It’s not too much of a mystery. There’s a very good likelihood that the fact that people aren’t getting regular healthcare for other health problem has lead to higher deaths rates. Hospital utilization is significantly below normal currently which means those common heart attacks, strokes, cancer screenings, among others are still occurring but not treated and resulting in higher fatalities.
We disabled all ML enabled predictive features when the pandemic began.

This has prevented us from the pain of having “bad” unreliable predictions which are worse than having “no” predictions. This saved us a lot of pain in maintainence and debugging.

Herd immunity will kick in around 70%, so the actual people that would get it is not 100% of the age group.

> I'm not sure I call something like 10,000 dead a highlight.

Given that people before were saying the death rate was 2-5%, yes, it is a good thing.

I find it really strange that people in this thread are trying to be mad about a low death rate...
I dunno man, Valorant is pretty sick. Me and my friends play maybe 3-4 matches of competitive Valorant per day and we absolutely love it. Way better than CS:GO, though the maps aren't as good. And what's wrong with Alyx being a VR game?
Indices of Multiple Deprivation use a bunch of factors to measure how much it sucks to live somewhere. Other people are saying "poverty" but that's only part of the problem.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_deprivation_index

For example suppose you are very poor but you live where I grew up in Metroland. Lack of money sucks pretty badly, but in Metroland other deprivation factors are mostly low.

There are jobs in Metroland. The schools are pretty good. There's a hospital, and a nearby doctor with a friendly manner (remember Britain has universal healthcare, but universal does not mean universally excellent). You can't afford private rent here, but local government can find you somewhere to live, and not in six months but maybe six days.

The local crime isn't too bad. Vandals, maybe the odd burglary you suspect a neighbour is on the game (prostitution), but you don't fear for your life. The surrounding space is nice, there's a play park, rolling hills, fresh air if you like that sort of thing.

So in Metroland even the poor aren't very deprived.

In contrast, in some deprived Northern cities in particular, even the middle class suffer pretty badly, and will strive to get out.

As an aside, you typically use a prodrug because you think it will lead to better drug properties than the parent compound.

This is really key. Sometimes you make a prodrug because the active drug isn't soluble enough or you can't crystalize it nicely or it unstable and degrades quickly.

The Claritin example is a good one. The prodrug requires metabolism into the active compound, but genetic variation can mean some people don't metabolize it well. There are also interactions with other drugs too. So they just changed to the active drug.
I can absolutely appreciate that but as a single person project some choices have to be made to make any project polished and makeable in a short period. I chose Firebase for that one.

Not exactly; it’s more modeled on a library card catalog. Instead of indexing a physical collection, it’s indexing the things I’ve read. If I need to take detailed, long form notes on something, I’ll do it in a notebook which will then get its own entries in the card index.
Even if that's how it ended up, I doubt that was the plan. I think a lot of Google products, especially those from 10+ years ago, start out built for people like themselves: highly tech literate software engineers. As long as that is true enough, extensions are great and useful, and the users are mostly skeptical/aware enough to avoid installing malware. Now the average chrome user is the same person that filled their IE browser window with banzai buddy toolbars.
You're right that they're sort of structurally forced into using these, so it seems a bit weird to say they're adding value.

But maybe these delivery services have grown aggregate demand for restaurant food by making it more convenient for customers? Anecdotal, but I used Uber/Lyft probably >50x more than I ever used taxis outside of NYC, and I've gotten a lot more takeout than I used to since these delivery apps became available.

If I still lived in NYC, the differential would've been much smaller, but most of the country is waaaay behind NYC in taxi/delivery usage per capita, many people are coming from near 0 in those categories.

Small computers are pretty handy, but after one mini-itx experience, I either get a regular atx tower or a tiny prebuilt system built from laptop parts, where the only things to change are ram and storage. It's just too messy cramming stuff into small format expandable pcs.

But I don't play many games that need GPUs and I don't mind low settings and terrible framerates.
It would be really useful that some instance managers out there give us a cost breakdown on how much it takes to run a "regular" instance with specific volume/traffic numbers and videos served. Transparency can help people to start in case the cost is lower than what they expected.

100% this. Gaming is like ramen noodles.
the x220 and x230 laptops you can buy for $100 are incredible machines with another like $45 in parts grab 16GB of ram with a 2.5 ssd and its an entirely adequate computer for the vast majority of people. Ports, expandability, and repairability galore.
I really like projects like this. My current gaming PC (and work from home PC right now) is an old Dell Precision tower that came with an i7 3770, with an upgraded PSU and a gtx1060. I built it two years ago for about $350 and it runs every game I own.

The old motherboard is a bit limiting (no M.2, and I can't get both PCI slots to work at the same time for some reason), but it was a fun project. It's neat to reuse the old hardware, and I honestly kind of like the look of the dell's business cases.

What's your extension ID?
I suppose I should say something.

The thing to turn off is delayed ACKs. See "TCP_QUICKACK". Delayed ACKs were a feature which is only useful for things like Telnet, where the payload in each packet is one character when the user is typing. The fixed timer for delayed ACKs is for keyboard typing speeds, and for networks so slow that human typing could congest them.
There's a reasonably good explanation here.[1]

As others said above, TCP is not a message protocol. It's a stream protocol. If you're sending messages over a stream, you need something that's reading data from the stream, and when it has a full message, it send that off to be processed. There is no set of TCP options which will reliably cause one write at the sending end to result in one read at the receiving end. If there were, it would be inefficient for small messages and would fail for large ones.

Unfortunately, there are some of us who also like the solarized type light mode in HN more than dark mode, but we use dark mode at the system level because the OS light mode is awful.

Pure CSS would be quite cool, but we'd probably also need a snippet of JS to add a button allowing to switch between light and dark mode. (There's probably a way to do it without JS that someone will hopefully comment too.)

Funny you mention CSGO.

I think the CSGO anti-cheat implementation, which consists of VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat) to catch the obvious cheats, the reporting and reviewing system (think it was called Overwatch) and the new trust/reputation system, is actually an overall much more acceptable solution than a high-privileged kernel driver.

Ah... Network hardware troubleshooting. Truly, it separates the frustration tolerant from the frustration intolerant. If not because of the challenge of having to take into account things mist programmer's treat as invisible, but because it usually involves at least one conversation with another network provider to check their stuff; which generally leads to the most passive aggressive dodging of blame until you get that one operator who's one goal in life is to keep the Internet running correctly.
Yeah, that’s almost certainly true. But it’s human nature to second-guess organizations that should know what they’re doing, and it makes for a fun mental diversion.
There was a post on HN a few days ago about a study that found low testosterone levels were correlated with worse Covid-19 outcomes. I think vitamin D is technically a hormone (or maybe is hormone-like?) so I wonder if it’s absorbed differently by men than women. Or maybe low testosterone is just a side effect of a vitamin D deficiency in men.

That's a big if. From what I've read, SwiftUI isn't even a great Mac/iOS GUI framework yet. And Windows and Linux are drastically more different than those two.
I think you are mixing up Swift and SwiftUI.

SwiftUI is a UI framework created by Apple for the Swift language, it's only available on Apple platforms, and it's proprietary.

"98.9% of Vitamin D deficient cases died while only 1.1% of them were active cases. 87.8% of Vitamin D insufficient cases died while only 12.2% of them were active cases. Only 4.1% of cases with normal Vitamin D levels died while 95.9% of them were active cases."

Wait, only 13.3% (1.1 + 12.2) of all the active cases in total were vitamin D insufficient or worse? I thought the majority of people had insufficient vitamin D.

This data doesn't fully make sense to me. How come that so few people with a vitamin D insufficiency were active cases? I get that most of them died. But I don't get that so few, less than 15 percent, got to become an active case.

If they really mean any 3.3Ghz i5, I say the Xeon E3-1225 is clearly superior to the i5-660 (dual core @ 3.3Ghz).

I really wish people would give real minimum specs again. Pick a specific processor you've run it on that it won't run on any worse and specify what cpu features you need, if any, so you know a higher end processor from previous generations won't work.

>"Told the truth." LOL. Yep, the kind of truth that got him fired with cause so hard the NLRB wouldn't go to bat for him.

Correct, inconvenient truths. The NLRB actually agreed they were immutable facts, but stating them caused disruption; they were just making sure Google didn't break the law in firing him. Thanks for proving my point HAHAHAHAHA!!!

>Apparently, being a Harvard grad, MIT research scientist doesn't guarantee an understanding of how not to get fired.

Oh he understood, it's just higher order thinkers don't care about employment as much as being factual and correct. With his credentials he can always get another job. "It is the responsibility of intellectuals to speak the truth and expose lies." -Noam Chomsky

>Google can always replace him with another Harvard grad, MIT research scientist with a better ability to play well with others.

Another grad that's more willing to toe the line, and not speak their mind. A win for the corporatists, loss for the truth of course.

>That's the perk of being Google; you don't have to tolerate the semi-productive smart kid who alienates his co-workers with "facts" he thinks he understands but doesn't

They don't have to tolerate the exceptionally intelligent people who aren't afraid to speak the truth; they're willing to let go of those who speak the facts.

Not like you'd understand these concepts anyway, higher order thinkers don't need to toe the line to make a living :D

There's nothing wrong with objects. Hierarchies of objects, though, ran into the "is-a" problem. Multiple inheritance has even worse problems, especially around order of initialization.

Now that people are mostly over inheritance for the sake of inheritance, it's not so bad. Often, you want to have one class be a member of another, rather than a child of it.

This brings up a common problem. If A is a member of B, B sometimes wants a back-reference to A. This is hard to set up in some languages. It should be made easy, because it removes much of the need for inheritance. For Rust, especially, it's a special case of Rust's back-pointer problem, the one that makes doubly linked lists and trees with backpointers hard. Not having this encourages the creation of structures with too many data elements.
I'm reading between the lines just a tad, but I think a more generous interpretation is that they noticed they have an unfortunately strong mental association between the following 2 things:

1. Online headline containing prominent usage of the word "fact" while also hinting at some sort of controversy

2. Misleading article, deceptive spin, bullshit, etc.

I don't think I have quite as strong an association, but I can definitely sympathize with this.
Its "upstream" in terms of being a 3 step drug not a 5 step drug and more of the active principle enters the bloodstream.

So if we are in operations research linear programming mode, it may be less efficacious in some ways but its simpler to make and more of the active principle is liberated into the body.

Would you rather have more drug to use on more people with more of it in the body, or a better drug but in shorter supply which needs a higher dose?

> I'll not formulate my opinion based on the suffering of 1% of the population.

Yet you seem to have an opinion already made against those people. You didn't provide facts as well for any of your comments. :/

We all know that pain can only be experienced by oneself and we have no way of truly knowing how painful one may be experiencing from an illness compared to another. That's why there has to be personal responsibility for oneself to make such a decision and compassion from society to agree someone suffering should be able to have a safe death if they truly wish to end everything. I've been in multiple medical settings because of my type of work and where pain truly makes life nothing more than ugly & despicable. I can understand your position if you've never seen a person in pain for decades and if you think all things are curable when it's simply not the case for everyone. I've also spoken to multiple doctors that take your position because they believe someone has to be the guinea pigs for progressing humanity while searching for cures.

Anyway I can give you a personal email of mine if you wish to discuss your opinions in great detail on this topic because I'm always trying to understand both sides. I don't think HN comments is the better option.
