You are assuming car companies always run their assembly lines at maximum capacity regardless of demand and you are wrong. Companies absolutely cut production regularly and have forever, not just in extraordinary circumstances.

An example from 2017, long before pandemic complications:

LOL, just what lesson do you think that would be? I'm happy that Omicron is getting some immunity into the selfish idiots of the anti-vax crowd.
Very true, but you also don't need romance to propogate the human species either - a good old fashioned fuck will do the trick, romance optional!
So why didn't you use your time better and invest in other skills you want to have?
Yes, even for Omicron. Vaccinated people are far less likely to have severe cases at every age group — not being boosted means you’re less likely to avoid a case altogether but the T cell response is quite effective at helping you kick it faster.

Yeah IBM is crazy with z/OS too, give out free z/OS developer images so everyone interested could play with it and maybe it sparks interest in mainframe again? NONONO pay ~500$ every year and you need a usb-dongle, and "master the mainframe" is just open for 2 month a year...it's pure stupidity.
Absolutely not. Once a user reads "Head First Java" or customizes Django sites, they get their standard issue keyboard and they're ready to start writing interrupt handlers in C. If the code crashes, it must be the language.
What COVID-19 has taught me is people really have different levels of risk tolerance. I'm realizing I am very risk prone. Omicron never scared me and I got it. It was so mild, I would have thought I was hung over if I didn't have a home test. On the other hand we had a guest visit us from SF who really hasn't left his apartment during the whole pandemic from being terrified of the virus. His personality has changed for the worst. He is much more anti-social now and it was difficult to even have a simple conversation with him. He wears a face shield and double masks. Being so risk adverse as to become a recluse has really impacted his mental health negatively probably worse than getting COVID.
You found the Achilles' heel of the project! I don't mind the fonts being different sizes or not monospaced, but the fact that there's a difference in height in the font rendering between ⎺ and ‾ on different platforms is a bummer. I have a flag in the C++ implementation so they can still be rendered "correctly" in IDEs like Xcode [1].

I felt doomed to Unicode in this case because of the number of places I wanted them to show up (CLion lldb integration, GitHub actions output, terminal). I would have loved to actually render graphics! I actually never thought about how they would render on a blog article, I wouldn't generally wouldn't use them for blogging...

>C++ is not, and was not, the only OOP language

No, but it was the only one that mattered at the time, as far as adoption was concerned, and regarding marketing Java as similar to existing programmers and their managers...

That's also how it was hyped at the time and the kind of people it was sold too (I was -barely- there).
Move fast, bug things.
I went from moderate (weekends, social, never alone) drinking to _zero_ drinking for about five years. This was during peak "social" life of after university and before marriage.

I did the exact same things I used to do except with no alcohol: bars, clubs, parties, whatever.

The toughest thing was realizing how...boring...some of these activities can be. There is, by default, an enormous amount of "down time" at a bar or club or young person's party; down time that people tend to fill by going to the bar for a drink, or sipping on a cocktail, or eventually by being drunk and letting the time pass.

The second toughest thing was realizing how irritating drunk people (and yes, this includes your friends) can be when you're sober.

But I stuck with it, and after a few months I learned different strategies for enjoying a night out--usually revolving around talking to other sober people, or dancing--and my life is much better for it.

Lastly, in my experience i didn't feel the full mental benefits of no alcohol until after about four or six months without a drop.
Try marijuana edibles. You don't have to smoke marijuana. It's plenty potent in edible form.
You might be right, but we’re erring on the side of caution. There are many things we can’t control so we’re focusing on the things we can.
Is it? I get it's not sweet corn (ie. corn on the cob or canned/frozen corn), but it should still be starchy and edible (think tortilla corn).
Do you suppose that people who live in war zones are forbidden from making jokes about bombs?

I get what you’re going for and have already stated elsewhere that I think rape jokes are tasteless. But your criteria doesn’t make much sense. Good for you for wanting to be sensitive to others. But if you’re going to be sensitive to others, maybe ask why your care doesn’t extend to victims in general and somehow only applies to this one word.
Ah, those were the days. There is a long list of dmesg outputs from linux on many old systems, while not as old as the 486, there is an AMD K6/2... and sparcs!

Have you considered that 99%+ of cases are mild or asymptomatic and that this reasoning amounts to confirmation bias? Especially with Omicron? Moreso in healthy people under 50 who are orders of magnitude less likely to suffer severe illness or complications.

The fact that you had mild symptoms, or any sort of symptoms for that matter, while vaccinated does not actually imply that you would have been substantially worse off without the vaccine, given the statistical likelihood of mild infection.

This isn't the damn plague and it's high time we stopped acting like it was.
> Have you considered that you may have had more mild Omicron due to being vaccinated?

Yes, maybe. I think that there is no good data that supports that for people under 70 without co-morbidities.

> However, the point has also been made that being vaccinated helps prevent more serious illness[1] which in turn can help prevent hospitals from collapsing under the weight of the severely ill.

Recently I found out that in my country at the peak of the most deadly wave only 5% of patients in hospitals were admitted because of Covid.

It does not prevent transmission, it does not stop hospitals from being overfilled and it does not stop symptomatic disease. What is a good science-based reason for mandatory vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 for everyone?
Yeah I was thinking echo chambers. I think its good to have an intellectually focused, but open discourse like HN. You get to read from the top minds, they get to read you and sometimes we meet in the middle!
...And the problem is, what exactly?
I remember zombocom from back in the day. This was a meme before memes were cool.

Fun fact: one of the first websites I made as a kid, in 2001, hosted in Geocities, is still around but I'm embarrassed to share it.

Edit: maybe not so fun for people other than me and my friends from that time
The vaccines application states it will prevent transmissions, not lesson the symptoms

Did you get this from an official source? I mean, no-one should have stated this because it is simply not true, nor has been for most common vaccins out there. At least in my country none of the official sources nor epidemiologists nor virologists ever said this. They'd only go as close as stating 'can prevent transmission in xx% of cases' or something like that.
Either I'm going mad - in which case please set me straight - or the Rust example doesn't even compile: had to remove the odd-looking borrows on the method calls, and replace the type annotation in the final 'if let' with a turbofish on the call.
And you have people making 6x less than you working at different jobs than yours. These kinds of complaints really lack perspective imo. Getting paid less at work is the same as over paying when buying something. Would you call it cringey if someone doesn't want to pay 30% more than all their neighbors for their house? They can "probably" afford it, can't they? Just be happy you have a house at all, right? What's a few dollars anyway?
Perhaps it's not useful to point out the obvious that discriminatory practices can be tightly coupled with economic practices. Explaining it away as "well they're just catering to a certain demographic" doesn't negate the fact that it's literal discrimination, especially when it's obfuscated to the extent that actual journalism has to bring it to light.
How deaths are counted really does matter. If we aren't accounting for the fact that many people are incidentally tested for Covid prior to their death of something else then that is going to be difficult to interpret in the middle of the Omicron wave.
Workplace is definitely better than Google chat in my experience.

Automatic flaky test detection works like a charm and I miss it every day.

However, the organizational culture… I agree with a lot of what he noted about reorgs and that it feels like walking through molasses trying to get anything done quickly.

>>You probably won't have a hard time getting an ℞ for Xanax from your primary care doc for 30 pills or so, particularly if you intend to substitute it for alcohol.

Not in the United States. Try getting a script for Xanax and you'll be lucky you don't get reported the DEA re: our opioid crisis.

I'm a very big fan of good alcohol-free beer. There are some good ones, here in Europe at least. 7% of the beer sold in the Netherlands is alcohol-free based on recent reports last year. The cheap stuff in the states tastes silly, but if you can find a good brewery that makes it, I recommend as an alternative.
To me, it's like student loans - giving those "permanent vows" when you are 18 is like making an 18 year old sign up for $50,000 of debt to start a career with no future guarantee.
Taking a sauna makes me so relaxed that alcohol is really unappealing for hours after the sauna.
I am pretty confident it broke for me between 12.04 and 14.04 Ubuntu releases, and I am pretty sure both were already in the 2.x series.

Most likely the change in NameVirtualHost behaviour as listed at https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html, but there are a bunch of other changes too.
I kind of resent being lumped in with a politically motivated, black-and-white, feign ignorance kind of crowd. I try to assess the data as it arises, and the data about Omicron is markedly different than previous variants. I don't think I said anything in my comment that deserves this attack.

If anything, attacking anything that hints of "maybe we should reassess given current data" as being the same as the antimask/antivax rhetoric of the last two years is itself exactly what you are criticising.
My point is that they're already paying $50/month for 6Mbps DSL if they have any network connection at all.

Paying $100/month instead for 100Mbps satellite link is $50/month increase in cost and a 12x increase in performance.

The anecdote that I'm addressing isn't the children on a 70,000 acre vacation ranch (that likely can afford $100/month) but rather rural America.

Yes, ISPs and telecommunications needs to improve the network resources when you get more than 20 miles away from a city and suburbia. It will likely cost in the range of $100/month to get that when it is available.

Starlink meets that need now.
Vaccines wont give you imminity for spreading virus. Inform yourself, please.
I was never able to give up alcohol completely, but reduced the amount and frequency of drinking.

I drink coffee but can't drink six of them in a row without risking a heart attack, while a sixpack of beers gives me only a mild headache next day.

Tried smoking, really tried to catch the habit but they don't do nothing for me. Feel nauseated, also at some point I smoked a packet (20 cigarettes) in a row - never felt so sick in my life. At least with alcohol you throw up and feel better but when stuff's in your lungs what can you do?

Maybe if it were legal here as in Canada or California, I'd try weed. But it's not so I'm stuck with alcohol on occasion.
These are both good points!
A lot of the answers here thoroughly confuse me. It seems like a completely false premise that alcohol is required to (1) have fun (2) let loose (3) remove inhibitions. Consume a minor amount of alcohol/sugar/drugs if you want to, sure they are damaging, but stress is damaging too, and even oxygen is carcinogenic if you use too much. But do not believe people that tell you that you need an externally delivered chemical to have a normal de-stressing night, whether it is night-club-filled or board-games-filled.
Not everyone who drinks does stupid things or gets hangovers. (I can't remember experincing either very much over the last 10 years. When I was younger maybe.)

And that only changes when the ones with strength in numbers - us - realize that if we all do the right thing and protest bogus DMCA takedowns, the ones with money can't win.

I received a "you are violating our patent" letter once, in the US mail, with an offer to grant me a license if I paid them and a threat if I didn't. It was pretty scary, but sometimes you have to grow a pair and do the right thing. I wrote them back, told them they were full of shit, and never heard another thing about it.
In ~2006 I was gifted a 486 desktop by my neighbour, it was a Mitac 486 running Windows 3.1 and DOS. It came with a matching VGA monitor. It had a floppy drive, 160MB hard disk and DIN keyboard. The mouse was fitted to a serial port. There was no sound card; sound was achieved by a driver that somehow bunged PCM through the PC speaker.

Unfortunately it didn't survive a household clear out 3 years later, and that fills me with regret. Maybe I could've been trying my own projects on it now. I always liked the relative simplicity of the OS and hardware.
Also, the drunk high and Xanax high are not compatible. If you can't enjoy being sober around drunk people, you won't enjoy being Xanax'ed around drunk people.
Before I had kids, lots of hobby activities and the social communities formed by those common interests.
One application where power consumption is critical is wakeword detection for voice assistants and similar devices.

The ML model involved is relatively simple and fixed-function so we can afford to put a lot of work into optimizing it (even burning it into Silicon.) The focus around that optimization is to get the power consumption really low and that can lead to rather radical things such an analog neural network.
How does it work if you defraud someone using such a a PDF contract with a pasted signature?

You just get away with it because the contract wasn’t binding so there was no fraud, right?

I bet those “non-binding” contracts are actually much more binding than you might think.
You can train your friend-circles to be non-alcoholic tolerant pretty easily (just buy non-alchoholic beverages on nights out as casually as you would an alcoholic one). That way you can still have the social interaction.

And now for a completely left-field suggestion, online games have also become way more mainstream as a social tool lately, so you might get along with doing that (and I don't mean just traditional "Gamer games" like shooters or whatever, but things like Gartic Phone or online tabletop/improv with a few friends over a voice/video call). I know a bunch of stereotypically "party people" ("what? games? that's for nerds") who have taken the pandemic to become a bit more comfortable with virtual entertainment, and they seem to be having a blast.
Ahah, bonus upvote for being straight to the point :)
It even has a "cheating or more than friends" relationship, this is very funny.
> If it is simply "lessoning" the symptoms which has not been my experience with Omicron, but not preventing transmission then the authorizations should be pulled until they can be resubmitted.

Are organizations still making policy decisions based on the specifics of the original application implications? Or from observation that it only notably reduces hospitalizations / symptom severity?

If the former is the case, that would warrant clarity, but I also have no idea what a resubmission process looks like. Is that a one week turnaround? Or is it six months with no vaccines being able to be distributed?
Subsides are never such simple handouts.

Corn and ag subsidies have as much or more to do with govt "buying" surplus and "selling" it to foreign countries as part of aid packages. And dominating the world grain market, which gives the US even more indirect control over foreign grain growing capabilities, making others reliant on the US. (Bc investing in local production is risky when the US can just flood the market.)

Separately, most corn grown for ethanol or animal feed isn't going to directly be rerouted to food supply, unless we approach a full collapse type situation (and even then, it would be more market and regulation collapse and black market emergence than due to policy changes).

But keeping those farmers in business and capable of growing table corn next season (with minimal capital investment or changes to practices required) accomplishes roughly the same thing.
I’ve had pretty good success with dev related searches on you.com. I like the idea of being able to downvote garbage sources. Who owns the company?
This is really awful advice. Guy doesn’t really have a drinking problem and just wants to cut back and your suggestion is to take BENZOS instead??? If you need something to have in your hands at parties just get some flavored water or seltzer or something!
Citation? 95% is hard to argue against if true!
>You can just reject the deal and stick to your old version, if you don't think it's worth it.

Which gets incompatible and can't run with changes to OS, plugin SDKs, and so on.

Victim here doesn't mean "they put a gun on your head".

It means they removed a specific update model and replaced with a shitty one, while doubling the prices, and fucking you over if you want to continue using the platform.
The OP said they had no issues with alcohol (not an alcoholic). Moderation is something that everyone should do anyway
The point is to encourage thought in the general population.

The moderation here is less than encouraging.
Well, it’s many years ago and memory corruption is real. I got the impression that their goal was to get adoption of (what at some point became) the JVM, or the «compile once run anywhere» vision. They envisioned many languages to coexist on the JVM, which kinda happened but maybe not as much as they thought. So they designed a language to get started, Java, and made it familiar-looking to get people om board.
I'm on the part of my career journey where I've realized you're _JUST_ exchanging time for money. They want you to work on something that gets thrown away? It paid for the mortgage, it made a car payment, it's thrown away JUST like 99.9% of the stuff I did for the first 10 years of my career.

It's GOING to happen, best not to get too caught up in it.

Going into SIEM build #8 in my life....it's just another SIEM. I take my enjoyment in the people, the compensation is adequate, it's contributing to a retirement that's getting nearer and more comfortable all the time. I try not to get too hung up on the work product.
Non-alcoholic beers have gotten quite good and are available in a wide variety of styles as well. I probably drink fewer than 1 drink a week and I find the NA beers hit the spot very nicely for drinks at home.

As for filling weekend nights, well, kids took care of that for the last decade.
Perhaps this was addressed in the video, but I wonder if that tinkerer tried LILO? It is still supported and might fare better with old hardware.
That's correct.
At some point we need to look at the real data of deaths.

In Europe, there has NEVER been A PANDEMIC for people <45yo.

All care should have focused on the elderly (early treatment, access to doctors even when positive...).
No restrictions (mask, mandatory vaccine, lockdowns..) makes sense for those aged under 45yo.
A good security engineering function as an organization goes a long way. As does security engineering having a good relationship with dev teams. It starts with developers believing in security and knowing how to transform that belief into action with appropriate change agents. There is always a lot more than audits for places with good security practices and developers who deal well with frequent audits.
I went to the source code of wordle & copied all 12000 words to an excel sheet Column A, starting from row 4.

3rd row for next 18 columns has drop down filter.

You guess any word with at least 2 vowels, if 3 better, no repeat letters. You get some grey, some yellow, some maybe green.

2nd column to 6th column on excel sheet is the Grey Letters, Not Found in Answer. In this, 2nd row, if u find any grey you type it here. The formula from row 4 downwards in this group checks if its top input cell is empty, if yes, true, if not empty, then it check if that letter exists in its row cell of column A. If exists, false (grey means no letter), otherwise true.

Column 7th to 11 are yellow. Same thing, row 2 gets input, 4th row onwards checks if this exists in Column A cell, true, otherwise false. If input cell empty, then True.

Column 12 to 16 gets green letter input. Here input goes by position, if 2nd letter is green, you type it in 2nd column of this group, which is 13th column.

Formula in 4th and next checks if input empty, true, otherwise if input exist in exact position, true, otherwise false.

17th column is empty & narrow, to create a gap.

18th column returns 0 if any false found in while row. Any false means this word is not the answer. Otherwise returns 1.

A separate one cell counts all those 1, tells me how many potential answers are. After every try/word, one can filter this last column on 1.

Hello. So I'm the dad with the Dental Wings scanner, which I purchased from Straumann about 7 years ago. I'm using their version of the Dental Wings software. Would this be the same as the software that you're referring to, or is the Straumann version different?
I am a dental technician, and I work with general dentists, so I don't take advantage of a lot of the software that's available to me. I do crowns, bridges, and implants mainly. Most of the general dentists do take impressions, and send those along, which I pour in gypsum, and scan in the scanner. I do have one dentist that I do work for that uses an intraoral scanner. For those cases I import the STL's from the Trios portal.
This is cool to be chatting with a dev.
What else can you tell me about it?
