> “ It is stupid to take that risk now”

This is just handwaving. Where is your data to support that it’s in your own words “stupid”? This seems like an emotional feeling rather than a thesis well supported by data.

I’ve specifically stated “with antibodies to prove it”, which you conveniently ignored. This would be a much higher bar than even previous infection, and perhaps even unnecessary.

Vaccination isn’t some ritual we must perform to exorcise some mythical ghost.

It’s a medical intervention, with measurable results and risks, but also consumes a scarce resource, and therefore must be offered ONLY when appropriate.

vaccinating people who don’t even need it results in denying life-saving vaccines for people who actually DO need them. Like the entirely unvaccinated billions around the world who live on 2 dollars per day. Numerous guidelines recommend postponing vaccination after positive results by months. Mayo clinic recommends 90 days or even longer, depending on the situation at hand. Is Mayo Clinic “stupid”?

Please explain how this guideline is “stupid”: https://www.mayoclinic.org/coronavirus-covid-19/vaccine-if-a...

As you can see below, from
BMC and Lancet, reputable journals, reinfection is very infrequent in health care workers. 2-8 incidents per 100,000 people-hours. Case fatality is at 0.13%, nearly 30 times lower than non-HCW, and I believe a lot of these have been primary infections too.

Do you have any numbers to provide support your thesis that it’s “stupid” at all? You’d only have to prove that infection controls and previous exposure is a less effective intervention than a vaccine, specifically in HCW setting, and that its so ineffective it supports denying vaccine supply to those at 30 TIMES MORE RISK.

In essence your statement reads: 1) “hospitals can’t control infectious agents”, 2) “we should NOT prioritize those 30x at risk and too poor to afford it”, 3) “HCW are too “stupid” (in your own words” to assess risks of infection controls they themselves institute and operate; and risks of the disease they themselves see every day”

Seems like big claims to me.

Looking forward to your data to support your thesis.

Actual data:
Reinfection rate in HCW: “2.5 reinfections per 100,000 person-days)”

https://bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s128...

“The incidence density was 7·6 reinfections per 100 000 person-days in the positive cohort, compared with 57·3 primary infections per 100 000 person-days in the negative cohort, between June, 2020, and January, 2021. The adjusted IRR was 0·159 for all reinfections (95% CI 0·13–0·19) compared with PCR-confirmed primary infections. The median interval between primary infection and reinfection was more than 200 days.”

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

“case fatality (0.13% versus 2.77%, p<0.001) were significantly lower in HCWPs compared with non-HCWPs.”

One thing the App Store does is automatically verify the sandbox rules are valid. If they aren’t the app is auto rejected.

How do you think the kernel knows what an application is allowed to do? Seriously, I want you to think of a way that the kernel of any platform could know what facilities an app should have access to.

Because it's adversarial. Your choice to use one OS makes it more difficult, in a tiny way, for me to use a different OS. You will write software for that OS. You will convince others to use that OS. You will tell your boss to get computers with that OS installed, and then other people at your job will have to deal with it. And every developer on that OS is one that isn't using, writing software, fixing problems etc on my OS. It's political. It's zero-sum. And Microsoft knows that all too well, and that is precisely the reason why WSL exists.
The concern I have isn't about optimisations that are impossible but optimisations which are judged unwise and so either disabled by default or not implemented at all.

Maybe reinterpret_cast on StandardLayout with the correct alignment really does express exactly what we want here, I'm not sure. If so you're correct there wouldn't be a difference because a valid optimisation will always be exactly what everybody wanted. But if there are any other uses of these techniques the optimiser has to be pessimistic. That's why I prefer to be as explicit as possible.

This is how so many extra types of cast came into existence in C++ in the first place right, the recognition that casting could have different intents.
Thank you so much for the info! Have a great day
If it's truly a "death spiral" aren't they all going to die anyway? The off chance that one breaks the loop and finds it back to the colony seems better than just infinitely going in a loop. But I'm no ant entomologist haha
Then the judge should have forced the company to open its purse. For example, all of the executives’ pay is diverted to the nurses they want until they hire new people.

Executives get a heads you win, tails you lose situation for no reason. It was their job to make sure the place is offering sufficient compensation to stay staffed, and if they failed, they need to pay for the damages.
Maybe pre-nup has a different meaning where you live. I'm in the US, and here a pre-nup is an agreement that defines custom rules for a marriage and divorce that are override, add to, and/or clarify the rules of the default marital contract. So, not everyone has one.

Wikipedia defines it well:

> Couples enter into a written prenuptial agreement to supersede many of the default marital laws that would otherwise apply in the event of divorce, such as the laws that govern the division of property, retirement benefits, savings, and the right to seek alimony (spousal support) with agreed-upon terms that provide certainty and clarify their marital rights.

Also with minimal c++ you can fix almost all the issues with C and people in embedded who are new overlook it all the time for fancier things like rust/zig/whatever which would force a complete thought process change. Luckily I've been coding away with C++ as a better C for decades in embedded projects. It does require some knowledge of what's going on underneath classes, inheritance, basic templates, etc., but it's all very doable. I generally avoid RTTI and exceptions for example.

Doubt it. Scientists are not afraid of making mistakes, that happens all the time. They are afraid of losing funding and the fastest way in 2022 to lose funding is to suggest something outside the political and social acceptability narrative.
40% of first marriages end in divorce on a quick google. 60% of second marriages and 70% of third marriages.

Edit: not clear if a once-wed person marrying a newbie counts as a first or second though. I’d imagine that could be significant.

Thanks for the reply! I really appreciate your feedback on this.
I wasn't giving much thought about coding style and naming etc. when I worked on this, just wanted to get it running asap. I'll definitely take a better look at your suggestion (I'm not very familiar with perl) and see if I find any time to improve this thing. cheers.
> Uh, except the stuff you shove on your toothbrush?

Fluoride is an exception, only in small quantities, and only topically (lots of salts are toxic, and so are concentrated solutions).

By and large fluorine chemistry is a giant pile of nope, so staying away from it is an excellent rule and quite far from a “super, super, non-convex”.
Beat advice I've heard regarding opinions: "you are on average most likely to be wrong. Therefore try to understand how and why you are wrong".
It's a challenging book and really pushes abstract thinking on a level rarely encountered.

Yes, it's an introductory text in some sense because it introduces you to a dizzying array of subjects in computing, but imo, it's not the equivalent of a typical introductory course in Chemistry or something. It's hard, especially if the things it goes over are new to you, and I think few people would think failing to grok it the first time around implies anything about your suitability as an engineer.
They can minimally track you - the only technical restrictions apple can do is block device I’d, etc.

The App Store policies ostensibly also prohibit an app from tracking a user via any other means once that user has said no to tracking.
Shipping kills the deal, especially with used stuff that isn't worth much. An old workstation may cost $50 but the shipping is another $50 on top when you buy it on Ebay. At the same time, people are throwing out record amounts of ewaste that is higher-end than the gear I currently have on my desk. Really wish there was a local market here similar to those Asian ones.
Isn't it well within a creator's rights if they want to remove their video from youtube?

It wouldn't be hard. The semantics are straightforward and don't interfere with the way a C compiler already works.

There is an incentive against doing it. No researcher wants the embarrassment of having an error that they didn't know about discovered. Journals don't fancy the embarrassment or hassle either. It would serve broader scientific progress, but that's not who is deciding to hide the data.

> I think the ever expanding wavefront of "specialization" in roles like DBAs is a sign that MySQL and PostgreSQL are a bad trade for society.

That’s a sign of a maturing field. Does the proliferation of medical specialties indicate a problem? I would argue that it simply arises from the amount of specialized knowledge that one can possess and utilize efficiently.

The existence of SQL implementations allows for faster and more maintainable implementations. The set of engineers who could do what SQL allows without it is quite small. If SQL disappeared tomorrow, a thousand equivalent implementations would appear tomorrow because it delivers real value. Hand rolling queries in a general purpose programming language is a very poorly trade off. I’ve seen this sort of stuff before. It’s always a bug farm and every other engineer asks “why the hell didn’t you use SQL”?

Give it enough time and you’ll see “Redis expert” show up as a specialty.
From my perspective, in a perfect world, culture would be more important than salary... but it is much easier to lie about the culture at the interview, and also much easier to change the culture later. The information about salary is more reliable.

For that, they would have needed a control group that took placebo pills. They can estimate the likely behavior of such a group from other trials, but it's not a rigorous experiment unless they do it themselves, carefully controlling all the other possible variables.

Several people in this thread stating they are working on solutions to assist others learning modern cloud/devops stacks. I’ll throw my name in the hat too. I have a single node home lab running enterprise cloud/devops software stack. I have been working on a project to deploy on-prem cloud (OpenStack) in disconnected environment. I’ve had to learn how to build and host all of the infrastructure required to do this without the luxury of internet access. I realized the same thing can be simulated very cheap in a modern computer with enough cores and memory to run the stack as a single bare metal host. My build cost $1300 2 years ago but the knowledge gained has paid me back 5 figures worth of raises in my career in 16 months.

Having my own personal CloudBox has allowed me to experiment and fail fast. I am ahead in experience and knowledge than the rest of my team as a result. I have a tool they do not. I realize it would be better if we all had a tool like this.

So that’s the pitch, a single node “cloud in a box’, the CloudBox for IT students or professionals to learn any aspect of IT.

Now I just need lots more time to actually turn my prototype into a product.
So if they come tomorrow and say now in order to keep using your @gmail.com account you now have to pay $100 a month, that would be ok for you?

Of course they can do that too. But this is clearly screwing up people, as it is not easy to change a lifetime email address.

If they say I cannot store my photos anymore, that's fine. I can move them. Changing an email address is not an easy thing to do. Or losing all your Google play purchases.

But yeah, at the end of the day nobody is forced to do anything for free (despite nothing google offers being free, as they sell ads with my data) but this shows just how you cannot trust anything from Google.

Personally my solution to this will be to pay for iCloud and move everything over there. I had planned moving to iPhone for privacy reasons anyway, so this is just another nail on the coffin for using any Google service ever again.
I love the attention to detail regarding a culture of fair discussion.

You can create Ingress resources on OpenShift and it will automatically create routes for you.
You can customise the generated Route by using annotations on the Ingress resource.

This has worked well for us because not all helm charts are OpenShift friendly but they usually do allow customising the ingress resource with annotations or we patch it in via Kustomize.

In Poland there is anew term called pato-developer, from patological developer. Patologia is a common derrogative for something not good.

The pato-developer thing comes from the fact that many of these new apartment complexes often make huge compromises on quality or amenities. A common complaint is very thin walls or apartments with windows facing a few meters from neighbors. Search in youtube for pato developer and you will see some really comical videos.

It is very not ideal, but even so it provides a huge pressure relief on housing demand and kind of allows young people the ability to afford something to start a family. Real estate is even so often used as an investment but I think with the current interest rate hikes the crazy valuations on the main cities will come down.
Guessing / hoping they meant the chemists would be responsible for determining / ordering PPE suiting what they’re working on, not that they’re supposed to pay for it out of pocket.

Determining local variable lifetimes is a fundamental feature of a compiler. Literally any compiler that does register allocation can and will merge local variables that aren't simultaneously live. Because it turns out that the problem of fitting lots of variables into minimum registers is remarkably similar to the problem of fitting lots of variables into minimum registers + minimum stack space.

So yes, you can confidently rely on gcc or clang to merge local variables, even at -O1. If they suddenly don't do that after an update, it's a serious regression, and their mailing lists should be more than happy to receive that bug report.

You should explore what you're excited about. Could it be self driving cars, robotics, logistics, health care tech? Do you think space travel is epic? The benefit of being a SWE is that you're needed in every industry. While I certainly fall prey to this emotion from time to time, there is good reason to be optimistic in our choice of vocation.

Another one of my silly retro computing projects: https://github.com/teknoman117/m68k-fpga-bridge. I wanted to try and make an MMU for it, hence the 68010 specifically (which added some additional data to the bus error exception to allow restarting the failed instruction).

I also managed to get someone on utsource to sell me a tray of 386EX33s for like $2 a pop so eventually I can make some 386 systems. I managed to track down a few of the old IIT 3C87 FPUs that had the hardware matrix by vector multiply so I'm going to try to make some 3D renderer if I ever get around to putting it together.

That's why I got a mortgage.

The bank offered a surprisingly low rate, and I looked at my FIRE research and thought, "Eh I can probably beat that in the market" and so the money that would have been frozen in the house (if I had bought in cash) is growing in index funds, hopefully faster than the mortgage is consuming it.

It's fucking weird. I think all these are true at once:

- Renting is not inherently bad

- A force is slanting the market away from "rent" and towards "buy"

- Too many people have an emotional stake in home ownership as its own end, and they would be better off seeing it as a tradeoff made coldly.

- Because the market has been slanted so badly for so long, these people are correct, but for the wrong reasons. They'll say that renting is throwing money away, because you don't get equity, but they won't say that equity is also throwing money away because of opportunity cost. They have never lived in a market where renting was actually allowed to compete with buying.

- Part of the reason buying is favorable might simply be that it's a proxy for credit score and wealth, and anyone making a loan would give a cheaper rate to a wealthier person. Since renters tend to have less money, they have to pay more in case they default. It's not fair, but I don't expect markets to be fair.

I think it's all an extended effect of the "White Flight". Having forgotten its racist roots, it's still got a strong emotional core of "Cities are full of crime and poor people. Renting is for poor people who are too dumb to save their money, and so they have it chipped away by rent." Or a leftist would say "Rent is inherently exploitative because landlords make money doing nothing."

It's a weird horseshoe when my far-right Baby Boomer parents agree with 2020 Twitter communists that home ownership is its own end, whereas I only see it as a means to an end.

The only time I rented an apartment, it was a fabulous experience. The only flaw was that it cost too much per square foot. And the ambient noise was high, because it was closer to the city core. Other than that, I really miss my old apartment.

It depends on what you mean by 51% of the time. If you’re just making a directional prediction, “will the next market day be up or down?”, that’s nowhere near enough.

A little over 53% of days are up (green) days and yet you can’t use that 3x edge over a 51% predictor to make all the money.
The thing is that functionally speaking, the flat Earth movement isn't about proving whether the Earth is round or flat. It's about camaraderie in the quest for the hidden knowledge that "they" don't want you to have.
Why are you continuing to misrepresent the EUA documents? They don’t support your assertion. (If you point to where in the authorization docs they specify the goal is to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection, I’ll change my mind.

Also VAERS is not the only data source we have for vaccine safety, it’s our hypothesis generation system. We have good data from the vaccine safety datalink system that let us actually quantify the risk of different side effects. https://doi.org/10.1001/jama.2021.15072
