Well - The hacker news community is not even remotely representative of the U.S. population (nor typical pops in other countries I suspect). If you thought it was, then you'd think 90% of everyone in America voted for Biden. But it was much closer to 50-50.

That's only the AZ/Oxford vaccine right? Pfizer hasn't issued a warning.
There is an obvious reason you are being "sold hard". Because this vaccine will save lives and end the pandemic. Just because some person or group conveys urgency doesn't mean you're being scammed or that they're lying.

It's both sad and funny to me that this is the reaction people are having.
1. mRNA technology has been in varying phases of human trials since 2013. The trials conducted by Pfizer and Moderna were absolutely massive compared to normal study sizes. While this will be the first mass-distribution vaccine using the technology, it's not untested. Further, the results so far suggest it's far more effective than the Oxford vaccine.

2. It's really curious to see people saying, on the one hand, that they're uncertain about a vaccine because of some unexpected long-term impacts, and then saying on the other hand that they're unconcerned about unexpected long-term impacts from a brand new and as-yet-poorly-understood disease. There are still a lot of question marks about covid-19 and researchers are still discovering far more "quiet" impacts in apparently healthy individuals, including blood clots and pericarditis.

2a. Overall though I'm in favor of anybody avoiding this vaccine that wishes to. The disease would continue to disproportionately affect the populations of people who believe it's a hoax, or believe it's not a serious health risk, or believe it's a conspiracy, or believe the vaccine is a conspiracy, or believe that vaccines in general are conspiracies -- and we could do with fewer of those people.

3. As two other people have already pointed out, the researchers have only been cautious about not stating something that they don't know to be factual. It's funny: when researchers are cautious, people read too much into it and draw bad conclusions, and that leads to the kinds of research press releases that other people then criticize for making statements unsupported by evidence. Researchers have repeatedly stated in various media that there's no reason for them to expect people to be infectious after taking the vaccine, they merely haven't tested for this specifically.

4. The people they're talking about here are the sort that need to carry an epi-pen with them wherever they go. If you are one of those people, then yes, at this time there's an uncertain amount of risk associated with these vaccines. The situation is still developing and there should be better information available as the vaccines are distributed.

Oh right it's dry, confused it with Houston :) But still, an average high above 100F for 4 months is pretty brutal. I'm guessing people don't spend much time outside during the summer months (during the day at least), unless it involves some water activity.
eh, I'm not sure this really spells the end of anything - Bay Area growth has been extremely high for years, decades even. And yes, California has a huge problem with building homes & infrastructure, but even so, it's been growing at around 8.5% for a while. At the same time people have been leaving all along and it's inevitable that changes like this will happen. I honestly think that Oracle doesn't even benefit from being in the SF area anymore anyway, they sell maintenance contracts to fortune 500 companies, you can do that from anywhere. And no one is being forced to relocate, so anyone with school-age kids or an employed spouse is likely to stay anyway.
I doubt there's benchmarks from ye olde days, but are you sure? I thought the first PPC machines managed to outrun 68040 machines, even in emulation. I fully admit my recollection could be wrong there.

But regardless, that entire pre-G3 era was the nadir of the platform. Those were dark days.

> Don’t forget how many people don’t even take the flu shot.

That's a funny comparison from a UK perspective where the flu shot isn't even offered to the general population (only the elderly, vulnerable or those whose work in healthcare or similar). I'd say there is much more reason to take the COVID vaccine than the flu shot.

Yeah you can do that. I'm actually working on a little library to do just that (control memory layout) although it's more focused on 0-copy FFI w/hsc2hs

You can also have the RTS manage the memory itself, but have complete access to a pointer to raw memory. That doesn't work if you have pointers in the raw memory ofc, but it is a nice option if that's not the case.
From my experience in industry, while hardly any programmer will ever need to write a modern code generator, few things are more useful in practise than being able quickly to design a suitable DSL and implement a corresponding performant and correct lexer and parser. This is not something that can easily be picked up on the side.

In addition, understanding what happens under-the-hood when you program in a high-level language is an eye-opening experience for many students. This sentiment comes up in student evaluations year-in, year-out.

I ignore all of the COVID vaccine messaging histrionics. The level of ignorance and political maneuvering out there is astounding.

When I'm afforded the option to get the vaccine, I'll make an assessment of risks based upon data we have at that time vs the risks of contracting COVID.

If I had to make that decision today, I'd take the vaccine. But by the time I'll likely be able to get it in February or so, we'll have millions more data points that I'll be able to consider.
You realize this is BS, right? That's an average.

I live around Oakland. The number of days, in the last decade where I wished I had AC went up 10x. I literally had days where I camped out in my basement. With a fan blowing on me. That never happened a decade or more ago. Ever.
When these were announced I was interested to see if Apple solved by biggest qualm about bluetooth headphones: low audio quality when using them in duplex mode for calls. This is a limitation of bandwidth in the bluetooth standard AFAIK. Whenever I jump on a Zoom call with my QC35's, they immediately switch to mono audio, at low quality, because the mic is in use. I am not sure this can really be solved at the hardware level, but if anyone could do it, it would definitely be Apple for a $550 price tag, possibly by including two bluetooth radios (one for talk and one for audio). But I haven't seen any mention of this use case, so it seems like I will just have to wait for a new standard and new generation of BT devices.

People keep forgetting that death is not the only effect this virus has and many of the side effects afterwards are quite bad.

There have been more than a few cases with people losing taste/smell, heart and lung damage that may be permanent, and other nasty effects that we are still learning about, truly heartbreaking stuff when it is young people who were training for or attempting to become high performance athletes their entire lives just to have it stripped away because of this virus.

This is not true. It came directly from customer needs -- customers were looking for an effortless way to run containers without having to deal with orchestrators like k8s or be locked into frameworks like AppEngine.

I've used Cloud Run for a bunch of projects, and it's fantastic.

Not by a long shot.

Simply being mounted isn't a problem. A syscall needs to be hung on a network request.

I regularly hit this issue. Most recent one was last year on 4.19 kernel when using NFS mount. I found the bug report for that one and they said it was fixed in 5.1 or similar.

Beware they were talking about that particular bug. Because as the parent comment says it is architectural issue that can't just be "fixed". It's a whack-a-mole. Developers need to be careful on all the call sites to avoid it. FUSE, NFS, CIFS code is all susceptible to it (and to my horror I've bitten by every single one of them several times in the past).
So far it has not. The courts have shot down the the lawsuits on procedural grounds without looking at the evidence. Several states have held hearings were a lot of these allegations are discussed in detail. The hour long hearings are on youtube.

You left out a couple of extra steps. :-)

> myObj is fetched from the local scope array by array-index

That's true if myObj is a known local variable (assuming you're inside a function or class block--in global scope there is no "local scope array" to begin with). But if it's not, myObj has to be looked up in the dictionary of global variables, which is slower than the fast local array indexing. (And there is also the nonlocal keyword, which further complicates the lookup since enclosing non-global scopes also have to be included.)

> Or was it one merged dict?

No, it's separate. And it's further complicated by descriptors; first the lookup needs to check if MyMethod is a descriptor (such as a property) on the class, and if it is and the descriptor is a data descriptor (i.e., has a setter method), it overrides the lookup in the instance dictionary.

> All __slots__ does is mean that myObj doesn't need its own dictionary, it still has to go to __class__ for a dictionary hit

Yes, __slots__ is an optimization to reduce memory consumption, not to increase speed.

> surprised that there were so many unoptimized layers involved in resolving a method

They can't be optimized in the general case without sacrificing the dynamic attributes of the language, which would defeat the purpose.

Optimizers like PyPy focus on optimizing these layers in the special cases where particular dynamic attributes aren't being used in particular parts of the code. Cython, which does as much static analysis at compile time as possible to enable eliminating the extra lookups when they're not going to end up changing anything, is another example of the same idea.
Speaking as someone who already has some (but not all) well-understood vaccines contraindicated and has to figure out which category covid vaccines will fall in...

People are rational most of the times, and act based on the well of knowledge they have at the time. When you choose to promote certain content because of its high engagement benefits you given its controversial nature, then you are poisoning the well of knowledge for each individual. If you do so in a feedback loop, considering what they were interested in before, you accelerate your earnings as well as the poisoning.

Human brains are hackable, more so if you can control their inputs. Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, they all found the attack vector.

So democracy and truth are more related to each other than democracy and speech. We tend to think that speech is truth, but it is not, and people over time have voted themselves out into dictatorships over and over.

If you're not in one of the early target groups, I would assume that tens of millions will have received it before you - in the USA alone. We should have a lot of data to look at in a short amount of time.

I already had it. No need to get vaccinated for something I've already had where the current research is indicating that immunity is either permanent or very long-lasting.
I may be misreading that, but isn't the table saying that 82% of residents with dementia require assitance in their daily living activities?

From having spent time volunteering at a nursing home, that 87% number is not far off from my experience. I'd add that they tended to put volunteers with people who had less severe forms of cognitive impairment.

That being said, you would occasionally meet people who seemed mentally impervious to aging, I had the pleasure to speak with an 87 year old computer programmer who was still actively using all kinds of technology. He talked to me about punch card programming accounting systems on IBM 1401's and dealing with technology skeptical secretaries who would double check every computer calculation by hand.

Fun! Yup, metaphors can be great and apt. We can extend the word “harm” to any desired degree, and find motivations like this.

Then if we bring the new variable value (harm includes psychological harm) back to an older equation (words can never harm me), we can derive anything (the phrase is now wrong).

There is no logic police to stop us from doing this when it’s useful.

Another example: “beer will get me drunk”. I hate this phrase, so let’s fix it.

First, I can say that being “drunk” is similar to being “in love”. It has many similarities, after all, and I think those justify equivalence. From there, I can say that being “in love” is after all very similar to being “loved”.

Bringing it back, my statement is now “beer will get me loved”. It’s the clever hack underpinning many great nights.
There are potential side effects, these side effects are potentially long term and severely debilitating and despite being a low risk, it's still a higher risk for me than experiencing anything terrible from covid.

It's not known with any kind of certainty which carries more risk of long term side effects. Or aggregate harm if you want to look at it that way.

The vaccines do seem to reduce risk of severe Covid, across age groups (One didn't have any severe disease in the vaccine group).
Which one? By the time non-high risk groups get vaccinated there will be more versions available based on more traditional platforms. I would prefer a more traditional one than a highly experimental one like the mRNA ones.

I guess we will know more about the mRNA ones soon as the British has started large scale vaccinations.
Bay Area had 99 straight days of poison air in 2020 and there's no reason to expect 2021 to be any better, especially considering that so far the 2020-2021 water year has been the driest ever recorded in human history.

Maybe, but good ol' Elon would be dead and gone if the US Federal Government hadn't come through with a contract that bailed him out.

Survivor bias is a thing.
If they opened higher than the market was willing to pay, the compounded effect would have been brutal, the media would have effectively declared airbnb dead on the sport with article after article contemplating exactly how they would die. And realistically that would have been the case with even a lukewarm launch, so who’s to say the net effect of leaving some money on the table for the 10% investers doesn’t overall pay itself back? The story today definitely isn’t “AirBnB is dying after covid period cuts them to the bone”.
The supply curve is determined to a large extent by costs, so this doesn't seem like as very helpful nitpick.
Also you might split up the "No" answer as "No, because I've already had COVID and recovered" vs. "No, I'm an anti-vaxxer" (or something).

Fly.io – New VMs: more RAM, extra CPU, and a dollar menu
I think we'll find a lot of the people who are currently uber rich would've either stopped working at $20 million (which would've been a big loss to the economy and society at large), or they would've gone to another country (as we see in countries with a wealth tax in EU - also a big loss). Money continues to be a motive even for those with enough to satisfy every need, because it becomes a marker of status, achievement, etc. If you remove that motive then you remove the output of some of our best minds.

You'll certainly remove their clout over society but I think you also need to consider the significant downsides to this proposal. Maybe you would be better off finding ways to limit the power of rich people over society (eg political contribution laws) instead of trying to ban being rich?
I don't think that really holds up. Ultimately you could say this about any small mismatch between desired skill-sets and those available, but at some point we call it hair-splitting.

If you need someone to build a parser for your IDE, you're presumably better off with an expert in traditional compilers, than with someone who knows nothing at all of language processing. You'd be better off still with someone experienced in language processing within IDEs. Less mismatch is better, even if it's impractical to insist on no mismatch at all.
