She's got the Woman Grandmaster title. I think she has two norms for the open International Master title.

> Herd immunity without a vaccine is a pipe dream. Our best bet is to massively ramp up testing and contact tracing and really start pushing the number of infections down to a point where parts of society can start functioning again.

The problem is, a vaccine is also a pipe dream. So we're going to have to all get infected over some sort of timeline that doesn't cause societal collapse. Also known as flattening the curve.

I'm going to use PASETO for a personal project I'm working on. If the COVID lockdown ever ends and I have time to work on it. Thanks for building it!

Which is how it worked before the internet.

PureScript is wonderful. But it's a very steep learning curve if you don't already know Haskell, and the documentation tends to lag quite a bit behind the language.

(Warning: very layperson understanding below)

There are many variants of the flu. Most of them are well-enough understood to vaccinate against, and most of those have an already-tested-and-approved vaccine. The yearly flu vaccine is a combination of those vaccines for the strains the public health experts think are going to be an issue that season.

Sometimes they get it right. Sometimes they don't, and we have a bad flu season (see also: this year).

Well a lot of the reason other rust web frameworks were lacking was that actix-web was so dominant in the space. If the actix-web project is indeed dead, some other projects (such as warp/tower) will get more attention and hopefully become more feature-complete.

Or their merchant account. I think they disallow charging different prices based on the card type - there was a big blowup a few years back because retailers didn't want to pay the higher fees to accept debit cards, but had to because the debit cards had VISA or MasterCard logos and therefore had to be treated the same way as VISA or MasterCard credit cards.

On the contrary - when people discovered an ACE bug in Super Mario World, they PogChamp'd.

Randomizers have logic that restricts the way the items can be randomized. For example, in the default mode of the Link to the Past randomizer, you need the boots to get the item off the top of the bookshelf in the library, so that item will never be the boots. You need either the lamp or the fire rod to get through certain caves and sections of palaces, so you're guaranteed to be able to find either the fire rod or the lamp prior to having to complete those palaces.

Using glitches can help you "sequence break", to a certain extent - if you use a glitch called "fake flippers", you can reach certain areas of LttP that would normally require the flippers without having them. You'll never be required to do so to beat a seed in default mode, but doing so can save a ton of time if there's a required item blocked by the flippers and the flippers are a pain to get.

The LttP randomizer also includes "glitches required" modes, where varying levels of glitch execution might be required to complete the game, and the logic is relaxed accordingly.

That is becoming less of a problem than it used to be. There are upscalers that can, with zero lag, take an RGB signal and output something over HDMI that a modern display can use. And there are certain displays (generally computer monitors) that can deliver sub-frame input lag with used with a good upscaler. It's not QUITE the same as playing on a CRT, but it's good enough for speedrunners of many retro games.

Such a setup isn't cheap, but it's far more reliable and space-efficient than a giant CRT.

Sony had a golden age in the 80s when they were making quality hardware for reasonable prices. It was unfortunately brief.

By the late 90s, Sony was such a huge company with so many competing interests that I'm surprised they didn't accidentally sue themselves during the digital music fiasco.

It's still widely used in some video game circles. Twitch chat is an IRC server, and speedrunslive has an IRC server it uses to coordinate races.

"Rival" is a strong word. Nothing Jimmy Wales touches ever amounts to anything.

Porn breeds innovation.

I have. He was ... a person of generally questionable life choices. Great developer and a true pleasure to work with though.

The problem is, they aren't being selected out of the industry...they're becoming the industry.

Given that you can't really have power without being rich, I question the assertion that this is a choice :)
