So that link you sent says there is 12.6 instances per million doses. So that is 0.00126% chance of happening. This article from March mentions around 22 per 100,000 chance from getting COVID. Much larger incidence rate.

Now obviously might not be the same age ranges or such, but I do know last year the Big-10 almost cancelled it's football season due to myocarditis risk from COVID so clearly it has been an issue for a while. Might need to weigh that in the decision you make for your children. Too many people look for one side and use that to prove their point otherwise know as confirmation bias. I would study the incidence of both sides of this before making the decision. Although my children are less than 5 so they can't get it yet anyway.
They do for regular users who use typical end user apps it doesn't just work for devs.

Apple is not designing OS for devs their vast majority of users are not devs or even professionals these days, while macs can be used for development with some wrangling to get a POSIX like environment without too much performance loss, it is not linux. Docker will run in a VM and be slower and some basic stuff like procfs would be completely missing , most of their gnu utils are from late 80s GPL being the reason.

I am also moving back to apple largely because of the m1x performance and battery. Hope Asahi becomes very stable soon on M1
AFAIK the non-s model has two DIMM slots, where the s models have only one. The "incompatibility" comes from not matching the soldered stick so you can have dual-channel memory, which is pretty hit-or-miss.
Externalities are actually starting to get baked in (depending on jurisdiction) or are essentially getting mandated in by policy (i.e. no coal in-state via political process). For most of North America coal isn't financially viable unless it gets political beneficial treatment - its been losing to natural gas for awhile now.

To be fair to your comment though air pollution relating to climate warming has been treated as a tragedy of the commons problem for ever.

Ultimately, any code inside an npm package needs to be run by default in the context of a sandbox, such as vm2 or SES. That way a developer would have to opt in to granting permissions for a package to run executable code.

Does anybody know why reader mode does not work on this page? It is pretty much unreadable otherwise.
“ Girls are more likely to have thoughts but less likely to act, pretty well known, so maybe it doesn't make sense to treat thoughts as seriously for them but this model makes it the same.”

I don’t see any sources to back up your claim, so here is some food for thought that says otherwise:
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7024e1.htm

“ During February 21–March 20, 2021, suspected suicide attempt ED visits were 50.6% higher among girls aged 12–17 years than during the same period in 2019; among boys aged 12–17 years, suspected suicide attempt ED visits increased 3.7%.”

So girls are actually acting on it at an alarmingly higher rate than boys (up ~50% from last year due to the pandemic).

Some of these games are AAA games released less than a year ago. I'm pretty sure they will be fixed.

Also Denuvo seems to get the most use from higher budget games, which gives some hope that the game studios have the resources to fix it. I think they will want to be able to get the long tail of sales that comes from steam sales etc.

In contrast the macOS game market is (and even more so at the time) a lot smaller, the 32-bit switch mostly impacted older (at the time) games and impacted everyone equally.

But this method already relies on survey answers, so it's not helpful in this regard.
Wikipedia suggests they first tried it on a lethal cat coronavirus. And the enzyme it inhibits, 3CL, is found in all coronaviriae. So one suspects this works against most coronaviruses.
Experimental Pfizer Pill Prevents Covid Hospitalizations and Deaths
Sure, and Node gives you the process.argv array. The point is having higher level APIs than that.
I think you meant to write certainty.
Here's a couple simple examples:

- Boolean yes/no qualification by a manager at 2 years of tenure compared to a boolean yes/no qualification upon performing the interview task (yes, they showed skills that relate to deployment)

- Performance review ratings over time (I would assume those cover "team interaction" and "declared reponsibility")

- Length of tenure ("lasted more than 6 months", ..., "lasted more than 5 years", "quit themselves"...).

...

None of these are perfect, but they are pretty unambiguous even if sometimes subjective.

As long as you measure while fully understanding that you're unlikely to achieve statistical significance soon, you can still measure stuff! And while you should not take trends that show up as gospel, they could still influence your interviewing.

Or, you could simply decide not to measure anything since you'll never get perfect results. But at least don't put your opinion out as fact, at least not in a thread about measuring stuff.
I'm not so certain. People who for whatever irrational reason don't want an mRNA vaccine can take a viral vector vaccine. Yet they don't.
I hope you are playing devil's advocate and don't mean this seriously.

1. When you enter it into a computer, everything changes. The scale with which data can be stored, distributed and aggregated is just staggeringly more huge.

2. People don't like ads, except for a few weirdos. Ads are not a service in the interest of the consumer.

3. Knowing someone personally is fine, but passing on that knowledge without their consent, or at least knowing for certain that it is in their interest, is a no-no.

And that's only the three most egregious things you get wrong.
That's doesn't seem to be an accurate description of this thread. Maybe look again?

Yes. This is so important.

Go on the internet, figure out who/which place near you is the predominant expert on that specific cancer and go there with your family member for a second opinion.

I am based in Europe and do not have US numbers, but you can look at statistics and see that the treatment success at hospitals focussed on cancer treatment is noticeably higher than at general hospitals who treat cancer amongst other cases. Regardless how long that trip takes or how complex the logistics are, it's worth doing.

All the best to OP and OP's family. The treatment takes a while and takes a lot out of people. It's going to take time to recover. Take that time, it's important.
That post really resonated with me. I attempted making my own ESP32-based remote for controlling my media centre while I'm in my kitchen, or generally away from my laptop.

The nature of embedded with interrupts (e.g. from buttons) and trying to mix in MQTT events and nice multi-layered UI made me completely question my programming abilities.

I really wanted to have modals/pop-ups (e.g. to show current volume on change) and it ended up so messy. Not only it is about control flow but about memory too (as the author mentioned). I couldn't just store a stack of "screens" to fall back to.

It seems promising to solve many of the common issues that you get, once you move from simple static information display.
Is this only the case in the US, or also in other countries? I live in Netherland, and haven't seen anything like those neverending interviews. Then again, I work as freelancer[0], and most projects just take one or two interviews, and they're mostly about what the project is about and what kind of developer I am.

[0] Except for the past year, when I took a pay cut to continue working on a project I loved as an employee after starting that project as freelancer. That didn't really require an interview, just stiff negotiations (which got me nowhere, hence the pay cut).
A lot of landlords would absolutely prefer someone who pays long in advance. If I were you I would've given these guys the middle finger and found a better landlord.
That's quite bullish. If it is an 80% probability of success I'd write a check myself if I could get in on the deal.

Non-tech solution is to pin versions and read (hacker)news before updating.
LXQt is my favorite DE to put on a Raspberry Pi. It's fast and light on resources.

The only problem is that the version included in RPi OS is terribly old, and I haven't found a convenient way of getting the bleeding edge version onto it.
The issuing banks have teams of people who are very smart, have extremely accurate data down to the individual transaction, access to the computers to crunch that data appropriately, and spend their (working) lives on this topic. You are a dude doing this in their spare time as a hobby, with access only to your own set of data and not even the full set of that (e.g. you don't see the interchange fees etc.)

I suspect that the bank is winning much more than you think on your business, even if you are getting a good reward. They are getting other people to pay them even more than they are paying you.

Maximizing credit card reward can be a hobby that leads to minor ROI- like investing in individual stocks it might be lucrative and if you enjoy it more than golf definitely pursue it. But don't think you are fleecing Bank of America or Chase or whomever.
I took the chart from the website you picked.

Here’s a full comparison between M1 Max and the 1950x: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/10837819?baseli...

The M1 Max is ahead by leaps and bounds on many tests despite the synthetic score being close. And these only tell half the story. In all the reviews I’ve seen so far, it consistently beats the iMac Pro by up to 2x-4x in real word tasks. Mind you, the original M1 chip already beat many high-end desktops, so this is not surprising at all.

Even if the cpu was that cheap: $600 cpu + $200 mobo + $100 ram + $100 ssd + $50 power supply + $600 rtx 2060

That’s the best machine you can put together with ~$1500 and it will be absolutely smoked by the M1 Pro/Max. Then you can try to find a mini-led 4k 120hz monitor, peripherals, mic and speakers, all for < $1000 (hint: impossible)… and still not be able to run on batteries or pack it in a bag.
Maybe seed it with the user's genealogy?
The way big tech does it is hire top engineers at like 500k a year, and then have them watch every CR from a team of like ten junior engineers. The model scales well, you just need a top knotch lead who is relentless about quality
Would you hire talent on web3?
If talent had verifiable skills/employment history/work history AND it'd reduce the time to hire, would you hire on web3 over web2? If you could note what industry you're in and what types of roles you'd be open to hiring/have had issues hiring, that'd be AMAZING.
It definitely is. It's a cliché, threadbare topic about which people adamantly repeat platitudes they settled on long ago.
only if you can trust the source and destination, which, from the point of view of the ad server, is not the case hence the uphill battle of ad fraud.

this is the value add of closed platforms. though not perfect, they have the most reliable ads. amazon, google, facebook, netflix, pinterest, tv. any fraud just makes these platforms more money so what's the incentive? maybe there are some edge cases with revenue sharing models. the fraud that i can think of on these platfroms is the extent that the quality of platform is misrepresented [1].

I wish this existed the first time I came across orca. Awesome stuff, thanks for making it.
(All that said, embedded systems sometimes don't have virtual memory, so the original problem stated in the link is just not a thing...)

> working from a fixed-size pool or arena created in code (possibly itself carved out of RAM with malloc(), but importantly only once at first setup, where you have a better guarantee that the allocation will succeed)

And I should add to this that you probably want to access all of the pool/arena to do setup, or just ensure it's physically allocated if you are running in a virtual memory space. This is something that is reasonable at setup time, though.
Sure it is. You can easily create your own root CA and have others trust it.

I don't really understand the complaint because you literally can attest to your own trustworthiness through your own cert.

Having others trust you is a taller order. Obviously that isn't automatic.
The IAB is the fox guarding the henhouse. It always was a paper thin figleaf and you're a hero for doing your part to expose that.
Hey Patrick,

Thanks for this. I'm earlier in my career but very interested in fintech, so as i explore where i want to go, your writing has been immensely helpful and informative!

I am particularly fascinated at the moment by the world of differences in how finances work for people vs businesses. (eg. People typically pay taxes in income, but businesses pay taxes on profit. That leads to differences in how money is made/spent between those groups.)

I guess one suggestion i have for your newsletter is in how credit is given to businesses - humans (at least in US) have fairly well understood credit scores. Its well documented how credit card companies, consumer loans, mortgages evaluate individual credit from those scores, but how does a business acquire credit to for short term spending (corp cards), what about to make big CapEx purchases like buildings, maybe even for financial funds and speculative transactions? How are those businesses evaluated, underwritten, etc? What about banks borrowing from other banks?
Hi, poster here!

I wrote this post when I was super salty about the situation. Obviously I found gainful employment but that still is the worst interview experience I ever had.

I'm forever nervous with coding challenges, I'm definitely not super confident with anything I write in less than 30 minutes to never see again.
Don't leave us hanging. The "obvious" answer would seem to be "yes" because of swap. But if everyone gets that wrong...
Looking at the images reminds me of when I started fixing cars. The more I learned about the nitty gritty, the more I wondered how it ever held together and worked. It was a worry.
Bad example.
You are not memorizing one customer but millions, you don't note one favorite purchase but all, you don't tell one other store owner but thousands.
One locust is harmless thousands are a plague.
DJI FPV is acrobatic, the thing can do flips when it is in full manual mode. It is pretty amazing, but definitely requires some experience flying drones.
I think you would have to compare against total users currently in VR games to get a percentage popularity. For example I own a Oculus and am not currently playing VRChat on Steam, however that doesn't mean I've never played VRChat off of the oculus store.

Steam charts is only tracking players in Steam with the software launched, VRChat is also available through Oculus's own stores for desktop and quest, where it has 8,000 reviews for the quest version and is fourth overall in popularity after Beat Saber, Rec Room and Youtube VR.

Rec Room (which looks more like what Meta has in mind, they even did laser tag) is at 13,000 or so reviews, but is only at a 30 day peak of 3,600 users on Steam.

Except, no.

Two important considerations:

1. The vaccine is extraordinarily effective at mitigating risk of hospitalization and death.

2. No current COVID vaccines are sterilizing. Vaccination confers only marginal reduction in ability to carry and transmit the virus (and even this, mainly due to duration, not due to viral load).

Taken together, the "get vaccinated to protect me" canard is insane. I don't care if other people are vaccinated or not, because I am. Any other position is political, not scientific.

There is a minor argument to be had over the (tiny) immunocompromised population, but it's important to bear in mind that this population already does conduct their lives with isolation, antiviral, antibacterial, and other safety protocols regardless of COVID. They did it before the pandemic, and they will after. Nothing changes for them regardless of vaccine uptake rates.
You need to understand what we're going for on this site: curious conversation. Curiosity withers under repetition and burns under indignation. Therefore, topics that combine a lot of repetition with a lot of indignation are not what we're looking for.

They also have a habit of taking over an entire thread very quickly, much as fire consumes and spreads quickly through what it touches (which is why 'flame' is a good metaphor for the corresponding kind of internet comment).

There are a lot of past explanations of these principles in case any of it is helpful:

repetition is bad for curiosity https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...

You're comparing completely different statistics. The 3% is the infection hospitalization rate; in other words, the odds of being hospitalized once infected. The rates from your source are the total number of people per 100k who are hospitalized for covid in a given week; it does not mean they only have a .05% chance of being hospitalized once infected, it means .05% of the entire age cohort are hospitalized from covid that week.
Right before using phones to deposit checks, some of the more advanced ATMs would let you deposit checks directing via scanning (older ones would basically just take the check and a teller would handle it later).
In the 90s there were a bunch of db/programming products like clarion, fox pro, and eventually access. It was surprising the stuff people made with them.

Why would I go for a job with a trail period when there are plenty others that give me certainty immediately?
Indeed. It's totally dumb that the OS is allowed lie to you when you've asked for some resources. And because of this behaviour people no longer check for success from malloc(), etc, because of laziness. It's a bad situation.
What you're imagining also (sort of) already exists. Credit reporting agencies, the Better Business Bureau, Yelp, Angie's List. They're "centralized" in the sense of reputation data is stored in a database with a single owner rather than something like a blockchain, but decentralized in the sense that anyone can submit reports, reviews, or votes.

Importantly, a blockchain is not very fit for an application like this because it is append-only. That makes perfect sense for a transaction ledger, where you want immutable history and transactions are reversed by entering a new transaction with the signs reversed, but you really want the ability to correct a reputation history by actually redacting false reports rather than just appending a correction.
