Without quibbling about the particular (adding a month) example, I can vouch that this is a great way to help the people for whom the software is being built refine their thinking. I help clients often with inherited/legacy/hacked-together code, often written by non-expert programmers for "odd" platforms (think: Excel VBA macros, which use the spreadsheet itself as the sole data structure). Identifying the awkward implicit concepts in this code, and giving them corresponding awkward names, can help the client recognize places where their tool doesn't map onto their domain knowledge the way they thought it did. As a recent example: "run of same-named tasks when ordered by date, then name" isn't exactly the same concept as "block of time dedicated to a specific task"!
But there is generational fallout from this policy too.
It would be great if everyone could bring their own reusable cup each time they go to shop I agree!
Buying MLM energy drinks (and indeed any MLM product) is a very bad sign.
Obviously I can see shoes on people's feet easier than I can see antibodies inside someone. But the point isn't how I find out if you are wearing shoes or not. The point is that someone is telling you that you have to do something to your body. Putting on shoes and getting a vaccine are both actions that you may want to decide to do on your own and not have someone else tell you that you have to do.
Some places you don't get the deposit if the can is crushed, because they need to be able to read the barcode. Which is insane, because crushed cans take up a fraction of the space of whole cans and only makes the recycling process more complex.

That is exactly the narrative Nixon’s administration used to

SiC has a lower electron mobility than GaN (and, in fact, even Silicon), so in identical scenarios it can't switch as quickly as GaN chips.

SiC has significantly higher thermal conduction than both Si or GaN, though, which makes it more suitable for cases where you need a ton of thermal capacity (inverters for EVs, for instance).

Both technologies are in their infancy, though. You can get better performance out of either by improving the process technology aspect, so it's hard to say one will ultimately be better than the other. Given the electron mobility though, it seems GaN will ultimately win for devices that aren't thermally limited.
We don’t have a public SLA right now but work with customers directly to establish one that makes sense for both.

That being said, check out this blog post https://hookdeck.com/blog-posts/hookdecks-approach-to-reliab... about our approach to reliability. Essentially we’ve decided to focus on ingestion by reducing the dependencies to a minimum and completely isolating it from the rest of our infra. We can’t guarantee 100% uptime, that would be unreasonable, but we can have a better likelyhood at ingesting your webhooks than you do.

If you look at De Blasio's announcement of this "Key To NYC" program, the stated purpose sounds pretty clearly like trying to pressure people to get vaccinated. He gave the example of how successful it was with mandating city workers get vaccinated. Making it clear that this is to show New Yorkers that the way to participate in normal life is to be vaccinated. Sort of a "enough is enough, it's time to get vaccinated" attitude.

Maybe you think his real purpose is what you described rather than his stated purpose, but if he were hiding the ball I'd expect it in the other direction. It's rather jarring, really. But I suppose authoritarianism and paternalism are becoming more normalized these days.
Would running something like the docker proxy below on an old laptop help?

TLDR: A caching proxy for Docker; allows centralized management of (multiple) registries and their authentication; caches images from any registry. Caches the potentially huge blob/layer requests (for bandwidth/time savings), and optionally caches manifest requests ("pulls") to avoid rate-limiting.

It seems as though every SaaS provider is already rolling their own authentication app - my iPhone is becoming crowded with them (Xero, Adobe, etc) - so the timing of Keyri is fantastic.
Interesting article although was not “beyond my imagination”.
The unit of 'month' is not fixed. It doesn't even have a value until it's applied to a date.

(It is almost like a quantum state. It can be between 28 and 31 days, depending on what it's being applied to. But as soon as it's applied to an absolute date the ambiguity disappears).

If you expand out the short hand 2000-02-02 + (1 month forward from February) + (1 month forward from March), then we can see associativing is nonsensical.

Wondering what the economics of keeping single use cups but making them out of aluminum would look like? It’s one of the more valuable recyclables (to the point where homeless people will collect them to make some money).
To give you an explicit answer - yes.

Another anecdote: My grandma lived to 98, and only couldn't get around so well and lost mental sharpness around 96. She grew up on "southern" cooking, complete with lard at almost every meal. She refused to eat anything green. Most of her diet in her later years, when she just didn't feel like cooking any more, was KFC chicken, Papa John's wings, and Domino's pizza, and always a sugary dessert. Her joke was the grease kept her lubed. She never went to the doctor for checkups, and the only time she set foot in a hospital was when she had a cancer on her neck in her late 80's. The doctors asked what she did to stay so healthy for so long, and she said, "I just keep breathing". She died of nothing more than old age. I hope I got most of her genes.

I feel like this attitude is part of why nutrition science is the way it is.

People are boxed into this "healthiness is a one-dimensional scale" thinking. Are eggs healthy or not healthy? Are potatoes healthy or not healthy? Is pizza healthy or not healthy?

But reality is way more complex and nutrition science knows very little about "healthiness" (to the extent that you can distill diet into a one-dimensional scale). Scientists only claim, "X is maybe correlated with Y (in Z population)".

So this simplification, plus the lack of definitive known truth, leads people to latch onto B.S. like "eating eggs is unhealthy because eggs have cholesterol".
Reusable cups are still banned at my Starbucks due to covid which is a bit frustrating for me. I've been using my reusable cup for 5 years until covid. They used to sell a cup every year which gave free coffees for the month of January.

Well, yes, that is implied by the fact that it says “NAS” in the title.

We tried this topic yesterday on the FP with a link to a bug tracker, and it went quite badly. I wish someone would write and post to HN a serious full-length discussion about what's going on, with clearly separated "Google's stated intentions as of today" from "Reading the tea leaves" from "This is outrageous".

I still don't even fully understand the problem, because everyone just defaults to linking a bug tracker that's of lower quality than a Reddit discussion, and I can't trust HN comments to explain it because of all the outrage and assumption-by-framing. Ugh.
Yeah but Starbucks wouldn't want to lose customers over that. But you are right on one point, we could and should make a habit of using reusable dishware/cups.
We need to have Starbucks (and all coffee shops for that matter) offer the option to pay on a sliding scale so you can fill up your 30oz Yeti and pay accordingly. That would be too pro-consumer though.

Right, I am only arguing that we are not flying totally blind here. Is the risk 0%? No, never. But the people who know the science best think the risk of something occurring beyond the timeframe we have good data for is very, very low. And the idea that there is a certain amount of years or decades, or a certain life event that changes the expectations of how this impacts human health, is something that we are only guessing about. Whereas the people with the knowledge and background to make educated guesses generally have little to no concern.
Perhaps it would be better to not gate by whether you happen to have visited a website fast enough relative to other people. For auctions, at least, there is a simple solution in the form of extending the auction timer whenever someone bids.

I can. I got my shots as soon as I could, but I know lots of people that will never do it. Yesterday I was eating at a ramen shop - traffic was slow, so I got to listen to the bulletproof young man waiting tables talk to his friend at length about how he'd never get the shot, just like the flu, I'm not an anti-vaxxer - but, I don't wear tinfoil hats - but.

The list of reasons not to do it was long and apparently convincing enough to them.
> What's the harm in letting unvaccinated people spread covid amongst themselves?

Uncontrolled spread in the unvaccinated puts others that can not produce an immune response at risk.

>Vaccinated people aren't at risk.

This is false, fully vaccinated people in my network have been hospitalized.

>Is there any evidence for that though?

Reproduction and mutation in the infected is the primary mechanism by which variants develop.
But all food containers are like that. They are not recyclable. In fact, MOST things that you'd expected to be recyclable are not. Your bottle doesn't have a cap on? It will sink in water and end up in a landfill. Glass other color than clear? Landfill. And so on.
I've been doing this for the past 15 years. I use bash, tmux, (n)vim and git. It runs in whatever WM and on any OS I'll encounter. If your environment is a few simple tools, it's basically future proof and very portable. I like to keep config files fairly minimal as well so I don't become dependant on custom keybinds or functionality.

Do people actively look for ways to pay more taxes?
Since they are here illegally they are not even supposed to be here so it doesn't seem like an issue.
Exactly right.

Although I think your comment here rather underestimates mathematicians :) Regular people are the ones who are only used to thinking in real numbers or integers. While some may be familiar in a practical way with how dates and times work, they would probably struggle to rigorously define the algebra of time math where associativity and commutativity don't hold. Mathematicians will be familiar with areas like abstract algebra and group theory and very capable of understanding the concept that date math is not normal integer arithmetic.

Either way though, I agree the plus operator works great here given the inherent weirdness of how we have structured human time, and everything the author is proposing is worse. Joda handles the trickiness of dealing with time far better and in a much less error-prone way than any other library I've seen.
Nearly all irrational pricing like this can be explained by corporate bureaucracy and dysfunction.

If you need to provision someone you can buy them a laptop, but that's CapEx and has to go through some equipment purchasing bureaucracy that's hell on wheels to deal with.

Cloud services are OpEx though and might be something you as an IT person or department head can just approve as long as the monthly cost is low enough. The cumulative cost difference over many months or years doesn't factor into it.

A whole lot of the cloud trend can be explained this way.

Of course other use cases include temporary employees, testing, external contractors, etc.

> I am in cohort #1. I don't want to continue to increase the chances of breakthrough mutations and I do not want others to do so.

Mutations can happen anywhere in the world. To reduce the odds of mutations, we need to vaccinate as many people as we can globally. Our efforts would be much better spent getting vaccines in the hands of people in other countries that are very willing to take it.

That's an interesting distinction I will look into more. Thank you for the reply.

If this is the case, I stand by my questioning of OP's statement: "a vaccinated person, like anyone else, can only transmit the virus if they have a symptomatic breakthrough case."

This seems an oversimplification.

Its not a surprise that ethnic and religious minorities are anti-vaxx - many of them already had COVID.

I'm anti-mandatory vaccinations for the same reason, as a COVID survivor. All the evidence is showing that this natural immunity is superior to vaccines, but I'm treated like a second-class citizen.

Hard to read this it’s just way too editorialized by the author. We get it you’re mad about the pandemic and how it’s handled. Supposedly being a doctor gives you more credibility but only on vaccinations not on public health policy.

Anyway im sick of reading articles with no other point than to make you mad. But its HP what can you expect.

Edit: not really going to argue with anyone my point stands. Just another stupid piece made to make people mad. Your comments further reinforce this. Be mad but it doesn’t help.
A good compromise could be to have it trigger a non-blocking pop-up notification within the page, since the blocking is the main issue

Heck, if they did that it might come back into style. Pop-up notifications are a pain to implement from scratch

I think you're underestimating the amount of inessential unnecessary complexity in most software and systems designs. There is a lot that can be trimmed without touching required complexity.
In one of my campaign worlds the assassins guild was run by a church; you had to pay once to kill them, and again to make sure they stayed dead :P

Introducing magic, or any kind of efficient machine or analog for modern medicine that might appear as magic in a fantasy setting means you get to throw out most of the rules that are learned from historical observations, except where you base those lessons learned on post-industrial revolution studies where the availability of electricity and modern industrial tools haven't been made readily available to developing communities and countries.

Most fast food places are not equipped with dishwashing facilities, but I'm sure they could be added. The only place I know that offers glassware to dine-in customers is Tim Hortons, and that's on hold because of the pandemic.

If you just mean the additional packaging for drive-through customers, not much difference. Just a paper bag.
I was kinda disappointed in it. Crusader Kings 2 were much better.
Who says they aren’t? I think there are some very good arguments to be made about how society could collectively benefit by not subsidizing activities like these through insured healthcare.
It is rather straightforward. Some monogamous relationships will establish marriage. Sometimes before the four year mark of the relationship. This means that some relationships that fail in the fourth year will also end up in divorce. The date of marriage does not usually coincide with the date of establishing the relationship, however, and thus marriage data is not useful here.

I'm not sure where you find obsession with arranged marriages? The original comment excluded arranged relationships, presumably because people in arranged relationships maintain a relationship for different reasons than those in voluntary relationships. But if you really want to understand his intent, I'm not sure why you're asking me?
It is not somehow patriotic to pay more taxes than one legally owes.

Overpaying taxes (what a lot of people unintentionally do that don't have resources to navigate every nook and cranny of the labyrinthian tax code) accomplishes nothing but make the individual more poor than they already were. Minimizing overpayment is the best possible thing an individual can do.
I 'earned' about 24K (equivalent before tax - as a stipend) as a doctoral student in London. Yes, once we had a mouse in the flatshare, but this is ridiculously exaggerating things.
The biggest problem with this is trying to model tax payments in the future.

In ten years, you have no idea what tax rates will be. But you can be pretty confident the Fed will have devalued money by 30%+.

Even if you just want to have tax brackets adjust to inflation - this function gets to be really complicated.
Primarily because of the threat to our healthcare system, but also because of those with high risk of breakthrough infection and those who cannot be vaccinated. I find it a little hard to believe that anyone who has lived through this pandemic does not understand this.
They do effectively prevent transmissions, against the strains to which they were tailored. They still do a pretty good job against strains to which they were not specifically tailored. The problem is that not enough people have them.

The side effects that are able to be actually substantiated by credible sources have been generally quite mild and very, very rare.

> The only concern in theory is that a vaccine-immune covid variant could develop amongst unvaccinated populations. Is there any evidence for that though?

Considering that also vacinated people get covid, this doesn't help at all, and since they're mostly asymptomatic, they can even spread it more.

Otherwise, I agree... vaccines are available for everyone, if you want to risk it, it's your risk to take.
Are we really comparing the "redundancy" of an SSD internal workings to a NAS? You're reaching really far for that. Whatever "redundancy" an SSD has is whatever it needs just to present a single instance of that data to you. Sounds pretty damn ineffecient, but if that's what it takes to reliably get 1200MB/s speeds I'm okay with it for situations where I need that.

The redundancy a NAS can provide means losing an entire drive (or more depending on config) in the unit without data loss. Even with that failed drive, the data is still accessible. The failed thing can then even be replaced and the system can be brought back to the normal full redundant state. Your "redundancy" of an SSD doesn't allow for that to happen.
