> an extremely loud, and arguably dangerous, minority

I fear this minority will grow significantly as soon as only an extremely small minority of vaccinated people is allowed to eat at restaurants, enter an airplane or visit a concert. Please remember that the overwhelming majority of the population currently has no access to vaccination, and won't have access for months to come.
I guess neuroscience mostly compares to the condensed matter / semiconductor field, in the computer analogy. They know everything about the transistors but guess at why they're connected like they are. And some in their respective fields will also be very interested in the high-level connections although maybe with less depth..

Unfortunately, in the neuroscience area, there is not yet any analogy to a computer programmer.
It's really only one generation of backwards compatibility. The GBA SP is the last one that can play GBC games, as it's the last one with the 8-bit coprocessor - the DS can play GBA games because it's "small" processor is the same, but it can no longer play GBC games. The 3DS can no longer play GBA games as they no longer physically fit.
Wouldn't it make more sense to have a register of those who are vaccinated instead of those who refused it? I think the former one could be more less justifiable and have some (potentially) beneficial uses, but the latter one has more potential for abuse than benefits.
Thanks for bringing this up btw, it’s a very interesting topic I hadn’t thought about.

It isn't the same. The density matters. A less dense object will spread the force of the impact over a larger area. It may be enough to result in deformation rather than puncture.

The reason knives cut is they concentrate the force over a very small area.

It’s true that EU regulation on this topic was harmonized in 2011. However, the harmonization actually loosened the Swedish requirements in several ways, particularly with regard to rear lights, which previously were required to be always on.
Ask HN: How to Deal with the Container Nightmare?
I'm a Linux infrastructure engineer. I'm having a hard time in finding a position which doesn't sound like a total nightmare to begin with. All I see these days involves Kubernetes. I had my fair share of k8s and I'm not a fan. I'm not totally against it, there are legit use cases for it. But for the companies I interview with it almost always seems a bad choice and sign of a poor overall architecture and management.

Usually I'm confronted with something like this: an external developer or consulting agency has setup an initial container environment. And now the company is looking for someone to take over the environment. Usually nobody in the company has ever worked with Docker. All are full of high hopes and unrealistic expectations. Everyone thinks that the initial setup was the hard part and operating it will be an easy job. A lot of money and effort has been invested. The CTO got his job by pitching "let's decouple the monolith into modern micro-services", but there is only nihilism beyond that.

So much has been invested into this micro-service thing. The plan is perfect. Now I'm being asked to take over responsibility for this Frankenstein stack full of alpha quality software and good for now code. Nobody foresaw the heavy footprint of clustering everything. So there is no budget for a test environment.

I like KISS and boring code. Some ideas of DevOps are appealing to me but with the situation today it feels like going back to square one. Bringing up even the slightest critic of micro services leads to someone acting like repeating the GCP/AWS sales pitch would be an original idea.

Sometimes I stumble over comments here which give me glimpse of hope that some people are waking up and get a more realistic view on micro services. But I fear it will take a while until that will have an impact on my local job market. How long might that take? What can I do with this situation?

Ironically, I actually think old Apple laptops are better to repair, because of Rossmann.

What other brand has leaked schematics and boardviews? Replacement batteries, iFixit guides, and skilled independent technicians keeping the A1398 and A1466 going as long as possible? I doubt Apple will return to their glory days of making those laptops new, but I feel like the repairability of 2014 Macs is still better than many Dell/Lenovo/HP/Sony alternatives. At the component and logic board level.

I really just wrote the post to share a debugging experience I had this year. It doesn't have to do with IPv{4,6} addresses themselves or any specification thereof, but it does relate to the Python 2 `ipaddress` library's handling of them and a pitfall you can accidentally find yourself in.

A dry, but more accurate title might have been

Most of this news is a kind of compliance behaviour modification marketing. They dangle the carrot and stick to encourage things and discourage others.

So this might encourage those who need a stick to vaccinate them, a threat of lack of privacy.

In reality, in 1 year or so, most countries will find their vaccinations have worked and spending billions on tracking them is not worth it.

What we should expect are new messaging when many have been vaccinated and many have not. How do you deal with people in freedom and those without?
So, either Jail or death. Why would anyone return there?
Currently people with strong allergies are not recommended to take it, since it can lead to allergic shock. Then my prediction is soon that people with autoimmune diseases might be recommended not to take it, and later people who have an infection leading to have reverse transcriptase in their body (the last two is just my glass ball telling me)

Then the vaccine is not approve for youth below 16 (if I remember correctly)

And what about the 5% not respondinding to vaccination, they don't know that, so everybody should continue to take precautions?
I feel this so much. When my team started up we used latex/mercurial for all documents. It worked great for a year except for one person that used dropbox instead of mercurial. Eventually we reached a critical mass where convincing the whole team to not use word was impossible.

Google docs works pretty well, but I wish it had more friction to download documents in office formats. People are quick to start working on local copies as soon as they miss some minor feature in word and you end up with the same problem you described. I think my perfect tool would not even export to word.

I agree sharepoint is awful and it's even worse now that it's baked into teams and people are using it without even realizing it.
That's a good observation. It suggests that the adult dorm could work if they all, say, worked at the same company.
I think the demand is there, just no one has the right combination of financial resources, technical ability to pull it off, the right sense of good design, and a way to make money off of it somehow other than by charging licensing fees (which is probably a non-starter if you want to grow the user base quickly and take advantage of network effects).

The companies I can see who are in the right position to profit from developing and giving away an OS that's at least as user-friendly as MacOS or Windows and as open as Linux are Intel and AMD. But it's hard to imagine either of them making something that's a joy to use.

Something Linux-based could work, but Linux is kind of stuck with a lot of decisions made thirty years ago. The kernel is pretty good, but the basic abstractions of POSIX-like operating systems are perhaps not what you'd design if you were creating them from scratch in 2020.

I have an autoimmune disorder, so I am reluctant to take it, considering how early it is, and that I have been exposed to COVID-19 and I most likely have/had it.

No, I am just saying that you cannot realistically expect everyone to care about your health, so you should take precautions as much as you can, because presumably you care about your health (much more than randoms). That is all.
I agree. You (not you but like-minded parent) were the one to bring up "human rights" and morality, as if that matters. I'm no libertarian.

Do what you're going to do. You're in power. But don't insult us with the fluffy human rights rubbish.

Rebranding PrestoSQL as Trino
“Standards of Identity” are not in and of themselves a bad thing. If a product comes to market claiming to be one thing but it is not, it may damage the market for all other products. Imagine a tv manufacturer claiming to sell a HD tv that is not HD, for example.

In this case, the pasta industry did not want their product confused with the new noodles coming from Nissin; this was back in the days when many Americans may not have readily known the difference between pasta noodles and ramen noodles, and wondered why they were paying more for pasta than they could for ramen.

Now those rules might be perverted to suit protectionist goals, but that’s the whole art of effective hopefully minimalist regulation: it’s very hard to do.

Alternatively, it might be the fact that the pasta company in question was selling buccatini at a lower price, a competitor did an analysis, and they found that this company was saving money by skirting regulation that everyone else is complying with. And they did the right thing by forcing the FDA to apply the rules evenly to all companies.
Everyone thought it was a brilliant idea

Yes. Spaghetti is a type of enriched macaroni, according to the FDA.
Precisely.

As a matter of fact I went through the trouble to set up 10.9 through 10.14 in VirtualBox, driven by gitlab-runner via the virtualbox executor[0] (which is pure genius: it uses linked VM clones from a reference VM to spawn parallel runners, as well as using snapshots once SSH is ready after first boot for <2s spawn + full state reset).

Given the painful macOS on VirtualBox situation, at the time I wanted to move to VMware Fusion[1] but lacked time to implement an executor. It seems someone took that in their own hands and implemented a specific runner (in Swift!).

With the size of game development teams it really depends on what you're working on (And I'd speculate, that less people work on engines than on game systems). Only the really big studios roll their own engines. Looking at something like Watchdogs, there are also people involved in writing Quest and Dialogue systems etc. for the game designers and these things are quite mundane.

As for GUI-based CSV editor projects, I may highly recommend you also take a look mtCellEdit (C++/Qt[0]) and Tabulator (C++/Qt[1] & Python/Qt[2]) apps.

Both projects are cross-platform & FLOSS (free and open-source software), so available for Linux, macOS, Windows, etc.

FTR, mtCellEdit has a lot of functions especially useful for spreadsheet/CSV data analyzing.[3,4]

No. You'll get the same temperature rise from an ideal frictionless gas.

(This was one of the exercises in fluid mechanics class in college.)

The bit about the air cannot get out of the way fast enough comes from its inertia, not friction.

You'll find the same temperature rise in high speed aircraft like the SST. The max temperature rise is at the stagnation point where the air velocity is zero.

(Compress any gas and it warms up, this is how refrigerators work.)
Annoyingly, newer Leafs don't let you limit how much you charge anymore, and the regenerative braking curve changes based on how much battery you have…
Goodbye, 2020: Takeaways from 2020
Two things here:

- Your job won't always involve doing things you like doing. If you're stuck in jobs which use tech you don't like, at some point you have to accept that said tech is here to stay and spend just your work time on it. It's not a great choice, but jobs are like that more often than not.

- If, as you say, containerisation is a bad idea for most companies (I wouldn't know - my company uses the "boring" way of deploying our services), you just need to point out how it's hindering them. I'm sure when management starts wondering why their platform bills are going through the roof or features take ages to go live, you can pitch the boring way to management and make your case with actual facts.

Though it's hard to write this well
Kind of disappointing to read the comments here. The introduction talks about semantics of teaching. How phrasing can demotivate the students.

He goes over some rough edges and explains why they might be rough. He uses the word unfortunately here on purpose, to distinct it from bad, or weird or whatever.

Concluding he writes about how some of the unfortunate parts are needed to make typescript great.

That is confusing to me, he's talking about teaching, and using these examples for future teachers to think about in their field. Reading the comments here, they all seem to discuss the examples. I'm sitting here, thinking did I missing something, should I be discussing the examples? As someone that written many lines of code in different language. I can ignore the idiosyncrasies. But when you are new, it's really hard.

Similar that is why I'm always in awe of clojure/lisps. It's so minimal and predictable. you don't have to learn 100 million different syntaxes or exceptions. S-expressions, maps bools, data and go.
This is a good insight. I reached a similar one a few years ago, but with regards to hate: i.e., that hate can only arise where there is fear, and fear is there where there is a threat (real or perceived). The quintessential example in my mind: would the Nazis have emerged and acted the way they did, had they seen the German Jews as just a quirky religious minority? Would any immigrant today, be hated if people of the host nation saw them as just just a bunch of people who look different and have quirky customs? Perhaps it is not about the differences, but fear of losing what they think is their way of life as the migrant population increases.

And until everybody could have had access, the limitations you describe won't be put in place. Afterwards, things are different. But hey, when people refuse you can't help them. masks would be an option so, but anti-vaxxers won't wear those neither. Entirely their problem, if you ask me.
If the OS can run in a virtualized environment, you can kind of cheat by letting some other OS like Linux handle the hardware compatibility. It's not as aesthetically satisfying as running on bare metal, but it can work.

If some company wanted to create an Apple-like desktop experience with purpose-built hardware but with an open OS, this could be a good route: implement all the drivers needed to run well on bare metal on the company's own hardware products, but anyone can run it in a hypervisor on any computer.

Education. At best we're playing at the edges by making knowledge more accessible. But to wit, education is mostly trying to teach content that becomes modern, using 19th century methods.

Given how important the knowledge economy is, I would think that significantly more money (worldwide) would be invested in researching promising delivery models. Admittedly, I have no idea what those are either.

You are lucky to have someone write requirements who weights in these aspects. I have seen too many specs (this mostly happens in business software) where failures are knowingly or unknowingly ignored... because schedule.
