Great question. Reaching herd immunity does not cause a virus to stop circulating. It just stops it from spreading exponentially. That’s a common misconception.

What you are referring to is eradication, which has only ever been performed twice. SARS-2 is functionally impossible to eradicate due to its zoonotic origin and incredible spread.

Even with herd immunity SARS-2 is here to stay. That’s not a problem though, even if we could so something about it. Why? Because SARS-2 kills the very old but spares the very young. Therefore once it has passed through the current population, the set of SARS-CoV-2-naive individuals becomes dominated by new entrants to the world, meaning babies/toddlers, the same group that does not die to COVID-19 in any real numbers. Therefore unlike Influenza, recurring deaths from COVID-19 will be incredibly low in subsequent years.
Most of these are absolutely terrible, or are political commentary in image form. None of them look like something people would want to wave to represent themselves and their nation.

As a non-American, absolutely none of these convey any sense of Americanism to them at all.

Typical of modern art: all of it looks like it could have been created in MS Paint in ten seconds by a high-school student.

But if that was your goal, why wouldn't you just remain silent and allow your targets to continue to use the platform? Presumably a live data feed is strictly better than one than one that immediately dries up.
I've been using PHP for years and am a believer. It's just as good, if not better in many cases, as other languages used for similar purpose. Especially with the features PHP 7 brings; I particularly like the more robust type hinting. Just gotta write good code!
If I could send you back in time to stop this machine's designer from deploying it at scale with some of the channels depopulated, I would! It's an HPE DL360 g10, if you go look at their catalog you'll see that all of the off-the-shelf and BTO memory configs are nonsense.

Thanks for doing the math on the power story. I didn't realize about the scaling.
Probably my favourite part about Newpipe is the option to skip silences. If you're watching/listening to a speech-only video, it (at least feels) like such an improvement.
That makes more sense and this way they can prove at least prove they have the bitcoin private keys. Reduces some of the deniability that the DMs were faked.
Does the problem really lie in those people, themselves, or in the circumstances that led to their labor being worth so little?
Interesting but weird.

CEO's aren't failing software engineers, no more than software engineers are failing the cafeteria crew by using too much ketchup.

If they are failing, they are failing the business. There's evidence of significant problems in business/management philosophy, as the consensus is that you need to optimize for now, and later is somebody else's problem. That has nothing to do with software engineers.

Technology people sometimes get this worldview that they are the sun, and the universe revolves around them. Hate to break the news, but no.
What do you mean by seeing a curve? If I look at the Earth from the top of a mountain I see a curved horizon, same if I look at it from The Moon.

>Consider the Official YouTube app, with a paid YouTube Premium subscription.

That is definitely an option, but people who use things like youtube-dl or apps like NewPipe probably aren't in the target audience for YouTube Premium.

>Videos with still images (many songs) shouldn't be much data at all over the audio alone.

Part of the point is if you never intend to watch the content, but only want to listen to it, there's no point to having video.

is there any reason you can't write a web component with a <style> block, a <script> block, and a bunch of html?

the wedging everything into js is messy, to say the least. it seems the main benefit is being reusable and tightly scoped, but with randomized class names, you could tightly scope the aforementioned bundle as well. even better would be if html added 'for' attributes to <style> and <script> tags, like labels have, so you could target nodes in the dom by id.

perhaps being composable is a bigger challenge, but is it insurmountable with this approach?
You could probably use the distorted backgrounds to reconstruct the original photograph.
Pretty much. They both have refactoring operations, but they're a slightly different set.

(Edit: Some of the IntelliJ operations are distinctly superior to the Eclipse ones. But not all. In my experience I'd say they're about even here.)

For example, in Eclipse it's trivial to take an inner class and move it to its own file. In IntelliJ that doesn't seem to be an option.

And that's a breaking change if I do it manually, which is where the Problems panel is so useful.

Not forgetting TDD where in Eclipse I can write multiple tests for a feature before any code exists and run them before the unit I'm testing even fully compiles!

For example, in this screenshot one of the methods the test class invokes doesn't exist: https://paperstack.com/img/ides/eclipse_run_broken_code.png

I've been following this app for a while, and for a long time I was using a PR version of the app that kept the subscription list in order of time (which didn't exist for a really long time). But they finally merged it a while back, so the published app finally became usable for me.
It depends on what you mean by effectively. Slaves routinely worked sun up to sun down 6 days a week. Long work weeks are common in some developing countries now.
> I wonder if your success also had something to do with the fact that you had a specific problem you were trying to solve.

As a side note, and I've found that this is one of the best ways to learn. Find a hard but obtainable problem and work towards it gathering all the knowledge you need along the way. What works for me is breaking down a project into a bunch of mini projects and so it becomes a lot easier to track progress and specify what I need to learn. That way even if you don't finish the project there's still a clear distinction of what you learned and can do.

I'm highly in favor of project oriented learning.

you need a bridge loan and then a property development loan, not a mortgage.

What you want to engage in is property development and these are substantially higher in interest rates (and typically refinanced once everything is built).

Traditional mortgages are secured by the asset value and the repayments are secured by the potential cashflow from the property. If there's no building then it's just the land value.
I get it too. I used to teach, albeit in a different country. Several of my aunts, uncles, and cousins are teachers too. My answer was more geared towards everyone else who had the same question you had but can't see how upper management would logically justify such a response.

The crux of your question, though, is an ethical one and I think everyone knows the answer - it's not OK.

Sadly, money often trumps ethics in America and my response was an explanation as to why that happens. You will also see the very same people trot out ethics as justification for their actions when it benefits them (case in point, one reason for re-opening schools).

Your comment and question is a great one that everyone should be wondering. The next step is to get people to understand why the illogical is happening and who are making those decisions. That will point people towards confronting the right people in power with the right arguments to push for change.
Well, what else is a failing software engineer to do?
Just ran some rates in my area for an EPO with reasonable copays and zero co-insurance:

$3,600/yr individual, $0 deductible, 8k OOPL

$9,600/yr self + spouse + kid, $0 deductible, 16K OOPL

$12,000/yr self + spouse + 2 kids, $0 deductible, 16K OOPL

Although I don't really think it makes sense to compare costs based on OOPLs. For most people, the deductibles, coinsurance, and copays are much more relevant to actual costs.
I don't mind some Instagram ads which are directly related to accounts I follow. For example, follow some musicians on Instagram and get an advert for some other artist's new album. I don't use Facebook but I guess it could work similarly if you follow certain interest-related groups. However, I wouldn't like if it was using my interactions with friends to target me.

Both of these are better that tracking your activity all over the web and using that to target you.
I recently had to work on a PHP codebase. It wasn't a very old one in terms of churn, but it had been around for a while. It was surprisingly clean and well-built from what I could tell, it just got lost in a transition to a new server in a new language. Symfony itself still has some warts in terms of boilerplate but it wasn't difficult to poke around the code. In fact, the most painful bit was setting up on a Mac because the extensions for IMAP and other things weren't easy to add in. That's more of an issue with Homebrew and their decision to reduce what they were willing to support.

Language wise, it's catching up a lot and the additions seem to be sensible enough. I'm not sure I would start a fresh project in it but it's great to see how it's matured over the years, and just like Typescript is to JS, I hope it provides a good introduction to things like static typing to novice programmers who are starting out with PHP for pure ease of use.

Beyond that, what's the point in hating a language? I've found real joy and enthusiasm in playing with different ones just to get a feel for how you would approach certain problems with them.
Snowflake through and through.

I haven't used Spark, and have used Snowflake extensively, so I may be quite biased. I imagine Spark has advantages in certain very high performance ML workflows.

(see my HN profile for links to my writing on the topic of Snowflake)

I didn't really understand the blog post to be honest, and I also don't really know how appropriate a direct comparison between Snowflake and Spark is? Perhaps you can give your perspective.

I believe so. In my country, having an iPhone was a sign of higher income. An average Android phone with a known brand is about 1K local currency, iPhone SE is around 5K and iPhone 11 Pro is around 11K. Average junior developer earns around 5K monthly. Nowadays, even people that can't afford proper food buy them second hand or with installments.

I, as an Android user, keep reading stories about how iPhone respects privacy and how it is more stable etc. Even though there is no add-on support for Firefox on iOS (for uBlock origin) and I know I won't be able to develop any app for my own iPhone (MacBooks are even more expensive around 20K) I still want to buy an iPhone to get rid of Google and its compulsory apps.
I know if I care enough about my privacy I can get LineageOS or something, I just want something that works and not owned by Google.

Which modern framework? The most common alternative: python. A 30 year old language with two completely different syntactical versions 2 & 3. Packed with all the great shit fest, eg: urllib, urllib2, urllib3.
Using PHP sounds like a perfectly sensible choice, given your circumstances. Your argument falls short of convincing that PHP is the best tool for _everyone_, though.

1. I'm not aware of any non-trivial feature in Laravel that isn't matched by e.g. Rails, Django, Elixir, or indeed any sufficiently modern web framework.

2. This speaks more to where your comfort zone resides than any intrinsic merit of the language/ecosystem.

To be clear: there's nothing wrong with your using PHP. I'm just left wondering what your initial point was... that PHP is your favorite language?

> Neither Internet or TV advertising ever worked for me in the US.

This is a common idea that people hold, but I am pretty suspicious of it. First, at the macro scale, we know that ads are effective. If they weren't, it wouldn't be such a huge industry. Second, I think many people misunderstand what ads are doing. They aren't changing your mind usually, instead they are reminding and reinforcing something you already know. For example, my next phone will most certainly be an iPhone, but can an ad make me excited enough about it to mention that to a friend? Or buy a new phone sooner? Probably.
Laravel benefits substantially, IMO, from a "benevolent dictatorship" contributor model that targets "is this easy to work with" over pretty much anything else. Taylor Otwell can be a controversial figure in the PHP world at times, but the results are difficult to argue with.

USB-If Publishes USB Device Class Specification for MIDI Devices v2.0
Just a copy of the pdf press release. The actual spec is at https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/USB%20MIDI%20v2_0.pd...

Most excited about the jitter correction time stamps for midi 1.0, like a few (old?) non-class compliant midi interfaces has, as I don’t expect to have any midi 2.0 gear any time soon. But if some one makes a range of midi usb 2.0 interfaces that just supports midi 1.0 DIN with better timing, I’m sure that will make a lot of people happy.

I really wonder why so many innocuous, on-topic comments about NewPipe are being downvoted in this thread. Are YouTube employees raiding HN or something? /s

NewPipe is a great app, lighter on system resources than the official YouTube app, free & open-source, and a joy to use especially if you're overwhelmed by the serious UI "bloat" that YouTube has been suffering from in recent years. In addition to being ad-free, in many other ways is it a superior video-viewing experience.
If I understand correctly, the real users were locked out. Doesn't that mean that they couldn't send DMs?

Now, sure, you could gain access earlier, capture DMs for a while, then lock out the real users, post the bitcoin scam messages, collect what you can in bitcoin, and still have the captured DMs as your real haul from the attack.
Well, if you want an example, the premium subscription is not available in my country. I send a small sum (small by Western standards and pretty substantial to me) once or twice a year directly to the creators of two channels I am interested in.
> Doesn't using a framework in this case mean that you also have to at least bundle that framework with the component?

yes something like react would be the main framework on the page. i guess this is showing how much overhead there is in each of the different of frontend frameworks and also what the code to do a relatively simple but not trivial example looks like.
It that were the case, you would expect the danger to come towards the end of shifts and not from the changeover itself or beginning of new shifts. The problem is the passing of information. Some places operate on a 12 hour schedule and some on an 8 hour schedule. It isn't clear that the 8 hour schedule is actually safer because while workers are less tired, you increasing the number of daily handovers by 50%.

You can see that in SF right now. Certain neighborhoods (downtown core) are seeing a ton of people leaving and other neighborhoods are seeing increased prices (further from core, higher % of single family homes).

I have not seen this in suburbs of cities in the Rocky Mountains or West coast. If anything, the houses would sell for more than list price for anything in the $500k to $1M range.

I have something similar. If you hook me up to an automatic EKG it will say I'm having an infarction right now. Makes me want to stay away from ERs as they'll put me on some treatment for heart attacks without thinking.

Right now the extra stress and weight gain gives me much worse heart palpitations. Its hard when that happens to relax when you have to think whether something serious is finally happening or just another blip.
