I'm sticking to my "Who knows what inflation will do / be like." when after the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent stimulus it was pretty much accepted there would be a fair amount of inflation (ranging views from 'yes' to your typical end times predictions) and .... not so much.

I assume that's a pro-jquery site

I write random bits of scripts for internal use, I'm happy enough to drop the min.js in with my index.js, index.css and index.php files, especially if it means I can continue to use

getJSON('/my/url', function(data) {

});

Rather than

var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open('GET', '/my/url', true);

request.onload = function() {
if (this.status >= 200 && this.status < 400) {
// Success!
var data = JSON.parse(this.response);
} else {
// We reached our target server, but it returned an error

}
};

request.onerror = function() {
// There was a connection error of some sort
};

request.send();

The 90KB of jquery is nothing compared with the amount of crap modern javascript frameworks put in on other sites.

I've just looked at one page I wrote which has a little jquery in it. The outputted data is 673kb, which takes nearly half a second to generate and load. The jquery file being static is down in 0.01s.

This isn't a problem
The other thing that I found interesting was this:

"What can one do in the face of such uncertainty? One solution is to hedge your bets, which in this case means to follow the obviously promising paths instead of your own private obsessions. But as with any hedge, you're decreasing reward when you decrease risk. If you forgo working on what you like in order to follow some more conventionally ambitious path, you might miss something wonderful that you'd otherwise have discovered. That too must happen all the time, perhaps even more often than the genius whose bets all fail."

I'm not sure the things we view as safe, such as, medical/law/grad school/mba are really hedges.

You could go to medical school as a safe path but be interested in tech. I thought about this but the medical gate keepers didn't value the tech when I was applying ... Today we see ambitious medicine/tech convergences which arguably present a path there.

I think there is a bigger issue is that we don't know what the jobs of the future will be. But we do know they will be organized around disciplines but not exactly what they are. They will most likely have a technology component because tech is what enables growth.
I actually strongly disagree with this point. America has a very precise definition of individual freedom that I disagree with - it's a big part of why I emigrated. In the US you're absolutely free to die as you wish - in Canada you're free to live a healthy life and do with that life what you may.

Socialism and socialized healthcare frequently gets painted as being anti-freedom but I think that the lack of socialized healthcare infringes more effectively on individual freedoms than the presence of it. In the case of vaccinations - encouraging widespread vaccination (and there is currently and probably will never be a mandate) allows more of the population to act freely. Canada is only behind on vaccinations (and, in total doses administered we're now actually tied) due to the fact that we don't have domestic production facilities which resulted on our dose orders being delayed until America dealt with their domestic population. I don't think that's unfair and I've been pretty critical of the LPC that failed to build out domestic production facilities early into the pandemic but - eh, we work with what we've got.

I think you are projecting what you view as two options in America - either communism or individual freedoms - onto the rest of the world. That is a myopic approach to take when considering all the cultures and governments in the world.
I always thought that it was a quick metaphor for heat(red, white) and cold (blue, black). I have a hard time relating other colormaps in the same way.

What’s strange to me is that they’re featuring “best X” in all these difference shots, yet their experience I still don’t think does a great job. Best at what? According to whom and why? What is the priority list?

The headphones graphic is a great example of that. We have over the ear headphones next to in-ear AirPods, serving likely different markets with different needs often at different price points. Their example with best mattress is from a very limited perspective; my fancy McRoskey mattress doesn’t show, yet I could easily argue that’s a top 5 mattress. It’s also out of most peoples price ranges and availability… but it really is one of the best (if all your care about is quality).

I have the same experience with Yelp. All these 5 star reviews projecting many dimensions from wildly different perspectives and expectations onto a single dimension as an average.

I’d love to see an honest attempt at either personalization or at least some kind of deeper analysis/tooling that lets me explore the set of possibilities. Do I value ambiance? Newness? Service? Location? Social experience? Price? Who are these people reviewing things and do their aesthetics resemble mine? There are way better experiences possible out there.

> There's no denying it's a proxy for political positions

What does that mean? Vaccination is not a political position in most other countries - it's just a policy goal at a national level.

The goal would be to give local governments and businesses an approved way to understand who has received the vaccine so they could open up safely.

The biggest downside to a text file is when you need to add “not text”. At least, “not ASCII”. Non-latin characters. Images. Sound files.

Sure, some programs will accept unicode as readily as ASCII, but not all. Formatting symbols are not well, or universally, defined. And definitely no consistent support for non-text items.

Of course, these are mostly minor non-issues on a day-to-day basis.

That said, I do wonder sometimes if the answer is HTML. Easily written, significant support for writing in text editors, virtually automatic support for the entire unicode set, lots of built-in markup, images, sounds, and movies are easy to embed, and there isn’t an OS that can’t display it.

Just a thought.
How do kernels written in {C, Rust} handle that userspace code can create UB situations in kernel code, and prevent userspace memory unsafety from causing the kernel to malfunction?
How does traffic reach or leave the machine if a network level firewall is restricting access? It seems I have a fundamental misunderstanding of something.
How so? In my example, the default route has a MTU of 1500 and the localnet route has a MTU of whatever the interface is (9000 in this example)

When you send a packet, the destination route is looked up to determine the MTU. If you send to the internet, you'll get small packets (not IP fragments), and 10. will get large packets.

Not for reinforced concrete, the rusted rebar is still rusted after repointing. Which causes ever increasing internal stress and lower strength over time.

> I know you’re not “just checking in”.

But that's the issue here: this is how a lot of managers "just check in"! Maybe that's not how you would do it, but that's how a lot of us do.

There's no backhanded way of telling something is wrong. "Is there anything I can do to help?" is a legitimate question. I believe that is the crux of the miscommunication here, not the cultural part (I'm also in EU).

I believe you're reading this in a different way others are, which is completely okay, but is leading to lots of misinterpretation. I'd seriously rethink if you're not the one being judgemental here, especially about the "passive aggressive" part.

I also think you're also coming from a compeltely different direction here: you're giving management advice, while what I was trying to give is how to interpret your manager's words.

Your body has to move calcium ions in and out of (striated) muscles to trigger contractions. This is done through "calcium channels". Mg2+ is an antagonist to the activation of calcium channels.

You need enough calcium to achieve a strong reliable contraction, and enough magnesium to keep the channels "closed" when they should be closed (among very many other physiological uses).

In short, you need a balance of calcium and magnesium for reliable muscle function. A gross excess or lack of either is bad.

I had the most amazing experience at Oregon City Brewing with my good friend as my first post-pandemic drink. They had pretty standard paper menus with drink lists, but the QR code popped up a version that let you pick a few AND PAY using Apple Pay, Google Pay, then you got your drinks delivered by the same friendly waitstaff. It was a great experience and no cash or cards exchanged hands. I think more quick serve/bars should be doing this.

I think the mistake you might be making is assuming that any tool adopted is always used all the time. Even professional race car drivers probably opt for an automatic transmission over the manual on the mini-van if they get one. Different choices for different needs.

There will always be a place for meticulous consideration of exactly what's being done, and many levels of that as well. For the same reason people reach for python to mock up a proof of concept or throw something together that is non-essential but useful to have quickly, even meticulous programmers might use this to good effect for small things they don't care to spend a lot of time on because it's not as important as something else, or the language they're using for this small task isn't one they feel as proficient in.

Consumer Reports: Tesla Model 3 Regains Consumer Reports Top Pick

I think on some level, barring the "stuck-in-bed depression" cases, we all work hard, but the work is nothing like a startup or a coding challenge.

It's more often things like going on a walk and identifying the birds, going to the bar and getting better at telling stories or playing pool, seeing patterns in watching daily traffic or weather. Things you absolutely could go deep on, but just can't justify as "character building exercise" because they won't directly lead to you acquiring property or power.

And that's where the alarm bells start to come in; if you get anxious about that, you can get stuck on the idea of work and cut yourself off from a balanced set of interests, and this hits young people especially hard because they don't know what the balance could look like, or they observe media(including HN) where the balance is clearly defined towards one extreme, think "I will become that" and treat it as a masochistic exercise. I believe this to be a deep affliction of the online world particularly since, without trying you can stumble into media containing the "best" of everything.

> The Tesla Model 3 has regained its status as a Consumer Reports Top Pick after independent tests proved the effectiveness of its new camera-based automatic emergency braking (AEB) and forward collision warning (FCW) systems.

> Earlier today, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety released the first evaluations of new Tesla vehicles that use a camera-based system for AEB and FCW. Because of their performance, the Model 3 will once again get a Top Safety Pick+ designation, which is the IIHS’ highest safety award.

> “Given the IIHS’ recent evaluations of Tesla’s new camera-based system on its Model 3 and consistent with CR’s integration of IIHS ratings into our recommendations, CR is restoring the car’s Top Pick status,” says Jake Fisher, senior director of CR’s Auto Test Center.

Also, new Tesla software update is going out (2021.4.18.10) that restores emergency lane departure avoidance, smart summon; 80mph autopilot cap on vision only Model 3's and Y's (previously, with radar, cap was 90mph) [1] [2]. Auto high beams on Autopilot can also be disabled [3].

Modern Debian/Ubuntu MySQL packaging doesn't even do that. It defaults to Unix socket authentication, and so you can only log in if you are actually root on the system (eg. if you use "sudo mysql"). It does also only bind to 127.0.0.1 by default as you say.

I’ve subscribed to see if Optery is able to at least scan those 150 sites they promise to remove listings from. The dashboard showed they found me on 168 sites. Some results contained links to data brokers. Tried to follow some of them - they returned either 404 or data broker’s page without my information.

On their site Optery says “Our dashboard provides dynamically generated custom deep links you can click through to view your profile at most of these sites.” I got suspicious and registered once again to check how bad things are. This time I searched for a fictitious name from a fictitious city: John Queizi9Joot9Eiyohkeigh4Cohtae2Ae from Konohagakure, CA. Optery “found” this person on 168 sites once again. Lol, same 168 results for me and for fake me.

Some screenshots: Scan results for non-existing name and city on data brokers sites: https://imgur.com/a/xFtTljS Non-existing profile on addresses.com Optery dashboard report links to https://imgur.com/a/KqTtlut

Absolutely true.

If your code is so repetitive that can be correctly predicted by an AI, you are either using a language that lacks expressiveness or have poor abstraction.

The biggest problem in the software world is excessive complexity, excessive amounts of (poor) code and reinventing the wheel.
Micromasters is a trademarked credential. Each of the different online learning platforms has their own, normally leaning on/leeching off established and recognised credentials as in this case the Masters. They could have made it an entire category, open to use by others and instead chose to TM it.

But is there really more warehouse space per person (or at least per patch of dense residences)? They imply so with:

>Online shopping warehouses require around three times the logistics footprint of physical shops.

But this isn't supported in any way. I could see arguments either way, but are shop warehouse stores denser or just narrower in scope?
This is incredibly misleading.

I used to be a close follower of the pharma industry, and you're making it seem like FDA trials happen on molecules and formulations somewhat related to the proposed formulation and then are, like, transitively approved on that hand-wavey basis. This is totally wrong.

For reasons that should be obvious to any engineer that's worked on any kind of even moderately complex system, the molecule that is tested and trialed is the molecule that goes to production.

You don't test "the technology" and then some unrelated other vaccine and then say, there we go, this one's safe.

You test the actual formulation that will go to production. This can't have happened for this yet. The trials are still underway. Unknown risk.

I dunno if you're misinformed or a troll, but that's dangerous stuff to be putting out there.

Vaccines are amazing life-saving tech, and they're safe because of our cultural technologies (FDA trials for e.g.) that make them safe. You can't take all the safety gear out and still get the same safety rating. Doesn't make sense, lol.

Anecdotally, from years at the playground, the attitude of trying to maximize the quality of your parenting is however a killer impediment to being a good parent. Parenting is challenging and a lot of time, but works a lot better when you are doing it in the moment rather than to achieve some agenda.

Of course one of the great things about parenting is that mostly you get to have the same situations over and over again, and get to change your approaches (including consistency) to see what happens with different approaches. So you get practiced at each thing. And the talent needed for parenting is more intimate that for writing software - it's the talent to make your toddlers laugh, to make your 4 year old confident enough to try something they want to try. It's a set of skills for doing stuff between a particular parent/child system. My tricks might not work for you; my tricks for my first born did not work for my second born.
