I'm aware of quite a few people who selectively turned their phone off or left them at home in some circumstances, but I'm not aware of anyone who really gave up their phone use. In israel, this was done centrally by cell tower

Can anyone with experience in both crossbar and 0mq and/or nng share when one would prefer one over the other (or are they essentially equivalent)?

https://github.com/microsoft/Pyjion was a really nice attempt to marry CPython with JIT in a rather generic way, but it was abandoned quickly.

There’s another side, which is that from a source code management perspective, modern pattern matching forces you to group implementation by operation (to get all the benefits), modern OO let’s you group by “class”. There’s no right or wro

I don’t have time now to check this, but most research I know shows mutations happen significantly more often in the immune compromised even when vaccinated on one hand, and that while increased transmissibility is associated with a strai

I agree, but that's the thing: It is non idomatic to write immutable Shape-style classes in C++. Possible, yes. Idiomatic, no. IIRC in Stroustroup's book (the one I read a decade ago, anyway), he concludes that Rect:Square and Cir

I was referring to total incidence, because approved vaccines have total incidence (Israel, where I now reside, has >84% of eligible population already vaccinated), so that's what you should compare to when considering vaccine adver

No, I'm not comparing to "covid stops spreading", but I'm also not assuming (as you seem to be) "everyone will eventually get it in the way whoever got it so far got it". > Each scenario has associated cost.

I should have added "in C / C++ / C#". Everything OOP works well in Smalltalk (and most of it does in Python), but you pay dearly for that in efficiency - which is what this article as about.

I appreciate it too, and I don't believe I am. I wasn't aware it is now an integrated part of the JDK, but it doesn't change much; I've used ANTLR decades ago (and YACC even more decades ago) which is ... essentially the

I don't know how you read that into what I wrote. It doesn't have to be perfectly safe; but it has to be significantly safer if you get it, than the disease if you get it -- which is, in fact, the case for all regularly administer

Thank you, I failed to find this one in my previous literature search. I don't have it handy now, but for at least one SARS-Cov-1 vaccine candidate everything seemed fine, and good immediate antibody response (as in this paper), but an

That what I refer to as the "Turing complete" argument. Yes, you can definitely do all of those. But almost no one does - and those that do, usually silo themselves from the ecosystem. Yes, if you like Java, you can definitely imp

Indeed. But it's a nontrivial question of numbers. The vaccine has to be orders of magnitude safer than the virus, because (essentially) everyone will get the vaccine, but only some will get the disease. E.g. it might be harmful to vac

It's the APL/J/K/Fortran model. It fits modern CPU and memory architectures, it fits GPUs, and slow external storage. And rather surprisingly, it always has, even when memory latency was 1 cycle and there was no prefetch

It is easy to declare, but it is not easy to use: You can pass the whole thing, but if you want to pass a subset of it? just one element? When you want to extend it, you have to extend many individual arrays, etc. When you want to copy entr

It's unclear to me (and apparently to the people doing this research - they state they haven't been able to figure that out yet). It is clear, though, that not everyone gets covid, but (in Israel) essentially everyone gets the vac

There is a preliminary report from the Israeli MOH (so far, only in Hebrew) that estimates vaccine-induced myocarditis incidence at 1:20,000 for the 16-30 group, and 1:100,000 overall. The report text says they have trouble getting good est
