I haven’t read Good to Great, but have read other Malcolm Gladwell books. They are written to be sensational and popular, not scientific at all. Indeed Gladwell is the one who misrepresented 10000 hours of practice that Anders Ericsson identified as part of his research. Ericsson identifies 10000 hours as a ballpark around which proficient practicers have practiced in their career --- nothing like a prerequisite Gladwell portrayed it to be. To the contrary, Ericsson states that without deliberate practice, the number of hours of practice doesn’t matter.

Peak is nothing like Gladwell books. I recommend it to everyone interested in practice and improvement.
If that’s the case he should at least point out and link to that video at the appropriate time. That wasn’t the case here. When he says “usually it’s because of touching parts like these” and then touches all of them, its not clear to a lay person that he might have discharged all the relevant bits and taken appropriate precautions.

The reality of YouTube is people send links to individual videos, much like this going on HN. People are going to watch a one off (such as myself right now) and not scan a channel for a meta-level warning video.
As in when working on a software project that involves firearms and you're checking the weapons on the table to be completely freaked out by the people present in the room who are supoosed to have had weapons training who pick up weapons from the table, look at the muzzle, and actually pull the fucking trigger, and having someone almost sweep you with a shotgun but your spidey senses make you involuntarily seize the weapon and force it to be put on the table, and then go to the armorer and tell him "Who exactly will handle these, and can we make sure only required people are here?"

That kind of hypothetical scenarios?

I was having a strange feeling I’d seen this site before, but only the style, not the content. I couldn’t put my finger on it until I remembered the page on the Paris pneumatic clock network: http://www.douglas-self.com/MUSEUM/COMMS/airclock/airclock.h... (discussed on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19441300)

I absolutely agree. There will be laypeople who don’t understand because he hasn’t shown all the precautions taken. It could be actually interesting and informative for him to create a parallel video of the things he did to make it ok and link to it in the main video.
This was my go-to answer for why I started programming, too. Only recently I realized that it didn't hold true for me, the real drive I think was wanting to explore things. I loved computers, and games, and naturally was very curious about wanting to understand why and how they worked.

Understanding driving motivations is so incredibly important, as it now gives me quite a lot more perspective in which direction I want to take my career and hobbies.
Sure it's slow on startup, but if you design your functions to pipe to each other as if you were writing purely-functional code, startup time is mostly irrelevant. Function startup happens once and from there they just feed down to the parallel-by-default pipe stream.

Radiation is a significant factor.

Even low-level management is a lot better at repeating themselves than I am. They make sure everybody knows something changes even if they have to go explain it ten times. They say it in every meeting so that when developers are designing things, we say "$MANAGER is going to want us to do X". I tend to just write my canonical version of something and say it once, expecting people to take notes to remember like I would do.

I was under impression that many of the European migrants from Africa are essentially the children of the upper-middle class there as that's pretty much a requirement to be able to afford the quite sizable cost of transportation and various semi-legal obstacles; someone who has "failed at much beyond subsistence agriculture in their home countries" simply can't afford to get from Somalia to Denmark; both for refugees and economic migration you would expect to get disproportionally the wealthier/powerful segments of their society.

I assume it's because the Wacom has some value-adds for specific software, like custom software-specific hot buttons, erase functionality, the zoom circle, etc. and they want to know which applications users are using with the Wacom.

But the fact that there's a legitimate customer-oriented explanation doesn't make this okay.

I mean, if I added an always-on internet connected forward-facing camera and mic to a washer and dryer, I don't think we'd accept "to help you debug issues" as a good answer.
> Subshells are, as the name suggests, running in a subshell. They don't strictly have to be OS subprocesses

Are there really cases where subshells are invoked within the same process? In my experience, it has never been the case. That's why I've been trying to minimize the use of subshells because spawning a new process is a bit slow.

This is a good report, thanks for sharing. Though would be more informative to also share raw data tables for all the charts.

I dug a bit to double-check the hospitalization rate. The Oct 28 report claims (page 7) "18 Times higher risk of being hospitalized with COVID-19". That's a pretty spectacular number, how did they derive it?

1. The report says "One hundred ninety-one patients are currently hospitalized with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19; of these, 134 (70.2%) are not fully vaccinated.".

2. I found the vaccination rate as 67%, using the dashboard at https://data.ct.gov/stories/s/CoVP-COVID-Vaccine-Distributio....

3. I do a little bit of math.

pop_rate = pop_cases / pop_count
pop_cases = pop_case_rate * cases_total
pop_count = pop_count_rate * pop_total

risk = unvax_rate / vax_rate
= (unvax_rate / unvax_count_rate) / (vax_rate / vax_count_rate)
= (70.2 / 33) / (29.8 / 67)
= 4.8x

Your number (5x) is close to what the data indicates compared with what the report claims (18x). Perhaps someone with better fifth grade math skills can riddle me out...

Note that natural immunity provides even more pressure to mutate because it's likely to be targeted against more unstable parts of the virus. We are already seeing this in action--while natural immunity provides very good protection against reinfection *with that strain* it doesn't do so well against other strains. The good vaccines (not the killed-virus Chinese garbage) deals with variants better than prior infection.

And the vaccine *does* provide protection against Delta--you're less likely to get it and if you do get it it generally is less serious. Being vaccinated cuts your death rate 10x.

Natural immunity isn't going to happen, we have seen far too many cases of reinfection with different variants. The more we see the more hopeless the death cult approach looks.
There's also the prolific government corruption, endemic organized crime, and an aging population which brings a whole suite of sociological problems (conservative politics and social structures, poor social services for anyone not a senior, the younger generation will be unable to support the needs of the retired/elderly generation so economic collapse is inevitable.)

Meanwhile the police are driving around in lambos (yes, they're "donated"; the exorbitant maintenance / fuel / tire costs are not.)

Whenever a country's young people are not sticking around, that's a sign things are fucked. These people want to "fix" things by attracting people with money, because they don't want to fix the actual problems with their country.
AFAIK for example on Fedora this (ABRT) is opt in and only sends "thing crashed" if you opt in. You need to explicitly manually check and confirm a full crash dump before sending it, so really not anything being done without the user knowing, at least on Fedora.

However, other applications (including the Wacom tablet drivers) provide no such conveniences. Instead, they require some special treatment.

If I see it frequently on HN (possibly the most popular tech forum in the world??) and also /r/programming, then it is NOT underground.
An interesting difference is that if I hire you and common sense tells me your estimate is impossible I’ll just not do business with you.

But even if common sense makes it clear that the ideas of these experts are unachievable and are never going to work, like the ‘covid 0’ plans and the ‘15 days to stop the spread’ plans, or the doomsday predictions that are clearly never going to come true, I can’t choose not to suffer the consequences.

These experts are a lot less than perfect. Some of them are more like politicians then like scientists. And the ones that are more like scientists frequently contradict each other, which is perfectly fine but should show people with common sense that it is not the brightest idea to blindly trust anything they say.
God I cannot wait to talk to whales. Their oral histories must be incredible. People have fantasized about communicating with extraterrestrials for ages. I don't understand why we haven't invested significant resources in trying to communicate with the other animals on our own planet. What an incredibly weird and non translatable experience it will be to (finally?!) start this adventure with whales.

Tangent time. If you do a cursory search of how smart whales are, you'll get nonsense about how humans are much smarter because the size of the brain isn't relevant, its the ratio of the brain size to the body size. But somehow that argument doesn't apply to squirrels. Or to a 7 foot human vs. a 4.5 foot human. Whales probably aren't as smart as humans, but its due to the environmental pressures selecting for intelligence, not raw capability. Whales have the capability to far outstrip humans in intelligence (if you accept that neuron count and neuron connections are the raw inputs). Lets get some whale engineers working on the hard problems please.
Heh, kind of like dynamic scoping, except as applied to control flow...

That's a very long outage, I wonder how this happened.

- Perhaps internal systems they've developed, and the people who created them left. So it's not just fix the thing, but first understand what the thing is doing and then fix it.
- Data recovery can take forever if you run into edge cases with your databases

Anyone found any articles about their architecture?
I agree.

There is a lot of uranium ore in the ground already, much of it radioactive enough that it will absolutely cause illness if you live or work in its proximity (not even counting the radon it gives off).

Any analysis of the dangers of long term disposal shouldn't concern itself with risks comparable to that given by rich natural deposits of radioactive materials.
AFAIK Wacom drivers on Linux are good & upstream. The various Chinese tablets are much more involved to get running on Linux, if possible at all.

Also, being fully open source I don't think the Linux Wacom drivers do any of the shady stuff the Windows ones apparently do.
This statement assumes that death is the only bad outcome from COVID that sufficient Vitamin D3 levels prevent.

Death is useful as a metric because, unlike other health outcomes, particularly quality of life ones, there's no element of subjectivity.

Hashim Tariq Bhat a photographer from kashmir
Hashim Tariq Bhat (Born 12 October 2002) is a picture taker and founder of sonzal publishers from Ganderbal Kashmir. He was destined to a Kashmiri Muslim family. He finished his tutoring from neighborhood School in Ganderbal. “At the point when our educator used to get some information about our points numerous individuals would tell specialist, designing or something different, yet my answer was consistently a picture taker. I accept that camera has consistently assumed an extraordinary part in my life. It resembles a smaller than normal companion who goes with me in my knapsack. Hashim added.

He has worked with numerous magazines and taken part in may photowalk and workshops on photography. His clench hand representation became famous online via web-based media in year 2017, I recently caught that representation, with only one aim that this will be memory for me, well I thank web-based media that individuals adored that image and numerous pages even shared that. Said Hashim.

In 2018 Hashim was on a photograph shoot when he got a mishap that actually didn’t hurted him however sincerely broked him. His focal point and camera both got harmed, he couldn’t figure what he ought to do now. However, his persistent effort and commitment won there, he didn’t halted and proceeded with his work with the assistance of PDA. At the point when my camera stalled out briefly on the grounds that I had purchased this camera in the wake of setting aside my cash for very nearly 5 years. Well Allah designs better, without a doubt he is the expert organizer

I worked for certain Organizations and news entrances as understudy and buckled down.

As a writer Hashim has likewise distributed his own book “Tale” about his own work for certain short depictions. He additionally adores voyaging so he can investigate new places and catch them inside his camera. He as a rule journey to various high elevations of the valley. Hashim catches these perspectives and offers his astonishing work on various stages
Well, then "opening your eyes" would hurt even more, right? But we still say that, and everybody understands.

When we say "batting an eye", "opening an eye", etc it's clear that we're talking about eye lids since the alternative would be very painful and make no sense.

Colloquially, when we refer to "eyes", we're almost always referring to the facial structure through which the eyeball is visible and almost never the literal eyeball itself.

I mean, when you say somebody has attractive eyes, surely it's understood that you're not referring to the spherical ball of goo itself, but rather their facial structure.
The most powerful CT Scan has been unveil very recently, with a magnet able to pull almost 12 teslas (where regular ones usually go to 1,5 to 3 teslas)[1].

They explain in the article that pumpkins are used because they share a similar shape and structure as well as water ratio as a human head.
They got the magnet from previous research efforts from a research team dedicated to that domain (part of the french research around nuclear and alternative energies).

Thank you! I don't plan to beat the market. At first my plans are to not lose too much. After that to win more often than I lose.

I am not a great poker player, but since I got better than the average I am winning more often than I lose while playing poker and that is enough for me.

So if I will correctly evaluate my chances in more than 50% of cases, at least I won't be losing.

Maybe investing in a passive index fund is better as a long term strategy and I might buy some with 90% of my money while still trying my chance at buying stocks with the other 10%.
For plaque buildup they normally do a quick low resolution scan (to calculate an “agatson score”). I did not know by heart, but according to webmd.com it’s equivalent to 1 year background radiation. Pretty and high resolution images like the pumpkin above are possible but require more radiation. They should use the simplest scan that answers the doctor’s question.

A good question to ask is ‘why’: if no treatment decision depends on the outcome of the scan, the downsides can easily outweigh the benefits. A healthy lifestyle is advisable no matter what the scan says.
