sure, i'm not talking about preventing vulnerable people from getting a serious case. This part seems to be working just fine, even in france. Hospitals aren't saturated anymore (except in some islands were people didn't vaccinate themselves for various reasons).

It seems to me that life could already be "back to normal" here, simply making sure old / obese people get regular shots.

It's the long-term strategy of wanting to get everyone a vaccine, including children who have close to 0 risks, in the hope of getting rid of the virus that i'm talking about.

gdb and rr are very useful for navigating a large, unfamiliar C and C++ codebases. Since these languages don't dictate how code is organized, the debugger can be the best tool for guiding you through the relevant code for your problem.
And even more, scan the HN thread from 16 days ago:

Why would the US government pay off peoples mortgages? Surely you don't think that is viable thing to spend public money on?

To be clear, I think the other ideas are great, except that one.
Your struggle is completely understandable. It goes even deeper with me. I struggle with how people can work for Apple/Facebook/Twitter/Google/Any Company? when you can create charts of the good vs bad impact they have. If one dwells to much on this, it leads to madness.
I went on vacation recently to a town with spotty electricity, no cell service for my carrier and barely functioning Internet. I didn't realize there would be no cell service or Internet on my vacation. I brought only books, binoculars, clothes, paper/pen, food and myself. I stayed in a motel/cabin kind of lodging and did a lot of mindless driving.

It was somewhat accidental forced unplugging/disconnecting.

Between work stress, COVID, and my own slight Asperger's, I struggle to get myself out of mental loops.

During this time away, my first few days, my dreams and every moment I closed my eyes was a flush of memories or thoughts of work. It almost felt like my brain was trying to process a backlog of stress and that process was "flushing" those thoughts (or brain chemistry) out.

I went hiking, read some, and mostly took it easy, walked around, ate and rested.

It took at least 3-4 days of a 8 day trip for my brain to barely start calming down. I had to keep repeating the "simpler activities" and just put out of mind literally everything else. I literally had to "escape" from my normal life entirely.

I don't say this to be run of the mill, I literally had this anecdotal experience but a few weeks ago.

I felt a little more like I had a handle on myself after this break, but only in a "just almost barely" kind of way. In other words, I had just started to come out of my loops and my fog, when my trip ended.

Just like the work had a lingering effect, so did taking the time off. I am back at work and finding myself going back to some of my loops, but my trip gave me a little break and opportunity to take some perspective.

Therefore, my non-scientific anectodal recommendation is to study your own rhythm and see how it changes when you disconnect or take a break, especially if it includes an aspect of "slightly forced disconnecting". If you can learn to become more self aware of the rhythms you experience or fall susceptible to, it might give you a chance to subtley shift or do something actively to tweak them in a way that helps you.

I think it helped me, at least temporarily.

Not everyone is the same as you. I enjoy immensely reading HN posts and comments related to politics, FAANG, social media, economics (where the comments are actually just about politics), drugs, or open-source drama.

No. You can copy without copy-and-paste. But, a blank line isn't enough to be a creative work.
I try to use a debugger whenever I can. Unfortunately, I develop on Linux, so the debugger situation here is awful. Basically almost all debuggers are based on gdb or lldb in true Unix fashion parsing text to generate a GUI... They tend to break really fast IME, since text doesn't provide good stability/reliability guarantees (no type checking, no nothing) and even when they do work, there is a lot of visual delay in the feedback loop, which makes them a pain to use.

Another problem is that often the debug builds of things at work run too slow to be practical, or they're too big to fit on the target device. My use of debugger at work usually boils down to getting and translating stack traces from core dumps we receive (on command line). There is a very rare occasion that I can do something on my local machine and then I use a debugger. Life is too short for 15-45 minute add logs + compile cycles. I also use bpftrace whenever I can.

At home I write Rust, but IME templates don't play well with the debugger, so I usually fall back on prints and bpftrace again.

But generally I'm convinced that using debuggers could be a big productivity boost. Here[1] you can see a demonstration of how smooth working with a debugger can be, in this case it's RemedyBG. But forget about this level of comfort on Linux. The whole video may be also worth watching if you like rants and want to see how Visual Studio debugger quality dipped over the years (first the current VS debugger is shown, and then an old version (from VS6 IIRC)).

Yes, all the time. Gdb or windbg, depending on the operating system I'm on at the time.
Ah rethink now? Past 20 years deaf ears? Ok. Cool.
AFAIK no such baseline exists that covers all aspects of law. Laws and their enforcement vary by location. Enforcement also differs by target entity. i.e. some corporations can get away with things that individuals sometimes can not. If you wanted to cover yourself, probably the best bet would be to create a business outline and describe what your website would do, what data it gathers, how it is stored, how long it is stored, who it could be shared with, etc... then review that with a lawyer that has experience with online businesses. There is probably a better answer, but that is all I can suggest. You might also try asking on SecurityExchange [1] and ensure you start with "Off topic, semi related..." People will likely refrain from answering legal questions, but they might share outlines of what infosec / audit / data-retention and data storage practices they follow as a starting point.

> FBI just adds the hashes to the database

This is the crux of the argument right here, and I have yet to see a detailed description of how the FBI would go about doing that.

The most detail I’ve seen is in this thread, which suggests that it would be difficult for the FBI to do it, or at least do it more than once.

https://twitter.com/pwnallthethings/status/14248736290037022...

Has anyone seen something like this in the other direction? Something that walks through “the FBI would do this, then this, etc. and now they’ve coopted Apple’s system”?
Your link and most of the concern is about known CSAM detection announced for iCloud Photo Library, yet, again, 2/3rds of the original letter was about iMessage. Point me to the expert consensus that the parental control features announced were a threat to end to end encryption.

The iMessage feature is a parental control feature where kids over 13 receiving on-device classified sensitive images have to click through to unblur them, and kids under 13 will do the same and also have their parents receive a notification that such an action was taken. The parent in any case does not receive a copy of the image. The EFF described it as such:

“Whatever Apple Calls It, It’s No Longer Secure Messaging”

and

“Apple is planning to build a backdoor into…its messaging system.”

The Center for Democracy and Technology who wrote this letter they have co-signed said:

“Plan to replace its industry-standard encrypted messaging system creates new risks in US and globally”

I, respectfully, don’t see much evidence that these are consensus views. Furthermore, I don’t see how you can characterize this feature as a back door without believing safe browsing checks on links received in iMessage is an encryption back door.
Stop downplaying your own abilities. My day job involves unfucking code written by people who think they’re smarter than they actually are. Write humble code, but stop thinking you’re dumb because of it.
Apple has released fairly detailed technical summaries of their system, far beyond what could be hidden behind "conflicting interpretations" of material written by a PR department. Have you read them? Are you claiming that Apple is lying?

If your contention is that Apple is lying now, then you have no reason to think Apple—or any other corporation for that matter—hasn't been lying about your data security for the past decade. Who knows, maybe Google Chrome is sending everyone's passwords in plain text to the NSA.

If your contention is that Apple might turn evil in the future, that charge could be levied against against any other company at any time. It's functionally unfalsifiable.

> I think my first iteration used bubble sort. That was still faster than a sort | head script, by a lot.

Haha! Gotta get Barack Obama to give you some algorithms lessons.

Thinking about it further, the initial heapify phase of heapsort is linear-time, and it's the later heap-popping phase that takes most of the runtime; if the command-line `sort` used heapsort for in-memory data, maybe `sort | head` would have been competitive or even faster? At least for n>32 or so? The usual algorithm for `sort` is mergesort, because that makes it perform acceptably for things that don't fit in RAM, but mergesort has to do most of its work before it can start producing output.
Please stop posting these rants. Hounding someone like this after you already personally attacked them is crossing into harassment. I already asked you to stop once, and you've responded by doing more of it, not once but twice. Seriously not cool.

that's a very different take on the situation than what israel experts were saying just a few months ago. They reopened everything thanking the vaccine for that, and being happy of being the first country to heavily bet on mass vaccination.
(note that the country is closed to people who don't have a pass, and people have to quarantine when they arrive).

It looks a bit like they're changing the narrative now that the next wave is coming, saying vaccination rates aren't high enough after all (i'm curious to see one expert provide a definitive number on the "good enough" threshold, based on models or anything else, but maybe 100% it is ?)
Interesting. It seems that this was actually a concern and considered during initial development of COVID vaccines. It seems it was considered not likely to happen but there is this interesting part here from 2019 that caught my attention:

"Consensus summary report for CEPI/BC March 12–13, 2020 meeting: Assessment of risk of disease enhancement with COVID-19 vaccines"

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7247514/

"A syndrome of “disease enhancement” has been reported in the past for a few viral vaccines where those immunized suffered increased severity or death when they later encountered the virus or were found to have an increased frequency of infection. Animal models allowed scientists to determine the underlying mechanism for the former in the case of Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine and have been utilized to design and screen new RSV vaccine candidates. Because some Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and SARS-CoV-1 vaccines have shown evidence of disease enhancement in some animal models, this is a particular concern for SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.

To address this challenge, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and the Brighton Collaboration (BC) Safety Platform for Emergency vACcines (SPEAC) convened a scientific working meeting on March 12 and 13, 2020 of experts in the field of vaccine immunology and coronaviruses to consider what vaccine designs could reduce safety concerns and how animal models and immunological assessments in early clinical trials can help to assess the risk. This report summarizes the evidence presented and provides considerations for safety assessment of COVID-19 vaccine candidates in accelerated vaccine development."

However i can't say the sky is not falling - it concerns me that this form of payment cancel culture will spread, and will be weaponized beyond the issues brought up for reasons to block PH and OF -

So long as it's easy for the V/MC mafia to boot places like them with out worrying about new competition or regulation, it will likely continue to be used in more nefarious campaigns of cancel in the future.

well ran large adult companies may enjoy the moat effects of smaller processing pools with higher fees, and I am glad to see paypal now accepting adult things..

However the higher fees and the smaller pool of processors willing to accept business with adult sites puts smaller and newer publishers at a huge disadvantage. Playboy may absorb the high fees and have no trouble finding banks willing to take their money - but the average wanna-be independent OF type influencer or independent cam girl will be set with high fees and lack of options for processing.

The small player must also be more worried about being cancelled and having their whole financial means terminated on a whim with no recourse - and to think that it would be easy for these companies to brush it off.

Not that I think v/MC should be forced by regulation to get money for every rando on the net with a cam - but we should be looking for easier alternatives for smaller groups to avoid being unbanked by a vocal minority.

I don't know if the answer is easier crypto, or some sort of rules to say if you process visa / mc you must also take some non-partisan cards / accounts that do not rely on credit ratings / moral objections - and not charge big fees - or something else entirely - but it's something I think is worth worrying about at this point.
Before anyone draws the wrong conclusions...

78.8% of the population above 12 are vaccinated. The remaining 21.2% make up about 40% of all hospitalizations.

The vaccines are incredibly effective and the situation in Israel does by no means indicate that they are not.

Edit: Fixed 11.2% to 21.2%.
As someone that worked in kitchens for years, this is backwards. The environments are already like this and the media simply describe it.

My personal theory is that kitchen jobs attract a certain sort of person: ones with short attention spans (making a dish is immediately rewarding) and those that couldn’t get a “real job” due to tattoos, drug use, alcoholism, etc. etc. This all adds up to a more variable group of people than the white collar academic media class considers normal.

Very few of the eng orgs have policies against remote work. Even TI supports it, despite whinging over Urs' statements. I'm also not aware of any manager who'd reject an internal xfer who had a record of good performance for remote work.

Would I like to see more to support remote work? Yes. It feels ridiculous to me that the folks in Sales don't have the same options. But from the actual data collected most people in a position to work remotely have access to it.

Hah, that sounds like a lie you tell yourself. As if Germans are unable to work long hours and with intensity. But doing so will not increase the salary you get anyways. It _is_ dictated by the local market.
Wild assertions without data or references are simply trolling.
There are saliva tests, which is probably as non-invasive as it gets. They're currently not quite as accurate (about 95%) as nasal swab tests (99%, if applied correctly) but still good enough to catch most infections. The biggest problem with these tests probably is getting a proper sample.

Still, that's at least by orders of magnitude better than simply doing nothing. Besides, an accuracy >= 95% with results in less than 15 minutes isn't that bad at all already.
The whole grill coming up and the fact it’s so load/unload friendly is a game changer for people who daily drive a truck.

Wow. That's an uncharitable interpretation. The way I see it it's just a guy sharing his ideas on his personal website while making it clear that the ideas are not to be taken as scientific claims.
Under 60 is not a specific enough age group for comparison of vaccinated vs unvaccinated cases. A 55 year old and a 12 year old have vastly different odds of serious disease, so much so that an unvaccinated 12 year old is less likely to get severe disease than a vaccinated 55 year old.

This easily could be biased by the older end of that range being significantly more vaccinated than the younger end.

If you want to compare vaccinated efficacy, look for 10 year age group comparisons. Anything else is really leaving you wide open to misleading interpretations.
Because this hypothesis has already been shown to be false numerous times.
I hear this from time to time. But does it apply universally to all companies, including FAANG's? If you are at a FAANG and can't move to another FAANG then is there any chance of getting even a bump in salary?
Great question. It sounds like it should have an obvious answer (what kind of crazy person wouldn't use a debugger?!), but now that I think about it, there's many situations where I still use print debugging:

- In C++, setting up a (visual) debugger is often non-trivial, and the quality of debugging is naturally lower than in higher-level languages. So I tend to get along with print. Some bugs absolutely require the debugger though.

- With WASM I tried to get the Chrome debugger to function but gave up. Not sure it works yet.

- In Python, usually I am executing small scripts via the command line, outside an IDE, so I just resort to print statements.

To be clear none of these are my primary programming language. If I was spending significant amounts of time in front of a language I would give JetBrains however much money they asked for to get a real IDE and debugger.

Generally I don't find command-based debuggers to be that compelling, it feels like writing text with `ed`. When I do take the time to set up a visual debugger it is a significant productivity multiplier.
Working hard like that isn't really rewarded working for software in Germany, which is why people don't do it as much. If you work hard as a lawyer in Germany, you might make partner or something, which is why lawyers are prepared to do a lot of hours. If you work hard in software, you just get more work.

And there are actually plenty of crappy jobs with overtime in Germany too. Lower pay does not always mean less expectations.
