That's different tho. Firms that hire contractors can legitimately require the use of their own equipment, to an extent, on security grounds. However, a hiring firm installing software on equipment they don't even own? That's

Nice selective reading. > usually experience mild symptoms, though in the unvaccinated, they are more intense and last longer "Usually" is key, as is "in the unvaccinated, they are more intense and last longer". Fact

Depressing but a good point. Hopefully we can stop hoarding vaccines/patents so the global south can be vaccinated before their winter.

The first article link you posted literally agrees with me: (double?) vaccination offers 70% protection against hospitalisation by Omicron.

No, it was mild in South Africa amongst the vaccinated .

Indeed, it can very easily be identified due to some gene deletion.

What? PCRs are by far the best proxy we have for active infection. And no, people don't typically (ever?) test positives anywhere near 3 months after. Common symptoms being less specific doesn't make PCRs unreliable.

In the previous discussion we discussed how fast mold is at linking ELF files. I was also wondering (unvoiced) if it would also be possible to make a ridiculously fast linker for PE/COFF (Windows). Somebody else asked the same question

> No re-downloads of past versions will be provided Far, far bigger films get away with nonsense like this. But IMHO it's a violation of the CJEU case UsedSoft GmbH v Oracle (paragraph 85).

Temporary import of goods is a thing in many jurisdictions. Have the sender fill out the paperwork correctly, and return the drive when you're done. Then you might be exempt from VAT, customs duty, and those infuriating processing fees

> the so-called better results were for the compressed extension, not for the normal encoding. Ignoring RISC-V’s compressed encoding seems a rather artificial restriction.

It's well known it's more infectious, and widely suspected to be more deadly. See both https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/why-is-de... and https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus&

As you suspect, Coronavirus isn't unique in having an incubation period, or in being infectious during the latter part of the incubation period. Of course, there's questions of degree.

We definitely shouldn't oversimplify. Delta was simultaneously more infectious and more deadly than the original variant. Virus mutations can be better for us, and they can be worse. This article https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

We did, although my response would be that's because vaccines are wonderful. (And, for other diseases, because of improved sanitation and nutrition.)

Ah, I hadn't grasped your irony. I heard it suggested somewhat seriously recently, which miffed me a bit. Lockdowns were probably the least awful option in early 2020, but as you know it doesn't make them a great idea now.

Late reply, but you make a good point. Perhaps I am thinking five years ago, and back then the specs seemed more impressive. Also, I hadn't twigged that “logical” cores are distinct from physical cores, which made the core count seem m

You're thinking on the LGPL. The GPL is the prototypical copyleft licence, designed to encourage the liberation of software, in part via its dependencies.

That link article? It makes bold claims about the GPL being imprecise, ambiguous, and full of legal holes. But not a single example. Rhetoric, huh.

Interesting question. I had a scan of the articles in other languages, on Wikipedia. Almost all the Latin alphabet languages use a variant of 'imaginary'. Icelandic appears to be an exception, where it means cross-number. https:&
