To be fair, humanity has adored these three traits throughout history. This adoration is somewhat built into us naturally. Our current culture certainly amplifies and capitalizes on it. Facebook is a big player within the current culture.
Ok, I'm not trying to take anything away from the developer here but calling this "masterful" makes me think you must have incredibly low expectations for webtech games and/or developers.

A few errors:

• There’s an &AMP; that should be either &amp; or &, depending on whether it’s setting HTML or text.

• The opening garbage text is mojibaked, so that it looks like… different, not as æsthetically pleasing garbage.

• The text that’s supposed to be like “7 SYSTEM(S) STILL OFFLINE” is getting mangled badly, missing much of the string and getting a bunch of U+0000s in it—unchecked and incorrect string indexing, by the looks of it. Hmm… “1␀␀␀␀␀␀␀␀␀␀STIL1␀␀␀␀␀␀␀” actually looks like something’s clobbering the string literal stillOffline. Ouch; that actually worries me, though I hope it’s largely just a side-effect of some shortcuts taken to keep the code tiny and not something that would normally be an issue?

Other than that, seems to be working well.

That's really burying the lede - all they are saying is that there should be bigger, more explicit forms given stating that that there is possibly a chance of ADE. That article doesn't even attempt to prove that as possiblity. They even admit that "Current data on COVID‐19 vaccines is limited, but does not so far reveal evidence of ADE of disease."
You are so right about AB's consistency. I home-brew and am a certified cicerone. One of the absolutely hardest things to do in brewing is having consistency from batch to batch. One of the things that AB has been able to do to help here is develop innovative food chemistry processes to test ingredients prior to use and a chemical understanding of all the flavor compounds in their product so they can blend different brew batches together prior to packaging to achieve the same ratios of flavoring compounds. Both of which are processes largely unavailable to smaller breweries and home brewers.

Consistency in your product is crucial in the food and beverage industry, because a buyer needs to know what they're getting. If you've already successfully sold them on your product, the repeat sale is only going to happen if they can be assured they're going to get the same thing they liked the first time. Nobody in the industry understands the importance of consistency better than Anheuser-Busch. McDonald's is right there with them on understanding this. Food and beverages are products like anything else, and just like with any product, once you achieve product-market fit, it's important not to make changes that would eliminate or chip away at the fit you have with your customer base.
Getting a LinkedIn profile will help here. Depending on how well your profile is, you should get some hits from recruiters.

On that page NHS seem to make a cost tradeoff for free flu vaccine since they have to pay the costs.

From the CDC

>Who should get a flu vaccine this season?

>Everyone 6 months and older should get a flu vaccine every season with rare exceptions. Vaccination is particularly important for people who are at higher risk of serious complications from influenza. A full listing of people at Higher Risk of Developing Flu-Related Complications is available.

>Flu vaccination has important benefits. It can reduce flu illnesses, doctors’ visits, and missed work and school due to flu, as well as prevent flu-related hospitalizations and deaths.

>Different flu vaccines are approved for use in different groups of people.

>There are flu shots approved for use in children as young as 6 months old and flu shots approved for use in adults 65 years and older.
Are they both mid or senior level jobs? and both on the 9-5 schedule?
They are easy o get, readily available and reasonably well distributed (nowhere near Covid-numbers so). I only took them when I was working at a retirement home years ago, more for the residents then for myself. I was, as not being in constant contact with residents, not required to take the shot (if memory serves well, nit that it would have made a difference anyway), care personal and those being in regular contact with residents were obliged so. One of the reasons I don't get the discussion about obligatory Covid shots for health care professionals...
> dead center

That's a bias that gets tugged around by the bias of extremes rather than the sensible. Sorry, I hate that term because it is often used to imply that you can average a wrong and a right and get something more correct. Often enough, one side[1] is decently close to right on an issue and the other is pretty much wrong. Picking the center of that isn't more right.

Often the quest for "neutrality" is bunk. In flat-world vs round-world, the flat-world is not with equal standing but the "neutral" seeking would often present as if the flat-world idiots have a case. While issues may have some subjectivity, we should not constantly pretend that there's an even distribution.

A neutral language meter can't ever hope to be right. It's not an analysis of what's well supported. Rather it's an analysis of assertiveness. I'm very assertive about the world being fucking round. I'm a red flag for such a bias meters.

Sorry if I'm going off but--I'll just go a head and say it--that term triggers the fuck out of me for getting undeserved validity.

[1] On a per issue basis. This is not to imply that one side is more consistently correct across issues.

>I don't blame Facebook (or Twitter, or any particular company) for this. We can only blame scale.

That's very convenient for the execs and shareholders at Facebook and Twitter.
I suppose so, but I don't think this was something that needed to be decided in court. 100% of software engineers had decided this was fair use already, and built the world on top of this principle. Oracle wasn't even testing the load strength of the bridge, they were just being Oracle: sue instead of innovate.
>If you consider it from the perspective that race and culture are typically conflated into just race...

I'd say that that only occurs in the odd case of 'Latino'. For some reason Spanish-speaking got amalgamated into a thing it didn't belong.
But it's not even really about Mona Lisa, the painting. Had the Mona Lisa been the only work of Leonardo da Vinci that the world knew about, it would be considered a work of at best minor significance. Mona Lisa is significant because it was painted by Leonardo da Vinci and da Vinci is significant due to the sum total of his artistic work.

Unless you also have the genius to recreate the sum total of da Vinci's impact on the world, you will never be able to recreate the Mona Lisa, because the Mona Lisa, as Art, only exists in the context of that impact.
> Is it to protect the vaccinated? This makes no sense, as the risk to the vaccinated well below the range we have accepted for decades.

What is the acceptable range? Older people are still dying from Covid even after 2 shots. If a third shot can improve someone's protection from death due to Covid, say from 70% to 90% [1], that sounds like a good reason to take that shot.

The comparison between someone in Israel taking a booster shot and someone in a 3rd world country without access to vaccines is irrelevant - at least until there's a serious global initiative to provide vaccines to everyone around the world.

[1] Original stats talked about 90% protection, but that has gone down since then. One of the possible reasons is the need for a booster shot. But we still don't know what level of protection the booster shot will provide.

I think that will change very quickly when we have a collision in space. I imagine SpaceX, for instance, would be pretty interested in cleaning up space junk if two of their LEO satellites collide.
Not really comparable in situation nor scale.

There are Apple stores but they don't really compete with the big box stores that sell Apple products. Though I would be interested in seeing data on where most Apple products are purchased from.

> I know that's not the side effects you were talking about, but when I'm changing my OOP stuff, that's the kind of side effect I'm most worried about.

That's not a "side effect"[1] at all. It's a logical bug in the implementation that only affects the function's return value. You absolutely still have to worry about those sorts of bugs in FP, which is why you still need tests or a fancy enough type system to prove the bug cannot happen (for your example that is unlikely to be practical).

"Without any fear of side effects" doesn't mean you don't have to fear anything at all, but it's one less thing to worry about.

Classic React. The subject of state comes up and a debate starts as the noobs squint at the screen. Pretty much the whole point of this thread/post. I started a significant project using React and tried for days to figure out how to handle state. After endless debate and conflicting advice online I felt I needed to speak with someone who has built a real world business app to explan how the fuck they pulled it off without pulling out their hair. (Still very curious but spooked enough to avoid sauntering onto a React project to find out.)

Confidence in a program's behaviour is not an all-or-nothing proposition. You can statically verify certain properties of your program (through immutability, type systems, linters etc.) without having to write a full formal proof of your program's entire behaviour, and you can gain more confidence in the entire program working correctly.

In the example you just gave (summing over a list of numbers), in almost all programming languages you'd resort to runtime verification instead, i.e. tests, just because it's so much more practical. But if you have a PFP language, you still have the confidence that the behaviour of the inputs and outputs is the only thing you have to test, since the function cannot do anything else.* Even in a non-pure FP language, you know that it cannot mutate other variables, although it might have side effects.

* Ok, it might loop forever or crash, but that's comparatively rare.
Yes! I'm trying not to sound smug or divisive. Plenty of good software is written in Go so it obviously has something going for it.

I'd love to hear from somebody who reluctantly tried Go despite initially caring about this stuff, and was won over.
The issue with space debris is that on our current trajectory, at some point in the future, there will be so much debris traveling so fast that future space exploration will be impossible because we'll never get anything off the planet. Not to mention we won't be able to have satellites. Possibly a nerd grift but the issue is important.
Uniformed? Tell me what part of what I said was factually incorrect. The only smear going on right now is from you and dang.

When was the last time either of you used IRC? It seems like you're going off surface level appearances here without understanding any of the context. This was an issue that had to be addressed for anyone from the IRC community to take Ergo seriously.
I agree. Although there's some truth to the gun argument in certain societies, it's definitely not universal truth. It's interesting that this argument is often made by Americans of all people, where guns - while very prevalent - do not equal political power at all. Also ironically all those who claim their guns protect them from tyranny do not seem to notice how their rights are taken away bit by bit and the gun makes no difference. When that heavily militarized SWAT team kicks in your door one day to arrest you for the illegal Twitter post, all good the gun does is that you can use it to evade arrest by killing yourself. Don't need a gun for that.
The problem is, you can tie someone up a long time if they're using your copyrighted stuff, even if it is fair use. This was a victory for people with deep pockets, not the little guy.
That and maybe a lack of people with the training needed.
Because any recursive algorithm that needs to backtrack requires special care.

That is, let's say I have a sodoku solver. I write a recursive solution wherein I guess the next value on the sudoku board based on the constraints. When an execution path completes and fails to be solved; my board is now populated with that 'bad' state, and I've lost the state I was in prior to the recursive call, at each level of recursion.

I either need to make copies at every step (very unwieldy and inefficient), or explicitly write the 'undo' mechanism for each step. It's doable, but it's extra bookkeeping and logic to keep track of. Whereas immutable data structures give me an ergonomic and reasonably efficient way to maintain the prior state, and to create the next state.

And, the mix of mutation and non-mutation constantly messes with me. Array.concat returns a new array, but Array.push() modifies the array in place. Array.slice returns a new array; Array.splice modifies the array in place. This -constantly- messes with me.

The lack of a feature is just inconvenience that I work around. Having a mix of modalities causes me to trip over myself constantly.
Great now we can spend the next 12 months deprogramming people from the lies they've been fed by the media. Or... We could just bury this and pretend like it's still not true and never has been.
Intel and AMD are both like that, and it makes me wonder how much space they have opened up for ARM. I would love a small x86 SoC if it came with the same level of support that an NXP or TI ARM chip has, but they don't.
As I mentioned on another thread, I just spent a few days in the hospital with an appendicitis. The hospital was swamped with COVID patients. It took 16 hours for me to be admitted to the hospital, which I was told was quite long for this hospital. My hospital roommate waited nearly 30 hours. The non-covid floor that I was on was severely understaffed, with nurses caring for 2.5x as many patients as normal. The nursing staff was run ragged.

I'm not sure exactly what we should do. We can't just refuse to treat the unvaccinated (I half suggested this before, which I regret), but we need to maintain our ability to care for other people. I didn't make a conscious decision that landed me in the hospital. My roommate didn't decide to let a spider bite his foot. The stage 4 cancer patient whose "elective" surgery was postponed didn't decide to get cancer. The heart patient who can't get an ICU bed didn't decide to have a heart attack.

I could imagine having regional FEMA/national guard run COVID hospitals. But where would the staff come from? There are a limited supply of trained medical staff.

I'm just not sure what we can do that's humane and fair to everyone besides just provide incentives to get vaccinated. We probably need WWII level propaganda to convince the unvaccinated.
From what I can understand, AFA meant that a manufacturer could lose their license to Google Play Services on _all_ of their devices if they produced _any_ devices using an Android fork. This is a clear abuse of market power.
Oh I certainly didn't mean to be dismissive of the negative effects on boys, it's just been far worse for girls and there's lots of data showing it (eg hospital admissions for self-harm)
I wasn't making a claim about what impacted house prices the most.

If I was, then I'd say a system where the government basically gives you free money/tax breaks if you buy a home, is the root cause behind the things you mentioned which then drives house prices.

The point is, without fixing that issue, you can't solve it by wage rises.

People who don't even want homes are buying them, either as outright investments that they can sit on for years, or as something they also live in, but need to treat as an investment, rather than a home.
> Maybe it’s just Stockholm Syndrome, but IMO Go’s “verbose” error handling approach is a feature, not a bug.

No offense, but I think it's Stockholm Syndrome. It reminds me of what the JavaScript folks used to say 5 years ago: "No, it's not a terrible language. I love JavaScript's callback hell." Of course once it gained promises/await, now they _really_ love it.

I've been using Go for the last year and while I do genuinely enjoy the simplicity of the language, Go does have these annoying little customs like pebbles in your shoe.

You can _say_ it forces you to think about error handling, but I find it does not. To be honest, I'm able to not think about error handling just fine. It just forces me to write boilerplate when I'm trying to crank out a quick non-robust prototype.
I wonder why HN doesn't have anything to say about this. The closest we can get is to have a pseudonymous account offer a half-hearted congratulations. Surely HN appreciates efforts to undo Nazism and historical revisionism?
It's actually not as stupid as it looks. There is a whole class of estimators [1] that use weighted average of quantiles.

True, FRP doesn't need to be asynchronous; it's just a very good paradigm to support multi-process computation and module composition.

As I said above, it just happens to also be a very good at handling state without a fear of side effects.
I understand the criticism from the author, but he missed a simple case to make the flow a bit better when a function returns a value and an error:

From the article:

if val, err := bar(); err != nil { // ERROR: val declared but not used
return err
}
fmt.Println(val) // ERROR: undeclared name: val

If you want to use the val after the if, you could use it in an else:

if val, err := bar(); err != nil { // ERROR: val declared but not used
return err
} else {
fmt.Println(val) // this is ok
}

No, it's a goof due to time pressure. It's been corrected.
The author wanted an adventure story and a happy ending. The grandparent makes a comparison to reading Moby Dick as an adventure story about killing the whale...

I think it's an apt comparison. If you want a happy ending, you probably shouldn't be reading these books.

The need for a happy ending is a traditionally American taste. So much so that they changed the ending of Clockwork Orange, and other imported novels.

>the AI might have found some other indicator, like filenames in the data set

The paper quite explicitly goes into testing and disseminating what exactly the AI detects. Two observations:

- the classification clearly was primarily based on the visual content rather than spurious metadata, because various transformations of the visual content had the expected impact on classification correctness

- the classification clearly wasn't based on one specific feature of the visual content but rather on multiple factors in the visuals, because various transformations to features (including masking out specific features like bone density) produced results matching expectations (usually gradual decrease in accuracy, with some thresholds).

Conversely, if the classification was primarily based on factors other than the visual content, the visual transformations would have had negligible effect - possibly up to a threshold, and then would throw the AI completely off.
How much further is society going to allow this kind of thing?

"what these corporations are doing is literally destroying the basis for a developed economy.... [They] have all collectively routed around the rule of law which is necessary for sustained economic growth over time.

In countries with strong rule of law:

1. Property rights over land, equipment, and personal items are clear and protected by law.

2. Contracts between people, businesses, and the government are effectively enforced by the legal system.

3. Political accountability is high and corruption is low.

4. Business regulations are clear and enforced in a transparent manner.

In such environments people make long-term investments and build large organizations. In contrast, if the property rights and contracts are not enforced and the business regulations are not clear, most of the economy consists of small family owned firms with little modern equipment. A high-tech, prosperous economy would not develop.

Effectively, there are no contracts anymore in the digital economy. There is no predictability anymore. There is no accountability. There is no responsibility. There are no requirements for performance anymore. In sum, the US digital economy is rapidly becoming the equivalent of a third-world economy, complete with crony capitalism and digital robber barons."

On the other side, just take a "Tragerl" of beer (German beer crate with 20x0.5l):

- It weighs much more than a crate of 20x0.5l aluminium cans or plastic bottles

- it is more voluminous: glass bottles have way thicker walls and they need plastic spacers to prevent the bottles from crashing each other, whereas cans and bottles can be shrinkwrapped just fine)

- the return logistics are simpler: glass bottles and the crates have to be returned to the brewery to be refilled, whereas PET bottles and aluminium cans enter the normal, regional recycling stream

The switch to plastics has saved lots of money and environmental pollution in logistics. What was missed though was regulating recycling capabilities of plastics - compound foils are impossible to separate, for example - and mandating that plastics not end up in garbage, e.g. by having a small deposit on each piece of plastic sold.
If zero-covid doesn't work (it won't IMHO), necessary immunisation levels can be reached either by

a) have enough people vaccinated

or b) have enough people infected

Not sure why people come to the conclussion option b) would be a good idea...
