The Upgrade Kit is available as of this morning on the Framework Marketplace, and is the complete set of hardware to bring an 11th Gen system up to what the new 12th Gen systems have.
If you're near the main drag, Bayridge is full of ambulances, school kids, church bells, people gunning their engines.. it's pretty nuts. But go 2 blocks away and it's chirping birds I think.
The mRNA vaccine is not your grandpa's vaccine. This is a new and experimental technology that is not even close to being fully understood. And there is no data on very long term adverse events.
The trial data will not be released by the FDA for another 55 years or so [1]
The J&J Janssen vaccine is a more traditional vaccine and it's not pushed by the media or the governments almost at all.
J&J is a viral vector vaccine and it's also a very new tech. Only 6 are approved. 4 for covid, 2 for ebola. It's just a crappy vaccine, that's why it's not being pushed hard.
The inactivated vaccine, which is the actual well established old tech, seems to have worked just as well, or just as poorly, depending on how you percieve the vaccine efficacy.
India used mostly the inactivated vaccine, where nearly a billion people have been vaccinated with it. Apparently, that's just not good enough for several western countries that demand you MUST get an mRNA shot, despite being fully vaccinated by inactivated vaccines that were accepted as effective by the WHO. Clearly purely scientific decisions. /s
It gets even better. Licensed Astrazeneca vaccine that was made in India is not accepted by the EU, only the UK version that's sold under a different label. duh, this is obviously The Science. /s
Most of pharma in the world is manufactured in India, btw. Usually good enough, but for some reason not in a critical emergency such as a pandemic.
Python the language itself, perhaps not. The standard library, on the other hand, is a random hodgepodge of imperative, OOP, and functional styles, and the greater library ecosystem is no different.
It doesn't. Python is actually a pretty good language for teaching algorithms, you never need to type "defclass" unless you want to. You do, kind of, have to use methods, but that's not a huge burden for a learner compared to the other things they have to learn. Also, if you're using a language-agnostic algorithms textbook (in a course, solo, or as a mentor) then Python is very close to the pseudocode in most of those.
Python's closeness to pseudocode is one reason why it makes a fantastic choice for whiteboard coding interviews.
I've personally had interviewers frustrated that I solve problems correctly so much faster than they expected. And not only correctly, but to the point where I could type what I wrote verbatim into the interpreter and prove that it actually works.
Python is pretty much zoomer BASIC. I think it's a pretty good choice for those early painful bits of learning how to program, when you have to understand that a program is sequenced instructions to a computer, that the effect of an instruction depends on what happened before, etc. You can write a complete Python program without defining a class or invoking an object. These concepts can be introduced after the learner has the basics down pat.
There's a well known paradox in nuclear strategy where counter-force targeting is actually more "humane", but it requires the nation to keep more nukes in service.
On the other hand, a small stockpile will deter your enemy only if you are willing to use your stockpile on your enemy's population centers.
When it's time for me to upgrade I'll go with one of the framework machines. [0] It's fully customizable, with room for future upgrades. I've been looking into a Dell machine for a while, but they just seem to have too many issues.
For what it's worth, I'm currently using an m1 macbook, and the battery life is absolutely incredible.
I have an M1 mac for work and I am seriously impressed with the battery life. I prefer my asus laptop that I loaded ubuntu on for my daily driver (gaming, coding, fun), but man, I can leave my work machine unplugged all day while running the work VPN, firefox & chrome, remote desktop, vscode, slack and mattermost, and finish out the day with above 70% battery. I wasn't planning to like this laptop but I do.
I'm in the same boat. Unfortunately, I have run into odd compatibility issues when trying to compile and run a handful of Rust projects that are generally meant for x86 platforms. That issue and macOS prevents me from adopting the m1 as my daily driver.
Both things may be true. Jews and Evangelicals have a different view of Israel than ordinary Americans, most of whom pay it little mind.
Jews and Evangelicals generally support Israel, albeit for different reasons. Some are, as you note, increasingly unsure of that support, especially as it extends the rule of a government that is widely seen (not just by Israel's enemies) as cruel. But older Evangelicals have a nearly fanatical support of Israel -- including those same policies.
And in general, Americans see Israel as an ally in a turbulent Middle East. Their support for it will depend largely on their perception of Middle Eastern politics and our need for their support.
Jews are a small minority in the US. Evangelicals are a large minority. So you can get countervailing trends that end up making both what you said and what the GP said true.
Yes, of course. I lived in Haifa, which kept its bus rapid-transit system and several bus lines running all through Shabbat. This was especially helpful for the nighttime bus lines, so I could go to the beach on Friday afternoon, eat dinner and see a movie at Lev haMifratz with friends in the evening, and then get home at maybe 1-2am, all with public transit.
When do you plan on making the 12th gen intel main boards + top cover available for purchase?
Will the main board upgrade bring the 11th gen machine to the same exact spec? Or does the new 12th gen have other improvements?
