Somewhere in my library I have a copy of "Beneath Apple DOS" which was a detailed documentation of how Apple DOS wss structured, on-disk formats, etc. It has been awhile but I recall being impressed at how clean and reusable the DOS was. An excellent book if you have an interest in retrocomputing and it apoears to be available as a scanned PDF if you google a bit.

I love tiny apartments. In Tokyo houses are tiny but enough. You have to be clever when there is no space. Also, we should be more careful with the space we use for living. Smaller living spaces equals more space for park, forests etc
I use a 5 year old Linux distribution and I never update it except for important security patches. Works great. Nothing changes so nothing breaks. I ran into a problem once with trying to run some Go binary that wasn't actually static (pretty common apparently) but got it working in a Docker container.
If presence is all that is required during those 2 hours, there are some useful things you can do: Think. Make plans on paper. Study.
Any tech companies have binding arbitration clauses we all just hit ‘accept’ on the TOS that we need to know about?

If a person signs a contract that has a mandatory, binding arbitration agreement, he or she gives up the right to go to court.

On average literacy as to what astrology is in fact growing not shrinking. This is in particular due to social media and YouTubers who get into the nitty gritty details of birth time based astrology.

You don’t need to prove the causative relationship in many cases. Look at modern ML where “why does this model predict the outcome so well” is generally an open research question.
We're not rich, but we are maximally financially solid and stable. I mean, I drive a 2001 truck I bought new, for cash.
Better half drives a newish base Prius. House is not fancy.

How on earth can it make sense for us to get issued two $95/year CCs, as happened this year. I can use the 20% AirBnB bonus to cash in $1200, each card, as happened once. We're waiting on passports for the second. Edit: I've also cashed in points for 12 transatlantic flights over the last 15 years, on other CCs.

We haven't missed a CC payment in decades. I can cancel at any time. We don't have that many accounts to switch, might take an hour.

We're puzzled. But ok, we do it.

Edit2: Ok, after reading more comments, the profit from us would seem to come out of spend. Some more details then. We make net slightly less than 6 figures, and save 50% of that for retirement. House payment is $800, and nearly done. Travel is our vice, but we do eg a week in Paris for maybe $1500, and we do everything we want to. A big chunk of that is AirBnB, and... the CC typically pays that.

I'm not denying that the super solid big spenders aren't super profitable for the issuers. I am puzzled why we get issued the cards. I mean, 2 cards from the same vendor just splits the pie between the two accounts, and increases the spend zero.

My 8 best cups of coffee, ever
as I sipped the black gold that erupted from my Bialetti stovetop espresso maker, I began to ruminate—rather energetically in fact—on a lifetime of coffee drinking. The realization: Some of my happiest moments have come with a coffee cup in my hand. Here are the eight best cups I’ve ever had, in chronological order.

There is catch for antiviral drugs - like antibacterial drugs, they can lead to selection of resistant strains. Therefore, we can't just give it away to everyone without any control.

You > Your priors probably need updating as natural immunity as the OP describes appears to be much more robust, esp compared to the J&J after a year.

Me > Though I'd still look at the numbers to check if vaccines reduce infection rates and rate of spread.

Thankfully I said that already.

> Also vaccinated people spread delta, so everyone is getting it on some time scale.

That's not guaranteed, though. Just like not everyone on the planet will ever get all the strands of flu or cold or whatever. Through natural immunity + vaccinations at some point the disease can just die down and through a simple rotation you could avoid it (i.e. everyone else gets it at a time when you're not around so you're spared).

Plus the time scale is important. In November 2019 we didn't have any vaccines, now we have 4 that are approved on a wide scale (Pfizer, Moderna, J&J, AZ) plus a bunch of others with widespread usage but a less stellar reputation (Sputnik, the Chinese ones) plus another bunch coming soon <<and>> this very topic is about a drug for curing it. And another slightly less effective drug has also been approved recently, from Merck. That's... 24 months after the initial outbreak. Who knows what 24 more months will bring?

Doesn't this just come down to whether you consider there to be any philosophical difference between isomorphism and equality?
> But did the business need all of that functionality? Rewriting a subset of an application that is far more maintainable and cost effective in the long run can be a huge win.

It was needed enough that the rewrite (which was slow) had to delay release and the legacy software had to be kept alive well past its sunset date (and plenty of people jetted by then.) Because the business had to keep the lights on!

The missing functionality at least was said to be missed by the business folks who made use of it. "If only we had feature X" definitely was said.

There wasn't anything too beautiful about the Haskell. It was mostly systems work. But incrementally evolving and improving would've definitely be cheaper long term than a rewrite .. but it does require people to learn Haskell, which seems to be a nonstarter for many. If people don't wanna, they don't wanna.
Haha yeah, I just changed my HN username a couple weeks ago. Thanks for the reminder.
My criteria... good luck--many conflict with each other, and I don't really think this unicorn town exists.

English speaking

Very low population density (rural-er is better)

Inexpensive, reliable high speed internet for work

Low tax burden (state income tax + sales tax + property tax)

Affordable land + housing

Unpolluted air and water

Good schools and universities

Politically stable

Culturally moderate: not overly liberal or conservative

Legal gambling: nice to have :)

Things I don't care about:

Access to cities, music scene, art scene, any scene really

Sunshine/warm weather

Walkability

Neighborhood culture (I'd prefer to live far enough from my neighbors that I never see them)
So much this. It's all too real, and happening at an alarming pace. I've stopped counting the reports and interviews from doctors and medical workers who have bravely shared their stories and fears around this.
> because they're standard library constructs

Not only "std library" (which is only available when an OS is used), but also "core library" constructs. That one is available completely independent of the OS. Which means also in the current Rust for Linux project, or any other bare-metal platform.
Have we ever considered the idea that teachers are to blame for the disparity?

As long as I've been alive and even further back, teaching has been peoples' "backup". It's not attracting the best and brightest, and now it attracts all these angry woke virgins who deliberately want to force communism into their classes.

I think it might be time to figure out some hard questions for the union to answer
Are there other promising anxiolytics on the horizon? Even more basic, what are the best options available now?
That’s absolutely ridiculous. I would absolutely inform the hiring manager. It’s important to be polite/sympathetic since it’s probable the folk on the other hand don’t know exactly what happened and how you got ground between the process transition gears by being there at exactly the wrong time.

It’s also a good sign the company might be in disarray and every day might feel like that there.

Anyways, sorry, from the profession as a whole. A lot of us are doing the best we can (even these individuals might be), but hiring generally sucks at the lower levels and gets easier as you become more senior (that’s been my experience).

Good luck!
I feel like the parent wasn't referring to specifically your situation, but rather centre-left people rather than very-left people

There are already completed studies that show positive impact from psilocybin on anxiety.

The "start programing" courses tend to start with Pyhton, the "we train professionals" ones tend to start with Java or C#, and the academic ones vary between C, Python, Java or Haskell.

Senior developer is a very junior position. Any feelings of being too young are likely due to title creep, not actual inexperience.

We learned in March of this year that my wife has cancer. Chemo started, there were complications, surgery was performed and the tumor was excised. After the recovery from surgery chemo resumed and as of today there is one round left. Then comes radiation and more surgeries. I work from home, as many of us these days, and have continued working throughout, taking individual days of medical leave as needed.

I have to admit it's been difficult to focus on work. Much of the time I can't concentrate well and I'm not nearly as productive as I was. I would have taken more time off if we had single payer health care in the US. I did tell a few people at work so they would understand when I seem distracted or end up taking more frequent breaks throughout the day. My wife is putting in a lot of effort to stay as healthy as possible through this. She walks a mile or two every day. Sometimes a neighbor will walk with her, but often they aren't available and I do. I think what I'm trying to say is talk with a supervisor, or someone at work who notices what you do. Let them know how this is affecting you and that you will not be able to give 100% for the next little while. Best case they'll say do the best you can, and give you some slack. Worst case you end up looking for a better job. It's a good market to be looking.

Also, I think it's important to talk with someone about how you feel. There may be a social services department associated with the oncology department of your local hospital. I am currently attending a caregivers support group run by a social worker from the hospital. It's very helpful to be able to talk about my own emotions to someone who knows how to listen and with whom I feel free to express myself. If you can't do that the whole experience ends up much harder because you're trying to support someone else emotionally, while also shoving down your own upsets. I've been surprised at the support services there are for cancer patients and families. We even found a house cleaning service offering discounts to cancer patients.

It's a very difficult thing to endure. And chemo only gets worse as it goes. Line up some support now so you don't end up burned out or depressed as it drags on.

Edit: I just noticed I was assuming you live in the US, as I do. If you don't, and health care rules in your country are more rational and compassionate, some of this may not apply.
I wonder how many of us who've coauthored a patent ever genuinely read through the final version we signed. I did manage to get all the words to pass through my conscious awareness.
What does you mean by resilient? That's not really a specific term in virology.

I'm not saying that this is the only way to push back against such bullshit, or asserting that those who don't push back deserve what they get. I'm merely pointing out one avenue for fighting it that someone may want to explore.

It might be important enough for you, next rental. It might be important for someone with similar preferences [0] that has read your comment and will be on the lookout. I've rejected unconscionable leases wholesale and gotten simple boilerplate ones in their place. It can be done.

The more we openly discuss such bullshit, the fewer surprises can be sprung on renters late in the process. And sharing the wisdom of experience, for instance that it's totally acceptable to sit there and slowly read complex legal documents when the counterparty wants you to quickly sign (or even saying you have to take it home to review!) means more negotiating power for those still learning.

[0] Really, having a single day window to pay should be a concern to anybody. It sounds like an utterly shameless way of creating late fees.
That's why there are different kinds of people in the world. I wager there are lots of people like me on this site. If warm food regularly appeared at my door, I'd be happy never leaving my room and interacting with the world exclusively using my computer. I think it's useful to be aware that not everyone is a social butterfly who demands constant IRL interaction!
All of them can be legitimate. It's just that they almost never are.
No? If you place information publicly on a website it's pretty much free game, no copyright violation, especially regarding user generated information. That's my take, but legally it's a gray area and it's still going back and forth in the courts (at least in the US) but for a while before a decision was vacated by the supreme court scraping publicly available information on a site was legally protected and seemingly inline with my thoughts on it.
Right, the newer games will likely get updated. I wonder if they'll just drop DRM? I know a lot of AAA games have it to get sales during the window of first release.

I think I'm still just surprised how the 32-bit thing played out. Apple only sold 32-bit Intel processors in 2005-2006. Steam was ported to macOS in 2010--well after 64-bit was established. They started giving warnings in 2018 and dropped support in 2019. Just recently I was trying to figure out how to play vanilla Half Life 2 and ended up installing High Sierra because that was the best solution I had.
Indeed, as a Brazilian, it gets to my nerves reading those conspiracy theories about "how the media hid ${TREATMENT}'s effectiveness" or "there is no interest on using ${TREATMENT} because no money to be made! :c".

I seriously think those people are heartless. So many died because of those ineffective treatments and they keep advocating for them, with higher (and more dangerous) dosages while linking to random papers as if all of them are trustworthy (like a certain senator here). Worse, they consider those who use the right tool for the job (vaccines) the equivalent of religious nutjobs.

Most of their theories don't even make sense when you consider the wide picture: For example, even if the "evil big pharma" wasn't interested on cheap treatments, governments would have done anything to avoid lockdowns that heavily damaged their economies. It is a sick joke all the way down and a disgrace to all who died before a proper treatment was available.

I'm deadly sure that if they had lived through a collapse of public and private healthcare systems and/or had lost someone over it, they wouldn't be talking BS all the time.
Haha yes :) Sorry, the IHP website is hosted via https://ihpcloud.com/ (like Heroku but for IHP) and the system just crashed because of too much activity (unrelated to the HN traffic, mostly too many deployments at the same time). We're about to roll out a new more stable system in the next days that fixes the root cause of the downtime today.
Rejoice, for pfizermectin is now upon us. Did they at least test the study participants for natural immunity ahead of time?

In related news, Merck's molnupiravir has been approved in the UK as well.
we re already doing that with vaccines which are given to more people. Besides this does not stop the virus from transmitting, but it mitigates its harmful effect
I can try, in the most general sense. There are some specific technical tricks going on like the use of a JIT (Just In Time compiler) but mostly it comes back to this:

The Java program isn't doing anything that is literally impossible in C, but powerful abstractions can make it exponentially easier for everybody to do it in Java.

I can just about keep in my head how Quick Sort works. So, I figure I could write one, from scratch, in maybe a day or two in a language like C and have it work. But obviously I shouldn't do that, your standard C library comes with a perfectly nice fast sort. However, Java is supplied with an array of equally good features, and C is quite sparse on that front. You could program every one of those features in C, but, you probably didn't.

Memory management is an example like that, but spread through most programs. If you're meticulously allocating and freeing things in C, that takes time. Is it worth it? Maybe not but can you keep track well enough to do anything faster without just leaking unlimited memory? Java comes with a good Garbage Collector which can avoid all that explicit tracking you need to do, yet free all the same memory. Clever. You can do this in C, some people do, but it's hard, you probably don't do it.
"For CD [control diet], the source of carbohydrate included corn starch, sucrose and maltodextrin. In contrast, the HFCS-MFD contained HFCS as the primary source of carbohydrate at a level of 26% of the diet by weight. The HFCS-MFD also was comprised of 38.6% kcal from fat while the CD sourced 10.3% kcal from fat. The sole source of fat in the CD was soybean oil while the HFCS-MFD contained multiple sources of fat including palm oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, lard, beef tallow, and anhydrous milk fat in addition to soybean oil. Moreover, HFCS-MFD contained reduced levels of fiber and increased levels of sodium and cholesterol."

This is not a study about (only) the effects of HFCS. Everything observed could equally be blamed palm oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, lard, beef tallow, milk fat, fat in general, sodium, cholesterol, or lack of fiber. The only thing nothing can be blamed on is carbohydrates, including sucrose, because the control group received more of them. Oh, all all that in mice.

Frankly, I don't think anything can be learned from a study that varies so many variables at once.
An opt-out for legitimate interest makes no sense. You either need it for a purpose or you don't. A typical legitimate interest is fraud detection. Being able to opt-out of that would defeat the purpose.
Yes, impurity (or rather the representation thereof) is contagious. This is where the common "functional core, imperative shell" comes into play. You generally try to push side effects to the edge.

There are other approaches you can take too, like encoding your effects in a monad which has a different runtime representation in tests. It's like mocking on steroids with type safety.
My wife and I were trying to think of a middle name that my grandmother would approve of. We were heading back from Gatwick and hadn't come up with anything.

Sighing, my wife said, "We need a sign."

Just at that moment, we pulled into the London station, where a giant, 5 meter high sign announced "VICTORIA"...
I upgraded my Ubuntu distribution last week and my old Xerox Phaser laser printer stopped working over the network.

Something like this should never happen. I hate spending my weekends troubleshooting the Samba configuration. Maybe I will connect the printer to a Windows VM.
For most of the cases I use relaxed or have seen it being used, it seems to be a loss. It's often to e.g. increase some shared metric counters from multiple threads - where there's no real ordering concerns, and the only thing that matters is that it counts right and not when exactly he value gets visible. The cheapest possible atomic operation which can fulfill that use-case (relaxed) is fine there. Having to use `unsafe` for that doesn't seem too appealing.
> there's a substantial proportion of the population that actually believes it and spends a substantial amount of time obsessing over it.

Is this actually substantiated?
You have no idea of the packages you are installing. Like litterally, none, unless you use very narrow, pure-js ones. Nobody can grok the dependency tree of the top 50 popular packages. Asking for opt-out is the best way for nothing to happen.
More a discussion of technicalities than a technical discussion.

The contentious point is "has cleared its neighbouring region of ..."

But even the well-accepted "massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity", isn't well-defined there will always be inbetweeners. So planet is a word like other words to mean what people communicating agree it to mean and not a whole lot more. The 'not a star' is the technical part that can be scientifically categorized.

Where I am now, nearish to central Vancouver. I'd love to live in other places for some time for other reasons, but they're all cities in Europe with different ages and cultures. Smaller places are great to visit, but are boring and lack breadth of novelty. It takes me 4 mins to walk to the gym where I bump into people I'm gradually getting to know, then 2 mins to the next cafe where I might get to know someone, then 2 mins to groceries, 30 mins to the mountains, 2 hrs to whistler if I can get a car or bus.
I'm not familiar with Python, but if those are traditional enums and not sum types then you're missing out on a lot in terms of domain modelling.
