My guess is, it's about marketing thinking and rather defensive thinking in terms of consistency and world building. On the latter: We may assume that any virtual application/appliance should be rather aggressive in terms of world building in order to facilitate a comprehensive and consistent presentation (this is what Apple once was great in). When we migrated from terms like usability, screen design and interaction design to UX, this became subject to rather defensive approaches (A/B testing, "best" [i.e. median] practices, rather asking users instead of supporting them by own ideas, etc – arguably you can't manufacture meaning and aesthetics just on popular vote). Also, I'm not seeing much of a particular willingness to discuss, why prominent relaunches keep failing for years. Rather, there's now this myth of users always rejecting new designs at first. (As it turns out, in practices, either the old design returns - e.g., the infamous Ars Technica relaunch – or users won't return. And then, it's time for the next relaunch, usually with similar results.)

Edit: As an example, I suppose none of the much beloved and personality defining original Macintosh icons by Susan Kare could have come out of a modern UX work flow, nor the use of the Norwegian landmark sign as the marker of the command key. Or, where there any users that rejected the OS X Tiger and Snow Leopard UI, which applied quite radical changes to the previous Aqua UI?

What you need are the two functions `malloc` and `free` that have the following signatures:

declare i8* @malloc(i64)

declare void @free(i8*)

So if you have implementations of them written in LLVM IR, I think that's enough.

Beloved? The first time I used the ‘old’ pubmed 15 years ago I remember thinking it really, really sucked. The weird drop down export options, clunky irrelevant filters on the main page but having to click through multiple pages just to apply a reasonable filter, unsophisticated search etc. And it still objectively sucked 15 years later, there was just no other option. To me the new pubmed is obviously better. It pisses me off that some fool with low neuroplasticity gets attention by trashing it on twitter, and ‘Science’ writes a click baity article about it. Shameful behaviour if you ask me. If anyone on HN was involved with the redesign, thank you, you did a great job.
Sequelize documentation is pretty bad for some of this stuff, but it has the functionality you listed. You can give Postgres a default uuid by setting the column options to ‘new Sequelize.UUIDV4()’, and queryInterface supports add, remove and change column.

The biggest annoyance I had with migrations was anything that needed a model to be defined inside the migration. I eventually gave up on that and just wrote my own scripts to work around it. But perhaps I just wasn’t persistent enough...
The general strategy is to create a new table, insert data from the old table,
drop the old table, rename the new table, and re-create the indexes:

create table foo2 (
col1 int,
col2 text
);
insert into foo2 sleect col1, col2 from foo;
drop table foo;
alter table foo2 rename to foo;
create index on foo(col1);

As for the reason, see the next section on that link. It's not perfect, but it is what it is. SQLite wasn't designed to solve 100% of the use cases, and that's not a bad thing.

Agreed. It's definitely up to the user to make smart decisions.

However, it's not so cut and dry either. In my last company (B2C mobile app based), we were pretty much getting beat by several competitors. And it showed across all metrics, ratings/reviews/downloads/web traffic/retention/engagement - what have you.

And later on we found out that the founders had been fudging up the metrics and presenting to investors which is why they actually were never able to raise the round, but came very close. By straight up lying.

If some form of business/product intelligence is used to identify such red flags, it can save a lot of bad decisions and heartache from ever happening for everyone involved.

In that regard, I welcome more empirical evidence based decision making (aka statistics/machine learning etc.) where it's appropriate.
The trend was the result of prohibition, and is akin to the phenomenon of high potency moonshine being produced in the alcohol prohibition era. Sellers and movers had an incentive to maximize their profit to risk ratio. One way was to increase perceived potency. Just look at K2/spice for another result of this dynamic. That's a moonshine situation.

Now there is plenty of low THC weed out there. The dispensaries just don't offer it for some reason. You can find it in head shops and online. These are very good strains, mind you, bred with intention by skilled growers.

If cannabis was legal on a federal level, we'd likely see more low-mid THC strains emerge in markets. Right now there's a weird legal gap between what headshops can sell and what dispensaries are interested in selling, so the ~1-5% THC weed is pretty niche.

There's quite a lot of energy going into that those alternative strains right now. People are cultivating lots of other cannabinoids, CBG, CBN, CBT, CBC... and many more. They're making some good ones too!

_Permanently totally isolating everyone over 60_ is clearly not feasible.

More or less infeasible than throwing millions of people out of work and forbidding everyone from seeing their friends and families?

And it is not like under 60s are all that safe. In the US 25% of deaths are under 65.

85% of the US population is under 65. So 15% of the population has 75% of the deaths, meaning a randomly selected person over 65 is 17 times more likely to have died than a random person under 65.

Steve Wozniak: How Steve Jobs would react if he could see Apple today [video]
I ran some performance/reliability benchmarks on the product I'm working on (which supports SQLite and PostgreSQL), and SQLite was about 30% faster than PostgreSQL.

This won't hold true for all use cases; one table now has 11 million rows, and I'm not sure how well SQLite would perform on that. The benchmark was very simple anyway, and it's mostly a read-only where users don't update/insert new stuff. Would be interesting to re-test all of this.

> China was conquered by multiple waves of "barbarians"

The fact the imperial power belonged to foreign dynasties (mainly the Yuan and the Qing) doesn’t mean the people itself and its culture was erased. Actually in case of Manchu the reverse happened with the ruling elite taking Chinese culture while forgetting it’s own culture.
The news is full of scary anecdotes, because that gets clicks. People are rightfully starved for information, the data is fuzzy, incomplete, and complicated, the situation is unusual, has evolved, became politicized unfortunately, etc.

I'd like to think you and I could agree in general to a broad set of known facts, and certain ranges of predictions, a set of possible outcomes, etc. But I think we'd still disagree on how to proceed! That's the part I'm curious to talk about. I don't mean to be argumentative with any of this or quibble over details, just trying to share my line of thinking, and curious about yours.

I can agree with the predicted 240k deaths in the U.S. you quoted, I guess that would be about 1 in 1375 people in a country of 330 million. I end up comparing those odds to the 863 of every 100k people how in any given year [1], which is 1 in 115, or almost 12 in 1375. These numbers vary by age, but the averages serve as decent enough discussion points when we talk about a large population in aggregate, which is how I look at this.

I'd feel differently if it were easier/possible to save those 1 in 1375 people who will die from covid, but it's not. The lockdowns were successful keeping hospitals from being overwhelmed (something I supported), but there is zero indication that we can stop this with lockdowns, quarantines, or contact tracing at this point. There are too many infected people. The odds are that there will not be a vaccine for many years, either.

Experts say that the most likely outcomes are that this virus decreases in severity to become another variant of the common cold, or comes up occasionally making for something like a bad flu year [3]

I feel bad for the tens of millions of folks in the U.S. negatively impacted by the lockdowns, especially without evidence supporting that lockdowns will make a long term difference if hospitals are not overwhelmed. I'm afraid the economic price to pay is going to be terrible for so many people, so many lives turned upside down, that the economy is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Look what happened after the 2008 recession, the protests, the ascendency of right wing national politicians, civil wars in the middle east, etc. This looks like it could be worse. I feel horrible about the added debt being passed to the younger generation for this stuff, why should they pay with a lower standard of living because collectively we can't save for a rainy day?

At this point it seems best to me to support hospitals and what we know works, including helping the vulnerable self-isolate. I don't think it's justified to force unwilling people into lockdowns unless hospitals are becoming overwhelmed.

This isn't how I've seen it work out where I work.

Anytime someone expresses they're going to leave, my company bends over backwards (sometimes too much to be honest) to try and make them happy.

I think it all depends on how you phrase things when it comes to the reactions of others.

If you say I'm leaving, I hate this company, etc. etc. of course there is going to be retribution.

But if you say I want new opportunities, I'm looking to grow, I think most folks (at least those I that I would _want_ to work for) wouldn't seek retribution for that. So long as it aligns with company goals and you're right for that opportunity, I think most are happy to let you have the chance to prove yourself.

To be honest, the main reason I've started looking to leave my current job is I've expressed multiple times that I'd like a new challenge, or to help on XYZ and they've straight up ignored me. I don't think it's malicious on their part, I just think my managers are too focused on their own careers to help me with mine (it doesn't help that I'd be dipping into their territory by moving up). I guess you could say I've hit a ceiling, and it can probably only be solved by moving on to another company.

The frustrating part will be when I do get an offer and tell them I'm leaving, they're going to suddenly want to do all the things I've been asking for to get me to stay.

While I agree with the other comments saying this is a bit clickbaity, this reminded me of Greg McEwon's Essentialism and Cal Newport's Deep Work.
> shortening the 14 day period to perhaps 4-7 days

I note that the Copyright Office report you linked to elsewhere in this discussion says (p. 6, top):

"[T]he current statutory timeframes to resume providing access to content following receipt of a counter-notice currently ill serves both users and rightsholders given current business models and the realities of federal litigation. Ten to fourteen days is both too long for legitimate speech to be blocked, and too short for a rightsholder to realistically prepare and file a federal lawsuit to prevent the return of infringing materials."

Shortening the first period addresses the first issue (somewhat), but not the second. The root problem here is the same issue I've raised elsewhere regarding DMCA notices, applied to counter notices: just as content gets taken down on receipt of a notice, without legal due process, content gets reinstated on receipt of a counter notice, without legal due process. So just as the notice process invites abuse by companies bullying legitimate posters of content that is not infringing, the counter notice process invites abuse by posters of content that is infringing.

In both cases, the system favors the strong (companies that want to bully people), or at least the illegitimate (posters of infringing content who don't think the legitimate owners can file a lawsuit within 14 days of a counter notice) at the expense of the weak and legitimate (legitimate posters of non-infringing content, and legitimate owners of content who can't move fast enough to protect it). That's not how the law is supposed to work.

> Considering that the virus is here to stay for a few years at least, how can we blame them for thinking this way?

It has been widely reported since the very beginning of the pandemic that the likely time to develop and deploy a vaccine is on the order of 18 months. Yes, it might be more, it might also be less (quite a few are already in testing!). But the idea that this is permanent has never been a feature of any expert advice nor mainstream reporting.

The idea that the people who support lockdowns (which is, let's be clear, almost everyone) want to be shut down forever is, itself, a fever swamp hallucination.

Stay home until it's beaten, and then open up slowly so we don't lose control again. Much of the world outside the US and the UK, in fact, is already opening up.

Okay, starting from the beginning, because we’ve gotten sidetracked here. This is your original comment:

> Doesn't that mean that having children is basically selfish?

You were not originally making the point that having your own children was selfish compared to adopting. You were stating that it was selfish, in and of itself. Basically selfish. I still maintain that it is not, and I don’t believe you have actually argued successfully that it is. The main argument you seem to be making is that, because having your own children is more selfish than adopting, that makes it selfish in a general sense, since those are the only two options. But another option when it comes to reproducing is not having any children at all. And I can’t really see how you can argue that having your own children is more selfish than not having any children at all, since having children involves giving another person the chance to be alive at great personal cost and not having children involves no personal sacrifice and no other person getting the chance to be alive.

So the only viable position that remains is to say that having your own children is more selfish than adopting. If that’s your position, then we are in agreement.
Tried which one, sorry? I haven't used AltStore much myself since I have an older model with the hardware exploit, but it did work the one time I tried it.

I understand the dissent in these comments but I also have prospered by ensuring slack is mostly always present. It is effective self care but also forces you to really prioritize and make hard calls rather than letting circumstance make them for you. To do that you have to identify what you really care about and let go of the rest and that really changes everything.

Consider the feelings around: oh sh*t, I have to accomplish more while doing less? It really forces cutting the noise, being effective, and appreciating what you really love.
