I can't help but think that with the way modern languages/programming are going, we're making a rod for our own backs!
Don't get me wrong, I've read about Rust and it's capabilities vs things like C++ and yes, I can see benefits. That's not what I mean.
It's in 10 years when we clone a repo on Github and it pulls down 2000 dependencies: will they all still work?
Everything nowadays seems to require massive dependencies!
I know we've long used libraries for different bits of functionality rather than reinventing the wheel but it just seems like we're giving up masses of control/agility for convenience that may kick the shit out of us later!
The daily death rate is at around 100 people per day and that's "100 people dying within 28 days of a positive COVID test" - a meaningless statistic that does not tell you a single thing.
Plus, the stats only show deaths with covid on the certificate. That means they could have died from something else.
This whole thing is a farce. A charade.
Make no mistake: they're coming for your children.
Also, there are approximately 450 deaths per day from cancer - where is the government push to fix that?[1]
> The point is vaccinating everyone, just like we did with Smallpox. Which is essentially dead because of vaccination.
It has been shown time and again that the covid jag does not prevent infection/re-infection/transmission so your talk of eradication smacks of propaganda, not science.
> Wouldn't this imply that the vaccine is physically harmful to you?
I have no evidence to say that the vaccine is physically harmful to me, personally, but there are plenty of stories on the web where people in the prime of their health, have been struck down with something after taking it.
However, there is plenty of evidence to say that covid itself is not harmful at all... look at the stats - literally no one is dying!
These jags are also brand new: they're a few years old so there is ZERO data on long-term risks. None! For all we know, in a few years people may start dropping dead with heart conditions.
Now, if covid was as life-threatening to the majority of people as it is being marketed as, then I can potentially see a case where people should get it but the figures do not lie: almost no one is dying from covid.
Remember, this covid jag is a treatment for something that it's unlikely you will succumb to. So, should you get every vaccine going just in case?
Additionally, the gov wants you to keep taking it, over and over again! That will increase your long-term risk (again, zero data on the long-term effects!).
Plus, by giving in and taking it each time you're told, what kind of world are you leaving your children? They're going to have to get a medical procedure to go to the pub ffs!
So, in answer to your question about whether it's harmful... we don't know and the thing is do you really want to risk your health and that of your children for something that has almost zero chance of affecting you?
Edit: Forgot to say, the point of these jags (despite them incorrectly being called vaccines) is only to make you feel better when you catch it. Make no mistake, they DO NOT prevent infection, DO NOT prevent re-infection, DO NOT prevent spreading... so what the hell are they for? I believe that the newest strain that was discovered in South Africa was in someone with the covid jag...
> Vaccines should not be a personal freedom choice.
I don't do personal attacks but in your case I'll make an exception: you are a fucking psychopath if you think it's ok to tell people to get a jag for something that is killing literally no one right now!
We're at around 100 deaths per day right now in the UK [0] and those stats don't actually tell you if they died FROM covid or merely had covid 28 days earlier when they died (massive difference!)... completely hides the real data.
In addition, there are on average 450 deaths per day from cancer [1] so where is the big gov. push to eradicate that?
Here are the overall death stats in the UK [2]. COVID is a tiny fraction of it.
I've long felt that WWIII will not be fought (initially, anyway) with tanks and bombs and such, but with computers.
What could be more effective for your enemy than taking out all your power stations and plunging your country into total darkness and chaos? Everything would run out in short order and people would turn on each other.
Saves having to mess the place up with bombs and you have plausible deniability within the international community.
It's funny you should talk about sleep deprivation messing with your mind... I once remember trying to program a for-loop in C# about 8 or 9 years ago (I've been programming since the 90s) when my son was a baby. He'd been up and down for a couple of days as he was unwell and my sleep-addled brain wouldn't let me create a for-loop.
No matter what I tried I could not get the code to compile.
I still laugh about it now but it definitely highlights the importance of sleep.
I haven't read the whole doc but does it take into account stress or factors that lead to stress?
For example, money problems, dangerous job, working in toxic environments etc.
I reckon we don't put enough "science" into working out the life-extending properties of a non-toxic job and a health bank balance.
FWIW I was diagnosed in September as having stable angina. I eat really healthy, don't smoke or drink, no family history of heart issues, and all my blood work was great. However, I have been under immense stress for the last two years to the point of sleepless nights etc (won't go into the details).
I've often wondered if Mark Zuckerberg has anyone in his inner corporate circle that is willing to say "no" to him.
Meta seems like there was a wall of post-it notes in Zuck's office with a bunch of ideas to stop FB from becoming MySpace and the dart he threw landed on this one.
My gut tells me that Meta is dead in the water but with the billions that FB have in their war chest I wouldn't bet against it completely, however, the fact it requires a headset, a massive source of friction, will restrict the audience.
I dunno... seems like Zuck is living in a fantasy world here.
It does: Try creating a a local account on the Home version! You can't. You must create a Microsoft account which ties you Microsoft. You may not be physically handing over $ but you are using their ecosystem. Your actions are now recorded, categorized, analysed and then M$ make more money from them.
There is no way in hell they will give you an OS for $0 unless there is a way to make money from you. None.
Look, I'm not being cynical or negative about it! I'm just putting it in perspective. If people wanna do it then go for it. It's not for me.
This isn't just a Microsoft thing, companies that give you something for nothing are making money from you somehow! Or else they won't be around long.
> Most proeminent features for Windows 11 are an updated scheduler tailored to big.little architectures like the new Alder Lake from Intel and Direct Storage for games, a rebranding of the same feature from Xbox One and PS5.
Let's be honest here though: those could easily have been added to Windows 10 as they will be on the same kernel... they added them to Windows 11 so that people would buy the new shiny!
I'm not saying it's wrong, companies need to get new money in to keep going, but those features hardly merited a "new" OS :)
I don't have familial wealth and I can study for stuff. I happen to spend around an hour a day (most days) studying programming-related topics.
I'm sick of this woke nonsense pervading society.
Studying for a Leetcode exam has sweet-fuck-all to do with race!
