I completely agree with you in principle. However, if there are potential damages involved, it's hard to argue that you're not increasing your exposure by delaying or deferring the correction. (Again IANAL and this ain't legal advice.) Lawsuits aren't to be taken on a whim. Even if you ultimately prevail, the affair can change your life, and not for the better. So I can't blame anybody who wants to skip the lawyer and minimize their exposure, even if doing so angers a large number of developers—to whom they have no formal obligation.

Serious question: How is a mRNA vaccine different from getting a cold, where the cold virus, which is mostly genetic material wrapped up, induces your cells to produce it?

Well, the mRNA vaccine only produces some parts of a whole virus, so it seems less risky. What makes it more risky, in your assessment?

Show HN: Arc, an open-source Databricks alternative
After being frustrated with building 'traditional' ETL (Extract-Transform-Load) pipelines - and around the same time as the famous 'Engineers Shouldn’t Write ETL' blog post - we started building a framework/toolkit to allow Technical Business Analysts to be able to build reliable data pipelines without much developer support: Arc. This has been implemented as a Jupyter Notebooks extension.

Arc is declarative and currently targets the Apache Spark execution engine but the abstracted API allows replacing execution engines without having to rewrite the logic or intent of the pipeline in future. It supports parameterized notebooks to build complex pipelines which can be executed in CICD environments for safe deployment.

We would be interested to hear your feedback.

I'm not sure how many tech workers didn't already have some kind of desktop computing arrangement at home but I have to imagine it's a miniscule number.

Hey there! I designed and implemented PyPI's tokens (although not the secret scanning integration).

They're actually just macaroons[1] internally, which means that they could easily be upgraded at some point to include a reporting URL like you mention.

Just as a tidbit: they were originally prefixed with "pypi:" rather than "pypi-", but that colon caused problems for a few packaging utilities. Any sort of in-band signaling like that is unlikely to gain widespread adoption for exactly that reason :-)

In that case, why not use some auxiliary function to load the resources (in your case, the database) and decorate it with functools.cache[0] to avoid the function from getting executed multiple times? Sure, this means re-using resources between multiple tests (which is discouraged for good reasons) but your current test effectively does the same thing, the only difference being that everything is being tested inside one single test function.

PS: How come your setup and teardown operations are so expensive in the first place? Why do you even need to set up an entire database? Can't you mock out the database, set up only a few tables or use a lighter database layer?

Apple M1 is on TSMC 5nm; Ryzen 3 is on TSMC 7nm and Intel is famously still on an (advanced) 14nm process.

A big chunk of Apple's power advantage (which can translate to better perf as well, since the key limits are thermal) can be attributed to the process node, though we won't know how much for sure until we get an apples to apples comparison. I agree with Gap, retaining the process node advantage will help sustain and entrench the perception that Apple's chips are better, easing the transition.

> Personally, I think people generally overweight the importance of the Perl 6 announcement, and underweight the impact of Apache's mod_php in shifting usage away from Perl.

I'll agree with this... conditional. The overweight of the importance of the Perl 6 announcement also had a change in the release cadence of perl5.

Prior to the perl 6 announcement, there was a release of perl 5 every year - sometimes multiple releases in a year.

With the announcement of perl 6 in July of 2000 - there wasn't another release until 2002... and then the next in 2007... and then the next in 2010.

That decade of stagnation when everyone was waiting for perl 6 shouldn't be underweighed either.

This also coincided with the rise of php and Java with application servers during which there wasn't any significant of perl in a web serving environment. And while there were web application frameworks for Perl (Catalyst in '05, Mojolicious in '08, Dancer in '09)... that was too little, too late.

And the web has become the dominant story for how applications run - not scripts.

Perl lost development mindshare at a time when the "how things work" was undergoing a major shift. Raku remains a language designed for scripts rather than delivering data to other systems. The rise of Docker for serving may give Raku some reprieve - but so much effort has already been focused elsewhere. I don't see Raku with Cro being a compelling alternative for a new developer over Spring Boot or NodeJS.
And they will lose people over this.
> "Having 80% of all supply in Asia simply isn't a palatable manner for the world to have its view of the most critical technology," Mr Gelsinger said.

Eh, the whole set of FAANG plus Intel itself is based on American West Coast, and this guy's take is that so many chips being made in East Asia is not "palatable" for the world?

There's nothing wrong with saying "That's a large pie they're eating and we want a bigger slice for ourselves." We could do without this kind of self-serving pseudo-cosmopolitanism.

If you have equity as part of your comp for the company you work for you may disagree with this.

There's also a reasonableness part to any business relationship. The extreme entitlement of demanding work pay for your home because you're able to WFH during a pandemic just comes across as obnoxious.

It's like the employee that complains, "sushi again?!" in the free lunch cafeteria. Not everything is a zero sum game, your relationship with your employer doesn't need to be adversarial.
You absolutely should be quick to fault them... They cut off nearly all orders from suppliers anticipating an economic downturn and had no risk mitigation strategy if they were to resume production. In essence they left the line at a concert after hearing rumors the band wasn't going to show.

Now they know the concert is definitely on, they want their place in the line back and the manufacturers told them to pound sand, since there are tons more people paying more money than they are.

Automotive manufacturers think they have much more weight than they actually do when it comes to purchasing electronic components. They definitely came to a rude awakening when the chip fabs and manufacturers told them to go to the back of the line.

For reference, the entire automotive market in 2020 spent 38 billion on semiconductors. Apple alone spent 53 billion in 2020.

Experts seem to suffer so often from myopia. Sometimes all it takes is a fresh perspective to glean a new idea.
Opus doesn't support any sample rates higher than 48khz, so no bat encoding. Some other audio codecs do, but it doesn't really make a lot of sense and I doubt they've been properly tuned for it.
The funny thing is that outside of keyboards and electronic music, nobody cares about temperament. Most wind and string instruments are for all intents and purposes, untempered. The 12 tone scale is still important -- it produces a roughly consonant scale without excessive complexity. A 19 tone saxophone would be unplayable.

> Kind of like how if anyone in Texas had the good foresight to winterize they could have made a year of profit in a few days.

This fundamentally mis-states the situation in Texas during the recent cold catastrophe. Gas suppliers that had winterized had their electricity cut off and could not pressurize their distribution. Generators who had winterized had their gas supply curtailed. And so on.

It was a systemic failure by the PUCT and the RRC, who are the regulators. Ultimately, the Governor who appoints those boards and the Legislature who grants their authorities failed.

It wasn't some yahoo generator too dumb to winterize, although there were plenty who didn't find it financially convenient to do so.
As an example of a PC power supply doing things slightly differently, the Lenovo P620 has a power supply that connects to the motherboard with a slot connector. I heard that it only supplies one voltage and the rest of the voltages are generated on the board, but I can’t find a reference for that.

Something to consider when discussing EV's is that they outsource energy production to industrial/rural areas. Sometimes to "sustainable" sources (hydro, wind, solar) but often to coal, nat gas, etc.

I suspect the added electricity demand from everyone switching to EV's won't be easily supplied by renewables thus creating this problem elsewhere.

Hopefully it's possible but the cynic in me disagrees.

> Is the AI less exploitable than the average person?

People are generally not exploitable in the same way an AI is because we can subjectively assess situations and learn on the fly.

This is a good example of why I think your argument doesn't hold water: https://twitter.com/nikitabier/status/1372726911105855488

On the 99% winrate, I feel like you're either being purposefully obtuse or have no experience with competitive games.

Majority of the winrates are >70%, but even 60% is insane for a competitive game especially at the very highest level. It is ridiculously hard to maintain a winrate this high even over 30 games.

You seem to be thinking about this from a statistical perspective (I.e. moar samples) without realizing that this is baked into MMR (You're matched with opponents as close to your skill level as possible). These players have to maintain high winrates just to stay at this MMR because they can earn as low as literally 0 MMR for a win and lose up to 60 MMR for a loss.

These players are also around 3000 MMR higher than Diamond players. Using the Elo model [0], this equates to a 99.998% winrate.

100 games in a row is also not feasible. That's ~20 hours of playtime assuming 12min games.

This is still uncertain, but accumulating evidence suggests that vaccinated people are unlikely to spread the virus.

That said, masks will still likely be common for a while due to unknowns around variants and just the logistical hurdle of not knowing who has had the vaccine and who is lying about having it so they don't have to wear a mask.
Thanks for your question. "The Go Programming Language" is a well-written book. I have not read every line of it, so my answer might not be precise.

I will highlight some key aspects of my project:

I teach computer science in my free time in a small non-profit organization. Most of the students have no knowledge at all in the field. I wanted to write a book that anybody could use, not only to learn Go but also to learn how to code from the beginning.

I tried to explain every notion by imagining a student with no prior knowledge. I also added content about some key notions like encoding, some basic knowledge about what a computer is made of, what a pointer is ...

I also tried to keep a practical approach, with many examples. I also added a lot of drawings and screenshots. Images are sometimes more efficient than long explanations (this what I learned when I began to teach children).

Keep me updated if you have some time. I would love to hear your feedback ;)

Asia is a hyper broad term that could include areas from east to Russia to just west of Turkey except Middle East. Some thinks Central Asia is not or whatnot.

“Continent” refers to single contiguous land encircled by seawater, that aren’t islands, at least as I think of the word.

Yes, your comment seemed fair! I was referring to the podcast itself. However, instead of responding further, let me first listen to the podcast, rather than relying on second-hand assessments.
That is correct in my own experience. I started composing music using DAWs and little did I know that was only one limited way, creatively speaking, of getting things done. Yes, using DAWs, one can tweak, modify, prefect mistakes, etc. But all that comes at a cost, the cost being the creative part is largely compromised, and I find that the abundance of options make DAW first time users think they've hit the jackpot when in fact, creatively speaking, less is more and their creative growth would be facilitated by simpler tools. When artists lack a certain skill technology can easily fill that void. Initially it seems like the best deal but the cost is large and the sooner they find that out the better they can get to doing real meaningful work. Technology in art in large proportion becomes an artifice that is very attractive but by itself isn't very meaningful.
There’s svelte-testing-library [0] which follows the same approach as the React flavor. It emphasizes testing the app “as the user would use it”, which boils down to rendering components and inspecting the DOM. They intentionally don’t give you visibility into the internal state of the component, which can be weird to get used to if you’re used to doing things like “click the button; assert that state isClicked became true”, but it tends to result in less brittle tests.

That's one way to cash out the distinction, but "gender" can also mean sex. This usage (at least in English) dates back to the 13th century.

At best, it's ambiguous. You can't really know what someone means by "gender" without context, such as the mentioning of the sex/gender distinction. "Gender" has become somewhat of an auto-acronym.

Intent and justification.

Intent is the easier one to understand. Neurodivergent often don't act with the same intent that someone being an asshole does. Two people tell you that you shouldn't be eating that cookie. One is intending to be mean an to hurt you. The other cares about you and means the message in the best interest of your health, not realizing it will hurt.

With time and some prompting they can be led to understand how the message would be interpreted and realize it is hurt and stop, but it happens much slower and is often too little too late.

Justification is the harder to understand or empathize with possibility. Due to the previous issue impacting every area of life, often resulting in a significant decrease in quality of life and a significant increase in emotional pain, some will lower the extent they empathize with others. It is harder to explain because people think of their own times being hurt by others and think how they had the option to just do better than was done to them and rise above, not conceptualizing what qualitative differences occur when a pain goes from a short term event to a life long occurrence.

One further problem is that justification is only sometimes deemed appropriate by society. The differences in what are deemed appropriate differ strongly enough I'm hesitant to list examples because many will consider just making the comparison as a very asshole move. I am not at all clear if this consideration is in good faith or not.
