I wouldn't be surprised if your proposal, naively implemented would lead to worse patient outcomes.

Just simply the staff having to change hazmat suits between patients, porting in and out between plastic bubbles, would add a lot of overhead and less time to offer actual care.

Not talking about all the risks involved with that "space station" like air recirculation. "Sorry about your grandma. She did not pick up an infection, but she died when the overworked technician forgot to replace her bubble's CO2 scrubber."

Not saying that the current situation is peak optimum and the best possible. Just that infection control is not the only goal to optimise for in a hospital.
You might be interested in reading The Years of Lyndon Johnson by Robert Caro book series about him. It's incredibly well written and engaging, while also being academically rigorous, well researched and well documented. It's an (incomplete) 5 book biography-ish, maybe 4000+ pages - but also somehow a riveting page-turner.
Interesting, I have many family members who work in healthcare and all who are in regular contact with patients are required, by hospital policy, to get the flu vaccine annually. They would not be allowed to clock in if they don't get vaccinated as its determined to be a risk to the patients (the Dr or nurse can easily become typhoid mary).
I don’t think WSl is the choice of tool then.
erh no, those in java allow you to do just that. It is one of my favorite features of java. In essence, you get to embed multiple synchronized maps inside a java enum (if you want to). All handled 'invisibly' for you.

Been following the story, mostly on twitter don't know if any of this is true but at this point it is just pure entertainment reading some of the speculative theories:

If Q* is what I think it is… this is absolutely BONKERS

Q-learning has existed for decades already. It’s just a basic reinforcement learning algorithm. A* is also fairly old- it’s a heuristic-based path finding algorithm.

In typical engineering fashion, they may have found an intersection of the 2 and named it Q*. This is total speculation, but if this is a “breakthrough” that means OAI built an algorithm that can feed a highly efficient heuristic into Q-learning. That is MASSIVE.
It looks like this is what git merge-base --fork-point is supposed to do, although according to the docs it is not 100% reliable.
No. Non-technical people don't deserve a worse experience simply because they have interests besides computers and programming languages. And being "technical" isn't a signifier for being friendly, civil, intelligent or even sane - the archetype of the "cat-piss man" exists for a good reason. And the web circa 1995 was post AOL and post Eternal September. You didn't exactly need a degree from MIT to use it. It wasn't that deep.

And besides, technical people are the reason the internet is the way it is. The same people who shat in everyone's punchbowl are now complaining about the taste.
I understand, there's always more to a story than what a single person recalls. However, often people want to control the narrative of what transpired in projects and want to have a favorable recounting of events unfolded.

I've experienced a similar situation when I wanted to write a post about a nice project. Someone who wasn't involved in the work took offense (perhaps because they weren't acknowledged?) and used politics to suppress the text. It's quite unfortunate but happens a lot.
Well if there is an official Mac/Linux package with wine+the game from the developer, we could presume they want feedback.

If it's just the Proton built into Steam, then I don't know.

But then I haven't tried gaming on Linux, either desktop or a Steam Deck, lately so I don't know what the atmosphere is. Atm I only run a Mac Mini (I have Linux and Windows boxes but I only remote into them) and a PS5. On Mac OS you run games in spite of Apple, and on the PS5 games just work.

Just to be clear, there is no vaccine for the common cold, nor has there been any evidence, such as a properly conducted study, to suggest a cold can have long term effects.
Flu vaccines are many times not effective. It's not like they told them to skip a tetanus vaccine. I know it became a polarised topic but we don't need to pretend like all vaccines are the same. It's possible and likely to take a yearly flu shot and still get sick: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/vaccines-work/vaccineeffect.htm

> CDC conducts studies each year to determine how well influenza (flu) vaccines protect against flu. While vaccine effectiveness (VE) can vary, recent studies show that flu vaccination reduces the risk of flu illness by between 40% and 60% among the overall population during seasons when most circulating flu viruses are well-matched to those used to make flu vaccines

> How well flu vaccines work (or their ability to protect against a certain outcome) can vary from season to season. Protection can vary depending on who is being vaccinated. At least two factors play an important role in determining the likelihood that vaccination will protect a person from flu illness: 1) characteristics of the person being vaccinated (such as their age and health), and 2) how well the vaccines “match” the flu viruses spreading in the community. When flu vaccines are not well matched to some viruses spreading in the community, vaccination may provide little or no protection against illness caused by those viruses.

Compare it with something like tetanus vaccines:

> Today, diphtheria and tetanus are at historic low rates in the United States. No one has ever studied the efficacy of tetanus toxoid and diphtheria toxoid in a vaccine trial. However, experts infer efficacy from protective antitoxin levels. A complete vaccine series has a clinical efficacy of virtually 100% for tetanus and 97% for diphtheria.

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/dtap-tdap-td/hcp/about-vacc...

It's not crazy to behave differently around something with 40-60% efficacy and something with 97-100% efficacy.
Love the series. Not to mention debugging Rust felt somewhat neglected. I hope this works on Windows as well as Linux.
> The first-of-its-kind cluster—in five women all linked to one infected man

It seems a bit of a stretch to call this "first of its kind." Regardless of the mechanistic details, the transmission was still sexual, which is how Syphillis has always spread. It would be "first of its kind" if this cluster were linked to transmission through other means...

After reading the article, I'm not even clear what's notable about this incident, other than maybe that this specific strain happens to primarily target the ocular system (which isn't unusual anyway). Multiple people had sex with the same syphillis-infected partner, and now they all have syphillis. News at 11...

BTW: has anyone considered the chilling effect that contact tracing exemptions to HIPPA have on STI testing? Maybe this guy was hard to track down because he didn't want to be found. Maybe he didn't complete the testing procedures because he didn't want his name logged in the database as someone with syphillis...
Can you show the German?
Quite possibly. Here's what irks me: no one promises businesses/entrepreneurs a right to earn money doing what you want. You find a market to serve and use leverage to extract a price for your service. You don't find your market and leverage, you don't make money. Lord knows I've made and lost plenty.

There's at least a sizeable minority that doesn't believe this applies to professions, especially creative ones. That effort or talent or belief mean you're entitled to make a living at some thing. I'm sorry to everyone who invested 20 years in their promising celloist career but I just don't support that notion.
Moderately confident, but not 100% certain. I believe my dreams are normally longer than these experiences, and that my dreams have not involved my actual environment since I was in pre-school.
I think this is a pretty sensible approach. Git feels like one of those tools where you are given a lot of power but it's your responsibility to use it in a sensible way. A bit like with Excel or spreadsheets. You can do a lot but you can also make a big mess pretty quickly.

Polio virus isn’t close to eradication and people who work on it are coming to the conclusion that it probably never will be unless a different sort of vaccine is created. [0]

Polio the disease caused by polio virus could be eradicated with widespread and continuous vaccination.

The problem is the current vaccine used in most places around the world is an attenuated live virus vaccine.

It gives the recipient immunity by infecting them with a strain that doesn’t cause disease in most people but is still able to replicate in the gut and spread to others and eventually reverts to being able to cause disease. So anyone who isn’t vaccinated can still get the reverted vaccine strain. The most common cause of polio outbreaks now is the vaccine strain.

In rich countries they use an inactivated vaccine that works great against disease and can’t become virulent but is expensive, requires more infrastructure for delivery (needles etc), and doesn’t give enough immunity to prevent spreading the virus if infected.

There are possible solutions to all of these problems but they require research and the eradication campaigners are making research more and more difficult by restricting which labs can work on polio research.

The podcast TWiV is hosted by the guy who first figured out the Polio virus genome and they frequently discuss it. The episode below is about a new attenuated vaccine that was recently created with hopes of not reverting but even it has reverted in some small number of cases.

The term "Newtype" more specifically describes a wrapper around a single type. It's like an alias.

It's incorrect to describe an enum with two variants as a 'newtype'.

I think the example was misunderstood from https://rust-unofficial.github.io/patterns/patterns/behaviou... (which uses Password, but doesn't use an enum with two variants).

The use of enums in the example is fine; but it's not a "newtype".
> The board acted like the most incompetent group of individuals who've eve[r been] handed any responsibility.

This whole conversation has been full of appeals to authority. Just because us tech people don't know some of these names and their accomplishments, we talk about them being "weak" members. The more I learn, the more I think this board was full of smart ppl who didn't play business politics well (and that's ok by me, as business politics isn't supposed to be something they have to deal with).

Their lack of entanglements makes them stronger members, in my perspective. Their miscalculation was in how broken the system is in which they were undermined. And you and I are part of that brokenness even in how we talk about it here
The fact that ruff is expanding with VC funding has me cautiously optimistic. They will hopefully be funded and incentivized to capture the existing fragmented ecosystem of Python dev support tooling. I’m sure their monetization will be more of the same cloud hosted perks etc we see from similar companies. Which is just fine with me, as it keeps their core offering OSS orthogonal to their value prop, which is usually convenience related rather than feature related.

I normally hate one-tool-to-rule-them-all ambitions, but when it comes to linting, type hints, auto formatting, import ordering, etc (basically anything you’d want to put in a pre-commit hook), all of that could have a much more coherent story if brought under one hood. Subverting pre-commit itself would also be great. The story around the virtual envs these hooks run in is incohesive with development best practices (define your dependencies in one and only one place), and author has made it aggressively clear on multiple occasions they are uninterested in fixing that.
Good luck with your healing! I broke my sternum recently, caught a sneezing cold right after. Sometimes luck has a plan.
It's as @AgentME said, it is just meant as a disclaimer that the project should be installed via the "installer", i.e. `npm create promises-training@latest`, otherwise the project won't work as expected.

MRSA was a big worry in UK hospitals for a while. Maybe still is, but just doesn't get the press coverage.
There is steelmanning an argument, and then there is completely changing it.

There is a world of difference between having your healthcare provider tell you "the flu vaccine has to be made in advance and often targets the wrong strain, so can therefore be ineffective even the majority of the time" vs calling the vaccine putting "junk in [your] body".
This was the most useful piece of information that I have ever read about Git.

But what happens if you merge branch A into beanch B? A and B will both contain the commits of A, but in B there may be commits of B between the commits that were merged. Do the same commits of A then have different parents depending on which branch they are on?
Spoiler alert: not everyone elevates money and economy über alles. What you call "rational" I would call "endlessly cynical".

Russian invasion of Ukraine destabilized security relationships in half of Europe and quite a lot of Germans are sensitive about it. Your view that German economy matters the most and the Russian imperial project is morally irrelevant is mostly carried by AfD, which attracts about a quarter of the total vote. I would say that another quarter of the German population genuinely doesn't care that way or the other, but that still leaves about a half which considers Putin an evil guy and does not want to maintain tight contact with him, much like you don't just invite gangsters into your business for some money.

Granted, the balance of views in Germany is nowhere near as one-sided as in Poland where 90 per cent of people hate and loathe and fear Putin as a mortal enemy, but still. German nation as a whole isn't in mood to make happy deals with Putin and the actions of the politicians reflect that mood.

The feds have repeatedly been found to misuse the surveillance capabilities under the FISA court, and no one has been fired. https://epic.org/surveillance-court-finds-fbi-repeatedly-mis...

Federal law enforcement and our intelligence agencies are politically powerful organizations that pretty much do as they please and never face consequences. Even our elected officials fear them. As senator Chuck Schumer put it “Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.”
So because there are only 220 of them, they don't matter? Sure, propublica has bigger fish to fry but I appreciate this look into a community and power structure that we might never ever get to see otherwise.

> News of the vaccination programme led to a banning of vaccination in areas controlled by the Pakistan Taliban, and added to existing scepticism surrounding the sincerity of public health efforts by the international health community.

If I recall correctly, the conspiracy theory that emerged was that vaccines were secretly being used to render the people sterile.

It is interesting how 8 years later nearly the same line of thinking took hold in the West (albeit with claim of injected mind control chips) amid anti-vaxxers.
I got infected in a hospital while already suffering from an autoimmune flare. I was isolated for a week, hazmat suits, the works. Lost 15lbs in the hospital and had to take antibiotics for 3 months to make sure any resistant spores were killed. I’ve heard that fecal transplants have a very high success rate in curing Cdiff but didn’t have that option at the time.

"unlimited" only means two things : traffic shaping and rate limiting.

Well, to meet an in-year shortfall it makes sense to move the money around.

But the implication seems to be that underspending departments are "punished" with a smaller budget in subsequent years. I would naively hope a good manager would ask for a justification of the spending of both departments, and allocate the forward budget according to reasonably-evidenced projections of value for money based on the organisation's priorities or goals. Perhaps the answer is that that is just too hard, or even more prone to being gamed.

The entire point of making unsigned arithmetic UB in C was to support different bit representations of negative numbers depending on the HW.

I think the GP's point was that if you want two's complement wraparound behavior in languages where you are not allowed to wrap around signed integers you can get the same result with unsigned arithmetic.

Rust is the first not-weirdass-academic-wtf language to have these features ;)
