Interesting. Looks like they're talking about the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine which uses a reengineered virus as a delivery mechanism.
If there is enough interest I would be happy to try, but not yet :)
You're right about your main points: for some years before Sun's demise Java was neglected and lacked resources, and Oracle has gradually but significantly increased its investment in the platform. It is also true that the abnormality of ~2000-2005, when there were few popular languages, has ended. But the following two facts are also true: Scala didn't invent those features, and neither Kotlin nor Scala are big enough to be serious competitors for Java. So Java might be feeling the heat of competition, but not from those two, and, like all other languages, it looks around and borrows features, but not from those two more than others.

It is possible that Java platform languages might indicate the palatability of certain features to Java programmers more than non-Java platform languages, and the Java language designers do have a closer relationship with the designers of other Java platform languages. But overall, these effects are not particularly big. Knowing the current designers of the language, I can say with certainty that Haskell has served as a bigger inspiration than either Kotlin or Scala on recent features and their design (inspiration, not direct source).
Yeah, but these days it will probably be about a guy named Rod who is the best at fishing...but not really.
Just an idle rumination...

It is curious to me how when a programmer does something beautiful and creative, it is (rightly) revered by other programmers, such as this example.

On the other hand, if someone who is not a programmer but is an artist or a writer, dabbles in programming, it is often met with derision and extreme nitpicking by programmers.

In other words, there seems to be a bit of a double-standard, where in one's own discipline one is able to appreciate creativity and art, but if someone else uses dabs of one's discipline in theirs, one can no longer see the artistic merit and can only fixate on the technical limitations.
The answer is April 14th for those too lazy to read the article.

Whoops. My bad. It's 4.49 dollars. Fixing it right now. Thanks for trying it out
> Not OP, but I would guess the simplest formula is to total up (Heath care - gun violence). i.e. the more likely you are to have health care for whatever happens to you, and the less likely you are to get shot, the better.

What in the world does that formula have to do with freedom? If anything, you are trying to maximize for security with it, which is generally in opposition to freedom.

As for bankruptcy, it depends on whether you are talking about chapter 7 or chapter 13. Just kidding, that question was nonsense too. I think you're just trying to shoehorn zingers into the response.
Writing some test software based on Martian time might be a good way to prevent some DateTime issues when we do start living there.
I can imagine a boots on the ground approach searching door to door to find and execute people using it.

When no one will stop you doing something, you can go as far as you want.

WEIRD people see this type of situation as very catastrophic, strange, and alien, but when you crack open the history books present day Myanmar is a regular day at the office on planet earth and it's all the WEIRD people who are actually the anomaly.
Interesting. I’d assume some level of interest from the IB world at that level.
3rd party AV sdks? This reeks of snake oil. They should just stop treating the device as a hardware security anchor.
And how is it still ok that most android phones in the wild do not get security upgrades, let alone timely ones?
The null hypothesis is that we don't know why/how they contracted the virus. Parent doesn't have to know it's true, or be an expert in anything.
but again, if it gets as bad as in Myanmar, a)laws wont help b) we will have bigger problems.

Is shutting down internet a small step towards a coup, as opposed to being the fruit of one? In the case of the US, i don't think it's likely short or medium term.

What about police abusing this power? That's a local government problem, not a national one, so it's different to what's going on in myanmar.
Unfortunately with the pandemic it was kind of no win for a politician.
You obviously didn't follow the OnePlus' motto (:
Wouldn't make a difference in this instance. Not only would they need base stations somewhere in country but the users would require a dish. Both could and probably would be in this case found and destroyed by the military.
Don't worry. If they're able to invert a binary tree in under 15 minutes, I'm sure they can figure this one out too.
People have to keep renewing the contract to pay for those copies though. Afaik there's nothing that guarantees people will maintain them indefinitely after the contract expires.

Damned Earth-centric systems..
> End-to-end encryption poses an unacceptable risk to user safety
"Reboot to initialize" is ugly as hell and very brittle, but it's good enough for most I/O devices like keyboards or headphones. If the kernel is able to properly reinitialize the chip with all of its old association information, it might even be indistinguishable from a few hundred ms of interference. (Rebooting on errors is in fact quite common for all kinds of hardware in high-radiation environments, and is a pretty standard kernel technique for working around buggy hardware.)

Now, of course, multiple nines of uptime would be very nice to have (and open up new use-cases), but 2-3 nines is still a lot better than 0.
Cerebral understanding can help carry you further inside how a poem works, and increase your enjoyment of it. It's a lot like the scientist who asks in wonder "Why does it do that?"

But you first start with the sense of wonder coming to you unaided, and the author makes a mistake in assuming that. You're absolute right that you can't think your way into that sense of wonder.

There are poems that inspire it, though they vary from person to person. And it will change through your life. If you feel it, you can be like a scientist, and study it, increasing the feeling for yourself without losing that sense of wonder.

It may increase your taste for the more exotic and abstruse, but the author makes a mistake that those exotic ones are better and more meritorious. The more exotic they are, the more personal the appeal will be. It really sucks that some people get to be elites and tell you which ones are the good ones -- and then they get to write the textbooks.
With the Mail.app pegging their CPU to 100%, those three people are unlikely to notice. Frankly, it's unlikely for the attacker to be able to do anything either, aside from force-terminating Mail.app.

(Disclaimer: I want to like Mail.app, but I don't need another fan in my office.)
Yeah this one really tears at the heart strings. Google "food insecurity charity" or Charity Navigator or Charity Watch to find one you trust if you'd like to help.

Today it is the largest single donation to IA. Tomorrow based on the value of FIL, it may be the smallest single donation.
Biden Actively Considering Cancelling Student Loan Debt of Up to $50k
Actually the whole point why this EM drive is interesting actually is that the measurements contradicted conservation of momentum. Otherwise having a small effect not contradicting any established physics is basically worthless.
That assumes that, at this point in time, having a "vaccine passport" confers some concrete benefit. It's also more like 2 weeks vs. 5 weeks. The other factor is if you end up getting a vaccine somewhere 2 hours away or something like that. Which is a reasonable consideration but fairly minor in the scheme of things.
Plenty of countries have paired lockdowns with rent&mortgage freezes, furlough, assistance for the needy in general, etc.

Both problems have solutions.
One thing the KJV has in common with Burton's translation is a certain deliberate archaism -- its language was rather old-fashioned when it was published in 1610.

There's (obviously) absolutely nothing with liking deliberately archaic, slightly high-flown language.
Personally I find it rather annoying in Burton but like it in the KJV, but different people have different tastes.

Though ... A lot of people who read the KJV are doing so not so much for the enjoyment of its literary style, but because they believe it to be the Word of God; unfortunately this means that many people are seeking divine enlightenment from a translation that (1) in many cases they don't understand well just because its language is hundreds of years separated from what they're accustomed to speaking and reading, and that (2) is based on now-outdated textual scholarship and therefore does a suboptimal job of reporting what the allegedly divinely inspired writers actually wrote. That seems unfortunate.
Yeah that's right, I'm not sure how you could possibly value or incentivize indefinite storage. All storage mediums are consumable and require upkeep, a "one time" pricing model doesn't really make sense.
It was closed for 8 years!

"After Egypt closed the Suez canal at the beginning of the Six-Day War on 5 June 1967, the canal remained closed for precisely eight years, reopening on 5 June 1975." from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suez_Canal#Arab%E2%80%93Israel...

I first heard about it in RealLifeLore's "The 8-Year Long Worst Traffic Jam in History" => https://youtu.be/4DiXRCo7eBs
I keep getting bounced out of the flow by the author describing the relation A<=B as "A is bigger than B". I get that the order relation is arbitrary, but that's just irritating. Perhaps using "precedes" rather than "is bigger" would be helpful. I also don't think the assertion that anti-symmetry excludes equality ("no ties are permitted"). The usual definition of antisymmetry specifically requires equality: a<=b && b<=a -> a==b (i.e. a<=b -> !(b<=a) is a stronger restriction than mere antisymmetry.)
One anticipates a network that operates with a faster-than-light "because" pipe,
or you just have a planetary local NTP server and let something upstream do the Einsteinian gymnastics with the timestamps.
I wonder if everyone would click just for fun how it would modify the ad business....
Its all over – every comment on current turn of events is already told?
I’m not really sure what your point is? The block was created on the that date, that had that title.

It’s a complete coincidence. Again if that was an explicit goal it would be in the white paper.
Current Israeli death rates are with some social distancing measures, but nowhere near lockdown. They're having concerts and (vaccinated-people-only) indoor dining.
Hey I'm a contributor to prestosql (the one that renamed to Trino). I'll provide a few of my opinions into some of these from the vantage point of our project.

* It's definitely confusing but pretty common in open source projects to see the original creators split off when corporate oversight interferes with the OS governance model. (https://www.computerworld.com/article/2746627/hudson-devs-vo...). This is especially true when, as the OP mentioned, it's a pretty cool tech and a lot of interest in it. Now that the names are different, it is clearing up a bit. We're hoping in a few years there will be one project standing so that you won't have to choose. I don't have to tell you which one I think it is.

* Active-active HA is not really necessary IMO as Trino is designed for low latency interactive queries in general. It can handle longer running batch queries but it gives up fault tolerance to fail fast and you just resubmit the query vs predecessors like Hive, Spark, etc... that handle ETL and long running batch processes efficiently but this adds complexity to the query to checkpoint the work. I could see the need for an active-passive HA to have on deck during a failure. Setting up your own active-passive HA is as simple as putting two coordinators behind a proxy and pointing your workers to the proxy address. Then you basically have the proxy run health checks and flip over in the event of an outage. Here's the issue to track native HA though https://github.com/trinodb/trino/issues/391.

* I'm not sure why autoscaling is said to be difficult. I think this is why you have kubernetes and docker to manage this type of workload.

* The only reason this is a pain to me is that engineers wanting to join our community and commit have a bit of a learning curve and depends heavily on us mentoring and guiding them on how the REST API works, which we don't mind. However, I agree with this choice from a design perspective for the user. If you want to use Trino, it's better not to be exposed to this implementation detail or mess with how this works. It will likely cause you more pain.

* This has improved in the last two years since we branched from PrestoDB 2019 (https://trino.io/blog/2020/01/01/2019-summary.html) and 2020 (https://trino.io/blog/2021/01/08/2020-review.html).

* Agreed, we are working on what's the better model here: https://github.com/trinodb/trino/discussions/6573
If the government is lawless enough that it will trample on the rights of the citizens, then the laws that prevent citizens from setting up wireless networks securely to recreate the internet backbone are null and void.

(With all the risks that comes with operating + defending a detectable RF emitter from the ground in a hostile environment)

If you want to work to prevent this, keep enough technology and know-how on hand that you could do this on short notice, even if's as simple flinging 5mb/s on a cantana a mile away.
Well, a LOT of students were unhappy about the changes. Truth is not a lot of students post about their experience on social media, and of those that are unhappy with the school dare not post under their real name. We’re job-seeking with the school on our resume, after all.
That's not what the statistics say:

There are financial primitives that cannot exist in traditional finance that I'd call pretty novel. For example flash loans allow uncollateralized loans for millions of dollars[0]. Or take KeeperDAO[1] or Dai[2] or any of the other meta protocols generating returns by providing utility. Also the sheer fact that this is all decentralized/identity-less is already a novel aspect.

17k lines of shell? Hah give me the infinity lines of Go that is kubernetes — maintaining shell scripts is a nightmare. At least Go is a proper language with an ecosystem and tests and established best practices, etc., etc.

Also namespaces are a killer feature of K8s imo
I have been reviewing security for unofficial builds, and it's pretty abysmal, same for GPL compliance by the ROM creators. Could you share how you reviewed security for the unofficial ROM?

I'm putting a list of actions to take, but so far it appears it will take days to review ROMS, alternatively download a rom, review what is in it and build from Lineage official source, with Lineage having the better privacy record ....

Some things I would need to check:

- The binary blobs at least match the originals, for example binaries from xiaomi

- Included applications that DO publish their source match the published source / binaries built from said source

- Permissions are sane/correct and don't have too many 777 where it is not needed, which is often set for convenience during development

- That developers are aware and transparent about any telemetry or spyware, which appears to receive a rather cavalier approach from many developers.

This is just one example of developer hostility and incompetence on the xiaomi eu rom community when asked about spyware:
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/why-does-xiaomi-eu-rom-t...

There are many more to be found at the XDA forum, under custom roms.

There are also some older discussions on HN, xiaomi related, but it does bring up the larger point - how many of the applications and core functionality in custom roms is spyware ? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26306661

With over 10 years of full stack web development experience, I'm interested in solving business problems with useful and practical software. I do my best work in complex long-term projects where technical tradeoffs can be openly discussed and involvement in product design and UX is possible.

I'm currently learning modern frontend tech (TypeScript, React, Next.js, ...) and kubernetes; and willing to learn new backend stacks if required, especially Python or Kotlin.
As all engineering, it boils down to requirements. Mycoplasmata, from which JCVI-syn3A has been developed, is reported to "survive without oxygen", which means that it's not necessarily a "pure" anaerobic organism. We must assume that there has to be an existing mechanism that protects this bacteria from highly reactive oxygen. If the design requirements don't include surviving the natural environment, then that is one of probably many more areas to trim genetic "fat" from. However, I don't know much about their work on synthetic bacteria nor the environment used for it, so it's possible that the aforementioned mechanism to be already removed from its genes.
Arweave (https://www.arweave.org/) is attempting it. Of course, we'll have to wait and see if they're successful.
What are the options for those who foolishly installed an OS version later than Snow Leopard and can't run Eudora?
The english translation that you quoted sounds very similar in nature to the english translation of Quranic verses. The Quran is kind of poetic in its language and hence its translation always sounds a bit odd. This makes me wonder whether the original Arabian Nights were also in the nature of a narrative poem?
Yeah, the "it's just a web counter, so maybe just keep the window small" suggestion I made in the end was not meant to say that this provides any consistency, just that it keeps the underestimation of actual visitors smaller.

By the way, I'm totally aware that those counters didn't matter, but I thought it's worth discussing anyway. Someone might read this and apply it to things that matter.
I think the story here (at least my intent when I submitted it) was that Ubiquiti released a "statement" in response to the Krebs article and, distressingly, they don't seem to challenge any of the article's core assertions. Their response seems to be "Oh, um, yes...that happened. But hey! We don't think they accessed any customer information! So...please stop looking at this."
Sort of. Unix time does not count leap seconds, all days are 86400 seconds long in Unix time. So the actual number of seconds since the epoch is a bit larger than what time() returns.

I don't know how Windows deals with leap seconds (its epoch is in 1601 or something like that). Edit: it doesn't, the clock goes 1 second ahead of UTC and it's then fixed by NTP.
Earthers get their clock. Dusters get their clock. Belters still no get clock of their own.

>Acting like an elitist by withholding the information because "you're not smart enough to make this decision" is what makes the approach so infantile.

counterpoint: if a person believes themselves to be "smart enough to make this decision", they should also be smart enough to read the research and make that conclusion for themselves which one is better for their specific situation, no?

AFAIK, the research is publically available, so it's not a problem of a lack of information, rather it's a lack of anyone with significant enough credentials willing to speak up and endorse a particular solution over the others.
