You made me curious, what's so special about "Wargame: Red Dragon"? Won't you get the same chats as in any other online game for some reason?
Strictly none of the things you said contradict what I said.

There are very many ways to conduct sampling, the current method just being one of them, and the past 100 year of optimizations were conducted under the rather punishing constraint of "no math allowed at then end of the pipeline".
It doesn’t accomplish anything beyond causing undue chaos. Covid is now part of the larger ecosystem of exciting respiratory viruses you catch every year. Knowing it is Covid specifically and not some other virus doesn’t really give the sick person additional information—for the majority of infections the response will be the same: stay home, get rest, get good sleep, take your vitamins and recover.

All this mass testing is a colossal waste of health resources that doesn’t add any useful information beyond bumping up the case count.

Covid is endemic. Part of learning to live with it is to not test everybody that comes down with flu/cold-like symptoms. We’ve never done this for other respiratory viruses except before prescribing very specific medications like tamiflu.
Yeah, I was vehemently anti-mirrorless until maybe just like 6 weeks ago. I tried to use every reason to stick with the latest Canon DSLR, but there are just too many advantages with the mirrorless R5.

And a lot of advantages are the computational tech in the cameras that you speak of. The eye tracking and focus is absolutely incredible. Those that claim cellphone cameras will replace dedicated cameras have no idea the advances that are taking place in the cameras. Camera companies are not sitting by idle and waiting for cellphones to make themselves obsolete. They are making incredible strides. With the advantages of the sensor sizes and lens physics, I'm not going to say cellphones will never catch up, but I find it hard to believe they will.
I consider it meta commentary at some point - nobody can show off anything without hearing of unrelated, obscure projects.

I was hoping the sarcasm would lead to some larger discussion of naming collisions. The sarcasm was to simply point out that this name already has a tremendous naming collision, with a farming implement we've been using for thousands of years - you can't get any more ridiculous than that.

I think when it comes to naming collisions, we should call a spade a spade, after all...

> Is it even possible to talk about the fall of the Western Roman Empire without someone interjecting that the Eastern Roman Empire didn't fall?

No. It would be like discussing quantum mechanics without mentioning wave-particle duality--you're missing a key part of the story.

If you're legitimately interested in understanding why Late Antiquity played out the way it did, your hypotheses have to come up with a plausible explanation for why the trajectories of the Western and Eastern Roman Empire diverged as much as they did.

The Stoics have a reserve clause that I like that they add to there goals...

i.e if the goal is 'I will do this' then you add 'if all goes well' to the end of it, avoiding any form of attachment, giving the sense of direction but understanding that there are things outside of your control and you might just not get lucky.

I think in this sense it's good to have goals to give you the direction when you do want to do some work, but not tie your entire being to it, so that you can also just enjoy life too and sometimes that might mean not hitting a goal but that is okay too.
Russia is also pretty dependent on the revenues from supplying the gas, so I'm not sure if it would be in anyone's interests to disrupt the supply.
My Dad couldn't get a loan from the bank because he had a bunch of kids and a moderatly paying job. He wasn't able to implement his ideas without capital. First generations of immigrants to this country solve this by pooling thier money. Some cultures in America still do this.

The problem is that people like to carve out territories in their data architecture before they have become subject matter experts. Once you split two things it's so difficult to add certain kinds of features that most people just give up and deal with higher fanout.

What you often get is the sum being less than the whole of its parts, and trying to offset that by achieving greater 'parts' through coherence and conceptual integrity in isolation. There is such a thing as 'Coherent but wrong'.
This is the same kind of "individual responsibility" nonsense that allows manufacturers of plastic bags to continue to produce billions of them while we pretend us recycling has any effect.

It's propaganda, specifically made to allow the true polluters to continue unabated while we impotently discuss ways to individually handle a collective problem.
If we're going to have billionaires, might as well as incentivize them to invest the money in useful things. Elites during gilded age built many institutions, funded museums. I remember anecdote about gilded rich buying a town to redirect railway too close their manor with caveat that they paid everyone involved over market value for relocation.

I also saw a recent HN comment that todo lists are basically suitable only for low-level ICs and that the truly successful don't use them. I wondered if that was really true and, well, here we are.

[edit]: I think there's also an issue that people can't self-regulate very well, so when they fail, they blame whatever system they use. So I wanted a clear signpost I could point to make it utterly clear that successful people do use these things (and, therefore, that any misgivings have other roots).
Pretty early on it becomes apparent that you'd quite like to fetch more than one resource. In 1992 you're fetching one page of HTML markup or maybe a file somebody linked, but by 1995 you're definitely fetching a picture of the author's cat and the logo of the organisation they work for. Maybe there is a little animated GIF explaining that the page is under construction. Today obviously most documents on the web have lots of resources ("Under construction" GIFs are gone, but pictures of the author's cat are still very much a thing, now joined by audio and video, style and of course scripts).

Obviously one thing you can do is, for every resources spin up a new HTTP connection to the remote server. These connections have no relationship to each other, so that's a bunch of extra overhead but nevertheless your browser today will probably try to do this several times per server. Still that's pretty inadequate, surely we can do better?

So, OK, HTTP/1.1 also has keep-alive. We can re-use connections, ask for a resource, wait until that's delivered, then fetch another one.

But notice this is strictly sequential. If you're a Unix person it's natural to try the next idea for HTTP, pipelining. Don't wait until things are delivered, just ask for everything you want, surely the remote server will provide one at a time, reading your next request, serving that, then the next one and so on, right?

But for 1990s server programmers excited by threads this doesn't work. Their server has one thread gathering requests, and for each request it spawns a thread to provide the answer. If I try to pileline my HTTP requests I get muddled nonsense back from their server. Sometimes. Is that forbidden by the HTTP specification. Sure. Did it happen anyway? Yes. So your browser does not use pipelining in HTTP/1.1

Also, this suffers head-of-line blocking. If I request CreditCardStatement19960402.pdf and you must send a tape robot to retrieve that, too bad, even though I also wanted bankname.jpeg and hideousfont.css I can't retrieve those because I'm waiting for CreditCardStatement19960402.pdf. The network is idle while we wait for the robot.

Google's servers and Google's browser spoke SPDY back in the day, which fixes a bunch of this. That doesn't exist any more because HTTP/2 was standardised and has the same fixes plus other stuff, some of which proved very useful, other things not so much. Only one way to find out.
Ultimately everything has to be convertible to everything else. Kinetic force must be convertible to particles and even time must be inherently material if it can interact with space and material.
Possibly, but only briefly, highly dependent on the composition. Previous large explosions had measurable cooling effects for a year or two.
Quite a lot of assumptions and conjecture about how things would have turned out…

Maybe better to frame as “it could have” or “what if”? And even then, who knows. It’s not like everything SmallTalk related is a panacea, it’s unclear how a text file and data structures have meaningful and usable bi-directional interchanges, or that the GUI of Suns had much sway in what was going on in the rest of the computing world which probably had seen few of these miraculous hypothetical SmallTalk systems running at huge pricing for enterprises.

I've been following Will McGugan (the author) on twitter for a while. I learnt PyGame from his book. He more or less documented his thought processes on twitter and it's been very nice to see it develop over time.

Why are you trying to please someone else when making a life decision for yourself? That makes no sense.

Make a decision, and when you're ready - tell him clearly the decision you've made. Then make the change.

You're overthinking this.
You are seeing this a lot everywhere.

I think people are just burnt out and maybe lockdowns/covid has made them realise this more as they are unable to do the things that used to put some much time into.

Life cannot and should not be just about doing work, being productive, attaining goals, being useful etc. I think the problem is with a standard job and a normal adult life, we have little time for anything else and life just seems like an endless stream of things we need to do in order to be worthwhile or to reach any level of competency.

Like with most things though, there is a balance. It's good to work on yourself, make improvements, obtain goals etc, it's not so good if your entire life just becomes this and balance is exceptionally hard with the lack of time and energy that exists compared to what is required to do all of this.
You’ll never get a good answer to this. All this testing does is further propel the panic and hysteria.

All these people who want this testing should be asking themselves what changes in the treatment of their viral infection if they know it was Covid instead of some other common respiratory virus? For the vast majority of the public the difference in treatment for Covid is the exact same as any other respiratory illness: stay home, get rest, and drink lots of liquid.
> I don't think I'll ever use cat again if I can help it.

user 0m0.014s
sys 0m0.400s
$ time bat 1GiB 1GiB 1GiB 1GiB >/dev/null

Seems like a lot of these "modern" replacements lose what the original simpler utils do well.

YES. I fully agree that the measures are insufficient AND that addition of intranasal vaccines to those measures would be even better.

The greater measures we should be taking was out of scope; I was merely trying to show that the other complaint saying 'why bother with measures when they don't work' is entirely in the wrong direction -- the fact that this vastly more infectious variant is producing wave similar in scope to the original and Delta waves shows that the measures ARE working -- without them, this more infectious strain would be far worse.
GlassNode's tagline is "Time crypto market tops and bottoms.", I don't doubt that simply analyzing the exchanges is a valid market. But not one that I think is particularly large, particularly not when the exchanges can add their own analytics at any point.

You misunderstand me. That they don't practice those ideals doesn't stop them from including them in their party platforms. Parties can distinguish themselves in two ways: with promises, and with actions. Until they gain power, the pirate party can only distinguish itself with promises. And it can't do so if it promises the same things as every other party.

> Almost every home in the US has at least one 240v connection in the house, and it's usually $200-300 to get one installed.

I would be impressed if you could get 240 run from your breaker to your kitchen for $200, unless the breaker box is right next to your kitchen. The cost of the job is mostly going to depend on how time consuming it is to run the wires, assuming the wires already present are not sufficient for carrying 240v 40A. A brief search on the internet indicates a very wide range of quotes, probably dependent on site conditions and the local electrician labor market.
That’s an understandable position. Still, one ought not ignore the embarrassing (for some) similarities between the two.

The ugly WinForms one is still simple, but you can either adopt a proprietary "simple app building" solution for the other 3 OSes (or just use it for all 4 OSes), and have serious issues finding devs who know the niche tech you've picked, or you can make a website.

Or you can adopt a free software / open source simple app building solution for all four OSes (or, hm, at least three of them -- not quite sure about iOS) that compiles natively on these and many other OSes.

> edit: they're heterotrophs

Except not these ones! These are autotrophs fungi, they do some kind of photosynthesis (it's absolutely not the same metabolic path, though) gaining their energy from gamma rays instead of food.

Edit: The above comment is wrong, I though autotroph vs heterotroph was about energy input (as a matter of fact I'm very convinced it was how my college teacher explained it) but from wikipedia it looks like I'm wrong, and such fungi would be classified as Photoheterotroph[1]
