"New Zealand To Begin a Three-Day Lockdown after a Single Case is Reported." Headline from The New York Times 5 days ago.

I'm willing to believe this is fake news from the NYT, or that the situation has changed, but others are reporting it as well.
Hi Nicolás,

I think that this could be very useful, but you need two additional elements:

1. Automatic transcription of the audio, so that you can read whatever was said.
2. A good search over the transcriptions. So if I ask, "When am I meeting Brian", it can match a message from Brian that says "I'll see you for pizza tomorrow at 4pm".

Out of curiosity, of which languages do you think programmers are the most fun to have around? This could be a really fun blog post, or descend into MBTI-style memes.

I'd love to read a study about this. Perhaps tie it into probability lift for venture capital like the other article on the front page today.
What does GDP measured in Oklahomas have to do with anything?
Not the world's biggest fan of GitHub myself but to be fair they're about to support ipv6. They've started putting up AAAA records around other parts of the site if memory serves.
You're just asserting that, but where is your rebuttal of their contentions?
I agree. Buy used, buy old-school.
Similar to the other article I sited, "we were unable to evaluate immune memory in those with the extreme presentations, both asymptomatic and severe COVID-19"

So unfortunately since I specifically and repeatedly referred to asymptomatic cases, which are relatively common in those under 30, it is not good enough.

If I could edit my original post to <B>BOLD</B> asymptomatic even more, I would, since I highly doubt you're going to find many studies on that group.
I'm sure you embrace the inevitability of searching for a long-term partner. The living proof that we all need a soulmate is found on https://www.wantmatures.com/ where tons of people are trying to create a stable relationship. An advanced matching system that remembers your matches and give you the best chances of finding a suitable partner will take care of you there.

I remember well java codebases littered with:

try { .. } catch() { // Todo }

Usually cheaply inserted by the IDE.

I'm pretty sure nowadays there are linters that will ensure you have to do some extra work to actually check in such code, but still...
Can I ask, which protocol do your users get by default? I would like to enable http on my personal website, but then browsers seem to give most users the http version.

In other words, I would like to serve http://example.com if and only if the user explicitly inputs the http protocol; anyone who types example.com should get https://example.com. I haven't found a way to do this.

Eh.

I'm super excited for WebAuthn, but unless my sources are out of date it's far from being supported everywhere (https://webauthn.me/browser-support).

A giant challenge with WebAuthn is the lack of platform authenticator integrations, particularly on Linux. You basically need to buy a separate key. And if you're on Android and you swapped out Chrome for Firefox (which you should do) then even the physical key stops working.

I desperately want to start using WebAuthn everywhere and I desperately want to start encouraging devs to swap over to it for most new logins. But I don't think I can. I don't know that I own a single phone or desktop that as configured can use WebAuthn without a security key. If I'm doing something wrong, or if there's some config option that just hasn't gotten flipped by default on platforms like Firefox Linux, then I'd love to know.
There’s a lot of relatively unexplored ground regarding macro phenomena such as fluids, and molecular dynamics, as well as a lot of open ground in alternate approaches to most common theoretical frontiers.

We’ve barely touched alternatives to tokamaks and string theory. Blending classical and quantum molecular dynamics simulations is under explored. Improving the efficiency of simulating large scale dynamical systems is under explored.

These are the areas I know offhand, I’m sure every working physicist has ideas they think are worthwhile that they seemingly don’t have time for/can’t get funding for.
That might be an issue for non-programming work like video editing, 3d modeling, animation, &c. But tons of programmers just need a text editor with a total of zero buttons, a terminal, and a web browser.

Xcode for macOS isn't designed for that, but no reason xcode for iPadOS couldn't be.
Some of the larger black holes could take 10^100 years to evaporate even after the universe grows cold. I don’t know how long that would take, but the whole process will take an unimaginably long time.

True, online dating is not hard at all if you know a good dating website for your area. For me, that's https://www.iwantdating.com/ which is the most useful dating platform I've used so far. People who are looking to date a specific type of partner will definitely appreciate this resource because it offers great filters for partners.
This tool https://wdumps.toolforge.org/ allows you to create bespoke dumps that are pre-filtered for your needs.

I've had a similar experience with DynamoDB from AWS. They talk about elastic scalability and whatnot, but once you have real load, you need to buy dedicated capacity.

$2000/month of DynamoDB write capacity wasn't even giving 20% of the write throughput of a $160/month 4-node Aerospike cluster.

In addition, I felt like a the APIs made it really hard to do simple things.

In Bavaria we have most bike lanes as part of the sidewalk. They are clearly indicated and separated from the pedestrian zone by a 2-3cm drop. Eliminates most problems with cars. However, often the problem with the doors for side parking cars persists for the car's passenger side, which makes it less frequent but more likely that the person opening the door didn't look.
I don't consider basic research worthless - just saying the likelihood of anything practical comming out of fundamental physics seems very low when even theory can't predict measurable effects outside of TeV particle collisions.
IMO the best is to occupy the center of the line to improve your visibility (especially when the road bends right) and to give the cars some incentive to slow down and overtake more on the left and then move closer to the right edge when they're actually overtaking you. This breaks down if the traffic is too heavy though.

The exception is on left bends. There it's best to stay on the right, for three reasons: better visibility, you can have a straighter trajectory with a higher speed and if there is only one lane in each direction, cars going too fast in the opposite direction may cross into your lane.
>The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service (CMS), which oversees the regulatory process for US labs, requires genome-sequencing tests to be federally approved before their results can be disclosed to doctors or patients. These are the tests that pick up on variants, but right now, there's little incentive for the labs to do the work to validate those tests.

Seems to be a side-effect of reasonable laws that weren't written with emergency-use authorisation pandemic measures in mind, and pharma lawyers following the letter of the law to avoid liability. Should be easy enough to fix with, at worst, an executive order.

The thing I haven't been able to figure out, once reaching the mental place you describe above, was what to do about it.

It really feels like the answer is "do nothing, and hope no one ruins your life". Which isn't a great place to be.
Of course demand is infinite.

1. Conspicuous consumption is purely competitive. There will never be a point where running faster stops being an advantage in a marathon. If everyone could afford five cars, then some people would still try to gain a status advantage by buying ten.

2. The dopamine hit from spending money is purely relative to the amount of money you have. As you earn and spend larger sums of money your brain adapts to expect even more. It's just like any addiction – a drug user will keep increasing doses forever until they reach some medical or financial constraint.

3. New "needs" are simply created. People get chemotherapy instead of simply dying at age 60 from cancer. People receive expensive mental health treatment from high-skilled practitioners which didn't used to exist. Most people used to be illiterate but now everyone needs a high school education, and more than half even need an expensive college education.

90% of people in the first world have enough money to get all of the things that very poor people "need". But we simply adjust to the new reality. People move to high COL cities and spend all of their money bidding up the cost of houses. It never ends.
The fact is that any web site that gets a majority of their traffic via search traffic tends to be trash: These sites don't care if they abuse their users as they know they're not coming back, so they play the numbers game and load the pages with any possible revenue generating feature possible, regardless of how user hostile it might be. Sadly, this represents most of the web.

My personal pet peeves are recipe sites. They are the absolute worst!! The other day I went to look up the right proportions for lemonade - which has all of three ingredients, and a one word instruction: stir. You should try it yourself to really see how bad it is.

(For future reference, 1 part sugar and lemon juice to 4 parts water. You can get fancy and make a simple syrup first, but if you stir well enough, it doesn't matter much in my opinion.)

You know who has enough influence to fix this issue? Google. When they said they were giving mobile websites a ranking boost, the web changed relatively over night to mobile-friendly pages. If Google announces they will penalize websites that over monetize? Poof, we'd all have a readable web again.
I use a G502 with the inbuilt driver and it works fine.
I've never had a Java IDE insert something like that?

But either way, you have to go out of your way to do that, which is sort of my point.

The one place where you do see dumb boilerplate and chances to screw up is in dealing with checked exceptions, which have been controversial since the very beginning. I think they are one of those things that seem like a great idea in theory, but end up not working out so well in practice, but (like people who appreciate Go's error handling model) there are people who disagree.
So it was a vicious cycle.

1. Recruited during a massive hiring push. Joined a team whose lead had joined less than 6 months earlier.

2. Encountered weird and unexpected difficulties.

3. Told my team lead that I felt like I wasn’t really delivering. Was told not to worry about impostor syndrome. Was urged to be more confident in standup.

4. During standup, confidently stated what I would get done according to what I thought was reasonable.

5. After overpromising, tried to figure out my current task. Didn’t ask for help because I did not know whom to ask.

6. Expected weird and unexpected difficulties.

7. After underdelivering, didn’t ask for help because I was ashamed to be taking so long at a task the team said was simple.

8. Worked longer hours to try to understand things.

9. Broadcast-Asked for help understanding things as my task dragged on.

10. Didn’t use the help successfully because the timebox for the task ran out. Burnt credibility.

11. At refinement said the next task would be hard. Lacked the information needed to win an argument for a longer estimate.

12. Tried to do tools-improvement work to increase my pace. Got distracted by this.

13. Tried to explain need to improve tools but was too brain-fried to write concisely.

Ok, that makes some sense.

Having done no research on your market, and knowing absolutely nothing, my armchair quaterback with a blown knee and beer gut says...

1) ditch the insurance search thing, unless you can get an insurance company to pay you for it early. It is too difficult for you to describe the benefit here, and is it in the insurance companies best interest? It's barely in the best interest of the patient...because they don't know enough about what they are searching for

2) Have you figured out a moat around the doctors and knowing their expertise? Data is not a moat. Your algorithm is not a moat. You may be on to something, I have no idea. Do doctors use linkedin? if not, is there an opportunity to build a network for doctors. Don't forget, LinkedIn is still backed by search. Should you be building a doctor-to-doctor focused LinkedIn that operates on linking specialties?

Also, this isn't only about doctor to patient, there is also doctor to doctor learning opportunities.
I tried the pitch style CV, but I think I fucked it up (in audience if not in style.) Do you have any good advice/guides?
It has fancy colors and made of anodized aluminum. There is zero plastic in it.
the article title is a bit of a mismatch for the situation.

the TLDR is that the sequencing method that is used to comprehensively reveal variant character [rather than general presence] must be federally approved in order to be coupled to PII.

there is still surveilance sequencing occuring and that is how variants are detected.

presently delta is upfront Variant of Concern [VOC] however is not the only VOC and the possibility of new variation being generated during extended periods of transmision is always a possibility of concern.

you are allowed to know what variant, however the health system is not allowed to accidentally mislead you regarding variant, by way of using a nonconclusive sequencing method
For rustc with llvm maybe, but there's projects to build a GCC backend for rustc, as well as projects to build a Rust frontend for GCC, both of which could solve this.
Hand foot and mouth if her hands were itchy.
I can understand why the vendor would want this features, and perhaps even most users. On the other hand, the one thing I liked about the limited approach was the ease of installing basic drivers. (Linux is my primary OS, so I'm accustomed to basic drivers and find the additional software that accompanies many Windows drivers repulsive. Knowing that the installer for these enhanced drivers can also present a security risk simply makes it worse.)
I don't actually disagree with anything you've said... but I don't know what point you're trying to make in the context of replying to the parent comment.
I agree that people need to stop linking to news and media articles.

While it might be fair to challenge the credibility of WSJ, you should know that the CDC study you cited had a relatively small sample size and was limited to a small geographic area over a 2 month period. Recent large scale multicentre studies with ~100x more participants have provided strong counter evidence that natural infection confers highly effective protection [3].

> A previous history of SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with an 84% lower risk of infection, with median protective effect observed 7 months following primary infection. This time period is the minimum probable effect because seroconversions were not included. This study shows that previous infection with SARS-CoV-2 induces effective immunity to future infections in most individuals. [3]

For reference here's high quality publications supporting GP's claim that natural infection provides robust and durable immunity that is at least as protective as vaccination [1][2][3][4].

Definitely noticed that they weren't attacking me the day after I smoked last.
Oh, come on. I couldn't wear shorts to school in elementary school. Principle's rules, and it didn't matter how hot it was.

Nor could I wear things that showed shoulders, among a slew of other things. I wasn't allowed to take a same-sex love interest to proms, nor anyone from another school (and it didn't matter that they lived in the same neighborhood). Blue hair? Go home until you fix it. We were told that the homecoming "powder puff" game was their legal girls football.

Heck, we had people watch us enter toilet stalls in elementary school to 'make sure' we peed during break.

These things happen all the time for both children and adults. Some were just stupid rules and some really freaking unfair, but most didn't ruin childhoods. And yet, folks are asking to wear masks to protect others because we think it helps is somehow ruining childhoods?

I gotta say, I just don't understand.

A person could lose a lot of weight in the 2 years of covid-19.
It literally was addressed directly, you just didn't understand the point. So I'll repeat: the people harmed by covid cases are not only the ones infected. To be blunt: I have smoking and/or fat family members and friends. You probably do too. Could they have worked harder on their weight or quit long ago? Probably. It would still be horrifying to see them on a ventilator.

Pandemics aren't about personal choice. Period. Pandemics aren't about personal choice. People who do all the right things still suffer. So... how about we try to minimize that instead of making excuses and placing blame?
What's his endgame? Buy time until the the pandemic burns out (if it does)? Or until we have better therapeutics?

Yeah I just tried crdt.el and it works great, out of the box. I presume some issues would pop up with more intensive usage. It's a bit odd to host it wherever it is hosted now. Also, if qhong would solve the discovery problem, then this could be The Package for collaborative editing.

You must not know anyone who does heroin, fentanyl or addicted to scrip. opioids, and therefore would have difficulty imagining how free and open access to those substances would lead to something much worse than COVID for civilization, and therefore maybe don't get quite why in the 'Supply Demand' equation, that law enforcement in totality (not just Police) basically keep a 'lid on things' such that the cost (economic and social) for such things is quite high, resulting in only relatively marginal demand.

Your statement also belies a couple of other misunderstandings in that 1) Police don't make the law and 2) 'go after organized crime' ... when almost all organized crime activity is actually drugs.

Some drugs like mushrooms we can probably move off the watch list, others, like MDMA feel like there should be options, but we are just not structured well for it, but most of the more potent ones just won't work in society irrespective of how a relatively small group of conscientious burningman-ers can 'handle their stuff'.

As for the drone - it was involved in some kind of operation, we have no idea the parameters of the situation or what kinds of risks were taken, why, or even where the civilian plane was at the time, hopefully we will. The Police obviously operate under a completely different set of parameters so it's hard to fathom what's going on.

What's 'wierd' to me is how people can use such casual thinking to make such broad social assessments kind of devoid from reality. I think it has to do with the fact that all systems are imperfect, and when we see an imperfection from the outside, we tend to extrapolate that to the entire system and don't have a developed intuition at all for the material reality of it all. I'll bet anyone most police skeptics, were they to just ride with police for a few days, would be bored out of their minds at the relatively mundane applied pragmatic reality of it all.

It would be interesting to compare how competitive these recommendations are with a multi-armed bandit.

i.e., does a bandit represent the upper performance limit of ignoring the distinction between causation and correlation?
> Except policies don't follow the context. Science says the old are vastly more likely to get severe reactions to Covid but we lock everyone down and still send Covid patients back to nursing homes.

Agreed, this is an issue. But I don't think that "policies tend to disregard context, which leads to poor outcomes, so we should disregard context when arguing about policies too" is a sound approach.

To be honest this is not an unreasonable bottom-end price. If your budget for a bicycle is lower than this you are better off looking at buying second-hand.

> Or they read a prep bible that told them this is how Google does things. Or they read an actual book about a subject (a bit better) but didn't really absorb the ideas (which is fine! happens to me too!), but wanted to use the thing they learned about anyway.

In my experience and from what I have heard from other people, this is just how people generally are.

It seems rare that people consider things rather than regurgitating them.

As a young guy who doesn't like to cargo cult like that it's sad to hear, but on the other hand it's less competition for me. Though a lot of experienced people are also like that so...
