Sometimes, "others" is yourself in a few months trying to look at the code :)

If my project is something beyond a small script that I plan on working on on or off for a while, I do find that annotations definitely help. Also, it fuels IDE completions between functions if you annotate your input.
If you don't use the vCenter plugins in which the vulnerabilities exist (vSAN Health Check, vROPS Manager), it's incredibly easy to mitigate this vulnerability by manually marking these plugins as incompatible: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/83829
I’m fairly certain Costco has lower prices and profit margins than Target. So it’s not “on the other end on all of those” with Target being intermediate.
Hm maybe. But I only tried sites that I already had open in safari with zero problems. Someone else suggested maybe a plugin was screwy; that seems plausible to me.
As it is presented it does not seem controversial. If someone is not misrepresenting themselves, and they are following the rules of the site/clinic then there's no concern here.
I enjoyed the book very much, for how it shed light on the real meaning and use of money.

In what sense has it helped you read people?
I mean, every survey we do on these things indicates that like 80% of any given minority group doesn’t tie the progressive line on whatever issue (e.g., “abolishing the police”). I’m not sure what more needs to be done to “speak out”. It’s not like each race has a president that can speak on their behalf (although I probably shouldn’t give the woke folks any ideas).
> gain of function research was banned under Obama until the ban was lifted in 2017 under Trump

There's no need to politicize the discussion.

1) There's no evidence any recent president or cabinet member had a clue, or if they did have a clue it was off their radar anyway.

2) All this gain of function research was administered either in academic circles or at lower governmental circles where politicians are not involved. See for yourself. Fauci's own email from January 2020 referenced research already published in 2015. (That's during Obama's gain of function research ban, for those of you keeping score at home). Start at 5:00 into the referenced video.

EDIT: The paper was published after the ban was initiated. The research began before the ban, but apparently continued.

The whole video is well worth watching and walks trough Fauci's immediate responses as soon as it became apparent this is the real deal, and still 6 FULL WEEKS before the WHO declared a pandemic. A whole lot of CYA going on here. Fauci knew enough to reference this paper in the wee hours of the morning after a very busy day and before another hectic day he was headed for. Think he was familiar with the topic?

I’ve been using Zig for a new JavaScript build tool and I really like it. It’s great for writing performance-critical code.

It took me about two weeks to feel comfortable & productive in it.
Don’t worry Colonial is asking the government to go after these teenagers and that will finally fix the root of the issue.
Costco also has a pretty robust internal promotion system from what I've heard, so older employees might also be occupying management spots.

Though it might also be that nearly every piece of stock at a Costco will be significantly heavier than that at Walmart, making it difficult for older people who might have more in the way of back problems etc to work there.
I do not have an unbalanced life outside of work, not because of obsession (I only work 40 hours a week, roughly), but because I mainly spend my personal time recovering from the mental fatigue of work. I just don't have a desire to do much of anything until I've had a few days off and my creativity can be directed towards my own interests.
Good of you to offer concrete examples. I don't mean these as ad hominems since I don't know you, more as counter examples:

> I've shared the results of my IQ tests (145-160+)

I wonder if the part of the population with <100 IQs are similarly open with their results.

> I speed when conditions let that be safe.

Admitting to breaking the law is an excuse for higher insurance premiums and for the police to hassle you.

> I suffer depression

This is one of the few relatively "safe" mental health conditions to announce. Who's lining up to hire someone who's openly struggling with addiction or has psychopathy?

> I'm very honest and want that in my closest relationships

Let's say your partner gets served ads about how your single, attractive co-worker has been googling you late at night, how your location histories have significant overlap, and by clicking the ad they can find out more. Not everyone will get suspicious, but some people definitely will click.

It would be great if we could all be open like you say you are, but society isn't even close to ready for that. Any rapid transition (like wide-scale encryption breaks) would be traumatic on so many levels.
In fact, several of them did have direct experience with the Itanium. One of the comments one had about it was the hardware team had a bad habit of creating problems and hoping that the compiler would fix it.

One of the things about Itanium that I do know is that it's basically VLIW. And VLIW is a technology that sounds really good on paper, but it turns out that you just can't get that good results for realistic workloads--they've basically been abandoned everywhere they've been tried except for DSPs, where they live on apparently because DSPs have so few kernels they care about.

And speaking as a compiler writer, no compiler will ever do a good a job as the hardware can at maximizing instruction-level parallelism. The compiler is forced to make a static choice while hardware can choose based on dynamic effects that the compiler will never be able to predict.
I actually tend to browse HackeNews through Feedly. And I am normally surprised at the number of links I wanted to come check out and are flagged or dead.

That said, I normally chalk it up to the sites topic's and interest being a little more diverged from my own, Which is perfectly fine as I typically enjoy the moderated approach over the constant outrage and flame fests i see elsewhere.
I gave up after the first section after mashing some bits of the 'UI' to try to read the next bit.. simply posting a link could provide a far better reading experience imo.
I agree with what you're saying, and made the same decision myself. I was advised by someone who'd looked into it that I could have qualified as a healthcare worker and gotten into phase 1B or 1C, because my startup Cyph has customers in the healthcare industry. However, I work remotely and don't have all that much human contact even outside of a pandemic, so it didn't make sense to me to skip the line and take a more deserving person's spot on a technicality. (I am fully vaccinated now, though.)

That being said, based on the limited information in this thread, it seems to me that Paul unfortunately started a whole lot of drama over nothing.

My choice was a personal decision that made sense for me, not an absolute moral value that I feel entitled to impose on the world. I don't know these people's situations, or why they felt they needed the shot more urgently than I did, but even if our situations were identical it's not obvious that my decision was more correct. Arguably, they were more correct based on the position from the NY Times article someone else linked ("If you're offered a vaccine, take it"). At worst there's an argument that they were inconsiderate, but it's silly to raise a stink about such a morally grey issue.

If anyone is truly upset about this, why not instead write/call whichever level of government is responsible for having structured the system such that these things happen and are neither illegal nor discouraged?
This is a good idea. Is it possible to require all critical infrastructure to be disconnected from the WAN?
Normal banking is heavily regulated to a degree that does not apply here, that's why it's different. (Perhaps not heavily enough)
As an example the other day I was writing low level protocol code in F# (but could do the same in C#), allocating a decent byte array on the stack (stackalloc), putting value types in it, bit-shifting and putting those numbers in place in the same byte array without a single heap allocation nor a single unsafe block of code or needing other techniques like byte array pooling. In previous days the only choice often was jumping into C/C++ and writing extern functions that usually had an associated penalty especially in hot loops where we want to employ this style of coding. Made me realize how far the .NET Core ecosystem has come in the last few years. When having to go back to Java I do see the performance penalties that I didn't see many years ago.

And yes this code is all going to be hosted in containerized Linux infrastructure. Our tests showed much better single and multi-threaded performance for our cases than many other popular frameworks across many languages we evaluated. YMMV but IMO the ecosystem has made up a lot of ground in a small space of time.
> So why don't people in those groups speak out against it?

One example: https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2020/08/11/901398248...

3% of US Latino adults use the term "Latinx". 20% do not use it, and 76% have never heard of it. Anecdotally, in Latin American countries, most people either mock it or have never heard of it.

But this doesn't stop anglophone woke activists from trying to impose this word on Latinos.

It costs $1 to increase the market cap of a fiat pegged stable coin by $1, while changing the market cap of Bitcoin is a lot cheaper because there's no safe way for a market maker to provide substantial liquidity for it. At any time this dynamic can start working in the other direction, and the market cap of Bitcoin can fall below the net value converted to it.
Spyware and adware, yes. Malware, no. They weren't trying to cause damage.

I’m confused, genuinely it was my understanding that these “less moral” types of companies actually attracted a large amount of highly skilled engineers, because of the massive technological challenges they face...is this not the case? Or is this an example of an outlier?
As a POC, I appreciate these woke people, even though some of their actions may be heavy handed. I wish there were more of them when I was growing up and being bullied by real bigots.

In the GFC, the financial system locked up because banks stopped lending to each other, which is otherwise a primary activity in a working financial system.

They stopped because the collapse of Bear Sterns and Lehman Brothers made them realize that anyone could be next and they all had massive counterparty risk with each other. Why lend to someone who could be bankrupt literally the next day?

They all had taken on massive leverage, collateralized with mortgage-backed securities the ratings agencies said were high quality. But those MBO's weren't and began defaulting en-masse, correlated in ways both the ratings agencies and the banks either didn't understand or willfully ignored.

If central banks and governments hadn't stepped in to provide emergency liquidity support, interbank loans would have defaulted en-masse and the entire system gone bankrupt and collapsed. That's what it looks like when a financial system breaks - it literally stops working, activity ceases, like a core dump or blue screen of death.

Natural volatility happens all the time even when the financial system is not broken or breaking. It's just the price discovery process in action, where different buyers and sellers with different views on the future value of the things are trying to find the best deal. Price shocks can be part of it, abrupt movements in price due to some event, but as long as the underlying mechanics of the system continue working smoothly, it's not an example of the system breaking.

Not the best, but right click on one of the titles, inspect element, it should put you on a #video-title, you then just want to uncheck the -webkit-line-clamp and set a very high max-height like 999999px

Or just add the following to any CSS injecting extension:

#video-title {
-webkit-line-clamp: 999 !important;
max-height: 999999px !important;
}
I’ve noticed this attitude of “management is useless” and it tends to be people who don’t have a great view of the entire company that say this.

Having worked at some large companies, organization is a massive challenge. It’s not hard to get 10,000 smart people working hard. Getting them all working towards the same goal is not easy at all.
- obviously (to almost everyone) these are unfalsifiable standards that self-proclaimed far left extremists have created to invalidate everyone's thoughts but their own

The current state of social discourse is essentially landmines in the form of Kafkatraps[1]. Once there's any form of discussion on an unfalsifiable topic, it provides the leftist with a false sense of justification, simply because it was discussed...even if the leftist's reasoning made no sense and they lost the debate. Then they use the false justification to trick low-intelligence people into believing it's actually justified.

This has led us into a race towards the bottom within society, catering to the loudest complainer in the room. Crabs in a bucket.

Seems like the only real way to counter these unfalsifiable arguments is to call the person a fucking clown and tell them what a kafkatrap is.

youre a cunt
Its weird to see people completely dismiss an entire field just because they disagree with it. If someone said the exact same thing about another social science, like sociology or gender studies, it would see a pretty big pushback in the same circles that dismiss economics. And I frankly I don't see how you could argue that modern economics are more prone to arbitrary conclusions and cherry picking than idk say psychology or race studies.

Btw I'm curious, do you have an example of economists being surprised by a recession? Because they usually don't claim to be able to predict one in the first place. There's a huge difference between pop econ columnists who write clickbait predictions and the actual academic consensus in the field.

> You shouldn't believe everything authority figures tell you. UFOs are aliens should be pegging your bullshit detector.

I'm sorry but I really do not know how many times I need to repeat this, but as I have already said twice to you now: I do not think they are aliens. It does trigger my "bullshit detector." I never once claimed I believed in in extraterrestrials visiting earth, I never claimed that the videos congress is talking about are aliens. I feel like you're trying to group me in with morons like Alex Jones or Art Bell or something, and that's extremely dishonest, and since this is the second time you've done this in this thread, I have to think you're doing it on purpose.

Again, and I really want to make this clear, unambiguous, and easy to parse: I DO NOT THINK THE UFOS ARE ALIENS. It's probably a compression artifact or a drone or something. Please, please, please stop trying to put words into my mouth.

> Yes. Does CNN brag about following the science? Yes. Is CNN following the science here? Nope.

I'm hardly a fan of CNN but after about two decades of watching them on/off, I cannot recall a single instance of them "bragging" about "following the science". Admittedly I haven't watched it every day so it's possible I missed something.

The "how much value it loses per century" time scale is unimportant for most applications.

You need a currency to be "not 1923 Germany", because it becomes impossible to plan for anything past your next meal.

But the "loses 100% of the value per century" doesn't really seem to be a hindrance to our real-world financial needs. Lenders are capable of understanding this risk and extending 30+ year mortgages and even those weird century-plus infrastructure bond products.

The whole long-term stability thing seems to be a very narrow scare tactic: a bugabear for those who are wealthy enough to hold a lot of cash, but too naive/risk-averse/fearful to invest it in any meaningful way o beat inflation.
There are exceptions, I’m sure otherwise I would have not met him (!!). His wife is US citizen. He is not. What more can I say?

You can call BS all you want. Your response sort of violates the HN protocol of assuming the best of people.

Edit: Perhaps because his wife is US Citizen, this would apply but not sure: "As further provided in each proclamation, citizens and lawful permanent residents of the United States, certain family members, and other individuals who meet specified exceptions, who have been in one of the countries listed above in the past 14 days will be allowed to enter the United States". I really don't know.
the spectrum seems accurate for the employee pay I think.
He is not a US citizen.
Costco also sells in much larger sizes, so while the price may be lower on a per unit basis, you often pay more overall. It’s a trade not everyone wants, e.g. lack of space to store bulk goods in a small apartment. Costco, Target, Amazon, et al compete on some sort of n-dimensional plane with price, size, shopping experience, brand, etc all play a part. It’s not a line.
