Five years from now, we'll be taking a Covid vaccine for whatever the prevalent variant is (exactly like we already do for the flu).

The only difference is that, if you don't take your flu vaccine every year, you're much less likely to be hospitalized or die.

Windows has a trick for that. It actually hibernates the OS, GUI, Drivers etc when you shut down, just without any apps running. This way it can come back up in seconds.

You'll notice that after you install a new device driver it'll boot much slower. This is because it invalidates the hibernate image and does an actual boot next time.

It's also why it won't let you fiddle with the BIOS settings before it does a quick boot. Because the hibernate image presumes the exact same hardware configuration.
I too want to believe in a deeper conspiracy around this shitshow, but occam's razor says that it's probably a mix of:

* it's a hard problem to solve

* nobody wants to solve that problem

* it's a national crisis, not just an SF crisis

* people are incompetent and governments are slow to move (and rarely make use of data correctly)

* things generally tend to get better only after they get worse
> From where I stand, given the evidence, the people who say something like "vaccination has no impact on R" are not far from people claiming the earth is flat. I mean maybe the earth is flat. Even the guy who responded to me saying I was wrong then changes his mind on that

Judging from the statistics of high vaccination rate countries like Israel vs Sweden,[1] there are a few important questions to respond with such as:

Which vaccine, formulated against which variant?

Vaccinated When?

Against which infectious variant?

At what point was herd immunity hit?

Overall, it appears as though Sweden's approach was better as they are not having a 3rd wave, they hit herd immunity, because natural immunity > vaccination, they have more durable results against future variants, etc.

I'm not disputing whether we should vaccinate some that are old, or have comordibidities, or want to get it. But, pushing a leaky vaccine across a large population is a license to get mutations and cause new variants in a large population. In effect, adapting the virus to target the vaccinated.

This is gross. It's gross because you're right, there are a lot of things that politcians get a pass on. That's not okay.

But you are making ridiculous absurd statements. No, not everyone in the other part is getting investigated. No, not anyone who claimed interference is getting threatened. How would that be possible if up until the last week (and going well into the future), we're discussing this stuff?

This absurd hyperbole ruins whatever valid points you have because you look like the kind of commenter that HN was supposedly above, but for some reason dang decided to bump this explicitly political bs (with the expected political comments) to the front page. We didn't even try to get a better source than fox news?

If you care about this stuff (and you should), you need to disconnect it from political stuff. You're jumping in bed with people that lie.
You can't think of a non-emotional, logical objection to millions of people dying pointlessly? Do we need to say something like "the economy will go down" to get you on board?
People with natural immunity should be considered to have immunity. The science clearly shows that their immunity is not inferior and is perhaps superior to those with vaccine-based immunity. It's crazy to me that we're even having a debate about whether natural immunity should count as immunity.

you've just perhaps inadvertently explained why trump is/was so popular, despite being a self-centered idiot. he was able to stick a thumb in the eye of the american oligarchs, and that felt to many americans like a sliver of hope against the hegemonization of america.

but that our political system isn't a full-on autocratic aristocracy doesn't mean it isn't oligarchal. oligarchy implies an outsized influence by a small subset, not complete control, just as democracy doesn't mean complete control by the people. oligarchy seems a pretty apt characterization.

I would say most industries. Anything that requires creating any kind of digital content (images, videos, CAD models, electronic schematics, chip design, PCB layout, etc), most of the scientific software, all rely on the computational power and the speed of the desktop applications.
Well sure, but that’s part of the free market, and has nothing to do with pressure from the government. The government pressure story is just not convincing to me.

I do some work with the homeless in chicago, and the people you see living on the street are, by and large, not drug addicts.

In Chicago, drug addicts are transient-homeless. They're in and out of shelters as they get evicted or kicked out of a place, but they find somewhere new (indoors) to live. Some may be periodic homeless.

The chronic homeless in Chicago are usually physically and mentally disabled, and while they may drink, it's not substance abuse that keeps them from holding down a job and getting shelter.

One of the recent encampments we visited had an interesting story. It sits on what was the future site of a factory, and the group had all gathered there to work as labor for the construction. However, the builders found contaminated soil, and were working on a mitigation plan when covid hit, and these guys (and a few women) have been living there ever since. They recently called the police because someone who moved in to camp had stolen propane tanks from the neighborhood grills.

They're not all like that but it's a much different scene than a warm weather city's homeless camps. Edit: One thing that makes this plain is the lack of sharps in the chicago homeless camps. Most of the time you won't see orange caps!

To be honest, not needing to write legacy C# and C/C++ applications have replaced VS for me.

It's not a replacement for VS itself in that regard, but the activities that used to be bound to that IDE moved on over the years.

Whenever I have to load some old project into VS, it feels old, slow and clunky compared to other tools. The limitations on the structuring on-desk, metadata, building, linking etc. are very annoying as well for projects that ended up having more than just generic Windows Desktop targets (or even if they are highly specific editions/versions). I suppose that might be because other tooling outside of the process of the 'write-debug-release' chain has moved to broader and more interchangeable concepts where VS has remained basically the same for the last decade.
It’s thunderbolt physically, but they don’t call it that because they aren’t certified, or something like that.
Yeah, I have no problem with cs or cpp files thousands of lines long. Granted, I'm loading the project from an NVMe disk, but I just don't see what you're running into.
The HN party line has moved from disavowing inflation to embracing it as a great time to buy stocks.

High inflationary periods will be low growth...demand softens as buying power erodes. The time to buy stocks was the beginning of the Era of permanent QE (2009), not now.

Either inflation erodes buying power and stocks suffer a grueling, long term erosion...or the Fed raises rates and you get a massive reset. When a society is as indebted as ours, you can't just casually raise rates. If the ten year bond reverted to the historical avg yield of 4.5%, national debt interest payments would eat 30% of the US Federal Budget...and that's just to pay interest, not principle
> One thing that I think is getting lost in all of these discussions

What's really being lost in all of these discussions is science. Looking at your case:

1. You decided to lie to get a booster even though it has apparently not been approved for your use.

2. The vaccines do not provide sterilizing immunity and it is possible to become infected even when vaccinated. While the data does suggest that vaccination reduces transmission, it also indicates that infected vaccinated individuals are still capable of spreading the virus.

3. Despite the fact that you have no idea how much additional protection your booster will give you, and for how long, or if and how much it might reduce your ability to transmit the virus to others, you're choosing to be "very bad about masking and social distancing right now" which will increase your potential exposure, especially if you live in an area with a higher positivity rate. More exposure, even while vaccinated, increases your risk of infection.

4. You say you're doing this to protect the children you are in close contact with, but according to the CDC, only 542 children under the age of 18 have died in the US during the entire pandemic.

> At the other end of the spectrum, I think it's totally okay for anyone who is vaccine-skeptical, for whatever reason, to take a wait and see approach. But there eventually comes a point when a majority of the public has actually gone ahead and been guinea pigs for you, and you're just needlessly endangering people.

How long before the definition of "vaccine skeptical" changes? Will someone eventually be labeled "vaccine skeptical" because they refuse to get their 10th booster?
Game dev/design edu space is still very young, therefore full of snake oil salesmen.
The way that Destin described "revoking access" in his original video is misleading enough that I think it warrants an actual retraction.

As Drew points out, the thing that he described is clearly not possible, thanks to the "analog hole" (or even an equivalent "digital hole" -- if the protocol is open source, there's nothing stopping me from creating a fork of their software that logs everything it ever sees).

Closing the analog hole is impossible. Closing the digital hole would require some sort of DRM, which is definitely counterproductive, and most likely ineffective.
The original rational was bullshit, no surprise the walk back is too.

Again, if you're not even arresting people for minor things like breaking windows, you're not going to see it on a "crime rate graph".
Ask HN: Are there new projects that use Subversion?
I'm curious if anyone knows of a project that was started recently (let's say in the last 4 years) and chose SVN as their VCS (or if any project has recently migrated to SVN).

I'm hearing that game companies who have issues with keeping large assets on Git are choosing SVN, are there projects other than games that would choose SVN nowadays?
What is the premise of this response? That unless we finally and completely solve the problems of society, nobody must be allowed to have streets free of needles and feces, lest they forget that addicts exist?

I'm sorry, I don't think it's immoral for me to want to live in a neighborhood where all my neighbors are housed, and keep their feces and drug abuse indoors.

I doubt that. Unless you specifically target win32 and its non-core replacements (like classic full-fat C#) there is nothing that VS has to offer that outdoes other programs.

For the non-web world specifically, the part that was Windows Server and Windows Desktop is simply a dead end outside of niches. And within the niches, comparisons are not all that relevant since... they are niches. If you have a specific job for a specific tool, then trying to compare that with something that does not meet those specifics isn't all that helpful.

Most of my C/C++ work that remains doesn't even target windows anymore since there is no purpose for it. The super small subset that does is just things like device drivers, and that's more a property of the OS than of the project itself.
IDE specifically, or editor in general? The former wouldn't really surprise me since most of the editors I see friends and coworkers using aren't really IDEs per se; I mostly see people using VS Code, Vim, Sublime, and maybe emacs occasionally. The only IDEs people I know ever talk about using besides VS are Jetbrains products and I guess Xcode for iOS dev.
