I built a project to scratch my own itch as I wanted to see my blog posts in my calendar. I made it into a somewhat professional looking project but if I'm the only user and it works for me I'm already happy: https://editorialsync.com
I’m sure they would find their customers. The Concorde from NY to Paris ran about 10k USD round trip. There are many more millionaires now than there were in the 90s.
Economic incentives include government-funded basic science, mining, tourism, real-estate speculation (i.e. claim a bunch of land while it's cheap), entertainment (sports and movies/TV shows), the ability to do things in a presumably lax regulatory environment that might not be allowed on Earth, and long-term care for those who have disabilities that would require a wheelchair in full gravity but not on Mars, and the establishment of Mars as a more convenient source of food/fuel/raw materials for any human presence in the belt or outer solar system.
> Modern western countries with christian historical traditions do indeed welcome people from different ethnic backgrounds to a degree that no other countries on earth match.

i see you wrote that in another thread. now i understand why you’re claiming this university-led research is ‘bullshit‘: your eurocentric worldview is largely ignorant and naive and it doesn’t sound to me like you’ve had a chance to spend time in Muslim countries.

> The progressive left in the west and even some feminist groups have for decades turned a blind eye to repression of women in the Muslim world due to exactly these kinds of mental gymnastics and it's reprehensible considering their claimed moral postures in other contexts.

ok buddy, whatever you say.
> No sideloading is so great

Because it improves security... I hate that the loudest voices in our industry so often fail to look beyond the horizon. This is a very predictable weak point.

And mobile security is so great. Not that user data is often exfiltrated by a lot of these vetted apps at all...
>You do subsidise it

Not much, as you can see by @cirrus-cloud's price comparisons.

>The privatised railway is a massively inneficient way of running a railway.

It wasn't a picture of efficiency when the state ran it.
Did you take the vaccine?
Hello, Erlang – a new podcast about Erlang and its community
I really like the idea and the art looks good.

You have set the release date to Nov, 2022 - when did you start working on it i.e. how much time is needed for a game like this?

Also, how much expirience have you had with UE or any other game engine before starting this project?

Do you do everything by yourself (art, music etc.) or do you buy / use free stuff from someone else?
The fact that these work out of the box with iPhones is a bonus, not an entitlement that any phone of any brand should have full support for them without installing any apps and without the user even knowing that the product exists.

Isn't this the whole clue, rather than just a bonus? When someone slips an AirTag on to you every single iPhone in the world forms a sort of ad-hoc spying network against you. Without you or the iPhone's owners knowing.
Often you don't have or don't want to spend the uninterrupted time to play a 15+15 match, this is why bullet and blitz are so popular. For those I recommend correspondence chess (e.g. on Lichess). This form of chess is asynchronously, so whenever you have some time, like waiting for the bus, you can deeply think about a chess position of your chess game. After a game I would recommend to analyze the game and learn from your mistakes in the opening, middlegame, endgame, missed tactics and so on. These games are much more meaningful than blitz games, where you obviously might have just lost a game due to a knight fork you hadn't seen because of few seconds left on your clock.

Correspondence games will help you to understand chess more deeply, fix your own mistakes and to become an overall better player. You can also open many correspondence games in parallel, this way you don't have to wait for days until you can make another move.
Lockdowns have also broken everyone’s regular exercise and healthy habits. On charts we all assign this to Covid, but lockdowns were an artificial, additional decision.
The [MS-TDS].pdf is also an excellent piece of documentation, gave me all the answers to write a fully compatible TDS driver.
I know two people who have basically the same story.

One was a runner a Marathon was nothing for him and now almost a year later he can do a half Marathon.

The other one was a natural body builder. They know the weights they can push. He told me that 8 Months after Covid he was down 20% in weights.
I'm pretty sure the actual interest is "Not having people die and overloading the healthcare system", but okay lmao
As I read the text of the study (https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.23.21268276v...) it directly says: "First, we confirm and extend our previous findings in more than 42 million persons that the risk of hospitalization or death from myocarditis following COVID-19 infection is higher than the risk associated with vaccination in the overall population." Is it another study you have where the risk [] is higher after Moderna/Pfizer than after COVID?
Good thing we’re not competing with native execution, and instead with the slow ethereum computer.
Yup I’ve had to debug an issue exactly like this. An IN statement that when populated with <7 parameters would happily use an index but when populated with >=7 parameters would decide to do a full table scan. I was quite dismayed to discover Postgres doesn’t support index hints like MySQL does when I came to fix it.
We do get very occasional issues in our React app, but not enough to outweigh the benefits of things staying up to date.
Ah, I see what you mean, though I do think that immutability purists like yourself have their own monsters to contend with (even apart from the obvious performance hit).
> insufficient gas buffers during the uptick of the economy after Corona

this is true

> Russia closing part of its huge gas supply to Europe

this isn't, afaik. Russia doesn't sell on spot market, they prefer long term futures contracts, on which they reliably deliver. They delivered on their 2021 commitments a bit earlier, hence they closed off the valves

Basically, the gas supplies were low during summer, but the spot prices were significantly above long term average, so energy companies delayed their purchases, hoping the price will come back down soon. It didn't, reserves dried up, and everybody was forced to buy at the same time
Might have made the results less convincing to a peer review. Simple bucketing creates large exposure to confounders in a retrospective analysis which is why researchers turn to more complex models to adjust for e.g. vaccination status in this case.

Assuming you are a software engineer. You know how sometimes a manager, layperson or junior says something like "Why are you making things so complicated by using git. We can just share the code on Dropbox?" Or maybe a student says "Why do arrays start at 0? It's so much simpler to start at 1." Well other professions have their own version of that situation. As a non-researcher it is not always going to be obvious why research methodology seems more complicated or specific than it needs to be.

Clearly producing value for shareholders needs to come before ethics, morals and general decency.
I find it weird that there's no mentions of variants, but I assume based on the timeline it's probably Delta and older.

Seems impossible to tell if this holds for omicron as well, given that it's replication behavior and general outcome is a bit different and usually more mild.
You keep quoting this research like it is something special. The EMA has know this for quite some time to be in the 1-10 in 100000 and more prevailant in males aging 12-35. It either goes away by itself or with medication though you are advised to seek medical attention if you feel anything strange. At least where I live no cases are known of death due this in stark contrast to the actual desease.
I'm under the impression that it's pretty hard to make custom controls that integrate with the UI builder in dot niet. Back when I used Delphi we had a legion. Made adding new user facing functions (in a data driven app mind) a breeze.
"This article is a preprint and has not been peer-reviewed"
What's your point? You can define some other property which complex numbers don't satisfy.
This comment will probably get flagged, but I am genuinely curious from a scientific lens. What is the distribution of post-COVID heart disease conditional on having taken the vaccine?
When was this,? asking as omicron is a very different beast than delta
I meant strictly in terms of user experience. That was years ago though, and back then there were no ads.
Arweave has the same mechanics as Bitcoin: It is based on financial incentives.

While Bitcoin miners calculate hashes to get transaction fees, Arweave miners store data to get those fees paid upfront for storage.

So the question "what happens in they shut down" is similar to asking "what happens if Bitcoin shuts down?". It is not a single party the suddenly can decide to "shut down".
From the paper, 3rd paragraph from the end in the "Main" section:

> "First, we confirm and extend our previous findings in more than 42 million persons that the risk of hospitalization or death from myocarditis following COVID-19 infection is higher than the risk associated with vaccination in the overall population."

Quick edit: while I was skimming the paper someone else commented exactly this excerpt, hehe.
I see endemic used to mean different things.

I think most people just mean that it is now established and won't go away. That it will be a constant presence in our lives.

I believe epidemiologists also require that infection rates remain roughly constant and don't exhibit wild swings in infection numbers.

I guess we're still in an epidemic.
In the US, Elon Musk, the 45th and AOC are known to tweet on their own. For the 45th, it was easily discoverable if he tweeted on his own or not by looking on the app ID.

In Germany, health minister Karl Lauterbach, foreign Minister Annalena Charlotte Alma Baerbock (yes, her parents really did name her 1312) as well as a boatload of MPs (most notably Katharina Schulze) also tweet on their own.
Me too!

I don't think people typically contact their representatives, but I figured its a good time to start. The EFF made it really easy to lookup and send a canned message to my senators. I plan to try to call the office tomorrow. I assume I'll get stopped at their secretaries, but even that might be enough to just leave an extra bump of persuasion.
I have such a hard time relating to this. In Denmark I feel like 95% of bus stops have some sort of bench, and a lot of them has like a small shed, to get out of the rain in bad weather. It's wild to think that citizens should be adding those themselves. But I guess there's no profit in adding benches to each stop as a bus company.
In a way, yes. But that’s not what most people are referring to when they talk about “distributed systems”, so I think you’ve constructed a straw man.
Provide Minecraft servers for coworker's families or locals. Low ping is important. You can provide it in coworking bundle, free or just do separate business. Then organize (W)LAN parties on weekends :)
Do you know if the immune response from the vaccine also causes that damage or not?
The biggest standout difference I see is that the largest study in that article is for 3,000 covid cases, whereas this one is on 153,000.
Why should the public bear the costs of a $2 trillion dollar company's decisions? Why should overpoliced communities be subject to even more policing?

The solution here is to restrict airtags to finding your own stuff only. That takes away some of the utility but also all of the stalking risk.
Does it matter if there are no legal consequences? That is even worse in my opinion. And it doesn't make government look bad if people just find it "cool".
What is state? Every local variable is state. I can convert any global variable to a local variable or function argument with trivial changes. Does it mean that every local variable is the real enemy? Only empty program is perfect. But useless.

I'd say that not just state is the real enemy. It's all about life time of a particular bytes. `(x, y) => (x + y)` is a good function. Its state is discarded pretty fast. `(x, y) => (z) => (x + y * z)` probably is a bad function, its state is preserved for a long time. Global variable state is preserved during the whole program run. Database state is preserved during the whole software lifecycle or may be even more.

And that's not even about state is enemy. It's about how much time do you need to design this particular code. When you're thinking about database structure, that's a real deal. Take a lot of time, that's important and decisions will have impact for years or even decades. When you're designing pure function which does not leak any state, you don't need to think at all, just slap something and move on, you can easily replace it later if need arises.

TLDR: prefer state with short life time, be very careful with code that works with long time state.
My other "I don't care if it succeeds project" is an uptime checker I've been building extremely iteratively: https://onlineornot.com/

Mainly started building it because I wanted to learn more about running a business, marketing, and SEO (all the technical parts of the business are relatively easy in comparison).

I started with literally just a Lambda function that checks if static websites were still online, added an email alert if it's offline, wrapped authentication around it, integrated Stripe, and shipped it.

I launched it into 200 competitors providing the "same" service and still managed to get customers.

Mainly from working two hours a day, every weekday, for almost a year now. Each feature I ship has to be shipped within a two hour block and iterated upon later (so I use feature flags - the other service I built), and I only build features actual customers ask for and can explain how that new feature would fit into their business processes.
I think it's worth noting that that was an exploit as opposed to a hack or a scam.

In this case, the code securely gave the money to people in a way the owners didn't expect
Yes, but probably not much.

It also depends on how many particles it takes to get you sick. Norovirus is only 7, which is insane and also why it spreads so easily. Hard to have just an exposure to that!
the original reproducible build in a way
This conclusion comes from this oft-cited study: https://www.epicresearch.org/articles/myocarditis-risk-17-ti...

Unfortunately this study's message is quite obfuscating, probably intentionally. They mean exactly what they say though: covid-induced myocarditis rate is higher than vaccine-induced myocarditis rate, but it says nothing about covid-induced myocarditis rate in relation to vaccination status.
Did you have any symptoms leading up to it? Perhaps you were wearing an Apple Watch?
Why is that article still a preprint?
I’m a musician too, for over 30 of my soon to be 40 years. I too don’t care about its “success” I’ve made a grand total of $11 and two tall boys performing, and easily spent a few thousand on gear/recording software (not to mention the running
joke that I’m not allowed to buy more guitars). I play/record inconsistently but I love the hell out of it when I’m in it, and I’m just tickled that other people have enjoyed anything I’ve written too. Good for you!
I build react-table-library [0] for a client of mine one year ago. From there on, I used my spare time to advance the library and to let off steam when I need just hands on coding. It turned out to be a pretty powerful library, but I hadn't yet the courage to publicly announce it.

Then let's fight the actual problems - the governments - and stop going after the decoys. Let's make it illegal for government to access and use business data. That will fight the actual problem while allowing businesses to keep serving us better.
This is almost two years old, for reference.
I learned English as a kid by trying to read the manual for game maker. I'd sometimes get my parents to translate little bits, but they had better shit to do than sit there and translate line by line.

Somehow I managed to bootstrap that into (IMHO) pretty fluent English. Ask me to do something similar today and I am 100% sure it'd be impossible.

Little kids are impressive.
Looks like your VPS Credit expired ;)
The way it looks people in China won't.
I looked through the documentation and all I could find was how to spin this up locally. How do I run this on the cloud?

Do you offer fully managed service to host this or do I need to spin up some compute instances of my own ?
Yes. Free software is computer science in pure form. It is a verifiable and reproducible method to get results. You can build on it and step on the shoulders of giants. The front of computer science only moves forward with publications and code releases, everything else reinvents the wheel in an inefficient manner.
Right to use end2end Encryption is almost equal to right to bear arms (conceptually)
It is even worse (read my practical translation below in another post where this leads to)
If your threat model includes someone "just cloning your airtag and planting a clone", I think you've got big issues you need to deal with.
Yes, can you pretend to at least read the fucking article.
I find it really difficult to believe that there are developers out there that never need to be able to break or continue in a loop. What exactly would they be developing?
Just remember that they will list hotels as «full» if they don’t have any rooms out on booking.com. Many hotels never do, and some hotels only do when they have a lot of free rooms.
Plausible deniability yes, but even just safety. If I don't engage with a topic in a detailed manner, it's very unlikely I'll say something wrong about it, that could later come back to haunt me. Remember "the internet is a series of tubes"? The guy was hammered for trying to understand a complex topic - and he wasn't even dramatically wrong, just used a metaphor (almost certainly thought-up by someone in his staff) that was just excessively reductionist.

The media playing gotcha has made it fundamentally dangerous for a politician to be publicly wrong on any topic. The reaction is to avoid engaging with complex issues.
Do you have a link to their models w.r.t +5 degrees?

seems like an extraordinary number
Totally agree, Fastly looks like they do not want small customers. Would be easy for them just to match Cloudfare on some of the offerings.
Yeah, this goes full FP with fp-ts (although it's TypeScript). The only thing I hate about it is brackets everywhere.

Yes indeed - I'm a pretty frequent user from Germany and I have used the free cancellation feature a few times without trouble. You can tell that it's real from the fact that offers with free cancellation, especially when close to the arrival date, are a few percent more expensive ;)
It is poor design only if we are calling this misuse. For the record I don't think Apple is doing anything of the sort. They knew exactly how these AirTags would be used, so they wouldn't blame the user as misusing the tags.
> Fuck everyone else I guess.

They do seem to have dropped the ball on their Android app. Majority of reviews on that app is people complaining that it doesn't do background scans!

Not sure if there is a technical limitation in doing so on Android, but if not, I hope they make, what seems to be a small effort to make things better for Android users.
> It's particularly smart in this moment of tension with Russia, as Europe depends a lot on Russian energy.

This may help lowering the reliance of France on Russia but its energy production will still be reliant on other countries, as 100% of the required fuel (uranium) is imported.
There is consent. If you don't want the "spewed tracking data", you can disable the Find My Network completely.
I don't believe anyone is claiming the vaccine reduces myocarditis on its own, other than by reducing the severity of a future covid infection.
Using forEach/map/etc. can often result in worst performance, because some JavaScript JITs (SpiderMonkey in particular has trouble with this) aren't able to monomorphize calls to them effectively and end up falling back to the interpreter due to the megamorphic nature of these higher-order functions.

Even for engines that do, you do end up paying a cost for the JIT to warm up to monomorphize these functions.
Hotels.com as screwed up my booking twice (showed up and the hotel had no record of me booking a room) and had terrible customer service both times. Never again.
> The problem with "leaky" encapsulation as you put it, is the combinational explosion of the state space as many stateful objects are composed.

I don’t think it has to be necessarily more than with an immutable approach. Like, there is an essential amount of state you will have to have either case and it is not clear to me that immutability is always the better choice.

But don’t get me wrong, I also default to immutable data structures, I’m just saying that 1) OOP is not incompatible with FP 2) not every problem is solved better with FP-idioms. It’s not accidental that haskell has state monads as well.
Oh? Completely missed that until I came here. I really enjoyed the strange aloofness (my interpretation, then) of this passage:

If he had the game to do over again with today’s technology, Mr. Rotberg said, he would change it even more: instead of a monochrome display, a color vector display could be used, and newer microprocessors and cheaper memory could add realism and complexity.

That text juxtaposed with the stark monochrome images of line-based vector graphics (no filled surfaces, of course) and my sense of what computer games look like today created a fun sense of ... I don't know. That the IEEE publication was very much removed from the real world in terms of games, or something. :) Learning that the text is 40 years old explains that, obviously.

I created this to register bad drivers by plate numbers. Only on Russian.
I created a privacy-friendly wishlist service (https://wishy.gift/) for my SO, and as long as she and my family uses it, it's a success for me. Going from ~1k to ~5k users during 2021 was a lot of fun, but it's the close circle that really counts :)
Agreed, but thinking that a new energy source will solve that is completely incorrect. It can help, yes, but it's not a given fact that it will.
I am building a D&D 5e character sheet app: https://dwarven.academy

It has very few users but I don't care because I built it mainly because I didn't enjoy dndbeyond and wanted something different. I'm using it for all my sessions :3
