There's been plenty of suggestion that other EU countries' decision to suspend AZ is somehow a political decision, and not primarily motivated by health concerns.

> Its important to keep perspective.

Yes, it is - on both sides. Just because, as someone here said, "I'm a lever puller" doesn't automatically mean that your opinion is better and more informed than that of health authorities across EU. (note that I'm not accusing you personally of being a "lever puller", I'm just venting about what I perceive to be HN propensity to take risks on other people and dismiss concerns).
That's okay, warranties exist for a reason.

I'm very aware of GA and multivectors and the usual equations that are included in GA texts, like the one-term form of Maxwell's equations. I'm specifically interested in whether you know of a good reason to include the geometric product in all this. It seems to me that for the most part you can do all of the useful stuff without ever mentioning it, and the equations it produces tend to be very awkward (compute something, grade project, compute something else, project again...) -- it's very 'just so', and kinda feels like it's all using the wrong tool. But I haven't figured out what the better tool is yet.
It is also exactly the job of DNNs, to pick up biases. That is literally what they are designed to do.
Pfizer and Moderna use mRNA.
Maybe this kind of vaccines under suspicion should be reserved for those age segments more vulnerable to the virus?

This way we avoid deaths due to Covid and at the same time don't put healthy individuals at risk that would have only mild symptoms due to Covid.
If anyone is curious, one of the Moderna scientists who helped develop their mRNA vaccine had a thread about this when this first made the rounds:

> Let’s talk about immunity and why it’s important to take certain factors into consideration when we look at these studies and maybe why the most recent one on AstraZeneca’s effectiveness on the B.1.351 is a tad bit bothersome. For starters this beauty wasn’t tweeted initially.

> See that last bullet point? The one of T-cell immunity. Yeah, that’s vital. Why? The study failed to discuss this aspect. You cannot disregard T-cells in the same breath you are discussing B-cells, vaccines and their respective induced antibody responses. It’s a package deal.

> T-cells help protect against severe disease. Their analysis shows 76 out of 87 TCB sites (87%) are NOT impacted by the mutations seen in B.1.351. What does this mean? It means the T-cell response generated by AstraZeneca’s vaccine should be highly effective against this variant.

> How are you going to disregard our actual immune systems and their ability to make antibodies for later?
Which may I remind you are DRIVEN by vaccines. They teach our bodies to make antibodies for later, not just during active infection (memory T-cells anyone). That’s immunity!

If I’m not mistaken, this study doesn’t have enough information on severe disease and hospitalisations since there were no cases in either group. I think we still need more information from the looks of it.

That’s all fine and nice, except when the magik doesn’t work and you’re ctrl-clicking for hours trying to figure out what darn annotation is breaking the whole incantation.

Or you realize a that the tiny tiny small configuration change you need isn’t contemplated by the code supporting the auto-magik, so you start adding overrides which turn off the autoconf, and you have to manually configure the whole beast by yourself (discovering all the undocumented gotcha’s along the way.)
You can do the opposite of pump and dump: there is an investment you want to buy, talk it down, buy it low.

> If a client sends keepalive pings too often, servers close the connection. This is to prevent large numbers of idle clients from consuming too many resources.

This is horrible. Let users configure what they choose. If your network needs higher frequency keepalives, why would the authors of the spec try to know better.

I agree with the next statement:

> In my opinion, this means this setting is virtually unusable
> The finding underscores the importance of genomic surveillance

Sounded dystopian until I realized it was in reference to sequencing the virus variants, not the hosts.
Yes, this is such a disingenuous argument when people say PoW incentivises to use more electricity. It doesn't care about electricity, at best.
Also the specific Bitcoin model even incentivises to use less electricity, because for each additional miner that is connected simulateneously, you actually get less paid per GH/(and thus kW), so at a certain point you would just not get paid anything for your electricity.
Negotiate, I guess; on the one side as a good engineer you want the recognition (and pay) that goes with it, so for yourself you should ask for a raise or promotion to a title like idk, "senior principal engineer". But for the leadership skills, you should push to hire a dedicated manager type, who works alongside you and does the people management part.

> Many other countries have bank transfers that require the customer to authorize it (either ahead of time, or synchronously during the transaction, as you describe)

Only half-correct if you're talking about SEPA. Legally, the customer has to fill out a "SEPA direct debit mandate" - but the company initiating the direct debit transfer only has to keep it on file.

I have a business account at my bank, I can theoretically file a direct debit for as much money as I want against any SEPA-reachable bank account (in practice, most banks including mine limit that amount until you can prove, e.g. via presenting a bill, that this is a correct amount) - but if someone disputes it or, worse, files a legal complaint that causes police to investigate and I can't produce that mandate signed/authorized by the customer, I'm in extremely hot water.
C++ had shoddy foundation where adding more stuff is far from trivial.
If we're in the realm of anecdotes, my 71 years old mother only experienced mild tiredness for 2 days.. She described it as the same as if she had been out hiking for half a day.

Definitely a lot less than if she actually had covid.
If you have a harsh reaction to the AZ vaccine (an attenuated/weakened form) then it’s likely you would have had a much more harsh reaction to the unattenuated real virus.

I don’t think it’s been studied so its just a personal theory (ie read this as if it might be nonsense) but i suspect the people with bad reactions to the vaccine are also likely to be the people who would have had a more serious case of the real virus.
It's too easy to hate a company like nvidia. Even if you make things up, they're probably guilty of them.

I'll start to like nvidia when they provide anything remotely similar to the AMDGPU+Mesa experience on linux. Until then, hacking optimus and unstable kernel updates are the norm.
It is a viral dystopia though, they are being persecuted and decimated left and right and have to fight for survival.

Yep. All the duplication is local and it's just a few lines.

Duplication is never pretty, but when it's as local as here, it's pretty much harmless. Duplication that's not obviously duplication, that's a problem. This is not that.

To answer your question, in 3 places, a few lines apart from one another.
My company bifurcates people managers and ICs in engineering roles. Each level has both starting at tech lead/manager. Next is principal/director. Even VP has two tracks, though I have met only one IC VP. SVP and up are always people managers. AFAIK comp is the same. I help my senior engineers and leads understand their preferences and hit the path they want.

Anecdotally...in a very small sample size of three (over 50's) who have had their first AZ shot there have been:
* 1 person with a few chills. lasted one day. no time off work
* 1 person with chills and had to take 1 sick day from work
* 1 person with absolutely no symptoms except for tender arm at the injection spot. i went for a 40 mile bike ride the day after.

I have heard stories of people faring worse. But in my little bubble, the result wasn't too bad.
There's a next stage after annotations. The current thinking is to replace annotations with function calls. It makes more sense if you use Kotlin because Java is a bit verbose when you do this and in Kotlin you get to create nice DSLs. This cuts down on use of reflection and AOP magic that spring relies on and also enables native compilation. It also makes it easier to debug and it makes it much easier to understand what is going on at the price of surprisingly little verbosity. Kofu and Jafu are basically still experimental but work quite nicely https://github.com/spring-projects-experimental/spring-fu/tr...

Another trend is native compilation. Spring native just went into beta (uses the Graal compiler). That still relies on reflection but they re-engineered the internals to be more native friendly.

Spring Boot basically added the notion of autoconfiguring libraries that simply by being on the classpath self configure in a sane way. It's one of those things that makes the experience a bit more ruby on rails like. Stuff just works with minimal coding and you customise it as needed (or not, which is perfectly valid).

Compared to XML configuration, Spring has come a long way. Separating code and configuration is still a good idea with Spring but indeed not strictly enforced. @Configuration classes can take the place of XML and if you use the bean dsl, that's basically the equivalent of using XML. Only it's type checked at compile time and a bit more readable.
yeah it sounds like github went overboard on fake 2020 sensitivism and forgot to turn off the machine after biden was elected
Everyone also saw hundreds of professional players getting positive tests, being asymptomatic and continuing to play at the highest level. I am all in favour of the vaccine (and will take it asap) but the most pathetic thing here is thinking that you will change anyone's opinion by referring to anecdotal evidence, or that someone is pathetic by not doing so. If you really want to contribute positively try to show people proper scientific evidence and don't insult them.
Which, raises a weird question.

If* a small chunk of plutonium can output 1.21GW, then $4.7B in spending seems extremely high, like multiple orders of magnitude high.

If that's the true cost of green electricity then I understand why conservatives have been bullish on the topic.

Though I'd rather use green alternatives and reduce power consumption overall, personally.

* Movie magic could be lying to us, I'm just running with the movie's idea.

EDIT: from cursory checking it seems like plutonium can output 8 gigawatts, holy shit.

EDIT2: Downvoted for asking a question. :\ is it because I said conservatives may have had a point? I can be wrong, don't downvote to disagree.
You are right on the cusp of realizing that any company making a profit has by definition underpaid its workers for the value created. You are SO CLOSE to figuring out that all profit is stolen from workers. Yes even the "rank and file worker bees" that for some reason you think don't deserve payment in relation to the company's income.
It has been a few years since I have used it, but I found k8s a pleasure to work with as a developer for the same reasons you have outlined. The UX of it makes it easy to play with the infrastructure. Working with configs, and using kubectl (with great tab completion) made it feel like I was just controlling a daemon on my system, but it was all of our cloud environments. I could create an environment for demoing a new feature very easily.

That said, I don't know much about setting up or running a cluster, and it seems a bit daunting. I was lucky to have had that setup and maintained by others.
Do you know any non-FOSS repos that can be added to FDroid? On my devices that don't have Google Play Services, I end up going to the APK Pure and APK Mirror websites which are super sketchy and loaded with tracking and ads.

Go is arguably a simplistic language built _around_ a simplistic concurrency model.

Go is twice as old (since initial public release) and still doesn't have decent support for generalized algorithms, for example. They have struggled just as long to come up with a more usable error model.
I never understood the "eye resolution=screen resolution -> good enough argument".

First of all the cone spacing in the fovea is around 31arcsec or about half the arcmin you assume.
IMO that is more relevant than the 20/20 vision number because that number is not based on any intrinsic quantisation of the visual system but rather mostly limited by blur which tends to be very much not gausian -> not an ideal low pass filter for most eyes.

Now consider the nyquist shannon sampling theorem that tells us that any signal we want to fully capture needs to be sampled at at least twice the frequency of the highest frequency of interest.
So if we want to be able to fully represent any state of our visual system on a display we need at least twice the resolution of our visual system (ignoring for a minute that that assumes an ideal lpf which your eye is not as stated above). so already 4x your 1arcmin resolution number.

But that all quickly becomes rather theoretical when you look at jagged elephant in the room: aliasing and scaling!
a lot of what we look at is either rendered with pixel precision being very prone to aliasing at scales that are much much larger than your pixel pitch
(see this worst case demonstration https://www.testufo.com/aliasing-visibility)
or image or video files that might be displayed at a size that isn't an integer multiple or fraction of its native resolution. scaling just like aliasing causes artifacts that go way beyond the scale of your pixel pitch and one way to mitigate the issue is to just have a very high target resolution to scale too.
So yeah I don't thing "can't distinguish individual pixels" is a meaningful threshold and even way beyond that there is still benefit to be had even for those with less than perfect eyesight

Monopolies are also legal. But it's not unusual for industries which are dominated by a small number of players (ie monopolies or oligopolies) to face additional regulation or regulatory action aimed at preventing them from abusing that position, especially when the service provided is viewed as "essential" in some way. I don't think it's an unreasonable position to hold that the app stores should be subject to this type of regulatory oversight.

I feel like this topic has been discussed a lot already, but I think it's important to keep pushing back against useless wasted man-hours like this effort is.

I live in a country that was almost entirely enslaved by foreigners for ~700 years. I've discussed this rename with dozens of engineers in my country. Without exception, every single one of them thinks it's completely ridiculous. We need to keep voicing these thoughts so that decision-makers in large companies have a chance to hear us and realize that they should focus on more useful issues instead.
But there’s almost no point in running Memcached and Nginx on the same machine.
I'm building Scinna (https://scinna.app/)

It aims at being a fully featured server app to share screenshots, and will be having a desktop and android client. The far-far end goal is to have something as good as ShareX but self-hosted and cross platform. The client will feature a toolbox as the one found in ShareX which I really love but with the added benefit of allowing plugins to enrich it

Been on it for half a year more or less, as of today, I've got the API working and a cli client that works well in conjunction with maim, and I'm focusing on the web ui
Any dynamic programming algorithm where n-th item depends on contiguous k ones with some nice binary operation (like +) can benefit from storing the state in a segment tree, so when you go and calculate n-th item, you can get the value in log(n) instead of O(k) (although prefix sums work fine there too if + is involved).

I know also of examples where lazy segment tree is used too.

Segment trees can also be used to decode the kth lexicographic permutation of a sequence of elements in O(n log n) instead of O(n ^ 2).

Here's one variant of the above application: https://www.spoj.com/problems/QUE2/
I'm just trying to understand your point. Are you implying that a majority of Nvidia's customers can't afford to invest $500 in something with inherent risk? Or are you using the term "customers" to mean average people in general? The former doesn't really make much sense to me, considering the majority of Nvidia customers are presumably spending hundreds of dollars on luxury goods.
Funny, "The world doesn't owe you a business model" is exactly what I would say to google and apple about their app stores.

Maybe even the full "The world doesn't owe you a business model, and you can't take away people's rights because you want a better way to sell" even though that invites unproductive sidetracking about to what extent a free market is a right.
Wikipedia Is Finally Asking Big Tech to Pay Up
From my experience, enterprise apps are generally complex because they are a combination of:

- environment: integration of a large amount of services - and a good amount of them are legacy and idiosyncratic

- use case: enterprise app are at the intersection of real life and the virtual world: the rules are messy, illogical and have a baggage of 20/30+ years. Thus they cannot be changed at all. This is IMO the main difference between a "pure" greenfield startup kind of project and the enterprise one.

- add another layer of burocracy and complex environment to navigate

And with that you got the enterprise app world :).

In the end whatever framework is chosen, the most important property is the availability of common language/patterns.
There’s just very little way around it :/ if I want to transfer money between different banks or services it’s usually much faster by giving out your creds. Worse, if I want to do my taxes Turbotax simplifies that whole process tremendously if I give them creds for all my financial services... it’s pretty crazy how much trouble you must be willing to accept to avoid leaking your creds.
Yes, that's often neglected. However this paper states that the lack of severe reactions may be down to the age of participants (around 30 years) so it is basically unknown if it reduces those.

While nowadays I wouldn't touch Spring with a ten foot pole if I had the choice, back then (must have been mid 2000's as well), Spring helped me really develop as a software engineer; everything I know now from (Java-style) interfaces, contracts and unit testing comes from that one six month internship where I was left to my own devices to build an application similar to what Sonar is nowadays (or was a few years ago). I still have the code somewhere, so many comments <_<.

actor state is meant to be read and modified only by the actor itself, which operates off of its own message mailbox (e.g. event queue).

I would expect actors to operate on their own state and on immutable data, and things such as transactional data coordination to be separate.

That said, I don't have nearly the experience with actors as many on HN - are you thinking of a particular actor-based system w.r.t touched state?
I find this extremely concerning - this could be the beginning of a slide into financial dependence on Big Tech companies, not to mention the many conflict of interest issues.

People have choices. They can work for another company, they can start their own business, they can go live in the forest and live off the land. People can do whatever they want.

If they want to get money and work at a specific company, don't claim they are slaves. Amazon makes an offer: hey, if you work here you get X amount, and they accept.

You can claim an employee is a tool for the company, but you can also claim a company is a money generator for an employee. It's a work-money trade between 2 parties. Don't claim it's slavery.
