Writing Elixir the last few years has been great from this perspective of stability. There are breaking changes occasionally but they're mostly small or relatively trivial to fix due to the functional programming nature of Elixir.

For embedded stuff Nim has been great as well and code from pre-1.0 Nim code often just works or requires a couple of module renames.

Alas, the Linux kernel seems to drop or swap api subsystems every time I hit refresh on lwn (ok, thats a bit exaggerated) but hey.

Doing embedded projects means I really don't want to rewrite code to keep up with fads for a device thats intended to work for years.
Also, you would never say 'a recruiter is trying to make me apply'.

'trying to get me to apply' would be the right thing to say. A recruiter can't make you do anything. Your parents or spouse on the other hand...
Understood, that’s an issue in itself.

But as someone who is on the shorter side with an athletic body type, almost no clothing produced today (aside from high end made in US brands) fits me at all. Vintage stuff does. No amount of standardization will get around that. I have to pay more for tailoring, getting custom made, or spending tons of time searching out boutique brands that work for my body type.

What I’m suggesting fixes it all.
> About 2 weeks after the shot I had 2 weeks of 1-2 degree daily fevers and fatigue with no other symptoms. My docs made me take 2 separate covid tests across that time - both were negative.

And this is one of the maddening things about finding causality in disease. It might have been a reaction to the vaccine. Or you might have picked up an entirely unrelated illness on the same day as getting vaccinated... Because, for example, you had to stand in line with a handful of people and sit in the same chair as, perhaps, a couple hundred more, all of whom could have had God-knows-what.

You probably didn't have COVID because two tests came back negative, but without knowing what else it could be, doctors don't know what test to try to find what you did have. Usually, if enough people report similar symptoms, the CDC would do outbreak follow-up with the testing site to see if something got brought in and spread widely.
I lucked into a chance once to see Teller give a full presentation on all of this at an Idea Festival as both an abbreviated history of magic and as a deep dive into Teller's specific processes. Teller said the talk was in part an experiment to see if some tricks the audience would appreciate far more knowing the incredible amount of work and time put into making them seem easy and I thought he pulled that off remarkably well (it was an amazing presentation in many ways), but so far as I know Teller has only given that presentation like twice and has made sure there is no recorded version of it so you'll just have to take my word for it I guess.
SEEKING WORK - Contract, Remote, based in NYC area, backend engineer

I am a backend expert, having built and maintained highly available systems for several companies over the last 5 years, in addition to over 20 total years of software development experience.

You will like working with me because I:

* hold your goals as my priorities
* communicate verbosely yet synthesize well
* my rates are reasonable in exchange for the value I deliver
* I guarantee I will get the job done

Concrete examples:

* built a ~50 node, Dockerized, Terraform-deployed distributed system to provide realtime, transformed trade data from crypto exchanges to a Kafka pipeline and data lake (fodder for an analytics platform). Met 5000msec SLA across arbitrarily many exchanges and ticker symbols. Blue-green deployment for complete CICD safety. Cloudwatch metrics proved SLA was met and provided general system oversight.
* built a framework to collapse dozens of singleton ETL programs into one config-driven, simple C# application performing the same functionality at ~80% reduction in maintenance cost year over year.
* built and managed a team of 8 engineers operating against multiple streams of work to meet business needs, with ~12 active projects at a time.

All of those medications can be prescribed prophylactically (early in the symptomatic phase) by just about any clinic.

I'm not advocating against vaccination, just pointing out that early treatment with widely available and existing medicines has also proven to be effective in reducing severe outcomes.
I think the catch is that it'll be getting less efficient with time: those rechargeable batteries love to degrade.
Do you have any recommended hardware for OpenWRT? I've been wanting to put in a low powered router/firewall on my home network that isn't controlled by a big vendor.

I haven't done a ton of research in this area, but I'd certainly like to use OpenWRT or OPNSense on my home routers/firewalls.

Side note: I've been trying to figure out a decent way to get rid of Android on my Galaxy S9+, but it appears to be locked.

At the end of the day, I just want to be in control of my bandwidth, my data, and know whats going on. Big companies are making this very complicated with all the tracking.

I recently re-enabled my pi-hole on a virtual machine, and it never ceases to amaze me what is talking to the internet without my permission. After digging into DoH a bit, I'm about to the point where I think I need to put in an outbound proxy, deny all outbound access except via the proxy, and iterate again and again.

I just don't want to have $200 a month in power bills to support my home network to save bandwidth and know what is traversing the net.
Most genetic variants associated with common diseases fall in non-coding DNA areas, previously thought to be junk DNA.

Many of these non-coding areas are actually enhancer elements. These elements produce enhancer RNA, previously thought to be noise, and regulate distant genes thanks to chromosome conformation. Chromosome conformation means DNA folds in complex 3D patterns.

The interplay between chromosome conformation, enhancer RNA, gene expression and disease variants is very complex and interesting [1,2].

I know some startups trying to regulate genes by targeting enhancer elements. The field is very promising, but a big roadblock seems to be to deliver compounds to the right cell type.

Junk DNA was always contentious because there was evidence of conservation in these areas. In other words, evolution was selecting against mutations in some junk DNA regions. My impression is that junk DNA fell quickly out of favor once the ENCODE Project started to publish large scale epigenetics data in the early 2010s.

I don't live in the US and I never saw a dead channel on TV in the 90s. As I read your comment I suddenly wasn't sure which was meant anymore, so I found this on Reddit:

> Gibson imagined an ancient TV ... that grey/green haze as the tube warmed to a channel that was 'active', but sending no programming. A 'dead' channel.

> Most kids in the 90's imagined the static of a TV of THEIR childhood, when not tuned to any channel, just projecting a grey/white static. Gibson has often corrected people that this was NOT the 'Dead Channel' he was referring to.

> Now, of course, a new generation is imagining a sickly bright blue ... probably the last generation to really know what a 'TV' is, when it connected to something called a 'channel'.
To which degree is this statistic confounded by the Delta mutation emerging?

The original strain upon which the current vaccines are based has basically died out and Delta carries a lot more viral load (400x or so?), which changes the game a bit.

In comparison, smallpox virus was pretty much the same across centuries, so it was comparably easy to target and eradicate. No animal hosts helped, too.
For that you need to know the offending APK ID in the first place, and you need to enable ADB access, and install a piece of software on your computer.

Seriously, this shit is inexcusable.

Curious, have you ever looked at the negative self-talk through the lens of nutritional deficiencies?

Specifically magnesium intake?

"In healthy adults, magnesium sits inside the NMDA receptors, preventing them from being triggered by weak signals that may stimulate your nerve cells unnecessarily. When your magnesium levels are low, fewer NMDA receptors are blocked. This means they are prone to being stimulated more often than necessary.]"

I literally have less self-talk when my magnesium intake is consistent. It's similar to the effect I've had when taking an SSRI (Lexapro).

Edit: Why the downvotes?
How much Open Source projects might have spent if not for GitHub Actions?
I think "taxes are a problem of the rich" is a thing that rich people say. I've been poor, and taxes really fucking suck when you're poor. It's even worse when you're poor and in a service industry where taxes are really stacked against you (taxes on tips). Finally, since this is, after all a thread about inflation: Bracket creep is a thing.
Other countries have national ID's and dont seem to have stumbled on these problems. Nations that had massive changes to territory and population in the few decades have functional national ID's. If nations that didn't exist 30 years ago manage to pull it off then so can the US. There are enough examples now that all major pitfalls should be well understood and their successful mitigations known. Resistance to national ID is just FUD at this point.
That's quite enticing. Hmm. Thanks for mentioning it! I kinda want a cheap/cheerful laptop; maybe this will be it... .
Yes because that's how taxes work. You don't have any individual say over where your taxes go. Assuming that you're talking about your local tax burden for public schools you're paying $1200/mo. for everyone's elementary school education. When spread over a population all it does it move money around, that money is right now is being spent on people's college educations and the economic hammer-on effects reach you as well. It's not so simple as "if I don't personally feel like I got a 'free' college education then I'm losing money." The thing people want when they say "make college free" is "a college education is free at the point of delivery" not that it's actually without cost.

Also we are allowed to do two things at once. There is no reason that a country of millions of people has to focus on one thing at a time that has the potential to benefit everyone.

I say this as someone who has zero skin in this game. I went to private school as a child. I paid off my student loans, I cannot have children. I will in my lifetime not directly benefit from publicly funded education k-12 or college -- I still want this policy.
Please keep 'm coming. They provide very interesting reads. You might consider, in the first sentence, to change 'this project' to a link with a more high level document.
Given that I said "just about", ergo not all, I'm not quite sure what the point of your comment is. Pointing out that someone somewhere is using something else, even haughtily adding some ill-considered snark, doesn't seem particularly useful in that context.

It's a big industry. There are loads of exceptions and they still comprise a tiny minority.
Snow Crash was one of the fastest books I've ever read.
Yes. And also wouldn't pricing get better over time? I think the GP is funding it knowing full well it's expensive for now - that's the point of taking the risk.
I want to understand where you're coming from. But I do think there's a false equivalence here. DJing is a creative process with no defined goal. There's only so many ways an Ansible playbook can be realistically written to install some software, it's the opposite of a creative process.

Tapping your foot can't be considered a hobby right? It produces nothing tangible and involves no creativity.

Would it be enough to be worthwhile at all though, even ignoring the cost of the control circuitry? (and what's the laptop going to do when it sees 5 power sources? How does it know not to charge one depleted battery module from another?)
Such a simplistic view.

Here's something to consider: Nicotine alleviates the symptoms of schizophrenia which affects 1% of the population. https://www.brainfacts.org/archives/2008/smoking-and-schizop...

So put yourself in their shoes. They need financial aid because their mind is broken. One of the few things that calms the screaming voices is a cigarette. Nicotine acts on the brain in various ways and it literally alleviates the symptoms of a severe disease.

So yes they need financial aid but it's really arrogant that you're so sure you know better than them on how to spend it. You're also not giving them a learning experience. Remember that the goal is for them to dig themselves out of their hole. By not allowing them to succeed or fail you aren't setting them up for the day they are financially independent.
Because no other country made that work...
All large organizations waste and lose money. It is part and parcel to the way things are. The choices we have to make are where do we get more benefit when we engage in large endeavors. Free (or low cost) college?, probably a lot of benefit compared to the % wasted. Invade a country in Central Asia, maybe not so much benefit.....
I wonder if this can be used to engineer a test for COVID-19 susceptibility? It'd be helpful for people to know if they have enhanced likelihood to die from the disease if they contract it.

Reminds me of https://gource.io/
Seems like there is some untapped potential in this for a 3D code visualization system. Sort of "Gource meets CodeLens." More than just "watch this flashy movie of our code evolving" but actually being able to navigate dependencies, call graphs, etc. to gain insight on the codebase.

I had never heard of this award and the author doesn't give great evidence that it actually has a great success rate. Looking at the past winners:

https://marginalrevolution.com/?s=emergent+ventures+winners

A number of award winners are already very accomplished. In this most recent cohort, there's a woman who's a professor at Brown, has a PhD from Harvard, and written multiple books.

It would be interesting to see how accomplished the award winners are and how early in their careers they received the award.

Hmmm I wonder what percentage of BTC owners want to give their BTC away?
> let's extend that even further in the collegiate system.

The government runs the collegiate tuition systems through a guaranteed student loan program.

What the government didn’t do is regulate the universities and say if you accept students with federal loans then there is a mandatory cap on your tuition prices, instead the government said charge the students what ever you want wink wink and we will give them the loan.

Unfortunately this has runaway to a $1.5T national student loan debt, and debt that will follow students around for the rest of their lives if they are lucky enough to keep up with payments. However, 1M student loan holders per year weren’t able to keep up, and that was prepandemic, since the pandemic the numbers of student loan defaults have been manipulated through policy (including the various stimulus bills) as well as just failing to report the loan defaults.

If you don’t want government involved in university monetary/fiscal issues then you more than anyone should want to reform the current system of pay to play with guaranteed student loans.

Yes profitability is the bigger picture - companies can choose to distribute that as a dividend, stock buyback, or reinvest. My point being that stocks as a form of income (the entire point of an investment) has all but vanished and the yield has been driven down because of interest rate drops. Investors are willing to pay more and more for stocks because of this - where else can you get yield?

One only has to look at P/E ratios since 1980 to see this, meaning that companies aren't simply earning more and doing something else with it. Their stock simply costs more as a percentage of their earnings and less of that is being distributed, relying nearly entirely on appreciation alone to hit their 8% average yearly return. And they've been appreciating more quickly than GDP for quite awhile - not every company is growing earnings 8%/year nor can they.

> With that in mind it's still 3-4% at least on average for S&P500 companies

The current yield is 1.28%, down from 1.58% a year ago. The last time it was 3% was in 2008 (for a few months) and that was only because stock prices fell through the floor driving yields up for a few months.

The last time the index yielded at 3% or more consistently was 1991 with yields being around 4% for much of the 1980's.

I don't think it's possible to really raise rates at all maybe ever again and I think the evidence of this is the last 40 years. They ebb and flow but they trend down and continue to. If the trend reversed the entire system would collapse at this point with mortgages being destroyed, stocks falling rapidly in price as higher yields are demanded, and anyone holding a bond left with a bag. For this reason I believe we either see rates to continue to fall or stabilize around 0 and pretty much sit there as growth in terms of yield and appreciation more or less stagnate but with assets so inflated they are out of reach of most people while yielding below inflation which is the only driver of "appreciation" but not in real dollars.

Government funds university education here in Denmark. But you have to be responsible with tax payers money so the number of seats per program is determined by market demand.

It used to be you could install IIS on windows and get asp. Then they bundled it really tight so you were tied to a version of IIS based on the windows version. (eg NT4=IIs4, w2kserver=IIS5) Then they unbundled it with .net. But now you needed the entire .net bundle to just run some asp and you were tied to the version of the framework. No one was ever happy with how they bundled anything on the dev side.

I think the main point is that Go (while a very good language for lower level work) is presented as a better alternative to C++ or Rust because its "nicer" but a big reason it is nicer is the lack of memory management.

It's weird to crown Go as better when it is nicer simply by ignoring very low-level work then pretend that the argument of OS development is irrelevant.

A bit of an exaggeration, but its like saying HTML is a better "programming" language than javascript when creating documents, then ignore the fact HTML isn't actually programmable.
