I always reccomend the gen 1 iPhone SE to anyone that wants a "modular" phone. No, you can't upgrade the parts, but you can replace them when something breaks. I'm going on 5 years now with mine, and I've replaced nearly every component but the main board. I've replaced the lightning connector, main screen, main camera, headphone jack (remember those?), battery twice, even the SIM card slot. Everything is just screwed down (no glue) and replaceable with a $7 toolkit from Amazon. Parts are dirt cheap and readily available on eBay. And it's still getting the latest OS security updates 5 years later.
I take it you LOVE ada :-)

There is a lot of wisdom in the things you avoid, however I would ask one question, "How often do you use it?"

For me, the best systems are those that can be wordy and prescriptive but as you get to know them you can use more short hand so they "get out of the way" as it were. A good example of that philosophy is keyboard short cuts. When I'm learning a program I'm happy to pause and sling the mouse around to find the thing I need in the labeled menu stack with an appropriate name which also tells me what the keyboard short cut is for that thing. Then as I get better I can just use the short cut and my workflow gets faster. Once I've internalized the keymap my flow is held up by how fast I can think, not by how fast I can take my hand off the keyboard, move the mouse, click and then put it back on the keyboard.

Awk is one of those things that once you internalize what it can do, you can use it for a lot of stuff, and you can do it quickly.
I suffered enough of that back in my C64 days.

Anybody who could afford it did get a floppy drive. I got an Amiga 500 at some point, instead.

I still have the hardware and the tapes, so I intend to get everything operational again at some point. It's just in the back of the queue, as I am busy dealing with a lot of "retro" platforms already.
Congratulations! I also started a blog recently, mostly as a way to document my tweaks and findings in tech, otherwise it'd be forgotten if I ever needed it again.

I don't think blogs are "dead" by any stretch, but don't blog for others to consume, blog for yourself.

Seems like you're on the right path.
Why is it still so ridiculously difficult to put some DB-backed, servable, editable code up in the cloud?

I totally agree. Telemetry is invaluable to making software better.

Transparency is key here. If projects explained the steps taken to anonymize the data (either provably using Differential Privacy, or approximated via some other means), I feel like people might trust them more. Even with DP, though, the server does see IP addresses, even if it doesn't know what the telemetry is, and that alone might cross the line for some people. Even if the project promises to not log them.
Man, tough crowd. One smart ass remark turns into writing a newsletter article. :-) In seriousness, I'll make an honest effort at seeing if I can come up enough interesting paragraphs, and then check The Prepared (a new one to me). Here's a preview of what I learned on my first day: cellophane is made from wood (which gets pulped, and broken down with nasty chemicals). I always assumed it was some kind of plastic. I was there to get them off that mainframe, but hung out with those on the floor when I could.

Depending on one's career path, though, I think we all collect little tidbits along the way that are way outside of the software craft. I was a partner in a consulting company back in the 90s, and we specialized in small-medium businesses. Anything from cellophane to auto body shops to mail-order jewelry (class rings and the like). It wasn't always interesting (see: mail-order jewelry), but my "TIL" moments were probably more frequent than any other time.
Kind of. It's undervalued in the sense that it's a growing business that will probably track "the growth of the internet" (so, will continue growing for a long, long time).

It's not undervalued in that quarterly revenue are $152.4 million, on a market cap of $35 billion dollars, for a staggering multiple of 57 times revenue.

Edit: Had quarterly earnings instead of revenue.
It helps that when you have a front row seat at a butcher's house, you become somewhat averse to eating meat as part of your regular diet. From that perspective, it is really not that surprising.

This is an understatement: "Rabies causes about 56,000 deaths worldwide per year. As of 2016, only fourteen people had survived a rabies infection after showing symptoms."
I understood what he meant. Of the two on that list I know about directly, I know that both Valve and Zappos happily built exactly that shadow hierarchy and that it became (or has become) very difficult for new folks to gain traction even for just doing "their job", let alone to grow in their careers.
I guess my question would be, "Out of positive test cases, what fraction sought testing because of symptoms?" For random tests, I would guess that the positivity rate is far, far lower than for folks seeking tests due to symptoms. Therefore, I expect that folks seeking tests due to symptoms are the large majority of the positive tests. I cannot submit any proof of this view, but it is what seems most likely to me.
Is this a GitHub-specific feature or is it something defined in the MarkDown spec?
For one, you only get billed for outgoing traffic from AWS. So if all your infra is on AWS, you're not paying for that. Secondly the ease of use is a lot compared to back when you had to buy a bunch of servers to put hard drives in - remember s3 was one of the first aws services, alongside ec2.

If your load wasn't high, cause you're a startup or whatever, then paying the extra premium on the storage to save the engineering effort of building your own storage cluster worked out. Then when you were big, those egress costs had you locked out.

Plus add in thoughts about having to maintain infra vs aws do it for you and you had a lot of developer blogs/marketing sites of tech companies/whatever just serve on s3 since it was easy to use and the absolute cost for such a product is low enough that they didn't care about the relative cost of s3 vs other services.
Show HN: A tool to display your NFTs on your Twitter Profile
I spent my summer learning about web components and rebuilt my image-template editor as such; This was the first try at using my own SDK and applying it onto a small product (and ofc I found 1000 things to add for my future customers :) )

..

This little tool combines image generation, NFTs and flexing on Twitter

• It fetches the latest NFTs from your wallet via OpenSea

• generates a Twitter header image (using a customizable template) with them

• and auto-updates your profile

Credibility? You have to be joking, what does he actually have to lose? According to Wikipedia he had a quarter of a billion dollars 15 years ago! He gets to live by rules you and I don't even know are possible, but suffice it to say that credibility is only ever a problem for the little people. Look at trump, after all.

You aren't doing any better job of communicating than the people who you are trying to correct and the message you are spreading is more easily used to prop up harmful misinformation.

I have seen very few if any claims that say "vaccinations reduce your chances of death if you are hospitalized."

I have provided a citation showing that vaccinations reduce your chances of hospitalization if infected. This is also easy to infer from the wide number of studies that show higher (per time) rates of protection against hospitalization than against infection.

The effects may disappear in any numbers (such as those discussed in the article you linked) from places / times were vaccine availability is limited and resticted to vulnerable groups. This is due to a combination of the selection bias and the small numbers of infections among the vaccinated.

At least for me, one return trip at the reduced rate pays for the price of buying the railcard (which is valid for 12 months).

It basically buys you more time to do the PEP protocol. It’s not completely protective. I had it done at a travel clinic when I was planning to go to Madagascar. That would buy me time to get to South Africa or Europe for the PEP.

Yeah it's complete bullshit... vaccines are working and working well. the only people dying and taking up the ICU beds right now in any large numbers are the unvaccinated.

> Why are they pushing this disinformation?

either one of the following groups: russian/china disinformation bots or paid shills. people that like to be "in on the know" and take contrary viewpoints that are not mainstream. people that have fully bought into the above misinformation schemes. people that have taken to it like a political fight where reason goes out the window unless you are "winning".

I ultimately think that a lot of people "broke" during the pandemic looking for some "enemy" to fight since the reality of a wild virus that just happened was too scary a thought. many people need the world to make sense and want control. some control of that is making up enemies like china releasing the virus intentionally and all the world governments working together in tandem to somehow control everyone.

> No amount of increase of general scientific literacy will allow public in general to read/understand highly specialized fields.

I understand this. There are first year graduate students in my field that have a far deeper understanding on the basic science behind certain papers than the general public, and yet even they struggle to parse those papers' conclusions. I mean this is even true for PhDs working in the same field, given the right paper.

When I say scientific literacy, I mean something far more basic than actually understanding anything to do with any specific field. I mean (among other things) understanding what you just said, that scientific fields are deeply complex, understanding how actual science is done (peer review, incentives and motivations, author bias, etc), and, given the first two points, that one should generally be skeptical when a citation consists of only a paper's title.

> But access to source can allow someone to validate the claims by a journalist or a public officials trying to bend conclusion to support their view.

I'm aware of this, and I said that I was in favor of open access as opposed to a simply closed system (i.e. open is a, potentially quite large, net positive). I'm just pointing out that the potential for misinterpretation/misuse is also present (which is also what the comment I was responding to was pointing out), just as there is potential for validation and combating misinterpretation/misuse. But, as you said, the vast majority will be unable to read/understand specialized fields, which might lead to (potentially more frequent) misinterpretation//misuse (even unintentionally).
LOL. A global pandemic that causes extreme healthcare crises might require extreme policies. “Using the most extreme possible examples to justify a policy,” how laughable!

Next, read about Quarantine Acts. Most nations have them.
That's one way to look at it. Another way:

Every sunday hundreds of people drive from all over Austria to visit the zoo in Schönbrunn. They take the car because the train is way too expensive. If taking the train was cheaper then some of those people would take the train.

Yes, for each of those families it's just one trip. But in aggregate it's also a lot of people.

Why is it more important to get one person to use public transport for 500 trips rather than getting 500 people to use public transport for one trip?

Friends of mine had to get the series in 2019, and they were not previously vaccinated.

The vaccine is only recommended for people who are more likely to encounter rabid animals, like animal control workers or cavers. With prompt treatment, the PEP series is sufficient.

The virus moves through the body at up to around 7cm per day IIRC, so a bite on the neck is of more immediate concern than a bite on the hand, because it has less distance to travel to reach the brain. (Why anyone would wait at all is beyond me.)
Not something on a scale of a project, but "bowling score" exercises are a lot more elegant in functional languages than more procedural ones due to things like pattern matching.

The laws of Quantum Mechanics clearly allow quantum computers. So those beliefs must have included something that goes beyond known physics i.e. the assumption of some supernatural effect?
Telemetry per se is not a bad thing when you make it with privacy at the center of it. If you offer users the chance to opt-in/opt-out of logging and then REALLY respect that decision by first) not generating data when the user does not want to and second) not using the data for purposes the user does not sign up for (in downstream, analytics mostly)

then telemetry can actually be beneficial to keep improving your product and features.

It's possible to use the same design docs both for client- and serverside validation. They don't look pretty, but maintaining them in readable JS and deploying them via CI works fine.

Apart from Proxy Auth and JWT, just using basic Auth/session + a backend like Superlogin works for simple use cases.

But sure, you'll want to set up rate limits etc using something like HaProxy once you have actual customer data on a CouchDB instance.

Also, I'm having a hard time swallowing the sensationalization of this title. Feel the one from the article is much better: "Facebook pressed to release research on how its platforms affect users". Text of original article: https://archive.is/tFzUR

In my understanding, expecting Facebook to look out for your children's well-being is absurd and laughable. It's a corporation responsible for making money to its shareholders, and NOT responsible for improving society as a whole and certainly not responsible for raising your children. That said, I think FB is in the wrong here (like always, hence why I haven't been on the platform in more than 6 years).
The feedback is, 'do some proper UI design, because it really, really needs it'. That's constructive, as I read it, and very relevant.
On the upper end (probably even in the middle) software developers earn more than licensed engineers. I'm pretty sure your mom can brag about her child the developer making 3x what her friend's child the engineer makes.

There are engineers who end up moving to software for just this reason.

Software is super important and becomes more so over time. I'm not sure why being proud of being a developer isn't enough and why it has to end up with wanting to use the term engineer.
In many places it’s risky to rent your property out. In Seattle for example tenant protections still prevent evictions and the process took months in normal times. As such most folks will just sell instead of rent out
Interesting, too, as the unreleased pre-cursors to S3 were called first S5, and then S4.
The truth is that artificial intelligence and machine learning today are still aspirational titles - the current tech simple does not learn or reason in any way that is similar to human or even biological reasoning.

Data mining and probabilistic pattern recognition are much more accurate descriptions, but don't sound as exciting.

It's definitely possible that true AI will one day exist, but it may be anywhere from 5 to 1000 years away. I suspect the current approaches will not resemble the final form when it comes to AI.

"More importantly, AWS itself is locked-in to its integrated approach: the entire service is architected both technically and economically to be an all-encompassing offering; to modularize itself in response to Cloudflare would be suicidal."

Eh, somewhat. AWS is already modular in a lot of ways. You want S3? You got it, no matter where you are. (We're talking after them doing some sort of fee drop here.) You want to run exactly one EC2 instance? No problem. You want a message queue? You don't need anything else. You can integrate it with the notification service but it's optional.

Sure, some of their services are integrated, but a lot of that integration is just "this service pulls from S3 and writes to S3", not massive integration at every level.

There is some stuff that is deeply tied in, yeah. But it's not like every single AWS service is deeply tied into half the other ones and the moment you open an EC2 instance you also are buying into a dozen other services. (It may feel like it if you put together a network and override the default block storage, but that's really just giving you knobs that are simply preset elsewhere, not really "lockin".) A lot of it is already pretty modular.
