The main screen would loaded but when clicked wouldn’t resolve the sub-modules correctly but I was able to just play the sub-modules and individually and see the old content in all its cheesy glory.
That's exactly what is expected from a non-sterilizing vaccine. The polio virus will still circulate in the gut of the vaccinated and be visible in sewage, etc even though there are no poliomyelitis cases.
Well it can get hard sometimes. Ill assume you dont get the basics and try to explain them to you.

For the sake of simplicity, it's just all about getting a ballpark of the resources an algorithm take (often time, can be memory too) without taking into account the specificity of the machine the program runs into.

Let say the algorithm is x+1, x being a number. Now, you can certainly tell that whatever is the computer, it should be fast right. It's O(1). 1 here means, we know it takes one number (x) to compute the result. Wait you gonna say, it takes 2 actually, x and 1. Well yeah, it's 2 then. But it's always gonna be 2. Its not gonna be 3, its not gonna be 4, its gonna be 2, always.

Lets take another example of O(1): x+y+1. How many operations here? 3. Always 3.

So its always a constant number of operation and we call that O(1).

Now let say we have the following algorithm: result = 0, for each x in L: result += x

How many operations? Well now, it depends on the size of L and if L is big, its gonna take a while to compute. Its not a constant anymore. We call that O(N). N here means: the ballpark is: the size of a list. Its not a constant number of operation, its a number of operation the size of a list.

Now, say you have: result = 0, for each i in L: for each j in M: result += i-j

Whats the ballpark here? The size of a list multiplied by the size of another list. So O(N*N) or O(N2).

Now youll find some algorithm runs at O(log N) on average for example. It means its in the ballpark of the size of a list but...no; weve been able to prove that its quite better than that. Say you search in a binary tree, on average, chances are you wont visit all nodes. On average the ballpark is better than the size of a list. Its log N. Why log? Because its a binary tree and binary trees divide by 2 the size of the remaining list after each step or operation.

Your intuition is correct. We're working on a project where 3rd party developers will write their logic in Prolog, which is a boon for both security and ease-of-writing.

Here's a good video explaining some of this, as well as a nice introduction to the language & and how you can use it in your own projects: https://twitter.com/ThePrologClause/status/15006425339400233...

That's what the targets of the rhetoric say every time. You are playing exactly the role they want.

Yes, that's exactly how you do it. It wouldn't work without the conviction. IMHO past a certain threshold, the more conviction, the more likely they are trying to demonstrate conviction that isn't here. the lady doth protest too much, methinks, as Shakespeare wrote about it centuries ago.

Ah my Spanish brain slipped there, thanks for the correction!
I have had that setup but it never worked for me long term. It rattles around too much, or the mechanism that holds the lock breaks, or it won't stay put, or the mount itself gets stolen. Something always goes wrong with them and usually they're some degree of maintenance, frustration, or trouble along the way. It's a different problem that's sometimes better to have but not a solution to the lock problem for me.
Control rooms/interfaces still do this, even if the schematics are now digitally represented on a screen. I've seen these at chemical plants

You can set a rule to filter into a folder based on VIP status.

I have no VIP mail in my inbox, because I processed it. And that’s nice.

Edit: I should add that FM has a switch to only show VIP mail in the inbox.
That's an interesting point, but it's worth noting that coding benefits from being vastly easier to package and share.

The architects of a plant would have to interact a lot more with a concrete specialist than you have to with the TCP spec to spin up an Http server. Because our industry demands a packaged product, we are quite good at it.

I do however believe you are wrong. Biased from the perspective of a SE, I'd think a whilst a simple banking app involves more agreed protocols and touch points, it is less complicated than a nuclear reactor.

I wonder, between the two, how many specs and manuals would you have to read to design either.
Went with Nature. Thank you.
It's not a linear scale of smaller/larger tribe. You can preserve smaller tribes within larger, and those within larger still.

What nation and nationalism brought to Europe is a series of wars that were as destructive as religious ones, at the time when religious fervor finally died down. And it is still doing more of that.
I don't really understand the negative tone here. Of course there are cases where parents will want to give up a child, for good or bad reasons. Of course that applies to adopted children too. I've heard wildly varying things about how much screening is applied to adoptive parents - some people complain about a lack of screening, others about a hugely expensive and complex process. None of those wringing their hands seem to have a positive proposal to make things better.

I recently had a similar experience updating an old iphone app that was written in Swift 2.

I had to use an old 2009 iMac with a copy of Xcode 8 to migrate to Swift 3, then a 2016 MacBook Pro with Xcode 10 to migrate to Swift 4. Then I could finally perform the final migration and compile/deploy on my M1 Macbook Pro. It was ridiculous!

Is there anything that can be done now to ensure that the access remains after this block goes into the effect? Internet is my only way to contact my father living there, and today I was walking him through a VPN setup. But now that I’ve read these news, I am not even sure if this will help.

The only reason i am asking here is because the time is ticking, and once the block goes into the effect, I wont even be able to relay to him any useful info on how to go around it. So is it pretty much either pre-emptively taking care of it or being stuck hoping that he will figure something out on his own?

Russia gets bogged down is simply a fictional hope here. You should read up how Russia mowed down Hitler. How Russia destroyed Grozny beyond recognition and garnered the survivors's immense loyalty (brainwashed). As long as no countries helping Ukraine militarily, Ukraine losses is inevitable. The only question is just when and how many dead. USA cannot help without risking destruction of Taiwan (1/3 USA navy is on the other side of the planet) and Israel (Iran going nukish). If you observe Putin, unlike American, he hasn't send in the war his best, while Ukrainian has been bleeding their best on the frontline (very similar to Hitler's crack troops against Russian worst back then). As more and more civilians get boxed in and then cut off from outside, Ukrainian military will get weaker and weaker to feed their civilians. In ancient Chinese warfare it was routinely their rule of engagement to exterminate any additional mouth that won't contribute to winning the war. As for Putin, he has a lot of old Soviet stocks that need to dispose of. This war is a perfect excuse to replenish his arms once this is over. So overall, we as worldwide citizen should get Ukrainian to surrender because
1. Less people die
2. Less damages to Ukraine to preserve their cultural identity
3. Ukrainian diaspora spread worldwide will one day have influence and clout to come back to rebuild Ukraine. Putin cannot live long just like Stalin.

But alas, everybody just gotten too emotionally gratifying to cheer and help Zelenskyy to piedpiperred his people to doom like the Battle of Hattin.

That really depends on the assembler. Each one is different. Some support a degree of structured programming, while others do not even allow for relocatable addresses.

> Since there is no fast moving object since its all relative.

I don't know if it will help you, but the explanation that worked for me was: "If two events occur at the same place in an inertial reference frame, the time between the events will be shorter than in any other inertial reference frame."

In other words, each observer sees time slow down on/in objects that are moving fast relative to them (i.e. greater time between events).

For example, if a spaceship zips past Earth at nearly the speed of light, someone on Earth will see the clocks nearly stopped on the spaceship, but someone on the spaceship will also see clocks nearly stopped on Earth. As you said, it's all relative - including time.

Edit: As you brought up the twin paradox in a now deleted question, I should point out that this is indeed "wrong" (or just not applicable) to that scenario. This analysis is only for inertial reference frames and ignores perceptual differences due to moving toward or away. The twin paradox introduces a really mind blowing idea called the relativity of simultaneity. Basically, all the asymmetry in the twin paradox is introduced while turning around.
Flash died because Jobs wanted it to die. He was worried about AS3s extremely fast development rate (the vector art in fla was years ahead). If iphones supported flash they could develop their own stores and push out games -- all going around apples gating. Security! Glitches! those are all lies - that could have been fixed.

It’s possible you just didn’t recognize the way they’re exercising control over their desire for it. If you’re framing it in terms of alcoholism—speaking from experience here—you don’t come up with convenient ways to get away with not drinking, just convenient ways to go right on drinking even when you know you shouldn’t and wish you wouldn’t.
I should've specified that I don't dislike the ATTiny85 or Arduino, far from it. I just needed to find a replacement for a Digispark that I bricked (flashed the wrong bootloader) and wanted to see what other options were out there for a low-spec, low-cost MCU/dev board. I've been using Arduino for years and it's hard to beat the docs and community.

In Russia Catholicism isn’t really a thing.

In Ukraine, it has a stronger institutional presence than the number of followers suggests: the Ukrainian Catholic University is an important institution.

In Poland, Romania, and Germany, it’s very important- far beyond what the number of adherents would suggest.

In countries far removed from the conflict, Argentina, say, it has immense weight. Far beyond what the number of adherents would suggest.

Also many of the bishops (Francis included) have practical, hands on experience operating in countries at war and actual war zones. They are also extremely savvy with the press and civil society groups.

When your country is at war, the Pope is a very nice friend to have.

I recently talked to a priest who spent decades in Latin America during its many wars. He would be a very good friend for the Ukrainians to have.

> In what population does polio spread, the unnvacinnated or the vaccinated? In what population are you exposed to it?

This is all so weird. An explanation of how I understand it:

Polio definitely spreads in the unvaccinated.

If you've given the IPV vaccine, you can later be infected and spread polio (with a little less likelihood), but won't become sick.

If you're given the OPV vaccine, you eventually will have sterilizing immunity, and won't spread it, once immunity develops a small time after vaccination. But the OPV vaccine itself very rarely causes polio outbreaks.

So the recommendations are complicated. If you're in a part of the world without polio spread, you should be given the IPV vaccine.

If you're in a part of the world with endemic polio and a good health system, you should be given the IPV vaccine and then the OPV vaccine a few months later.

If you're in a part of the world with endemic polio and a lacking health system, the best bet is just giving you the OPV vaccine.
It is, maybe as a second order force but if Google, Facebook etc can pay Engineers those salaries, it's only because of their already well oiled scalability that those Engineers built; if they were selling anything with tiny margins, they could not have a large percentage of their employees have a huge salary. And this is what generates demand, which generates scarcity of talent, which makes both what you say and what I said true.

To understand that scalability (/margin per employee) is true, a good counter example would be: if there was a constrain of McDonnalds employees for some reason and that persisted, the company could not afford to pay them $100k salaries because it just doesn't make that much profit per employee (does not scale).

I use a sort of inverse tactic. While working, I often find that trivial questions pop into my head, and I get tempted to look up the answers and distract myself for a while. Stuff like "what does the word 'ducky' mean" or "what are the lyrics to the verse of that Blur song" or "what is the capital of Albania". I keep a text file open on my computer called "later", and when one of these questions comes up, I write it in the file, promising myself that I can look it up later. The truth is that I hardly ever do. The questions seem so burning when I want to be distracted. When I have the free time to look them up, I realize how silly they actually were.
Again I don't feel like that's pushing at the real root of the question. Maybe it's impossible to know and you just go round and round in circles, but what lets China create a stable central government and unified vision but not Africa? And on the other hand, Europe seems to have industrialized well without a centralized vision. After all Europe is a group of separate countries each with distinct languages and governance. There is the EU but that came post-industrialization.

“Don’t Become a Scientist” 20 Years Later – Prosperous Physicist
I teach high school students from time to time and over the years I have accumulated a large library of STEM training material. Of which there are a lot of PowerPoint slides with interactive Flash content embedded.

When MS and Adobe turned off Flash for Windows, the MS Office flash plugins also stopped working. I had to set up a VM running windows 7 to be able to use them again. It is not as smooth as running powerpoint natively but it's good enough for classroom demonstrations.

However when students ask me to share the slides I have to tell them that while they are welcome to have it, about half of the stuff won't work properly because of a rich media plugin they are too young to have heard about. Besides, I don't want to teach them how to set up their own VM, and I doubt they are willing to go that far.

I have spent some time looking into this problem and have not found any third party tools that will allow embedded flash to work again. So much for the digital dark age.
Yes. You link to a random 3rd party javascript, which they could change what it loads at any point.
You are delusional, very clearly Russia has not succeeded as expected. It's not some master strategy going on here, Putin thought it would be over by now according to lots of evidence, from misprint in Russian news agency, presence of riot gear in many of the destroyed convoys. Maybe Russia can grind out a "win" but they definitely didn't intend to have lots of equipment and personnel losses to soften up the Ukrainians like you're saying

Edison had a clever countermove: he recommended placing the wiring into a metal conduit to avoid any such risks. And conveniently, many houses were already equipped with such conduit: their gas lines!

It's not hard it's unfun. I'm a pretty utilitarian user of bikes but the reason I use them so much is that I just enjoy the experience of riding. The weight and hassle of carrying a lock takes some of the enjoyment out, so I avoid it when I can and maybe ride a little less when I can't.

It's not a big deal it doesn't apply to everyone but the more you do stuff on a bike the more it grates.
