Oh no. I was just tweeting about my new build system. Already got 3 libraries.

Nah, it seems more likely that the mgmt. saw the list of bugs and said "don't admit to those!" and the performance improvements ... " Don't say we used to use a stupid O(n^3) algorithm!

The OP wasn't re-writing them. Instead the OP fed the old version into a tool (Disassembler) which spat out terrible source code, worse than the original with no comments and bad variable names. This was the only way to get source at a

You don't need to change your password unless it gets compromised. Changing passwords regularly is a security myth. It's more important to use a unique password per service.

Well, naturally we won't eliminate Covid globally until we globally pursue an elimination strategy. It's a pity that more nations aren't doing so.

That's why you can't come out of lockdowns after just 14 days. At this point you can really start mopping up with contact tracing and so forth. A further 14 days and any regions with no cases are safe to exit lockdown, as long as

Any nation could do the same. It's less to do with "being an island" so much as "having strong borders" I feel like "only NZ could have done this, since they are an island" is a cop-out. Any nation could a

Any discussion of viral load seems too subtle for a general audience, but that's sound. It's kind of like Vaccine + mask + low exposure (social distance, short times, good ventilation) is your "armor class" against the v

"most of the spread by vaccinated people happened when they had symptoms" Sounds like there is still a cultural / communication issue where people are not getting tested or self-isolating when sick.

Best of luck for your recovery. It sounds like it's "Mild" only in the "You're not about to die just yet" sense. Delta is a cruel variant. I hope all of your family recovers also.

Okay, so we had a couple of cases. Then we went into level 4 lockdown (essentials only, leave house to exercise or supermarket). That happened in 2020. The spread stopped, though we detected cases for the next two weeks (as normal for Covid

The word "Eliminate" has an epidemiological meaning and it is not up to you to interpret it into some other word. Eliminate revolves around the strategy of stopping viral spread in a given population until there are no new cases.

"past the point of lockdowns stopping it" You are never past the point of lockdowns stopping it. It just takes 14 days of strict lockdowns and all the people who are currently infected without knowing it have progressed to either

It certianly felt that way from here in NZ. I think part of our successful economic recovery is because it wasn't only OPEN but SAFE. In the US and UK there are families living in fear of infection, leading to less consumer behavior.

Here's a nice graph of NZ restrictiveness compared to UK and US. You'll see we peak up higher than either but then drop down to very low restrictions. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-stringency-index?

Indeed! And most of those more recent cases are the families of known contacts. Unfortunately Delta is very good at spreading within the household. People enter lockdown, realise they are a case and are moved to quarantine almost immediatel

One more reason not to let it breed in the human population - That's the easiest way to avoid creating new variants and spreading it to the local ecosystem.

Thanks for your concern. Our lockdowns might be the most restrictive, but that makes them the most effective. So I'm not too worried about that. I'd prefer a short sharp lockdown and then total freedom (within the borders) over th

Not all health agencies, for instance in New Zealand they have been very honest about the science and what is known. Regarding the article, I think many people wanted to know that there was an "end" in sight to COVID. This narrati

Wow. My commiserations! Ironically such paranoid control of file use must have left you wanting to "back up" your work onto alternate storage. Naturally said backups would go offsite with you each night.

Lets say that only 1% die. 20% needed high-end medical intervention to not die. Once the infection rate hits a threshhold, the entire 20% die.

The US was (and to a lesser extent still is) exporting harmful Covid-19 mis-information. Your point about helping other countries to help all countries stands.

Okay, thanks for clarifying that. Ultimately I'm happy for Rust to only be so smart, of course there are going to be limitations. But you are right, the author was making a clear example and my comment doesn't make sense in that
