> ROCm from AMD has its restrictions, but... it really is easier to program than OpenCL

That really not the point. OpenCL is a standard that - at least in principle - is supposed to be supported on multiple platforms by multiple vendors. ROCm is AMD-only, and even that is questionable since it didn't exist 6 or 7 years ago, and who knows - they might drop it like they changed their earlier focus.

Also, CUDA has a much richer ecosystem than AMD ROCm (I'm sad to say; as I'm not a fan of NVIDIA).

If your head was in a vice and your eyeballs were superglued into the straight-ahead position you might have more trouble.
But you have no ability to be in a position to judge whether one vaccine is better than another if you don't understand the science behind them.

I'd recommend doing what your doctor says, if you have one. If not you might want to consider speaking with one about vaccine safety and the safety and risks of things like ibuprofen or cough medicine.
I wonder if other heavy metals can also make a higher octane fuel.

How about tetraethil uranium? That sounds like a very high-energy fuel. ;-)
As a person reading HN, here's what you can do:

Don't have kids. Don't eat meat. Don't fly in planes. Don't drive a car. Don't buy stuff you don't need. Live in small dense housing. Take political action.

Whether you choose to do them or rationalize a way to not do them doesn't matter that much. But at least you can say you tried. For whatever that's worth.
The moon appears white/grey. Traffic lights are red, green, or yellow. Seems easy enough to make a distinction. Additionally the relative size of the moon in the sky does not change.
> Until then, they can be selfish

Disclaimer: I'm fully vaccinated.

I know a three people who are not vaccinated. In all three cases, it's because they are afraid, not because they are selfish.

One reads conspiracy websites and believes mRNA vaccines are a death sentence. Another one was influenced by the former and now doubts they are safe. The last one, independently of the previous, is concerned about the long-term effects the vaccines might have.

I have talked with all of them and tried to reassure them of the safety of the vaccines, to no avail so far.

I was able to convince a fourth to get vaccinated, but again this person was simply afraid, not selfish. If you hope to change their minds, it may be better to address their fears.
"...redirect the industrial prison system at a new target!"

Absolutely. A target that deserves it.

Short prison sentences for white collar crime, rather than easy to pay fines, would change the landscape
> we at least pretended that people mean what they say, rather than preemptively give them a pass on their hypocrisy

This is a false dichotomy. Why do either? The alternative is not pretend that people mean what they say and not give them a pass on their hypocrisy.
I took the introductory fluids course at my university but eventually gave up as I could never figure out the right approximations to take and I couldn’t build the intuition. It didn’t help that I was paired with a guy I didn’t like for homework.

Some of my friends did like it though (one got to explain how he spent his summer in the maths department learning about fingering.)

After I graduated, I returned to visit some friends doing master’s degrees and it was only at this point that I learned there was a moderately large laboratory under the maths department doing real physical experiments with actual fluids.
You can distrust a car dealer and society will applaud you for doing what's right. If you say you're losing trust in something like an emergency use vaccination, then society will say you're a death cultist.

Nobody is proposing them that I know of, nor was I suggesting anyone was. I'm suggesting that people should have the option but not the requirement to provide vaccination status and those who don't wish to provide their vaccination status should WFH indefinitely. Note, Google has only extended their WFH guidelines until Oct. 18th. To me it sounds like they're trying to get most employees back into the office by the end of the year whether they want to or not.

It saddens me to see that all the top comments on these posts are just some empty populist yelling, variations on "good, after all, there's a war going on". And counterpoints end up being strawmen about vaccines not working anyway. Whatever your end conclusion about whether this is a good move, it's a complex issue that balances a lot of things and is worthy of serious discussion. Instead we get basically an online newspaper comments section filled with shallow or nonexistent points. It's like covid turns everyone toward the lowest forms of debate. HN probably had the most sensible discussions of any site on the internet, so if this is happening here, I can only guess how others are discussing it.

I do wonder if tech people are more prone to seeing things in black and white and advocating technological "fixes" over societal compromises, but that's just my speculation.

Oscar Wilde took it that way as well, if you value his opinion.
> Having long term side effects doesn't round to zero, even for young healthy people. And vaccine side effects do.

I'm hesitant to just accept this as a fact. Vaccinations can cause very strong immune reactions in young adults that would otherwise likely suffer mild or asymptomatic infections. There are many surveys that query for a basket of sometimes unspecific symptoms such as "fatigue" or "brain fog" as a follow-up of a COVID infection. I'm missing that volume of surveys in the follow-up for vaccinations.
> can't possibly be related to your IPv6 address.

Many IPv6 addresses could be mapped to a single IPv4 gateway address, causing the trigger.
From your cdc link, it looks like less than 10k people have died in the under 40 age bracket. Am I looking at the right data?

> He mentions that the megacorps that have come to dominate open source use their influence to give the worst licenses the highest profile.

That's certainly true, but that's not a good reason to declare bankruptcy and throw away the whole movement.

> Starting a new movement with a new license could be a way to escape the current dynamics.

A new movement seems more likely to end up worse, by not maintaining compatibility with the definition of Open Source; that definition exists for a reason, and its requirements don't just facilitate participation by megacorps, they facilitate participation by everyone. Just about every new license proposal I've seen has failed to actually be an Open Source license. "Hey, as long as we're changing the requirements, let's just go full 'non-commercial use only'", or "Hey, as long as we're changing the requirements, let's try to define ethics in a legal document". All the same mistakes over again that people had to fight to reject the first time around.

We don't need a new movement. We might need an improved license that's still Open Source, and a better marketing plan around that license.
The F-117 was shot down in Yugoslavia. China acquired quite a few parts from it, ran into difficulties getting them out of the country, and stored them temporarily at the embassy in Belgrade as their base of operations. Chinese papers have published that part. The US denies the bombing was on purpose, but admitted in a Congressional hearing that it was the only bombing in the campaign directed by the CIA. The "wrong map" reasoning seems a little thin at that point.
> Android OEM head units started appearing in 2012: https://www.androidauthority.com/android-powered-oem-car-ste...

Yes, but these were Android tablets fitted into head units. Not Androind Auto - a UI specifically designed to be used while driving which would make the Android OS liable for legal issues.

> It's really just my opinion that Apple wouldn't go out of their way to port software to a different platform with no PR-friendly purpose.

They don't need to. The ask in this comment thread was to have the CarPlay UI on the phone itself - the phone being an iPhone.
Unfortunately the thing I enjoy and the thing people pay me to do are radically different
Well, yes and no. Neither AMD nor NVIDIA are committed to open, libre, standards - they've both been "betraying" OpenCL (just like Apple and Intel, I should mention). So we have AMD's not-open (?) ROCm and NVIDIA's not-open CUDA.

Also, if we only cared about open standard we'd simply not use a GPU at all and settle RISC-V chips :-)
No idea if they still do but Slashdot used this back in the day. You were given karma points occasionally to pass out and you'd have to select what you were rewarding/punishing.
I occasionally have leg cramps while swimming- I never felt I was in danger though. Is it really that dangerous? I'm talking about painful cramps where I really can't use the leg that's cramping before a few minutes go by. Generally what I do is swear the air purple (it really bloody hurts) and try to keep the cramping leg extended (it's normally the muscle in the back of my tibia that cramps and it wants to draw my heel back, so I push the other way until it gives up). I thrash a lot and go under the water for sure, but I can still swimm with the remaining limbs. I don't know what I'd do if both legs cramped at the same time, but one leg so far I've been able to handle.

Edit: now that I think of it, I've had both legs cramp, except not at the same time- a few minutes apart. I was getting used to very long flippers (fins?) and I got two cramps a few minutes apart, one in each leg.
It has not been tried for crimes of this sort.
The AAP says: "infants younger than 1 year are developmentally unable to learn the complex movements, such as breathing, necessary to swim. They may manifest reflexive swimming movement under the water but cannot effectively raise their heads to breathe. There is no evidence to suggest that infant swimming programs for those younger than 1 year are beneficial."

The evidence for swimming lessons before 1 year is discussed in this article: https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/summer-is-here-and-infant-s...
Your comment is disheartening. Pretending there are absolutely zero side-effects to vaccines (or any medical practices) is anti-science

Not all the time. I've seen reddish/orangeish moons, especially if it's something near the horizon near sunset or sunrise. It's also reddish during lunar eclipses.

The point is not that 0 must be easily identifiable, but also O: If you see a O without 0 as a comparison, can you identify it as such ?

In every monospaced font I know, there is a way to identify 0 (the dot or the slash), but not O which could be easily mistaken for a 0.

50 years ago was 1970. We had solar power, nuclear energy, wind energy, and plastics.

The energy landscape today looks exactly the same as it did in 1970. The only difference is renewables are significantly cheaper and batteries significantly better. Fusion looks to be just as close today as it looked to be in the 1970s.
Thank you for your support and extremely happy you are also building a SaaS.

Definitively, there are several ways to build a SaaS product and I also think Cloudflare Workers, FaunaDB, Auth0, Paddle, etc. is a good stack.

One good thing to use AWS, everything is centralized. Another good thing is you can use Infrastructure as code. As a developer, you can provision everything with code (TypeScript), no need to click and remember user interface.

A lot of programming languages are also very different. In addition to standard languages like Java, Javascript, and Python, I've also done work with Erlang, Prolog, and XSLT. Those require very different mental models from a typical procedural mindset.

At the same time, learning even very radically different programming languages isn't really that big of a deal. It takes a few months at most to get reasonably productive.

Even still, it's nice to know that some of the investment in technical knowledge has paid off. I'm not just thinking of programming languages either, but platforms, protocols, frameworks, architectures, etc. Here are some examples of technical knowledge that I think is wise to invest in and can be useful for many years:

- Unix (command line and systems programming)

- Relational databases/SQL

- Internet application and network architecture

- the actor model for concurrency

- MVC

- text editors like Emacs and Vi

- discrete mathematics

- distributed version control

- UML (specifically sequence diagrams)

- tools for creating visualizations from text (graphviz, plantUML, etc.)

These are things that I have been able to take from job to job, and have been useful regardless of the programming language, framework, or platform we are using.

OTOH, if your lead gets dispersed on a field of lettuces or a pasture, it’s safe to assume a lot of it will end up inside humans.
What? There’s so much magic in Elixir and it’s ecosystem. Controllers in Phoenix, various handle_info overloads and requires implementations, misspelled atoms, pattern matching and mismatches with names structs, the implicit return… there’s so many footguns to fire at yourself.
I agree with all the points about context switching and managing the right schedule, but I'm getting slightly exhausted with this divide between "managers" and "makers". It feels like managers are indirectly getting demonized as some bloated overhead.

I'd like to see an org function long term with no managers - I'll bet good money it can't be done.

If the argument is that clients don't care (the comment I was replying to) then why would it matter to them that their develoeprs struggle with things that aren't React-flavored? Especially in 2021, when you can build just about anything on the web and stay within the React ecosystem.

The person who convinced me was Fauci himself. I can assure you, I am quite capable of listening and understanding not only words, but context, inflection, and attitude conveyed by people speaking English, especially Americans. Not sure why you care this much about the topic if you are outside the US to write a book here in the comments section trying to convince someone like me that black is really white…but suffice to say—-I feel Fauci lied because Fauci said he lied. Perhaps you need him to say “I lied” to understand this, but I am capable of understanding how a lie can exist without a literal acknowledgment from the liar saying that they are lying. Have a good day.

Given the contractions that exist not only in time, but across countries etc at any given moment, I simply propose that the only sensible solution is to allow individuals to evaluate their risks for themselves and take actions accordingly.

Your advice at the end will be seen as rational by some, over caution by others and for some still not enough.

There are no direct health risks. What hits you in old age is not programming but bad habits - bad posture when sitting, too much sitting and not enough physical activity and excercising, and others. Those are possible to offset or fix. Comparing to manufacturing where you have same or similar bad habits as well as direct health risks of something or somebody accidently hurting you. Programming therefore can be considered to be without health risks.
I think generally there was an expectation that you'll be safer in the sticks. But I talked to a respected epidemiologist early on and they said they had high confidence that rural rates per 100k people would reach the same as urban, just weeks later. This did in fact play out that way when I look back at the published rates for where I live and compare it with the city two hours away. Was about a five or six week lag until we reached similar case rates per 100k.

Sure, if you already have the IP addresses then it's an appreciating asset. (Compare with Bitcoin.)

Psychosis is not always like that. You can have an episode and then retrospectively, like days or weeks after the delusion, realize it was not "real" (tm). An example is people on the bipolar spectrum but this can also happen if you are on the autism spectrum and had an overstimulation episode or some other kind of break.
In my experience these 'evil' things are rather common practice. People do far more nasty stuff to get ahead, all the time. Programmers are no exception.

I know what you mean. Tangentially, I also liked the experience of gaming (FPS) more when you would choose a server from a list, which was hosted by some person or group other than the game company, and you played with whoever else happened to join, from outright beginner to expert. Often on community-created and self published maps that wouldn't meet the quality standards of a game company, but could be much more varied and novel. The players would be a mix of one-time visitors and some regulars who you could expect would be on every night or a few nights a week. One such server in TF2 was like the bar from Cheers to me for a couple years in my late teens. The modern experience of matchmaking is simpler to jump into, less intimidating, but it's empty and lifeless. Like candy vs. a meal.

Anyway, back on the social media thing, I fear there is no reason for it to change. Success, for a recommendation algorithm, will always be defined as what keeps you on the site, scrolling and clicking. Success for a person, we can be fairly sure, is not that. So we will always be fighting the algorithms to try to keep our own "engagement" at the level that is good for us, not good for them.
It would be better if we could move away from a car per person transportation system to something more energy efficient.
