Ivermectin acts on a receptor that viruses lack, so if there’s an anti-covid use it’s a side effect. Given that humans have a modified form of the receptor target, overdosing had risks of triggering the anti-parasite effect on the one taking the med.

One would think that it’s better to look into meds that are fully shown to deal with covid symptoms (such as steroids or anti inflammatories), the newer anti-virals that have started appearing or one of the many vaccine alternatives. If current luck holds, covid has reached a form that can be (somewhat) safely endemic with risks +/- the various flu possibilities. Although “long flu” isn’t a part of the conversation.

If you’ve chosen to not vax, congratulations on your good fortune! Don’t buy a lottery ticket for a little while longer :-). Might want to work on the selfishness a little, or review your “just rely on others” approach when the next bug comes along.
Do you know how this compares to Microsoft's efforts to scale git via the Scalar [https://github.com/microsoft/scalar] project?
Plus, considerations for things like, can my 4-year-old decipher the controls to achieve what is achievable in the game without excessive frustration? Is the story entertaining enough to keep a kid engaged commensurate with it's cost? Is the game age appropriate? Does the kid talk about the game after having played it? Does it provide food for thought or conversation at all? What are the chances my child will remember this game fondly as they grow?

All of these things and more are the kinds of things that a 40 year old should consider in their review of a game, especially considering that a 16-25 year old game reviewer might miss on them in favor of other aesthetics.
With a generous interpretation, they can be said to break classical thermodynamics, since they quantum physics onto the table, most notably magnets can have negative temperature according to the statistical definition. Nothing that breaks physics at large, but would probably cause Ludwig Boltzmann a mild headache if he heard about it.

It's still not going to allow you to make perpetual motion machines, though.
There is substantial lobbying and corporate media effort that goes into suppressing and silencing talk about unions and spreading bad sentiment wherever possible. This happens even at schools with young children.
Yes, this is a post about a new feature in Litestream though. It allows live replication from a primary node to one or more read-only replicas. It gives you the ability to do scale out reads as well as do geographic replication.

There's a small demo app where you can see a single primary in Chicago (ord) is updated when you click, "Increment", and it replicates out to 15 other regions worldwide via SQLite & Litestream:

The EU did not arrive at those standards together or not implement them from a central authority. If anything, the EU serves as a success story of allowing states to implement their own changes and slowly converge at a target.

The Netherlands and Romania do not need to have a shared approach and timeline for dealing with homelessness. the Dutch can do it specifically because they don't have to get 27 states and 440 million people on board with their policy.

Similarly, Abortion rights vary widely throughout the EU, and are generally more restrictive than the US. This is understood as a state issue, and is not a perpetual wedge issue for EU policy.
The idea was to focus on querying tools. ujson and orjson (as well as the json module from python's standard library) offer json decoding and decoding but not a querying language: you need to implement the query logic in Python, resulting in large programs with lots of boilerplate. Still, I agree that Pandas is an outlier... it was included due to its popularity for querying datasets.

I should mention that spyql leverages orjson, which has a considerable impact on performance. spyql supports both the json module from the standard library as well as orjson as json decoder/encoder. Performance wise, for 1GB of input data, orjson allows to decrease processing time by 20-30%. So, orjson is part of the reason why a python-based tool outperforms tools written in C, Go, etc and deserves credit.
Most things stop being cool when they become mainstream. Tech used to be exclusive to a small group of people who understood it, the hacker counter culture grew from this and for a while gated entry into the tech community. Now tech careers are considered akin to any other good white collar job. You don’t have to have a specific personality to discover it or thrive within it. Its pedestrian now and has be very successfully commercialized.
Episomology aside, a few months after this blog the Brazilian study found improvement with Ivermectin. Specifically, in a setting with many parasites, hospital admissions for respiratory infections were less than expected. The Ivermectin was working; on something other than respiratory viruses.
Which specific experts claim that it will be feasible to avoid a highly contagious respiratory virus for decades? That seems implausible based on what we now about viral transmission. The virus will be around forever, and all it needs is one mistake or a bit of bad luck.
So forest management is now useful?

Just a reminder about what the "fact-checkers" told us about this topic.

I do it, usually when I'm focused and really trying to understand the text. Don't know when I started, feels like it's always been like this.
Sure. "Gold has been an expensive commodity for a very large amount of human history, and few commodities have this property" and "has held consistent value for millennia" are very different claims.
I truly wish they'd at least separate out the whale-seeking IAP or subscription shit into its own section, which I could then totally filter out of my searches. I don't even bother to look at games on iOS anymore, because it's too hard to dig through the scum.

Also just, like, raise their standards. I'd love to see the worst 50% or so of the App Store just vanish.

I’ll reply to this comment on 1st of June just for fun.
For the first little while, almost no matter what, this is a 'good union' because the mere existence of it is positive.

But yes, they can go awry quickly enough.

But even if they screw it up, and even if they are dissolved, they may very well have succeeded in moving the needle on a bunch of critical things.

It'd be great to see them take on Walmart.
If the librarian was paid, the union's position makes a certain amount of sense.

Also, the library is open during school hours, so does the teacher not teach during that time? The school has replaced the lost librarian but is effectively short a teacher now.
I don't think that calculation is quite right. An asteroid on a collision course with the moon doesn't need to hit the Earth in order to avoid hitting the moon -- simply coming close to the Earth will alter its course.
That's awesome and I didn't mean to dismiss this post or anything like that. Just wanted to provide some additional context. Thanks for the details.
Only matters if you're actually using those extra cycles or not. The majority of web servers hover at <10% CPU just waiting for connections.
App Store bundles are a potential solution, especially since developers can now unlist an app so it can't be found unless there's a direct link to it. It's not perfect, but it's a workable approach.

Say you've had FooBarWizard in the App Store for a couple years at 99¢ and want to offer "upgrade pricing" to the all-new FooBarWizard 2 (which will be $1.99).

Add FooBarWizard 2 in the App Store. Publish a new version of FooBarWizard that includes an announcement that "FooBarWizard 2 is now available in a specially-priced upgrade bundle" (a one-time pop-up or something, and then a mention on the Settings screen, for example) so existing customers know about it. Create a bundle in the App Store with FooBarWizard and FooBarWizard 2 priced at $1.99, then unlist FooBarWizard.

The price of the bundle has to be at least as high as the most expensive app in the bundle. The net cost to the user is the difference between the bundle price and what was paid for the original app. So an existing user can buy the bundle and get FooBarWizard 2 for the "upgrade price" of $1. (A "new user" that tries to buy the 2-item bundle that only has 1 item pays $1.99 and still only gets FooBarWizard 2, because the original FooBarWizard is unlisted.)
ClearCase (claimed to) support points two and three way back in the 90s. It never really worked right; it was always trying to "wink-in" someone else's binary, despite the fact that it was built using a different version of the source.
Wireguard is the latest VPN protocol. Check out the Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WireGuard) or it's homepage (https://www.wireguard.com/). Not all VPN providers support it yet (notably Proton VPN), but it is generally faster and more secure than OpenVPN.

It was made by Jason A. Donenfeld.

I'd further add to that, that in this case the criminal was only 21 years old. To be honest it is to be expected to mess up at some point with this much pressure at that age.
Assuming VOO will get bailed out by US government in the event of a decline/stagnation within the timeframe of a few years, then I would go with $10k in VOO over $10k in I bonds every year due to the lower long term capital gains tax rate for VOO as opposed to paying regular income tax rates on interest income with I bonds.
Not currently. Maybe if we see interest rates rise significantly we'll see some attractive rates on 10 year treasuries? I think if the 10 year goes over 6% I'm going to start buying them.
BBEdit is 30 years old today
Getting paper Ibonds this way is also a way to bypass the 10k annual limit for an individual. You can use a tax refund to purchase an additional 5k within the year, enabling a total of 15k per year.
Great for the workers, who seem to want this very much.

One thing tho: according to many comments in this thread, unions are obviously and without any doubt bad. I wonder why so much money goes to union busting agencies then
It is funny how something starts to seem more like speculation when you conveniently throw an ellipsis over the part in which I cite the source where the "speculation" came from.

I wasn't speculating. I was quoting Wikipedia.
>Compare that to Elden Ring, which has difficult boss fights but otherwise isn't any harder than any level of one of those old games.

I haven't played Elden, but for comparison's sake, I haven't had any trouble picking up SMB3 blind nor did I find any of the levels individually more difficult than most high rank monsters in Monster Hunter Rise. SMB1 definitely isn't a difficult game either bar a few specific levels, 8-3 being the most notorious.

The biggest thing I see people struggle with is patient, reactive and/or predictive gameplay. Any game with counter mechanics relying on tight windows showcases this: most people either fail to utilize them or simply don't bother. Let alone emergent counterplay. The other part, you can't just statstick your game through most older non-RPGs, where newer games provide you with many more methods to allow more failure.
> I'm not so sure about it. Did you listen to the interview of Lex Fridman with Brett Johnson? He seems like an intelligent person who could easily get an infosec job and be extremely good at it from UX/social engineering point of view, but he was socialized from being a kid to disregard authority and steal from other people in every possible way.

Be very careful about taking infosec celebrities at face value.

Social engineering is and always has been a core feature of black hat activities. When these people graduate from criminal activities to being keynote speakers and consultants, they take their social engineering skills and use them to build a personal brand.

In other words: You were getting socially engineered through that podcast. Building an aura around himself is his business now ( https://www.anglerphish.com/speaking-consulting ).

His story is interesting and you can't deny that he's become a great storyteller. But even he admitted that he wasn't the strongest on the technical side of things.
Tbh the moment the author thought about hosting yourself anything to serve static pages -> it was already too much effort.

There are free ways to host static pages and extremely inexpensive ways to host static pages that are visited mullions of times per month using simply services built for that.
Nope. Like I said a moment ago[0], it really did just mean ‘free as in speech’, like not-quite-free public transport suggests. Your explanation is certainly very neat and plausible - all the makings of a folk etymology - but it happens not to be correct.

Epik?
This paper doesn't seem to have been submitted to a journal/conference and probably didn't go through a standard peer review process.
The sale will still be recorded, and your visit will be recorded on the security cameras; there is enough information there to associate the purchase with your identity if someone wants to make the effort. This also limits you to buying whatever happens to be in stock—if the store has to order a book for you there will be a record with your name for pickup, even if you pay for it in cash.

Not that your reading habits are really worth investigating. Or trying to hide.
I used Meta's Mercurial, having previously used primarily git (and SVN, and CVS before that). It has a number of very cool improvements over git, and it's well integrated into the rest of their infrastructure.

You know the feeling of having to use SVN after using Git? This is what it feels like to use Git after getting used to Meta's Mercurial. I wish I could go into the details, but I don't know how much of it was ported back to Mercurial.
Excellent point. It can be rewarding to find someone and watch all of their films, for better or worse. And then branch off from an actor, writer or production role (editor, etc) to explore more you won’t necessarily find in a listicle.

Just like books, I guess. :)
> Build system integration

It would be a game changer if any SCM actually manages to achieve this without needing multiple developer teams just for maintenance.

That would probably break gits current dominance within a relatively short timeframe... But I don't think it'll happen within the foreseeable future,
This seems analogous to the weights in a neural network. In training, essential information about the training set is stored in weights and the rest is discarded. You can’t recover a training sample from a trained network.
Buying I Bonds is more about diversification, and / or having a liquid emergency fund that doesn't lose value to inflation (after the 1 year lock up).
This is really not charitable interpretation.

Let's take more charitable one where we know that most of dev newcomers flock to JS and expect JS to have things like left-pad.

While being newcomer is not a bad thing in itself, unfortunately there is a bunch of expectations and things learned in JS ecosystem that are not aging well.

I don't think 'rising bar' is the answer as much as going "No Code/Low Code" is. People that are running companies that depend on newcomers will get what they pay for.

Companies that hire people with experience won't notice a thing.

Since left-pad a lot of people in the trenches of JS are learning that adding any dependency might cost a lot, and now we see more and more of that.
I wasn't being sarcastic.

It's been easy to be encouraged to write about things I am credentialed in, but I want to write about things I'm not. And I hadn't been getting much encouragement in real life that the writing without an appeal to authority would be taken seriously or stand on its own.
Keep in mind that you don't have to pay state income tax on iBond interest which is an advantage if you live in a state with a high income tax.
The decentralized part of Git and Mercurial is nice (eg. no need for Github et.al), but I think most software projects using Git or Mercurial do have a centralized server/hub...
> Not every observable property is available on the "atomic unit". Some only appear (emergent properties) after the association and observation of many such units, that is, in a group.

Name a property of the group that's more than a sum of the properties of the individual. Population, for instance.

The crystal analogy, again, isn't helpful because we're talking about social science, not physics.
Anchor protocol is paying 19.5%.
There's also protecting access to the hardware video codecs, in order to account for licensing fees. They might care about that if the MPEG-LA starts being a dick about it.
What makes the artists fake is that they are publishing only a couple songs for the specific purpose of providing the streaming platform with royalty free music, and then they disappear. The example pictures in the article show artists that have published 6 minutes and 8 minutes of music. There's also a statistic that 20 people created 500 artists. These artists are shells, facades, illusory, fake. Go looking for them and it's a dead end because apparently all the artist did was publish two songs and dissolve.

The author does criticize the title: "Even the term fake artists doesn’t really do justice to the scope of the situation—because, as we have seen, it’s not the musicians, real or otherwise, who are at the root of the situation, but the dominant players in the industry."

If I were to run with it I'd say the streaming platform is also fake. People buy it expecting a curated playlist of music they want to hear, and instead what they get is a curated playlist of music that sounds similar to what they want to hear.

You have to login to some docker repository anyways and know the series of commands to actually run it. Cloning a repo and running a shell script is probably a lot easier and faster than that.

What kind of work are you doing that requires really fast auto scaling? Is a few minutes to spin up a new instance really that cumbersome? Can you not signal for it to spin up a new instance a tiny bit earlier than when it's needed when you see traffic increases?
My only fear is maybe our generation of hackers are old now and cryptocurrency is the place where the naughtiness is happening and we don't take it seriously because we are older.

"Cancel yourself with one terrible take" is a thing that only works on Twitter, I think.

This is really really great stuff. Thank you so much for elaborating!
There's also a fixed yield part of iBond interest. Currently that's 0%, but perhaps it will be something around 0.5% due to the Fed raising rates? That could be an incentive for waiting until May to buy.
Clubhouse begins testing an in-room gaming feature
Movie company marketing for blockbusters 100% revolves around controlling a fandom that will review bomb things while a lot of the general public won't even participate in a RT audience score or IMDB rating.
A pretty-printer for your tiny ML could emit Lua. I mean you even get proper tail calls! It would be a real ML.
Market funds are a very bad place to keep money that might be needed soon. Ibonds provide a safer place to keep funds you might need in an emergency. You should never have emergency funds in the market.

Also, assuming a government bailout will come to the rescue is a pretty risky strategy.
This is easy to get wrong. She says "X bugs me". But to me, X should not have been a big deal, so it doesn't register with me. Maybe she says it again, and I still think it's no big deal. Finally we reach the point where she's crying, and she tells me "X really bothers me". And I realize: "Oh, yeah, she's told me that before..."

So, you know, be smarter than I've been. When she says that something bugs her, don't filter her statement through what bugs you or through what you expect to bug people. Instead, listen.
No, I don't think so. I think they get it largely right.

How many reviews of movies have you seen from a senior, experienced reviewer got a film really totally wrong?

I don't mean "hated a movie that genre fans will like", or "dunked on a trashy movie", because in almost all cases those reviews acknowledge their biases and even the people who like that sort of thing will get the picture.

I mean: really wrong.

In recent years I can think of only one major movie that was seriously misunderstood by a major critic: Cloud Atlas was totally misperceived by Mark Kermode. And even he changed his opinion on a second viewing.

In general I wish other things were reviewed as fairly as films are; too many reviews of things/services are poisoned by motivated reasoning.
Guess the rabbit got caught by the turtle again due to showing off instead of just leading the damn race...
> If I come across code that woefully misformatted, and comments are all over the place, with random whitespace, and zero effort on spelling (in comments or function/variable names), it causes me to think they don't pay attention to details -- that they don't care about their code. I find badly formatted code to be especially jarring with UI engineers, who should have some knack for visual quality.

This is a tooling problem, not a people problem. There's not a language I know that doesn't have at least a tolerably decent formatter and linter out there, and a delightful side benefit of having those in your build chain is the end of style bikeshedding. I find "well, if it means that much to you, you can always open a PR on the style rules," and the knowledge that they'll need to justify their preference - and own all the whitespace PRs, and at least half the merge conflicts, if they wish not to be thought a jerk - quells most folks' desire to fight about their preferred number of spaces or what-have-you.

Without any sort of reliable tooling support for a standard house style, I believe I might well come to regard the kind of insistence you describe as a demand to waste time on pointless busywork. Doubly so, if the person doing the insisting had made no evident effort to find and put into practice such tooling support.
Yep. Getting the initial AST/CST is easy. Going from that to whatever your target is is the meat of the entire project.

Innocent mistake on OPs part I assume. Marvel sold the rights of X-men and Fantastic Four to Fox and Spider-Man to Sony. Paramount made a big mistake not doing anything except being the distributor for set periods of time.
You all are more liberal generally than we are, but I suspect you're not yet as woke as we are (or as we are all expected to be). Is it business as usual in Europe to say someone is racist based simply on the color of their skin? That's the kind of thing we're dealing with here.
