Thanks! I'm still in the room with no feedback that sending the message failed, but from the room's point of view it's now private.

One other thing: my message was still posted by @matrixbot, rather than by my Matrix user. Is this another case of every client having to migrate (I'm using Fractal)?

You have explosive nearly on every main bridge and "autobahn" sometimes in the street sometimes on the walls of mountains, to slow down tanks/troop transports.

Of course they do, as long as there's a bed available. Especially with Covid. No hospital wants to be the one that denied a patient an available ICU bed.

It's likely this will change next year when Australia lifts quarantining. It will be considered an acceptable risk given that most people will not be vulnerable to it.
Not selling this is the real crime here. Microsoft's conduct in this case deserves much worse than just that.

Hoping for a reward now is obviously not going to happen - the best you can hope for as a response to an act like this is legal action. In a vindictive way, you can definitely hope they will get significantly damaged by this and in that way learn their lesson, but I doubt it.

Guix: A most advanced operating system (2019)
Small nitpicks: The Medicare / Medicaid portion of FICA is 1.45% and uncapped, and increases by .9% over $200k.

FICA is also paid equally by the employer (.9% ACA add-on excluded), so it’s only an accounting gimmick that prevents it from being a 15% tax on income.
If it reduces impact it also reduces impact of transmission because the patient has lower viral load. Masks have to same effect, although to a lesser degree (and obviously a different mode of operation).
Because it’s annoying if everyone starts yelling for minor earthquakes?
There can be several factors (not all related to software companies).

- Budget

Money goes to different departments. Some managers are better than others at winning internal bids.

- Regulations and internal policies

Big corp procedures can sink any request.

- Project

Consulting world. It's likely you get a lighter, shinier and faster machine if you’re going to spend lots of time at the client site.

- Migration procedure

At some companies the IT support can lack manpower to process high volume of migrations. I've seen this taking months.
I'm not sure what the cops think this person did but whatever she was accused of this is an absolutely unacceptable way to handle it in the US.
More than once I've asked someone to stop their vehicle so I could get out and arrange for an alternative transport. Either that or let me drive but no way I'm going to be a passenger in a car that has a driver that isn't on the job.

That is a great advice. However if scalability must be introduced later on, it can be really hard as there are many features that have been added to the monolith, and refactoring it to become scalable can be a huge task.

The conditions where the monolith must be converted to a scalable system should be defined as early as possible.

I'm not aware of stats relating to how many asymptomatic individuals go on to develop full blown symptomatic Covid-19. My assumption is that testing PCR positive while remaining asymptomatic the entire time is by far the most common experience.

Of course, whether you go on to develop symptoms or not, its still highly pertinent information if asymptomatic spread is not a major driver of infection. As long as you self isolate upon symptom onset that should be enough. It does call into question whether isolating the apparently healthy is an evidence-based public health policy intervention though.

True, but it will be sufficiently improved with software updates.
That sounds like a bad professor. It doesn't cost anything to add parenthesis for clarity. I enjoy well written code but we're not writing literature here, it's okay to be explicit.

> In GraphQL we have one endpoint with two different queries. So the same problem can happen if someone queries naively. But, they can also write one nested query that says "give me user for id X and for each video id, give me the video data". It will be one request from frontend to backend, but still multiple selects to the database, unless we use some "smart" GraphQL framework that does magic for us.

In reality, you'd more likely have an endpoint like `/videos/user/12` or `/users/12/videos`, which would provide all videos for a user, but we'll put that aside for the sake of an example.

Hmm, so I think you're saying that there would still be separate queries, but you're "batching" them, such that client sends multiple queries simultaneously to the backend, and then the backend is responsible for executing them? With HTTP/2 (which supports request multiplexing), you get a similar result using REST endpoints.

> Yeah, seems you edited your post. When I read it, there was 100% a question-mark in it. ;)

That is true, but what if it was the same car (software) killing every pedestrian? Right now every situation is unique, but being judged based on who wrote the software is the worst case scenario for self-driving regulation IMO.

Switzerland has very different regulations, practices, and policies related to guns than America. Although gun ownership in Switzerland is high for a developed country it is still a fraction of what it is in America.

Switzerland and America are like chalk and cheese when it comes to gun ownership.
Having guns is a necessary but not sufficient condition.

You need to have guns and a mixture of distrust and/or fear of the government.

Yes American cops don't miss an opportunity to amaze the world... (and make people believe that USA is the less secure place in the world to behave like this).
Participating in a system that exploits researchers for free labour using societal guilt-tripping is the unethical move here. That means you.
This is missing the point and reeks of intellectual dishonesty.

Asymptomatic has a strict definition. You get the virus and nothing happens to you. This is what the WHO and Fauci are referring to.

But most "asymptomatic" cases aren't. They are either paucisymptomatic (you have mild symptoms - maybe too mild to notice) or pre-symptomatic.

Obviously if people were only contagious if showing symptoms, the pandemic wouldn't be.
There appears to be some confusion in the terminology here

- database transactions are not meant to prevent the "user A and B are editing object X at the same time".

- Database transactions ensure that when you ask the database to modify X, it either happens in its entirety or it doesn't. It's not meant to prevent concurrent edits, it's meant to keep the data in the database consistent.

- CRDT's allow user A and B to edit object X concurrently, because it's mathematically proven that two instances of the CRDT can be merged later without conflict.

You also don't need to start locking things yourself if all you want is to prevent user A from overwriting user B's changes. Add a column "version" to your table and when the user submits a change, include this version number in the change request. Then upon database UPDATE, check if the version in the DB still matches expectations. If it doesn't you reject the UPDATE and you can report back to the user what happened. You could easily apply this logic using triggers which will ensure that no matter the source of the UPDATE statements, it will be a certainty older versions can't overwrite newer versions.
Context:

"The Florida department of law enforcement confirmed they had entered Jones’s house on a search warrant. But in a statement the department said the action was related to a recent computer hack of the health department website, in which emergency response coordinators were sent an unauthorised message."

...

"[Jones] told CNN she had come to the conclusion that the raid had been motivated by a desire to root out her source within the state bureaucracy, which is why police took away her phone. “On my phone is every communication I have ever had with someone who works with the state who has come to me in confidence and told me things that could get them fired,” she said."

Ouch, too late to edit, but wrote a mistake above. The measles virus resets the immune system, and the measles vaccine stops it from doing that, so the MMR vaccine seems to have a much bigger effect than just preventing MMR, which used to be described as “boosting the immune system” but is now understood as “letting it do its work uninterrupted by measles”
But if their peers are missing school, too, I'm not sure how that research is relevant. Is there research showing that, when the whole class misses in person school, there's appreciable damage done?

Allow me a counter example: My significant other was a war refugee and had severely disrupted schooling from the age of seven to about nine years of age.

Yet her generation had higher graduation and matriculation rates than their parents. Indeed, their achievement rates were in line with other countries in the region that didn't experience war.

I'll readily concede that, for children in an abusive home, less time at school is dangerous to their wellbeing. But the hand wringing about long term learning damage to all kids seems overwrought and unsupported by any evidence I've seen.

But I'm more interested in being informed than winning arguments on the internet, so if you can point me in the direction of studies, I'd much appreciate it.
The state will not provide it to non-residents. As soon as you arrive in the UK, immigration stamps "no recourse to public funds" in black all-caps into your passport as a friendly reminder.

Yeah but for how long? Unless Australia is willing to keep screening all arrivals and containing outbreaks indefinitely, Covid is gonna start circulating there at some point.
Does it really? Has it been found that a significant source of infections was illegal immigration? Or that without it there would not have already been internal spreading?

Your original comment suggested that renewal was in some way automatic. It isn’t, the leaseholder has to request it.

We’re not actually disagreeing here, I just found your original comment ambiguous.

Based on what my solicitor told me, I think you get a 999 year lease with peppercorn rent. But I could never find source for that.

> Assertions may be added to the Underlay by anyone; those who add an assertion are noted as part of its provenance.

What to do about spam?

It seems likely that Underlay repos will soon learn to allow-list assertions from trusted sources like Wikipedia and block-list those from random users, at least when querying and attempting to draw useful conclusions from the data.

At that point, does all of the distributed p2p stuff really add much values?

Mkbhd’s Desk Setup
Looks like a great resource. There does not seem to be anything on database connections (e.g. MySQL,
PostgreSQL etc) and related topics (e.g. building a CRUD framework). Are database connections only considered in a client/server context (e.g. through Node.js)? What am I missing? How does the IndexedDB section relate to these considerations?

> There is a chapter called ‘ninja code’, which is full of terrible advice.

How someone interprets a tongue-in-cheek chapter could be a good litmus test of their reading comprehension, grasp on the fundamentals, and (last, but not the least) basic sense of humour. I’d hate to see it removed.

If someone takes this section literally, I would be immensely curious how they reconciled in their mind that advice with what they (supposedly) read in preceding sections.
I failed a google interview for using a nested generator comprehension instead of for loops. It solved the problem, but the interviewer was utterly disgusted by it. He had some fair points about it being hard to inspect and modify and add exceptions.

> A just society offers opportunities, not guarantees.

Tell that to the people who made a mistake when they were younger, got a criminal record, and are now vilified for the rest of their lives and are turned down from the vast majority of jobs. Is it any wonder you see those people turn to crime to make a living?
I didn’t notice until your comment and it’s too late to edit now, but the first place I wrote “vaccine” should have been “virus”, see also my response to myself.

(Revaccinatiom may be needed after rituximab, which was specifically designed to attack immune memory cells in case if autoimmune disease - which apparently measles does as well - but the MMR vaccine doesn’t do that. I just typeda wrong word and didn’t notice)
While I certainly understand the viewpoint of being bribable by a million dollars, legality has absolutely nothing to do with ethics.

As you say, clamoring for ethical behaviour at all in this context is terrible and completely missing the point.

This is the best science based informative video I have seen on how these different Covid vaccines actually work.
Who's an idiot, the rich person that hid a treasure or the people who go into the wilderness and die?

People need to learn to be responsible for themselves. Supposing they were adults, going into the wilderness and not being able to survive is totally on them. "But there was a hidden treasure" is not an excuse.

People damaging national parks and monuments - again, that's on them. "But there was a hidden treasure" is not an excuse in this case either.
They could make proof of vaccination an entry requirement. Combine that with widespread domestic vaccination and you've got a very good chance of containing any infections that make it into the country.
So you actually think these scammers who have latched onto Woz are legitimate??! Have you sent them your money yet? How's that going, are you at the top of the pyramid? How much are you in for? Are you rich quick yet?
At the same time some of those market disruptions need to happen and the incumbents were probably never going to get there.

A single, open source, interface app needs to exist for co-coordinating 'radio cabs' and it needs to work for _all_ cities. Ubur/Lyft are somewhat close, but that market platform and co-ordination would never have happened without them.

Hotels / housing are an issue because of predatory monetary practices. As a society (at least in the US) we don't have planned community retirement, so anything expensive becomes a defacto investment vehicle. This leads to a preference for any policy that inflates the cost of housing, which directly leads to NIMBY and combines with anti-sprawl measures to constrain supply. At that point basic econ101 applies and prices just keep going up without ever correcting (anywhere jobs exist).

Social media and the other MITM attacks are probably symptoms of the same issue; yet I'm not quite sure what a true root cause and solution are. It might require personal AI secretaries or something similar that are interest aligned with the individual users, rather than any corporation or government. (To facilitate schedule arrangements that are optimal.)
Show HN: Detect Website Visits from a University
Well at the NHS they'd consider your approach American Overtreatment.
Hey! Last year during college applications I wondered if there was a way to modify content or know when a university looks at my website. Sounded crazy but it would mean you could do something as blatant as "I love Harvard University" except it changes to Stanford when someone from there visits. While that is probably not a good idea, it still felt intellectually stimulating to have the ability.

I had thought I'd need to do complex location related tricks so didn't really try, but realized a much simpler way to do it a few days ago and threw together a quick API¹ on a cloudflare worker and a proof of concept to go with it that has worked perfectly so far. The worker code is directly on there and not on github, but it just uses isp and org filtering to determine university or not.

Got hit by a DoS attack yesterday, ironic considering Cloudflare, that exhausted the 100,000 req/day limit but it's back up now.²

I don't know what I'd really use it for, but I'm glad it exists.

Server oriented DBMS specialized in write-once-read-many workflow do exist.

However, you are right: research have completely different data consumption model than web service.

And in HPC, it is:
- Much more efficient to do sub-milliseconds massive parallel data access over a parallel DFS, one network switch away than it is do it over a DBMS.

- Often much more convenient to move a flat file around to do analysis/model modifications of scientifics results on your laptop.
