Most of these studies just look at antibodies (because they are easiest to study) but all the indications are that T-cells from all vaccines will continue to work well (thus preventing serious disease) because T-cells are much more comprehensive in their recognition abilities.

So covid will try and evolve to keep spreading but it will become less deadly as vaccination and natural immunity increase. So its destiny is to become a cold virus like the other human coronaviruses.

the title is clickbait. yes, there are side effects but there are a few orders of magnitude greater chances of the combo getting covid + dying than being affected by the vaccine and dying.

i am not saying we should not talk about them, but should we exercise caution with the way we formulate it. there are a lot of antivaxers out there and they don’t read beyond the title. if their number increases it will be bad for the entire society.
I think there is a spectrum of commodity vs. artistic mediums in all forms and we often talk past each other when debating the finer points. If your goal is to send out a press release to the public, perhaps layout/aesthetics isn't as important (sometimes it is though so its not a hard/fast rule). In artistic media, especially in magazines and mixed-media books, layout and aesthetics are an integral part of print media. It is inseparable. Just as in music, you don't want to add an equalizer ruining the original intent of the artist, books created by artists in 1890 still are with us in print format - exactly how they were intended to published to readers. But it is entirely different if the "music" is a podcast - I want to use an equalizer to bring up the higher frequencies for better audibility. Similarly, if I am reading a novel on an epaper display and I want to increase the font-size or type, we should allow that as you said.

I wouldn't call it "bad". I'd say it's not perfect, and rightly so, because perfection would be lower ROI than some other things their developers could be doing.
"food cooked using cooking techniques that assume cheaply-available vacuum " - what would those be?

Vacuum isn't something that's hard to get if you need it, all you need is a motor driving a pump, so if any industrial food process or one of the fancy restaurant chefs would have a good use for it, they would be already using vacuum in cooking. A kitchen vacuum sealer is <100$ (I'm assuming that would count as "cheaply available"), and it's not particularly useful though for most other cooking purposes that come to mind.

Show HN: Better logging during Node.js development
I always had trouble finding those console logs in the console that I add for debugging. So I made this pretty log formatter (for Winston) that separates each statement via a blank line, colorizes it, pretty-prints the metadata and includes information where in the source the log statement was used. Feedback welcome! :)
I'm obviously questioning the "wisdom" of why those also need to be increasing, especially as much as they do (the "treadmill" I alluded to). But I guess you'd rather force ideas into small boxes so you can jump on them - the familiar pattern that I went on to describe in the next sentence.

I won't convince anyone about the larger topic in a comment thread, so I'll just point out that we're living in the most productive time in history and yet we're still churning as hard as ever.
All the mRNA vaccines being deployed in the U.S. appear to also have an increased risk:

https://wonder.cdc.gov/controller/saved/D8/D137F981

I think it would be better to be honest about the risks, rather than hide them. Sure, less people may take the vaccine, but covid19 is an easily transmissible airborne illness (per the cdc and who). Given that, herd immunity is unlikely to be achieved and regular vaccines would be suggested (like the flu). Of course, that means we need to trust the vaccines... lying about risks isn’t a good start.
The question to me is: how much is the risk of the potential side effects of the AZ vaccine compared to the risks associated with COVID?

To me it strikes me that, even considering these rare side effects, the odds are still very much in favor for getting vaccinated.

Am I wrong here? If not, wouldn’t it then be irrational to be shutting down these vaccination programs?
Have the affected been taking precautionary medicine against clots, like the ones prescribed post covid?
> He stresses, however, that clear, transparent communication about possible risks is crucial for maintaining public trust in all COVID-19 vaccines. “It is very important that we do not lose the war because we are too eager to win the short-term battle,” he says.

This guy gets it. You won’t win over sceptics by trying to brush seemingly real problems under the rug.

Hopefully the EMA will follow his example.
I would like to see:

* Estimates of death or serious complications of COVID, divided by age group.

* Estimates of death or serious complications of this vaccine, again by age group.

Then it should be easy for anyone to see that the benefits outweigh the risks (if they do!)
Thank you, I am now downloading all the available data, can’t wait to play around with it.

One of the annoying things is that there's a timestamp making up the 10th column that has ':' in it, but the delimiter for the fields is also ':', so it makes a clean import to a database a bit of a hassle as the file may need some processing, probably will just do a find and replace as all the time stamps seem to be 12:00:00 AM. The column holding the current employment is also problematic.

For a very long time, XFF-spoofing was a trick to get past journal subscriptions and other paywalls. I don't feel so guilty about disclosing this here now, as a lot of them have (unfortunately) blocked that route.

I think this essentially agrees with my point (that there was more creativity in the broad space of 'pop music' when pop music was a newer phenomenon).

I appreciate the reminder that a lot of pop music has a longer history as it developed from Black music styles. Thanks.

For years I’ve seen these hype Julia articles. Yet, out of all the open source, all the companies I’ve worked for, I’ve never come across any valuable system running Julia. I’ve never needed open source and found that only Julia serves the need. I’m kind of tired of programming click bait that ends up on HN. Much like the “front end programming has failed” article that is popular right now. It’s all for clicks. The reality is mainstream programming paradigms are effective and work.
Definitely for some age groups. For other age groups, it makes more sense to delay vaccination until an alternate vaccine can be used. That's why some countries are only allowing it for older people.
It’s a statement not a question.

> To me it strikes me that, even considering these rare side effects, the odds are still very much in favor for getting vaccinated.

The question isn’t is it better to get vaccinated with AZ or not vaccinated, but to get vaccinated with the AZ vaccine vs. a different vaccine with the delay that would be involved if AZ were pulled. That’s a tougher question that involves questions of relative risks and effectiveness and the logistical factors that dictate the timing differences.
We were already lied to at least about masks and required threshold for herd immunity. I feel like our public health officials have done serious damage to their credibility. Perhaps irreversibly so as far as many are concerned.
that's not how being behind is meant. it's the industry that's behind if you were not able to become a captain because of prejudices against you.

you are assuming that there are not many women in this field because they don't want to be. but the reality is that there are not many women because they are not welcome. 50% parity is not the goal here. (though in some fields like teaching children, it actually should be) but the removal of all barriers so that all women (or men, if that's the case) that want to work in this field and are qualified, can.

I made a mistake of buying an expensive gamer laptop (Razer) with a strong Intel CPU and NVIDIA 2070 RTX GPU, and I just didn't like it. Sure, I could do machine learning on the laptop, but I gave up so much flexibility in my life, as the battery usually died in a few hours even when I was just web browsing.

Right now I just bought an M1 MacbookPro machine, and I love it (especially the great screen that I can use in the bright sun, and the instant on that finally feels like a phone/tablet), although I prefer the 14/15 inch form factor (maybe an AMD Zen 2 laptop would have been a great choice as well, I'm not sure).
In Denmark the halt of the AstraZeneca will delay vaccinations by approximately two weeks.
This is one of the hardest problems we face as a financial research platform. We have a lot of financial data in tables along with line, bar and pie charts. Coming up with something sensible and readable is a bit harder than expected. Ultimately we have a "json to latex" converter we built but it's not great...
Yep, I worked on that one. Thank you for reporting it.

Ironically, the purported problem in this case is the opposite: Because we don't attribute the request as coming from the original client (in order to avoid the security problem you reported), a client that has bad reputation associated with their IP can proxy through a worker to hide that. The answer is to assign reputation to the Worker itself.

There's lots of work on anti-virals and other drugs, but unless you happen to hit a pre-approved drug showing both efficacy and safety will take so long that it probably won't matter until the next epidemic. Drug treatments are much harder to develop without significant side-effects and also likely less effective than a well targeted vaccine.

Watch around 1hr into this TWiV, if you're interested in what targets there are for anti-virals, who's working on them, and why they're hard.

Not really. Keep in mind after the Ancient Egyptians, Egypt was ruled by many empires (Roman, Greek, Islamic, British). Egypt basically only got its independence after thousands of years of foreign rule in the last century.

So it's viewed as part of the country's heritage but not necessarily culture or state.

Every time an antivaxxer can point at science or a scientist and say “Look! They’re lying to you!” that’s a real loss of credibility it will take years to win back.

There might be problems with this one particular COVID-19 vaccine. Let’s not play that straight into the antivaxxers hands by being obviously dishonest about it.

If there’s causes for concern, we obviously need to investigate those concerns and be open about it.

I've had the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine and had no side-effects at all. I did actually expect to, since I used to always react badly as a child to the flu vaccine we had at school.

Also, I've heard of friends and colleagues who felt pretty rough for a couple of days.

But one thing I don't hear enough of, is the comparison with all the long lists of potential side-effects stated on normal, over-the-counter medicines. Paracetamol, Aspirin etc.

Have you listened to the fast-talking voices at the end of medicine adverts, disclaiming a litany of possible side-effects? It's quite amazing. (Some disclaimers at the end of pharmaceutical ads on US TV particularly, have always shocked me.)

"Take this. It'll help your problem" (* warning: may cause ... )
A use case that is quite common for me is when I work on VM or remote machine, I usually run tmux on the remote, so I can open multiple panes/screens on the remote machine. Nested sessions are not fun, coming with two bottom bars and requiring you to press C-b twice for commands on the remote.

Not a use case per se, but the issue I mentioned in GP is that if you detach from tmux session, accidentally or not, and you want to reattach to the session, you need an non-tmux terminal for that, since trying to attach from tmux causes it to complain that "sessions should be nested with care, unset $TMUX to force". Now you can bypass that by unsetting $TMUX, but it really doesn't work. And if your terminal automatically starts tmux you need to change its configuration when it happens or use another terminal or profile.

After a week or two of trying I settled on starting tmux manually after launching terminal (which is kitty these days).

This is true with with minor crime. It's not true at all of violent crime, or serious cases; if you're knocked down by a drunk driver, the police absolutely are very good to you and do -- eventually -- get there. Minor theft? Expect less. Copyright infringement? Hope you are a big player, otherwise piss off...
I think the concern is that medical ethics say (roughly) you cannot give anyone a treatment which, based on odds, harms them.

If COVID rates in a country are low and the patient is young, then that patients personal risk from it is very low (low chance of catching it, low chance of harm if caught). If the vaccine has higher risks of harmful side effects, it would be unethical to administer it.

Medical ethics in general does not support harming one person to help another (eg. Giving one person a risky vaccine to help protect their grandmother who is vulnerable)
"It’s perhaps how static it is and it won’t change on me."

You might be surprised that's not always true.

I don't think being apprehensive about these particular vaccines makes one an "anti-vaxxer". I know a few people who don't want them right now who are otherwise fully vaccinated.
Since I joined this website almost 1 and 1/2 decades ago, I have never seen science so politicized. In 2021, if you ask a perfectly reasonable scientific question, there's a good chance that it's somehow gotten associated with political party X or political party Y, and this question is treated with the same semantics as an armband, a bumper sticker, or a flag. This is madness!

This is not how it's supposed to work, if we are supposed to be reasoning, thinking beings. Ideas are supposed to be ideas not tokens of affiliation!

I brought up Lysenkoism here a few years back. One notable reaction, upon hearing of this for the first time, was for that commenter to declare that "Lysenkoism" was then to be pattern matched as a talking point of political party W. No intellectual curiosity. No discussion on the philosophical or practical implications. Just knee-jerk us versus them.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

In 2021, we're taught to fear each other. We're taught to fear the "wrong" questions. We're taught to fear the "wrong" affiliation, the "wrong" ideas. Fear is the mind-killer. That is what certain manipulators want -- for people to react, instead of listening and then truly thinking.
While I am not qualified to answer the question, this question reminded me of the backstory of Jove Empire in EVE Online: https://eve.fandom.com/wiki/Jove_Empire#Jovian_Disease
I agree that most people are unquestioning anthropocentrists and that itself is fine. I disagree that it's the responsibility of everything else on the planet to meet us at the table. It should be humanity's job to close the communication gap. Consider it an act of benevolence if you must.

I don't view it as a deficiency in other species' ability to communicate. It's a deficiency in our ability to listen. The reefs are speaking up, they're literally laying their lives on the line and the 'body' count is communication to humans that we should stop. It's not just coral, we are in the middle of a mass extinction event. One that just so happens to correlate with the exponential growth of humanity.

I think it's fair for people to question direct participation in exponential population growth. More people for more people's sake is not a solution, it's a problem. Of course this leads to a lot of really bad ideas about population control. Its a hard problem to solve, but I argue it's the same class of hardness as getting people to change their behavior in the middle of a mass extinction that doesn't impact them with anything but second order effects.
Neither of those are unbiased. In fact they are constantly biased against Tesla and towards legacy auto.

>if you need a very expensive sensor package, the only large market available is taxis.

But absolutely the only benefit it brings to a taxi is reduced labor costs. So if the capital cost is so high that you can't sell an $80-$100K self-driving car to moderately wealthy people, are you really going to be able to undercut Uber drivers? (And labor costs don't go to zero anyway as someone needs to clean and maintain the vehicles.)

What is causing the end-less work? Have you communicated your limits to your manager, or do they simply not care? How about your colleagues, do they feel the same?

Talking from personal experience, as I am a "good worker", and tend to take up every problem I see and solve it. Which is kind of self-exploiting and not sustainable in the long-run. I have to actively remind myself that setting limits and communicating them is part of the job, as otherwise you'll end up burnt out. The difficulty here is, it may be even okay in some short-time frame, it is not black and white.

Just food for thought: Would it be an option to be also frank about it to future employers? E.g. I am currently not at the top of my skills due the current work-load. Would they be willing to re-negotiate after a certain time of working part-time to recover?

Personally, I value in a company (or team) more that they treat you humanely, than having a pay-check which is possibly three times as high as now. But that is the luxury of having a high salary.
Off-by-one errors, they’re not just for programmers anymore.
This is sadly true, but service workers are themselves hard to get right, and they tend to create subtle cache issues that are hard to notice until the deployment after their deployment to production.
