This is a great idea, thank you. Currently there is no count of those who got covid vs entire population, but it would be interesting to know! I've added this to the upcoming feature list: https://github.com/michaelboerman/covid_percentiles/issues/7
Universe was something with an interesting storyline. I can imagine watching it more.

I also heard that a new show would introduce the Stargate to the public with plenty of though experiments they could play out.

Stargate Atlantis also had plenty of new ideas.

I hope that it will not feel like std were technology looses it's fun due to it being so advanced that it doesn't matter anymore.

Man reasons where C syntax has left me out to dry? Well I once spent a week on a deadline debugging a pointer overflow, where it only happened when the game was fullscreen and not debuggable (circa 2005). Even modern C++ is awful though. I fixed a bug a while ago where an "auto&" was just an "auto", and caused the entire scene graph to get copied and then crash.
Double vaxxed and boosted. Tested positive today. Currently feels like a moderate cold, very slight brain fog with no fever and no loss of taste/smell. Very grateful for the vaccines.

Same. I used to make a commit every time I got up so as not to lose work, but that just littered the history. Then I switched to keeping it in Dropbox or using Syncthing for work stuff, so now I only have to commit when I get to a stopping point or to share with others.
> Frankly, even inside of medicine it's usually not terribly relevant, and is often a poor proxy for the information they really want out of it.

Sex is incredibly important inside medicine. It's probably the most important distinguishing characteristic when determining how to diagnose and treat someone (maybe weight is more).

Here are a few examples:

- 99% of breast cancer occurs in women

- any diseases affecting the female[male] reproductive systems can only impact women[men]

- 4x as many women suffer from osteoporosis

- Roughly 70% of those living with autoimmune diseases are female

- stomach cancer (2:1 men) oesophageal cancer (3:1 men) liver cancer (2:1 to 4:1 men)

Capacitive sensing is the norm for consumer accelerometers: you generally don't want surfaces making contact and especially sliding past each other in MEMS in practical applications because the surfaces will tend to stick to each other or wear extremely quickly (MEMS gears are a neat trick but you won't find them in any product using MEMS because they last a few minutes of operation at best).

Agree no one should be compelled to sell software to Russia, but the topic at hand is the dangers of normalizing national restrictions in open source licensing. Would you be comfortable with an open source license that bans Jewish users because of the Palestinian conflict?

Unless there's problematic material within the algorithms/models -- and there could be, in some cases -- I get the feeling that, longer-term, algorithmic transparency would be far more effective.

It would help demonstrate what biases were introduced, the systems and processes that permitted/encouraged those to exist, and it would help prevent repeats of similar mistakes in future.

(it seems fair for the FTC to also be able to order companies to stop using a particular category of algorithms; that doesn't require or imply deletion, though)
Yes, they directly support LibreOffice development. I purchased a small set of licenses from a reseller (I'm too small for purchasing directly) to support their efforts.
Is there no quarantine mandate where you live? Just curious, here it would be frowned upon to go running when you are positive.
You may have had it and spread it to others. Asymptomatic cases are very common.

The top menu made sense when computer screens were small and the mouse pointer thus never far away from the top, and applications were fullscreen most of the time anyway.

Yeah it took me several minutes to figure out how to scroll on a macbook because there is no visible scrollsbar, to hit right arrow, and then the scroll bar appeared. I couldn't click and drag it.
You can ask for confirmation if it’s an unusual construction, but denying it outright is user hostile.

Also, how many users are actually manually typing their e-mail address into a form, instead of using autofill?

As the referenced page says, a valid email address is one that can receive email. If you really care about the e-mail address being correct, then you need to validate it by sending a verification e-mail.

View it as a particular opinion of how collections should be formed. Now take this particular opinion and enforce it by mechanical rules, so that valid collections are exactly those that can be formed by these rules. Voila, you got your type theory.

If you want to be really bold, start infusing a notion of construction and proof into your collections.

Good luck with finding a good and intuitive explanation for that process.
Caught it during July 2021 just two days before my planned second dose (Italy's vaccination rates were quite slow back then), had fever at 40 degree celsius for around 3 days, and around 38 for the next week. Luckily very mild cough. Paracetamol had no effect when symptoms started.

No idea on the long term effect, but surely I will remember for a while being delirious for three days straight.
Many electronics work that way. Motors can also generate electricity. Inductors can create or sense magnetic fields. Resistance is generally temperature dependent. Etc.

Agreed but pushing at least at the end of the day should be required just in case somebody needs to pick up your work for some reason.
I think most languages (implicitly) define `->` to include all such functions, not just those which could be defined by the language itself. Otherwise it would not be possible to describe the type of builtin or foreign-language library functions, which often exist explicitly to circumvent language restrictions.

Even constructive logic languages (e.g. Coq) adhere to this definition I believe, else it would be impossible to introduce axioms.

Hi, thanks for noting this. I actually intentionally made the most recent day yesterday because today's data will always be live and not actually reported yet. Good eye!
Yep, called the kneejerk.

These are statistical differences. If you want to know if they apply to an individual you need to know more. A checkbox on a form is not sufficient.

If you're usefully aggregating data for some purpose, say for a study, then go off ask all the relevant indicators you want.

If it's an intake form for an eye doctor appointment, it won't tell you dick all. If a patient came in for a breast exam, you already know they're at risk of cancer. If you're their family doctor figuring out risk factors, you already know their medical history.

And if they're trans or intersex, and you're assuming that either their assigned sex or their self-declared gender tells you which bucket they fall in, you know a lot more than anyone else about how those traits affect those things because they are woefully understudied, and almost certainly complicated by literally everything in their medical history.
Omicron wasn't so bad but I got a moderna booster early in January and have had really bad side effects from it, including what looks like dermatographia (itchy skin and hives from any grazing of the skin).

It seems like a lot of other people who got the moderna booster are experiencing it. For me it started 9 days after the shot and I was initially convinced that it was some sort of allergic reaction to something I ate (I never had any allergies before).

I did check it out and it looks really good. As opposed to some other comments, I don't have a problem with pricing (my SaaS is a healthy business and I gladly pay for quality).

But using this solution would mean loading third-party JavaScript with third-party trackers. Which for many reasons is a complete non-starter. I'm quite happy to have a site with zero third-party scripts/trackers.

So, call me when I can send the events myself from my code :-)

It's not bad UX per se (I love it for certain mobile uses), but it's bad to make an assumption that horizontal scrolling is always available.

Similarly, it's bad to assume that everyone is always using a keyboard and mouse (a frustration I encounter in Desktop environment communities (e.g. Gnome / Linux) in gesturing that some use tablet PCs).

> Problem is, years later, tons of people still don't know what it means

This is a problem which could get solved if every mainstream media presents this icon for 30 seconds with a short explanation for one week during the main news hour. Or every newspaper would dedicate 1/4 of a page to it for one week.

Viewers educated, problem solved. Make an exception for such an important icon.

I personally find the sausage link horrible. I have to scroll by picking the scroll bar with the mouse because the scroll wheel is not working in the demo, and it's anything but a compact display of information, unlike what you get with a drop-down popup menu.

I think you're using the term, masterpiece, too loosely. Martin's works are novels filled with stories, but there are not many interpretations of what he is describing. There are not layers upon layers of meaning, but instead, it simply is what it is, and there is little to no argument about what his words mean. J.R.R. Tolkien is a favorite of mine, but I would not talk about his writing skill, and what is fascinating about Tolkien has nothing to do with is writing but the world he created. I think Martin has similarities in this regard. But The Lord of the Rings has many interpretations. A Song of Fire and Ice, not so much. The Renaissance frescoes by Michelangelo at the Sistine Chapel is a masterpiece, no one would rationally disagree. In comparison, A Song of Fire and Ice is merely pulp, i.e. popular writing that is generally regarded by academic experts of writing as poor quality. Tolkien influenced academics, and you can study Tolkien in certain lectures. Even Rowling is studied. I seriously doubt any university level professor would pull out A Song of Fire and Ice, or any of Martin's work, and develop a seminar around it, or spend a semester studying it to reveal the levels of complexity and novel style of prose, because it simply isn't there. Martin is very much a two dimensional thinker that writes in one linear dimension, his words have one single meaning, and scratching past the shallow surface of Martin's words doesn't reveal anything below it beyond the story it is telling. I think you should read more Melville, Hemingway, Miller, Dostoyevski, Tolstoy, Twain, Steinbeck, Salinger, Bradbury and Vonnegut, and many many others, before ever claiming anything by Martin is a "masterpiece." Just try to get out more.

Even the example the author uses of good typography [1] is hard ("tedious"?) to look at compared to most of the things humans look at.

[1] https://miro.medium.com/max/1400/1*DnymhUCjFLaG0wPxzj_now.pn...

While "good typography" is easier to look at all day than the output of a typewriter is, all text is hard to look at for a long time, and the author is concerned with minor improvements that do not fix the main problem.

The main problem might be called the frozen-lake effect: when a human being in the outdoors finds him- or herself in a environment without hills or trees or things that suggest or resemble hills or trees, he or she becomes slightly uncomfortable, impatient and much more willing to be unkind to his or her fellow human beings.

Text on a page or a screen resembles a frozen wilderness or a desert much more than it does an environment with hills or trees (unless the text is so large that only a few letters will fit on the page). We put up with it because the written word is so extremely useful, but hopefully soon some technology (maybe some derivative of voice assistants like Siri) will appear that has most or all of the tremendous advantages of text without the frozen-lake effect.

Really what your asking is a framework level query rather than what low level primitives the runtime provides.

Demo itself won't use all the cores for some JS you just slap in, that's not how JS works (it'll use the same as v8, which will be one main thread for the JS to be processed in and potentially several helper threads for IO etc)

If you want multi core you either build it yourself using the web workers or find a framework that does it for you.
To my understanding, the EU can prevent the merger of the subsidiaries of the companies that are based out of the EU, which effectively craters multinational company merges.

That said, the EU apparently explicitly approve this particular merger. So that kind of invalidates the EU as an exception.

One thing that can make rebasing much easier is making use of --fixup and --squash. Often you know at the time that a commit is either fixing a previous commit or that you would want to squash it with a previous commit. This can save a lot of time later as you can simply issue a --autosquash to rebase. If you do it right it means others can rebase your branch too.
The problem isn't the mechanics of the hamburger menu, it's that we use an icon to represent it. I've never seen a case where space was so scarce that the icon couldn't be replaced by the word "Menu."

Perhaps there is some issue with internationalization, but I've been to restaurants in 30+ countries, and "Menu" seems to be pretty universally-used word.
> The thing about modern software that infuriates me the most, watching my parents struggle with it, are the damned screen-takeover or focus-stealing on-launch notices, usually about some update they don't care about.

I would bet in almost all cases, these can be directly attributed to the developer company's poorly devised career incentives. Behind every full-screen "OMG CHECK OUT WHAT'S NEW" takeover or notification-spam lies a product manager or engineering manager whose bonus is tied to some vanity measurement of how many users are engaging with the new feature they launched. "How much of the user's attention and screen space can I take over in order to try to jam this unwanted feature down their throat and show huge usage numbers next performance review?"

It simply does not follow that the classifier for CSAM would have the same rate of false positives. There isn't enough information to infer that.
I really enjoyed this - several LOL's. I loved the sequence of falsehoods about compilers:

- The compiler won’t have bugs.

- The compiler won’t have show-stopping bugs.

- The compiler’s bugs will be fixed quickly.

- The compiler’s bugs can be fixed.

But I think they should have added:

- My code does not work because of bugs in the compiler..
Comparison of this with some more formats (BGP is basically HEIF):

I suppose just the usual 'rebase vs. merge' - i.e. if there are conflicts to resolve they will be dealt with commit-by-commit in the usual way when rebasing, whereas without the option set they will be dealt with all at once 'merge-style'. I happen to think that's a feature, but I know some don't like it.

I think there's less argument in favour of merge than usual with pulls though - since it's much less like a semantic merge to begin with for git-merging to preserve a history of.

I'm certainly not aware of any objective downside/gotcha/'oh but it doesn't work when...', no.

The docs only add that you might further want to set it to `interactive` or `merges` rather than `true`, for the effect of rebasing with those options: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#Documentation/git-config...
True. I guess this entire comment thread isn't germane to the post topic given the root comment is a hypothetical that isn't actually related to court decision.
These trade associations lobby the government to codify these deceptive rules, or like our nonsense serving sizes they all do it in unison so when the food companies are busy deceiving everyone with their package labeling they can say “Hey we’re just following the law!” or “We’re just following industry standards!”
> My point was about whether C++ screws you over with UB when the programmers intention can be argued to be obvious.

Incrementing a number is obvious and results with UB if incremented past the maximum. Since you get no guarantee whatsoever how the UB will be handled (hence the joke with the end of the space-time, or nasal demons etc.), by my understanding (that I think many experts share), it can indeed screw you up.

Of course you may say a programmer should expect this to happen and so it's just a bug - every UB is.

> It seems like people are making this into a discussion about C++ being a difficult language to learn

I think it's more than that. Even assuming that you never caused UB yourself, you can still work on someone else's code with UB and need to debug it. So C++ is hard to learn AND use.

As a hobbyist, Deno is actually quite nice, and is definitely a good way to learn JavaScript these days. TypeScript support is icing on the cake. Sure, you don't have access to years worth of Node packages, but I can overlook that when programming solo with it is generally nicer than using Node.
Yep. Dropbox is also a great safety net for when I mess something up in between commits. I've had a few times where I've deleted or changed some code that I couldn't restore just via undos. Normally I'd pretty much be screwed, but Dropbox retains a diff every time a file is saved, so it's basically impossible for me to lose anything.

> "types are syntax, not semantics".

That's a bad paraphrase of the original:

> One main theme of this work is the importance of notations in mathematics and computer science: new questions were asked and solved only because of the use of AUTOMATH notation, itself a variation of λ-notation introduced by A. Church for representing functions.

The notation is syntax, but types are the semantics (specifically, denotational semantics) that the notation is used for.
In particular, the notation is a syntax that can be mechanically maniplated, so that computers can make semantic computations.
