Here are the two recent studies I've seen that suggest reinfections are not rare and have similar severity to the first. Qatar's reports have been good so I wouldn't discount their results, and it's possible that the 81 study meta-review and the VA system data don't accurately capture what's really happening, but still they are the strongest cases I've seen in the area.

I haven't seen any case that protection from infection is better than at least the mRNA vaccines, only that it's inconsistent and wanes relatively rapidly. Where'd you find that?

MTT S60 has a 6-pin power connector so it's safe to assume that power consumption is under 150W (75W PCI + 75W connector). That would be on par with GTX 1070 but hopefully it's lower due to 12nm vs 16nm process.
This article compares Ada with C and PL/1. This is pretty easy to win - its hard to imagine language less safe than C.

No, he's not saying that.

He's saying that, when person A says something, and person B says that the statement is x-ist, person B intends that to end the conversation. In particular, person B intends that they not have to actually refute person A's statement.

PG's reaction isn't the point at all. The point is the speaker's intent.
TFA hits the most important point: know your strengths. After about 20 years consulting, I moved back into development. I wasn’t a great developer then, and am far far better now.

But my coding skill isn’t my strength (somewhat slow, very defensive), my subject expertise (SELinux, ICAM, risk assessment) is.

If you have specialty skills, you can be well rewarded, even if you are slower than the youngsters.

Your comment gave me an idea for a lint that might help prevent those mistakes. Right now rustc flags `unsafe {}` with an "unused_unsafe" warning. However it doesn't warn for `unsafe fn foo() {}`. Maybe it should.

First, you can just google for "logistics is a shady business"

If you want to be more specific, you can google for "carrier haulage tax evasion" - this will be just the tip of the iceberg.

Supply chain is mixed with shady practices for tax evasion, bribery, laundering and all sorts of shady things at all levels that "compete" with actual process optimization. Combined with overall opposition to automation this incapacitates any effort to make the process efficient cuz it's hard, it "steals jobs" and not easy money.

Broadly speaking I think React is in a weird spot where they have painted themselves into a corner with no obvious way of fixing it by essentially forking the DOM and doing so many things independently of the wider web platform. That approach made a lot of sense when it was first released but is just a liability at this point.

If you’re deep in React land and it’s all you know I think 2022 might be a good time to expand your horizons a bit because the landscape around you has changed a lot in the past five years.
The exurban areas of Australia’s three largest capital cities. For example, the Central Coast line north of Sydney has half-hourly electric intercity trains interoperating with freight on a line that extends 165km from the city. Melbourne and Brisbane have similar lines radiating out to regional areas.

Within the Sydney metropolitan area, commuter trains are operating among freight trains at 5-15 minute frequencies, though with dedicated freight bypass lines in some places.

One issue in the USA, alongside private ownership of the rail lines, is oversized freight trains and resulting overbuilding required of passenger trains for crash safety. Unfortunately that rules out high-performance EMU designs as used in other countries. I believe Caltrain had to get an exemption for their ongoing electrification upgrades.
My last projects were controversial. lol. Finished it in 3?ish days. Ruby/Rails/mysql. The elevator pitch: "You place your github project on the site, you rate atleast 5 people's github project, people will view and rate your github project ". It was a fun way to view rando github projects and share feedback.

Github security reached out. Banned. All accounts locked. Creepy lawyer emails. Threats. Then i remembered we are in a closed garden now. It isn't 1998.

The post is also about crashes in rustc not crashes in rust programs, right?
> Bigger utilities will prefer pumped hydro for short-term storage, anywhere it is practical.

Is there any pumped hydro in flat land anywhere deployed on large scale?

> Synthetic chemical fuels -- hydrogen and ammonia -- are compelling for longer-term storage, despite their currently low round-trip efficiency.

Not really.

> Then, there is no downside to massive overbuilding of generating capacity: all capacity generates revenue, up to market saturation.

And then you need lots and lots of electrolysis that will all operate at low utility.

I would be on batteries before I would on hydrogen.
B1M: Why New York’s Billionaires’ Row Is Half Empty
I looked at the math in the article and I asked myself, what compels people to choose this path for their career? Nothing about it looks appealing. It looks like a bunch of gibberish for 99% of humanity and only 1% of people willingly go to school to learn this stuff. I have a lot of respect for people who have jobs involving this level of math and physics so dummies like me have the ability to type out this comment.
Listening to the audio book while doing some mindless chore or going for a walk has worked well for me. Good luck!
documentation can be invaluable when it explains the underlying requirements or constraints behind a particular implementation. if you can just see the implementation but have no documentation of what the actual requirements and constraints are, what problem is trying to be solved, there's no way to evaluate if the code is correct or not, even if the code is structured in a way that looks subjectively clean, elegant, performant, etc.

if the codebase is super elegant but is solving a problem that is no longer relevant to the organisation, the correct move is likely to delete or archive the repo and avoid the ongoing cost of maintaining it.

if you are new to a codebase and look at a particular implementation of something without any context, maybe it looks very strange and should "obviously" be refactored to align more with some standard application design principle or heuristic.

but without the extra context of "oh originally it was written the standard way but for operational / business reasons X Y Z we had to contort it this way to avoid causing production outages due to interactions with bugs in the A B C layer" or "oh that was written by a contractor in a hurry who we got rid of for underperforming, yeah there's no reason it had to be that way, cleaning it up is on the backlog when we next have a reason to touch that part of the code" you're operating blind.
A half-measure I've considered is dropping my iPhone in favor of (only) a cellular Apple Watch. This would allow me to call Uber, check my email, and do most of the other things expected by modern society, but harder to loose hours to the device.
Try emacs and org-mode sometime. Configurability is off the charts and vi keybindings are easily configurable (and so are the snippets). I loved the workflow, I believe that a mind like yours will also find emacs elisp captivating and I would love to see what you could come up with in that much more flexible ecosystem (I am a former Vim evangelist)

Ignoring for a second that it's perfectly legitimate for a teacher to do something like have a rainbow flag bumper sticker on their car, or be openly gay and mention their same-sex spouse in class, all of which would not go well in many places in 1985... you can't think of a reason to discuss gay rights in, say, high school level social studies, history, or literature classes?

Mexico would ultimately benefit from more investment. Throw in the trillions the US has wasted on nation building elsewhere and the Americas could have been built into having much stronger public institutions. It's not like Western Europe doesn't leverage its eastern neighbors and North Africa for cheaper labor.

That approach made a lot of sense when it was first released but is just a liability at this point.

The problems that strict mode is addressing with this somewhat unusual approach have absolutely nothing to do with the VDOM. Rather it is that code using React is subject to restrictions (being pure functions and following the hook rules when using hooks) that are impossible to express or enforce at compile time in javascript.

I always thought that Blub Languages was the most perfect distillation, though it doesn't have the additional fun of being applied to an ecosystem entirely outside of PG's expertise. The essay sets up people he disagrees with to be definitionally wrong and sets himself up to be definitionally correct and so much more enlightened then those pedestrian "blub" programmers.

Much like the Fair Housing Act of 1968 restricts the Constitutional property rights of earlier bigots who didn't want to sell property to the "wrong" type of people, society by and large will likely be okay with violating the Constitutional property rights of the illiberal who don't want to allow the "wrong" type of people to use market-dominant services.

Money is fungible. Each dollar spent on clean generation displaces some rate of CO2 exhaust. A dollar spent on renewables displaces much more than the same dollar spent on nukes. You cannot spend the same dollar on both.

Thus, a dollar spent on nukes instead of renewables brings climate catastrophe nearer.

I've been trying to learn math for years but truly have no idea where to begin. I started with Kiselev's Geometry and Gelfand's Algebra. I used to hate Math. When I read Lockharts Lament some years ago and it brought me to tears. Ever since then I've had a big appreciation for it but no real time to get into it. Gelfand's Algebra is really cool because it starts with the most basic problems ever that a 3rd grader can do, and works it's way up. It's worth checking out!

In nuclear reactors a "burner" is like a conventional reactor, with uranium fuel and slow neutrons, which mainly just fission the U235 (plus a bit of plutonium that shows up). It means you're fissioning about 1% of your uranium ore.

A "breeder" can be one of two things:

1) Thorium fuel, slow neutrons. A neutron hits thorium, converts it to U233, then that fissions. Take a ton of thorium, fission all of it, get one gigawatt-year.

2) Uranium fuel, fast neutrons. The fast neutrons can fission U235, U238, plutonium, and other transuranics. Take a ton of uranium, fission all of it, get one gigawatt-year.

Compared to burners, either type of breeder only requires 1% as much fuel, produces 1% as much waste, and the waste is mostly fission products with much shorter half-lives. Encase it in glass and bury it, and it'll be back to the radioactivity of the original ore in about 300 years, with most of the radioactivity going away in the first few decades.
>Goodness knows how they could go 4-5 years only to discover that the planned remediation, which they were only set to start putting in place in July of last year, was not allowed under their environmental regulations.

They probably had all sorts of preliminary oks and then got denied at the 11th hour because internal political winds changed in whatever office they were dealing with.

What I find about older people who complain about ageism in tech is that most of them really just wanna be in management or admin and not do the grunt work of actual dev or ops. That or they insist that they are relevant despite knowing only the same frameworks or methodologies that haven't been in vogue for 15+ years, and only now they got laid off.

I hate to generalize, but never in my experience (I am over 40) have I ever even seen a resume with potential ever get turned away due to age.

> The problem with this kind of argument is that it's very hard to be sure you aren't trapped in your "bubble"

It definitely could be my bubble. A lot of the strength behind my opinion formed while living in Seattle and mingling with the locals.

An anecdote: I once was at a friends birthday, and was seated next to a mutual friend I'd had for a year. She asked if I had been to the women's march, and I said "sorry no, I didn't have the time." She said "everybody has the time" and I said "I feel uncomfortable at marches." She said that's not a reason. I said "Okay, the real reason was I didn't have the hat." After that we were no longer friends.

Interacting with the left in the southwest has been a significantly better experience.
I really like the scattering media, and the mathematical figures you can do with it, such as 3D Julia fractals and noise patters to model really rough "stony" surfaces that aren't just bump maps. On top of that I don't think I've found a better way to generate various patterns and textures, even for simple 2D work. It's just such a versatile set of tools you almost wouldn't believe it's free! And the fact that it's entirely scripted (unless wysiwyg megapov etc) just makes it better IMHO. It's a scripting-first modelling language, and I really, really like that. With that comes things such as inverse kinematics and gravity (for animations) without having to learn specialized GUIs or buy expensive software.

I'd say in some circumstances yes you can be too old depending on where you're trying to get a job. For me as a 40'ish year old with 3 kids (1 an infant), 3 dogs, a busy home I can't dedicated the time a 20'ish year old could with no responsibilities. Can I work for a FANG? or start-up? Probably not. I just depends on the culture. I love to code. I envy my earlier years where time wasn't as valuable and I had the freedom to try new things.

There's the inverse too of being older programmer with more responsibilities at home. It's lost on my wife when I explain to her look I want to spend time with you but watching the kardashians isn't good together time - so that I'd rather work she would take offense. Time is precious.
One of my sisters gave me a gift several years ago. It is a leather wallet that has two pockets that are sized to hold 3x5 cards. One of the pockets has an open face so that you can write on the top card, the other has a closed face so that you can carry lots of extra cards.

It is indispensable.

It is embossed with the text "Gerber Safe Company". Other than the fact that I own the wallet I have no connection with them.

When I read posts like yours, I wish unsafe had a different name like "human invariant" or whatever.

Something that would make it harder to water down the meaning of the clearly defined unsafe keyword to suddenly mean something else.

Using the unsafe keyword to mark a function as "potentially dangerous" is just wrong.

Just prefix your functions with something like "dangerous_call", but don't misuse unsafe!
