>discussion of anything related to trans biology, which doesn't belong here

There are plenty of purely biological topics posted that stimulate curiosity or the intellect. It's the users that decide, collectively, what counts as on topic and what doesn't. If an article about trans biology was posted that didn't produce tons of snide sarcasm and identity politics in the comments (admittedly unlikely), I wouldn't flag it.
Why pseudoscience is here to stay
> The standup should create conversation between team members.

A team of even adequate--not great, just adequate--people working together will have these conversations independently.

> 'Oh you said you are doing X while doing your tasj? That won't work for my Y, good thing you mentioned it, let's have a quick talk after standup'

There are two different cases where this would apply: when someone attempts to do something and finds some blocking issue, and when someone attempts to do a task out-of-order from a dependency.

The first case rarely occurs in a way that a daily standup will efficiently address. Most tasks take longer than a day to do--the standup is unlikely a time when this sort of issue is most efficiently resolved. Other than junior engineers or maybe quick bug fixes I rarely encounter an engineer who measures his work by the time between standups.

The second case is best resolved by having a proper, complete design process--requirements analysis, technical design (changes in architecture, code, dependencies, etc.), and a team-wide review--and a work tracking tool that permits tasks to be ordered (e.g. JIRA's "blocked by" label). Work doesn't always fit into that neat of a design and execution process, obviously, and it's okay to have an occasional, regular meeting (e.g. once a week or every other week, maybe slightly more often depending on the scope of work the team typically has) to address those specific issues as-needed. But those meetings shouldn't be permanently scheduled on the calendar--just while a given project is in progress.
I don't know, House is pretty good at his job...

On a serious note, a doctor can be professional and care about outcomes without caring about the patient. Providing care and emotionally caring are separate things, and are generally best kept separate (doctors are not supposed to practice on family). In fact, I recently met a doctor who is not very personable but has excellent patient outcomes and is highly regarded in his field.
Is this a conspiracy theory dogwhistle, or supposition of uncoordinated acts of stochastic assassination?
No so veiled, and fully warranted, IMHO.
This ex post facto explanation is referred to as rationalization and is ironically irrational. If you’ve already made a decision you’ve forfeited the option to do so rationally.

I do agree that most of what gets labeled rational is in fact ex post facto rationalization. I do it myself all the time, haha.
That’s not what my (Apple) leadership told us. Individual and team productivity rose this year, to the extent that they started giving us a day off once per month or so. They were concerned that people were over-working, that the situation everyone was in was too stressful, and we needed “reconnect days” periodically.
I worked with it 10 years.

The ORM is pretty trivially understandable and not magic at all.

The configuration is pretty straight forward and we'll documented.

The url routing is pretty good although it could be improved. It's a lot better than flask when you go beyond an MVP at least.
You can just turn off the GC with `Base.GC.enable(false)`
There are already many aquaculture pens in the ocean near Port Lincoln, South Australia, often for tuna. You see them from the air when flying over. Here's a photo of what they look like:

> My 2020 prediction that there will be no more wild caught fish in markets by 2030 seems ever closer...

Are you talking worldwide freshwater and saltwater fish?
It’s beautiful, thank you
I grant you that this is well researched. However, readers should bear in mind that this resource is first and foremost a persuasive effort in favor of the lab leak hypothesis.
The article touches only during it's historic review on one aspect which is imho. key: Money. Intel won the volume game giving it money to out-invest all others. The shift to mobile has opened now an opportunity as it's volume drove investments over the past decade and the manufacturing edge has now shifted towards ARM.
Don't assume they are able to get out of their own inertia to defend themselves on this.

"Oh the ship disappeared? What are you going to do?"

I can't help but be cynical in this situation. If their Coast Guard is as efficient as their ATC that's what you can expect.
Maybe Scottish history (give or take a few dragons)? ;)
I was specifically referring to the process of instruction decode, but I may be using the incorrect terminology.

My understanding (as explained to me by someone who did work on some CPU-like ASICs) was that they were able to produce the early versions of ICs with some form of "PROM" (possibly not the correct term) which could then be one-time programmed so that they didn't have to pay for a new set of masks if they wanted to change any of their instruction decode (or whatever they had wired into the "PROM") logic.

All they had to do was burn a new version into a blank chip and test/use it from there.

The company in question was producing low-volume, high cost products for a narrow niche and so I don't know if they had to throw away some die space to have this "PROM-like" feature and if that is still how things are done today.
Curious how this performs on a more complex codebase (eg linking llvm or chromium)
That isn't how I see it. I don't want you to work for me if you don't want to work for me.

If you do not want to work for me, that is fine. I don't mind.

But if you come to interview I want to see that you really want to work for me.

You, yourself, probably would want to see the company wants to hire you rather than being completely lukewarm about it.

People want to see they are taken seriously and they are wanted.

Would you come to a company that organized your interview in some dinky place in the basement with unkempt junior dev who got late to the meeting and at the prescribed time tells you he doesn't have more time for you and you are maybe going to hear from them?

Why do you think companies like Google pamper their candidates and later developers at every possible occasion?
> Does the origin of SARS-CoV-2 really matter at this point?

Matter for what?

The origin was extremely important as long as all the good people agreed that said origin had nothing to do with the Wuhan lab.

It's curious that the origin is not important now that said good people are saying that the Wuhan lab might be the origin.

It's almost like the importance of the origin depends on what the origin is.
An ssd becoming read only, and having random read errors happens when it is overheating aswell.

I’ve had an nvme reaching temps 70+ celsius, because the geniuses who designed the mobo put the socket right where cpu hot air flows..

I aged a couple of years when the machine bsoded and then told me windows files are missing. I thought everything is gone, but fortunately when the ssd colled down everything went back to normal.

Had to put an extra fan in the case, and disable couple of cpu cores though to make the system stable.
looks like an opportunity to make money and create jobs
It’s really annoying to have an annoyed rude interviewer insist your answer is wrong for 10 minutes until the second interviewer awkwardly explains to the first that you were right, and then act defensive the entire rest of the interview. Some candidates have just gotten tired of the disrespectful interview process. If you intend to test how well we put up with disrespect in the interview, just say so ahead of time so we can cancel and apply elsewhere
This depends on what you mean by "doesn't work".

Can this happen? Sure. It is possible that remote work limits career growth. But employees should still be able to choose that.
If they have such a high population and low production that they have to steal other peoples food sources, they're an existential threat to everyone else. What they will eat has been determined, and it's not likely to make the transition to local. So other people's starvation and the mass destruction of habitat will continue to be their externalities.
I've been observing a lot of repeated submissions lately (repetitions of things which were already on the front page several days earlier). When I point them out in the comments, nothing happens to the submission. It's a bit boring. The FAQ discourages reposts. Has something changed in this regard?
As always its about control. Its a fight against general computing.

The goal is deprecation of "remote code" execution, where "remote" means remote to Vendor, but local to user, aka anything not shipped and signed by the extension store.
That will be the death of windows. ChromeOS is not unpopular with users and at that point the user would have more capabilities on their computer.
Design plays and engineering play a massive role in the safety of streets. Q: People make mistakes regardless of training. How do you dolve those problems? A: You work to understand them and then eliminate them with intentional action.
If COVID-19 did come from a (accidental) leak from gain of function research, presumably the pandemic itself counts as a demo. Which leads to the posted article's point---it may be better to not do any gain of function research on viruses that are already well-understood, regardless of how well the research is or isn't communicated.
It was cheaper and faster for me to drive 25 miles into Manhattan than take the train in from a walkable station. Then getting back out doesn't have to be at the mercy of the train schedule which is often every two hours for the line in question.
How so? I thought the default XP theme looked dated in 2005. Search is a complete joke in XP. Win 10 search is maybe a bit worse than 7 but light years better than XP. No hardware accelerated UI, no Window snapping, no support for 64 bit apps, more than 4GB RAM, taskbar quickly gets filled because of no app grouping, no windows peek. No hiDPI support. Only thing XP does better is no pop up ads telling me to use Edge. Everything else is worse.
James Dean died in an accident caused by just that: "Intersections are dangerous because they are where cars, often moving very fast and in different directions, must cross paths."

Yes, actually it is in a lot of ways.

Nobody in Argentina would buy Chinese products again, probably.

I predict that if they search a little, would find exactly the same pattern in Ethiopian waters.
Becoming a Software Engineer
The article seems to skim over the complexities of docs workflows and the role of docs. In fact, docs are nowhere to be found throughout the article. What are those “docs” that the OP is talking about?

Perhaps it’d be fair to rename that article “The Case for Continuous READMEs”.
Thanks for the link, it seems like an interesting approach!
Dublin, which is crap for cycling infrastructure and weather in the winter, has about a 25% higher cycle count for summer months, according to the 2019 data (the last year unaffected by covid).
But that’s not what happened here. The bare, obviously true, fact itself was determined to be hate speech.
Not as such, but there are a lot of YouTube videos where people test a series of games on a particular phone. There are some general rules though. Snapdragon always outperforms other platforms of a particular generation due to driver issues. More popular games like Mario and Zelda will run better because they get more developer attention. There are multiple forks with different goals, eg, Dolphin MMJR has much higher performance than official Dolphin at the cost of stability and accuracy.

Snapdragon 845 is the entry level where you can play maybe 50 percent of games at full speed, and a few at full speed and higher than native resolution. If you want to run at double or triple native gamecube resolution I'd recommend at least an 865.

Also keep in mind some phones like Pixels disable video out. Get an HDMI+PD adapter to keep your phone charged while outputting to a TV. If your phone's USB port is limited to USB 2.0 speeds you'll have to get a DisplayLink adapter.
This paper suggests that such a setup can generate a non-trivial amount of electron-positron pairs: "Matching experimental parameters to current-generation facilities, Monte Carlo simulations suggest that this scheme is capable of producing of the order of 10^5 Breit–Wheeler pairs in a single shot."

Mind games, great sign that the company will be fun to work for
I agree with you that individual change shouldn't be the only or the end goal -- anyone selling this idea is wrong or potentially malicious (e.g. corporations selling the idea of plastic recycling), and if that is your central issue, then I think we're mostly on the same page. We need to have changes at the governmental level and hold corporations responsible. Things like taxing negative externalities and legislating forms of extended producer responsibility seem like musts to me.

What doesn't sit with me is negativity toward the idea of individual action. Individual change is often simply a side effect of believing in something dearly. It's quite alien to me that one could feel strongly enough about an issue to fight for it at a political level, and at the same time not at least attempt to live and act according to those beliefs. The two go hand in hand in my world view, and I think both are needed. And those who originate and begin the spread of radical ideas, long before they make it to the political layer, almost surely were already acting according to those ideas.

So I do see -- and I think agree with -- your broader point, but unfortunately, I'm not sure how to actually gain this power within the system that you mention. What does that look like? What are the steps?
Political concerns are immaterial to the issue of global pandemic mitigation, preparedness, and response planning/coordination.
Roundabouts have better throughput in most cases, but have higher variance for time to complete transit, as one strong stream of cars from a single direction can choke off the alternative directions.
That's my read on it. It's kinda obvious when you frame it that way. Use a substrate which limits the ion size and apply an electric field.
Wouldn’t that necessitate them supporting every one of those OS’s, including security updates as well? Compatibility mode is one thing, but a virtualized instance would be something else entirely, I would think.
Piñeyro's own documentary, "Fuerza Aérea S.A." ("Air Force Inc") showed otherwise: our military is incompetent, reckless & corrupt. Their handling of commercial airports, until taken from them by the government, was so terrible and reckless you really didn't want to fly in Argentina. Any mistake was covered up because that's how our military is used to behaving.

Also remember we Argentinians suffered a bloody dictatorship in the 70s, complete with illegal detentions, torture and executions, and while of course the military renews itself with new people, some sectors of it still haven't come to terms with their past (some remain who actually sympathize with the dictatorship or were involved in it).

So no, what you're describing is not the full picture.
Pfp puts the icon in the browser bar, to counter such action. So the pop-up can only be opened this way and the pop up is in a different context than the website itself.

Yes the pop-up could be faked, but not the button.

Actually Tavis Ormandy found a lot of security breaches in password managers that loaded GUI elements into the website. Not only that you can fake it, but also they are susceptible to clickjacking.
I experienced this problem just yesterday which I found ironic since I had recently posted about it. I was in Home Depot and couldn't find what I was looking for. So I pulled up the website to see if it says they're in stock to ask an employee. It took me wandering the store for a few minutes to get a good enough signal to load the damn web page.

Home Depot web devs, make sure someone can load the Home Depot web page in side one of your stores filled with steel shelves and other cellular hating materials. I can't imagine trying to use Home Depot's website inside a store is some super edge case that's not worth the effort.
> The reason OO is a powerful organizational too is because it mirrors how many people naturally think about the real world.

I've never found myself thinking that my pan fries an egg. I fry an egg and use the pan and the stove to do it. I've also not found myself thinking that my pan hits an intruder and dents itself. I hit the intruder (well, if I had the courage) and the resulting 'data/object' now has 'dent' as a property.

The idea that my coffee machine is making coffee, or that my combo-oven is making my food is perhaps a bit more palatable, but even then it's now how I think about things. I am the one making coffee, or heating up food, and the actions needed are not inherently part of the object.

IMO, the problem is that people do NOT think about the world in terms of objects, at least not in a way that conforms to what is generally considered OOP. Rather, when we think of 'objects' we generally think of data structures that we then operate on. The idea that there are objects that contain both properties/state and behavior is pretty weird irl.
Very nice!

One feature of postman/hoppscotch[0] is that it makes it easy to do oauth2 calls PRIOR to hitting the actual desired endpoint. If you're itching to add new features may I suggest that might be a good one :) ?

Not to mention that the author rails against it being "politicized," only to propose a deeply political reason why it happened. Like, seriously, dude?
These thing are so exciting, but as a regular web dev I always wonder what are some real use cases?

Most stuff can be done without any of the fancy containerization and such solutions.
All the telemetry disabling scripts will probably stop working correctly.
US navy does not "own" Argentine waters.

Maybe US could help Argentina enforce its fishing rights, in return for a lease of port space. The sort of win-win arrangement that builds mutual good will.
I tend to think of them as ant trails, but a circulatory system works too.
The other posts had bad titles, but the repost frequency has definitely jumped lately.
That makes sense. I think it’s also due to contrast, specifically due to Kansas neighboring Colorado with its very not flat mountains.
I'd think the culture of games and MMORPG had more influence.

I've seen multiple spins on the scenario you've described, in which some scenarios the exhaustive approach
is justified (the half-D world is on the verge of collapse, or about to fall to a corrupting force which will decay the resources, etc.);

is reasoned (if the protag leave the sustainable portion, their opponent or enemy will plunder the rest, basically 0-sum game);

is sustained (instead of harvesting everything, they transfer the resource to their own half-D, or if it's non-competitive, they do leave sustainable parts).

Then other genres of the wuxia and xianxia type where the protag is the leader of a faction, and have the faction resources (garden, mines, etc.).

I think you are thinking too deep into this. Reading a popular novel doesn't mean the readers agree with every action or idea the protag or the author take/presents, popular novel are more like fast food, maybe this fry is a bit too salty, maybe that fry is not salty enough, maybe the cola is lacking ice, etc.

Why the hell are you comparing having back to back meetings around an interview with "organizing your interview in some dinky place in the basement with unkempt junior dev who got late to the meeting"

If you asked for an hour of my time, you'll get an hour of my time. If you want an extra 15 minutes to chit chat after, that's fine, just ask for it ahead of time so I can plan for it.

Whatever expectations you hold a candidate to should be reciprocal. So if you're going to hold candidates responsible for blocking off extra time before and after their interview to sit and chat, then you should be doing the same. Which means you should decline any meetings that are scheduled to start within 15 minutes of your interview ending. If you do that, then great, that's wonderful for the candidates who have more time to spend. You should also then tell the candidate up front to allow for 15 minutes on either end of the interview.

This whole idea that a candidate must have a buffer around their interview with you or they don't want to work for you is nonsense. It makes no more sense than saying if I have a 10am, 10:30am, and 11am meeting then that means I don't want to meet with the person at 10:30am. People have other things going on in their life. Employers who realize this, and respect candidates during the interview process, are going to have an easier time hiring good candidates that will also treat them well in return.
It's still in the works and unfortunately I've written it in German. If you're still interested I'll share a link as soon as it's released. Should be sometime this summer.
Can someone actually explain what the actual flaw in the proposed anonymisation of the data is?

This sounds a lot like people are in complete dismissal of the potential benefits of a countries worth of aggregated health data to research.
I expected some kind of argument regarding malware and the potential for accessing your entire password vault.
Sure - except that in Go there are (my impression after taking a look at various Rust resources) far fewer things you have to find out this way than in Rust. Which, of course, some view as a limitation, others view as a plus for Go.
> The publication hyper-competitiveness is due to publication spam, which boosts citation and publication count.

The publication hyper-competitiveness is a direct result of grant hyper-competitiveness. Funding rates at top US agencies are around 10-20%. Grants are how researchers fund their research, pay their students, pay themselves, and earn tenure, so there's a lot riding on getting them.

I see a lot of talk about the problems with publications on HN and possible fixes to the publication process (like requiring code for example, or as you suggest changing the important metrics), but publications really are just a proxy (and prerequisite) for the grant application process. You can change around the publication process all you want, but nothing will improve unless you address the issue of grants, because that's where the money is.
Building an IPv6 only Kubernetes cluster (WIP)
Just a nitpick - There absolutely was a 64-bit version of XP, which I used at the time, supporting > 4GB of RAM and 64-bit apps, and could give multiple 32-bit apps 3GB each etc.
