Were there a lot more undetected airline fires in the 70s and 80s due to this? I haven't heard of that before so it's interesting to hear about it in the sense of safety and not health.
I don’t understand where you are getting those numbers.
Yes we are almost there, lets get native Linux gaming going! Go steam deck! One day ...
Terrible advice. Most western countries would treat what you mentioned as a "common-law relationship", which entitles the partners to the same rights as a marriage. Check you local legislation. In Canada if you live with someone for more than 2 years, it's equivalent to a marriage in almost every case.
Ireland has a younger population (age structure) compared to all other EU states.
Vaccination priority was strictly based on age (oldest first). This decision is no suitable template for other countries with different age structure and vaccination status. Especially no template for US.

Next, consider Ireland is practically Dublin as capitol and single large city, and a more rural less dense populated rest of the country. Again, no template or match to other countries. It might work for Ireland.
amazing! ty
Haha, I was quoting the article, the words are not mine.

> Many (I suspect most)epidemiologists are saying there's no stopping Omicron.

Which doesn’t mean we all have to get it at the same time.

I’m so tired of these false dichotomies. There’s a lot of middle ground between full lockdown and completely giving up so everyone gets it at the same time. We’re already running out of ICU beds and emergency treatments like monoclonal antibodies where I’m at.

Yet the prevailing logic seems to be that because masks and distancing aren’t perfectly effective that we should just give up and go full-on into infections for everybody.
These people also die from the flu and common cold. We cannot stop the world for them.
Thank you.

I got to 411k by 245x41x41 (figures in GP). Yes that's not a cylinder but I am just doing very rough maths.

I did not think about the useful lift - so while the Hindenburg is a 100 years old, a lift of 232k kg was competing with a empty weight of 215. incredible - and thanks for the links

It still seems back of the envelope that lighter than air lift is just not generally useful
Interesting - I'd be curious when that article was written - it states Sept 2, 2021 at the top, but towards the end of the article it mentions speeds improving to 200Mbps "as of April 12". Their experience sounds quite likely for those early days, but not at all what my relatives experienced (they got theirs in late August 2021). I think their dish placement is also poor - the app basically showed my relatives that the roof was the only place with good enough sight of the sky (they have similar amounts of trees to what's in videos on that article)

It’s definitely strange that there’s such a disparity, and I assume it’s because there are differences in what is considered a “Covid death” in the US vs elsewhere.
To anyone confused about these reopenings, particularly in the US, it's actually pretty easy to understand:

1. Governments have decided that by now if you're not vaccinated it's by choice (which it is, barring actual medical conditions) it's by choice and the governments (as well as many people) have stopped caring;

2. The CDC's recent self-isolation has shown that given (1), the government cares more about keeping the economy going or has decided everyone is going to get Omicron anyway or both; and

3. The government has decided (and probably modeled) that hospitals might strain under the load but won't collapse as was a much bigger risk 1-2 years ago.

The statistics are pretty stark on this. In the US 2000+ people still die of Covid every day, 90-95% of those are unvaccinated and it feels like the government and people in general have lost patience with people who at this point are simply choosing to die.
I'm not saying that RYF is entirely useless, just that "new version requires firmware blobs, old one didn't" is a clearer and stronger statement than mentioning RYF IMHO.
Exactly, it was logistically impossible and the Soviet Union was aware of this. That's part of my point.
Canada has 3+ years higher life expectancy than the US, that implies better overall health. Also lower obesity rates (29.4% vs 36.2%). Source: https://www.indexmundi.com/factbook/compare/canada.united-st...
That is a good point, but I would like to know hospital length of stay for unvaccinated vs vaccinated, as a proxy for how many resources / man hours of hospital staff they are taking up. A single unvaccinated ICU patient could be taking 10x the resources is a non ICU patient.

The data on page 7 also shows hospitalization is overwhelmingly for populations aged 60+ and up. Which is unfortunate, but I think people, parents especially, are having to decide between tradeoffs of prioritizing elderly versus benefits kids get from ending restrictions.
> You're an adult, we don't want to decide for you how you work best.

I wish more people thought this way.
In order for that to be true, unvaccinated people should not be hospitalized.
People have different situations. I'm severely immunocomprimised - while I get and understand that the world can't remain locked down indefinitely for a small segment of the population, I'm absolutely going to advocate for my own survival, and that doesn't make me "crazy" or that I need "deprogramming". It's not irrational to not want widespread transmission of a virus that has a 20% CFR for people like me.
Of course, nothing can have infinite range in an infinite Universe, because the infinite sum of gravitation fields of an infinite number of objects can create infinite force at any point of the Universe.

That's because the chances of serious illness with Covid in under 5s is extremely small. Here in the UK nobody under 12 has been vaccinated except those who are extremely vulnerable. The data for England[0] puts the death rate within 28 days of a positive test in the 0-4 age group at 0.8 per 100,000. I believe there are around 3 million children in that age group in the UK so that works out as 24 deaths in that age group in the UK throughout the entire pandemic. Obviously that's a tragic number and awful for the affected families, but at the same time you have to put the risk to your children in perspective for your own sanity.

My kids are 2 and 5 - they've both had Covid at least once, possibly twice and it was indistinguishable from all the other colds they've had since the pandemic hit.

I suspect you're in the majority of shoppers, but the minority when weighted by dollars spent, which is OP's chief concern.
Since this is about array indexing, if you do slice.iter.for_each() instead of for-in, while-let or manual indexing then it already uses unchecked access under the hood today because internal iteration can use a counted loop and knows it doesn't need those bounds checks.
Slowly all countries will drop all COVID restrictions. Sadly it will be very slowly and our young ones will continue suffering :(
For the most part we did stumble our way to this point, but nobody could predict the outcome.

After two years and now 4 shots being discussed it’s clearly apparent:1) people will still get infected, 2) despite the lower risk of death with vaccines, plenty will still die, 3) we can’t keep borrowing money and giving to people when we shutdown their businesses.

And I feel like the protests in Australia, Canada, US, Europe are making it pretty clear people aren’t willing to make major sacrifices for another year, or two or three.

Far smarter to pretend this was the plan all along then watch people blatantly disregard your rules.
I think if you don't specifically train for competitive programming, an average LC hard is going to take you many days, assuming you solve it at all. A lot of them depend on knowledge of algorithms that most people will literally never use for anything professionally, ever.

As much as we like to talk about algorithms, it's pretty rare that anything more interesting than DP comes up at work unless you are doing optimization research or work in a niche domain like bioinformatics.

Interviewing someone with an LC hard is a colossal waste of time unless the position you are filling is like "senior staff swe: performance and optimization"
A text file only contains data that represents characters on the screen, while “binary file” is used to refer to any other file that isn’t meant to be viewed or edited as text.

The unfortunate reality for some of these languages is that the ecosystem moves so fast seeing no git activity for more than a few months is a red flag to find another library.

JavaScript is obviously the elephant in the room here.

I usually guard myself against this by implementing more niche features myself rather than importing them through third party libraries that might get abandoned.
But they also would've had better mask compliance and vaccination rates, less obesity, and as a country they're more sparse.
It's time to bring back the old practices of crop rotation and use of the chain of life in a healthy ecosystem to manage overgrowth of pest crops. In the old times, farmers depended on birds, insects and rodents to control pests Humanity took tens of thousands of years to perfect agriculture. It's taken humanity in the modern chemical-dependent age less than a hundred years of monoculture to push it to the brink of collapse.

Granted, yields will be lower. But instead of growing seed corn and soy beans, farmers need to diversify and bring back species that are unique to their regions- that were carefully selected and bred to grow best in that area. Did you know one in the early 20th century, one of the greatest exporters of apples was the state of Iowa? Not now.
I think the additional zeroes, letters and crosses work heavily against visual intuition. In a single line of monospaced text, their disproportionate size breaks continuity and you're forced to reconstruct the actual shape in your head.

Inserting bracketed numbers throws the whole sparkline concept out the window.

If terminal output is the use case here, why not use color when available? Zero crossings could be highlighted in blue, and out-of-bound clipping could be shown in red. Long sequences of zeroes could just be represented with a red line, or even empty space:

As for array index checking, Julia gets it right. It uses a pair of macros (@boundscheck and @inbounds), which empowers the user elide bounds checking. Moreover, it is extensible to beyond just arrays. I’ve used these macros in my own hand-rolled implementation of a ring buffer.
> The #1 problem with C is buffer overflows.

There is also the null hypothesis that buffer overflows are simply a category of bugs that is simply easy to identify, and thus, apparently prevalent.
In the U.S. (for the better or not) there are economic mechanisms that help making that the case...
> [2] I will point out that, for arithmetic overflow, this semantics is usually wrong. There are very few times where you want <large positive number> + <large positive number> = <negative number>, and so you're mostly just swapping out an unpredictably wrong program for a predictably wrong program, which isn't really any better. However, the most common time you do want the wrapping semantics is when you want to check if the overflow happened, and this is where C's lack of any overflow-checked arithmetic option is really, really painful.

Being _predictably_ wrong is actually much better than being _unpredictably_ wrong, in that case, it's not UB(unpredictably) anymore is it?

If the semantics are exactly what you saying you could just convert the predictable wrong value to a correct one and you have overflow checking.

If you look at the UK which was probably hit earlier by Omicron, hospitalisations are nowhere all time high and decreasing [1] despite covid cases having blown up previous records [2].

The high risk of serious sequelae, even in mild cases in young vaccinated people, make me think this may not be the best way forward.
My impression is that this has a lot to do with habits and acquired/unlearned tastes.

For example, I’ve grown to like extremely sour alcohol-free cocktails so much that I now prefer them over alcoholic drinks.
It’s not so simple. I get internet points for my comment, even if it is nearly the same as someone else. Furthermore, the “first” comment chronologically is not necessarily sorted first. Indeed, older comments are sorted below. It’s actually later comments which are more near the top when others read threads, thus they get more exposure and upvotes and stay up top.

In any case, I see no harm in any of this. Bits are cheap.
>US hospitalizations are at an all time high, 2000 people are still dying every day, and it feels like everybody is just okay with that now. What happened?

Imo the only thing that really matters is the hospitalization rate of the vaccinated. If it's near bad flu numbers, then there's no more concern
Note that per some comments and modifications to older questions, the standard has actually moved to the sane world and no longer allows this "optimization" [1][2]. So std::launder is no longer required for this purpose - just the other ones.

The knowledge and professionalism and price sensitivity of the farmer dwarfs that of thr average home owner. How many nights of sleep does the average home owner lose each year obsessing over the amount of fertilizer and cost of that fertilizer? Meanwhile that actually happens to most farmers. They obsess and endlessly talk about how to cut their fertilizer and pesticides to the bare minimum they think they can handle so they can maybe own their farms for the next generation. You think they're throwing away product by over applying fertilizer? These guys walk their fields once a week and some once a day. They notice things like soil and fertilizer runoff.
Here is "How Ukrainians Created the Worlds First Off Road Bus" official post by Torsus Off Road Bus, posted after being interviewed[0,1] by "European Pravda" in August 2018:

> The EP (European Pravda -ed.) learned Ukrainians managed to create the world’s first off road bus, within a year, and why they want to buy it in the US, Australia, Canada, Bangladesh, Georgia and New Zealand.[1]

> In parallel, the company is in talks with representatives of car factories in the US, Turkey and Ukraine, on the launch of large scale production. Requests for a bus have already arrived from the US, Australia, Canada, Georgia, Bangladesh and New Zealand.

I don't think it is particularly inevitable. My youngest got it - was picked up on a lateral flow test on Christmas Eve, we had spent the day mucking about and gaming together, wrapping presents etc. None of the rest of the family tested positive to my surprise. Yes, she did isolate in her room over Christmas, poor kid.
Hmmm... I understand.

I mentioned ryf certification because Tallos II and Talos II Lite are the only ryf-certified modern systems available. Also, I bet FSF is very strict when certifying systems so we don't have to rely on the word of the vendor only.
This is identical to saying "I'm just pissing in my corner of the pool" or "I'm just polluting my own land".

Unless you are staying home and getting food delivered?
I don't think you're crazy or alone in thinking that way. As I said on my other comment, not only overall deaths but the frequent serious sequelae are concerning.
> Though it is hard to do similar mental gymnastics with relation to invasion of Finland.

Well, again context helps (like you showed in the other parts of your comment). Note my comment does not imply the Soviet Union was right in waging war against Finland:

From Wikipedia's article on the Winter War:

> "Joseph Stalin regarded it a disappointment that the Soviet Union could not halt the Finnish revolution. He thought that the pro-Finland movement in Karelia posed a direct threat to Leningrad and that the area and defences of Finland could be used to invade the Soviet Union or restrict fleet movements. During Stalin's rule, Soviet propaganda painted Finland's leadership as a "vicious and reactionary fascist clique"

Again, Stalin's fear and paranoia about other powers invading its territory, which in turn mandated creating buffer or safe zones around the Soviet Union. It's not outlandish, given the USSR's many actual enemies and their history of interference within Russian.

His fears partially proved true (with some degree of self-fulfilling prophecy) when Finland played a (limited) role in assisting the Germans with Barbarossa and the Siege of Leningrad.
Sure but if you need to get hospitalized due to Covid it's absurd that the rest of us need to bear that financial burden via increased insurance prices or increased taxes

Parents may be choosing to value the benefits of the child playing with other children more than the tail risk of a viral infection.

I am not saying one is right or wrong, but I think it is valid to look at all the other viral infections kids are exposed to and cannot be vaccinated against, and realize they just have to roll the dice. In the past 4 years, my kids have had RSV, a noro or rotavirus, probably Covid at least once, and a numerous other viruses.

RSV/noro were the worst, but if they are going to play with other kids, it is all but guaranteed they will have something. I am actually most afraid of noro/rota viruses, far more than Covid. That thing tore through the entire daycare and shutdown multiple classes within 2 days, and the cleanup from all the vomit was crazy.

WSL is so much extra work to maintain. I absolutely love running Ubuntu LTS as my daily OS. I use Wine to run Photoshop CC 2018 and Illustrator CC 2019, Nvidia drivers work excellently on Linux these days, and all my development tools just work. I dread the day I have to depend on anything else.
When I got married the prenup was just a checkbox (yes/no) on the application form. I ticked yes of course, because I don't know anyone in Europe who in their sound mind would want to lose half of what they have (or more?) during a divorce. It's an archaic system leftover from a time when women did not work and so it served as a lifeline for them, but that isn't the case anymore, at least not in Europe as far as I've observed. And so while yes I am aware that most marriages will fail, and mine might just be one of them, I'm not afraid for the divorce process at all.

It looks nice but I would use OpenGL, ImGUI and STK instead. Specifically, I would use STK instead if JUCE (https://github.com/thestk/stk). In particular RtAudio.cpp, RtMidi.cpp, RtWvIn.cpp) and a local or remote visualizer based on ImGUI and OpenGL, since I have that code already I would only need to add a few lines to my audio app to debug visually, using shared memory (which is much faster than printf and works inside a debugger and anywhere else, on Linux, MacOS and Windows)
Maybe you live in a place where developers have the privilege of being able to pick the right employer among thousands.

It's not like that in most of the world.

In many places even senior software engineers have to choose between:

- nasty companies (advertisement, finance and trading, faangs, real estate speculation, cryptocurrencies, gambling and worse) that provide a living salary and provide a decent working environment

- few ok-ish companies that can offer a low salary, very unremarkable conditions and stability

- start your company or consultancy and make 0 money

- regret working in software and open a grocery store

- be unemployed
Of course I can't comment on your particular situation nor do I wish you bad luck, but religious couples are as likely or more likely to get divorced compared to non-religious couples [0].

Or at least the majority of divorces in the US are among the religious (according to this particular poll).

Maybe "biased" because marriage is something more encouraged by religions in the first place.
