Ultimately this is the first run of many. This first shuttle is very much a trial run where they're hoping to identify issues and get things smoother for the second time round. It's not intended for people who are primarily interested in getting their ASIC made for free (where putting in the design time without result is not acceptable). It's for people who are motivated by the concept of open source silicon and are happy to put in their time, potentially with no reward, to help move that concept forward.

Things have been a bit chaotic for the first shuttle, but that's not hugely surprising given the nature of the project. I can't blame them for choosing a random selection process, as they had no real idea who would be submitting designs, what they would be and what level of quality they would be at or if they'd even fill all the slots. Random seems entirely fair for this first, alpha quality level run. Some defined selection process may be appropriate for future runs but you need to see the submissions coming into the first one to work that out.

As for Caraval I think it's been well known this will be required from the beginning, perhaps they could have done a better job in documenting this (it's been extensively discussed on the Slack group, plus mentioned in various talks).

I think you're expecting a matured, tested setup that gives you good documentation where you just submit your finished design without any further interaction with the community. It may well get to that point, but it's not there yet. This is just the beginning and if you're not interested in getting stuck in with pushing the concept forward, just interested in simply using it, you will need to wait a while.

HDpiano - www.hdpiano.com | USA | Remote, but US based | ~20hrs/wk

Thriving piano education website seeks lead (full-stack) developer with (custom) Wordpress, WooCommerce/Subscription, Elasticsearch and related e-commerce experience. A little musical knowledge doesn't hurt either :) We're looking for a self-starter, a confident and decisive leader/delegator with a sharp eye for detail on both front and backend.

We have a lot of exciting projects and new features in the pipeline, and we hope that bringing on a lead developer to work alongside our junior developer, graphics designer, UX designer and video editors (not to mention our content production team) can help bring our big ideas online. In addition to growing/improving our recently redesigned website, some upcoming projects include: exploring AR, new curriculum models, gamification based on user data, app development, extending the reach and capabilities of our automated tutorial rendering software, etc. Plenty of room to grow with the company and explore new (piano-related) frontiers!

For more information on the position, email devon at hdpiano dot com
Thanks!

I'm curious for an actual expert to answer, but when I've heard this question presented they would point out that the risk of long-term side effects from a vaccine must be compared relative to the unknown, long-term side effects of a covid infection and continuing to live in a society that's locked down.
Read this: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2002/06/12/strategy-letter-v/

It should be required reading for anyone working in anything software related, these days :-)

Heck, read all of Joel's blog when you have time.
It's not association to live in the same neighborhood as another person. I very much doubt the seriousness of this question.
> 3) Herd immunity. If some kid has leukimia and cannot get vaccinated, he survives thanks to everyone else being vaccinated. Some 30 year old reactionary being an anti-vaxxer and getting covid and surviving it would be ok if he was not a vector of infection to the most vulnerable in society.

100% true, I was not thinking far enough on this.
I agree and raise you pure functions! It is hard to have gotten used to the strict world of Elm and then have those guarantees be gone. :sweat_smile:
Even once is usually enough, for the larger companies.
> Peer review and medical journals are by no means exempt from usual human corruptions

Individual instances can be found, and errors do happen. However the idea that the biggest pharma companies, integrated by incredibly talented and hardworking people, and every safety institution (The american FDA, the EU security council etc) are all so compromised as to miss real problems and purposefully endanger the population is in my humble opinion absurd.

What is the societal advantage on letting a baker share his uninformed opinion on epidemiology? Why let software engineers discuss the safety standards of the medical field? A ton of the situations and problems are heavily skewed to high technical knowledge of narrow field.

I have no idea about how many volunteers are a good number to run a vaccine experiment, I have no idea what a good control group vaccine looks like or why use HepB and not measles. Me sharing my opinions on this topic only pollutes the conversation when I do not have the background knowledge to form an opinion on it.

If you look for information on this topics it would be much better for society if my blog is not there and there is information from actual doctors and epidemiologists talking about it.
I loved Numerical Recipes but it's the product of an old time. It was terribly useful but also in some complex parts very buggy and badly optimized.

Nowadays, a similar effort would have to be community driven, and open-source, and include the deep discussions for domain specializations.
At first I missed NHS staff on the list; it's tucked in the second bullet point as part of "health and social care workers". A footnote attached to it says:

> The final decision on the prioritisation for health and social care workers will be dependent on vaccine characteristics and the epidemiology at the start of any programme.
What are your thoughts on data interoperability? I have a few contact lists (names, emails, numbers, addresses across a few services) that I'd like to consolidate into a single list and take that into whatever app I end up using. Is this at all possible? Have you come across any useful standards?

Looks like there are probably more as well. This is amazing and ultra creepy at the same time.

Edit: There is so much detail in this video that is missed by the narration. For example, if you watch after the ‘budding’ of the replicated viral envelope, there is an enzyme that disassembles the polymerized teal dome that assisted with the fission of the membrane.

I did a little looking and haven’t found what it is. The teal protein is called ESCRT-III, tons of papers on its analysis and behaviors. Here’s one if you don’t feel like googling.

"Keep in mind that the functional components you see here are themselves (generally) proteins ..."

The word "generally" means there are exceptions.

One from memory: The ribosome is a functional component made up of ribosomal RNA and ribosomal proteins. As I recall, most of the ribosome consists of rRNA.
That's a deliberate misinterpretation of what was said.
What is Hubble looking at now and for what reason?
Even a doctor can't answer that without having access to your medical documents.

So get advise from your doctor. Perhaps it depends on your "health issues". And, don't look for an answer from the internet anytime soon.

I assume it depends on your condition. If you are lucky, they have tested it on people with similar conditions and there is data for it. Otherwise, they may still be able to measure the risk. If your doctor suggests that there is a risk because of your condition, then you have to calculate the risk of not taking it as well. How much risk is there for you with the vaccine? How long can you keep yourself safe from COVID19. That depends on your interactions with other people, your job, and people around you etc.
The point being made is that you have to give out the contracts to vetted companies who can actually deliver on it. Just because there's a cheapest option that, on paper, seems to tick all the boxes, doesn't mean said option is actually any good.
That could blow your instruction cache sky high. Depending on what you're doing, that could be something you want to avoid.
Is "strong" redundant? Something can be either consistent or not. Seems like developers asked marketing for a catchy name, but that looks comical.
If they learned their lesson, shouldn't they be pretty much predestined for the job?
How did the title of the HN post change? I originally posted "Airbnb asked Canada for a bailout. Canada slapped Airbnb with a tax." It's now "Canada to apply GST/HST to short-term rentals booked online"
The BioNTech/Pfizer press release mentions a reduction in confirmed cases (8 vs. 162), not in severity. There is no good reason why such an effective vaccine should not reduce the risk of spreading the disease. However, even a large phase 3 trial doesn't have enough statistics to answer this question.
Wait until you hear what people are storing on PasteBin!
> Well for starters, it would be stupid to pipeline the process so that nobody could start reviewing the code until after it was done.

I imagine the expedited process also means summaries and overviews that would normally be presented were skipped--detailed documentation if we're continuing the source code metaphor.
I remember having an IRC client that supported adding your own client-side perl scripts to do all sorts of nifty automations in the 90s. I wonder what kind of magic IRC bots could do today with the natural language processing we have available now. But you make a fair point. I guess even if you are working at a small start-up with 100% hardcore computer-science types, as soon as you expand to include your own employees for HR, payroll, sales, marketing etc. you'll realize most people started using computers after UX was a thing.

I started coding in C++ back in 1992, with Turbo C++ 1.0 for MS-DOS, followed by Turbo C++ for Windows 3.1, with the Object Windows Library.

Something has gone quite wrong when the Pinephone hardware cannot keep up with C++ apps.
They weren't doing their own code-generation, BEAM/C treated C as the target language, and then relied on a standard C compiler. From the article:

Uh... databases ~~suck~~ have terrible usability issues? And so does SQL? Like, really hard core. I took some DB classes at uni and I've learned a lot since too, but no matter how many times some SQL wizard explains to me the "beauty of null," I just don't get it. Why would you want to use three-value logic when you can use two-value logic? Why doesn't SQL have custom types? I avoid almost-programming languages like the plague - if I'm gonna write a Powershell script that's longer than 50 lines, I pull out C#; if I'm gonna write a bash script that's longer than 50 lines, I pull out python; and if I'm gonna write a SQL procedure that longer than 50 lines, I do it in the application.

For a job, I had to write a SQL script that, for each row with some conditions true, check the value of a string column, split it into a list of elements by commas, then split each element into pairs by a horizontal line, and return rows that had duplicate keys. Write a query that does this on MSSQL 2012. Then tell me if it works on the top five other SQL vendors. Now do it again, but instead of a string data with char delimiters, it's protobuf data.

Other old programming languages like C and C++ have had their usability issues. Conflicting implementations, basic functionality missing (std::string::contains). But SQL feels .. perpetually 20 years behind.

PS: Use [Kusto Explorer](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-explorer/kusto/t...) for an hour and then tell me SQL has lots of nice features again. I have a Pavlovian reaction just to seeing "NOT NULL"
The "functional core, imperative shell" pattern is how I naturally gravitate to writing code. It helps so much with readability and understanding what the code does.

Trying to read other peoples code that jumps around between many functions with side effects, often being nested 3-4 levels deep, hurts my soul.

Generally it isn't on the individual to try to weigh something like that up. Here in the UK, at least, the Vaccine will be offered to people in order, so if you are offered it, there would be no reason to defer—others who need it more should have been offered it before you and you accepting won't deny them anything.
Short selling is good for price discovery, and an inability to short contributes to bubble dynamics. So the speculation has value!
We don't need the super-high efficacy numbers (>90%) that the other vaccines are reporting for this to stop the virus. Typical flu vaccines are ~ 50%, I think the Oxford vaccine's results show that they've achieved this.
Just a note for people running this type of experiment to make sure that when using an ec2 t2 instance type, note it has burstable CPU credits by default which run out after some time where you basically get throttled (the credits accumulate back over time) (it can be configured into unlimited mode but you need to set it explicitly for t2 and it costs more)

Intentionally misrepresenting the facts is universally observed behavior in all promotion of fission power, as seen even here.

No nuke plant has been built for $1.4B. So, no, that would be just a down payment for a plant that might produce power at great additional cost a decade or more later, if not abandoned first. Solar could begin producing power immediately, during build-out. And at night, from stored energy.

We have decades of actual records on the actual performance of fission power. It stinks. It has been a massive publicly subsidized boondoggle for 70 years. Too much is enough.

This is why countries and public health departments are discussing and agreeing on who gets a vaccination first - people in care homes, front-line health workers, or perhaps even young, healthy people because they heavily drive the spread. I don't think there's a situation anywhere where it's a free-for-all.

Personally, I will take the vaccine as soon as it's made available to me. Even if my risk is perhaps low (which may or may not be true), taking the vaccine reduces the chance that I would spread COVID to someone else. It's a collective effort to reduce the spread, not an individual or selfish one.
That seems to be a (minor) alteration in the original plan, possible due to the storage requirements for the vaccine.

This is an argument that I've found myself making fairly regularly, and often frustratingly after attempting to hunt down a bug through 10 levels of abstraction that didn't need to be there. Add "debugging complexity" when it's warranted, but don't add it by default. More files and functions mean more jumping around and more potential blind spots.

That being said, John Carmack makes the very important point that this decision (whether to inline or not) should be made case-by-case. Someone in these comments used the flow of a novel as an example and I think it's actually the ideal way to describe the balance you want to strike with code as well. Using "The Tortoise and the Hare" as an example:

Inlined too much: "The race began. The Tortoise took a step. The Hare took a step. The Hare took another step. The Hare took another step. The Hare took another step..."

Inlined too little: "The race began. The Tortoise won!"

It's interesting because some authors actually make mistakes in this realm - overdoing it on details, or leaving the reader confused without enough context. Thinking about the flow of code like the flow of a novel is probably a good idea - both should delicately balance complexity with readability. The best examples of both often describe complex and nuanced concepts while remaining surprisingly straightforward.

If you think this example is contrived and it's always obvious where to abstract and where to inline, it's likely you're over-abstracting. The question of "where to cut" varies greatly from one bit of code to the next and often needs some thought to get right. John's list under "To sum up" here is a great set of guidelines to answer that question.

What a random number...

While CPD (Continuing Professional Development) is a good idea and especially relevant to IT security, I know it is basically a scam in medicine. Go ask a doctor. Some programs might be sensible, but you can also gain them by visiting exhibitions and those start to advertise with it. It doesn't necessarily mean that you learned something

I don't think I would like to see something like that in IT at all. But I know why they would advertise such a thing of course.

From a high level overview and global perspective, what the OP is saying, or meant, is that comparatively speaking UK is much better than possibly 80% of developed countries. Not to say NHS is without flaws, far from it. But if you step outside and look around the world many are surprised how awful public health services and logistics can be.

So to put it another way, It is not that NHS is good, it is just the others are worse. Although this conclusion or opinion also makes me rather sad.
