Hey, no need to have an attitude. The source of the discrepancy turns out to be that we define "middle class" differently, which was one of my leading suspicions.

Not sure what country your experiences are based on, but I consider American middle class to usually be salaried people who are homeowners (maybe with mortgage, fair enough), so several of the points you raised don't apply. That said, of course, it's a pretty fuzzy category.

Please try to behave nicely on HN. There is no need to insult others here (for instance, by saying that they don't get something that is "obvious").
> It only weakens privacy for iCloud photos if you have CP or photos in a CP database

Who controls what is in the database? What independent oversight ensures that it’s only CSAM images? The public certainly can’t audit it.

What is stopping the CCP from putting pro-Uighur or Xi Winnie the Pooh images into the database? Or from the US using this to locate images that are interesting from an intelligence perspective (Say for example pictures of Iranian Uranium centrifuges)? Apple says they will only add images that more than one government request? All it would take is a few G men to show up at Apple with a secret court order to do this no?

So… China and Hong Kong? The Five Eyes nations?
I don't find it confusing. Even experts can disagree, and even if we never, or can't ever, reach herd immunity there is still a perfectly good reason for someone to get vaccinated for their own safety.

> LL or LR is almost certainly faster then Earley, since in general more restricted = faster.

Earley's algorithm should be able to be trivially parallelized which might make it a contender for languages which are ambiguous (like most real world languages) where they are hand-rolling parsers. I haven't tried since I have no real need but looking at the steps I can't see a reason it couldn't do its work across multiple threads.

Honestly, other than JavaScript 1.1 I can't think of a popular language which has an unambiguous syntax and I really like playing with language grammars for some odd reason -- probably wrong though...

It's not that inconsistent from a UK perspective, I don't think. The government is still pushing vaccination hard because it protects the people being vaccinated from hospitalization and death and reduces the rate at which Covid spreads, both of which guard against hospitals being overwhelmed, but the idea of vaccinations stopping Covid altogether is pretty much dead here. Official policy is that we'll have to learn to live with the virus.

I know the US media and medical establishment has still been pushing hard on the idea that they could have herd immunity and stop the virus spreading if it wasn't for the evil anti-vaxxers ruining it for everyone, but that seems to be founded more in partisan politics than actual evidence. There's also a lot of pressure on any US publication that runs articles about how ineffective the vaccines seem to be against people catching and spreading Delta not to do so.
There is a tried and proven modern way to do what you claim moskitos are important for: vaccinations.

> ELI5 for how it works in the body:

GLP-1 RAs such as Semaglutide are increasingly looking like the best class of medication for weight management [1]

GLP-1 RA = Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist.

These medications stimulates a receptor in your body which results in a reduction in body weight and three main effects:
1 - Slowing down gastric emptying so food stays in your stomach for longer (this is thought to be why there is sometimes nausea when starting the medication)
2 - Making you feel full by working on your central nervous system
3 - Managing glucose control (which is why it's used for people with diabetes too)

[1] gives you a great summary of the field up to now and how it works.

> Is it something that you anticipate someone would take indefinitely, or only to get down to a target weight?

This will depend on the person, whether they are also diabetic and how much weight they have to lose and is decided through a conversation with their obesity doctor. After around 12-months on these medications the weight loss plateaus (at an average of 15% body weight). If one stops the medication then but hasn't made any changes to their lifestyle they'll likely put the weight back on. But during the 12 months of the program we will be tackling the other factors with the coach: sleep, stress, nutrition. And so after the first year it might well make sense to reduce the medication or stop completely.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

It’s been 35+ years for me but basically:

Alternate version using while:

program hnscratch;

var i: integer;
x: real;
y: real;

i := 0;

begin;
while i <116000 do;
begin;
x := i;
y := (x*4) / 2.71;
writeln(x,y);
end;
end.
We've done something like this too. It worked well to keep track of related issues, particularly during regular reviews. It turned out insufficient when we had to plan ahead for ~6-12 months of work on polishing "version 1.0" (~300 existing tickets that needed to be pruned, reprioritized and otherwise rearranged) and building "version 2.0" (proper work-breakdown task of a complex project).

Our PM tried to handle this challenge for a while, by writing scripts against GitLab API. This eventually turned out insufficient, so the PM, myself and another coworker set out to find a project management tool that actually does project management. It's after extensive discussions and search that we figured out none of the well-known work tracking products in software development fit the bill.

Best easily-accessible options we've found were: MS Project (if you're on Windows, which we weren't), Jira (if you hire a person full-time just to manage it) and YouTrack from JetBrains (if you hire a person full-time just to script it). There are other options in the corporate PM space, but we didn't get to explore those as a startup (and eventually we've all left the company).
Ask HN: Why in FAANG companies a manager becomes patent co-author?
I have seen managers become a co-author in any patent their team file. This undermine the principle of a patent that the person coming up with the idea should only file a patent. I know people who have tens of patent but they don't know anything about them as the person is just a manager and anybody in the team file a patent they have to add the manager.
We're planning a migration from Atlassian suite to the Gitlab ecosystem, but one item that I can't seem to replicate is the issue/ ticket workflow of a JIRA ticket. We have a semi-involved workflow that covers most of the software development lifecycle: initial requirements gathering, approvals, coding development, code reviews, UAT approvals, prod deployment approvals etc.

How do you handle this sort of thing with just Git(hub|lab) issues?

As someone replied to GP, you should definitely know how to complete tasks with only basic tools and without advanced tools. But it doesn't mean you should only use basic tools or no tools at all. I mean I do know how to calculate without calculator but it doesn't mean I dont use calculator. I use it all the time. Of course deep knowledge almost always means that you have a strong hold on the basics.
My original point is similar to your response, in that the very myopia that led us to invade is also preventing us from planning the exit better.

The Military wanted us to believe that "just a few more years" would prop up the regime, so they cannot come clean saying we cannot pull out without a proper evacuation because that would undermine the "just a few more years" argument.

From my perspective HN is big enough that you can shape your own experience by what links you are clicking. E.g. I feel I haven't seen that much of the "entrepreneur" aspect, because I don't frequent the typical startup topics much. Instead I'm interested in the more timeless "philosophical" discussions about software engineering in general where I always feel I get something out of it or encounter further readings. Nothing live changing so far, but interesting nonetheless.

Suppose we have a lot of self-driving vehicles that are slightly better than drunks, and the worst drunks use them. Maybe they can be hooked up to breathalyzers or something.

How can we ensure that the increase in the amount of driving (riding) that drunks do, doesn't more than cancel out the reduction in the rate of accidents?

What if, the self-driving being available to non-drunks, they use it because it's fun and futuristic, and that increases the amount of accidents even more?
Serious question to self: How often do you need those updates? And to what depth? If you’re in Afghanistan, you probably wouldn’t miss what’s going on. If you’re not, and you’re prioritizing “being a genius”, should you care?
The problem is, not all opinions are equal. And the internet, including forums like this, have no notion of status, authority, or stature — so it puts all opinions, no matter how informed they are, on the same page. And while status and authority doesn’t mean one is right, it is important than on average our information sources are more informed than the average person who has no training, no relevant knowledge, no domain expertise, and little ability to disambiguate between contradictory or even harmful information. This tendency has spilled over into the nearly infinite sources of media and information that now exist, with accelerants that didn’t previously exist for bad information to travel wide, far, and fast.

So when people say trust the science, what they’re saying is a bunch of people who do this all day every day are collectively hive minding some opinion on how things work. If it’s wrong, it will be wrong for likely non-obvious reasons. And thus that’s the best we as humans can hope for at any point in time. As a race we are continually learning and updating our understanding of the world; just because it’s not perfect at any one time doesn’t mean everyone should just throw away all that they know and assume everything is wrong and up for grabs.
> I charted my own infections from the year 1980. My worst year was 1995. In 1995, I had two major SuperMemo projects on my head, and also worked over my PhD. This was a year of stress and chaos. Naturally that resulted in reduced immunity. That single year, I had 7 cases of cold that resulted in 31 days of reduced productivity. The fact that I did not bother to take breaks from work must have had its contribution as well.

> In the year 2000, there was a major drop in infections and the problem of lost productivity disappeared entirely by 2003. There are only 3 factors that could have produced those dramatic shifts.

No other solid explanations come to my mind.

Keep in mind that there are multiple straight paths from the false negative case to the false positive case. I'll give you one examples: pedos can and will use the collider to produce large batches of CSAM that collide with perfectly legitimate images (e.g. common iPhone wallpapers). They literally have nothing to lose by doing this.

Eventually, these photos will make their way into the NCMEC database, and produce a large number of false positives. This will also make the other attacks discussed here easier to execute (e.g. by lowering the human review threshold, since everybody will start with a few strikes).
Speaking for myself (as I am pretty healthy). My concern is not about dying as much as it is about developing long Covid and other not fully confirmed potential complications. Saying that, I think at this point in the US we should completely reopen and stop arguing about the measures. I am maximizing my chances of survival and staying healthy by getting vaccinated and wearing a mask. Many people don’t - and that’s their choice that is at this point we should not try to fight. The only thing we should accept is that unvaccinated Covid patients should have a lower priority in hospitals than patients with other conditions.
When a company claims that their new vaccine cures cancer, but is against applying for FDA approval because "no reasons given", you seem to be the kind of person that camps in front of their offices overnight to get the first 10 shots, all in the neck.
Nah. There's not much to manage in a proper PM tool itself. But you have to know the basic concepts (like critical path) and understand the problem space (e.g. tasks form DAGs, not sequences). Also, project management is in big part planning the work, not doing the work. Issue trackers help with the latter, not the former.
"Science is a process, a way to find truth. It is not in itself truth."

We mostly all know this.

The issue is populism and communications.

When we use 'Science' as a basis of infallible credibility in some areas, then it's understandable that some are 'shocked' when that infallibility is obviously not true, and then people become jaded and lose confidence.

There's no language to differentiate between the murky greyness of some things (i.e. memory and recall), and the relatively unambiguous results of other bits of research (i.e. acetaminophen is safe).

Why should the non-scientific public, even sometimes, have confidence in a system that is so often very wrong? How are they supposed to know which bits are 'effectively true' and which are 'grey'?

From the outside, it looks like Science is being simultaneously authoritative (to the point of moralizing) and in other areas totally wrong but lacking in self awareness while saying 'Oh, that was wrong, bu Science is a process of discovery, it's not always right' etc..

Given that Science is constantly 'changing it's mind' it's perfectly reasonable for regular people to doubt Climate Change science: the 'authorities are often wrong, ergo, they may very well be wrong here'.

If Science doesn't have a way of effectively (and by that I mean simply and clearly) communicating the degree of confidence in something, then we're playing a very dangerous game with credibility of the institution.

Exactly! Zig is an improvement over C in many areas, but it's fundamentally still _not_ a memory safe language. It's comparable to a modern C/C++ project setup with valgrind and allocator checks by default. The comptime is nice, but C++17 and upwards have dramatically improved the "comp time" compiling in C++.
Politics should be interesting to a programmer if one can write a program or use data to do something useful. (or talk about doing that) You have to force the conversation in that direction. Like for a chemist everything is about chemistry. They know its not but pretending sure makes things a lot more interesting.
What's interesting is that an immune reaction is the GOAL of a vaccine. How did they turn this into "natural causes".

BTW I'm fully vaxed and looking forward to my booster. But I'm not dumb enough to imagine there is no side effect to a vacine that is designed to generate something in my blood to help me fight covid. Blood / heart stuff seems like a somewhat natural area to find occasional side effects?
You've made twice as many posts in this thread as mrDIMAS. You might not have realized it because you don't feel like you're exerting yourself. Nevertheless, you're vocal enough that a casual observer can see you as the public face of the project, and the picture you paint is not a constructive one.

In the past, you've said that you don't believe community-building skills are important. This tells me you have a serious misunderstanding of software development, especially open source software development. The disagreements you're having in this thread are not debates you can win on technical merits. You should fundamentally reconsider the way you approach them.

If you still can't see the problem with your behavior, I advise you to delete your posts and do literally anything else. Read a book. Download some cool free ringtones. Anything.

> I have 2 children under 5 and so even with a vaccine I'm putting them at risk every day I go into work.

If that makes you feel any better, they are at less risk now than before pandemics. For children under 5, COVID is less dangerous than flu, and thanks to COVID changes in travel and behavior patterns, flu is pretty much nonexistent. If you weren’t worrying about your children getting flu, you shouldn’t worry much about them getting COVID. Hope that makes you feel better.
