Same thought, I think this is part of political cover for the failing (in comparison) vaccination effort's in continental Europe.

...and presumably also the point of the comment it was responding to.
I find this awfully thin. About every device that does TOTP by default takes its time from the network provider, and lets the user set the correct timezone, and makes it even really easy to do so. Since most DST settings for timezones in the world are quite predictable (yes I am aware that there are few that have last-minute changes, but most don't, especially not in developed nations), most people never have to adjust their timezone because of DST.

Though I do suspect that Google Authenticator even has some logic to reduce these problems, since you can "sync" its time in the settings.

Sure, but that utility also carries massive costs: the infrastructure and tooling required to work with those schema definitions, especially as they change over time. It's certainly not the case that the benefits always, or even usually, outweigh those costs.
These are always nice little sites to have around, but they can't really grow much in popularity before users start abusing them to distribute illegal things at which point the site has to start doing more and more content moderation or be shut down.
I agree Bitcoin is the least of anyone's worries from an energy perspective. The politicians just need some excuse to take on cryptocurrency, and the green argument smells like the kind of thing they'd latch onto.
How to Plan a release of an open source project
I realize that you might want to view your friends in a positive light but what I wrote is an accurate description of GamerGate (A lot of us saw this unfold, too). “ethics in journalism” was their favored excuse but the real cause was always the seething hatred for feminists and women not knowing their place. They ignored contemporaneous real ethical issues and focused on known-inaccurate excuses for the continued hate mob - for example, you’re still repeating their claim that Zoe Quinn slept with Nathan Grayson for good reviews, despite him not reviewing her games – something easily verified for anyone who cared to check.

Well actually, it can actually be more advanced with GraphQL. In fact GQL clients have the ability to invalidate caches if it knows the same ID has been deleted or edited and can in some cases even avoid a new fetch.

That being said some of those advanced use cases may be off by default in Apollo.
They have been very visible a year ago (jeez, it's been a year already, what a time to live in), but people got mightily desensitized to this. 300 more deaths? Meh. In the other news, the sun continues to rise every morning.

Until of course it's yourself, a family member, or a friend that joins the rank of those 300.
Learned that at Google, for each service method, introduce individual Request and Response messages, even if you can reuse. This way you can extend without breaking.

Also never reuse old/deleted field (number), and be very careful if you change the type (better not).

> even a week's delay in vaccinating [may] predictably increase the number of deaths in a country

The big impact is not a few days of delay. The big impact is the loss of trust in this vaccine in the general populace.

> I'm assuming that these decisions aren't political and are genuinely being taken for medical reasons. I mean, I sure hope so.

Obvious disclaimer: I'm not a medical expert.

However, I wouldn't be so sure it's a wise decision. I primarily trust Karl Lauterbach's [1] opinion on these matters, and he is actively criticizing the move on Twitter as an overreaction [2].

[1] Karl Lauterbach is the director of an institute for epidemiology at a German university and also a member of the German Federal parliament for the Social Democrats (who are part of the current coalition).

Why would you think it is any different? ERCOT was recommended to protect its power generation capabilities from severe winter weather for over 10 years, yet the Republican leadership did nothing about it. That's either corruption or sheer ineptitude.
Also interesting is that this problem is used as the example in the book "Exercises in Programming Style" by Cristina Videira Lopes. It shows this problem solved in 33 different programming styles, for example historical, function composition, data-centric etc.

From the numbers I saw, the problems with AZ seem to affect only a very small portion of people.

It kind of feels like people are only now reading the note that comes with a drug. And we are using these drugs on millions of people, so yeah even the one in a million complications will start to show.

It sure seems that AZ is singled out on that so. And I really wonder why. Because it sure is getting into dangerous territory by now that we are artificialy limiting our vaccine availability.
The difference being that there is no evidence yet to point towards vaccinations causing these, while there is plenty evidence for covid. Further, there is plenty of evidence for the lost lives by NOT vaccinating faster.
This would be my last straw with Mozilla. I've been peeved about Chromium forks for ages, but if Firefox isn't going to even try to be a good alternative, neither should I.
for sure, I don't appreciate the sometimes breathless coverage of current events. but unless you object to the existence of buying guides entirely on a tech news site, I don't find much issue with them. it's less dry than similar articles on anandtech, but usually consistent with them and the other hardware review sites. it's definitely not like wirecutter, where I usually find myself scratching my head when I see the recommended product for a domain I'm actually familiar with.

Is that obvious? If you have the choice between self quarantining and trying to avoid contracting a virus that, if contracted, has a low percentage of killing you, vs choosing to get a vaccine that also has a low percentage of killing you, why would you choose the vaccine?
The Wikipedia article certainly does not make clear which parts are fact and which are legend. There is a disclaimer early on, but after that, many statements are made and some of them are obviously factual, while others are related to the myth. After all, the building was built and it is 4 stories tall.

Was the legend just that the original plan was accurate, but misleading, when it could have been that the original plans actually represented a much larger building? Were there not really investors who claimed to have been misled? Was there a lawsuit or not? Seems like there should be some record of that if it happened.

If in fact the majority of these facts are possibly just made up or of questionable origin, there should be no discussion of the details beyond the statement that there is a local legend and its general substance. The detailed accounting of it should be omitted entirely, or moved to a subheading that delineates the entire discussion of the urban legend apart from the verifiable facts.

Eastern Europe used to be under USSR influence, which made English language education a rarity. Russian and French were much more popular. The public signs often had French as foreign language, not English.

Older generations often know some French, Russian,German and even Spanish but rarely know any English. Minorities often speak the language of the country they live in, their mother tongue and 1 or 2 of the language listed above.

For younger generation it’s completely different of course, most speak the local language, the mother tongue and English + the language of the country they work if they are working abroad.
I'm not sure at this point. When it was one suspicious death, countries suspending the vaccine definitely seemed like an overreaction, and unfortunately this particular vaccine has been something of a political football and subject of a lot of noise.

But as more blood-clot deaths emerge... you gotta think caution is wise.

OTOH yes, we in the UK have administered a lot of this stuff, and you'd think someone would have noticed a serious side effect like this. So far reports from the UK seem to show no greater incidence of blood clot problems than would be expected without the vaccine.

Difficult to call, but I hope it's all being investigated thoroughly.

As I read the article two lower courts in Austria do think the argument passes legal muster:

> The two lower Courts in Austria however took the view that is solely in Facebook's discretion to claim a term to be a "contract" or "consent". Consequently they saw no issue with Facebook's bypass, but also held that the matter needs clarification by the Supreme Courts.

Am I misunderstanding something?
You keep ignoring the author literally opening it up as an avenue in:

>I’m sure there’s further you could go with the C version: investigate memory-mapped I/O, avoid processing byte-at-a-time, use a fancier data structure for counting, etc. But this is quite enough for now!

This subthread started with bluetomcat talking about the optimized C and what experienced C devs might do. That strikes me as fair game to open up discussion of alternative IO anyway even if the author hadn't already (which he clearly did, as quoted). So, that's two reasons it's worth bringing up, and I was never criticizing your program!

If what you are on about is "Who wins what scorecard against what arbitrary constraints" or "My hands were tied, really!" or whatever, then, sorry, but this benchmark is too uncontrolled for great answers even on its own terms. Various stdio-using things would be "out of constraints" if a system was configured with bigger than 64K default buffers anyway which is certainly possible, if unlikely, today. None of the sample programs or the test harness "check" for that. Some of the languages may not be able to ensure it. Using that to leapfrog to "only streams" is a stretch. Is CPU freq scaling controlled? Min of N trials to filter background noise/get repeatability? Even simple mean+-sdev? No, no, and no. And probably four more things.

Beyond all of that, I also don't think that's what this subthread was ever about. bluetomcat's opening was literally the opposite - equivalent to "real devs would do xyz implicitly independent of the arbitrary constraints posed if performance is paramount"..seemingly a follow up on my quote from the author. He can of course chime in if I misread that. Presumably, the author would have had to relax that already problematic 64K constraint when moving on to mmap (which moving on he might have done if the article were fewer languages or if he had just done it that way first in his open coded C).

The positions you seem dug into here seems to me "don't mention mmap to people questioning the posing of the contest even though the author did" or "you cannot default to mmap and fail over like fstat||mmap||do_streams||aiie_noStdInEven". Yes, which is faster varies by OS/situation. So? Maybe "experienced" C/whatever devs know their situation. (You use mmap in ripgrep...). Maybe these are all honest communication errors, but I don't think your positions are very tenable.

As I mentioned in a few places, performance conclusions here are harder than they might look. As for "distractions", one might say that about literally all the optimized variants, including their numbers in the table since the numbers are likely to change more. The article might be stronger to focus on only the simple variants of all the rest, leaving the optimized ones for the github repo and weird "contest rule" debates on the github issues.

Anyway, to add a little more actual information for passersby less dug in to defending some weird position like "", Nim's stdlib has a trie in critbits module. So, that test is "in bounds" and an easy experiment someone might enjoy.

Have a nice day.
Well, you see fifty years a few thousand birth defects occurred because one drug was approved too fast. Therefore millions now have to needlessly die while perfectly good vaccines go stale.
It's entirely possible a facility is producing vaccine that isn't up to QA standards i.e. a bad batch.

The Irish reasoning for suspending AZ wasn't just because of blood clots but blood clots in the brain which have a completley different severity.
EPYC is a split L3 cache. Any particular core only benefits from 32MBs of L3, the 33rd MB is "on another chip". (EDIT: Zen2 was 16MBs, Zen3 is 32MBs. Fixed numbers for Zen3)

As such, AMD can make absolutely huge amounts of L3 cache (well, many parallel L3 clusters), while other CPU designers need to figure out how to combine the L3 so that a single core can benefit it from it all.
Wholeheartedly agree. Hence it is about trust (my first point) and/or absence of democracy. And this is a bigger issue than encryption, IMHO.
The EU is punishing itself?

- AstraZeneka is part swedish.

- The vaccine is approved and the contracts are signed. No money back for adverse effects.
Typical servers are 1U or 2U high boxes. 1U=44.5 mm and each box is "full depth", so around 700 mm long (sometimes more), and ~450 mm wide. The 1U boxes typically just have a block of copper with a dense bunch of fins on them as a CPU cooler, while 2U designs usually incorporate heatpipes.

Lots of airflow.

High-density systems are usually 2U, but with four dual-socket systems per chassis.

We DON'T trust them. We have about as much say in what those agencies do as a random shop keeper in 1980's USSR does with the KGB.

To be fair, I think the contract between AZ and Oxford University actually restricts them from making a profit for a period of N months/years.

So they are only technically allowed to adjust the price to take into account the different operational costs depending on the manufacturing site.

I said “controversial”.

However, in that entire thread, no one is saying that having large, domesticated animals wasn’t useful.

I’m not saying Diamond was right about everything, I’m saying it seems self-evident that you can get farther down the technology path, faster, if you have more power available.

Animals were a very important part of the power story in pre-industrial times.

Where am I wrong?
It's fine at medium and large scale, too, as long as the service doesn't change its API very much, and/or it doesn't have too many consumers. It only breaks down when managing change becomes too difficult. IMO way way too many people opt in to the complexity of IDL-based protocols without good reason.

I had read that that's not really true, here on HN. I think the thing is that FF refuses to implement some things they think would be bad for security and privacy. They are not saying no to all PWAs. Chrome on the other hand doesn't give a damn and is trying to make the browser an OS.

Prices will rise because of stimulus, but that won't last, Janet Yellen says
Judging by what the German press is writing nowadays about their politicans, especially the populists (and the unionists also) that are increasingly frustrated on the incapability of Germany (and the EU altogether) to handle the COVID situation and deliver a homemade vaccine, without the help of the USA and UK, it doesn't surprise me. It could be politically.
1. Hype up a virus to create a pandemic of fear

2. Hype up fear against the vaccine which would get you out of the pandemic of fear

3. Impose the most outrageous and ridiculous restrictions on people's lives which make it even illegal to see your own family.

4. Control by fear

Anyone who still follows restrictions is not worthy of life.
To put it in perspective, the Intel Xeon 6258R is rated at 205W. Servers have oodles of (likely airconditioned) airflow so this isn't a problem.
Terrific work! IMO the state of programming tutorials and walkthroughs is surprisingly bad and antiquated. I wrote a concept demo a few years ago with some of the same ideas, but based around the Git diff.[0] The basic idea is each different "step" of the tutorial is a new commit, where the commit message is the instructions and the diff is the change in code.

I discovered there is a big advantage to the reader in being able to reference the entire WIP code base at any given time, as well as seeing what code is removed/replaced, which is easily missed but vitally important when building up an idea incrementally.

Happy to see people putting effort into making better tooling in this space.

+1 for on-prem. I tried gitlab.com first but it was very slow (this was years ago, YMMV) but on-prem has been rock-solid and fast for us hosting ~100 projects. One thing I've been surprised by is how easy updates have been, I don't think we've ever had to even reconfigure anything, including runners. I know it seems like that is how it should work, but I've had a lot of opposite experiences with the open source tier of tools.
Good point.

It's too bad that this would be hard to use for anything besides sunrise and sunset, e.g. "breakfast served daily from sunrise+1h to sunrise+6h".

> Doesn't even a week's delay in vaccinating predictably increase the number of deaths in a country

One of the many unknowns about these vaccines is the length of time they give immunity, this can only be determined with confidence by looking at the data after a sufficient amount of time has passed. If the immunity only lasts for say 10-20 weeks, then getting it one week early, would mean the immunity goes away one week early as well. So in this case, I'm not sure there would be a major measurable impact. If the immunity lasts for say 50 weeks, that would be a different story.
it's from their quarterly financial reports. rough estimate. for developing markets they generate about 2$ per user. and in developed markets like $7 per user.
