> put yourself into the places where you get to know new people

The recommendations in the TFA directly imply that in these places where one goes seeking contact, one must also be in a sociable, queryable mode (my periphrase).

That way, any potential for agreeable discussion, laughter, or assistance has the best chance of arising.

Good conversation requires more than most people give. Modern society optimises for work and monetary transactions, and modern communities optimise for becoming very comfortable cells of isolation in which quality of interaction depends almost entirely on the fragility of family ties that also suffer these optimisations.
> Vaccines and boosters are the best defense against severe illness from COVID-19...

Is there any evidence that suggests vaccines and boosters are a better defense than maintaining a healthy body mass index, exercising regularly, eating a balanced diet, and spending time outdoors?
Because they're safe and proven effective at reducing death and severity of the disease. Yes your anecdotal data is one thing, this still kills way more people than flu ever did, on a yearly basis.

Now it would be interesting if they mandated this vaccine but not N95 mask wearing, that kinda baffles me.
The built-in RW code either clobbers "dirty" NTFS files or doesn't mount them at all, and it's gone in Ventura anyway.
> My guess is that XML is good for situations where text and data is mixed.

I don't agree. My take is that HTML/XML-like syntaxes benefit from familiarity from front-end developers, and a DSL to express document/component trees ends up simplifying the job of expressing document/component trees.
Probably because the majority on “the list” aren’t ‘enemies’ and are part of the intelligentsia or what have you. Else those names would have been conveniently inadvertently leaked on an “unprotected server” just as inexplicably as security cameras going off line at the moment they could have caught a crime.

the clojure crowd went this way too, libs over framework, as opposed to django and the likes where you can indeed hit sad corner cases.
The one that throws me is:

If you are a parent (say a father), and DO NOT have a child of the same sex as you (a son in this case), you have broken an unbroken line of parents before you who had a child of the same sex.

Every father that came before you had at least one son that lived to have their own children, and had a son...

It's simple but blows my tiny mind. My mother was quite shocked when she learnt the female line broke with her. :P
It’s very popular on here to claim no one said it would prevent transmission, but given the CDC director among others said so in national news reporting (and this is trivially documented) it’s hard not to see this as selective memory (or just acceptance of the current claim as equivalent to history “We’ve always been at war with East Asia”).
As others said the booster doesnt seem to be much different than previous vaccines, and overall they are all low efficacy against infection.

https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/publications-data/interim-anal...

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abq1841

However, there is a worrying stream of research indicating that covid outcomes are worse than we generally think they are, even in mild infections.

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jmv.28187

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41590-021-01113-x

https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/150/5/e20220...?

And every reinfection seems to make it worse, so this thing should not be allowed to become 'endemic'

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-022-02051-3

So it seems like other, more effective measures to reduce infections are more likely to keep people healthy rather than trying to reduce the severity of symptoms (which is what vaccines do atm)
We used that technique in my university in the late 90s in the computer architecture class. I personally found it quite boring.

Group A wants to say X that Group B doesn't like. Group B sends massive amount of unrelated messages into the Twitterverse using the same hashtags to bury Group A's message. Do you leave it alone and thus allow Group A's freedom of speech be effectively suppressed or intervene and suppress Group B? Either way, somebody's free speech is being violated.

Yes, they mandate the flu shot as well.

More colleges are mandating an assortment of vaccines, most have already mandated vaccines against things like Pertussis in order to reduce the amount of harm it can cause on campus.

I’ve been vegan for many years now, and I hate those bean burgers, to the point that I’d rather have nothing than them. I love impossible meat and have no problems with it. I eat it almost every day for years now. I’m almost 40 now and my blood work is better than when I was 30.

It’s funny to hear how a person who eats meat thinks that I should be satisfied with a sausage made out of a carrot. I eat enough of veggies in their original form, but they do not make a great burger or sausages. I also really don’t think that meat alternatives are pushing out anything – it’s the consumers that prefer them. I know I am.

I would like to clarify that for me eating healthy was not the reason I became vegan. We need to stop the torture and extermination of sentient beings for the sake of pleasing our tastebuds.
That's not what the paper cited by Time says. It is a study in the US veteran population, whose health condition is much poorer than the general population. Secondly, the study is set up to pick up bad outcomes. Third, the people compared are those with 1 and 2 infections after the second infection, rather than seeing the effect of each infection. Fourth, the paper is pre-Omicron.

There is also far more than that. The press spun it quite a bit, in a different way.

Personally, all my family members and myself have had a contact with SARS-CoV-2 within the past months. It wasn't particularly pleasant, but certainly not a "deadly virus" (prior vaccination helps, but I'm not a person at risk anyway). It will be the first of many. I stopped caring after I got my second dose, and there's no way I will care now.
You have confused strong typing and static typing.
The Köhler Effect
Even if that’s true (given how efficacy of the vaccines wanes rapidly I suspect the variants only hastened what would happen anyway), and it’s not obviously true given that Pfizer’s own clinical trials did not have transmission as a measurement or study endpoint, it’s still a huge problem for history to be so easily rewritten like “no one ever said this” when they clearly did say it.

M2 is 20 billion transistors.

You'll get different answers depending on whether you're doing this as transistors or 74 series logic or whatever, but if we take discrete transistors and jam them in at 4 per square centimeter, that works out as 5bn cm^2 or half a square kilometer.

Frequency will then be limited by propagation delay across a square of that size. Maybe a few hundred kilohertz? Power .. megawatts? There's going to be a visible heat haze shimmering over your half square kilometer of transistors.
> Do they mandate flu shots too?

Yes[0]. As well as MMR, TDAP, Hep B, and Chickenpox.

> Remember people, you have to be vaccinated and boosted to prevent the spread of the virus even though being vaccinated or boosted does not actually prevent the spread of the virus.

This is just misinformation that’s been repeated so much as a meme people think it’s true based on a misreading of the simple fact that a study which said if you do experience a breakthrough infection with a high viral load, vaccinated people transmit that viral load as readily as a non-vaccinated person. What is clearly not true is that vaccinated people have the same likelihood of having an infection with that high viral load in the first place. Which they don’t and why vaccines remain an important tool to reduce spread.

In addition to averaging lower peak viral levels for infection, vaccinated people has faster clearance rates, which means they are contagious for shorter amounts of time: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.28.21261295v...

Vaccinated people have faster symptom onset as their bodies react to the virus faster, which means they can test and isolate sooner.

Vaccinated people are still less likely to be infected than non vaccinated people: https://spiral.imperial.ac.uk/handle/10044/1/90800

Vaccinated people are also less likely to collapse the local medical system in surges because their disease course is less severe: https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/73/12/2257/6124429
Fauci's more detailed quote from your link:

> So even though there are breakthrough infections with vaccinated people, almost always the people are asymptomatic and the level of virus is so low it makes it extremely unlikely — not impossible but very, very low likelihood — that they’re going to transmit it

And my understanding is that, in May of 2021, that was very much true and that studies did show that the vaccine greatly reduced transmissibility. With new variants, though, the original vaccines, while still being protective against severe disease, did a much worse job against preventing mild illness and transmission.

Recently I started exercising in person with strangers I meet on the internet (mostly runs and bike rides). Remarkably I have noticed that my running performance is significantly better when training with others above my skill level compared to when I run alone.

After some research I ended up discovering the “Köhler effect” . In the context of fitness, this phenomenon is quite interesting:

This paper found that less capable fitness partners improved their plank time by about 24% when paired with a more capable partner

The App Store app or the App Store backend repository?

I'm curious what makes it for embedding large graphs - afaict the core is a spring model implemented as O(n^2) in nodes and single-threaded?

I see alot of Vegans / vegetarians responding in support but let me say as a carnivore that will never go Vegan / vegetarian I agree 100%,

However I can not stand when they attempt to make be believe X is Y meat, no, it is not and no amount of marketing will get me to believe they taste the same. They do not.

Just like Cauliflower Mash does not taste like potatoes, it tastes like puréed Cauliflower...

I don't know, are you saying our ancestors that died of mass disease didn't work out or spend time outdoors? Presumably if what you mentioned helped prevent disease better than vaccines then they clearly should've been protected.

OTR doesn't do groups. So it isn't really applicable to IRC. At this point, I am not really sure that end to end encryption is generally applicable to groups. The identity management problem quickly spirals out of control. I note that Telegram doesn't even try.

I couldn't disagree with this any harder. I'm a Java BE Engineer who joined a Go shop, so I have a direct comparison. Both are microservice environments for products of similar complexity.
It is insane to me how much less productive Go is for your average microservice enterprise environment. I'm sure it's great for systems programming or tool development. I like the simplicity. But the ecosystem is borderline useless for larger scale enterprise-y service landscapes. GRPC and Protobuf are overengineered and underdocumented, a lot of things are seemingly optimized for Google's specific needs.

We are more people, we are more experienced and have a decent engineering culture. Yet we're definitely less productive than the last average, traditional Java Spring Enterprise team I've been in. "Circumventing" a framework restriction (which rarely happens if you stick to good practices) is MUCH less effort than building things yourself from scratch.
I take at most 3 trips a year max to dive, usually dive ~5 days per trip, and 2 dives per day. I have maybe 150-200 dives total. If each trip is in a different month, it will cost me $30 a year at the maximum. For $300, I can use this app for 10 years worth of diving and roughly 300 more dives.

Compare the total package to a Garmin or Suunto sport watch that also does diving and all the other smartwatch things. Those units cost $900-$1500; the Apple Watch with 10 years of casual scuba is $1100. I’ll happily wear the Apple Watch every day, versus a stand-alone computer or a Suunto that I’d only wear for specific activities. My cost per day is like 30¢. Doesn’t seem so bad.
It's odd to me that systemd didn't implement a "run X number of processes" feature. I've also found it difficult to find a well-written tiny application written in C/Rust/Go whose only job it is to start and supervise X number of processes. supervisord is the well-known workhorse here but it's really old and quite buggy.

The problem is even worse given that for another researcher to challenge fake data they are also putting their reputation and career in jeopardy.

I've seen this happen with a friend of mine during his PhD, working in a climate science department doing simulations of cloud formations at the molecular level. Some 2-3 years into his research he kept bumping his head against a model that wasn't producing the data the research team expected, he spent almost a year trying to contact the author of the paper where said model was introduced, wanting to get all the dataset and initial conditions the author used so he could replicate it. The author is a quite prominent professor in the field, working at a major British university and simply wouldn't provide it to the research team, datasets had missing pieces, he deflected multiple asks for the initial parameters of the model, etc.

In the end my friend uncovered that it was most likely faked data and to prove that was another year of a battle between heads of departments which led him to a complete burnout and to lose trust in science. It was such a hardship to endure, I saw him mentally and physically suffering, and questioning said professor reputation was way above my friend's paygrade and research efforts, it was a political nightmare and after he finished the PhD (as fast as possible without exploring all of his research's goals) he just dropped the case completely.

Academic research seems to be in such a mess, perverse incentives all around and very few are willing or even able to question bad science.
Make some mutable objects, lets say a std::vector of Geese. Spin up two threads, A and B. Make a pointer, or a reference, or by whatever means you prefer, like an index, the same Goose from the vector, and give both A and B that pointer/ reference/ index whatever.

Both threads can now change the Goose at the same time. That's a data race. As a result it destroys Sequential Consistency, but that barely matters in C++ because it also is Undefined Behaviour, your program no longer has any meaning.

In (safe) Rust it won't let you give both A and B a way to mutate the same Goose at the same time, thus data races can't occur, thus you have Sequential Consistency, and your program has a defined meaning.
I was asking in the context of OPs claim. And that was regarding low level optimizations. I think only placement is a valid counterexample here but AFAIK there is support for Rust in that, if a bit elaborate in expression.
