The point is that if you aren't in agreement, then you can't be part of the group of people that say they are safe.

They have tried making MRNA shots for a long time with consistently negative results. Maybe they got it right this time, but still there is reason to be skeptical, as a "lay" person you have to trust the system that this shot was produced properly, tested properly, stored properly, and administered properly. Even if on a large scale there are low risks, something can go wrong on any one of those steps.

We also have never had a shot like this brought to market in such a short period of time. There is barely a year of data in the public, and that data is heavily politicized.
It's nearly impossible to ask an honest question as someone who may be worried for fear of being labeled a lunatic or a "walking bio-weapon" as someone said before in this very thread.

And then we see how much money a company like pfizer has made off of this, and their track-record in the past as well as the track record of many other pharmaceutical companies, and you have a recipe for people to be worried. Remember, public health looks at outcomes on a population level. If they push something and they think it will have a net benefit overall, they are not thinking about you and your own risk profile. You have to do that and unfortunately we're increasingly telling people that doesn't matter, that you must do what is right for the group and by-the-way, you can't possibly know what's right for you anyway.
I don't suggest doing this as a passive-aggressive attack, but I use a variant when presenting to a group that includes the "always negative" person. I suggest they do some work investigating and sharing alternatives to the things that "won't work" and they miraculously start focusing on viable solutions.

Thanks! So documenting consent can happen directly in the users' browser, this is also GDPR & ePrivacy compliant. Those legislations don't require server-side storage of consents, it's another myth propagated by CMP providers to sell subscriptions.

Storing consent server-side only makes sense for identified users (e.g. those that are logged in on your site) as there you actually have something that you can link the consent to. For an anonymous user that e.g. has a Google Analytics ID stored in the browser you'd have to store a link to that ID on the server-side as well in order to link it to the consent, and that is not privacy-friendly. Storing IP addresses also isn't a good idea as you're again creating more privacy risks for the user than necessary.

I have been thinking a lot lately about the point "such an attitude represents a tremendous degree of disrespect of our forepersons".

The other day I watched "Cargo" on Netflix, in which after a civilisational collapse, many indigenous Australians are depicted as going "back to the old ways". I found this quite problematic: it suggests that the pre-European way of life was so easy that a bunch of adults can just _start doing it again_. As if it's some natural animalistic habit you can just fall into, and not a set of skills and knowledge that evolved over millennia.

I guess it's possible we were supposed to read that these people's communities had passed down that knowledge and experience across the intervening centuries. Maybe they have.
This is pretty typical, if a woman writes up an account about what happened to her at her workplace there will be all kinds of characters trying to discredit her.

The golden rule is: unless you have evidence to the contrary at least give her the benefit of the doubt, the vast majority of these cases are bad enough without people trying to muddy the waters with a 'both sides' approach. No executive in their right mind commits career suicide by relating such an account if it isn't true, and someone who managed to climb to the top of an automaker can be assumed to be in their right mind.
I helped care for my mom somewhat last 2 years until she passed in March.

First of all fuck work. Your family comes first - you’re dealing with a once in a lifetime type situation and we only have our parents so long. If work or your boss isn’t OK with the level of flexibility and time off you need, they’re borderline monsters IMO. They should be willing to work with you and renegotiate your situation.

Also I’m really sorry. It’s a roller coaster ride of hope and you frankly don’t know where you’ll end up. It’s hard to know even week to week what kind of help you’ll need to give. One week may be normal and another all over the place.

ok finally some tips

Remote work - I worked from home and took full advantage of the flexibility. Up to working odd hours and napping when need be. My mom often was sitting in the hospital asleep for days. Really there would be nothing for me to do but work until she needed me.

Take family time - It’s sad to say, these times can be an opportunity. Be closer to your mom and family. Plan last minute trips as her treatment allows. Enjoy what you can from them. We have such great memories of my moms time with us towards the end with last minute house rentals where we just hung out.

Care for yourself - feel your emotions as much as you can. Journal. Exercise. Take mental health days. Do what you need to do to process. This includes coping with your feelings about mortality and death.

Get help - you can’t do it all. Seek support from other family members as much as possible.

Fulfillment in caring for those that need us - my mom felt awful being cared for by us. But I told her caring for someone with serious or terminal illness, while a lot of work, is a bit like caring for your child. You do it cause you want to and out of love. It’s fulfilling to give what you can of yourself to this person that’s given you so much. And we’ll all be there someday, it’s part of the circle of life. We will need our families support. We’re all interconnected and sometimes we’re strong and other times need lots of support.
You think Internet in Germany is bad? Wait until you enjoyed their 'service'. In 2018 it took Deutsche Telecom 5 (five!) weeks to install the line (big industrial city right smack in the middle), for which they sent out a service man, even though no work needed to be performed locally. They charged me for tv service, even though when ordering I explicitly stated that I had no need for that. Calling their support center to have the bill adjusted they told me, that they couldn't help me and that I needed to talk to the local branch which sold me the service. Naturally I wasn't quite happy with that and expressed as much, which earned me a call-back from one of their managers a few days later(!). The manager of the local branch refused to adhere to the earlier verbal agreement. And on and on, so much joy.
Anything can be a legitimate objection. At some point you have to just try something.
Ask HN: How do you best utilize inexperienced software engineers?
I fully get that a lot of less experienced software engineers are likely extremely smart and capable. So no offense intended.

Some of you may agree that some of the more subtle nuances of software architecture, structure and development take some time to get a handle on.

Given that, how do you best utilize inexperienced software engineers? How do you control architecture, structure and software quality without stifling individual creativeness or creating a perception of oppressiveness?

How do you guys pull off your magic as team leaders and managers?
Shorter version of my response to a different comment: CFS's approach builds on more mature theoretical foundations; it's basically ITER but with new magnets using technology that has arisen since ITER was conceived. It has a decently high probability of working, but will have practical/operational challenges that some more moonshot-y approaches would avoid (neutron damage to the reactor housing, having to breed tritium, complicated cooling systems, making electricity by boiling water). That's at one end of a spectrum, and as you move away from that, you get to things that involve more unknowns in terms of theory, but, were they to succeed, would avoid many of these challenges. Helion's proposed technology is towards the other, more moonshot-y end of that spectrum, using a less-well-established reactor design that's higher-risk/uncertainty, but should it work, would avoid tritium, wouldn't involve high neutron flux, and wouldn't require steam turbines.
It's become reflexive whenever people claim it stops transmission because all evidence for it is very very recent, while the claim of stopping transmission started to be used with authority as early as Feb 2021 with absolutely no evidence. Not even Pfizer's press release in 2020 tried to claim they even researched it, let alone had a conclusion, despite people nowadays claiming otherwise.

"information" itself is a fiction. The only question is to what degree can someone else control what you do or say? The "information" is "mine" in the sense that I should be able to use my brain and mouth as I see fit. Anything else is awfully invasive don't you think?

I think one of the key things that everyone fails to notice is that there are a whole host of tasks involved in creating and maintaining an operating system (particularly older versions) that will bore a seasoned developer. Hiring less experienced developers not only benefits less experienced developers, it benefits the more senior folks by allowing them to offload uninteresting tasks to those who will find them interesting, and learn from them.
I promise you the value add of WSL is nowhere near the value of a pure linux/unix system, especially for developers. This is just yet another iteration of Microsoft's embrace/extend/extinguish pipeline.

I’m curious why you think that? Generally if running costs are compared it’s with a laugh. I’m in a position to mentor young people with large amounts of disposable income who disproportionately spend it on cars (I was one of them once) and I’m about the only person I know who would give them actual running costs to consider.

Very few ever heeded me.

They are still an oligopoly that charges ~2% on every transaction for the grand cost of maintaining a bunch of servers, plus whatever liquidity risk they take on by ignoring all security standards introduced since the magstripe?

There are still occasionally projects which approach this relative scale today. When Boeing (temporarily) shut down 737 MAX production in early 2020 it was reported that this would reduce US GDP by between 0.3% and 0.6% (depending on the economist doing the calculation), for example.
Indeed. Interestingly on this topic, when the Nationalists withdrew from the mainland they took the contents of the Forbidden City with them (perhaps for the better considering what happened during the Cultural Revolution).

If the gossip was scaled up enough you might have laws created around it (actually some jurisdictions have anti-libel laws which is basically equivalent to gossip). We don't currently attempt to legislate decency because in most cases the system self-regulates, just like it used to do with the shopkeeper & fungus cream scenario mentioned in another comment. Then technology came along and increased the possibility of information sharing (and potential harm) by orders of magnitude, and once it's been determined that the system no longer self-regulated laws such as the GDPR were drafted.

I disagree. We don't know how many such packages run installation scripts without noticeably breaking.
agree it depends, and I haven't looked at Django for years - so can't comment on it.

However, I have been using FastAPI with Jinja2 & htmx to create web APIs and UIs for some of our services. Individually, they're great; collectively they're a joy. I'm no front end dev, but even I can put together functional, decent-looking apps in a few hundred lines of code. They bare comparison to angular apps that can easily be an order of magnitude more code.

What do you mean is big? How much % of your RAM will a Qt application take?

What I mean by well architected is that:

1 it respects the user choice so it tries to use the user themes, icons , fonts (it would do a even better job if Miscrosoft and Apple would contribute a bit when they change their designs)

2 it is efficient, it does not use some hacky stuff like you see in angular or react, where one click causes some data to change then a lot of code runs and check what changed where, then try see what other data needs to change then finally updates the DOM, which DOM is a super complex piece of software that is super easy to eat a lot of CPU with just a line of CSS or cause a lot of recalculations when you update one item.

3 Qt gives you a lot of widgets to build on top of, I remember it had a lot of APIs not only for GUI but also networking, desktop integration(like to use the native notifications)

4 I loved the fact Qt had it's own standard library, I know some c++ purists won't like that and the qmake , but we need to understand how many platforms Qt targeted and that the col new C++ features were not there on all this platforms when Qt4 was created (and even with Qt4 I think there was a way to upgrade from Qt3 so there was not a complete start from scratch).

I assume there are some smaller toolkits, there are some posted here but I think the smaller ones have only 20% of the features.

IMO the reason Qt is not used as much is because it uses C++ , for modern application I think developers prefer garbage collected languages and Qt (last time I checked) did not had mature bindings for this popular languages.

Sorry for the long comment, what would you use today if you need to make an application for someone, something simple like some buttons, menus and it does a bit of work maybe with some files or the internet), the goal is to be fast and have very few bugs that you will have to support by fixing them.
1 and -1 are units, which behave differently that primes. Gaussian Primes[0] make this more obvious, if you like reading math on wikipedia (I don't). In your positive & negative number multiplicative space (we get to ignore addition/subtraction when considering primality), negatives are just a reflection of the positives. Multiplying by -a is exactly the same as multiplying by positive a and multiplying by -1, and the -1 multiplication only reflects onto an otherwise identically-shaped number line. You can reflect any number of times, or do the identity transformation (multiply by 1) any number of times, and it's not changing the absolute value of the number you get. The number's magnitude is unchanging here, and the number's magnitude is also the only interesting part of the number with respect to being prime. So mathematicians just call 1 and -1 units, and ignore them for primes.

Many people think of Complex Numbers as vectors, and I think of negative numbers as vectors too. They have both magnitude and orientation, even if the orientation is only 1-dimensional. When you multiply complex numbers, the resulting "vector" has magnitude equal to the product of the magnitudes, and angle (from the positive x-axis) equal to the sum of the angles. So you can actually calculate these products without actually multiplying the numbers themselves, but instead only considering magnitude and angle (this only really matters with complex numbers). But the definition of a vector, that is has magnitude and direction, doesn't apply to 0. It doesn't have any direction, so it's technically not a vector. Adding angles doesn't make sense to something that just doesn't have angles. Zero is actually a mess when considering multiplication, and is generally excluded from the set of numbers you get to play with under multiplication. Another number you don't get to use for the same reason is infinity. A professor once told me an interesting insight, that zero is messed up in the same way that complex infinity is messed up. Neither has orientation, both have magnitudes that consume the other number when multiplying. And if you think about it, you could `s/0/infinity/g` in integer multiplication tables and they'd still work exactly the same.

It’s not tyrannical, unless the very existence of laws is tyranny. Law is the legislation of decency. Any other kind of law we call “unjust”.
I don't think that is a problem. The tech industry needs jobs filled. Tech companies have found (or at least believe) that much of their work doesn't require much knowledge. Most code doesn't require much knowledge to write. It's basic plumbing.

Also look at startups. Startup code is often garbage. But it's good enough to get clients and get investors. Most software is pretty mediocre, but the selection threshold is low to begin with for most of it, so it's good enough.

RedHat here is assuming no doubt that senior engineers aren't leaving fast enough to cause issues. You won't have a company staffed with just newbies. And if someone vacates a senior position, I presume that position would be filled with someone already at the company. They can always back off on this hiring policy.
