Forget about this website, just download the most recent OpenJDK version and get at it!

As for IDEs, I do recommend IntelliJ for writing the code, but in case you want to understand what happens behind the scenes, you can compile the source code directly in the terminal with `javac YourClass.java`, or *.java, depending on how many files you have.

It will by default place the resulting files in the current directory with the convention of creating directories for packages. If you had no package keyword in your files it will result in a simple YourClass.class file that you can run with `java YourClass` (do note that you run classes, not the file itself). If you had something like com.example as a package, it will be placed under WORK_DIR/com/example/YourClass.class.

It should be run from the current work_dir though!

The reason for that is the notion of a class-path, analog of the PATH variable of unix systems. It lists the package-aware class files, and defaults to the working dir, meaning it will find com.example.* files from here, but not elsewhere.

Dependencies are just that, they get concatenated to this class path and thus will be included.

EDIT: You can also just issue `java YourClassWithMain.java`, it will compile and run your class in one go
The tech is kinda good but not great. Their strategy is probably going to slow it down not speed it up. My opinion is if a snowflake or firebolt or new startup sets out to be spark native or compatible in a truly deep way then they can completely supplant databricks.
So you got what he meant to say?
Instead of trying to reason badly via analogy I invite you to consider to consider the plain facts of the case. In terms of strategy especially near term the overall health of the American people is what it is. A multitude of factors like aging and many health conditions are immovable rocks beyond our power to affect while others like weight are diet may be individually tractable but in aggregate we cannot expect at a stroke to make massive change whereas we absolutely can vaccinate everyone.

Even the best of choices at this juncture will leave you at some risk even if you are young healthy and hale and far less risk if you choose to vaccinate. Describing it as a weak patch to bad health just belies reality.

For many who make up much of the dead the best route to safety lies in both they and people like you choosing to vaccinate so you don't infect and kill them. I have bad asthma. I cannot just "do some sports" and eat some leafy greens to ameliorate that risk. Worse my wife has an autoimmune disorder that requires her to take immuno suppressive medication. The best data so far suggests that if she were to get infected despite vaccination her chance of mortality would be on the order of 1 in 8 with some cardiovascular or lung damage being likely inevitable because she wont know to stop taking the weekly meds that stomp on her immune system until the virus already has a foothold.

She is hardly alone. There are millions of people like her in addition to 54 million 65+. People who by and large can't afford to live in a bubble. It just impossible for a large portion of the population to isolate. I have little choice but to do an in person job that might expose me to someone who thinks like yourself and have their sniffles scar my lungs that don't work that great to start with or end my wife's life whereas if we could get people like yourself to understand the unmitigatable risk others face we could drastically reduce that risk by taking a risk that in the scheme of things is no riskier than driving to work this morning and just getting a shot.

I always thought that cryptocurrencies and the whole circuit around them are "useful" in the sense that they provide an alternative to the Mastercard / VISA duopoly - see all the "free speech" platform that were refused by CC circuits and at the moment are alive only thanks to crypto payments.

Obviously, a day will come when the biggest processors (ie Coinbase) will be forced to not accept certain clients / transactions, effectively destroying in practice the possibility of exchanging cryptocurrencies with dollars.
> that vaccine mandates are some global scheme by bill gates.

While they’re all wrong, anti-vaxxers are a whole spectrum. I do think one big of nuance is important here though: there are a lot of strongly pro-vax people, like myself, who are strongly anti-mandate. The choice to take the vaccine is the correct choice. The other choice hurts not only yourself, but others. However there is no circumstance in which I’d support the government requiring a medical procedure to be performed on someone without their consent.

So 1.5m out of 5.1m, which works out as 29%. I'd suggest these being folk who learnt it as their 'mother' tongue, since Scots is not taught as such in the school system.

I'm not sure how that and the 1.1% figure for use at home can be reconciled.

So if we take that 29% figure, despite being a minority, it is still in a better overall position than Gaelic.

One would expect that Scots could be fairly easily saved from extinction if it got official support, but there seems little political will within the Scottish establishment (Parliament and Government) to do so.
Hmm, so the explosion is not larger than a small hydrogen bomb even if it can combust all the fuel with 100% efficiency, which will never happen.

Seems unlikely that an explosion is the largest worry.
I read it as dissing all free/crap/adware. Which is like dissing TV adverts or billboards or, I dunno, stickers on racing cars.

So, cough up for Netflix, or move to an area where people have expended effort to make sure billboards are not permitted, or, I dunno, go watch the ponies. It’s all out there, just got to pay one of the prices.

If you don’t want ads, you pay, or pick up one of dozens of perfectly serviceable used hardware tuners on eBay for 5 quid all day long.
Edit: your CDC link is outdated. It uses data from December 13, 2020 to April 10, 2021. That’s ancient and even before delta was around. The second link also doesn’t use delta data.
Look at more newer data or just look at Singapore, Israel, Iceland. That proves my point.

Your last statement shows you aren’t interested in this honestly because you are more interested in virtue signalling and claiming moral superiority. How you came to the conclusion from my statement about me be young fit and healthy (and thus very low risk) to somehow mean I consider elderly, obese and sick to be expendable is beyond me.

I looked at the data for my age group and found that there’s 5-7x more deaths and a lot more serious injuries from car accidents than Covid.

Also you are wrong. Even in asymptomatic or mild cases, the viral loads is the same and you can spread the virus. The virus grows in your nose and pathways and can spread even if you are vaccinated and within the 3 month period after which the effectiveness drastically declines.

How people expect every young person to keep getting injected every 6 months is beyond me.

In Ontario, 36.6% of the cases on October 8 were fully vaccinated and 34.5% of deaths in Canada in the week of September 4-11 were fully vaxxed. We had under 10% fully vaxxed till June 10, so vast majority of our vaccinations occurred in last 3 months. The vaccine effectiveness decline is clearly visible as the weeks go by.

In Iceland, their recent outbreak started from fully vaxxed individuals even when they had around 60% of population vaxxed.

These vaccines are only a potential symptom mitigator. That doesn’t mean it should get mandated.

Is that not because fewer people are getting married overall? I'd like to see those stats, number of people getting married vs divorcing.
Well, read it again and you'll find out there was nothing non-thought. In the given context, computers with 64kB available to programs were actually pretty high caliber and again that 64kB had nothing to do with system limit but really resource constraint.
> Seems like they really are doing "all legal things and no illegal things" more accurately

Well, they're doing that but there's also a huge set of things whose legal status is "shmaybe?", and AnthonyMouse's point is that this is where the defaults matter. Currently, banks tend to merge that third category into "illegal" set. They could merge it into "legal" set instead, which would arguably be better for society.

I would argue that most of the western world is already there.

With mass media begin projected from every flat surface, less and less people are actually 'reading' (and I don't consider doom scrolling Facebook to be 'reading'), so we are one large ash pile away from the core message of the book.

It's going to have both effects simultaneously. Production is not going to increase very much overnight, because coal mines are not particularly elastic. However, most coal consumers are actually in the market for electricity, so high coal prices will encourage substitution with alternatives like solar.
> I've recently had a talk with a coworker who worked for a month in USA and one of the things that impressed her most was how much food is thrown into the trash in USA, food prices rise everywhere around the world.

No, its just the wealth of the USA and how much the US throws into the trash. The US literally bids up world food prices and both eats a lot and also destroys a lot.

> With every start of their money printer the whole world becomes more poor.

That...makes no sense. There are some countries domestically using the dollar, but for most of the world that would just drive down the dollar against the local currency; even if inflation made people poorer in general in the system using the currency (it doesn't, except people with assets fixed in the currency), it wouldn't make people using other currencies poorer.
Nice article I resonate with quite a lot, even as a CTO of a small to mid sized startup. The rest of the management/founder team of course doesn't understand anything I do so I need to have outside support on that. But what's nice is that this caused me to actively search for outside counselling and a support network. It made me aware of my needs and a drive to meet them, either via my network or by doing the work on all the stuff that causes conflicts inside the founder team or negative emotions inside myself. Because if you don't have a manager, you have to manage yourself and learn quite a lot. And I like that.
Interesting! Would that also work on iOS or desktop only? I am asking because I would like to be able to have a seamless code-server experience on iPad.
They're basically commiting suicide at this point.

>, why are guitar tuners needed? Other stringed instruments seem to not need them,

I love how that innocent question reveals how a popular phrase for objects (i.e. "guitar tuner" instead of "violin tuner") alters public perception. It hides that fact that other stringed instruments like harps/violins do use outside aids (electronics, smartphone apps, or websites[1].)

Some observations:

- guitars are more common than violins, so the tuning object that's more common is ... the "guitar tuner"

- other stringed instrument musicians like harp and violin players also use so-called "guitar tuners" or metronomes that generates a reference pitch A440. Plenty of Youtube tutorials showing harpists/violinists how to use guitar tuners.

- formal vs informal cultural background of the instrument: the "orchestral" instruments like violin have a more formal structure (school ensembles) so you often end up in a situation where a student violinist has no idea how to tune their instrument because "my music teacher always did it for me". Likewise, piano players pay "piano tuners" to tune their instruments. On the other hand, guitars are more of a "folk" instrument (home playing, campfires, self-taught, etc) so guitar players have more a DIY attitude for tuning from the start.

> Generally go with JDK 11, if you may have to deal with older software then maybe go with 8

That's a good recommendation for library authors, but if you're deploying an application that's regularly maintained, I would recommend using the most recent version -- that's the cheapest, safest way -- and if it isn't, consider an old version (like 11) with one of the LTS offerings, choosing a vendor you trust to support OpenJDK (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28821316).

Of course, new applications should now target 17. It's both the current version and it has LTS.
One of the best purchases I ever made was about 8 years ago when I bought the Polytune iOS app for less than £5. It does one thing really well, has never tried to take more of my attention than it should with upgrades or ads, and every time I get a new phone it comes with me.
I was hoping for more of an exploration of how to deal with the worst case, than admittedly arbitrary set of "worst case scenarios".

At the end, there's a whole of two paragraphs how you should use multiple regions, use CloudFormation/TerraForm and store the data in S3. Surely there is more to it, and I'd hope Tim would focus on that side of the story more?

Of course, the analysis is fine in its own light if you are trying to establish the risk of us-east-1 really going down — though I'd like to read such an analysis from someone willing to insure your operations against such a failure — but an analysis covering more of the survival phase would equally apply to other AWS regions and other cloud providers.

> Millions and millions of people died from the common cold before 2019 too. Every year.

Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence. Do you have a source for your extraordinary claim that "millions and millions" die of the flu? Because the CDC estimates that yearly there are between 12k and 52k deaths due to the flu.

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html

And by the way, the flu is an umbrella term that refers to respiratory illnesses caused by multiple viruses, thus comparing deaths from Covid19 with deaths from infections from multiple viruses is not exactly apples to apples.

If you're on linux, use the openjdk build from your distro's official repository. If you're on windows, download the latest openjdk build from oracle (currently https://jdk.java.net/17/), extract somewhere, put /bin folder on path. Optionally set JAVA_HOME env variable to the main folder path. No clue about OSX but it's probably similar to windows.

Ignore oracle jdk, ignore any concept of LTS/not-LTS, that's only for companies with big pockets and specific needs.

People really like to make it sound more complicated than it actually is.
Some weird stuff, most issues are placed in the responsive mode.

They fixed some already, like the resolution selector not being working properly and etc. One that still annoys the heck out of me is the fact that when you right mouse click to re-open the inspect tool the window just selects whatever option it's above your mouse pointer (usually the print option...). One workaround is just keep the mouse pressed and select the option you want.

Brave is literally the only chromium brased browser (besides Chrome itself), on which dev tools work flawlessy.
In the reality I live in, there are alternatives to coal that are just as capable at heating your house but produce much less CO2.
And the first example isn’t even that - it’s an editor who is trying to reduce the usage of sources that stem from Nazi propaganda and to limit flowery unsourced language around the Nazis.

Other editors get in her way, but that’s still in good faith. Not exactly a situation that backs up that commenter’s point, for sure.
You may want to read some news about the area - they are already being bombed. That is what started this whole issue in the first place, it's not likely to help end it. By and large, people who you are actively bombing are way less likely to listen to what you are shouting over the bombs.
That's definitely a cool idea! I might ask around different webshops to see if they're interested in something like this.

You are mixing up completely different things. Why?

The poster seemed to have meant that "radicated beliefs hinder other beliefs". Which is trivial.

That has nothing to do with religion - which may sometimes use """belief""", but is not belief - if you mixed up the (different and opposite) things, you would be using a very weak terminology. You are playing on an equivoque. Either you are attempting to take that elected subject as a belief system (what?! why?! how?! why?!), which would be contradictory with the first stanza - and would be mental poison, the actual subject ("let one now accept the false in ideas, outside formulas") -, or you take it as religion (in this case: "[We witness] there is a way, [find it]: mind you, first of all: it cannot be put in statements"), so there is no radicated belief to curb other beliefs (explicitly in the case you chose, as beliefs are things you can put in statements).

I think any competent nation is able to obtain this type of information - but it will require doing some work. I feel the point is, why give the other parties information for free, where we could easily make them burn money to get it?

I'm thinking back to the Cold War - one way of seeing the rivalry between the US and USSR is as a game of making the other side spend more and more money, in hopes the enemy's economy will give out and collapse before yours does.
Please don't pollute the debate with incendiary inaccuracies. They said "by default, we do not keep any IP logs which can be linked to your anonymous email account." It's always been clear that if they were compelled to do so by law, they would have to comply and that's what happened.
So, going back to the slide, let's assume most stuff in VAERS is trash. Why then have we been running it for 31 years? As the slide puts it, is VAERS a functioning pharmacovigilance system?

If not, what is? From what I've heard, the similar systems abroad are seeing the same kind of stuff. Are they trash too? What accounts for the system being polluted at such a higher level during the last two years?

If we don't have a working system that would warn us about vaccine adverse reactions, that's not evidence that the vaccines are safe, it's just failure to keep track of something very important.

It's not supposed to. The system is supposed to warn us about problems which kick off investigations.
