As long as it can be used to "seek" directly into where the last page ended.

The problem with offset and limit is that you have to actually find the previous N results in order to get the N+1th. But with a cursor you can just "continue".

(when I say "seek" I mean use indexes. I'm comparing to listing a tar file (requires reading the whole thing to find the file in the middle) vs zipfile (seek to where the file is, and read))

We eradicated SARS in 2004. So no. We also drove many other diseases to the point when it is almost impossible to catch them today, in most of the world.

> In no case is "Making it into a Docker Image" a simpler/ better distribution mechanic.

For my home server setup, I have docker containers for:

* PiHole
* NextCloud
* Home Assistant

If I had to install each of those manually, I probably wouldn't have installed them. This is especially true of NextCloud, which almost certainly would have required me to learn how to run nginx on my own, install php or whatever application it uses as the middleware, etc.

Instead, I configured my DNS and ran a Docker command and was off to the races.

Server-level Open Source Software's installation process is often so complicated and has so many dependencies if it's not something you can get from your repository's package manager, at least in my experience, that docker is almost always the easiest option.

What beats a single command and maybe reading a config on what ports to forward or how to set up your config. And then you get a docker-compose if you want to be creative, yourself.

Unless you're already very skilled at dev-ops, docker is easier.
Have you ever seen that solution working as intended in this context?
A question I rarely see addressed during double-blind placebo studies is: how do you ensure both groups encounter the same virus exposure during the study period?

Is it simply safe to assume nearly equal "average exposure" over say 90 days randomly, or are all participants encouraged to follow identical lifestyles.
Also the network requirements to install and update such large containers is a problem, a lot of people don't appreciate how slow the internet is in most of the world compared to those with access to any kind of fiber end point.. this extends to similar concepts like snap packages.
What Happens When the 1% Go Remote?
If it is updated, though (in this case, renamed to Istanbul), it can appear later once again, and newly inserted rows behind "Constantinople" will never appear.

I mean, these problems happen if you use offsets too, and my point is that they don't matter.

The most hardcore solution to those would be pre-computing pages but I doubt it makes sense to bring even more state to the search results.

This hypothesis is easy to test: disable uBlock temporarily for thaf site.
My disdain for docker is not so much disk usage (I consider that battle lost in modern Software Engineering) but all the other crud that it does - such as re-implement an entire network device and routing and all. I’ve seen this cause teams countless hours of downtime with things like IP address collisions with VPCs etc, and I’ve never really been given a satisfactory answer as to why this is useful. So now we’ve solved dependency hell and have to faff around with networking and all. Great.

Also the engine runs as root and takes commands from normal users which I always thought was a no-no but I guess docker is ‘special’ - and should be able to do whatever it likes.
Containerisation is a fine idea and concept - but I think there are still big caveats.

I’ve been using podman a lot and I hope it becomes more commonplace. I hear that there’s a lot of SV politics and drama going around surrounding the various companies and backers which I have exactly 0 interest in though...
Docker For Mac does use a virtual machine to run the Docker machine, though. It's complicated to access the automatically generated mount point on Docker's mac when you create a virtual folder but don't bind it anywhere.
You are proposing...a self destroying launch vehicle?

But these devices aren’t ‘phones’ any more are they? That’s disingenuous.

They’re hugely powerful general purpose computing devices - many people’s primary computing device if you go outside the tech bubble. They do compute intensive tasks like photo manipulation, on-line video editing, grading, and compression, they do face detection, depth estimation, etc etc.

I don’t know why people still say ‘wow all this for a telephone’ like all it does is make analog phone calls.

That's about the only use case of exclamation mark I have in professional, corporate communications. Unless we take "professional" to mean "stuff people do to make money" - at which point, well, let's say that the stuff I read when working at small companies was often below what I'd consider baseline in a civilized society. And the spelling! One of the nicer things about working for bigger companies is that people feel they need to put some minimum effort into communicating, and don't just dump their stream of thoughts as fast as they can type.

> Early teens is a time when kids should focus on social activities, not be obsessed by some individualistic activity

I don't think GP is suggesting they spend their time exclusively on these activities. But it seems like good advice that kids to spend some time on such endeavours!

Besides, many of these activities could involve (or lead to) socialising with other kids in the process, towards a common goal. Which is an amazing way to develop social skills too.
As Prof Bill Buchanan OBE on LinkedIn points out, the Brexit Trade Agreement [1] on Page 921 goes:

The underlying certificate used by the s/MIME mechanism has to be in compliance with X.509
standard. In order to ensure common standards and procedures with other Prüm applications, the
processing rules for s/MIME encryption operations or to be applied under various Commercial Product of the Shelves (COTS) environments, are as follows:

– the sequence of the operations is: first encryption and then signing,

– the encryption algorithm AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) with 256 bit key length and
RSA with 1024 bit key length shall be applied for symmetric and asymmetric encryption
respectively,

– the hash algorithm SHA-1 shall be applied.

s/MIME functionality is built into the vast majority of modern e-mail software packages including
Outlook, Mozilla Mail as well as Netscape Communicator 4.x and inter-operates among all major email software packages.

If you're looking for a vanilla+ style mod rather than some of the more dramatic overhaul, I'd suggest Krastorio 2. It adds 3 new science packs and some tweaks along the way that fit into the vanilla feel pretty well for me.

It does tweak nuclear a little, giving you a way to use reprocessing side projects for fusion power near the later part of the tech tree.

In terms of circuits, the one area in which I always use them is to control oil refining so I didn't end up capping on heavy/light oil but also didn't turn it all into petrol and leave myself without the resources to make lubricant or rocket fuel.

Space Exploration pretty much forces you to use circuits too in controllijy what goes to your space stations/other planets but it's a long mod with most of the content basically starting after a full vanilla playthrough

a) They're never good enough. One form of targeted ad appears to be 'if they've bought this once, they'll buy it again', failing to take into account how likely a repeat purchase might be, which is all sorts of wrongheadedness. It's similar to an uncanny valley effect - genuinely perfect targeted ads could be very useful, but below a very high level of accuracy, they just become even more annoying than random ads

b) The data required for ads to be sufficiently targeted is beyond what many of us feel comfortable having companies sharing with each other

c) Targeted ads are typically delivered dynamically, raising all sorts of security and efficiency drawbacks

Ask HN: Side-Projects - How to build persistence
I have observed some crazy successful people at close quarters and one thing which stands out is their persistence. They are extremely formidable who don't stand down from their idea or startup no matter what fate throws at them.

I am struggling with building persistence in my pursuit of startup ideas or side projects. I am a decent hacker - can crank out a simple MVP fairly quickly. I keep getting ideas and usually I start out with a lot of enthusiasm which begins petering out as I encounter technical difficulties or learning areas, or customer nonchalance. My question to those who have been at it, for quite some time. How do you maintain the enthusiasm for your projects esp when it's not a bread-winner?

In the states that I have lived, the voter information pamphlet lists who supports and opposes every initiative. Every time that a new regulation on the ballot would benefit the public at the expense of business, it’s always the same: on one side are Republicans and some multi-national corporations, the other side are Democrats and public-interest groups (environmentalists, etc).

I don’t think that public-interest groups have as much money for backroom deals as multi-national corporations. So that’s why I’m pretty sure of it.
It’s how any reasonable software represents IPv4 addresses. Dotted decimal is only for human convenience (and honestly, I’d argue that 0xDEADBEEF would be just as convenient, after all people turned out to handle HTML/CSS hex colors just fine!)
It's arguable that it's not quite the same. It all comes down to consequences.

If a distro messes up the trustworthiness of an application, they, the big and important company loses clout.

If the application developer messes up, they also lose clout - people may stop using their software.

Chances are, if you're using a third party for a third party piece of software that isn't officially dockerized by the company that developed it, nor a major distro, there's no real backlash if it doesn't work or if they get hacked, etc: "it was a third party trick, so _of course_ it wasn't trustworthy" would be the statement everyone makes.

Debian messing up, or Cisco or Oracle, etc, is a much bigger deal.
This is the beauty of randomization and blinding. Because both the participants and the doctors (the ‘double’ in double blind) don’t know who got the vaccine or placebo, anything you tell them to do is told equally to both sides. You can’t alter the trajectory of one group over the other because you don’t know the groups.
I got into dominion at the start of the first lockdown and have played close to 400 games since, the one thing that helped me improve was remember a Big Money or Big Money/+Cards deck normally wins in 14-17 turns so any strategy you choose should beat that time.
I'd give that about as much a chance as the EV certificates had.
I guess you ensure exposure by having many test subjects during an ongoing pandemic...

Now that the UK have already over 500k doses of the other vaccine administered we will see new data on the effectiveness and safety of the vaccine (in comparison to CoVid-19, don't forget that!).
Speaking as a Taiwanese, this “we are deeply sorry” stuff is standard PR template used by most corps here. They don’t mean it and we know they don’t, but they always include it anyway and everyone reading automatically skips the opening part of these PR messages. Only people read into that are foreigners (who don’t understand how this formality works) and propaganda pieces (who want to sound sincere for obvious reasons).

That would require very good mixing of the fuel and oxidizer before explosion, which is unlikely to happen during a launch failure. IIRC for the N1 falling back on the pad after a few seconds of flight it is estimated that only a fraction of the fuel load was exploded and unburnt kerosene was raining for many minutes.
This is great advice!
It’s worth reading the peer reviewed paper in the Lancet. It’s been a PR disaster which is significant when you’re talking about persuading people to take vaccines. But from what I see:

- a mistake was made on standardising measurements, but a decision was made that erred on the side of caution (diluting the batch that may have had too high a dose). I can appreciate these decisions being decided based on balancing what is needed to measure efficacy vs. the number of additional people who die due to delaying the trials. In hindsight it was wrong and something apparently simple was overlooked but the decision process seemed to have integrity and be based on what was known at the time.

- The accidentally modified dosing trial was just tested on younger people but the improvement was the same even if you only compare it against the same age range on the original dosage. This dosage I guess needs more data which will probably be forthcoming. However the original dose efficacy of ~60% is still useful given the affordability and practicalities of distribution.

- the validity of the pooling of the data was approved with the regulator well before anyone knew how it would affect results

- However a key thing looks to be that the reduced dosing increased the vaccine’s efficacy on Asymptomatic cases from ~4% to 60% - But at this stage more data is needed because to give a confident picture. This is big news as this is the only vaccine so far with an indication of efficacy against asymptomatic.

Please correct if I’m wrong in the above?

The Fountainhead, but not for the cult reasons. I found it a beautiful book about staying true to your vision / life even when the rest of the world is giving you shit and trying to shut you down. I love Atlas Shrugged for the same reason. I read it as the importance of doing what you love, even in the face of massive adversity.

Read them multiple times in my late teens / early 20s.

In addition to using cursors or whatever pagination method suits your backend in query params, it's also a good idea to include pagination URLs in the response itself if you can. Greatly simplifies what the client has to do and reduces coupling since now the client doesn't need to care what your query param structure is

jQuery does not really add value in 2020, since browsers (even the ones that are widely phased out) have standardised all of its main features.

In the last 5+ years, I have never found myself missing something from jQuery. Is there something that jQuery does marginally better than vanilla JS in 2020?

I fear that the approval and quality control process have been politicized and is prone to errors of both the white and the black swan type.
Speculation is the only way today to establish proactive risk management - it is so much cheaper to contain it and then find that you had overestimated the risk than the other way around. That particular variant ha also a nasty deletion, increasing its chance to escape from the vaccine. Although you are right, you need to vaccinate the vulnerable first, the vaccine is not 100% reliable, and the uncontrolled spread among young population might make the reliability of the vaccine even worth, because of further mutations.

This is highly relevant to what we've just lived through.

'She and Irving C. Tang were the first two people to earn a doctorate in computer science in the United States'.. 'After finishing her doctorate in 1965, Keller founded the computer science department at Clarke College (now Clarke University), a Catholic women's college founded by Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Dubuque, Iowa. That same year, that National Science Foundation awarded her a grant of $25,000 payable over two years for "instructional equipment for undergraduate education.. 'in 1975, Keller declared "we have not fully used a computer as the greatest interdisciplinary tool that has been invented to date'.

I'd agree with her assessment even today. How much in the last year of working online with students have we even broken a single barrier of real change that won't be rolled back once we open classrooms again? What a lost opportunity to have built a generation of students who understand computers above video chat and Twitch. We could have put our collective energy into using this opportunity of remote learning to develop long-term educational programs that teach about the very tool they rely on. We failed them. When I was young you needed some awareness of how computers worked to use them. Is it fair that we don't teach computer science as a core curriculum?

I have had good experiences with the free NGINX RTMP Module¹ for basically doing the same thing. I just have a cheap US and EU cloud instance. Stream OBS in multiple qualities to the US endpoint and have it auto pushed to the EU endpoint. Using this module, both endpoints use RTMPS and generate HLS and DASH. Then added a little HLS.js² player and can easily serve a small private viewing party, at multiple stream qualities with auto quality/bandwidth adjustment.

Unlikely to cause problem.

Giving people multiple vaccines using different vectors is common and tend to help in reaching immunity. Tests are currently under way for dual inoculation of the Oxford and Russian vaccines.

A multi-vaccines protocol is unlikely to include any of the RNA based one however. They are just too expensive and too difficult to store. But a combination of the more traditional is likely.
From where to where? It's been all over the forums and news the past few weeks, e.g.:

If you order by id as a tie breaker it's guaranteed that ever new inserted row has a higher id than the last id in the dataset.
If the id is a GUID it's possible to add a new row between the paginated API calls with a GUID lower than that of the last received row. Or does the cursor prevent that the new row is skipped?
What if the pagination is by order by id only?
I wonder what they'll do for "M1X" and pro-machines?

Seems like heat isn't an issue, so can they increase the clock-speed of the M1?

And will they create a larger die with 2xGPU and 2xCPUs, or will they "stitch" multiple M1 dies together on one package to have a higher yield and reduce supply chain concerns?

An M1X with 2xGPU will bring it to Radeon 5500M level which is what I have in my current 16", but still not quite to Nvidia 1080 level.

So they'll definitely need a more powerful GPU for the pro-users. I wonder if they can make a 4xGPU, or if the yield will become poor as the die size increases. Maybe they'll have to do a discrete GPU, but that doesn't seem to match their current trajectory.

And then there have been "leaks" (rumors, really) about an 32xcore M1-family CPU, but I imagine the yield of such a beast would be horrible, with all the other SOC components on the same die. Especially, if they put a 32xcore GPU on the same die.
Because adenoviral vaccine are unreliable, and there is a big concern that humans have become so adjusted to them, so that immune response will be very fast and the embedded Covid proteins won't have a chance to make the antibodies against themselves.
