It is broadly accepted that pasteurized milk is lower in vitamin C, but there generally isn't much in dairy products to begin with. There are also reportedly small reductions in vitamins B2 (riboflavin), B12 and E, and folate. However, no reputable nutritional authority has identified these reductions as being physiologically significant.

More controversial assertions circulate around protein and enzyme content, but studies have failed to find anything making raw milk more "digestible" or causing any detectable contribution to immunity or allergy. The FDA has an extensive discussion on this: https://www.fda.gov/food/buy-store-serve-safe-food/raw-milk-...

I think this study is important to point out as a point of concern. On the other hand - and I say this from a TB control perspective, where TB-contaminated raw milk is absolutely a vector, particularly for Mycobacterium bovis; I've treated such cases - we don't know if ingesting H5 is as risky for humans. It doesn't seem like a good idea, though, and there are plenty of other things spread by raw milk that definitely can make you ill (enteric bacteria in particular). I go through about three gallons of milk a week personally, but it's pasteurized and off-the-grocery-shelf.

The Space Harrier port is fun. The music would have been better eliminated entirely but the massive number of sprites makes it no worse graphically than, say, the C64 port. I particularly liked the parallax scrolling in ChoRenSha68K. They really seem to know to play to the video hardware's strengths.

You're probably referring to the Strategic National Stockpile. There are approximately 55 million doses of Tamiflu on hand as of earlier this year, though the ASPR generally keeps this number under its hat. In the meantime, there is an H5N1 candidate vaccine, and it would probably be able to get to market fairly quickly (compare with the H1N1 vaccine rollout in 2009).

For a typical recombinant subunit vaccine, you'd need to splice any new changes into whatever's churning out your proteins (bacteria, yeast, etc.) and then go get those proteins after growing them -- assuming all goes well. For an mRNA vaccine, you can skip the entire protein translation and production step.

I agree there are likely cases not being detected, but there are lots of flying natural reservoirs who also poop in sewer watersheds (no one's keeping them sterile, after all). They may also be getting magnified by agricultural sources; California does a much better job of testing, but there are very likely positive farms that haven't been found yet.

Putting the "with not of" part aside, in this particular case the child is positive for other respiratory viruses. Given that there wasn't much H5 present and the CDC release says as much, the other respiratory virus(es) found would be a more likely explanation for their illness than H5.

This doesn't say anything about the virulence or likelihood of serious illness in H5 generally, just here. We really don't know overall yet.

It probably never did. Owing to the very limited testing then and even now, we have certainly missed a lot of cases.

That said, when they do end up in the hospital, they usually tend to be seriously ill. But that tells us little about the frequency of such high acuity cases. Still, severe influenza A subtypes are no joke.

I think it's important not to overstate what this means. Most likely, the kid had some other upper respiratory tract infection with the symptoms coming from that and the H5 may well have been an incidental finding, especially since they have likely already recovered based on the timeframe I'm aware of. One potential theory is exposure to wild bird droppings. Due to the circumstances of the case, we may never find out exactly what the child came in contact with.

Or you could just run this on it, which would probably compile just fine on Linux-MIPS: https://github.com/rhaleblian/pirix

900MHz, 4GB and a DCD V12. Need to fix the PSU, but I love the Big Red look. And hey, it's quieter than a Tezro.

While I can't deny the argument that US national anti-TB efforts have become fragmented, possibly as a result of lower incidence, BCG isn't an especially protective vaccine against pulmonary disease and can interfere with TB skin testing, which even in this age of generally available blood QuantiFERON testing is still not uncommon. BCG does have greater value in high-risk countries, and it may be most useful for kids in those regions where TB meningitis is a bigger threat. It doesn't make a lot of sense in a low-burden country, but perhaps one day we'll have a better one.

Pretty sure it was BT and AppleLink (disclosure: my article): https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2024/03/an-apple-district-manage...

I've got a STacy. It's a tank, like the article says. On the other hand, it does have more typical ST expansion options.

Another really wacky part is this (Nombas ScriptEase) is the same JS engine used in BeOS NetPositive. Be licensed it, though the layout engine was in-house.

Yes, but "taping out" is still a ways from "actually exists and you can bench it."

Odds are you probably can't, at least not when you need the care most, which is the exact issue the article decries. Systems like Kaiser Permanente are not, but Kaiser is a vertically integrated HMO and structured very differently (disclosure: worked for Kaiser as a hospital per-diem for a number of years). Your best option is to make sure you know what EDs are actually in-network for you so at least you're less likely to get nailed if you have a little time to work with and aren't being transported by EMS.

Unfortunately, apparently not compatible with Android 14 (there's a warning about this on the website). On my Pixel 7 Pro, it says "not compatible with your phone."

A Pilot 1000/5000 or the immediate model after?

Also, I think you meant a .prc.

(author) Hey, thank you! Did you ever try any of the telecommunications features or use any of Convergent's Taskware tapes?

I think it's in 6 (or was it 3?), but I'll verify. Thanks for the info!

Quick question: my ROM03 IIgs has a Transwarp GS, SCSI card-hard disk and GGlabs 8MB RAM card. Think this would work with that configuration, or would it likely have conflicts?

In my high school (late 1980s, early 1990s) we had mostly Apple IIe systems for student use and a couple PCs in the school office. When I was copy editor for the school newspaper, articles were done in AppleWorks, printed on an ImageWriter in NLQ in columns and literally pasted up on a master for layout which we photocopied.

Not quite: the design is such that even the fastest 6502 instructions are two cycles. Still, generally quicker clock-for-clock than a Z80.

I don't need it either. Also, take my filthy lucre, you beasts.

My first job out of college was on a university administrative system where all the source files were managed by RCS. I came on in '97, but the system had been operation in at least that state to 1995. Obnoxiously, the vendor layered some secret sauce on top of it in Makefiles for the actual checkins and outs, so you did something like `make co F=foo.c` which totally messed up filename completion. I had it aliased in tcsh within minutes to preserve my own sanity.

When my consultant contract finally came to an end in 2003 they were still using it.

(author) Thanks! Yeah, it annoyed me how it kept freezing until I noticed it was always during an error state, and from there it was a quick trip to narrowing it down to the beeper. I think this is part of the DUART emulation and that is acknowledged to be incomplete still.

> There are effectively no modern big endian CPUs.

POWER9, Power10 and s390x/Telum/etc. all say hi. The first two in particular have a little endian mode and most Linuces run them little, but they all can run big, and on z/OS, AIX and IBM i, must do so.

I imagine you'll say effectively no one cares about them, but they do exist, are used in shipping systems you can buy today, and are fully supported.

My main objection to something like this (and cheers this person went to great lengths to fix it) is that as shipped you can't tell the difference between an image with square corners that got rounded off by QuickLook, or an image legitimately with rounded corners that looks like QuickLook. It shouldn't have been necessary to go to such trouble to turn that option off, one which will easily interfere with the workflow of a graphics professional.
