100% would be naive, but you'd think 80% or more to be a realistic expectation...

No, it shouldn't. If not enough people are vaccinated, then no herd immunity can develop, the disease becomes long-term endemic and new mutations arise every year. If people had refused vaccinations against Polio in this way, we'd

To be honest, it is rather surprising, don't you think so? At the beginning of the vaccination campaigns it was natural for people to be skeptic of vaccines that had been developed so quickly, but you'd really expect these feeli

Regarding the article: https://i.redd.it/q5i0qrwu3ld71.png About what you said: > 9 days maybe of lingering cough and sniffles, the worst of it is typically over in 3 days or so. The mild Covid experience described in

Using your brain to differentiate between completely unrelated topics helps.

Maybe you're personally blessed with a super-strong immune system but what you're describing is not the usual common cold. A common cold takes around 9 days, and most people have to spend and are recommended to spend 3 of those in

This is a really annoying and unnecessary article. It is based on some personal anecdote of someone who was fully vaccinated and got symptomatic Covid for 1 1/2 days that felt bad. Judging from the description in the article, it lasted

Well, the one who draws faster wins. I'd expect nothing less from Texas.

I have one of these, too, a model from 1992. They're interesting since they've got persistent memory and programmability and also used to have expansion cards(!) which are very rare nowadays. However, programming them is rather co

Covid vaccines have been tested with randomized trials (Phase 3 of the testing phase). Regarding "long-term", that obviously depends on how you define "long-term but there is no need to move the goalpost. Generally speaking

by 13415 5y ago
Without randomized trials you cannot recommend a drug because you cannot exclude confounders. It seems wrong to me to even speak of "overwhelming evidence" without a randomized trial or other sound ways to control or identify for

That's true. Although it's worth mentioning that "mediums" is also accepted as a plural of "medium" in English, but not when it's used for communication media.

I have Ctrl on capslock and so it's no problem. To be honest, existing keyboard layouts are so bad that you have to remap a few keys anyway, whether you're an Emacs user or not. Tab and Capslock are gigantic for no reason, backspa

I don't understand why people keep arguing against journals or newspapers because they are allegedly ideological or biased. Everybody is ideological and biased. Are they afraid they might lose all their critical thinking skills once th

I don't think there are or could be neutral political positions, nor would it be desirable to have them.

Just go for a publisher that has a track record of typesetting and publishing technical books and reaches a large audience. I made the mistake of signing a contract with a reputable publisher for a rather technical book written in LaTeX wit

I think there are two major factors to life quality that many American cities somehow missed or never really cared about enough, being able to stroll through cities by foot and decent work conditions (mostly reasonable work and commute time

I believe people who move to the US also like the comparably low bureaucracy, as well as opportunities in some sectors. Personally, I've lost my interest in moving to the US (or even visiting it) a long time ago, around the time of Bus

Can you give me an exact definition of "benefitting society"? That sounds a lot like the "real value" of things that salon communists talk about all the time. Count me a skeptic. Opinions about what benefits society diff

While I wouldn't put it the same way he did, calling this "clearly antisemitic" goes way over board and is in my point of view unacceptable. Besides, albeit regrettable, it is common for Israelis to mix up their religion with

Thanks for linking that. It puts the issue in perspective. To be honest, I'm amazed that a blog post like that can make someone lose his job as a "head of diversity." Apparently, diversity at Google means that people should n

I'm writing novels outside in my spare time. Unfortunately, for people like me there are no reasonable options, especially since I need Windows (special software). The SunBook were too expensive to me (+tax and international delivery).

GMPL and mGPL are acronyms for the same exception, the former is just the informal term. It's the GNU Modified General License. People have been calling the license of the FSF version "mGPL" for more than a decade at least.

That's probably the worst case of nitpicking I've ever encountered in my life. Yes, you're technically correct. It's not as if you're telling anyone something new, contract law exists for a while already. I wrote th

No, it's not. It's the difference between the FSF version and this GNAT 2021 Community Edition by Adacore. The FSF version is under mGPL, this edition is under GPLv3 including the runtime which is included in every binary. I menti

This issue has been discussed for decades over and over and there are still people like you claim that I'm wrong. I am not wrong. The runtime of the Adacore Community edition is under GPL, as are many libraries included in the Adac

by 13415 5y ago
I'm neither paid not misinformed. There is no runtime exception for the Adacore Community version, it is under GPL including the runtime, hence every executable produced with it is also under GPLv3. If you want mGPL (with the runtime e

Nothing in Rust is super easy, it's an overengineered pile of crap and in 20 years from now people will be cursing at it daily.
