I am not sure what the best way to communicate with these kinds of parents is. This is a parent with a very specific kind of mindset about who should be the ultimate authority on their child. More often than not, it becomes unhealthy for the child living in this environment both physically and emotionally.

Everyone understands the parents ultimately mean no harm, but their warped perception of science, among other things, means their actions are harmful. But trying to point this fact out makes them very, very defensive and they take it personally. Others only spend energy communicating because they want to help the child too.

That's the thing that always causes me difficulty when dealing with parents like this, it's like talking to a brick wall. My usual attempt is trying to get them to see me as someone speaking from a place of trustworthiness, but it's frustrating. Usually the kids are smart enough to pick up on certain things so I guide them a little. For context, I tutor. The same parents that dismiss me about things like this or getting a diagnosis/treatment for ADHD pay me to teach their kids about science and math. I want to continue caring and trying, but I understand why teachers become so jaded.

Does anyone have suggestions?
Given the density of the US rail network it's rather more than "last mile", but yes - rail depots are not where you actually want the goods to be in most cases, and you need to do something about that. The question is more whether it would be more efficient to only truck goods as far as the nearest rail freight node and then have it shipped that way rather than via interstate. The article here suggests that's not viable because many vendors are shipping quantities that aren't economically viable given rail freight costs, but doesn't really address why that's the case.

See the "routine" in the title?

The linked-to page says those are: "measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) shot; the diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis (DTaP) shot; and the shots against poliovirus and varicella (chickenpox)."

Not COVID vaccination.
You are likely extending a battery life by about a minute per day by saving like this.
It's this combined with the horror of not having vaccines, people have forgotten or don't know what that looks like, so we probably have to see children destroyed from diseases (we already have vaccines for) before people will understand why things like vaccine mandates exist.

I do agree with others though, I don't feel the same way about Covid19 vaccines, even though I took them, it really does, in retrospect, look like a lot of it was trying to get people onto a yearly vaccine plan, "get your yearly covid19 booster", I don't like that personally.
On the hardware, it's fundamentally integer arithmetic under the hood.

Floating point itself is an implementation on top of that.

With a slide rule it's basically truncated integers all the way, you're very limited on significant figures, you float the point in your head or some other way, and apply it afterward. You're constantly aware of any step where your significant figures drop below 3 because that's such a drastic drop from 3 down to 2. Or down to 1 which can really slap you in the face.

The number of decimal places also is an integer naturally which is related to scientific notation. Whether a result is positite or negative is a simple flag.

On a proper computer, integer addition, subtraction, and multiplication are exact. It's the division which produces integers which are not exact, since they can usually be truncated results, as they are written to memory at the bitness in use at the time, storing the whole-number portion of the quotient only.

Integer arithmetic can usually be made as exact as you want and it helps to consciously minimize divisions, and if necessary offset/scale the operands beforehand such that the full range of quotients is never close enough to zero for the truncation to affect your immediate result within the number of significant figures necessary for your ultimate result to be completely reliable.

The number of significant figures available on even an 8-bit computer just blows away the slide rule but not if you don't take full advantage of it.

What sometimes happens is that zero-crossing functions, when the quotients are not offset, will fluctuate between naturally taking advantage of the enhanced bitness of the hardware for large values (blowing away the slide rule a huge amount of the time), while "periodically" dropping below the accuracy of a slide rule when some quotient, especially an intermediate one, is too near zero. Floating point or integer.

If there's nobody keeping track of not just the magnitude of the possible values, but also the significant figures being carried at each point, your equations might not come out as good as a slide rule sometimes.

Edit: IOW when the final reportable result is actually a floating point number where you need to have an accurate idea how many figures to the right of the decimal place are truly valid, it might be possible to use all integer calculations to your advantage from the beginning, and confidently place the decimal point as a final act.
Brilliant article, thank you. Your experience mirrors mine from the 90s warehouse rave days in Montreal, Canada.
If you need to sum a large array of numbers, it might not be a bad idea to sort that array first.
Because of delayed gratification.

People are mostly motivated by gratification. You've written _functioning_ code - you can instantly see how it solves the problem at hand. You've written _beautiful_ code - you can stare in satisfaction at the negative total in `git diff --stat`.

You've written secure code - you reward comes in the form of nobody talking about your code for the next twenty years ;)

This is the very visible hand of the government deciding to not create and enforce rules which would appropriately address this issue.

It's interesting to note that the creator of C and his well known friend also created m4 in the 70's, and it's very similar to "string interpolation", maybe even taken to the extreme.

I was actually program-wise "raised" by The C Programming Language in the early 90's, and I only found out about m4 a month ago.

Same experience here from another European user. I've only accepted the bare minimum to be able to use and update the TV and its apps. I haven't seen any ads ever, or not that I can remember anyway. Not even recommendations for TV shows and the likes. It's an LG C9 with an older version of webOS. I do see in the DNS logs that the TV and some of the apps connect to analytics domains.
And most importantly, because the streets are very slippery and the people look unhappy regardless.

You'll get no argument from me that both ecstacy and nitrous oxide are incredibly dangerous. I don't do ecstacy and I'm not keen on being sedated with nitrous oxide. I wish things had been different for your friend. I think a recreational drug culture isn't well equipped to understand and respond to hazards like this; I wish we had something different, where use was more mindful and it wasn't driven underground, making it inaccessible to doctors and researchers.
Next.js is a fantastic solution if you're building a SPA.

Imagine I'm a very early stage startup so I start out with a simple app built on Laravel. All my engineers are relatively non-senior PHP folks, not great at JavaScript. So it's rendered server-side in PHP - easier to achieve enough performance, security, maintainability by leveraging the framework. Then I want to put some tiny bit of client-side interactivity. Going full SPA with Next.js would involve a lot of extra cost and complexity. jQuery and Alpine fit well into that niche, and Alpine particularly helps with reacting to state in a way that jQuery is hard.
Whataboutism doesn't help. Drugs do destroy lives and it's hard to offset by a bunch of hippies making them a centrepiece of theirs.
I believe that is their exact point.
Because security without a threat model is an endless well of paranoia that leads to mere paralysis, an inability to change because of some infinitesimal chance that someone with unguessed capabilities and unclear goals might subvert a fundamental part of the system.

In short: Give me a threat model, by which I mean realistic groups with goals and capabilities, and we can mitigate the risks. Just talking about "security" in a void is pointless at best and harmful at worst, since ill-considered security measures have a habit of leading to even worse insecurity.
The Amy Winehouse documentary really made this clear to me. She wins a Grammy which should be a peak of ones career as a musician and she tells her friend that "this is so boring without the drugs".

I'm using an apple tv with a fairly new LG OLED and never get any ads (I do let it update).

So I think it's just in the WebOS, which I don't really ever use.

In other words, you can use it as a stupid panel and not get ads.
Every single time I've introduced property based testing, even as a simple example, I've discovered a bug in either the code or the spec.

I've found a bug in a Haskell program about fib generation - your test would work (if fixed for the subtractions) but incorrectly as there was an overflow in the addition. A basic property of "fib(n+1) > fib(n)" for n>1 finds this.

I like this type of testing as it asks you to more generally consider what guarantees your code is making about its operation.

Edit - your example is a good one and necessary, I just wanted to add a bit extra as I really like property based testing

To my knowledge, there are two ways to get accelerated graphics in a macOS VM: GPU passthrough, and paravirtualized GPU.

GPU passthrough from a Linux host to a Mac VM is already possible. Even with Docker in the sandwich. Then it’s a question of Docker-OSX being furnished for it.

I believe the GPU passthrough foundation is already there:

PR #132: https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX/pull/132

”[…] this PR introduces GPU passthrough support. This requires extensive configuration on the host”

—

Then there’s “paravirtualized” graphics. I don’t get the name; as far as I know, this is when the guest OS has a virtual graphics device and a driver for it – with acceleration — and the virtual graphics device is actually served and accelerated like any other graphics-accelerated software by a GPU on the host.

As mentioned elsewhere, paravirtualized graphics are available on mac-host-to-mac-guest, and to my knowledge only mac-inside-mac.

(But the “outside” mac can probably be a virtual machine as long as it has a GPU. Even if it’s a passthrough device. Should be technically possible at least and I would guess that it just works.)

Finally, un-accelerated graphics in a macOS VM are surprisingly fast these days. At least on my Linux machine in qemu-kvm, recent versions of kernel / qemu etc. It’s noticeably slower than having properly accelerated graphics but muuuuch faster than I was expecting from macOS VMs I’ve used before.

Finally, headless access to virtualized macOS goes really fast. Working on a mac VM through mosh-shell is excellent.

> From an end user point of view, Safari is the best browser

Maybe if you’ve never used another browser.

Safari is good enough and offers the best battery life. This is all that’s good about it.

The dev tools suck, especially the network tools. The extensions suck. The weird distinction between bookmarks, favorites and reading list makes no sense so I always lose the pages I wanted to keep. On desktop the animations are awful (e.g. when swiping to go to the previous page, it blinks way too much, this is especially visible with Dark Reader because the dark-white transitions will kill your eyes).

I use Firefox on my work laptop and it’s just a better browser. I’ve got no complaints about it.
Brave browser blocks all youtube video ads.
The law doesn't care about technical tricks. It cares about how you got the bytes and what humans think of them.

Sure, the windows 11 codebase is in pi somewhere if you go far enough. Sure, pi is a non-copyrightable fact of nature. That doesn't mean the windows codebase is _actually_ in pi legally, just that it technically is.

The law does not care about weird gotchas like you describe.

I recommended reading this to a sibling comment, and I'll recommend it to you too: https://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/entry/23

Yes, copyright law has obviously irrational results if you start trying to look at it only from a technical "but information is just 1s and 0s, you can't copyright 1s and 0s" perspective. The law does not care.

Which is why we have to think about the high level legal process that stable diffusion does, not so much the actual small technical details like "can you recover images from the neural net" or such.
It would be interesting to have such a general project go somewhere.

While in principle structural editing sounds like an incredible advance, there are 'good enough' advantages to plain-text tools that make it a much more practical solution. The other issue is of course integration with existing tooling, which you either skip entirely or compromise on the design.

What I feel is missing, between the description of "old, bad state of things" and "utopian vision" is a review of some of the projects that already tried to achieve this ideal state. It turns out there are a number of them, and most of them failed to achieve any traction or impact [0].

The rants are very long, so I skimmed quickly the one about git; I understand the complaints, although git is only bringing me joy and no pain --interactive rebase, absorb and a few aliases made it a breeze. But in a similar fashion there are projects trying to solve its fundamental issues, like pijul(.org); what are they missing?

I tested positive in mid-February 2022. I had been double vaxxed with the second one administered on Christmas Eve of 2021.

The symptoms started with swollen red feet (which I somehow dismissed) followed by really strange vivid dreams that night. The following day I woke up in the morning and was unusually tired, and so took a nap on the couch and silenced my phone for a while.

I was feeling relatively normal post-nap. Later in the evening before sleep time I took my dog for a walk. It was -2C outside and the air felt warm as it hit my face, and as I was walking the stairs back up into my flat (on the third floor) my legs felt abnormally weak, and at that stage I took a test, which was a solid positive.

That same night I contracted a high fever and informed all my co-workers. I don't recall having had a virus where I would literally spend minutes/hours self-negotiating to get a glass of water, or go to the toilet, and for the first four-five days I had no appetite whatsoever. I was in and out of sleep for that period and fully devoid of energy for about ten days. I tested negative on the ninth days.

For the next three weeks, I had almost no energy, little ability to concentrate - overall it took about a month to get back on my feet and about two months to feel "normal" again.

Overall, I think there's something to long covid, but I'm no doctor.

My grandmother was like that with the National Enquirer and Weekly World News. She knew it was fake garbage but she couldn't resist reading it and you could tell some of it did end up sinking into her mind as being true on some level. But at least those tabloids weren't tracking her. She bought them at the grocery store each week so they didn't even have her on a mailing list. I do believe they had some scammy ads in the back of each issue but I don't recall that ever being a problem for her. Granddad had no interest and just kept to his Popular Mechanics and Popular Science magazines, both of which at times had articles and ads of questionable quality but were far better than the tabloids and modern online clickbait.
You're referencing a study about china, which had severe lockdowns, and one that isn't about kids in school but the 18-24 age group. Completely different populations studied.
Is there a point in using NOTIFY in PostgreSQL, instead of just generating the HTML file when saving a new comment? The performance cost of doing a simple SELECT and writing a file in the request handler is neglible (especially since you are talking to the database anyway), but a NOTIFY-less solution is far simpler and will work with any database, even sqlite.
It's also dangerous to do it that often. Minimum time between doses should be 3 months to be as safe as possible. People who drop more than once don't understand how it works and are just setting themselves up for medical emergencies.

And in fact, many do. There's also scores of people who enjoyed drugs without issues. You probably won't hear anything from any of them, given the social stigma.
> But Switzerland has a history of democratic and political participation that most countries do not have.

Can't have a tradition without starting.

> o begin with, it's very decentralized with every canton having their own constitution and their own way of doing things

Growing up in Switzerland is quite funny where you have people from like 30min away, who literally have a totally different school system.

Its kind of like the American system but in some ways cantons can do even more then states can in the US. The Swiss system being basically adopted from the US one but on a smaller scale. So you have cantons of 200k people that have the same power-level as California.

> sortition

That something I have not really considered much, I should study that some more.

> Anyway given that you're in Switzerland you should see what they've proposed for the canton of Vaud with regards to these matters.

Ill have to look into that.

I know there is a secessionist movement where villages are moving from Bern (Bern was the war monger expansionist part of the Old Confederacy) to Vaud but that might be unrelated.
Indeed. Farmed ones aren't given the same diet. I suspect it's not as healthy for them either, but it does well enough for industrial purposes. Think of cattle feed v grass, etc
Well, there was a copyright case in Europe recently where an artist had taken a photograph, flipped it horizontally, and painted it.

> They are building a lot of housing in Arizona, it is mostly luxury apartments which contributes to the problem of affordable rents because it tends to increase the rents of neighboring apartments.

This does not make any economic sense whatsoever.

From your sibling comment:

> Unless population grows faster than prices can decrease keeping demand high.

Isn’t it the population growth that’s causing rent increases? Not luxury apartments, unless you think luxury apartments are the cause of this population growth. I suppose that wouldn’t be impossible, but it’s more something you’d expect to see in places like Jackson Hole.
>Mobile is eating the web. Mobile (Android - it's all Safari on iOs) Firefox is a bad experience.

Allow me to second this!I have a not-so-small bookrmark collection (~600). When I discovered FF tags, I was ecstatic: assigning multiple tags to a single bookmark makes navigating the pile really good.

But, as soon as I discovered that neither iOS nor Android version of Firefox supports tags, I felt betrayed. Add to it the inability to export full FF profile (such peculiarities as about:config overrides, extension lists etc) and you end up with a very disgruntled user. So I ended up with trusting desktop Safari. Turns out it has _similar_ feature called bookmark description.

I still resent Chromium-based products, because UX is wrong to me. But FF is certainly mismanaged if not sabotaged and the upper level management will bury it. Or the time will make FF almost irrelevant.
Probably just to prevent cars from driving over that area.
I understand that is what the story has said but as another poster has indicated a lot of doctors are only doing vaccinations if parents "agree to all required vaccines" which in most areas of the US they have added COVID to that list

So if they make it "take them all including COVID or none"

Then naturally parents that refuse to give their children the new COVID treatment will also have to choose refuse the "routine" ones as they are not being given the opportunity to only receive the routine vaccines with out COVID
