I sadly cannot convince my parents to stop taking the damn stuff. They both got Covid about 2 weeks ago, despite being on Ivermectin for months, and after the typical 8 day sickness, thankfully recovered.

I did check their dosages with a physician friend [who promptly facepalmed] and they're in the "safe" range, sigh. At least they won't die of tapeworms.

Hey, Streamlit co-founder here.

This should just work out of the box in Streamlit:

If that doesn't work for you, do you mind posting in our forums? I'd love to get to the bottom of this!

Not sure what you mean. These articles are all from 6+ months after the first panic. At that point, the theories were already long merged and spreading wild. They were already present from the first days in January 2020, when China's situation became epidemic. And this didn't really change till spring 2021 when everyone cooled down a bit and sanity returned a bit.
Perl was built initially as a sed/awk killer but got distracted into trying to take over the world. The interpreter for a language with 100x the number of features will always be slower. Also there's a very clear boundary for when I should use awk by itself, as part of a pipeline, or switch to a better tool. I feel like Perl has the potential to suck me imperceptibly into a huge mess where I spend 80% of my time refactoring everything.
To your point, they could've partnered with TransferWise/Wise.com or OFX to build a white label app that allowed for frictionless remittance and fiat management for their citizens and "wallet management" (ie deposit accounts), and your usual fintech wallet accounts. This would be no different than the UK's Faster Payment's service being a managed service by Vocalink [1]. Some have proposed the US Fed issuing FedAccounts, deposit accounts held at the Fed with no fees, to sidestep inequity and predatory behavior from commercial banks. This would be very similar, except the El Salvador government outsourcing these functions (as they rely primarily on the US dollar as their currency) and the cross border exchange. Onboard citizens using their DUI (Documento Único de Identidad) or Passport number, voilà, they're banked and can store or transfer monetary value. Subsidize physical hardware for those who can't afford a smart phone.

Does El Salvador need a blockchain or crypto? No, of course not. They need inexpensive facilitation of domestic financial services and cross border remittance to reduce currency import drag.

Instead, inept politicians (for various reasons out of scope for this thread) are going to cause a lot of suffering, but it will be helpful to have a case study to point to in order to demonstrate the nation state policy failure. This is worse than being reliant on another country's monetary policy and central bank. You're tying your economy to a speculative asset with few governance mechanisms. C'est la vie.

You and I have very different understandings of the word narrow.

That's 58% vs 42% just counting the votes that went to the PPC/Conservatives. 39% vs 28% looking at all the votes in the riding. The rhino candidate got less than 2% of the votes in the riding.

It definitely didn't actually change the results.
But the total amount of data stored in the Lightning network is even more absurd. Not only do we store "A has paid B 1 SAT" for all time, we actually store "A is paying C 1SAT for B; C is paying D 1SAT for B; E is paying F 1SAT for B; F is paying B 1SAT".
Hence "appearing to be" and if this is working, then perhaps that's why their popularity has stagnated for so long.

Or people don't really like them.

A middle finger to the IMF sharks is a good start to fix a country.
Problems with the article aside, I will make a de rigeur observation:

Unsustainable agriculture, decorously defended as "economic" with its innumerable deferred and eternalized costs neatly ignored in polite company, is a civilizational dead end.
>We have also uncovered some security holes.

What security holes? The first tweet seems to be some sort of some sort of app saying it's a virus, and the second seems to say that it collects IMEI information. Neither constitute good evidence of "security holes".
This looks awesome! Any way to subscribe for when a Linux version is available?
Here is my journey with this book so far:

I decided to follow the book but write in Clojure (at least the interpreter) instead of Java.

This went well, but then I decided I also wanted to write the lexer as a state machine in a data DSL (nested maps).

This went kind of well, but it seemed incredibly verbose, because a ton of states would have the same input messages, so I decided to write a macro that maps regular expressions to tokens one to one and produces a (data DSL) state machine that later drives the lexer.

Then I realized that I get a non-deterministic state machine that I needed to convert to a deterministic one.

Then I decided that the string representation of regular expressions suck, and that I want to write a DSL for those too...

Then left at the above, switched to a few other books in between and am trying to decide whether I should ditch the lexer entirely and just use s-expressions. I probably won't, because it's fun so far, but boy did I get sidetracked...
Here's the framework I use: "tech companies" are those where tech still plays a significant factor in the growth of the company such that it's important to an executive level.

Example: Google is still a tech company. As much as some might view search as "solved" (just like it was when Google was founded I might add), search continues to get better. Tech still plays a significant role in the actual core business (ie advertising) too.

I once again return to the Steve Jobs take on why Xerox failed [1]. An effective monopoly devalued the tech such that Xerox became a sales and finance company.

So, returning to Netflix. I agree Netflix isn't a tech company anymore because Netflix ultimately is about serving several thousand VODs and that problem is solved. Now Netflix's core business is about making content, licensing content and acquiring and retaining customers.

Obviously doing this (or anything) at scale is a lot harder than it sounds but at the end of the day Youtube is monumentally more technically challenging than Netflix due to the number of videos, the number of viewers, the advertising and live streaming.

"Tech company" is still a useful classifier IMHO.

Nice work with your jobs page.
Why is Microsoft a "software company" but Google a "conglomerate"? What's the difference?
Congratulations El Salvador on replacing the Federal Reserve with Paolo Ardoino's unlimited Bahamian money printer (note that all executives at Tether received DOJ target letters for bank fraud recently [1] - and are banned from doing business in New York [2]), and letting your exchange rate be managed by Alameda Research and Cumberland/DRW [3].

I can't imagine this going poorly in any way what so ever.

So join me and Bukele in raising a big ol' middle finger to the IMF. [4]

Maybe next they can move to Bitfinex Securities, a Kazakstan corporation, to manage their stock exchange! [5]

[edit] I mean, holy shit, what did I even write? This truly is the dumbest timeline. Well, second dumbest - after all the entire country of Albania got swept up in Ponzi schemes, jailed their finance minister and had a civil war over it. You know what they say about history rhyming. [6]

No, coding tests are not the "literacy tests" you have described, and if they were, why would some minorities be performing even better than Caucasians on them?

Coding tests examine the type of work actually required to be done on the job (as coders), and they have been correlated with post-hire performance successfully. Someone who is not familiar with efficient data structures will not write scalable code and will end up creating a burden on their teammates during on-call, for example. Asking someone to solve an engineering problem with a provably correct answer is an objective test for hiring engineers, and I will have a difficult time continuing to engage with anyone who counteracts this basis of reality and truth.

When I was hired there were three coding test rounds and one interpersonal round. You might argue that the latter is where racial discrimination seeps in, as well as the recruiter outreach step itself, but somehow I am optimistic that a bunch of tolerant Californians have moved past applying a Literacy Test here already by hiring a majority immigrant / minority workforce. In my situation, my recruiter was also an Asian-American minority.
Ehh. Until the 'job' gets extended and then your simple tool makes it exponentially more complex and you have to rewrite it with the more powerful tool.
I didn't think much of the Bonsai Browser when I saw that it was MAC only. I decided to check out the comments anyway, and I'm glad I did. The Monocle personal search engine that you referenced looks like an exceptionally useful tool, and I will definitely give it a try.

Yes, I did notice the comment about a Windows and Linux version coming. I'll check out the Bonsai Browser when the Linux version is available. I suggest that the developers post on HN again to announce when the other versions are available.
I did not intend it to be negative - just something worth exploring in more detail. Not every response is wild disagreement!

But yes - it is common for teenagers to take on hourly jobs.
I see "African grey parrot singing along to I can see clearly now", "Cucumbers are cat's enemy - Funny Pet Reaction | Purr Purr", "Cockatoo Farts and Runs Away", "House Relax: Ed Sheeran, Martin Garrix, Kygo, Dua Lipa, Avicii, The...", "Venezuela 1-3 Argentina | Eliminatorias a Qatar 2022 -...", etc.

This is because yesterday I looked at videos of Alex the African grey parrot.

As far as I can tell, there are no ad agencies or think tanks involved here, except I guess that Atlantic Records made Ed Sheeran more popular than he was already by promoting him. I think this is pretty much purely "videos that people are gonna click on".

The propaganda is in what's missing.
Some comments:

1. The LLVM API is designed as a C++ API, and if you're serious about using LLVM, you're likely to have to actually work with the C++ API directly. There's a C API which is theoretically more stable than the C++ API, but it is very heavily gimped--it has basically no support for metadata, for example--and is mostly feasible only for the most basic usage entirely. Since the author brings up needing to use custom metadata, that suggests that they are intending to create custom optimization passes which is basically impossible except via the C++ API.

2. The complaint about metadata was very strange to me. I have had to work with custom metadata very recently with my work in LLVM, and I've had nothing like the pain the author suggests. (I've also had to deal with TBAA, which is definitely an area where LLVM lacks sorely in documentation, particularly examples). The "defined before use" just simply isn't an issue, because metadata is supposed to be global, so there is no define or use...

I took a look at the llir library the author was using. On a quick inspection, it appears to be a library for generating textual LLVM IR without having to link to LLVM at all. Oy. The problem isn't LLVM, nor even the LLVM IR itself. The problem is your library to generate LLVM IR.

3. About the SSA issue. LLVM actually does have facilities to generate SSA correctly without going through allocas (though that might be challenging to use for codegen instead of in the context of an optimization pass). But, as established above, the author is purposefully using LLVM in a way that precludes them from availing themselves of this feature. Note that LLVM specifically recommends that frontends generate variables as allocas in the entry block and letting the optimizer generate the SSA for you (see https://llvm.org/docs/tutorial/MyFirstLanguageFrontend/LangI...).

4. I'm not entirely sure what the author means when discussing variable scope, but my guess is they neglected the "in the entry block" part of the standard guidelines for generating variables. If true, I'm left scratching my head where they got their answer to the SSA issue from that didn't mention that part--it's a very important part of generating alloca's correctly, and getting it wrong means you have some very broken mental semantics as to how it's supposed to work.

5. From the final paragraph, it seems the author's final step is to... write a parser for LLVM IR, and then convert their custom-parsed LLVM IR into SMTLIB2 code. As opposed to having LLVM parse the IR itself, visiting that IR, and then doing the same. Just... no.

This isn't to say that LLVM is perfect in terms of documentation--it is very far from it--but a lot of the issues seem to be related to trying to actively avoid working with LLVM itself.
It seems like an irrational made up meme that risks becoming a self full filling prophecy. Much like the view that the only qualified interviews are Google interviews.

> The law as written goes far beyond a mainstream political belief. There is no civil reward for turning in or reporting or suing a child rapist, serial rapist, a pedophile, a child abuser or a cannibal or a serial killer, much less someone that assisted them. None of these are legal activities in any state or country.

I'm not defending the law, but it seems it's written like that only because the Texas legislature has been prevented from legislating directly to address what they see as a legitimate issue, unlike in the other areas you listed. The law's structure is a kludge to get around that limitation.

You'd probably see similar kludges if the Supreme Court set similar permissive precedents in the areas you listed or areas of polarized moral sentiment (e.g. gay conversion therapy).
I'm presuming since that one is to twitter instead of Apple, that this one gets preference as source.
But to be honest i have had my files there for few years unencrypted and in US without realizing, so it's not that encryption was needed or anything special, but it just sucks to be a victim of marketing practice advertising "your files are under the jurisdiction of Switzerland" and find out that they never been, then it's a good service? It's debatable, it's cross platform and has good client support for Linux OSes, but from mobile for example i have never been able to show to friends pics and videos, always timed out, and i have good connections, i.e. TMobile and Vodafone for mobile (I'm Italian living abroad)

But whether or not you need encryption, is that ok to advertise something that you don't have?
Three different electricians I used, from 3 different companies and 2 states, did not know what inductive coupling was or knew how to avoid it.

So I suspect it is not in the building codes. I don't think the codes say anything about about low voltage wires.
What a little authoritarian you are. :)

That train of thought applied across the web would end up a clusterfuck. Who decides what and why?

Authors can already post whatever links in the description, why do you want to force someone to do something?

> It didn't matter what their UX or uptime was or how smooth their video codecs, they didn't have enough content I wanted to watch.

Netflix has developed a novel data system (as evidenced by papermill) that is likely responsible for countless decisions that manifested the content which brought you back. I don't know first hand but I suspect data is integrated into their everyday processes in ways most companies can't even dream of. Does that make them a technology company again?
So maybe make all algorithm-generated decisions be vetted by a human.
These are great snippets! Although, your last snipped definitely shows the readability problem (even though you do a good job with it!)

Because each intermediate step is async as well, fetch can definitely turn into "callback hell" (really, promise hell) that the old callback style of JS used to be well-known for (and was resolved in large part by jQ-style chaining in the form of promises).

You might have a look at this link, especially the "Differences with jQuery":

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API

"The Promise returned from fetch() won’t reject on HTTP error status even if the response is an HTTP 404 or 500. Instead, it will resolve normally (with ok status set to false), and it will only reject on network failure or if anything prevented the request from completing.

"fetch() won’t send cross-origin cookies unless you set the credentials init option (to include)."

With regards to CORS, you have very limited options as well: no-cors, cors, same-origin. I've definitely had issues with CORS requests that didn't apply to XHR (and jQuery's AJAX by extension.)

"Note that mode: "no-cors" only allows a limited set of headers in the request:

"Accept
Accept-Language
Content-Language
Content-Type with a value of application/x-www-form-urlencoded, multipart/form-data, or text/plain"

For example:

"Note: Access-Control-Allow-Origin is prohibited from using a wildcard for requests with credentials: 'include'. In such cases, the exact origin must be provided; even if you are using a CORS unblocker extension, the requests will still fail."

The latter quotes from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API/U...
But that mostly doesn't matter. The consumer doesn't care if their movies are coming from a server handling 10Gb/s or 100 Gb/s or 400 Gb/s. There's cost savings there, but I imagine that content costs dwarf delivery costs at this point.

There is some technology component where the UI, resposiveness, reliability, and so on impact the user experience. But still content is king there. The HBO apps suck and their streaming is less reliable than others but they've got the content I wanna watch so I put up with it.
Cool idea :) It would be nice to see before and after results on your website so I know the program "works" before I spend $800.

Cars have been in the small incremental improvement camp for decades which is why they’re not considered tech. Tesla is the outlier because they are pushing a revolutionary change not just incremental ICE improvements and are valued as such on the stock market.

Auto makers could turn into tech companies again but their risk tolerance has to be turned way up.

For those that can’t access the article, here’s the key sentences:

“In recent weeks, however, more data has become available, and it suggests that the true picture is less alarming. Yes, Delta has increased the chances of getting Covid for almost everyone. But if you’re vaccinated, a Covid infection is still uncommon, and those high viral loads are not as worrisome as they initially sounded.

How small are the chances of the average vaccinated American contracting Covid? Probably about one in 5,000 per day, and even lower for people who take precautions or live in a highly vaccinated community.”

I have a fear of heights that I cannot control. It terrifies me. I jumped multiples times from planes (solo, not tandem), however it doesn't seem to help.
I used to live in Africa, and the park rangers would do controlled grassland burns, every year.

I now live on Long Island (New York). We have the Pine Barrens, out east. They are an important filter for our aquifer, and are (rightly) protected. I have family that was heavily involved in establishing said protection.

Scrub pines (what makes up the Pine Barrens) are supposed to burn, from time to time. It's actually something that is required, in order to ensure the trees continue reproducing.

A few years after I moved here, (early 1990s), we had a major Pine Barrens fire (accidental). We have not had one, since, and I don't think anyone has the political stomach to do a controlled burn.
Actually “gli/ti hanno plagiato la mente” is a sentence that, as an Italian, I have heard often.

It's not. The consensus (here at least) seems quite clear.
