> you absolutely can't trust them to write a kernel-mode driver without completely screwing everything up

Absolutely. The overwhelming majority of hardware companies are not competent enough to write drivers of any kind. They're not even competent enough to write user space software. They treat software as a cost center. To them software's just wasted money, to be made as cheaply as possible and only because they have to.

Linux kernel is great as a litmus test. If a company can't get a driver into the kernel it shouldn't be trusted with writing drivers of any kind.

AWS MemoryDB – 'Worst' AWS service ever?
My god, the web has become so garbage that we're going back to web directories...
Correct - I think there's a misunderstanding here. The reason why the OP that you replied to wants to wait is certainly to be more safe of side effects.

In this context it is not as relevant how long the median time is for side-effects to show, but rather how long it takes before the vaccine is no longer used.

When you said "visible" I assumed you mean visible to the OP - but you meant visible in general. So you are not wrong, but as we can see from the case of Pandremix, a median of 42 made it take two years before the usage of the vaccine was stopped.

There are a lot of reasons why it would probably be different in the case of covid (e.g. more media presence from the beginning) but in general, you cannot directly compare thus number (like the 42 days) with the 4 years of the OP.
That's why I'd rather use Amazon/online stores to buy myself repair gear than pay hundreds per year for mountain bike maintenance. Similar cost at the beginning but much better in the long run.

It feels somewhat disingenuous to include a turing-complete meta-programming language (i.e macros) in your definition of the C++ type system.

Because vanilla OCaml doesn't have any mechanism for expressing compile-time computations, the same level of transformations aren't possible, but I wouldn't call this a limitation of the type-system, rather the meta-programming capabilities.

Although, you can somewhat approximate it with modules and functors:

module type M = sig type t val t: t end

let my_type (type a) (v: a) : (module M) =
let module M = struct
type t = a
let t = v
end in
(module M : M)

module T1 = (val my_type 123)
type t1 = T1.t
let val1 : t1 = T1.t
module T2 = (val my_type val1)
type t2 = T2.t

It's funny that the Tesla engineers are sharing data with him, since they are suing repair shops that repair Teslas. Time for class action lawsuit, methinks.
You seem to be conflating a number of very different issues. It would be a lot simpler if you didn’t do that.

There are several separate questions. 1) Should users have the right to opt out of scanning. Apple have answered (1) in the affirmative: yes, they understand that some users want this option and have designed their system with explicit guarantees that users can do this. This is not an accident or a miscalculation on Apple’s part. They clearly understand that forcing this scanning on non-consenting users is unacceptable and their marketing copy makes this clear.

The second question (2) is whether Apple’s compromise to preserve user privacy (allowing users to disable photo sync while providing no third-party alternatives with equivalent feature sets) is acceptable. Apple presumably thinks it is. I think that disabling Apple’s photo sync features will not be acceptable — and indeed will be actively harmful to some users. We can disagree about whether this matters but this is the heart of the disagreement. Having strong opinions doesn’t settle the question, it just demonstrates that the issue is contentious. Settling the issue requires user surveys and an economic analysis at minimum, not opinions on HN.

Then there is a third point (3): does Apple have any obligation to provide opt-out users with alternative services that bring their devices back to the full functionality that they possessed when the devices were purchased. Your view is that “this is not worth it to Apple.” We do not disagree. My claim is that Apple’s view on the issue is not necessarily the final world on the issue. Apple also believes that they should have a monopoly on app distribution and many other aspects that define the iOS experience. These views are disputed and there is no “correct” answer. My claim is that the operation of cloud infrastructure should be a part of this dispute, and Apple’s decision to make their system “opt in” should be viewed as such in light of the fact that Apple controls essential features in such a way that Apple can effectively hobble the device of any user who declines to consent, with no recourse or alternative available to the user.

I think your response to this has to grapple with Apple’s very clear argument on (1). Which means that “Apple can do whatever it wants because they’re powerful” isn’t a sufficient response. And if the rest of your answer revolves around unsupported hypotheses about what Apple users expected, then you should probably come back with some strong evidence like user surveys to support those claims.

My personal long-standing wish is querying categories, in which the pages have the same infoboxes, by the fields in the boxes. Preferably without waiting to download dozens or hundreds of pages first.

The infobox→Wikidata integration would pretty much solve that (not the other way around), and I'm told that the Wikidata Bridge project aims to do that integration: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_Bridge

However, if someone made a different database that would be queryable tomorrow, I wouldn't mind.
Good luck making a copy of a security key - most are designed to prevent that (for valid-ish reasons) and the only other option (always enroll two keys) has a host of other problems, especially since in the "always carry two" case you need to also keep a third one at home.
> would be over 500K people, which seems absurdly high

It's quite possible. Depression and suicides and overdoses are up significantly. Cancer and heart disease are up from lack of screenings and treatments now delayed and backlogged by over a year. Obesity is way up from closing gyms and sitting at home consuming Ubereats.

I'm not venturing guesses on the magnitude of those factors, some of which won't play out for years. And you're right that any such claim needs to provide a lot more detail. But it's quite possible that the cumulative human toll of the lockdowns will indeed be worse than that of Covid itself.
You mean put the bicycles on the same sidewalks as the pedestrians? Maybe it sounds like a good idea to you but to someone who lives in the Netherlands that sounds completely insane.

Unless you meant something like [1] or [2] where there is a raised bicycle lane effectively on the sidewalk.

But even if they're part of the road that's not necessarily a problem [3], but in that case you'll want to have a reasonable speed limit (that sign on the road is 30 km/h, not 30mph) and you'll have to teach cars they're supposed to just be patient and slow down if they can't overtake.

Letters in Response to “War and Peace, a Buddhist Perspective” (2015)
There's nutpicking and then there's having your movement taken over by nuts.

The public face of BLM at its peak, for better or worse, featured a large number of nuts. Like your bro in Seattle there. Or those CHAZ people, also Seattle, who actually killed 3 black guys in as many weeks as part of their black lives matter protest. In the mainstream, anyone who acknowledged black-on-black crime or said that rioting might be a bad PR look was called a fifth column or concern troll.

Mob mentality is a thing, I'm not perfect either but a lot of people got carried away.
Even masks. Because covid is here forever and people need to accept that and live with it.
It was an option for China. They allowed international travel but disallowed inter province travel.
You are under impression that your skill in fixing things is free. Vast majority of people can not change break pads, can not understand a youtube video explaining how, can not oil a chain, can not fix a flat. Ability to problem solve and fix things is how a trade person of handyman can make very good money, as even using a stud finder and putting a screw in the wall is arcane magic to lots of people.

This is tragic but this is current state of western civilization. Bring Shop back to school.
I'm okay with that. Think it's dumb but it's your school, not mine. My 3-year-old's preschool requires masks and it's fine. Was a bit of an adjustment (they were not required to wear one last year, as 2's) but over the first 2 weeks of school you can see the whole class going from 1 little girl who wore one last year (even though not required) to about half the class wearing them at the start of this year, to everyone just doing it automatically. My kid will even ask for his mask if we're going out to the playground now.
That's a point.

Decentralized IRC has very limited use cases. Battle.NET or "Worms" video-game servers are a good use of decentralized IRC, as is the coordination of botnet swarms. (Turns out that IRC is very simple and robust) Decentralized video game servers (think Quake) probably could be built off of IRC protocol as well.

But there's limited use in hooking up these decentralized sources to a central IRC chat.

---------

For humans who want to chat, the primary services are:

* Identity -- A 3rd party proves that people are who they say they are (be it Steam-identity, Facebook, or NameServ in IRC). Long-term conversations need trusted identities.

* Channels -- Discord Servers, Facebook groups, Reddit Subreddits. You split up the community into silos that shares the same identify servers, so that groups of people can moderate topics of conversation and practically steer these "online eternal meetings" towards their intended purpose. (Often: to coordinate open source projects, but maybe just talk about C++)

The larger the "surface" of your identity, the better. And the more channels with more (useful) humans to communicate with, the better a chat gets.

As such, IRC-for-chat purposes naturally lends itself to centralization. Its mostly economic, and a little bit political (again: them dark-web Botnets are IRC-based, and politics of the internet means that web administrators should shut those down).

By centralizing chat, you centralize policing. (Good luck starting up a botnet on Libra.irc) You also centralize the channels and identity services. So #RandomFooBar project's identities can be shared with a big #Ubuntu channel's identity.
https://cryptocurrencyfacts.com/what-are-sats/

“Sats” is short for Satoshis, the smallest unit of Bitcoin (BTC). One Satoshi (sat) is equal to 0.00000001 BTC (one hundred millionth of a Bitcoin). In other words, there are 100,000,000 satoshis in a Bitcoin.
This unit’s name is derived from the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.

Are these the sats in question?

Australian bank cards like Westpac work fine in Google Pay, its not like they're locked into bank apps.

Chiming in late here, also had tinnitus with Bupropion, which remained for months even after I stopped taking it. Lowered my job performance because of it, never had any prior or posterior issues with other amphetamine-like medication (ritalin & vyvanse). I found relief in corticosteroids (combined pill of betametasone + chlorphenamine), which made the tinnitus disappear in a week. Now if it comes back it's very minor and I can ignore it, or go through a short course of medication again to make it go away for a couple of weeks.
Oh, and keep out of some noise cancelling headphones, they make it worse for some reason.
Materials probably play a role in that. When I was in the biz we still had steel bikes, so the answer was sometimes just a new fork, if the bike was worth more than the parts and labor. When it’s in the cusp we recommended an upsell, because why spend all that money on an old bike you’ve already broken once? For some in particular we knew they would break them again, and there’s a happy medium of repairable and reasonable. One guy had a death wish and a dad who owned a bunch of businesses. He broke so much gear and that guy (or his dad rather) was keeping everyone else’s prices lower.

Everything is physics. We break apart chemistry as it’s own subject not because there is a clean line separating protean folding etc, but rather for historical reasons. Stick a lead bar in a particle accelerator and it’s Physics stick a hand in and it’s Radiology.

Material science, Chemistry, and Astronomy really cover most of the obvious areas physics could expand into.

Do you have a source for “very likely”? I’m at “plausibly escaped from” so far and would be interested in evidence that changes that in either direction.
Hawaii is a state, not a sovereign country - locking down domestic interstate travel and trade is much harder than locking don international travel.
Obviously I can't speak to your own personal experience, but I've done a surprising amount of biking on streets that have added bikes lanes, and my experience is that the bike lanes tend to improve my subjective experience of biking on those streets substantially. Many of those streets, to be fair, have bike lines that are shifted 3+ feet away from the parking lane, with stripes to indicate the door zone -- which is a huge benefit, frankly, over the streets that don't have this. Another change that I'm 100% in favor of is the removal of a traffic lane to allow this: this often enables right-turns to be explicitly marked as crossing a bike lane, and drivers tend to be more careful there (again, just my experience).

I've also biked on streets that became "super sharrow" streets: one lane striped with a giant green stripe that supposedly provides a big visual indicator that a bike can use the full lane. This was terrible.

> We should have more bike infrastructure, but putting money into this garbage is a mistake.

What bike infrastructure would you like to see, if not bike lanes?
If you're talking about sidewalks with separated pedestrian and cyclist traffic, some bike lanes are effectively that (e.g. raised to sidewalk level, left turn boxes on the right instead of forcing bikes to cut across traffic). They don't seem to be very common. Perhaps it's because it is a newer idea that people are unfamiliar with or maybe it is because it is less expensive to take some space from oversized lanes than it is to widen sidewalks.
Hmm, when I was working on one of these customer facing websites the support popup was quite literally directly connected to me (very small company) until we integrated it with the real support system (still just me and one or two other people).

I'm tempted to agree with Carmack here, having worked at a now-defunct self driving project previously that used multiple server-grade GPUs and many-core CPUs pulling 1000+W in their car that couldn't even figure out how to move around a car that was parallel parked too far out in the road.

> If you drunk 500 bottles of 0.5% a/v beer in 10 minutes it would likely have some effect.

If you drank the same amount of 0% ABV water in that time, you’d probably die of water intoxication, so I’m not sure any adverse effects of the alcohol would be noticeable.
and if my kid asked to wear a mask I’d tell them it is unnecessary, they aren’t gonna die of covid and just because everybody else does it doesn’t make it right. Peer pressure isn’t always good.

Kids don’t need masks. End of story.
I think you are referring to Windows Superfetch.

It helps to load the required pages into memory fast to enhance application launch times and then usual memory paging handles the rest of keeping required paths in memory.

Google says Windows\Prefetch is the directory for the cache. You could look here and see if there are any references to applications rather than just windows boot stuff.
It worked pretty well for Thailand, a country with 3k of land borders that people can and do walk across. Delta seems to have changed the calculus though
Smart people are also better at rationalizing their behavior than they are at listening.
I mean, most of the reason why this works is because Python doesn't care about type safety in the slightest. There's a reason why more strongly-typed languages would outright disallow a program like this: it's not only unsafe, it's outright incorrect. The ASCII symbol for '-' is not a suitable analog for our concept of 'negative'
THIS ^^^. My two-cents: 90% of recent "bike lane" implementations in my area and the whole "share the road" concept is bullshit. This is just aggravating drivers and giving a false sense of safety to bicyclists. Cars and bicycles don't mix.
Very good answer. The key difference is the size it also offers you much more flexibility it would seem in terms of the role you can fill. You can always add more blimps.
If you don’t have time to do those things, then the most reasonable thing to do is to assume that the results of those things still hold true.

In other words, whoever makes a claim that things have changed better provide a reason why it is reasonable to think things have changed. Typically that comes in data.

>Bin Laden in cooperation with the US and then hope the ramifications from Bin Laden's people are minimal and the US is satisfied to then leave you alone.

They could have negotiated the kinds of overt military support CIA installed South American despots could only dream of for the low, low price of treating Al Qaeda the way western democracies who are accountable to western voters could never treat them.

With the US's "aid" they could have consolidated power over the nation and legitimized themselves on the world stage. All they had to do was say "we'll turn over the terrorists but we need your help". We'd have gladly held our noses and given them training and equipment so long as they rooted out Al Qaeda. Of course the Taliban didn't want to be a puppet state or a client state. But we didn't want to engage in nation building. It would have been a perfect one night stand.

Hindsight is 20-20.
In the interest of the common good:

The article is not about how attitudes towards collectivism/individualism have changed over time and what effects this has had.

It starts out talking about how people would recycle tinfoil during WW2 to make planes, then quickly shifts into yet another banal rant about how anti-maskers are bad dumb idiots who want to kill everyone else and the author is good and smart and better than everyone else because they wear a mask.

Unlike a uniform masks cover the most important way humans express emotion. That alone is enough reason to not require kids to wear them.

The justification for kids wearing masks is so paper thin with so little attention paid to what emotional and development effects it has on the kids… it boggles my mind. Supporting kids in masks is intellectually and morally bankrupt.

And to the people downvoting me and gaslighting me… you are part of the problem. I have a right to feel the way I do, which is reason enough to never, ever force parents to mask their kids in order to get public education. It should be the parents choice, period.
"small", "remote", and "island" aren't significant direct contributions here.

"seal" does -- whether any group is collectively capable of taking chain-of-exposure and its management seriously.

Make your island arbitrarily small and remote but have even a single person who's boating/flying or any kind of unmanaged travel outside the bubble regularly and you'll see infection overrun the island.

Pick an arbitrarily large city within miles of another on a shared continent with an unmanaged pandemic. Have it populated with people who are unified in careful contact management and they'll keep outbreaks scarce and small.

No this is extremely misleading, the misquote you are using applies only to breakthrough infections, but the vaccines themselves are highly effective at preventing infection and thus breakthrough infections are very rare in vaccinated individuals.

Should you happen to not mount a robust immune response despite being vaccinated then at that point you will have a viral load similar to an unvaccinated person, but the good news is even if this is the case you will still have much less severe disease outcomes than an unvaccinated person.

The vaccines are incredibly effective against all current variants.
