> Once you are adding special endpoints for mostly just your UI, it's no longer strictly a general purpose API and the entire point of the design is moot.

Not really, it's a very valid solution when you have multiple clients (Web, Mobile, TV, etc) and multiple API calls in the backend. Netflix had a similar solution back in the day (not sure they still do) to solve the issue of clients calling multiple APIs.[1] Which isn't much different from calling multiple endpoints of the same API. When you have one client and know everyone else isn't going to use your API, it might be overkill. But if you have a very granulated API for general purpose (like, say, Twitter) but want your Web or Mobile clients to have a very narrow and specialized one, it makes sense.

I wouldn't consider this solution a failure, just the outcrop of a highly distributed backend system.

I don't think they can. Anything related to the EU is toxic within the current government, including relaxing immigration from Europe. Nothing will change unless we get a new government.
Anecdotally, the CEO of my company just died of Covid.
> the important thing is that Java 17 is an LTS

That's not _strictly_ true.

Java 17 is a release of the reference implementation, but there are a number of distributions from a variety of vendors.

Oracle are going to provide long term support for their distribution, and it sounds like many will follow their lead. (If you are going to provide LTS it would be a little perverse to be out of sync with other providers of the same software)

So, for all practical purposes, it is an LTS. But check with your vendor.
Instagram is jammed packed full of meme accounts pushing pseudo pop "psychology" This type of misinformation is extremely dangerous. Nothing is done about it.
> taking a booster shot and someone in a 3rd world country without access to vaccines is irrelevant

It is in a world with limited production capacity, unless you think improving the odds of survival from 70%->90% in industrialized countries trumps improving 0%->90 in the rest of the planet :

- The US factories are barely getting online.

- 80% of the mRNA vaccines production capacity is still between Switzerland, Belgium, Germany and Spain.

- Viral Vector capacity (non-Sputnik, which Russia licenses freely) is also mostly between Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and the UK, with some precursors in India.
There are two pictures that you could take of the situation. Classically, where the medium is smooth continuous stuff with a permeability and a permittivity, there are no photons, only waves. Quantum mechanically, where the medium is made up of lots of little particles, there are photons indeed, but no smooth medium, and no region where the speed is less than C (because there is no "region," only lots of separate particles). So there's one picture missing "photons," and the other missing "speed less than c," so you can't capture "photons in a region where the speed is less than c," in a single image.

I guess if you wanted to pose that question in a framework where a medium where the speed was less than c, and photons, could exist simultaneously, you would want an effective field theory (maybe). But you will have to get someone else who knows more than me to explain that. :-)
Alternatively: This is such a (potentially) big change, it's important to get right. I'd be disappointed if an inadequately-baked solution gets rushed in.

Another way of looking at it: This is fundamentally just a performance optimization. Java performance is already exceptional for most of Java's popular use cases (business processing). While valuable, I don't think this one feature is quite as important as you consider it.
Not with the delta variant.
I have been following this guy since 2010 and I have to say this is a fantastic project to read!
It’s kind of amazing to me that an observation that anyone could make based on their experience as a human living on planet earth gets discounted because there isn’t some peer reviewed study from Harvard or whatever that confirms the observation. Young girls are mean to each other, that’s a fact. We don’t need an army of data scientists to “look into it”.
Who is seriously clicking on this headline? Really? Come on , it's bots.
> when I hear "race is a social construct" it's almost always in the context of denying biological differences between the races in the same way that some extreme (though mainstream and influential)

Racial segregationists in the Americas literally had to write laws delineating races based on factors external to that individual (e.g. their parentage). That is: even people who believed in a racial hierarchy also believed it was not possible to objectively identify a person's race without knowing e.g. the races of that person's parents.

Race has never been considered a generally observable fact about a person.
Yes, but #.#.# is not a valid number/decimal/monetary notation. You cannot enter that number into a calculator, and I'm not sure you'd even be able to use that as a valid numerical value in any programming language.

For anyone getting confused that 0.1 == 0.10, then how is that the writer's fault? There are formatting requirements that require a significant digit number of places (scientific notation as an example). I don't know that actually applies to bank marketing material, but it could be a style guide type of thing to keep numbers formatted the same. Either way, it does not change the value of the number. If you misread it, it is not the company's fault. They have provided factual information.
There is some value in fitting in with society and showing those who are skeptical that there's nothing to be afraid of with a vaccine. And with more mandates going into place it's easier to just get vaccinated.
Sorry, I meant 2.4 was where they relaxed the restrictions; it wasn't until 2.6 that the kernel was reliably too large to fit on a floppy.
I know that a lot of us more tech inclined want this freedom. But grandma is never running toolchain on a computer to install custom software. What 99% of people want is cheap/free and they will give up privacy to get it. I see this as SK giving its citizens what they say they want. I wish that wasn't the case but it seems like that is the world we live in.
Relying on CI server to run tests is even slower :) Note I am not stating "don't use CI" as that is still an invaluable tool.

The waste I am referring to is time it takes to get that feedback whilst the work is being actively developed.

A simple feature of a controller (to borrow someone else's example) is to change the response based on an attribute's configuration. It is wholly astonishing that one needs a _web-server_ to test that.
Teen girls are always mean, in all cultures? You always can pick any non-universal human characteristic from your culture and with creativity find biological hipothesis to justify this. But this is very dangerous because it can easily naturalize prejudices, taboos and social norms that never were biological.

If you want to ask about these things, you first should first ask to anthropology how teen girls behave in different cultures before jumping to biological explanations.
Well, I don't know how accurate this is, but I sure do enjoy how it was written.
Hum, anyway they are making a lot of effort to sell doses around here (Brazil), even with an uncooperative government. And they indeed are asking for a smaller price than on the developed countries.

I guess the rich countries applying a 3rd dose is a net benefit for them, but they seem to be playing the "we will sell as much as we can" game, not the monopolizer "restricting supplies leads to more lucrative prices" one.
I know machine learning rules us all now, with blackbox algorithms handing down Brazil-worthy decisions, but I would like to understand how there was not an extremely basic function at the end, as a sanity check, that would SELECT from some table marked MiscreantEvents WHERE Infraction = 'PaymentDispute', totals them up, and then offers that as a comparison against the "Too Many Payment Disputes" that has gotten barfed out of said Byzantine black box? Surely if that number is zero that would be an excellent sanity check.
They shouldn't be difficult to track by an object in space with a laser I would think?

edit: curious why the downvotes? Would a device in space with a LIDAR type of device not be very well suited to tracking small objects that are difficult to identify with cameras from earth?
Most vaccines contain the actual virus. This vaccine does not.
While there is very little research on this (because Congress banned funding research on this after pressure from the NRA in the 90s), what research does exist does not support your assertion: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/27/states-with-strict-gun-laws-...

It's not about criminals not caring about the law. Shooting people is already illegal. It's about making it more difficult to access and acquire these weapons. If you can't access something, it is much more difficult to use.
I would like to nominate this research for an Ignoble Prize.

For about five weeks I’ve been trying a (slightly) modified version of this system: https://christine.website/blog/gtd-on-paper-2021-06-13

No system is perfect but I currently feel that it works better than what I had before. (A jumble of text files scattered across loads of different folders, which was much harder to work with.)
WASD doesn't work by default because I'm using a Dvorak keyboard layout. Using KeyEvent.code would solve this problem.
An armed populace does not prevent abuse by the government but the more level the playing field between the government and any given subset of the populace the harder it is to abuse that subset.

For example, the ability for Seargeant Jerk to feel justified in sending a SWAT team to your door at 4AM on the (plausibly deniable) suggestion of a government official who is highly peeved by your public criticism of his/her policy is directly proportional to how likely that 4AM raid is to go badly enough to attract media attention and the tough questions that follow. It's a hell of a lot harder to justify abuse when you have to put your people and your credibility as a professional in danger to do it.

Of course, things could still go badly if the populace is not armed but it's orders of magnitude more likely. And of course the government can still harass people without entering their homes but it's much less efficient.

Social media, viral content and dank memes make the people on a more level playing field with the government when it comes to disseminating information and coordinating (yes, this has downsides, so be it). Firearms (or any other tool of violence) perform similar functions but for violence. They serve as a force multiplier for the individual and decrease the size of the biggest group of people the government can marginalize. We don't usually think of information as being something the state has a monopoly over because few states do these days (i.e. basically just north Korea) but if you rewind the clock to back before the printing press all the parallels are there. The state/church held a tight grip on information but not violence. Today things are reversed with the state having near absolute power to enact violence. Holding a tight enough monopoly on either can enable near absolute control.
> That seems like pure nonsense and perhaps a way to market their goofy experiment to gullible journalists.

Grasslands evolved in symbiotic relationships with the animals that tread on them, just as in any other part of the biosphere. As long as the wooly mammoth population is kept in check by humans, since they are not introducing mammoth predators, they will aerate the ground, eat and spread seeds, and provide essential elements and minerals to the soil as a natural part of their excretion processes. It will also have knock-on effects as insects regain access to dung, and that will feed the birds, and the birds and their eggs will become food for other animals, and so on.

It's a lot easier to restore ecology that existed 10-20 thousand years ago than to wait millions of years for another set of species to maximize the biological output of a given area. Rewilding is based on solid science and is thankfully here to stay.
Rest mass is not conserved. Total energy is conserved, which includes both rest mass and momentum (E^2=m^2+p^2). Photons have momentum but no rest mass; ordinary matter has rest mass but (usually) little momentum.
That's what throw-away shell companies are for...
Young girls and young boys (and adults, etc) have peculiar behaviors that differ among groups. Statistically speaking. Of course this isn’t exclusive behaviors among groups, but young girls are more likely to do some things than young boys.

Since this article is talking about young girls, the interest is in behaviors and interventions that would be more impactful for young girls, as a population, than other groups.

It’s not blaming young girls to develop interventions that work to help based on the common characteristics. Nor is it blaming African Americans to study and create specific diabetes interventions to address the specific risks of that subpopulation. It’s not African Americans fault that they have higher diabetes and different characteristics of the disease and they shouldn’t be blamed for this condition. But to help, creating customized interventions will be more effective.

I would think it bad if there were only specialized interventions and no one address other parts of the population.
"Barge" is a much better word; thank you.

As far as I know (which isnt that far), it's pretty well known that "things people build" + water leads to impermanence. Anything on the water continues to exist because of constant maintenance. This thing didn't look painted.
Lots of articles from people that know more than I that recommend NOT doing this. If you need global state (and you may not, in fact you probably don't), then use a state manager. There are a lot for React; some more standard, some more simple.
> Sure, you can have a lot of control over the behavior of Python objects (some techniques of which remain obscure to me even after using Python for many years). But you don't have anything like syntactic macros.

Not yet, but there’s a PEP for that:

Doing a bit of sea lioning at the beginning there buddy. Who specifically won a football game? And when? And who came up with the idea? The outcome is the result of all the actions of all the members, coaches and owners of the winning team, and of the losing team that was working against them, over the entire duration of the game. It's an emergent, complex/chaotic system. But the winning team intended to win.
Okay. You are right about that.
Yes. There are research dollars for studies to "use AI to do a meaningless study on topics that are done better in other ways." Hence professors obligingly churn them out and journalists report them.
> I don't blame Facebook (or Twitter, or any particular company) for this.

Perhaps I would agree with you that I don't blame Facebook for the root problem here. After all, it's been around a lot longer than Facebook.

However, Facebook is actively providing the scale you're talking about. They are an accelerant. Not only that, they're making absolutely wild amounts of money while they do so. So, they have an opportunity and the resources to offset the damage done by the scale they profit from. But they have zero interest in doing so. I most definitely blame them for that.
Once the original Tomato fell off, DDwrt is such a shitshow, OpenWRT/LEDE has been the go-to for years this is neat to see because I didn't know about it
But surely deriving the WBT couldn't change the unit of measurement?

A measurement that has no unit is relative humidity. It is just a percentage. There is no way to measure relative humidity directly and get any other type of unit besides a percentage. Instruments that measure relative humidity directly measure in percentages.

edit: ah, you can use C2 = Celsius*2 whether you're talking about regular temperature or WBT. C2 is the 'derived' unit. Not WBT.

Yes you can use C2, but why not just use F which still has better precision than C2[1]? For low values of C2, you may confuse it with plain C...

Crossplane Moves from Sandbox to CNCF Incubator
I would go farther and make it relative to clusters of people on, say, Twitter. If an outlet is concerned with a lot of things that the progressive cluster of Twitter users is talking about (more so than many other outlets), that’s a strong indicator that the media outlet (and other outlets in its media cluster) is also progressive.

>Not everything has to be compared to Nazi Germany.

Exactly. And that's why he said East Germany and not Nazi Germany.

If you don't like it you can easily substitute in a plethora of other soviet satellite states that had secret police.
I love it. Nothing changed my mind, ever -- from the moment I bought from MtGox many years ago, I knew this was the most valuable asset on the planet.

I knew those keys would have to be protected with my life.
I loved the fact that it is ultimately the responsibility of the individual. Life is too 'safe', living on the edge where one mistake can mean bankruptcy builds character. No man nor state could take this from me, at least without direct, physical violence (and this can be mitigated through things like time lock contracts and physical security).

I knew one day people would hate for me for it, and would create a thousand excuses on why energy is bad, why money is bad, why Bitcoin is bad.. blah blah blah

I am even more bullish today than when I started!
I only wish I had more!
You might still get COVID every year then, or get various strains per year, like the flu. So COVID-19 won't be "behind you", but "with you forever <3".
Large impact cratering during lunar magma ocean solidification
I disagree. Japan, Taiwan, Korea are a good examples. They started by copying and making cheap trash. Gradually improving and catching up. It was not until the 80s when people started to notice that Japanese quality was up. Korea and Taiwan followed.
This is just speculation on my part, but maybe being cut-throat is the strategy -- it's just applied to both potential suitors and potential competition. If you're at the top of the pyramid then the easiest way to discourage both unsuitable competition and unsuitable suitors is to be mean about it.

> It's not my job to figure out the eighth order effects of publishing something on GitHub.

That's an argumentum ad absurdum. Would you say it is your job to figure out the 4th order effects? 3rd? 2nd? 1st?

Where do you think the job of technologists should end?
Anecdotally, my uncle who was otherwise healthy died months after getting the jab. And my sister's husband came down with some major fatigue/fever issues recently after the jab. So again, I took my chances based on the facts I had, yet I will get downvoted because they aren't in lock step with most of HN.
AFAIK rk3399 is especial in this area: its codecs need no binary blobs. This means it can encourage other vendors to do the same and get ryf-certified. ARM SBCs based on rk3399 can become the only modern affordable systems with ryf certification.
I just got an unsanctioned booster in NY (a 2nd J&J). I expect a 2nd J&J, though classified as a booster, to provide an immunogenic response comparable to a second dose of Moderna or Pfizer; the fact that J&J marketed itself as a 1-dose rather than 2-dose solution seems to have been motivated by a desire to get to market faster [0] rather than something intrinsic about the vaccine, and we already know that one dose of J&J ~= one dose of Moderna/Pfizer [1].

Now that many months have passed since our first dose, I think it makes sense for people who got Johnson & Johnson to get a second dose, and to treat it as a "full" dosage, equivalent to the Moderna/Pfizer/AZ shots.

I basically decided to go it alone, and diverge from our public health experts, when the CDC started recommending boosters for people who got Moderna and Pfizer shots and not for people who got J&J; as Alex Tabarrok pointed out at the time [2], that makes no sense. In light of that, I think we need to do our best to apply scientific reasoning to the issue, rather than deferring to people with scientific degrees and political authority.
