> Then there's the elephant in the room: so few people have been tested that it really difficult to know who has had it. Anyone who has had a cold in the past 18 months is going to claim they had covid, regardless of whether they tested positive or not.

There are many many people who have confirmed positive COVID tests. At least excuse those.

>I think it's a little irresponsible to society to give anyone an out on getting vaccinated.

I think it's irresponsible to require people who most science points to having better protection naturally, to also have to get a vaccine. From this point of view, 2 dose vaccine still have less protection than natural antibodies. Maybe we should require the vaccinated to keep getting more vaccine shots until science shows they're at par with natural antibodies, lowest hanging fruit and all...
I believe they’re referring to places small enough and slightly open so that you can see the few kitchen workers.

I ran into a few of those mom and pop joints in Korea as well. Basically every 김밥 (kimbap) shop is kinda like subway where you can see them prepare the food.

I believe they were talking about how interacting with an actual human is part of the experience of going out for them. And just going to a restaurant in order to fiddle with a menu screen and order kind of defeats the purpose since you could just do that with takeout? It doesn’t bother me either way, but I prefer restaurants that have a button on the table to call the server.
Perhaps arrogance should be added to what it takes to be successful.

I'm only half joking; I do think a certain kind of arrogance is conducive to success. Not the kind that screams insecurity and turns off your teammates, rather the kind that goes: "Perhaps I really am the first person who can do this." and then does it.
QR code should be to go menus. It looks stupid to sit there flipping through a 5-6 inch screen to identify what food or dish you're looking at.

My favorite method put the menu into the table with a glass top. Better than people touching.
Not looking forward to dealing with this from a security point of view. It's difficult to get developers to accept responsibility for security vulnerabilities in libraries they've selected for their project ("That's not my code!"). I can see the same thing happening with generated code where they don't want to take responsibility for finding a way to remediate any vulnerabilities they didn't personally type in. Of course those who exploit the vulnerabilities won't care how it got into the code. They're just happy they're able to make use of it.
Budibase looks impressive thanks for sharing. How does scaling / load balancing work if I outgrow a single container?
I suppose for me, going to a restaurant is not a matter of "efficiency". I go there to socialize with friends, to enjoy the atmosphere, to interact with people. If service is slow, then, yes, I get annoyed. However, I don't think I ever go into a restaurant thinking, "I wish they would make restaurant ordering more efficient." If I want that, I go to a fast food place or place that does takeout.
The post had no indication of a bounty being held hostage. From https://www.google.com/about/appsecurity/reward-program/ it seems like the requirement for a bounty is not for "don't disclose before fix is released", but "don't disclose without reasonable advance notice".

So I just don't see the inconsistency here. Project Zero gives a disclosure deadline. The reporter here chose not to give one. When they said they wanted to disclose, there was no stalling for extra time. Just what is the expectation here?
Or as today they would describe as it diamond hands.

It is rare to have both the conviction to bet everything and also be right at the same time.
Some SMS and TOTP are vulnerable to phishing, yes (combination with a good password manager reduces/eliminates this). That's not the only attack though, and it's still better than nothing.
As mentioned previously, we are in the early days of fully understanding the science behind these vaccines. There are many reasonable speculations that the mechanism of the CDC acknowledged cases of myocarditis and pericarditis from both the vaccine and the virus itself, are caused by spike proteins. The only way the vaccine can cause that is if those proteins aren't limited to the injection site.

It's actually extraordinarily difficult to find reasonable discussions on this topic, since it seems people want to suppress any conversation that puts a potentially negative light on covid vaccinations, which pushes any reasonable discussion into the cesspool of conspiracy theorist dialogue.

Here's a couple links:

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.12.21.423721v1....
https://assets.researchsquare.com/files/rs-95587/v1_stamped....
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8162819/

Not hard to search and find reasonable studies in early stages.

Once again, I have to give a disclaimer to avoid the brigade: I am optimistic about these vaccines for many things, but I would not be surprised if in 5 years we have a body of knowledge that refutes the "overall really safe" label. Still a super valuable medical tool, I mean no one would take chemo drugs if they didn't have cancer, but people take them because it's overall better than not taking them if you have a treatable version of cancer!
I think this would be a great resource for beginners particularly. It helps give them the code that will work for them and they can understand what it's returning. That was my biggest issue when I first started with REST calls was not knowing what to use and why things were being used on the server side. Eventually it started to click for me, but I had a lead guide me. In particular we worked with SharePoint which I had no idea had it's own API at the time which added to the complexity. Overall I think the "See different examples" is going to be the best feature out of all of them.

> Isn't this technically illegal in the United States?

Nope.

> That is to say, all businesses are obligated to accept U.S. currency as payment

No, they aren't. If there is a preexisting debt, the “legal tender” status of currency has some effect especially if there isn't a contracted-for form of payment, but many businesses operate payment-first with no debt created, and those that don’t tend to contractually specify forms of payment.
I don’t doubt your options strategy, but this didn’t move the market for WD at all because it’s ultimately small time news compared to everything else happening.
It is pretty common for networks used for local NFS storage, or other uses where the packets are somewhat guaranteed to not leave the facility, like between Oracle RAC nodes, etc.
Ivermectin should be looked at more. It helps with long Covid as well as active and as a
preventative measure (though I would not expect many people outside of medical workers to take a daily preventive dose of anything for a virus, still just interesting).

It’s out of patent and there’s no almost money to be made providing it, so drug companies and organizations they have captured (WHO, CDC, NYT, YouTube, to name a few) are shutting down discussion of it.

By “shutting down discussion” I mean for example literally deleting video of Senate testimony from a practicing ICU doctor (Pierre Kory) whose protocols have been widely adopted for Covid treatment.

In a trial of ~1200 health care workers who were working closely with Covid patients, 800 who received prophylactic ivermectin had zero cases of Covid. Of the 350+ (the numbers did not add up to exactly 1200) workers who received a placebo, 57% of them did get Covid.

That’s just a trial. There are also real world use results. There are many successful trials of it, but big pharma is promoting the (possibly valid) criticism that the studies are not randomized enough. I don’t know if this applies to all studies, but it’s a propaganda war, so I’d fully expect they’ll make it sound like it does. Another captured organization (sorry, forgot the name) claimed that they worried there might be publication bias in the studies, but this has been
looked at and ruled out.

In real life, it’s been used in several large countries to bring crises under control… on a nationwide basis in Mexico and more spotilly on a state by state basis in India (politics comes in and when something works, others with opposed interests work to suppress the good news and make noise to sow FUD… which is supposedly part of why the overwhelmingly positive Mexico results have not been huge in the news).

It’s also been around for decades as an anti-parasite drug and is known to be safe in adults and children. And it has anti inflammatory effects that also help when used to fight an active Covid case. Worth some attention at least.

> anonymous non-checked untested code

What? It's not anonymous, it's still committed by a dev. It can be non-checked and untested, that's true. But it's not any less untested than any other code. If you choose not to write tests for your code, this won't change anything.

The only issue I see with this is it being potentially unchecked. And the solution to that is reading all the code you commit, even though it's generated by AI.
I don't think it is bad as an option, but I resent it as the only method.

* Homeless/poor may not have phones

* Old people don't have smartphones or know how to use them

* I don't want to have my phone with me at all times. I actually leave my phone in the car when dining sometimes.

* Something as simple as a listing of options, which is often static for weeks or more at a time, now depend on a WAN connection! It's meatspace dependency hell.

I know "menu costs" are such a thing that it is taught in accounting and business classes. Nevertheless, the idea of getting rid of a hard menu, even as a backup, is absurd, unnecessary, and dare I use a buzzword I hate, "privileged".

They fear a Congressional inquiry and federal price caps. Normally, you'd expect a new medicine entering the market to get cheaper as the production ramps up, yet it's gone the opposite direction, even after the patent has expired.
What cognitive problem do you have? It's just syntax sugar to let you easily manipulate the dom tree. Generating dom nodes and intertwined logic becomes trivial when you have jsx. If u want a list u can do dataList.map(data -> SomeComponent); or do ifTrue ? Component1 : Component2; or even use a function to return conditionally with a switch.

JSX is not HTML because it need to blend logic and HTML seamlessly. React is not static site builder, it's an app builder. If your project doesn't need this sure go ahead. Otherwise are there much better choices?

When we designed to UI library for FOAM in 2011 at Google, we did extensive benchmarking, and discovered that DOM calls were very slow and that we could greatly improve performance by batching them. Yes, in the end, you still need to make DOM calls to update the DOM, but you were better off forming all of your DOM's html on the JS side and then just make one call to element.innerHTML = myHTML and then hookup listeners if necessary. The JS to C++ bridge was very slow, and so you were better off to make one large call and then have C++ parse your HTML and build all of the DOM itself than you were to make many small DOM calls adding each element and attribute value individually. However, I was recently writing a document on the performance advantages of FOAM's virtual DOM, but rather than just assert the fact without proof, I wrote some benchmarks to demonstrate... that it is in fact no longer faster. As a result, we're replacing FOAM's UI library, called U2, with a new non-virtual DOM library called U3.

Umami is a great self-hosted alternative, which you can load under a subdomain to avoid it being blocked by adblockers. Most of the SaaS products end up on uBlock or other adblocker lists, even when they respect privacy, so this has been my go to option.

UserTrack is another great option we use and it continues to add great features. It's more than worth the commercial license fee. I had a conversation with Cristian by email this weekend, for example, about adding a feature. By this morning he had put together an example in their docs on how to add the feature to your site.

Perhaps AI should work on simplifying the existing stack first, without breaking the functionality. What about that?
No it isn't - it's providing unified and clear guidance on vaccination. I'm up in Canada where vaccine hesitancy has been almost unheard of[1] and those who refuse to get vaccinated, excepting those that can't for medical reasons, are ostracized for their overtly selfish actions. The US, though, has a real problem with disinformation being accepted more readily than fact. I am fine with the theory of having a nuanced and technical discussion of vaccine efficacy but I think it's pretty clear that that discussion can't happen in the public forum due to continued calls that hydroxychloroquine is an equally valid solution.

> Wat. 300 nights over 15 years is way too much? That is utterly insane to me. That means on average, you only went out 1 night every 2 weeks. If you had kids, I'd understand but for someone in their youth - that is nearly shut-in status.

I think we need to agree on what's a night out. If you come back at home around 3AM and sleep at 5AM; I find it hard that you can work the next morning and keep at it everyday. It's possible to do that at weekends, but then you probably have errands to run at that. A month in another country avoids any onshore errands and also brings adventure.

Sure you can go out every-night for 1-2 hours at your local pub/coffee. But these hardly bring any adventure or novelty; they are just part of the routine and honestly now, I couldn't care less about them. They are forgettable events: irrelevant. I'd rather be doing interesting work, or just sit down in front of Netflix.
> The advantage of something like this is that instead of having to go to stack overflow or any number of reference sites and copy pasta it can just happen automatically without me having to leave my IDE.

In the examples, I wish the auto-generated code came with comments or an explanation like SO does. The code I need help with the most is the code that's a stretch for me to write without Googling. The code I can write in my sleep I'd rather just write without a tool like this.
I'm closer to retirement age than the beginning of my career. Some of my age peer friends are already retired, and many of them could be if they wanted to. It's not even on the radar for me. I'm a bit envious, as I'd love the freedom to be done for life, and to be able to take or leave work as I please.

The flipside is that I've taken a lot of time off along the way. I've taken whole years off between many jobs, I've traveled a lot, and I've spent a lot of time just doing nothing. I have some minor regrets about not making better use of my time between jobs, but I don't have regrets about taking the time off. I would have gone insane if I had worked nonstop for 20-30 years, only taking a couple weeks of vacation a year.

If I were really passionate about the work--especially if I'd launched my own business--I might not have felt burnt out or wanted time off. But I never wanted to bust my ass just for the sake of working hard, or for some nebulous future goal (although that future is now my present). If health or something else prevents me from enjoying life as much in the future, at least I've got memories of the past.
I agree with the efficiency sentiment. Nothing worse than waiting on a waiter for what feels like hours at a restaurant when the chef could just be preparing my meal.

I would also be okay with an NFC approach or both NFC / QR code approach, NFC stickers are cheap and can do similar to QR codes.
Me too. I've been actively working to do the opposite. To build my outside of work life, give it priority and give myself the permission to have it be the main focus of life and stop running from the bear all the time.
What does "public" mean? Do you mean "public domain", or something else?
Maybe using cert-manager & ingress-nginx to front the service with SSL. Then your ingress-nginx will front your ruby app and decorate it with ssl. Please note, and I am embarrassed it took me so long to figure out - there are two nginx ingress projects - "nginx-ingress" and "ingress-nginx"! I would strongly recommend using the k8s official one, which is ingress-nginx. See: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-...

This will help you learn the ingress pattern. After that, I would suggest exploring ways to tack a sidecar on (log aggregator, etc) - my impression is you are just looking for things to learn, I wouldn't normally suggest doing this just to do it.

Alternatively, you could try exploring putting grafana/prometheus in, though this can be a big bite for someone learning, so I would recommend learning/comprehending sidecars/ingress, etc as they are some of the building blocks for k8s.

Edit: I see there's another comment for traefik for ingress - that's fine too, it's the concept that matters, not your particular choice. If you have a lot of trouble implementing one, try the other one, things you learn in your journey will help quite a bit.
Maybe programmers will adopt a similar model to artists and musicians. Do a lot of work for free/practically nothing hoping that some day you can make it "big" and land a full time role.
> They should cater to those people as opposed to other people for whom bite-sized learning works better?

I didn't say that. The claim was made that learning in this method is incompatible with taking a college level course. I was demonstrating how that attitude is both blatantly false and exclusionary.

> When did we become a society that expects everyone else to cater to our specific needs?

The value of accessibility and inclusivity in education has long been recognized. Why does online learning get a pass from considering this?

Edit: There is no problem with one person saying "I learn better this way" and someone else saying ”I learn better this other way". The problem is when people say "the way you learn is inferior and not suited to college level material" because that is exclusionary.

FTA: "...2U will transfer $800 million to a nonprofit organization..."

While that org is led by Harvard and MIT, the institutions are not getting the money. Which begs the question - why didn't the edX organization just sell off the IP to 2U? would have been much cleaner.
I worked hard in my 20's with nothing to show for it. Not born into connections or money. I know almost nobody that has a degree. Spent years on my own startup with my ex-ceo being a code monkey for him whos richer and more connected than me. Poof, 4 years of income and work gone. Now I can't even find a job. How exactly, am I supposed to "work hard"? It is a complete meme. Also funny he uses Gates as an example, a man born into wealth.

I tried working hard and wasted 100% of every day of my 20's. No memories formed, no money made, just "working hard".

Here's how you work hard: grow up in a stable life with money and connections and win the mental health lottery.

>I’m sure a small number of people like that exist but it’s not really worth carving out complex exceptions to vaccination rules (specifying which kind of antibody tests administered by who and when, etc.) to accommodate their preferences.

You might as well be saying this about accessibility rules for disabled people.
All of what you said is a fair point, and for that, you get an upvote from me.

However, if we were to think of racism as a natural psychological occurrence, that doesn't eliminate the moral part. After all, the desire that men have to spread their seed is also a natural psychological occurrence, but we also consider it a moral imperative that they don't do that without consent from females.

But apart from that, even if it's a natural psychological occurrence, saying "all whites are racist" _also_ implies that whites cannot overcome that, which is the opposite of the fact that we all agree that men can overcome their desire to spread their seed.

And once again IMO, to imply that an entire race cannot overcome what we would consider a "moral deficiency" is racist. In fact, that's the same thing that a lot of whites believed about blacks back in the day, that black men could not overcome the desire to spread their seed and thus, needed to be controlled, an entirely wrong view, of course.

And for the same reasons, "all whites are racist" is racist and wrong.
Somehow I don't see people discuss this kind of tools from the perspective of managing essential complexity versus accidental complexity. Maybe copilot just increases the abstraction level of coding, so we can treat generated code as a building block, just like we nowadays rarely needs to care about how to write assembly code or how a balanced tree works?
