From your comment it sounds like you are looking for Sublime Text to become something… different?

From my perspective, Sublime Text isn't looking to become something different. Instead we are continuing to make a well-polished text editor that is fast and can be extended in many ways. As you've noted, we've added a lot of polish, but also added some pretty significant features, and continued to lay the ground work for more smart, out-of-the-box functionality. Some of the things may not jump out at you in terms of reading a changelog, but you'll feel them as you see how they can help you to navigate and write software.

Many users want or need their edge cases more well handled. Package developers want to have access to more information and be able to influence more of the behavior of the application. We daily engage with active community members to better understand how they want to add features, and are regularly working on ways to make that possible. However, the biggest number of users are helped by the features provided in a default install and that require no configuration. We've continued to put work into those areas to make Sublime Text excellent and easy-to-use, from the moment you open it.

I'm not particularly interested a feature by feature comparison, but I think upon a close look, you'll find that Sublime Text generally provides excellent, high-performance implementations of many features that get less attention in other products. Some people really appreciate the polish, the speed, the things that just work. Other people want more automation and deep language integration. Some people want a single interface that contains many different tools. Through a combination of default functionality and plugins, we can cover a fair bit of that. Clearly we aren't trying to be everything to everyone. Luckily for users there is a healthy market of tools to write software, and we'll continue to be a part of that and to build a product that we (and many, many others) love to use.

Correction:

The original URL is provided by the Share button on the right. But it's not a link. (To visit it, you'd have to copy and paste back into the browser. You can't share a link to the app you are shared from

So the URL is available as always, but the link is not.
My idea is that a pool of free-hardware computer can be used to build up some community networks and clusters of hardware sharing their resources.

If you run a GNUnet node on a RISC-V router running seL4 [0] to log into your bank account, then it's pretty useless if your laptop runs an Intel CPU that access your keystrokes. Or if you use a cellphone.

But with those RK3399 platform, it's another level of security. I'd say that the pinephone / pinebook will not ruin your potential for network security. And that the trust is defined by the fab, and thus if Pinestore (and their fabs... are they located in Shenzhen ?) is doubtful, at least their design is getting easier to copy and make a trustful version yourself.

Also, I want GuixSD with GNU Hurd and seL4 sharing GPU resources for Vulkan rendering in the community. Not all this is ready yet, but I could never dream about it without the ARM phones/laptops/SoC.

You've got the right Robin Hanson.

The key argument is that there is lots of uncertainty, but variolation is probably worth trying. And if volunteers can be found, why not? One shouldn't need to be a virologist to credibly make that argument.

It's actually even harder, as the starting point is much, much worse. That's the reason the modern vaccines were developed: they are much safer from the very start. We simply know much more today than at these times, so we can know (almost) exactly what is going on in the building blocks, and actually use the building blocks and track the effects of the building block without ever having the risk of having to handle and manage the more dangerous thing -- the complete, fully functioning and easy to spread virus -- applying it to every human that we want to "protect".

In analogy world for the modern vaccines, imagine a science fiction scenario: the evil aliens look like humans, can and want to easily kill them, but look exactly like humans and we don't know how to recognize them. Variolation is like catching them but them setting them free to go around and kill more in order to train us, expecting that it is possible to set free small enough number of them over and over so that in the fight we will "manage somehow" to win and also learn something while fighting, wheres, producing modern vaccines is like just finding out that the evil aliens look differently in infrared light and just teaching us to use infrared cameras to locate them, completely avoiding the real additional fights among the population "just for training."

Variolation, as defined in the article, was the best method that we knew a few centuries ago, but now we simply know much more now. And solving the problem is still complicated enough even with the "better start." We want to minimize false alarms, friendly fire etc. practically, we know what we want and how to measure it and we do all we can to minimize the number of bad outcomes.
Actually I just switched this year to a job for a big data start up, I had no working experience with big data so far.

I completely agree with you, you should do what you love to do. A lot of experience will only make switching easier, as long as you keep an open mind. This will eventually show in some job interview and it will get you a job, whether you are young or old.
I can immediately think of sites that are open to gender critical discussion. Voat, 4chan, and many other message boards exist for such. It isn't a topic I'm particulaly interested in, but if you start there I'm sure you can find more spaces where that type of discussion is accepted and embraced.

"Freedom of speech" isn't freedom to force private businesses to provide a platform for your content. There are plenty of businesses besides Twitter that will provide a platform for the type of discourse you are looking for.

> certainly thought a vaccine was 'a bit of' the thing to immunised against

A lot of the original vaccines were made from deactivated viruses. I don't know how that process works exactly, but your understanding isn't far off at least for how they were originally produced.
Twitter made a pragmatic choice.

They realize that simply deleting the posts in question and banning the user (Stable Genius) would have a serious backlash from the hard-right. They did what they feel was the next best thing, which is to call out the garbage for what it is by slapping an unremovable label on it. It sort-of seems like a "win", they get to smack-down the asshole, yet not "censor" him.

Unfortunately Stable Genius is playing a different game.

It's a game where outrage, even when directed at him, actually HELPS him. It gives him yet another grievance to trot around, yet another distraction for the public, more leverage for his base, more grist for his vitriol. Meanwhile other republicans will use this cover to continue to cram through unpopular and self-serving greedy agendas, in "shock doctrine" style.

The thing is Twitter is not news, it has no loyalty to the public or the truth. It is a purely money making enterprise, like any other corporation. Jack Dorsey and the board can do whatever the F they want.
The real news is Qt6.

It may be more cost effective to use the same db instance, but that has it's own issues, like 1 site dragging everyone down, all sites need to handle the same db version and upgrade together..

I guess it's also just more instances to manage in total, instead of 1 + n it's 2n.

You _could_ run the dbs on the same instance but not using the same DB process, via containerisation perhaps. That way you could reduce your instance count while still keeping (somewhat) operational separation..

Long hours are not the only way to exploit the naivety of youth. In fact, more likely than not and particularly in Europe, the critical element is usually pay. Older guys will have a family and an expensive lifestyle to support, they might have seen how much higher-ups take home, they might have been burnt in the past... so they will typically have higher demands for compensation.

Also, the young are more likely to give the benefit of the doubt to corporate bullshit. Case in point: my first reaction nowadays, any time an exec calls for a "all-hands meeting" is, we're going to get shafted or even fired, the company must be in trouble, someone high-up needs more cashflow to go in their pockets and not ours... And maybe I'm right and maybe I'm wrong, but the point is, I'm not going to drink any koolaid. Younger folks struggle to understand this attitude, and I don't blame them, because they lack the necessary experience and trauma.

Tesla was amazing and unparalleled from about 2012 to 2018. In the U.S., since the Kona/Niro EVs, I-PACE, e-tron, and Taycan have shipped along with the Electrify America rapid charging network, Tesla no longer has a corner on the EV market. A fully-decked-out Model S costs the same as a base Porsche Taycan 4S. I'd challenge anyone to test drive both cars configured at the ~$115k price point and then come back and tell me you wouldn't chose the Porsche.

> About 1/3 of the hospitalizations were First Nations women.

Huh? That doesn't sound right.... and indeed looking at your source it isn't... but in some sense it looks like it might actually be worse than that

> Indigenous people accounted for 27.8% of all hospital admissions reported to PHAC during the first wave, but only 6.1% of hospital admissions during the second wave (Helferty et al., 2010).

Less than a third of hospitalizations were indigenous people (both genders), it seems, and later

> Rolland Harris et al. (2012), for example, found that Indigenous women accounted for 16.2% of hospitalized cases, [... continued below]

So indigenous women are 1/6th of hospitalizations (which makes sense with 1/3rd of hospitalization being indigenous people). But

> [... direct continuation of previous quote] 18.2% of ICU cases, and 50% of fatalities attributed to H1N1 influenza of those reporting ethnicity across Canada when both waves of the pandemic were combined.

Indigenous women were half of the total deaths???

I feel like something weird must be going on with these statistics.

What about the URL bar?

For average non techie users, the URL bar isn't particularly helpful. They use page content. And AMP pages do show the original page domain name.

one of the frustrating things its really hard to find great advanced content, and when you reach out to HN readers, they are like 'read really advanced PHD papers'. thats not what I mean at all >.<

Would like to add a little context to this for anyone who isn't familiar-

For all the intelligence and engineering prowess of Germans, their Internet infrastructure is severely lacking. Most places I'm aware of have poor connections to begin with but also still meter every kilobyte that you download, so Germans are really far more conscious of payload sizes than most Westerners are, where internet service is just a flat fee.

It's really strange when so-called "second-world" countries like Bulgaria and Romania have far better Internet than Germany
To Google, of course :-)
I like that Gary Bernhardt tweets every once in awhile something along the lines of "we have no actual evidence that any software methodology actually leads to better, less buggy software". We have people falling all over themselves to sing the praises of XP, TDD, Agile/Scrum/etc, and yet, we can't show software actually getting any better. I've been around long enough now to see these trends rise and fall. One thing remains constant though. Humans make errors. Humans try to find better ways to fix these errors (faster, more effectively). Humans like trying to notice patterns. It's a good thing. But trying to say any one of those patterns is more effective than another, is a hard sell. The result is always the same. The ONE lesson I wish all young developers could learn early:

You will learn new information that will cause you to question yesterday's "best practices". So quit holding on to what you know now as the "one true way". Be willing to learn from people you consider "old and irrelevant"... they may actually know something.

> Not to mention, a lot of the more expensive repairs are going to be covered by warranty or insurance anyway. Sure, they’re expensive, but so is everyone else.

This ignores the timing aspect too. What other major manufacturers might have up to 6 weeks or more lead times for repair parts for current vehicles?

> Many people who buy new cars either don’t care or actually prefer to go to the dealer.

I own a new, high-end car. I'd rather find (an orthogonal issue) and go to a passionate mechanic than a dealership who has lock-in (and of the two issues my vehicle has had, I am fairly certain the dealer service center _caused_ one of them, and then couldn't answer a simple question that anyone with a multimeter could, with the other).

Probably hard to tease apart, but I wonder if the "dying your hair" part matters as much as the "dressing more hip" part. Someone that looks like they're dressing well and have a sense of style is likely to innately have a better first impression than if you look like you're an extra in a sitcom. It'll help you stick out in people's minds, for better or worse, and shows at least some level of caring about the position.

I'm a younger guy, but I know I try to pick my outfit carefully when going for an interview. I don't have a totally different interview wardrobe or anything, but I pay a little more attention to matching colors and generally looking more put-together.

You may not even need to get your kids to dress you - just find a friend your age who cares about fashion some to help. Even if you think you dress well, having someone else check you over or make small suggestions can help.

For me, the UX is terrible on mobile. On my device it breaks the auto-hide behavior of the chrome address bar - normally when you scroll down the address bar hides, but with AMP only the thin AMP bar hides when scrolling down. On some websites they only display a portion of the website content on AMP (ex. Reddit, although it seems like they have fixed this now), so to see all of the website content I have to click out of the AMP page to view the full page, and then click again to expand whatever content I was trying to view in the first place. And when I want to view the original web page I have to click this little "i" icon to reveal the actual web page link rather than them just putting a link to the original web page in the amp header directly.
> Nearly 50 percent of people experienced time dragging during March, whereas about 24 percent perceived it to be speeding up.

Basically, Google is penalizing webmasters who do NOT support AMP (also by rewarding competitors who DO support it); if you depend on Google search results for a significant portion of your traffic, not having AMP will impact your business.

First, I had to wrap my head around something very simple: who one is (I am a software engineer) and what one does to acquire currency are orthogonal. This is simultaneously obvious and difficult to accept in modern western culture. I admit this took me a few years to digest.

Next, I had to honestly explore other aspects of myself. What else held interest for me besides electronics and software?

Further, of these other interests, which of them were reasonably "safe" from outsourcing, offshoring, and automation? I do not want to transition into new currency acquisition activities that are themselves a race to the bottom. Tangentially, I considered the perceived prestige of each of these. I could give two shits personally, but I've learned the hard way that the perceived prestige of an activity impacts how others will treat you.

Finally -- as I am a software engineer -- how can I use this skill to augment my effectiveness in performing any of these new activities?

This is an ongoing process for me. I've always had an interest in the law. Law school is out of the question, so I've looked into paralegal work and how I could provide a unique service in this space.

Additionally, there are mundane dirty jobs -- specialized trash hauling, electronic recycle brokering, etc. -- that are poorly serviced in many localities. I believe I'll end up doing something here as well.

I view this transition as open ended. It's no longer about "career" but staying in a lateral thinking mode about combinations of possibilities.
He's an economist, sure, and is proposing an idea that others can consider and, perhaps, study. I am not looking to this blog post as a source of treatment ideas but instead as a source of ideas.

I've been reading about the importance of the viral load in survival against this disease. His proposed variolation approach is one I've personally considered. Much like families of old had chicken pox parties for their kids, the idea of just getting this over with as safely as possible has some appeal.

Yet it is an approach out of favor for good reason. For most diseases the risk can be significant and historically we've been able to improve survival via quarantine and treatment. This disease is apparently harder to quarantine due to a long latency period and asymptomatic cases. And we have no effective treatment for the worst cases.

It is interesting however to consider that for patients inoculated with preliminary vaccine, it is considered unethical to give a "challenge dose" of virus, while this guy proposes doing so for those with no protection whatsoever. I can't get past that, and am too risk averse to try his idea even in a carefully controlled setting. I'll keep wearing my mask, washing hands and wait it out for now.

There is hope that we will discover a variant of this disease which is less dangerous. In that case I think the approach he recommends is more reasonable.
