Yesterday scientists reported that they may have found the underlying cause for these few thrombosis cases:

https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2021/0...

So the AstraZeneca vaccine does seem to trigger thrombosis in very rare cases, caused by a strong immune response. But luckily:

> The German researchers say the good news is that if their theory is correct, this rare adverse reaction to the jab can be identified and treated.

> They say recipients should be on the lookout for unusual bruising, swelling or headaches that start four or more days after getting the vaccination. If identified quickly, they say, the clotting problem can be managed relatively easily by health professionals.
> I wish scientists around the world spent more time on how to properly convince vaccine-skeptics that it's safe AND a good idea to take part.

I completely disagree. I think part of why this anti-science attitude is prevalent is because people acknowledge it an try to respond to it. You should not engage in a conversation about whether vaccines cause autism or whether the earth is flat. You simply enact policies that enforce the right thing. Because this shouldn't be a discussion.

Responding to those people only validates their stance.
Nothing demonstrates why threading can sometimes be black magic better than someone misinterpreting a one sentence, plain English post :)

I read the GP's post as implying that it is not actually that hard. But maybe they did mean that it has changed over time and gotten much more difficult and they're legit asking when that happened?!#

Imagine this level of simple misunderstanding but applied to reading someone else's threading code!

Animats explained the meaning of rejected energy in the diagram below. It's efficiency losses in the entire system (I wasn't aware of this terminology). The actual size of load balancing energy used is quite small.

I didn't know about Seetee but potentially there are some minor opportunities to mine bitcoins (effectively as an on-demand load) to help balance the grid at short time scales. It also makes sense for a Norwegian Energy company to do this. However this is a tiny amount, especially compared to the efficiency losses the author is presenting in the graphic. I looked up some data I had handy right now and I think we are looking at a few percent of the overall energy consumed at most.

Because if you cause 1 death by doing something, it’s your fault and you’ll have to defend yourself. But if you don’t to something and 100 people die, you can just blame something or someone else. In this case then it’s just the fault of those anti-maskers, or whatever group you point at.
> Why? It seems from your quote that people can be removed without a code [...]

Just because someone can be removed from a position of power without a code of conduct does not mean that the process was correct. You can also throw people in jail without a trial, but you shouldn't.

The code of conduct provides a process for people to address grievances. I believe this makes it more likely that grievances get addressed, and reduces the amount of personal bias.

> ...as the FAANGs show us, a written criteria just gets gamed.

I don't think it's easy to game a code of conduct. Could you explain, or give an example?

> The ultimate crime - even above anything in a code of conduct - is not wanting a code of conduct? Is anything else an absolute?

You're confusing "crime" with "not doing a good job". I said that he should be replaced because he wasn't doing a satisfactory job.

His job was to run the FSF and the GNU project. He was doing that job poorly. Therefore, he should step down and let someone else run it.

Honestly, I think that some of these problems could have been avoided if he made a stronger distinction between the GNU project and the FSF. He could have handed management of the GNU project off to someone else and focused more on the FSF, which is where his strengths lie.

Not wanting a code of conduct is not a "thoughtcrime". It's just bad policy for large projects. "Bad" as in "incompetent", not as in "morally wrong".
To be blunt, I think a lot of people here misuse autism. The autistic person I had to deal with a lot of times had "difficulty" with social cues in that he was an adult that had no idea of not standing by others when they were working, would endlessly repeat things, was more or less impossible to hold a conversation with, etc. We more or less had to babysit him as impromptu caretakers.

It isn't "oh, I don't know how to read a room." Even granting high function, I feel people use autism in the same way as they do OCD; it's not something you use "neurodivergent" with seriously.

Like generally there's a lot of disability chic or identity these days; but moderate autism makes it incredibly hard to act in daily life in the same way moderate OCD does. If it's significant enough, it's not just someone being brisk or unempathetic in the same way OCD doesn't mean being a neat freak.
They're successful because they own the land around the stations. This is where all the real money is made.

Personally I'd like to see a quick start guide e.g. [1] shows me the bare minimum code needed to get it to work. I'm not a fan of projects that simply use one-liners like `docker run [link]` because it tells me nothing about what I (a developer) will see in my potential future workflow.

It would also be nice to see a comparison (performance, ease of use, etc.) with other frameworks on why I should use it vs whatever else comes up on Google

I think README's purpose isn't to be entertaining. As such, I really don't see an issue with the linked README.
Yep this.

If you actually stop and think about the value of a life in a real sense instead of from an abstract or monetary perspective, you're either absolutely horrified by all of this and your path is clear, or you're a monster.

For the past year I just look at my wife and look at my kid and imagine what it would be like to lose them. I would do _anything_ to protect them. I know what losing other family members to COVID feels like. I've seen first hand what it does to people (friends and family).

Almost every one of those five hundred and fifty thousand people (in the US alone) that have died from COVID meant just as much to someone. I want to afford them the same respect and put in at least a minimal effort to protect their family just the same.

To me, any argument based around what essentially amounts to an inconvenience being too much to ask to prevent those deaths just makes me disgusted. Dressing it up in some rationality by demanding absolute and incontrovertible scientific proof of efficacy is nothing but a flimsy excuse.

Approaching all of this with some empathy makes it easier on yourself and leads to better outcomes for everyone. I'm not stuck at home in the face of statistics and arguments about how I should be able to do whatever I want and damn everyone else paying the consequences. I'm at home because I don't want people to suffer.

It sucks some days, but it's easy to keep going when I know it could be the reason _my own child_ doesn't grown up without a father. It's easy to keep going when it could be the reason someone else doesn't have to go through that either.

So I lost a year of hanging out with friends and had to cut my hair in the utility sink instead of going to the hair dresser. That's such a small fucking price to pay relative to what this could cost someone it's not even a fucking question.
If that business value destroys trust in their main business, that's a problem.

A suggestion: keep stuff boring.

When one is stuck on a problem, maybe with the deadline or angry boss axe pending on her head, last thing she needs is fancy stuff, emojis, gifa or having to sort through marketing crap (not your case but I've seen plenty of those in "fancy projects")

Ask HN: Software or Firmware Engineers in Formula 1 industry?
I just finished "drive to survive season 3" in two days after its release. While the documentary focuses on the dramatic politics in F1 and the mentality of the drivers, I always want to know more about the engineering team that involves.

Obviously there are mostly mechanical engineers, which is not my main interest.

All the teams are constantly collecting data from every part of the car during the races. There must be many sensors throughout the cars, right? They must need some software engineers to provide a good monitor/analyzer and embedded-system software engineers to do the firmware stuff.

Can any one share some F1 experiences?
I think the issue would be literally finding the supply chain and engineers to actually make it work.

> When we apply "toxic" to a person or his behaviour, we borrow that seriousness. That's why we choose that specific, strong words with a well-known meaning.

So, you knew what the meaning of "toxic" was all along, but you pretended to not know what the meaning was in order to make some kind of point? I would prefer a direct discussion.

> I oppose calling "I disagree with your world view" toxic. A serial killer might deserve the term.

Mr. X isn't toxic for his world view, it's his actions--his actions are to call people stupid over their religious beliefs.

Stallman isn't "toxic" for writing a couple essays or emails, but you could argue that he's toxic for the way he treated people over the past decades.

Collectives are fundamental to human society and always have been. Even hunter gatherers lived and still live in communities. These pre-date the "free market" (no idea why you introduce this) and will outlive it.

For a project like this, I'm not sure that 'boring' is a bad thing. There's a link to documentation and relatively little fluff. In my game development repo's, I have an image, because it's reasonable to judge a game by it's visuals.

If diagrams (like those produced by draw.io) could be used to better communicate how incubator-age functions and why it is important, you could use them, but I don't think you need to.

It still uses PHP which I’m comfortable with. It has a brilliant editor. It has brilliant plugins. In its default state it is very customisable. I have a few very low traffic sites - one hit the front of Hackaday [1] - but using a static site plugin I didn’t have any issues at all.

I’m still dubious about installing plugins willy-nilly, and I usually keep to the default themes for a bit of added security, and I’ve had some issues in the past with unauthorised access but my site is pretty resilient to attacks now thanks to some custom coding.

> You can be a university professor. You can be funded by grants.

I actually have a bunch of friends that I went to college with, who all have PhDs now. Getting a tenure track position is nearly impossible. Also, grants are extremely hard to get. They’re all working either: (1) as postdocs (where there is a grant funding it), or worse (2) looking for a postdoctoral or tenure-track position (or have lost a postdoc position because the grant ran out). These things are incredibly hard to do.

> You can have a job working for a non-software company that lets you produce free software for that company's use that you can also give away, while they keep paying your salary.

If the plan is abolish proprietary software, there’s not gonna be a lot of companies making money selling software, ie making software. So do you mean some hardware company that needs to write some specific software for its needs?

I suppose there could be a world where most/all software is free (in GNU terms), but you’d end up with almost everything becoming web-based SaaS, and that would be the commercial model. (I mean, we’re already pretty close to that.)

Universal basic income requires a tax base of highly productive, and high earning taxpayers. Just look at the economic contribution of software and technology companies. If the government were to take a wrecking ball to that literal economic powerhouse, how significantly would the tax base shrink by?

Based on much of what I read the last time around with this mess, it seems to me, though, that RMS just doesn't care. It's one thing to be genuinely confused what's appropriate and what's not, but it's another to just not care. It seems like people tried many, many times to set clear boundaries for him, but he continued to blow right through them.

Was that a fault of his, or a fault of his neuroatypical brain? I don't know enough about him or his situation to know. But does it matter? I do think that intent and context matters, but often the bad outcome is the same regardless of intent. The consequences should be different between intentional and unintentional harm, but there still should be consequences either way.
You probably found a co-worker's underhanded speed-bump meant to be taken out before the next annual performance review.
Fixing the problem is only half of it, you need to make a commitment to a comprehensive and transparent review of the engineering practices that allowed this to go to production. And fully disclose how long it has been going on.

It doesn't really matter that they have one more reason. The tinfoilhat-crowd (we call them 'wappies' in Dutch) will latch onto anything. If not this, then something else will take its place; the supply of bogus arguments is inexhaustible.

What matters is that the concerns the general populace may have are addressed, and usually they are. A GP who takes the time to get to know their patients and allay any concerns about vaccination in general is much more important to be able to reach the people who may have read weird things on social media, but are not in full-out wappie-teritory.
Just fog. Clicking around on the timeline (5h+ by now) allows you to see the various stages.
Yeah, but then you need cavas and WebGL to draw and there isn't any way to know if they are actually being hardware accelerated, or if the browser vendor decided to blacklist the users hardware.

People say things like this about people who get killed by cops for minor offenses and such. I think people shouldn't be jerks, and should learn from mistakes, but this sounds more like revenge than a true reckoning. If the guy did something illegal, that's one thing, call the cops. He shitposted right wing crap, that's just idiocy maybe, but not illegal.

There can be a very fine line. A few years ago I worked with someone who was a bullying objectionable arse especially to younger staff.

To me, this rings similar to people who argue against eating animals with "but what if you're starving and alone on a deserted island?!" (and no, that's not a straw-man)

I think you conflate these two things somewhat:

Of course there are always extreme situations when people are left with tough decisions and have to choose between "doing the right thing" and sustaining themselves and their family.

Separately, there are egotistic people who will disregard the consequences of their actions on others. For those who only care about themselves, it is hard to change things without changing incentive structures.

Finally, some are just ignorant because they don't know or didn't think it through deeply.

Neither of these are justifications to look the other way for those who can find employment either way and are choosing between an $80k job and a $200k job.

This reminds me of the trip I took to Iceland in 2010. Just on the day we were about to fly back home we were instructed to turn on the Hotel TV, which was showing very eerie video footage of Eyjafjallajökull erupting. The stark emergency chyron combined with the vague video footage gave us a very unsettled feeling.

Then we walked into the lobby where some 80s pop was playing, the staff was cheery and asked what we'd like to have for breakfast because we'd probably fly home a few hours delayed. I guess you become unflappable when you literally live on top of volcanoes :)

On the Iceland Air flight home we watched a very interesting documentary about the Eldfell eruptions in 1973. It's really fascinating, although I can't seem to find a link to the docu. See also: https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2017/01/the-eldfell-erupti...
