Vaccination is too slow anyway. You need to vaccinate the entire world at once otherwise the reservoirs outside of the first world will keep the variant roulette spinning and more dangerous variants will nullify the first generation of vaccines and we'll back to where we started. Just today here on HN was a post about gamma variant escaping fully-vaccinated with Pfizer. And this is not even considering that we're about to see immunization protection starting to expire for some people - I doubt it's for life unless you're constantly exposed to the virus, which probably makes sense to stop wearing a mask... unless getting multiple infections to relaunch the antibodies is not doing unforeseen damage.
Strong agree. Luckily you can just stop reading at the end of part 1 and it’s still a very satisfying book.
TL;DR: give syncthing a try. first time setup is odd, then bam, your files magically sync anywhere with internet.

I carried around my 1GB Data Traveler flash drive with great conviction. Then, a massive 4G SanDisk drive I would 'never fill up'.

Then, when my 16GB Nexus 4 filled up, one day while I was MTPing my old pictures to my computer, someone told me about Dropbox and how it would sync my pictures for me. After living out of Dropbox for all my non-cold-storage files...I hit the free limit. But I was a student and didn't have money to pay per month.

Skydrive gave me 25 GB. And 3 successive phones ate that like candy. So start paying up Mister. ugh.

But then, Syncthing came along here on HN. I installed it onto my phone and pc for camera download. then another, and another, and a separate folder for sharing files with a colleague, then my work SAN got laggy and lost files, so syncthing to keep my work files local and synced between work devices to the rescue.

And now, I don't pay for storage. or I do, but it just happens to come with word 365, but I don't bother using it.

And the flash drives? I'm up to a 256GB Sandisk Pro of some kind, but only for 'just in case' scenarios. Syncthing handles all of my LAN files access needs.
I solved the problem when I went to facebook and deleted all groups (except two - both related to family events: I personally know in the real world everyone in both groups). Often when I check facebook now it has no idea what to show me as I've seen everything, and it has to revert to showing me pictures of classmates I haven't interacted with in years - which is what I'm on Facebook for in the first place! Even then it runs out of things to show me fast.
> The chocolate bar doesn't start a violent fire if pierced. If it would we could power our laptops with chocolate :)

Neither does a NiMH battery. There's no link between vulnerability to external damage and ability to power a laptop.

In fact, there's no fundamental reason why we couldn't run our laptop on chocolate[1], just that it's very far away from current technology.

They're talking about propagating a density matrix instead of a state vector. If you're not familiar, a density matrix is an n x n matrix where n is the number of elements in the corresponding state vector, and contains information akin to a probability distribution over state vectors.

However, actual quantum computers propagate state vectors, not density matrices, as far as I know. You'd need to run it a large number of times, or have a large ensemble of identical sets of qbits being propagated with the same algorithm to need a density matrix to describe it, I would have thought. So saying you'd need to simulate a density matrix to simulate a quantum computer confuses me.

I know quantum physics but not quantum computing specifically, so I could be wrong - the grandparent comment sounds like they know what they're talking about otherwise.
Syncthing is a great tool : I've been using it for years for backups, picture synchronization between phone and computer, and as a way to share a KeePass DB.

non-exclusive digital property does not play well with markets based on exclusive property. this is a problem in principle.

therefore I see two broad directions:

1. someone finds a way to have a market-like entity which is compatible with non-exclusive goods (like digital goods are). I am not sure what this could be... I don't think anybody is.

2. we give up the advantages of non-digital exclusivity and make every instance of digital information "unique" (say, like NFTs) and then police out whoever has copies of such unique-exclusive. in short: artificially enforced digital-exclusivity for everybody; I guess kinda like DRM.

I think there's a broad social (ideological) motion pushing along the digital-exclusivity path (number 2 above) towards a vision which somehow allows some small specialist group to keep all the advantages brought about by digital-non-exclusivity. I say this because of the way corporations act around open source ("well maybe a little bit") and free software ("ugh, icky") and because of recent trends in common views of open source.
Ask HN: Can I give less than 2 weeks notice when leaving?
First, I know that I can but should I.

In my specific situation, I want to start the new job fast but I also want a week off. Giving two weeks to my current job would also coincide with vacation I had previously planned.

If I gave 1 week notice, it would work out and everything would line up in terms of my timeline. I'm in a position where there's not a lot of handoff work and I would essentially be sitting around for two weeks doing nothing.
Yes it’s becoming an issue because over the past century the pop of China has approximately tripled and people are living in flood zones.

Historically these flood plains have been both a boon and a curse. They bring nutrient rich soil for crops to grow in but also bring potential devastation, hence the dam building since the revolution.

It’s always been an “issue”.

I’m not saying climate change isn’t a thing. It is. I just hate opportunistic misinformation where things are framed in a particular way to spook people.

This is like saying malnutrition in underdeveloped countries is becoming an issue. It’s always existed.

> You don’t have hundreds of thousands of border crossing work commuters and truck drivers who would drive through any “closed” border like e.g in the EU or between US states.

I hear this assumption a lot but actually, you do. Australia's lockdowns and quarantines aren't limited to the international borders. Victoria is currently quarantined from South Australia and New South Wales. Victoria's granularity [0] is what I'd say is approximately equivalent to US counties.

That "county" granularity isn't just theoretical. During one of the longest lockdowns, Melbourne, Victoria's capital city, was cut off from the rest of the state. Imagine cutting off LA or the Bay Area from the rest of California and that's essentially what happened.

This also happened briefly in the EU. Despite Schengen, free travel was suspended and most of the national borders were closed.

In both cases (Australian states and Schengen), cross-border commuters and freight were generally permitted to continue but were regulated.

Nah. Wasn't edited, but it was definitely a slap at me, personally. I touched a nerve, and was reprimanded. It was not a "fun" response, and it made me realize that I had caused offense.

Teh Internets tubes are a difficult landscape to navigate. It's almost impossible to write stuff without causing some offense.

Some folks take that as an admonition to never write anything fun. Others (like me) learn to apologize.

I'm fairly good at apologizing, as I need to do it so often. Each time, I learn to ameliorate my approach.

But I'll never stop posting in a humorous way.
Building Data Pipelines Using Kotlin

I love Syncthing. I've found some unconventional uses for it in syncing program settings. My fonts folder is now synced between my Mac, Windows and Linux computers and that works surprisingly well. My projects folder does a one-way archive (like rsync) for backup to my home NAS and an offsite VPS. I have a Streamdeck that I use between my Mac and Windows work machines, and I sync the settings on that so it operates the same way regardless of which machine I plug it into. I love it.
I've never done anything beyond amateur electronics, so sorry if I'm way off base here, but it at least seems intuitively plausible to me that soldering the components to the board allows them to work reliably at lower power. With a pin and socket connection, you've got to try and be at least reasonably resistant to corrosion or other sources of less-than-perfect connection.

That said, I don't know that RAM chips are the hill I want to die on, anyway. Could we get to a better place if we dispensed with the whole, "just the one big motherboard," design, and looked to the old backplane-style physical layouts? Then you could have a module that contains the CPU and RAM and suchlike all in a single package, and move other things that may not want to be quite as tightly integrated off to another package.

"you know nothing about me" You also know nothing about me, so that feeling is mutual. You don't know my story either there friend. I'm as lucky as any American who worked their asses off to be told by other entitled Americans (IE: You) that it wasn't hard work that got me to where I am.

"Lashing out" telling you the truth in an uncomfortable manner isn't lashing out... it's telling the truth. It's only lashing out if I... "touched on a sensitive areas for you". That sword cuts both ways.

I never said I controlled EVERYTHING... I already said I was lucky to be born American where even our poor people are so lucky they are in the top 1% of the world - past and present.

"I really don't have any sense of entitlement" Funny how many Americans says that while preaching from a platform of entitlement.

> Monetarism seems to have ended

Not sure where this is coming from. We're in the prime of expansive monetary policy. As you say, its old constraints have dissolved. That increases its primacy.

> Most plausible successors treat fiscal and/or tax policies as part of the monetary system

The Eurozone was pioneering in decoupling monetary policy from fiscal authority. The status quo being proven isn't exactly revolutionary.

I understand the need to frame everything in terms of generational upheaval and cycles of history. It's tempting and has been since the dawn of written history. But it's largely escapism. A monetary revolution [1] isn't cyclically required any more than Moore's law guaranteed to continue.

At this time, the most likely future appears to be central banks creating, alongside physical and digital money, cryptocurrency money on an authorized ledger. This will re-tool arcane pieces of financial plumbing, but otherwise leave the system untouched.

[1] Note that each of the recent monetary revolutions, from metal to paper to fiat, from free (i.e. de-centralised) to central banked, from national to supranational, increased the power of the state. If you're rooting for a monetary revolution, it's more likely to concentrate power than not.

I used to use Dropbox as well, but it started freaking out when I had folders with over 500,000 files in them. I started writing scripts to zip up folders first, moved some things off Dropbox, but it would just take up several CPU cores when going through everything. I tried Syncthing, and it had zero issues with the number of files I had. Everything just worked. I was amazed that the free solution was so much better than the commercial solution for which I was paying $10+ each month.
Small nit. There was internet--but very few people had access to it. (And I'm guessing, don't remember, that ZIP wasn't used much or at all on internet FTP sites and that Unix-centric formats were used instead.)
I once wrote a vital satellite maneuver orchestration software, which had to parse various files and call models. Simultaneously the scariest and proudest moment in my career, but the alternative was Fortran or C.

I see there are a lot of people knocking this. I agree it doesn't really fix root cause of the issues, but it does provide a better option than many of the existing ones.

I don't like the idea that programming is a vocational skill. Literacy and numeracy aren't. Arts and crafts skills we understand have other uses.

Programming is great for self expression, exploring new ideas, amusing people. These are great goals for kids.

If you teach a kid to program, probably they're gonna put it to use in Minecraft or Roblox, not by writing accounting software. That's good! That's no more professional software development than kids building with Legos are doing engineering.
It sounds like the confusion might be in declaration vs. initialization, which for language-supported consts of course have to happen at the same time. Retrofitting the concept into a language without native support for immutable bindings, you'd of course need some kind of setter on whatever object or similar you're using to encapsulate the binding and ensure it never does actually change.
I read this thinking what probably many think reading this, which is "wow is this the parallel to vaccine hesitancy somehow causing the delta variant to dominate" – but so far the more obvious reason for what's sadly looking to be another spike worldwide, has just been vaccine hesitancy, something that doesn't exist with chickens.
The same way you raised kids who just wanted to sit in front of a computer all day.
Are the masses on social media actually relevant? From what I can tell, it's the top 1% of the top 1% that have any relevant, "good" impact on the real world, and lots of drama and pain occur when people or companies try to reconcile their policies, views, or actions to the various mobs.

Maybe disregarding the masses entirely is the way of sanity.
It definitely depends on the place.

The last large company I worked at had specialized per-technology teams. The IOS devs would be on a team with other IOS devs. Android with Android, web with web, back end with back end. My boss was seen as unusual for just trying to get different kinds of engineer on one team, even though they'd still specialize.

I do think there's a difference between "this is a small team, so we all need to cross-train enough so that we don't have silos" and "we're a large company that never cleans up a mess, so you'll have to be able to work with the code from 7 different half-assed projects going each going back 1d20 years". There's no excuse for the latter, and I'm sorry you're in it.

That would be a perfectly fine reason! Ideally this comes out in the interview process, for example if the candidate is asked why they're leaving their previous role and says that work/life balance was an issue. As long as their needs match what you're offering, great.

The thorniest situation is the overqualified, currently unemployed candidate. That person is often not trying to make a lifestyle change, but instead looking to pick up a paycheck for a few months until something better comes along (for good reason!).
The only place I've ever heard about the TT algorithm is in news pieces attempting to explain why it took off the way it did. For years we were hearing that social media startups were DOA due to FB and IG domination.

And then BAM, TT swooped in sometime in 2018 and became huge.

I'm in the same age group as you and TT is also not of interest to me. It's possible that I just don't get it for the same reason I didn't get the concept of 'subscribe to this Youtuber'. That kind of amateur video style where you're staring into a camera from your bedroom or your car is just not for me.

Yeah, that occurred to me as well, though I don't know much about how the satellites communicate with eachother. I imagine each constellation would need its own band, but not sure how wide it needs to be? Intra-constellation communication could feasibly be done with lasers, in which case, all they may need to worry about is the Space-to-Ground leg. So maybe it's not too bad? I don't really know, but certainly interested in learning more...
Philosophy used to be the study of most things, including what cannot be understood. Nowadays philosophy is mostly musing about consciousness and science is about splitting things. There might be a benefit to reasoning that relies on a faith in something more we cannot fully comprehend, such as that arrived at by sitting meditation with focus on breath. Getting thinking mind out of the way of “natural mind” may not cure asthma, but it may allow our bodies to do what they do naturally to become healthier…and the mind may benefit as well during the process by allowing thoughts to settle and be noted for what they are.
There’s a difference between socialising where you can say something dumb, and your friends will say “that was dumb haha” and everyone will move on with their lives, and socialising where you can say something dumb, someone posts it on social media, and the next day everyone at school is talking about what you did.

Ubiquitous socialising can be good but it cuts both ways, especially in an environment where you have no plausible deniability. In my opinion, people should be free to have their own thoughts, potentially get blasted for them, and move on with their lives the next day with minimal consequences. Certainly there should be no consequences coming from people that were not actually there, but just heard about it from some social media platform.
