The current evidence points to asymptomatic transmission being much less likely than symptomatic transmission. This =/= no evidence that supports asymptotic spread.

And that’s ignoring that there are separate studies that think the chance of asymptomatic transmission is much higher, and studies that estimate the majority of transmission is caused by asymptomatic cases. Given the cost of wearing a mask is low and the price of being wrong about the evidence is high, there remains no good reason not to wear a mask.
And for users with access to technical expertise to do the same. IOW, free software decouples the maintenance and adaptation of software from the original vendor, much like personal vehicles, household appliances and general home improvements rely on a support infrastructure that has only very minimal ties with the original manufacturer.
Sorry, I should clarify that my comment wasn't intended to be advice or endorsement of the situation. I was being descriptive, not prescriptive.

I don't really have a dog in the race when it comes to whether or not such veblen goods should exist. I agree they are often only sought after as status objects, but I also can't discount the possibility that some people really do appreciate their craftsmanship.
Because nobody's coming in, at all.
“Nice rapidly-growing foreign service you have there. It would be a shame if we called it a ‘national security risk’ and made you sell it to us for pennies on the dime!”
I am NOT approaching this from any kind of racial stereotyping, but merely from a genetic point of view, but reading the article I had the same thought.

I had previously understood, that native domestic sub-Saharan Africans (i.e. those living on the continent, with clear African based heritage) did not have any Neanderthal DNA, as Neanderthals were further down the evolutionary line of the first emigration out of Africa, and were primarily European based. Therefore those with purely African genetic history would never had interbred with them.

Is this still true, or have I been walking around with a massive misunderstanding here?

As a footnote, We need to still be able to ask these questions without being afraid of the racism response. We are all different, we should embrace that and not let it affect scientific discussion or discovery.

Asymptotic is a different classification than presymptomatic. Both occurred and “Both are difficult to stop. Presymptomatic spread is believed to be far more common than asymptomatic spread.” https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200609/who-clairifies-comm...

Critically, you don’t know the future and have no idea if your presymtomatic or not. It’s only relent for contract tracing not masks.

Now I understand why the only drug prescribed after an open chest surgery in Germany was ibuprofen.
Being used to the real Visual Studio, I've always regarded VS Code as a disposable, low-investment casual tool: it cannot make use of the project and solution files of its big brother, it lacks major features (e.g. the remote debugger), it is also casually engineered (e.g. no proper extension configuration GUI and very loose file caching).

It's just an advanced text editor to edit files (of all types in principle, mostly Python, JavaScript and JSON in practice) and to make Git commits, not an IDE to base important work on; I've never tried to set up any sort of "project" or complex configuration.

As an end user (as opposed to an extension author or "open source" contributor) I'm not particularly worried about lock-in and proprietary features because the cost of not using VS Code any more is limited to switching to a worse editor.
Have you tried the import expression as opposed to the import statement?

E.G. const foo = await import('foo.js');

>Tbh I don't think there is much contest.

Maybe but you should always ask for what, that's the main-point. Sometimes Java or even Javascript/Node is the best stack. Many many point's play into a decision for a web-stack, maybe he wants that "quickly", maybe he works in a C# shop and so on....
Yeah I think my mistake is posting a response to a question about which language to use in a Python thread and not suggesting Python.

I work with Python every day and have for years and it's strengths and weaknesses are readily apparent to me but not to everyone apparently.
We had them too. First the grey ones, later fancy blue ones!

There were also button panels on flat 2x1s. This article seems to have forgotten those.
Is it any different than just having a tax on purchasing foreign companies?

It's the same as a tax on purchasing foreign goods, which is already in place for goods from China in the form of tariffs.

Yes, because New Zealand has such a low transmission rate they can carefully track and isolate new cases. Because there's such a low rate, they don't need masks.

When it's everywhere, like in the US, we don't have that option. Masks are one of few mitigations available to us.
>but comparing a $120K+ Porsche to a $20K average car isn't exactly a fair comparison, even when it comes to headlights

It's not fair but it gives software devs an opportunity to bike-shed on the tech and clutch pearls over other people's behavior (god forbid the poors install $10 Ebay LEDs that aren't even as bright as the halogens they're replacing) so 300+ comments later here we are.
The algorithmic questions used in software engineering interviews are just glorified IQ tests imo.
No, expressly not, except maybe to the (strictly American) capitalist conception that monopolies are a good thing. When you take the original capitalist idea that says monopolies should be avoided because they distort the free market, Free Software is actually very capitalist: it removes the stranglehold that the original manufacturer has on the software after initial sale, thereby ensuring that market power doesn't concentrate in one entity.
Yeah. In 1964 my family returned to the US from the middle east where my dad worked. We brought the family Peugeot car with us. It had yellow antifog headlights, then popular in Europe. Dad couldn't register it in the US until he changed the headlights.

This stuff isn't new.
Has it been removed? I don't see any Haskell in the article.
Why not exactly like a hobo then. Wouldn't that make you an asshole too to make the distinction?

The only difference is your level of steps is just smaller.

MSNBC producer resigns: block 'diversity of thought' and 'amplify fringe voices'
Americans aren’t that divided about masks. I’ve driven around the country quite a bit during this. Most people do not have a problem with masks.

Don’t believe the hype.

The majority of people
Just go along with whatever. Most people are receptive to masks. There’s a tiny vocal minority that are against them.
I just tried, I read waaay slower with one eye closed so yeah I read the lines sequentially but it's kind of unpractical.

Anyway I have that "eye skipping" thing not just during reading but also in average life situations, when talking to someone I keep changing focus: eyes, mouth, nose, hands, cheeks, right eye, left hand, dog on the background, etc.

If I stare at something trying to keep the focus one of two things happen:

- I loose myself in thoughts

- My eyes get tired and I must stop staring
Then your "app" is the adaptor, and the tying still applies.
Well that's completely wrong.

Attractiveness is a trait that signals health, not intelligence/social skill/etc.

That's why we evolved to desire attractive people.

It has nothing to do with being a marker for intelligence.
Many of those Py libs are actually C libs with Python bindings, they can just as easily get JS bindings, and maybe even be compiled to WebAssembly in the process.
This is nothing new in global politics. Just take a one look at Middle East to see how the world has been since the dawn of human civilization. Not saying it is right, a bit of throwback to the days of yonder perhaps, but I'm not surprised or shocked. Although I'm still doubtful it's going to happen.
I think the problem is driven by laziness. People just can't be bothered. But they identify as "hard working" and need to provide some kind of post hoc justification. And the current mess of identity politics provides an oven ready excuse for every situation.
Very interesting reading this and comparing to my wife's experience (5 months since she had covid for less than two weeks - not a terrible case of it, and was up and about towards the end of the 2 weeks even heading out for walks. Very quickly after that she went down hill and been terribly ill ever since).

Many of the symptoms they described match her journey. Her latest diagnosis from a cardiologist is PoTS - but it could well be the bradykinin issues causing very similar symptoms. Interestingly many people on her groups who have been as ill or iller than her, have made almost spontaneous recoveries. I hope she recovers soon.
I too was surprised that the HN crowd supported Trump’s and Microsoft’s actions so much. The people here are fairly intelligent and tend to have a good education. We are no stranger to history. We know that “national security risk” has been used to justify terrifying programs like PRISM and the Patriot Act.

And despite having this in mind, so many folks here just openly supported what is effectively a hostile and coercive takeover of a foreign corporation.

If some of the most educated people in this country can fall victim to populist xenophobia then I don’t have much hope for us overall.
Yup. Just use hooks.
What do you mean? Because 0.4% of British people have this gene?
It’s winter here now.
It’s not true that a ‘true fever’ will keep temperature high. On night shifts when I am called to patients that are febrile (using more sensitive tympanic or sublingual thermometers) I often ask them to check again in half an hour to kick it down the road (at which time they are generally non-febrile) provided they have a known cause and are on adequate treatment. Although the Pathogenesis of hyperthermia in this instance is usually from a slightly different cause (ie bacterial rather than viral)

How to Hire the Best Developers (Just Like Google, Pinterest, and Facebook)
What's the average population density in NZ vs all those other places? Anecdotally I'd say a small fraction.
Not really. We know private data is being weaponised, it’s just that we as a society have turned a blind eye to it when it’s domestic companies doing it. Right or wrong, possibly because we believe in the checks and balances here. When it comes to China, partly because of prejudice I guess, but also because of the evidence. There you get thrown into forced labour when electronic surveillance indicates you should be.

We are not quite that bad here. (Yet, I guess, if we don’t turn the tide.)
How long have you been using this?

My intuition says this is one of those tradeoffs that is fast and easy in the short run, but over time becomes technical debt. I haven't used these over the long term, though.
testing is 70% accurate.
incubation period is long.

as such, visitors should:
1. take a test when they land
2. quarantine
3. take another test

that's how some countries have approached this "test at the airport" strategy.

basically provide negative results over a set period of quarantine, as i read it.
Like I said, there are some cases where using JSON fields makes sense. Good examples would be cases where you wish to retain the structure of the data, but don't have control over it. Sounds like you're describing a case like that.

If it were 65% uranium, the mine itself would be a massive nuclear reactor. (A situation that did happen elsewhere in prehistory.) It would heat up and into a red-hot cauldron. 65% is the richness of the ore not the percentage of uranium in the rock overall.
That was exactly what I was hoping this to be.
I don't think this is a fair assessment.

This post is about two plugins (`LiveShare` and `Remote`), both by Microsoft, not being open source. None of these plugins are even mentioned on Microsoft's Visual Studio Code homepage [0]. At least LiveShare is marketed as a separate tool for which a Visual Studio Code plugin exists (as well as a Visual Studio plugin).

That's the best situation to be in, but people certainly often buy stuff just because they think it will benefit them in some way.

It's worthwhile to think about the sheer marketability of a product beyond its strict usefulness. Some things are easier to sell regardless of the actual functionality.

Storing arbitrarily complex Boolean queries (think Elasticsearch's query syntqx). While this could be done in SQL tables, there are no gains with referential intregity and while there would be some in consistency, I don't think they're worth it.
There are 2 versions of "China as a threat". One is against the American people (ha!). The other very much more serious one is a bunch if billionaires called Fa Loon Gong that literally send mail (and electronic ads) to me every single week in America trying to get us to conquer China so Fa Loon Gong can reinstall their family as little emperors. FLG are major political donors so their lies get parroted by politicians.

I am interested in what pain you had beside OpenSSL; I've been exclusively a Windows user for the past few years, and other than it and Postgres, I've had no desire to install WSL.
I don’t see this website claiming anything bold or misleading, the intro paragraph is very modest, and there is a HN commenter who already feels its helpful. And you don’t go around naming your domain opendyslexiafontbutforonlysomedyslexics.org

I don’t see the misleading part tbh.
MS got gov money to buy Skype, it’s sort of an open secret if you follow the money. The web wasn’t as woke then though and didn’t connect the dots.
I too had this opinion of it from starting to read a (now out-of-date) book on Swift and Cocoa. It seemed some of the decisions eg. no fall-through for switch statements were done to reduce the possibility of bugs but just made it more irritating. I don't know if the language has changed in this regard though.

I always thought C# was the meeting place between Visual Basic and C++, where it was familiar enough to both language users to migrate, although occasionally different enough to cause problems (eg. generics vs templates). I don't know what Swift is "related to" in this regard - any ideas?

Of course, my lack of knowledge about Swift may show me up here so I am happy to be corrected and educated. This was merely an observation.

The Swift discussion in the article is very good and logically laid out.
Please file bugs for linux/arm! ARM themselves are in the middle of getting it promoted to Tier 1.
I can't think of any good solution for this. The only way to get what you believe is a fair salary is by negotiating that directly with your employer or switching to another job that pays better.

Unless you are an executive, don't expect someone to give you huge salary increase for your performance. At best, even when your manager is very satisfied about you, (s)he is limited to the percentage range that is defined by HR for salary increase. Even if you get better title, the salary increase is still limited.
Wow, that is remarkable.
I consider myself fairly hygenic and don't think I have any diseases, and don't really think we should be concerned about clouds of particulate spittle - so what difference is a little quantity?

If this is a national security risk, having Microsoft purchase it is a terrible idea. Will Microsoft install this app next to Xbox Live and Candy Crush on your start menus? Is it going to end up in your startup-apps, launching every time you load your PC, added back to your startup-apps after every update regardless of how many times you remove it from the list?

i2 FAST | UK | Ruby on Rails developer | Full-time | REMOTE | https://www.i2fast.com/

i2 FAST is a new food testing laboratory, launched in 2019, that serves the food and allied industries.

We are in the process of creating a modern LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) platform to help run our analytical laboratories and provide the interface for our clients to analyse their results, book in their samples, and an ever-expanding list of functionality.

We aim to be the best Food testing business and provide the most innovative web platform for our clients to use.

At the moment, the development team is only tiny. We are looking for people to become core members of the development team. Your role will be critical in helping drive the product forward.

We are looking for people who have had a few years of Rails experience or experienced polygots who know some Ruby. From senior to mid-level developers.

Currently, the LIMS system runs the food laboratory at i2 FAST. Still, we need to develop it further, so it runs the whole i2 Analytical business, which is a much bigger sister company. Achieving this will require extensive development. We are only at the start of this journey.

The position will be primarily a remote role, but there will be occasions when the whole team gets together.

It will be quite a varied role as there will be many different types of projects to work on. Eventually, we will be creating mobile applications to support our customers out in the field (literally a field - they will record which soil samples they take). There will be opportunities to choose what kind of projects interest you. If you are interested in dealing with management and other laboratory staff to gather product requirements, then you could do that too.

Technologies we use:

Back-end: Ruby on Rails, Que Active Job, Heroku, Postgres, Dry-rb gems

Front-end: a mixure of Rails views (erb/haml) and React

Please email me at chris.richards@i2fast.com if you're interested!
If you make me chose right now between online and print, I need to think which of those suits me better, will I read on my phone? Would I rather have the physical thing and have some rest time from the screens?

If there’s an easy to pick offer bundling the two, I’d rather pay the extra to keep the choice open, that is, to choose later.
