You get that the hospitals were being overrun by people dying of covid, right? It was to the point where emergency care wasn't available because hospitals were full.

I doubt your claim, but even then, there are plenty of other reasons why having such a high unvaccinated population is a problem.
Well, so can a printer. Most humans suck at art.
So can we as stakeholders honestly think when we're on Diablo 22 in 2039 that we can expect this kind of money making continue? Look at what Activision does. Look at how Fortnite is eating Call of Duty and Overwatch's lunch. Software companies are expected to revolutionize and innovate not 'evolutionize' and rehash.
Awesome release, I might want to try this in my Phoenix project. Are there any major disadvantages to doing this vs bringing Python ecosystem into the mix, aside from obviously, missing out on tooling?
I imagine if deep learning is going to lead to molecular assemblers, it will more likely be in the automated design of enzymes and similar structures that could be easily mass produced by say the genetic engineering of some microbe.
* Built in locking (so you don't need to worry about two instances of your cron running at the same time)

* Built in functionality for telling when the cron last ran, and whether it was successful or not (so you can do alerting)

* Ability to specify human-readable schedules

* Built-in feature for randomising cron start time to avoid stampeding
I used to flat with a guy from Vanuatu. As a child he stepped on some coral. It got badly infected and he went to the local clinic. They discovered they had run out of any pain killers so they went and got some big guys to hold him down. They then cut his foot open and cleaned the infection out. While he was being held down and screaming in pain. He eventually passed out.

The same guy went home for the holidays. He was to take a boat to get to his parents island. The boat was 3 days late. No communication so he basically camped waiting for the boat. He told me this was not unusual, you just had to wait. They did not tell you it was delayed or when it would come.

He also told me that on his parents Island they spoke two totally different native languages. I asked how that was possible. How did they trade? He told me, "oh no if you crossed the river they would kill you". I asked how long ago that was and he told me it was during his fathers childhood.
Coz majority of them did not get vaccine for ideological reason, not for actual medical reason (allergies/bad reactions to vaccine)
I have not played StarCraft in a long time so can't speak for that, but ranked AoE2 games are still being played with players of all skill levels.
Would we still expect such adamant evolutionary opposition to homosexuality if we took into account kin selection or that sexuality is a complex thing whose genetic component is likely to be influenced by many different genes and it is possible that the set of genes that in some particular combinations give homosexuality give in other combinations heterosexuality plus some additional survival benefits that make it overall worthwhile to preserve those genes that can give homosexuality?
Glad to see it and more important than implementation language I think.
Who would opt in to using it? Only people who don't need the extra encouragement. It would be easy but entirely ineffective.
I'm not so sure.

It is very interesting--and newsworthy--how difficult it is to be anonymous on the internet. Any person, place, or thing can be "doxxed" by seemingly innocuous background details.

It's easy to verify that married people make more money than unmarried people: https://bigthink.com/smart-skills/married-wage-gap/#:~:text=....

It's easily verified by data you can find in many studies, and presumably the census itself. Of course it doesn't technically prove causality - it could be that the type of people who are successful just happen to be the same type of people who get married. Or maybe they get married precisely because they are successful - or unsuccessful people have a harder time finding spouses.
Blackrock is, of course, free to start making things, or to increase their assets by buying from people who are.

Yeah, I always found watching MOBAs boring but I never really played them; at least RTS I knew roughly what they were doing and doing better than I could.
I’ve been digging for a way to do this with defaults write and plists. So far I haven’t figured it out.

> With the F-117, the shape was part of the secret sauce. The B-21 doesn’t seem to be a big departure that way.

The world has also changed substantially. When the F-117 was developed, being able to simulate the RF interactions with faceted geometry was ground breaking stuff. Now anyone that can afford an ANSYS license can simulate that with far, far, greater fidelity against much more complex shapes.
I'd be interested to see this data weighted against population density. As-is, I suspect it's massively tilted by how in places like Los Angeles, Chicago, or NYC you can go 5 miles and practically be in a different country.
Ben Thompson made a good case recently for why it might be premature/misguided to block this deal. Basically, Microsoft is trying to create a completely new business model with Game Pass, which could be a big improvement for consumers if they don't need to buy consoles or gaming rigs any more.

> Microsoft, like Google, is creating a cloud streaming service; Microsoft, though, is not only offering a business model that is uniquely enabled by the cloud, but is spending billions of dollars directly and indirectly (through foregone sales) to get that business model off of the ground (when-and-if Game Pass has a huge subscriber base, then signing up 3rd-parties will be easy — the challenge is getting to scale in the first place). This is the work that Google was never willing to do, and why Stadia was doomed to fail.

> This also explains why I worry the eagerness of regulators to act before markets exist in any meaningful way is a bad idea. One of the acquisitions Microsoft has made in pursuit of this subscription strategy is Activision Blizzard, and I do, for the record, think it is important to scrutinize this deal, and perhaps extract guarantees from Microsoft that some of the titles involved (particularly Call of Duty) remain cross-platform (which as I noted, makes economic sense anyways)...

> This framing suggests that Microsoft is going to unfairly win a cloud gaming market that is inevitable, much like Google once won the inevitable Internet search opportunity. The lesson of the Google cemetery, though, is that inevitable opportunities are the exceptions, not the rule; to that end, I would argue that Stadia’s failure is evidence that absent a Microsoft-level investment the cloud gaming market will never come into being in the first place.

> Much of the expats were dumbfounded

I've had some very interesting experiences bumping into expats around the world. It's amazing how many times they expect <remote, undeveloped country> to function exactly like their extremely expensive and developed home country.

They complain about the differences endlessly, but of course they want extremely cheap food, accommodation and alcohol.

It's a very big disconnect.
$7b seems wrong. That would require about 40 million subscribers each paying $15 a month. Peak subscribers was 12 million and many would be paying for slightly cheaper long term subs.
Theft and fraud aren't the same thing. Obviously, one can commit theft by the means of fraud. Fraud is a personal representation and trust relationship, and cannot be solved by a mathematical equation. A DEX might preclude the need for trust relationships in order to prevent the circumstances that make fraud possible, but it doesn't solve for fraud and, as FTX proved, crypto itself (using the commonly understood term, as opposed to the one you invented where the only things that are crypto are DEX) doesn't solve for fraud.
> Whenever I mention that it's cruel to exclude people like him from society, due to vaccine requirements

I know that I’ve only advocated for people who are voluntarily unvaxxed, but medically eligible, face increased scrutiny. I would never suggest anything of the sort for your friend. That’d be like discriminating against someone who requires a wheelchair or cannot see.
Why would it refute that? No-one said Mastodon is the Fediverse. The author is talking about Mastodon specifically.
Sorry but I'm not volunteering. I tried a contract with an old legacy company. It was misery. Being the only person in the room keeping up with technology, made every change to move them forward into agony.

> Are you suggesting that the WSJ is totally off base by drawing the conclusion that pressure from TCI, via this letter, is not the cause of the restructuring?

Yes. In fact its off base enough that I don't think they actually make that claim in the article.

TCI holds something like .5% of alphabet market cap, that's less than is held by multiple individual human investors in Google, and likely less than rank-and-file employees hold collectively. It'd be weird to pay any attention to such a group.
> Billy Mitchell of Fyre Festival

You mean Billy McFarland. Billy Mitchell appears entirely innocent of this ;-)
I kinda get it: they're intentionally and knowingly hurting others (those with legitimate medical reasons they can't get the vaccine). I saw some folks who did not get vaccines (I know this because they called those of us who got vaccines "sheep" and other derogatory terms) conspicuously cough near others.
:) a pity it's a little bit hard to see where the output ends and your post-output comments begin. I do suppose you noticed that the output is in error! Obviously too plausible - some poor idiot might trust this "intelligence".
Microsoft... "We love Linux!"

Microsoft, "We make all attempts to prevent games from running on anything but our platform."
Two doctors told me the vaccine may not be safe for someone with my rare condition (There's a list of medications and interventions as long as my arm that I can't take because they could literally kill me).

In spite of this, neither doctor was initially willing to put their opinion on paper so I could keep my job because of the immense pressure on them to get everyone vaccinated. Thank God, the specialist I saw came back in the room with a change of heart and wrote me the letter.

Interacting with society during this whole time felt quite upsetting. It really felt as if society in general would rather see me risk dying as long as it kept them safer.

Being forced to go into my personal medical history to justify my choices was a weird experience.

I really feel for people who've had to deal with that sort of thing for longer than the brief period of time I have.
There's old saying in finance: "Never trust an analyst".

If the analysis is so great, it won't be distributed on the internet for free. These financial management firms are always "talking their book", that is they cherry pick their data to support their portfolio.

Black Rock has seriously underperformed compared to XLF ( ETF for finance) year to date.

Perhaps they are just looking for excuses.
it's perfectly possible to make memory safe programs in Zig. there are many an innovation that Zig brings to the table
Starcraft 2 is the only game the thought of queueing up for a 1v1 game gets my heartrate up (ladder anxiety). It's not so much the winning or losing, but the fact that games are just 20+ minutes of full-tilt. Whether you're winning or losing, there's zero downtime because there's always something that needs to be done.

Other competitive games like CS/Valorant gives you downtime in between rounds and when you die. Similarly with MOBAs, travel time in between your base and lane, when you die. Even fighting games, when you get a hit in, it's back to muscle memory for your bread and butter combo, and rounds are much shorter.
> Is linux also EEE?

Oh yes, quite intentionally. See also "viral" licenses like the GPL.
Not the OP. It's a literal claim, not metaphorical.

Pipes break. Schools wear out. Roads wear out. Houses and fencing wear out, etc.

Many cities don't budget in perpetuity and (further) can't maintain existing infrastructure as a population bulge dissipates or as young people move away.
This would be needlessly insulting if it were posted as a top level comment, but as a direct reply to a Nix user it is impossible to read as anything other than the worst of condescension. Can you really say this is a net improvement to the tone of the conversation in this thread?
The main use case here is not as much building Zig for an new architecture, as it is a way to let contributors build latest Zig trivially.

Without a bootstrap process like this one, it could happen that you run git pull and then can't build the compiler because it's using a new feature that the version of the compiler you have doesn't support yet.

The wasm process ensures that you can always build the latest commit.
Mobile games live and die by aggressive marketing. With conversion ratio in the single digit, it's not uncommon for half of their operating costs to be advertising. And then you add the actual housekeeping and R&D on top of that...
Roger that.

Did that feel cathartic?
Triathlon culture is like this too, most endurance people are a bit insular and weird, but triathlon culture (owing likely to the three sports and socially interacting with people in those three spheres) was a lot more social.

Plus, triathlon is inherently so much more interesting to talk about. You get all the bike gear stuff, there's talking about good routes to both run and bike, there's destinations to go to for training and racing.

Finally, you get to interact with swimmers, who are frankly the most fun and accepting of the three, I think owing to the fact that it involves people that are basically spending time together naked wearing only the thinnest, smallest amount of clothing possible.

I moved from where I grew up. The biggest advantage is access to better career paths and potential with my career. If I get laid off, there are more diverse work options, unlike where I grew up.

The flip side is that being able to have family help out easily when our kid is sick. Also I have friends who stayed back home (the ratio matching this article title pretty closely) and they have barbecues together, can hang out on a random night around a fire pit, watch movies in their backyard, and other fun things. About planting roots and settling down.

I'm really torn about these two ways of going about it. There's something very comforting about setting down roots and having a solid network of friends and family. The flip side is that you're probably leaving a lot of opportunity on the table. The history of success in America seems to lean towards being nomadic.
Perhaps for you city dweller's, but for the rest of us, we really like our suburbs.

Not being able to walk everywhere is literally not even a factor I look for when moving to a new area. I want quiet, safety, cleanliness, privacy and affordability.

I have yet to see the metropolis that checks all of those boxes, or any of them for the matter.
We Might Have Long Covid All Wrong
Yeah, though if you really want reliability through one piece of equipment it'll be something with dual parallel a+b 48v power feeds and hotswap fan modules.
> Whenever I mention that it's cruel to exclude people like him from society,

Your friend was at higher risk from COVID due to to their medical condition. It might be cruel to ask them to reduce their social interaction, but many medical conditions are like that. Their feelings don't change the problem or reduce the risk. It does does not seem to be completely unfounded.
if a person with access to much more credit than you, and has more cash than you, is competing with you to get a house when there are not many houses, how can you be the cause of the increase in price?

secondly, if the entire house market is so over-priced that only people that have a house to sell, and new cash, and substantial access to credit are the ones getting any house at all, how is the cause of the price rise the buyer?

thirdly, if the total capital in the system has been multiplied by QE and network effects on assets, such that you the middle-class buyer are not able to afford even a bid, how is that the result of the middle-class house buyer?
For context, Numba also uses the LLVM and it works with Python code via decorators.
There's a big difference, legally and morally, between not granting a positive right (eg. a licence to drive cars) and violently denying negative rights (eg. meeting with family, being in public, peacefully seeking basic needs, speech).

Acquiring a licence does not require an experimental gene therapy with alarming or unknown side effects.

As the dust is settling and more is becoming known, will apologies be forthcoming? Can forgiveness ever be expected for the terrible and life-changing oppression imposed and encouraged over the last few years?
> what is it about some people who seem to be constantly restless while others seem content to staying pretty much exactly where they were born

IMO the main factors would be your economic situation and your relationship with your family. People with little money and tight family ties probably wouldn't be keen to move very far, whereas someone with a bad or indifferent relationship to family and the means to head elsewhere would probably do so.
This sounds like either a Salesforce project or the Microsoft equivalent (i forget what it's called). I do a lot of Salesforce, the best Salesforce people for configuration and customization are seasoned software developers.

What surprised me the most was just how vicious and cruel the people in my life could be towards the unvaccinated. It went beyond mere schadenfreude. Many of my otherwise tolerant and empathetic friends eagerly ate up any and all news about anti-vaxxers suffering or even outright dying.

I don't know how much of this was a result of them getting caught up in the social media bandwagon (Twitter, r/HermanCainAward) or because this was the most significant and close to home "us vs. them" situation in our lives up until this point.
At this time.
Upper middle class may be more accurate.
I did php and moved to other languages. I don't feel liberated.

In fact php with composer and tooling is really good these days. Most people I've met (in person) who hate on php can't say why. They tend to equate php with wordpress.

I've picked up their projects and see many problems but I don't go blame the language they chose.
This could be done without an acquisition though, no? There are a bunch of games on Game Pass from non-MS studios. They just need to draft an agreement with Activision, which would be far cheaper and less monopolistic.
> It's really too bad that people have to move around for economic and other opportunity.

The article doesn't support your bias. It's mostly those from affluent families that move farther from home, not people looking for work.

"By linking young adults to their parents, we can see that this migration is primarily driven by individuals who grew up in affluent families."
I'd assumed that such people got medical exemptions in most countries:

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/nhs-covid-pass#if-you-are-unable...

But maybe all the people respondng to your comments online where from nations that didn't do this.
Leaving aside the question of whether it's portfolio appropriate or a good idea, how does an individual reasonably invest in global investment grade credit or inflation protected bonds?

I see TIPS in the US paying at ~1.5% while 5 year T-notes are at 4+%. Assuming that inflation will continue to drop, but remain above the target, wouldn't we expect to see T-bills and T-notes continuing to outperform TIPS?

Surely I am misunderstanding something...
