No.

Using Taiwan to make this claim is incorrect-- or insufficient-- in at least two ways. Also keep in mind that I said for all practical purposes, which is very different than theoretically possible. But taking things one at a time:

1) Taiwan has failed to continue it's early accomplishments. It has now has had hundreds of thousands of cases. I'll preemptively address a to this that Taiwan's current cases are a separate topic from it's initial success. This is not an unreasonable point, though I myself do not think they can be separated. A discuss there however seems outside the scope of my response to you.

2) Taiwan was uniquely suited for it's early effective response to COVID. It had learned the lessons from prior scares such as 2003 and put excellent measures in place to to respond to future issues. It was only able to succeed early in the pandemic because of actions taken years earlier.

In the context of my comment it is unreasonable to deny my claim on the basis that, had the entire world 10+ years earlier acted differently that Taiwan's success could have been replicated. I clearly made "initial outbreak" the context of my comment while Taiwan's success was rooted in far far earlier actions. The actions listed in your linked article were only so rapidly possible due to that decade long preparation.

You might reasonably claim "had the rest of the world followed Taiwan's example 10+ years earlier..." But that would not be a contextual response to my comment. At the initial point of outbreak, especially with early cases in Italy traced back to 2019 & what we know of asymptomatic cases and spread rates, my claim stands: it may have, in any practical sense, been impossible at initial outbreak to have stopped things in their tracks. (I am open to further discussion that I may be wrong, but the example of Taiwan is not sufficient to demonstrate that)

The sociopolitical situation in some areas would quite literally have made it impossible as well. In the US for example even the patchwork response by states, often less extreme in restrictions than other areas of the world, prompted sporadic violence including a number of murders over simple mask requirements-- a strict policy in Taiwan that is credited with it's early success. IIRC there was at least one such murder in Germany as well.

Finally: I will concede that worldwide response was spotty and inconsistent and that a better job could have been done.
I see, thanks for the information. I often stack 10+ commits, so I don't think your workflow would be reasonable for me. (For example, here, I have 11 finished commits and 3 in progress: https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless/pull/451 — but I don't actually use stacked PRs on Github, particularly if no one is reviewing my code. Most of my stacking is at work with Phabricator anyways, which handles this better.)

It's not saying much to be honest. I find myself fast forwarding through any scenes that don't take place off planet.

Severance, Dr. Brain, Defending Jacob, and WeCrashed were the only good shows I found on Apple TV+. That said those are all extremely good.
Not really surprising. Perl approaches a domain specific language for text processing with a heavily-optimized 34 year old implementation.
a quote from the system: "Adam and Lilith began to fight. She said, 'I will not lie below,' and he said, 'I will not lie beneath you, but only on top. For you are fit only to be in the bottom position, while am to be in the superior one.' Lilith responded, 'We are equal to each other inasmuch as we were both created from the earth."

That's just a few seconds of clicking around in systems like this. It's like surfing with a fucking jetpak.

Spend a few minutes with the demo and try to, "feel" the concept. I would pay huge amounts of money to have all my research materials, "Xanadu'd." (Anyone looking to be hired?)
Seems like this a pretty nice read-only filesystem.

Shame that it can't be used much commercially in many cases due to GPLv3 license. This could improve so many embedded systems currently using SquashFS.

Not trying to call cycling a full body workout, but it definitely does more than just biceps and back. What about legs? Heart? Lungs?
> Whenever you normally use some programs with other options than their defaults, it is simpler to define aliases for those programs.

I don't buy into this. These aliases tend to come at the cost, or at least the risk, that your workflow breaks when you are at another computer or working on a shell on some server that doesn't have this alias. That's why I like additional aliases, like l for ls, but with your favorite options. But I dislike aliases that change default behavior - and often in an intransparent way.

I'll agree with you that there's greed and incompetence all over Texas's politicians and state management. But it isn't unique to Texas. We have a widespread societal problem with our electrical grid that transcends state lines.
I doubt it. I recently moved to Olympia, a city of 50k people an hour south of Seattle -- two hours with normal traffic. According to Zillow the typical home is now $540k -- up 18% from a year ago. Up from $340k two years ago. How much further do I need to drive? How much less desirable does the area need to be?
Any reason why you haven't upgraded? I keep an old Kindle around as well, but just for having a physical Kindle registered to my account so that I can download the books I purchase and remove the DRM. All my actual reading is done on a Kobo.

At some point Amazon sent me an email that my Kindle would soon lost storefront access and offered me some kind of voucher for an upgrade (like 30% off and a $40 ebook credit). Surely with all that you could've grabbed a new model during the Prime Day sales for next to nothing?

Even with a standing desk you can have issues from doing nothing but one thing for too long. I've had a PT recommend I take a break to stretch my wrists, walk around, and focus my eyes to infinity every 20 minutes or so. I bet almost no one is bothering with that; its no wonder so many people have chronic pain when they've spent their entire life being generally inflexible, sitting for long periods of time in a small handful of positions, and hardly ever walking around.
But in no case is it the bikers fault.

If the road is allowed for bicycles, the cars have to take care not to run them over. Most roads are perfectly safe for bicycles, it's the cars that isn't safe for them. Best is to plan a city so you can bicycle wherever you need to, this leads to less cars in the city which is good for you that need your car to get home.

Glad that worked out for you. The ulnar nerve issue is no joke. I compressed both of mine on my first 4h ride. It took 2mons to get back to guitar with special clip picks and more bike fit knowledge and strength training than I expected.

Even finding a diagnosis was a struggle.
Good point.

I am not exaggerating when I say that the average American SJW/Redditor sincerely believes that slavery has existed in only one country in the world's history: in the United States, involving Africans. The etymology of the word "slav"? Brazil? Haiti? Guadeloupe? North Africans (as you note) enslaving Europeans? Vikings taking thralls? Feudalism? Never heard of 'em.
We see pro-abortion activists in the US arrested during protests. We've seen anti-abortion activists murder doctors. We've seen Q-Anon supporters arrested for their attempted coup. We saw anti-nuclear activists jailed for their vandalism (famously including a nun). We've seen eco-terrorists and anti-vivisectionists sent to jail.

Some suffragettes broke the law, deliberately and in public, and the more militant suffragettes committed vandalism, set off bombs, and more. One thousand suffragettes were in jail. Many of these prisoners went on hunger strikes.

I don't think any of these people would have been dissuaded by fines and community service.
> This wasn’t a problem until a woman with several foster children (I know this because she told me? I assume she was trying to virtue signal to me what a great person she was) moved into our neighborhood.
One day she came to our house with our daughter in tow, telling us “it isn’t safe” and other nonsense.

I don’t think anybody here has commented that the fact this woman fosters is actually directly connected to the fact that she reported you.

It’s indicative of how broken the whole system is that the training to be a foster parent declares things like letting a 7-yo walk alone to be unsafe.

Note that these are some of the same social workers that could be checking up on you when CPS is called. Thus, it is only a happy accident that there weren’t charges filed against you.

> If an anti-cheat manages to stop all client-side cheating - it has already won. Requiring a hardware device to be shipped / being unable to start cheating right after a quick online purchase will deter most of the people that are considering purchasing cheats

No anticheat, kernel mode or not, has come even close to that. The situation has remained mostly unchanged for at least a decade now.

It’s the cheat developers who have an opportunity to seriously demoralize anticheat developers, not the other way around. The proliferation of DMA cheats will make any time spent fighting software based cheating significantly less valuable.

I always think it's weird how instead of just improving public transit, we've all become fixated on self driving vehicles. Good transit would mean most people don't need to operate a vehicle while having a plethora of other benefits like combating climate change and more efficient land use (if you live in a suburb, take note of the sheer amount land dedicated to parking; it's often more land than the store for retail).

The problem is kind of similar to people who insist on some overly complicated microservice architecture when a monolith would be a much better fit. I actually hope that self driving technology stagnates, at least until we can start designing cities for people and not just cars.

I live near where the accident occurred and there is definitely sufficient population to support alternatives to driving.

If your wife would tell you are mediocre compared with the guys she meets, would you still be "open" to the open relationship?
Wouldn't it not be a nudge because it outright changes the unspoken costs? If the public is largely apathetic about what happens to their bodies post death, if the situation would leave them viable having to take an action vs inertia is an added costs. This could make deciding "not worth it" for low rewards, let alone preferring not to think of the possibility of their own demise.
Basically describes my experience too.

One thing that was amazing about this time is that even a 10yo (as I was) could understand almost everything that was going on in those machines (in a functional way, if not the finer details). Then as we grew up the programming world became more complex, and we were able to track that complexity as it happened.

I don’t envy new programmers today who have to contend with vast complexity even to do the simplest of things.
That’s not what I’m saying at all. My comment is a meta comment about why we even need to write grand defenses of these practices in the first place. I’ve been “stacking PRs” forever… when it makes sense to do so. There’s no golden git usage pattern. I’ve seen the industry all the rave about gitflow. And then it wasn’t cool anymore with tags being the preference. Now it’s cool to just forgo branch names entirely? I’ve watched teams fight over whether every PR should be exactly one commit because they don’t realize that you don't always have to squash merge if you want two unrelated changes pulled in at the same time—just keep the commits clean and revert doesn't care. My point is that if you know how to use the tool none of this really matters and all seems quite distracting. I no problem with people sharing what works for them, that’s great (as is this article, abstractly).
S3 is just a protocol. Minio is one example of software which implements this protocol. You're programming against S3, using amazon SDK, but you change endpoint to another provider and it just works.

I guess it wouldn't work for all the intricacies, but for commonly used stuff it works.
I suppose so... Not sure about the second part but for the first part I think that comes from the idea that I don't think we've ever empirically or even subjectively observed the universe in any other state than "now". We've never personally nor in a scientific experiment observed any physical system being in more than one state, and that one state has to by definiton be in the "now" (Unless I am mistaken).
So the past and the future states are essentially nowhere to be found in empiricism ?

As for the "here" part I am not sure how to respond to that but it sounds right - any observer has to have contact in some direct way (whether with a scientific instrument or not) to the thing physical system he is observing and as such claiming anything about anything indirect or far away is very hard if not impossible so you get the "here".

it's not in standard linux kernel(unlike squashfs) plus it is less field tested comparing to squashfs, more importantly I too avoid GPLv3 in any commercial product. Anything GPLv3 will be off my check-out list for anything immediately because I honestly don't know what GPLv3 really means to me. I use GPLv2 cautiously wherever it fits as I feel at least I know what it implies.

She would have been fired for this sort of thing at most large companies without getting approval first.

If they didn't have an explicit policy before hand though, then firing her over this was definitely a step too far.

I've had similar issues and started with simply lying down and holding my head a few mm off the ground and holding for 10 - 30 seconds. You may have to begin with only a few seconds if your neck is very weak and build up very slowly.

Beyond that simply doing more exercise helped, I stopped focusing on my neck specifically after the initial stage. Swimming is great since it reduces load.
Sure, I’m not criticizing the science, and the varying amount of protection is an interesting and useful metric for managing the disease. The basic fact that there’s immunity for previously effected people which declines based on genetic distance of the variants though is not surprising and people even in this thread act like it is.

> I wonder if he has hard data about how often people look at his documentation.

Context: He works for RAD Game Tools, now a subsidary of Epic Games, and worked on the Oodle data compression suite for a long time. As such I believe there were tons of direct customers who would contact him and other team members whenever things went hairy. (There were no free version of Oodle so every user is a paying customer or sometimes an evaluator.) Therefore I guess he does have some data but no hard numbers.

Interesting madeleine cookie
It becomes the developer's problem when the players are quitting the game because cheaters are ruining it though. And also the player's problem who want to play a game without cheaters.

For example, BattlEye started out as 3rd party anti-cheat for Battlefield Vietnam because the players wanted better anti-cheat. Similarly Face-IT and ESEA run their own anti-cheats that are opt-in and not part of the developer's game.

The ones I look up every single time off the top of my head are:

# undo commit
git reset --soft HEAD~1

# unstage
# was git reset HEAD --
git restore --staged

I created aliases for most of the common ones, like deleting old branches:

# https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2003505
nuke = "!f() { git branch -D $1 && git push --delete origin $1; };f"

Others like checkout/switch have been fixed, but I still use my aliases from ten years ago so haven't really updated.

A few times I tried the rebase workflow geeks are always pushing. They are never around when disaster strikes, so I don't bother any more. At least merge+squash works every time.

Notice that commands like git status tell you what commands to run to fix issues; the typical user would never guess. Hg wasn't perfect but it had a lot fewer of these issues.

Have any of the ebooks included any serious math? I see that MathML is the expectation, but I wonder if the rules around the math aren't just ignored because of the rest of the culture around which books are selected and worked on.

Indeed, in academic writing I never see MathML used in an HMTL setting, it's always MathJax or KaTeX. For your purposes this is probably fine, but imagining if someone wanted to author a high quality math textbook following the same standard I would wager they'd run into a brick wall

You aren't going to pinch a nerve from riding the bike 30 mins to work or the store, especially considering with commuting biking you are standing up off the pedals stopped pretty frequently.

Traffic accidents sure are bad but you can identify safe routes. For example I avoid arterials and opt for those 25mph residential roads that run parallel, and those are extremely safe. The number of cyclists that have died last year in my city of some 4 million people is also about a dozen people, and its not clear whether confounding factors were involved (e.g. alcohol or drugs or lack of helmet or nonddevensive/lack of awareness biking given the not so small homeless population that rides bikes in varying states of sobriety in my city).
