nicolauz··on AstraZeneca vaccine doesn't prevent B1351 Covid in early trial
This quote always puts me off.

In individual virus might be that - but thats not how virus live as a species/group/form of existence. Usually they are a thriving and useful part of the ecosystem they belong to.

Virus, under normal circumstances, will live happily along a bunch of other guests in foreign hosts.

No issue.

It's human that give virus a bad raputation! We breed the fuck out of them and then are shocked when this bits us in the ass.

Or in other words: The only way this comparison (human==virus) gets accurate, is when you use the human-super-breed version of "virus"

(edit: leave vs. live)

nicolauz··on Show HN: SixtyFPS – multi-language GUI toolkit made in Rust (alpha)
Didn't look at it running or the code (yet), just the language page for the .60-syntax - and damn, that impressive;

I know Qt/Quick/QML since Qt4.7 and I must say: They avoid the quite some problematic stuff in QML:

- no dynamic scoping (YES!!)

- dedicated syntax for binding (which means it's much easier to distinguish between value assignment and an actual binding that will/can be reevaluated)

- dedicated two-way-binding (including dedicated syntax)

So far - so awesome! Will take a closer look soon!

For when is Vulkan support planned? ;)
