> According to the state-run biotech corporation, BioCubaFarma, Abdala has proven about 92.28% effective against COVID-19 in clinical trials, which would put it the same league as the most effective vaccines BioNTech-Pfizer and Moderna. Huge applause erupted in the auditorium of the CIGB this week when the impressive results were announced.

There's not a lot of information about exactly what this vaccine is or how it works. I'd be cautious about drawing conclusions based on press statements.
I don’t understand what your point is.
No. I harvest tomatoes for 4 years now, about 30-50 plants per year. The taste of a half-green-left-on-shelf-because-i-dont-wanna-throw-it-out fruit is better than anything you can get in a shop. You can tell just by the smell, no need to taste it. Sun and soil brings more to the table than led lamps and chemical fertilizers.
Is it better than (the AFAIK newer) https://github.com/asvetliakov/vscode-neovim ?
Oh, an observation

I've tried putting these ideas into practice in a couple of previous jobs doing web development. Some applications I've written & worked on use React along with Redux for state management. For a different application that didn't use React, I used a pub-sub model to communicate state changes.

Both of these work really well for certain kinds of data, and both of them also fell apart for me when things got complicated. I haven't thought hard enough about the problems I ran into to be able to categorize them in any concrete or helpful way. But, I do think that the breakdown is related to having to communicate state between components and across the system. Sometimes state changes have a necessary dependency on ordering things which can get tricky if one side is trying hard to avoid state. Sometimes wiring up state changes to the components that need it just adds communication complexity.

The other thing that seems to happen when you put state on the outside is that your data schema evolves toward your code structure. In some ways, you end up duplicating the hierarchy. This has caused me trouble when refactoring. Once you realize some sizeable portion of code needs to be rewritten, but you can't change the data schema to match the new code because the data is production live, all the cleanness of the design starts to break down.
I just noticed that my Threadripper 1950x isn't "supported". Completely ludicrous. I'd love to see the technical justification for that.
It reads a lot like what I've read about the first year after WW2 ended.
I would actually argue no. Stuff you grow at home is never looking as good as from the store because worms, rain and so on. Strawberries or cherries that have been picked by birds, wasps or slugs are usually fully ripe. Although I agree, whole fruit make it harder to hide bad ones in there
there was a paper that implemented an r7rs compatible module system for termite scheme that used hashes for identification for netework transfers of code but left the source files still normal - I think focusing on the textual representation too much misses the point a bit here.
New macOS is similar, where it seems like they are dumping support for any Mac that has an nVidia GPU.
I'm not even just talking about CRISPR. mRNA-LNP is like a flash drive that bypasses anti-virus software. The opportunities are...dramatic.
There's a protocol on Ethereum called Aave providing lending/borrowing to banks/institutional investors in separate permissioned pools that comply with AML and kyc regulations.
If you're getting muscle spams, are you really "supplementing"?
The incredible thing is that there is no way for me to not make it seem like a scam. I try. It’s not a scam. Just eat a cow.
1-year vegan here, no new health issues to report. I supplement vitamins D and B12 and omega-3 fats.
While some people's opinions aren't influenced by such measures, a lot of people are just waiting to have their opinion managed. They'll do literally anything they're told to do if managed correctly. This presents a danger if they're managed by bad actors. It's important for those opinions to be managed for good.
This is what kills me most. Not the TPM part, as I can (and have) bought an external TPM module for my motherboard for like $10.

But this would basically require of me to build a brand new PC, while this one still does a fine job for gaming, development and audio editing.
I'm wondering if this new config made squid exceed any limits, causing it to hard stop. I'd expect the log trimmer to have/cause a bug in squid itself.
I think you're a tad too optimistic congress won't find ways to tax Roth distributions. It's easy to imagine a future with a higher age for qualified distributions and/or distributions over $x or from an account with a balance over $y being classified as non-qualified. $x and $y will of course be chosen to appear to target the "rich", while mostly hitting the middle and upper middle class, just like AMT, the SALT deduction cap, and other "tax reforms".
> You're going to rule out all WD products (even the SATA/USB/NVMe, non-networked variety) because their NAS line had 0days?

No, I'm ruling it out because of how they responded to it.
After having spent many years working with it and interacting with it deeply, I would strongly recommend folks stay far away from Cassandra if you remotely care about your data. It provides way too many footguns to lose or corrupt or outright ruin your data.

Unless you work at Apple or Netflix or Spotify, finding Cassandra experts is going to be nigh on impossible and the community just isn't there unfortunately.
Maybe I'm getting old, but it's mental to me that a regular SDD over SATA3 is now regarded as slow, and you need an NVME SSD to run things quickly.

I have a gaming PC and really can't tell the difference between games loaded between the two.
>Your CPU will have to be like 8 years old when you stop getting security updates for Windows 10 and you can't upgrade to Windows 11.

Yes, and I'm saying that's unreasonable. Look no further than this very thread and you'll find plenty of people using 10-year old computers without issue.
I would consider this a teaching opportunity. Get her a Faraday case for the device. Explain to her that the case isn't to protect the device, but to protect her from the device. Try to make her control the device, rather than the other way around.
Stopping trash talking about Linux was the embrace phase. WSL was the extend phase.
No no no, bitcoin is perfectly configured to incentivise technological leaps in renewable energy that increase availability, without itself consuming the entire benefit it generates. See also ASIC production, where bitcoin is also affecting the market in the best way you could imagine, and all the hardware is integrated in a circular chain of consumption.
For real. The blabber about 'amount of ammo' being the most important aspect seems farfetched to me. If you're in firefights enough that you need thousands and thousands of rounds you're going to die no matter what. I kept waiting for the 'use ammo as currency' bit and it never came.

Some scientists seem to disagree [1] They theory is basically that for the first few millions years of evolution we were eating mostly meat, and switched to more plant-based diet when we ran out of big animals to hunt, which was quite recently.

The thing is, the closest thing to append-only you have with ordinary programming languages APL and it's variants, where you can construct powerful functions with powerful primitives and methods for combining them.

But the thing is that APL quickly becomes a "write only" language - as far as I know, the main use of APL someone sitting at a brockerage who can cobble together any algorithm on twenty minutes and often throws away the result afterwards.

Which is to say, Unison is interesting because it seems to underestimate the importance of a program's code as document, as complete, coherent, human-readable, single-view, intentionally created text. Why hasn't the stream of ascii been replaced as the format of program in the last twenty years? It's a good question but the answer isn't that it's just matter of conservatism. There are several other things involved.
What's the point of detecting that 1 + x + 1 is the same as x + 2 anyway? If I wrote it in one way, I meant it to be that way for a reason. Should it also be able to prove arbitrary code is semantically equivalent? Well, it can't do that for obvious reasons.
The issue is users trust google / amazon / github and their signatures MUCH MORE than they do random joe blow developers signatures.

Let me explain something clearly - most users are NOT checking developers signatures. The clients, their trust is in the google / amazon's of the world. What google and amazon are saying, and what users care about, is that this application went through whatever process google / amazon have to describe / disclose the developer and their details, whatever scans google / amazon do, whatever CDN distribution they use has not messed with things, whatever govt agencies / firewalls are between users and google / amazon have not messed with things etc etc.

Google already has access to users systems - if they want to root android they can (in most cases google play services has root already). Many users are more worried about bad behavior by apps on their system (and there is plenty of history of that behavior).

This also let's amazon / google etc re-target apps themselves. They can link to shim libraries to run on other platforms etc etc. The value there is high. Many developers aren't going to sort that type of stuff out.

This same model applies in open source. When Redhat / Fedora upgrade something, they can recompile their entire RHEL if they want to to target / work with whatever upgrade they've pushed. Again, users on redhat don't care about the developers signatures, they care about redhats.

Of course, on HN the outrage is going to be at Google, but most open source distros work exactly this way as well.

I know Weston A. Price is a bit of a controversial topic, but his work does show the demineralization of the western world quite effectively. I think supplementation alone is simply a patch on the larger issue, which is the degradation of our land and farming practices.
> Here you have real world cooks and the collective experience of them telling recipe writers that you can’t caramelise onions in 5-10 minutes.

This is backwards. It's really the other way around here.

What you have is real-world cooks and chefs, with all their collective experience, giving recipes correctly, but using the word "caramelized," and a bunch of people telling them that that isn't technically what "caramelized" means.

The vast majority of recipes involve cooking onions for 10-20 minutes, not caramelizing them for 45.

The "mistake" in all these thousands of recipes is simply the word, not that none of these people know how to cook, or are deliberately lying to you about how to caramelize am onion.
I don't want to "bet" with my long term investments intended to provide for basic survival. Instead I want to deploy things to a weighted average of equities (small, big, domestic, and world), bonds, and other assets (real estate) and occasionally rebalance (take profits).

And, one doesn't need some magical financial acumen to do this. You can buy a "target retirement" fund which simply holds things in a ratio (based on financial industry consensus) recommended for your retirement age.
This is the standard approach and the one we have detailed runbooks for. We've scaled the cluster fine one at a time after this experience. It also prompted us to get a much better understanding of all the other flags that have been changed beyond the defaults.
Binary logging would be fine if it Just Worked, but my experience is that journald/journalctl does not just work, and when it breaks I don't have logs.

For example, if the system clock is not monotonic, my text logs are still written sequentially in order, and it's easy to figure out what happens. It is the stated view of the journald maintainers that, if your clock is not monotonic, you get to keep both pieces. https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/662 (The specific issue described there sounds complicated, but the fundamental problem behind it, which I have hit multiple times, is "if your system can't maintain a monotonic clock at all times, including early boot, then your logs will be mangled.")

Similarly, a text log line is complete the moment it's written, even if the process that wrote it goes away immediately afterwards. Journald, by contrast, performs asynchronous metadata lookups for _each_ log line at some later time, which it apparently does not cache. This means that, when a process dies suddenly, the final messages will not appear in "journalctl -u", because they failed to get tagged with metadata. (I can't find the bug for this, so I haven't verified that it's still open and unfixed at this time. But it has certainly existed for years at this point.)

So no, in principle I have no objection to _competent_ binary logs. Journald does not meet that bar.
That’s pretty cool & now curious about what section of B&N you did that in
Nope, not price anchoring. And how do you effectively prove a negative anyway...I see people profiting from models that were long considered voodoo. Always manage risk.
I'm still using a 2013 Macbook Pro (dual boot), and honestly, I could see that being useful for another 8 years. I won't be playing games on it, but it has enough GPU to render High DPI screens just fine. (Granted I feel no urge to upgrade to windows 11 either, so I'm pretty fine leaving it on windows 10 for the next few years.)
Coffin Problems
Does it really have INSTANT startup time (i.e. Sublime Text)?

If it has, I'm interested.

Was not able to find the trial though.
Quoting a comment I posted on here some time ago

You can learn about the theory of sales, I’ll leave the others to post it. Long time sales specialist here: Sales is situational and hard to generalise. There is an important social aspect to sales. You need to know your customer and be able to read their reactions. All individual customers are, well, individuals. They react differently, have different expectations and bring different experience and behaviour to the table. You need to adjust during conversation and be prepared for the worst case scenarios.
I suspect that's more about the weird 'state-legal/federal-illegal' hybrid situation. Banks with federal charters can't touch the industry, so it mostly runs on cash.

Two weeks after we get Federal legalization, someone's going to offer a rewards Visa with 4.20x points for cannabis purchases. You heard it here first.
Focus (as I tried to define it) is not just "paying attention", but more like "a flow state that moves things forward".

The problem is that coordinating forces us to break from that flow state in order to spread, organize, and mediate information across teammates. We can either pay attention to solving problems, or to communicating/informing/negotiating with people, but not both. The manager needs to shut off Slack in order to prep for the meeting, for example.

But you're right. Focus is required to coordinate properly and coordination is required to focus properly. It's an intricate dance. The tricky part is moving between the two states in a harmonious way.
I think you might be mixing up segfault issues on Ryzen 1000 and RDRAND bug in Ryzen 3600. The latter affected games(and yes it’s Zen 2).
I bought a license like 6 months ago and have tried a couple of times back and forth during this period. I thought this was exactly what I was looking for. A modern mix on Vim and VSCode. I was pretty disappointed though tbh. You can really just VSCode with the Vim extension, or just use actual Vim. I think there is space for a product like this though, so A for effort!
You're missing the initial Debian vote, which was made in the Technical Committee, and which came down to a tie.

If you want to claim that process was democratic, you have to believe that the members of the committee perfectly represent the opinions of all Debian developers (to say nothing of Debian users), and therefore have to excuse the fact that the vote had to be settled by giving one of those people, Bdale Garbee (HP's CTO of Linux), effectively two votes.

It was only three days after the tech committee's decision that Mark Shuttleworth announced that Ubuntu would fall in line by abandoning Upstart[0], and not until many months later that the first General Resolution was put forward to try overturning the committee.[1] Of course by that time everyone was tired of the arguments and it would have soured relations with Canonical to force Ubuntu back away from systemd, so the GR was doomed from the start.

Thanks! I updated the OP to reference this for people who may not have been 'in the loop' and need this context.
I could be wrong but isn’t this prioritizing content that cites sources? that seems like it could be valuable, we’re being crushed under waves of information that is utterly unreliable (which is a method of disinfo, intentional or not) and there are too many people that believe the first thing they read.
or better still, maybe its windows 11 that ends up in the garbage. give fedora a try :)
I wonder if there's a relationship to the obesity epidemic, especially since it's not just humans that are getting larger but also lab animals, pets, and wild animals living close to humans [1]. What if we're compelled to eat more calories when we're not getting enough nutrients in our diets? This would impact any animals consuming lower quality fruits and vegetables.

The "space ladder" could be more feasible to lift cargo off of Mars than it is to lift it off of Earth, but who wants to lift cargo off of Mars?
There is still no way to filter application output at collection time, which can functionally make journald useless if you have an application that is too chatty, and will likely never be given that (AFAICT) there is hefty ideological opposition from the systems developers¹.

Fat is really good for you, as long as it's fat you can find in nature. For example, the fat below the skin on a cut of salmon. Utterly delicious, super healthy, and will make your brain work better.
You misunderstood me: are we assuming that the Microsoft list of supported processors represents all the CPUs that can run Windows 11, rather than the list that Microsoft supports (meaning they promise it works, promise it will continue to work)
These at least to me seem like completely different things (and have been in the past).

As an example: Windows 10 is not officially supported on Sandy Bridge CPUs like the i7-2600K but it runs just fine.
i5-2500 with 8GB-16GB RAM (hooray for upgradable RAM) even with is integrated graphics still is winning platform for all important non-gaming consumer applications.
The MCAS problem had nothing whatsoever to do with outsourcing. The problem was in the specification of its behavior.
Just to put it in a perspective: an iMac bought in January 2019 (kaby lake) is not supported by Windows 11.

That’s just crazy.

If Microsoft will continue like that, Windows will be the new Android and you can’t invest into new hardware, as it may be garbage already two years later.
HN is the only place where I see "reclaimthenet.org" pop up (and with strange frequency), and honestly the site itself pretty much seems like some kind of propaganda outlet.

there's intentionally misleading stuff in most articles and I honestly wonder who operates that site.
I built a new desktop PC 2 months ago. I bought the only Ryzen APU (new, not used) I could find online here in Brazil. Ryzen 2200G, Zen 1st gen. Released in 2018, still selling worldwide.

More people should grow some food in their yard. There's quite a few benefits to it in addition to getting a small amount of produce like better understanding of natural cycles and more of a connection to the environment that sustains us.
I am married to a teacher who works in a district with absurd, heavy-handed IT policies imposed with no nuance or regard for the needs of the teachers. Simply researching curriculum on the school network has become very difficult in the past few years. Places where teachers often post collections of links to lesson topics, Pinterest and others, have been made unreachable.
My feedback was that I could not find an example, with a sidebar on mobile at all. There was a hamburger button on the bottom, but it just pulled up a menu for marketing. For example, the user guide appeared to be 1 page, no menu/table of contents at all on mobile?

For me, good documentation consists of a good, clear menu organized like a table of contents, and good representation of information. For me, either your examples don't show it well, or you don't have a menu at all. Best of luck, we use notion, but IMO it's stupidly expensive.
Can you give a quick summary of why grass fed is not necessary. I can imagine a spectrum from grass fed pasture all the way to specialized diets with hay and grain, but this feels like an in-between to all corn fed beef.
One thing I really like about Ocean State Job Lot is they have a couple isles of really cheap fun timeless kids toys that I remember playing with as a kid. I think for a lot of lower income families it's probably one of the only times a kid gets the thrill of walking into a store and selecting new toys to buy.

He did mention trading ammo for food at one point, and later, food for ammo. It wasn't a question of drawn-out firefights, it was a question (as I read it) of always having effective weapons at your disposal, even after several years of continuous small drain.
That's definitely not true for all paperback books. I often buy remaindered paperbacks at Dog Eared and Alley Cat bookshops in San Francisco. You can tell they're remaindered because they're marked with felt tip.

When I lived in the UK, Fopp was a great source for them (along with discount films and music.)
I think we might be arguing different points. I'm not saying use different variable names from the canonical math version - I'm saying the canonical math version should use variable names instead of symbols.

So per your point - I'm not qualified to re-define mathematical notation so I won't go very far with it, but taking the formula you mentioned, Gaussian distribution density function (not focusing on the fact that I had to re-write it in pseudocode to represent it in a text format):

f(x) = 1/(σ * sqrt(2*pi))*e^(-1/2*((x-μ)/σ)^2)

I would suggest a couple changes:

- change σ to `standard_deviation`, or if you don't like snake_case I could handle `stddev`

- change μ to `mean`.

- change x to `input` - there may be a better name than that, and x is pretty widely used in math so I'm not married to this one.

- e should probably stay the same - e means e no matter the mathematical context, while μ means different things in different fields of math.

f(input) = 1/(standard_deviation * sqrt(2*pi))*e^(-1/2*((input-mean)/standard_deviation)^2)

This doesn't make it more or less readable, but it does mean I don't have to _just know_ or look up that μ is `mean` to parse it.
