COVID “jabs” seems demeaning to one of the fastest scientific kicks in history. We’ll remember the vaccine research the same as the moon landing.
The $50K Folding House of Elon Musk
Note that Cap'n Proto's mutability limitations are inherent to being a zero-copy protocol -- it's necessary to allocate messages in contiguous memory, tightly packed, which makes it hard to be able to allocate memory dynamically.

NoProto also claims to be zero-copy, which would seem to subject it to the same issues. I couldn't find anything in the docs explaining how they avoid it.
INSIDE THE $50K FOLDING HOUSE OF ELON MUSK
It seems he is.
I see a much bigger push to prevent any type of critical discussion about issues of slavery etc.

I'm also always surprised how little US citizens know about their own history. Ask somebody about "Birth of a Nation" and see what they can tell you about it.

Ask them if they know about the "Pro American Rally" in 1939 and see what they say.

These things are not taught in school and it's a shame.
I know what I'm talking about I'm German and I hated our history education in school as we were discussing the 3rd Reich nearly every year. Yet, reflecting on it and seeing that the same stupid ideas get a hold today again, it was not nearly enough. We should have taught more. The same holds for the German colonial history (that was not covered and is changing slowly).

If you don't know your past, you are condemned to repeat it.

Vaccination decreases likelihood of transmitting Delta but doesn't absolutely prevent it. Vaccination prevents downstream spread and thus deaths and given the amplification of increasingly larger downstream generations this effect could still be very large when considering the entire population.
Google, CIA Invest in 'Future' of Web Monitoring (2010)
Please don't jump to these baseless conclusions based on a misinterpretation of one twitter post. The issue here is with libadwaita, not with GTK, and if you actually read the gitlab issue chain by that person then you will see that progress is being made: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libadwaita/-/issues/259

>It's a mistake to consider GNOME/GTK as a community project.

You're getting this wrong -- GNOME is very much a community project, but it's one that happens to be heavily driven by designers. Maybe this is unusual for an open source project? The general point with the request is that you can't just try to make a desktop that re-uses some GNOME components while also throwing out everything their designers did, the end result there is that users have a bad time. This is not about making someone conform to anyone's way, this is about distros working with app developers to provide the best possible experience for users. Switching toolkits is not really going to fix anything here, you will run into the same issues with any other toolkit if you try to restyle apps in ways that were unsupported and unintended by the app developer.
Being able to quickly replace or append a field without re-serializing the entire struct can be useful, but the overhead for it is pretty substantial (an extra u32 for every field, plus 1/4 of another u32 for next vtable in the list). Every u32 always consumes four (unaligned?) bytes. I think “far more space efficient” than Avro is pretty unlikely.

I hope he’s also looking at ASN.1 PER for more “don’t write anything the reader already knows” ideas in the vein of Avro.

Without OIDs or UUIDs for versions of types, most of these formats seem equally prone to treating invalid messages as unpredictable gibberish or erroring out on an invalid size or offset.
Good luck debugging that crap when you’re woken up at 2am by a page. Even magnificent Java stack traces won’t help. You’ll be stuck in “how the hell did we end up here”

40% of white tailed deer in the US are seropositive for SARS-CoV-2:

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02110-8

In the case of the mink cluster 5 there were confirmed cases of the mink-adapted SARS-CoV-2 genome in infected workers on the farms.

Without similar genotyping its impossible to say if there's other similar events happening with other species, but the SARS-CoV-2 virus infects enough other species to be considered promiscuous.
Yeah it's pretty bad where this is headed. It also weaponizes digital images that are very easy to find.

Not sure if you are honestly asking about the jury thing but judges do have the legal superpower to see illegal images and they will usually instruct the jury to vote based on what they saw.

The US federal prison system being one of the biggest bullies on earth though, this cases rarely go to trial.
But you can still use that same class syntax when writing your components.
GitPod so far has been a better experience, unless you get access to the actually 'paid' codespaces. Dealing with branches is a pain and a fork is impossible with the GitHub web editor. GitPod has a better real desktop experience in the browser. So I can see how this can help verify the experience they are after and confirms people want.

Personally been using GitPod a lot for mentoring and small workshops. (but also coder).
There are some interesting experiments around Firefox forks funded by Patreon. Though not sure how viable they are against a hostile web.
It’s really settled down a lot recently. Modern front end dev with Vue/React is a legitimate joy.
N = 1 here, but as someone from a third world country this is definitely true for my experience. Like, 90% of students here can't really pay US-prices for textbooks at all, so they resort to either piracy or buying imported used books (which are significantly cheaper somehow, but sometimes badly worn or old editions), or even buying printed pirated books.

My university department even had someone who would pirate textbooks and print them and sell them to the students at cost (what it cost to print them), he was very popular and people to this day still remember him very fondly as he was arguably doing a major service... the students wouldn't have read the books otherwise.

It may be legally wrong in the West, but morally? The author doesn't lose (like I said, the books wouldn't have been bought) and the students get access to knowledge they wouldn't have been able to access otherwise.
At least three categories meet the definition of a bad user experience designed to discourage a certain behavior:

- restraint devices (everything from infant play pens, to straitjackets, to "keep out" signs, to barbed wire fences).

- punishment (all forms: punishment is a deliberately bad user experience in order to discourage a behavior).(Punishment sometimes involves restraint devices).

- security mechanisms of all sorts (security mechanisms are predicated on presenting a discouragingly shitty experience toward those who are unauthorized; sometimes there is a spillover shittiness to the authorized users as well).

Security device: A good bike lock is a shitty user experience for the hoodlum who wants the bike; having to lug that lock around and use it all the time isn't a great experience for the owner, either.

Restraint device: A speed bump is a kind of restraint device. It restrains the use of vehicular speed. The user experience is shitty; you have to slow down, and still get an annoying bump.
They can't, it continues to get worse with each idea they come up with. It will continue this way, but they will keep moving the goalposts and changing the plan, more expensively each time.

The bad life choices are not going to stop based on having a roof instead of a tent. The idea that all of the services that have been offered, and not taken up, are suddenly going to now be carefully considered and accepted because they are in an apartment, is some serious wishful thinking.
This is a collection of loosely-assembled hopes, labeled and prettied-up as social "science". It's more of an escape plan for politicians than anything else.
Backend devs definitely know that, but it's management or outsiders who seem to think otherwise.

I've performed both roles in my career but have always been impressed by talented frontend devs ability to make some otherwise batshit ui spec come to life ... but regardless, I was always paid more when I worked on the backend, and so was every other backend dev I knew. Maybe I'm the outlier.
Ummm loads of time I end up in weird redirect loops that I solve by deleting cookies one-by-one.

When dealing with cookies I don’t want to just wipe all of them! Sometimes I just want to deal with some of them. Not as a developer but as a user of the SSO multidomain 20-redirect hellscape
I wonder how many of us do this. I used to use Firefox for everything personal (e.g. social media) and opera for anything that's completely impersonal (e.g. I'd log into news sites) and work related. Lately Brave has replaced FireFox for everyday use; I only use Firefox for things that require being logged in to Google, like Google Calendar and YouTube.
I've been struggling a little in this thread trying to understand what these 'ops' teams as described are doing.

Being a human kubernetes seems to be the crux of it.

In my company, to hand 'ops' (kubernetes) the name of a repo and say 'build a pipeline', it's basically a matter of committing a gitlab-ci.yaml file.
For example, the union could have negotiated rules around an appropriate duration of working hours as well as the start and end times of such. E.g. unionized employees shall not have to work "after hours". Working hours are 9-5. Anything outside of that is paid at 1.5x. Employees can't work from home so as not to infringe on 'family life'.

And suddenly the union has made me very uninterested in performing my duties at that company at all. I want to be able to work with flexible hours. I don't care to be compensated at 1.5x just because I start at 8:30 and leave at 4 one day, then do 9:30 to 5:30 another etc. I want to work from home every day of the week and I'll manage the separation of family life and work just fine, thank you very much but instead of being stuck in transit hours each way and effectively spending at least 11 hours for work related stuff (actual work plus travel, coz you know, union rules prohibit me working from the train, coz it's not in the office and it's not 9 yet), while WFH means I get up at 8:58 and in a meeting at 9:00 and that's great!

Real life example btw. from where some friends work, not theoretical. While I am flexible to take the kids to school, summercamp etc. at the required hours and just work as soon as I come home and made coffee, they gotta plan everything around their commute and timing it so that they don't come in too much earlier than 9 (wasting their time) and not get cited for clocking in too late, e.g. coz there was traffic.
And the patient is affected if his parents or grand-parents are hospitalised or die.

Not so much if a sexual partner dies of cervical cancer decades later.
> My main guess for that special treatment is merely that tobacco and alcohol were global when we started taking care about global health issues, so we left them, but banned any newcomer

That narrative just doesn’t hold up.

Opium, heroin and cocaine were pretty much global when we started taking care about global health issues.

Not consumed by everyone all around the world, for sure, but readily available and consumed nearly everywhere.

Heck, heroin was considered a magical cough syrup safer than morphine at one point. It took nearly 30 years for it to be banned in the US [1][2]

Compared to tobacco and alcohol, it certainly is a young one, but cannabis and hallucinogenic mushrooms hardly qualify as newcomers.

It's strange that they're narrowly focused on myocarditis.

In the large scale Israeli vaccine safety study, researchers found elevated rates of kidney injury among covid survivors. Among confirmed pediatric cases the current hospitalization rate stands at around 1 per 100. There's some ascertainment bias going on because we don't know the true infection rate. Even if we're undercounting childhood infections by a factor of ten that works out to 1,000 hospitalizations per million.
Er, no, they didn't pay because Microsoft offered the upgrade for free. They did upgrade, they just didn't pay to do so. Hence "a bargain with the devil."
>There's a difference: Amazon can pay more. As you said, the millennials can't. Just like it's Amazon's choice to live with a driver shortage if they can pay more but won't.

But GP was talking about "any shortage", not just amazon's shortage. For the sake of argument I'll let that slide. I'm sure millennials can pay more. It just would involve uncomfortable sacrifices, and most people don't think that's not worth the trade-off for going from renting to owning. Likewise, amazon would like more delivery drivers, but isn't desperate enough to actually raise wages and/or improve working conditions.

>Based on their 2020 profits, they can pay more. $20B in profits, 170,000 deliverers worldwide. They could take 10% of that and pay those folks an average of about $10,000 more/year.

You forgot to include the cost of capital.
I can link to wikipedia pages too. This does not constitute an actual argument.
Gitpod looks awesome! I hope a CodeCommit integration is coming so I can use this in my environment.

The people who say latest javascript frameworks are just fashions are not javascript developers.

But what about Israel?

60 % of hospitalized patients are vaccinated:

> What is clear is that “breakthrough” cases are not the rare events the term implies. As of 15 August, 514 Israelis were hospitalized with severe or critical COVID-19, a 31% increase from just 4 days earlier. Of the 514, 59% were fully vaccinated. Of the vaccinated, 87% were 60 or older. “There are so many breakthrough infections that they dominate and most of the hospitalized patients are actually vaccinated,” says Uri Shalit, a bioinformatician at the Israel Institute of Technology (Technion) who has consulted on COVID-19 for the government. “One of the big stories from Israel [is]: ‘Vaccines work, but not well enough.’ https://www.science.org/news/2021/08/grim-warning-israel-vac...

Natural immunity offers better protection than the vaccine:

> The new analysis relies on the database of Maccabi Healthcare Services, which enrolls about 2.5 million Israelis. The study, led by Tal Patalon and Sivan Gazit at KSM, the system’s research and innovation arm, found in two analyses that never-infected people who were vaccinated in January and February were, in June, July, and the first half of August, six to 13 times more likely to get infected than unvaccinated people who were previously infected with the coronavirus. In one analysis, comparing more than 32,000 people in the health system, the risk of developing symptomatic COVID-19 was 27 times higher among the vaccinated, and the risk of hospitalization eight times higher. https://www.science.org/content/article/having-sars-cov-2-on...

Disclaimer: I’m vaccinated.
Totally! Wonder if people realize that the person who wrote a lot of these libraries (hooks) as part of the core React team wrote Redux before joining the team? Dan Abramov. Everyone soured on an older (worse) abstraction because the same engineer who build the abstraction thought about it longer and built better abstractions that were also easy to adopt. I think that’s super cool, and doesn’t quite fit the narrative that people are trying to paint here of “fad chasing.”
And don't forget to factor in age group, meaning the national average last week per capita for 18-74 was 5.x and Florida has a lot of old retired people, many moving out of places like NY this year. Then there's Texas with greater than 1M illegal immigrants most of whom were said to be infected, which I'm going to guess these factors skews the numbers for this year.
A huge essay by the FSF and no alternatives for the concerned users.

Alarmism just makes people even more scared to take the first step to move to any alternatives. When they realise nothing is lost, they will just stay.
That's nothing, I've ignored it for 10 years and I'm still writing HTML, CSS, & JavaScript.
Are you on Android? I keep hearing FireFox and extensions like uBlock work on mobile, but it doesn't seam to be the case on iOS.
Yeah. I should have been clearer on that. React has been steady in that the same code mostly still works.

That or I've just been lucky. Very possible. I have mostly ignored the fuss over redux and friends.
> the author posts often.

Oh hey, that's me :)

I'm a big believer in the idea of mastering fundamentals, and even explicitly mention in the mithril.js framework comparison page[0] that you can build production quality stuff with any framework (including of course mithril.js)

There's this pervasive notion with newer tech that new things must be objectively superior than old stuff, but the way I see is that everything comes with trade-offs, e.g. Rust may indeed be safer than C, but conversely it's also been characterized as difficult to learn/keep up with, and IIRC has a less broad range of target architectures.

I think, however, that reading resources like the "The descent to C"[1] article that's up on front page can help someone getting into C, but also Rust, and even someone who wants to gain some insight about how Javascript works under the hood, precisely because it's a resource more about fundamentals than C per se.

Similarly, there are fundamental patterns that appear over and over in competing technologies (e.g. routing in JS frameworks, or DI in object oriented systems), and this goes for even the design of said patterns (e.g. principles of encapsulation, composition and orthogonality)

I've even had success applying the search of fundamentals to other disciplines. Bruce Lee famously said "fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times". But one hidden insight is that in martial arts "it's all about the hips": once you "get" the insight about the role of hip rotation, all striking techniques improve by leaps and bounds. Many such "fundamental" insights exist, from insights about balance to insights about tells.

In music playing, one universal insight is that effortlessness is quite literally a matter of muscle relaxation (beginners often get stuck in a rut because they tense up unconsciously). Etc.

It's fun looking for fundamental insights.

no, its absolutely possible, as demonstrated by the numerous repositories that switched from cvs and svn to git. what you describe is a lack of desire to switch to another tool by your coworkers because you've been unable to make an adequate case for doing so.
Since Apple shared the algo, people who trade in these things already know how to get around it (just adjust the image so the fingerprint changes). People who trade in these things will probably turn off icloud too.

Similarly, governments could take a known image they want banned (say of a national embarrassment), grab some CSAM, tweak the signature on the CSAM to match the photo they want banned, and add the tweaked photo to the CSAM DB.
At my last company (a FANG) it was deemed too complicated/hard to learn

then feel free to build that tool on top of git. nothing is stopping you, given the existence of such tools today.
The argument is that the most common value should be first and the rest can be thought of as rare and almost ignored. I don’t always agree, but still prefer it to C syntax which I have to look up every time.
> All multicellular living things seem to do some information processing.

Even unicellular ones has to do it, that is what a complex adaptive system that wants to sustain its life-state has to do. But none of this is symbolic processing the way humans are capable of. Reducing intelligence to mere adaptivity simply makes it a useless term.
More pretty marketing gimmicks. Fix the god awful software and get your security in order and maybe I'll reconsider Ubiquiti in a few years.

This is nonsense, partisan propaganda masquerading as rational thought. Nevertheless, there are many countries that had similarly effective infection control, so even if you choose to believe your hate for China instead of the best unbiased assessments, check out New Zealand, Vietnam, ROC, Thailand, or Australia.

GNU/Linux as systems have good user experience.

The biggest complaint is in the area of applications.

Especially from long time users of applications that don't run on GNU/Linux, who whine until they have a pixel-for-pixel, event-for-event exact equivalent.

"You can't be serious about about GNU Replacement Program; why it doesn't even have anything like the Floozney plugin. How can anyone use such a piece of garbage. And the UI looks like it's from about 2013."
I believe that's because all browsers on iOS are essentially safari wrappers
Even large orgs can be like this, as long as they (the whole company, or more likely just the small part you work for) are growing. It’s usually much harder to hire managers. Just go anywhere that’s growing, prove you’re a competent tech lead by organising/coordinating your IC work, and you’ll get the manager twisting your arm to become a lead.

Ask how many reports the hiring manager has, and how many it was a year ago. If it was 10 and now it’s 20, that hiring manager is probably desperate to hire a lead to take care of some of the people managing.

I’ve seen this at Facebook and Google, so it’s not just small companies.

With startups, it’s much easier to determine if the team hiring is growing, because the answer is yes.

Edit: typos
>Ideally paying for it themselves since a vaccine dose seems to cost around $20-50.

Why discourage poor people from the vaccine? Surely the benefit to society(and the economy and the markets) is greater than the cost of that vaccine.
