It was more than that, pretty much everything between late 2014 and late 2018 is just... not really usable as a daily driver. Luckily they fixed the keyboard and quit stringing Intel along under the pretense that they could "make things work" by modifying ACPI tables, but I don't think I'll ever be truly comfortable using a Mac until I can drop one at waist-height and not be down $2000. Different strokes for different folks though, of course.
It's not just students being affected, but educators and those who supervise residents. There will be less and less spots available in residency programs, nursing programs, etc. due to this. That was already a problem pre-pandemic:

Compensation helps, but having to do much more work with less people increases burnout regardless of how much you're being paid.

If you wanted FASM g for arm(apple silicon) or something that might be much more achievable. FASM g was designed to be much more multiplatform.

Nah I would call this foundation of computer science.
Activity matters a lot actually. And predicting long term geological events is the difficult part. Hundreds of years, yeah, not a problem. Thousands and we start getting fuzzy. But this is why I suggested we "pass the buck" in another comment. Meaning to develop better solutions and let our science advance and take advantage of the fact that we can safely store, with modern methods, for several hundred years.

Neither of these things crush competition in any way.

Python async is co-operative multi-tasking (as opposed to per-emptive)

There is an event loop that goes through all the tasks and runs them.

The issue is the event loop can only move on to the next task when you reach an await. So if you run a lot of code (say an ML model) between awaits no other task can advance during this time.

This is why it is co-operative, it is up to a task to release the event loop, by hitting an await, so other tasks can get work done.

This is fine when you have async libs that often hit awaits at things that are IO related like say db, or http calls.

FastAPI will spawn controllers that are not defined as async functions on a thread pool but it is still a python so GIL and all that.

You should do as the sibling comment says and decouple your http from your ML and feed the ML with something like Celery. This way your server is always there to respond to things (even if just a 429) to hit a cache or whatever else.

I dug out a more accurate number, 93.6%, from the Washington dashboard. Even at 93.6%, the remaining 6.4% unvaccinated can't overwhelmingly account for hospitalizations even if they are being hospitalized at 7x the rate.

https://www.doh.wa.gov/Emergencies/COVID19/DataDashboard

edit: According to the dashboard, 59.5% of people in the hospital with covid like illness are 60+. That's vaccinated and and unvaccinated combined. We can definitively say that the hospital case load is not overwhelmingly dominated by the elderly unvaccinated.

How durable are LTO drives?

I've been thinking about moving some backups to tape because of the stated durability and good cost (~$7-$12+/tb for used LTO4 tapes+drive, depending on how much storage I get).

But if the drives don't also last 15+ years, then I think the cost could be significantly higher, especially if I'm shelling out who knows what for drives a decade after their low point on the resale market.
>and you think this is an experience unique to your viewpoint?

Can attest to that. As a flat earther, I am just so sick of the snarkiness of everyone who believes what mainstream science preaches.

We should all equally appreciate ALL differing views because no idea is more or less valid than any other idea. Evolution, creationism, alien seed planted by Xenu, they all deserve our time and attention.
Did the Romans not have paper of any sort? It seems odd that they only used animal skins for writing on.

My understanding is that while parchment (vellum in particular) was used in early printing press printings, such as the Gutenberg Bible, the use of paper was more common because it was so much cheaper, if less durable.

Banks have to report accounts with low balances after a certain number of days (45 IIRC). That reporting costs them money unless they’ve gotten it 100% automated.
I'd rather not say my age because I rather not influence any young men to follow my path. The general data is there, a life without a family is not healthy long term. Follow my path at your peril since a lot of other things have to go right to make up for the void usually filled by family. For the record I don't play video games or view much porn and if that is how I were filling the void I would have severe existential anxiety. I volunteer/mentor, play sports, run a business, and am successful professionally.

as of late last year - of the large tech companies - it seems that amazon and microsoft might be the biggest Rust (in prod) evangelists. they basically swiped all the mozilla rust devs that were laid off and made their own dedicated Rust teams. so far, this has been good for the ecosystem as they continue to contribute to the community but i know there's a lot of community members that feel uneasy about those moves. here's to hoping the worries amount to nothing :)
“Slightly inconvenienced” is a term I can assure you would be only used by someone who doesn’t have kids.

Sure, the first six months, or even a year can be discounted as an aberration in the child development process and can be compensated for. This is year 3 with no end in sight. Do you even realize how much children develop in 3 years? A 6 year old and a 9 year old have a significant difference in cognitive capabilities and if you stop the learning process, the lifetime effect can be devastating. It doesn’t matter when you’re 30 and have to sit at home, but it absolutely does when you’re a child and your brain is developing.

And based on my long career on the corporate ladder, absolutely no one cares about whether you were a pandemic baby, a child growing up in poverty or pretty much any other non visible handicap in your life. You either know stuff or you don’t.

And since you mentioned World War 2, schools didn’t stop even in WW2, At a time when people didn’t even necessarily need to go to schools to eventually lead a comfortable life.

Jokes aside, theoretical knowledge is definitely lacking. There doesn't seem much interest either - that is, until you show how they could have saved days and get more reliable results more efficiently, if only they had known there's that 50+ year old algorithm they could have used.

I learned this stuff in my school following the textbook https://introtcs.org/public/ and found that in general it was nice to put the actual "gory details" mechanics of how a TM or lambda calculus works into the background to focus on computability.
Per Wikipedia:
"The Earth and most of the planets in the Solar System, as well as the Sun and other stars, all generate magnetic fields through the motion of electrically conducting fluids."

So how does a Neutron star generate these intense and even twisted magnetic fields?

What irritates me:

1. During NS formation the electrons are pressed into the protons, creating neutrons. So there is no electric charges left.

2. A NS is so dense, that the neutrons form a closest packing of equal sphereres. There is no room for movement of any kind of "layers" inside a NS.

The advantage of this study is that the villages were randomized so it's unlikely that the control group engaged in more risky behavior than the treatment group.

This result for 50+ was right on the edge of the significance interval so proves is probably too strong of a word. It means you would expect this result to happen by chance if the experiment were repeated 20 times. It is definitely evidence for some efficacy but it is about as weak as it gets to be considered evidence from a scientific POV.

My point was just that the headlines painted a significantly different picture than was contained within the paper itself.

So in other words, the answer to your parent's question is "No, you don't have any evidence."

You are providing questions as a substitute for actual evidence. Your questions are worthy of being asked, but they are still questions.

Basically a variant of "I cannot explain ... therefore it must be Y! How could it not be Y?"

Just because people don't have adequate explanations for nurture doesn't make it an automatic "genetics". All it means is that they don't have adequate explanations. This does not make your stance any stronger or more likely to be correct.

I don't think I come across as an alien. For example, I'm very deeply involved in my local Quaker meeting, and I don't think any of that is particularly different than others. That said, I can nerd out extremely deeply into a problem, to a point where I've noticed other people's eyes glaze over. Case in point, I've become interested in memory models for GPUs, and while most people in the field would be content to leave it there, I've actually dug into the Alloy code for the formalization of the Vulkan memory model (and found some issues along the way). I'd estimate there are probably less than two dozen other people in the world who have dug that deep, and, thinking about it now, I can see a pretty direct line to what child-prodigy-me would do in a similar situation.
There are diamonds in the rough especially at university. I wouldn't consider myself as a "high-performer" but I did consistently get decent grades and I myself worked for below "merely" market-rate as we didn't have alot of big companies in my country. Now days I work at one of the most "prestigious" tech companies in the world that alot of people want to get into. So I wouldn't be jumping straight to the conclusion that all good tech talent is immediately already in the "amazing" companies as soon as they graduate.
One of the reasons is that businesses fail to understand or identify what the real risk is of having sensitive data taken. Even so, most organisations I have worked with couldn't even tell me where all of their sensitive data is, or even what they classify sensitive data as.

If we take a scenario where sensitive data is taken but there is no impact on business operations (e.g. encrypted systems & backups) it is difficult for businesses to be impacted apart from reputational damage. And realistically given the amount of cyber attacks on the news, chances are your customers will forget about it over a short period of time.

The issue with reputational damage is that we are in this "new" world of cyber security and we know its important and everyone else is being attacked (it seems). But also many people if not most people don't have security together themselves, or have any idea of how to poke a stick at it. So we're in this not so mature stage of cyber security where if a organisation has its data taken, it's more forgiving than say rampant financial fraud. Which has had decades if not centuries of global fraud incidents impacting the pockets of billions of people. As such when it comes to financial risk and penalties, there are more real scenarios in which people can do the wrong thing and it have a material impact.

It's simply a case of there not having been enough material cyber security incidents that have generally impacted people and organisations. It's got to get worse before it gets better.
Where are you getting the information for this claim? The vaccines certainly reduce your chance of catching it, and though vaccinated individuals may have similar viral loads to unvaccinated people at peak, the period of time that they're infectious is shorter.

>>>Morphology of the avatar in your head can be different to your external appearance, ie. you always had large boobs?

I wonder when the Overton window shifted and we began to accommodate insanity. I liked Dave Chapelle's take on this issue in "Sticks & Stones"[1]: if he walked around behaving as if he was ethnically and culturally Han Chinese, nobody sane anywhere in the world would take him seriously. Imagine the response if he applied for PRC Citizenship on the basis of the "morphology of the avatar in his head". It's totally okay to have A Cups. It's insane to assert "well in my head I thought I had D Cups, so just agree with me and treat me as such."

Would it not be possible to distribute a program that downloads the proprietary Nvidia driver, extracts the firmware and loads it into the running kernel?

IIRC there was a Debian installer for Sun's JDK/JRE that did precisely that.
Perhaps the next step is to create a Javascript-free editor that can be used to create Javascript-free documentation and articles.

The nice thing about Javascript-free documentation and articles is that one does not need a massive, complicated, corporate-controlled web browser with a Javascript engine in order to read them. It would also be nice to not have to use a massive, complicated, corporate-controlled web browser with a Javascript engine in order to create them.
Language success is in large parts driven by what system adopts that language.

I think Wasm is shaping up to be huge in that you can safely run, high performance code across multiple operating systems/CPU’s. Of all the languages, I think Rust has the best WASM tooling, and the 2020’s may end up being the WASM/Rust decade.

On the plus side, it's good that they finally figured out that forcing frequent password changes and forcing the usage of special characters are anti-patterns. I've been repeating this for over a decade.

Author here. TY for the feedback. It's a very quick screenshot I took in a moment of surprise at the result. Due to some ggplot/ggplotly weirdness, when combined, 2 ggplotly's keep only the title of last plot (I've updated it to display one title that explains both plots). As for tableau (and a few others) not being programming languages, you're right: a caveat in the analysis acknowledges that but didn't make it into the screengrab. I'll publish the full thing later today with these fixes. Thanks again.
