Don't forget, our salaries are largely unchanged although the market is finding it out the hard way (employee shortage).

So honest hardworking people got triple-fucked.

I can't imagine how well UBI would ever go. This should be the nail in the coffin for UBI for me, I will never vote for it.
I'll bite.

Tooling. The CIDER devs are doing a great job, but Clojure gets to suffer by being tightly coupled to the JVM. Meanwhile CL thought deeply about having a truly dynamic developer experience, for example look at the CL condition system.

Multiparadigm. Sometimes I want an object, sometimes I want goto, sometimes I want to mutate a thing. CL is probably the least opinionated language every made, Clojure is highly opinionated. For a long-term investment, I want to have options.

There's a spec. CL is done. I have faith my code will continue to run as-is well into the future. Hickey very much values long-term backward compatibility and maintenance today, but who knows what he'll value in the future? For that matter what does Clojure look like if he gets hit by a bus? I don't want to have to worry about things like that.

CL has more parens. People love to complain about CL let's excessive parens, but I find them much easier to read, but more importantly they are much easier to work with when using structural editing tools, and easier to work with in macros. I find Clojure's extra syntax for literals to be a net negative.

No JVM. The JVM is a mixed bag, if you need it for operational reasons then its a huge win, but if you're not constrained by somebody else organizational policies, then I think the JVM is a net loss. Instead of dealing with the JVM, CL gives you a variety of tools to tune performance to make your programs scream.

Reader macros. Clojure rejects them as a giant footgun, CL gives them to you since CL is all about maximal power and flexibility for an uncertain future.
I have a very similar problem. Lisp is so compatible with the way I work, and I'm so productive in it, that I'd rather use it for everything -- even a simple Scheme implementation that lacks things like CL's condition system or "update all instances when a struct or class definition changes" magic. So I have a tendency to be very squarely within Smug Lisp Weenie territory when comparatively discussing PLs.
The import ban is going to be less impactful than the Biden administration likely hoped. Russian firearms imports were already banned, and ammo prices haven’t risen significantly for non-Russian calibers since the ban was announced; all it did was cut out the cheap steel at the bottom of the market (which, unless it’s an AK pattern gun, is exclusively practice ammo anyway because it’s not very reliable or accurate).

The most likely scenario is that the cheap steel ammo just gets made in former combloc countries instead and imported to the US from Serbia or Czech Republic. Ammunition is also a global market, so that cheap Russian ammo will get dumped somewhere, and wherever that happens will then export more to the US to meet the demand.
Fotoquirk Ltd | https://www.fotoquirk.com | Mobile developer with C++ skills | Remote

Fotoquirk Ltd, based in Durham UK, creates innovative visualisation and augmented reality software for mobile devices and the web. We are a small, dynamic and international team aiming to strike the right balance between graphically advanced products and practical solutions which solve actual business problems. We provide visualisation tools for various leading window decorating businesses in the UK and the USA, and ar currently expanding globally.

We are looking for an enthusiastic software developer to work on our mobile development team, initially on project basis but possibly extending to a permanent contract. Our visualisation apps are custom-built layers in Kotlin/Swift/Javascript on top of our proprietary multiplatform C++ visualisation core. They tie into ARCore or ARKit for augmented reality applications, connect to an extensive set of C++ and Python server backends for additional functionality, and are controlled with React portal apps.

This is a remote working job, but you should be prepared to interact on a regular basis with the rest of our team, and be responsive. We offer very competitive rates, depending on qualifications.

Suitable candidates do not necessarily need any formal qualification, and self-taught candidates are explicitly invited to apply, but you should at least have one of:

* experience with Android development and the Android NDK,

* experience with iOS development and SwiftUI,

You should also:

* be able to demonstrate experience with modern C++,

* have an interest in and possibly experience with 3D graphics.

Ability to demonstrate some of the above with e.g. contributions to an open source project is a major plus. We are in particular looking for people with a strong desire and capability to learn new technologies 'on the job'.

With interest rates trending ever lower since then. The only reason to hold government debt right now is to park large amounts of cash that can't otherwise be parked. Bonds are a terrible investment now.

What happens when the only way the state can sell debt is to print the money and buy it itself? What happens in the next crises when we need to stimulate the economy and rates are still negative?

At some point you can't keep kicking the can down the road. When do we reach that point? Are we there now?

I'm not a doom and gloom kind of fellow, but this does not appear to be sustainable to me. As with climate change, destruction of ecosystems, and draining groundwater reserves, all unsustainable practices come to an end. Abruptly if not planned for. It looks like we're nearing that point with monetary policy.
I'm aware of the 3 dose vaccines - what I'm asking is if there's any connection between the duration and the type of vaccine and the type of underlying virus.

The flu, for example as existed longer than COVID and we do not have a "3 dose" vaccine that prevents the flu for a decade. Why would we expect this for COVID as opposed to an annual booster?
Maybe around the time all restraint has been abandoned - assets held by the Fed have expanded by 8x in the last 10 years (the story is the same for most large central banks).

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WALCL

We already see the impact in massive asset price inflation over the last decade, a distorted bond market, growing inequality, an inefficient stock market, and a proliferation of scams and fraud. This is not going to end well and MMT is not a panacea.

How do we now leave ZIRP and QE without crashing markets and entering another depression? They have already tried several times to exit and had to abandon it.

Optimising applications for specific hardware has nothing to do with the hardware manufacturer if the software and hardware come from different suppliers, though.

Apple has the advantage of developing and deploying hardware, OS and system software completely in-house.

AMD only supplies chips and basic firmware, both of which can be configured by OEMs/ODMs and the OS and software come from entirely different parties again.

So the usage profile depends on external factors, not just the CPU itself. In the end, however, a 15W power budget is a 15W power budget and an M1 under full load and a Ryzen under full load will have the same thermal output if configured the same (as far as power consumption goes).

How well the waste heat is managed is not in the hands of the CPU.

Well, there's (most of) the short stories in Burning Chrome, and I don't think the break is that huge for the bridge trilogy. It's a different future from Neuromancer, though.

Then again I've yet to read anything by Gibson I didn't like, including the most recent books. So I might not be the best guide...

I recommend looking into Bruce Sterling, if you enjoy Gibson - particularly Islands in the Net (if you can find it! I ended up buying an expensive used copy online) and Holy Fire.

As someone who is exploring a GraphQL "migration" for a rather large project, I'm interested to hear more about the issues in practice from people who've had to work in GraphQL environments on long timescales. I see a lot of the pro-GraphQL people talking up the advantages but never really the drawbacks.

I've had some concerns about GraphQL in the past when it was first coming up, but they look to be mostly addressed in some way shape or form. For example, using a CDN is now viable without hacks if you utilize something like Apollo Persisted Queries. Most of the research I've done on the topic recently has come up with a lot of outdated criticisms.

On that note, it almost feels as if people wrote off GraphQL in the beginning and have largely ignored the developments since. The people already on board the train seem to write more to an existing audience of users rather than people looking to get in.

Why did you felt you had to explain what is already in the link ?
I would love to see more research on whether a different/better vaccine could provide stronger or longer lasting immunity. There are a whole lot of mechanisms by which a vaccine might produce immunity (antibodies, memory B cells that can produce antibodies if needed, various forms of T cells, and probably mechanisms that haven't been discovered or understood yet.) It seems that most research on immunity focuses on antibodies in blood, and I think this is just because they are relatively easy to measure.

I haven't seen anything suggesting that mRNA vaccines are especially good as compared to other vaccines. mRNA vaccines were quick to develop given all the past work that had been done, but that isn't the same thing as being good once developed and mass-produced. Novavax's subunit vaccine did extremely well in trials, and it's mostly old technology.

Are there useful studies of the efficacy of the J&J and AZ vaccines over time? Those are newish technology, too.
AI Algorithm Matches Cardiologists’ Expertise, While Explaining Its Decisions
I personally find it quite sad to see reactions on HN regarding the introduction of Docker Desktop subscription model. We all benefit from a well supported Docker company, it’s good to see they are trying to look for a sustainable model. If your team is using their tools daily since years, and you decide to change to a different one just to avoid a small license fee, that feels hypocritical. If the tool worked for you when it was free, it still works when you have to pay a small license fee and brings the same value.

Companies paying for developer tooling is good for the ecosystem.
Not that I am qualified for such a debate, but it's not clear to me that the risk of creating variants is greater than the risk of letting the virus run through the population unopposed. The variants so far seem to be variations of the same virus with similar risk profiles, and the vaccines seem to be mostly efficient against these variants.
"CBD and its metabolite, 7-OH-CBD, but not congeneric cannabinoids, potently block SARS-CoV-2 replication in lung epithelial cells. CBD induces interferon expression and up-regulates its antiviral signaling pathway. A cohort of human patients previously taking CBD had significantly lower SARSCoV-2 infection incidence of up to an order of magnitude relative to matched pairs or the general population. This study highlights CBD, and its active metabolite, 7-OH-CBD, as potential preventative agents and therapeutic treatments for SARS-CoV-2 at early stages of infection."

In most cases, the information being censored is harmless or useful. Censorship of this sort is unjustifiable.

In this case, what is being censored is information that leads directly, or almost-directly, to unnecessary deaths. Non-censorship of such speech is ethically unjustifiable to me.
Rust is not perfect and will never replace language like c# go or python.

I had a bizarre issue with that, where I wanted to get married, and to get the marriage license I needed a permanent address that was mine, not my parents.

But to rent a place, several of them required me to have a family income that was only enough if I had my wife with me, but since we weren't married officially yet, it didn't count.

Gatekeeping is essentially the only service provided by journals. We could argue about whether it is actually a useful service, but anti-gatekeeping journal seems like a contradiction.
The headline doesn't quite do the article justice.

Boosters in this one study reduced measured infection (they didn't measure actual hospitalization/disease!) by some amount in the very short term.

But experts say this tells us very little about what effect they will have over even months, instead of weeks/days.

Last paragraph:

> If the booster’s additional immunity fades quickly, or if the booster campaign distracts from surveillance efforts or from reaching people who have not been vaccinated at all, Dowdy says, the effort will have little long-term impact: “We need longer term data before we can say that giving people boosters at any given interval is the right strategy.”
I wouldn't recommend using natural voices to read anything long. They definitely aren't fast enough. Maybe reading short emails and things like that, but when you get to long articles, it takes too much time.
I also think that when a voice pauses to breathe it sounds more creepy than natural, and wastes more time, rather than benefits me in any way.

> A Palo Alto VM ... without the cost ...

Does Palo Alto have some kind of no-cost offering in their VM line?
I'm fine with losing Wifi performance if I can improve my home network security. When I'm sitting at my desk, my laptop is hardwired, and my only 4K TV is hardwired, so I don't have any great bandwidth needs, and even with 4 SSID's broadcast, I'm maxing out my 500mbit internet connection, so I even if I lost half that to overhead, I'd be ok with that.

I've also thought about just setting up multiple nodes, one set for secure devices, one for insecure devices.

Cisco "only" supports 16 SSID's, which is probably more than I'd even need.
>Then you could say that the average person's 401k isn't being used either.

But the average person has much more marginal utility for their amount of wealth. Going by the average 401k balances here (https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/01061...), the marginal utility of dollars $38,401, $160,001, etc is much greater than even millions of dollars at Bezos and Gates level wealth. What else am I missing about utility in this context?
