> First world countries are in the process of conducting RCTs testing Ivermectin, for example the activ-6 and covid-out studies in the US.

... "in the process of"?

How long has ivermectin existed? How long has the pandemic been around for? How long has ivermectin been claimed to have huge benefits for, regardless of the source?

Isn't it possible that there are some other reasons why RCT's haven't been conducted yet by "trustworthy" sources in the view of these meta-analyses?

Is it really such a huge conspiracy theory that researchers simply don't want to bite the hand that feeds them? Is it not a fact that literally billions that have flowed into the coffers of Big Pharma for the vaccines and their $700/pill protease inhibitor drug, and the fact that almost all research studies are performed with funding dollars that originate from them or from HHS/CDC/NIH, which also now see a dramatic, multi-fold increase in power, reach, and funding?
Neither fishyidea nor 262119 show up in haveibeenpwned's database, so they're at least uncommon. Neither of them look to have much entropy, though.

2x211y doesn't look very random to me. 2 and 1 are consecutive, and there are only 4 distinct digits here. Even if it was randomly generated, a good password generator would probably discard it for being akin to passwords that humans tend to generate. (This is especially true when you impose minimum lengths to passwords. "26219 isn't long enough? Fine. 262119.")

Fish and idea are both among the top few thousand most common words. Searching adjective+noun pairs is going to be much more fruitful than searching arbitrary word pairs, and ideas can in fact be fishy, so it makes sense to guess that particular adjective+noun pair before trying metamorphicidea.

> That you/they take it as a moral right to force people to do anything, even to consider some point, demonstrates the very moral corruptness that people hate about vegans.

I think in no other context on Hacker News, which is a hive of far-reaching intellectual curiosity, would it be taken as a negative to claim that confronting someone with a possibly uncomfortable point would be taken as moral corruption.

(Note that 'forcing' here is not in the sense of, say, using physical force to compel someone; it is just in the sense of presenting information, so that people's only possible responses are to consider that information or somehow to ignore or discount it without acknowledging it.)
If you can get "kosher salt," IIRC that should be non-iodized.

Great word, thanks!

Here it is in context:

Exxon’s ad in The Daily used a common climate misinformation technique called “paltering.” No individual sentence was 100 percent false, but together they created a misleading impression of the company and its climate efforts. If the Times’ fact-checks are only legal in nature, paltering would easily and always slip through. Oil companies would always be able to pay the Times to misrepresent themselves.
For what it’s worth, my favorite is Eleventy https://www.11ty.dev/ It has a plethora of templating options, and I find the dev experience to be very nice. It is very flexible, and does not force you to follow any rigid pattern, like many others do.

I have had trouble with GH displaying the correct diff.

I guess in most cases I don't really want to merge branch-2 into branch-1 either, I want to merge them both into master -- but first branch-1, and only then branch-2.

I don't know if that's the use-case the third party tool is focused on?

When I try that with github alone, which I have... it just gets really messy. Sometimes I need to switch the PR to a different random base branch and then back to the actually desired one to get github to update the diff when the base branch has changed since PR opened.
Who is still making multi-page websites the old fashioned way? This won't even support PHP, so you have to update your menus manually across each page if you add/remove a menu item. I understand SSGs can create templates, but isn't everybody using Github pages to publish? Is a drag and drop solution the way to go to pull those users away?

I have a Digital Ocean droplet with PHP installed, so I can drag and drop a simple folder-based website and only update the PHP include files if there's a change that needs to be displayed sitewide.

SSGs seem overly complicated to me considering that most web hosts already come with PHP installed, and the main benefit of such sites (dynamic menus) can be handled by a couple of lines of code.

Sure, and the Dutch have a history of colonizing people and chopping off the hands of Africans so they probably secretly shoot down commercial airliners too. I have no proof but ya know I wouldn’t put it past them.
Modern mini-figures from the past 10 yrs or so develop cracks in the arms where the hand fits, making them fall apart very easily. None of my old ones from the 80/90's develop them. Large blocks have been modified to use less material, so thinner walls and different structures to gain back the rigidity. They may not have change the process, but it feels like materials certainly have.

I think many people who have at least once first prototyped a numerical algorithm in a high-level language (say Python, Julia, MATLAB?) and then implemented it in C, can relate to the experience of transitioning from error messages of the type: "dimension mismatch for XYZ" to "segmentation fault". That's in my opinion a strong motivation to build tools that can automate certain parts of the development process.

Writing C code directly is as a good option, as long as your code is not too complex to develop, maintain and extend.

And, again, Python here is intended to be the host language for an embedded domain specific language that gets compiled into C. It does not need to be efficient it needs to be expressive and easy to analyse and transpile.

Yes, I'm gonna talk about Julia...

It's kinda of sad how much effort is put on the creation of new Python compilers to make it slight faster while the problem of latency to compile that people hate at Julia is not tracked because of the lack of manpower to improve Julia's interpreter.

https://youtu.be/IlFVwabDh6Q?t=2530 (tldr: The Julia interpreter is currently about 500x slower than JIT code and there are a lot of low-hanging fruit work there that could easily give it a 10x speedup - this could make more viable to switch between compiler and interpreter depending on the work)
Once I had an interesting experience at AH when I used my combined debit/credit card.

It wasn't a branch that accepted credit cards (it was full of crossed off card logos), the clerk saw my foreign card with Mastercard logo and said that wouldn't work but I insisted by showing it had a Maestro logo on the back. Reluctantly they said OK, go ahead and for everyone's surprise, it worked.

The transaction ended showing up on my credit card statement, and to this day I really don't know what happened. I know that international withdrawals (that should use Maestro network) appear on my checking account. Who knows...
Exactly - and waiting for that review leaves you in this holding pattern where you'd really like to be moving the ticket along, but you kinda sorta have time to do something else.

I appreciate that you drew a distinction, because being anti-science and anti-scientist are not the same thing at all.

The current way that science, i.e., research, is being funded has very little to do with the Scientific Method and seems very broken.

That seems to be the GOP stance; that huge funds are flowing from big corporate interests into universities. It seems quite simple to purchase nearly whatever research you like.
It works exactly like this in the US too. The numbers shown to consumers are not what big financial institutions base their decisions on.

By the same logic credit scores don’t exist in the US either. It’s just an approximation, your bank still makes their own decisions.

One other thing I'd like: For digital subscriptions, I'd like not using the service for, say, 30 days to automatically pause billing. So if I don't use Netflix or read the NYT for a whole billable month, they don't bill me for the month. If there's no cost to the producer and no value to the (non-)user, there shouldn't be a charge.
Which makes this thread's title at least confusing.
I'll mention it because no one else has yet:

A big reason not to work for Amazon is that they make their employees sign non-competes. Thankfully those are unenforceable in California, but I still find it a reprehensible practice, even if it wouldn't apply to me. It's shitty when it's enforced (and they have done that), but it's still shitty even when it's not as it creates a chilling effect. Even the threat of enforcing a non-compete (even if that threat is 100% implied) is enough to hurt post-Amazon employment opportunities. I don't want to support that.

There's also being associated with their warehouse conditions and low pay (relative to similar companies), but others have covered that elsewhere.
Agree. Although 100% of my knowledge about Henry comes from the Mantel trilogy it seems like after Catherine he had some serious risk factors.
The idea is you need to understand your workload and run tasks on schedulers meant for that workload. You'd make sure to move that work to a context for long running tasks.

Not unlike how you might use a non-virtual thread pool in Java.... but it seems wrong to imply that you no longer need to think about this stuff.
Can we all agree that .NET is just a Microsoft attempt at lock-in to their platform, and actually adds zero value to Windows or the rest of the world?

Obtaining Windows Enterprise legally is tricky if you're not a big corporation. It's not even a money thing, it's that they outright won't sell you a license directly, instead you have to go to a reseller and then pad the order with cheap client access licenses to reach the minimum amount of licenses required for an order.
Not even Deno can solve the halting problem, unfortunately.

1) Seconding used as an option from the other post. That's great.

2) Big Buckets of legos still exist and are pretty cheap, actually.

3) Kids may like the sets on the shelf but my kids have treated them like puzzles: they're really excited when they get them and put them together once, play with them barely if at all, then as soon as they get a little messed up, just destroy them and go back to making whatever, and never put them together again. I've seen very few modern sets (but there are a few!) that look like they'd support the play-style I had as a kid. Even the "big" sets with huge part counts are tiny compared to large 90s sets, and have rooms and such that are almost too small even for kid-hands to play in, plus the aforementioned problems with so many of the pieces being tiny, so much of the construction being really fiddly (relying on all those tiny pieces) rather than straightforward so it's hard to fix if part of it gets broken, or you deliberately disassemble part of it for some reason. Few exposed studs plus the fiddly-construction thing makes expansion/customization and "kit-bashing" tougher, which was a big part of what I did. I suppose the modern ones appeal really well to kids who like to assemble lego sets, then display them, rather than playing with them. I knew a few kids like when I was a kid.

I don't know whether 3d printed lego replacements are any good.

For AWS, as fully remote, for ridiculously high compensation, yes. Otherwise, no.

As a user, I have observed product searching and sorting to remain in a nigh-unusable state for decades now. I cannot fathom how such a state could be permitted to persist in any well-managed development team.

As a laborer, I have followed journalism covering treatment of workers, both in warehouses and on delivery routes. This led me to classify Amazon as a sociopathic corporation.

As a software professional, I have been repeatedly pinged by recruiters who seem to have no awareness of my value, or how much of my time Amazon's hiring process proposes to waste. And reports of working conditions seem strongly dependent on a random (to me) assignment to a specific team. Turnover and retention varies wildly.
No. When I was in grad school, I was selected as an alternate for their on-campus interviews the night before, and I went through the full interview process first thing the next morning. I ended up getting an offer from them then, and after learning more about the company, I turned them down. I asked the interviewers about their work-life balance, and they talked about being on pager rotation in case something screwed up in the middle of the night. That's just an invitation for bad practices, knowing someone will always be there to bail you out, and I had no interest in being that person. The more I looked at the company and their retention practices, and the way they treat their warehouse workers, the less I wanted to work for them.

Their recruiters contact me every year or two, and I turn them down when they do. From what I can tell, nothing has changed there, and nothing will until they run out of people to burn through. (See: their policy on marijuana.) Earlier this year, one of their drivers left a bottle of waste on the street in front of my neighbor's house. Why would I want to work for a company that does not give their workers the basic dignity of being able to use the restroom when they need to?
The article manages to stay entirely free of useful information, despite such a captivating title.

How to Negotiate the Tech Salary You Deserve
Is it common for buildings to list?
This is a pretty facile analysis. HTTP2 is faster, more flexible, and more reliable than HTTP1. HTTP2 also eliminates the need for several silly performance hacks in HTTP1. The differences might not matter for your static site, but they matter a lot for larger applications, and, more importantly, they open the door for using HTTP2 in situations where today people would be building their own clunky ad-hoc protocols; that's the opposite of the phenomenon you describe with respect to the two protocols.

HTTP3, more the same! The performance wins of HTTP3 won't matter at all for most typical web applications. But typical web applications aren't the point of HTTP3.
And this approach may or may not be better, depending on usage patterns. Code splitting or even inlining may benefit users who tend to view only one page then move on. A single file loaded and cached upfront will tend to benefit users who stay on your site to view multiple pages.

In either case, splitting atomic CSS is probably more complex to get right because of ordering, and possibly more inefficient for everyone as well.
Future-Proofing the Economics of Blockchains
Yup. Paradoxically I find it much easier to understand something when I know the layer inmediately below it.

Middle layers of software stacks are not implemented in a way that makes sense in isolation. There is always a reason why something is done a certain way and that reason usually comes from a lower layer.

For people who love to ask “why”, being forced to understand a single layer of a software stack is mental torture. Those who proclaim something is good because “you don’t have to think about x,y,z” are missing the point. Yes in the near term maybe, but long term its not the best solution.

For sure. Morality is an important factor for many people turning vegan. Therefore a vegan company needs to have very admirable culture. I would request that you don't give us impossible [1] standards but in this case Impossible is acting indefensibly (if the situation is as clearcut as it currently seems).

I will also suggest however to watch out for confirmation bias regarding your idea of a typical vegan. 4 of my close friends are vegan and we all only share that information when it's necessary (e.g. about to eat with strangers) and none of us frequently pontificate about the morals with non-vegans either online or in-person. For every vocal vegan that you see, there may be many more quiet ones.
