Formatting is hard to read, and too many details on specific technologies.

So the whole reason we have general purpose CPUs is because in the 50's/60's they were hulking giant beasts both in size and power consumption - computing was only economical on these devices if shared.

Things shrunk and now everyone has a computer in their pocket - which in most cases is a window to the next generation of hulking giant beast - the "cloud".

So if I'm going to develop applications for the cloud instead of PCs or mainframes, it's going to need to be general purpose--because it's shared and rented by the minute/CPU cycle. Just like the mainframes of old. So some notion of general-purposeness will always be there.

Maybe hardware will support and fossilize around programming languages? One can argue that x86 is doing that and is essentially an "SOC" for C.
It is impossible to “build IQ”, you have the IQ you were born with minus whatever brain damage you might have endured.
That doesn't fill me with confidence that it's definitively the boat's fault.

How many companies have you known who threw engineers under the bus when {insert same quote}?

While at the same time the de facto daily operation procedures throughout the entire company were to constantly ignore or skip those same safeguards?

I'm not saying it's not the crew's fault, but I am saying that a statement like that doesn't prove it's reasonably the crew's fault.

Ultimately though, it's leadership's decision who to place in command or particular roles, so it's their right to reassign or remove commands at whim.
I live in South Carolina as well, and I can confirm (I think you meant 2021 not 2020?). Most people in my city have been going about life as usual since ~ May if this year. Almost nobody wears masks. Everything is open. And guess what? We’re all good!

The sky isn’t falling. Hospitals aren’t being overrun. Life is good, and I can remember the last time I worried or had anxiety about Covid.

There seems to be a group of people who still believe we can ‘beat’ Covid. That somehow we make it go away, with endless restrictions. In reality, it is here to stay, and we will have to live with it for the rest of our lives.
This is my approach and it worked really well for a side(ish)-project. I liked having each endpoint be it's own file but also the code could share common 1st and 3rd party libs. I was also able to easily add some top-level checks/handling by adding a wrapper function that could handle certain types of errors and inject stuff like DataDog (though I will not be using them going forward, way too expensive, even with 0 traffic they were causing almost $75 worth of Cloudwatch requests a month, on top of their costs).
I know npm feels like wild west, but you can audit. Its quite a challenge to review many of the C, C++, libraries out there that are just a .zip file stored in a website.

My point is that: Npm is auditable, trackable.

I'm not challenging the bug itself, neither the security issue..
Yeah, as parent mentioned in another reply below, ritonavir is an antiviral, but has no effect on SARS-CoV-2 (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34048671/). Ritonavir is just used to inhibit CYP and therefore reducing clearance of the drug.

There is no doubt about vaccine efficacy. However it all depends. On your age, on your illnesses, on strains of virus. Who knows what you will get in 2 years.

So people who say that "pfft it is only 2% chance and only if you get" are just denying it.

You will get COVID. Hopefully you get it after a few years when there are not only vaccines but drugs widely available.
Great idea! Are you focusing on corporate clients? It sounds like you charge for the product but I couldn’t find your pricing.

Florida is essentially back to normal. Cashiers in most of the large grocery chains and ~50% of restaurant workers still wear masks, hit and miss in most other stores. Most people who come to the house don't wear them, for example, have had a contractor, electrician and cleaning crew at the house in the last week. Electrician wore a mask, no one else did. People are vaccinated who wanted it (I am), and optimally a booster will be freely available soon. Schools ended the mask requirement at least in my county a couple weeks ago.

Some businesses require their employees to all be vaccinated.
Governor appears to be fighting against that, would not be surprised if those same businesses just don't hire unvaccinated people going forward and the situation is resolved via attrition.

Ever heard of the Marshall plan that has aided the recovery of Western Europe? USSR did apply to participate in the US aid programme; however negotiations quickly fell apart after, due to vehement disagreements over the future of Germany. USSR has bailed shortly after (rightly or wrongly).

Yes, you should inform them.
I'm not an expert, but I think if a molecule is isolated, it is possible to determine whether or not it is a prion. IIRC, prions are basically misfolded protiens that cause other protiens to misfold, like a corrupted file that passes the corruption on to every copy or derived file until the system crashes. But you can examine them before systemic problems show up. And I believe a prion has to be a protien-like molecule. Again, not an expert.
The trick with English and French names is to move outside of Anglo-Saxon sounding monosyllables towards more Anglo-Norman names.

Henry (Henri), Michael (Michel), Oliver (Olivier), Julian (Jules), Anton (Antoine), Bernard (Benoit, ou seulment Bernard), Dominic (Dominique), Alexander (Alexandre), even William. The really French names, though, are going to be pretty rough if it's a dominantly English speaking enviro. It's rare to come across an English speaker named Guy or Guillame.
> They ALWAYS said they wished they had more time with their loved ones.

Yeah, but... doing what? Eating meals, playing board games, taking walks... I'm sure a lot of them would include time watching movies, plays, and TV with loved ones.

Playing video games with friends and siblings is some of my most cherished memories of childhood. I don't play much now, but it is a shared, interactive, exciting experience where you can discover and learn together.

Your interpretation of things doesn't sound judgmental, but it sounds like you don't understand that the entertainment is valuable for the same reason as a board game or a play -- it's a shared experience with a loved one. The details aren't important, and now the details are often that the games are digital.

One of the only reasons I'm still socially connected to many people is that I am on social media with them and also occasionally play games with them. High school reunions are meaningless these days because we already see all the people we want to see -- we just see them digitally.

I'd argue that the digital connections are hugely beneficial for exactly the death-bed stuff you're talking about, because digital connections have no geographical limitation.

You do realize the drone needs to be powered on and 'armed'/flying while tethered to their software that's running on an internet connected device for any location data to be available?
I wouldn't expect DJI to provide any kind of sensitive information about a drone's location to me simply because I sent a request through customer service..
If anything you would need a court order to compel any kind of information.
In this case I think it's a custom more honoured in the breach than the observance.

Those wanting to read about the drone, have to first learn to navigate this bizare and hostile UI.
Pfizer also made Celebrex, the anti-inflammatory that they knew caused health issues but they buried them and claimed it was safe.

https://corporatewatch.org/pfizer-six-scandals-to-remember/

1986: Pfizer had to withdraw an artificial heart valve from the market after defects led to it being implicated in over 300 deaths. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) withdrew its approval for the product in 1986 and Pfizer agreed to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation after multiple lawsuits were brought against it.

2003: Pfizer has long been condemned for profiteering from AIDS drugs. In 2003 for example, it walked away from a licencing deal for its Rescriptor drug that would have made it cheaper for poorer countries.

2011: Pfizer was forced to pay compensation to families of children killed in the controversial Trovan drug trial. During the worst meningitis epidemic seen in Africa, in 1996, Pfizer ran a trial in Nigeria their new drug Trovan. Five of the 100 children who took Trovan died and it caused liver damage, while it caused lifelong disabilities in those who survived. But another group of 100 children were given the conventional “gold standard” meningitis antibiotic as a “control” group for comparison. Six of them also tragically died because, the families said, Pfizer had given them less than the recommended level of the conventional antibiotic in order to make Trovan look more effective.

2012: Pfizer had to pay around $1billion to settle lawsuits claiming its Prempro drug caused breast cancer. Prempro was used in hormone replacement therapy, usually for women going through the menopause. The settlements came after six years of trials and hardship for the women affected.

2013: Pfizer paid out $273 million to settle over 2,000 cases in the US that accused its smoking treatment drug Chantix of provoking suicidal and homicidal thoughts, self harm and severe psychological disorders. Pfizer was also accused of improperly excluding patients with a history of depression or other mental disturbances from trials for the drug. Later, in 2017, a coroner in Australia ruled that the drug had contributed to a man’s suicide. The man’s mother campaigned to change the label on the drug.

2020: Pfizer reached an agreement with thousands of customers of its depo-testosterone drug in 2018 after they sued it for increasing the likelihood of numerous issues, including heart attacks.
Apparently the workaround has been to 'move' to Denmark for a couple of days, have your child named and registered in your new home country, and then move back to Iceland.
No one's safety is guaranteed in China, ever. They arbitrarily detain people. No one should be sending athletes there, if they value their safety or human rights.

mRNA treatment is now also called a vaccine. That type of treatment has never been used on the general population until c19 came along and testing standards were reduced. It is a very interesting type of new treatment, but we lack long term data to say it's truly safe.

Same can be said for any patented-molecule treatment. But that's just a new type of molecule, not a whole other type of treatment. Hence I'd say that molecule-drugs are less experimental than mRNA-vaccine jabs.
Exactly. In 1999, I just wanted to experiment. My first salary was like 500 bucks. The IT/software development world was boring. I remember telling my father, territory manager at IBM, that I would never be like him and he telling me that I should invest my time on Windows NT and Visual Basic because Linux would never get anywhere.. we were both totally wrong.
I appreciate you explaining that.. allow me to explain something to you.

The parent statement was not literal, making your expansion meaningless and honestly a little stunning.
My original point was along the lines of people not realizing there's a "bicyclist walking across the interstate at 3am" analog here.

No obvious indicators that happened, and we'll probably never know, but it is a possibility.

So "nothing that should happen to an experienced crew" is a pretty strong statement to make given the domain and known facts.
This is a great idea, and a welcome addition to the space. Fitness data standards are exceptionally poor and there's very little alignment between the major data collectors. This has resulted in the creation of a small army of syncing apps, developed to move data around between the most popular platforms, but as far as I know no ones attempted anything like this.

Having spent nearly a decade trying to extract data from the various walled gardens in the fitness space, I think something like this has really only been possible in the last few years as some of those walls have come down just a bit. That said, there are still some enormous hurdles to overcome. From the documentation it's not clear how OAuth is implemented. The authentication standards for many of these platforms are very diverse and often unfriendly in terms of the API agreements, rate limits, and various OAuth standards.

I'm assuming since it would be a violation of most API terms to pass data to a 3rd party, that the consumer of Terra must first acquire their own API key and then Terra uses that on their behalf? Although, if that's the case, OAuth implementations must be very tricky, especially for APIs like Garmin's which uses OAuth1a.

Nevertheless this can only be good news for the cause of open data. If it's successful, hopefully it'll create some pressure for these companies to expand their capabilities and relax their terms of service.
4G proxies are just soo much better than so called "residential" or straight datacenter proxies. It makes sense to create your own 4G proxy farm if you conduct business in that area.

With only 10 dongles and 10 dataplans, you can have a lot of IP addresses that are extremely hard to block. It's an one time investment, paying proxy providers is a fixed cost.
Actually: Yes.
> A healthy young person might have a 10x reduced risk

The risk doubles every 7 years so it's going to be ~18x between generations, and much greater beyond that. Those who are old and have existing co-morbidities are really pushing the difference as severity of disease is strongly correlated with number and severity of co-morbidities.

Edit: ~18x, not ~30x. It's late here, I can't calculate 2 to the power of 4 without a calculator until I sleep, wake up, and have a strong coffee.
That sounds awesome!

Thinking the same thing too. I find it a lot easier to read an HTML markup that a Wasp equivalent. Perhaps it's because I'm not a bard core dev, but reading all those {} is visually straining.
You should -- protease inhibitors inhibit replication, but existing viruses should be more than enough to generate a durable response in most individuals.

That doesn't seem all that narrow; 90% of the population goes through the public school system. (Side note: I'm in NY, and our vaccination mandate covers private/religious schools, too.)

Like the COVID vaccines, sweet.

> illnesses far more threatening to them than Covid

Missed the chickenpox one, did you? Killed ~100/year before the vaccines. COVID's killed 805 children in the US so far, per https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#demographics.
It sounds like you’re trying to blow up the job description to be more compelling than it is. Like you’re offering a grade “A” opportunity, when you should just come clean and say you’re a small shop with semi-experienced developers and management, a handful of clients, and you need help with UI work. You don’t have to say it like that, but your words should imply that.

Just be honest! If you really think the opportunity is as great as you make it sound, but you don’t list salary (which I’m guessing is below market) or benefits (which I’m guessing don’t exist), how are you going to behave when I get the job? Probably like you think I should feel lucky to work with you, when in reality, at best we’re both sort of in the same boat—you just have clients, and at worst, you’re lucky to work with me.
Maybe your news sources are a little biased.
I'm suggesting that sometimes a very small amount of a substance can cause catastrophic effects a decade later. That's why we do testing before we release drugs.

Everything I've seen says that isn't the case, that by about 50,000 miles you are in the black compared to an ICE.

I tend to agree with your second point though. If you are really serious about your environmental impact then bikes are the way to go.

Ask HN: Shared Hosting versus VPS?
There are many articles out there stating the differences between a VPS and a shared hosting package. I know the main differences, as in a VPS gives you more control of the server and the stack you would be using.

Say I wanted to host Wordpress on a VPS: What is the main advantage of doing that over, say, a $5.00/month subscription to a shared hosting provider who often have one click installs of Wordpress and you also don't have to harden that Wordpress instance (e.g Apache gets automatically updated on a shared hosting provider, among other things).

What would you go for personally. VPS or the shared hosting option?
Because it gives me more chances to learn how something works than a stable OS.
The people pushing it as a COVID treatment are usually pushing prolonged usage at higher doses – they routinely dismiss studies showing no benefits as not using enough – and the documented side effects definitely happen at those levels. The lower doses used for parasite treatments also are balanced against high efficacy, whereas this just means you still have COVID along with new problems.

Sorry about the link - it worked earlier when I tested it. You can try this one:

Apple M1(X) is a beast, but if it will be restricted to Mac OS then x86 is here to stay for a long time. There are a lot of cases where Mac OS is a no go and actual x86/x64 CPUs, thanks to competition, are quite good, maybe not as good as M1(X), but changing architecture nowadays requires a lot more reasons than years ago. Also, thanks to its integration you just can't upgrade M1 notebooks.
