Thanks for your thoughts but this isn't a helpful post. You're welcome to stay in Canada if you feel there are non monetary benefits you would prefer over a higher salary or more career growth.

I think that paying 50% of household income to cover basic shelter is absolutely absurd and a bad deal. It's financially impossible to start a family in a major metro here, and I'm a higher income earner. IMO that negatively impacts my quality of life substantially.

Beyond this, as much as Canada likes to bill it self as friendly and multicultural and paint the US as racist and mean, my personal experience has been quite different. Here I have witnessed the worst forms of racial nepotism I've ever seen. Entire teams of the same ethnicities all speaking the same language. I was hired into a team like this and was regularly excluded from lunches the team took to celebrate cultural holidays. Sorry, racism is racism.
This read like a really shitty, saccharine, abridged, disjointed article. It barely touched on its title. How did this get to the front page?
Mice studies are useful to scientists in the field. My guess is the popularizing mice studies to the general public is very, very misleading.
I couldn't agree more. While I have moved on from Spyder onto Pycharm for many years now, Spyder will always have a soft spot in my heart for being a great first IDE that brought so many great quality-of-life features and replicated and surpassed the MATLAB experience of prototyping and developing code/algorithms in an interactive manner.

Also, I know ccordoba is here on HN. If you read this, know that you have immense respect from me for tirelessly maintaining Spyder for all these years (I started using it in 2009)
(I just added bigint support to a silly little interpreter project I'm working on. It took about fifteen minutes, four of which were looking up git commands, and the compiler told me what to change. Year 2021 and so it goes...)

Sometimes I explain things like this to my a friend of mine who is at least as smart as I am but doesn't computer and it's always so humbling.

To an intelligent outsider we (ye olde IT industry) look so goddamned silly.
It might be outside the scope of CodeMirror. CodeMirror is not an IDE. Monaco is extracted from one.
Information and Economic warfare should be seen as no different than physical warfare with weapons. (That is the crux of 4G and 5G warfare as is officially acknowledged in militaries today)

Google & Apple provide asymmetrical resources to 1 group (Pakistani Govt.) over the other (Ahmidiyas). This is no different than the US selling weapons only to the Saudis but not to Yemen.

The Saudi situation is clearly seen by everyone as morally deplorable. However, Google and Apple aren't subjected to any scrutiny.

I don't expect profit oriented companies to have any morals. However, Tech companies have spent an entire years of marketing expenses towards virtue signalling and claiming to be the ones who uphold morals. They have dug their own graves, now they must lie in it. They will deserve every twitter and internal storm created by a fresh scandal.

If McKinsey had blood on its hands for causing the Opioid epidemic, then so do Google and Apple for the persecution of the Ahmediyas. (Note: Ahmediyas are the only strictly peaceful sect of Islam. They are not militant insurrectionists or actively traitorous in a manner that would warrant violent reaction)
No need to make accusations. It's just that the problem the article describes is with UHS, not with taking police out of the response to mental health issues and homelessness.

No. but the citizens should be able to bypass unjust laws and Apple and Google have no business preventing that.

The soviets didn't buck elite exploitation. Not for long and not by much.

If you think native elites are exploitative, I have news about foreign elites who have conquered you.
For this age range, the survival rate for everyone is 99.98%. It'd be even higher if your screened aggressively for comorbidities / general health and provided everyone with top notch healthcare knowing in advance they have been exposed.

I would sign up for this in a heartbeat. Not only for the cash payment -- but you'd be a local hero and you could feel good for the rest of your life about taking a small risk to save the lives of many ill or elderly people.
I was thinking the same thing. My son is an athlete, but he used to not eat really well. So I tried to get the diet used from other elite athletes, but I quickly learned that they often had terrible diets. So you ask, if Lebron James was raised on this diet then how bad could it be?

Coincidentally, what made him into a healthy eater is that he found that food with lots of sugar and fat made him feel worse. Oddly, it doesn't happen to me at all, but he grew to be sensitive to it for some reason that we never understood. But he eats extremely healthy, if not a bit bland, now -- and is a great athlete.
Seems like you solve this by only having stores in lower-crime areas.
You can't show that it's okay to leave, because you won't be there anymore to correct the narrative told about you.
We do get people that stupid here occasionally, so I didn't read it as a joke. Poe's law, etc. Ed: FWIW, I didn't downvote.
You're right, it does seem like a strong counterexample. But I'm not sure how cops would fix this one directly either - they surely can't station an officer at the store all the time.

Part of my point is that they spend so much time on things like traffic tickets and civil forfeiture, little time is left for actually prosecuting these criminals.

I wouldn’t say the market has spoken for glass. It was underpowered, expensive, and ahead of its time (not to mention stigmatized socially). Kinda like saying the market had spoken for the iPad because the Newton wasn’t successful.

I agree that a smartwatch is a better passive HUD (although it is not really “heads up”...), but there was certainly more functionality in the glass than passive HUD + head mounted camera.

I’m curious if you bought one?
> Very few people regret doing that

Hmmm... well, I won't say that I necessarily regret it, but I was a bit trigger-happy in job-hopping right after college. It was the late 90's and programming jobs were REALLY easy to find, so if there was literally anything I didn't like about the job I had, I'd just go get another one. I ended up with four jobs in four years - and then when I decided to bail the fourth time, interviewers started noticing that I'd never been at one place longer than a year. I adopted a three-year policy after that - I'd keep a job for a minimum of three years before looking for another one. Even so, this actually came up during an interview (for a job I didn't get) just a few years ago even though it was 20 years in the past.

Yes, mobile support is the Holy Grail here.

It's not just Monaco... pretty much all the available text editor components (beyond a plain raw textarea) suck bigly on mobile.

Editing structured text on a phone is always going to suck to some degree, so it's always nice to see anything that promises to make it suck less.

Oh wow, I didn't even realize that was who wrote this article. One time I was debugging an insane USB issue and diving deep into the usb stack of the kernel (it turned out it was a hw bug, but that's another story) and out of desperation emailed the usb kernel mailing list for tips, and GKH responded to me.

Anyone who is deeply knowledgeable about USB automatically has serious cred in my book. That rabbit hole just about killed me.

Here's an AMA GKH did a while back if you want to get to know him better: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/2ny1lz/im_greg_kroah...
Sponsoring/buying things in exchange for kite promotion seems to be their MO - there was quite a bit of noise about the more brazen instances of it a while back when the used existing editor extensions to push their product or telemetry code (see e.g. https://theoutline.com/post/1953/how-a-vc-funded-company-is-... and HN discussions about "kite")
Interesting results, but this seems like a rather small sample - 276 hospitalized patients. Id like to think we have enough data now to analyze these things more holistically, but I guess not?
I think the big difference is that Homebrew, unlike Facebook, is open-source (and doesn't have a huge trove of data to protect, leading them to go after third-party clients).

It's plausible that you could just write a front-end that keeps using the same remote package repository, that fixes everything you complain about.

I suppose it depends on what exactly your complaints are, but most of the complaints here (CLI, auto-update, etc) seem like they could be addressed with just a client fork.

The founder and main developer has shared some of his thoughts in this matter here: https://marijnhaverbeke.nl/blog/sustainable-maintenance.html

He has put thousands of hours into these projects, and are giving them away for free – that is, if you can stomach the slight hint that if you're making money on it, then maybe contribute a tiny bit.

He hasn't blogged about burnout yet, like many other open source maintainers do. A recurring theme is about toxic community members. I hope he scrolls past your comment.
May I direct you to Language Log, a blog of professional linguists and grammarians whose archives will be only too happy to disabuse you of this daft old prescriptivist nonsense?

Recently interviewed with a couple of startups from Toronto. 95-110k seems to be the offer range (6 yoe dev Java, node, react). I wasn't aware that anyone could make above 120k in Canada as a tech IC.
No one binge-eats a bag of apples. You can't really divorce the nature of the food from overconsumption.
Completely disagree. There's a tendency these days to say that because you can't quantify better-ness, things can't be better. Which isn't true at all; betterness can be subjective or heuristic or approximate.

Of course, saying something is better than something else is always prefixed with an implicit "I believe that...", so it's fine to argue with it. But that doesn't mean it's an illegitimate thing to say.
That depends - is software quality, especially security, a relevant part of "better organization"?

I want to use Firefox, but when I use it, mobile or desktop, I notice a lot of page-induced crashing bugs or severe rendering errors (e.g., things that absolutely look like pointer discipline issues, blocks copied into the wrong area, etc.), which makes me extremely uncomfortable using it, as those crashes may be exploits in waiting, and there are a lot of them.
If you think carefully, you may realize that what you said is actually entirely unrelated to what I said.

Perhaps you are not one of the people running on the unexamined assumption. I still say it's clearly operative in many people.

I call it "unexamined" precisely because once pulled up the conscious level, it is obviously false. Nevertheless, pulling such things up to the conscious level is not easy and usually takes effort. Or, to put it another why, while I cringe every time I adopt this terminology, Kahneman's System 1 is pretty sloppy about such things. System 2, when presented with a problem directly, can often see quickly that System 1 is being irrational... but it first must be presented with the problem directly.
For one, not being able to use Google or Apple products would be such a hit to the modern way of life that people might become less complacent. To be very clear, I am not blaming the people in any way for the situation they are in, but it makes sense that people would be more likely to stand up to tyranny when something very important to them is swiftly taken away. Even the simple act of taking a stance against these practices might inspire people to fight for their freedom.

Now, of course, all of these are small chances and all the ususl caveats of revolutions apply, but surely G&A continuing to do business there benefits nobody but themselves?
It seems to me considerably more likely that they mixed up a batch of un-enriched bucatini, which they sell elsewhere. Or perhaps they got a bad batch of flour on the day they were making bucatini.

Either makes way more sense to me than the bucatini die somehow removing iron from the flour. I'm hardly an expert, of course, but it seems doubtful to me.
I think the trouble is define 'high fat diet'

What kind of fats are we talking about exactly. Trans-fats? Rancid fats. Fats in cured meat? Fats from seed oils? What kind of seeds? Vegetable fats? If so again what kind? Maybe you think olive oil is okay. What if I told you 90% of olive oil is adulterated? Animal fat? What's that animal been eating?

The last one is interesting. Before WWII frozen chicken really wasn't a thing because frozen chicken tasted rancid after it was thawed. Someone figured out you could fix that by switching the feed from linseed to corn.
"The first principle is that you must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool."
The difference however is that this article is based on the scientific method, and the go into the woods and gather herbs is based on mythology.

Now the reasonableness of experimenting on yourself, even in a scientifically "valid" way, is certainly arguable. But the elements are all there; Theory of the Immune system, Hypothesis that it can be trained in this way, experiment that trains immune system in a known with with the experimental training element.

As others have pointed out, the immune system is designed to kill cells it doesn't like. And it has been demonstrated in other scenarios that it can target cells that are vital to one's survival, resulting in death when the immune system targets and kills those cells.

Thus the risk in the experiment is that it will successfully invoke an immune response, it just won't be the one that was anticipated.

Not surprisingly, this is the whole point of animal trials to get a feel for what might happen.

Pakistan is as much a democracy as Bhutan or China.

Every (I do not exaggerate, you can actually check, since 1970) ex-leader of Pakistan was either assassinated, imprisoned or in exile.

Pakistan is military state, with the thinnest facade of democracy. The only people who are allowed to run are those who are already endorsed by the military.

I am not sure what you mean by ‘the scientific method is slow’. Compared to what, really? Just winging it?
But I think I see what you mean. And yes, science do take time. From discoveries in basic science, all the way to clinical trials and then treatment approval, there is significant lead time. And, of course, it is especially sad for those who suffer when treatment seem to be just around the corner.

But the alternative is surely worse; to not test, to not review or to base treatment on other things than facts.

And, one more thing. The speed at which we have scienced the shit out of Covid (the amount of science that we have done in response to this virus) is, at least to me, astounding. If we succeed, which it looks like we will, to win this battle using the vaccines which are already available, it, not only, is in favour of science in fact being very quick, but could also be considered one of humanities greatest feats.
I have no doubts about the safety of vaccines in healthy people. I have some harmless curiosity about people who are not known to be healthy. How do you actually determine if someone is "too immunocompromised" for a vaccine?

This must be a question with no good answer.
Even Apple has struggled to deliver great stage presentations post-Jobs.

> I was thin as a kid, and gained weight only in my 30's, for no reason that I could figure out.

That's pretty commonplace. But there are things happening that nobody tells you about. I can't fit into the pants I wore in my 20's anymore (not for a long time). But I don't weigh that much more. Being observant, I noticed that men over 30 simply did not have the slim hips that younger men do.

Googling it confirmed my suspicions - your hip bones grow wider as an adult, by a fair chunk.

I've also noticed my shoe size is larger as well.
Really? Those are all just buzzwords? Do you really believe that?
It would probably be safer for him to actually get covid than develop your own diy vaccine...
I don't think I have the ability. I can, however, say with a some certainty that retribution is not principal component of justice, because a moment's consideration shows more considerations at play.

The whole idea seems to be that you don’t need to care about the platform. You use the same .nix file to start a shell with a custom environment on Linux, Darwin and Windows WSL. Even aarch64 is fully supported and all binary packages are built for it as well, so even on the M1 Macs it should just work.

Granted, I didn’t try any of this yet, but the more I read about it, the more I want to. You can even build docker images from the .nix file so the CI/CD pipeline will have the exact same environment as all the dev machines.
I know some people object to biohacking like this, but I'm not convinced that we should be concerned. In general I believe that, in a free society, people should be allowed to do as they please as long as their actions don't endanger or harm others. There's a lot of nuance and caveats there, though. Perhaps this is one?

I guess I don't see an inherent problem with vaccine hacking. I'm reminded of the person who biohacked their lactose intolerance by doing gene modification on their gut. Even though it's not something I'd experiment on myself with, I was happy to learn from someone else's experience. And they're only endangering themselves; that experiment didn't pose a threat to anyone else or society.

There's perhaps an argument that these kinds of things do have an impact on others, because it might convince others to follow the author's footsteps. Well I highly doubt any joe or jane shmo is going to homebrew a vaccine. This is so niche that only a scarce few would even have the capability to do it. And again, if someone wants to do something stupid to themselves, who am I to stop them?

The only real danger is these homebrew vaxxed people mixing with herd immunity. But that's easily handled by only recognizing government approved vaccines. You're welcome to vax yourself, but if you want access to restricted public activities you'll need an official vaccine. Or if we mandate vaccination (for example the required immunizations at school), again you need an official vaccine.

But if you want to homebrew vaxx yourself against the yearly flu, or even want to homebrew vax COVID-19 and get the official one later when it's more available, I don't see the problem with any of that.

I'm mostly curious for rebuttals to this logic. Are there serious concerns about biohacking like this that I'm missing? Or is this one of the caveats where, even though it doesn't pose a danger to others, it's a serious enough danger to self that we should intervene?

P.S. As a side note, while reading this article I couldn't help but imagine a future where every hospital has a "vaccine machine" which gets fed raw materials and spits out the vaccine de jure on demand. That seems doable with this radvac protocol. It can download the latest approved peptide sequences, assemble and purify the peptides and mix up a vaccine. A vaccine 3D printer of sorts. Or maybe mRNA vaccines can be made this way? You come in once a year, the machine looks up your records and downloads a list of virus genomes from the past year that you hadn't been vaccinated against. Prints out the custom set of mRNA sequences, mixes it up, and you inject it. That's the future I'm far more interested in than a future where everyone biohacks themselves with instructions downloaded from vaccinebay.
