It reduces for both, but Moderna's still high at that "9+" week mark because of the larger dose. It's only reasonable to assume that it will plummet fast as more weeks pass. Notice also how the AstraZeneca vaccinated ar

The benefits are always balanced against the potential harm. For young males, the risk of myocarditis from the vaccine may be comparable to that from the disease according to a UK study - until that’s clarified, booster mandates have no pla

Actually there’s a UK report saying that protection against symptomatic disease wanes significantly after only 10 weeks: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/... Effectiveness against severe

It’s not proven how good this booster is. A (preliminary?) study was showing recently that the protection against infection fades away after merely 10 weeks.

This kind of checking has a long history, I've seen it first referenced in the 2006 book Java Concurrency in Practice as class annotations and field and method annotations. Clang had similar annotations for years.

That’s not a counter-argument, because most Java developers can’t write such C-like code and more importantly they don’t want to. The debate was always about idiomatic Java vs. idiomatic C. What’s amazing to me is that I’ve had such discuss

Can’t say I disagree with you. A multi-threaded, memory safe cat sounds like a worthwhile future project for the Rust community.

Programming languages like C and C++ have been used to write user space apps for decades. A language which can only be used for kernel space code is a niche within a niche within a niche. If Rust were only capable of that it would barely r

I'm not aware of any official or standard definition of system programming. There's application programming and anything which doesn't fit in there is system programming which can be low-level, middleware, etc. Go is appropri

I don’t think it’s just 6 hours. Rust requires more up-front design both during initial development and when doing maintenance compared to Python. One has to specify things in much more detail when writing Rust and sometimes that’s great,

Building V1 in a rapid development language and porting to a performant language when scale becomes an issue is a pretty popular pattern. Personally, I wouldn’t prototype in Rust either, but OTOH I’m not experienced enough in it.

The tournament UI has been broken on iOS for years. It doesn't register taps properly and some UI elements are not shown where they should be. OTOH, the website works pretty well on mobile, scrolling aside. In general, I also had the

I personally like the nostarch security books. They published a book recently called "Designing secure software" which is still on my todo list, but based on the TOC it has really good breadth. Includes threat modelling, low-level

Meanwhile, the Biontech CEO thinks that a fourth booster may be needed. For all the agility of mRNA, the reality looks like we are indeed stuck with the original vaccines. And I suspect that countries which want to implement mandatory vacci

Since parent tested all of them and they’re not kidding, it follows that yours must be a scam. Unless they didn’t test everything or were exaggerating that is.

I’ve used Better for a long time and it’s not a scam. It also doesn’t have access to web content.

For someone that's unvaccinated, on the young side that works from home and doesn't (actually can't) go to bars/restaurants/etc the risk is already low. They can only get infected outside or while meeting friends. H

No, that's not what they are saying. Slavery predates written records and was perpetrated by many cultures. It continues to exist in Africa (Mali, Niger, Sudan, etc), in India (bonded labour), in the middle east (migrant workers) and o

You’ve replied to a guy who is in Germany on a topic about Germany and then made some claims without specifying you’re from somewhere else though. That was very confusing…

Assuming you’re in Germany, you’re governed by people which managed to screw up every single aspect of handling this pandemic. From masks don’t work, to masks availability in healthcare, vaccine availability, to booster availability to maki

Vaccination is not a signal of intelligence or rationality :-) There are many many reasons why one would or would not get a vaccine. For many, the reason was to go on vacation without too much hassle. Or because of social pressure. Or becau

Not getting vaccinated is not antisocial, assuming that those people take care otherwise. The only people which exhibit antisocial behavior are those that don’t care about protecting themselves and others from infection. Wearing a mask, avo

They’re really not, they don’t know you nor do they care about you. That was just a reframing you did to make them seem malicious, when they’re mostly indifferent, afraid or misinformed.

Very thought-provoking this mistreatment of the unvaccinated. The process started with demonizing them to the point of being singled out and blamed for how the disease is impacting society. When the discrimination started, there were very f

It took Google more than a decade of trying and a VM rewrite to get close to the perceived performance of iOS. And anything performance intensive was done in the NDK anyway. All of this because of Java.

Before I ditched Windows a couple of years ago, I was able to experience first hand how bloated and slow was the software that Microsoft rewrote in C#, so I kind of understand why such rewrites were being sabotaged. If by some minor miracle

I really do not understand how any of that is relevant, it seems both you and OP are grasping at straws. The article’s conclusion was “It appears to be grossly negligent to ignore the vaccinated population as a possible and relevant source
