You are totally misunderstanding how this works. Accounts are closed because somebody files a complaint, usually somebody capable of the language and with a serious interest in taking down somebody.

In Germany this is usually done by political opponents, "activists", cancel-culture people and surely trolls too, and it has nothing to do with Facebook being originally a US-based company. From legal perspective, they are german company in Germany (and similar in most other countries too) and have to react to requests by authorities too. In China and Russia they (would) have to deal with the local laws too, if you like it or not.

As I explained before, these accounts are (usually) not spreading misinformation, they are doing the opposite: critizing stupid government activities, talking about medicial issues with the vaccination etc. And this is a major problem in Germany, as every critique is quickly shut down.

It doesnt matter what you think or believe, it's a fact that this is happening, and it's a big problem for every science-based society.
> is definitely not compliant with HN rules

This I agree with. Similarly, elitist virtue-signaling like "gutter language" and "among civilized people" aren't compliant with the rules either.

You're free to check.
I don't really understand any of your objections.

> Also...They are measuring Vaccine Effectiveness not Efficacy

Effectiveness is what we care about, i.e. real world results. Unless you have some evidence to believe that the distribution chains between the vaccine providers were so imbalanced that one got tainted more than the rest. And if that's the case it would still make the result useful to decide which vaccine you want.

> during March 11–August 15 (mentioned twice)

Any study is going to be bound within a period of time. What makes you think this period was so special it would not be effective to present a comparison between the vaccines?
I don't think "future proof" has to be tongue-in-cheek.

There's about a billion buzzwords that are misappropriated which'll make everything slower, but behind the buzzword there's typically some insight that'll help with some problems when they're not just a catch-all buzzwords.

Personally, I don't actually think the following is a terrible tactic for most of our CRUD apps.

- Start with a fullstack monolith framework because it's probably going to be the fastest and simplest way to market.
- Break up the monolith. Microservices everything!
- Use some buzzword system that'll help facilitate this ( your testing an operations just got harder, it's a trade off, k8s now might make sense ).

Stepping away from just following the fad, at some point, if you're successful, your company is going to be complicated enough where you have, for example, 5 ways of sending emails. None of them quite complete enough to handle blacklisting, delivery failure, debugging, or audit logging. Que the email gateway service.

You now, if done right, hopefully have encapsulated the email problem into a single codebase, run from a single location, owned by a single team, that understands the issues and actually completes the implementation. If you go into this eyes-wide open, it doesn't need to be a massive problem when it happens.

Of course, this doesn't always go well. The most common failure I see in big orgs is it gets political, gets stolen by architecture, they bootstrap an internal services team who refuses to release anything until it's done, dissapear into the void, whilst banning any other development org from working on the problem.

This has less to do with the path being wrong, and more to do with the culture being wrong. Give the problem to someone who needs to release something, i.e. the onboarding team sends most emails, they can build the common email gateway, and they'll accept PRs as it's not the only problem.

Of course YMMV. It depends. :)
I didn't miss it, I'm aware of the Force Touch touchpad on new Macs. I just think that it isn't all that important because tap-to-click is usually the better option anyway.
I guess the main point of Force Touch is that it removes another mechanical component that could wear out or break (like HDD => SSD).
One random omission from the no man's lands in both Wonder Woman and this blog: dead bodies. The mortality rates for frontal assaults were incredibly high, and there was no way to collect the bodies of the dead, so the corpses would just rot and in a year or two you'd have skeletons all over the place.

Depends on what you mean by 'tools' but I would say the Marshall plan, roughly $100B in today's money, would be a good example of this.

Explicit investment to rebuild Europe after WW2.

Some say this was because they learned it worked out badly to leave Germany broke and broken after WW1 (fertile ground for facism).
Others might say it was because a prosperous Europe wouldn't be as likely to become communist.

Either way I think it counts as an explicit mega investment in preventing war by peaceful means.

They could have just decided to invest the money in weapons instead.

I don't really see where you're coming from. The article doesn't mention the word senior in it anywhere, which makes this argument akin to a straw-man for lack of a better word.
There's some benefit to the businesses in that people who otherwise wouldn't have heard about them can find them more easily. Personally I order a fair bit more frequently since I can pay by card and I rarely have cash at home.

In the UK the most popular service is probably Just Eat and until recently they didn't have their own drivers. I assume this also meant they took a smaller cut of the order.

Caching best practices and max-age gotchas (2016)
There are lots of different types of fittings. For glass chips where you etch the glass and bond another layer of glass over to seal you often have surface mount ports that you clamp on over a small hole and cure in an oven to bond. These give you a threaded port.

https://darwin-microfluidics.com/products/nanoport-kit-for-1...

It’s not so micro really. The internal flow geometry is around 100um but you’re mostly working with 1.6mm (1/16”) tubing that’s easily handled and used with all these fittings. The fittings are all finger tightening and a lot of the prefabricated chips are easily clamped into manifolds.
You can also be creative and use heat shrink to connect tubes and the aforementioned PDMS punching works well, you just leave a large (2mm) region at the start and end of a micro channel to punch before you bond your PDMS to a glass microscope slide.

You’re never really exposing the flow geometry outside the clean room. It’s much like working with an IC on a breadboard, once it’s made you can wire it up easily and not really worry about anything mechanical other than the device working.

Yes, the imperial measurements for fittings is a pain.

My biggest complaint about microfluidics is that the design of the circuits is very ad-hoc. Since the flow rate is typically creeping flow the assumption is that the flow physics are extremely simple so we see these basic linear designs, dramatically different to microfluidic flows we see in biology. People just draw basic shapes on CAD that are easy to fabricate and iterate until the decide works.

I’ve submitted an ERC proposal to take a more computational approach to the design and layout of microfluidic devices. Instead of designing the exact layout of the device geometry the designer expresses their intent for its function, as a circuit diagram or node workflow and we then use various methods (such as numerical simulation and optimisation) to construct the geometry. I guess it’s not too dissimilar to automated PCB layout.
That was shown pretty realistically in the "1917" movie.
Sorry I pulled a quote from an article that referenced that link, but in retrospect that landing page wasn’t citing my claim very well. The full report on page 17 shows hours needed to work per week to afford a 1BD apartment at minimum wage. The 93% number came from a prior year.

An average household budget doesn't have a single earner. When you're broke, you have roommates. In more expensive places, until you find a partner to live with you often have roommates.

This isn't a bad thing.
The separation between the mainline logic and the exception handling logic does not require an exception mechanism like in Java or C++.

A restricted form of GOTO, like in the language Mesa (from Xerox) is good enough.

Mesa also had exceptions for things where exceptions are appropriate, e.g. numeric overflow, out-of-bounds access or memory allocation errors, i.e. errors that are normally caused by program bugs and which can be solved only by someone who knows the internals of the program.

For errors whose cause can be determined and removed by the user, e.g. files that cannot be found or mistyped user input, the appropriate place of handling the error is the place where the function that failed had been invoked.

Neither inside the function that failed nor several levels above the place where the error has been detected it is possible to provide really informative error messages that can enable corrective action, because only at the place of invocation the precise reason is known why the failed function had been called.

The restricted GOTO from Mesa, whose purpose was error handling, could not jump backwards and it could not enter a block, which eliminated the possible abuses of the feature.

Moreover the labelled targets of the GOTO could exist only inside a delimited section at the end of a block.

The keyword GOTO is not needed, because it is redundant. At the place of the jump it is enough to write the target label, as no other action is possible with it.

So in a language like Mesa, the mainline logic would be something like (in languages with "then", no parentheses are needed, unlike in C and its followers):

if err_code := function_that_can_fail(...) then Error_Name

if err_code := function2_that_can_fail(...) then Error2_Name

and the error handlers will be grouped in a section similar with the error handlers used with the exception mechanism of Java or C++.

The difference is that the section with the error handlers must be in the same file with the function invocations that can return errors and the error handlers will be invoked only from there, not from random places inside who knows what 3rd party library might have been used somewhere.

Because for such handlers there is no COME-FROM problem, you know exactly what has happened and you can easily determine what must be done.
That touches an important point of this kind of "automation magic" in autocompletion tools. They are great when they guess your intent correctly, and terrible when they misfire - specially when, as is common with Microsoft's tools, they are applied automatically and you have to take extra action to reverse them.

It annoys me that they research and apply complex algorithms to analyse the available data, detect the most likely ways to fill the document, build alternative programs to solve the problem and rank which is the most useful; only to then choose one of the inferred options and discard all the rest of the analysis work, getting only a (possibly incorrect) guess of the data completion task.

If, once the work is done, the user were allowed to see what the process was to detect the data, and were allowed to choose between the discarded options or give additional clues as to what the original intention was (the "active-learning session with the user to resolve the ambiguity" that the author of the article discards), the technique could be controlled more precisely and be useful in more situations, not just the ones that work the first time. Giving control to the user would make the technique more robust in my opinion instead of being hit-or-miss.
Relative to what background exactly?

Like I'd agree that maths/cs people are little naive about error but I can't imagine any data scientist from a social science background thinking that any measure is perfect.
The human right to basic fairness and reason is generic and applies to everything.

There is nothing magical about social media web services that means it's ok to abuse and discriminate there vs anywhere else.

It also doesn't require a "human right" to say "hey this sucks". That is a valid thing to observe and discuss regardless if the complainer has any special legal rights being violated.

> For a more "contemporary" workflow you might want to try zrythm¹, it's getting better and better.

Oh wow, Zrythm looks awesome! Thank you for the suggestion, I'll be taking this DAW for a spin sometime soon. :)

> Ardour is really great for recording and mixing.

Yeah, I'm actually warming up to Ardour as a general mix & mastering environment. It reminds me of Logic Pro in that sense, being more suited for final touches than composition (in my personal workflow).

> If you exclusively make electronic music you could also look into LMMS², it's more of an electronic-music-toy than an actual DAW but thats not necessarily a bad thing.

How is LMMS these days? I tried it sometime last year and had a lot of fun but it crashed too much for my personal comfort (tbf that could have just been whatever buggy LV2 / VST plugins I was testing). It comes a bit closer to the "look and feel" I look for in a DAW - kinda reminds me of older versions of FL Studio which is kewl because that's the software I learned how to produce music on.

They're called delivery companies, but they are actually restaurant/food marketplaces and they got there by conquering the last-step-to-consumer: delivery. In my country they are now trying to make people do groceries using them, but there's been some resistance (both from costumers and from big supermarkets).

There's a huge cultural shift happening in food consumption, caused also by the existence of these services, but not only. I don't think they will be able to sustain this business model much longer.
I don't understand the confusion. I thought it was called WSL because WSL1 was just that - a Windows subsystem that acted as a sort of compatibility later for Linux. And then when they released WSL2 (which replaced the old model with a Hyper-V accelerated VM running Linux), there was no real reason to rename it and create confusion.

I think he never considered the exceptions to the something to be avoided since he wrote Java most of his professional career - which ended when he decided to quit programming and go sell ornamental flowers in his family business in his hometown.

The middleware we worked had libraries from other companies (e.g. online prepaid transactions were handled by code from a jar/lib from Ericsson). But in the case the platform threw an exception, we could still charge the customer using a slower process (i.e. there's a window of time where the customer could use data/talk in excess until we realize there's no more credit when processing the slower transaction).

For him it was important to write these exceptions well. If something went wrong in production, we couldn't turn off the system, and if we were not charging users when we should to, the company would be losing millions (it was in Brazil, ~200 mi at the time, and the telco had ~60mi users I think, with mother's day and big brother being the craziest days with millions of messages per second.)
