A vaccine doesn't prevent you from catching a virus again--especially if you get a big bolus.

It does mean that your body is prepared to sweep the virus out faster and prevent it from spreading as far in your body.

In computer terms, a vaccine reduces the latency between when your body gets a virus and when it reaches critical immune response to get the virus under control.

So, for example, while you may get Covid in your nose, being vaccinated means that it doesn't get down into your lungs and heart and cause damage down there (the issues that cause most people to be hospitalized).

Creating complex things using drawing tools is physically laborious, and suffers from readability problems when things get too complicated to fit on one screen. I've seen this with mechanical and electrical CAD.
It seems to me that the big problem with Confluence search (once you have a lot of pages) is that the results have poor relevance ranking. Wouldn't tossing the content into SQLite have the same problem?
This has been useful advice for many years, although restricting to AEAD is best when possible.

No, it really is exceptionally bad even among half-assed search implementations.

For a start, it interprets multiple words in a query as an OR. You search for a "hello world", you get "hello nobody" and "goodbye world" and the search results.

It also always applies stemming, which mangles technical terms. At Cloudflare we have a daemon called "cloudflared" and it's impossible to find it in the damn wiki.

If it even tries to do any prioritization, it's indistinguishable from random. I search for a project's name, I get fragment of meeting notes from 7 years ago, not the project's homepage.

And the UI is unusably awful too. The fancy-ajaxy JS overlay breaks the Back button, so if you click on an irrelevant result (and all of them are irrelevant), pressing back doesn't go back to search results, but instead makes you lose document you were on.
> getting a self-hosted server up and running is too much pain

And yet many of them self-host Confluence. And many other things. And provision servers all the time. And you have to provide a CC (or maybe PO) for Confluence in any case. And you can't just associate Confluence with a cost centre. And you have to budget it. And... literally every single one of your arguments applies just as much to Confuence.
Raw land is cheap. Housing codes are what keep people like myself out of the housing market. If I could just dump a yurt on the land, or a cabin like our forefathers, then housing prices would be a total non issue. But a bunch of selfish NIMBYs are so scared of the poors building a yurt instead of a 2000 sq ft brick house for two people and a dog, they'll never allow it.

Of course, but i cant imagine any non trivial project not to be complex.

A lot stuff is built without knowing what will come after, so often you will have layers upon layers that need to get dug through. Thats just how software will always be…

I meant that they seem lost without source[1], while the Windows hackers don't need source.

[1] I remember someone being very surprised that I patched the binary of a FOSS application, instead of changing the source and compiling it --- the former took a few minutes, the latter would've taken far more time (to get all the dependencies, build system, etc.) and possibly introduced other unwanted changes.

It is currently recommend, and studies, such as this one, show that you will be highly protecting yourself from future variants you would have otherwise had low immunity against.

Why not just develop anther vaccine or two? Wasn't the point with the mRNA vaccines that they would easily be tweaked to target another spike?

That sounds a lot less like the religious form of scientism I mentioned. Skepticism seems to move people from the religious mindset into an inquiring one in the first place. There’s an openness there that isn’t present in purely religious thinking.

Moving in the direction of mysticism, as I understand it, is when one crosses a certain threshold of skepticism that results in an ever-greater sense of openness and freedom and ease (even in the presence of painful/uncomfortable circumstances).

I also don’t think there’s an endpoint to mysticism, nor do I think there are sharp boundaries between the “categories”/“stages”.

Ultimately (at least my perception of it) is that if it really turned out, for example, that there actually was a “God” hiding down there, turning the wheels of the subatomic particles that animate reality, a scientism adherent would probably be deeply dismayed and need to go through a kind of grieving process to eventually accept that reality. I imagine a mystic would accept it easily as being beautiful and just as easily move on to ask: “okay, so what’s for lunch?”

The experience of beauty and awe seem to be more prevalent as one heads further in the direction of mysticism.
It has search functionality. I slightly mistyped something the other day and was mystified to see the correct answer in a mini browser window while Windows itself was failing to match it up with the software I had installed and run every day. You can also just start typing search queries and it will try to launch MS Edge as soon as you hit enter.
FYI, chrome/edge have similar behavior in their omnibox.

If you ever find the time, open up fiddler and keep it visible on a second monitor while you browse. You'll be amazed by how much data is sent back to microsoft/Google.

I'm not sure if other chromium browsers also do this, I know ungoogled chromium doesn't.
The most surprising thing here to me is that a home is 5 times annual income. That seems insane to me. That would mean someone making $250k per year would be able to afford a $1.25m home. I don’t see how that’d work, unless that person has almost no other bills and or lives in a state with extremely low income tax. After taxes and other expenses $250k / 12 is not that much. Certainly not enough to buy a $1.25m home.
Your phone can scan the whole dump in-memory, byte by byte faster than your eyes can blink. If the query engine is the problem, you've chosen a very bad query engine.

I'll take a stab at actually guessing why aside from the issue that people making purchasing decisions don't see how bad it is until work has already gone into bringing in docs and pushing people to use it.

Aside from the organizational issues, I think there's a problem where basically no search system can be good for every org with any kind of internal info and different queries from perhaps several distinct types of users with different goals. To get good, a system needs to improve through at least rudimentary ML. At its simplest, if Alice searches for X today and clicks doc3, if Bob searches for X tomorrow, doc3 should rank higher. This requires collecting and aggregating click stream data, and using this count info (with cardinality #docs x #queries) at search time. But sometimes it requires a richer model relating search terms to terms in relevant (clicked) docs and optimizing for some measure of search quality (NDCG) etc.
All of this requires detailed access to docs, search/click histories, and a fair amount of computation and storage.
But customers have legit reasons for wanting these docs to only be accessible by their own employees. And they don't want to dedicate their own staff to improving such a system. No one wants to hear that their model retaining ran out of memory, etc. So shipping a simple system which doesn't improve but doesn't have moving parts becomes a local optima.
> An interesting result was that the infected then vaccinated individuals developed antibodies that targeted a very broad range of coronaviruses, including their engineered virus, delta, many other variants, and the original SARS.

Glad you brought this up, but from what I understand this isn't actually all that interesting (read: surprising). mRNA vaccines target the spike protein because it's functional and well-conserved. Natural infection means your immune system sees many more proteins.
I LOVE your project and delighted in reading about it. But your offer is so compelling I doubt you need the fake handwriting.
Another solution is to not worry about it. Rational people will have enough toilet paper to survive the shortages caused by panic buying of irrational people.

Blogger has not been shut down:

https://www.techrolet.com/2021/06/why-google-will-not-shut-d...

I blog. Here's a view from the other side:

It's nigh impossible to make money blogging. People hate every means that exists to monetize it.

People hate ads. People hate SEO content with affiliate links. People hate content paid for via a content mill. Etc.

If you do something original, they accuse you of being a shill or making things up etc and few people leave tips or kick in a few bucks via Patreon.

You want to see more blog writing from original voices?

Be willing to tip or support Patreon if they are looking to monetize it. Good writing takes time and practice and if you aren't willing to pay people, eh, quit your bitching. Wanting good writing for free is an expectation of slave labor.

Don't be a creeper. There have been far too many people whose interest in my writing is lurid, overly personal and unhealthy. It's impacted me, my life and my writing and mostly not in a good way.

Share the blog writing you think is good. Repost it somewhere. It's extremely hard to self promote. Many places have rules against that or which strictly limit it. Even where it is allowed, people act all judgy if you are self promoting. It has more credibility if someone else promotes your work.

Engage constructively. Comments or reader interaction is enormously important for fueling the mind's ability to figure out what to say next on the topic. (Don't use this as an excuse to be mean and then claim "You asked for feedback!")

I have no plans to engage with anyone who decides this comment somehow constitutes an invitation to be attacked, insulted and told how I'm somehow doing something wrong and it's my fault I can't make this work.

It's not my fault. This is just one of those things where the world is currently broken and most writers are making a pittance.
JLC "have" multiple factories, ie. they outsource board production to one of a number of third parties. You are mostly exposed to this with boards that do not have SMT components, since AFAIK SMT will automatically route your PCB to the SMT-capable PCBA (one factory only).

I am really nonplussed with them recently for a number of reasons and have begun to reach out to PCBAs here in China independently. As I would prefer to have a decent frontend for handing off work (quote, pay, support, etc.) I hacked one together last night. Let me know here if anyone else would like such a service. Ideally you pick your own PCBA and both parties communicate via the platform. Conceptually reputation should accrue with volume, with turnaround times and quality issues recorded publicly.
Motorola's floating point was 5x as fast as Intel's.

That storage cost is in salt formations, a technology that is already widely used to store megatons of natural gas. A single salt formation in Delta, Utah could store enough hydrogen to supply the entire US average grid power for 30 hours (and efforts to exploit this formation for hydrogen storage are ongoing). Salt formations exist in ample supply in Germany and Europe, but there are none in Hawaii, which is entirely volcanic.

> And property taxes alone are guaranteed to increase 2%/year in California

No, they aren't. Assuming no increase in property tax rate (which is a good assumption, since your local taxing jurisdiction almost certainly already charges the maximum nominal rate of 1% allowed under Prop. 13), your property taxes will increase only by the amount your assessed value for taxation increases, which is capped to the lower of 2% or the actual annual (trailing) rate of inflation.

For 2021/2022 the actual cap is 1.036%, based on the actual California CPI for October 2019 through October 2020.

For those complaining about the comparison, they did at least mention it:

>>> Comparing events that happened more than a century apart has its perils. For instance, the population of the United States in 1918 was a third of what it is now. So as a percentage of the national population, the Spanish flu deaths still has the lead on Covid-19.
It’s just like deepfaked video and audio; it undermines the value and trustworthiness of the real thing by flooding the “market” with hard-to-spot fakes. In this case, the “market” is people’s trust in the proof-of-work of a seemingly handwritten letter.

> These new/small energy companies also did not have the resources to hedge their risk and are getting completely wiped out.

I keep seeing this, but it’s just not true. Hedging has low fixed costs, and is mostly variable cost. And given their smaller balance sheets small companies should absolutely be hedging, more so than large companies who might be able to draw revolving capital facilities or long term off takes if need be.
I worked in a bank where we still used paper because the lead supervisor told us we had to. I'm not talking like paper that was needed so we just kept it in the file, I'm talking "Print out the entire loan profile in paper simply because the supervisor refused to learn how to do use a computer" paper. We're talking thousands of pages a day for ONE LOAN! All because this woman was lapsed by technology and HR had no clue she was so out of touch.
I think the people who were posting "learn to write good readable code" weren't disagreeing with the idea that reading code is a skill so much as they were calling out a comparison between:

a) coders who can read bad code and who also write bad code

b) coders who can't read bad code but who write good code

In that case I would always choose to work with person b.

tl;dr I don't think that they were disagreeing but adding on another important point
This is something that has been keeping me wondering for years. Since the financial crisis the European Central Bank has basically fixed base rate at negative (since 2012), leaving the market flooded with desperate investment money (due to all old school investment options becoming a negative) Now also of course since it's "cheap" the real estate prices have almost doubled in that timespan, having previously hovered around the same mark for the ten years before that.

What I wonder is - is there any way out of this curse of growth with all the money spent into those inflated prices at this point that does not mean complete economic collapse?
I’m wonder how it remains legal in the EU. Legislation really needs to step up on these things.

It’s an American company that’s keeping taps on something like 600 million European citizens. I don’t care what sort of “license agreement” it comes with, that’s just not ok.
You can use a Keepass database synced across devices with iCloud, etc. That lets you escape the Chrome spyware dependency. Keepass extensions integrate well with all browsers, even those on iOS.
If those devices require LE and still haven't received (automatic) updates already, I'd consider them IoT trash regardless. It's probably part of some IoT botnet already.

Embedded devices that aren't updated regularly for long periods of time are the reason we can't have nice things on the internet.

Maybe this is paranoid but they tell you how to check the hash of the download using openssl itself.

A compromised version of openssl could detect itself and return the "correct" hash.
I can’t tell you from recent personal experience because I heat my house with firewood and IR panels but a winter’s worth of wood cost me twice the minimum wage.

My gas heating costs were minimal when I lived in an apartment because it was really well insulated, surrounded by neighbours with similarly well-insulated apartments; I could heat that up with my desktop pc mining ethereum on a 290X back when that was profitable. ;)

As an approximation, heating costs might rise for people less fortunate to close to 30-35% of their income if things end up as bad as I hear them expect.
It's downright fearmongering --- classic MS-style --- to say something is "horribly insecure" when it has has been around for over a decade and all the major bugs have already been found.

Nevermind the fact that everyone is almost always behind a NAT and are basically unreachable for attackers to exploit remotely.

If anything, the newer versions of Windows are "horribly inescure" because they contain so many "unknown unknowns". But that wouldn't fit the narrative MS wants to propagate...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-37320399 - this is a BBC article about James Lind, who did an experiment in 1747. Not too sure about four ships in 1601 - there are no sources in the link above. Also, he was a Scot, not English. He was of course a Brit too (1707-)

The results probably were reported but they were probably not distributed effectively. Nowadays we have the internet to vilify entire populations, within seconds. Back then, you had to get a pamphlet printed that a few 100 people would read.

"Sailors who ate the ship's rats were inadvertently protecting themselves - as the animal synthesizes its own vitamin C."

So there you go. If you run out of shipmates and lemons: eat the rats!

I actually was talking about thermal efficiency of two-stroke vs. 4-stroke, and believed that overall four-stroke does better.

Reading about just a little bit, this may not be the case... depending on what application you are talking about.

I would expect to be some differences between a 10-ton marine two-stroke on a ship vs. a 49cc two-stroke on a moped in terms of efficiency.

I think the best answer is that we are just beginning to understand the immune response to infection and our vaccines and that the exact pathway to create the best, most protective and longest lasting immunity is still an area of active research. We just don't know enough at this point.
In a nutshell, you've got the idea. And no: the signed tokens are for all intents and purposes random blobs (often generated literally from /dev/urandom by the server), and the browser strictly associates a WebAuthn keypair to exactly one domain, and no others. Because the browser enforces this, it means it's impossible to phish the user; even if you had the secret key for aseipp@foo.com (the music website) you stole from me, you couldn't use it for aseipp@bar.com (my bank account).

Technically, it only works if the (notional, I’m not sure this is an actual tracked category) PPI for rental housing is low, general (CPI) inflation may loosely correlate with that, but its not directly relevant.
It was not just battery life, it was also to prevent phones from spontaneously rebooting.

Apple’s CPUs are very bursty, and that causes them to suddenly draw a large current from the battery. Older batteries cannot handle this so the CPU doesn’t get enough power and reboots. What Apple did was to stop the CPU from suddenly ramping up speed, which means the battery doesn’t have to deal with a sudden spike in power demand and can keep up even if it’s degraded.

This does, of course, slow the phone down as it can’t ramp up as aggressively.
> If you are projecting a receding economy and/or decreased demand for the land you are buying, then it does not make sense to pay as much as you can afford...

I think this is the above commenter's concern; homebuyers are not adequately pricing the risk of rising interest rates. If interest rates go up, demand falls and you're left in a highly leveraged position that amplifies your losses. Monthly mortgage payments don't make the leverage apparent. Sticker price does.
