Have there been any confirmed cases of people contracting it after having antibodies and having symptoms?

Yes, this is a more detailed version of what I said. Which part makes you want to control what other people make?

Treating language choices like celebrity popularity contests and being afraid to wrap C or C++ libraries to get them into your non native language is a brutal combination.

Defining yourself or others by a single language is in my mind a huge red flag of a very junior programmer.

If only someone would invent a back button so you wouldn't have to stay on the same page.

Also OpenGl ES isn't something that is compiled to WASM, it is a javascript API. WASM does not have access to the DOM or IO.

I have one and it works well, but AMD doesn't have good CPUs with their APUs yet.

They aren't Zen 2, more than 4 cores or 7nm, all of which would make a huge difference. Putting the APU on the same chip makes them more difficult to cool, especially since they don't have quite as high quality packaging as the better CPUs. Getting smooth 4k realistically means messing with bios settings to get them to throttle less and run hotter.

CPU choice isn't going to matter here. Visual studio's settings will matter far more, possibly a fast SSD.

There might be almost no reason to buy an Intel CPU, but interestingly, they do have the advantage in very small desktops because they have powerful CPUs with integrated graphics. Cooling without throttling is probably tricky if you get super small, but AMD's APUs are in need of an update.

You didn't name anyone or say anything of substance, you were just vague and dismissive without specifics.

You didn't confront what I said in any way.

You realize he doesn't have people on to grill them right? He has done well over a thousand shows with hundreds of different people. When you say 'most of his guests' are you talking about John Carmack, Tony Hawk and Rhonda Patrick or are you talking about the one time he had the guy who started the 'proud boys' on? I think a lot of people take this all or nothing stance on one bad guest out of recreational outrage without actually watching him.

Joe Rogan typically makes a point to say what he doesn't know and tries to get interesting experts in his show. Have you watched much of his show?

A huge part of modern software updates seems to be bait and switching your users.

If you look at hacker news however, a lot of nonsense makes it to the front page. One word titles, clickbait, old links to wikipedia articles, submarine advertising, something no one has heard of announcing a new version, something few care about announcing they are shutting down, a point release of rust, a program that is only relevant because it was written in a certain language, pointless, trivial side projects that only seem relevant to people unaware of the the same idea being done before, etc.

I think a lot of that wouldn't make up such a giant part of the site if there were downvotes on stories.

A lot of subreddits end up being snakes telling their tail how it's the best tail. A lot of those can turn into ads as people start making whatever brands to get in on the circle jerk. Some subreddits I suspect go further and have companies working with moderators to do very potent marketing without anyone drawing attention to it. /r/mechanicalkeyboards, /r/gadgets, etc, the list goes on.

Great, even more lag coming in the next version of visual studio.

And? For the third time, most people never even think about syncing with the chain. Do you understand how cryptocurrencies work? Have you ever used one? What is your point?

PlayStation games need to download more than that to install. Many steam games push updates bigger than that.

A single 10TB hard drive would take over -92 YEARS- to fill up at that rate. And again, most people don't ever need to sync with the chain, they let servers do it for them.

What is your point?

At the current scales, that is like saying a 128x128 jpg has big implications over a 64x64 jpg. Anyone who can watch a 240p youtube video can sync with bitcoin's limited blockchain. Not only that but most people don't need to and don't want to.

What is bitcoin's throughput? 2MB every -10 minutes-? That's less than 3KB/s. Let's not do this whole dance where the real numbers never come up in all the fear mongering.

Every crytocurrency works well except for bitcoin, because its throughput was crippled to try to sell a centralized second layer owned by the company that weaseled their way into controlling the github and subreddit.

I don't think any of them make micro payments easy right now, but throughput is not a real problem until transaction volume goes WAY up.

What do you mean by OS libraries here? Open source? Have you profiled the library to see where it is slow?

Is that even legal?

You are focusing on an example and conflating it with the actual point that I'm making, which is that electron is not only slow, but compounded by slow programming in top.

That being said... I know exactly what you are talking about and it was always strange to me, because it was actually iterating through every time to find a value first, so the iteration through the linked list would always kill the performance. Even so, basic linked lists are practically obsolete. This is not a good example of algorithmic complexity, because the complexities were actually the same.

You are arguing against a point I didn't make. I'm not trying to rehash nonsense language arguments. I'm saying that many times the easy electron route is also correlated with programming that gives poor performance even outside of electron functions.

It is true that there is a a correlation between lower level programming and better programming in general. You probably won't see someone writing asm but creating crazy O^2 algorithms that run on every frame with memory allocations that run in the inner loop.

At the same time a native win32 program can pack significant functionality into a 20KB exe. Put these together and you have a program where everything is instant, all the time on any computer. The original uTorrent was just over 100KB and installed then ran in an instant.

These two refinements together are such a massive difference from any electron program that it melts my brain when people say that it isn't a problem to have a chat program feel like using windows 95 on a 386.

People say talk about needing cross platform programs, but something like fltk has everything most people will need and also runs instantly, while adding only a few hundred kilobytes to an executable.

You are just reasserting the same thing without backing it up in any way. Saying something shouldn't carry any moral weight is not a moral judgement because who would it be judging?

Correcting someone about is not casting a moral judgement. Saying a piece of a system meant to create and capture some value doesn't need to be ascribed good or evil is a statement that can be taken at face value. Trying to say everything is a moral judgement that someone else is creating a false dichotomy is just projection.

No, that's ridiculous. Saying you don't like assigning moral judgements to companies is essentially saying you think they should be looked at as neutral.

If someone says they don't like cauliflower, that isn't a moral judgment. You are not understanding what is being said or what it implies.

Isn't always the answer doesn't mean isn't ever the answer. This is the site where you are told you can't post another message only after you write and submit it.

They are saying the exact opposite. They don't like assigning a moral judgement either way to a business that isn't hurting anyone. You were replying as if they had said that instead of something being bad, it was good. That is not the same thing. Treating something as neutral is not the same as saying something is an opposite.

> Does a company indulging in non-coerced commerce (i.e. voluntary) make it virtuous?

No, the reward is money/resources and the person wasn't implying the polar opposite of the article. You are creating a false dichotomy here by trying to split things into good or bad. There is a neutral position that you don't have to be invested in.

> Why is questioning the efficacy, for society, of the economic models of any company considered immoral?

I don't think the parent said this at all.
