Iron Crowned posted:Waiting at the CVS, pretty blond lady gets in line for the pharmacy, sees my respirator, then puts on a mask. poo poo like this is why the CDC's mask-off bullshit was extra loving dumb. Mask use (or not) is heavily influenced by social pressure. A few of us so aggressively don't give a gently caress about what other people think that we're fine walking around in elastomeric respirators, but a lot of folks just go with whatever everybody else is doing so that they don't stand out.

meet girls at the store posted:Can you get an MMR booster as an adult though? Everything I’m seeing is for kids/college age adults. Yeah, you can. After all, colleges still require them for older students. It's just something that gets talked about less since there are very few people who want them past college age.

uncertainty posted:So every open biden is place is touting the "vaccine protects very well against severe cases" thing. I'm trying but actually having a pretty hard time to find out what exactly counts as a "severe case". Is it hospitalizations? Something worse? Hospitalized with supplemental oxygen (intubated), I think. Regardless, it's waaaaaaaay past the threshold of what any normal person would think of as "severe", which is why you get people with "mild" cases who are getting pacemakers. Edit: Apparently not necessarily tubed. I guess cannulas count. But, yeah, "severe" COVID means you're pretty hosed. Kreeblah fucked around with this message at 00:35 on Aug 17, 2021 |

jetz0r posted:we could get pretty good results if a certain few thousand people died. the ones who do more damage to the environment than millions of poor people, you know, the ones with vanity space programs who have to fly private jets and helicopters everywhere. Unfortunately, they're the least likely to die from COVID. The current strains, anyway. Maybe some enterprising student in a lab with a protein printer could graft those 20 mutations onto the Modi variant to give it full escape properties, stick in the ones to make it SARS-level deadly for good measure, and then release it at Davos.

mod sassinator posted:I feel like any parent is allowed to spend a few risk points right now before the complete hellscape of school starts soon. When kiddos are going to the plague factory every weekday the risks of a restaurant dinner are going to seem quaint. Imagine what the Emily Osters of the world are going to be doing. They're gonna be dragging their little superspreaders to every restaurant and poorly-ventilated event they can find because they "deserve a treat". I'm really just floored at how people think this is going to be just fine after seeing the same disaster play out over and over and over and loving over again. And then, when the inevitable happens because of their horrific policies, nobody could have known. Not our fault. Must have been those unvaccinated/immigrants/whatever causing the problems that we had absolutely no power to prevent whatsoever.

Thoguh posted:We will all be owned when we get sick late in the wave and the chuds have already taken all of the beds. I keep wondering what's going to happen when some chud's family can't get them a bed because they're already full with other chuds, and the rest of the hospitals don't have room, either. I'm seriously worried that we're going to start seeing hospital shootings or something (which is gonna do wonders for retaining hospital staff, if they have to worry about getting shot just for trying to save people's lives).

Hmmm. Maybe my friend Max Titers should get his unofficial third now-ish, and then an official third at the actual 8-month period. Should provide some good protection until then, and then jack them titers way the gently caress up.

Some people just have no clue how to make their own food, and less than zero interest in learning. Like that guy who got a dozen long blacks or whatever from Starbucks at the beginning of the pandemic because he didn't know how to brew his own coffee.

NoNotTheMindProbe posted:Why did Republicans become anitvax? Serious answer, Republicans loving love wedge issues because it means they don't have to give their base anything that would upset their constituents (rich fuckers). Don't get me wrong. Dems love 'em, too, and for the same reasons, but they seem to be too lazy and/or incompetent to go out and find new ones. So, a few decades ago (IIRC, part of the Civil Rights Act fallout), the GOP was looking for something to use to gently caress the Dems with, and latched onto abortion. Up until that point, a lot of churches saw it as the humane way to go instead of bringing a kid into the world who was going to have a supremely lovely life of poverty. But, they started in with the propaganda, and suddenly abortion was murdering babies. A little while later, some stem cells were harvested from an aborted fetus and used for research purposes. Instead of seeing that as something good that came out of the abortion (since the fetal stem cells still in use for research today come from the same original line), they started fear mongering about how medicine (and vaccines) relied on baby murder. Add in the continual whittling away of our education system in order to remove any troublesome issues like "critical thinking" and you've got a base that's ripe for being told that vaccines are evil, that they have 5G magnetic tracking chips in them, or that they turn you into a crocodile, especially if a Democrat says that they're necessary.

Forseti posted:I have no idea what their code looks like, but it's not going to scan every row with an index there* if it's written in a way that can use the index (which yours is). Even if it did, 100k rows should be a joke to a modern server, especially with caches. The fact that you even know what a query planner is puts you miles ahead of like 90% of the people writing code that interacts with databases. I'm pretty sure that most people just see them as loving magic, and then don't understand why their code that makes 17 full table scans along with some useless full joins and then a filter on the end to trim it down to one row of data causes the whole thing to fall over.

Forseti posted:^^^ I used to be a DBA lol. I feel Eric Crackle-Ping's pain. DBAs are loving unsung heroes. I just got moved over to a new team that's struggling with scaling an application, and it's just full of bad design decisions, many of which are database-related. They hadn't had any DBAs involved, ever, until I brought some in, and it shows. Meanwhile, I'm coming from an organization that has applications that connect to databases with hundreds of millions of records and would regularly put significant effort into shaving single-millisecond amounts off their response times, because that actually mattered. A lot of that involved effective caching layers, but our DBAs put in a ton of time optimizing poo poo as well.

Forseti posted:Edit: Also it makes so much sense that the Cassandra COVID thread is full of DBAs and people who understand and appreciate what DBAs do It really does. Definitely not a DBA myself (I'm one of the weirdos who got a CS degree, and then went into management and got an MBA), but I have some serious respect for what they do. It probably helps that I do know enough to usually be able to call people out on poo poo not passing the sniff test. Pretty much every DBA I've ever worked with has had a laundry list of stories of arguing with people that if said people want poo poo to not be completely terrible, they really need to do the non-trivial thing. And then not being listened to and getting paged at 4 AM because "the loving database is slow again and it's endangering our SLA commitments".
