While I admit that this is a tough call, and I can see coherent arguments for either one, if the FDA was _trying_ to infuriate people who disagree with them, they could hardly have done a better job than this.

It essentially implies that other nations, most prominently the U.K., that decide to gamble the other way, are foolish or unaware that there are risks. This is manifestly not the case. It is a gamble, and there are certainly risks, but no one who is advocating changing the dose regimen on the fly is suggesting otherwise, that I know of.

The motivation for going with one dose for twice as many people (in a given period of time), is that currently we seem on track to have the vaccine show up just barely too late to do much good. The virus is getting better at spreading all the time, and at the current rate of production, even if everything were distributed more or less instantly (which it isn't), we won't get a vaccine to most people before they get exposed to the virus anyway.

Now, there are still certainly arguments to be made that sticking with the tested regimen is the least bad option. None of them were present in this statement, which more or less attacks a straw-man argument that changing the dose regimen is without risk. If they were trying to make people angry with them, they could hardly have done a better job.
yes this

love the gatling focus on CI/CD (though would imagine it's not that simple) -- repeatability and automatic regression testing are as important as testing new architecture

there's value in testing with a live network because your prod system has a live network, but a network conditioner can simulate some crappiness, and it forces you to understand your system; when you can repeat a failure with a conditioner, it's much more likely you've understood the failure

re noise, 100%. Many LTs have unclear acceptance criteria that generally record a 'fail', can only be interpreted by the original author, and may not always predict prod
The interesting thing is the person sponsoring the bill is from FL, where I don't think it matters to them which time to keep as much. For more Northern latitudes, both have issues for particular times of the year (like the sun coming up at 4:00 AM in the summer in most of NY State if we stuck to Standard time).

But I also think this person is choosing DST over ST because, in 2019, Florida passed a law to make DST the normal time. Of course, it was symbolic because a state can't choose to be on DST (only to stay on ST): https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/state/florida-passed-a-bi...

Their definition of "constructor" is as something that will perform a task reliably (whose meaning they define as including repeatably) for any choice of input with the specified attribute. If you can't come up with some reliable repeatable way of turning any cooked egg into a raw egg, then you don't have the thing they call a "constructor" for turning cooked eggs into raw eggs.
Gutenberg promises to have WYSIWYG editable React components, which is a big deal, but they made insane decisions like storing the attributes in HTML, rendering HTML in the database, and requiring component developers to keep an array of deprecated changes when they want to modify anything on the component.

In other words: want to add a new CSS class to your component? Need an entirely new component for that in addition to maintaining the last one. Failure to deprecate will result in something like a fatal error in the editor that the user can't recover from. It's like PHP-era decisions with modern promises.

Github issues are or were stuffed with people pulling their hair out and finding byzantine workarounds to fundamentally bad decisions and indifferent responses from core developers.

This is the difference between a scientist and a mathematician. A scientist would consider the empirical evidence more than sufficient to consider RH to be true.

Having seen the architecture of [frankly] too many WordPress sites—I'd bet that it's not so much of a choice, as it is a requirement to remain on the old editor because of incompatibilities with business- or, at least, editorially-critical plugins.

Sometimes even worse—some plugins have cross-dependencies and so updating becomes a rather complex matter that most businesses relying on WordPress do not have the interest in or capital for managing.

Stevey, I’m not sure what your aim was in posting this here, but you’ve set a trap that will catch all kinds of feedback (including mine!).

You’ll hear people say “this game sucks!” Some would say to ignore the haters. I’d say learn from them if you can. Don’t engage the ones that just want to poke fun. But if they have a reason they didn’t like the game, you can learn from that. I see some have already called your game “basic,” which might be fair, but it’s not really very helpful. Flappy Bird was as basic as it gets…

Many will miss the point and say things like “not HN material.” I couldn’t disagree more. You built something! And published it! That’s a big achievement. Whether the game is terrible, good, or great you exercised all the muscles it takes to ship something, and the next release (whether an update to this game or a whole new one) will be a lot easier!
Strange that something like this is possible, I've always believed that the likes of amazon/ebay had better fraud detection. changing listings seems like an obvious door to fraudulent behaviour.

I quit caffeine about 10 years ago took about a week but I've not looked back since. (The secret for me was replacing the exact number of teas/coffees I drank with green tea and reducing the number) now I just drink decaf or herbal teas.

The unfortunate side effect is I sort of view caffeine now how it would be classed on paper - as a drug!
But they're not priced the same. The MSRP is just the MSRP and does not include the incentives for EVs.
I also tried to stop drinking caffeine, or so I thought. I replaced it with green tea and thought that I was in the clear until my sister in law pointed out, correctly, that green tea also contains caffeine.
or up north... 10-11pm, awful.
> there's no "caffeine crisis"

On a less humorous side node, I remember having read there are scientific concerns about large-scale pollution caused by mankind high usage of caffeine: ground-water contamination, bioaccumulation in water organisms, detrimental effects on aquatic or terrestrial organisms like insects, or molluscs

eg from the abstract of https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2019.125343 :

> (...) definitive evidences have been provided that environmentally relevant caffeine concentrations exert adverse impacts on aquatic species and terrestrial insects, which included lethality, decreasing general stress, inducing oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, affecting energy reserves and metabolic activity, neurotoxic effects, affecting reproduction and development, etc.
> I wouldn't trade 4.5 years of my healthy adult life for anything

But you probably do, just not on purpose. It's smaller decisions that you don't realize involve trading 'healthy adult life' for money/convenience/pleasure/release. And of course, the work hours you put in are very directly trading healthy adult life for money.

Opportunity cost is not something that we, as humans, are particularly good at. It is of course possible that you are exceptional, in which case you can assume I'm speaking from my own fallible experience of existence.

Ben Thompson tried to compare China with over 1.4 billion people with Taiwan with only 24 million people and vehemently arguing that the Taiwan's governance is better is very disingenuous at best. Imaging the comparing the governance of large corporation vs. a small startup, it's just different. The complexity and nuances of managing human organization will increase drastically when the headcount increases. That's just common sense.

Also Ben is based in Taiwan, he should know better. The current Tsai Ing-wen's regime actually oppressed free press and freedom of speech by terminating CTi News TV broasting license due to political reasons (since CTi New airs opposing views to her government and is generally seen as close to the mainland China).[1]

I don't agree with Ben's first rule of new default either:

First, it should be the default that free speech is a good thing, that more
information is better than less information, and that the solution to
misinformation is improving our ability to tell the difference, not futilely
trying to be China-lite without any of the upside.

The more information is NOT better at all. Information overload will cause great harm and push people to the extreme ideology, as we've seen in social media (facebook, twitter, google etc.) the self-reinforced bubble. And there are physical drawbacks to those too. The more noise and junk information the less likely you can make an informative decision. Garbage in garbage out!

What's the point of an automatic shutter? It seems like security theater, unless the goal is to protect the camera lens from dirt and scratches.
That's a separate problem that needs to be debugged. [It sounds like there's distribution problems that may be temporary or may require vastly simplifying our distribution rules - e.g. just set up drive-thrus and tell any elderly person they can come because rules restricting access slow down vaccinations -- fwiw, we discovered the similar problems when we initially tried to restrict testing]

However, once we fix that, we still have a problem of insufficient vaccine.
Happy to have been helpful :-)
So, the issue is the time of day companies decide for their employees to work. Instead of shifting that time we should shift the way we handle time.

Doesn’t Rust have “comments working like syntax” in the form of #[derive] etc.?

I’ve only read through the rust book without using it for anything (yet) and have done no work on golang, so I’m legitimately curious to hear your input, not challenging you on semantics :p

Edit: Rust does not use # for comments. Sorry I just had that mixed up in my head, but thanks for the answers!
Your comment inspired an interesting (to me at least) thought. I'm imagining a world where mathematics becomes too advanced for even the brightest human being, but progress is preserved by proof-generating programs running in data centers. The data centers churn out exabytes of mathematical proofs, and humanity employs an army of what are effectively philologists/semioticians to dissect, mine, and excavate these proofs for meaning.

“You have a few options for getting a great picture of how your system performs:

• Good old analysis.”

I’ve been trying to do that (because it seemed the only realistic method for figuring out how to cost optimize a cloud setup (should we have more smaller API servers or a few big ones? One or two databases? (When) should we scale down instances in less busy times? ...), but didn’t get far.

Being mathematically schooled, I went for queueing theory. That isn’t simple, but not the main stumbling block. The complexity of cloud infrastructure is. Figuring out how many simultaneous requests AWS load balancers/Kubernetes can handle, what delays they introduce, how they route calls (round-robin/random/...) how large their queues are, how Kubernetes scales down/up instances is quite a challenge.

So, has anybody collected ballpark numbers for these kinds of things, or hints on what can be ignored in the setup? How do people handle cost optimization of cloud instances?

Or do people just bring up variations on the infrastructure, benchmark them, and, when getting bored/running out of time/having found something that isn’t too expensive, stick to the best configuration found?

The probem is that here on planet Earth, governments are made out of humans.

You may not believe it, but when you give a human the power to censor what would make them lose power ("fixing the issue" is how they describe it), it has been historically hard to make them stop using that power.

But that's not the worst. The worst is the other, powerless humans, who nonetheless cheer for the powerful humans to be able to censor them! What do they have to gain? Fleeting feelings of superiority over a different set of powerless humans, at best. And a one-way trip to the Gulag at worst.

So you see, in your planet things may work out fine, but here it's all a bit messier than that. Take my advice, go back to your planet where you know what are the "issues", and how to "fix" them.
