What does have rural have to do with anything? Farms have the fastest internet around here. Charter doesn't want to compete in rural, which allows smaller ISPs to flourish letting people purchase naked 250Mb/250Mb Internet for $80 vs 100Mb/6Mb in the city for no cheaper than a $100 total bill. Just north of us vacation houses in the middle of freaking no-where are getting 1Gb/1Gb for $50.
If anything, rural has faster cheaper internet, even more reliable. No incumbents to hold back ISPs.
In my location of the USA, the shots are cheap, just not the nurses. About $10 to get a shot from a non-profit in a neighboring city, about $20 to get from a local clinic, about $50 to get from the hospital, but my insurance covers it 100% no matter where I get it. I just go to whomever excepts my insurance, is relatively close, and as cheap as possible.
Luckily my employer typically brings the yearly shots to us. On-site nurses for a few days out of the year, free, and not considered a break so hourly temp workers still get paid.
Vaccines don't stop people from getting sick, they statistically stop the sickness from spreading. If the vaccination rates get too low, the sickness will spread and even vaccinated people will get sick.
But it may matter what medical issues you have. It was mentioned that transgender people may require special medical support. Perhaps it's a much smaller issues that it's being made out to be, but it is a valid reason.
USB 2.0 can supply 100Mb/s the same way a mechanical HD can supply 50MiB/s. Rarely in real world situations. The post you responded to said "single" USB port. Cut your bandwidth in half. The slowest internet I can find is 100Mb/6Mb from Charter for "$30/m" in a triple bundle or my current ISP is 150Mb/150Mb for $50/m.
Try teaching a person who was born blind to see once their physical issue is fixed much later in life. You can't. Did you know that seeing is a skill that is learned, yet if you don't learn it early enough in life, you will never be able to do it properly. Same difference. Someone who has been thinking like a programmer since they were a baby will have a leg-up in those kinds of situations.
I intuitively understood certain hard computer problems when I was 8 that many experienced programmers still have difficulty grasping. One of those domains is concurrency. I have never had issues with it. Even now, I can create a solution to a concurrency issue in seconds that can take days or weeks to get others to kind of understand. Most don't believe me until they get to work with me. They can't understand how I so naturally solve these issues. I think differently. Doesn't mean I'm a "better" person, but does mean I am better at certain things.
Devil's advocate. Participating in society is a privilege, not a right. If everything was taken to the extreme of "what's mine is mine and what's your's is yours", society would fall apart. The whole point of society is everyone gives up a little bit but gains much. Where you draw the line, how your prevent absurd waste from non-malicious intent, prevent malicious waste, and don't become draconian by ignoring the will of the people is a whole other set of issues that are difficult and very subjective.
Instead of taxing people, maybe the government should just start printing money that would result in the same effect. Then they are technically not taking your money, they're just devaluing it.
Games are. I'm CPU bound at 30% CPU utilization, On my quad core i5 in most of my video games. My newer video games tend to cap out around 70% CPU utilization. A rare few can actually get around 90%.
Indoctrinating critical thinking. In most of my classes, right or wrong, if you could make a good argument you got nearly full credit. A good Devil's advocate was always rewarded.
Are they? His argument is is the reason for blacks getting caught more often is they can checked more often. It's not that they are committing more crimes, it's that they get caught committing more crimes. Very different. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. You think they commit more crimes, therefore you non-randomly check them more often to see if they are committing crimes and you find some fraction of the time that they are and use this as justification. Maybe the exact same thing would happen if you did the same thing to all races and backgrounds.
Then we feed these results into an AI and get false positives for blacks and false negatives for whites.
I'm not very good at the maths behind it all. I mostly just have a strong intuition. Doesn't make for very good PHD material, but pretty decent for in practice.
On the other hand, one of the best theoretical astrophysicists has a disability that does not allow her to do simple math like arithmetic or algebra, but she is a genius at calculus.
Nah, I have a learning disability that makes me horrible at most simple problems. Anyone can do what I do, I have several learning disabilities. I have a horrible general memory, just functional enough to get by in life. 6 months to remember my wife's name.
I guess you could say some mentally disabled person who barely passed school wonders why people with no learning disabilities find concurrency so difficult.
The photon gets there no sooner than c, but the sender is allowed to defer transmitting the state until the last second. A photon is nothing more than its state. Creating a photon with the same state is effectively creating the same photon. The notion of physical particles is flawed. From the perspective of the sender, the photon takes 1,000 light years to get to the target 1,000 light-years away, but the state change may have occurred 999 years after the photon was sent. You cant send faster than c, but you can send something from your future to someone else's present.
Actually, it's nearly impossible to ever get the same photon that you sent, only its state. During the time that the photon travels, it will have taken an infinite number of paths and converted back and forth between particle pairs and a photon and infinite number of times.
I've been writing high performance concurrent software since a week after I started programming. Not only can I count all of the discovered concurrency bugs for all of my projects on one hand, but I've discovered more concurrency bugs in.Net than my code. I typically fix my concurrency bugs in less than an hour, some times it takes a day, but only for the non-reproducible ones that only happen under very high loads when no one is around.
"Easy" is relative. I self discovered race-conditions when I was 8 and read about dual-socket 486 CPUs. The first few seconds were "awesome, twice as fast!", immediately followed by "you never get anything for free, how do the CPUs keep in 'perfect sync'. Hmm, you can't without making certain concessions that would be costly". After a few minutes of thinking, I figured there must be a way for CPUs to asynchronously send data and notify the other CPU when that there was new data or you had to be very careful about the order you changed data in memory. Of course I didn't realize the kinds of ordering issues OoO execution or memory operation reordering could cause, but I was intuitively aware of the problem.
Concurrency problems are fun to me, one of the few ways I'm challenged.
there is correlation that fat people and thin people have different ratios of different types of bacteria. Cause or effect, who knows, but the correlation is there.
There have been a few fecal transplants where a fat person got one from a skinny person, then the fat person lost nearly all of their excess weight after the transplant without a change to their diet or exercise.
Probiotic bacteria in yogurt does absolutely nothing for my heart burn but even the cheapest probiotic supplement makes a world of difference for me. Not all probiotics have perceptible, yet alone measurable, benefits.
Probiotics got rid of my heartburn. Chronic heartburn can directly cause esophageal cancer. Removing the heart burn means I no longer have the risk of esophageal cancer caused by heart burn. Probiotics have reduced my risk of cancer. Stop taking probitoics, 2-3 weeks later, heart burn is back, noticeably reduced heartburn after 3-4 days, as in I don't wake up in the middle of the night from pain. I was on Prilosec for a few years before I gave probiotics a try.
There are peer reviewed research for certain patented probiotic strains of bacteria that have very reliably reduced or nearly rid IBS symptoms or reduced the rate at which immunocompromised people got sick from regular seasonal illnesses.
I also no longer need to consume Metamucil to have regular bowel movements. I had to start consuming Metamucil regularly after getting constipated enough to have to go to the doctor. After I started consuming probiotics, I stopped consuming Metamucil to see if I would have any issues. I did not. But if I stopped taking probiotics and Metamucil , my constipation would start to come back after 1-2 weeks as not perfectly timed bowl movements every morning or feeling bloated at night. I have tried this several times during an experimental year when I was trying to see if I needed to continue consuming supplements. I would try different combinations for different lengths of time, and I decided to make these supplements a regular part of my life after the issues would reliably go away and return depending on me taking them.
git didn't create any new CS but it was the first of its kind and infinitely better than the competition. git is the only VCS that I found intuitive to use.
There are work loads where HT makes the system ~10% slower, but there are also work loads that make the system ~100% faster, and a huge range of possible work loads in between. A one dimensional analysis is useless.
Better a parrot than an astroturfing apologetic shill that doesn't understand the difference between the filesystem corrupting log data or the logger corrupting log data.Then again, "Arguing on the internet is like running at the special olympics...". Sometimes giving up is the correct response.
Subjective opinions aside, the fact that the lead dev gave someone a tongue lashing over expecting his logs to be at-least partially usable after a system crash so he could figure out why it crashed, is absurd. His recommendation was to expect no logs to be viable and just throw them out. This was after it was already in CentOS stable as the default.
I have never seen a system that corrupted all of the log data from an unexpected shutdown, only possibly the last little bit or the FS taking a crap, but that's orthogonal to the discussion. I wish I kept the link, but this was all on SystemD's official bug tracker. My opinion is warranted to think that SystemD is a "happy path" kind of design.
SystemD was designed assuming the happy path. Kind of like what you get from a freshman CS student. When crap hits the fan, the failure modes are largely undefined. There's also the difficult to port aspect, which is a bad thing for these kinds of projects that typically lend themselves well to porting. And some repetition and inconsistencies. SystemD is the PHP init systems. I know it's not just init, but that's what it's known for. At one point there was an open bug that got closed as "working as intended". The person who submitted it got lambasted by the primary dev for thinking the logs getting corrupted by an unexpected shutdown was a bug.
Of course it's a feature! Why would you ever expect your logs to be in working order when you machine crashes? Ohh.. maybe to try to figure out why it crashed.
The whole project reeks of of NIH syndrome. It was created for a good reason, and the concept is great, but the implementation is left wanting in design and has a tenancy to keep swallowing up other projects. Why does SystemD need a DHCP server built into it, an NTP client, a NAT?! Because they can, I guess.
SystemD: Why do one thing well when you can do everything half-assed?
In nearly all of my cases, 64bit mode is faster, sometimes over 2x. Tight code that needs to do a lot of 32bit operations that must be immediately flushed to memory are rare. If you're spamming objects everywhere to where pointers constitute much of your memory usage, your code is probably crap and has other issues to worry about. For all other situations, 64bit is probably faster. It allows processing the data is 1/2 the operations in many algorithms and the increased virtual memory space can be very useful for both fragmentation and security.
Most managed memory languages have much greater overhead in metadata than pointers anyway. x32 is pretty much only useful for compiled native code.
