Au contraire, the last link doesn't support your point. There is no evidence that SARS-CoV-2 reinfections cause any worse effects than other endemic coronaviruses. The study didn't attempt to address that at all. Read it again. It's possible that SARS-CoV-2 reinfections are worse than, let's say, HCoV-OC43 reinfections but for now we don't have any direct, reliable evidence for that.

Rearranging your whole life around avoiding a minor respiratory virus sounds absolutely exhausting.
Would it still be entertaining if you owned all the bitcoin and nobody else used it?

Pinball can be entertaining without a market for pinball machines, I don't see how bitcoins would be entertaining if there were no market for them.
Gold, in the end, is a physical, shiny metal that people find aesthetically appealing and there's a limited amount of it out there. For thousands of years people have desired gold things and valued it.

Sure, people could collectively decide that gold isn't valuable and that certainly happens to some extent as the commodity markets fluctuate, but in general when you get to the bottom of the turtle stack, gold has more fundamental value than most other forms of money.

Its a myth that printing money causes currency to lose value. There are an infinite Dogecoins and yet the value goes up sometimes.
> Infinite loop with a constant expression is defined behavior.

Yes, because a constant controlling expression is one of the enumerated exceptions to the rule against infinite loops.

> You're showing potentially infinite loops with non-constant expression as condition.

"for (int i = 0; i < 1;)" is an infinite loop, full stop. It is not potentially infinite, it is infinite under all possible executions. It is UB because it does not fall under one of the enumerated exceptions where an infinite loop is allowed.

I think we are saying the same thing, the only difference is that you seem to be defining "infinite loop" to only include loops with constant controlling expressions, whereas I am defining it to mean "any loop that does not terminate."

Yeah, I'm no crank, I'll let a lot of things fly. But a random piece of paper containing a printout of a Wikipedia page about a court ruling in the periphery of a photo is where I draw the line. It's called having standards.
Gold is backed by the fact that no one can replicate supernovae which are required to manufacture it, so it must be found. Thus it is scarce. It has several industrial uses and is a source of vanity for many humans, which has inherent value, as humans naturally take pride in adorning themselves. Gold has proven itself over millenia, since before prehistory really, to have value on the open markets. In fact, all rocks do. Gold is hardly unique in this matter. Rocks all have value, but some rocks are rarer than others, thus have more value than others. For example, even sand has value despite its ubiquity. Many companies make their entire profit from collecting and selling sand.

So, in sum, gold can be used in the manufacture of durable, long-lasting goods. It's crucial for certain electronics. There's a constant demand for it for turning into goods. Other rocks can be used for other things, like ground covering, structural support, etc. Bitcoin can be used for?... ? ... ? ... ? nothing
Of course it's not infallible but you have to "put up or shut up". Saying the FDA is fallible is not evidence that vaccination recommendations are in error.

Sure, and if he could buy 1% of bitcoin for $25 he would probably do that too? Since he could easily sell it again for a higher price.

It seems the issue was with buying _all_ the bitcoin, since it suggests that nobody wants it anymore, so he wouldn't be able to sell it.
It’s not worthless. The United States, which happens to be the largest economy in the world, requires taxes to be paid in dollars, regardless of how you’ve settled your transaction. If you and I trade a car for 40,000 chocolate bars, the IRS demands we figure out the dollar cost and pay them their due.
Not to get too off topic, but as a 35 year old engineer it seems the world in general has far fewer consequences than I was raised to expect. Everything from businesses with bullshit ideas flourishing at a loss, to January 6 even being possible (politics aside I expected the Capitol Police to crack a lot more skulls than they did once people started smashing windows), to the whole FTX situation and the tepid response in the media/government, to petty crime being outright tolerated, to in my own career I've at times burned through enough money badly enough (albeit with good intentions) that I thought I was going to be fired, only to be told in a performance review I was doing a good job (grateful to stay employed but WTF, I would have fired or at least demoted me). Importantly, the motivation for this lack of consequence doesn't seem to stem from a desire for forgiveness or positive reinforcement or any mechanism that might make things better.

It seems like there's a general apathy/nihilism that's growing in society, whereas by contrast my entire education from childhood up I was held to strict standards and reliably punished when I failed to meet them, and this was in US public schools (albeit a highly ranked school district) and a public university. That or I was just raised in a bubble, and the historical examples I referenced growing up and reference to this day are just a case of survivorship bias, and all the bullshit that was alongside them back in the day has simply been forgotten. I'm not sure, but it is disappointing how little people at large seem to give a shit. Maybe it's a side-effect of the obesity epidemic and people just have less energy or something

C-w is "wipe", and M-d is "delete".

C-d is also "delete" but one character. There are several Emacs combos where C- is for single characters and M- is for whole word, like C-f/M-f, C-b/M-b etc.

M-w also exists in Emacs proper but it's "wipe without delete" or in common parlance, "copy".

Are you attempting to imply that the "non-binary" or "porn" adjectives are relevant here? I may be going out on a limb here, but I am not sure that "non-binary" or "porn" people commit shootings at different rates than the rest of the population--do you have any evidence, rather than mere implication (if that is in fact what you are implying)?

I don't think that misuse of gaslighting is not in favor of "lying", but rather the "manipulation", at least from my experience of hearing this when misused.
The final price will only go to zero if someone finds an unpatchable exploit that allows infinite minting of coins. Otherwise, there will probably always be some nonzero epsilon of novelty value in owning one.

(Some might argue we are already at that stage and the epsilon just happens to be absurdly large at the moment).

I'm sure he meant this tongue in cheek, but dollars are ultimately backed and propped up by the US government. Sure, no currency is worth anything if it's literally controlled entirely by one person. There are plenty of cryptocurrencies that are pretty much identical to bitcoin but that didn't take off. The only thing that bitcoin has going for it is a shared belief that it's worth something.

On the other hand, the US Dollar is a worth something because of a shared belief that the US government is going to do whatever it takes to make sure it's worth something. Even if I thought that the US government is gonna get overthrown next year, I still need to pay this year's taxes in US dollars, so it derives at least some of its value from there.

To be fair to Buffett, he doesn't care about owning dollars either. Or even gold, which has a damn good track record of being valuable. His assets are pretty much entirely in some form of equity. He likes owning shares of companies that sell some product. Sure, he needs dollars to transact, but it's not like he's holding tons of dollars either.

I can definitely say in the early days of Echelon development (mid to late 1990's) any attempt to raise awareness would be dismissed. Some of that is surely due to people not understanding the technology at the time.

Watching the Emacs community, I’m always just blown away by the love and adoration it gets. It’s clear to me that there’s something magical in it, but I can’t seem to tap that magic for myself. I’ve tried - really tried, including relearning lisp - to adopt Emacs roughly four times over my career; it never stuck. I understand the basic benefits, eg keyboard-optimized workflows, deep customization/malleability, etc. But despite my attempts, it just isn’t… accessible to me. What the heck am I missing? Should I just recognize that it’s just not for me?
There was a stronger anti-tax argument for other things (stamp act, especially) but the tea issue was mostly a bunch of smugglers and smuggler-connected folks who were pissed off that the British had not just made any gray-area work they were doing explicitly illegal, but were also undercutting them such that they couldn't compete on price, even by breaking the law.

For ordinary tea drinkers the whole tea thing actually made tea cheaper. It's one of the weirder things to get attention as a reason-for-revolt, really. I suppose the "tea party" protest is just odd and interesting enough that we can't resist lumping that in with far more legitimate grievances.
> Because meat tastes better

I don’t think you can reasonably state this as objective fact.

I eat meat mostly because it’s the easiest way for me to hit specific protein targets. I personally prefer vegetables in most circumstances though.
> NTFS - not at all - everything lost.

Is that only using Microsoft's tooling, or did you try ntfs3g from a Linux boot stick? I am grateful that I've never tried to recover borked NTFS, but my mental model is those utilities have explored more "off the beaten path" than Microsoft may want to bother with. And, in the worst(?) case, you can patch the utilities to do any kind of extra debugging you may need

The one you just cited, obviously.

The point is that you are either misinformed, speculating as it suits you, or lying to present that shooting as being motivated by moral panic type politics because it has since come out that the shooter did not subscribe to those beliefs.

And as much as it pains me to agree with you I concur that the shooter's gender and father's occupation are irrelevant.

Great! So long as people like you exist, bitcoin has value .In fact, in my opinion, the entertainment aspect has been the main driver of bitcoin and other crypto value over the past year. In fact, almost any pump and dump is really fun for all players. It only settles in after you end up bag holding. It's like gambling.. People consistently love to lose money.

So if you view bitcoin as a consumable you are consuming to provide entertainment to you, that's great. I'd personally take a lower cost source of entertainment, but to each his own.
The World John von Neumann Built (Review of &#x27;The Man from the Future&#x27;)
Isn’t crypto basically a collectible? People buy it in the hope that somebody in the future will pay more for it, but by itself it is pretty much useless. To me it seems no different from buying baseball cards. And just like saying the final value of those baseball cards may be zero, the final value of crypto may be zero, but I doubt it will have anything to do with collateral as baseball cards have no collateral either.
> I _promise_ you that you can absolutely have a relatively long-standing codebase without a framework that is a dream to work on and has been touched by many engineers in a huge corporate setting. Similarly I could show you absolutely unworkable travesties that have to eventually be rewritten despite being written with frameworks that claim to prevent this kind of thing occurring.

Conversely, you can absolutely have a “relatively long-standing codebase” with a framework “that is a dream to work on and has been touched by many engineers in a huge corporate setting.” And I could show you unworkable travesties that have to be eventually rewritten despite being written in library-only microservices that claim (because “micro”) to prevent this kind of thing from occurring.

Whether selection bias from your experience or an appeal to authority, there isn’t much to your argument. To me it just sounds like comparing well managed to poorly managed codebases.

If I have to manage a team, I’d much rather have the framework laying the groundwork for documenting “how we do things” than rolling consistency out ourselves.

I'm lucky enough to be able to work remotely most of the week, so that's given me a ton of flexibility. Bread baking, especially sourdough, takes a lot of passive time, not active time. It's very easy to prep and bake a loaf while working from home since 95% of the time you're just waiting for it to rise.

Before that, I usually baked on the weekends. There is a time (and kitchen space!) investment required for bread, but I enjoy it because it's one of the few ways I get to work with my hands and create something. Otherwise I spend all day working on the computer. Creating physically, even baked goods, is a form of meditation to me. So for that reason I do find it a worthwhile use of my time.

Gold bugs.

But even without them its value would not go to zero; ignoring the purely aesthetic uses (jewelry, decorations, etc.,) elemental gold has a wide variety of uses including corrosion-resistant electrical contacts, dental fillings, etc.; the James Webb Space Telescope mirrors have a gold coating as it is a good reflector of infrared radiation.

The old "obsolete sound" I'd love to find:

When I was a kid I had an aging Commodore 64 and a stack of disks with pirated games. Loading games was a slow process, you'd often wait full minutes for your game to load (and this was the fast option, tapes were far worse), hoping against hope it would all work right. It would often make this sudden GROAN noise when trying to read that I assume was a sudden seek.

And when it would fail, it would make this GROAN CHK CHK CHK CHK GROAN noise. No idea what it was, but it was etched into my mind as "this load isn't going to work, this game-disk might be dead".

That failure is the "extinct sound" that's been etched into my memory.
Pointer compression is a pretty nifty and simple optimization.

While working on a high-performance wait-free MPSC queue, pointer compression allowed me to fit the tails of each ring buffer queue together into a single cache line, reducing cache pressure and cache coherency traffic. The tails were essentially 16-bit compressed indices, storing the offset from the backing array's base address.

Cool post!
How many incidents of “preschool leather daddy” have there been?
This person does not "love" programming, and statements like "Our uni doesn’t have any for actual coding courses" (in response to needing to solve more actual problems) or "I have purchased the clean code book that I am reading" (unless you're a genius, and let's just say that most of us are not, you will not succeed by merely passively absorbing the material; you only think you understand the concepts, but until you actively apply what you've learned to solve problems, you are only deceiving yourself in proportion to your conviction that you actually understand and can apply the underlying theory) make this abundantly clear.

If this person really wishes to improve, then the first step they must take is to correctly characterize the problem. How can they "love" doing something, when a) they're clearly not doing the most obvious thing they need to be doing, b) when told what to do, blame their reluctance to do the work on an external factor ("uni doesn't ... and as I result, I am not doing what I need to be to be able to apply concepts that I learned, which is to actively apply them toward solving problems").
If you had all the dollars and people still had to pay their taxes in dollars. You would be able to get a LOT of stuff for those dollars because everyone would need them.

The actual concern with this argument is that "You can only pay your taxes in US dollars" is a backing that is contingent on the policy of the US Government. The strength of that backing depends on your view about the likelihood that such a policy will stay in place. (Edit: granted, if all USD were owned by a single entity, the likelihood that such a policy would be revoked is much, much higher.)
Yep, this insanity is only matched by the deference shown by e.g. the NYTimes to SBF. Compare how Apple is responding to Elon’s political-speech Jihad, vs. the complete lack of response to the child exploitation material that he has been purging from Twitter.

> layer upon layer of abstraction

I suppose it's a quibble, but this annoys me. It shouldn't matter how many layers of abstraction there are, because I should only have to interact with the topmost one. For example when I write vanilla Java there are, off the top of my head, the following layers of abstraction: the Java language, the JVM, Userland, Kernel, C, X64, and CPU microcode. No abstraction is perfect and maybe the day will come where I need to understand the hardware frontend on x64 chips to get my Java program working right, but in the overwhelming majority of cases I only need to worry about the abstraction presented by the Java language itself and maybe on the operations side those of the JVM.

All automated computing abstractions are, in the pathological case, leaky, but there comes a level of leakage where it essentially stops being an abstraction at all, useful or otherwise.

Spring Boot isn't an abstraction, it's a language extension implemented via Java annotations. Thus you must in addition to understanding the relevant parts of Java, also understand the relevant parts of Java/Spring. Personally I think it's poorly documented and doesn't really have a cognitively manageable semantic theory, but it's been a long time since I've worked with it so maybe that's been sorted out?
