The South Africans have not been saying that at all.

They have said it's somewhat milder and results in lower rates of hospitalisation, but that it's still a serious disease and that the increased infectiousness can result in the same number of people hospitalised (or more) because it cancels out.

In fact, South Africa's Omicron-driven wave peaked at just under 10 000 hospitalised, comparable to around 15 000 hospitalised for the Delta-driven third wave. [0] And this was in a population with extremely high seroprevalence and a 400/100k death rate with nearly 300 000 dead.

It is completely irresponsible and without excuse for any main network operator/owner to not be completely aware of what each and every cable does which is connected to a switch/network router. If the owner refuses to determine this, they are responsible if there is a nefarious device on the network until they do. Wireless makes this much more complicated so any responsible admin will ensure the wireless network is completely isolated from the physical network and is privileged to only access the internet or separate devices.

This is a bullshit excuse. People don't decide to sponsor a project in a vacuum. They look at the project, its history, and the circumstances of its creation. The project is free to begin with, so what is there to sponsor in the first place?

If I make a donation to a charity which I trust, and some third party simply takes the money and hands it over to some other charity instead, claiming that it doesn't matter because the goal is the same, I'd be rightfully outraged. How is this different?

At a minimum, recognize that not all p < 0.05 results have an equal claim on scientific truth. The study power and the prior probability of the hypothesis being true also influence the posterior probability [1]. In particular, underpowered studies of implausible hypotheses provide almost no scientific signal [2], and p < 0.05 is meaningless in such cases.

I'm glad you suggested that, because one of the first comparisons I drew in my article[1] about the "with"-syntax was how it looks like a for-loop.

If you are interested, I did provide a few macros[2], but as another commenter pointed out, they won't handle an early return. You can use "break" to exit early though:

#define with(declare, startup, cleanup, block) \
{ \
declare; \
if (( startup )) { \
do { \
block; \
} while(0); \
cleanup; \
} \
}

with (FILE *fp, fp = fopen(path, "rb"), fclose(fp), {
fread(buf, 1, sizeof(buf)-1, fp);
if (ferror(fp)) {
perror(path);
break;
}
printf("%s\n", buf);
success = 1;
})

There's also "withif"

#define withif(declare, startup, cleanup, block, otherwise) \
{ \
declare; \
if (( startup )) { \
do { \
block; \
} while(0); \
cleanup; \
} otherwise; \
}

The issue with the missiles is that the other side also has them, and is quite keen to use theirs without being hit by yours. Combatants have a way of learning to neutralize each other’s advantages, and claims of weapon system capabilities are almost always overstated.

I think that's a fair evaluation, if not technically correct. But don't discount how different the effects can be: low-dose benadryl makes you sleepy. High dose benadryl makes you hallucinate people, spiders, and other things that aren't really there.
Can you really blame him?

He's 74 and retiring at the end of this year, he lives in a state that does not mandate wearing a mask (nor a vaccination) and he's forced (along with the students) to go back to in-person teaching despite covid still circulating and the latest, more contagious covid variant emerging.

Now he's quite colorful in his choosing of words, but then again, so are many showpeople that a lot of people like and follow (think of John Oliver for example) and I don't see that much of a difference.

NGL, I'd choose different words but I fundamentally agree with his underlying point: keep social distancing.
Always been interested to know why pandas implemented index the way it did. I generally find myself doing .reset_index on everything by default because it's just one less thing to think about, but it's clear that pandas devs are very fond of it based on the API. Where it still feels weird is when e.g. groupby/pivot by default return everything with a custom index, when I've given no indication that it needs to be treated differently to a column, but then e.g. merge doesn't do this? It's also written out by default in .to_csv, like just... why? Not useful for any csv that is to be used outside pandas. God help you if you end up needing to use a multi-index for something - deeply unpleasant.

Was this just a high level (possibly misguided) paradigm that the pandas devs fell in love with - or is there a good, performance related reason to embed it so deeply in the API?

UFO “Coaxing”? Yes Excerpts from a UFOTwitter Thread
> The notation the author complains about looks like a broken polish (prefix) notation with added parens.

The notation the author complains about is the first version using 'normal' (prefix) functions.

a + b = (+)(a, b) = add(a, b) = a `add` b (Haskell infix) = a .add. b (Fortran infix)
a * b = (*)(a, b) = mul(a, b) = a `mul` b = a .mul. b

so

a*(1.0-t) + b*t

is

(+)(a*(1.0-t), b*t) = (+)((*)(a, 1.0-t), (*)(b, t)) = add(mul(a, 1.0-t), mul(b, t))
Air to air combat kills are rare because the strategic circumstances that would make them numerous enough to be unexceptional would likely tree up to minor-to-major nuclear conflict.

More directly, am struck that the average person has yet to internalize that in modern high-intensity conflict detection roughly = mission kill if not outright destruction. Everything operationally important (air, sea, ground) that wants to survive needs to avoid emission/detection long enough to detect something else first and destroy it.

Yeah, sure it's that simple. Hey, isn't this all about decentralising power, everyone being their own bank? So let's be really decentralised: Everyone should of course be their own central bank ("Fed"), and issue their own "coin".

So when I want to buy something from or sell something to you, I'm gonna say that a MyCoin is worth ten YouCoin; you'll presumably try to claim the opposite.

How "simple" is that?
> For one thing, developers can run whatever code in CI before it's been reviewed.

Yeah I don't think this gets talked about enough.

If you're talking about private repos in an organization then CI often runs on any pull request. That means a developer is able to make CI run in an unreviewed PR. Of course for it to make its way into a protected branch (main, etc.) it'll likely need a code review but nothing is stopping that developer who opened the unreviewed PR to modify the CI yaml file in a commit to make that PR's pipeline do something different.

Requiring a team lead or someone to allow every individual PR's pipeline to run (what GitHub does by default in public repos) would add too much friction and not all major git hosts support the idea of locking down the pipelines file by decoupling it from the code repo.

Edit: Depending on which CI provider you use, this situation is mostly preventable -- "mostly" in the sense that you can control how much damage can be done. Check out this comment later in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29967077
Well, sure, if you consider America's empire as a flex of "softer" power, as in selling cooperation and Disney, then maybe it's just absurd to think of Canada being any more culturally American than it already is.
I think you're missing the point. A diet's success depends on how hungry it makes you feel. A diet with a 100 calories per day deficit where you're never hungry is (obviously) superior to a diet with a 100 calories per day deficit where you're always hungry. The advantage of IF is to reduce hunger.
If any data which can potentially be exchanged before STARTTLS can affect the connection establishment in any way (except simply failing it) then there is a problem because of MITM attacks.

If there is nothing like that then there is no point to have STARTTLS.

Idk. if that is the case for XMPP. Note that what matter is what can be send, not what is send as a MITM attacker can modify anything.

But even if not, if there is a risk of an implementation being affected by anything send by a MITM attacker impersonating a server it's an problem.

Like attacking vulnerabilities in XML parsers.

Either way, I have not time to look at the protocol, but STARTTLS is security wise generally a bad idea.

Even if it does(?) work ok for XMPP.
"With a permanent installation you can link the sensor CO2 data with the hvac system for a demand controlled ventilation."

That may be the best greenfield solution. Yet this is not a greenfield situation. These sensors are assigned to the school, but they are not permanently installed, and they cannot control the systems. Most existing systems aren't even capable of being controlled that way.

In real life, the response was predictable - “I was shocked and appalled by this video. It is profane, offensive and disturbing and in no way reflects our university or its values,” President David Eisler said Thursday.[1]

In a better, more adult, timeline, as suggested by one of the replies on Metafilter[2], the response would have continued

"He went on to explain that the University reserves the right to kill off as many of its old professors as it deems expedient and requires them all to meet their deaths quietly and without fuss. "It's difficult enough to keep being paid more than any of these people without needing to meet their accusing eyes in the staffroom as well", Eisler said."

If the latter had happened, I'd be quite interested to see what remote courses I could attend at such a fine institution. Alas, we're on the worst timeline.

[Q] Do we really want to be perceived as book burners?

[A] Tbh I don’t care too much what a bunch of normies that
probably didn’t even know the book existed think. The book
would still exist but digitized and in the blockchain.

[Q] Why not just use Arweave, IPFS, and a variety of other
long-term digital preservation strategies? All of them are
less expensive and resource-intensive.

IPFS is not permanent. If it stops being hosted it
disappears. Arweave cannot compare to something like
Ethereum which is a truly decentralized network. But
upmost I would say that cost of uploading is a feat, not a
problem. It would make our collection even more special.

These are a bunch of seriously sociopathic, inconsiderate and reckless thugs. I'm happy to see them fleecing each other.

A recent study from the University of Bristol suggests that Covid particles become 90% less infectious within as little as five minutes. I don’t know whether the UK will get much benefit from measuring PM2.5. The CO2 monitors will alert them to open windows and that’s about all that can be done.

A thought about dog fights: As they fire large heavy rounds at each other (.50 BMG or bigger), have there been any accounts of ground casualties or damage from these stray rounds? Or do the bullets lose too much velocity (the .50 BMG has been shown to be effective up to 3+km)? I'd imagine the odds of getting hit are VERY slim but not impossible.
I really doubt there are millions of us that chose to pay on Amazon with Visa Credit Cards, here in UK.
It’s entirely possible that that’s exactly what happened. The space is awash with people that got lucky in the initial boom and have convinced themselves (and a few others) that they’re investing geniuses and not just lucky fools. Come to think of it, this phenomenon isn’t limited to bitcoin, although the signaling behavior is quite different than a VC that’s gotten lucky once.

I have been using indexes more and more if you do essentially series based operations but you need to re-associate the results back. It enables you to avoid using dataframes as inputs to your data transformations.
Me, for example. In the last five years living in north Austin, I've been downtown less than 10 times. That's on purpose. I've declined interviews for companies because their offices are downtown (and they required some portion of regular in-office presence). I'm not afraid of downtown, but certainly resistant to being there. I don't want to go down for dinner, much less live there.

Here's a hot take: By sabotaging the project, the author has quite clearly expressed that they do not want people to be using their software anymore, even though, legally speaking, the license allows them to do so.

Anybody who continues using this new fork should therefore never again complain about evil corporations making money from FOSS and not giving back just because they're legally allowed to. This is the exact same thing.

Somehow my 11 year old got interested in lockpicking (maybe happened upon LPL?). So I got him a kit consisting of a clear-bodied lock and picking tools. He had mastered it within a couple of hours. Then he taught me. And since them we've picked every pad lock and door lock in our house. The biggest and meanest looking ones turned out to be all bluff and the easiest to pick. I hadn't thought that it might be illegal where I live. Maybe better check.
Is that iPhone a legit early Apple mockup before, or just a joke?
Nah, I think it is fine. The problems are almost all (the author's) problems with zig's philosophy of "when to do things you need for a 1.0". Author mostly wants docs, guides, error messages, and package manager, which are supposed to be "late in the development process" according to my understanding of the unofficial zig roadmap.
According to https://goflightmedicine.com/stimulants-sleep-aids/

> in 1960 the United States Air Force sanctioned use of Amphetamine as a counter-fatigue measure in flight operations. The medication was used widely by USAF and Army aircrew during the Vietnam Conflict.
[...]
> In the USAF, three sleep aids (temazepam aka Restoril, zolpidem aka Ambien, & zaleplon aka Sonata)and two stimulants (dextroamphetamine aka Dexedrine & modafanil aka Provigil) are approved for use by certain aircrew in particular operational situations.

I don't know whether this is done for basic 3-4 hour missions as a matter of course, or whether they're reserved for unusual, 24-hour-plus missions
I didn't just say that. I said that if you put your code out there in such a form as people rely on your instance of it, you have an obligation to not break them without warning. Don't want that obligation? Don't put the code out there in that form, put it out in such a way that people can't rely on your specific upload to use the software. If that means "don't use X package manager", then so be it.
That’s not what he was complaining about…
I wonder which schools are getting them. In some areas they're probably counterproductive, in the sense that the air outside might be less safe than the one in the classroom (without HVAC systems, this will probably be the case in pretty much all major English cities, which is why the government was forced by the courts to do something and mandated the implementation of Clean Air Zones).
