Part of that pressure comes from the lack of funding though. When you have to fight against 100 other applications for a grant showing you have a recent track record of well-cited papers helps you stand out.

If researchers had steadier access to funding there would be less pressure to constantly publish 'breakthroughs' to secure next years funding.
If you unblind patients, that will change their behavior and alter your results. If they told her she had the vaccine, she'd be more likely to go out and take risks. Conversely, if they told her she had placebo, she'd probably stay in and take less risks. Overall, this would lead to a dramatic reduction in the power to observe an actual protective effect, as vaccinated would be riskier and unvaccinated would behave safer.

Hang in there, she is doing a good service, I hope you are both well!

I have to admit that Chess is one of those games that I am always hoping to learn to play well and am always reminded of my dumbness every time I try it.
I love the idea of a huge monolith program that you "live in", although it's contradictory to the popular philosophy "do one thing and do it well". A program that one live in is a perfect example of software as a manifest, in this case a manifest of one's personal digital lifestyle. I hope there's more people doing this, but in a more personal way, however the time and mind commitment required is huge.
I guess it's not surprising that some new backend Atlassian Authentication service is causing the issue? The small and nimble trello team is long gone. Sigh.
They might have been waiting for waters to calm down. 3 years is not that much time to wait, for objects of this rarity. In fact, they might have planned to keep them for longer but for covid19 forcing their hand (the black economy must be currently struggling in the same way as the regular one, of course).
I read today, they’re saying between this and the Pfizer vaccine. They’ll be 40 million doses available this year. Enough for 20 million people. Because we only have a month and a half left of this year, when were these vaccines going to come online? And where? Obviously it’ll go to at risk people, but when exactly will it start to roll out if it’s already Nov 15th?

> However the reason these types of articles appear in the internet is because the linux desktop needs more market share

Then Linux Desktop people should actually try to address the reasons people say they are staying on Windows/MacOS. I have been watching this show now for 20 years and very little has changed. Linux Desktop evangelists keep telling people they should use Linux Desktop, and keep get told by potential users why they aren't using Linux Desktop, then they ignore it. Linux Desktop evangelists have tied Linux to their identity in such a way that they interpret any criticism as a personal attack and defend themselves with the same tired old stock arguments. These types of articles appeal to the Linux Desktop evangelist because they soothe them.

Conflict of interest: I'm happily using Pulsar, I come from an extensive Kafka system, and would like to see Pulsar win this entire space personally.

I see some differences, instead of Pulsar functions RedPanda has gone the extra step of using WASM, suspect the Pulsar community will end up going this direction as the whole community begins this push forward.

Got rid of Zookeeper, I've never truly understood the hatred toward Zookeeper aside from the viewpoint of it being one more external dependency the project requires.

Compatible Kafka API, this is a smart business choice to grab up any business using Kafka that is unhappy with the operational costs of Kafka and want to move off. Pulsar has a connector for Kafka which lets a business leave their existing work entirely untouched and stream to the new source taking the strangler pattern approach. The problem with compatible API is still the fact you need to touch the running system to point over from Kafka to RedPanda and then it opens the cans of worms on how to handle aborting RedPanda roll out and switching back to Kafka without losing data. Business now needs to modify all their existing code where Kafka is producing to also now write to RedPanda.

The other option I see is just the same which is RedPanda has a connector to Kafka and only streams off the existing Kafka which kind of makes the API compatible IMO pointless aside from marketing & sales standpoint with customers.

Improved the performance of a rendering system from 10000 objects per second to 100000.

Super vague, means basically nothing. Maybe it should be written with a bit more detail about what kind of rendering system this is. Still I would be interested, and in the interview I would ask them to explain the system and what they did. However, if it was something stupid (the original code was just super bad) then they would look dumb for bringing it up. Basically, if you put something like this in your CV, it should be something you're proud of for a good reason, not a result of trying to think of anything where you can reduce the impact of your work to a number.

The impact of most work cannot be reduced to a number, so it's perfectly fine to not have any "measurable successes" like that in your CV. In my experience, 75% of people don't, and 75% of people who do have stupid ones that just make them look worse (ie they read online resume-writing advice and put in something like the example this discussion is about). So there is no point in actively trying to think of something like that to put in your CV. If you have something, put it in, if not, that's fine. There's a pretty good way to decide whether to include it: does imagining your interviewer reading it make you feel proud or embarrassed?

But what if you implemented the same rendering system from scratch? If you put in a number, it will mean basically nothing. You can just describe what you built. You don't need to reduce your work to a number. This is simply incorrect advice in the linked blog post. The people hiring you are not judging you based on numbers which claim you contributed to the business in a measureble way. This is simply not true. Ideas like this are usually pushed by people who are not even in SD and are instead self-proclaimed "experts" in the field of "finding jobs" or whatever and are painting all industries with the same brush.

For the purposes of intrusion detection, even metadata about an encrypted connection can be helpful. You get the (potentially unencrypted) metadata about the connection at the beginning of it, but also a host of other metadata such as time of connections, amount of data transfer, volume/frequency of connections, etc. So even without knowing the contents, you can pick up on anomalous and suspicious activity on your network. You also get information such as the IP addresses of the endpoints and potentially hostname, which gets sent in cleartext during the SSL handshake so a server with virtual hosts and potentially multiple websites know which one is being requested and knows which certificate is appropriate to use.

For traffic inspection purposes, you can still monitor the contents of (most) encrypted packets, but have to have your own certificate on the end user's device. This is most common on corporate networks, where a company will either install their own certificate as part of their device management process or rely on third party apps like Bluecoat[1] to do that.

Once they've added their own certificate to your device's trust store, that can be used to decrypt and re-encrypt traffic in transit, without any overt indications to end users that it's being done (although you can sometimes detect if this is being done). There are ways to guard against this, such as certificate pinning[2], but that's up to each individual service setting up rather than something the end-user can do themselves.

In both cases, enterprise networks are generally one of the bigger users of such software. There are open source IDS's you can use on your home network, which won't require 100Gbps. But 100Gbps is easily achievable on an office network, particularly as you start to scale to multiple offices (and if you include intranet traffic, and not just processing outbound/external traffic).

How to Recognize a Pyramid Scheme vs. MLM
Shrimp is my contribution to the list of gout triggers.
People may not play the scoundrel much, but I see plenty of people playing the ronin, the soldier of fortune. E.g., the contract programmer on a 6-month gig where they know the project is fucked, but as long as the check clears, it's not their problem. The sysadmin who doesn't much care what's on the servers. Plenty of others, for sure.
Apple has many users outside SV. Here in Canada I see people using Macs a lot.

I've often wondered if happiness is something akin to grasping sand, that the harder we pursue it the more elusive it becomes and that rather we happen upon it as we try for things that are meaningful or even just being content with what is already.
> We're in 2020 nobody here cares about what happened 100 years ago

correction: you don't care about what happened 100 years ago. You don't care because it doesn't affect you. 100 years ago isn't very long ago at all, and the economic consequences can still effect people. The difference for people who's grandparents or great grandparents were able to work normally and provide for their children and the people who's grandparents or great grandparents who were slaves.
Well... there's a lot of hoofed animals out there.

- 3 million annual cases of bronchitis in the US with practically identical symptoms.

- 45 million annual cases of the flu in the US and yeah, some people get those symptoms too.

- Common cold, pneumonia, whooping cough, strep, mono.

There's a whole host of upper respiratory tract infections [1] that can and frequently do present this way. We've been getting these exact symptoms practically forever.

Given the sensitivity of the topic right now the least we can do is get data before adding to the discourse. It's hard to take panic back. Given you can get a PCR test with same-day results, it would be nice if OP could wait 24 hours to confirm :)

I got super sick back in February, basically the same exact symptoms OP posted, and a cough that lasted 6 weeks. Took an antibody test a few months later. I tested negative.

> Fish farming, especially for valuable species, still has a huge carbon footprint, requires a non trivial amount of agricultural land, and often uses wild-caught fish to feed the farm. So we're back to square one.

Isn't most of that only true for carnivorous or omnivorous fish? I knew there were problems with finding small fish to feed the bigger fish, but I was under the impression that herbivores and filter feeders could be raised sustainably. I.e. farming tuna would be extremely difficult and costly to the environment, but you can farm things like tilapia and catfish fairly sustainably.

They aren't fish that a lot of people are excited to eat, unfortunately.

Pfizer chose not to participate in operation warp speed because they thought filling out the required federal paperwork would slow them down.

It had nothing to do with any perceived corruption.
So I am always curious, are there any laws that makes it mandatory to expose a data dump whenever you come across one or it depends on the goodness of their heart to report it? I guess even if there is a law like that, it would be hard to enforce.

I like to compare endeavors to athletics. People have natural talent that, by itself, will take you so far. People with less natural talent can work hard and supersede people with superior natural talent that don't work hard.

To be the top of the top, you must have natural talent and nurture and bolster that with hard work. The common denominator of all the exceptional people is hard work.
Absolutely.

If you use transactions, we don't support it yet. We are in active development here.

Notice that folks love speed but the operational simplicity of having one binary/fault domain makes a lot of our enterprise users use the tech.

Last is if you like the product direction which is to my knowledge fundamentally different from the other engines out there. WASM in particular solves around 60% of all streaming work we see in the wild. It is effectively good at one shot transformations (gdpr, simple enriching, simple connection to downstream system like elastic, etc) as well as tiered storage.

Think the idea was to build something as easy as nginx - apt-get install redpanda and et voila

I hope to continue to focus on the developer experience.

You appear to be quoting from a different article. Here's the relevant bit from the BBC article:

>The trial involved 30,000 people in the US with half being given two doses of the vaccine, four weeks apart. The rest had dummy injections.

>The analysis was based on the first 95 to develop Covid-19 symptoms.
$38,000 isn’t much in the grand scheme. You’ll survive, you can’t be afraid to fail. Take what you have learned from this and grow from it.
Yes. Even with the latest buggy and ugly Big Sur update, there’s still nothing better than macOS.
I'm not sure if it's exactly the same thing, but I've heard the phrase, "From the perspective of light, everything happens at once".

It's a bit unclear to me how light or a photon could have a perspective, but I guess it's not really relevant? This kind of thing is part of why I haven't taken a deeper dive into physics. The metaphors and allegories always break down if you look at them too hard, you really need to wade into the underlying math to get a real understanding I think.
Ah, makes sense. When people say 'sugar' they often refer to the different kinds of saccharides, not necessarily sucrose.

Key word being "mostly" in that quote. If you want to hear his description regarding DNA vaccines, just read the next paragraph of the article - quoted below:

“The DNA [in DNA vaccines] does not integrate into the cell nucleus so this isn’t genetic modification - if the cells divide they will only include your natural DNA. But this approach is incredibly promising for COVID because it can be scaled up very quickly, and is very versatile - it is easy to synthetically produce DNA sequences that match the required bits of viral genetic code.”
You raise a point that strikes me as odd, but perhaps I am not up to date on what is considered FOSS nowadays.

In what way will this lead to `truly` FOSS? Sure, the URL shortener project is open-source, but neither Github Pages nor Github Issues are free-as-in-libre open-source projects. What is being show-cased here is a neat idea, but ultimately the dependency on Github's Pages and Issues will make it difficult to port to other systems, thus you are not really free to do with as you please.

So, while the URL shortener program itself is FOSS with all the right licenses, doesn't the direction you are proposing lead to more capture by these non-free platforms, as the value they offer for free-as-in-beer becomes more and more difficult to ignore?
Haha. Too good.
I consider myself very left, but am also strongly persuaded by David Graeber's bullshit jobs.

I think you will also enjoy "Rentier Capitalism: Who Owns the Economy, and Who Pays for It?".

It helped me understand some of the "unfairness" I perceived but could not quantity in words. The premise is that western economies are now set up for those who can extract rents. The eye opener is just how many things can be considered rent seeking, from winning contracts to exploiting mineral leases.

That doesn't matter. The total signature is still different from factory default, so if any change is made to any other file it will be different and need to be updated :)

If the comorbidity is obesity, which in most cases results from lifestyle choices, it's hardly fair for them to ask others to make sacrifices to protect them from the consequences of their own lifestyle choices.
The rollout of these will likely be fast-tracked by the FDA for an emergency use authorization and rolled out to healthcare providers first. How long, who knows – the fact that this vaccine doesn't require cryogenic cooling like Pfizer's does may be an accelerator.
“ More than 30,000 participants at 100 clinical research sites in the United States are participating in the study, which launched on July 27, 2020, after results from earlier stage clinical testing indicated that the vaccine candidate is well-tolerated and immunogenic.”

I spent over $2000 on an online-only ARPG named Marvel Heroes. The game creator lost the license to use Marvel characters and shut down rather abruptly.

If there is no practical distinction in ownership and licensing the right to play the game, should Marvel be forced to renew the license with Gazillion. Should Gazillion then stay in business to provide me with something I own indefinitely? Or should they be forced to provide me with the codebase so I can spin up my private server?

I'm not trying to be glib. I'm honestly curious as to how far your rights should go.
