I can't add research but perspective: I search in English, German, French and sometimes other languages. For EN DDG is hit and miss, I'd say 1/2 times it gives me the result that I'm looking for. For DE and FR the result quality is often much lower.

This means at least about half the time I end up with a !g I'm my DDG search.

I don't think bing will be a useful competitor in the long term, but a company that focuses on non-English national/linguistic markets, especially those with own character sets can compete in that area, innovate and hopefully also branch out on the EN market (see Yandex - RU; Yahoo - JP; various CN players).
I often use a debugger for code I cannot easily recompile, like glibc or Rust stdlib.
You could probably ask the same question about digital vs. physical paperwork. Japan is old-fashioned.
Don't you think this is a bit of an exceptional circumstance? There is no slippery slope here where "big pharma" can do it for every vaccine.

We are where we are because people have refused to get vaccinated. Given the circumstances, I'm completely okay with pressuring people to do so by those means.
I genuinely recommend Don't starve together as a remote co-op game.

I played it with my son and his friend. In the beginning we got stuck pretty quickly but the 12-13 years old guys had all the patience to look at the videos and figure it out.

The confused faces of the moms when hearing the loud (non american friendly) curses and shouts from two different corners of the house for "We need more meatballs, deerclops is coming in two days" or "oh no not a tree guard again". It will be an important memory of my oldest son's teens. Hopefully his too.

> Because when you’re finally in a situation where you could use its insights, you’ve completely forgotten them.

I once read a short essay by Patrick Süskind (author of "Perfume - The Story of a Murderer"). I am paraphrasing, but in it, he discusses his embarrassment that he cannot remember even major plot details or character names of great works of world literature, although he has read them multiple times and they deeply inspired his own work. He then makes an interesting speculation: if a book really and deeply influences you, then maybe actively remembering facts and insights of the book becomes harder and harder, because the book's ideas have been so deeply ingrained into your brain and thinking that you cannot remember them as facts independent of your thinking. But this doesn't mean that you have "forgotten" them.
If your research involves collaboration, may be you could ask in your department, for example, so it becomes easier to share and exchange thoughts? Just a thought.
Can you imagine saying, we don't care what happened at chernobyl because it's anti russian.

Where does this weird narrative come from? The idea that properly investigating an event that completely shook the world to its core is somehow "insensitive".

I mean, let's just not investigate anything where we might not like the answer... Is that really a legitimate strategy in your mind.
Corporations love to use these kind of manipulations to pay workers as little as possible. Peer recognition is one of those tools along with reminders like "you are best of the best" or "you are vital part of the team and we couldn't do without your contributions". Meanwhile company made another billion off of your work and you'll call yourself lucky if you get a 10k off that billion. They are thieves.
Precisely. It also makes me wonder if they really reached Mach 1.01. I mean if you can recover with such an airliner, why did everybody before chuck Yeager die?
I think the difference is that AMD needs to cater to a wide variety of customers, software stacks, and hardware platforms. Tesla has basically one platform and one customer (themselves).

Their software only needs to be useful to a small group - the autonomy team. I did not get the impression that Tesla plans to sell supercomputers, but that they are building these supercomputers for themselves to train and deploy AI networks.

You said "Even if the hardware existed, if you can't program it, it won't succeed." But it seems like the key customer - Tesla's internal Autopilot team - can already program it. So I just don't see any problem. They may choose to sell these systems (note that they have been shipping their Gen1 custom chip for years now and it is not for sale to the public), but the real plan for revenue is to succeed at AI and profit there. For that they need incredible computing power internally and in a portable platform for edge deployment, but they do not need to sell their chips as a general purpose compute platform.
The description of the Golden Cove microarchitecture at https://www.anandtech.com/show/16881/a-deep-dive-into-intels... certainly looks promising.
...this is actually a great analogy.

Yes, it does; but when you're trying to set a record swimming the English Channel, or escaping from a sinking ship you'd be an idiot to do it deliberately weighing yourself down with weights.

I suppose there's something to be said for both ways of doing things ultimately, depending on what situation you're in, and what your goal is.

...but unconditionally advising people to swim with weights, is simply bad advice.
My understanding of selection pressure in relation to viruses is something like viruses that escape the body's defences where those defences are strengthened. Eg if lots of people have antibodies triggered by a vaccine then it favours those viruses that avoid that immune response and infect the host.
It's important to realize that the world's dependence on China is actually interdependence.

People fear what might happen if China suddenly blocked all exports to their country, and rightly so. China is a country where the government wields that kind of totalitarian power. However, this hasn't happened even once yet. The Chinese government knows that, once they play that particular card on one nation, every other nation in the world is going to freak out, stop talking about diversifying away from Chinese manufacturing, and actually do it.

The world absolutely should press the Chinese government to behave in an open and responsible manner on COVID and on many other fronts. China will respond with their usual hostage-taking and "wolf warrior" diplomacy, but it's a sham backed by thin air. China needs the world as its customers even more than the world needs cheap Chinese manufacturing. If the world's governments are willing to show a little solidarity then much can be accomplished.

The reality is we are learning as we go here so it's best to follow what Simon says for the sake of society.

Ash HN: Go or Rust for JavaScript developer in the next 20 years?
Time is limited.

As a back-end developer building cloud microservices / serverless, what would you invest time in mastering for the next 20 years.

Is it worth mastering both Go and Rust in the next 20 years on top of JavaScript / TypeScript ?

Also, what's your opinion on just focusing on mastering JavaScript / TypeScript with software architecture principles like domain-driven design, CQRS, etc ?

I value your real world experience with these languages.

> Can’t help feeling that the former issue is being used as a smokescreen for the latter.

It certainly looks that way. Given pandemics are a naturally occuring event, the origin of the event itself doesnt excuse the breakdowns in government, policy and to a certain extent personal human behaviour. It is not promisiong as there were precedents and plans in place, but we learnt nothing from inquiries into past pandemics.

Every person probably needs to have their own personal inquiry, no matter which side; 'its jsut the flu' to 'this is the end of humanity' and everywhere in between.
Yeah, usually people who talk about good public transport in any country are talking about the (big) cities (probably the only place they visited).

In cities in Portugal and Spain the public transport is good as well, but I lived outside those in both countries and you have no chance without a car if you have any urgency to get somewhere. A bus once a day (early morning) to pick up and once (early evening) to drop off; so if you rely on public transport, you lose 1 entire day if you go shopping.
As much as I am for healthy competition, and would love for the revenue cut to be smaller (even smaller than the current 15%), my main concern as a mobile application developr who has focused predominantly on the Android ecosystem is further fragmentation.

If another major store comes onto the plaform, then I am certain it wont have guaranteed access to play services, meaning more headache when selecting what services to use and when.

If your application is taking payments directly through the app (not using ads, and the app is no extension to the primary web portal) then a split community could cause havoc to the already struggling app developer.

There is a reason most developers do not create versions for the Amazon Fire, and this might end up being similar situation (if it goes the worse way possible)
Don't Starve lets you tweak many of the details of the world so you can remove threats you find too hard (or unfun) and make a "safe" game. Conversely this means you lose some resources, for example enemy drops or that are the result of weather phenomena. In turn that means that some items can't be creafted (in Don't Starve - Shipwrecked a rain of meteors comes in the dry season and some hatch into Dragoons that you can harvest Dragoon Hearts from to make items in the Volcanic tab that you can't make otherwise). But on the plus side it lets you create a relatively peaceful game that can be enjoyed for a long time (especially in a large world) and that gives you the chance to learn the basics without having to constantly struggle against sudden calamity. In a sense, you can make an Easy mode that you can play for ever until you get bored and want some challenge.

Personally, that's how I always play (except to unlock characters which requires surviving a certain number of days in the standard game). I just like to build stuff and survive and the constant attacks (e.g. by Hounds) end up annoying me after a while. I appreciate that the game's designers had a vision for the world but I appreciate it even more that they gave the player the tools to craft his or her own vision in turn. Like the menu item where you can choose your own simulation options says "Your world, your rules". Very often I've played games where the designers seem hell-bent on imposing their own, personal idea of fun on the player and it pisses me off (my worst example is in Underground Sea where apparently the designer thought it's great fun watching a slow moving boat treading water without anything happening for real-world minutes on end).

Don't Starve still takes a lot of wiki reading though. I think it appeals more to old-school strategy or city building game players, who would have expected to have to read a manual and playing a tutorial campaign before even playing (like Cesar III for example).
You're probably right, but I had guessed from this [0] that by unselected these options on each device, no metrics should be sent through.

It's understandable and acceptable in certain industries. If you are working in a care home full of vulnerable old/sick people and have decided that you will not take the vaccine for your own reasons, you can't really blame your superiors for firing you because there's a lot more at stake/to consider.
Indeed, ivermectin is orders of magnitude safer than many OTC drugs. Nearly 4 billion doses administered worldwide and about 13 deaths in half a century.

Arguments against ivermectin are becoming quite tiresome because it causes virtually zero harm. In fact, Pfizer is impressed with its anti-viral properties and release of a similar (read:patentable) drug is imminent. Merck is another (early) source of ivermectin misinformation.
So if 1 person throws out a styrofoam cup, we all should just say screw it and do it too?

Just because some people may not have any guiding principles doesn’t mean everyone should abandon principles.

That is another way to look at it.
Scientists need to consider the political impact of their findings. If it will only be used to bring harm in the world it's irresponsible to share it.
People choose whether to vaccinate and businesses choose whether to employee the unvaccinated. What is so wrong about that?

20 years ago my college wouldn't let me matriculate without a meningitis vaccine. So I weighed my choices and got vaccinated. Meanwhile, these people weigh the same choice and quit their jobs. Why would this upset anyone?
> The rush into electric vehicles has been spurred in part by plans in China, in European nations and elsewhere to either mandate higher sales of electric cars in the coming years or to ban gasoline-burning vehicles.

> Electric cars, Mr. Toyoda pointed out, are only as clean as the electricity that powers them and the factories where they are built. Japan, Toyota’s second-biggest market, plans to go carbon neutral by 2050, but as long as it continues to rely on fossil fuels to generate electricity, he said, the vehicles’ environmental benefits will remain a mirage.

It should be noted that no country are planning to ban fossil fuel-burning power plants. The "carbon neutral" plans seems to be all plans by a few countries to export more renewable energy to surrounding countries than their own consumption of fossil fuels. The intention is still to continue rely on fossil fuels to generate electricity.

For countries like my own that have a set date for both banning the sale of new gasoline-burning vehicles and a date for "carbon neutral", we need to set a date where no new fossil fueled power plants may be built. Preferable the same date. If there are no sales of new ones then the old ones will die off after a while.
Totally inaccurate. While yes, you can get in densely populated areas almost anywhere near jy with a public transport, in countryside more and more lines are being stopped and car is a necessity
Game devs care about the ultimate performance, many old timers would still be writing in Assembly if given the opportunity.

So even if security matters, specially in multiple player games, there won't be much Rust love at GDC.

If every computer was sold with Linux/KDE and the entire ecosystem had spent the last 30 years developing and using that platform it was just be normal for everyone.

If in that world I then created a new proprietary desktop that was Windows 10 I would be dismissed as a loser by the entire industry for making a terrible unusable piece of crap.

There is nothing objectively wrong with the Linux desktop that it can't be used dby everyone.
In Russia it was at some point possible to go from St. Petersburg (Atlantic coast) to Vladivostok (Pacific coast) using only regional trains ('electrichkas'). With some skill, paying for the ride could be avoided entirely, but it would take ~28 days.

Whereas a proper sleeper train does that in "just" 7 days.
The problem with the boeing 737 MAX was also not intentional.

Unless you would argue we shouldn't investigate that either, why do you make a distinction here?
As discussed elsewhere in this submission, if you want real mileage by road then it’s by coach you have to go.

I used to be scared of flying (technically still am but I’ve since learned to manage that fear) so over the years I’ve travelled great distances by road and rail. I’ve used coaches a lot to travel the U.K. and Europe. 12 hours has taken me from London to Amsterdam. I’d wager another 12 hours would get you as far as Eastern European, possibly even Russia.

But such a journey would have to be pre-booked coaches. You couldn’t get there on buses.
Part of the problem is that the entire mainstream media narrative of the pandemic was warped by using it to get Trump out of office, which lead to downplaying how important China's actions were. In particular, I remember a lot of the press harping on about how the Obama administration wrote a pandemic plan and how much better everything would've gone if Trump followed it... except the plan wasn't exactly as described by the media. The most important thing, according to the document, was something none of the media coverage mentioned - it wasn't mask wearing, or lockdowns, or vaccinations or anything they talked about, it was actually getting accurate information from the country where the pandemic started. It hammered away on the fact that every other part of the pandemic response fundamentally relied on that information, there was no way to do without it, and if the pandemic started in a developing country without the staff to gather it the US should deploy their own mission there to get it. There was no advice on what to do if the country was a near-peer of the US which refused to release that info for internal political reasons. An accurate description of that document would've put a lot more of the blame on China, and that just wouldn't do politically.
Those two sentences seem a bit contradictory

Exactly, simply spending money doesn’t solve problems. The issues with fusion are not with funding but with fundamental research, but you can’t always spend your way to solutions in research either. The laws of physics can’t be bribed or influenced by financial incentives. I completely agree we need to continue fusion research, proportionately to the evidence for the specific lines of research. The fact is though, we are spending huge amounts on fusion and have done for many decades. As ITER shows simple increasing spending will almost certainly just mean wasting all or at least most of the extra money on dead end lines of investigation.
Holding university entrance exams earlier seems like a recipe for disaster that would hurt disadvantaged students the most. This may be just my experience, but the older you get, the more time you get to catch up with students from better families. Coming from a working class background, I only started to study actively in high school (the culture I grew up in discouraged and actively mocked boys who read books or liked maths) which means that had the entrance exam be held at the beginning of high school, I would not have done as well as I did at the ned of high school.

The problem with building a meritocratic system is that everyone wants capable kids from poor backgrounds to raise to the top, but the elite doesn't want their average kids to fall down in society to their expected rank. One of the jobs of the elite schools is to prop us these average kids and to make them seem smart to outsiders: anyone who has studied in an "elite" university has a story about the rich kids who spend their days partying, intending to only pass the easiest classes in the school because that's all they need - their parents have already arranged an entry-level job for them.

Allow me to clarify. I said chickenpox vaccine. As in the childhood vaccine.

Why give a child a vaccine after they contracted the disease and developed natural immunity? Unnecessary medical procedures carry risks without benefit and veer too close to the field of human experimentation for many people.
So how do they know it was a drone? Sounds like textbook, literal UFO if they're unsure.

In previous discussions about terrestrial origins, either it's a hobbyist, an industry professional, a criminal, a terrorist, black ops domestic military, or a foreign state actor. I don't see 70+ minute flights without the resources of a state actor, foreign or domestic.

Another possibility is such stories are concocted to throw shade on drones to legitimize FAA's overreach and/or police-industrial complex wants to sell new toys to counter whatever this supposedly was.
