I'd like to believe that "anyone with a brain" won't take one anecdote as gospel and base everything on it and throw out all the other data.

Even if Ivermectin is some Covid miracle treatment (It isn't), Joe Rogan's experience isn't typical or expected and it doesn't mean that pumping Vitamin D and Ivermectin will yield similar results for you or anyone else. Additionally, the Ivermectin narrative (I'll leave the question of if it has any benefit open for the sake of argument) is one that positions it as an alternative for vaccinations which is inherently dangerous.

Also we have actual treatments (Remdesivir, Monoclonal antibodies) that have documented clinical results for active infections, we don't need to gamble on bullshit.

To add one other thing, because I think we can get on the same page about this probably: Just because someone says something and they're in authority/credentialled doesn't mean you should believe them unconditionally. It is important to have a healthy skepticism of information, regardless of its source. But the outright rejection of any "authoritative" information and latching on to whatever counter-narrative (read: misinformation) that happens to be popular is just as naive and stupid, but it seems like that's where we're at these days.

Newsmax Reporter Claims Covid-19 Vaccines Have ‘Luciferase’ to Track You
This is one of the more accessible and straightforward microbiology papers I've read. There's no fluff; it tells you how to reproduce and where to buy the materials, and it seems to balance terms in the jargon-heavy field with short explanations, requiring minimal googling to get an overview if you are topically familiar cell biology and chemistry (not to mention VDJ recombination, a fascinating bio-algorithm which should inspire any computer scientist [0]). Compare this to a typical paper where there is an off-putting amount of fluff and then straight into dense unreadable jargon for the rest of the paper.

The key takeaway seems to be that not all antibodies are equal, and there are probably on the order of 10^X antibodies that might work well enough to be cured for a specific coronavirus, but these antibody molecules can interact strongly or weakly with other systems in the body. You want one that is a very strong antagonist of the target site on the virus while being as unreactive as possible with everything else. Getting the very best protein on the first try (either via infection or vaccine production) is never guaranteed, but the hope is that it would be good enough and not cause other problems. Also note that you can produce problematic antibodies and T/B cell surface receptors in response to either a vaccine or a virus (see long covid).

Something I've noticed in general with homepages of many news sites is that they're all so chaotic. Back in the day the Dutch nrc.nl and volkskrant.nl simply had a linear view, but now it's all chaotic. Many sites are like this.

Waking up in the morning and "let's check all the news of the last day" far harder than it needs to be.

At least this one is linear, in spite of the somewhat ridiculous font size.
i'd like a control group that can be chinese but which isnt constantly denied access to knowledge, denied awareness of the world, denied it's own history. it would take generations, but this assertion that there are differnt people- i'm not sure it really would hold. i tend to think certain modes of thought & consideration & reflectance are simply cut off in china, that a culture with real critical self g societal review are impossoble there. to attribute these as core elements of a people seems like a blind denialism of the long pervasive & extensive influence of a government which mandates a basically puritanical level of social trust in itself.
Hiring Rails devs? I'll work for you!

Seriously, though: I firmly believe that most managers do think and act like you do.

(I've been in lead and/or management-lite roles myself; I don't view management as some weird or evil "other")

But, I think it only works if that sort of change is valued all the way up the org chart and folks at each level are empowered, incentivized, and motivated to address the pain points of the folks below.

If the org chart is more than N levels deep, then I think this becomes practically impossible. Managers feel the pain of their direct reports deeply and acutely and absolutely want to make things better: after all, it is in their best interests as well. But a manager won't feel or even understand the challenges of folks N levels below; it's probably not even practical to expect this.

(I'll let others argue over the exact value of N above)

That's why I don't think the situation can be resolved without some sort of dedicated resources allocated to developer experience. The most obvious answer (for engineering orgs big enough to support it) would be dedicated developer experience teams. For teams that lack the headcount to dedicate engineers to it full time, an alternate solution could be dedicated chunks of time -- "hackathon Fridays", etc.

Facebook will shut down facial recognition system
The issue is VR is in practice a really terrible interface for widespread shared user experiences. MMO’s are almost exclusively played in 3rd person perspective in part because looking at eye level prevents you from seeing behind the person in front of you, and removing collision detection doesn’t help. Think of walking around a crowded convention and you really can’t see many people at the same time. You can of course swap perspectives with VR, but face to avatar conversations don’t add much. Their missing out on facial expressions so in practice it’s mostly just shared voice chat with a tiny percentage of body language.

The only thing linking metaverse and VR is basic buzzword bingo, they don’t gain anything from being linked.
It also presupposes such systemic disadvantages exist. Not sure why so many people from other countries immigrate to places that are so obviously systemically biased against them.

Or why when institutions such as Harvard actually do systemically discriminate against Asians it’s routinely ignored by the woke crowd.

Can anyone explain to me why Asians despite having some of the highest scores and GPAs have the lowest rate of admissions to some of the wokest institutions in America?

Why is the difference in incarceration rate between men and women or the police shooting rate not presented as systemic discrimination?
Audacity (as it currently stands) is an audio file editor, not a DAW. Under its new management, it seems likely that it will evolve into something with many DAW features within a year or two.
Yeah it's unnerving because there are many great, real accomplishments from people in India, and no doubt many more to be found in the future. But dreaming about a special destiny inherited from the past doesn't necessarily require the dreamer to think about the here and now and what responsibility they may have to bring about the future we all desire.

It's dangerous because it simultaneously pacifies people towards the active role they should take in creating the world they will live in but also promises them they are the would-be inheritors of some mythical past, and that others are unlike them in that way.

As always we gotta work together and look towards the future, not the past. Basically, if you want to live in Star Trek, at least.
Are you implying that someone with millions of dollars to spend on hardware and an intention to mine, would not do so because where they happened to be located at the moment had high electricity prices? It seems to me like this requirement of cheap energy only centralizes mining to those few who can afford to remotely locate hardware. And location centralization is the worst kind. If China has the cheapest energy and 80% of the miners in the world pay to physically locate their rigs there, can't a single country take over the entire network at a whim?

That's the scary, and perhaps most immoral, part about Google. More so than other megacorps, it relies on a shadow workforce of contractors to do core parts of its work. It's quite the caste system, and most Google FTEs are oblivious or choose to ignore it.

I know a Google contractor who was denied access to a lactation room at her office (she's the type of contractor who works full-time alongside regular employees). When she tried to fix that, she got sent into an infinite loop of support tickets being bounced around between different departments claiming it was the other one's responsibility. Literally no one was able to fix that for her. Her manager was on a different continent, and wasn't able to help either.

I don't really understand what you are asking exactly. It sounds like a question someone would ask about a war zone. The whole thing seems totally imagined to me, maybe fed by denial about the quality of the US response to covid.

Trying to guess what that apparent US hysteria about Australia is based on — maybe it's because we had longer lockdowns/restrictions than most places, I think because there was hardly any covid cases here until the last few months (although Melbourne had an outburst a while ago), so not many people bothered about getting vaccinated. In the last few months a lot of people have gotten vaccinated, the large majority of Australians I think, so restrictions are being phased out. Personally, I've not heard anyone here objecting to the restrictions/lockdowns, but rather to what seem unfair exceptions or people acting irresponsibly, like live music venues being closed while some large sporting events are allowed, or people gathering in large parties when they know it's a bad idea. I don't think there's much of a story, and overseas stories presenting the situation/covid response in Australia as outrageous! unbelievable! inconceivable! etc seem totally detached from reality.

(The most outrageous true Australian story I've heard this year was that Australia is soon going to get nuclear-powered submarines because the US wants us to, I guess because of their current posturing against China, although for 50 years we've had a strong policy of not having nuclear-powered ships, or nuclear-powered anything. Everyone I mentioned it to thought it was totally outrageous too. I guess not many people in the US are worked up about that.)

edit: I looked up some figures. In June, 2% of Australians were fully vaccinated, now 64%, and at least one dose 75%, and increasing fast. 20% of Australians became fully vaccinated in the last month alone. https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations?country=AUS

To be specific on the history Paul De Casteljau worked it our first in 1959 while working at Citroen. Not long after in the early 60s Pierre Bézier worked out the same thing at Renault independently and Bézier curves are named in his honor.

In computer software, bezier curves have always been common in 2d desktop publishing (fonts, adobe illustrator and its predecessors etc.) but 3d software had an ambivalent relationship where animation software (3DS-max etc.) always used them but games avoided them due to higher computation time than straight meshes, hence lower framerates. Of course this is changing now.

It feels like there's a missing abstraction here: there are many ways to divide up a program, but it should be possible to separate the description of the data format used to communicate over the divide separately from the transport that ships the data over the divide.
Well they may work in some way but you'll see degraded functionality. I don't think it's hyperbole, every X window manager and panel, dock, etc that I've seen has support for a seemingly random jumble of motif and EWMH hints, and rarely will they support all of them. If you're using the standard Xresources then those might sometimes work in other apps, like Tcl/Tk and maybe FLTK I think supports it, but other things, not so much. And if you want good high DPI support with those apps then forget it.

I cannot remember what the Raspberry Pi default desktop looks or acts like as I haven't used that in forever, sorry. All I remember is not liking it for other reasons, i.e. the DRM/KMS driver performance was too poor to be able to handle a compositor or play a 1080p video. But maybe that has changed recently?
Thanks! That animation was mainly to help me understand the chain printer timing myself. If it helps anyone else, that's a bonus :-)

The quick summary is that the characters are on a rotating chain, and the printer has 132 hammers, one for each column. When the character lines up with the column the hammer fires. Thus, a whole line is printed very fast.

This sounds straightforward, but the implementation is surprisingly tricky to make it optimized. The complicated part is the vernier spacing between the chain and the hammers, so one hammer lines up at a time, and this timing is synchronized with the core memory access speed so the computer can check the character in the print buffer at that position at the right time.
I'm sorry, but storage devices have a failure rate of exactly 100%. They always have, and always will. Sometimes spontaneously, sometimes slowly. This has never had anything to do with Apple.

The correct approach to data integrity is backups, not trying to scrape bits from something that smoke has escaped from.

If your data is on a single device, you will eventually lose that data. Some people haven't experienced it yet, but it's a known truth that whole industries have processes around.
Forming your own opinion and sharing it are two completely different things.

In many ways I feel like Clojure is a better Lisp than Lisp itself. Syntactic niceties like support for vectors/maps/sets are, once you've gotten used to them, hard to do without. And although it's orthogonal to the syntax, I also appreciate its focus on immutability. I just with there was a Lisp like it that didn't run on the JVM.

it's extreme, but it's just a style choice - it's not like the internal/individual articles have that all over the place. Eye-catching. Harks to billboards/public ad posters etc. Good for them for trying something outside the box on a news site.
If you're not an experienced /anything/ then I can see how that comment might have seemed like a personal attack, but I was actually only providing an observation, from someone who's been around longer than "11 minutes", about python and the rate at which it and other similar entire systems and their library of best practices changes, dickface.
> The hummus comment was to point out that there are foods which people might consider processed, but it doesn't mean it's less healthy than their unprocessed ingredients. Just depends on how it was processed. Maybe I'm misunderstanding "processed" tho

I see. Here's what I understand, but can't substantiate or explain the mechanics myself:

* Eating foods with less processing is one of the strongest consensuses in nutrition - almost universal, in a field where there is a lot of uncertainty.

* Processing is a matter of degree. From the OP (and based on it, I'd guess that Impossible food is ultra-processed, hummus somewhere between minimally processed and processed, depending on the hummus):

Ultra-processed: Foods with additives or few whole food ingredients; includes most packaged snacks, frozen meals, granola bars, soda, and cereal.

Processed foods: “Foods such as canned fish, vegetables and artisanal cheeses, which are manufactured by adding salt, sugar, oil, or other processed culinary ingredients to minimally processed foods.”

Processed culinary ingredients: Table sugar, oils, fats, and salt.

Minimally processed foods: Frozen fruit or vegetables, breads with just a few ingredients, milk, canned beans.

* Why does processing matter? Essential question and I don't know much of the answer, but part of it is that context matters: The effects of foods relies on much more than individual nutrients in the food, but what they are contained in (obvious when you think about it: you couldn't ingest a pile of carbon, etc.). But what are the factors that matter and why? No idea. I'd love to learn about it.

The best source I've found, which examines it on a basic level, recommended several years ago by a leading nutritional expert, is the Brazillian government's dietary recommendations (note these are from 2015):

You should post in the official monthly thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29067491 It was posted yesterday, so it's still active.
Ok, but you changed the subject (what the Taiwanese people want and do is quite different from an outdated legal fiction maintained only because it is forced upon them). And I have no interest in debating that. Have a nice day.
I'm I guess what you would call a supply and demand absolutist. There's no "correct" amount of development or "optimal" level of density (wrt prices, I mean; obviously people have preferences). If you let demand outpace supply, then you should expect the available market-rate housing to increase in price. (And that's true even if you think your city is building a lot, or if you think it's already really dense, or if you think it already has a lot of people and big buildings, and so on.)

How much of a problem is this actually? Eg what proportion of our overall emissions (or environment impact etc) are from the manufacture and supply of clothing? And how much extra is from 'fast fashion' vs a return to old fashioned clothing habits?

I just did a very quick search, and found eg https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-by-sector Their numbers suggest that cotton and clothing barely show up.

I did not get vaccinated, I was infected and have antibodies. Pfizer has the least amount of foreign bodies, 30ng vs 100ng from Moderna, the JJ can only be used once, so as long as you are upkeeping boosters you will be fine, but the Moderna vaccine with give a stronger immune response.

I was waiting for Novavax but they kept delaying it constantly (they said summer, then autumn and now 2022), so I am keeping an eye on Medicago as well, since I think the protein subunit ones are hardier than the mRNA ones. Because the studies keep changing (moderna used to be the best, then they said pfizer was just as protective, then during delta they said JJ was good) its hard to predict what problems and which of the vaccines will be best suited to that environment. The best immunity seems to be from a natural infection so a mild infection that creates antibodies has been said to be the best protective (many self reported infections weren't covid, but the ones that had testing showed very protective long lasting effects), although I don't think that its worth it to risk long covid for this effect.

Despite all this, the monoclonal antibody treatment is very good. It is userful post infection or when you are worried about being exposed, its thousands of dollars per treatment (gov paid for it already and it won't cost you), but its something to keep in mind about its usage. The US is buying a lot of them for treatment you may want to make a note of it around you with this site. https://protect-public.hhs.gov/pages/therapeutics-distributi...
