Right, that's what experts were warning, while I saw multiple people in the relevant locales holding the idea I mentioned. Was this something you didn't see in your immediate area? It would be interesting to see if there was wide regional variation on whether people felt "it won't be as bad here".
Perhaps small towns are not the best use case. It certainly is possible to buy things without fiat using it, though.
A trap that I've been caught in repeatedly over the years is the 10AM, 3PM daily standing meeting pattern, which is almost uniquely capable of preventing any actual work from being done.

It often manifests as an Agile/Scrum standup at 10AM that balloons into an hour-long status meeting. This effect worsens as people start to treat that meeting as the beginning of the work-day, and increasingly show up later, and more unprepared.

Then, after that meeting completes, there is a brief flurry to handle any follow-ups generated by the morning meetings, and then it is lunch time.

People drag back in from lunch, and maybe handle some responses from their pre-lunch follow-ups, and then it is time for the standing afternoon meeting. Usually this just recapitulates everything that was discussed in the morning, since no one has had any time to actually do anything. By the time it finally wraps up at 4:30 PM, everyone's brains have utterly dissolved, and they go home.

And then it starts again.
When recruiters proliferate your data across companies
Earlier I was angry with recruiters sending my information to their clients without concent, and also informing the employers if an employee had floated the CV. My experience has been that recruiter use the policy of spray and pray and appeasement with their clients. But recently I have also started realising that recruiters take information of candidates along with them when they change agencies. This creates a lot of problems.

How do you all handle these types of situations?
Authorize.net Is Down

it's pathetic to watch really, I imagine majority of the commenters here are wearing che guevara t-shirts.
I agree with you but humans are selfish and destructive. It is always down-voted but the only true solution is less humans. Of course, we could change but history has shown we have no desire to do so and worse, are accelerating our greediness. The thing is that the earth has started to change based on our over-consumption. One way or the other, there will be a lot less humans on this planet in some hundreds of years from now.
That's how the original "unhackable" Xbox was broken. The encrypted firmware was decrypted by hardware in the south-bridge but sent unencrypted to the RAM via the open hyper transport bus. So someone hooked a fast logic analyzer to the bus and read the firmware during boot.

Sadly it did take them a long time to get up to the higher ranges. I think they wanted to wait for the new rev to come out on the typical 7 year cycle and out their efforts into that model rather than extensively improve the (ugly) first version.
I can get a source in a bit. IIRC it was the spike protein that causes some (still unknown) response from the human body. The mRNA vaccine elicit a response from the immune system to reproduce the spike protein.

> Because the liability has been centralized in a fund that will pay you damages: the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

Actually, the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP is broadly similar to VICP, but instead of general recommended routine vaccines, covers recommended pandemic/epidemic/etc. diagnostic, treatment, and prevention measures, inclusing vaccines not covered by VICP.)

It’s not a question of if a report really is a dupe. This is going to happen constantly, proportionally to participation. The assertion is that secondary reports can have measurable value. Automatically paying dupes is untenable, but it seems like triage should handle dupes containing new information differently. If a vulnerability is sitting as a low priority and a dupe of the underlying vulnerability contains new information about the severity that gets it prioritized, it must have value.
I imagine folks are taking issue with calling anti-vaxxers a scapegoat when in reality the anti-vaxx ideology is the main driver of hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19 in the USA today.
On my phone (iOS 14.6), the Wifi and BT say "New Wi-Fi network connections have been turned off from Control Center" after long press. But that _seems_ to be the same message as if I do the "until tomorrow" way.

And the actual Wi-Fi and Bluetooth sliders are decidedly in the ON position. I must've concluded that since it didn't do the "until tomorrow" message then it behaved as I wanted.

I stand corrected.
All frontend is in "export" mode, made in static. So, no dynamic server needed to run the frontend, 100% compatible with any static hosting like Cloudflare page.

For the backend, it uses AWS lambda with API gateway and protected by AWS Cognito for private route.
Yes, it's bad.

Which is why the most appropriate solution for those who hold themselves above the system due to their wealth and influence is to stick them directly in the worst parts of it and force them to experience it for years.
Which is kind of interesting in this regard. Brazil converted a large portion of its passenger car fleet to ethanol and it seemed a better overall fuel, to the point some sportier models had only ethanol versions.

Wouldn’t ethanol be an adequate substitute for avgas with property adapted engines?

Hahahahahaha.

This is exactly what reddit told its users to do (only downvote due to one of these reasons) - and exactly nobody does it.

People will figure out to downvote for whatever "reason" that maximizes the impact of the downvote real fast; groups of people will make sure to weaponize it too even without coordination.

E.g.: "the comment I hate doesn't have enough 'inaccurate' downvotes to sink into the abyss, so I'll do my job and add one".

The only reason why things are downvoted is "I don't like what I feel when I read it", which most of the time is "I disagree with what this says" or "I hate people who say things like that" (the latter more commonly).

You want people to dislike things for the "right" reasons — but the only way to do this is to filter the people, not the content.

So the code looks (apart from pointers) similiar to numba which feels much closer to numpy/pytorch high level code. Are there huge advantages in the triton model compared to numba that I don't see? Or is there a big performance gap?
For me numba was always the easiest way to get some new idea running on cuda, and most of the time it was fast enough..

Did anybody find performance comparison between numba and triton?

[Comprehensive data that challenges my beliefs]

But this hasn't been peer reviewed!
Yep, FP is really nice. A lot of what people think is going to be different is actually not that different from OO. Elixir especially ends up looking a lot like OO with its pipe operator ("string" |> String.split() vs "string".split(), for eg). Some of the major wins are immutability (which is actually very easy to grasp and a lot of people write in an immutable style in OO) and the fact you can every functions dependencies right there. The latter is actually huge for me as I always hated jumping around files, trying to see where things are coming from. FP minimizes this. There are lots of other niceties (some language-specific) but those are some of my faves.

Sometimes things take a little longer to write as you have to be slightly more verbose, but it's so much quicker to understand when coming back to it.
I'm very into that (because I spend a great deal of time studying neo-nazi conspiracy theorists and similar people).

I think platform operators to some extent have to eschew moral judgements and let things play out, eg if a variety of distinct and persistent clusters emerge naturally, and 98% of people in a community make nazis' lives miserable for being in the 'nazi cluster' then it doesn't need any additional help from the platform operator. Of course the nazis will whine 'so much for the tolerant left' but honestly, who cares. The key is that if enough people in a community tag individuals participants in a particular negative way, those individuals can either accept it (and then be habitually ignored) or change their ways.

This isn't always a moralistic dichotomy. For example I post a lot of environmental stories to HN, which are not-interesting to some readers who prefer to focus on pure technology. I'm OK with them ignoring such posts or even downvoting them/flagging if I make too many in a row. Likewise there are many technical topics of wide interest on HN which I find deathly boring, but which I am happy to ignore.

We can go further: the issue is industrial, mechanical, chemical laden agriculture. Agroforestry or simply traditional agriculture with lots of hedges, trees, small plots, etc maintained living ecosystems for millenia in our countryside.
I think this is a pretty clear example of what you might call "science laundering", where people put their political views into the form of a journal article to try and prevent debate. There's some reasonable stuff in here, but broad social agendas like "switching to mostly plant-based diets" or "stabilizing and gradually reducing the population" can't be decided based solely on their climate impacts.
> However, there is an unquantifiable downside risk as a result of lack of knowledge.

ok... but then you (not you specifically) have to weigh that against the known and real risk of COVID-19. Hundreds of thousands dead, "long COVID", etc. versus an unknown and un-hypothesized risk with unknown bad outcomes.

Like articulate a possible future bad outcome that is realistic due to these vaccines. Can you (or anyone) do that? Like do you think in 20 years people will start wilting away b/c the took the COVID-19 vaccine?

> Well, we have been defending successfully against that risk for about 18 months.

I... wouldn't call our response to COVID-19 all that successful. How many in the US and UK alone have died? a million?

> I was just a bit surprised because you seemed to be suggesting that vaccine skepticism was a new phenomenon.

I'm specifically suggesting that there are loads of new "vaccine skeptics" that are only vaccine skeptics starting in 2020 because they've received enough politicization and disinformation to do so. They weren't skeptics when they were getting annual flu shots or shots for measles or w/e and had no issue with vaccines or the scientific community before.
New IUCN Green Status Launched to Help Species ‘Thrive, Not Just Survive’
There's almost zero information is this article, except that the "Australian Minister for Indigenous Affairs Ken Wyatt, who is Aboriginal... added that it appeared to be a "genuine mistake"".

Did Rio Tinto just not know the caves were there? Who was supposed to be responsible for them knowing -- was it their responsibility or that of the government? Did they know caves existed but not know they had historical significance? Were they following standard safety protocols and had no intention of damaging the cave, but there were unseen side effects of earth shifting or something?

Articles like this infuriate me because they invite us to assign knee-jerk blame, but then don't actually give any of the information needed to make that assessment.

And if this happened a year ago, surely there's a more recent more informative article that could have been submitted instead? I'm not sure what the point of submitting this particular article is -- there aren't any actionable details here on what perhaps needs to change in going forwards to prevent this type of thing from happening again.

You got downvoted for this which I find ironic. Imo, sharing an opinion also shouldn't equate downvote. Adding a comment that contributes nothing to a discussion on the other hand, maybe something like "I agree with that." with nothing more added of substance, should equate a downvote since that sort of post doesn't further discussion, the thread ends there.

In my day to day work I don't write many GenServers either and I think that's a good thing. Like any tool, they can be overused and abused. It is best to stick to modules and pure functions until you really need to pull the stateful lever.

To that point, GenServers as an abstraction are super powerful and when applicable, are an amazing tool. For example, being able to control the initialization of a supervision trees using :ignore in the init callback can be handy to run DB migrations as part of the application startup. Or when used in combination with a registry it can be useful to hold on to user data in a GenServer and access it atomically across your cluster.
Welcome to Gawker
It depends - I don't think there is an true answer to this question.

I've worked both in early stage startups and in companies that are established and are still using their original startup code base. I've seen some terrible design decisions coupled with quality code that survived 15 years because the company had amazing market fit. It cost the developers a lot of extra time to work around the poor design decision, but the company was profitable enough to make up for the dev cost. That's the most common situation I've seen.
The best codebase I've ever worked with was beautiful because the company had long lead time on sales(avg deal took 12 months) so the developers had time to refactor as needed. This company is still alive, so I consider them a success!

The other factor in code quality + business success is team size. With a big team and poor quality code, it spirals down much faster, each new bug/feature gets harder and slower to implement. If its bad code but its always the same 2 developers, they will be consistent enough in their own styles that the code base will not degrade nearly as fast.

I think you have your answer right there for the contradictions. Though I think the CDC should be more open and honest about how they reach their advice.

> Are we going live in fear forever? Wearing masks, social distancing or whatever else they want us to do?

The vaccine has made me significantly less fearful and social distancing is not required when vaccinated. Wearing a mask indoors is only required while transmission levels are high and is only a minor inconvenience. You wouldn't tell me I'm living in fear of the rain for carrying an umbrella during wet season.
I couldn't disagree more. There are clear links between gaming violence and far right terrorism: all of the white incel mass shooters have been avid gamers. These games are practically training camps for right wing terrorists.

I think you should only have a set amount of upvotes and downvotes per day. Or have a mod point structure similar to Slashdot. That way it prevents commenting to just get karma, and it allows for people to properly respond in a way that they'd like to without having fear of a downvote brigade. The people who can moderate then at that point will mod appropriately if it is even worthwhile of attention. So, is a troll even worth your time to give mod points over? Or someone who just isn't thinking right but can have a legitimate discussion?

That way it deters someone from just being really scummy and downvoting all your posts, thus bringing your karma down even though what they were mad at had nothing to do with those other posts. Also, voting for karma to be locked after x amount of days/months.
Wordpress.com is good for most people, in the west at least, considering I don't know about their RTL support.

However, my problems with them is that sometimes, embedding something will not work, and if they don't have their own embed for that link, you can't do anything, as any embed will need javascript, and you don't have it unless you are on an expensive business plan (expensive for a personal blog).

That's actually the only true reason why I use Hugo + Cloudflare Pages instead of wordpress.com.
Not a popular opinion, but I have a lot of faith in humanity's _future_ engineering ability. Yes, we are dealing with climate consequences right now. And yes, we should be trying to improve resource efficiency right now. But that said, the worst is almost certainly yet to come, and it is exceedingly difficult to solve the problems of tomorrow with the technology today.

A little anecdote to illustrate this is that at the turn of the last century the streets of New York City were projected to be buried under 10 feet of horse shit. No joke. Was that a silly scenario to consider? Not really. But it turned out to be completely resolved by unforeseen technological improvements that made the entire conjecture nonsensical.

Just spit-balling, but let's say we crack fusion technology in the next 50 years and unlock effectively limitless energy. With free power maybe we run massive atmospheric scrubbers and bury CO2 and methane in the earth. I'm sure there are other climate control techniques that unlimited power unlocks.

My point is this: think back at any point in the last 500 years and try to imagine them solving the problems of 100 years into the future. It's a laughable thought experiment. Their solutions would have been ludicrous given the technology that future generations develop. What hubris it takes to not realize that we are _at least_ as primitive in relation to future generations.
I started reading and thinking that 50 is old, and then I realized that I'll be turning 41 soon enough. So, yeah.
If you are vaccinated you can still get and spread it. This was said by Fauci yesterday and prompted the renewed indoor mask guidance. And unvaccinated can to of course. With likely more severe symptoms they may be at home though.

You should benefit from less severity of illness. Why does others status matter to you given both can spread?
