I could use the same rationale to say people who are fat are willingly putting others in danger.
As up to 75% of C19 hospitaltizations are obese persons I could just a s easily hunt down overweights and accuse them of murder as their unhealthy habits are now clogging the medical system forcing us to shut down society to protect them.

I could call them names ,like typhoid Maries. Fat fucks.
Ban them from participating in society unless they show a proper BMI index card.
Force them into diet camps.

I happily spend my tax money for peole who smoke, overeat, drink and drive, get bothched breas augmentations, beat the crap of eachother, OD on heroin and all the amazing horrible things that make us humans.

Whatever choice you make in your life, you can NEVER EVER be threatened to have medical care taken away from you.

Unconditinal medical care is one of the corner stones of our society.

Red Cross workers in conflict areas will treat rape victims in one tent, and their rapist in the next.

Fun job, no.
But if you cannot handle it than you should not have gone into medicine.

This tendency to normalice demands of who gets medical care and who doesnt stops now.
There are not many things I will violently defend, but if society will ever hint that it is going to elect who gets medical support and who doesnt based on their personal life choices I will protest. Violenty if I have to.

This is a basic human right I am willing to die for.
If vaccines actually had pandemic-halting benefits I might agree with you. All numbers currently point to otherwise.
> And if it is a class, or even method: it is violating SRP.

Not always! Somebody is going to have to discriminate on the argument, and if indeed the caller already knows what they're providing, there's no need to wrap it in an Either -- there should be individual methods for both variants. But if the caller doesn't know what it is yet, and the type represents a domain concept that happens to be a set of options, then there's no reason the caller has to busy itself with that knowledge. To the caller, this might be (actually or morally) an opaque type, and the callee may be where knowledge about it is centralized, and hence where discriminating on the variants ought to happen.

The single-responsibility principle is definitely something that always needs to be kept in mind, but it's not something that can be replaced with broad rules, either.

> If it is a return-type, there too: why not [...] do like Rust: make it an `Option<Some, None>: user` or a `Result<Ok, Err>: user`, the typing now contains this "either/or" not the variable names;

That's exactly what they did -- in the ML-like syntax they used, their `PersonOrError` is exactly `Either<Person, Err>`, but with the type arguments pre-instantiated.

type PersonOrError1 =
| P of Person
| E of Error

type 'l 'r either =
| Left of 'l
| Right of r

type PersonOrError2 = Person Error either
> Couple that to daycare/preschool shutdowns: if there's a case in the class we've got to keep our kids at home for a week. We both work. We can deal with it, lord knows we've had to do it enough times already, but it's absolutely draining.

At least now people start to realize that they work too much and that schools are not institutions of education any more but rather prisons for children so that their parents can be exploited by the capitalist elite class, having to work only to barely make rent.

Parents should be able to parent their children and the time effort required for that doesn't fly with both parents having to work 40 hours a week. When you have to get up at 0600 to get ready for the day, leave at 0800 for the job, come home at 1800, spend an hour making and eating dinner, you only have four to five hours with your children - and stuff like hobbies (both for parents and children), sex, dealing with adult stuff (insurances, paperwork) hasn't even been included yet.
Hopefully that means he'll prioritize things that are making Signal a hard sell to WhatsApp and Telegram users.

All I can say is that Omicron is not significantly less dangerous. This is actually shaping up to be worse than the Delta surge. If you believe Delta was serious, then this is too.

> It looked for a while there like this could be a thing that gets “done”—that we would get a good vaccine into enough people, then incidence would decline so far it just goes away... That didn’t happen. We’re stuck with it for a foreseeable future. Well, one can cry for the world that was, or one can get up and live in the world that is.

Whats the magic number? There are places like New York that have 95% over 18 with at least 1 vaccine and 83.3% with completed vaccination status. But the problems still persist and the entire focus is on those last few percent of people moving the needle, when in the past we've been told "herd immunity" would be conservatively reached at ~70%.

https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/vaccination-progress-date
For instance 79% of the people >18yo who tested positive in December were vaccinated. And that's pretty much the % of people over 18 that are vaccinated in the UK. You get pretty much the same result for each age tranche:

Positive of which % pos test % population
Age Tests vaxed vaccinated vaccinated

>I have no experience with that. I am connected to a virtual desktop right now that is in my employer's datacenter. I am at home on my personal desktop. On my company virtual desktop I am running Zoom and am on a conference call with 11 people all of us have video turned on and there is literally 0 latency that I can perceive. I have a local Logitech webcam that is perfectly accessible from my VDI desktop.

inpreceptable latency in teleconferencing doesn't tell you much. There's already so much latency built in (eg. the webcam itself, the encoder/decoder, the time it takes for your packets to travel over the internet to the relay server and then to the other attendants) that the extra latency added by VDI can be buried. On the other hand when you're doing any sort of interactive editing the latency is very noticeable, because there isn't much latency to start with.
On the MacBook side of things, the jump from a 2012 machine to a 2020/2021 M1 machine is enormous.
It's too early to say. Eio is still under very active development, so we'll have to see how it goes. The more useful feedback we get on it now, the more likely it'll be submitted for consideration in the OCaml stdlib when appropriate.
Any reasonable expert in the field will tell you you don't plug an auto-updating dependency into production. Marak wrote code. You, (the consumer), pulled, and deployed it without due diligence. That is entirely on you.

Not one person is obligated to keep your crap working except you. This has really outed all the people who really should know better.
Couldn't we mash something like [flattr](https://flattr.com/) into the package managers ( npm, pip, cpan etc.)?

That would give the companies/users an option of regularly contributing a fixed budget to x FOSS projects without having to track down who/where/how for each dependency. The org collecting the micro payments distributes once a month to project maintainers with commit privileges.

For static libs, the project maintainers recursively use the same mechanism, the money trickles all the way down the dependency tree.
That is not a theory anybody familiar with the matter tends to agree with.
Hospitals have always been overwhelmed. Check out this 2018 article about the flu: https://dfw.cbslocal.com/2018/01/08/hospital-overrun-by-flu-...

Empty beds aren’t making money for hospitals so they often run close to capacity.
Unless you have very limited space it's more cost effective and much easier to maintain to have more fixed panels.
No, you're not the only one. It's just generally not advisable to say so here (or worse, on Reddit) because the bucket-crabs will getcha.

FWIW, I did write atrocious code when I was 16. But I'm in my 40's now.
"a months-long scratchy cough"

But isn't that normal at times for a cold season with kids?

There are lots of really nasty diseases children can get, where safe vaccinations exist. But most data so far told me with covid I have to worry much more about the social developement of my kids. That was really restricted and that is not good.
Are you me? Same here. Fully vax and picked up omicron. 2 days bed. Every single flu I've ever had was worse than this covid.

>Already contracted Covid, have 2 vaccines, I'm down to get a booster every year or two, at my own leisure.

I will go get the flu shot. I don't know, nor care, what strains they are going for in the flu shot. I do know they tend to target different strains every year. They can mix match as much as they like. If coronavirus is the one they want to target this time, fine whatever.

>I'm OK with and to be honest, it feels a lot like the government trying to deflect from the fact healthcare isn't OK (at least in my home country, Canada).

2 weeks to flatten the curve was only to prevent healthcare system from collapsing. But for whatever reason they switched to 'lets eradicate all illness by staying home and wearing masks.

>There's always been risks to life and this feels more like governments are trying to convince people the risk should be zero so they can be the heroes while at the same time expanding their powers...

Makes me wonder. why in history did we never try to end the flu season? there's clear starts and ends to the flu season. Mandate wearing mask in public stores seems like it eliminated flu and cold.

Though you touch on an interesting thought. Has covid really been all about government expanding their power? I dont think covid was created for this purpose, but I certainly suspect they all jumped on board to using it as an excuse to expand their power.
Is it not better to bootstrap a company ?
I don't quite understand -- you went to the hospital for what original reason then, if it wasn't Covid?

Game performance, and cooling in general outside of a very specific use case, isn't affected by what the marketing department of Intel says the 10 core AVX wattage of the 12600k is being compared to what the marketing department of AMD says the 6 core AVX wattage of the 5600X is.

When a single core is maxed out the real world measured difference is roughly 12 watts between the two and remember the 12600k is doing slightly more per second than the 5600X. If your gaming device of choice is a laptop that'd be interesting but both are desktop gaming CPUs. If 24/7 all core workload power efficiency is your concern I'd steer you away from either gaming optimized option.

I really like what AMD has done, my last 2 desktop CPUs have been a 3900X and a 5950X, but if I were to buy a entry level gaming CPU right now the 12600k would be very interesting regardless what the all core AVX thermals look like on a stock cooler.

The premise of the wiki is interesting, though I do think it’s lacking in variety from what I’ve seen so far. It seems to cater towards very niche part of internet culture aesthetics. There’s still definitely a couple of good reads though!
No, I would argue for exactly that. If ten patients arrive at the ER and it's full, the unvaccinated-without-a-medical-condition-preventing-vaccination COVID patient gets a bed last, after the vaccinated COVID patients and any non-COVID patients. For people in CA, at least, there are digital records of this, not much testing needed.

This would be called "heartless" on the individual scale, but towards a group that I believe is being heartless on a societal scale.

Honestly, it's a capsule of where we are as a country: Here we have a government entity whose suggestions are rejected by these people still suggesting to prioritize them in order to get them the best treatment possible. I don't see anything like the same consideration for others being made by most of the unvaccinated. One side is trying to do what's best for everyone, the other side doesn't really give a shit about thinking things through.
Apparently it isn't no brainer, since I don't understand what is the benefit received for 7% of the company. Could you explain?

> In a software industry that's seen dramatic increases in demand and compensation, it's also questionable why people would even see a need? What is supposed to be the big benefit in this field that pays well, offers great flexibility in hours and location, cushy benefits and numerous opportunities for personal development?

Exactly. I really can't name one reason, besides in a hypothetical scenario where an entire tech firm was made up of employees who are married with kids and aren't being paid enough such that 2 to 4 months of unemployment would be a big deal. But even in that case, I have a hard time seeing that being a huge problem because it just seems so rare that anyone gets let go unless the company is in serious trouble.

Plus in tech so many of us have the skills to be our own employer if need be. That's not to say it's always an alternative to employment, but that's an opportunity there for many of us that doesn't exist in most other fields.

A particular company would have to have serious problems and its employees would need to lack leverage for a union to be conceptually necessary in tech, at least in the United States. I can't speak for the rest of the world.

Yup. I did a very quick calculation based on last years yield and if the new energy prizes remain at this level it seems our 2.7kWp is going to pay itself back in about 4 years (!) instead of about 9-10 years. Crazy.

Another scamcoin or "open source" (not really) project, no doubt.
In rural places in India most deaths are not registered at all. There are no funeral and memorial services. Family members and neighbors get together and perform the last rituals without notifying the authorities in any way. The death is counted only when family approaches govt for death certificate which is needed for bank accounts, transferring real-estate or any other govt formalities that needs to be closed. It is hard to get the exact count of deaths with such an unorganized system. I don't deny govt conspiracy to lower the numbers but I think majority of deaths didn't even reach govt books.
Thanks. I guess that goes along with the discussion in the thread above about just when capitalism emerged. I would argue that it was essentially there at the beginning of private property, but that it was overshadowed by government until the 18th century, when it became relevant to talk about capital apart from government because it was now capable of creating change in society at a scale formerly only associated with the state.

Startups are incredibly painful, especially at the early stage. There are always exceptions, but lots of red flags to what you've described. Most importantly it doesn't sound like your team is committed... But it also seems like they lack the relevant competency in Sales, Product or Startups. You might learn a lot by going down the path you're on, but it sounds like you're going to be learning by running through walls so I would expect it to hurt.

I quit and I just felt worse. I'm not a morning person and only caffeine lets me function.

My trade off was no caffeine on the weekends. It lowered my tolerance a lot since I had over 48 hours off it.

I don't have any mental health issues, so I can't speak to that trade off. But in the past, when I've had some anxiety, caffeine makes it worse.
If people aren't getting COVID and are staying at home because of a shutdown, then this exact same situation happens again just later in time... (After the school shutdown)

"Weaponized selfishness"
I see. Not being able to detach your mental process from an overburdened project probably means that you are more prone to suffer the kind of issues discussed every time this topic is brought up. Caution is advised, I guess.

You might be able to perfectly handle your OSS projects despite of this tendency, you probably have your own complementary techniques (like limiting the number of simultaneously accepted PRs at any given time? I'd be interested if you want to share any), or if a bad wave of burden arrives one day, you might end up burning out and either throwing the towel or growing a thicker skin. Hopefully the latter!
I've had Private Relay stop working for me once and I was served a push notification indicating that it wasn't working.

This is my biggest concern. Hopefully the replacement will truly care about user privacy and have the balls to fight for it, even if it means going up against large (governmental) organizations.
> But it is also FOSS.

In letter, but not in spirit, as explained by Kuhn in the post I linked to, which is the whole problem.
I'm not so conspiracy minded typically.

But this line of discussion is so bad, that I can only imagine it originated from Russian propaganda. How the hell does bringing in _PROVEN_ COVID19 positive people into a face-to-face setting with sick/immunocompromised patients a possible benefit in this situation?

The situation is sickening to think about. Its not something a rational person could ever possibly come up on their own.
Most companies in YC these days raise over $1M at demo day, so no, I don't think many companies are likely to skip demo day as a result of this.

Our goal instead is to make companies more successful at demo day. Now they'll have more capital to use to grow during the batch, and they'll have more leverage to negotiate with demo day investors because they are better capitalized going into their fundraise.
I don't seriously believe that you want to apply for a job, knowing you set the bar at 250K/yr, when the posting set the bar at 30k/yr.
Yes, I’ve wondered why the wokesters didn’t use that, or the alternative latine. But this author explains it well: they use latinx to signal to each other; existing, working words don’t accomplish that.
> What will the long term effects be? We don't know.

Thank you for bringing this up. It isn’t “anti-science” to ask these type of questions and expect answers.

Indeed, it has always been the job of the FDA to hold drug companies responsible for proving that their drugs do not harm. Guilty until proven innocent. Given the rushed approval, incredible profit motive, reluctance of the FDA to respond to FOIA requests and the strong pushback against those who ask questions I think some skepticism is warranted.

So far, the cost-benefit for those not in high risk groups (especially children) seems waaaaay off. Why vaccinate children that are at almost no risk of serious illness when we clearly do not have all the info on long term vax risks?
Mathematically, you want to be perpendicular to the sun, so typically you'd take your latitude and set that as the angle to horizontal. Some systems allow you to adjust the angle seasonally, angling down to latitude+23 degrees for the middle of winter and up to latitude-23 for the middle of summer, but your roof probably doesn't support that. Also, you might want to bias a little towards the sky rather than the ground; on cloudy days the light comes from all over the sky (less comes from the low-albedo dirt), and if it's fixed year round, again bias it a little towards summer angles because there's less solar energy and more clouds in the winter.

Realistically, though, the angle just doesn't matter that much. More silicon area covers a multitude of inefficiencies. You're already proving this by setting a constant azimuth of S-SW because that's where the house aims, doing that again with the angle of elevation isn't that bad.

A conversation with a roofer/contractor might go something like this: "Not sure what this nonsense about the arctangent of the latitude is, but you want a slope of 13 7/8 in 12?!?! That's ridiculous, I don't know if I could even get a permit for that, much less trusses or shingles. I did hear of a guy who did something like that for a custom house, he's probably booked out for 20 months and I hear he charges $900/square, talk to him not me if you really, really want that. I can do 9/12 pitch [36.87 degrees] at $600 per square [hundred square feet]. If you go down to 6/12 [26.57 degrees] my guys can walk it and get the job done faster, I'd go $550/square, final offer."
