Covid is still more dangerous than most people think. The stress it places on the british healthcare system is currently going to prove to be the most significant issue of the pandemic for Britan this year.

The current NHS is not set up to cope. The NHS is already stretched. We have seen an increased number of admissions to the wards over the past few weeks. As demand increases, the NHS will find it more difficult to recruit enough talent. The talent problem will be hard to solve because most people would rather work in the private sector for better pay.

I don’t understand this point.
My wife is a physician and this is a contentious issue. Virtually any full scan will turn up things that seem like a cause for concern when you're fine. The risk of false positives is fairly high when testing is nonspecific/un-targeted. This results in real stress, difficult decisions, and often times worse care.
So basically you want the band to scalp people for giving the tickets to their friends and family? How is that better?
I am a heavy terminal user and I am fine with an editor using ctrl c,x,v and for copy,cut,paste. It isn’t “Blasphemy”, there’s plenty of ways to send a signal to a process if you really need that. It’s an editor. Let’s chill a bit.

I look forward to your improved version that tests against the Cartesian product of /usr/dict/words with itself plus the empty string and maybe some slang words like "bod". I suggest you limit to shortish words before the Cartesian product rather than after.

This is the kind of environment that I've seen here in the bay area in several different areas that leads to success. It's less about an individual startup but more like a little ecosystem of interrelated but different companies helping to build a new industry.
Kombucha has a huge amount of B12, along with other B vitamins. So, I don't take the supplements I used to need, anymore.

B12 deficiency is very interesting, biologically. Bodies are normally really, really good at extracting trace amounts of B12.

But people sometimes develop an immune reaction to their own specialized cells that are responsible for extracting it. Middle-aged men are particularly at risk for this. The symptom mentioned in the article is "pernicious anemia", a stellar name. If you get this autoimmune disorder, you need thousands of micrograms every day. Other people get along on a microgram or two.

Vegans are at risk not because eating vegan is "unhealthy", but just because vegan food, with rare exceptions, lacks any B12 at all. All B12 is produced by certain bacteria, and taken up by all animals, but not at all by plants. (Miso bacteria, in particular, do NOT make any.) Bacterial B12 is added to soy milk to try to prevent deficiencies.

If you eat cheese, you are covered unless you have the disorder.

The process of absorbing B12 is improbably complicated. Stuff in your saliva is involved, and stomach, and bile, and specialized cells in your intestine. We all have a huge amount of B12 in our own colons, but no cells in the colon that can absorb it.

My interpretation is that the thousands of variations of B12 produced by various bacteria, most of which don't work right, need to be filtered out, letting through only what is checked to really do the job.

B12 deficiency is diagnosed during routine physical exams by excess buildup of a chemical that we use B12 to process.
This unfortunately highlights a key forensics requirement: don't touch the computer.

Don't turn it on, don't turn it off, don't login/logout. Ideally keep the wifi router turned on, but disconnect it from upstream internet.

It's very hard to get people to follow this of course but it's critical, especially now FDE is becoming more common. In the extreme case you can leave it on until you can cause an exploit remotely or are ready to immerse it in liquid nitrogen and extract the FDE keys from RAM. There are tools (wiebetech.com) for moving plugged in computers onto battery power if you can't work in situ or can't risk a grid outage.

I have no idea what this article is talking about, but if there are two plausible representations for the whatever-it-is, why not allow it to be represented both ways ?
> Viagogo added more than £100, just because they could.

It is not ‘just because’, it’s because there are more people who want to go than there are tickets. The reason you paid an extra 100 pounds is because someone else wanted that ticket, too, but would only pay 90 extra. That is the market allocating a scarce resource.

If there are only 10000 tickets and 100000 people would be willing to pay face value for the ticket, how do you suggest the tickets be allocated? A lottery?

If the reseller wasn’t selling them for more, you would have instead only a 1 in 10 chance to get a ticket at all. Would you rather have a ticket and pay 100 pounds more, or pay nothing but get zero tickets? That is your choice anyway.
Good for them! Love Rammstein.

However, the ticket market is changing and these resellers are getting sidelined a little more, but that doesn't mean the market is getting better.

Ticketmaster, who are part of live nation who in turn own a lot of the big venues and festivals are horrible and owned a lot of resellers or were responsible for the reseller market, as it started to become more outlawed they simply side stepped it.

Now you have tickets that have dynamic pricing, with prices that go well over double the face value, strange extra fees or just out right miss-selling.

A concert I tried to book about 2 years ago, was 'sold out' of general admission tickets the minute it went on sale, including several 'presales' but these 'special access' tickets were available for double the general admission price, it was listed with the VIP tickets, but when you read the small print, with confusing language, it said things such as the ticket would ensure you got access to the concert (Shouldn't a standard ticket do that?) it was basically just a general admission ticket at a 'demand driven price'
I don’t understand the benefit of nominal typing when structural typing is available?
Somewhat off-topic, but I wanted to buy some tickets for a comedian and the venue uses Ticketmaster. The tickets were $75/ea and the service fees were $65/ea. How in the hell are the service fees basically the same price as the price of admission?
There's nothing more silly than presenting the appearance of reasoning that tries to undercut reasoning as such.
There are plenty of people who still lead complex lives after they are effectively out of said market.
This is from February of 2022, and we've had significant changes on the ground since then.

I find it more than a little funny that they're failing to conceal their obvious contempt for Russian incompetence in the last couple months, at the beginning of the war they were as neutral as one can get.

I wish the US would change their tax laws. I'm a US citizen who was born in Canada. I've never lived in the US, I can't vote in any US elections, but I still have the burden of filing US taxes every year and making sure I don't make financial decisions that the US would tax me on. All these great "benefits" for the privilege of being born to a single parent who is American.

I've kept my US citizenship this whole time as I wanted to keep my options open to move to the US in the future. But the older I get and the more settled I am in Canada, revoking my citizenship seems like the best option.

That’s exactly what the article says they’re doing…

Further, fans’ full names must be displayed on their tickets, and they must display proof of identification to be admitted into the shows. What’s more, fans won’t be able to resell their tickets unless they go through the Eventim-distributed website fanSALE
Fortunately, kombucha has all the B12 even people with impaired absorption need.
Just to add something here: Beautician (of various forms including but not limited to: hairdressing, waxing, nailcare) and shop work (selling at the register, stocking) are blue collar jobs and are overrepresented by Women.
Great point. That’s definitely something in our power to exercise. Even if it doesn’t succeed, the act of working together to strive to make the world better is a signal to others which I’d argue is worth communicating and encouraging.

I eat grass-fed local cows and its almost half the price per lb as regular ground beef at Walmart, and obviously includes every cut there is.

We probably need to increase the number of farms and farmers, and decentralize agriculture. Bonus side effect: it’s more resilient to shocks like Covid taking out a few meat packing plants or a natural disaster taking out the massive Smithfield facility in Virginia.
Ticket prices are weird. I saw Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) the other night (an amazing show btw) and was literally right next to the stage. I paid $150 a week before the concert for the pleasure. The lady next to me had bought her ticket two years before and had spent $800. She said she got some memorabilia and stuff but still. Absolutely bonkers the price difference.
Just an FYI for Apple folks that Apple photos had this as well on OSX and iOS.
Scalping is unpleasant for everyone involved other than the scalper. Entertainment industry is finally catching up to the real fix, which is increasing the supply. If there is way too big of a demand for a single concert, just hold more concerts at the same spot. It's basically the Vegas residency model. Sure you might visit less cities overall but not rebuilding a stage every other day yields a substantial savings in logistics, too.

It literally is done to reduce sexual pleasure. Circumcision was popularized in the US as a way to stop masturbation, which doctors believe was responsible for various social and medical problems.

From Wikipedia’s bios on two of the people responsible for the spread of the practice, Lewis Sayre and John Harvey Kellogg:

> In 1870, Sayre began using circumcision as a purported cure for several cases of young boys diagnosed with paralysis or significant motor problems. He thought the procedure ameliorated such problems based on a "reflex neurosis" theory of disease, which held that excessive stimulation of the genitals (i.e., masturbation) was a disturbance to the equilibrium of the nervous system and a cause of systemic problems.

>Kellogg did promote extensive measures to prevent masturbation addiction. He circumcised himself at age 37. His methods for the "rehabilitation" of masturbation addicts included measures up to the point of cutting off part of the genitals, without anesthetic, on both sexes; he wrote men who did should be circumcised and women that did should have carbolic acid applied to their clitoral glans.
Nuclear power has at least three problems:

- It has historically been associated with nuclear weaponry, giving it an unsafe imago. Chernobyl and related incidents didn't help, and remediation of nuclear incidents is much more difficult than something like the aftermath of a coal pile fire.

- It was not really cheaper than fossil fuels for much of its life, and it is not cheaper than renewables now.

- Not many countries have the capability to build nuclear power plants, which means they need assistance from abroad. This creates unwanted dependencies. As a simple example, I bet Finland is not very happy about its Russian-built nuclear power plants right now.
I've seen this in all industries, not just startups in the Bay area. Above a certain level in companies proples personal lives and work life's are intertwined and inseparable. These people tie their self image, self worth, and entire life to work. Once your like that, you have no way to interact with the world and other people other than through the eyes of business. Every meal, mixer, person you meet is a potential new business asset to leverage in the future. Their entire world view is different.
I would just use the emacs defaults.
How about they just do a Dutch auction? Say you are selling 10000 tickets to something. Every person who wants to go submits a bid with the maximum they will pay for a ticket over the course of say, three days. Then, the band looks at the 10,001 highest bid, and charges the 10000 people bid higher that amount.

Everyone pays the same, and it is the fairest price to sell all of the tickets.
To be fair, there are women out there who are consistently feminist and whose revealed relationship preferences match the rhetoric.

But of course cherrypicking just the convenient parts of feminism is common, and it's not always easy to tell early on what kind of person the other one is.
Const enums get completely erased by the compiler, and modules are a native js feature.

Non-const enums and namespaces are probably the only aspects of typescript that actually have any significance at runtime, but they get compiled into simple objects. The compiler output is very close to what you'd write by hand. Take a look at this compiler output here [1].

Unless you're constantly recreating enums and namespaces inside of a loop (which you'd never do in real life code), I can't imagine there'd be any performance penalty.

You don't have to assume companies rely on stadia primarily to argue stadia is responsible for adoption. You just have to argue stadia brings more to table then it costs to target Vulkan. Which is orders of magnitude easier.
> PsychoPass, Akira, Cowboy Bebop, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Attack on Titan.

I totally agree with everything on this list, except Akira and NGE. And I am saying that as someone for whom NGE is the all-time personal favorite piece of animated media (and I like Akira a lot too, just not as much).

Akira and NGE are pretty much deconstructions of genres, and are really heavy on at least some basic level of previous exposure and understanding of the context. I am fairly certain that if you make someone without much previous exposure to the context watch Akira, you will get a very resounding "what the fuck did you just make me watch". Watched it in a movie theater myself around 5 years ago, and it was definitely a wild ride. With NGE, I rewatched it many times, partially because I almost always discovered something new on subsequent rewatches.

The rest of the ones you've mentioned are great for easing-in though, and are not shallow even in the slightest. I would also add Ghost in the Shell: Stand-alone Complex series to the list of recommendations.
One can run GUI editor just as well either directly via ssh -Y or via VNC. So this is not an argument for a terminal editor.
It is my contention that, in a terminal environment, any attempts to redefine the standard meaning of Ctrl-Q as something other than XON will fail because it is impossible to do so consistently.

Ctrl-Q does not even reach the application in a standard terminal configuration. It is possible to configure the terminal to allow it, of course, and some existing applications do so.

However, it will not become "standard" because it cannot be ubiquitous, or even common except in certain classes of application.

And what would you do with Ctrl-Q? Quit? Ctrl-C has you covered there (retroactive mnemonic: "Cancel").

So don't bother trying to redefine Ctrl-C either, you will only cause unnecessary pain for your users, and adoption hassles for your software.

Windows users are not your target market for terminal-based software. So instead of inventing your own creole Esperanto patois, just speak the local language!
Sucks if someone gets sick.
This looks interesting. Is there by chance a live demo of this?
But one of the reasons why you can't get a ticket in the first place, is because scalpers are buying tickets for the simple reason of reselling the ticket for a higher price.

Scalpers increase market demand just as much as people that actually want to go and the only person profiting here is the scalper, who is not really deserving to do so here.

If you are going to increase price with demand, at least let it go to the people behind the event/artist in a fair way.

Sort of in the same vein, here's a PNAS report [1] of a continuous combustion detonation engine. No circulating detonation wave, no pulses, just steady combustion in a propellant stream fast enough to stabilize the detonation region at a feature in the engine.

Just speculation on my part, but I would think the Isp would be higher than the usual chemical combustion regimes due to higher temperature in the detonation volume. Pretty interesting stuff.

Can you elaborate? Are you saying we should worship at the alter of in person work? That it makes us richer than those who don't have to commute or suffer open office plans?
Yes, I thought the whole thing was a muddle. I thought the reference to film would tie into SLR not really being suitable but it didn't. No mention of long lenses unless I missed it.
Yes, but there is also the game of choosing between sanity and insanity and all manner of flavors in between and beyond. Let us not forget the game of choosing.

You don't need to program Vulkan, just whoever writes your engine. If you need to write your own engine it's fine if you don't use Vulkan, but Unreal Engine and Unity have supported Vulkan for a long time.
Someone in my extended family used to do remote tech support/call center type stuff for Apple around 10 years ago, before WFH was popular. WFH was a huge draw for her because it allowed her to stay in a small rural town (75 min from a medium sized city, 30m from a small city) with her extended family, and easily balance her job around caring for her household.

I agree with your sentiment in general, that there are benefits to in-person work that we lose with WFH. But at least for her, WFH represented a no-compromise way of working. Her other options were don't work, work a local job that would likely pay at or barely above minimum wage, have a long commute to the medium sized city, or move away from her very close-knit family. Social support from coworkers was not a consideration compared to these things.

Culturally I think the idea of having a loose social network from your job is actually a pretty recent thing for most of society. Of course there have been professional organizations for millenia, but until the industrial/agricultural revolutions work for most people was done within the family. People can adjust back to spending more time with their family and local community, and less with extra-familiar coworkers. Long term, I don't think people will become more lonely from WFH - a lot of the loneliness issues were likely due to the abrupt transition to WFH due to COVID coupled with COVID-related social restrictions.
Yes. Children are 800-3000% more likely to be physically or sexually abused by the mother's live-in boyfriend or step-father than by their biological father, but we don't want them to have bad feels.

This used to happen even back in the bad old days when the way to buy concert tickets was to use special phone banks in certain department stores. It was especially awful for suburban kids who would get their parents to drive them two hours to a city that had the right department store, then as soon as the clock struck 10am, they'd pick up the phone only to find out the concert was sold out.

Most large concerts have felt like a scam for as long as I've been alive. Maybe that's why I've been to so few of them.

Just to add to this (copied from other branch)

The challenge the profession currently faces is that a lot of people go into it for the wrong reasons and who are not suited for it. Because there is no money in traditional graphic design, many graphic designers elect UX thinking it's nearly a 1:1 transfer. There is a lot of mis-match.

You really have to really like and have a good sense of human cognition and human factors first and foremost. You also have to like thinking in systems. You are basically design (engineering) solutions for how humans interact with computing in all its forms and in many modes.

Many designers, whether they admit it to themselves or to others, would really rather be designing book covers and concert posters.
