How come nobody's buying Brawndo the Thirst Mutilator? Aw, shit. Half the country works for Brawndo. Not anymore! The stock has dropped to zero and the computer did that auto-layoff thing to everybody. We're all unemployed!
I got misled by parent. I knew that Biontech had received EU approval in December but from parents comment understood that in the US the approval came shortly after the elections. Sorry.

Still: don't you think the argument holds: US FDA is one of the first to approve is a sign that there can't be much delay.
Hatters used mercury, not lead.
As well as SNI which is mentioned in an existing thread, it's possible you were seeing OCSP the Online Certificate Status Protocol. This is particularly likely if the packet was going to a completely different server.

OCSP is a plaintext (the answers are actually signed but they aren't encrypted) protocol to assure your client that the certificate it's looking at hasn't been revoked.

The correct fix for privacy is that OCSP Stapling should be used. Instead of clients fetching OCSP answers and thereby revealing who they're talking to, the server should pre-emptively fetch OCSP answers about its own certificates, and "staple" the latest good answer to its certificate, saying "Look, here's proof my certificate is still good". This stapled answer is then provided to the client, over the encrypted TLS connection, since OCSP is signed the client can trust this stapled answer and needn't fetch it themselves.

DoH servers should definitely have OCSP stapling. I'm sure the big famous ones do.
I don't think the games have shone a light on that at all, sorry. First I've heard of it.
Either. Not sure. Yes. Yes.
In order to engage the subject matter of the article, I'm going to pin down the definition of Unix as some POSIX-compatible server OS with some Unix shell running on top of it. I think this encompasses most of the worlds' server infrastructure that runs some variant of Linux. The article implies that Unix is superior to Windows because people use it for real work as opposed to just diddling about in some graphical application.
This is a massive misrepresentation. While bare-bones Unix is well designed for simple scenarios, like running a server with ethernet and disk access and static hardware and yields itself to implementing Unix-style shells with fork() and pipes, it is not enough OS for a proper desktop environment. In other cases, it is too much OS. I remember designing and writing software for an embedded voice recording system for railway dispatchers, which had things like remote ethernet configuration, writing the recordings to a FAT32-based SD card on a 60MHzish uC with 128k flash and 64k RAM. It had no OS, everything was running on the bare metal. Going back to my previous example, if one images running a single web server process in a VM container, one could just design some hypothetical architecture, that allows you to do this with all the low-level stuff is put into a small statically linked library, and the app is the OS itself.

Imagine plugging in a USB bluetooth dongle to play some music on your headphones. In response the OS needs to load some drivers, start the bluetooth service, tell the audio service to output audio to your headphones etc.
Windows can do this out of the box. Linux can be made to do this, either with a massive proprietary Android task or systemd/pulseaudio/bluez/whatever if you're in the open-source world. At this point Linux can be hardly called a Hole-Hawg.

The perceived superiority of Unix also leads to the false conclusion about Android/macOS/Desktop Linux being superior to Windows (or any other hypotethical fully fledged OS). In order to handle the massive complexity imposed by the complex scenarios, the systems themselves have to be complex as well, with varying success. I'm willing to bet, most of the code that allows me to write this comment on macOS on a HW accelerated GUI using a bluetooth keyboard is part of the Apple-monolith and has nothing to do with Unix/POSIX. The same applies to the other "Unixes" I mentioned earlier.

I believe this is true for all languages. It’s certainly true for English — there is no pause between words in natural native speech.
"What is your project? If it's possible for people to "steal" the whole thing and sell it then why do you intend to put it into the public domain?"

It is a visual programming language bundled with an IDE.

And since code is just information, anyone can copy it and claim as theirs - like with everything immaterial. Licensed or not.

I would be just concerned, if people could legally claim ownership of it, whith public domain.
Right, I was talking about the parents' point of view. There are always rougher winters until you get to the north pole I guess, but that doesn't change the local people's perception. Also, do they leave the snow on the road, like in France, or do they clear it up? I've also heard Canadians (from Quebec) complain about the rough winters in Paris, so there's that.

I don't know where you grew up in Germany nor am I familiar with the country, but the places I've visited (in Baden-Württemberg, around Schwäbisch Hall mostly) had amazing bike infrastructure, with paved paths in very good shape and several meters away from car roads, separated by grass, dirt, etc. I can see why parents would have absolutely no problem letting the kids bike around these paths. Also, drivers seemed much less crazy than around Paris.

I did give it a go at one point ages ago (5 or so years, I'm guessing?) and it worked okay, I guess.

As always with such things the problem was mainly lack of polish and a lack of extensions.

How can I use darkmode on Chromebook for HN?

This was significant because it was so last minute. It shows "no matter how far you went, you can always put your mental health first".

I think it's also significant because she's womam gymnast. Generally, they have been pushed really hard mentally. With a lot coming out in my country at least about bullying and other (non-sexual) abuse.
Mostly this was focused on pushing them to train harder, ignore pain, ignore feelings, and lose more weight.

In that context, having a female gymnast stand up and say "no I am not pushing past my limits" is a big deal. It looks like a break with the past of mental abuse. Hopefully putting gymnastics in a much healthier place.

But the way the microtubules are doing computation as described in this paper is decidedly not based on quantum phenomena, but rather a fairly simple mechanical state machine. It's not at all clear that this type of computation, even if it existed in the the brain, would raise the total processing capacity of the brain significantly. I mean, it could, but I certainly don't see that it "must".
Well, in fairness the events of the last two years have probably caused delays to many infrastructure projects.

But is there any country, that does not recognise the public domain? I could not find any.

Also wouldn't that mean, those countries could not listen to Beethoven in a legal way? So I doubt that.
Ideally debugging any issue should include an improvement of the relevant loging. Then, over time, the system can perform relevant self-checks and cross-references, and spit out a list of potential causes, while retaining detailed logs nested deeper to the right or to the bottom.

>> That's very surprising to me, because Deutsch is heavily in the Everett interpretation branch of possible quantum interpretations (pun intended).

He considers a working QC as basically an experimental confirmation of the many-worlds interpretation.

Something like: "So tell me, these amazing parallel computations - where exactly do you say that they are being computed again if not in the parallel worlds?"

There is a nice interview with him in Wired that touches this briefly:

https://www.wired.com/2007/02/the-father-of-quantum-computin...

Check his answer to:

"So what prompted you to start thinking about quantum computing?"

My take is that for him the QC started as a thought experiment to get a quantum observer to sidestep the whole wavefunction collapse by a classical observer problem.

>> That's very insightful.

Thanks.
I have encountered this.

Many people just don't appear to know how to search and filter information on the internet. I regularly get asked questions I don't know the answers to but can quickly search and refine down to either an exact answer or something useful to the questioner.

They often ask me "What did you search for?" or "How did you find that out so fast?". My guess is that most people using HN will have significantly above average search and analysis skills.

The socializing aspect you highlighted may also stem from desire to be polite. I was recently accused of committing a "pub foul" when I used my phone to search for information on a question raised at a pub lunch. Personally I prefer to know the answer so I can put the question out of my mind (I'm more introverted). To other people (more extroverted), not knowing the answer may be preferable to briefly disengaging from the conversation.
"The lead–crime hypothesis is the association between elevated blood lead levels in children and increased rates of crime, delinquency, and recidivism later in life."[1]

Basically, during the 20th Century, lead were used in a lot of products, including gasoline and paint. To shocking surprise, it turned out that this lead slowly ended up in our environment, and built up in our bodies.

The hypothesis is that because virtually the entire population got lead poisoned, we became more affected by "learning disabilities, decreased I.Q., attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and problems with impulse control", which again leads to more crime.

Lead was eventually phased out (no thanks to the companies behind the products), and this correlated with a drop in US crime-rates in the early 1990s.

Since then there's been lots of discussion on why the crime rate dropped. The removal of lead from the environment is one (an alternative, but not mutually exclusive, hypothesis is the legalized abortion and crime effect[2]).

[Personally, I've been wondering how this also affects other qualities of the people affected... Would people born before the 1970s have been more intelligent than they are currently? Could this have given us better political leadership, and better secondary and tertiary effects?]

This whole area is an absolute harrowing rabbithole. Even just DoH never mind ESNI

When you think you've got a grip on it there are leaks. pihole and cloudflared tunnel set up? Nope FF just bypasses it. Something still leaking? oh that's ipv6. Still no good? Oh DNS can bypass your port 53 firewall rule cause udp fallback. etc etc.

Oh and good luck testing it. Different results in FF/Chrome/Edge...and sometimes even variability between tests per browser. Hows that even possible with 53 FW blocked? No idea
It's worth noting that the difference between $21.64 and $35 is not all profit. I see they've left out marketing, which is generally one of the biggest expenses, and there's also inventory risk (sometimes they'll make products and be unable to sell them).

(I'm the OP)

I guess some of my dislike of Javascript leaked in. But for the most part this is about the early days of the language when its quirks were more glaring as the mitigations and improvements hadn't been discovered/created.

My personal feelings about it are more a general distaste for dynamically typed stuff. I rarely had to tangle with it professionally and cheerfully admit my ignorance of best practices!
I like C (the language) a lot, but the C runtime library is a single big minefield (the mem*() and math.h functions are actually mostly fine, but everything else is terrible. Thankfully C doesn't rely as much on its standard libary as most other languages, and in many cases it actually is better to reinvent the wheel, because it's almost impossible to come up with worse APIs than the C standard library (and before "switch to C++": most areas of the C++ stdlib are even worse, because they allow the same memory corruption issues, but hide them more cleverly, which in turn makes debugging harder).

However, that will require a 1000s of SLOC implementation of a weird class type with lots of subtle semantics, and a generally inefficient behaviour (small heap allocations).

Cases where you have soft realtime constrains like above are often interactive apps like browsers or games that do a lot of input, audio and graphics related syscalls that don't easily batch.
> This means that 22 out of 24 studies found positive associations.

To the layperson it sure looks like the lead-crime hypothesis is confirmed. Really curious to see a more in-depth follow-up on this meta-analysis.

> So many things are native apps but shouldn't be.

> A website is much more accessible, and can usually do the job.

Not sure why this is the "opposite" opinion, as I specifically wrote that most things should be web-sites. HTML+CSS.

A few things need to be (native) apps.

Nothing should be web apps, because those suck. In addition to sucking bandwidth and power.
If you can't do that, is the olympic spirit to push anyway and damage yourself? Or is the olympic spirit to be honest with yourself and the rest of the world.

> What about those who have never stepped foot on the platform yet are still hesitant? Not everybody is on Facebook.

No, but many (most?) people are. So many of "those who have never stepped foot on the platform yet are still hesitant" may well have gotten much of their hesitancy from people who are on Facebook and got much of it from there.
Good primer I'd say but what @cjfd says it's true, the emphasis is really important and can change a lot your pronunciation, focusing on that is really important.

There is a mistake in there though, gl is not always pronunced similar to the middle of the english word "million", it is only if it's followed by an i and not even in every case.

For example in inglese, sigla, gloria, etc the gl is pronounced like in english.
Instead in figli, raccogliere, etc the gl is pronounced similar to the middle of the word "million" because there is an i after it.
But there are are exceptions like geroglifico, glissare, glicemia, ganglio, etc, in those gl is pronounced like in english even if there is an i after gl.

I think TikTok currently had the best livestreaming discovery but you have to build up 1000 followers before you're able to livestream.

"One we're working on is what we're calling Orange Card. We hope to turn every team member's ID into a charge card. The card will only activate after someone badges in for the day and will only work to purchase food at restaurants that are within a 10-minute walk from the office with pre-tax dollars."

Sooo, you get a slight discount on your lunch if you come into work, and you have to do it in a certain predefined radius. This is definitely the kind of plan a middle manager with not much to do during the day would come up with.
Same here - went into the shop for the first time in a few years about 3 years ago, and was shocked to see two rows of "self-help"-type books. Amazing. It seems many people have outsourced our friends and familial support structures to random writers.
Unless it deliberately doesn't need a name (e.g. DoH servers like 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8) TLS servers have no reason to respond to connections that don't specify a name with anything other than confused dismay. "Um, who are you calling?".

It's a misfeature of some common web server software that you get a "default" web site as if this was still 1998 and your web browser might not know about HTTP 1.1 yet. The specification doesn't suggest doing this as far as I know and it has caused numerous security problems.

Likewise ALPN. The client has to say which ALPNs they'd accept for this connection if any, and the server just picks one. The server is under no obligation to hint that it knows any particular ALPN or to let you connect without specifying.
Hey, try being over 50.

I just gave up, and retired early. Best decision I ever made. I'm working for free, with NPOs, and it's been a joy.

The worst part, for me, has been the naked contempt and disrespect. I don't expect to be worshipped, but raw insults are beyond the pale. It's -literally- like a hazing ritual. With all the news about "frat boy culture," I think I see where it comes from.

I don't think it's just us older folks. It seems as if the entire industry has gone down the bog. My guess is that younger folks are getting similar treatment, but are more willing to shrug it off, and power through.

I’ve never had Amazon not offer me some recourse on the ~0.5-1% of shipments that had an issue.

Sometimes that recourse is stupid (“ship back an entire desktop CNC because it’s missing a spring”), but it’s Amazon’s dime not mine. Other times (alternator mounting flange machined incorrectly by 1/16”; “we can send you another one that’ll get there in 6 days”) I had to make do and modify the part to fit because I can’t be without a car for a week (and the local parts stores were 2 days out at 2-5x the Amazon price).

Order another 3-pack, ship back the 2-pack. If you need to use one bag now, use it, and when the new one comes in, ship 2 of those back. Amazon’s giving you something workable and fair-to-you, but appears stupidly inefficient. So what? It’s their money, their choice; not my job to protect them from themselves. (I do suspect a 2-minute chat with A2Z and asking for a 1/3 refund and ship nothing back would also be granted.)
Ok, thank you. I went looking for the numbers before posting, but I mostly found the same "100 times" number repeated in different sources and decided to roll with it. Do you have some reference that could be used to inform instead?
Not sure I’d describe eastdakota as a middle manager but I guess he does have the board above him.
It will stop, at some point. IT is still growing but we're reaching the point where IT workers are a decent percentage of all workers, so they are starting to become representative of the population at large. Larger and larger cohorts of IT workers are aging and recent graduates will stop being enough even for the top companies.

Also, salaries are lower in general but I get the impression Europe is better in this regard. I see older people in IT, at least in Western Europe (in Eastern Europe the field is too new).
