Try signing up to gitlab and then signing in. It’s completely broke with TOR because of cloudflares crappy redirect and nobody has done anything about it. The captcha also breaks after you spend about thirty mins trying to find a relay which doesn’t trigger the redirect page protection loop.
Can you provide a link to the atrocities. Nothing was mentioned in the history books which were part of the curriculum during school.
Yeah, I was impressed enough to fill out the feedback form at the end. It is probably the first time I've used a feedback form for compliments in my life.
Old crusty semi-retired engineer I knew said when he was young he liked designing things to close tolerances. But once he was old he found more pleasure in designing things that worked with really shitty tolerances.

Quick hypothesis on PIMs/editors/etc, from someone who worked on a PIM in the late 1980s and who misses outliners and others- the biggest "unimagined" change is from personal information management to hive-mind information management (via search engines).

It used to be that everyone had to maintain their own personal "library"- now this activity is relegated to cranks and luddites. The second order effect is a change in demand for personal information authoring/management/etc.

A small number of tools, like Scrivener, that may have been competitive in the 1980s, have a market today. The idea of an isolated, focused, non-networked writing environment, surviving like the crocodile.

I don't have a hypothesis for the lack of innovation in the spreadsheet space. The incentives are certainly there. Literally billions/trillions of dollars of assets are subjected to all kinds of spreadsheet risk. Yet that workflow persists, and small and large businesses that attempt to tackle it rise and fall by the wayside.
From TFA to set context: The vaccine is an immune primer, to trigger the activation of naive B cells via a process called germline-targeting, as the first stage in a multi-step vaccine regimen to elicit the production of many different types of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs). Stimulating the production of bnAbs has been pursued as a holy grail in HIV for decades.

That is, the vaccine triggers generation of bnAbs successfully, turning a "passive immunization" HIV/AIDS treatment in to "active immunization".

More on bnAbs:

> Antibodies are proteins that immune cells make to block viruses and other infectious agents. In the case of HIV, people who are infected typically produce antibodies to the virus. But because the virus mutates and replicates rapidly, antibodies are largely ineffective at controlling the virus. After years of infection, though, some people produce highly potent antibodies called broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) that, in laboratory tests, are able to neutralize a wide variety of HIV strains. The identification of such antibodies has transformed the field of HIV prevention research for two reasons: it provides information to guide the design of vaccines that could elicit bnAbs for protection, and it has opened the door to a new prevention modality: the administration of HIV bnAbs to prevent infection.

> The administration of antibodies to prevent infection is known as passive immunization, in contrast to active immunization, which occurs as a result of vaccination (see graphic, below). While a vaccine “trains” the immune system to generate antibodies and other immune responses, passive immunization requires that the antibodies be delivered directly into the body through infusions or injections. This protection is temporary, and, in the case of HIV prevention, would need to be administered periodically as long as the subject was still at risk.

So, do they have a higher or lower % of errors than the sets that they are studying? :p
> the ideology in the game is way more pervasive and interesting.

I think you have this backwards. The ideology in SimCity is only a tiny reflection of broader ideologies that pervade almost every aspect of modern/urban life and ought to be much more interesting due to their much larger impact. If anything is interesting in SimCity's ideology, it is only what it says about ideology outside of SimCity, as the game itself is trival.

In George Orwell's 1984, Newspeak was a language formed by eliminating all of the words deemed unnecessary. The idea was, limit words and you may limit thoughts. While brevity can make a sentence more powerful, getting in the habit of eliminating words might be dangerous.
Wikipedia page is informative: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCO%E2%80%93Linux_disputes it specifically mentions the two related suicides. It very sad that the article will need new updates.
Hi HN! My name is Elliot Hershberg, and I'm a scientist and engineer working in the field of genomics and bioinformatics.

I've recently started a free Substack called the Century of Biology. My goal is share exciting new results from researchers on the cutting edge of biology and biotechnology. It is my small contribution to the problem of keeping up with the exponential growth of amazing pre-prints and other open-access articles.

If you're interested, consider subscribing! Each week, I'll highlight a new article.
Assuming he got rich by building this company, his billions in wealth would be mostly in the form of his ownership of the company. So not entirely irrelevant.
So to increase your odds of surviving you can bet on your own death. That seems strangely philosophical to me. Another upside is, if you should die anyway, then at least you win the bet!
"I'd love for computing to get back to that utopian vision of the bicycle for the mind but if you look around these days it's more of a train-wreck of the mind."

Same here. I'm increasingly not interested in machines or software that I don't control at leaf to some extent, that I'm not free to modify, that aren't about empowerment, learning and creativity for the user. It's not just based on a personal desire, although it is partly that. It's the only way we can stay free. This isn't just some high-minded hacker ideology, it's literally about liberty.
Does this mean we get Groklaw back?
Why SPAs? They're good when you develop capabilities API-first. When we build features, we follow an approach of making the feature possible (customer support can exercise the feature with PostMan or cURL) then making it friendly with a UI.

There will be some tweaks and changes to the API to support the UI, but it's rarely drastic, and it ensures that every single capability we build out can be exercised by some other kind of program somewhere.

If you're building components of a larger system (which we do), SPAs and web components atop back-end APIs make sense. If you're building a one-off fill-out form kind of application... No those don't make sense. You don't even need JavaScript for those, if you degrade into just HTML + CSS for users that have shut off JS.
Has anyone looked at Ubiquiti's firmware signing? Would it be possible to patch it to retain the drivers and kernel but replace the configuration layers? Being able to homebrew some config would make the equipment more valuable to us I think.
What rights are you talking about? I was appointed by the court to handle his financial affairs after he forgot all about them.
Weasyprint is great, but be prepared to start hacking its layout engine for more complex generations.

It's nowhere near as mature as PrinceXML.
The mechanism is called reverse transcription. It’s a well known exception to the “central dogma of molecular biology”.

You can keep it from spreading quickly within a person's body, and reduce the chances of transmission, if you can reduce the amount of viral particles that exist outside of host cells.
Operator Precedence Is Broken
Florida does not have steel production because it is distant from both coal and iron ore. Same for Aluminum.

It does have portland cement production due to the abundance of limestone near the surface. However, portland cement production is more or less local globally...or it's usually made relatively close to where used. Conversely Florida's phosphate industry is a major source globally. The scales are incomensurate.
The buffer overflow protection is so important it is there whether the code is marked @safe or not.
However, the markers of government and media manipulation are largely commonsense.

- Is there good evidence for the other side?
- If so, how does the mainstream press react to that?
- Are people trying to get others to not even look?

Lots of people will mistake conspiracy nut trash for good evidence. However, this is always the case, even for initial claims, not just counterclaims. That certainly does not mean that people shouldn't look and ask questions. If someone knows they're on the side of the truth, wherever the evidence might lead, then there's no reason to try and scare people away. If someone knows they have truth on their side, they can afford to let people ask questions. If someone is sincerely on the side of truth, they don't have to use tactics, like tarring and name-calling to discredit people who are wrong. The facts themselves will do that.

How the authorities react to questions, and to what degree they will try to avoid them, are themselves valuable indicators!

It's very true that the average science consumer is a lot like the average driver. There are lots of very bad ones out there. But it's only in an open society, where questions are encouraged, and where asking questions is acknowledged as speaking truth to power, where the truth will come out.

Remember when the semantic equivalent of "shut up and go along" was the very opposite of virtuous intellectualism? (And not mislabeled as intellectualism!)

Remember when we were proud of our freedom, of our societies where open inquiry was allowed and not suppressed?

No, please! Have your blood checked for vitamin D levels, then ask a doctor what to do.

I am not a doctor. You are not a doctor. 'There was another study' is a terrible way to self-medicate. Consequently, 'look up the studies yourself' is bad advice for self-medication.

If you do not have a deficiency, you can severely damage your health by taking high doses, like destroying your kidneys. I guess that happens because those kidneys need to wash out all the crap you feed your body that it doesn't want nor need.

5000 IU is not a low dose and should only be taken if you have a diagnosed vitamin D deficiency.
I have been trying to place the justification format I have seen in some print books. In most cases it will add spaces between words to make up for sentences with words that can't be split easily, but it also doesn't fully right-justify the last letter of the line. It seems to be something like "add inter-word spacing unless spacing exceeds X"
When my grandmother visits a therapist, they usually try to give her medication if not report her to ER because of her off-the-scale blood pressure. She then explains that her BP is always like this when she visits a therapist, and the only thing to do is to leave the office. 10 bpm drop may be something or nothing.
Wagtail
Not intensely depressed, though I am still heaming trauma.

From my teens to mid thirties, I often stayed up very late well until 4 am. Usually I’d find it very difficult to restore my sleeping hours so I would keep shifting forward, like sleeping at 11am, getting up at 8pm... until i was again up at like 5 am... then i managed normal waking hours for a few weeks and the cycle would repeat.

In hindsight I always felt safer at night. When the world seems to be asleep, i felt less pressure, it was quiet...

I also remember when staying awake longer or sleeping a few hours, it was pleasant in some ways, i didn’t feel as anxious, like sailing on a cloud.

The research doesn’t surprise me but sadly it is always a clinical perspective. These people are not genuinely cured of "depression" whatever is the clinical description. We know a lot more about the physiology of trauma these days, and there is almost always some type of trauma involved, meaning an experience of physical / emotional overwhelm, and a nervous system that never quite returned to normal. Usually there is a history of developmental trauma and / or tramatic events like violence, or serious accidents. Sometimes a stay in hospital can be traumatic as well, invasive procedures, lack of connection, etc.
7. Social media (including HN) rewards lower-effort first posts over greater-effort informational ones.

It takes significantly more time to sort though an article like this one, figure out what it's talking about and why it's just been published, pick up corroborating and/or refuting sources and articles, and turn it all into a digestible comment. Someone else can post a hot take in 5 minutes that develops into a Sierpinski Comment Tree by the time something more measured shows up.

These blanket statements don’t apply to everyone. It depends which Ubiquiti hardware you own and how you’ve configured it.

For example, I run the UniFi controller on my FreeNAS server. There are no forced updates to it. It doesn’t update unless I update it. The firmware on my APs doesn’t update unless I update them from my controller.
Thank you. And it uses the enzyme integrase to integrate into the host cells genome and reverse transcriptase to create DNA from RNA.

Anyone who has looked into any science beyond what the media talks about knows this about HIV.

What's even more interesting is that there's latent reservoirs in a person's body that we don't know where they are so that even after we get someone's viral count undetectable with meds, if they stop the medicine hov can come back
By using a W3C standard and devolving the layout engine to the browser, this solves a difficult problem the right way.

I would have loved to have something like this for a project years ago.
Yes, EDN is S-expressions plus a bunch of semantic rules.
Parsing EDN is quite a bit more complex than just parsing S-expressions, just because you need to support a bunch of built in types, as well as arbitrary exensions through 'tags'.

The tag system is quite brilliant though.
The sand was well-known and it had a foundation that was supposed to handle it. So that’s a poor example of regulation overlooking something.
My mother taught me to read when I was four (just over sixty years ago). I'm sure it gave me a head start even though it made the first year of infant school (5 to 7) occasionally irritating as I was asked to read what I regarded as babyish texts! Whether it would help all others I don't know but I imagine that it would hardly hinder anyone.
but more likely, someone else uploaded their own entire contact book which included your number and likely email at one point
We have to be careful when comparing the raw numbers. The AstraZeneca vaccine is a vector vaccine and part of it's expected mechanism of action is triggering an (unpleasant) immune response. I'm not sure where the official definition draws the line between side effect and just normal unpleasantness, but I've heard that most people experience symptoms like a mild flu, and pain at the injection site. OTOH I've heard anecdotically that the Pfizer/Biontech vaccine has much less reactions.

Anyway I think we should not lump the mild/expected side effects and the serious and life threatening ones together. Unfortunately it's quite difficult to find reliable numbers for probability of e.g. blood clots after vaccine compared to the general population.

As a physicist, I'd also like to see the probability in the general population, but this population reweighted to match the population that has been given the vaccine. (E.g. if 0.1% of the population are nurses and 2% of the vaccinated are, then multiply their frequency by 20). When I just see a number, I never know how much they take this kind of confounding factors into account.
Not a specialist, but I'd bet that not knowing letters and numbers is the least problematic part of the pandemic-led arrested development.
Has there ever been any evidence for anything that has ended debate on the topic for everyone, universally?

Of course not.

Russell meant "conclusive" with respect to a small group of right minded people, that should be deciding things.

He wasn't against an arbitrary group of elites deciding what is true, he was just against the wrong group vaguely identified as "the State".

I'm not saying I'm pro or con anyone censoring things, my point is that people who talked about censorship traditionally took for granted that someone responsible was in control if the people they didn't like weren't.
Ironically, elsewhere I'm also advocating that people go through dozens of studies and actually look at the numbers, then evaluate mainstream media coverage against that actual data.
I feel your pain. Getting announcements from my local skating club is the only reason why I keep my FB account. :(

Haha, I switched away from MATLAB to numpy many years ago because MATLAB was so clunky. To each his own, I guess.
Furthermore you can often ask them for help (or so I have heard).
It's also completely unnecessary to teach a kid that before age 6.
My kids did not. Nor did most of their classmates. Had that be expectation, I would be much more likely to let them wait one year over pushing early reading. Or would not harm them, but would make everything easier.

I don't know, imo people who worry about whether kids are tracked smart are more likely to push them to learn everything too soon.

But the actual big issue with kids that go to school sooner then ready is not that they don't look smartest. It is that they look troublemakers due to being unable to focus as long as needed, they play instead of paying attention, get into trouble as a result. It does even out after some years, but still implies very crappy years for both kid and parents. Ability to stay on task makes massive difference in how long and stressful homework is.
Hadn't thought of it, but in my experience the "newer" models require a lot more data, this would them become an impediment because there's a certain likelihood the quality goes down with the increased quantity, i.e. measured differently or under different conditions.
> COBS first takes its input data and logically appends a single zero byte. (It is not necessary actually to add this zero byte to the end of the packet in memory; the encoding routine simply has to behave as if the added zero were there.)

So it's `02 xx`. By the way, a single zero byte would be `01 01`.
This study is not particularly interesting as a measurement of vaccine effectiveness (because of the extremely low sample count of 12 patients). So don't read too much into the particular numbers. Instead, there's two useful and valuable results in it:

1. It gives us information on the mechanism that the variants are using for vaccine evasion - the E484K substitution which was the suspected mechanism for B.1.351 ("south african variant") was tested on its own and did not evade the vaccine-induced antibodies as effectively as the full B.1.351 mutation set. This tells us that there is some other mechanism in B.1.351 that makes it more successful at evading antibodies. This is important and valuable information.

2. It demonstrates a really fast, safe, and clever method of testing vaccine effectiveness against a new variant - what they did was to take an entirely unrelated virus, graft a modified S protein on it, expose it to blood serum from vaccinated patients, and then try to infect a cell culture with it. By counting infected cells compared to the same count without the serum exposure, you can measure how effective the neutralization is, without having to measure infection counts in a large population. This is awesome and can easily be done with other vaccines and any new variant that shows up, as long as it's sequenced, even if it doesn't have much prevalence in the population. In fact, you can use this method to test hypothetical variants that only exist in animal viruses or not at all, and be able to redeploy vaccines that are particularly effective against those in regions where they happen to emerge. This, to me, is the absolute highlight of this paper, and I suspect it will be extremely useful.

1 1/4ths ounce, 2 1/2 drams and 3 1/8th grains is what I came up with off the top of my head. Is some additional normalization expected? US customary isn’t as complex in practical use we just use fractions of our units.

Of course there are fun questions like “which ounce?” Not knowing that I don’t think I can do better.
