How would you define age here? Last time visited?

I have thought about introducing a way to increase score based on "recentness". There is one problem with the history in general, though: It's quite expensive to load a big browsing history so the plugin will only get a fixed amount of history for a few days back.
This is configurable, but I don't think it would scale back as long ago as you're hinting at.
My understanding is that the vaccines are mainly here to avoid you to die or to require severe ventilation and, based on the available studies, they are doing the job.

The hospitalisation rates are way lower than any previous wave but the law of big numbers still apply at some point... And the Delta variant is clearly a game change here.

Finally, Israel is in a peculiar position because they have vaccinated - relatively speaking - quite a while ago so protection migh be indeed waning and the overall % is not that high (pretty surprised tbh).

Agreed; It’s misleading if that’s not the topic of the article. Here is the relevant section…

Super fruit

One innovative group are not only trying to find new ways to power our devices, but also tackle the issue of food waste at the same time. Vincent Gomes, a chemical engineer at the University of Sydney, and his team, including Labna Shabnam, are turning waste from the world’s smelliest fruit, durian, and the world’s largest fruit, jackfruit, into a supercapacitor that can charge mobile phones, tablets and laptops within minutes.

If this was a sterilizing vaccine, such that you couldn't spread the virus or be infected after taking it I'd say neither are okay, religious or otherwise, because your personal choice has the potential to affect a wide range of people by getting them sick, making your personal choice not so personal. Your rights end where mine begin and all of that.

You shouldn't be able to spread a virus to others without consequences if there is a low risk way to completely eliminate that chance. Bodily autonomy is not an excuse to prolong a deadly pandemic especially because in this instance, this type of bodily autonomy doesn't come without large measurable consequences to society at large.

The wifi whitelist has been around for a long time, and the "cracks" for disabling it, roughly as long. Here are some older sites discussing it:

http://www.paul.sladen.org/thinkpad-r31/wifi-card-pci-ids.ht...

https://www.endeer.cz/bios.tools/bios.html

(Note in the second link, old-school 16-bit BIOS code, beautifully compact and probably written in Asm; none of the bloated compiler output typical of UEFI.)

This final fix required modifying only two bytes of the BIOS to disable the wifi card whitelist

Of course, finding which bytes to modify is the hard part; which brings to mind the various tales about the cost of coming up with the solution vs executing it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2069275

I notice one of them is a NOP (90), so it's probably possible to do this fix in 1 byte --- find the jump and either set its offset to 0 so it will never jump, or force it to jump by replacing the 7x with EB. This was all day-to-day when I was in the cracking scene decades ago.

You wrote: Today, it’s just an artifact. Online newspapers including the NYT routinely edit pages without indicating that they have done so, which is not the same as a correction.

That lists four articles. For yesterday's edition.

It's funny you say this, because I think everyone would actually agree that I have a strong First Amendment free speech right to tell you what to do with your body. Similarly, businesses and institutions have a First Amendment right (the right of association) to choose who they do business with.
Because most of the effect of vaccines is their effect en masse. It's a solution lying almost entirely within the realm of collective action, so it's a test of whether we're collectively smart enough to implement a rational collective solution, which includes using some degree of coercive measures to achieve it.

Basically, if we let a pandemic kill millions because a fetish for personal choice prevents us from doing what's necessary to prevent it, we're too fucking stupid to survive as a species. That doesn't have to mean going to door-to-door with guns and needles; getting to the critical mass we need just means refusing to let the stupidly unvaccinated into a variety of public venues like airplanes and universities long enough to make them get the vaccine.
The original standard the CDC decided to use before we had data on any of the vaccines was that 50% protection would be the threshhold for "effective"; although I am not sure what level of infection they were planning on measuring (e.g. the vaccines appear more effective at preventing severe disease than symptomatic, and symptomatic than asymptomatic).
I’ve been using DuckDuckGo as my default search engine on all devices for years. I’ve never had a problem finding what I’m looking for and have never felt the need to use a different search engine to get different results. YMMV.
> How did we get to a point where we think it’s OK to tell someone what they should do with their body?

That’s absolutely not new in any way? Public health has always been a force majeure trigger.

> Why is one of those OK and the other isn’t?

They’re not, but it can be quite difficult to impossible to push back against religious communities as they’ve managed to carve out lots of assumptions that you’re supposed to respect whatever they choose out of nowhere.
(commenting specifically in the context of a personal information collection)

Schema-on-write increases the cost (mental load, time) of finding useful things in the first place, which isn't always what you want. I happen upon an interesting HN article (like this) and (like the author) dump it in my "later" pile - often that's during a little ADHD-brain distraction, where I just browse and read for a few mins before jumping back into a piece of work. I specifically DO NOT want extra cognitive load at that point.

The balance is always a bit of both - sometimes organise, sometimes defer it. But always allocate some time for "emptying" those queues, lists, inboxes, etc - that's the critical part of staying organised and usually the hardest.

The worst temptation is to automate the process - eg. "I'll auto-import all my data into organised tables" or "I'll use ML to automatically tag stuff" - that's fine, but the purpose is to help you learn and remember, and that automation will just create even more data for your "to look at later" pile.

I'm having some joy using Obsidian - it's so quick for creating interlinked documents and notes, task lists, etc, and from a technical PoV they're all just plain Markdown documents stored in Dropbox - future-proof and device-proof.
This is why normally I err on the side of complaining at "anti-IDE" people since my setup is way more minimalist than most of theirs so at least I'm complaining about people who're theoretically on the same side :)

the main trick here is building a habit. of course some times I do a boxingtinmer.org 6x2min with 1min pauses that I use to do other routines - ~30min where you sweat insanely, sometimes I continue after my 3min timer rings just because once you start seeing and more importantly feeling the results it's just fun to push yourself. the important thing is the discipline to do not less than 3min and every day

The last stat I saw was from Israel, and it was that vaccinated people who had never had COVID were ~6-7x more likely to be infected than unvaccinated people who had previously been confirmed to have had it in the past.
I'm actually ok with discrete pay.

I get that it's culturally difficult to lower salaries so companies don't feel comfortable paying very large salaries as they'll never be able to reduce them in lean years.

Bonuses/RSUs/etc seem like perfectly reasonable ways to pay people what they deserve without paying unsustainable high salaries that are very difficult to ever decrease if times get tough or if high performance is no longer achieved.
To the point where they not only refuse the vaccines, but take Ivermectin, an anti-parasatic proven for farm livestock because the buzz in the conservative monkeysphere says it's a cure-all.
Students switching from this to a "real world language" would be disappointed if it does not have Algebraic Data Types, pretty sure about this. Once you learned about them in SML, OCaml, Haskell or one of their descendants, which include Pyret, Elm, ReasonML/ReScript, Rust and Purescript, you feel lucky if you can use Kotlin and approximate them with sealed classes. We will see, maybe C++, Java and C# add them in the next 5 years.

I'm not precisely sure this where the article's text contains a well-supported legal argument about why the mandate is unconstitutional -- in fact I don't believe there's any discussion at all of the relevant statutes & case law? A link to the decision itself would probably provide more of that information.

Not gp, but when I was a kid, I remember playing with my peers in a sandbox. We built a sand military complex and had few military equipment units as well. Half (if not most) of the time we negotiated what these can and cannot do against an enemy and a landscape, and whether it is able to go over this or that hill. (It can, no it cannot, no it can, I’ve seen on the tv). The play continued only after physics were settled or we fought irl. We were not in the age when you know much about it, it was just a negotiation, because otherwise it would be a quickly escalating anarchy which everyone avoided. Simply ignoring the settled rules was highly disrespected (we will not play with him, etc).
So those are good points, but I think you're missing the meaning of the term 'Principled' possibly given distraction by the examples that I gave.

We can make populist, emotional, political, purely rational and technical appeals, but 'principled' is the approach that I believe should be taken.

It shouldn't even be remotely controversial to say that.

While 'Blue' is less subjective that 'Guilty' we have 'Principled' ways of assessing those things outside the context of hyperbole.

While 'guilty' has much more broad meaning that simply the notion of 'legal guilt' as you're implying, even within that context we can absolutely make objective determination (or try to) given legal parameters aka: Murder is illegal, we have a video of a man shooting someone and killing them, he's admitted to doing it ergo -> he is 'guilty' in a very objective sense.

A 'principled' approach would involve trying to assess if there's material objectivity to the degree something is offensive, weighing the gravity of the change, listening to those who are personally aggrieved and trying to determine why, contextualizing the information and making an assessment etc..

An 'unprincipled' approach would be making a decision that appealed so some kind of populist emotion, virtue signalling (in either direction), placating the powerful, ignoring facts, appeasing the loudest voices, doing what 'Twitter' is pressuring to do, caving to threats, applying oddball ideologies, over representing or poorly contextualizing information etc..

They said it was "no standard quadcopter" due to it's capabilities.

In the report[1] they explicitly list it has as a rotocraft with an unknown (-1) number of rotors. They also list the UAS type as "quadcopter". At one point in the article they describe it as "hovering"

This works surprisingly well.

I end up just doing both - having one table store the blob, and another with the copied values (shopify_sales, shopify_sales_jsonb).

Databases are generally pretty good at handling large BLOBS/off-page heap values, but I prefer not to tempt the fates of buffer pool management.
This shadowy India/Canada international education contrasts heavily with the exchange programs (also international education) in EU, which are normally some of the best experiences in people's life. The way it works here with the Erasmus program is that you go for 6 months or 1 year to study to a "partner" University, and a student from that University comes to yours. Both students pay the local price instead of the destination price so it keeps costing the same as other years; which is also normally not a big deal since they are both likely free (in most of EU, public free Universities are better than private ones, at least for STEM).

I'm not sure if this was intended as a reply to my comment.

In any case, I would suggest that a language be powerful and simple enough that it can do a wide range of tasks including teaching children, GUI apps, web apps, AI research, scripting, etc. Python does this and Pyret should aspire to do it too.
For sure not. When I worked at a multinational very big company in Europe, and my manager requested to add this little feature to track all users, of course I refused citing the law and regulations. Certainly no smile of complicity. What he got was a top 10 list of best performers, but not the list of the worst performers.
If you're taking a JSON API response structure and creating an exact 1-to-1 mapping to a SQL schema, you're doing schema on write.

If you store the JSON in a JSONB column, and then create projections as needed by parsing fields from the BLOB, then you have schema on read.
Theoretically, yes. I’ve used stratified sampling in this kind of research, since the underlying portfolio is so skewed.

Private institutions. George Mason University is a public school and the situation for this professor is actually the exact opposite of what you seem to be claiming here.

I recommend you also teach "precedence climbing", which is basically a slight refactoring of RD to parameterise the recursive functions by level so that grammars with many levels don't require proportionally deep call stacks and it also massively reduces the duplication of code at each level:

I personally appreciate when languages have a consistent style. I think on the whole it helps readability more than it hurts.

We're enforcing whitespace around infix operators in Vale, and it's working pretty well. It's also enabling us to use <> for generics with no ambiguity =)
I don't think that's super clear - it seems to have covered somewhat over 20 miles but more importantly passed over a substantial (4k feet prominent) mountain ridge. That would make reliable control by line of sight radio very suspect and I don't think the operator would have risked it unless they had control by satellite or a high degree of confidence in its autonomous capability. Around the point it passes over the ridge the pilots briefly speculate that it may have encountered some kind of control problem due to its behavior, so perhaps it was being controlled from the ground with an autonomous safety capability... but that still indicates a high level of logistical sophistication since it departed the scene away from where the operator would have been (if we go on the autonomous safety theory it was presumably returning to autonomously land at a site north of Tucson?).
In fact, you are, in the US, allowed to refuse service to someone based on their tattoos or hairstyle [0]. The only prohibition in general on refusing service is to protected classes such as race or sex.

So now we can refuse service to someone with a tattoo we dislike, but not because they're unvaccinated? We don't deserve to survive as a species if we're that fucking dumb.

This is a really great point. We do have some early thoughts around the idea of the interface being responsive to "distance from user" as opposed to "screen size". The chat interface, for instance, will change in size depending on how far away from the device the user is.

This doesn't change the particular problem you noted, but the general issue is an interesting space to dig into.
No.

You are blaming the experts in epidemiology for not being able to overcome political agendas, cable news propaganda, ignorant people, and a lack of trust in “the establishment” (which includes the FDA and CDC) caused by all of the above. The PR article was for medical professionals.

Americans on social media have become far too gullible. They can’t be bothered to fact check and they sure aren’t going to the source material. This is not a problem the CDC’s comma team could have prevented.
I am a heavy user of tikz and had a love-hate relationship with it. Have been using it since 2009. It takes time to learn and easy to forget.

Documentation is so great that you are sure you will find an answer. TeX.SE is also very helpful. The quality of graphics produced is stunning that I never manage to like alternatives. The control it gives you over your drawings is enormous. Heck, I can have Sam font in my text and diagram!

I remember spending 5 hours on the first drawing I made in Tikz for a research paper. My coauthor was amused. He thought it would have taken max 30 mins if I used a 'normal tool'. But he was impressed by neatly rotated text, scaling and alignment. Pity that I coundnt play with colors since IEEE accepted b/w images back then.
