It is. But is not the only knowledge needed by a country. Or the most important knowledge.
You will run into mountains of issues with USA systems if you insist on using the è. You will fill out physical paperwork at the hospital. How will it be translated by the typists and OCR? Passport matching against the airline information. Will it match? School enrollment: will all the username systems be ready for the UTF-8 character?
What alternative to capitalism are you implying would be better? If you have a viable alternative, just do it yourself. (I’m not saying all by yourself, team up with others to make it happen.)

I’m not being sarcastic, I’m genuinely interested in what you believe would get us from here to a Startrek-like economic system.
Some friends and I dove into D & D during the pandemic. I have some improv and writing background (I’m an English teacher), so I took on the DM role. I honestly was not prepared for the depth of complexity and time investment to faithfully play the game. In the end, we stripped away entire parts of the rule book and made the game more role play focused; it’s not fun to be constantly referencing the rule book, but there was also a sense that we weren’t really playing D&D.
Your last point is interesting. When I switched from macOS to Linux, the tool is missed most was definitely Karabiner-Elements. I got nightmares from xkb & related tools.
They're apples and oranges, really. The best course of action to get a vaccine for the preventative effects and an antiviral if one has a breakthrough infection.
This is a strange additive error to make: proactive or reactive treatments for COVID-19 don't produce additive unknowns in the presence of a COVID-19 infection, since their entire purpose is to improve healthcare outcomes (whether by reducing infection severity or incidence altogether).
It’s not about what is interesting; it’s about what is productive. Kubernetes is interesting but I would not launch a project in it at a scale smaller than say 20M USD/year hosting costs because you’ll probably be able to make a higher quality project in a faster time if you use hosted/3rd party solutions

I don't know about Sweden, but it is the case in my native Poland.

In fact, I think it's much more common than full liberty in this regard.

As for the level of strictness - it's always a bit arbitrary, and there are no fool-proof guidelines, nor a predefined whitelist.

Generally speaking, however, the name cannot be ridiculous, humiliating, offensive, it must be in a full form (not affectionate) etc.

Among the rejected ones there have been "Rambo" and "Joint".

There were parents who tried "Wiedźmin" (Witcher), to no avail, but they succeeded eventually with a compromise, a slightly altered "Wiedzimin". Not a real name, but kinda sounds like it might be (sort of similar to Lithuanian Giedymin), and by itself not a popculture reference, which apparently was what the office considered frivolous/inappropriate.
There goes my weekend! Thanks :)

Interesting. From a quick google search:
Pfizer brands include Advil, Bextra, Celebrex, Diflucan, Lyrica, Robitussin and Viagra

The long term risks for either is not knowable.

Hospitalisation is an acute scenario that can lead to death, negating any concerns about the long-term in the first place. The short term risk of hospitalisation in the unvaccinated versus the vaccinated is well-known. Given what we know, it still makes sense to get vaccinated, and it may make sense for those at risk of hospitalisation (vaccinated or otherwise) to take an antiviral proven to cut the risk of hospitalisation.
The reference Python interpreter is implemented in C, does that invalidate the common sense observation that python is dynamic while C is static ? What counts is the default zero-effort mode. Sliding into "All languages are turing complete so all distinctions are meaningless" territory is very rarely helpful for conversations.

Sure C++ offers you both stack and heap allocations, virtual and ordinary methods, static types and std::any for values of unknown/irrelevant runtime type. But the default zero-effort thing to do is to use statically-typed stack-allocated objects with non-virtual methods. Java only offers two of these things and one of them needs to be explicitly stated upfront. And, furthermore, Java's runtime still maintains the full machinery needed to do dynamic typing and dynamic method dispatch (the final modifier on methods is purely a promise to javac, the JVM has no concept of a method call that doesn't involve looking up the class it refers to and potentially all of its superclasses), it doesn't matter that you don't use it, your calling code or called code might, and the specification says that it can.

C++ objects compile to dumb bit buckets that contain exactly what's asked of them and nothing more. No matter what you do, you can never have all class types in C++ share a common ancestor, and the ones you can will know nothing about their parents unless specifically asked to with 'virtual', they can only remember this when allocated on the heap.
Are you suggesting that every new molecule should be treated as if it were a prion?
No you don't, you just need to get better at selling yourself and negotiating. Most devs are terrible at negotiating and putting themselves forward.

Oh thought that was some id name for ritonavir. Seems you are right:

> PF-07321332 is designed to block the activity of the SARS-CoV-2-3CL protease, an enzyme that the coronavirus needs to replicate. Co-administration with a low dose of ritonavir helps slow the metabolism, or breakdown, of PF-07321332 in order for it to remain active in the body for longer periods of time at higher concentrations to help combat the virus.

So the main job is done by PF-07321332 even, while ritonavir is only there to keep PF-07321332 a bit longer from being destroyed by the body.
I'm not sure what the OP is getting at, because you're right, they indicate stud centers for 16" on-center.

He might be talking about the 3-4-5 trick (pythagorean triples). But the only place I can think of where that is really useful (roofing) has other, better, tricks for figuring out lengths of hypotenuses.

This appears to be more or less a straight up copy-paste from AWS documentation (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/operatorguide/anti...). I'm glad to see the HN discussion because I was literally looking at those docs yesterday. Less glad about personal blogs "lifting and shifting" content and passing it off as their own.
If you're interested, I'd recommend checking out the Arch wiki - imo it's one of the most comprehensive repositories of Linux info out there and pretty easy to follow. Even other distros use and link to it since it's very general and has a huge scope. Great reference for power users and starting point for beginners.
I was visiting it 2010 and it had many empty houses. I even read the Deutsche Bahn wanted to cut them off from long-distance trains.

Today it's the new hip location to live at, like Berlin. People are gentrifying it in swarms.

It's a pretty nice place and compared to the rest of east Germany pretty leftist. But, yeah, when you leave the city there is nothing much.
I know npm feels like wild west, but you can audit. Its quite a challenge to review imany 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..
It’s way better than it was before (though not 2004, I used Linux for a long time and even ~ 2012 BT audio was finicky), but it’s not as plug and play an experience as on windows and macOS. For example, see this issue where BT headphones drop to extremely bad audio when you want to also use the inbuilt mic: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/616973/use-high-qua...

The solution to this is basically to remove pulse and install pipe wire, which is definitely not the default on most distros and not something you can do without technical skills and the time to manage the setup.
I'm right there with you. I'm the lead engineer for an automotive SaaS provider (with ~6000 customers and ~4 billion requests per month) and we recently started moving all our services to Cloudflare's WAF to take advantage of their bot protection. We were getting scrapes from botnets in the 100000+ per minute range that was affecting performance.

We chose to switch to the JS challenge screen as it requires no human interaction. We now block 75% (estimated to the best of our knowledge) of bot traffic but some customers are livid over the challenge screen.

In my nearest town (in the UK) there are two supermarkets. In the budget one (Aldi) nobody wears a mask, in the upmarket one (Waitrose) everybody does.
The comparison to mandates for children to receive well-tested and -understood vaccines, against illnesses far more threatening to them than Covid, for the narrow purpose of attending public school, is so dishonest as to be a form of gaslighting.

FWIW I believe Florida is in the process of relaxing mandates for some of the other required vaccinations -- certainly there is now political hay to be made from doing so because the concept has been so poisoned by the Covid vaccine mandaters.
Most states won't even allow you to give you child a name with a diacritical mark.

Ding ding ding.

I've loved this book since reading it, but it basically boils down to practices you can only use in applications no one is paying attention to (i.e. I slip calmer patterns into POCs all the time).

The nasty practices are used because they make money, and money pays the rent.

One day, maybe, humans will work out the kinks of socialism and calm tech alike.
I would have worried about that much more 5 years ago. Now the best CPU+GPU option for Linux is arguably already AMD. The performance is better and AMD open-source drivers have improved quite a bit. Even the closed-source Nvidia drivers are finally getting the needed bits for proper Wayland support and there are people writing Linux drivers for Apple's GPU in the M1. Intel graphics were definitely great for Linux for a long time but options are actually improving for a change.

Well, this is what the investment is for.
In the larger IRC channels you'll have a half dozen conversations going on at the same time simultaneously basically 24/7. I know of no other chat program that makes that even remotely workable, while in IRC it's near effortless.

I feel like that's why you often see discord servers with so many channels. If you don't split up your discord like that it becomes unmanageable to have conversations, While IRC is fine with fewer much larger channels.
1. If you list boxes you don't have to tick, you are automatically discriminating against women. Men are more likely to apply missing skills than women.

2. TLDR.

3. I want to be told why I should spend 15-30m with your recruiter to talk to you for 45m to then do 3-4h of interviews. If your pitch isn't strong enough... screw it. I have better things to do. Remember, we all know what engineer's time is worth. I value my personal time at the same hourly value. So, you are asking me for $20-50 for a 15m call. Your opportunity better be worth it.
He’s vaccinated, so it seems a little dramatic to be calling OP a bad person and that they suck.
Data shows that being vaccinated divides your odds of dying and being hospitalized from covid by about 10. There's no evidence I'm aware of showing that the vaccines create additional risk anywhere close to outweighing that benefit.
It’s actually not a problem. These modern CPUs will boost to high frequencies in the short-term and use quick thermal feedback loops to avoid damage.

The thermal feedback loops are so good that you can even put something like an AMD 5950X into a small case with low airflow and it will automatically adjust the clock rate down to a level it can sustain under load.

Lower temperatures will allow for higher frequencies for longer periods, though, so cooler is better. The potential for damage from excessive temperatures has been greatly exaggerated, though. Unless you’re planning to run the CPU at full load for a decade, it doesn’t really matter. A couple hours of gaming every day (which won’t produce temperatures seen in these synthetic 100% load benchmarks) is basically negligible.

For some perspective: Laptop CPUs routinely hit 90-100C because the fan curves are tuned for quietness. Those CPUs are built on the same processes. Some newer parts like the RAM on RTX3080 and RTX3090 have even higher thermal limits up to 110C. It’s not a big deal.
Samsung agrees to share confidential semiconductor data with the USA
You trust the manufacturer and their supply chain on the value of their marketing efforts. That’s OK.
Those statistics say nothing about the chances of going to hospital if you are vaccinated.

Currently, the deaths-per-100k of the unvaccinated vs vaccinated population is twelve times higher.

My understanding is that fusion power theoretically has net positive output, but practically no one has achieved this yet. If they are able to achieve such it would be a scientific and commercial breakthrough.
Sure but it’s easier to just say China. Everybody knows we mean the awful government not the people. Chinese people are great, and most of the reason the CCP is so evil is because we’re empathetic to the horrible way they treat their citizens.
Would the cost of the drone be enough to get you to travel to Tunisia? I don't see the desired outcome here.
I think this is part of the attraction of text-mode user interfaces, as well. Such as vi/nano etc. Or even 'top' and related programs.

It 'requires the smallest possible amount of attention' for the task of editing or writing words, or watching CPU and other information about the state of your system.
On any sane ML-style language, it would be this:

But I guess it isn't the case here, because that code doesn't make sense.
That's a good way of going about dealing with this kind of abuse indeed. Wish I'd thought of doing that at the time, but due to the nature of this shop you didn't need a user account to browse the products/prices.

I'm now making an entirely new shop for them - I shall bear this in mind. Thanks for that!
You need customers before you can make money. It makes sense to me that you first create a user base before you try to upsell them. If the goal is to create a user base, the fewer hurdles the better.

I don’t see it as having to do with entitlement, more as a case of it being easier to standout in a crowd of options when your thing is easier to start with.
I do pretty much exactly this but with a different app (now Obsidian, previously Roam, Workflowy). Going on about 4 years with something like this system. This is mostly for work and side projects, personal stuff just goes on an index card that I rotate out when it fills up, doing the same rewriting for anything that didn’t get done.
Wow. Loads virtually instantly. No whitespace. No video auto-playing with intrusively loud audio. No annoying bright colors. No buttons moving around while the page loads. Seriously.
Nice, and congrats.

I was actually in the process of writing an app when we were expecting, so I downloaded the US Census CSV of names to import, and when I perused the file I saw a couple names I liked, asked my wife, and we picked one before I ever had to write any code!
> but atomic reads can technically be optimised out (though it might not currently be done by most compilers).

The memory model should explicitly forbid this optimization, especially if you use an explicit memory ordering with your loads and stores. I'm not 100% sure what the default (sequential consistency) does in this case.

And if you do `read(); barrier(); read(); barrier();` like you should on most CPU architectures, the compiler definitely is not allowed to reorder the reads (barriers affect the compiler AND the CPU). Which barrier you need depends on the MMIO semantics and CPU architecture you're on. Adding volatile does not change this but may inhibit other, useful optimization.

In your example of `volatile_read(); volatile_read()`, the compiler is not allowed to optimize or reorder the loads but the CPU is still allowed to reorder them with each other or other instructions. Adding `volatile` does not make this example work.
People think 0.5% is low, but e.g. JFK airport has about 500 takeoffs a day, if on average every day 2 or 3 planes that flew out of JFK crashed, how would they feel about air travel?

Oh, a fellow fan of transparency logs!

I'd love to hear what you think about a log a few colleagues and I have designed. We've tried to get to the essence of transparency logging. It's a minimalistic design, and it doesn't require trusting the log operator.

The "proper" lid close gave us the image of engineers walking around the office with the screen slightly propped open to keep their Macs from going to sleep.

Yeah I know that there are ways around it but apparently it was too much to figure out for most.
Then what is the meaning of "have built a generator that produces electricity" other than meaningless hype?

Edit: fix quote
> What's wrong with your process that you need more than three steps?

Thank you. This needs to be said louder, and repeated more.

A phone screen, a tech screen, and a brief in-person interview is enough to hire someone.

If your interview process requires someone already working to take a whole day off of work, then you aren't going to get the top-tier candidates you say you want.

The sad truth is that lots of companies claiming on paper to be "hiring" aren't actually trying to hire anyone. The job opening either exists to satisfy some corporate compliance checklist, or to convince some executive-level person demanding higher productivity that they're "working on it".
It is cool to see Intel reclaim the performance crown with an innovative new architecture. After years of stagnation at the high-end, the intensified competition between Intel and AMD is a big win for the customer in terms of both performance and price.

However, I do wonder whether they are going for the wrong thing. They are not competing against AMD's Zen 3 desktops at anything but the very high end, and their power consumption numbers are pretty insanely high. In both the laptop and server market, the thing that matters most is performance per watt rather than performance per dollar, and they aren't ahead in that metric.

My sense is that Apple's M1 and other ARM-based designs are getting to the point where they are "good enough" for the vast majority of use cases, even if they are insufficient for a few high-end applications. This is classic disruptive innovation, and we are seeing it reach its logical conclusion. It's kind of interesting that Alder Lake's dominance is due to them adopting something very similar to ARM's big.LITTLE

A lot of the features being suggested below, such as origins, spellings, saving names, etc, are available on https://babynames.com/. However, they only have the site and not an app.

Not trying to detract from the project. I was just curious if there was something that covered these that was already out there
It was a stroke of genius for the powers that be to convince people that they have a personal responsibility to restore/protect a health infrastructure that has been looted out, and structured if not designed to act in a predatory manner. They created new emergency powers and a new moral imperative to avoid contagious respiratory disease out of whole cloth. "Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires!"
I was scrolling through your app, looking at the names, and I was like “this is cool, but a popularity graph would be cooler.” Then I started wondering why some names were blue or red, so I tapped one, and it brought up a popularity graph.

Well done. You’ve officially made a baby name app that doesn’t suck. Quite the opposite — haha, I just noticed there’s a dark mode too. Ok, between the custom dark mode and the hilarious name, this is the best damn baby name app on the planet.

Thank you!

Oh yeah, congrats on the kiddo. :)

I'm reasonably certain that didn't involve kidnapping at all.
I believe that forensics of major attacks does show that usually the bad guys have been in the network for weeks before triggering the ransomware, and it rarely happens on the same day as the initial attack. The expectation is that they will first spend the time and effort to look at your network to find out your backup process, and do/wait as much as is necessary to circumvent, disable or destroy your backups if it can be easily done.
It's such a shame, I really like building Linux systems utilizing the Intel iGPUs.
You’re applying it over-liberally. That school of thought is to apply accessibility features that maximize accessibility for /everyone/ - eg, automatic door openers.

Features that improve accessibility for a subpopulation while decreasing it for the broader population are /not/ part of that thesis.

The topic of dyslexia friendly fonts falls somewhere in between. Some fonts are considered friendlier than others and are fine for the general population (verdana), others are friendlier to dyslexics but hideous to the general population (open dyslexia). I call it a gray area because they’re ugly, and do not improve readability for the general population, but not overtly inaccessible to the general population.
