> Only a small fraction of scientists actually believe the lab leak hypothesis

Got a source for that?

And, let's not forget that wholly insubstantial Daszak / Lancet piece, used to justify massive censorship of the lab leak theory. Millions of posts discussing the lab leak hypothesis were scrubbed from FB and Twitter - even posts by legit scientists with highly valid and relevant points and questions.
Utility classes are an absolute nightmare. I get that for people who can't or don't want to put in the time to master CSS that they can seem really useful at first. But they are a total headache for long term maintenance. By loading up the classname attribute on an element with tons of utility class names, you are defacto creating a new class that is equivalent to the hash of all those names. You're better off just creating the class in the first place and giving it the properties it needs. Maybe use SASS mixins if you really want code reuse in your CSS that badly. But the next developer who comes in to debug a component now has to learn an entire design system and the intricacies of how the 10 different classes you've applied all work together, instead of just looking up the class definition and fixing the issue.
Surprisingly comfortable, for me, at least. I'm somewhat older, so I had some pre-smartphone habits to dust off and fall back upon
Tailwind is not a replacement for CSS; it is a replacement for tedious, unnecessary toil that comes with naming, cross-referencing, and coupling HTML elements to CSS classes. In a world of web components, Angular, React, Vue, etc. there is no longer a need to separate styles from their components; refactoring your application such that components encapsulate their own style is a good thing.
language is much less the scaffold of the mind than people think it is. You know that feeling when you can't remember somebody's name, or you can't remember the word for something? You have no trouble thinking of the thing, you just can't come up with the word? That's the scaffolding of the brain, not the words.
I agree that would be very impressive. I think it’s important to also acknowledge that to be a fantastic junior engineer, you don’t have to be an entrepreneur. A lot of the factors you’re bringing up touch on (tremendously valuable) ancillary skills.

My advice: don’t boil the ocean, show you can have really high quality craft. Be playful and engaging. Show the meta work. Have good git hygiene. Write a blog post about why you refactored something and ask for public code review. Show from afar that you’d be great to work with.
Are you suggesting that people who have experienced democratized cancellation for multiple generations would be much, much worse off compared to populations that did not experience that treatment?

edit: never did I say that a previous wrong justifies a wrong today. I'm challenging your assertion that this is "new." At the same time, I do think that some cases of so-called "cancel culture" are just fine, specifically when it's no different from any other business owner booting a customer for being abusive towards staff or other customers. Some examples of so-called "cancel culture" are in fact bad, and I agree that folks who said dumb shit 20 years ago should get some leeway if they've changed in the meantime.
I rather hoped that this advice would cause people to be less focused on new shiny toys and more on figuring out how to actually do their job better.

No. The original submission described the vulnerability as requiring an authenticated user, but it was later discovered (recently) that it works unauthenticated too, and that's what kicked off this mass exploitation. No user account is required.

Apart from other reasons, it would almost certainly result in providers obfuscating data or reverting to SSR which is a perverse outcome.

You are absolutely correct.

FWIW, reducing the power of states - and especially nation-states - is not specifically an anarcho-capitalist dream or goal. It was left-wing anarchists that started that ball rolling.

Even if Intel was using "nm" like everyone else, Intel's naming was closer to reality then the rest of the industry. TSMC and Samsung's "nm" is more of a marketing term.

Intel's 10nm is relatively close to TSMC's 7nm in term of density. That's why Intel renamed it to "Intel 7".

Technically, even TSMC calls it N7, and not 7nm.

But as you said, those units are more or less meaningless. Its just marketing.
I carry around an F1 Orchid Dumb Phone from Sunbeam Wireless (voice to text on it is awesome!) and try to leave my smartphone in my office and find I am more relaxed and have more time when I don't scroll HN and News as much. I still usually bring my smartphone when I leave home but I love spending evenings without it.
Atmospheric CO2 has increased by almost a third since I was born. I can't imagine what my children and grandchildren will experience at this rate of destruction.

This is antivax propaganda which has no place on this site. Your math is absurd and not worth rebutting.
True! A couple other popular space accelerators that come to mind are the Seraphim/AWS Space Accelerator and Creative Destruction Lab.
This seems like a great use case for formal methods. e.g. in this case EXIF removers which are formally verified to not crash and successfully remove the identifying data.

These types of programs are relatively simple, and this is a case where a formal proof is much better than reliability.

Is anyone aware of research on this?

The biggest chunk was excluding their net loss in investments in other companies.

However, "adjusted earnings" is a PR number it doesn't have any particular financial meaning. If Uber wanted to make the case that they are moving towards profitability, they could talk about operating income or cash flow from operations or some other metric that has a GAAP meaning.

Those are the numbers to watch if you want to know if the company can ever be profitable.
I know, wikipedia's not the final arbiter, but:

> The Overton window is the range of policies politically acceptable to the mainstream population at a given time. It is also known as the window of discourse.

> The term is named after American policy analyst Joseph P. Overton, who stated that an idea's political viability depends mainly on whether it falls within this range, rather than on politicians' individual preferences. According to Overton, the window frames the range of policies that a politician can recommend without appearing too extreme to gain or keep public office given the climate of public opinion at that time.

This definition does not really allow for the notion of an individual's "own" Overton Window, which would be something without any statistical properties, given it corresponds precisely with "what one person currently believes".
If you’re not being called back, it might not be because of your portfolio projects or lack there of. You might just not be standing out during the 5 seconds in which someone’s glancing over your cv. Time to change the dynamic. Can you network into these companies? Do they host meetups? Perhaps you can find a mentor who works there. Can you get some feedback on your CV and resume?

I think the projects are important, but probably not at the initial stages. Projects also teach you things, so I’m certainly not telling you to stop. I just don’t think that’s the reason you’re not getting through the screen.
Naming things sucks though.

In my experience you tend to end up in a weird thought experiment trying to work out what the third child of the body of a card should be called when actually you just want it to be bold with some padding.

As other people have said, naming things also becomes totally redundant when you’re using something like React or Vue where the abstraction is a component which is itself already named.

This may be too short a response to be satisfying. I agree with some of your points, disagree with others, and end up coming from a somewhat different place. And my salary comes from Mozilla, so I will freely admit to being biased.

Ironically, constant add-on breakage is exactly why we broke all the addons. The situation really was as bad as you describe; every release broke large numbers of addons because the addon architectural was far too invasive. It was unsustainable. Bug fixes, security fixes, and new features all required changes that broke addons.

That doesn't happen anymore. (Or at least, it is now rare instead of ridiculously common.) Addons are much more limited, they break very rarely, and we have been able to make some changes necessary for some survival-threatening shortcomings (eg Spectre vulnerabilities that the competitors do not have). I miss Lazarus too.

We have not done as good a job as we liked at implementing the new extension model. The massive layoffs made that much harder.

Arguing over what users want is a losing proposition. I know I've often been surprised (and disappointed) by the data. And I freely admit that there are some major deficiencies still present. Often, though, I find that results are different in different environments. The context menu thing works here, for example. Please file a bug if there isn't already one. I have other cut & paste bugs that irritate the hell out of me, though, so I'm not surprised by another one.

The printer stuff was completely ignored and abandoned for a very, very long time. It has dramatically improved in the last few versions.

Supporting older UX is always a hard one. I feel it too, I generally don't see the point in most changes, but I'm not going to second-guess the people who say that UX refreshes make more people happy than sad. And maintenance of past stuff has a surprisingly high cost that can't be waved away as devs being lazy. Especially in the face of mass layoffs.

> ...Mozilla never fully levels with its users concerning the real reasons for why it takes certain actions - that is other than to dress up changes with PR-speak and spin. If Mozilla's leveled with users more honesty then users would likely reciprocate.

I tend to agree. I don't think it's as bad as you say, but I do think it's an area of weakness.

The author seems naive to think that being "cyber" somehow justifies immunity to regulation by any country. As the Internet has already shown - it doesn't exempt you, if anything it makes you subject to every legal jurisdiction under the sun (at least any where people reside who interact with your system).
>Also you avoid writing CSS and designing like before CSS existed.

I know this is controversial because of the web dev canon of "lol CSS sucks", but many people really love CSS, and find it incredibly powerful and enjoyable to use. If you put in the time to truly learn it, these tools seem silly and redundant.
If you have to process it at all, do it in a WebAssembly sandbox on the server. Or, alternatively, in a seccomp-secured sandbox that isn't allowed to make any system calls whatsoever, just read data from one file descriptor and write processed data to another.

> How I parse it and present it is up to me as citizen

I know technologists like to think that way but very often the law doesn't work like that. They will think about intent - was the intent to give you the raw data or was the intent to convey a specific representation of it that may omit some parts or further transform or presentation layer changes to achieve a different final result to what the raw data would have conveyed?

If it is the latter then that is the "public document" you have access to, not the raw data from the API.
I'm really confused by these comments about pre-school aged children and I would suggest that the author if the article is in the extreme minority if he is able to spend any time at all at a command prompt with a two year old. I'll assume good faith and an extremely unusually gifted child, but if you've spent time with two year olds the anecdote stretches credibility.

Don't get me wrong, I remember the magic feeling of cd and ls ing around a drive to find and run programs on DOS after being taught by my dad, but I certainly wasn't 3 and there was a tangible benefit - I was becoming self-sufficient.

Putting snobbery about modern technology like touchscreens to one side - what's the point of a text based interface if you can't even read comfortably? I suspect that the HN demographic will tend towards children with higher educational achievement than average, but this is where most kids are:

And little pressure to pro-actively deal with the antagonist. In Among Us you do tasks to defeat the antag, in SS13 you do things because you want to do them, and the antag provides an element of chaos.
In this case the phrase "to the Core" is much more directly aimed at from Angular's core outward in that Angular literally has a key library named `@angular/core` and that my technical complaints originate there and I do try to draw the line from those decisions made in `@angular/core` and the ripple effect they have on other major libraries and the ecosystem as whole.

That the phrase "to the Core" serves as double entendre here questioning their intent/philosophy behind the existence of the framework was certainly intended to be clickbait, but I thought it clickbait that HN would appreciate because it is technically correct (and as we all know that is the best kind of correct). I appreciate that it was not well received by some and I may have been too clever with it.
I have used Tailwind and IMO it is a bad solution for most non-trivial web projects. I won't bore you with details because this is the internet. Be honest, you would skip this comment if it was a five paragraphs.
Personally I don't mind that Tailwind exists. To each their own. My issue, as another commenter pointed out, is the marketing. The more popular it gets the more often I get stuck working on a client's app that uses it because someone thought it was the best thing ever. It's not. But that person has left the company to make another mess. Job security I guess.

i started using dtach so i could abandon tmux & use vim as my outtermost multiplexer, as my container.

one of the only things i havent dug into is how to leave a :term open without keeping a window open. this is more porblematic because im not a vim tabs user. so i end up with a bunch of super mini-sized splits eith a couple random terminals.

but in general- never going back. the way on is through. these other tools just murky it up, vim is better.

> I honestly don't get why people are so focused suddenly on the power consumption for a desktop CPU designed for enthusiasts who want top performance at any cost.

Because if you up the Power/Current limits on a Ryzen, they will run faster - especially in tests like Cinebench. You won't even have to 'overclock' them. Simply allow them to draw more power if your cooling, motherboard, and PSU can handle it.

To make that a fair test the tester would have had to crank those settings up as far as they go, or until they match the Intel processor. If the Intel processor is allowed to draw 250W, the Ryzen should get the same treatment.

For example a Ryzen 5900X at ~135W (CPU Package) should score around 8200 in Cinebench r20, and at ~200W it should score around 8900.

Since in the test those 200W are apparently for the whole system, it's pretty obvious the tester left those at the stock values.

Yes, virus research does indeed come with trade offs that we have to balance. But it’s not like not researching these things don’t come with trade offs too; after all the worst viral outbreak in human history probably started in Kansas on a farm, not in a lab.

Viruses will not always successfully replicate, and failing that, have a hard time mutating. I'm not saying all gain of function research should automatically be precluded, but considering that a severe disease phenotype is (almost?) never directly selected for, deliberately bringing pathogens directly into danger zone is bound to often be go fetching trouble which would never have manifested on it's own.

I'm not convinced I'd feel much more comfortable with biosafety labs being handled according to the same safety culture as modern nuclear technology either, and that's by the argument that they both suffer from the circumstance that policy problems, and policy enforcement problems, do not rank anywhere near the top of a list, good to poor, of how humankind handles things.
It doesn't matter whether you're offended by the word "bastardchild."

What matters is that I'm offended. Heck, "bastardchild" doesn't even have to offend me because it is clearly offensive to bastards and possibly children.
