I find it infuriating how anyone who dared to question vaccines and their side effects profile were immediately ostracized, censored, hated and gaslighted.

Now it's coming out more and more how there are many adverse effects and much more frequent than what was originally claimed which in addition with how fast they lose their efficacy changes risk rewards profile very much.

In my life I have never seen something that you aren't allowed to question as much as those vaccines. For me, I'm by nature going to feel that something's off and it only makes me dig deeper, increasing distrust.
My advice for people contemplating 3D printing is similar to software dev: if you can buy exactly what you want off the shelf, you should do that. If it has to be custom, consider what parts could come off the shelf or if it all has to be custom.

I’ve printed many usable and useful things around the house and with the kids. It’s been incredibly fun and even educational, but I generally don’t do it for things that you can pretty easily buy.
I think that they choose gtk-rs because they have experience with it, if you take a look most stuff is written in Rust with gtk-rs. Also I think that they say they won't drop gtk.
That sounds fun as hell, but I'm not sure if it's a good use of time.

Something I've noticed the last years is that people working on companies often don't do the most efficient thing, they do what they want to do, and make arguments for why it's good. And why not!

A tip if you are scared of spiders: Trap them in a glass, then slide some hard surface underneath. You can now move the spider (like out a window) while holding it trapped with the lid.

This has actually eliminated much of my arachnophobia, since I find myself studying the spider, safely confined inside the glass before letting it out. (This is actually one way they treat phobias clinically, a kind of desensitization exercise)
Fair enough.

For the purposes of HN, my understanding is that once conversation gets going on a post, that becomes the canonical submission, and additional sources should be posted in the comments there.

The instructions for installing debian are shorter than that. If docker is a big part of your deployment strategy, just put developers on linux workstations and leave all the osx and windows fluffery in the past where it belongs.
It is what I understand, and my comment was a "poetic" version with a musical reference to Rob Dougan's "Speed me towards death". The litteral interpretation is slightly mocking the recent similar headlines about 'stop buying things' or 'stop shopping'. Let people stop buying subscriptions to their newspapers and see what kind of articles they'll then pen.

No, that's not true at all. You got it exactly backwards.

https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s0806-vaccination-pr...

I wonder why you cherry-pick obscure sources from other countries while your own CDC quite clearly refutes your claims.

Moreover, you do not need to pick between either getting infected or taking the vaccine, so your whole argument makes no sense from the start.
Don't get me wrong, I still find families of baby spiders to be absolutely terrifying in every way, and it takes every bit of my willpower to fight the urge to remove them from existence. But at the end of the day, the key word is family. It's a group of living things, with parents that apparently have the emotional capacity to care about them.

Hopefully when you say "get rid of it," that means gently coaxing them into a box and putting them outside.
I keep thinking how QUIC / HTTP/3 would go nicely with ESM in the browser (via script tags with type=module) for simple sites.

A webmaster could totally avoid the complexity of learning a JS tool chain. Right now even 1000 lines of JS has you reaching for a bundler. It would make shipping a small html+css+js site again as simple as dragging files to your webserver.
Given honest participants acting in good faith, self-interest aligns with common good. You start a business that provides value and does it sustainably with care about the environment; I recognize that and support your business by being your customer and maybe investing in your company; you profit, I get the value, everyone benefits.

Now, speculative investment, information asymmetry, short-term gain seeking, etc. kind of ruin the idea.
What's your conclusion?
If you do that you're stuck with round trip times all the way down the dependency tree. HTTP/2 reduces the overhead of that, but doesn't eliminate it, so now you've added a bunch of loading time to your site.
It's a bad day for Western leaders.

I’m neutral on whether knowing how to compile from terminal is essential or not, but I disagree with this:

> Compiling code and setting up a proper coding environment is a solved problem that isn't worth the headspace of a young and aspiring programmer. In the modern day, you can open up the console on your browser and start writing and running code just like that.

Noone should get into writing more complex programs without understanding the basics of the tooling, and we at most only have a few auto-generators that will create a skeleton that can and will break with ever so slightly a change.

I'd certainly think so.
I almost did.
I initially learned Java on my own.
It's good to know at least one full programming language before diving into embedded programming, I think.

Then got into Arduino programming. There are tutorials for that online. Try communicating with other Chips like a Shift-Register, then something that uses a standard serial protocol (ex. I²C).

When you feel like you have a good grasp of the basics, I recommend getting a development board and doing the same there.

Most Microcontrollers (ARM Cortex Processors at least) are pretty similar:
You get a datasheet and a User's Manual.
The User's Manual describes a bunch memory addresses, which control the built-in peripherals.
There are excellent descriptions of what value will give you what result, but it can be a bit daunting to get your head around it at first.

I recommend a chip that has a so called "Board support Package". I have experience with LPCOPEN.
This will make things a bit easier, as you don't have to figure out each register address for each thing and can instead use functions like "Chip_TIMER_Enable(timer_t timer)".

There is a lot more to it, but once you get started, you usually always see the next step.
Whether a job is bad pretty much is exclusively dependent on whether or not you, your manager(s) and/or your coworkers have an adversarial relationship.
>> No one said it is exactly the same.

Right, but my point is that the degree of risk and probability of harm an individual places on others is the only logical basis by which to determine the degree to which society should restrict or coerce certain behaviors. If we proceed from the idea that individuals should have as much freedom as possible, then on the scale of things society should concern itself with viz the individual's behavior, spreading an airborne virus with a 1.5% mortality rate demands much harsher measures than even speeding or drunk driving. Whereas not wearing a seatbelt or a helmet doesn't even register on the same scale. That's why it does matter that one thing is a public health hazard and the other is a personal one. They are of such different degree that they are materially totally incomparable to one another.

I see this as the result of overall inequality.

Only the wealthy with nothing better to spend a marginal % of their capital on, the middle class (good income) indebting themselves up the balls, and speculators looking to profit from the prior two categories, are buying these things at these crazy prices.

Some poor folk might fall in to the speculator category, but they're taking huge personal risk on what they hope is a ticket to riches.

Same goes for Bitcoin imho

Freegan means avoiding the use of currency.

Living without the use of money, instead relying on barter, gift economy, and help from above.

I still use money for domains and hosting, which works out to about 20-30 bucks per month, on average. I also sometimes travel by train or bus for my FOSS project, which gets paid for by people who support me.

That's about it, I don't use money for shelter or food, with occasional minor exceptions, e.g. last month I bought a can of sweet carbonated beverage because I really really really wanted one...

Combined with meditation, optimistic outlook, minimal desires, I feel so much better off than when I was working six-figure tech jobs, I don't even know how to quantify it.
All important questions to figure out. Definitely not minimizing either of these two points.

I have a lot more thoughts about this and everything you wrote that comes together compellingly as a nascent business strategy, and I’m not exactly naive in this domain. My first real software job focused on medical billing and insurance complexities in one of Epic’s two accounts receivables applications, but that’s really only the beginning of it.

I've seen small to medium sized programming shops doing contract work on web sites or some unknown game company paying people between $25K to $30K a year, and working teams of them 60 hours a week... People with masters degrees in CS, actually making around $10 an hour, so they can have a programming job on their resume... far more evil than fast food, if you ask me.

It should be interesting to see what voice-sent messages will do to "driving while txting" charges/lawsuits.

I have an iPhone. I often send "Siri-texts" while driving ("Hey Siri, send a text to my wife, saying that I will be home in fifteen minutes.").

There's no way to tell, upon reviewing the conversation, whether or not the text was sent by hand, or by voice.
Really, you think GP just made this problem up?
Flipping this, in the C++ world, "garbage collection", is more than just freeing unused references. "Resource release is destruction"

Try-with-resources is ok, but not great.

Ultimately developers, especially those concerned with performance, prefer full control. And that means deterministic lifetime of memory and resources.
I have yet to write java byte code manually, but a high level understanding of them do make me a better developer in my opinion. It’s not about the number of times one uses it, but knowing about the underlying abstraction.
Yeah, when I read "concurrent logic programming language", I immediately thought of Prolog -> Erlang.
You can detect simple cases like require("some string literal") on top-level. Things become harder if you have require() in init functions or wrapped in (function(){})() or if the module name is defined in a string constant elsewhere.

I can't say how common those forms are, but my point is that there is nothing immediately discouraging a programmer from using them as all of it is "just javascript". So even if you just restrict yourself to static imports, its hard to be sure you caught all of them without running the program.
Both POV are myopic.

One wants to get things done to the exclusion of all else. Possibly trapping you into a corner if you need to ever scale.

And the other wants to “do it the right way from day one“. An undertaking that would cost more than a small business could ever hope to afford or slowing you down giving rivals time to catch up.
Here in the UK, the 6m up to July this year saw 15% more deaths from non-covid causes.

It would be easier to do that if proposals for things like standard library functionality (not the contents of the standard library itself, just the syntax and technicalities of using it) were to go anywhere in, say, under five years.

I hope those conclusions were along the lines of there’s no reason to obey a signal when it’s objectively obvious that it is safe to cross. That adults can use judgement on what is ok to do within a context.

Absolutely not. There's significant educational benefit in timely, corrective feedback, which an IDE with incremental compilation and a linter is perfect for.

Eclipse isn't a good IDE for teaching[0], but it's significantly better than the commandline and javac.

By introducing too many concepts, you water down the educational value and motivation to learn. Seeing output on the screen is exciting, don't get in the way of this.

javac doesn't provide value for beginners, it's a roadblock to a user seeing output on the screen. Take it out the way of new developers, maybe show it in a "commands executed" window to drive curiosity and introduce it properly in a later course, but only after a user feels comfortable with the basics of software development

[0] I don't think a good IDE for teaching exists currently. Customizing IntelliJ would be fantastic for this, and I'd love to see if someone's working on this.

I switched my printers over to Klipper and have been overjoyed with the change.

It’s a different style of firmware where all the gcode interpretation and motion calculations are done on the more powerful raspberry pi* and only the motion control pulse generation is done on the printer’s board.

You get very precise step control as a result and with no start-stop blobbing within a layer.

If you don’t want to go that far, look into max resolution settings in your slicer** to reduce tiny moves which might be overrunning the printer’s ability to process. Note that this is still useful with Klipper as well.

* I’m using zero-w Pi, which is still way more powerful than a printer board.

Array Cast recently had a wonderful episode on Roger Hui:

https://www.arraycast.com/episodes/episode13-roger-hui
The implementation of the Rust abstract machine - miri - stops execution of Rust programs when they exhibit undefined behavior.

C, C++, etc. don't even have implementations of their abstract machines. They don't have one existing as a goal. And they are happy to make certain operations exhibit undefined behavior even if that implies that it would make an implementation of the abstract machine that traps impossible.

This is why even if you were to combine valgrind with address sanitizer, memory sanitizer, thread sanitizer, undefined-behavior-sanitizer, and other existing C and C++ tools, there is still a lot of classes of undefined behavior that these tools can't detect.

That's fine in C and C++, but not fine in Rust. In Rust, if we add a new type of undefined behavior, the constraint is that it should be (demonstrably) possible to extend miri to detect it, such that if a user doesn't know whether some program exhibits undefined behavior for some inputs, they can just run it under miri, and miri will precisely pinpoint which part of their code exhibited undefined behavior and why, and how their program execution got there.
> It isn’t clear that the church actually objected that much, for all their statement to the contrary.

I disagree. Not only is it clear that they objected to his message, its clear from the Cardinal Archbishop’s own public message on the same issue two days before Moloney’s why they did.

> It isn’t like they defrocked him or anything.

Er, yeah, I mean no matter the severity of the disagreement, its not even the class of issue for which that is appropriate. It’s like saying DOJ must not really be upset at someone prosecuted for tax fraud because they didn’t seek the death penalty.

> It is more likely that MIT asked for him to be sacked and they took a decision not to fight over it because it wouldn’t be helpful.

It’s clearly the case that MIT brought Moloney’s message to the Archdiocese’s attention, and its pretty clear that the message stands in stark contrast to both the MIT President’s and the Cardinal Archbishop’s prior statements on the same issue. It’s not clear to me what even shadow of a basis you have for suggesting that MIT was upset but the Church viewed the chaplain as “entirely in line with how he was meant to act”.

I’d argue that projects that your employees want to do, but aren’t necessarily the most efficient thing, are incredibly important to do.

Sometimes it’s hard for a company to know what is the most efficient use of time and what will make the most profit.

Some of the projects I learned most from are because I thought it would be fun to do.
Sociality is not the only (and probably not an initial) driver of the evolution of intelligence in animals. Ecological and particularly foraging competency in less predictable environments is another and likely more primary stimulator for intelligence.

Coordinating complex movements is another one that appears to drive intelligence.

Vulnerability in a hostile environment. Together with foraging and coordinating complex movement plans, it is hypothesized that predation pressure when combined with the loss of their shell drove cephalopod intelligence. Trading defense for agility and int would also have provided a competitive advantage when competing for prey.
> and people can more or less transact as they please

Capitalism and free market are not the same thing. In capitalism, the labor is a commodity sold on a free market and significant amount of capital is privately owned. Either of these can be considered morally wrong even if we otherwise accept the premise of the free markets.

Can people transact "as they please" if huge chunks of economy are already owned by a very small minority? I don't think so. It seems to me (which is also pretty much basic Marx) that there is a contradiction between "transact as you please" and large scale private ownership.

> But my gripe with the current world is more that things don't cost what they cost

Yeah, economic externalities. But isn't that, again, the consequence of people "transacting as they please"? Some people will simply think in the short term. What time horizon is gonna win in pricing, if people "transact as they please"?
Architected correctly, there's minimal need for cross-shard foreign keys. A common use case is sharding by tenant/customer id, which means that all records for a single customer live on a single shard. That lets you have all the FKs that you want, and any operations for that customer happen on a single shard, which gives you maximum speed and transactional guarantees.

KDE Plasma is generally less resource-intensive than Gnome, and has been for a number of years since it was optimized for low-power devices such as the original Pinebook and PinePhone (essentially low-end ARM SBCs, RPi3-class, in different boxes). VM performance may not be representative there.

Not that it's not a very valid use case to perform well in VMs, but that can be down to specific details of emulated drivers, etc. For example in a VM without good 3D acceleration Plasma can be run in software emulation of OpenGL -or- directly via CPU-based 2D rendering, and the latter is a lot speedier.
> My country's government, like many others (including the US, I think?), blatantly lied about masks at the beginning, saying that they didn't work or were counterproductive for laypeople (...)

You should really revisit those claims because it's quite likely you got them all completely wrong.

I'm also living in a country where its government argued against mass adoption of surgical masks and gloves, but the argument was no way close to your claim.

The rationale was that this mass increase in demand for surgical masks and gloves would deplete the current stockpile and production capacity, thus leaving healthcare professionals and other frontline workers without access to basic protective equipment.

We're talking about a spike in demand that directly lead to the death of healthcare and frontline workers[1].

Consequently, we've saw multiple governments and health officials stating that the public should not go on a shopping binge for protective equipment to lower the pressure from the supply-side.

The same problem was also observed in a run for respirators.

In all these cases, once the production capacity was ramped up, governments naturally started providing incentives and even mandating their use.

> Speak for yourself; most phones I see still take 2+ seconds to open some apps.

Why is that though? I've written code since the 8 bit days of BBC micros and ZX Spectrums.

Casey Muratori's (who has been on here a lot lately) talk nails it [1] - developers just don't realise how fast their code could and should run. And the fact that we have layers upon layers of frameworks and no one cares.
