You can get it here. I have an appointment for iirc 30th literally in the Reisemedizinzentrum, if you want an earlier one you can most likely find pharmacies that have earlier slots too (I _think_ they all would be using the new version): ihre-apotheke.ch/de/pharmago?t

What does voting "no" on a judge's reelection do?

@jpgoldberg

Would you mind being more verbose on you approach to uncontested elections? (I don't know what is the effect of voting in them in the US.)

@cstross Consider not starring out Trump, because doing so may bypass filters of people who filter out posts with word Trump from their feed.

@munin

I don't know what to think about it being stated openly: does this mean an increased assurance in people not finding this extremely abhorrent, or increased assurance in the news not being widely believed, or in that not mattering?

@whitequark Do you know how the max current is estimated? (I wonder how the relationship between heat carried away by convection and wire diameter for a fixed temperature is modelled, and which wire orientation is pessimistic.)

You can avoid learning of drop for quite some time, but I meant something different: when you see a piece of code in isolation then you can't really tell which variables have any nontrivial drop methods (potentially quite deep inside their structures).

Due to the existence of panics, one cannot make this always-explicit: even if one was required to explicitly drop every type with code that runs at drop time (i.e. forbid implicit dropping of those), we'd still have a potential for not realizing that a drop will be called in panic control flow, so requiring that would not solve ~any issues.

I don't have any suggestions yet, but want to ask whether you want verification done by a human or by a combination of human and computer. (For example, _currently_ all video recordings produced by the AI would have mains hum mismatched with the time and place where they were supposedly recorded. Alas, one can't detect that by Mk. 1 eyeball.)

@dangillmor

The premise of the wargame was that Iran is making its long-range nuclear strike capability more ready for use.

My reading of the outcome is that such acts are more likely to lead to escalation for parties that don't consider it boundary-crossing to launch conventional missiles at each other.

@ojonnysilva @lina

I myself don't think it's very hard, but I can imagine not realising that a given type has a drop function. (And now I realized that my suggestion doesn't actually address control flow when panicking.)

@lina

> The point is that it makes a lot more sense to work on solving these corner cases, than to just throw away the entire mechanism and have fallible humans in charge of writing more complex code as a result.

Isn't this a bit of a false dichotomy (like "have gc" and "do memory management manually" used to be the only two possible choices ~before rust)?

In this particular case (invocations of drop), consider types that must be explicitly dropped by some specific means (i.e. ones that you need to pass by value to some specific function, and where letting them go out of scope in your own code is a compile error)? That would be neither relying on compiler inserting invocations of nontrivial code where they aren't explicitly written out (which I think is the issue people have with automatic drop invocation) nor on people never forgetting to drop things. (I personally don't think that would be a better world though; I'd rather see a code viewing overlay that points out where drops happen.)

Uruchom `xkcomp -xkb $DISPLAY jakisplik.txt` i popatrz na sekcję xkb_symbols: ona opisuje dla każdego klawisza, jakie symbole on produkuje (w zależności od modyfikatorów -- dla różnych klawiszy mogą być istotne różne modyfikatory, co jest ustawiane przez wpis "type" tamże).

@mcc

The problem of warning about a failure of the system that warns is similarly amusing.

@lumi

What do you mean by decentralization? That of OSes, that of messaging protocols, or something else?

@munin

Disclaimer: likely confirmation bias.

I was somewhat surprised to realize that a few organizations I know of had ~1 leadership change in ~30 years of their existence (close to now than their creation) and the change actually worked out fine. In all the cases it was gradual, which might indicate that the plans you mention were there all along, or might be a different contributing factor for success.

@pvaneynd @foone

Why care about point 1? I thought (and quick Google search seems to confirm) that breast cancer risk is affected by recent hormonal environment (as opposed to one that was around at some time during development). (Or did you mean that they wanted to include both women and transmen?)
