From your link "Estimated mRNA vaccine effectiveness for prevention of infection, adjusted for study site, was 90% for full immunization"

Does 90% equal 100% now?

Her statement was false, even based on the limited data set you're referencing. It's even more false now.
You're right, andy impression was wrong. Thanks for finding out the correct info!
I think that For c-like syntaxes that have mostly `(, , )` and `; ; ;`patterns -- i.e. start (opening) and end (closing) delimiters with tokens inside separated by separators -- the most rational formatting is really to push *all delimiters to the left and let the closing delimiter dangle*.

Indeed, feels super unusual and tooling is lacking, but behold the concise rationality:

; const url
= "..."
; const contact
= { "firstName"
: "John"
, "lastName"
: "Smith"
, "address"
: { "streetAddress"
: "21 2nd Street"
, "city"
: "New York"
, "state"
: "NY"
, "postalCode"
: 10021
}
, "phoneNumbers"
: [ "212 555-1234"
, "646 555-4567"
]
}
; const result
= sendData
( url
, contact
)
; rejoice
( result
)

Beauty. N.B. those opening and closing delimiters "connected" by breadcrumbs of separators. Isn't it lovely?

Most developers I know will immediately lit torches and grab pitchforks if you show them this.

(Personally, I'm using it sometimes for private doodling, and while reformatting obfuscated or exploring some complicated codes; mostly just to improve own reading comprehension.)

If you relax the rule to allow "single simple value" to be in the same line (so break the rule for "=" / ":" on the start of the line), it could look lie this [1]

Let me get this straight, you cite Stallman on freedom and then claim that Google hasn't done anything wrong? Google the company that manages the webs most widely used DRM module? You are aware that Stallman and GNU explicitly oppose digital restrictions management in the context of freedom?

I have research to do, but I've been struggling a bit with the introduction of iCloud sync for WebAuthN. I was excited to offer WebAuthN as a method for 2FA/MFA to replace the use of phone apps, OTP, etc.

However, now it seems that both the WebAuthN secret and the password could both be synced to iCloud. Now I we to worry about employees syncing both factors to iCloud and properly securing their iCloud accounts? That's not good and will almost certainly require new intrusive controls.

I think the "average" PC and Steamdeck player is interested in emulation, so it's a good segment of the market but not the largest. If a game was only ever released on Game Pass (and do you really think Microsoft doesn't want a Game Pass Exclusive) then running the game outside of a Microsoft Game pass context is illegal.

They're running out of things like missles and bombs though IIRC?

Why don't we honor the Budapest agreement and let the Ukrainians finish off Putin's regime with US made weapons if we are going to play word games about the difference between NATO and a firm and unambiguous promise to defend a nation if they give up their nuclear weapons?

The people of Russia don't seem to want this war, they are conscripted. (From what I've read from afar.)

It's time to stop letting totalitarians use people like pawns -- let them fight it out 1 on 1 like the thugs they are. I want to see Putin personally running up on Ukraine like it's the American civil war if he's such a history fan, rather than hiding in a spider hole like the rude little pedophile he is.
I was expecting pipewire to provide a pulseaudio ABI compatibility without the cost of the pulseaudio SDK(glib), that for 1 steam game. Well, it pulls glib into the SDK too. I forgot about that game, and I am back on my good friend alsa. The software mixer (dmix/pulseaudio/pipewire/jack/whatever) is hidden behind the alsa API.
It seems they removed Github option. I only see signing up via Google.
I hadn't heard that detail, but that's baffling. Why would they think crossing paths at the same altitude and without the other traffic in sight is a good idea?
Speaking on OnFailure, one of the unfortunate aspects of systemd timers (which are otherwise quite nice) is you need to do extra work to get proper emails when something fails. Here's how I do this:

Define email-unit-status@.service

[Unit]
Description=Email status for %i to root
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=email-unit-status %i

Define email-unit-status (a script)

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -eu

dest="admin@whatever.com"

userflag=
if [[ $HOME == /home/* ]]; then
userflag=--user
fi

html=$(SYSTEMD_COLORS=1 systemctl $userflag status --full "$1" | ansi2html -w -c)

/usr/sbin/sendmail -t <<ERRMAIL
To: $dest
From: systemd <${USER}@${HOSTNAME}>
Subject: SystemD unit failure alert: $1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Mime-Version: 1.0

$html
ERRMAIL

Then you can add to a service:

OnFailure=email-unit-status@%n

You will need to install the ansi2html tool. This stuff should come with systemd really.
Yeah, Monaco is a weird city when it comes to showing wealth

I crossed it recently on my worn out but functional bicycle, to go from where I had to be in France to a cute touristy village in Italy (it was a lovely ~80km ride)

I saw a shinny Ferrari being pulled over as I entered Monaco. (he probably thought he was some f1 driver in the tunnel)
On the other end of the small country, a cop saluted me when I asked directions, then blocked the road to let me cross safely.

Only in Monaco.

(I also happened to have asked directions to a French cop earlier, and he wasn't as classy. And riding a bike in the surrounding area in France is very dangerous, because of angry car drivers)
I plan to come back to visit the museums, and to go to the stadium.
A user probably sent the report further down the road. Hazard reporting should pin the location right when you pull up the list of options, I think Waze does this when you click the report button.

I can't tell if this is for real. If so, this is the first sign that the regime in Iran is falling. As a Iranian born in Chile and raised in Ecuador because of the monkeys in power... this is amazing news.

But you can buy non-physical DRM-free games too on GOG or itch.io, for example.
So it's not just physical games that stay with you forever. DRM-free digital PC games are even better because you can back them up a lot easier than disk/cartridge-based physical games.
I mean that it is an attempt to build a system that integrates the child so deeply, that the child can not build resistance, Montessiori's ideal is to start education at birth, how else can you 'shape' the person to take their role and responsibility in society.

In the end, it is still a system for producing workers that fit in whatever the current regime needs, and I think there should be some space for "i dont want to be a part of this, there must be some other way to live"

The first few pages of brave new world gave me this vibe, thats why I said its in the eye of the beholder, you read as much into a book as out of it.

In the same time, my daughter is growing up to be critically thinking and self aware and independent and is enjoying the school very much.

But they don't tend to give up power that easily right?

Also if there is some sort revolution how would they stay in power? Either the military supports them in which their potential fate doesn't matter or they have no way to protect themselves.
If that's truthful news, it is truly disgusting. Maybe helps some fanboys of Elon to finally wake up.
This doesn’t seem to be a very well-planned concept. Giving the software industry special tax treatment (0%!) will breed resentment while at the same time weakening the strength of their own economy.

If making it easier to get live/work visas isn’t enough to compete with Argentina, they should be seriously looking into fixing their entire tax structure.
As a child, presumably like many others, I was pretty enthralled by the concept of magic, magical formations, spells, and etc. And it was equally disheartening to not find oneself in such a world. But growing up, I realized that we already have magic in our world, which we call electricity. We have formations to harness its powers, which would be the chips, and we have spells aka coding to bring them all together to literally perform magic.
the problem is how much can you context switch. My next story really needs the previous to be through at least (g) before I can start it. I keep a collection of unrelated stories, but right now I'm focused on one feature and so it is really hard to find something that is unrelated to the previous feature. I can make a snapshot at (c), and start the next feature from there, but now if code review finds a critical problem requiring some re-work I have to merge that into the previous code which may now not fit in.

I'm currently working on a low priority story in a completely different area from the important feature my boss needs done because there is too much WIP from other stories. (I need to poke some people to look at my reviews right now - but I know they are working on critical must be done yesterday fixes)

Because junior devs should remain incompetent forever.

I’m pretty sure GitHub did display what permissions the app was requesting. The user should have been alerted and refused to proceed as soon as it requested more than ‘Access user email addresses (read-only)’, as nothing else should be required just for SSO. The user’s inattentiveness is their problem.

But sure, blame GitHub every time, even when they explicitly tell you the operation entails irreversible loss of data and have you manually retype the repository name.

1.5B dormant accounts, probably less than 1TB of storage. And as a bonus you get to hijack someones old deleted twitter handle.

Similar experience. They aren’t given a massive finely sharpened chefs knife or anything. Just a small not too pointy knife that can manage small fruit. But it is still a sharp enough metal knife early on. They also set the environment up to keep it safe. One food station. Careful movement of knives. Near a sink, etc. never heard of more than a butterfly stitch or two across a lot of kids and parents :)
Both of you need to stop throwing around “free market” as an argument point since you both evidently have no clue what it means.
All of the services you mentioned are debit cards, not credit cards. US debit cards are basically free as well, it's just that nobody uses them.
This is what I'm saying. If you call for Putin's death people go nuts but he's responsible for a war that's killed 10s of thousands.

just not generate an answer. Better than google? I do not know, but, incomparable to chatGPT (the one who wants to become).
Example prompt:
"How does python code that checks that every planar graph is 4-colorable look like?"

in ChatGPt does generate python code. Google just search

EDIT: do not missunderstand it, it is awesome a person can put all of much together, but it is not accomplishing its expectations once seen chatGPT:
When you abuse someone they'll say anything in order to get you to go away and stop. What they actually believe becomes immaterial.

You wanted them to get vaccinated. You failed to convince them that it was in their best interests. So you started attempting to force them. You tried to remove them from friends and family, to prevent them from finding work, to prevent them from accessing escape hatches such as travel. You posted adverts - "get vaccinated to avoid lockdown". The list goes on. Do what I say, or I'll punish you.

All of this is still raw and visceral in my mind. It's not fading.

They didn't want that. So they banded together and started grasping onto anything that would allow them to simply say -

"No."

That might be no to the vaccine. It might be no to one way systems. It might just be "no" to forced isolation. Ultimately, they said no.

You may feel that in the jumbled nonsense they expressed to you, in anger, as a substitute for a boundary, ignorance was expressed. But ultimately you wouldn't recognise their boundaries, you saw them only as an extension of yourself to be manipulated at will.

That's patronising, regardless of the terminology used.

You ain't going to find any sensible equalization in anything cheap. It would be way easier to find something if you are willing to split to 2.0+sub but yeah, cabling is PITA, I have that setup but I'm not exactly loving it.

> I added a passive mixer to one of the inputs so I could have an Alexa Echo Listen, another PC, a synth and a Pi that is my combo Airplay/PlexAmp speaker all go through the same speakers - Added a noise/hum filter after that, since some inputs are noisy

I ended up just getting a small mixer and use it both for that (PC, Switch, synth) and master volume control. It's a bit overkill (I don't need mono channels nor tone control or panning) and now there are much smaller options available, but that I'd imagine is best bet to have full volume control of everything in smallest package.

Seems to be just jealousy. From what I gather the old CEO and CTO liked him and his successes/goals but other junior level executives did not.

When the new CEO was brought on they started to listen to the junior executives. They poison the well by stating things like how what he is doing isn't necessary or slowing down their own goals.

Just humans being humans. As a result he will likely leave in <2 years. I don't doubt that his old org will falter extremely fast.

It seems like well run orgs with less people are highly susceptible to quick change than large useless behemoths. Seems paradoxical, but a common fate at many companies/orgs.

I think the dynamic in the UK that is much different than the US is the term on the mortgage. In the UK I believe it is a forced renewal every 5 years?

In the US having a 30 year fixed rate mortgage means the price fluctuations are all on paper and unless you are in the market they mostly don't matter at all. Sure if my house went up 50% in the last couple years then on paper that's awesome but I'm not selling anytime soon so it doesn't matter. Now if people are taking out home equity loans to extract that equity and do _something_ then they could be upside down on that house if the value drops.
I think they mostly earned their market dominance by aggressive marketing -i.e. pestering the search engine users to install Chrome, or bundling it with most Android devices. I feel that any browser that was good enough (and Firefox was) could have gained the dominant position on the market if they had the same promotion platform.

Funny thing though, I worked in ad-tech for ten years at a small player (outbrain). They're present on most major news sites around the world, which means I got to dig into the source of many of these sires. Easily 90% of their source was dedicated to serving ads or tracking behavior for campaigns. And we're talking a ton of code. It's like they're in an arms race with themselves where their site is an expensive nightmare to maintain so they add ads which makes their site an expensive nightmare so they add more ads.

One reason that sanctions haven't had an apparent immediate effect is that the Russian economy was already in a slow downward spiral. The Russian economy peaked in 2013 and has been going down hill since then. The Russian society has already been hardened by these 9 years of "hard times" and not to forget the much harder times in the 1990s.

Another reason is that Western companies stopped their sales in Russia while the West continues to buy natural gas from Russia. Short-term macroeconomic numbers will regard this as an improvement of Russia's trade balance even slightly boost their GDP.

> Let's Encrypt really only solves the problem of browsers complaining

That’s not true — it proves that the certificate issuee (is that a word?) has control over the domain that the certificate is issued to, and thus prevents MITM attacks, which a self-signed cert does not do. It’s not simply a workaround to make browsers happy.

You are correct that it doesn’t prove legal ownership of the entity.

I'm sure there are good reasons to not be vaccinated. Those generally publicly shared (Bill Gates, UN-chips, 5g, radical degrowth by chemical neutering etc etc) were not among them.

And it's like with most things. When 99% of weightlifters tell you that you cannot lift a metric ton, you'll probably want to listen to them and not the 1% who say you do, just because they can lift more weight than you.
Running out of people it can abuse, more likely.
I think this aligns with the common and infuriating Western media trope where the hero can kill any number of low level unidentified grunts but as soon as they come to the big boss guy they suddenly get morals and have to let him live.

All the pain and suffering caused by Gaddafi happened off screen to unidentified people so we were silent. His killing happened very much on screen to a recognizable "bad guy" so suddenly we found moral outrage.

The spec could just say "compilers must provide an external mechanism to initialize all variables automatically" without actually letting all programs depend on this feature being enabled. If security is the problem, letting people control this at the compiler level seems like the solution. Not forcing a semantic change on all program authors.
Very fun in a maximalist way!

I do have a nitpick though -- I'm always bothered by whenever shadows or reflections operate in a way that makes no physical sense.

And in this case, there's a funny "wobble" of the reflections on the left and right edges. From inside out, the horizon goes way down, then up, then back down again... which suggests an awfully bizarre (and likely physically impossible?) rippling shape around the edges.

Hope this is constructive feedback -- would love to see it without the side wobbles/ripples!

Yeah but those guys are all dead, so you're relying on 2nd & 3rd generation citizens to hold the same values. That doesn't generally happen.

Don't do this. Far far worse than having too much thermal paste is having too little. Assuming you are using non-conductive paste(which most these days are), be liberal with the thermal paste. As long as you stay within reason it pretty much doesn't matter thermally how excessive you apply, especially when applying on a heat spreader.
