With all due respect, I am not attempting to be rude with you and it would be nice to be afforded the same courtesy.

As bluntly as I can say it - it will be years before we have peer reviewed studies published that detail the effect (or lack thereof) of the vaccines on pregnancy. It is an unknown and to pretend otherwise is dishonest. What we do know, though, is the outcomes of people who have covid stratified by age/race/sex/etc.

What we find is that covid is heavily impacted by age and existing comorbidities. If you look at the mortality rate stratified by age alone, you will see drastic outcome differences between < 40 women and > 60 women. To suggest that an injection is always better than possible infection, when we know the outcomes of possible infection on the average person in the 'having a child' demographic, seems disingenuous.

Losing a child is a hard thing, losing a child in the womb is hard as well. Trying to have a child before age takes it from you is difficult. Some of us have went through this pain. To laugh off the risks in a group that was not well tested during the vax approval process does not really make me feel good.

Hamster Wheel workstation? This sounds compelling...

But does PIL actually implement any of those image formats, or is it simply wrapping other libraries in the python/c api?
That seems like an unhelpful way of thinking about it. I always think about it as "I make X per Month. This thing costs Y per month. Is Y/X a reasonable amount of money to spend on a thing?"

By your logic, I earn "just $N per month" so I'll earn infinite money unless I'm fired. That's obviously not a useful way to budget, but neither is thinking about $5/month as "costs infinite money".

If, after taxes and mandatory expenses I have $500/month left over, then the proposition "Should I spend 1% of my discretionary money on this?" is a much more reasonable way to think about things until your financial situation changes. If I lose my job, or take a pay cut, then it's obviously time to consider cutting back unnecessary expenses, but otherwise, it's as "infinite" as my income.
I am 49yo, male. I'm healthy, but mildly overweight. I was very fit prior to the lockdowns (Melbourne, Vic, Australia), but I lacked the disciplinary wherewithall to maintain that fitness over the past couple of years.

I have chosen not to receive any Covid19 vaccinations and so I am "unvaccinated".
I thought it was never going to happen, but eventually I contracted covid19, over Easter period this year. I too experienced myalgia, a mild fever. I also had a sore throat for about 2 days. I didn't completely lose my sense of smell, but coffee (for example) didn't taste great. Same with wine. That anosmia, such as it was, persisted for a week or two.

But that's it really. It was all over in about 2.5 days. I would not describe what I experienced as "harsh". I've had Influenza, and that was harsh. Sat me on my arse for a solid week. But not this. By day 4, I was doing household chores and more or less back to normal (mild anosmia not withstanding).

So, YMMV. :-)
There's also WinCairo for Windows. https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingCairoOnWindows

But unfortunately they don't provide binaries, so you have to build from source.
Rust isn't any less "free" than Debian. If you forked Debian, you also would need to change the name, due to the trademark.
> but nobody really cared to look at the impact on menstruation or pregnancy beyond confirming that the rate of miscarriage is unchanged.

It's hard to blame them for not spending a ton of time before approving the vaccine considering safe changes to menstruation when they were working to do something about the dead bodies which were piling up so quickly they had to be stacked into semi trailers and dumped into mass graves. People were dying in vast numbers and we needed something safe and effective at preventing those deaths and the vaccines were exactly that. Safe and effective.

Obviously, they were very much concerned with pregnancy and miscarriage. A vaccine that makes people infertile or causes them to miscarry would never have been approved, but it's pretty reasonable that every possible impact wouldn't be noticed and deeply studied before getting it out to people.

Especially those side effects that only impact women since women (especially pregnant women) tend to be underrepresented since they're much more hesitant to enter drug trials in the first place leading to limited data. You can't blame the women for that. If it's unknown if a drug has a negative impact on fertility signing up to try it out on your body or your baby is taking a huge risk. The FDA's policy used to be to exclude women from the earliest trials to protect them for this reason, but that too caused problems to be missed. Adding women in early means it's more likely that a problem that affects only a small percentage of women will be caught, but there are no certainties.

For what it's worth, the menstruation issue wasn't ignored by science either. Covid infection also causes changes to menstruation and there was some evidence and concerns that infections may impact fertility in some cases. All of this has been looked into as reports came in. That's the process working. Vaccines are shown to be likely safe so they go out to the public, then doctors and patients continue to report issues that arise to gather data on side effects.

Some early papers about the impact of the vaccines on women (and pregnancies) include:

i use a hottop 2k roaster, got it for $600 on craigslist, and get green coffee from sweet marias.

so far it's the best cost/return i've gotten yet!
how much water are you drinking to have to pee every 30m?
Good advice - I think if I approached streaming apps as a means to watch something that I already have chosen to watch, and less as a means of finding something to watch, it would be a more purposeful activity and thus wouldn't feel like something that ends in frustration.

For gaming, there's an added dimension every time I browse my Steam library in that I need to consider not only whether I'm in the mood for each game, but also how long it is, how are checkpoints spaced out, does it have complex mechanics or story line that I would have trouble following if I took a break for a few weeks, etc.

I have identified that starting a new game is the hardest part for me - getting past the tutorial phase, getting into the mechanics and game loop - it always feels like a bit of a chore (that hopefully turns into something fun, eventually). So, just not worrying about it until I can block off a good couple of "work days" to get into it isn't a bad idea.

I should probably give in to YouTube play-throughs more often though. I used to avoid them because I didn't want to spoil the game if I intended to play it some day myself, but realistically I could probably gain a lot of what I'm looking for with less stress this way.
Good old "Moo U".

I decided to use JPEG 2000 to save disk space on my photo archive a decade ago... huge mistake.

DigiKam and many other programs don't support them natively.

At some point I'm going to have to write a script and convert them all to normal jpegs.
Last release was 13 years ago, and it was archaic even then.
Honeycrisps disagree with you.

“Our investigation found that more recently released commercial apple varieties have better storage capabilities, contain more soluble solids (sugars) and have less phenolic content. Recent efforts to improve our apples have been focused on keeping fruits fresh for longer and making them taste sweeter. With the expansion of global food markets and our growing preferences for sweeter tastes, these changes are indicative of the desires of modern society.”

My wife and I explain how much privacy that they should expect (not much) and stick to that. This entails playing their Roblox games occasionally and reviewing their browser history.
It's not really that substantial if you're making 170k/year, which isn't an insane salary for a software engineer in the US.

Yep you’re right! My example was done with a CNAME on a subdomain (replaced the domain for privacy), and most providers provide flattening so I didn’t even think about it! I’ll update the copy to mention that.
I watched Raw a few times, and it is good, but I much prefer Eddie Izzard for example. I watched both decades ago (sometimes re watch them) and I can only remember one joke from Raw (where he makes fun of Bill Cosby), while Izzard's routines live in my head to the point I can recite them without hints.

There are amazing America and British stand up comics, I'm a bit out of the game recently, but oldish (80s and 90s) stuff from both sides of the pound were amazing (I loved Bill Cosby and Woody Allen stand up records for example but never had a chance to see them on tv as there were no recordings (one of Cosby I watched actually, and think audio only was better)
Easy solution: Assign all accounts a unique and randomly generated ID, and allow everyone to then use the handle they want. If someone wants to write a @handle in a post or a comment, a list shall appear, asking them to choose the account they wish to link to. IDs shall be public, and the list shall present itself as something like "@Max 36hf28bcd ; @Max 9jv1tcsh ; @Max b63avg960"

I was being partially serious - now that you mention it, between this project's ability to show my time spent watching something, and my phone's app usage, I could probably figure the difference to be the time spent browsing vs watching, which might actually be an interesting metric to track.
One thing I don't see the article mentioning is how rigid Egyptian culture and society was from 3000 BC up to the time of Alexander the Great.

The Narmer palette is the classic example of how the artistic style sprung up almost fully formed in just a few hundred years. After that, it all was just minor variations on the same theme.

It's similar to how many modern banks or courthouses have greek columns: when there is cultural continuity, some styles just live on after they reached maturity until the entire culture is wiped out.

What Genetic Engineers Can Learn from ‘Jurassic World’
I do wish we could just pay modest fees for membership in sites like Facebook. But I doubt they'd be willing to try that approach... or that we'd be willing to support it (even for useful services that haven't burned their ethical reputation like Facebook has.) As a society, we really need to learn that our expectation of free services tends to create inferior services, many of which eventually succumb to perverse incentives.

On a related note, it was discouraging when Facebook used to say, "It's free, and always will be!" on it's login page. I read that statement as a threat.
I hoped it was a follow up on yesterday's comment on this. Thanks for sharing, Mr misterdata!
you can go read a book for the answer, dawn of everything, I won't try to discuss with you
This is akin to dropping off your kids in Times Square NYC with a twenty. I'd rethink it.

The privacy you mention does not exist online. All the "good spots" are run by surveillance capitalism in bed with the government. Kids need privacy from these entities, not privacy from their parents until mid-late teens.
Let's translate the analogy back to the physical world. Imagine you go to the mall to meet friends and simply avert your eyes / otherwise ignore all the advertising displays scattered throughout. Is that unethical?

Just like Facebook, the mall is a privately owned public space that costs money to maintain. However, I don't feel like avoiding the ads is unethical at the mall, so what would make it unethical in the digital world?
Why was it a huge mistake? There are decent libraries that support it. Did it just not work with your cloud setup or OS libraries?
He was the same. Covid kicked his ass though.
And don't flip out too much when you catch them learning to avoid the control. That's an important lesson for them to learn, because once they're grown and out of the nest, the people trying to control, monitor, and limit their access to information are not doing it for the victims' benefit.
I'm surprised too and a lot of their subscriptions seem to fall under the category of leisure/entertainment. Are people really that bored to spend that much on these services. It's even cheaper to start a new hobby.

Many companies are reluctant to say why you’ve been declined for fear of a discrimination lawsuit. Most simply ghost. It’s a terrible practice, but unfortunately common.
I never said all the power, but the fact that you'll be the one getting paid in a divorce, rather than the one doing the paying, certainly makes divorce a more economically attractive option to you than to your breadwinner partner.
On a sidenote: Can anyone recommend decent quality LED strips on Aliexpress or Ebay (I'm not in the US)? Points of interest would be:

* reproducable (when buyin two 10m strips of the same product, LED colors should match)

* lean (I read some reviews (Amazon), where the buyer experienced one or two LEDs in the strip having a different color temperature)

* etc.

I mainly want to equip the bottom edge of the kitchen cupboards with these, so I have better lighting, when cooking on the cutting board below them. I don't need animation, just good light, ideally in different color temperatures and hues (dimmable). Thanks.

> When is monoethnic team building praiseworthy?

The fact that a team is monoethnic is in itself not necessarily a good or bad, and thus not in itself "praiseworthy" - and yet people are constantly praised for building non-monoethnic teams as if that is a good in itself. A team should be measured by their meeting of objectives/goals rather than on their ethnic makeup.

Basically I think it comes down to freedom of association.

> How do you distinguish "deliberately monoethnic" from "apartheid"

Apartheid is characterized by for example withholding of human rights from a group based on race. Being hired onto a specific team is not a human right. Building a "deliberately monoethnic" team is distinguished from an "apartheid" in that the former is not withholding of human rights from a group based on race. I would argue that freedom of association is a human right - one which is being withheld from those particularly in the west.

We also make infinite income, given infinite time, and spend an infinite amount on every purchase category, including one-time purchases. :)

Impressive! I did a x4 upsize and it did a pretty good job. Definitely better than photoshop alone. It has issues but maybe I can fix them with photoshop. Thx!
This isn’t my experience of running old VC++ projects. They usually end up with some weird linker errors because they embed a hardcoded DLL or something which was compiled with an old version of visual studio or something. You get a lot better at fixing these errors with experience, but I’ve lost count of the number of hours I’ve lost noodling with this stuff to compile some old code.

Speaking of progress, I adore this improvement in modern languages. C#, Swift, Rust and nodejs all have officially defined project configuration alongside the source code. I expect to be able to “cargo run” any of my rust programs in 50 years from now just as easily as I can today.
It sounds like this controversy could be solved if Mozilla registered Rust as a certification mark and reserved trademark use for their own Rust stickers, shirts, and other swag.

Just incase anyone is looking for one - I'm building a coffee community(open community) on Telegram.

No, normally a political party that sends a large amount of unsolicited e-mail would quickly have their email delivered to bulk.

Now it’s up to each user to mark the email as spam / click unsubscribe.
I do the opposite. Always wipe all history whenever browser is closed, never sync anything, and never prompt to store passwords. I find it much more manageable.

Passwords go in the password manager.

Instead of history I use tagged bookmarks or a notes file (obsidian.md) with actual notes about why I wanted to save that link.

If I actually ever want to sync anything between work and home PC or to/from my phone (rare), it's an explicit choice to plug into USB and drag it over, or intentionally put it in dropbox. Not just something that just randomly implicitly happens or sometimes doesn't.

But different strokes for different folks.
Your trivally easy remark seems handpicked. look at some of the other homes in that area. None of them have performed like that.

Of course there are differences. But, with a very few exceptions, none of those differences make one product objectively better than the others.
If we discovered a free and unlimited source of energy would people argue we shouldn't use it because it's stealing?

I see more mental gymnastics in justifying the old payment models when we've invented an almost free and unlimited way to distribute media, than in telling people to torrent stuff.
Define "very wealthy" for me on this? Because I'm looking at some of these and going "so that's 50 cents per day. Seems ok for something I use daily". Sure, if I was making 30k/year I'd be reconsidering things, but if you're software engineer in the US, 2000/year isn't an insane amount of money to spend on essentially a full ecosystem of products and services for their phone, desktop, and work computer for them and their family.

Not to mention that the point of the entire article is that they found out they weren't getting satisfactory value from all of them and cut back some! I feel like half of y'all read the post and thought it was a brag about how rich they were instead of a mea culpa about how they realized they were spending too much.
Be alert to the language issue when considering Quebec as this significantly impacts life in the province. If you are a francophone or able to pick up French Quebec (particularly Montreal) can be a great place.
I still like cheap coffee--my go-to morning brew is pre-ground Folgers because it's so cheap and I drink a lot in the morning. It's just like beer IMHO, just because you've tried and like certain types or brands doesn't ruin everything else. It just increases my appreciation for when I do find or want something a little more special.
Coal was filthy but very cheap. Not as cheap as the sunlight that made it, but cheap.

Uranium isn't cheap. Sunlight (=> wind) is free. Safe nuclear plants (hypothetically) are very, very expensive. (And have to be shut down regularly for weeks for servicing.) Nukes are much, much more expensive than windmills ($10B/GW vs $1B) and solar panels (which retain 93% efficiency after 20+ years). Then there's safe storage of dangerous waste vs. little (non-dangerus) waste.
I've considered myself "not a morning person" for a while now, but maybe just making sleep the priority at night and attempting to trade that time for a movie or TV show in the morning might be worth a try.
Even for a subdomain, having CNAME and TXT records on the same name isn't supposed to be okay; normally you'd work around it by reading the TXT record off an other unlikely-to-be-used subdomain of the name you're putting a CNAME on.
I don't think disposable vapers are legal in Europe? I've never seen them, certainly not lying in the streets. At least here in Barcelona.

Besides being exceedingly, aggressively negative and paranoid, this also doesn’t make sense at all. Why would they build this niche thing, make it explicitly privacy-focused, and target it to an audience who surely will notice any abuse?
An infinitely recurring payment shouldn't be thought of as costing infinite money, even though that's what you'll pay over time. The later payments aren't worth as much as the payments today because the money today can be invested. It turns out that the value of money decays exponentially over time, and the total value of the money paid is an infinite series that converges to P/r, where P is the payment and r is the applicable interest rate.

So a never-ending subscription of $100/yr is worth about 100/0.03 = $3333 total today (assuming you would have invested the money in something like a 5-year treasury bond instead). Still a lot, but not infinite.

Instagram and Twitter afik the only social media sites that have valuable handles
I didn't say being a middle man is worthless, by definition they provide value by making transactions more convenient. Netflix could have continued to focus on this actual advantage it had -- building its partners / clients (studios) to provide streaming services with a convenient single point with the customer and economies of size and scale. If they had charged a small price commensurate with the service being provided to studios, on reasonable terms, and had not attempted to fund a direct competitor to their clients, they quite probably could have continued being a great distribution service. But they didn't, they threw that away trying to fund a studio startup for some strange reason.
Yup they do a great job. I guess human emotions are the same across the board. I think the reactions...of confusion, surprise, anger, fear etc seems to be what gets the laugh. The more unexpected it is the bigger the laugh. For me atleast.

Another interesting thing about pranks is how quickly the brain resets from excited state back to normal as soon as some one says 'there's the camera'. It should probably be used more to stop wars and stuff.
