I can't see what Deno even is.

Clicking the "deno" name at the top of the linked page takes me to another page that says just "cli" and "deploy". Great!

Clicking CLI (why?) reveals it is a Javascript runtime in Rust. OK, what does one do with that? We know Javascript runtimes come built into browsers. What would I do with one on its own? Anywhere I could run it, I could run code that actually does something, instead.

So I ... run it and use it to run somebody else's JS code? Whose? Or link it into something (what?) that I distribute, that runs somebody else's JS code? Whose? Is this a thing to bolt into an alternative browser, next to a CSS renderer, to compete with Chrome? Or into Chromium, in place of Google's JS engine?

I can guess at answers to these questions, but why make me guess?
Interestingly I couldn’t submit this URL to HN because it would take me to an original story that was posted 6 months ago. So I had to put it a random query string at the end of the URL like this

https://status.aws.amazon.com/?x=1000

@Dang, any way HN can allow new submissions to the same URL? Thank you .
One interesting thing here is that this is working against selection bias.

That is, if you have had it then you start out susceptible to it. So the cohort studied for this number may differ from that studied for vaccines studies, particularly those performed selectively on people who have not contracted covid.

Of course, I'm assuming here that people have different likelyhoods of contracting the virus given similar exposures. That seems reasonable but I don't know how large the effect is.

I must've heard an out-of-character, anecdotal individual French person scoffing at PB who doesn't speak for everyone, or they were being sarcastically-ironic. I also recall a French acquaintance in Mountain View laughing at PB. I like food from every country, there's always something good. Maybe like there are always different kinds of people anywhere, there are those with narrow minds and cool ones who will try almost everything.

Roquefort is awesome. Interestingly, my late grandmother used to add it to salads all of the time. A little goes a looong ways, similar in a sense to blue cheese. Boursin-brand soft cheese is good with crackers and wine. Brie, of course, baked with butter and elephant garlic (partially oven-roasted by cutting the top of the head off a whole bulb and a tiny bit of butter/oil on top). If you're obsessed with garlic, the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California is everything bulb and it's been held for many years. In south San Jose, you can always tell when garlic harvesting is because of the smell in the air.

Another difficult one to find in the US is real Parmigiano Reggiano Stravecchio (not the imitations), which Trader Joe's has. Aldi Nord FTW.

If it weren't for cheese, I would be vegan. So like I'm half French, maybe I'm half vegan. Which half is a guess. ;-)

> MMT describes how currency works, and always has worked.

So you agree with my parent comment? My reference to Weimar Germany and late-2000s Zimbabwe was intended to point out the broadly-acknowledged normative implications of the descriptive content that's shared by MMT and the FTPL.
They are vaccines and you should update your knowledge. Herd immunity needs to happen or our economy and health will be suffering for years. The chance of complications is also basically zero. If you want to chicken out and not get one that's fine, but don't spread disinformation. The mRNA vaccine is not gene therapy. Again you are spreading misinformation with that. Stop reading right wing trash sites and read some science sites.
That's the problem. You have n*m possible combinations of clients, leading to many opportunities for bugs, and everyone has to degrade to the lowest common denominator because you can't upgrade in lockstep.

> Monetary constraints are just as binding as fiscal ones

Even if that were the case (and its not; in the metaphor of the fisc, there is a hard advance limit—money must come into the fisc by tax or borrowing to be spent, wasn’t hasn’t come in cannot be spent—whereas monetary constraints are more of the “you can do it, but there will be consequences” type), the key thing is that the (real) monetary constraints are different than the (illusory, stemming from a bad metaphor) fiscal ones.
Yes, climate change is happening. Do most people who are not progressive westerners care? No. Can you convince them without bribing or bullying them? No. Does calling it an emergency make you look like a crazy person? Yes.
Not that I'm aware of. It was just something we figured out together.

It had something to do with partial rows that looped back on themselves to create wedges that increased the row count on one side of the garment versus the other. There was a need to create partial rows of different lengths to make sure the garment fanned correctly, but I don't know how she figured that part out. She was specifically attempting to create a garment where the rows ran 90 degrees to down the length of the garment, instead of across, to give a different texture.

Can you buy one today other than the HP EliteBook 845 G8, which starts over $2300? Because you can buy M1 laptops yesterday for less than half that and I can't find any other 5800U series laptops for sale.
We need both, to be completely honest. Nuclear is a zero-carbon (well, low-carbon), sustainable solution to powering the world. And the safest form of energy in the world when measured in terms of deaths per TWh of generated power. Not a popular opinion, I'll grant you.
I've just had a quick look, and there are some very small BGA-packaged STM32 chips about. With a competent PCB fab you might be able to knock together a board with 8 jumper pins that wouldn't be much bigger in total than a SOIP attiny, but that's another job plus whatever peripheral components need to be added. Might be a fun design job, though.

https://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDetail/STMicroelectronics/ST... looks like it might be a lot of fun, but it's got a 6 month lead time on it.
Some of us have to. Weirdly, the bitcoin exchanges are all there.
To some extent I agree with you, which is why I wrote "they think". Most people's ideologies are based on misinformed understandings of history and science. Reactionaries are probably more likely to be misinformed than conservatives and, in general, other kinds of moderates are. But I doubt they are more likely to be misinformed than progressives are. I think maybe in general, moderates are more likely to be well-informed than extremists. Gumption-based approaches are common among progressives and reactionaries alike. Maybe even more common among progressives, although I wouldn't put money on it.
I'm thankful, honestly, that those crowded out the weekly wonderous new battery technology discovered that will revolutionize everything.
"Given the circumstances, Scientific American has agreed with major news outlets worldwide to start using the term “climate emergency” in its coverage of climate change."

This seems reasonable and appropriate. As much as I want to believe in humanity, I'm not optimistic that we're going to be able to actually solve this before things get really bad.
Those are pretty good glasses if you can see the covid virus on surfaces.

Looking at how small the numbers are, I think the error on finer grain analysis would end up being misleading. The data seems to be saying lockdowns are not really a significant factor
Some intertwined problems, which we mostly try to nervously look away from in this forum/industry/epoch:

- (effectively all) humans are first of all impulsive, driven by emotion and tribal identity, and most of all, subject to cognitive errors and for that reason and others, predictably effective manipulation

- the tools/practices for such manipulation, which many on HN are actively advancing because yaaay $$$, are now so powerful as to in aggregate overwhelm all current defenses (including good intentions, individual discernment, and various technical solutions ITT)

- the financial/power incentives to abuse such tools and short circuit, bypass, block, subvert, etc., attempts to defend against these tools are overwhelming

Look at the news cycle, for the 99th time the intersection of Facebook's utter sociopathology and the utter toothlessness of its sham oversight board and nominal internal protocols and standards is headline news.

As a further clarification of my earlier remarks, when I was talking about Parrot developers not being interested in Perl 6 at all, I was not referring to your era, but to considerably earlier times: https://www.sidhe.org/oldblog/archives/000435.html

Deno is a secure server side runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript. It is an alternative to Node.
It has some features that zfs lacks such as a dedup story that is actually usable, plus more flexibility in reshaping. Other than its native raid 5/6 story what major features is it lacking in comparison to zfs? I agree the tooling is trash compared to zfs (zfs command line is a delight by comparison). Also stability wise i haven’t noted problems in years. Not to take anything away from zfs which has proven itself in its particular use cases, but btrfs is alright.
They are enforced and, again, this exploit was an example of that.

Yes Valve could do a better job at supporting esports. But there will always be in-game exploits as well as out of game methods to cheat so ultimately it is down to the individual participants to cheat or not.

Also these tournaments are run by third parties on third party servers. Valve isn't even involved except for a small role in the once a year majors (that haven't happened for like two years now). So saying this isn't enforced just because Valve didn't fix a bug makes no sense because Valve isn't the company that enforces these things anyways.
Running apt-get install wine ( wrong version) uninstalled my OS

With such a tiny number of confirmed re-infections from a virus that has been around for over a year, it seems pretty clear that natural immunity works very well and lasts a lot longer than many people feared. The various vaccine makers have all been very vocal that their vaccines would elicit an even more robust and longer-lasting immune response. I suppose that's what we would expect them to say, but they must have some science behind those predictions.
Fuck them. I canceled my subscription when they jumped on the white supremacy conspiracy bandwagon and said everyone was racist.
I love the simplicity of Pass, but I wanted just a few more features, like being able to store (and retrieve) extra data easily. Unstructured data below the initial password wasn't really enough for me.

I ended up taking huge inspiration from Pass, but writing my own implementation[1] with a few more features that increased it's usefulness for my use cases.

I posted it a while ago on here[2] and Reddit[3], but it basically stores each entry as a Bash script, which gives it so much flexibility: auto-typing, references, multiple fields, executable functions, etc. I also wrote a blog post on it[4].

I'd be interested to hear what people think of if if anyone did/does end up giving it a go.

At this point is there anybody who reads this journal or watches the news regularly who doesn't have an opinion on the situation?

I really dislike how it feels scientists are positioning themselves into politics more and more. I have less and less confidence that journals are attempting to describe and report without bias.

Maybe it's because I hadn't read anything but tech related white papers pre-covid, but reading a ton of research during covid really lowered my expectations for the standard to which publishing scientists hold themselves to.
And Signal saw that movement, and decided instead of focusing all their development effort in making sure the user experience for all these new users was top notch and developing in the open, instead to push a cryptocoin that no one has heard of before but one which their principals likely have a stash of.

Given Signal's behavior, I am not going to waste any friendship capital trying to convince my friends to switch to Signal.
Probably depends on the culture. My slack is pretty dead generally. However, imagine you are a new hire. You see the slack is active. You want to be seen, so you are now active on slack, and it ramps up from there. I think its less addiction, and more corporate-culture virtue signalling. "Look at how much I'm on slack 'working' and how readily I throw away my personal free time to be here on slack, please promote me."

I think slack knows a certain amount of people are like this, and have crafted the patterns in their product to maximize this behavior. That's why I get many notification emails a day that frequently leave out messages or repeat ones I've been sent already, to maximize my time checking the main client and be thinking of slack throughout the working day. Slack wants organizations to feel reliant on its services, even when it does little more in practice than email threads have done for my org at least.
> the risk of dying from the vaccine for young women was higher than the risk of dying from the virus

Do you have a good source you'd recommend for this? I couldn't find this bit of info from the first few articles I skimmed.

> After the concerns about AZ turned out to be justified and AZ being banned for certain age groups you'd think that people would get a clue about unconditional vaccine cheerleading.

Who is unconditionally cheerleading which vaccines?
(A) vaccination means less social distancing sooner. Lots of people are interested that.

(B) covid-19 might very well become endemic. Like how the common cold is always around. It's not so bad if we're vaccinated. But for those that don't get vaccinated hurd immunity might not cover them.

In practice: I think we just need to be honest about the risk of vaccines. And say that taking it is the patriotic thing to do :)

It does have one huge advantage, you can have a deduped btrfs filesystem without using any extra RAM - and you can run the dedupe process "offline" when the system isn't busy, instead of having it run all the time in real time. For many uses, that is an absolute killer feature.

That's exactly what they'll be studying to see if it's statistically relevant. They're being super cautious. Some would say over cautious but I think it's fine since J&J is currently only 5-10% of the vaccine supply going out. Which means a slight slow down in vaccine supply but not as big a deal as AZ in Europe since that is their main supply.
>But airplaines are engineered by humans, we know everything about how they are supposed to work until the last bit of physics.

>We don't have the same absolute understanding of mechanisms with vaccines.

Having even less knowledge about how vaccines and our immune systems work seems like reason to be even more cautious, not less cautious.

Especially considering the fact that autoimmune disorders have been on the rise for decades, and we don't know why.
The separation of church and state is precisely because we DO want state laws to enforce morals.

We also want that enforcement to apply no matter what religion you have.

Sure it's easy to make HTTP requests to an HTTP REST-like API. That's not the complexity. Look at the data structures, how many fields a simple thing like a Pod have. It's actually insanely complex, and if you are using Kubernetes, you have to understand most of them.

The author show the structure of every endpoint:

/api/[version]/namespaces/[namespace]/[resource]/[name]

How is that simple?
Because we can prove by induction. If a Visa transaction consumed as much power as a single Bitcoin payment, Visa alone would consume 3X as much power as the entire world generates and be responsible for 100% of the world's e-waste production.

A single Bitcoin transaction now consumes 30 days of power for the average household, as much as it takes a Tesla to drive from SF to well past New York, at this point closer to SF-NY-Miami. And generates half an iPhone of e-waste (100g).

It also consumes 5X as much energy as mining gold, which is the second worst option.

I suspect upgrading the phrasing to "emergency" is just going to have the opposite effect and make people care less. Sort of like how no one cares about the "THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS CHEMICALS KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER" warnings that are on literally everything.
"Most citations of D-K are examples of D-K."

Really most of what people think is D-K is just statistics analogous to reversion to the mean: people assume they are typical, so less-skilled people naturally guess they are better, and higher-skilled guess they are less.

If D-K means anything, it has to be a variance on top of this effect. Such an effect does seem to appear, where the very least skilled imagine there is no deep skill to learn.

Deno’s import system is just the ecmascript import system. So, it works exactly the same way it does in the browser. Or with curl. Or whatever. You just supply a uri and get the resource at that location. Things like import maps are just a way to make that more convenient during development, but there’s no secret system for pulling these pieces together; it’s just the ecmascript module standard (that didn’t exist until more recently).

I have no issue whatsoever with calling it a "Climate Emergency". However, when you open nearly any Scientific American topics page and find a bunch of partisan opinion pieces all leaning towards Progressive causes, it's going to be too easy to dismiss this for a lot of people.
The scientist I'm referring to (Mohsen Fakhrizadeh) was not killed as part of a legitimate strike on a military facility, he was killed in his car with his wife sitting in the seat next to him, on a road with many civilians around.

I am doubtful that Iranian agents doing these same actions to scientists in the US or Israel on the street would be considered a legitimate military action and not terrorism.
