To develop mRNA vaccine took what, ~10 years? It's about how long it takes to develop the printing press vs. how long does it take to print a book.

Yes, I remember seeing this idea. Some blog was making new design for each of the post. I really liked that, but I did not see it getting popular ever back in the days when FB was not yet a thing and websites used uniques designs instead of

Piano. I am 48, but I love learning new things. Playing instrument is something what I wanted to do for a looong time. Bought myself an electric guitar last year, and I do practice a bit, but have nothing to show for it now. It appears to b

Godox is very good price-performance wise. I am not sure under what brand they sell their video lights in US. I know that their strobes are sold as Flashpoint.

Indeed. I've switched to zsh a few years before it become a default on macs. If only I do not really remember what pushed me there, probably there was a wave of "zsh is awesome" sentiment over the internet.

So vaccine looks more dangerous to you than COVID, despite numbers showing that's not the case? 20 in 1000 dying from COVID-19 is somehow acceptable, but two in hundreds of thousands getting some allergic reaction is not? How does one

Ok, what the mechanism for the long term consequences would be? mRNA itself is gone in days. All what's left is antibodies and some immune memory which should be the same as if you had real COVID. Is that more dangerous than catching c

What our (Lithuania) officials say is that about 5% of the cases are hospitalized. We are close to the top by the number of new infections per 100000 pop.

Let me guess, you did not do any iOS development? To claim that web has better abstractions is insanity. Even before autolayout to say that was a stretch. And I say this because I do have that cross-experience: working with web since 1998 (

The best cure for optimistic thinking like this would be simply to try teach some of that to _not_ self-selected group. It becomes clear very fast, how non-trivial "trivial" concepts are.

This reasoning is just funny. You put your servers on the cloud because you do not want to be bothered with owning and maintaining them and next day you tell people to own and control their devices. Guess what, many have more interesting st
