We will certainly try. Need to mirror a repo, freeze it and update our installation infra so it looks to the local repo rather than the national mirror.

All repo settings will look to local repo so we'd have no dependency problem or version creep if we need to install an additional package.

Didn't completely think how to handle the occasional emergency update though.

Also, we need to compile in some packages. Hope they won't break. High performance stuff needs optimized/customized compilations.

I just want to add: Hope that the packages in CentOS stream won't end up too cutting edge for the scientific software community. These communities move slow due to stability requirements. We'll certainly see but it might be another potential problem.
My understanding is that with the exception of the Oxford vaccine, all the front runners use the same technology. This limitation could well apply to all of them.
Correct, but nobody builds bank vault doors for their bathroom. That’s my point here. This article is about how law enforcement can break down bank vault doors and everyone here is like “this makes my bathroom door irrelevant”.

Your bathroom door was already irrelevant, you just never found that out because nobody is busting down bathroom doors.
While I'm interested in Alpine and will take a look at it, I think it's in a different class than CentOS. A look at the release schedule[0] suggests that major versions are supported for 2 years. In contrast, major releases of CentOS historically were supported for a stunning 10 years (until yesterdays' announcement, which moved the support window for CentOS 8 from 2029 to 2021). I've worked with companies that had been running legacy CentOS 6 boxes for over half a decade, and from my perspective the longevity was incredibly valuable for that kind of business.

Really? Criticizing Google's frontends but praising GitHub and Amazon? If I had to pick a large tech company with a bad frontend Amazon would be top of the list. GitHub is not great either. I guess this kind of thing is just subjective though.
This is entirely normal for drug development. AIUI they also didn't test on pregnant people. Given that the aim here is to produce herd immunity, rather than sterilising immunity in 100% of the population, this should all broadly be fine.
Even the quantities and order of preparation are not inherently copyrightable. Per parent comment's citation, where a recipe or formula is accompanied by substantial literary expression.

"Fill pitcher with water, add lemon juice and sugar" is not going to pass muster as "substantial literary expression".

But if I republished your 5 page story about how your grandma used to make this lemonade and you remember drinking it on the porch of her cottage on Cape Cod, then I would be infringing on your copyright.

Just the ingredients, quantities, and procedure explained in a factual manner is explicitly not copyrightable in the US:

> A recipe is a statement of the ingredients and procedure required for making a dish of food. A mere listing of ingredients or contents, or a simple set of directions, is uncopyrightable. As a result, the Office cannot register recipes consisting of a set of ingredients and a process for preparing a dish.

Your explanations of why a process is followed, and other supplemental information beyond the instructions, can be copyrightable.
Node-RED, an obvious choice for prototyping IoT systems
> It does make it baffling why Intel is unable to produce 5nn chips with the same ASML machines TSC is using. It must be management failing Boeing style.

ASML machines do not produce chips, they're just ones doing the etching. There is a ton around what you do with it, and how all the rest of the chip is produced.

They don't come with pre-programmed transistor gate templates. Each fab company has its own libraries of extremely specialized designs, doing different optimizations and tradeoffs. As mentioned plenty of times before, the consensus seems to be that Intel tried to pile up too many new improvements, which backfired. TSMC took a more incremental and safe approach. You have to appreciate that a defect that impacts high-volume yield today could have its roots in a design that was put on the roadmap years before.

> As for the rest of Europe. Im sure they can politically do this. But where will the money end up?

If H2020 is anything to go by, the majority of that money will be salaries of people working on big research projects. At worst the project outcome is useless. I don't see how any of the way these projects are structured benefit the pocket lining of managers.
I'm not sure what you're talking about, but watching someone who worked very hard their whole entire lives be blamed for their misfortune, humiliated, and denied access to treatment by the American system of benefits (not just healthcare, this included disability and other services) doesn't result in narrow-mindedness. It results in an accurate appraisal of what is happening to poor people in this country every day. You can find plenty of news stories, just post-pandemic, about people treated similarly by unemployment benefits systems that were designed to be punitive instead of helping people in need.

If those realities are uncomfortable for you and you want to dismiss them, that's perfectly fine, but these stories are out there in plain sight, across the US, for you to observe.
I understood what you're trying to say. I still disagree.

The products and technologies involved are too different to take any goodwill and apply it universally. Even in the same product there are issues with subcomponents: The M1 is great, but the touchbar is still mostly useless and the keyboard only improved recently. How can we possibly say anything across products?
You’re probably using it wrong. Click your mouse on a non-interactive UI component and press “.”

I agree jira is terrible. Other bug trackers I’ve used are somehow worse. Does anyone have anything they can recommend with a straight face? (Github issues are missing too many features for me. Jira’s sql-style language is just too useful.)

Don't forget the shit sandwich: many management books suggest putting criticism between two positive comments.
>To solve this, Android/iOS make an extremely long salt, so that + your PIN is your passphrase. In addition, there is logic to deter brute force attacks (e.g. after 10 guesses wipe my device)

nitpick: it's not just a "long salt", the "salt" is burned into the phone's security processor (trustzone or secure enclave) and can't be extracted so any attempts must be made using the exact phone. Using a gpu cracking cluster wouldn't help, for instance. AFAIK the anti-guessing logic is also implemented like this, otherwise you can just extract the salt and make unlimited attempts since the phone can't keep track of how many attempts you made.
Attempted to max out the ingredient list, and got a recipe that would probably feed 20 people[0]. Most impressive thing in my mind is it did correctly figure out it is a soup.

However, I'm not sure 60 cups of vegetables is useful for the common family ;).

Yes! I’ve always fallen into this realm in many different fields. My graduate research was in meso-scale chemistry. The physicists would dig down and solve the quantum mechanics for small systems to crazy high detail. The traditional theoretical chemists would solve big systems using statistical mechanics. My problems were to big to do the quantum with traditional methods and too small to take advantage of ensemble statistics. That’s where the novelty was.

Now in computing I do the same. I don’t do fancy buzzword big data and my cloud experience is single instances. But the problems I solve are hard and there’s no magic recipe I can steal from SO to solve them. It’s all novel problem solving.

The money is in the meso scale. Small stuff isn’t interesting and the cloud providers have taken the margin out of the big stuff (or at least have taken the margin for themselves).

It’s also fun to solve these novel problems...though it does make me a bit of a dinosaur and I can’t complete at getting a job at a FAANG because I don’t do stuff “at scale”.

I think everyone will be affected. At the very least, one has to face possible infection or an annual vaccination. Which are both options/actions that didn't exist previously.

It’s better now, wasn’t there when Docker came along.

You also missed my point, the infrastructure teams already built stable infra on CentOS, the work was done. They didn’t always account for people wanting to run new versions of Imagemagick to process user uploaded photos, . This is what developers needed. They wanted to pipe curl through gunzip to get what was required.

Docker ticked the boxes for devs and ops.
Yep, sadly you are right and that has been happening quite a bit as well.

It makes complete sense to exclude people with severe allergies from the trials if you believe severe allergies are likely to affect the health and safety of the vaccine. This is fairly common for vaccines. It's not cutting corners either. If you expect severe allergies to adversely affect outcomes, you don't gain anything from having them in your general trial population, because unless you make sure your data gather and trial protocols are designed to test for the difference, you're unlikely to be able to form a robust opinion on the safety of the drug for allergy sensitive people, but are highly likely to taint your understanding of how it affects "normal" people. (that is, you could probably observe risk fairly easily, but you wouldn't be sure to confirm its safe for them if nothing showed up)

There might be something about being conservative to avoid what happened to these people without notice, but in the scheme of things its a pretty small pain point.
Ah yes, Angular.
Something to consider, when evaluating cases like this:

Politicians like Obama often make promises like this with the same open-source information about these programs that you or I have. What if the failure to follow through was driven by a change of heart caused by having full access the the details of such programs?

I'm not saying these details do justify continuation, just that we need to consider that there are things Obama did not know about these programs when he made these statements that he found out when he was elected thus changing his views of these programs or his decisions on where to spend political capital).
Sure, yet, I wonder why this seems to trickle out the day AFTER the first run, when, if it's true what you say (and I have no idea, so you certainly know more about it) they would have been able to avoid this entire report / potential fiasco (think of the anti-vaxxers) by announcing it a bit more boldly beforehand, no? Why let that bit of negative information overshadow the second day?
The same issues exist for other languages and runtimes so I'm not sure why Rust having a standard solution is a disincentive. How many ways are there to ruin a python environment?
> it's not like you give them much more information than they already have.

My thoughts exactly. I'm hoping that we'll see a move from Google Analytics towards more privacy friendly services as they improve.

Then again, I'm not sure marketing people will want to move away from Google Analytics. And I don't think marketing people will read news from cloudflare.. so we'll have to educate them.
If he's that good of an engineer, have you considered hiring someone to sit down with him every so often to help him log the data?
I'm currently scraping recipes, too. The scrapers extract the data from the html itself, however most recipe blogs/sites provide the recipe as JSON-LD.
>it's perfectly safe and highly effective

Does anyone actually believe that though? The us government and corporations have a long history of lying to the public.
Could we get to herd immunity by not immunizing those people who are part of groups excluded from the trials?
This is a great move, thank you.

Options to purge analytics data and visitor logs would also be handy to give us more control over our users’ privacy, as well as the ability to transparently see how much of our user data you have collected and for how long it will be retained.

And while I have your ear, please consider supporting web servers hosted on non-default ports, and the setting of custom Host headers behind your reverse proxy. (in self-serve - hosting on privileged ports shouldn’t be a requirement of using your service for both security and IPv4 exhaustion reasons)

Love Cloudflare. It’s good to see your team self-aware about privacy concerns and working to mitigate some.
Police have been harassing people for decades in the US. To assign it exclusively to Trump ignores this history and it also assumes it will go away in January.

I don't think a nation-state is looking for my info and even if they are, there's nothing I can realistically do to stop them. Thee NSA (or whoever) simply has more resources than me.

So, my primary concern is protecting from ID theft and nosey police officers/TSA agents. A long passcode is mostly sufficient. Lock the device before interacting with said LEO and hope they don't decide they need the $5 wrench.
The Pfizer vaccine - and the Moderna one - both use a polyethylene glycol (PEG) copolymer in them as a nanocarrier. PEG in injections is a known allergen, and these very serious effects are known. Whether or not it showed up in the trials is irrelevant, it didn't have to.

That would be funny, but there is a difference between Twitter and HN.

In this case, the author wants to use twitter as a microblog -- the use case it was designed for. If they don't want to read other input on their twitter, why would they?

Meanwhile HN is explicitly designed as a community with a focus on curiosity, exploration, and discussion... none of which your comment provides.

It saddens me but it seems to fit life so well.
Substantial literary expression is old law, written when software was poorly understood by courts. Proceedures are now regularly copyrightable. They will find expression somewhere, even in a typo or apparant error (see the old phonebook and map cases). While one can pull and copy the facts, verbatum copying of every minutia is very dangerous.

Remember that a recipe isn't just an instruction set for making food. For purposes of copyright it is also letters on a page generated by a person.
I think it can be satisfactory under certain conditions. City-scale works because people can vote with their feet (the binary Keynesian beauty contest has an escape hatch), diversity is somewhat limited, and there is somewhat more accountability (the mayor lives in the same city, walks the same streets as its inhabitants).

But it's certainly not democratic at the scale of a country-continent such as the USA. Their citizens don't have the freedom to vote with their feet (even less than other countries due to the unique tax on citizenship that follows them around the world), and city/countryside people have opposing opinions on many important issues.
>Also, what do you mean by 'untested and unnecessary'?

The vaccine was intentionally not trailed on these people because of the risks.

If low risk people get vaccinated then it is not necessary that this tiny minority get vaccinated because of how herd immunity works.
Slow software doesn't indicate a lack of skill.

Understanding the Blockchain Ecosystem from the Ground Up

What do you find lacking about GitHub's frontend?
Can you have multiple trackers set up? I get the same tracking code for each domain I try every time I set it up, which isn't great for keeping relations between websites private.

The token makes it seem like it's per-user rather than a general one everyone gets.
This seems like a very passive management style. If there's a problem, discuss it directly with them. Don't faff about, it could just be that they don't know they're missing expectations

Sounds like the hypothetical manager in this scenario is underperforming and thinking they're doing great too. Managers need spines.

e: for a bit of context I was an underperformer that thought they were doing well.

Also admittedly this is a kneejerk response to a skim read while I'm on a coffee break so I've probably just focused on the passive parts that used to wind me up from management
Thanks, I'm a pretty heavy RSS user, mostly with regular desktop clients. Where my usage pattern is pretty much a single dump for everything and just quickly scrolling through the 100-200 updates/day, scanning some, reading others, postponing some by opening them in browser tabs (I still habitually check "loadDivertedInBackground" in Firefox' config, even years after google reader ceasing to exist). I don't even categorize the feeds.

But for a comprehensive, all sources in one app, I'd want even more than categorization. I'd want different reading modes (concatenate tweets, leave other articles alone), maybe an expose-like overview to quickly filter, some intelligent ranking etc.

rsshub seems interesting though. Can it do hackernews user's posts?
Those claims are bullshit.
The people most likely to travel are last in line to receive the vaccine and supply is limited so you cannot just go to your GP and get the shots.
This article is pretty hand-wavy. It doesn't give any empirical numbers at all.

I've had a small FreeNAS server using 4 x 3TB SATA drives in a mirrored config for years now and it's out of space. I'm about to build a new server using used 10 x 3TB SAS drives and intend to put all ten disks into a RAIDZ2 vdev. I care more about space than performance or rebuild times. Before I load it with data, I'll do some testing of read/write performance and rebuilding times. If they're unacceptable, I'll try two smaller RAIDZ vdevs and if that still doesn't work, I'll go back to mirrors.
I could be projecting, but it sounds like your team member has ADHD.

My work set up an automated system that emails people between 9-10am if they forgot to log their time the day before. You get dinged if and only if it gets to the second reminder at 11. As someone with ADHD I only distinguish two times: now and not now. Having a reminder that means "do it now" took me overnight from terrible timesheet compliance to near perfect.

It's not an automated reminder that happens every day at that time like an alarm clock. That would get tuned out / filtered out very quickly. The key is it's a novel message that I only see if I screwed up by forgetting the day before.

And it's easy to forget because the ADHD brain is like a CPU with only one register, and the register spill circuit for service interrupt / return from interrupt is faulty. In order to impersonate a functioning human being I tie certain things I need to do each day (like filling out my timesheet) to certain other events during the day. But if the routine gets broken or I get interrupted in the midst of doing the thing - the mind state that held what I was supposed to be doing is just gone.
Quite likely - I would expect "severe" allergies to be less than 1% of the population.
No, you’re missing my point! To you, what is she? Some random person. Her life is not more important. If she’s scared for her life, then she should find a new job. Giving protection to certain people but not others is the definition of elitism. She’s a human just like the rest, is scared for her life just like the rest, yet only she gets extra protection? What you’re saying, pretty well directly, is she’s somehow better than the rest of us.
One problem with mirror vdevs vs. RAIDZ2 : In the RAIDZ2 case you can lose any two drives and still have your data, in the mirror vdev case, 2 drives failing in the same vdev means all your data is gone. You could potentially be okay with losing half your drives, but only if all the failed drives happen to be part of different vdevs.
My resume is an XML document and a stylesheet I feed to Prince (https://www.princexml.com/), which is an amazing piece of software. I also used it once to generate a book I had printed by some on-demand printing company. I got great output out of it.
I personally am 100% that site should work without JS (as well). Some UX might demand dom manipulations, so at least personally of having both. And for excluding GA - that's firstly a topic of specific business and it's philosophy. Technically if you collect server logs - you still have to get user's consent probably.
AWS console is by far the slowest thing on my machine, web based or not.

I don’t use GCP or many other Google products though. I’m kind of shocked google managed to ship a framework slower than GWT. I always assumed anyone that used it for a few seconds would say “well, that was a fundamentally bad idea”, and not double down on whatever the heck Google was thinking.
I think the problem is this is not government controlled, but will be individually implemented by each private org. Without central administration, they're likely to rely on the vaccination card they give patients to track when their next shot/brand of shot will be. If you're excluded for valid medical reasons, you might not get a card... but as of now, an exclusion card doesn't seem to exist.
Such techniques should, at a minimum, be disclosed and vetted at trial.

In the US, the government is probably going to ask for (and receive) some sort of national security waiver to sharing the details. Generally up to the judge to determine if that request is valid.

Or, the law enforcement agency will use parallel construction to get a conviction without exposing their tech.
History says that that's not true and the Soviets relied on extensive networks of spies to get tech secrets, be it the bomb or so many other military projects.
Moreover my sister reacted badly to one specific vaccine... Should she skip this based on that or assume it's fine based on the lack of reaction to most vaccines.

The guidance here is really lacking.
