This work is inspiring. Congratulations to those students.


His intro: Today I will explain why I often call async/await the "new billion dollar mistake": a mistake that has probably caused billions in developer productivity and bugs in the past ten years, especially in the context of Rust.


Thanks @photon_lines! In your temperature diagram, you mention that every point will take the average of the neighboring points. However, the equation is not a constraint on the temperature but on the "change of the slope (or gradient) of the temperature". The bigger the slope (in space), the faster (in time) the temperature changes at that point!


'The bigger the slope (in space), the faster (in time) the temperature changes at that point!' - Sorry but I'm not really reading you here. If the points around an 'atom' a symmetrically and equally far away when it comes to the point in question but are opposite in magnitude (i.e. imagine having a point with temperature 12 degrees Celsius which is surrounded by a neighboring points which have temperatures of 8 degrees and 16 degrees (so the delta is +4 and -4) then the temperature here will stay the same. The slope of the temperature field has nothing to do with this - unless maybe you're alluding to the slope of something else? I think I should have maybe explained this equation in terms of 'concavity' instead of using the methodology which I used - you can get a good grasp of this in this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-LKPtGMdss


Thanks for taking the time to respond and analyze my comment! - The bigger the slope (in space), the faster (in time) the temperature changes at that point -

I have to confess that I got it wrong, indeed: the right side of the equation is a Laplacian. But, rather than describing an average in temperature, it describes the divergence of the temperature field.


It seems the Samsung Knox security services rely on the Android Strongbox spec.

It is not clear that a user would actually want to trade-off hardware based security (where encryption, signature verification happens in "tamperproof" / secure silicon) for some unspecified additional RAM.

In fact, the article does not benchmark RAM/CPU/Battery usage from the service. I would speculate that there is very little benefit in wanting a few MB of extra RAM when smartphones have north of 4GB of RAM and need strong security for payments and handling personal data.


It is an interesting list. However, a better title would be "46 Books that changed America".

There are 34 instances of the word America/American in the article for 46 books and most of the authors on the list would be English speaking or American. As a result, this list provides a very American centric view of literature, history and experiences.


Well...they really are following precedent, e.g. World Series baseball. :-)


I imagine there is some term for a journalistic fallacy where the writer says everyone, the world, etc. but they actually mean the USA or some subset of it.


A sort of parochialism which claims to be universal.


The book has a level emotional depth of that is not matched in the film. The first dialogue between Deckhart and his wife (yes he is married in the book) is really clever and meta. I was extremely disappointed by the film (I first saw it 2 years ago) and it feels very dated and has that 80s men-women cringe-portrayal. I agree, read the book it is awesome!


I watched it the other day, along with its recent 2049 sequel, and felt much teh same thing about its portrayal of women. Really ... dated. There is so much stuff that is emotionally more intelligent these dayson Netflix or Amazon.

I still enjoyed both films but that aspect of them (both) really sucked.


It would also work for private a repository.


No. Ivermectin is not officially approved in the UK for the treatment of COVID-19. Source from the government : https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/freedom-of-inform...


I was under the impression that it was approved in July and your source predates this but I could be wrong

What do you say to the multitude of positive studies though? https://c19ivermectin.com/ Are all of them wrong?


This epidemiologist points out several major flaws with that website. For one, the website selectively picks the best result from each paper, which results in the website aggregating a bunch of unrelated measurements, including measurements that were not even each paper's main outcome/measurement. https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1422044335076306947


I'd like to see an alternative meta-study if one is available, do you know if a better meta-study exists?
