Decriminalization is part of solution, but there's a lot more that needs to be done.

Probably a lot more than two issues here, but two significant ones are that:

1) the real problem is that the drugs are toxic and no one knows what they're taking. Maybe the dose is wrong or maybe it's not even fentanyl, and just a bunch of crazy shit (eg. benzos). The drugs aren't what people expect and people die. The fastest way to end deaths would be to create a safe supply of drugs so people know what they're taking.

2) "Decriminalization" doesn't necessarily mean and end to police harassment, drug confiscation, and related issues that all make life hard for drug users and create barriers to them getting the real help they need.

While under decriminalization you may not end up in jail for having drugs, you are still able to have them confiscated and get a ticket (or summons to some thing), and then you're back at square one, needing to find more money to get drugs again. No wonder petty theft is such an issue in some places.

High policing and confiscation of drugs from drug users just helps the dealers sell more illegal product.

Circling back to point one again, a real safe supply of prescribed drugs handles this issue well in dealing with the money issue. But beyond this if we're going to allow people to have a safe supply of drugs, we also need to let people hold drugs too and not be harassed by police.

Ideally there's not just a safe supply of drugs but also a safe use site as well where medical staff can monitor and help people. These sorts of sites can be touch points where people can build relationships and help people when they're ready to move to some further stage of recovery.
I have 6kWh of LFP batteries in my RV and 990W of solar on the roof. I do bring a generator just in case but only rarely ever use it. Even at 90W I don’t think I’d have power problems, at least not during the summer months.
I don't want to be that guy, but why in the world are f-strings (formatted string literals) called literals? They are clearly dynamically calculated expressions.
On a side note; I really wish there were more of an effort to provide a low bandwidth version of the internet, e.g., methods that allow common web technologies to automatically step down to deliver low bandwidth versions of their content, services, and tools on request.

As someone that grew up on the internet of yesteryear it is really frustrating when, e.g., some google site is once again buffer overflowing all over my browser or some website of low content quality is a bloated 100-200 MB disaster. Does AirBnB really need to be 200MB just to load the homepage (note saying airbnb is the disaster)? I'm just saying.

There is always this lamenting about climate change, while very many types who lament that issue, are often heavily in one way or another involved in an extremely wasteful and inefficient sector ... the internet. What is the energy cost of a 100MB website over a 10MB website? How about GB of wasteful and unnecessary data being served up every single month. I suspect a lot at scale.

To pick on AirBnB again; sure, offer the 200MB site, but how about also making a big deal about offering a low power consumption version for repeat visitors. We are trying to save the planet and such, aren't we? Or is that just for those without private jets?

Just my two cent.
It's a numbers game. 83% of gay men report having more than 50 partners, majority of whom are strangers. 23% report more than 1000 partners. That last stat is hard to believe but this link [0] has many damning publications.

You cannot elevate protected groups above criticism. That's a dangerous privilege and as we see in this instance, condoning this sort of irresponsible behavior puts greater society at risk. Straight people on average are not having nearly as much anonymous sex with nearly as many partners and, ergo, not spreading nearly as much disease.

It's probably a manifestation of sexual dimorphism. The average woman is not as willing to sleep with a stranger. Not sure about how much lesbians get around though.

Now COVID is over I was planning to slowly travel to a few different countries around Europe this summer, and work while I'm there. Internet in certain countries (cough Italy cough) is spotty at best, even when you are in big cities, so having a LTE backup is usually a wise choice.

Although the EU now has 'no roaming charges' there are no providers that let you freely roam to other countries and use your plan exactly as you would at home without restrictions. At home I can get a plan with unlimited calls, texts and data for 15€/mo, but I can only use 10GB of data in other EU countries. After that I need to pay 3€/GB - which will get expensive quickly with the number of Zoom calls I need to be on.

Buying a prepay local SIM is often still a smart choice, but in some countries that's difficult (to actually get the SIM) and prepay plans don't always have unlimited data options. If you need to travel a lot between countries where that's the case, or just want less hassle, the price of Starlink starts to seem a lot more affordable.
Yeah, I don't care about the hassle of having two phones... If you want me to use a business mandated software, give me a phone or another alternative. Work software won't be on my phone.
Ehh if you start to get a lot of people messaging in one channel people will start to tune things out due to the sheer amount of messages. Sort of like banner blindness but for chat.
We've got a few stacks of PDP-11 tape packs at work, and someday I'd like to see what's on them. I've figured my best bet is probably to learn how to fix the original hardware enough to get it functioning, then connect the tape drive to a modern computer somehow to image the tapes. I haven't pursued it further because I'm sure it's all cash register records from the 80s if they're even still intact.
Russia has more nukes than any country in the world. That alone makes them a power to be reckoned with regardless of whether they are a super power by anyone’s definition.
Chances are there is a department in the other arm of the gov't whose job it is to manage those, and who is going to look bad if you fix it yourself, and they'll get angry. Seen it happen.
If you think having a pride flag is something that has a negative impact on my neighbors, you're exactly a fine example of the sort of proto-HOA stasi I hope never gets onto the board of one.

> I quickly realised that trying to accurately replicate my production environments locally was not going to be a happening thing

Sorry I wasn't clear; my production environments are docker and as such yes, trivial to get running locally. My experience was that this was far less useful than expected. The moment I started turning on things like Xdebug and implementing mechanisms to deal with non-production .envs etc etc it became less and less useful for me. I'm guessing there are workarounds for all these kinds of issues (or you wouldn't be a proponent), but I do suspect that if you're developing locally in a 95+% clone of a production docker environment, you are one of very few who have managed it and enjoyed it enough to keep doing it. Which is to say you're a legend :D

> staging

Perhaps I used poor terminology; call it "Test". And the Pi was a poor example also, sorry! I don't run Pi's, and my personal dev circumstances are fairly atypical. However, I do feel it's solid advice to suggest that people:

a) run whatever development environment is most productive for you on a daily basis locally, so long as it closely replicates the production environment at the level your job requires. So as a front-end / back-end developer that means the same PHP/MySQL/Nginx versions etc.

b) run a clone of your production environment on a separate machine (local VM / local tiny PC / second VPS, whatever) for testing

> specific differences and issues you've seen in ARM linux vs. x86 linux

Absolutely none (as you probably guessed); I've never run an ARM server, nor had any issues between native binaries on x86 or M1 and their identical counterparts in production. As you suggested, the issues I typically face (and many like me, I expect) are at a different abstraction level from this; most boiled down to a) service configuration differences eg PHP extensions or b) file system issues (eg permissions & case sensitivity).

Re VirtioFS no, when I still used D4M I ran docker-sync with various strategies. It kinda worked. I then ran VS Code's Remote Containers. It kinda sorta worked. Both were annoying on an almost-daily basis.
But we know that this doesn't just effect gay men and it's an older disease...it is just prominent in gay men. HIV is still to this day far more prevalent in the gay community than any other. You can speak about relevant facts on the ground without being a "bigot," it just means people need to be careful. There is no stigma here.
Until eventually someone invariable has to clean up your mess due to awful choices.

But why should you care?

You've moved on with your trail of collateral damage by then, reaped the benefits and the fixer will subconsciously take the blame for any problems from outside observers.
Issue is, if you're really in the sticks (and therefore no 2g/3g/4g/5g service), you're completely disconnected unless the thing is on, idling away at 50w.

Sure you're not using data while you're sleeping, but you might want to be able to get a call from someone if they really need to get in touch with you. Or other passive tasks where you want to at least take a call/message/email if required.

Even in a residential environment, I've toyed with a timer that cuts my ISP modem and router overnight (and kills smart devices from trying to phone home...) because falling back to 3g/4g saves me ~15 watts, but it's honestly dollars/year of savings.
I think their point is 'and then what happened'. You can't put a company in jail, and no one uses the corporate death penalty anymore it seems. PG&E got criminally convicted, and they just got a fine like they usually do.
Completely agree on #4.

Your experience set isn’t a good match for us, but it will be for plenty of companies and any halfway organized company over about 50 people is likely to readily accommodate your request for reasonable accommodations in the interview process. Many will have fairly fixed bands for comp for their first two industry SWE levels as well, so you’re not as likely to get low-balled as you might fear if you go to a company large enough to have scores of SWE1 and SWE2 employees.
I think it’s more like cross-world latency. Where going from one side of the world to the other will be slower going via fibre optic vs through space as with starlink? I think this is reliant on the satellite-satellite latency being low and the ground to satellite being not insanely high.
Ah, "Undo"... good thinking, it's the Mac way :) I'll put it on my list.
I can only speak for myself, but for me they are devices in search of a purpose. If I'm passively browsing, my phone covers that. If I need to do active work, then I use my laptop. For me, I don't have a need for the small overlap in the Venn diagram.

I think they make great sense in the edu market and other similar scenarios.
The problem with that messaging is it’s hard to take back. Even in 2022, I have straight friends who regularly have unprotected sex with random women and don’t think HIV applies to them because they’re not gay.
Would it be viable to just state that you are hard of hearing and require text based communications? While its not the strict truth, its a much simpler and more understood 'hard' disability, whereas when you state a disability that is perceived as 'soft' (ie any given mental issue neurotypical people assume you can just think through/get over) theres more pushback on you to normalise yourself rather than for them to accommodate.
Pardon? The snake made of corn most certainly does not reflect reality: snakes made out of corn do not exist.

To be fair, no ekranoplane will hit 50kts without turning the engines on.
I suspect the solution to keeping a long story coherent is using the model at different levels of abstraction. A human writer doesn’t sit down and write a complete novel in one sitting. They go through a process of planning, character development, world building and so on. When they write a scene, they’re not holding every detail about the rest of the book in their mind, they’re narrowing down to the details that matter for that scene.

So instead of asking the AI to write a novel in one go, why not guide it through a similar process? At each step, pass in information from previous steps as context, focusing on just the details it needs at that step. Have it generate a summary, then a setting, then characters in that setting, then break the plot into chapters, and then scenes, and so on…
View point from the other side - never heard of this startup with questionable founder creds, mental stability, runway, product and revenue hopes. Wouldn’t bother applying let alone working for them.
Real time adapting viruses are not really something that exists, unless I'm mistaken. They would be very hard to build not least because the problem is poorly specified and would introduce an unpredictable element which is undesirable for a medical therapy.

Yeah using viruses to potentiate anti-tumor immunity is an interesting idea. But returning to my main point, this is creating additional complexities. Most successful cancer therapies tend to do one thing well. Reliable synergy between treatments is actually quite rare. Peter Sorger has published some interesting stuff about this point. The reason combination therapies work better is because it is harder for a cancer cell to be resistant to everything, not because the drugs synergise to kill otherwise resistant cells.

MHC Class I mediated killing is done by effector T cells, not NK cells. Cancers of course learn to turn off peptide presentation via MHC, which stops anti-PD-1 drugs from working. Interestingly many real viruses stop the cells they infect from displaying peptides to escape T cell mediated destruction.

There are already studies of treatments which ramp up the immune response without killing off cancer cells much eg intratumoral STING agonists, mRNA compounds which induce manufacture of chemokines. They don't work that well, so I think the cancer killing capacity of the virus is important. Otherwise there are simpler more 'drug-like' ways to attract more effector cells to the tumor.
You'd have better luck with a GEO satellite like HughesNet, but I'd be surprised if any of them cache user data in nonvolatile storage.
That's a great idea! Some news websites do offer low-bandwidth options, like NPR:

https://text.npr.org/

You also used to be able to interact with Twitter solely through SMS. I think there are two big reasons why this sort of design philosophy is uncommon:

* Addiction to heavy JS frameworks and libraries.

* More bandwidth = more ads.

I don't suppose anything prevents it from doing that, but consider this: Covid19 has infected billions of people. How many times has it mutated? A few hundred, I suppose, with only a few of those mutations having given rise to more infectious variants. That's a few out of billions of cases.
I wish they set up stabilized solar powered buoys that could serve as dumb-pipes between satellites. Maybe the speed would be limited, but I don't think ocean-farers are too picky. Latency should still be better than anything GEO-sat-based.

Obstructions should be limited. But this requires overlapping sats in-view.

“Monkeypox can be fatal for up to one in 10 people and is thought to be more severe in children.”

That is WAY more fatal than COVID
As others have already said, I’m getting some Dwarf Fortress vibes from this.
Not sure what kind of answer you're looking for. As a data point (guy in later 20's not rich/low status) I changed later in college. I used to be this blissfully unaware JA and then became introverted. I miss the younger me in a way because I had this delusional positive optimism and nowadays everything is just sad/bad I'm like a jaded old man. Now that I can build almost anything web-related I don't have the crazy ideas like I used to (which in retrospect where stupid).

Mostly just cringe moments in my life/I thankfully became more self aware. Like all the things I used to post publicly on social media back in the early 2010's.

edit: there is one thing, back then I was barely on the internet. Nowadays I'm like 90% of my life on it, if I'm not sleeping/eating/something else. Not blaming the internet but eventually I will disconnect. Not 100% I just mean do more than write code/sit in front of a computer all day.

I will also note I am the type to conform (people have to like me, prefers upvotes) something I'm trying to get over/be more unique (although not be an AH).

The other thing is letting go of fear, in the future I have to travel this third world country and when that time comes I have to be unafraid/let go. I don't know what will happen then. I'll get liquid/purge my belongings before leaving the country or store some things anyway long term.

It's very noob friendly, just click a few things on a nice webUI.

But as it's a layer doing a bunch of stuff on top of nginx, letsencrypt, etc.. There's more chance of odd bugs or things not working properly.

If you're familiar with Caddy, just keep using that.
Even in AWS Athena is better
40ms latency according to realword reports seems really impressive to me

Will starlink ever have a competitor or will they be free to slowly crank up prices as being become "hooked"? Even a duopoly may not keep prices in check.
Ok, sorry I said "0x89ABCDEF" rather than "0x89 0xAB 0xCD OxEF" to make it clear that it is not "already one quantity", but an ordered sequence of four bytes (though it is how p/x displays it).

How about this way: The decimal number 19088743 is stored in a 32-bit memory word on a big-endian machine. When asked what the four consecutive bytes are, from low address to high, the debugger displays "0x01, 0x23, 0x45, 0x67".

Now, let's put that same decimal number into a 32-bit memory word on a little-endian machine. When asked what the four consecutive bytes are, why does the debugger not display "0x76, 0x54, 0x32, 0x10"? That's what would happen on a truly little-endian hardware system, as used by little-endian human thinkers, expecting a little-endian human display convention. Instead, it displays the weird hybrid "0x67, 0x45, 0x23, 0x01" version. Why aren't the humans who like little-endian not bothered by the fact that the human convention is not completely little-endian, and shows the two hex digits within each byte with a big-endian human display convention?

Or, how about this: We all agree that decimal numbers as currently written by humans follow big-endian conventions. Certainly someone could come along and claim that they preferred little-endian representation for decimal numbers, so that one thousand two hundred thirty four should be shown as 4321 rather than 1234. Great; good luck to them. But if they said that they're actually going to write it as 3412, I hope we'd agree that they weren't really following little-endian conventions for displaying values for human consumption.

So, yeah, I'm complaining that the current widely accepted human convention for little-endian display is not self-consistent and not fully little-endian. And, you're right, it has nothing to do with the actual hardware, which doesn't care how we display stuff.
A complete graph on N vertices has (N^2 - N)/2 edges. A complete bipartite graph on N vertices has <= N^2/4 edges. There are just more sexual interactions possible among non-heterosexuals, and men who have sex with men have more (relatively) dedicated social gatherings than women who have sex with women. The number of people who congregate in a particular event is generally unaffected by population and instead determined by the size of the venue.

Anal sex is a risk factor for certain diseases, particularly HIV, but monkeypox does not require genital contact (or significant fluid transfer) for spread, so it's not clear if condoms would make much of a difference in this case.
>You seem to have got it backwards

Not at all.

>When it's done by whites – or actually, anglophone whites – it's not even called immigration

It's called "gentrification", and it's bad according to the left.

>When others, i.e. non-anglophone non-whites, do it, that is.

When non-Whites do it it's openly celebrated, and more is called for.

You seem to have got it backwards.
What page is the tech investment info on? I mostly see card, lending, and consumer investment strategy
Do you really need a control group for this kind of study? The growth of cancer has been studied for well over a century, with millions of cases; what would a hundred more (to take a random number) tell you? (BTW, this is a real question, not a sarcasm!)
Statistically speaking HIV isn't spreading through everyone else. It's still almost entirely a gay men and intravenous drug user disease. The idea that it's spread to everyone else is part of the mythology that was spread with the intent of getting the attention of the general public to help with funding/research/etc.

A quick search found that 86% of new HIV cases are among men who have sex with men. I couldn't find what % of the population is gay men, but all of LGBT makes up only 3-4% of the population.

There is practically zero risk of HIV to straight people who do not use iv drugs.
