The point is that math shows they determined that it has an effect before the trial ended.

So now you are faced with a conundrum. You made sure that it has an effect to the degree you wanted. Now the math says that you either might get even surer by continuing the trial, or save 30% people from hospitalisation.

Also in treatment group just one person died while in control it was 12.

So what's it going to be? Making little bit more sure or saving few lives?

>readers reacted negatively, even violently, to seeing [...] stories that were placed there randomly

>HN users have an intense emotional relationship with the front page

If a "greatest 80s hits" radio station started broadcasting music from the 00s and people got pissed off you wouldn't say "listeners of this station have an intense emotional relationship with it". When they tune in to the "greatest 80s hits" station, that's the only thing they're looking for; they don't want to listen to random songs.
Sure, this could be part of a bigger trend. Or not.

There seems to be no information on the details of their "examining" nor even their exact criteria. We could argue we should react before harmful actions are taken, but in this specific context there is nothing provided to decide if it's harmful or not (saying libraries should never be examined doesn't seem reasonable either).

In the few short weeks i have used CoPilot inside of VSCode, it's been a big* timesaver; I can type out a bare skeleton of a class, and with minimal guidance for things like naming conventions CoPilot let's you simply tab+enter through each class property.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I feel like CoPilot should have the ability to allow a user to define a 'class template' in the form of a block comment and then allow a user to write "make this class" or something.

*Big being it's probably saved me around two hours of manually typing out 'public property... etc.'

This superficially sounds like a good design choice, but makes no sense whatsoever if you stop and think about it for a minute.

Clustering systems like ZooKeeper are pointless for scenarios where things never fail. They serve no purpose in a system that is infallible, unchanging, and perfect. They're intended for handling failures and other changes.[1]

Power outages happen. Temporary but total network outages happen, sometimes across even multi-region deployments. Cluster-wide reboots may need to occur occasionally. Startup might be slow due to a storm of other systems also starting and slowing down everything.

These scenarios have to be handled. It's not optional for any system design for failure scenarios.

VMware handled it fine. Windows Failover Clustering handled it fine. SQL Server AlwaysOn Availability Groups handled it fine. Kubernetes was back up and running before anything else.

ZooKeeper didn't. It just sat there. No nodes were down. No services had crashed. It wasn't out of disk space. No data was corrupted. No "inconsistency" of any kind had occurred.

It just decided not to start. Because it was, what? Too impatient? It saw that 60 seconds had elapsed, and apparently 61 seconds is just too long to wait, so no cluster! No! Too slow! Boot faster next time!

What if this occurs at 1am on a system without 24/7, round-the-clock support? ZooKeeper will go down, and stay down.

In this case this was a planned outage, so I had to stay up until 3:30 am troubleshooting why ZooKeeper wouldn't act like any other cluster I had ever dealt with. Fun.

[1] I got this lesson taught to me by a CommVault backup product designer. He explained that "backup products" aren't. They're recovery products, and their only purpose is to be used in a disaster. If they can't handle a disaster, they're worse than worthless, they give a false sense of confidence! CommVault was designed by people that had operated forward IT bases for the military in the Yugoslav civil war. They had to recover systems from data centres that were literally smoking craters in the ground. ZooKeeper struggles with planned reboots. It's not even vaguely in the same league of trustworthiness.
You are describing a valid career path, it is okay to be part of a software development process if you don‘t code.

Yeah, probably true. But Chinese military command is probably aware that Taiwan is of severe strategic interest of many western nations, so it is probably not a secret that it would trigger interventions by third parties.

But yes, internal strive you mean that some hardliners suddenly decide to take action.

Currently China is still growing. Some tried to mock Chinese ghost cities, but most of them become quite vibrant after a while. I think Evergreen just faces the problems with liquidity because their holdings are very undervalued and their ratings might be influenced by political pressure. Slowing growth is inevitable anyway and rating agencies haven't adapted yet. I don't really believe in immediate danger for the company, maybe there are other examples.

What if a player with a German locale used their favorite anime character’s name? How do you know whether to use Chinese or Japanese characters on somebody else’s PC? Even a Chinese player should see Japanese characters there. But you would first of all basically need to ask the German player with a drop down menu which language their name is in, which will never happen, so we just assume Chinese. It’s just broken.

I think we clearly need an in-band solution. Some character that switches the Asian glyph variant, or separate characters altogether. The former would be annoying for non-variable sized Unicode because you’d lose the ability to use random access into a large corpus of text, because you’d need to scan the entire text to find out the current Asian glyph variant mode.. sigh

Many good points. I'd like to add a common open secret that I believe is wrong: 1 upvote = 1 karma point.

This might be true internally and initially, before any ant-spam, anti-upvote-ring detection takes place. Effectively, from a user point of view it is not - at least for me.

When I look at the points one of my submissions get and compare my increase in overall karma it is very roughly 50% most of the time. Needless to say that I never participated in things that would be considered unethically (voting-ring etc.). Also not a complaint at all, just an observation that goes against what is often written in "about HN" type posts (but not OP).

EDIT:

1. My observation is from more than a year ago, so things might well have changed.

2. As lordnacho points out below this seems to be true only for stories. Regardless why it happens, awarding stories with less points than comments makes a lot of sense to me. After all posting a suitable story is much less effort than writing a decent comment.

I had a £250 GPS tracker in my (pricey) electric bike, and it got stolen.

No worries - I tracked it. It was on it's way up the M40 motorway. I called the local police. But it was already out of their jurisdiction.

An hour later, it stopped. It had ended up in the back-garden of a house in Aston, a suburb of Birmingham. Jurisdiction: West Midlands Police (I think). So I rang them - I gave them the actual address.

"I'm sorry, we can't just go ringing the doorbells of people based on that, and we certainly can't go searching their back-garden. And we have more important things to do than search for bikes; do you have any idea how many Porsches and Ferraris are stolen in the West Midlands every week?".

Suppose I come to Aston, and ring the doorbell myself? Will you assign an officer to make sure the thieves don't try to kill me? "Nope."

My replacement bike is a Ferrari, with no GPS tracker.

For anyone looking for a quick summary of "the source", TNI was described by a journalist as very "Kremlin-friendly". From the wikipedia article:

I agree that for CJK-natives it's not such a big deal probably (unless they live their life in more than one of those languages). For people like me who primarily use their computer in English but also do some stuff in Japanese every now and then it's very frustrating. Of course at this point I know what's going on when 直 or whatever looks wrong, but it's still frustrating.

OSs and Browsers having their own logic for it actually makes things _worse_ in some cases. Windows is especially bad (different types of UI elements care about different settings or don't care at all, so good luck having apps render correctly if you don't change your entire OS locale), and Chrome is pretty bad too, again especially on Windows. Overall MacOS/iOS and Safari does the best job by far.

I would honestly manually recreate my simple PCB designs in Falstad's simulator[1] and use judgment to decide whether further thermal or high-freq analysis is necessary.

I haven't looked in a few years, but you'll likely be hard-pressed to find an open source simulator that will give you analog, pure digital, "real" digital (logic with slew/noise/nonlinearities), electromagnetic, and thermal simulations plus usability.

ANSYS is a well-established professional simulation suite and doesn't even really meet the usability threshold, in my opinion.

as an armchair linguist it is clearly two (not one, not three) distinct "characters", by going how I am guessing native speakers think about them.

If all three had different codepoints and you replaced 国 with 國 a lot of people would realize, less so if you replaced 國 with 國.

To my understanding the only argument in favour for han unification was that it would have taken-up a lot of codepoints otherwise.

There are multiple trials showing HCQ didn’t work. It was heavily studied and bombed over and over again in all 3 contexts: prophylaxis, early treatment, and treatment of hospitalized patients.

Just use google directly to find the trials I’m talking about, instead of being blinded by the ivm meta site creators (who created a similar site last year for HCQ). IvmMeta mixes in poor quality studies with studies that actually found no significant effect for IVM and claims they all are pro IVM.

This is plainly false.

There is something to the fact that not everyone will need or benefit from a degree but the way you're rationalising it seems off. It's like you're saying that we should keep people uneducated so they don't get too uppity about what they do in life and we have them fill the worst jobs out there that nobody wants.

25 years ago computers and networks were different. Today text is a <0.1% of traffic compared with video and you have billions of bytes of RAM in every pocket computer. So yes, you can pile on more emojis and no one would be bothered.

Unicode may have been never adopted at all if it had even larger set for CJK and made all CJK texts 1.5-2x larger than in Han-unified version, due to longer encoding. Also: UTF-8 did not exist yet and most systems treated text as arrays of fixed length characters.

> I cannot set a single lang: attribute for the whole page because it'll be wrong for the other two languages.

If you need to control the language display at the granularity of a single text field (rather than a user or a page or a website), then yes, you need a tool that operates on a single text field. This shouldn't be too surprising.

Surely you can get away with one of your other solutions, though. In particular, you can guess the language and be right most of the time.
I found this[0] a while back, because I always felt "thanks in advance" is just off somehow. They list the following alternatives as examples:

"I really appreciate any help you can provide."

"I will be grateful if you can send me this information."

"Many thanks for considering my request."

"I hope what I have requested is possible."

"In the meantime, thank you so much for your attention and participation."

Often I don't use these word-for-word. The point is, I think, to formulate a closer that's at least a bit customized for the occasion. Then the whole thing will just seem more natural, friendly and human.

> There are more than 60 peer reviewed studies showing positive effect for ivermectin.

I couldn't help but notice your use of purposely vague and misleading weasel words such as "positive effect".

Meanwhile I recall reading one of those ivermectin studies presented on another discussion on HN, and it certainly raised some red flags regarding how it was put together. For instance, if my memory doesn't fail me, it relied on an astonishingly small sample (100 patients, all reported as mild cases, divided into control and treatment) and to make matters worse the control group was given hydroxychloroquine instead of a placebo, effectively comparing ivermectin to hydroxychloroquine.

In the end the study reported that the fatality rate in the control and treatment groups was the same, and the only claim was that the statistical analysis suggested more patients from the ivermectin group were discharged earlier, which could very well be just statistical noise. Other than this the paper reported no benefit at all.

So, this is what weasel words buy: they are used to hide facts and misguide people. So unless you actually substantiate your claims and point exactly the very best study you feel shows that said "positive effect" is and how it was quantified, I have to dismiss your claim as something between a baseless assertion and blatant misinformation.
> Does anyone have the stomach for $100M training costs, say?

No, but the point of such law is that it will get exponentially cheaper as well (also count in the inflation of money over time).

My original motive to write this page came most from issues in video games, where text is often displayed using custom routines and built-in rules in the OS & browser can't be of help.

Well, from the perspective of the photons, the explosion happened just an instant before they hit the telescope, and they barely even travelled a single Planck length to get from the exploding star to the telescope. Events that are so far apart in space and time don't have fixed periods (or distances).

To observers in other galaxies that are moving fast relative to both us and the star, the time between the explosion and our detection of it (were they able to perceive both) would also vary.
That's not a very striking example - Humans are apes, by any reasonable phylogeny.

Funnily enough, there's another web page on the NASA domain that outlines the "longer path" or "equal transit" theories as the correct cause of lift on an aircraft wing: https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/UEET/StudentSite/dynamicso...

When I was studying for my PPL, they taught us using the equal transit theory, though the instructor couldn't help himself from telling us that it was a simplification.
