Can you elaborate? Pronouns have never been "optional" for casual conversation. You're saying you now feel, I guess, compelled to declare them or something? Or are you mad that people expect you to use pronouns they want you to use? What's the beef here?

This kinda sounds like knee-jerk conservatism. It's different and new and forces you to learn new habits (true), and therefore it's bad and an erosion of civil society (false). This kind of skew has happened REPEATEDLY in society in the past, you just didn't notice.

To be glib: how many times have you used the word "negro" in the past year?
ublock can block everything umatrix can but reverse is not true. It had been the case from beginning but people are not aware. So I find ublock much more satisfying.

Interesting. This isn't sensitive information. If you don't get it, you have no way to evaluate the offer. Therefore these are hard pass questions. You must be only finding bottom tier startups, I suppose.

Great filter question because it's very easy to just walk away from them without any further consideration.

I was replying specifically to the first paragraph in the parent comment that other apps on iOS are not able to implement content blockers. Firefox Focus does appear to do just that. Obviously, not as effectively as uBlock Origin (thanks for testing!) but uBO isn’t yet available to install on Firefox on iOS.

(Edit since I can’t reply):
Firefox Focus does appear to implement iOS content blocker since it appears as an option under Safari settings for content blockers.

Last year, I built a little widget thing in plain JS with Parcel[1]. It took away 100% of the tooling I used to spend a couple hours nailing down just to get started. When I need small JS projects that don't need a framework, etc, I'm likely to use Parcel in the future.

Ask HN: Have you tried coding in VR?
It seems to me that in VR a virtual desktop could all a lot of screen real estate. I love lots of area to program and debug.

Has anyone tried this?
Was eDRAM ever used for L2? I thought its latency put it firmly in L3/L4 camp.

Is that equivalent to disposable income? What percentage of people in the US are left with $24 (or less) disposable after 40 hours minimum wage?

> Drivers of school buses, semi trucks, and similar have federally mandated drug testing, non-CDL delivery drivers don't.

False, at least where I am.

I learned to drive school bus, and they drug tested my class before we were allowed to test, and every month, there were random drug tests.

I quit after 1.5 days because of the stress and the constant push to get kids to school on time over safety.

Who’s getting pensions in government? I thought they were all 401k now.
This is a very good point, but what alternative line in the sand do you draw? I would personally set the bar pretty high to showing purposeful control of behavior that is not the direct result of an evolved organism or species survival instinct, i.e., eating, fighting, fleeing, and mating doesn't count. Resourceful looking for food could count, as could certain camouflage maneuvers during flight, or multi-member hunting and defense, and all tool use. Definitely deception to win mates
Extremely stable and fast, although the difference in UI can take some getting used to, since the Start menu is so cut down. I'd recommend installing OpenStart to get a more traditional experience. Windows Update is stripped out entirely, so I eventually went with LTSC for the sake of drivers and such. If programs like WuMgr ever stop being able to control Windows Update I might go back to AME.
If you think that, you can buy it on someone else's behalf.

At the moment the argument seems to be whether people who believe the cost outweighs the benefit outweighs should be force-vaccinated and made to pay for it. There is a simple solution to this Gordian knot - let people do what they want to do. The vaccine seems to be a good idea that is unsuccessful at stopping the virus, so there is no need to force everyone to get one.

uBlock Origin is cool, but the reason I stopped using it is that any web page stopped opening on my work PC. Never found out why, used Adblock Plus since. Considering going back now.

Obviously the twitter hive-mind went too far in singling this one guy out, and SDG&E colossally fucked up in not doing basic due diligence before firing him. That doesn't change the fact though that there are people out there who do indeed use the hand sign to unironically mean exactly the things that 4chan set out to convince people that it meant. Sticking your head in the sand and pretending otherwise is nothing short of willful ignorance.

Identitarian does not mean what you think it means. In fact, it's basically the exact opposite. I also have no idea what you mean when you say it has no ability to change anything. Are you talking about identity politics? Politics that specifically aim to better the position of people in certain subgroups? Because there are many political movements that have been wildly successful in doing that, women's suffrage, the US civil rights movement, universal male suffrage, the LGBTQ movement. There's a lot of politics based on group identity that has been successful.
How to build silos and decrease collaboration on purpose
You actually don't mean variants you mean a future new strain that achieves escape mutation.

That won't escape T-cells recognition to the currently circulating strain of the virus. Once everyone is vaccinated or recovered the disease burden of any future strain will go down by an order of magnitude at least.

This is what happened with H1N1 which became endemic as simply seasonal influenza. After being displaced in 1957 by H2N2 it circulated in pigs for 50 years before jumping back into humans in 2009 -- but people born before 1957 still had cross-reactive T-cell immunity to the H1 protein of that virus. Existing human coronaviruses now just cause the common cold, even though HCoV-OC43 may have caused the last great pandemic of the 19th century with the 1889 pandemic.

These respiratory pandemics all burn out as they transition to endemic spread and nearly everyone gains cross-reactive immunity to future strains.
> Why would young people take the vaccine if natural immunity protects better?

1. not everyone has natural immunity.
2. many people don't know whether they were actually infected with Covid or not.
3. It's not always better. (https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s0806-vaccination-pr...)
4. because if natural immunity gets you to x% protected there is no downside to taking a vaccine which gets you to (x+y)% protected.

> Young people aren't at risk anyway.

This is actually completely false. Young people are at less risk. Healthy young people are hospitalized and die of Covid just at a much lower rate. Not only that but they can spread it to older people that are at higher risk.

> And the vaccine doesn't stop the spread of Delta

Correct. It doesnt stop it (it's now endemic), but it lowers the transmission rate.

> This is wrong. Correct would be "are less likely than unvaccinated persons without natural immunity to acquire SARS-CoV-2 or to transmit it to others"

Nope. Whether naturally infected or not, vaccinated makes you less likely to get Covid. (https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s0806-vaccination-pr...)

> Even more baffling is how everyone seems to ignore we have a cure that works really well!

It's not a cure, monoclonal antibodies are a great treatment that is not ignored, but it's better not to get sick in the first place!

from your article: "patients at high risk for disease progression, hospitalizations and emergency room visits occurred in 3% of casirivimab and imdevimab-treated patients on average compared to 9% in placebo-treated patients."

That is not a cure. It is a good treatment to take if you need it.
Ironically those changes are why I'm still on Android 8.1.
Your response smacks of implication that the labor price is fair, and that the minimum living handouts people were getting are somehow wrong?
>Like other respiratory viruses, SARS-Cov-2 is seasonal.

There have been three peaks so far, roughly January, May, and late August.

So I guess it's seasonal, if by seasonal you mean it's cycled in winter, spring, and summer so far.

Nothing before last winter compared to the three peaks we've had since. So we really have no information on a yearly cycle, especially since vaccination, however it plays out, has affected 2021.

O’Reilly also stopped selling individual ebooks some years ago, giving only the choices of subscribing to Safari Books Online (or whatever it’s called now) or buying print books from a retailer or buying some books in bundle sales on other sites.

If anything, O’Reilly made a good argument to pirate individual books by this poor business decision.
Considering that this is pretty novel, I’d guess that Android v9 offers some APIs that aren’t available in earlier versions.

Either way supporting something that was released 3 years ago (and available to devices bought up to 5 years ago) feels very much reasonable for a new product.
The vaccine does not prevent “natural immunity,” it enhances it. Hence why they can optimize by getting both.

Treatment is good to have available, but has not been enough to bring the death rate down on-par with vaccination. It also does not contradict vaccination, but is best in tandem.

Oh, I was using "Content Blockers" to refer to apps that implement Apple's Content Blocker API: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/cre...

Firefox (standard and Focus) and other iOS browsers can block ads and trackers, but not as comprehensively as that API can. That API is limited to Safari due to platform restrictions, which I hope get removed in the future.

Very interesting. Could be a hedge against ARM.

Some of the fact-checking I've seen from big social media companies has been pretty terrible. Facebook marked a post I made providing Covid infection fatality rates for each age group, according to the CDC, as "false", and used this article, which says that the claim that Covid has a 99% infection survival rate is misleading (originally claimed it was false), to justify it:

https://www.logically.ai/factchecks/library/15703323

First, the article uses Case Fatality Rate as a measure of Infection Fatality Rate:

>>As of June 2, 2021, the number of COVID-19 cases recorded globally stood at 171,965,446, with 154,479,061 recoveries and 3,576,887 deaths, which equates to a mortality rate of two percent

Number of cases recorded is not the same thing as estimated number of cases worldwide, which is what is used to provide an IFR estimate.

Second, the observation that risk factors are not uniform across the population does not contradict a claim about the population-wide infection fatality rate of covid. Stating a disease's total survival rate in no way implies that there aren't sub-groups at heightened or lessened risk.

Third, the claim that 'Defining the term "survival rate" is questionable because, at this point, there is no accurate way to measure the rate' is misleading, as the same applies to every infectious disease, yet we use best scientific estimates to inform policy decisions, and no one has ever claimed that publishing such data is misinformation.

On top of all of this, Facebook misapplied this fact-checking article to my post, which broke down the IFR by age group, and did not even claim the whole-population IFR was "99%".

After the fact-check article relabelled the claim from 'false' to 'misleading', Facebook did not change the label on my posts from 'false' to 'misleading', and does not provide a means for me to appeal its labelling.

All of this is totally unacceptable when a trillion dollar plus companies is purporting to 'fact-check' a post. Its process for fact-checking should not be this sloppy, where Facebook itself becomes a purveyor of misinformation.

It's one thing for some regular Joe Blow to post misinformation. It's another for the party with the full weight/authority of being the platform provider, and all of the credibility that comes with that, to post misinformation.

they may or may not have been appropriate 18 months ago, far before the vaccine was even a thought.. but they definitely lasted too long and artificially raised the price of labor..
I trained as a school bus driver, and when we got drug tested, a lot of over the counter stuff could show up. We were also not allowed to drive under the influence of any drugs that had not been cleared, even prescription. And clearing a drug was on a case-by-case basis, though it mostly operated on the honor system.

Uhhh .. while overall I agree more with you and less with klelatti, you appear to have missed Thumb2, introduced in 2003.

Original Thumb was 16 bit opcodes only, and you could switch modes in a program between Thumb mode and ARM mode but not mix 16 and 32 bit instructions together.

With Thumb2, 32 bit opcodes (completely different to original ARM opcodes) were added to the original Thumb 16 bit opcodes, and you can freely intermix them, just as you can with RISC-V with the C extension.

With ARMv7 Thumb2 is the standard execution mode used on iPhones and Android and so forth. While ARM's Cortex-A application processors continue to implement original ARM mode, the Cortex-M series is Thumb2 only (except the M0(+), which is Thumb1 plus just a couple of 32 bit instructions).

I'm personally surprised that ARM dropped 16 bit opcodes in their 64 bit ISA -- I was right from when I first read the manual in 2012. It hurts code density a lot. They pretty much managed to match x86_64 and maybe they thought that was the only competition they would have and it was good enough.

It's true that fixed length instructions simplifies very wide decoders. But ARM has not after ten years built a core with a very wide decoder. Only Apple has. And having two lengths doesn't hurt much, especially when you can tell which length you have from examining just a couple of bits in the instruction (two bits in RISC-V, three bits in Thumb2). It's certainly much much easier than x86 where you have to decode a potentially unlimited number of prefix bytes, several opcode bytes, AND a possible modrm byte just to figure out how long the instruction is.

Even x86 is a solved problem. For cold code you have to do it the hard way, but for frequently executed code in loops or common subroutines you can just add a few extra bits to each byte (or block) in the instruction cache storing the length of each instruction calculated the last time it was executed. As instructions are limited to 15 bytes, in the simplest (but most wasteful) implementation you need to add 4 bits to each byte indicating the length of the instruction that starts there. But adding a single bit to each byte indicating whether an instruction starts there would do the job too.

Solved problem, basically.

That extra bit makes the instruction cache 12.5% bigger, but this is more than made up for by the 25% to 30% code size reduction from having 16 bit instructions available.

And with only two instruction lengths it's probably not even necessary.
Absolutely. Ublock origin is probably one of the highest impact products on my life. I would have a measurably worse time if it didn't exist or didn't work as well as it does. And it is free!

The developer is a saint, and it just occurred to me that I should donate to their project.

How does staffing for school bus drivers work? I imagine they have to have a pretty exact number of drivers? They can't really have too many or too few, how close to the exact number do they have to get, or how do they handle underages/overages?
Quite grandiose for something that was DOA and dated on arrival. The paper itself admits that designs based too much on current (80s) tech won't help guide you to future UIs. And they haven't, thankfully 'cause SAA/CUA was ugly.

"The retail executives and police officers emphasized the role of organized crime in the thefts. And they told the supervisors that Proposition 47, the 2014 ballot measure that reclassified nonviolent thefts as misdemeanors if the stolen goods are worth less than $950, had emboldened thieves."
One thing I heard, and have absolutely no idea if it's correct, is that submarines are given giant hard drives to have uncrackable encryption.

Basically, use a sufficiently secure source of randomness to produce a couple copies of an enormous (terrabytes, probably) one time pad. When the sub comes to port, deliver the drive using armed guards. When sending or receiving a message, use a section of the random data to XOR your message. If each section is only used once, none of the data can be decoded by someone without the one time pad.

I also imagine the NSA is willing to give an honest helping hand to the US military. Whereas any other entity has to hope any help from the NSA is honest, and likely doesn't include the best known bits.

That might be why - I've never actually used the first edition of Win98, only 98SE.

To relive the experience again, I just tried installing a VM from a 98SE retail ISO and besides installing rather quickly and booting up in around 5 seconds from power-on to desktop, the whole experience felt very serene in comparison to installing anything Win8 or later --- no continuous disk activity from a hundred background processes, no in-your-face adverts or notifications pestering you the first time you see the desktop, and no attempts at being cutesy or infantilising. You get one "Welcome to Windows" app that you can easily close (and it's a regular window, not a full-screen horrorshow) and elect to not show again, and the closest thing to an advert is a single "Setup MSN Internet Access" icon on the desktop. It doesn't do anything else until you tell it to. The OS behaves more like a tool, instead of treating you like one.

More amusingly, the IE5 icon looks remarkably close to the Legacy Edge one --- it's just as flat --- and the VM shuts down in around 1 second.
It’s probably not ideal tbh. You can whitelist stuff that’s blocked, but it involves logging into the admin console and whitelisting either manually or via a recently blocked request, easy enough for techies but I wouldn’t back it for non techies.
