The vaccines reduced spread - not completely but meaningfully - but effectiveness has dropped in the face of different variants. This is not a secret but something scientists and public health officials have been concerned with since the beginning: the retail business lobby wanted to say that you could go back to 2019 as soon as you were vaccinated but that was because of the money they weren’t getting from indoor dining/drinking when people were staying masked - and while some politicians wanted that to be true, too, anyone following the scientific consensus knew that was wishful thinking.

That doc lists only a few elements where aria-label should not be used: caption, code, definition, deletion, emphasis, generic, insertion, mark, paragraph, presentation, strong, subscript, suggestion, superscript, term, time

I am particularly concerned if people interpret the parent article to mean that aria-label shouldn't be used on certain semantic containers that are exposed in the accessibility tree by screen readers, such as <section> and <nav>.

Truth About Y Combinator: Is it worth it?
In the usual case, Erlang does not use a contiguous chunk of memory to represent a sequence of bytes. Instead, it something called an “I/O list” — a nested list of non-contiguous chunks of memory. The result is that concatenating two strings (I/O lists) takes O(1) time in Erlang, compared O(N) time in other languages. This is why template rendering in Ruby, Python, etc. is slow, but very fast in Erlang.

This sounds like it may break cache coherence? Template rendering in Erlang may be faster than Ruby & Python but I suspect using non-contiguous blocks of memory isn't the reason.

Can you provide some additional details on the VoIP service? When you say "parking it on a VoIP service" do you mean that you ported from T-Mobile to the VoIP service or do you mean you forwarded your calls to a VoIP line and continued to pay for T-Mobile?

Who botched the port request? You would have initiated the port request via US Mobile when you signed up for service. They wouldn't depend on T-Mobile "having the number", they would have looked up who had the number and initiated the porting process.

You can see which carrier "owns" your number by going to https://freecarrierlookup.com/.

Now, if you cancelled your service BEFORE you ported the number, then you may be SOL as the number would have been released. Even if not reassigned you may not be able to get the provider/carrier to release it since it is no longer in your name.

Most folks who used PANTONE spot colours had no business doing so --- their gaudy layout w/ a dozen spot colours would never be printed w/ that many plates, and some production person always had to get permission to convert them into the process equivalents.

For those few jobs where it is actually getting printed as a spot colour? The job would still print fine --- just send along a PANTONE colour chip, or ask your printer to provide one to verify colour usage.

If you still want to use spot colours, use a free library such as the one developed by GCMI, then your printer can pull out the spot colour book and figure out which you actually want to print w/.
That's interesting, I often find the tooling one of the best things that FP languages offer. In OCaml for instance I found Dune to be fantastic and extremely intuitive. Another very good experience I had was with Elixir and Hex. In Haskell I personally think that there are indeed quite a few things that could be improved around build system and packaging, but overall it's not really that bad once you learn the quirks.
But I wonder if, let's say, a media organization were to publish a "hit piece," based on the text, if you could send a DMCA notice to their hosting provider.

Probably not a good idea to mention your support of trans soldiers. It's all part of the broader culture war of course.

Many good officers hold the line against sectarian creep, including (or even especially) devoutly religious members, but the pressure to be Christian is growing.

> it is heavily influenced by FP

Is it really? I agree with the rest of your post, that Rust provides great tooling, but not sure it's "heavily influenced by FP", at least that's not obvious even though I've been mainly writing Rust for the last year or so (together with Clojure).

I mean, go through the "book" again (https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/) and tell me those samples would give you the idea that Rust is a functional language. Even the first "real" example have you mutating a String. Referential transparency would be one of the main point of functional programming in my opinion, and Rust lacks that in most places.
Actually, implementing AVL tree in purely functional way is easy, I'd say it's easier than doing it in the mutable in-place way. It will allocate more, but will have the optimal O(something) complexity.

Many other algorithms are much harder, though, especially those requiring fast array indexing (graph search, hash tables, ...)
You're forgetting that Mastodon runs on ActivityPub, which means that the point is to divide users into different servers. For example, when everyone joined mastodon.social, the balance tipped and a lot of users lost access. Concentrating users into a single instance is not what's supposed to happen.

Ideally, you wouldn't want to go through joinmastodon.org and join the highest ranking server since that would centralize the whole protocol. It's favorable for everyone using the service that you join invite-only niche servers or self host.
There is a somewhat widespread implicit assumption that having sufficient intelligence to develop increasingly sophisticated machine learning implies that we also have sufficient intelligence to develop an “intuitive” understanding of how it works.

I think that assumption is totally wrong, and trying to reconcile the two is probably a distraction and a waste of time.

Evolution led to human intelligence just fine on its own; why are humans not simply the catalyst in the next stage of this natural process from which something more complex arises?

With regard to the moral questions around machine learning, I think people are overthinking things. There needs to be a sharp (societal) line between inferring causation and the capability for prediction. Maximize the latter any way that you can, but a lot of careful thought should be put into how the results of a prediction are utilized. Instead we are currently going about this backward by trying to haphazardly “clean” the input data so that the output gets a free pass on how it can be used. We can never decouple all of the biases and eliminate intra-predictivity in the input data though, so it’s fundamentally a bad approach.
It depends on the kind of users.

Twitter has only 300k users with a blue check.
If 70k of them would switch to Mastodon it would have a bigger effect.
Are we now at peak subscription nonsense? $20/month for Twitter, $15/month for Pantone, we may be hitting the point where people say enough is enough :)

Agreed - the fediverse is already run by little gatekeepers who want to decide who you can and cannot communicate with (if you are on their instance). That should simply not be possible on the protocol level, meaning your account must be fully separated from any kind of "instance" except your own client.
Or lets look at persistent data structures, a staple of functional programming:

https://github.com/tobgu/peds

Notice how you'd need to generate the DS for every type you'd like to use it with, which is not the case with built in mutable maps and slices.

To make them type-safe, you need to generate them for every type you use. While this is technically possible, it does make the language quite hostile towards functional programming. With generics, this is rectified but the problem with non-composable multi-return-value functions still remains

> you'd loose the benefit of Pantone standardization

That's the point: these colors should be a standard. Standards can also be acquired for a fee. I also purchased physcial samples of Pantone colors. But paying an annual fee for the privilege of specifying a color in an app? No, thank you.
Computers do it more efficiently, yes, but you're not giving an argument as to why being more efficient means there should be different rules.
In the USA, most civilian workers are eligible for Social Security retirement payments after 10 years of work. But payments only start when you actually retire at age 62+. Whereas military pensions start as soon as you retire from the service. So there are people who enlist at age 18, retire at 38, and then go on to have a second civilian career while simultaneously collecting a military pension. It's a pretty good deal for those willing to take the risk and stick it out.

When you buy a coffee for $4, you also don't care that the beans in it cost $0.01. Cost of manufacturing and customer pricing are far more decoupled than most people think.

Or, for a digital analogy, think of the good old discussion of the cost of distributing an mp3 vs the cost of creating the music (esp. back in the iTunes days when the mp3 cost $0.99).

In this case, Pantone prices the verified digital access to their colours. Almost nobody needs that, UNLESS you deal with Pantone colours in the physical world - and there they have real value.

I'm personally questioning the decision of making designers pay for the digital colours as well; I think it hurts adoption in the long run. But I also think the outcry is over the top: if you design products that require standardised colours in the manufacturing process, the cost of that tiny subscription is completely negligible. Also, because it's negligible, I can't imagine it being a huge part of Pantone's revenue, so this move might have done them more harm than good, but well...

Either way, it seems to me that there's tons of people complaining about this price, but pretty much no-one ever really worked with Pantone colours. That's why I think the internet is overreacting.
Super cool, love the draw mode!
Well first of all Ubuntu is Debian based, so choosing one over the other is mostly semantics. And secondly, even if you can use Dell software, it's not supported. EMC for example will not support you if you don't use supported distros.

It's still a frighteningly low number of distros considering we used to have an abundance of distros to hop around on for desktop use. Distrowatch.com for example, but for all those distros, when it comes to servers we narrow ourselves down to less than a handful.

I quit self hosting for these reasons (no matter how good I am, I am not full time keeping my self-hosting pristine), and now I apparently cannot fully trust Proton.

I'm not a moral philosophist, but I'd say the difference is effort.

I mean no shade on the illustrator herself, but her style looks derived itself from other styles.

Anyway, another illustrator would need to put in the effort to learn the style, and then X hours to create each piece. An AI, once trained, can churn out thousands of artworks in that style per second (with enough computing power); it makes the illustrator obsolete, and like mass production of low cost knockoff products, it forges competition and cheapens the brand / style.

Is that good or not? I don't know, again I'm not a moral philosophist.

Is that really a fair date to use? The functional programming Backus is talking about bears little resemblance to the functional programming which is being discussed now(and in the article).

Security by default is usually a good default, yes.

systemd-run exists because a) you can use it to limit resources, b) it registers long-running processes under systemctl so you can interact with them under another session, and c) logs go into a central place.

Established Unix practice doesn't give you any of that unless you write a mountain of very opinionated shell scripts, which at that point why not just use the standard systemd instead?
Pay is not the problem. I am offering competitive pay. Tugboat captains with a Master of Towing require years of sea time. More are retiring than being created. I am currently training deckhands.

Fixing immigration would allow me to hire qualified captains from abroad. It would similarly benefit other kinds of companies.

> ...which is also what you get by using an RGB / CMYK approximation and then telling the manufacturer which kind of paint should be used for that layer.

That’s not going to work, because the natures of the different surface will make a given RGB/CMYK perceptually differ.

Think display calibration, except a lot worse.

The point of the Pantone system is that they’ve done the legwork to get perceptual matchings across surfaces, and design paint mix recipes to achieve reproducible matching. That’s what you’re paying for.

Or it's important, but nobody has the skills/time/familiarity/acceptance from upstream maintainers combo.

Compared to the FOSS origin myths, many huge projects, with tons of end users, including very foundational ones, like GTK+ and OpenSSL and such, are understuffed (or just 1-2 base maintainers heavily overworked, who do 99% of the work and can't take it anymore), and nobody cares or has the time to dive in and fix anything.

Other projects that might have some person interested to bugfix, have maintainers that don't like contributions outside a clique, and ignore bugfixes submitted for years or forever.

So, "any user can fix it" is sometimes just in principle, while actual users than can fix and do fix it are thin on the ground, and othertimes it's just an option for external patches, that will not be merged upstream.

> I want a competitor that offers at least roughly similar quality

How will that happen realistically? The truth is it's impossible to compete with ad-funded tech giants in the current state of affairs.

For that to change two things are needed:

1 . government intervention to break up Google ads from their maps and other businesses, leveling the playing field for their competitors who aren't making money via ads (not really gonna happen in the US, but maybe ... wink wink EU)

2. consumers now being OK with having to pay market prices for subscriptions to essential services like maps, email, etc. that they got used to getting for free through their personal data monetization (also not really gonna happen because people don't like paying for stuff they used to get for free and also many people can't afford to pay)
It is not only you. The more people are OK with this, the higher the danger for other people, who are not OK with this, because data adds up and usually becomes more information than the sum of its parts. Tracking and spying are a danger to people, whose work requires them to not be tracked and found. People like journalists in oppressive regimes. While people run around merily sacrificing their privacy for the reason, that they are uninformed about these issues, they indirectly play into the hands of those, who want to make journalists shut up and disappear.

Privacy is vital for a functioning society. If not for you personally, then for others. By adding yourself to the mass of people, who do not care, you are helping in creating an environment, where privacy is not valued. Seen as something "only a few radicals want". Quickly abolished by governments in the name of "but think of the children!" or "but think of the terrorists!" and similar nonsense.

A customer list can absolutely be reasonably considered to be information with actual and potential value from not being generally known to other persons (competitors) who would obtain economic value from it's disclosure.

So long as you make a reasonable effort to keep it from being public knowledge, it meets the criteria you quoted.
T-Mobile and US Mobile are the two companies at fault. The VoIP service is a third party (NB the use of the indefinite article).
Different between Mastodon and the other platforms you linked is that Mastodon facilitates communication between the various instances (if they agree to that). So you can join instance X and still communicate with people on instance Y, and it's easy for the administrators to set that up. It's possible with IRC/Discord as well but it's hacky and requires "bridges" while that functionality is "native" in Mastodon.
there is a better option, public data from guvernamental entities, data available to open street map, google maps or tom tom, that could be able to enrich it as they wish, but the base should be open.
