There are also many use cases where a network service would use per-user SQLite files, which can support concurrent reads from multiple processes (but global write locks). If all processes accessing the file are on the same host, you can also enable a WAL but that has its own pros/cons.

Sqlite is a beast, there's a lot you can do with it. But there's no shared buffer cache or strategy for keeping disk pages in-memory across transactions and files, so you pay for it with random disk I/O access proportionate to your client load. But for many workloads, it's a really low-maintenance option with lots of low tech and effort back-up/disaster recovery options and depending on how chatty your clients are you can get a lot out of modern hardware/clouds.

You could also get clever, and provide pure in-memory access when pinning clients to hosts and treat it like a write-through cache.
It does, but it's absolutely spot on.

Especially the part about daily writing.
This article only make statements without references, which is troublesome. I agree with the recommendation to be careful of what you share, but just because it’s an article written by a medical doctor/institution, it doesn’t give it a free pass. I can show you articles of many other doctors and institutions contradicting many of these statements related to PCR.

Also interesting to note:
“ Every PCR test must be validated, meaning checked for its sensitivity and specificity.”

How is this tested? Against which gold standard?

So many questions are left open still…
Many people are working jobs they don't like, and only took because the pandemic limited their choices. It's the great re-shuffling as people get back to their ideal roles.
I've found it's very dependent on what I'm searching for. DDG results tend to match my search patterns better, but it often seems they are missing pages with all the correct keywords that google returns. I suspect it just comes down to Google having crawled more pages, and having had more resources to invest in optimizing result hierarchies.
Hopefully, their "AI" facial recognition doesn't pick the wrong person. That would be worse than looking for all of the Sarah Conners in the phone book one by one.
I got vaccinated over 6 months ago. I'm getting my booster later today. It seems that those who were vaccinated more recently are more likely to be protected against delta as well.
Most Covid patients at Israeli hospital fully vaccinated. What about Australia?
Yes that's configuration for the IDE. But the project itself is configured off of Maven, the project files for the IDE are ADDITIONAL settings for the IDE itself.

For example in CLion you can't create a new target from the IDE, you have to edit the cmake file.
Why even use drug mules if you can just drone everything over the border?
I had similar symptoms. Scary persistent cough for something like six months. Finally got chest xrays. Doctor called and left a message - "we found something on your xrays, give us a call". That was on a Friday, and the office wasn't open till Monday. I spent the weekend mentally preparing my will.

When I finally talked to the guy: "General lung irritation, possibly due to postnasal drip, take a sample of this anti-allergy nasal spray". I think I used it once or twice, but mainly it just cleared up all on its own.

This was a dozen years ago, long before covid.

I guess what I'm saying is: There were a million problems your body could have before covid, most of them not life threatening, and those issues are still around even with this scary disease running rampant.
Dylan had kebab-case idents and infix operators. It worked okay because you have to separate infix operators with a space anyway; omitting it is a syntax error.

In practice I doubt this would trip me up because every coding standard I've worked with has mandated spaces around infix operators. I suppose it might be a lot more confusing if you're used to coding standards that allow you to omit them, but my understanding is that's a minority.
Satellite? Obviously these police don't know what a repeater is.
The point of compensation isn't motivation, it's retention. People seem to misunderstand that.
I doubt they are good authorities in anything. I wish they'd leave the knowledge speak to those who spend their time gathering knowledge.
But that paper makes no such claim. They didn't check symptoms for the same subjects both before and after infection, so we can't be confident of causality.
You could just create a column and or use label called backlog.
IIRC, they're checked at run-time but not compile-time. And to avoid the speed issue (you're right: it really can get really slow), it only checks the top-level type. E.g. `List<Number>` just checks that it's a list.
Maybe it would be okay with syntax highlighting and a careerful of code formatting muscle memory, but how would that fare in an educational context?

I see. The reason I asked is (and I'm not a doctor, obviously) you might've ended up avoiding the very cure you were looking for. Some people have had their long COVID symptoms heal (including smell) after a second dose. You can Google around (e.g. see [1]), it's still not Scientifically Proven™, but it seems to have helped some people. You might want to ask your doctor if the fever is a genuine, serious risk, and whether you should try to get a couple doses if not.

> She almost didn't get her second dose. But she did — and a few days later, she noticed her energy was back, breathing was easier and soon even her problems with smell were resolving.

> About 40% of the 577 long COVID patients contacted by the group Survivor Corps say they felt better after getting vaccinated.

I grew up with horses. It blows my mind people would willingly ingest that stuff. The horses don’t even like taking it. You gotta shove the whole syringe to the back of their throat to make sure they don’t spit it out.
Same thing in Pyret, it's a syntax error to not put a space around infix operators.
I like the idea of the where clause to include tests.
If you don’t mind me asking, what might the total compensation for some of the roles the recruiters have been contacting you and other experienced hires for?
Unfortunately, most of us are the reasons why this is the problem. A lot of us on HN are developers and software engineers who pioneered the technology for a paycheck or are using this technology for a paycheck. The only way it stops is if engineers start refusing and the software community as a whole sticks to a code of ethics that prevents this.

Some of us in this thread that are decrying survelliance of all types are going to go back to work on the next work day at Google, Facebook, Amazon or some other company. When the boss man comes in and says "can you implement this feature" and it is about getting user analytics, you will say "yes sir/ma'am" and do it with a smile.
I remember that one of the Colombian drug gangs tried building a submarine in the jungle for ferrying drugs under water. I'm sure they'll try other such things. Drones mean not losing a human who might tattle.

Do you have any recommendations how long to prep for a leetcode style interview?
What is far more likely is that they didn't actually try everything. This is one of the problems. If you had an accurate log of their behavior and nutrition it would likely be very easy to determine that they did not, in fact, do what they were supposed to do, sometimes at all.

I've seen this so many times I don't even bother to comment any more. The typical case is the person who will, for example, claim to have started a ketogenic diet and next time you see them they ingest three slices of pizza. What's amazing to me is that they actually think they are doing everything they are supposed to do.

> what would you recommend to them?

I would put it in a very different way using a hypothetical case.

Let's assume that a person has 90 days to loose a bunch of weight or they are going to die. Not muscle, fat. In other words, improve their body composition to trim both visceral and other fat.

What would I recommend they do?

Take a pill? Nope.

I would make sure they could not eat as much as they have been eating and would add moderate exercise. We could argue about what they should and should not be eating, but even if all you eat is ice cream and candy, if I put you on a 100 calorie daily diet of ice cream for 90 days straight, you are going to lose weight at an alarming rate.

Not that I am proposing this at all. It would not be healthy. A balanced diet is important for a range or reasons having nothing to do with weight loss. The point is that people who claim to have tried everything are lying to themselves, they have not, because, at the end of the day, if you eat less (a little to a lot less, depending on circumstances) you will lose weight.

It really isn't that complicated. It isn't easy because of a range of factors, including what ingesting so much sugar and simple carbs does to your body and brain, but it isn't complicated.
Some companies have optional on-call and attach danger-money to it, so that’s an example of comp being used to motivate, not retain.

Surely it’s motivation if the comp is offered in exchange for the completion of some defined future work or attaining a goal? E.g. “I’ll grant you a $20k bonus if you get this project done by Monday”-kinda thing… though arguably this specific case is an example of bad management…
The point is that a government can turn bad and not fall under democratic oversight, and surveillance done by such a government is incomparably worse than that done by private companies.

If you are writing a code editor you might want to continue parsing it. Or maybe you detected an error, but you want to report more than one error at a time for a better programmer experience. There are lots of use cases for partially parsing a computer program.
I've been getting into formalizing math in computer proof assistants, and it made be realize equality was much more subtle than I had previously thought. Consider the sets {1, 2}, {2, 1}, {1, 2, 2}, and {n in Z | 1 <= n < 3}. These are not literally the same (since they're written differently; they're "intensionally" different), however, in math, sets are considered to be equal if they have the same elements (they're "extensionally" equivalent). These sets do happen to have the same elements (1 and 2) so they're all equal to each other. But you have to go through some process to construct an equality between pairs of sets to actually see this.

It's like how in many programming languages there are multiple kinds of equality. The most basic is that the variables refer to the same object in memory (i.e., a pointer comparison), which is hardly a computation at all. Others are more involved, like how in Python the `==` operator recursively checks for element-wise equality in data structures like lists, dictionaries, sets, and tuples. There is a concrete computation that demonstrates whether things are equal.

In math, there is no algorithm that can, in general, determine whether on not two things are actually equal. Given two objects, you might be able to come up with some ad hoc method to tell they're equal (which is a sort of computation -- proofs are programs). Math depends on a belief that these ad hoc equality proofs won't ever mutually contradict one another. Through this belief, we can pretend that there is exactly one Platonic ideal form of each thing somewhere out there in the mathematical universe.

(The almost-algorithm for determining equality, which is horribly slow but general, is to enumerate all possible proofs, checking one at a time to see if they prove or disprove the equality. Unfortunately, there are some concretely definable sets, similar to the machine you create for the halting problem, that this equality program will never decide are equal or not -- assuming math is consistent, that is. This is what the first Godel incompleteness theorem is about.)
Some autopsies are finally being done in US and Germany, which have already been able to identify some deaths which can be directly attributed to vaccines. It will take time, but physical evidence from those proven cases can help focus the search for patterns in the data, which in turn can guide the design of new studies to screen those few who may be at risk from vaccines.

What heuristic do you employ to decide what part of the article is marketing and what part indicates "a well managed project"?
Your wording is not precise

> In order to even get the IDE working with a project you need to configure it to work.

Meaning you already have a Maven/SBT/Gradle project and need to get the IDE to work with it.
Eh, "no fees" is pretty meaningless when you look at the broader flow of assets outside of this single transaction.

To acquire crypto in the first place, I likely pay fees or have purchased mining equipment.

Crypto assets are also volatile, so I'm possibly losing future gains, realizing losses, or paying interest to borrow against my wallet.

Also, one of your premises is wrong -- that this isn't possible with fiat. I myself pay many people instantly to their bank account using Zelle with 0% fees.
Interesting! I've seen things like that before with TikZ, but they required enabling \write18, which I didn't want to do. Using LuaTex support sounds much more appealing. I'll have to give that a try next time I build a diagram.

There is an entire billion dollar unicorn from the University of Waterloo called ApplyBoard. Their business is based on this model. There is hardly anything shadowy about it. If you are in the Valley, ask your Waterloo colleagues about the company. It is a very famous startup that gets kickbacks from both parties when an application goes through.
I really dislike this article:

>Quality matters more than quantity. If you read one book a month but fully appreciate and absorb it, you’ll be better off than someone who skims half the library without paying attention.

Let's measure outcomes instead. Choose between these two scenarios:

1) I spend one month reading a book closely and I follow some memory enhancing technique to retain the material - book club style. I can verbally retell the main points of the book afterwards and discuss it intelligently with others who have done the same.

Or

2) I had a quick look at the book and it's outline, I placed it conceptually in it's genre and in relation to other books covering the same kind of material. I had a normal reading of the chapters that seemed most valuable. I found one actionable insight and immediately worked it into my own set of habits/techniques/schedule. All in all I do this in 1-2h. I do this for 5 books a month.

After a year, I suspect strategy 2 has a better yield.
There are R/C model aircraft with more than enough performance to fly circles around a helicopter. Here's one going over 400MPH.[1] It's powered by a small jet engine that costs around US$6000. That's from 2017. Here's one hovering, standing on its own jet.[2] That's from 2010. These things are quite impressive. So is the piloting, by the way. The one in [1] is just being hand-flown with an ordinary Futaba R/C joystick controller.

Put a modern drone camera and nav system in one of these, and it's not hard to make longer range flights and do what someone did in Tucson. You can stay up longer if you're not trying for the R/C aircraft speed record.

Also note the resemblance to the "flying pyramids" sighted near a U.S. Navy ship in 2019.

They aren’t mutually exclusive. I’ve worked at a large company that allowed peers to give small, cash bonuses to other engineers.
Simple text files along with any sort of note organizer are a great alternative for organising zettlekasten notes.

Take 7-10 articles on a subject -> diagram and extract main sentences into a text file -> reorganize all of the extracts into an outline of what you want to write (I use a kanban board for this) -> rewrite to get an extremely condensed 'first draft' -> export back into a text file, rewrite again, and expand and elaborate to get a second, readable draft.
Uber doesn’t have to offer shifts to everyone whenever they want them of offer a base wage higher than minimum.
I said that you may be an extreme outlier. You're also larger than every NFL player in history, everyone in World's Strongest Man, etc. A 10 mile jog (let's say 80-100 minutes of uninterrupted running) is the sort of "I could eat 50 eggs" number people pull out.

At 6'5", you are an outlier. 2kcal is too low, much as it's too high for the average woman. This doesn't mean that metabolism is a "colloquial" term. It means that "the physical, psychological, and emotional components" is a long way of saying "it's hard", and "the experiential variance I'm describing" is "the payoff did not seem to be worth the cost".

In general, my post wasn't intended to be an attack on you. It's that "I cut calories and I lost weight" is not anecdotal. It's factual. The anecdote, if any, is "I'm larger than the largest professional athletes and I can still perform". Since it's hard to stick with cutting calories for many people, throwing drugs at it with Fella is not the right answer.

A holistic approach which addresses trauma, reasons for emotional eating, lifestyle replacements, recalibration of palate, satiation even at a deficit, and all the rest should be explored alongside drugs so "I cut calories and I lost weight" is easier to stick with.
Covid completely screwed up the market this year as well. Paying less than $1/kg (full fruit) wasn’t rare while normally years it can be several times that.
Always requiring whitespace around infix operators is, in my opinion, easier to explain to people than "you can do whatever you want with the whitespace." It's consistent and regular. I don't think it's as much of an issue as you're making it out.

Pyret is the result of decades of research in computer science education, helmed by Shriram Krishnamurthi, who was one of the original members of the Racket project (itself a language designed for CS education in the '90s, a descendant of Scheme with kebab case and prefix notation). The full list of authors of Pyret is lengthy, but includes a number of well-established researchers in the PL and CSed communities. Knowing who they are, I would happily assume that they spent plenty of time debating this exact issue of mixing kebab case with infix subtraction, and either decided the benefits were worth the cost or else decided that the cost was practically nonexistent.

In any case, I trust their decisions better than those of someone who glanced at the website only long enough to inform a condescending (and highly superficial) comment on Hacker News.
While You’re the only one able to judge your personal experience and I can only go by what you have written, I have close Friends and relatives who had similar experiences. Runny nose in particular was not seen as a Covid Symptom in adults by health authorities at the time. Chest Pain is a common symptom of anxiety. All my Friends who had similar symptoms and got antibody tests prior to vaccination had no Covid antibodies. Let me suggest an alternative explanation that might or might not also apply in your case. Constant stress and anxiety about catching a horrific disease or loosing family members lowered the immune response as it is a well known effect of stress. Being fully vaccinated not only lifted that anxiety but also gave the immune system a boost. Thus no more infections with beta-coronaviruses and other viruses that caused the runny nose.
It's an extreme stance to ban all JS - but if you're going to make a post about dumb phones that requires a modern smart phone to even view it, seems backwards to me.
> I'm against both parties funneling tax payer money to defense contractors in never-ending wars, but more government programs to give them more options to funnel money is not the solution.

I get what you're saying, but consider this. If you explicitly funnel money to these people for the purpose of warfare, they will only make weapons and train people to engage in warfare and supporting activities.

Best case scenario, you got some specialists who are "also" proficient in adjacent technical skills, related to warfare (e.g. cybersecurity), and a bunch of military hardware sitting on parking lots (or falling into the hands of the Taliban).

But if you engage them for education or high speed rail, sure, they pad their pockets, sure, but at the end of the day you at least got some infrastructure for schools, rail engineers and supporting roles for those fields. You don't have to deal with depreciating military machines, who are only fit for destruction.

I don't mean to say I have the ultimate truth regarding this, but personally, I will pick the $90 billion California train over 300 days in Afghanistan every single time.
Yes, no vaccine or therapeutic is 100%, but a vaccine delivered via the arm deltoid muscle is going to produce blood/serum antibodies. A respiratory virus like SARS-CoV-2 enters via the upper respiratory system, usually the nose. Natural immunity provides substantial mucosal antibodies in the upper respiratory system but current Covid vaccines do not. This is why a vaccinated person can get infected (via nose) and still be protected against symptoms (by blood/serum antibodies).
