It may not ask you to take it seriously, but it says "now you're in a period based on reality you know and a specific culture". The sci-fi part is pretty disconnected from the history part.

Compare that to time travel in dystopian future in the last bioshock where you have some known elements but you also project fire from your hands to fight a mecha-lincoln. That establishes a parallel universe where anything goes and it doesn't matter what you borrow into the story.
A Transformational Journey with Scaler Academy
We are humbled by the review of our Scaler Ahrarul Haque,
“Today, I am an SDE at Amazon, and as someone who belongs to the kind of background I do, it is a very proud feeling for everyone in the family. And Scaler has had a big role to play in that." Check out his complete journey.
To add to that an Asian merchant would need to know a very large number of languages to go that far on land. The African merchants traveling by ship need to know their home language and whatever language is spoken where they trade. If you stop at a port along the way you aren't there to trade your goods, just a few supplies: possibly food, or alcohol and prostitutes (note that I always use the oxford comma!) which can be done with simple gestures. When you cross land you travel through too many villages to risk not knowing them all (or having a guide who does).

The cost of land travel as well means that almost nothing is going to be traded long distances. Any merchant from Asia is guaranteed to be talking directly to the powerful king - if there isn't a powerful king (which England was just starting to get) there isn't enough wealth to make anything worth bringing that far.

This does leave the curiosity. The person who doesn't fit in back home: so he travels far and lives as an exotic figure, moving around often enough before the locals figure out why he isn't welcome back home.
I know it's unpopular to suggest paying for things on the Internet, but YouTube Premium is worth the investment if you're allergic to ads. It removes ads on mobile and Chromecast too (where ad blocking is harder to set up otherwise) and allows you to play videos in the background on mobile (a feature that I use constantly). If you're a heavy YT user like me it's really not that hard to justify the expense.
I want to continue building my social collaborative flashcard platform. I spent my entire summer building out the basic functionality and very low level sharing capabilities.

I still dream of a platform where whenever I want to pick up a new subject/book/idea/ideology/[thing] I can search for a flashcard deck where I can continuously learn and add new flashcards for other people to use.
I think the precise criticism is that it was already puritanized. I don't think the argument was thay they set out to make mysogynist nazi propaganda, but that the cliche reorganizing machine that is a AAA gamehouse looked around at society, gears whirled, and the resulting thing that would sell the best that came flying out was a combination of white supremacist mythology, mockery of christianity, and the devaluation of femininity. Its not a critique of the game so much as it is of the society that produced it.

Wondering how they determine which need a booster and which don't. Is this based on phase one data or more of an educated guess?
I am not fan of ligatures because of the (although small) mental gymnastics that have to happen when reading code. It's unnecessary.
What I don’t find comforting is the fact that companies have not had approval (or even applied) for approval for a mRNA based vaccine until now. Even though they’ve had many years to do so.

I know nothing about vaccines or medicine really, but I just find it hard to believe that it’s just luck that we’re all going to be taking one in under a year when there hasn’t been much push for approval before this ?

Hopefully we’re not going to be pressured to be inoculated with something, anything that works, because of desperation and because managing the situation in an adult way was too hard for most world leaders.

As others have said, if you’re not in a high risk group, maybe some skepticism is warranted?
Without a stepper to hold the torque all the time, ballscrews will creep. The friction is too low.

I never expected this sudden resurgence in users and I hope they continue to do well. I owe Garry’s Mod and Roblox a debt for getting me excited about Lua scripting, which is some of the earliest programming I did.

I hope these games or similar games stick around and continue to get kids excited about slinging bits and the miracle of being able to create something using just your computer.
Its likely, that, like the flu jab, those most at risk will get it first. The vast majority of diligent users here will not be beta testers.

Depending on how it works that is. It might be more effective to jab those most likely to transmit the disease first. (E.g. medical workers, children before Christmas meeting the family) or it might be better to jab those most at risk first.

Ahhhhh I though it was some sort of btrfs specific thing -- didn't recognize it as the 'md' in 'mdadm' (I've only dealt with software RAID before).

This is actually pretty interesting because one of the 'features' of the hosting provider I'm using is that they will software RAID your drives by default. Maybe btrfs is a better choice in that kind of environment if I don't have to undo the software raid on every machine and btrfs will interop well without too much abstraction.
> when a non-male or non-white protagonist is the only option

There’s a difference between a racist or sexist reaction (anger about a character’s race or sex) and anger that the studio picked the character’s race or sex as a nod to their own identity politics (or perhaps kowtowing to the broader identity politics that are so fashionable these days). It’s the same difference between racism and equality. It’s hard to tell from your comment whether you object to the racist reaction or the egalitarian reaction or both, but at least in my opinion the racist reaction is very uncommon.

> Just saying, in my experience, "don't care about it" is literally identical to "marginalize everyone but me", as that's our history.

That’s not our history though; our history was literally “marginalize blacks, women, native americans, italians, irish, eastern europeans, asians, etc”. We have made remarkable progress toward equality, and that’s due to egalitarianism—teaching people that superficial characteristics oughtn’t matter—not merely a different identity hierarchy. “Not caring about it” is precisely the key innovation and the catalyst for so much progress.
> Those who are unaware there just was no video app when the phone first came out as crazy as that sounds.

Considering it was a poor quality 2 megapixel sensor with fixed focus up until the iPhone 3GS, you weren’t missing much by not having video. Like to put it in perspective, even the photos it took were utterly horrid in comparison to today. But we also need to keep perspective, in 2007-2009 no phone I can think of had a better camera, let alone a mainstream one.
If I’m not mistaken Forensic Architecture have a lot of connections to the art world (and architecture of course, it’s in the name of the project). Some of them teach at art schools (Goldsmiths etc.), they were nominated for the Turner Prize. I don’t know if it shows a shifting definition of what art is, but it’s interesting that this is the context that (in part) enables them to do their work. It also helps to explain the attention to visual presentation.
> It only seems to be rich white people in the US seem to care about it

I do think there is a kernel of truth to what you're saying, but I don't think it's right to dismiss entirely the fact that representation IS important.

Historically, "rich white people" have been in control of the media, so it's great to see this group becoming more self aware. Sure, from time to time there is some overcorrection, but eventually things will settle down and the world will be better for it. We should let people with compelling stories tell their stories! Now that streaming is the norm, there's room for everyone, now that we're not limited to only the stories which are marketable for primetime.

Speaking from my own experience, I have been so so happy to see so much positive representation of LGBTQ characters in mainstream television / movies lately. As a kid, I had no positive examples of LGBTQ adults in my life, so I had no choice but to struggle by myself. Whether we like it or not, many children learn about the world through television.

It would be difficult to express in words how deeply moved I was to learn that Disney Channel aired a children's show ("Andi Mack", [1]) with a gay main character, whose relationship with another male character was a major plotline. Shows like this give LGBTQ kids characters they can relate to, and gives non-LGBTQ kids a positive story about someone who is different from them. That children today might not need to deal with the same pain and isolation that I felt as a kid makes me so incredibly happy.

“Other game assets such as art, maps, music, and sound are not included in the open source release.“

Doom didn’t release the maps when they went open source, but the graphics/music assets here seem like the most interesting part. Are they for sale somewhere?

It is a nice starting place if you don't know where to look in the docs to begin.
The problem is more with the positioning of the game. They want the "Historic" label, but in reality it's Fantasy. Modern fantasy is a fertile ground for fun, diverse and "history inspired" stories. But trying to rewrite history with the excuse of "but it's fiction" is wrong, and I agree with the author, irresponsible and dangerous. But I guess the marketing is too tempting, AC:Valhalla should instead be positioned as Skyrim, not as a "moderately historical accurate game with more diversity".
I have to agree with my sibling commenter -- you are taking a pretty strange and rather aggressive stance on this, and throwing out some ad-hominems within that.

Multi-select: Useful if I want to do a find-replace, but only within certain select results for the "find" part. If I know where they are I can use Cmd+D or multi-select to just find those quick rather than crafting a nice regex find-replace query with "only in selection" etc.

Ligatures: It's SUBJECTIVE. I dunno why you're throwing out ad hominems like "only for frontend developers who like <things I think are bad>". I am looking at code for 8-12 hours a day. If ligatures make the code nice to look at, why the heck do you care what my code looks like? My ligatures aren't being pushed into your environment.

This is like judging someone as "lesser" than you because they like a different mouse because it's comfortable for them...
ah I did mix this up -- thanks for pointing that out
>> If an error is detected - a mismatch (e.g. a G paired with a T) - a trio of proteins (MutL, MutS, MutH) spring into action.

One additional thing should be covered in biology teaching -- Not just the process that magically "happens", but how it ends up happening. The said proteins have no free will to just spring into action. I recall being taught during high school about mitosis and meiosis, how this spindle apparatus forms, DNA strands split, etc. How do I connect what happens to the laws of Physics? I understand that I still cannot explain gravity, or why a ball falls to the floor, but biology teaching seems to leave a lot more out, and without saying so.

Nice website but the problem is that it shows the fonts at 18px size when most people use their editors at 11 or 10px sizes. Many fonts look radically different at such small sizes.
I guess other studies are perfect and survived this level of scrutiny.

Especially the "recovery" one, praised by everybody where the inclusion criteria was: "having flu like symptoms", without PCR. This is true science indeed.

1. Why is this a major flaw?

2. As stated by the title.

Remark: (Well conducted) RCTs introduce way too much variance.

As a statistician I care about a good trade-off between bias and variance.

OTOH, you don't need RCTs when you measure a physical property of a system.

3-6,8. Valid points. Especially as of publication date.

As of today, they updated the study with 3000+ patients.

7. This is not ethical.

9. Object of the study: measure viral load. After the cytokine storm, you don't care much about the virus.

10. We should ask DR directly about it, this is grave.

11-13. Irrelevant. They did PCRs to everyone, the important measure is the CT.

14. This is not good indeed.

15. PCR tests are reliable.

16. Why is it a flaw?

17-18. They published a lot of other papers on their work, and updated the early study.

2020 Wheeler Lecture: The Future of Microprocessors
Technically the Chinese Wuhan Institute was first to recommended hydroxychloroquine as a possible solution (among at least one other drug) months before this guy and the politicians ever published anything about it. There was also a small town US doctor who claimed anecdotal success among his hundreds of clients who was highly influential very early on. And tons of other speculative ‘experts’ talking about it on YouTube.

Then months later as COVID got really bad there was multiple bad science on both sides of the argument just muddied the water in an extreme event the entire population has a never experienced before in their lives. Causing mass desperation and flailing about.

I previously published a timeline on HN earlier that showed the UK also blocked exports of the drug at least a full month before the Trump brigades and bad papers came out. And other examples of authoritative institutions giving off signals and rumours which could easily be taken advantage of by people desperate to save family members lives. It was also listed as safe in small doses as by WHO so people were willing to take the risk before the full science was out.

I also remember the general consensus became that it was only useful as a prophylactic not a treatment after the fact when the infection was serious, so it was even harder to pinpoint good evidence when the doctors were giving it out to thousands and only a tiny amount got serious infections. Then the uselessness is even easier to hide with an easy exit argument.

It seems strange to me to target this one individual among a large group. Maybe he was the first to give it academic credibility with an actual paper?
I can't imagine why anyone would do this either. I suppose one possibility is that some software in their web stack is converting fi to an explicit ﬁ ligature and the monospaced font chosen by the web page doesn't support it so the browser does a substitution. When I spot another one I'll have to dig more deeply.

That doesn't solve the problem completely, though, as truly fixing it requires review time with the existing team. It's still unpaid labor, but now it involves code review and collaboration.

I think we still need people paying open source contributors.
Totally agree with this post. I use WSL1 quite a bit, and it brings many of the things I love about working on the mac to Windows. I do hope MS does continue to support it as promised.
This is quite literally nothing but a website letting you preview how fonts look. What's "r/unixporn" about that? What a bunch of condescending baloney.
That sexuality of a character in a game is even known is problematic; this implies the sexuality is being acted on. I wish developers would stop exploiting the four Fs to induce us to buy, and sadly my minimal consumption of video games is only a splash against the tide.
Whenever I come across a list like this I hope to find some useful new proportional coding typeface. Nope, not this time either, 100% monospaced. I guess I’ll stick with Input Sans.
Personally, however, I like to see exactly what it is I am typing, exactly which symbols are being used. Ligatures distort that.

I feel the same way.

I do think I would enjoy programming in a language that used a slightly more extended set of real characters, as long as we had solid editor and font support so typing and viewing them wasn’t going to be an issue for anyone. For example, I’d like to finally have ≠, ≤ and ≥ lining up neatly with =, < and > in my code! I could imagine a few other carefully chosen and easily recognisable symbols, such as ∈ and true arrows, being helpful for readability as well.

But the world speaks in Unicode these days, so assuming there was adequate tool and font support, I think writing these characters for real would be much better than relying on ligatures. Even where ligatures are supported, they tend to use awkwardly wide glyphs to replace multi-character combinations so they don’t break alignment in a monospace font, and sometimes the fonts with programming ligatures seem to join certain combinations in bizarre ways just because they can, even when there’s no apparent need for it.
We now know that Covid is not nearly as deadly as was first perceived, and that a relatively narrow band of the population is vulnerable to its worst effects.

It's foolish to act as though this is worse than it is.

covid can do/does plenty of nasty things to "non vulnerable" people besides kill them
Can someone give a quick TLDR what are the main differences to Rust?

EDIT: Or rather, what are Vale's selling points to someone using Rust?
Not necessarily and it often depends where you work. Many (most even) are in support roles like maintenance, etc.

E.g., I’ve previously worked for an automotive manufacturer on controls software. I was attached to the maintenance team. The design engineers were a subset of the entire engineers population. In other places I’ve worked, R&D was mainly done by scientists and physicists, not by engineers who served to support the R&D effort
I'm not aware of any "theory" nor "conspiracy" or whatever.

> Unraid is the only one that allows you to freely add/remove drives.

I think technically you can do something similar to Synology's Hybrid RAID[1] with ZFS, using partitions and creating mirror VDEVs from the partitions.

But I haven't gone through all the details so could be there are some risks I overlooked and in any case you'd have to manage it from the command line so would be a bit tedious. But I did set up a proof of concept in a VM.

>It's their life, not yours

It's a lot of people's lives, not just theirs. Like with most vaccines, there'll be a fraction of the population who cannot safely get vaccinated. We need to think of this from a public health perspective: more unvaccinated people in spreading-prone situations means more risk to others (including those beyond the immediate situation) and more burden on health systems.

Some HN users love to look down on front-end development as if it's some sub-par category of developers, for some reason.

Let's do the same kind of pretentious generalization - I'd wager they are the same who think any language of higher level of abstraction than than C++ is an utter waste of time.
