> The antibiotic resistance most likely predates widespread pharmacological usage

This is absolutely not true, see this very accessible peer-reviewed primary source for many historical examples of antibiotic resistance driven by modern medicine [1].

Here is an excerpt from [1]:

- "After a new drug is introduced, drug resistance can rapidly evolve, leading to treatment failures [12]. For instance, most Staphylococcus aureus isolates in British hospitals were resistant to penicillin just 6 years after the introduction of the drug [13]"

[1] Why does drug resistance readily evolve but vaccine resistance does not?

Maybe so. Anyway, talking about Apple's hardware specs completely misses the point that started this entire subthread.
>you'll quickly realize that the end result is the little guy paying the actual tax via inflation while the big guy actually enjoys larger profit totals

What's the alternative then?

Implement regulations, forcing companies to increase costs => "enjoys larger profit totals "?

Tax companies only, forcing them to pass them onto consumers => "enjoys larger profit totals"?

Do nothing?

It would be nice if we could take the resources used to fight fires, and instead put it into making homes more fire-resistant. Let the forests be (burned or not) and learn to live with them.
I'm too old for this, but I really wonder what it's going to be like for high-school kids and nudes 10 years on.

I mean, if you get a really good nude from someone you're going to want to keep it. But for how long? Is there now a social rule of how long to keep nudes for? Is 21 too old, and you should delete them? What if you're still with the person?

Personally, I'm glad I don't have to figure it out, but teens sending each-other nudes just has all sorts of confusing ethical quandries to it.

Morality and ethics seem odd to apply if a programming language should be developed, which seems to be the context Andrew was mentioning. Some use cases might apply (ex. medical devices).

I don't think when people talked about herd immunity they meant that the coronavirus would be wiped out, just that it'd get the replication rate down to a manageable level. Just like those diseases that vaccines wiped out, the young would always be at risk of being infected. In this case though, the young (babies excepted) are also fairly protected from it getting serious.

Bob had a bad night: IoT mischief in a capsule hotel ups neighborly revenge
Consider that both Chrome and Firefox have already changed the UI to do things like make the dialog title indicate that this is content from a web page or, in Firefox's case, add an option to prevent a page from spewing repeated alerts. Why should the answer be to break correctly-functioning applications around the web rather than just continuing that process of making these dialogs distinct from the platform controls? There's no standard requiring that they be implemented as a Windows MessageBox() call.

Consider what it'd look like as a polyfill which just slams a <dialog> block with inline styles (position:absolute, etc.) into the page — there's no reason why Chrome couldn't implement something better than that and doing so would avoid breaking 3 decades of currently running code chasing after a very minimal security improvement.

I say minimal because while it's possible for an attacker now to use confirm() to install a Windows update, removing that function does not mean they'll give up and stop trying. It means that they will add a fraction of a percent to their existing development time making some JavaScript which pops up a dialog styled to look like the platform defaults for the OS your browser advertises. We know that because attackers already spend considerable amounts of time trying to look like legitimate sites and this is not going to be a prohibitive amount of additional work unless there's a sharp decline in the amount of money at play with ransomware and espionage.
If ransomware used PayPal accounts or bank numbers those payments would quickly start being censored to cut off their payment rails. The value of crypto is all rooted in censorship resistance, not anonymity.

Many of the projects leverage a well known OS as their base (e.g. pmOS uses Alpine Linux, Mobian uses Debian), and actively ensure that anything that can be upstreamed is upstreamed. So it's not like you're downloading some random ROM off of XDA.

As others have pointed out, `plus` has odd behaviors for days, hours, and minutes too (DST, leap seconds). That's because dates are weird.

Absolutely anyone who works with dates needs to understand this. There's no point in calling the method `plusWeird`, that's redundant.

The good news is that most people actually have an intuitive understanding of dates (because we have spent our lifetimes looking at calendars) and when you are doing exotic date math ("move this to the same date next month") the default behavior of `plus` is what you want.

I spent a lot of time working with Joda Time (and now java.time). I use date math functions on the regular, professionally. I found this API intuitive and ergonomic from the get-go, and well matched to the problem domain. What I see in this thread is a bunch of people with a relatively poor grasp of the problem domain trying to rethink the API.

I think programming has become so high-level that there's a lot of fundamental computer science that is largely ignored. I mean, I'm sure this person has no idea what an ISA, cache, CAM, or pipeline is either, but you don't need to know to write front-end JavaScript.

It does unnerve me as well, since it is so fundamental in my mind. But hey, maybe there is just so much to learn there's no time to teach computer architecture anymore?

If you want to feel humbled, read the book "Hackers Delight". It is about 300 pages of mostly bitwise algorithms and operations. I thought I knew a thing or two from decades coding, but this book goes so deep that my brain just shut off.

https://www.powells.com/book/hackers-delight-1st-edition-978...

EDIT: Upon further pondering, bitwise operations make certain assumptions about machine word size for that context. It could be dangerous for higher level languages to allow bitwise ops if the # of bits isn't known, as this context of instructions is generally tied to the hardware: the opposite of high level languages!

The decision has to be taken, and each tick of the clock pushes it to the one that, with the currently available information, is the worst by many orders of magnitude.
The distinctions between volatile and non-volatile memory weren't always so distinct!

"Another interesting property of core was that it is a non-volatile system, unlike most of its predecessors. The magnetic field in each ferrite bead is quite durable, and unless the core system is exposed to a strong magnetic source, the state of the memory should last almost indefinitely, even with no power.

That means that all those old computers in storage somewhere, in museums, in landfills or wherever they may be, likely still contain the last program they ever ran. And If you could find a way to power one on, that code could actually run again.

Spooky."

Regulations always amount to a seizure of property to some extend; the degree depends on how much the value of the property is reduced by the regulations. Ownership of property consists of the right to decide how that property is used. If the city is telling developers how their property is to be used then the city is exercising rights which belong to the property owner—acting as if they were the property owner.

Put another way: If the city tells developers that 10% of their land must be reserved for low-income housing, this is functionally equivalent to the city outright claiming 10% of the developers' land, turning it into low-income housing, and "compensating" the developers with the lower revenues from the rents on the low-income housing rather than the much higher rents which they would have received if the land had been developed normally. There is some compensation, yes, but not just compensation based on the value of the land. The difference is externalized onto the developers, and indirectly onto everyone purchasing or renting property, including (especially) those just above the cutoff to qualify for the low-income housing. The regulation thus amounts to a highly regressive property tax.

> Who is supposed to do the less desirable jobs in LA if no one doing those jobs can afford to live there?

Either these less-desirable jobs start paying more or they don't get done. If they're actually needed then they will pay enough to ensure that those doing them can afford to live nearby, independent of any minimum wage.

I'll speak for myself here - I'm not interested in getting it because I've already had COVID.

I know several others who feel this way. Most of them are making the assumption that they have lasting immunity, but I'm going so far as to have my antibody levels checked. It's been several months and they are still in excess of what would be expected from having been vaccinated, so I see no benefit to getting vaccinated.

Further, there are reports of vaccine reactions being more common and more severe in people who have recovered from COVID. It's important to note that "reports of" does not mean "confirmed reports of". That said, I've not yet found anything that leads me to believe that there is a net benefit to my being vaccinated.

A quick glance at the CDC's site shows that ~35m - or ~10% of the US - have been infected to this point.

For anyone saying "the system is broken" a challenge:

Provide a design for some system that is not broken and never will be. You can't stop at "at least fix it so this doesn't happen."

The most important question for you is: how will this system be staffed? Can non-college-educated people be hired? Will it be unionized? How much will the staff be paid, and can you attract the sort of staff you want with that salary? Or will you get TSA-level people?

How will disputes be adjudicated? Via civil lawsuits, arbitration boards, or what?

Will the heads of it be elected or appointed?

The point of this is that "the system" doesn't exist as pages in a textbook. It also doesn't exist in Denmark. It exists in the real US. Some systems work out better than others, but they all bear the thumbprints of actual hands.

So how many levels or layers down or up should we expect someone to go? Say we take Go / Java as a starting point, L-1 would be C / C++, L-2 would be Assembly / SIMD / AVX processor instructions, L-3 would be chip design / architecture, L-4 would be diode chemistry and fabrication, L-5 is quantum mechanics?

And on the other side L+1 would be databases, L+2 would be system architecture / systems design, L+3 would be user experience and communication, L+4 organisation and team design, L+5 would be LISP?

How many levels would someone have to straddle to meet the higher standard? And does it matter which level their midpoint is?
Lawyers of HN, what is the standard to establish a person is who they say are (or who the police say they are?). How is it possible that this guy wouldn’t be able to cash a check or get a document notarized yet is jailed on the basis of one guy going “yeah, that’s him.”
They could come up with a dozen other ways apart from swatting too, but swatting still happens and we generally agree that it's a problem where actions should be taken.

I think notation is completely misunderstood by some fields, and that physics in particular really shows the benefits of it (i.e. With tensors and feynman diagrams we can nearly stop ourselves from writing down the wrong answer through notation), but academics are just as idiosyncratic as everyone else so I'd guess something more human.
Believe it or not, there are many different kinds of software engineering, many of which don't require you to know anything about binary or bitwise arithmetic. I don't know that I've ever used these as a full stack web developer, but I did learn it in my Computer Science program; the only time I think about the bit position of something is when setting/viewing file permissions, or reading source code for a library which does deal with this (there are legitimate reasons to use bitwise operators in JS for things like hashing, cryptography, secure string generation, etc.)

But really, there are people doing software engineering who have never thought about this, and while I agree that any blind spot in knowledge is detrimental (and everyone has some blind spots), it's condescending to suggest that this specific blind spot is noteworthy to the point of lacking foundational knowledge. Your software engineering isn't the only type of software engineering.
