No, using it as a reminder that saying a high percentage of people have mild cases isn't a valid argument for saying we should just write off everyone else. Long COVID isn't as bad as Polio but that doesn't mean that it hasn't caused problems for millions of people or that we should be cavalier about assuming no long-term or worse problems will emerge. Getting people vaccinated before we relax restrictions is a cheap, easy, and highly effective way to reduce those risks.
Great, and what happens when you accidentally assign something greater than 2^31 to an int32_t when using strtol? You won't benefit from a range error if LONG_MAX is 2^63, and now you have to make sure to handle any implementation defined behavior.
In 1996, as a teenager, I had a ThinkPad laptop with a 486SX, 4 MB of RAM, and a 3.5" floppy drive. There was something weird about the floppy drive in that laptop that prevented stock Linux of that time from being able to work with it. But I was determined to get Slackware installed. Back then, Linux had the UMSDOS filesystem, which implemented a POSIX-capable filesystem on top of a directory tree on a DOS partition. And there was a DOS program called loadlinn that could boot into Linux from DOS. So I first installed Slackware using UMSDOS onto the DOS partition on my mother's PC, then transferred the linux directory tree from her PC to my laptop. I don't remember if I did that transfer using floppies or a null modem cable. Finally I removed the linux directory from my mother's PC. I did all of this while the rest of my family was away from home, so they never knew.

I later learned that I could add "floppy=thinkpad" to the kernel command line to enable support for the floppy drive in my ThinkPad model. Then I got brave and resized my DOS partition, using one of the free DOS-based partitioning tools available at the time, so I could have a real Linux filesystem.
I'm a big fan of the few generations old ultra small form factor machines. They're what I recommend to anyone specifically looking for a general purpose/small business desktop.
The crypto is also very questionable for any use case relevant to briar.

Financial support for a project is hard. Novel approach I've not seen before, not something I'd want.
Sinn Féin Was elected, they just couldn’t form a government.

They’ve lifted the vax cert requirements for going out, limits on size of gatherings, and most mask requirements are due to go in a couple of weeks.
Interesting. Different than my experience, but I was FAANG in Southern California, not the Bay Area.

We did have partners with all sorts of companies for discounts, so I would be surprised that there were discounts available, but it wasn’t like when you give your employee information when getting a loan they would do anything different. Now the travel perks were just being at FAANG we quite-nice and I miss those.
I’m very familiar with it after working for a company which does a tremendous amount of business in Europe. Our European office, based in the Netherlands, just wanted to use some Google translate proxy service rather than properly internationalize anything.

If anything, I cared a lot more about getting it right than anyone else but it is a lot of work.

My point is that with all of the work a company has to put in to even make a proper language choice available, complaining about flags is literally just finding a reason to be bothered.

It’s like somebody built you a house just how you wanted it, but you latched onto the color of the front door to complain.

So yes, 100%…if flags make your site look better just use flags and ignore the noise. If you want to do it a different way, do that. You’re investing the time to get it right, you don’t have time to deal with petty complaints about the selection box.
The "ownership" is good enough if somebody is surrounded by people who also see the Emperor's clothes. Anyone who doesn't believe it can be dismissed as a "right-clicker".

Initially I thought they had some interesting DRM technology but when I found out how weak it was I realized how desperate some people are for yet another asset they imagine is valuable.

which center around the idea that not everybody can be at the top of "the" social pyramid but that anybody can be at the top of a little social pyramid shared with a few other people.
I'd join, because some people are more interesting than others. It requires a 'sufficient complexity' to be a person others find interesting. Some people's faces invoke a story in the viewers mind. Other people's overall persona, conversation skills, or dress. Less visually obvious interesting people need to create/produce things externally - painting, drawing, books, blogs, equations, code, videos, ... to demonstrate their capability. Though that doesn't necessarily make anyone an interesting person, it's for others to decide.

But hasn't all this been going on for millennia? The internet has accelerated the process, lowering the barrier to entry to a few keystrokes. It's a messy Darwinian process, ultimately shaped by a combination of meritocracy and social norms. Complicated by the fact that different people find different things interesting.

So, in conclusion, 'interesting peoples' sites exist, such as HN, Medium, Substack, TED, Stack Exchange, even TikTok. Beauty and interestingness is in the eye of the beholder. Like-minded people tend to find each other. To attract interesting people send some content into the ether world. But a site where the gatekeepers is one person or a board, and not a community, is a reflection of the gatekeepers, akin to a gallerist or a curator.
> Correct, but CA recognizes common law marriage where it was triggered in other jurisdictions.

Every US state recognizes common law marriage from other jurisdictions, and (because of federal Cobstitutional rulings) does so without regard to the gender of participants.
> Not giving excuses, clearly they are incompetent. But it is not some demand of service from freeloaders.

I mean it definitely _is_ a demand of service from freeloaders, it just may not be intended as such.
Consistent inconsistency or inconsistent consistency. Similar, but slightly different.
Power is a processor architecture produced by IBM. It's been pretty popular at times - server side it was up there with Sun Sparc in popularity, before Linux on x86 ate the server market for lunch. Client side, variants of it were in every console for one of the generations - Wii/PS3/Xbox360. As pointed out by another poster, the PowerPC variant used to be in apple hardware too.

Variations of standard Power chips are also what runs IBM's mainframes. For quite a long time they beat Intel in raw performance on some benchmarks. The problem is it was 10x the price.

The workstations and servers were always crazy expensive compared to x86 hardware and that's one reason they remained pretty niche.

Within IBM, Power systems were most frequently used to run IBM's Unix - AIX.

I call this the "spaceship earth" problem: we're on a bounded planet with a heavily linked global economy. We're all linked together. The risks we're facing are also to a great extent global; pandemics, fuel supplies, climate change, local wars going nonlocal.

After a certain point you can't buy your way out of that. Do you think you could guarantee your fuel prices for the rest of your life, no matter what happens? Can you guarantee that your consumer goods prices will remain the same despite a global shipping jam? Do you think the prices of labour that you buy can be kept stable when a million more people are dead than expected in the US due to a pandemic? So how can you really inflation-protect an investment?

You have to invest in other things; personal, community and national resilience. Got to plant the occasional tree in whose shade you will not sit.

> PL/1 would have been a disaster, assuming it could run at all on a 16-bit machine.

There was a PL/1 compiler of sorts that IBM flogged on MS-/PC-DOS in the early days of the IBM PC. IBM didn't write it and only distributed it IIRC, but I can't recall if the one I used was written by Digital Research or Language Processors, Inc. (LPI). It was riddled with compromises and indeed, slow as death compiling. That's saying something when I was used to fiddling with paper tape and audio cassette by then; floppy disks were considered lightning fast by comparison, and the compiler bogged down that experience. So. Many. Floppy. Swaps.

It was sold under the value proposition that your mainframe programmers could prototype small bits of code on their PC's (even from home!!!), then when satisfied with the results they'd upload the polished source to the mainframe. I shudder to imagine what it took to make that USP a reality for real production code snippets.
... against hospitalization

It looks to me like we are moving the goalposts here. When not specified, "x% effective" used to mean "effective against contamination", now it means "effective against severe covid".

I think it is important to get as many people vaccinated as possible, but please, don't make things more confusing than they already are. It will only fuel conspiracy theories and give arguments to the antivax.
committing .dll files along with the GPL license violates the license in any case, im sure that's not stopping anyone from doing it but it's frustrating to see the GPL just dropped into repos as some kind of meaningless window dressing.
If two parties agree to something, it doesn't fall to only one of them to make sure everything works out, regardless of the behavior of the other party.

Divorce was indeed lower when women typically had no way of supporting themselves, and therefore were often forced to stay in a marriage. That hardly seems like the better end of the deal.
Well target date funds can cushion the impact of market drops while still giving you most of the benefits of a rising market. I use vfifx but pick a year that coincides with when you may want to exit.

I also have a larger buffer of cash these days, and have a scheduled purchase of the target date funds weekly.

There's no magic safety net. You could try to bet against the market through the options market, but timing is everything.
I remember when Linux finally got "good enough" in the early 90s and I switched from SCO Xenix and SCO Unix to Linux. Many people ran Linux on 486 machines. Other than the nostalgia of seeing the old boot loaders and boot screens, there's nothing special about this "feat"

What failures?

I’m pretty proud of our overall response as a nation, apart for the anti-mask loonies. Most of us did what was asked, and as a national policy we (mostly) followed the medical and scientific advice, with obvious compromises for economic, educational and social factors. And here we are now, having mostly gotten through it without massive loss of life, without overloading the hospitals (apart from unvaccinated towards the end) and we’re removing the restrictions.

Feels good.
By all means, feel free to come up with a throuple git analogy xD

>While I appreciate the Stoic-style appraisal of what really brings happiness, economically, this analysis seems precisely backward

Well, economic theory is not exactly what makes for a meaningful life.

>It amounts to saying that in an age of industrialization and globalism, when material goods are cheaper than ever, we should avoid partaking of this abundance.

Yes, we better. For our own mental health, for the sake of our relationships with people, for the environment, and even out of spite to the billions of dollars spend to infuence us to buy BS.

>But what this rationalization ignores is the extent to which tools and possessions enable new experiences. A well-appointed kitchen allows you to cook healthy meals for yourself rather than ordering delivery night after night.

You'd be surprised about how little of an "well appointed" kitchen you need to cook healthy meals.

>A toolbox lets you fix things around the house and in the process learn to appreciate how our modern world was made. A spacious living room makes it easy for your friends to come over and catch up on one another’s lives.

Not if you work all day to be able to afford that "spacious living room" and its furnishings, and has no live as a result.

Real friends can come over and catch up on one another's lives without "spacious living rooms" involved...

What is the export percent used for? I don't think it's true, but if that export 30% were all used for food for people then it'd be disingenuous to say only 10% is used for human food.
And get undefined behavior where the compiler can do anything it wants...
An independent water source such as a well or spring. A source of food such as arable land. A shelter of some kind.

I think the modern era has complicated the issue in many people’s minds, by making high tech stuff like solar lighting and internet seem like necessities. They aren’t if you decide they aren’t. Folks just want to appear more devout or disciplined or extreme than they are for cultural cachet. I don’t really get it, but I guess if you are wealthy, then you may desire to avoid consumption for any number of reasons, and offgrid living is a kind of restrained conspicuous consumption.

Having grown up off the grid in a one room cabin without running water or even electricity at the beginning, I think it’s a lot less romantic if you’re poor, and especially so without the amenities of modern living. To me, a lot of this feels like a flex, like #vanlife vs being homeless and living out of your car, or glamping vs sleeping rough. But I digress.

And the internet is part of the grid, not that the distinction means as much these days, with reliable WISPs and Starlink being viable. I think offgrid living jives more with DIY and community projects and less with corporate turnkey monetized solutions.

That’s the distinction I think is important here. Some folks want to be offgrid because of the freedom it gives them and their community. Some folks just do it for themselves and their egos.
Based on CDC numbers it's likely that some of the unvaccinated people you know were infected but didn't experience significant symptoms or get tested.

Is this something you've done yourself (either cohabing or getting married is fine), or is this more theoretical / speculative?
oh, I heard mobility at Google is trivial? I guess that’s just a myth.
Certainly you misunderstood: more people pick up C++ for production use every week than the total employed today coding Rust. That will be true next year, too. More are employed coding Ada than Rust. More code Erlang than Rust. More code Forth than Rust. Rust is not "used widely" by any defensible definition.

It still seems possible that Rust could, someday, come to be used widely, beyond the HN echo chamber, but only with serious action. Wishful thinking has always reliably failed to drive mainstream language adoption.
Committing .dll files does not violate the GPL. What would violate the GPL is distributing the compiled result.
> 8. It should be clear that universally containing an aerosol virus like COVID is impossible. What is possible is targeted containment, I.e. keeping nursing homes under more precautions.

China has done it for pre-omicron variants, so it is possible. You and I are not willing to accept the restrictions necessary to do it and that's fine, but you cannot say it is impossible.
Oh, I've replied to a reply to your message.
I think what you've wrote is closer to my own perception than the reply to your message that I have replied to.

Context - yes, it helps. Though it is hard (impossible?) to construct an encompassing enough context for complex historical events.
And it is sometimes too easy to use partial contexts to to help people to perceive events in the right way.

I did not read your comment as telling that invasion of Finland was right.
I do consider fear and paranoia existing at that time about external powers as justified.

On "Appeasement" wikipedia page you can read about perception that "fascism was a useful form of anti-communism" held by many.

And as far as I know, Soviet Union was preparing to wage a large war in Europe (just not in 1941).

Part about mental gymnastics - well, that was about what I wrote about justifications. I do not consider it right to justify invasions. Especially when I'm talking about justifications used by a country I was born in / lived almost all my life. But I felt a need to say something in defence of an opinion containing more nuance (yours).

I consider as bad a lot of things that were happening at that time (at any time in history?).

Now that I looking at the chain of the messages - it looks like I've tried to defend (in my own strange way) a comment that was trying to defend another comment =)

Two things. First, low != zero. Second, it isn’t always about taking the most pragmatic approach but the most humanitarian one.

People during this whole pandemic have been very cavalier with putting others at risk to not get inconvenienced. “Your kid probably won’t die” is not a winning argument.
the are 2 answers here. the first is that the crate is less likely than a c++ library to have this bug since stuff is safe by default. the second is that having a smaller set of unsafe stuff in your code base makes it easier to rule out your code as the problem.

Are you sure this is literally true? My understanding of the GPL is that it requires you to publish source on request. It doesn't make it an automatic violation to publish, say, a binary-only installer package.
