I wish more devs/designers/managers/whatever realized how many people access the internet either on a slow connection or a slow device or both. even in the first world, most areas outside of city limits is spotty 3G territory.

also, nobody gives a fuck about all the fancy bullshit. how many top websites look like something from awwwards?
I'm not stating an opinion on that one way or the other, only on the claim that the lab leak theory doesn't lead to violence against Asians, when increased violence against any group associated with an outbreak is common. Asians face it a lot, but gay people faced it during the AIDS crisis and Black people during Ebola.

It's not an opinion of mine, it's a well documented phenomenon[0].

I have choroiditis. It has formed patches of dead zones in my retina, maybe due to a faulty gene. I have to get steroid injections to my eyeball (intra-focal administration) whenever there is a significant flareup.

That bring said, I was apprehensive the first time. But you have to trust the doctor and his skills. The injection itself doesn't hurt. There are no pain receptors in that zone. Only a faint prick when the needle pierces the sclera (the white outer skin of the eyeball).

In my case, the doctor explained me before what I had to expect. A sort of cost-benefit analysis: "Bear your anxiety for a few seconds and the disease gets under control". It helps to understand what is at stake. Also, knowing the physiology of the process eases the nerves. If I know there is no nerve ending to feel the pain, I know I will be more relaxed.

Protip: I keep my fist clenched to my belt & gaze fixed to a spot to prevent any accidental movement.
Some philosophers hold that learning about something by acquaintance or experience (including the experience of trying to do something, which, when we are successful, gives us know-how) is different from learning, and coming to believe in, a collection of true propositions. Others, such as Stanley and Williamson in their influential paper "Knowing How", argue that all knowledge is, fundamentally, propositional knowledge - a position known as intellectualism.

I have always had strong doubts about the latter position, and I do not think it can survive the challenge presented by the sort of cases presented in this article.

With knowledge by acquaintance or experience (including of pain), we grasp the concept before we have a name for it, and the name is an optional relationship. I am well aware of this because I have a small problem remembering names, but when it happens, it does not interfere in any other way in my knowledge of that person. When it happens, I have, indeed, temporarily forgotten a name that I once knew (or at least lost conscious access to it), but it seems plausible that most of what I still know about them could have been learned without ever knowing their name.

Language can supplement our experience in at least a couple of ways: we can learn some concepts that might, in principle, be learned by experience, but we have not actually done so (this is not quite the same, however, which might explain my yearning to visit places with an interesting history, even if everything from that time have crumbled to dust, and so, intellectually, I realize that such a visit will not lead to significant new insights.) Secondly, it is not clear to me that one could gain abstract concepts such as the square root of -1 or entropy by language-free experience alone, which I think is the thesis expressed in the article's title.

I assume that a core cluster can power off if it's completely idle; this should be more energy-efficient than running both clusters at low utilization.
In this particular case, the mutation being added to the original SARS-CoV-2 is one that was already present in Delta. So if someone were to replicate this with real virus (as opposed to the non-infectious particles the existing experiment used), and the virus were to escape, it seems like the new variant's infectiousness would likely be somewhere between the original and Delta. Which means it would get outcompeted by Delta and the effect on the population would be nil.

There's no guarantee of that, so biosafety is still critical, but as biosafety worst-case scenarios go it seems relatively ho-hum.
A former colleague (who I don't know personally, but I worked with people who did) owned sex.com for a while. Even if the stories I've heard about what it was like to own that domain were exaggerated, it was pretty insane the lengths that people would go to in order to get a domain. Basically another gold rush, but with marginally less violence against those who squatted a claim.

That's really easy to answer.

At the time of Guy Fawkes, the Protestant world was in a battle for survival. Catholics were in the process of burning over 100,000 people on the cross, and they would imminently launch the 30 year war which is regarded as one of the most destructive in human civilization. In the next 150 years, the UK would face multiple attempts from Catholics to take over the country. Guy Fawkes was a useful and pertinent symbol to remind people of the ongoing battle.

By the year 1984 this had all been finished for more than a hundred years at least. Through the hegemony of England and then the US, Protestantism and the ideals of freedom of religion, freedom of thought, and national independence had won out over the world. The IRA was just a terrorist group of no real importance in the larger scheme of things.
I have noticed that threads running at the Utility QoS level perform a lot more consistently on the M1 than they do on Intel. Utility being the lowest libdispatch QoS level that still gets scheduled on a P core.

For example, a piece of code I was optimizing recently ran with very little variation in time between runs on my M1 system, but had ~30% variation on a similarly loaded Intel Mac. Changing the QoS level to Default instead of Utility allowed the Intel Mac to perform much more consistently on the benchmark, but made no difference on the M1 (I have good reason to leave it at Utility in my actual application, but for benchmarking it made sense to try other levels).

I found it hard to tell from the article, but it sounds like on the M1 Pro maybe the two highest QoS levels (interactive and user initiated) now preferably map to p cores 0-3, and maybe now default and utility map to p cores 4-7, and then background gets the e cores?
They picked the sources, and their sources use apparently arbitrary dates that are particularly unrepresentative. Maybe that's just an unfortunate coincidence, but even if so, the net effect is the same as cherry-picking.

I don't logically understand how someone can complain about pay being too low when working at all would be a huge raise from their current income.
It's not a single giant pickle dump; each individual object gets pickled and stored in Minerva (which works more or less like Cassandra or something). It's a pretty similar high level design to what the likes of Google or Facebook do do where you store everything as protobufs in BigTable - the bank uses pickle rather than protobuf because they put a higher priority on being able to store arbitrary objects and deal with robustness/compatibility later, rather than having to write a proto definition and a bunch of mapping code up front. You wouldn't want to use a relational database because they're not properly distributed (and, frankly, kind of bad and overrated).

The Minerva I worked on was temporal and append-only, like a HBase that never did compactions (so "delete" actually just writes a tombstone row at a particular timestamp - there was an "obliterate" command but you needed special authorization to use that), and it was distributed (with availability zones even) so you didn't really worry about losing data; loading data as-of a particular timestamp was part of every query (and implemented efficiently). There were probably regular dumps somewhere too but I never needed to encounter those.

> More specifically, can you imagine your mind without language? Can you think, plan, or relate to other people if you lack words to help structure your experiences?

Yes; for instance, when you use your mind to come up with how to rotate a sofa to get it around the bend in a stairwell, that does not really involve verbal/syntactic constructions, except for expressing the requirement at the highest level.

If you have to communicate the solution to your moving helpers, there will be a lot of hand gesturing, and use of pronouns. From an audio-only recording of the scene, capturing the verbalizations, nobody can reconstruct the manipulation of the sofa in even scant amounts of detail.

If people had to accurately document everything they do, every decision they make, in words, they wouldn't get anything done; they would be too busy editing words.

I'm irritated that the Roth IRA limit is staying at $6000! That doesn't make immediate sense to me.

At my income, hitting the Roth IRA maximum is much more attainable than the 401(k) maximum.

Good point. Some expensive competitors are: live in-person spin classes (can be $20-30 per class), or programs like CrossFit which can be $200/month. Compared to them Peloton is a bargain.
I also thought 45 degrees is used to reduce ESD, provide the best use of die space, and reduce stress on the metal with high current. Maybe all of that is a myth? Any other angle doesn't have the same benefits.

Speaking about denial - looks like you didn't read the article you submitted:

" A person who was fully vaccinated and then had a ‘breakthrough’ Delta infection was almost twice as likely to pass on the virus as someone who was infected with Alpha."
( and that is the same what i was saying months ago without any study and just based on simple arithmetic on public data https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28081982)

"Unfortunately, the vaccine’s beneficial effect on Delta transmission waned to almost negligible levels over time. In people infected 2 weeks after receiving the vaccine developed by the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca, both in the UK, the chance that an unvaccinated close contact would test positive was 57%, but 3 months later, that chance rose to 67%. The latter figure is on par with the likelihood that an unvaccinated person will spread the virus."

To the comment below: I quoted facts/numbers, not conclusions (which is the title/subtitle/etc). The article spins those facts into conclusions sounding much more substantive and far going than what the facts/numbers are. There is no meaningful difference between the 57% and 67% when it comes to the spread of that an infectious virus in a dense human society (as i stated above "not effective in reducing spread"). The article is right though saying 57 < 67 on the 1st grade arithmetic basis, you win.

People talking about space is really weird to listen to. It's like people don't realize where all the information for their pocket computer comes from. Do people really not realize how essential the satellite infrastructure is to our modern economy? Hell, GPS alone is worth $1.4T[0]. Weather, imaging, internet, communication all heavily rely on space access as well and I wouldn't be surprised if each one of those were equally as valuable.

Do people really just think space is sending people to the moon and/or mars and not realize what we do right above our heads?

Surprised these types of dollar amounts aren’t pegged to inflation, although if everything were pegged to inflation, what would things cost?
This news prompted me to do some quick math earlier today. My question was:

> What sort of retirement can you get from a 401k-only strategy?

So I tried and played to see how much of a retirement, in term of yearly retirement income in today's dollars, one would get if they were able to consistently max out their 401K, every year, starting today from 20yo to 55yo in 35 years, with a 50% match from their employer.

Math may be wrong, but it seems like the total value of that person's 401k, at 55yo, would be about 6M$. If we turn this into how much of a yearly income this feels in today's purchase power, 6M$ would be ~3M$ in today's value. At a 4% withdrawal rate, that's a 120,000$/y retirement income (in today's value).

Assuming:

- a ~500$/y increase in 401k limit
- 7% YoY growth rate of investment
- 2% inflation rate
- 4% withdrawal rate.
- 50% employer match
The 401k limit increases $1k and the Social Security tax limit increases $5k to $147,000.

In 2000 the Social Security tax limit was $76,200 so that is a 93% increase. Inflation increased only 59% in that time.

Why are IRA limits so much lower than 401ks?
tl;dr: Your phone gives off a Bluetooth signal that often times is unique due to variation in manufacture. A motivated attacker could isolate what your phone's pattern is (if it's unique enough) by following you to a few different locations and checking what pattern repeats.

This is a lot less powerful than I expected from the title but perhaps I'm not thinking big enough. A powerful adversary could set up sniffers all over the city and track the population, I guess, but I imagine the value of this method goes down the more phones that are being distinguished (variability among millions of phones probably means a lot of overlap, especially considering it doesn't seem that variation in signal is consistent).

You could use a Roth 401k to supplement that. And then rollover that into a Roth IRA if/when you change jobs.
Author here, I am using React. What I've done for "it shares some styles but not others" is create a

const sharedStyles = "..."

and in my component combine the shared with the unique attributes

<CoolComponent className={`${sharedStyles} py-3`} />

or using a string combiner utility like classNames/clsx

<CoolComponent className={clsx(sharedStyles, "py-3")} />

If you have a props to change on, you can do this

<CoolComponent className={clsx(sharedStyles, someProp ? "py-3" : "py-4")} />

Why is your age range so weird? No one I've ever met had a 401k at 20, let alone maxing it out, and few actually retire at 55.
I think the closest I've gotten to writing anything serious in a functional language has been writing a packaging system in nix— and that's definitely been a mind-expanding exercise, in particular appreciate how immutability interplays with overlays and what it means to find the fixed point and then unroll all that lazy stuff into a sequence of concrete evaluations.

Now, that said, those insights haven't been something that I've then turned around and felt like I missed when using a normal imperative language like Python or Rust. But they are pretty nifty, no doubt about it.
Probably the former. In either case, it would be interesting to see computer chips evolve independently and try to compete.
