The Portuguese Space Agency (yes, there is one, Go Portugal) recently ran a competition for teens to fly with Air Zero G. Thirty kids, including my son (majority were girls), shipped out today for the Air Force base at Beja. They fly on Friday.
The lack of visuals (in the…section blocks, not sure what to call them) on mobile are at first scroll making it harder to find content, can’t scroll and easily see a story is iOS, hardware, etc related without the image and (2) difficult to distinguish what’s an article vs. a 3 line comment.

It’s a major shift for sure, will be interested to see how my time with the site adapts.
There is a correlation and in this case it is more or less the entire story.

>7 times less area was affected by forest fires in the region this year compared to 2021. This is inside scoop but you can easily verify it by checking particulates/CO data using nullschool's earth. Last year smoke covered area the size of Oregon or something and persisted for weeks.

"There had been very few fires" is just not catchy news, who would like or comment?

I saved a password in Chrome on Android.

Went home, logged into the same website from my desktop. Chrome offered to log me in.

My unprofessional conclusion - Google could not have encrypted my password in a way that would have prevented them from logging in as me on another device.

As an aside, I was logged into GMail on the desktop, but I couldn't recall having logged into Chrome. If correct, than once you have logged into a Google property, all is fair game on any other sites you visit.
Nearly every country in Europe has been invading its neighbors for centuries, that’s what normal looks like in Europe. In fact some countries liked invasions so much, that they invaded countries all over the world.

Joining NATO is not at all only up to the countries which apply. The US is more or less the game maker, with big countries like Germany, France, the UK etc. also having an important voice.

It’s not unexpected that the former Warsaw Pact countries would want to join. It is surprising to see the US being so short-sighted to allow these expansions considering that several of its own diplomats and foreign policy experts were warning against it.
"Please keep funding us, we're doing important work!" is a pretty standard sentence you see in some variation or other in most medical studies.
Having tried to use Scala only indirectly via a DSL and having given up for various build issues, I thought it was only due to my ignorance of the system.

But having said that, this paragraph jumps out as completely perplexing:

"We’re left with the Scala FP communities, which yield awesome libraries and are awesome people, but the ecosystem is essentially a microcosm of the US political landscape. I’m guessing all programming communities are turning to this nowadays. As an Eastern European, however, it kind of pisses me off."

Please don't tell me there are political camps in FP now.

> For example in the Pfizer trials there were more deaths overall in the vaccinated arm than the unvaccinated arm i.e. RCT evidence = no mortality benefit.

> Governments are highly reluctant to split these deaths out by vaccine status, but the increase seems mostly attributed to heart and blood clotting related deaths.

[citation needed]
DESCRIBE <verb> <path> or EXPLAIN <verb> <path> would be nice, but GraphQL already does this better.
I disagree, statistics demonstrated that the death number largely decreased among vaccinated.
As such to me "forcing" vaccination is legit if it saves more people than it harms, it's for the greater good.

Personally I don't want to risk my life because my neighbour is not vaccinated, but on the other hand no one is preventing my neighbour from relocating to an isolated hut on the top of a mountain and avoid any contact with anyone if he/she does not want to get vaccinated. But as long as my neighbour wants to live in a city then he must comply with the decisions of the majority of people, who, at least in my country, rushed to get vaccinated as soon as possible.

It's the same with politics: sometimes politicians are elected which I don't like, so I can either accept the decision of majority of electors and live with that, or I can move to another place. What I can't do is decide that I refuse to comply with a law because it was enacted by a government that I don't like or didn't vote.
Isn’t “unknown cause of death” skyrocketing?

Or maybe like measles in 10 years time loads of people who caught it "naturally" will drop head from an incurable encephalitis that kills them.

We just don't know, so we make reasonable guesses. Consider the harm we see happening weight then more against the unlimited possibilities of harm we can imagine.

People were by and large happy to have a new vaccine today and risk some unpredictable future risk than die of a disease they saw killing people.

I think some people just can't wrap their heads around balancing these kind of risks.
When I'm in comparing mode, I use two "hacks":

1. If you compare yourself and envy someone, consider what you specifically envy. Then consider whether you are willing to change EVERYTHING with that person to get that one thing. Their parents, their childhood, their spouse, and so on. I always say no and move on.

2. Instead of comparing yourself upwards, compare yourself downwards. We frequently envy people who are more successful, wealthy, intelligent, and so on. But how many people envy you? How many people are actually less successful, less wealthy, or less intelligent? Most of the time it helps to calm me down.

I am going to leave age out of it as I don't participate in the "fuck-em they're over the age of 55" mentality.

The incident of death does increase substantially past 55, however people died at all ages during covid, so we know more infections = more deaths across the board.

Given that the vaccine available at the time resulted in around a 85% reduction in likelyhood of infection, we can for sure declare it saved many more lives than without, unless it directly killed more people than it helped...
A good middleground is Kotlin. You get some of the nice features / syntax from Java without the problems. While Scala is actually a way more powerful language, Kotlin is more than good enough for most real world tasks and the tooling is so much better.

"mRNA was in studies prior to COVID, its not like we made it up in 3 weeks."

You mean the animal trials in which mRNA based drugs repeatedly failed due to toxicity, for which as recently as 2017 there was no fix?

https://www.statnews.com/2017/01/10/moderna-trouble-mrna/

No, mRNA tech wasn't being used before COVID. They were trying to bring it to market and failing. That's why so many people refer to it as experimental.

Huh? Where does this come from? Where was the underlying data or mechanism (before the pandemic hit) that getting COVID (unlike most any other virus we've seen) would not result in durable immunity?

To be honest this is the most credible crisis faced by China so far(but it's really this + questionable Covid policy + expected economic slowdown altogether) but the thing that makes it hard to judge is obviously that bankruptcies and stuff are managed differently in China.
It is by a long shot the biggest intervention that China has had to do, but they will intervene if stuff gets really critical.
For those who were watching this story develop when the first Evergrande articles appeared people were expecting there to be a huge crisis by now already, but so far it hasn't come.
I'm much more concerned about the Covid policy than this to be honest.
>But if you compare to past yourself, you can potentially get head and shoulders above the crowd and become the best.

My younger self was healthier, had more energy, more mental acuity, was better-looking, better-liked, less cynical, had more opportunities and more time on earth left to fulfill their dreams as well as enough naivety to believe he could be become the best at something for which other people had a natural aptitude and a twenty-year headstart.
To put it bluntly, the new page layout and color scheme absolutely sucks. Probably lost me as a regular reader.

Clearly it's intended to optimize mobile browsing experience since it's very vertically stacked - but at the cost of alienating non-mobile readers since now one is forced to scroll downward for new content. Also the color scheme makes it hard to differentiate the types of content/posts.

Seems assine to not give readers an option to use the old layout for an interim period, similar to how Reddit did their transition.
> mRNA was in studies prior to COVID, its not like we made it up in 3 weeks.

Part of the reason it was in studies for so long is because it kept failing. But in two weeks (seriously! That's straight from Moderna) they were able to button everything up and make it work for Covid.

I think you're vastly underestimating the amount of work required to support a platform like Android. How many people are directly employed by either JetBrains or Google to work on the Android + Kotlin story, vs the total number of Typesafe/Lightbend employees at its peak... which has always been burning through VC money and is financially struggling even after focusing on their core knowledge domain.

> (Also, what do you mean about convincing Google?)

Google decides what Android becomes or not. What makes you think they would have been interested in Scala in the first place? Even if someone did the integration work for free (which is an insane premise), Google likes boring languages. Plus, Scala's standard library is somewhat at odds with a fast and lean mobile runtime.

Why is everyone voluntarily practicing amnesia? We had a lot of trial data showing safety and efficacy before the vaccines were rolled out.

It is standard practice with influenza to update the stains. 0 reason to think that updating the mRNA for COVID vaccines from one strain to another is dangerous. None. Zap. Zero. Zilch.

I've tried various note taking apps and never found one that worked how I liked. I now use a Dropbox folder full of plain text files and a handful of Python scripts. I've never published them, they're full of hard-coded values that only I use, and they lack 90% of features in most note-taking systems. The simplicity works for me, and that's great.

I always said that the public health official must be absolutely certain they that all of the vaccines they were pushing are as safe and effective as they claimed before even considering mandating them. We now know they were wrong about at least one of them: the J&J vaccine is no longer being offered in my health system both because it's questionable safety profile and the fact that it is not as effective. Once we start preventing children from entering schools and removing people from their jobs (some with decades of experience) for not wanting to take a vaccine, the burden of proof is on the health officials to prove they are right. We also must remember that these measures have second order effects. I fear by abusing the trust the public had in physicians, public health officials have cause possibly permanent damage to the trust the average citizen has for the health community (this is especially pronounced among the underserved community).
It's mostly meritocratic for the little people. 94% of UK children go to state schools, but only 50% of MPs went - and that's considered good.

A little bit of strawmanning there, implying I'm insisting on an unblemished ideal system. I simply think there's plenty of room for improvement on what we have, and stripping one family of a birthright to rule would count towards it.

I don't think it's at all clear we could get rid of the monarchy through democratic mechanisms! But that's rather besides the point - we wouldn't try, because the amount of state & media propaganda shovelled at us will prevent most people from wanting that. Unless some troubling events fast-track Harry & Meghan to the top of the succession order, of course.
Yes, is was already confirmed in a Swedish study that mRNA from these preparations can be reverse transcribed into DNA [1]. Now this study shows that the reverse transcribed DNA is active as well. The first thing that should be clear is that this was not an intended effect, the mRNA was supposed to be acted upon and discarded. As far as I'm concerned this is not a positive development either since it implies that new cell lines will have been created which can produce SARS2 spike proteins. Long after SARS2 is gone or mutated so that these spike proteins are no longer analogous to the ones on the virus these cell lines will still produce inflammation-causing spike proteins. If those cells happen to be in the wall of a blood vessel, in an ovary or testes they're likely to cause problems. As the study says there is a need for more research to determine this platform's true impact on human health.

These preparations were offered to and in many cases forced upon a large part of the population without knowing what long-term effects they had. This was the largest medical experiment ever conducted and the jury is out on both the efficacy as well as the safety of the preparations.

I didn't downvote you out of spite, but because of the factual errors in your post, notably:

C++ has no such primitives that offer the same level of assurance as Rust does. Not every disagreement is spiteful.
That isn't a relevant question. The goal is to contain Russian expansionism, not to minimize deaths.

For the professional work I have done in Rust the compile times are workable when using cargo workspaces and incremental compilation. Making sure to when possible work directly in a member crate compiling only that for the iteration cycle. That requires a DAG structure for all dependencies so does not work everywhere.

That's also ignoring few earlier opportunities to strike against Hitler.

Additionally, after remilitarization, there were more opportunities to Strike. Rhineland, Anschluss of Austria... the longer you wait it's worse.

>I also heard that appeasement was backreaction to WW1, where everybody was eager to go to war and it ended in bloodshed.

Wehrmacht was not close to being combat ready yet, and would get crushed by combined Polish-Czechoslovakian-Western Allies troops. Without Czechoslovakia opposing them, and Czech industry fully contributing to Hitler's war machine odds were drastically better for Nazis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_38(t)

And Ukraine is winning the war, saving 40 million Ukrainians from genocide.
> Can you steelman allowing terminology to evolve and allowing new forms to be the assumed/default meaning?

Obviously, terminology does evolve over time. The word "hat", for example, has a default meaning of "baseball hat", even though the default meaning was something else decades / centuries ago. Baseball hats are by far the most common kind of hat, so it makes sense for the to be the default.

This is not at all what is happening in the case of "API", which is why it annoys me. Hardware APIs and library APIs dwarf the use of REST APIs. But web developers have this tendency to think that what they do is the only thing that is relevant. Therefore, they think API == REST.

It is like if a bitcoin advocate used the term "coin" to refer only to bitcoin, and "metal coin" to refer to regular coins. They want bitcoin to be the default meaning of "coin", but it isn't and it causes confusion in regular conversation.
