Nope.

These are deficits and not declines. Which is problematic because people that get more severe Covid also tend to be obese, older, and have preexisting conditions. These are clear confounders which haven't been controlled for in this study. These confounders are all correlated with lower IQ as well as Covid severity.

There's good evidence for long Covid, but this isn't it.

I seriously doubt that my mom’s taxes covered the 2x difference that out-of-province students paid. It’s a socialized good which is fine, but there’s something wrong with having a discriminated price. It’s selecting for funding ability rather than the quality of the student, which should be the only goal of education.

Certainly, if I’d been forced to pay that rate, it’s likely I wouldn’t have been able to attend. Or more likely would have needed significant student loans which would have drastically changed decisions I got to make without them. Neither scenario seems like a particularly just outcome if the only difference is an accident of geography.

Politically, this is a hot button topic because politicians are accountable to their constituents and since some amount of public funds are used on post secondary education, there’s a sense of entitlement. You can even see that in the “performance based funding formula” that Ford is moving Ontario to. And every price hike was always met with a wave of complaints when I attended resulting in tuition freezes. Trying to advocate for the rights of non-Ontarions doesn’t win you political points but it doesn’t remove the unjustness from the story (especially since that foreign funding is actually acting like a large subsidy for in-province students)

Career Advice for an Experienced Programmer
I work for a product based multinational company as a Software Architect and I have been programming professionally for 15 years.
My job involves understanding product requirements, breaking it down for developers, suggesting implementation approaches, building proof of concepts, reviewing code, and basically getting involved in any technical stuff that advances the product further.
The products that I have contributed to over the past few years have embraced the cloud, Microservices, message queues and so on.
Though the approach for building the products has been forward looking in terms of technological choices and patterns, the products have never been subjected to a “large scale” in terms of users, data volume etc. The products solved domain specific problems and I do not see them tackling cutting edge problems in the next few years. The product managers are also quite conservative.
When I watch tech talks online about how small team of engineers scale a product to millions of users, read about people forking open-source projects because they wanted to add a missing feature etc. I am in awe of them and feel like an imposter.
I do not have a Computer Science degree and everything that I have learned is through professional projects, reading books and writing prototypes.
It seems like engineers that have already accomplished something great in their past jobs get more opportunities to work on interesting stuff.
The Google’s and the Facebooks of the world would not be interested in my resume. The country that I live in does not have promising startups.
How do I maneuver my career so that I can create opportunities to work on challenging stuff given my background?

I think you would have heard about a lot more “cold-fog” if that was the case for cognitive issues. I am sure it does happen—covid and the common cold are both coronaviruses after all, but I’ve been hearing numbers as high as 30% with covid:

With that said, I am sure if we poured this much research into other severe illnesses we would find out a lot more bad news about what they do to our bodies…
In broadcasting, the publishers bought off the distributors at the expense of creators, aka payola. Which was eventually prohibited, but continued nonetheless. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payola

I'm struggling to articulate a payola analog for internet. I'll revisit Stratechery's Aggregation Theory, see how closely it fits. https://stratechery.com/aggregation-theory/

Meanwhile, if the tech titans want to claim the protections for platforms afforded by Section 230, they should probably stop acting like publishers. (aka having your cake and eating it too.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_230

- The CCP has coerced several South American nations that needed corona vaccines into toeing the CCP line

- The CCP has threatened the US by cutting off rare earths.

- The CCP has denied capital exports since 2016

OpenBSD package management basics (in less than 4 minutes)
Nowdays, I make the distinction between maintainable programs and hackable ones, the later of course being, imo, way better. What I mean by that is essentially that the ratio # by-design features over simplicity of code of the hackable program is considerably higher than the maintainable program (but there is no method to write a hackable program, you either have the sensibility for that or you dont, from my own observation - I'll be happy to discuss the nuances of that statement).

I don't know today but blizzard used to write its game in the hackable way - which is both a feat and rare. Take WoW for example, do you know how the 3d engine basically work? It's so simple and so powerful, you are not going to believe it. WoW is made of levels that are connected by portals. That's it. A level will have portals that will get you to other levels which in turn will have portals which lead to other levels. For example, when you are "outdoor" (with quotes because the engine doesn't know outdoor actually, it knows levels!), you may find a portal that leads you into a tavern for example. Once you are in the tavern, the program can ignore the rest of the world and focus the whole computer resources on the tavern, just like that, by-design. So you'll have taverns as detailed as all of what you can see in the exteriors. Better, you can have landscape in each and every level. (note when the player is in the air, say on a gryphon, some portals are ignored.)

This is both incredible simple and powerful. Remember the game run on early-2000 PCs. Imagine what you can do with that. Caves? Done. Houses that leads into catacombs? Done. Incredibly detailed cities? Add walls and portals, done. Texture streaming? Well, d-o-n-e. Buildings that leads to indoor landscape? Done.

I wouldnt make a game engine differently today.

As a comparison, I'm working on one of the most played game in the world atm which is a maintainable program. You have no idea the pain in the ass in comparison just to add simple features. Oh yeah the code is readable. You can fix bugs. But features, just forget it, it takes a shit load of money to get one done.

no my point is the EVs have far more electrical components, so if anyone is being disingenuous and not pointing out the entire picture it's the people also posting links to articles of ICE cars also catching on fire making people think it was the gas that combusted when it was actually an electrical fault. We have to look at the actual cause. Also I'm not saying EVs aren't the future, but there's still more work to be done in making electrical systems in cars safer, whether it's ICE or EV.
The actual term (D.5 from https://docs.github.com/en/github/site-policy/github-terms-o... )

> Any User-Generated Content you post publicly, including issues, comments, and contributions to other Users' repositories, may be viewed by others. By setting your repositories to be viewed publicly, you agree to allow others to view and "fork" your repositories (this means that others may make their own copies of Content from your repositories in repositories they control).

> If you set your pages and repositories to be viewed publicly, you grant each User of GitHub a nonexclusive, worldwide license to use, display, and perform Your Content through the GitHub Service and to reproduce Your Content solely on GitHub as permitted through GitHub's functionality (for example, through forking). You may grant further rights if you adopt a license. If you are uploading Content you did not create or own, you are responsible for ensuring that the Content you upload is licensed under terms that grant these permissions to other GitHub Users.

This allows you to browse and use the fork button to create a repository. It's unclear if the second paragraph is clarifying, or adding to the first term. If it's additive, then you might also have permission to host your own private repo off service.

Nowhere does it give you a license to _use_ the contents of the repository in your software. Nor does it allow you to publish the contents outside github - the first paragraph does not address publishing, and the second makes it clear that paragraph only applies "through Github's functionality".
Maybe I'm weird, but I feel like range anxiety is overblown. Most people don't go that far in a day and while recharging isn't instant, it's getting quite fast. Back in the day, it was easy to be bored. That was so little to distract you while waiting. Now, I have a smartphone with me all the time. Even when I'm home, half the time I'm on my smartphone by choice. Ok, that's an exaggeration, but it's so much easier to wait half an hour. Get a drink and a snack, derp around on my phone, etc.

If I'm doing Boston -> DC via Tesla Model 3 Long Range, it'll add two stops for 20 minutes and 25 minutes. However, I'm going to have to stop for gas along the way at least once so the 45 minute penalty should maybe be a 30 minute penalty. Realistically, it isn't a bad thing to stop a couple times, get drinks/snacks, stretch my legs, etc. It feels like it's a 5% penalty which just doesn't seem significant for something people rarely do.

I think some of it is the psychology that a 20 minute stop feels like a real stop while a 5 minute stop doesn't feel like a real stop. Even if you spend 10 minutes in the convenience shop or get lunch, that's your "choice" rather than the car's need. A lot of gas stops are longer than 5 minutes on road trips.

I think people buy cars for things they almost never do - and have a weird hate of themselves if their car can't accommodate something. I had a friend whose car couldn't fit a piece of furniture and he had to pay $100 to have it delivered. He said that he hated himself for not buying the larger (and $5,000 more expensive) vehicle he was also considering the three times this had happened. In my mind, that's not something to regret. You've come out $4,700 ahead! Yes, sometimes your car won't accommodate everything and that's ok. Maybe your car will need 5% more time to do Boston to DC, but that's not a big deal in your life.

One of clang’s stated goals is “expressive diagnostics”

See https://clang.llvm.org/diagnostics.html ; that page is not dated, but compares to gcc 4.9, which is from April 22, 2014.

gcc also has worked on improving its error messages (most likely because of competition with clang), so that comparison probably isn’t accurate anymore.
Most of that is simulating what maybe was initially at the base of success at the start of company of tight-knit friends who also were entertaining together. I think, that the problem here is very simple - getting rid of people who feel restless and do not appreciate the effort that is done for them and do not feel belonging to the team(!) and do not have their own suggestions, but have their own enjoyment by being disgruntled, because that is how they feel in general.

The problem here has nothing to do with participating in these awkward events, that probably does some job of bonding, but it has a problem with incompatible people that are brought together and have to withstand each other.
I have experience of working on both sides - where there were group events and where there were none. And the hell that I remember is about where there were none, because at those jobs nobody also cared for improvements for people, who were there "just to do their job". In fact that thinking lead to some of the people in criminal situations with knive fights(at work!!!) and did other crayzeee stuff to just deal with boredom of "just doing a job that they are paid for". You simply have no experience and appreciation of not getting that wish to come true. I had learned that in a hard way and just - no... I'd rather have a work event(and it doesn't matter what I think about them), than "work incident".
It would be nice if the entire database could be set into strict mode, so that you wouldn't have to specify it on every table.
While the Smart and Renault examples are regular cars but small (Mini and BMW i3 are about the same category), the Citroën Ami is a bit different: it can be driven without a licence, could work for teenagers for example, and some other specialised brands exist for those tiny/simple/quiet cars like Aixam (https://www.aixam.com/en/e-aixam-range). Renault also had the Twizy in that category.

Ask HN: Why is it so hard to get a good job as a junior developer?
I don't understand this industry. There are very few junior developer jobs and even they ask for 2 years of experience. How is one supposed to enter the higher paying market?

I work as a Node/Angular developer in a South Asian country and over the past 8 months have gained domain specific skills comparable to my own team lead who came from a different background. I write tests, APIs, UI features, deploy to QA, fix issues in QA, fix the build pipeline, architectured microservices and micro-frontend pattern, etc. I am not bragging, every of my team member does this and they should be paid more too. I am sure there are developers more competent than me but I really think I should be paid a lot more than $500/mo especially reading developers salary in American and European countries.

How do I as a South Asian junior developer land a better paying job? Remote is almost impossible considering they don't let Junior developers work remote and looks like only option is to move abroad but hardly anyone sponsors VISA especially for a South Asian junior developer.

Am I stuck here forever?
It seems to really depend on the type of work that you are doing. If you write high level code using many external libraries in a language like Java, using an IDE can be a time saver. If you are write low level C code, I found that using an IDE does not seem to be that helpful. But that's just my 2c.
>Most of South Asia, and Africa drives Suzuki Altos, and Suzuki SX4s are considered there as big cars.

This is quite untrue about Africa. I doubt whether you've been to any country in Africa if you think that a Suzuki SX4 is considered a big car there. You'd get mocked for driving a "baby car" if you have an Alto.
> Passenger trains, trucks and ships are a different story.

In some countries, sure. But most rail in Japan is already electrified - 70% of the system [1]. The remainder would be low ridership routes, many of which the rail companies want to close - but if they don't, perhaps partially battery operated trains would be feasible - charge at every stop and at intermediate locations as needed.

Additionally, trucking routes in Japan are much shorter and slower than North America, making BEV trucks more feasible.

Ships I agree with you, hydrogen is likely best way forward

I think they were using "#lang system" as a synecdoche[0] for "Racket's language support". Racket's USP is definitely that it's a platform for language design and implementation[1].

On the other hand, I don't think it's a big deal they moved off of Racket. I actually think it's a success story that they were able to build on the platform and then move off.

Here in Ontario, Canada in a medium-sized city, the downtown core is littered with heritage properties. My friends own a home built around 1900 and they cannot alter the front in any significant way, and the interior woodwork of the front room is deemed heritage-signicant and has to be preserved as well. They got permission from the city to rebuild the front deck (a later addition anyway) as long as they literally just rebuilt it as-is. They knew that going in, and it is a beautiful majestic old building. I believe there are laws like that throughout Canada and the USA, though our town may be more aggressive than some places. It does sometimes lead to the kind of disrepair you speak of.
Do you have a source for that? Actually interested in reading into this.

Many content creators on YouTube succumb to creating a clickbait title because their video stats reveal which of their videos are popular. Naturally, this encourages the creator to make more videos on that theme or topic.

But how many videos on the same topic (in the same channel) can you regurgitate over and over? To give an example, how many videos on the topic of 'productivity' can you cram into the same channel? As many as possible it seems given the high subscriber counts for some channels that talk mostly about 'productivity'.

The somewhat uncomfortable truth is that the high subscriber counts for those channels prove clickbait titles work (as discussed in the video). The distinction between Type I and II clickbait titles in the video is useful though.

For programming channels, the clickbait tendency seems lower than other types of channels (based purely on anecdotal impressions). There is plenty of clickbait in the wider computing/technology channel space on YouTube.

This YouTube video is an honest look at creating content for YouTube from one Software Engineer (watch at 2x if the video is too long):

Perhaps I wasn't clear. The immune response inflicts damage that the body must repair. It's not free.

When you hear about chronic inflammation, that's not a healthy state.

We evolved an immune system because the alternative is vastly inferior. Immunocompromised individuals have a much harder time surviving (pathogens, cancers, etc.), especially without the aid of modern medicine. SCID is a disease where you can see the full ramifications.

What I'm saying is that the immune response itself is like fighting a war. Sometimes a war leaves scars that last. Over the course of a lifetime, these add up.
Yeah, I assumed it was going to be an in-memory comparison but that’s super misleading and doesn’t let one get a sense of the overhead of the system itself.
I believe this is the biggest misconception among automakers...that people like to buy multiple cars: city cars, long range cards and ...mountain cars? In reality people like the city car to be able to do long range trips as well as that's the only car they can afford/want to buy.

People don't want to buy two cars, one used 90% for everyday trips and the other 10% (i.e in holiday etc).
And with their track record...
