> Omicron doesn’t confer great immunity against delta and other, “older” virus variants which are still out there, potentially ready to come back next winter. Care to share a paper to back this up ? This statement seems hard to prove rig

In France Covid is roughly 5 to get 10% of all emergency services patients. So 26% percent of Covid hospitalizations it is.

Diet and exercise. I’ve made efforts my whole life to eat well. I did not fear Covid for that precise reason (I’m under 40)

It’s effective for people over 50. Thus for most of the victims of this discrimination, vaccine is marginally useful.

> The current vaccinations are actually reasonably good at preventing Omicron hospitalizations, enough so to be worthwhile on an individual level. It’s at most halving them. For fit people under 50 the risk low enough to make this vaccin

We are talking about much more alienating restrictions here.

> Having people do stuff to protect the safety of themselves and others is part of the social contract of these countries. Are smokers and alcohol consumers also targeted by these social credit type measures in those states ?

Just to be more precise, unvaccinated people represent 26% of new hospitalizations in quebec, and 40% in ICU according to the official dashboard [1]. The efficiency against omicron is very limited, thus the huge deprivations we see here are

It might work, who knows. But how comes there are 4 endemic coronaviruses ? Do you think a sterilizing vaccine is even possible ? Wouldn’t immunity also wane ?

And overweight people make up to 65% of those. See a dark pattern here ?

I also wish I could write: .or_panic(“unexpected fatal error”) Or .unwrap_or_panic

Well sha1 and md5 are used all over the place so supporting them makes a lot of sense. Most of your points are related to documentation, and a bit patronizing. For all I care most of the functionality is there, fast and reasonably well desi

Tikv uses rocksdb which is not written in rust.

Yet nobody has ever written & published a production grade persistent key-value store in rust. It's puzzling.

good json parsing is important these days. crypto is a must too. golang's crypto is really good (ssh, tls, sha, md5..) Right now in rust we rely on rust bindings to c libs.

I’m rather pro vaccination and read those numbers first hand, thanks.

However rust is so hairy that it’s damn slow to develop in. You would expect database engine devs would pick rust to get those last drops of performance. Yet there is no production quality storage engine written in rust, whereas there are

All of this because the c++ devs who wrote rust do not realize that having a big and well conceived stdlib helps a ton (go is a great example).

And we do not know if omicron causes more heart issues than the vaccine.

The effectiveness against infection is limited, and omicron mainly spreads in vaccinated populations in Denmark, Island and the UK
