I looks forward to seeing reviews.

Offhand, does anyone have a list of closed source drivers this device? It’s not a dealbreaker to me (I use many raspberry pis in my home), but it’s nice to have an inventory.
Funny story—
Along with a friend who has at least a decade more development experience, I have been building a cryptocurrency trade execution platform. He started it in Node, and I picked up where he left off not even knowing what a Promise was. Fast forward a year, and after taking a distributed systems course that required me to use Elixir for all the projects I demanded that we abandon Node for Elixir.
That's a very good point. Definitely Apple's direction.

I think it will take quite some time to reunite both world. But maybe indeed, eventually, we'll have only the iOS app that will run on both iPhones and macs.

Note thought that there will always be a big difference in experience. On desktop, we want the experience to be center-ed around the keyboard shortcut, the console and natural language.

On iOS (at least for most people), it's faster to use a well-crafter UI/UX than typing natural language. Though again, in the future, we might go in the direction of voice.

Time will tell :)
I've found pytest to encourage tests with really long method names, examples from the post:

test_refresh_failure
test_refresh_with_timeout

These get even longer like test_refresh_with_timeout_when_username_is_not_found for example.

pytest-describe allows for a much nicer testing syntax. There's a great comparison here: https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-describe#why-bother

TL;DR, this is nicer:

def describe_my_function():
def with_default_arguments():
def with_some_other_arguments():

This isn't as nice:

def test_my_function_with_default_arguments():
def test_my_function_with_some_other_arguments():
Is this Firefox adopting LocalCDN/Decentraleyes, or am I totally misunderstanding what's going on.
How to Deal with Context Switching at Work
Green threads are great, right up until the moment you have to interoperate with something written in another language / using another VM. Then it's a mess (see also: Go).

The nice thing about async/await is that, because it's all just a bunch of syntactic sugar over callbacks, any language that supports some kind of callbacks with state, can be mapped to async/await - even C! On WinRT, for example, such interop works across C++, C#, and JavaScript.

This is largely why languages that push this model tend to form rather tightly closed ecosystems, IMO. Which, in turn, leads to their lower adoption - and thus, no particular implementation of green threads can become a de facto standard.
Because race is deeply entwined with culture, and culture is in everything.

Every culture owns cars, but not every subculture does things with cars that require you to do most of the work yourself in your driveway.

It’s like Ehrlichman’s famous quote: “We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities.“
Danish Red Cross launches $3M blockchain-based volcano disaster relief bond
No, Perl needs to move forward. v8 would be a sane timeline since that is a year or two away anyway.
There's no evidence supporting that claim, and there have been no such problems with the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson vaccins which had to comply with the same regulations.
The Cantillon Effects you describe have nothing to do with whether the government has reserves of gold or not, and incidentally are not the source of Jeff Bezos’ enormous wealth (the source of that wealth is a combination of luck, entrepreneurship, and tax policies that allow an individual to amass billions of dollars). Sure, he gets even richer because he is rich, but this “Matthew Effect” would still be present if he held his wealth in gold bullion. The money of 1970 still had to be injected into the economy somehow, and that somehow is fractional reserve banking which was invented in the 17th Century. If you can get a loan of such new money and invest in productive assets, you will come out ahead of people who are unable to make strategic use of debt.

Money is ultimately like food, in that we just require an adequate amount of the stuff. Using precious metals as the basis of money in a growing world leads to a chronic under-supply. Limitless printing of fiat leads to a debasing of the currency that would ultimately mean it ceases to be money. That is categorically not what’s happened in the United States.

In short: gold money is no more real or pure than fiat money. Perhaps if we lived in a static economy without the means to create artificial scarcity, we would use gold. But we don’t, and there’s no special benefit to doing so.

We can’t make our way back to a monetary garden of Eden because there was no Eden to begin with. The problems we see around us are primarily driven by other factors, such as tax policy and demographics.
You're making the massive assumption that Google cares and wants to change the status quo they've established. There is no evidence of this being the case.
the only guess going around is that they're not a traditional vaccine manufacturer. as such, they don't have the expertise for this kind of a roll out.

but this is still a guess at this point.
Warranty and guarantee ("Gewährleistung") are different things, at least in germany. Warranty is something provided freely by the manufacturer/supplier under whatever terms they want. Guarantee on the other hand is mandatory, and even though it's two years, after 6 months you have to prove the defect was there from the beginning, which is somewhat complicated for electronics...
I live in a neighborhood and one guy has 6 cars in different states of repair and a boat on his property. Nice guy but I feel for his neighbors. Trailers and fish houses are not uncommon either but not permanent. We have ordinances against it but they aren't really enforced. We went from $200k houses to $400k houses so I expect things to change. I want the sidewalks fixed etc.. I want nice property values. 95% of the neighbors keep things nice.
‘Too Many Questions’: Deep-Rooted Mistrust Feeds Doubt About Vaccines
SQLite is in every android phone, it wins by a mile. I'd even go as far to wager that MSSQL instances alone outnumber Mongodb or Dynamo by a good margin.
The US has a long dark history of enacting laws that seem "fair" to those (whites) who sponsored it, but in reality are meant to target a specific minority population. Jim Crow is a major example. Many of the laws never particularly singled out blacks in the actual text, but things like poll taxes and literacy tests were used because of the disproprtionate impact they would have on that community.

Political issues are not new in Europe. Having lived in France, I thought the question on the vaccine was due to strict high quality standards in healthcare. But the problems with Oxford/AstraZeneca seems to be a political puzzle (May be I am wrong)
Honestly it makes it look needlessly complicated and putting their own people last. If I were an EU citizen, I’d be hyper critical of the regime as it stands today. This is fair.
interesting thanks.

how long would a randomised controlled trial take?

What footguns are you looking to avoid with mocks? I've been using them for about a year now and haven't run into much issues.
I'm not saying it contracts your speculation necessarily. All I'm saying is that right now AZ is in a comfortable situation where they don't get any negative consequences of not applying for approval.
Given the quantity of doses stored, it seems likely AZ has been having them make doses that (likely) pass their own QA for some time so they should be in shape to receive approval for a comparable amount of time.

To me one likely explanation for this is that AZ was holding off on applying to the EU in the hope that they could make these doses "in secret" and sell them outside the EU.

Another, more mundane one, is that their back office is just a total shitshow with so much panic going on that somebody just didn't file it.
Wouldn't AstraZeneca be still required to deliver the orders at the price that it was agreed?

IIRC, most of the EU, has already ordered enough vaccines for the whole population.

The fact that you've pointed out, still doesn't still well with me though. If most developed countries will already have been vaccinated, are they trying to take the profit from developing economies instead?
> how should we allocate funds between older and more established researchers vs new researchers?

Reasonable question with no precise answer, but I imagine a manager would seek a balance between the two as with any company or team. Some big hitters but you've got to see where your next Einsteins are coming from.

There's nothing about this that is solved by metrics. Metrics just help you might shallow decisions quickly, and provide ways for academics to game the system by manipulating those metrics.
Everyone, please rush out and do this in your production databases! :)
By way of a really dumb algorithm with really dumb governance.

It surprises me how much bad stuff is allowed to run without oversight.

It’s perfectly cool to experiment with code and try new things to see if it works. It’s stupid to do that with real things like the “Article Banner” or whatever Reddit has.

I’m sure there’s lots of complexity but I suspect there’s a decision being made to let things run and they haven’t set up the right checks and balances to see if it’s working.

If an established account has a submission flagged and blocked that should be really rare and either require a human to check it out, or to allow it and flag it for review.

Reddit gets tons of spam, I’m certain, but it’s probably not from real accounts or from sources that have a long history of their content being submitted without flags.

If a newspaper’s article is blocked automatically because the rule is too stupid, that’s too high impact of a failure condition.

The more descriptive cause is the failure to pay for adequate tug support/escort.

How to Hire a Precise Full Stack Web Developer?
"Googlers" are happy to take a stand on politically-relevant topics that can earn them Virtue Points, while at the same time staying perfectly quiet on stuff like this that actually harms the people using their product.
AWS prices on a cost basis, not value. That is you only pay for the input, not the output.

Value-based pricing works well if your product is aligned to revenue or cost savings, and you can attach a clear business objective to the product.

AWS is of course completely horizontal and therefore can serve an infinite number of business objectives excellently; and it does.
That does not ban the interpreters. It prevents interpretation of downloaded code. But as long the sources to be interpreted are bundled with app, it is OK at least from that section.

There are many reviews already available. Hardware is practically identical.
Like everyone else, I'd like to make the FOSS space a safe place for all sorts of people.

RMS could acknowledge he's rude and could apologize. He could show he's trying to be a nicer person. I'm not aware of any recent account of sexually improper behavior, but that could be just because women actively avoid him based on his reputation.

For him, the proper course of action would be to retreat as a front figure of the movement he founded. We can admire him for that brilliance, but, right now, he's hurting his cause more than anything else. He's very intelligent and should be able to recognize that.

Is your original Google search done in Chrome or via the Google "app"? I guess that's why your result opens in a WebView?

I usually just go to google.com in Chrome to search for things, and the amp link in the address bar is really rather confusing.
but how can they export it since the EU requires export approval since January?
I think the question was which of those trackers have a stand-in script (could be a subset of all blocked trackers) and what the stand-in script looks like.

No, it is not mandatory by European law. The myth persists.

The site can use essential cookies or no cookies just fine, with no banner required at all. Nothing.

If they decide to use non-essential cookies, for example privacy-intrusion tracking cookies to follow your activity around the web for advertising, then they need to notify you of this tracking and obtain consent. You have a right to know, after all, and you might prefer to exercise your rights by declining consent. But nothing requires it to be a large banner, and nothing requires the "reject all" button to be difficult to find.
I had not intended my comment as an attack on religion nor was I making a value judgment about the net effect of religion on humanity. Nor did I intend to imply that exerting control over others is the total or even main point behind religion. Finally I wasn't trying to supply a complete description of religion, just referencing one facet of it.

If this works, it will be a very welcome development. Firefox is still my preferred primary browser given who the competition is, but the number of normal, everyday sites I visit that don't work properly in Firefox has become irritating. It appears that quite a few of those problems are caused by the security/privacy blocking rather than a lack of other functionality in Firefox, and it's usually the blocking by Firefox itself rather than any relevant add-ons because disabling the latter doesn't solve the problem.
Anyone have any insight into what the app development experience is like on this?
Einstein was not peer reviewed either. Peer review became standard only later.

That is to say, whatever worked for him or that era wont work for contemporary person today.
Ultimately, that's true, but I am clearly referencing the interim transition. After all, that's what the book is about - developers today who use cryptography. That "ultimate" timeframe won't happen today or tomorrow. Look at CNSA for examples.
Are you saying that the law is specifically designed to be selectively applied, with the enforcement authorities more or less arbitrarily deciding what does and what doesn't warrant a crackdown?

But that's exactly the kind of law that tends to be enforced in ways that manifest various majority biases in society.

> The US has fallen to a new low in a global ranking of political rights and civil liberties, a drop fueled by unequal treatment of minority groups, damaging influence of money in politics, and increased polarization, according to a new report by Freedom House, a democracy watchdog group.

But I thought the woke world view would fix all of this? Color me surprised.
Reading all the negative sentiment on HN about Electron beforehand I was a bit concerned about picking it for the desktop app but now I am positively surprised to be honest.

I totally understand that Electron's memory footprint is not acceptable for very small apps that only serve as a utility. For Life though, which is supposed to replace 2-3 other apps, a memory footprint of ~300mb seems fine to me. In-app performance is also good.

I cannot say anything about the iOS Routine app because I have not tried it yet.
That they quickly closed the issue and are uninterested in debate is all you need to know about these kinds of people.
> But the problems with Oxford/AstraZeneca seems to be a political puzzle

The root cause of the problems seem to be that AstraZeneca has sold more doses than they are able to produce, and that causes the political problems.
Why do cars on his property bother you?
Next step (please): block all 1x1 sized images.

The transparent pixel tracking trick is common enough now that it should be blocked by default in all 'Private' modes.
It’s different, as Decentraleyes hosts a local copy of libraries like jQuery, while the new Firefox feature is about emulating tracking scripts with a minimal set of features to trick the site into thinking it is present.

There are lots of gray areas in life, and lots of complex questions which require nuanced well thought-out answers.

It's often useful to problematise simple statements, to draw out different implications and to shed light on what might be un or under considered aspects.

I don't think your comment does this though. Mussolini was a fascist. Not someone with some fascist sympathies, or someone who someone else accused of being fascistic.

Maybe my response was a bit glib. Violence is certainly not something to be undertaken lightly but I think political violence against fascists is justified, and can be considered self-defence.
'Science told them it was fine' before they pumped the breaks, too. You can excuse anything based on caution but both before and after the fact the expected value of the decision was that it will cost lives.
Solution might be ShiftedArrays.jl which allows to do a circshift with a view. However, performance is slightly worse than an allocated fftshift.

That's what California's Prop 13 is. It works as originally intended to prevent people being priced out by rapidly rising property taxes but has other, necessarily linked negative effects. Lots of reading and analysis available by googling California Prop 13.
> Maybe people just want the freedom to make their own decisions while taking proper precautions.

This is basically the argument from anti-maskers (the ones against mask mandates, not the ones arguing masks don't work): Don't treat us like children.
I think Waymo is going about it the right way, given the reliability required: Solve 100% of the problems in a restricted environment, then gradually remove restrictions on the environment and solve 100% of the problems after every step. I think this offers some divide and conquer benefits and guards against introducing sloppy hacks that are hard to disentangle from the system later.

Sounds logical, doesn't necessarily mean it's true. I'm not an expert.
Security paranoia is ruining the independent Internet and putting more power in the hands of companies like Google.

If AZ until recently thought they were going to be shipping those doses to the UK, and the UK has approved that, then it's hard to fault AZ for not applying to have the plant approved in a jurisdiction that it wasn't intended to be used for anyway.

The AstraZeneca US phase 3 trial took about 7 months.

In this case, US regulators took issue with the company's press release, rather than the results of the trial itself.
> However it doesn’t mean anyone has to listen to you.

IMO this is the lesson that a lot of people never seem to learn.
I mean, even in LA and the Bay area this is true. You are stuck renting unless you can get enough for a down payment. All of the 1950 apartments are being torn down.
"There's nothing shady or underhanded going on."

Good joke
I believe that the comparison was between blocking the tracking script with and without a stand-in.
That's a great idea. Thank you for clarifying.
How does the competition stop a highly-specific compressor that is tuned to the particular text file (and not much else) from winning?
This article is awfully light on details. Any details on the tech behind this, or is it just snake oil?
Everyone might own cars, but if one population can only afford them if they do their own work on them, such a ban overly impacts that group.

"AH", you might say, "but that is just discrimination against poor people, there are poor whites as well!". Yes. But if you look at the total wealth distribution in the US, last time I checked non-whites are much more likely to be on the bottom tiers than whites, given their skin color and nothing else. So the class issue is also a (systemic) racism issue.

"Sounds like poor whites and non-whites are natural political allies" you might say. Yes actually. But that does not erase the racism issue, since the different parties in that political coalition will have different needs and interests which need to to treated with respect by all members in order to give a lasting coalition.
Except that AZ is getting continual pressure from the EU to ship more vaccines to them - not comfortable at all. I'm certain if they could they would.

The missing info is why the Halix plant isn't approved for EU but OK for elsewhere. Because the EMA rules are unreasonably onerous or because AZ has messed up.
Thanks. Yes, I did. During the process of making this [1] more basic autodiff framework, I realised that it could become actually usable if the values the "Variables" contained were NumPy arrays. Then I just found myself chipping away it at.

It was worth it for me, since I found it fun to work on, learned many things, and want to continue learning in this area.

A limitation is that one only has to work out the local gradients of operations, which may or may not provide insight into the more complicated models composed of these operations.

What's the deal with all these google-only apps? And on the other hand the de-googling of everybody on HN.
It's super annoying, and basically forces you to use a throwaway google account.

Also, with the whole supplychain security, why not just also promote your webapp, instead of a bundled electron app?
