Baseless speculation: perhaps they do actually throw away chips? They only really target a premium market segment so perhaps it's not worth it to their brand to try and keep those chips.

Hello Yarn 2, Goodbye Node_modules
"cancellation" isn't exactly a new issue.
Android on 64-bit ARM uses the MSB of pointers for a tag. There are 2^8 NULL pointer values at the hardware level there.
It’s about 65 pages so not really small, but the RFC for IRC client protocol looks like a relatively easy thing to implement since it’s mostly sending/receiving ASCII and taking action based on the message received. https://www.irchelp.org/protocol/rfc/rfc2812.txt
Pandas indexing system is overly complex and I've never personally benefited from that. To start with there are __getitem__, loc and iloc approaches to accessing values. If your library constantly has to warn users that "you might being something wrong, read the docs!" that should be a warning sign that you don't have the correct level of abstraction. R has a much more sane api and assumptions about when you want to access a value by reference (which is almost always) and by value.

Then when doing basic operations like "group by" you end up excessively elaborate indexes that are in my experience useless and always need to be manually squashed to something coherent.

It's a common joke for me that whenever even a seasoned Pandas user cries out "gaarrr! why isn't this working!?" I just reply "have you tried reset_index?"... this works in a frighteningly large number of cases.
> part of me thinks he should be taking a more active role in setting up the right conversations to get me promoted

Nah, in my experience, if you want it, you need to go chase people yourself.

"Stagnation" is very personal question. If you're happy with your work-life balance right now, then you're happy. I know of people that have been happily working at the same company (in a few cases, in the same role) for 10, 20 years. But also, stagnation can be a double-edged sword, in that it may cause you to lose your edge (happened to some people I know). I myself thought being comfortable was fine early in my career, but when the opportunity presented itself, I decided to take it and now I don't regret it. You can think of it as a new challenge to master new skills.

IMHO, there's no correlation between seniority and working long hours. Just like it's on you to pursue networking, it's also on you to set your schedule and office hours expectations (i.e. if you let work dominate your life, that's kinda on you)

It's safe to assume that the majority of the people on both this specific post and this website as a whole are not teenagers, thus probably can't understand how the situation is like for us.

I get so frustrated by this stuff.

Here’s where you went wrong.

Your number is not based on efficacy last week. It’s cumulative!

The vaccine efficacy wanes. For those who get a vaccine 8 months ago, it’s almost worthless now.

The worst part of you logic, you lump all risk groups together! A 90 year old is not a 20 year old. Argh! People have been doing this, even public health people, since the beginning of the pandemic. Teenagers and children have never been at risk really. It’s not about you, it’s about high risk groups. Old people, obese people with diabetes over a certain age.

I get so very frustrated.
This is quite an interesting thought experiment. As noted by @aspaviento, they were able to resist smoking, regardless of surrounding influences.

Do you have any comments on the tactics used by cigarette companies -- specifically in the United States -- before the 1998 "Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement"? When I was a kid, the amount of advertising by tobacco was incredible. It was unavoidable and everywhere... and any cool or famous seemed associated with cigarette companies.

Even if you ignore smoking cigarettes, the topic of smoking marijuana will surely be a major issue for current and next gen parents. How would you parent around this issue? It is so complex.
Look at the Apple A12x. They disabled a GPU core in it for the iPad, and then in the A12z they enabled that core. This was likely to help with yields. Then with the M1 chips they decided to sell a 7 core version of the chip with the base level Macbook Air and save the 8 core version for the higher trims.

Even Apple is susceptible to it. But Apple doesn't sell chips, they sell devices and they can eat the cost for some of these. For example if a chip has 2 bad cores instead of selling a 6 core version Apple is probably just scrapping it.
Counterpoint: If high school is a hellish experience then why are only the smart kids recommended to skip it? It would seem that the most mature would be best at navigating an experience like that.

High-school (and puberty) should simply be made to not be a terrible experience for everyone. Good luck with that without a dramatic cultural shift.

Stop blaming random companies. Control your daughters maybe. Facebook has no moral obligation to 'protect' your teen girls. Funny how people wine about "others" rather than controlling what they can.
It might indeed be harmful for teens, or lets say overall unhelpful to them.but there are many examples where Facebook provides useful information, helps people stay in touch with family and friends or even date.

That's all well and great, but your comment as an insider directly implicates Facebook CEO of perjury by lying to congress. During a hearing he claimed all users were treated equally. This is clearly not the case.

In other words:

Hyperinflation can be avoided by sound monetary policy. Bitcoin's value dropping off a cliff happens because of "market forces"—which are not something we can say "no, let's not do that" to.

Bitcoin does not make a reasonable currency by any stretch of the imagination. It's a speculative vehicle.
Something I would like to see in Java is for functions to return multiple (named?) values. I think it will reduce boiler plate code considerably.

They can take the hit and live without their data, thereby making the world safer for the rest of us. Focusing only on their own personal problem is the definition of selfishness.
IMO, A simple social media site focused on pictures wouldn't be nearly as damaging on its own. What's really causing the issue are the filters and photo editing, which has caused "beauty" standards to hit extremely unrealistic levels, and their self-esteem plummets.

I put beauty in quotes because many of those filters are extremely unattractive, making their skin look like plastic and lips look cartoonishly large. Sometimes, they don't even look human. And it baffles me that everyone knows the photos are altered, and yet they somehow expect themselves to look like them.
Yeah that's true, the Starbucks "house" beans they use in their stores are nearly soot, and the coffee tastes like it.
> And it really doesn’t seem to, because all this research says is “if you’re infected with a rhinovirus at the exact right moment immediately before catching COVID, there might be an immune benefit (or it might trigger a cytokine storm). Catch the rhinovirus before or after that point, and there’s no immune benefit whatsoever”

That isn't what this says. This research looks at one aspect of the immune response (interferons), and concludes there's a benefit to up-regulating interferon response early in SARS-CoV2 infection.

You cannot leap to the conclusion that "there's no benefit whatsoever" in other situations. The research didn't look at other questions.
Yes, it's impossible to produce, distribute and vaccinate eight billion people for a virus that mutates every few months and one that can persist in animal reservoirs.

> Biden administration seems to have asked

Nowhere is that reported, or even suggested, in the links you posted.

Two researchers resigning in disagreement is seriously, seriously different from the administration forcing people out.

One is researchers protesting decisions by their own senior leadership. The other is the administration censoring scientific disagreement.
First, there are parallels to some Software Design heuristics. The focus on simplicity, complexity hiding, graceful error handling, generalizing and reducing the surface of interfaces etc. come to mind.

So the way you structure and write your code has very much to do with wanting to reduce the mental taxation of the reader (you included).

In the UI, UX and HCI world the concept has obviously a lot to say as well.
From the preprint ( https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/2107/2107.10356.pdf ) : " In this

VP9 is an open source, royalty free video codec. It is developed by Google to provide a free alternative to things like H264 and H265. Implementing codecs for both of those require paying licence fees.

Codecs can be in software, but can also be implemented in hardware which is much more power efficient. This change enables the Linux kernel to use hardware VP9 decoders so that software can decode (play) VP9 video much more efficiently when that hardware is available.

How much money would SpaceX lose per day in that event? I imagine the thread of a cascading set of collisions becomes more likely after the first one, also.

That's unfair. I'm trying to overrule bad reporting, not experts. The experts made a nuanced point which seemed reasonable, and the reporters screwed it up.
its not about the price but the ability to create chip that fit what you needs. For example: YouTube is now building its own video-transcoding chips.

The biggest cost of making chip is the foundry and the foundry ecosystem have reduced the cost to where everyone can be a fabless and just outsource to foundry like TSMC and Samsung.

Fun-fact: Intel's 12th gen desktop CPUs will no longer have AVX-512. Well, I mean, the cores do have it, but it's disabled in all SKUs. So to do any AVX-512 development and testing at all you will need an Intel Xeon machine in the future.

That's not quite correct. Neither contains the spike protein. The delivery mechanisms are two different ways to tell the cells to produce the spike proteins. The immune system then learns how to respond to the spike protein presence.

The mechanisms are the payloads. They're different formats of the spike protein recipe.
Yeah, that's exactly true. It's cargo culting. Super models are beautiful and popular, so if I pay for a photo shoot I am also beautiful and popular seems to be the logic of many "influencers".

> What you call lifestyle changes I call “need to make a decision”.

Well I'd suggest not downplaying it that way. Going from a junk-food-and-soda diet to a healthy one is a huge shift in lifestyle. You don't just make a decision one day and that's that. You have to make that decision several times a day, every day, for the rest of your life.

Not getting enough exercise? You don't just sign up for a gym membership and consider it done. No, that's just the first step. Now you need to show up at the gym several times a week, and put the work in over and over again.

An alcoholic doesn't just decide to stop drinking one day, then poof they're cured. That decision is just the beginning. What follows is some mix of white knuckling in the beginning and an ever-present vigilance to maintain sobriety. It's not just "I don't drink anymore", but also "I need to come to terms with this issue or that relationship", and "I can't hang out at the bar every night anymore". It's a long-term project, not just a decision.

Getting a vaccination is not like that at all. It really is a single decision, once made, and never thought about again.
> i just got used to working in vectors and arrays for computational tasks.

Have you worked with R? R, like matlab, natively supports vector based operations. In fact, all values in R are vectors. Many of the problems with Pandas ultimately boil down to the fact that you have to replicate this experience without truly being in a vector based language.

"Forth" is just as easy a typo for "fourth" as "quater" is for "quarter". It's uncharitable to assume someone is using the wrong word when it's just as likely that they made a typo or misspelled the correct word.
I mostly agree, but these experts need to calculate how many shots this really is (~150Mil) and then look at how many shots are still needed in the rest of the world (~10Bil). So if everyone who had a single shot also got a booster, it would increase this time by 1.5 (or less since distribution and production rates increase with time)?

Prioritizing the elderly in developing nations (rather than the wealthy and politically connected) and speeding vaccine production (likely Adenovirus rather than MRNA due to encapsulation and cold-chain bottlenecks) would have order of magnitude larger effects on deaths than preventing booster shots. The number of wasted shots is closing in on the number likely to be administered.

Delaying immunization school children for the school year (barring much higher than expected immune side effects in unpublished data) is likely going to be another own-goal for the FDA/CDC.

> I've had to rely on key sharing quite often (even requiring manually requesting keys a bunch of times) for E2EE to work reliably.

This is because it's papering over edge cases in E2EE.

> Having the sending party re-encrypt messages for a new device require the other party to be online

We never make senders re-encrypt messages like this, and we never would.

Firstly, key-sharing from the sender does require the other party to be online already.

Otherwise, if you have the keys in an existing device, you could get them onto your new device by backing them up on the server - or using "dehydrated" devices; where the 'new' device you log into is actually one which is stored encrypted on the server, and "re-hydrated" into a new device when you login... and so already has your keys. These have security trade-offs obviously (what if your online backup gets pwned? what if your dehydrated device gets pwned?) but it's not obviously worse than exfiltrating the missing keys from the sender.
"cancellation" has been more of a left wing attack in universities. Maybe if the right wing starts doing it too, everyone will realize they need to stop.

> So, sure, the cities and their people can try to end their "obsession" with driving. But for the other half of the population it is not an obsession. It is a requirement and no change in the design of cities (not where they live) is going to change that.

For many more suburban areas, taxes are not high enough to support ongoing infrastructure maintenance, subsidies are required. Typically, developers pay the up front cost for infrastructure when building a new development, so the city avoids having to install infra, but then the maintenance costs end up kicking the city in the butt in 30-50 years. If they don't continue growing by building more housing and attracting businesses, places enter decline.

Suburban housing is very attractive to Americans, but over time becomes very expensive to keep up. Eventually, these suburban towns will need to adapt and allow better uses of their land, or they'll need to become so expensive that the taxes can cover the ongoing maintenance.

Cities can absolutely transform a car dependent area into a more productive one with additional transportation options. It'll require a lot of change, likely to zoning and possibly a land value tax instead of property tax. We'll see what happens in the coming years, but there are already plenty of examples of towns/cities going bankrupt because of their infrastructure maintenance obligations.
Can not tell if this is sarcasm or not, but I'll suppose not.

Do you mind sharing your WebUSB use case(s)?
The only "solution" (if any) I can see to counter the negative experience (& associated PR) would be involvement in the appeals process, where you are allowed to effectively "state your case" via video call or submission of evidence, but this draws a thorny parallel to the judicial system, and I doubt Legal would sign off on such a process.

There's also the question/option of considering reputation, which also brings up scary thoughts about China's moves in that area. If you're complaining and are a well known highly voted participant on HN, YouTuber with thousands of subscribers, etc the risk that you as a public-ish figure are trying to scam is lower.
My point is the same. You, like Biden, want to argue semantics, which word to swap out that is "less offensive" but says the same thing.

Even if the word isn't offensive, and you have no idea how many find it as such, if any. That's the priority.

All pointless to solve the actual issue, but makes a great show and distracts people.

Unlike Biden, you had no power to change the immigration laws, so I don't hold anything against you.

But yes, this is about media bias and word usage. Let's just chalk semantic debates up as a tool used in that bias.

Experience and observation are a great place to begin an investigation. Of course if you're not careful, they can incorrectly color your results. As you say, anecdotal beliefs are not necessarily facts.

That said, the error I see more commonly is that the observation is perfectly valid, (or at least roughly valid) but the explanation is poor. People believe in the explanation because they feel so strongly about the observation. This is a fallacy I see over and over again. (and is often something I've seen leveraged in scams: "You've all experienced X. Here are some emotional stories about X. Now let me tell you how I have all the answers to X.")

I've tried to make it clear that my idea is not proven, but is something that I think is reasonable, and will hopefully lead to an interesting discussion. I'm definitely not suggesting that I have access to the truth, or that my idea is fact simply because I've explained something using scientific terms.
