You get used to it (playing a sport hungover, even). If you’re not a competitive athlete on a high level (it’s just a hobby), you’re missing out by not drinking because of your sport. If you enjoy drinking, that is.
What I meant is we know what happens if we have working vaccine. Meaning that working vaccine leads to less people being sick and that leads to less deaths from virus.

As to the vaccine itself it is usually easy to come up with a formula that can disrupt the virus (any potent poison or lava flow can do that). The difficult part is that the formula must also not disrupt anything important. No amount of knowledge about virology can help with the second part, human body is vastly more complex than the virus.

It depends a bit on the engine too. A long time ago I designed & built a multi-platform 3D game engine that used quaternions internally for many things, but exposed Euler PYR angles for most "game-level" object controls. We (the engine team) asked around and ended up deciding that the minuscule performance gain and better mathematical behavior from using quats everywhere would be more than offset by some of the devs being unable to reason about how the enemy ended up pointing the wrong direction, when looking at values in the debugger.

A close family member is a well-known member of the pharmaceutical industry.

This family member has told me on probably 10 occasions that if acetaminophen and many common NSAIDs were sent through an FDA clinical trial today, they would stand absolutely no chance of passing.

Is this true? If so, does anyone else know why this is?

Wanting to replace space (" ") with dashes ("-") or slashes ("/") is not an outrageous request. People will understand 2020/02/02 as easily as 2020-02-02 or 2020 02 02. Offering an easy way to replace that character would not have been too hard, instead we're stuck with string replacement or regex to achieve a fairly common operation when it comes to dates.
Getting fired would be the best thing that could happen to me, I would be smiling like a kid on Christmas morning feeling pure happiness and relief. I hate the job, I hate the pressure, I hate the environment. The pay is very good, but I have many years of living expenses saved up, so the pay is not a factor anymore.

Why am I not quitting? I was hired to be a tech lead/manager a bit more than a year ago and a lot of people rely on me, it would suck immensely to have a boss that everyone likes quit on you after just one year. I have been on the other side and I know how bad it would feel. People love me, as I turned around a heavily burned out team, unfortunately severely burning myself out in the process…

But realistically, I’ll most likely quit soon regardless, I am on the edge and one little crisis from here (production outage, argument with my director, …) will push me over. Some of my direct reports have been telling me: “I see you are burning out, let me know anything I can do to help, it would be awful if you were to quit and we were to report back to the old management”.

I am in an insanely stressful hedge fund, the quintessential definition of pressure cooker. 70-80h a week of distress and brutal oncall, including weekends. It’s tough for individual contributors who have to deliver work, but for (technical) managers is hell on earth.
Nonsensical- this logic selectively measures the weight of the brain mass of an organism or collective of organisms as a means of determining how much suffering is inflicted. We may as measure suffering by testicle size or some other arbitrary factor. This is an argument seeking a conclusion, not a reasonable estimation on relative morality. They have set up a strawman!

We must put a far heavier weight on neural complexity in determining the moral cost of a life. We must also put a heavier weight on the lifespan-
an organism that lives longer has more chance to become cognizant it is suffering.
The complexity and richness of that neural network is what determines the relative meaning it has to the suffering induced.

Hey there my name is Chris, I'm a junior developer looking to join a startup company part time (no Minimum hours).

I work on ZenMaid(RoR) and ZenGift(React & Node).

I'm looking specifically for jobs in Germany and as a freelancer.

Why me: I came from operations and built the infrastructure for both the dev side and other departments of ZenMaid. I know how to communicate, I know how to organize and I am dedicated at solving whatever issue is thrown my way.

I've built 3 Zapier integrations, built many features for ZenMaid, established the start of ZenGift.com during the pandemic so maid service owners customers can help keep their companies alive through gift cards. All that in 2 years

If you're wanting someone that can do only a few hours a week or need some back up, then I'm the guy for you.

If you need insight in not only Code but infrastructure of your business, then I'm also the guy for you. I provided the infrastructure to take my current company from $13k/mo to over $100k/mo.

While I do enjoy coding I am open to do operations based work to make sure the product you make can handle the customers you bring.
> This might be the ancient ancestor of the technology that Apple uses to run x86 binaries on their M1 ARM-based chips

Surely such an ancestor would be based on Apple's 68k->PPC transition in the mid-90s or its PPC->x64 transition in the 00s.
This is actually an old story. IoT was always half-jokingly referred to as the Insecurity of Things at the cyber security gatherings and conferences.
It's running out of memory and that's when the memory pressure becomes notable enough to affect the terminal app. The same would happen on any other system - in fact it'll become unusable more quickly on Intel.

Ah, so we've already reached the cycle where the media is reporting that all the scientist are thinking it wasn't a lab leak.

So next we have the "lab leak considered racist/harmful/conspiracy theory" spin again, followed by the "most scientists don't want to rule out the possibility of being a lab leak" spin. Excellent!
It is both. How many hackers from Russian & fmr Soviet countries attack within those countries?

Very few. So few that they literally encode checks for RUS language / keyboard installs and skip that machine, and doing such install is at least for now a legit security measure [1]. This isn't just from RUS legal structure and no extradition treaties, but their very intimidating response to anyone acting up internally (I've read of at least one instance where a hacker was found dead at his keyboard with missing hands). RUS security doesn't eff around, and we shouldn't either.

Many people will not play at the pointy end of the NatSec game because you are risking your life, and some do because of that. It is definitely a useful measure, among others, to make it known that trespassing with such intent on western computer systems is also getting you into that risk category.

This looks like a slightly inferior version of https://streamyard.com/ (in particular, fewer participants at each price level) - do you have any value propositions above what they offer?
I blame Intel. For years i9 wasn’t just a “beefed up i7”, it was a high end line of CPUs with 10+ cores costing $1000+, meant for professional workstations that didn’t need Xeon’s ECC RAM support. Then suddenly i9 started to also mean “a beefed up i7”.

Maybe they did this in the hope that the i9 HEDT “brand halo” would help them sell more of these consumer CPUs. But if that’s the case, they don’t get to complain when someone posts that an M1 beat an i9 and people accidentally interpret that as “the M1 competes against Intel’s HEDT line”.
“Whatever they do,” said Francesco, “none of this will ever stop. Drug money is what makes the world go around.”

Well, they could make drugs legal. I guess the question then is, are drugs illegal because it's profitable?
> I always hear these rumors that the next Silicon Valley will be Austin, or Santa Monica, or Miami and so on.

Seattle and NYC have much more developed tech ecosystems than any of those, and are legit #2's to Silicon Valley.
Throttling is one thing that can cause high kernel_task usage, but you can also run ‘pmset -g thermlog’ to verify whether it’s actually due to throttling/cooling issues.
This is a Chinese vaccine, probably looking for good western PR. Since the dates where omitted one can safely assume they timed the 2nd jab with the end if a flu season. A quick google shows this is March - April. Covid deaths spike during the flu season. They should realistically compare to average deaths for that time period, rather than comparing flu season deaths to non flu season deaths.

GTD style in Outlook tasks. I find it hard to record things in there though. I find myself just using my memory or writing in a text file a lot of the time and using the Outlook tasks as a record of the important items.
All I get is a blank screen, on account of the page being apparently constructed entirely of third-party scripts.
I love pairing bitters with my sodastream! A few of my favorite recipes are: 1) Grapefruit & Cherry, 2) Cardamom, and 3) Orange & Cranberry. Clearly it's all to taste, but a 3-4 dashes of each bitter is a good starting point for a ~16oz glass of seltzer.

Fee Brothers sells a 12 piece variety pack which is a great way to experiment. After that you have quite a rabbit hole of bitters brands and flavors to explore!
Exactly. The numbers don't back up the narrative unless you do mental gymnastics to redefine Europe. HN often seems to forget that Europe extends south beyond the Alps and east beyond the Oder.
Oh come on, comparing it to the "best" intel mac laptop makes sense when you only care about that form factor/specific model, which is the case for a big part of many industries (Software included)
> IIRC the Pentium line did not make this mistake. (Though the Celeron line could be very confusing, if I recall correctly.)

Current Pentium and Celeron chips can either be mobile variants of the Core line or... Atoms.

I have a Celeron N4100 in my cheap netbook. It's listed as "Gemini Lake" in Intel ARK, which is a rebranding of its original lineage... Goldmont. (Goldmont Plus)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Celeron_micropro...

If you were to look at other Gemini Lake cores... You'll see that "Pentium Silver" also falls into that group.

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/codenam...

TLDR: Intel has made it nearly impossible for anyone to know if they're getting Core based or Atom based mobile chips unless significant research is done beforehand.

This is not to say avoid Atoms at all costs. The N4100 I have is reasonably on par with the Core 2 Q6600 quad, which was quite the beast of a chip back in its day.

The current Atoms are nothing like the in-order-execution only monstrosities they originally launched as... but I still find Intel's branding a bit more than confusing. If incredibly deceitful.

I haven't read this paper, but extrapolating from my experience working with other super-resolution scopes: reconstruction. Instead of measuring the pixels directly, you measure some projection of them and then have to solve an inference problem to recover the image.
The lack of proper units awareness here is displeasing.

I demand RMS voltage, amperage, and power factor.

Just to be extra precise; I’m not trying to imply that there’s anything wrong with customs around how a good friend or polite host serves other people. I’m just railing against the “you’re only an alcoholic if you <behavior unrelated to amount consumed>“ tropes.

I’ve never been to Japan, but I’d heard that “you’re only an alcoholic if you pour your own drinks” is a trope there. The question mark in my original post was to underscore my uncertainty.
We know it works only because there are scientific studies confirming it. If we stop doing the studies just because the results are "obvious" by now, we won't know if/when something changes and our assumptions don't hold anymore. Not every new study has to be a surprise. Ones that confirm the status quo are equally valuable.
Have you seen the software the Apple Genius Bar uses to troubleshoot problems? It’s all scripted out with lots of automation.
Would they be in breach of contract if they did so, or would some other legal recourse exist?

The licence explicitly says: "The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns."

A non-copyleft licence would not be similar in spirit.

I could certainly imagine some proprietary code loving coalition seeking to control the FSF after RMS's eventual demise, so that they could create a new, non-copyleft licence.

GPL 3 is aware of such concern: it says, "If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Program", apparently trying to provide an alternative path to allow Linus Torvalds to accept only the versions he wants to accept.
archiving what? just curious.
I suspect that's about the best the EU will be able to manage in this situation. It's also foolish to think anything the US does, even if it were to have real teeth, would not be subject to additional requirements should the EU change their mind in the future. This is not really a situation in which the US could make the EU happy without ceding far too much sovereignty than the US is prepared to do. And of course the EU appears to be strangely silent on China in all of this, even as they adopt more Chinese backbone infrastructure which requires the use of Chinese cloud services. And I'm not hearing anything about Japan, either -- maybe they don't care about gaming servers? Who knows what they decide is important.

I often see this type of pattern: We don't like some side effect of X, but we do like that X is distributed around the world so let's make the whole world comply. And the problem is that this never works. You will never make the world comply. You can push around a few small countries and kinda get the illusion that the world is complying because there are a large number of small countries to push around. So you can say "we've gotten 50 countries onboard". But that's like counting Micronesia. You haven't gotten China onboard. You haven't gotten the U.S. onboard. Or India, or Russia, or really any of the big players.

So you have some tough choices about globalization with least common denominator versus national fragmentation but high standards. But people aren't willing to make these tough trade offs because they love both globalization and the high standards and they think if they just keep writing op-eds and sending written notices around to various embassies and hosting international conferences that they will be able to get the big players to change. So what follows is a policy of delusion, delay, and denial. Just like various promises that free trade would take environmental practices into effect, it is all delusion, delay, and denial until people accept that their choice is global de-coupling or giving up the high standards.
You're still talking about JIT. Their reorder points are just not reliable, because it is JIT turtles all the way down. Their supplier's suppliers are practicing JIT too. Because the entire system is built on JIT, you can't exactly forecast except by risking frontloading of goods.

But you practice JIT and there's no storage calculated anywhere.

Face it, everyone cost cut with JIT and exposed themselves to risk by never having a rainy day fund.
Germany I can see, but I thought Japan also refused to own many of their past national transgressions.

I can stretch your analysis even further, don't some in Japan turn to heavy drinking as a way to cope with societal distancing, alienation and isolation? I read about it, at least.
I totally agree with you !!!
I think using visual studio code gives you everything out of the box like all these extensions just makes things very easier for you.

But learning tools such as vim and learning how to configure those really helps you get out of the comfort zone

I was a regular vscode user but after using vim my workflow really improved

I have nothing against vscode users but sometimes getting out of comfort zone really helps you

This seems like good news for a country like Bahrain. It’s unfortunate that the Chinese vaccine isn’t as effective as the competition (such that the current ~50% deployment isn’t enough), but getting to 75% is a realistic goal still.

"Guaranteed" if you can get the first interview lined up, AND pay an amount that isn't specified _anywhere_ on the linked writeup or on the "Hack the Interview" product site.

It does mention that FINANCING is available, so I assume the answer to "how much does it cost" is "waaaaaaay too much".

That's also a good point
When I'm drinking, the probability that I work on a side project is also much lower than when I'm sober. However when I do work on one, as long as I don't pass my Ballmer Peak, I work very hard on it. Sometimes I even do good work. Sometimes it's even good the next day.

I have been working on lowering my alcohol consumption, though. It's been working, slowly, over time.
Exactly. Slowing down between 2-10 times.

> It's not a perfect solution, or even a good one. We can and should develop a more compassionate alternative.

I'm guessing you don't see providing cheap shelter in empty areas that have no other good use (like a highway underpass) as a more compassionate alternative then?

Jail costs 80k a year per prisoner in California on average. That's a hell of a lot of money, and it clearly doesn't work to keep people from being homeless.

I think a more compassionate alternative really just is a cheaper shelter for homeless than what Jail costs us, and programs that actually show some level of success at reentrance into society.

I'd be willing to change my tune if good data showed that Jails were both cost effective, and actually acted as a deterrent for homelessness, and was a good pathway to reentrance, but everything I looked at seems to indicate it's terrible at all of these, and ends up just being a very expensive shelter.
I'm a little bit confused why there are so many comparisons between M1 and older apple hardware. It seems like a weekly occurrence on HN. I think it's great that the M1 performs well. However, posts like these, and in general the comments I read, make me feel a bit uncomfortable. So, take this with a grain of salt, but I feel like there is a strong desire to confirm the idea that the M1 is a beast. This has been reinforced by quite a lot of misleading advertisement.

So, personally, I like to work on a desktop computer. I don't care all that much about the power efficiency as I do about performance. So, I was curious, and ran the same test on a regular good top-end desktop hardware, and the same test took 2 minutes and 53 seconds. In other words 4.3x faster, or "78% faster" if using the same metric. Compared to the M1 time it would be 3.1x and 68% respectively.

Just to be clear. This isn't a comment that "with my beefy computer I can outperform the M1". My desktop environment is not something I can commute with. My point is nothing more than, maybe to add some interesting data-points that I find are hard to come by. I seem to always see the M1 be compared to older apple hardware. Maybe that's all you wish to know. If MacOS is a must-have, then I suppose it doesn't really matter what else exists. And this is fine, I have no objection to it.
