No, you have upended your families life. You have asserted you are intellectually competent in vaccine theory and practice and on that basis you have taken the position that upended your families life. Do not pass this buck to Trump or similar icons - you have chosen to let irrational politics rule/ruin your life. I see the statistics, a very low rate of vaccinated people die of Covid - no matter what you whine, it has a measurable protective effect. People not vaccinated get far more seriously ill and die at a far higher rate and suffer Covid ongoing effects(long Covid).
Remember, no matter what your political posturing means to you and friends, death does not read the same text as you...
When you want to cancel something and it looks like they might start giving you grief, write to them via physical mail on signed-for delivery. Specify in the letter they are to respond to you by writing only.

If at all appropriate label it as a complaint or send it via the complaint department and do some quick research in advance on how to escalate the complaint outside the company. Then find a way to let them know that you know how to do this in the letter, for example by writing something like "the ombudsman states you have x weeks to respond to me before I can escalate this situation with them".

Companies cannot dictate to you that you cannot write to them. They try very hard to stop you, but it does not hold up. When you do write to them it shows you won't be fooled by their crap and they will stop messing you around. If you can't find a contract address on their website, google their head office.

As pointed out in another comment [0], apparently it’s extremely outdated. Other comments describe it as unstable and lacking Apple Silicon builds. If you’re just looking for a version of Firefox without the user-hostile parts, this ain’t exactly it.

From my months-old research such a thing doesn’t really seem to exist yet, but I definitely think it should. It could perhaps initially be shipped as a set of patches to be done on top of an existing Firefox installation.

It was actually as throwaway comment [1] that Joel made in a talk I went to back in 2011 that brought me to hacker news.

It was something like "when a link starts getting multiple posts on hacker news that's when we know we've hit on something..."

I'd not heard about hacker news until that point. I was probably hanging around codeproject.com. Since then I lurk almost daily, and am always amazed by the breadth and depth of articles and commments, both tech and non tech.
I am absolutely 10x compared to myself at an earlier stage in my career, at which point I was still perfectly hirable and productive.

There are certainly those who are 10xers compared to me today, especially those active in domains I have less experience in.
I've been working on Solana and Ethereum dapps and it does rely on browser extensions at the moment (MetaMask or Phantom wallet for example). But basically they expose an API that lets you connect a wallet. In one app I'm working on right now in Solana, I'm able to connect in a one line api call (granted if I want to support other wallets I'll need to use an adapter npm module). Since you need to have the private key to set up a wallet, connecting is essentially "logging in". So really, I can make a website that lets you use a wallet with no money on it as authentication, if I wanted to, since it proves you are who you say you are unless your wallet's private keys are compromised.
This. In the vast, vast majority of cases I prefer writing my stuff with LINQ. The ease of use and type safety is just brilliant. And still for more complex queries or queries that don't perform well enough I still reach for SQL. The point of ORMs is not to obsolete SQL.

Placebo is controlled for in these kinds of experiments by using a comparison group exposed to a carefully designed placebo.

To be very clear, you can test for the abscence of an effect. It is a little bit more challenging than finding a "true" effect, but it is feasible.

It is a dangerous, and common, misunderstanding to not distinguish between "no significant effect" and "statistically significant zero effect".
> Well, for example I definitely need it for analytical purposes, so I have to try.

Try accepting the inherent limitations of trying to analyze something so unruly and take your analysis with a larger grain of salt instead of forcing order on something so inherently ad hoc.
The problem is total system efficiency.

The hydrogen fuel cell car requires 2-3 times more energy to drive the same distance, as the overall Well-to-Wheel efficiency is from 25-35%, electric cars can achieve an outstanding overall Well-to-Wheel efficiency of 70-90%.

As you said, hydrogen cars are basically electric cars with more hardware. The only group who seems to want this is to be used is old car OEMS and politicians which we can assume have been lobbied for years to be for hydrogen.
Quoting from the article:

"The young Austrian mathematician Kurt Gödel tackled the problem and found that Hilbert’s expectations where [sic] fulfilled for first-order logic."

This (i.e., "Hilbert's expectations were fulfilled for first-order logic") is a common misconception, but it is not the case. For instance, ZFC is an example of a first-order theory that does not satisfy Hilbert's expectations mentioned in the article (consistency, completeness and decidability). Notably, if ZFC is consistent, then it is incomplete. Another example of a first-order theory that is essentially incomplete and not decidable is Robinson arithmetic:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robinson_arithmetic

The confusion likely stems from the fact that Gödel proved first-order logic to be semantically complete (Gödel's completeness theorem), i.e., all its valid formulae can be derived as theorems. This does not mean that all first-order theories are syntactically complete, i.e, for every statement S, either S or its negation ¬S is in the theory. This kind of incompleteness is what Gödel's incompleteness results are about, and this phenomenon already arises in first-order logic. The common independence results of ZFC are well-known examples of this kind of incompleteness: ZFC, if consistent, does not prove them, and also does not prove their negation. Gödel's first incompleteness theorem shows that every sufficiently powerful formal system exhibits this kind of incompleteness. Also first-order theories exhibit it if they are sufficiently powerful.

With today's terminology and models of computation, it is easy to show this, because first-order logic is sufficient to express a Turing machine as a theory, and if we let S be the (first-order) statement "The machine reaches a halting state", then, if we had a mechanism that always terminates and always correctly decides whether S or its negation ¬S is in the theory, then we would have an algorithm that solves the halting problem, which, however, is easily shown to be only semi-decidable, not decidable. Hence, not all first-order theories are consistent, complete and decidable.

The article says: "The best way to counteract mindless scrolling is with mindful scrolling." Another approach could perhaps be to remove the option for scrolling. Promotion: that is done here: https://github.com/HiveMinds/Productivity-phone

Disclaimer I am involved in that project. It sets up a productivity lock on the phone, which removes some digital temptations. Hence, it can be used to alleviate some of the required discipline (e.g. limit your scrolling) proposed in the article. Thought it may be of interest for people looking into this article.

> It seems to me that “happiness in early adulthood may protect against dementia” is logically consistent with your proposed rewrite, “people who are depressed early in adulthood have higher chance of dementia”

Saying "the moon is white" is logically consistent with saying "the moon may be made of white cheese". Logical consistence isn't an excuse for a major university to make people believe that research supports something that isn't actually supported by their work.

> On reading the title alone, I assumed a university marketer was trying to reframe in an interesting way what had been found in the study (something akin to your proposed summary)

Yes that's definitely the reason. I couldn't find the article on the journal's website, but I imagine that the paper was honest about this being a correlation. We can debate whether the title (and some of the article) fits the definition of a lie, but it's 100% clickbait that will make some people believe something that has no basis in research, and they are exploiting that for PR reasons.

And I actually wouldn't be surprised if the causality they suggest is true... But that kind of exaggeration makes it impossible to follow what we actually have evidence for, which is the opposite of what this kind of popular science articles should be doing.
>> And Canada isn’t the only one: [...] are looking at a loss of foreign investment and a possible recession.

Except that, now, Canada (78%) has a higher vaccination rate than most western nations, including the US (65%). And there is zero talk about loss of foreign investment.
If I were to take a guess (just reading charitably, I haven't actually used Waterfox): they're probably trying to say that the browser doesn't make any requests whose sole purpose is to report your information to them. No telemetry. But browsers do have to send some network requests to their developers for stuff like automatic updates, and they do have to log some of the information received—for example, to tell if someone is trying to hack the update server—but they'll try and keep that to a minimum.
The two big issues I always had with ORMs are automatic joins and inheritance.

I‘m probably just not knowledgable enough on how to use e.g. Hibernate „correctly“ but modeling any entity with inheritance was a recipe for disaster at some point. Also Collections and Hibernate were an incredible pain.

DB stuff is not the thing I‘m very good at (as probably gleaned from my comment) but even pretty basic stuff kind of fell apart pretty fast at any sort of non-hobby scale. At the same time I dread handling transactions and de/serialization more manually…
Google “Nebulet” and beware a kernel that runs all of user space in ring 0 by using web assembly.

I do like the concept that an artist can continue to get a percentage of future sales.

But blockchain itself does not prevent copyright infringement of digital assets. I.e. the artist may sell his photos as NFTs, but I can still use them without permission or resell them through other channels.

I'm a 10x human being. I don't feel pressure to be anything from any outside person. Highly recommended to learn that and grow yourself as a human, not as a programmer.

Nothing you build today will even remain a couple of years down the line. It doesn't matter if you are 10x or not. What we do is completely meaningless anyway. :)
Perhaps (seems like it, esp compared to the abomination that Mozilla has become: a shell of its former self, laundering its previous reputation it had earned for the garbage they try to gaslight it's useds with now [esp after hollowing out servo team]) though one of these days, upstream chromium will put them through a wringer they'll have to bend over backwards for and at that point, I hope they'll move to servo despite the difficulty with the, imo, superficial feature parity of chromium (but I doubt it, because most users of browsers hardly care about how the cake is made… [they just want their usual websites to "just work"] until they do…).
The photoshopping just moved from print only to print and Instagram IMO. Instagram is just a different form of it. Maybe it’s worse since people might feel more of a connection with people on Instagram (and feel they are more authentic thus more believable) than out of reach Hollywood stars.

I remember how people thought they were going to do something help mankind, while making a profit. They were excited to be programming, excuse me Coding. They wanted a different life than their buttoned down parents.

I remember thinking I like this generation. They despised ties. They wouldn't use, "I going to start a business." It was a Start-up instead.

They didn't seem greedy. They seemed very liberal, but prudent at the same time.

I remember watching that movie about Zuckerburg, and thinking; I hope they don't emulate, and worship this guy. I was wrong.

Fast forward, and monopoles ruled, and all humanitarian hope just went to greed.

I guess it's just capitalism. I haven't heard an original idea forever. It all turned into business, and who can out screw the other guy. Open source is for suckers now.

It's not the future I expected.
If you don’t like Fedora, perhaps try a different distro. Fedora’s commitment to free and open software has the downside of making proprietary hardware less reliable. From my own experience I would recommend Ubuntu or Manjaro. Those break rarely, if ever.

It is hard to characterize linux distros in broad terms because they all take such different approaches — two could be as similar as Windows 10 vs 8, or as different as Windows vs Mac!
A series of unlikely events resulted in me spending the mid-late 90s using an A3500, the prototype for the A3000T. The motherboard was laid out slightly differently (eg, there was no on-board audio input header for CD drives, and there was an extra set of sockets for ROMs with the original A3000 pinout), and the case is slightly different (it's literally the Commodore PC60 case with a different front bezel and port cutouts in the back).

Some 30 years after manufacture, it's now sitting under my desk and still bootable. It's got Amiga UNIX installed, and an MNT ZZ9000 (https://shop.mntmn.com/products/zz9000-for-amiga-preorder) in the video slot. I've got a partially written Amiga UNIX driver for the card, currently blocked on me reverse engineering MMU setup enough to be able to map the card's video RAM into userland - Amiga UNIX doesn't support Zorro 3, and Zorro 2 only supports 24-bit addressing so there's no way to expose enough video RAM to drive my UWQHD monitor at native resolution otherwise. It's the first computer I ever accessed the web on, and I hope to keep it running utterly ridiculous code for as long as possible.
Do you think that most/all people buying NFTs are doing it for the art, or are they doing it because they're speculating that the NFT will go up in value and they can resell it?

If you want to appreciate art (of whatever type) what additional benefits of that art does the NFT provide? It's not access to the original image, those are just files, it's only certification of ownership of a particular instance of that image, AFAIK.

The concern I see with NFTs and other similar applications of blockchain tech, is that it's not about the application as much as speculating on them to make money.

That speculation, like all speculation, is susceptible to people overhyping it, leading to lots of losses for late adopters.

I sent a similar reply to a Facebook recruiter. Something song the lines of, "I disagree with the philosophical direction of the company and cannot in good conscience find myself working there."

This, apparently, was a way to get myself permanently and unceremoniously removed from all Facebook recruiter outbound. Not only did I not get a reply, but where I used to get multiple emails a month from different teams, I haven't heard anything from a Facebook recruiter in more than two years.

So everything worked out in the end.

> This isn’t a cause worth sacrificing the safety of your wife and kids for

So the government putting artificial restrictions because of a virus that mostly kills very old people or people with at least 3-4 morbidities is "not a cause worth" it? The day something slightly more dangerous comes around, you can say goodbye to all your freedoms because you did not push back this time around. This creates precedents.

I love stupid analogies like that, as if an mRNA vaccine was just the same type of vaccine as a polio vaccine. Btw did you know polio vaccines are also to blame for new cases of polio?

I think it's also that we've solved many of the tech problems that can be solved by a single, genius savant. These days it's more "cross functional teams."

When problems are solved by three or more people working together in a Zoom meeting, "making technology" becomes a lot less like being a hacker.

And a lot more boring regular business suit stuff becomes part of the conversation.

This is interesting to me. Similarly, although I know "hiring" isn't quite the same thing, through that process, I've come to realise how difficult it is to find passionate and skilful people. I wonder if startups are as good a filter in 2021 as they were in 2006.

At work, we have a handful of VPCs that we all work with. At the moment, we have a bastion host in every VPC. When something needs attention while on call, the engineer needs to first figure out which bastion host to ash into and then the actual work starts.

I was wondering if there is a better way to setup a central bastion host with RBAC such that the attack vector is also not centralised. Does anyone here have ideas?

"violators" aren't being shot with rubber bullets. Nazi fuckwits are being shot with rubber bullets after being given hours to leave their violent protests of their own free will before attacking police with projectiles and charging at them.

I watched the entire thing live, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. The Guardian also did an expose on the instigators of those protests are accessed a group chat where the organisers were discussing how to slowly introduce the "Jewish question" to the crowd they'd managed to rile up.
I didn't have to actively find such an opportunity yet so I can’t tell you. In my case, I was unhappy at my first employer while I was still studying CS when my friend’s employer urgently searched for programmers. So I went there and told them that I am interested in a position in which I could work part-time even after graduation. I still work there. It was a combination of luck and connections.

Couldn't you just use `false`? I was pretty opposed to the talk of adding an "undefined" value in the discussion prior to 5.4. As someone who has to write javascript fairly often having a large number of falsey values is definitely not something to be desired. I think in older versions of Lua there was a pattern to include an `n` field in your tables to keep track of it's length. Lua is all about "mechanisms over policy" and provides many ways to create tables that behave like arrays in Lua.
This is it for me to. I have tried so many times to jump to linux and it never works out. I mostly use macOS for unix stuff because it works without breaking all the time. Windows for gaming and some light terminal use in WSL.
Not to hijack this too much but the Australian vaccine rollout has been widely panned but much of the problems come down to a choice to rely on domestically manufactured AZ vaccines.

In a different timeline if the AZ vaccine hadn’t been associated with rare blood clotting, if Pfizer/Moderna hasn’t been able to scale manufacturing as well that strategy would be looking very good.

It’s interesting to think that Canada and other nations that instead depended on international supply chains ultimately did much better though.
The thing I do by far the most is testing my own websites.
