It would mean all the work to prevent a vaccine would be undone by not disseminating the vaccine to the public. The end results are the metrics of success.
Indeed, my own family is exactly what you described here. They are affluent wealthy and nice public-facing people.

In private they hate the 'poors, blacks, queers', et al.

Boggled my mind reading gp's comment, as in my experience it's been the reverse- I had to distance myself from the wealthy part of my own family because 'the poors' have always been better people in general: more forgiving, understanding, compassionate.
I only very recently picked up chess and spend most of my time playing against the computer. lichess's computer plays really, really weird at low levels, not human-like at all. Chess.com's computer plays a bit more human-like, at least up to 1100, which is the computer level I'm currently playing against, but still not like a real human.

I would compare it as:
lichess - best move, best move, best move, completely random move that does absolutely nothing
chess.com - best move, good move, best move, blunder that seems patronizing given previous moves

I've only played a handful of games against real people online, but those games weren't anything like either lichess or chess.com's computer players.
Better? Explain

>On Earth, with Newtonian physics, we intuitively think that "now" is shared, so we really can say "I wonder whether someone has scored a goal now," and the answer shouldn't depend on whether you're in a car or not.

That's insightful, and actually it made me realize that it's probably true that nowadays we expect information to be available worldwide effectively instantly, but that obviously wasn't always the case. "Right now" we're having this discussion on Hacker News with people from around the world, but merely a few decades ago this type of simultaneity wouldn't have been possible. Nothing of what would could've done locally could've immediately influenced dozens of people around the globe.

This shared "now" is effectively a modern invention.
>I currently have coronavirus...Waiting on test results.

So how do you know for certain? Could be a bunch of other (infectious and non-infectious) health issues too.
No, the virus can kill and cause long term problems to people under 70, at a rate that would be unacceptable for any vaccine.

It could be a last resort solution if we had no hope of an effective vaccine, but it looks like the results are quite promising so far, so no need to go to such extremes.

"get people sick in a controlled manner" is a form of vaccination. Just a particularly dangerous kind, because you are using live viruses instead of non-infectious lookalikes. It is like training soldiers by putting them in real gunfights.
God, I wish that would work for me.

To take your examples in order:

1) system packages: almost always out of date for my needs

2) Binary wheels: I actually haven't investigated this much, maybe it will work (and if it does, I'll buy you a drink if we ever meet in person).

3) Building from source: this kinda proves my point about Python having poor dependency management tools if this is a serious response. In general, this would be much further down the rabbit hole than I want to go.
Giving birth doesn't risk killing others and commuting to work by driving requires a license given the risk of killing others.

If you want to risk your own life in a way that doesn't risk other's, fine by me.

But don't equate that to an activity that also risks the lives of others.

If you want to get natural immunity without risking the lives of others, I could imagine a service where you quarantine at home after intentionally being infected with the disease, but even then, there is the negative externality that a certain percentage of young people will need medical care, resulting in increased risk of spread and reduction of healthcare capacity.

Please don't pretend like you live in a vacuum.
Technology has had an impact on nearly any industry you can think of. As such, there is no shortage of tech work outside of ad tech. Ten years ago I worked on ad tech shit for Amazon, but I quit when I realized that made me a parasite.

I don't work in food delivery, but I'd say getting a pizza from point A to B is a hell of a lot more productive than being a lawyer for the RIAA.
At least some of us don't try to actively make it harder/worse. So that's a plus.
Yeah but sometimes it really is everyone else that is wrong. For example, when most people used to think the world was flat.
Yeah, I was a Gnome user for past years ago along with Fedora. And I share the same Greg K.H feeling about that such big change called Gnome 3 that honestly I was not able to track it at all from UI perspective on a Fedora machine at that time. They together never convinced me for my daily job.
In the other hand, KDE has evolved without that big major difference like Gnome 3 and now with Plasma 5 we have a very polished interface with great performance resulting is a pleasant experience on my daily basis.
Basically now with ArchLinux + KDE on my laptop I have everything that I want as developer: an OS performing and booting at high speed (around 10 secs the whole OS + desktop env) and a great desktop experience.
Such experience that you can not afford it using Windows or "even" Macos.

That's Linux empowering your computer. So that simple.
Congrats! I really love this concept for two reasons.

First I'm always fascinated by smart solutions that make use of existing free (as in beer) infrastructures to provide a service with open-source software. In this way we truly get FOSS.

Second, I really like the idea that the information on where the shortened url redirects to is publicly available. I know that solutions like bitly.com do provide a way to preview the shortend url, but I think this is just more transparent, although admittedly a little bit less obvious.
It makes sense if you're aiming for a faithful transliteration of the original syllables, which is what Nihonshiki does. However, if you want a phonemic transcription that can be read by non-native speakers, then it makes sense to do what Hepburn does and accurately represent the sounds (not the writing) of the language, where the consonant in ち is not the same as the one in た.
Veritasium just had a good video which discusses this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTn6Ewhb27k

It turns out there's some circularity in your definitions of "Move clocks at the exact same speed and acceleration in opposite directions" and "synchronized"; that's basically the definition of "synchronized", which is fine from a certain point of view, but from the point of view of examining the nature of space and time themselves, not adequate.
Oh yeah the twitch scene has really made a massive difference to this generation and to the modern-day level of interest. Viper's stream was what got me into competitive play.
I get a disquiet feeling when I'm in old southern towns like Savanah, I didn't know why at first, until I realized it's because their society is still so segregated.
All who live in silicon Valley of course. You seem to have forgotten that "making world a better place" is a mantra repeated across the entire IT. I presume if Facebook employees actively think that, so can RIAA lawyers
Yes, it's IP blacklists AFAIK.

And for sites with a lot of traffic, you probably don't even need an external subscription, you can deduce the ranges yourself simply by checking for IP addresses that wind up having logged-in users from all over the world in a short time frame.

Pretty easy to do accurately with a short set of heuristics.
Thanks -- I had never considered using webassembly in this way, so I thought it was something different.
I just successfully navigated to that site in Brave. The only problem was that I had to accept the invalid certificate.
Simply having a good migration strategy might be more than enough.

> They are as much a human being as you are and people are capable of change

Totally agree. But these attitudes towards fellow people tend to pair with unproductive behaviours.

Now, there are plenty of exceptions. Highly productive people with abhorrent views. But on average, acidic views tend to go with lower incomes at a population level. (I make no assertion on which way causation flows. And within a city, the relationship breaks down.)
Or...the USA could have followed the likes of Taiwan et al and rolled out exemplar non-pharmaceutical interventions early and thoroughly, resulting in no more than a handful of deaths.

Even at this point it'll take months and months to roll it out to the population at large, over which time 10s of thousands more will most likely die.
A simple cookie token or session token is all what it needed for a quick fix
I have a Gemini PDA, and it's not bad. I could wish for an X server to run Emacs against, but it works fine in terminal mode; I could wish for a more comfortable Linux-on-metal experience, but Termux and Firefox on Android are easily good enough. The keyboard is excellent.

Too bad it came along a decade after I ceased to really need the kind of road-warrior sysadmin capability that such a device excels at providing. I'm still glad to have it.

When all you really need is an 8oz glass of tart cherry juice per day [0]. If you have "trigger" foods [1], then those still need to be avoided, but the cherry juice will allow you to enjoy a normal, non-excessive diet of pretty much everything else.

[0] Sweet cherry juice works too, but you need a lot more of it, to the point where it would be excessive and unhealthy.

[1] By trigger foods, I mean those that will cause a gout attack regardless of how much is consumed. For me, it's spinach - as little as one leaf will make my toe sore for a couple of days. Most people never learn their trigger foods, so consider yourself lucky if you know yours.

Exactly, I'm not fan of these type of lawyers, but they aren't even close to the same level of damage being done by people who work at places like Facebook.

I'm sure it's the usual case of a large enough salary helps you to forgot what a piece of shit you are.

New Tool Detects Unsafe Security Practices in Android Apps
The new ARM Macs have "secure boot". I don't know how it will work exactly but I assume it's something that stops you from booting a different operating system. If not, I'm sure that's in the pipeline.
You're right, but I'm not really convinced that a vaccine with a few months of safety testing behind it is a substantially larger risk. If I've gotta take a small but nonzero risk either way, I might as well pick the one with prosocial advantages.
Of course there is! The GPD family of Windows devices (Win/Win2/Win Max and Pocket/Pocket 2/Pocket2 Max) have pretty good hardware and somewhat decent linux support (they all have official Ubuntu Mate images), and the GPD MicroPC even has quite a few ports more than a modern ultrabook (ethernet, full size usb, 3.5' jack, even a RS232!). They have price points ranging from 400$ to 1000$, so there's something for everyone as well.

Disclaimer: While I don't work for GPD I'm a very happy owner of a Win 2 that I use for light gaming and game streaming with Stadia and Geforce Now, and I've started using it for "computery tasks" more and more as I just keep that and my iPad Pro in my backpack - not that I leave the house often these days, though...
Super useful! Keep sharing resources like these with the community!
It's a shot across the bow, to achieve a chilling effect. They've achieved a few weeks of downtime, for now, and sent a message to the project that they're being watched. It might well not be the end of hostilities.
There were plenty of people, including communications from the different vaccine teams, saying a 2020 vaccine was possible as far back as this June/July. There were of course plenty of naysayers too, but the people most deeply meshed in this 'space", the actual leading vaccine teams, were bullish from very early on.
Some systems use a CA cert on endpoints and a CA key on the web proxy portion of the IDS, so it's able to intercept and decrypt all traffic that passes through. This isn't as common anymore since it has massive security risks associated with a 'godmode' TLS cert.

But there are still ways to inspect encrypted traffic. TLSv1.2 and lower expose the SNI in the handshake. Even on TLSv1.3 there is plenty of metadata exchanged during the TLS handshake. For example, the JA3 spec [1] is a standardized hash of selected connection parameters such as cipher suites, extensions, curves, etc. It can reveal a decent amount of information about the software initializing the connection, and when compared to a list of known good or known harmful JA3's can flag connections as malicious.

Hi there!

Sure thing. I basically was playing with an RPC framework to make my old company project fast in 2017 see github.com/smfrpc/smf

I wanted to play with dpdk then.

When I started this in 2019 I wanted to use a framework that was battle tested, so seastar.io fit the bill.

There is also a big part of it that I had been professionally programming in c++ for many many years.

Last, this evolved from a prototype on my laptop in miami to company.

I think rust would he am excellent choice as well and I bet we'll write a bunch of rust in the not too distant future.
I think there’s going to be a lot of anti-vaccine agitation about this.

It’s a type of vaccine that has never been approved and deployed past the research phase before, and it’s going to be super easy to wrap “modified RNA vaccine” in scare quotes like I guess I just did there. “It’s genetically modified?!” I can imagine my neighborhood Facebook group blowing up already.

Me? Get it in my veins, I’m disappointed I was not selected for the trial. But I think the political climate may be toxic for this.
Stay strong! Just thought I'd share my experience with you:

Couple days of the cold, followed by a fever and increasing difficulty breathing for 3 days. Just getting up from the couch felt like having just run a marathon and having to 'make' my body breathe. Actually having to force the air into my lungs. To the point where I called the hospital and was told there wasn't anything they could do ATM.

Then, one moment I will never forget. I went to sleep with the biggest worries I've ever had about how the next day would look. If there was even a next day. I woke up at 3:00 AM. And I could just breathe normally. All symptoms were just gone. No fever, nothing. The biggest relieve of my life.

Followed by 3 months of weird pains and discomforts. One of which was a stabbing pain that would travel from my lungs down to my side during the course of 4 days. Something that my SO also experienced.

Also, most of the issues I experienced in the months after the whole ordeal where psychological in nature. I could make myself short of breath by just thinking about it and I would have to go lie down. I also experienced chest pains 4 months after. All of that went away when I started to breath differently. I had been taking very short breath right from my upper chest area. This was actually causing me pain. I learned to breath by expanding my abdomen and after forcefully breathing very slowly like that for 2 days, everything went back to normal. So there's a big tip for anybody reading this. I think it's called diaphragmatic breathing, Google it.

Anyway, good luck to you and anybody else that needs it! When all of this is over and we're back at the bars, first round is on me! <3

As an American I didn’t find it shocking or odd. I took it to just mean “conservative”.
Is this good for AMD?
Sure, if you're allowing ideas to change then yes the very first idea is not important. Using your same logic, you could then also argue that execution doesn't matter because you can always fix mistakes in execution (e.g. Netflix tried spinning off Qwikster which many people thought was a mistake, but Netflix is still super successful today).
Thanks, very informative. I wasn't aware about that one.
+1. For many years I heard strange things from Emacs users about how they wanted to do everything in Emacs. It's just a text editor!

Now I'm one of those strange users. It's not just a text editor.
Sigh, another non-reply.

If this is so blatant as you claim you should be able to tell me who the authority on this massive shift to social democracy in the US is, because this is so market fundamentalistic that I think that you're just making shit up.

it was mostly a joke, since the right-hand rule is itself an arbitrary convention.

I think you are right though; "up" and "down" are defined by applying the right-hand rule to the orbits of the planets around the sun, not their rotation about their own axes. this is why we consider venus to spin "backwards" as opposed to being "upside down". this does lead to an odd conundrum in the case of uranus, whose axial tilt is almost a right angle. which of uranus's poles is north?
“A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.”

Edit: This means that people may know that smoking is bad for them, but they will need to live it for themselves to truly accept it. Most advice my parents gave me was very good, but I did not follow it because I wanted the freedom to make my own choices. Many years later I ended up arriving at the same conclusions they suggested on my own. I ended up wasting time, but I was more comfortable accepting their advice as good.
Your comment reminded me that there is a lot of art and artifacts simply kept in warehouses, and treated mostly as investment assets: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/29/arts/design/one-of-the-wo...

This is still 2020. Are we really flirting with a Planet of the Apes scenario right now?
Reacting to the “Absurd” and Thoughts on Meaning
I bet it’s a distribution of people from all socioeconomic classes. With some just seeing the advertisement for Tulsa and being inspired to move there with this money.

So the highest earners eclipse the tax revenue from the lowest that have less lucrative prospects and it is a win.
It's not a popular observation and it is not a blanket statement but it is age old wisdom, the reality is for most relationships: Men get comfortable and Women get board. If you are a man, strive to not get comfortable that is all you can do.

Apple Responds to Gatekeeper Issue with Upcoming Fixes
I've been full time Linux for about a year now, and prior to that I relied heavily on WSL. I'm very happy. I dual boot Ubuntu and Windows on my main machine (Windows for games), but I haven't booted into Windows for over three months (busy semester is mostly the reason). My laptop is full time Linux and I wouldn't have it any other way.

As a developer, Linux is everything I could want, and I really want desktop Linux to continue to gain traction. While DEs like GNOME (which I use) and KDE look and feel modern and come with some great software out of the box, I still run into issues on occasion. The desktop environment is where Linux begins to fall short in my experience.

Windows and MacOS have the advantage of having a single "DE" to worry about, where as Linux offers a variety which are independently developed. That's awesome, but when I run into a bug once a week, it really sucks. I can fix the problem no issue, but it makes me hesitant to recommend GNOME to a friend to relative.

Granted, this can be because I'm using a 4K display with a new version of GNOME. I haven't used KDE or XFCE recently, so maybe they take care of these a lot better. If they are significantly better, please, let me know. I'd love a good out of the box desktop experience on Linux.
Except, what’s crazy is that they do. I have an ISP-provided Xyzel C1100 modem, and sometimes it does just randomly crash and take about a minute to reload if we’re doing to much. I’d buy a good DSL modem, but it happens just under the threshold where I’d buy a $100 modem to fix it.
I remember feeling the same way about CS in 98' - how silly of me then! You'll be just fine.
Of course it's not really exponential. And even the simplest SIR toy model does not output an exponential solution, except as an aproximation at the start. My point was simply that it took several months between very low numbers at the end of the first lockdown and the decision to put a second albeit lighter lockdown in France and (at least parts of) Italy. So one should not be surprised that the virus was circulating for several months before the problem became really noticeable in february.

> from what I've heard, it is likely that fruit juices and smoothies are not fruits either. If that is correct, the message can get very muddied.

Not really. The original comment in this chain talked about processed foods vs unprocessed. Fruit juices are fairly obviously processed so this rule works for them too.
