I would bet a huge personal sum that if there were a federal legal guarantee of no vaccine passports, hesitancy would evaporate overnight, and every single SMART health leak and backdoor regulation to enable them is creating an increasingly hard core and radicalized resistance movement.

Yellow card is for some international travel and school enrollment. It is not a vaccine passport, so while I appreciate engaging the question, it's not clear that this is the same use case. Nobody asks an adult for their measles vaccination status in a normal domestic interaction like a concert, train, office, etc.

I think most people should get vaccinated and we can all move on with our lives, however, I also think a generalized vaccine passport for domestic use is an abomination with inevitable and horrific consequences, and so I am trying to get a sense of what the sincere case for it is. If it's just leveraging the crisis to institute bureaucratic social controls, I'll be the most reasonable man on the barricades.

We need a better "why" that is actually true, and not a cynical "noble lie," (like masks/no-masks was), because when you actually get off the internet and talk to people, it's the percieved lies and the attitudes of the people who tell them that are creating the hesitancy.

If a covid-unvaccinated person goes into a stadium or bar full of covid-vaccinated people, what is the effect? The only way the shots get more traction is with a clear and honest answer to that, imo.
I thought it would be someone you can talk to.
I'd be willing to bet a reasonable amount that there's a large future for "subtractive software development" (maybe a slightly misleading or unfair term, since it'd include bugfixes).

Once we have multiple proven technologies that handle each of the functional areas that we collectively need, then we'll start to find greater benefit in maintenance, bugfixes, and performance improvements for those existing technologies and their dependencies than we find writing additional code and libraries.
You can't get rid of disinformation especially if it's a gray area where "both" versions are somewhat correct. Sometimes the disinformation is just an incomplete picture or something out of context.

The issue I see is the the "authorities" or institutions that you could go to to get an answer to your uncertainty are not trusted. It is also very important for "authorities" on issues to not laugh off stupid questions, instead they should answer questions clearly and not in a condensation tone which sadly I see a lot today. Yes the question may be way out of bound but by answering it clearly and concise you give it weight, laughing at people does the opposite and fuels the conspiracy.

I would love to see a poll done in the US asking people if they trust so and so. From institutions to members of congress to their neighbor. I think the result would be quite shocking
>if this system was able to understand how to make code better you could keep training it until you had perfect code

Based on the FAQ, it looks like some information about how you interact with the suggestions is fed back to the Copilot service (and theoretically OpenAI) to better improve the model.

So, while it may not understand "how to make code better" on its own, it can learn a bit from seeing how actual devs do make code better and theoretically improve from usage.
I would've thought that destroying your users' data in vast amounts would be bad for the company. Surely this would shatter user trust? Who would buy something like this from Western Digital in the future?

And yet, their stock price seems unaffected. It was slightly up, though just in the way it randomly fluctuates, on the day of the announcement.
Ask HN: Is there a reference of UX tips for various components?
I just read "11 Tips for Better Signup / Login UX"[1] from the front page earlier today and liked the format.

Is there a reference of good UI/UX practice for various components? Tables, pagination, whatever, these are solved and I'm tired of reinventing them every time :)

If there's no such reference, would you be interested in one?

There are also cases of people being infected despite having had 2 doses of mRNA vaccine:

Having had Covid twice myself (different variants?), I don’t agree!
The vast majority of SEO optimization at this point is through backlinks, internal keywords, meta tags, links, headings, keyword usage, etc.
The codes are moving back to 2x4 walls. Since the 1970s 2x6 started becoming common, but that reversed when someone realized you can put 2 inches of foam outside the 2x4, have the same wall thickness (meaning common doors/windows fit), and there is no break in the wall insulation. The wood itself in a board is not great insulation, so the foam around the whole house even while it seems to offer the same r value offers more. (you can also get foam with r values much better than wood, I'm not aware of code requiring that, but some builders offer it as an upgrade).

Note that this foam is foil faced meaning it insulates against radiation energy as well as conduction or convection.
That depends on whether the @ff317's solution (2) also includes availability over the internet.
That is nonsense. We approved it for emergency use based on a tentative analysis of the risk reward trade off. With hundreds of millions of shots given there is no particular reason to believe there should be ANY long term consequence of the covid vaccine and short term side effects are understood.
I was approved for their beta, but they wanted to install an extension. Then I tried their reveal today, need an account just to see. Maybe they’ll get the buzz they’re looking for, but I don’t trust their product management I’d this is how the test and launch.
If we didn't need programmers to do the programming, that would be a perfect world.
I think it's just another monetization model and another competitor overall in the space.

If you like the privacy of DDG but really don't like ads, you can pay Neeva a monthly fee for a similar experience.

Doesn't have to be winner-take-all - there's enough space in the market for both models to do well, and more competition will keep each of them honest in their value props to users.
IIUC this is insufficient (!) - even with a firewall between them, a VM now vulnerable to attack from another VM on the subnet (in the same GCP project).
Wow, I've never seen a picture of these. They are beautiful, perhaps an inspiration for the NeXT cube?

That's nonsense. Look at the "about us" pages for tech companies and startups. You'll see a huge diversity of backgrounds among SVPs of engineering, including many first generation immigrants.

There are also a lot of senior military officers at the O-5 to O-6 level who started out enlisted. The relative lack at the O-7 level and above is due more to retirement age limits than anything else. If a service member did a couple enlisted tours, then went to college and OCS, they usually just run out of time.
TLDR: NIMBYs suing to block projects, delaying the work. Simple inflation in materials, wages, property values, etc., during the legal battles drive up the ultimate costs.

Also, America builds infrastructure largely as 1-off projects, rather than continuously, so there are startup and shutdown costs added on. IOW...bureaucracy would actually reduce costs.

Corruption is a drop in the bucket compared to these other items.
Nope, wasn't complaining.
Really I don't think there is an objective definition of a term like "plain text" and it's even context sensitive. If I tell somebody my software can be configured with a JSON file, and they ask "what's a JSON file?", I might respond that it's "just a plain text format" to convey that they can open the thing in Notepad and have a reasonable chance of understanding and editing it. On the other hand, if I get some software that receives emails in an inbox and parses them to load data into a table, and it claims to support "plain text emails only" I wouldn't send it HTML emails and think I'm doing it right because "HTML is plain text".

If you absolutely must have an objective definition, I might try saying that "plain text" is WYSIWYG Unicode or ASCII. WYSIWYG meaning the formatting it exhibits when displayed is the same formatting it exhibits in the editor, and Unicode or ASCII meaning only the formatting available from those character encodings is available (so a Word Document doesn't count as plain text even though it is WYSIWYG).
His rant only applies to preemptible threads. If you don't have preemptible threads spinlocks works great. The linux kernel uses them in non-preemptible contexts.

It's a defect in an old product that they don't sell or even support anymore. They are still selling hard drives by the millions to server and storage OEMs. Consumers mostly are not even buying spinning drives anymore. It's all Flash or SSD.
“Societal success” in this sense is relative to others’ performance, and as such will always be “hard”, because the person aiming for this success is by definition aiming to be a statistical outlier.
> Anyone want to hire me to teach your grandma how to use the internet?

Only for the first time to train a model for that.
You jest, but the parent is close to what I believe is a possible scenario - the one Nick Bostrom calls "a Disneyland with no children".

No tax, no flying cars, eventually not even humans around - just AI-driven companies endlessly trading with each other, in a fully-automated, self-contained, circular economy, from which sentient beings were optimized away.

Who is this? Why do we care what he says? Can you provide a source for the quote?

The Cleveland clinic disagrees with your “authoritative” quote (see comments above)
> What I don't get is why are people directly connecting these devices to the internet?

Because they want to access their data from anywhere or at least like the idea of doing that and it's under their control, not the Google or Microsoft cloud.
IIRC, the default blinkenlighs on the CM-5 was apparently a LED for each of the 4096 "cores" (really a SIMD-lane), and whether or not that particular "core" is active. On means that SIMD-lane is active, off means its inactive. Kind of a glorified Microsoft Windows "CPU Performance" screen, except physical.

Given the regular pattern in Jurassic Park, I assume they reprogrammed the LEDs to look more futuristic.
Now same is happening in US. Not sure why I am being downvotes.
pg's writing is still improving. That's impressive for someone who has been writing as long as him.
> Is this supposed to be making the case ~against~ jQuery?

It's supposed to be making a case against jQuery if you're pulling in the whole library just to do this one thing.

I've always read the site as "here's how to do it in native JS, yes it's uglier, but if you only need this, you can skip pulling in another dependency."
What is the thing being implied? Like as far as I can tell, Google's position seems to be that "it is best if vuln researchers have the freedom to disclose unfixed issues, especially after reporting them".

People criticize P0 for publishing issues despite companies asking for extensions. But we're criticizing Google here for...what? They didn't ask for an extension, they didn't try to prevent this person from disclosing. Where is the hypocritical thing?
> I'm squatting. To ensure they're not used as socket puppets.

Good idea. I've noticed more of those popping up. My wife has an Instagram impersonator that constantly spams some kind of essential oils crap or other beauty product snake oil.
> This is a problem. I don't know the solution, except that companies should really commit to LTS support of things no matter the sales targets.

The EU and US could mandate that all products sold in the EU/US have their firmware source code, working toolchain as a virtual machine image and all relevant documentation (including SoC docs, BOM and schematics, as well as case and other parts' 3D specs and any digital certificates and private keys) be held in trust at the national public libraries. When the manufacturer ceases to support the device - including not fixing critical security bugs at 90 days post disclosure - the complete archive is released to the public as open source.

Additionally, the US and EU could mandate that any Internet connected device's firmware as well as its development process must pass an audit at certified organizations such as TÜV or UL. We're doing this for electrical and gas appliances already due to the risk these things pose to the general public, it's time to do the same for IT.

Products developed as open source can be exempted from the audit requirement to incentivize open source development.
You can scale load on many things in more recent versions of K8s. for example, pubsub depth of un-acked messages, or custom metrics in prometheus format.

Your post reveals your eating habits. :) There are tons of chain restaurants that exist in both SF and LA, as well as nationally. There's no shortage of chain food options. McDonalds, Chipotle, Applebee's, Denny's, Pizza Hut, Chili's, and on and on. Your budget and palate may allow you the luxury of never eating in those kinds of places, but to say America is not really homogeneous because you choose not to frequent those kinds of places, ignores the reality of the many many chain restaurants who's appeal is the consistency of dining experience.

Even if you don't considered inferred salary directly tied to you as "personal data," surely you consider geo location personal data?

Also, aren't you even slightly outraged that you can't even download data that has been hacked and released into the wild?

Or outraged by the fact that you can only download data you have given directly to a service provider, but that the service provider will happily tell 3rd parties about your shadow profiles?

I'm not qualified to give advice to someone like PG. But millionaires and billionaires need to get some perspective and get out of their bubble before spouting nonsense advice to common people. For most normal people, it is about surviving and finding a profession that can pay the bills. At least acknowledging your role and place in society before focussing on some rarefied advice will be more useful (not to mention may also generate more clicks).

So as a challenge to PG: if you believe in yourself so strongly, prove it. Just freeze your billions and mansions for 6 months. Downgrade your life to live like a normal person. Get some perspective and write again. You'll probably become even more successful in the process (not that you care for it).

Everyone in this thread rightfully outraged by insulin prices needs to look into the rebate system and PBMs in America. Its an absurdly complicated environment, born out of a desire to drive drug costs down, that paradoxically drives them up. There's plenty of approaches to tackling drug prices, but dismantling the rebate system needs to be included.

And frankly, the best way to dismantle the system is through some form of publicly available, universal health insurance. I believe in the power of healthy, free markets as much as anyone, but the current healthcare system is anything but. The lack of a non-profit seeking provider of health care, in a space where customers options are to pay whatever is charged or simply die, is not a functioning market. The rebate system was born out of what was a legislative bandage over this issue. Continuing to try and come up with cute solutions that avoid government provided healthcare for all will see similar results. Its why Americans spend so much more on insulin, and most other forms of healthcare services, than the vast majority of the world.
I was only commenting on the claim that JavaScript was the "sole language available for the web platform".
Deploy to production :).

You can use a model checker that understands C++11 memory model.
I invite you to try automating this and let us know what happens. Try creating, let’s say 1000 accounts and try liking or posting and see what happens. I’ve seen that system at work and doubt you’d get very far.

More than that, you misunderstand how advertisers prioritise their money. They pay for outcomes. If they notice that over the past couple of months they’ve been receiving mostly bot traffic, they stop advertising. Not everyone all at once, but enough that revenue begins to decline. An ad based business that cares about the long term will do it’s best to weed out the inauthentic engagement.
Yes, I get that. I was curious if there were other differences.

For example DDG uses bing I think, does Neeva do their own indexing?
I was just a kid early in my career as a geek, but I remember being so excited to see the news on CNet.com's front page: Apple announced a phone!

I knew it was going to be a big deal after two events, first: my dad, a lifelong Windows diehard, bought one. Second, we were at a friend's house and the need to travel somewhere else came up and he instantly pulled up a turn by turn nav to that location. I have a distinct memory of thinking "huh, that really is going to change a lot about life."

Of course, you couldn't actually run turn by turn nav without the phone being plugged in to power - remember the days of toggling off GPS anytime you weren't driving to save juice?

Also, remember how much importance was placed on physical keyboards? I remember seeing R&D projects brought to CES that could make 3D buttons emerge from a screen but ultimately everyone just got used to touch keyboards and swipe-style input became a thing.
Eh, I'd say it's a valid use case as any.

Maybe someone just didn't have the time confidence or interest to learn CSS. Maybe it's as simple as doing what you want, doing what you can afford to do, etc.

What I don't like is the negative framing of this choice. Bad things will be built, regardless of the underlying tools. Grandparent claimed that using Frameworks results in bad practices. I claim that shaming people and questioning their choices (whether they made them consciously or unconsciously) is a bad practice.
It's a pity it is not (yet, I hope) a plugin to popular IDEs like Intellij IDEA etc. and works only in VS Code.
I wonder if they were looking for wallet.dat files?
> "This product that isn't aimed at me isn't aimed at *me*, and that makes me stamp my feet in anger."

> Sometimes I already have background knowledge that overlaps with the course content.

I used to think like you, all the time. "Oh, I already know this." and while I'm sitting there being all smug and self-satisfied that I'm the smartest person in the room I realized:

* The content is good for a refresher. "Background" knowledge is just that, you're admitting you want to hear an expert speak on a subject yet want to throw out what they have to say because you "already know it from before this class".

* The content often provides context. Just like the "Previously on..." segment of TV shows that will recap specific plot points so the viewer understands the events of the new episode they're about to watch, discussing what you term "prior knowledge" will help contextualize the new content that you don't understand properly.

> Basically, I see no reason online courses can't be structured to give us more choices about how we want to consume the content!

OK, but that's not edX/Corsera's job lol

They don't have to cater to every single whim of every type of education personality. It's all well and fine that you, a multiple degree holder, would love to skip around content that you find boring/tedious/whatever while saying you want "someone qualified to teach me who can filter out what's important and what's not".

Like it or not, these websites are just simply not aimed at you, a large-brained Multiple Degree Holder. They're aimed at people who are behind you in education.
When we pushed a bunch of teams at a large retailer from ec2 to kubernetes in ec2 (not eks) we reduced overall cloud spend by ~30%.

It's only unpredictable and unquantifiable if you don't look at it. Is the problem that they don't have the right tools to look at it yet?

It says it's trained on "billions of lines of code"

I would augment that to "billions of lines of code that may or may not be safe and secure"

If they could tie in CodeQL into Copilot to ensure the training set only came from code with no known security concerns, that would be a big improvement.
I've seen things like that in industrial control systems. I think some high-performance networking setups also do things like that, doing almost everything in user-space, actively polling for packets from the hardware.
> It's Docker's responsibility to not open firewall ports unless explicitly asked to do so.

You are asking Docker to open firewall ports with the -p option, it explicitly even says in the manual that published ports will be reachable from everywhere that can access the IP you're publishing on (either default 0.0.0.0 or an IP of your choosing).
In terms of modeling, it handles nesting extremely well (repeater fields, Flexible Content Field). It has powerful conditionals (show X button if Y field = Z).

In terms of layout, it can present a layout of fields like this sample (https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/wp-content/themes/acf/a...) whereas most headless CMS just show fields one after another in one long list, or at most inside a collapsible accordion.

The combination of nestable, reusable blocks + conditional fields means that you can really make the editor experience streamlined if you put in the time to design a good layout.

The other CMSes don't really give you that choice; you're bound by their editor frontend's limitations (as in you can't rearrange fields, can't group them together logically, can't put them into tables or columns or rows).

It's the kind of stuff that doesn't matter to devs much (it's all JSON once it gets to us) but can make the editor experience more intuitive.

Edit: Also, coupled with custom Wordpress taxonomy plugins, it allows you to model things that aren't necessarily pages (menus, products, quotations/testimonials, events, etc.). Many of the other FOSS CMSes use file-based models in which every model has to be a file/page. You can often work around that but it's not very intuitive, like if you wanted to nest a testimonial inside an accordion on a product page, how do you model that? It's pretty easy in ACF or the DB-based headless CMSes, not so easy in the file-based ones.
> they have been cracking down on SIMs without ID numbers or resident visas associated with them.

?? I use Google Fi which has agreements with providers in almost every country, I had data as soon as I walked off the plane in China. Alipay was almost as easy to set up, although I understand that until recently it was limited to those with a Chinese bank account.
I can see the problem.
At night, often. For example, I have had a use case where we needed a 1000 node build farm during the day when developers were working, but only 50 at night. Machine learning jobs are another common source of workloads that need burst capacity.
