The best place for the control key is determined by two things: finger strength and relative frequency of use. The control key is typically used far more often than alt/meta, super or (for those lucky enough to have one) hyper; as such, it should be positioned so that it may be struck with a strong finger: an index or middle finger would be great, or perhaps a thumb (as we learnt to do with Macs back in the 80s).

As such, it seems remarkable that most keyboards place it far outboard, where all one can do is strike it with the weakest finger of all. Even the superior alternative of caps lock as control is not as good as alt as control.

All of which is to say that the control key placement on the ThinkPads, while imperfect, is better than on most laptops.
Curiously, I was raised as a Catholic and we were absolutely celebrating Guy Fawkes’ Night when I was small (when I got older it drifted into “fireworks night” and stopped having a connection beyond gunpowder). Made our own effigies and burned them, too.

Correct, they both work as protease inhibitors.
Not OP but it depends entirely on how Linux-y you want your experience to be. I regularly hop between pop, manjaro, and macOS.

Brew is a given, but I also run karabiner elements for key remapping, Yabai+skhd+limelight for windows management, sketchybar as a panel, and Alfred as the run launcher since d-menu for Mac is still in early development.

This gives me some nice consistency between OSs since I use BSPWM+Polybar+Rofi on Linux.

There are several other neat little utilities that could come in handy like bettertouchtool and keyboard maestro for system wide automation with a gui and hammerspoon if you want a lua based automation program.

I personally use hammerspoon to bring up a list of Yabai shortcuts for windows management since I have too many keybindings.

As for dev tools, I use nvim, doom emacs, or VSC so it’s pretty easy to carry my config between OSs.
No, it’s society saying that the social contract is a two-way street and that if you violate your most basic obligations as a human to your fellow man, society has no obligation to you. Feel free to disagree, but it’s not just murder for the sake of it.
From what I understand it's taken once an infection is already established. Maybe it's easier to convince the "skeptics" under those circumstances to take potentially life-saving medicine.
But if that were an iron truth, wouldn't people be comfortable with GMOs?
Yes. That's why we think with the user in mind first, to make sure that this doesn't happen.
It's sort of a moot point since if you have an affected version you have to assume your whole system is compromised anyway in the case of this type of issue.
To mention it, not necessarily directed at you. Larger test groups are required when trying to distinguish between less effective treatments.

If rabies has a 99% death rate and you try your rabies treatment on 10 people, 9 of whom live, that's much stronger evidence than a situation where 50% of people died without treatment versus 48% with treatment (sample size 100). To be confident it's not just random chance, you'll need a really large sample size for the 2nd situation.
Ask HN: Vultr lost customer data. How is EC2?
We had a catastrophic incident where vultr had a hardware node failure of some sort and we lost some data (we do take offsite backups but lost few hours of data that was not backed up yet and this particular customer has lot of activity).

After the whole night on tickets with vultr, their reply is "sorry suck it. we will give you 60 days credit". We pay them thousands per month for tons of customers. Not trying to bash them but more interested in asking HN if EC2 etc is more reliable ? This is not the first time we had issues with them recently (used to be great before). So I have decided that we are completely moving off Vultr.

We do use EC2 for some and DigitalOcean as well to mix it up. I am thinking that we should completely move to EC2 as I have found AWS Support to be the best.

Is this just the way it is with VPS companies or is EC2 more reliable ?

That's either a very cheap home or a very expensive hire.

Yes, they can reach similar levels. Large companies are a bit more relaxed about spending that amount of money than individuals, but yeah, on those cases where there is a large hiring bonus (or rather don't, increase the salary instead) or the person can make an exorbitant amount of damage on the first month, it's worth investing a lot more on the hiring process.

My wife and I have a game to spell out things with baby name initials (our last name starts with a T, which helps). We aren't tied to the idea, but it's sort of like an improv game, where constraints get the ideas flowing. We've learned a fair bit about what each of us do and don't like in a game
> completely missing the point (among others, trying to prevent something worse than Delta)

Given that there isn’t a ton of data showing that vaccination actually reduces infection or transmission, and all of the clinical studies before approval were based on hospitals death, I don’t think you can claim that’s ‘the point’.
The 16" MBP already had the thermal design improvements, there was a firmware issue for a short time after release that caused the thermal throttling, after they fixed that it was on par with the XPS with the same chip.

The older ones got really toasty, but it's not like the XPS faired better in the thermal design department.

Both these had their own quirks, (I returned the XPS I got from my place of work twice because I couldn't stand the insane amount of coil whine)

Been running the 2019 MBP since it was released and it's been a pretty pleasant experience overal. Only issue I've had was with external displays drawing too much power, which was fixed by forcing the refresh rate to 59.98Hz.

> If we want to solve a problem, we should try to choose the solutions that don't involve killing people :-)

The anti-natalism movement has it right IMHO. If we voluntarily limit birth to far less than replacement, overpopulation would correct itself in as little as a generation. But we won't do that, we're not wired that way. Instead, we'll keep chugging along past the carrying capacity of the biosphere and Gaia will correct our population for us, abruptly.
I'm not sure that's how it works. There's a calculus to this I don't quite understand.

The group blesses and curses treatments based on contradictory criteria.

Ivermectin is blessed, supposedly because it is cheap. Molnupiravir is cursed, because it is a new drug Big Pharma wants you to pay more for. The vaccines are cursed, even though they're cheap. Monoclonal antibodies are blessed, even though they are very expensive, and are effectively just the products of vaccination.

I think it's more likely people are just doing what they are told by whoever influences them the most. None of it has to be consistent or make any kind of sense.
AMDs Renoir stood up to desktop CPUs some 6 months before the M1. Still yeah, the M1 is a performance beast. But like others have said already, in the latest gen (and considering Alder Lake is fresh out of the oven[0]), they're all quite close, trading blows with each other.

> COVID-19 rates in children ages 5 to 11 are so low that there were ZERO cases of severe COVID-19 and ZERO cases of death from COVID in either the treatment (n= 1,518) or control group (n= 750).

The author seemingly uses minimizing deaths as the only measure of benefit; I don’t see a discussion of minimizing or avoiding what have been called long-COVID effects.

Honestly I have no idea if children suffer from long-COVID: either how badly or what percentage of cases but a cursory search suggests that they do. Certainly I would expect that it’s easier to use a binary metric like death in a risk-benefit analysis but I was hoping a professional in the field would have some way to account for these other risks.
I guess even if that were the case, there'd still be the increased risk of catching and passing it to vulnerable people with reduced immunity.
It gives you complete control over your markup and styling. Headless UI is designed to handle everything except what the components look like.
I am thinking: if and when this is approved, we have to think about distribution.

This drug is fantastically effective at preventing hospitalisation and death, if administered within three days of symptom onset.

That gives quite a long time! But we still need to make it easy to take. Do pharmacies give it out? ER rooms? We don't want to wait until people are hospitalised; we are trying to avoid that.

So when you test positive, does the government send you out a pill with the "sorry, you have to isolate" SMS?
But in the pedagogical literature, children who are ahead in math don't substantially benefit in the reverse direction.

The key realization is that while the unauthenticated open source model works really well for individuals, it’s hard for companies to adopt.

> They want authentication, security policies, private spaces to collaborate, access control, search… all of this requires having a company behind it in practice and the open source model doesn’t work as well.

> The two versions so far work really well alongside each other right now.

I think there are certainly products out there that can't pull this off. And, that's a fair point.
Freeplane, like Freemind, looks hideous and tiny on a HIDPI screen, which is why I don't use either...
A 2% chance of death is actually very high risk for most people. Obviously with a name like dontcare007 I'm sure you've a huge appetite for risk that others don't.
It's not quite a binary yes-no question, but the vaccines not being effective enough for it to be possible to achieve herd immunity through vaccination alone makes a huge difference in how widely the virus ends up spreading.
Please let's not point fingers at hip hop as if there are not lots of examples of violence in rock, pop, and country. If you suggested "Janie's Got A Gun", "Pumped Up Kicks", and "Goodbye Earl" were making kids more violent, you would be laughed out of the room, Karen.

Music is a reflection of culture, and when there is violence in culture, artists make art out of it to cope. If black music seems more violent to you than white music, please meditate on how much more violence black people experience than white people, and why someone would presume one genre is reactive and another genre is causative.
If you select an element (or groups of elements) there is a little circle that appears at the top of the selection rectangle, you can drag it around to make it rotate.
vaccines do not work if administered after infection -- this is after infection and symptoms.
There is a much higher chance of dying when you're in the ICU with Covid and a doctor thinks it's appropriate to prescribe this new medication.
I've been using a set of Bose Audio Sunglasses with Google Maps for directions when riding.

I can't see a map, but the audio queues are (usually) all I need for directions.

Yes, but that is not visual or polished enough (although I like the idea of having a Markdown dump of a mind map).
We also don't know, in general, much about "long-COVID" and the effect of vaccination on that.
It is an enigma to me.

My best take on it is that the war machine coupled with the toxic paranoia of the senile Brezhnev government has caused the eventual demise of the USSR. The Khrushchev thaw spanning nearly a decade before that, in my personal, somewhat weakly substantiated view, was the last chance when the USSR could begin a gradual transition into opening up and becoming a Scandinavian like socialist state (I can have my own pipe dream, okay?). What followed instead was the economic stagnation focused on the preservation of the Soviet state, heavily handed suppressions of democratic movements in satellite states of the Eastern block as well as domestic policies targeting the dissent.
I don't think (and hope) so, as the western world has put it's nose in way too many pots already anyways. The further a country can stay away from western influences, the better.

And besides, don't you have your own independence to worry about at home? ;)

So here's the difference now. Back in the 90s, absolutely no one went into computing for the money, or the job prospects.

Only people deeply interested in computing did. They gravitated toward it, it was fun, they had an aptitude for it.

These days, people enter the field for cash, or because they are mildly interested and it is the best option, out of other mildly interesting things.

There is a vast difference between these two classes of candidates. Note, I am not saying that there are no younger employees that fit #1, but merely that they are far outnumbered by those barely able to perform the job.

Everyone was self taught in the day, when I started there was no internet to help me, and places like stack overflow came much, much later.

If something didn't work, I had to figure it out, no one could help. I had to look at sources, read entire books, learn how to debug, learn debugging tools, etc, etc.

Meanwhile, most modern candidates want cash cash cash, and if you ask them use your tool chain, they're pissed.

On top of that, I have seen endless candidates come out of College with zero ability for analytical thinking. It's only rote work for them.

Without frameworks, sql abstraction, and 100 other crutches, a rote worker cannot do this work.

This, I think, is why modern interview processes are so absurd. There's good money now, so naturally everyone wants the job.

This leads to the follow up, which is that rote workers are now looking to hire other rote workers. And thus, a rote workers do, they ape other company's processes.

They try to hire like google, even thought they are tiny in size, or, even though the type of work is different.

Is that CPU or GPU? Sounds a bit high when 2Gflops/watt (but I guess at 40W for all cores =2,5Gflops/W it could make sense?!) is the industry standard! Can you turn off the acceleration to get CPU only figures? What is FMA/s?

Edit: Ok that is some sort of SIMD/GPU... I need figures for the raw CPU that can also do general purpose calculations and branches!

Maybe MIPS is a better "apples to apples" measurement?

> Taiwan is a single province of China

No. Taiwan is not part of China. For 200 years the Qing dynasty did nothing with Taiwan. It never ruled it, never controlled the people. In 1887 the decided oneday “let’s call Taiwan a Provence”

This is the equivalent of a bunch of Americans moving to Canada and after a couple of generations America saying “let’s call Canada a state”

When the Japanese invaded Taiwan, the Qing dynasty threw in the towel immediately and said “yeah we don’t care it’s yours”. Japan then ruled Taiwan with an iron fist, implementing law and order, education, infrastructure, and teaching Japanese.

At no point in history has china ever ruled over Taiwan.

Taiwan is not a Provence.
I'm a bit confused by the terminology here. I thought "autoloading" referred to deferring the loading of a constant until it is first used (as described in this post[0]). But the author seems to be talking about loading code without an "import/use/require" statement.

Are those two different meanings for "autoloading"? Or do the two go together in Ruby? (As is probably obvious, I'm not a Ruby dev)

[0]: http://www.rubyinside.com/ruby-techniques-revealed-autoload-...
It wouldn't be necessarily illogical but would still qualify as "taking part in an experiment trial", as put by the parent post.

To determine if this is a rational strategy or not, we'd have to get real numbers (is it really likely that 1 in 100k people die from taking the vaccine?), and compare that against the reduction in probability of dying from COVID by even combining both treatments.
That's a great advice! On the other hand, what is it that Arch offers and Debian does not? (Asking this as a long time Slackware fan.)
