Companies have created much better masks by now, such as https://katharoslabs.com/ (disclaimer: the founder is a friend of a friend) At this point, I generally find it more inconvenient to remember the mask than to wear it

Unix also provides many userspace PRNG, for performance or other reasons. But programs have the option of using the kernel directly whenever security matters. Is it even possible on Windows to query directly to kernel randomness with docume

As long as there is a non-zero multiplier, it does not matter the size of the constant factor, and it does not even need to be constant. I spent a while recently looking at the shape of this non-typical allocation growth curve, which ended

With such a small threshold of effect (able to do 30 minutes of lifting per week / not doing anything), are they able to distinguish correlation from causation here?

MIT prohibits this. You can use the code and remix it or add your own copyrighted code, but pretty much the only thing you can’t do is remove the original copyright text.

More importantly, all syscalls also take a target process as an argument, making the Windows version both simpler and more powerful than can be done with fork. Spawn is also a lot slower on Windows, but that is an implementation issue.

The important word is “measured” there in the title, where they are not claiming the decay is varying, but that the measurement equipment is showing variation, and trying to quantify and model the dynamics of that.

The design intent for Solarized is to minimize contrast, so this may lie somewhere between “you’re holding it wrong” territory, and aggressive cargo-culting advertising making this theme show up everywhere as an implied default good option.

Nearly everyone will eventually be immune to it, but CDC data still is showing that the majority of vaccinated people will not get sick with it to get there.

I did not mean to imply it was an argument either way. I meant it more as a way of demonstrating that we need to be careful to be precise about the actual relative impacts of each option, since they each have non-linear side-effects (includ

The comment you are responding to discusses air exchange systems to supply more fresh air than simply dealing with a leaky old house. So both absolutely more wasteful and also less enjoyable than a modern and well-designed system.

Yeah, 0.5% might be a plausible lower estimate for his statement of an average member of the US population, but is probably a bit low. That assumes that 50% of the US population already got COVID, 0% got vaccinated, and none of them get COV

Nearly 0.2% of the US has died of COVID, so he can’t be that far off on his estimate, not knowing the age of yourself or other readers.
