If climate change really was brought about by the industrial revolution, then the only solution is to go pre-industrial, and of course you would have to do something about the excess population that you need industry in order to be able to take care of.

And if climate change is as serious as we're told, why do the people who warn us the most always buy the hundred million dollars beach side properties? Don't they know that'll all be underwater in a couple years?

I'm at a point where I've accepted if it's real, we're all screwed anyways. So I just kind of don't care anymore. I see no point stressing myself out about it every day. Either I'll get killed by the climate change, killed by the only possible method to stop it, or not get killed... 2:1? There are certainly worse odds in life.
FWIW, I really like knowing that X was written in Y. If I'm learning Y, it gives me another thing I could look at and see if I can pick up something useful. If I already know Y, it might still be interesting to see if there's anything special about writing X in Y, instead of or compared to Z.

It's a bit disheartening to watch gripes like this become more and more common on HN. It used to be a place where people were a lot more interested in sharing points of view and exchanging information, than criticizing anything that can be criticized.
It's been a long time since I've run a VMWare cluster, but that's exactly what they told you to do - oversubscribe memory and let their memory dedupe, balloon driver + swapping handle the case where you run out of physical RAM.
It's as if work is just toiling, but in reality it is not. Some people may just love meeting people and calling the shot. Some people may just love reading papers and tweaking and building systems. Some people may just love deriving equations and writing papers and giving talks. They call such activities work, but they enjoy doing them.

What matters is not hours but choice: can one choose to use her time at her own will? If she can, then I don't see any issue at all.
> they are a more traditional "standard" vaccination (adenovirus vector)

Are viral vectored vaccines “more traditional” and “standard”? They’re relatively new too aren’t they?

It’s a genetically engineered virus that injects its DNA into the cell nucleus which instructs the cell DNA to produce mRNA that instructs the cell to produce virus spike proteins.

By comparison, mRNA vaccines at least skip the cell nucleus step and inject mRNA directly into the outer cytoplasm, no need to interact with the DNA in the nucleus.

It seems the only really traditional and standard vaccines are the inactivated virus ones like Sino that inject dead viral material. Those are the type we’ve been using for decades.
Specifically, PRNGs based on cryptographic algorithms (CSPRNGs) resist loss of existing entropy from having new, low entropy sources appended to the stream.

To my thinking, what is more important is that you don’t fool yourself about the amount of entropy from one source, or among sources. Two entropy sources that are dependent variables may be good separately but not together. Like the timings of keystrokes and network packets may be affected by the scheduler, or the fact that you are typing into a remote editor session which is bouncing ACKs back, or auto saving every time you hit enter or change focus.

What rights? Businesses have the right to refuse service. Governments have always required vaccine verification. This is just whining. There are no rights implications here.

Also calling me a nazi isn't really appropriate, I don't think.
The problem is that the immune system is an incredibly complex and dynamical system that almost nobody with only a general biology understanding is equipped to understand. It's even worse if you have no familiarity with biology.

Your general bio classes in college gloss over immunology to a point that it's practically a misshapen lie. (Not unlike undergraduate general chemistry.)

You have to read and study a lot more to understand and describe the behavior of the system such as the parent poster did. And that's just one small detail in an elaborate series of interacting mechanisms.

It's so weird to see the world impacted by something people are ill equipped to understand. And it makes you wonder about all the other crises we deal with where you have absolutely zero bearing for understanding.

Agreed for sure that working with C and C++ is the only way forward for systems languages. Rust's expression of this is the zero-cost C FFI, using native platform tooling, and stuff like that. Rust was never about re-writing the world, after all, its reason for existing was to eventually improve Firefox. The very first presentation about Rust (http://venge.net/graydon/talks/intro-talk-2.pdf) says "We are not “rewriting the browser”. That's impossible. Put down the gun."

Zig's cross compilation stuff and general compiler features, that this post talks about, is excellent, awesome, and makes me quite jealous frankly.

There was no economic "blockade" until 1932, after the Irish government refused to pay land annuities to the British government and a rise of protectionist policies.

In reality the reason Ireland didn't face any sanctions immediately after "independence" was because it was mostly token independence where the economy was still heavily intertwined with Britain and little industrial development took place. This was maintained between 1923 and 1932 as the status quo benefitted the large ranchers and middlemen whose side won the civil war.
Title when I commented was something about nothing else being important except climate change
That's kind of beside the point. With natural infection, the risk of severe illness is also much higher. So for most people trying to get "better" immunity by natural infection is not a good tradeoff. It's kind of like saying that since it's extremely rare to get bitten by a shark twice, you should try to get a shark to bite you once in order to acquire "immunity" to sharks.

I think time is the ultimate measurement when using dishwasher. The trick is to know if you can load the dish washer faster than you clean it by hand. You start measuring at the point you stand in-front of the sink and end when you press the start button.
From what I have learned over the past months wrt variants and vaccine efficacy, the delta variant has a mutated spike protein which allows it to more easily and I believe more quickly bind to host cells and begin inserting its genetic information.

I understand that the spike protein is the most saturated target of the known immunological study, vaccines have been mainly targeting this protein. Normal immunity works on the current variant of infection and will react to these mutations.

As an aside, the protein is very interesting, check out this[0] linked animation of the viral insertion, note the dramatic conformal changes.

The mutations in particular variants might achieve a little bit of infection speed, and a little immunological camouflage, both seem to support allowing faster replication.

I don't know because I am not a doctor or virologist, but I would conjecture that the vaccine still prepares our immune responses to target this kind of protein, so it can somewhat more easily learn the new signature and produce antibodies.

> The miss is that the article in the link doesn't discuss VMs or virtualization at all, so talking about oversubscription/etc seemed like an ad-hoc commentary on the hardware configuration unless I totally missed that in the article

There is a giant table in the middle of the article that is impossible to miss if you read it. It literally says # of VMs. As well as calling out VMware, and z/VM as tye hypervisors in use. The oversubscription is a simple math problem, and that's assuming best case scenario.

Yeah, it's become bad from a reader/viewer/listener/player standpoint as well.

Until then I rely on personal recommendations, such as occasionally in the comments here.

Extraordinary claim: Vaccines cause negative side effects that can't be detected until years later.

Please cite a case where this extraordinary claim has held true. Where a vaccine has caused a side effect not noticeable within the first year.

Globally hundreds of millions have been vaccinated and we've had enough data to get really precise numbers on even the absolute rarest of side effects; which are vanishingly rare and pale in severity and incidence to the disease in the wild.
> Running a memory bound benchmark

I can easily write a memory bound benchmark that makes all CPU cache irrelevant. The only thing that actually matters is real world performance which is why actual benchmarks are so critical.

Now in 2021 we are going to force kids to interact with their peers with a facemask on to make sure they never get to build a competent immune system.
I have seen this "alternative explanation" or variation on it used as an equivocation to justify the choice to go without being vaccinated.

I recently saw a social media post of a person in an ICU with Covid expressing regret about not getting vaccinated, and urging others to get vaccinated. One of their "friends" commented in response to the post with parent's "alternative explanation."

Would someone please share a link to source data showing that infection severity between vaccinated and unvaccinated is not similar?

> Would it be fair to say that Zig is to C, what Rust is to C++?

There's definitely something to that analogy, but I think it also misses a lot of really important details. For example, Zig has generics, which right off the bat makes it hard to say that it's "like C". Also Rust enforces memory safety, which isn't like C or C++.

It is not the wearer that cloth masks offer protection to but to their environment. That's mostly achieved by slowing and diffusing the exhaled air and making it less likely that the infectious droplets reach others in the first place. I wouldn't want to have to wear one now that it's almost exclusively the Delta variant making the rounds but they were an acceptable measure against the wild variety/Alpha.

Look for a study from Jena, a town in Germany, that issued a mask mandate weeks before other regions if you are curious.
OT. Does anyone know of a good open source library to read "Data Matrix" 2d barcodes? The ones I found are either broken or extremely slow. The frustrating part is that there seem to be many mobile phone apps which can do it just fine, but I want to run this in my own code on my desktop machine, so each barcode can trigger an appropriate action.

The headline itself is an example of a question that answers itself.

Another example would be "if you've saved up a lot of money, why don't you spend more?" Well because I saved it by not spending too much.

And in this case, "success" is working long hours, because of what these workers believe. Success is the appearance of working hard, and having put the effort in.

The article doesn't really address income/spending, though. Are they making excellent money because of working so hard? What do they do with it? If they spend most of it, they have to keep earning to sustain their lifestyle.

Of course, some people spend little, work hard, earn a lot, and perhaps never reach "enough", where they can work less, spend a bit more, and actually enjoy the fruit of their labor.
Most people don't enjoy working 70 hours a week.

I believe Netflix does care about total hours viewed, because it’s a strong predictor of churn as well as pricing power. The more time consumers spend on Netflix, the more they value it, and the less likely they are to cancel (even when the price goes up).

> I’m worried that my immunity is weaker

It is my understanding the effect is additive. The vaccine shows your immune system a small but important part of the virus so your immune system knows to respond to those particular proteins in the future. A natural infection exposes you to more proteins, so your body also recognizes those as dangerous.
