Ask HN: How do you handle transitioning to a new IDE?
I'm making the transition from a 2015 mac to a new M1 as my dev environment. I'm simultaneously pulling a long-needed upgrade on all my production web apps from much earlier versions of Typescript (2.x > 4), PHP (5.x > 7.4), and MySQL (5.7 > 8). All updates I had held back because my dev environment had gotten too mangled to attempt any upgrades on the old machine. (Try replacing homebrew under 10.11 without wrecking everything that's working). So that's a lot of code to manage. Mostly it's okay. But the hardest thing for me is... changing my IDE.

I've been using Eclipse since at least Helios (2010)... that's the oldest one on my last machine. Same project setups ported from version to version. But the AArch version of Eclipse is not stable, and doesn't even launch on my machine. And I've admired (from a distance, next to colleagues) the lovely contours of VS Code for a lot of years. So I just spent the last two days building a VS Code environment (uh, a single multi-root workspace with a lot of tsconfig files and tasks) while fixing a bazillion typescript and PHP warnings. Okay. So I got all that done. Finally zero compiler problems.

Now my problem is, I can't see code. I think I've gone code-blind. I can look at my old laptop showing a page of typescript in Eclipse, and I know exactly what I'm looking at. I can see through the code, see what it does. I look at the same thing in VS Code and all I see is colors. I tried light mode. I tried Github theme. I tried my old fonts. I tried Courier New. Everything burns my eyes. I literally can't see the significance of the code; I feel like I'm looking at some ancient codex in a foreign language. Like the Rosetta Stone. Again, exact same code in my super basic light theme in Eclipse is entirely readable. Maybe it's the tab lines in VS Code? Or the shaded syntax highlighting? Too much visual information?

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this when changing editors. It's disturbing. I actually feel like I'm losing my mind (or like someone who's suffered a traumatic brain injury, I've lost the part of my brain that I rely on to infer meaning from symbols). Perhaps it's just the fear of a major change, or a break with the past. I'm hoping that after a few days it'll pass. I certainly never loved Eclipse...

I used to use f.lux a lot to change my screen to red-on-black only, at night. This was a fine way to code, but slightly more challenging. Maybe it's all the colors that are screwing me up, I just need monochrome.

I'd love to hear anyone's take on transitioning IDEs and whether it's worth it to try to adjust your brain, theme-wise and color-wise. I never realized I'd gotten so attached to the visual part of moving through code. It shouldn't be that way, but I guess it is.
There seem to a lot of ruby pieces falling into place for Rails 7.

The Achilles Heel of Hotwire apps has previously been the low number of supported websocket connections and high memory usage when using ActionCable and Puma but I have high hopes that Falcon[1] will take care of that.

That along with Github's View Components[2] and Tailwind make me really please with the way Rails is heading right now.

If this pandemic has proven anything at all, it's that incompetent and/or corrupt doctors are a dime a dozen. Pick any intervention, no matter how counterproductive, implausible, or just plain stupid, and you can probably find a fully-accredited MD somewhere who's evangelizing it from the rooftops.

Medical doctors are not scientists, or even engineers. They are more like highly-skilled technicians. NTTAWWT, but the MD degree by itself shouldn't bring individual doctors anywhere as much social and scientific credibility as it does. For most Americans, the best source of information on COVID has been, and remains, their public health authorities.
I still do not believe that this is a sufficient explaination, and regardless, not a sufficient excuse. As others have also pointed out, most of the people who need this information to audit the FDA's results and agree to accept this medical procedure, will be dead before the information is finished being delivered.

If there is really no answer between blind trust and dying of old age, .... there is no 'if' actually, it's simply unacceptible. Neither this data, nor any government policies based on it, are "acts of god" that humanity just has to live with like solar flares. They are both created by humans and there is simply no excuse for even attempting to float any such proposal as "we'll dribble this data out for 50 years" It doesn't matter what the logistical problems are.

Logistical problems are the most easily solvable problems. They require little to no artistic muse or genius. You just work on them, very plodding straightforward work.

For instance, you don't have the budget to do the work the old brute force way? Well considering the alternative is over 50 F-ing years and who knows how many man-years, that equates to a rather large budget to develop some better process, and then use it. Like a volunteer citizen science program complete with training certifications and cross-checking and oversight and accountability and everything necessary to maintain full integrity. Let's say that project is huge and takes TEN YEARS just to develop the procedures and stuff. Even something pie in the sky like that is still a fraction of 55 years! And really, even a single reasonably educated staffer couldn't develop at least the outline in say, one year? A whole year?

No matter what parts of this problem you want to look at, this "500 pages per month" BS still just does not add up, even if you pretend you're stupid and just accept the stated difficulties as actually being the problem.

Ok enough of that..,setting aside debunking the problem or coming up with new solutions to the problem, switching gears to "what would make it not a problem?" like in a perfect world, if you could have anything etc:

It sounds like what should happen is, the data should be supplied with the identifiers seperated by the original submitter. Like a standard that everyone follows where when you write the reports in the first place, everyone is subject A who works at employer X and lives in county Z, and the legend is in a seperate part of the document which is trivial to withhold.

Put both the job of segregating the data and the liability for doing it correctly on the submitter when they are creating the data in the first place.

Then the FDA or other similar body only has to do a reasonable minimal due dilligence to realease the anonymised data. If there are mistakes, make that the applicant's responsibility.
> For some reason, people don't see the consequences of action and inaction symmetrically.

Prevention paradox.

Regarding the masks, at least in Germany the problem was different... politicians knew that masks were effective but, since the stockpiles of the Cold War era had been dismantled and domestic production all but non-existent because no matter what China is going to be at least 10x cheaper, they feared a "bank run" on the few masks that were still in the country.

Politicians didn't have the guts to come out and say "yes, we know that masks help, but please don't go on shopping sprees, we need every single mask there is for the hospitals".
Weechat supports all of those and is open source.
Sorry I'm not aware of anything like this. I went "all in" : I just installed GrapheneOS on my phone, Linux on my desktop and stopped using anything Google related (except YouTube that I watch in a dedicated browser).
Ah yes, Fermat articles, I hate them.
> Because he's being generous: the 11% difference was on a baseline seroprevalence of 0.76%.

Wait a second.

> In other words: you'd have to get 1300 people to wear masks to prevent one seropositive (in case you're wondering, the confidence interval on that value overlaps zero.)

You are assuming 0.76% prevalence. This is, I assume, in specific point of time, but somehow, you extend this to long-term intervention.

If you spin COVID-19 "but only 0.5% of population is infected _right now_", any intervention will seem extremely ineffective. "Oh, you want to vaccinate 300 millions of people to prevent 2000 deaths" (without saying it's 2000 deaths _per day_).

But efficiency of immature processes only ever improves. Solar is close to maxing out, in watts/m^2, although watts/$ is still in free-fall. Space for solar panels is cheap, so the latter figure dominates.
Launch HN: Imagito – Search Images Containing Text
Imagito helps search images that contain text. It is available on Android & iOS.

1.It works offline.

2.Uses your phone's processing power to process text on the images.

3.Scans about 5+ images/second on a high end phones.

We wanted a tool that could enable us to search for prescriptions, invoices, tickets or any image that contained some text.

We've been lucky to onboard some awesome users who gave us feedback, and helped us improve the app.

It automatically indexes text from new images every day.

We are looking to build many other features, including making a Mac, Windows version of this tool - in the future.

John knows. Points his finger at the set ... and touch!
I heard the zap and saw John and his stool tilt backwards. Flat on the floor.

> Should they have proper off-site backups? Yes. Should we just let these companies go out of business until organizations learn their lesson? I would say no.

Can you expand on that? Bad management leading to criminal interaction seems like something we'd be better off without.
Just for fun, I tried it in Raku.

say qx< cal -hy > # Command output as string
.lines.skip.join("\n").split(/\n\n+/) # Skip year & split groups
.map({ |([Z] .lines.join.comb(22).batch(3)) }) # Single column structure
.map({ |(.[2] ~ .[0].trim, |.[3 .. *]) }) # Month name on first row
.grep(*.trim.chars).join("\n") # Join non-blank lines
.subst(/\s+ ^^ \s\s+ 1»/, ' 1', :g) # Collapse weeks together

I was never going to beat APL... Though I imagine some clever Rakoons could probably find a few places where this can be golfed down.

In the non american world, where "trucks" are not a daily commuter, a sedan is not out of date. Nor is a hatchback, nor is a ferrari. The family wagon, truck and hybrid truck/suv have been an out of date style for the last 50 years in the developed world.

I work for an HR compliance training company and we use a heavily modified version of Moodle in combination with our own back end. Moodle was originally chosen as an MVP for the company and it is good at playing industry-standard formats, like SCORM and AICC. But Moodle's code base is around 20 years old and very cumbersome to modify so we do plan on moving to 100% custom in the future.
Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) :

Austria is the first country in Europe to introduce mandatory Corona vaccination for all. The announcement was made by Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg following the government's meeting with state governors at Achensee in Tyrol. The mandatory vaccination will come into force on February 1. Due to the sharp rise in the number of infections and the overload of hospitals, a lockdown will be imposed across the country for 20 days starting Monday. After that, recovered and vaccinated people will be exempt from the lockdown.

Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg regretted that not enough people could be convinced of the usefulness of vaccination. He said the government had waited too long for people to voluntarily get vaccinated. In view of the many dead, sick and overburdened hospitals, there was now no other way out than compulsory vaccination. Unfortunately, many people had been deterred from vaccination by false news from radical opponents of vaccination. The Corona virus remains. The vaccination is until now the only means to be able to live halfway normal despite the virus.

Austria is suffering from a massive fourth wave of infection, which could not be broken with the measures taken so far.

Is their evidence that psychiatric inpatient treatment is causing high suicide rates among those who leave?

Wouldn't "the system is mostly good at only putting extremely high-risk people into those facilities" cause the same correlation if it were the case?

Would it be surprising if "people leaving any general hospital" were more likely to die of whatever they had been there for than "people who didn't need to go to hospital"?
All the church tower climbs I can recall in this moment are on anti-clockwise stairs, so there may be a point here. The decent was never so exciting so I really can't remember if the other stair was twisting the other way around...
Minor nitpick. Wikipedia, CNET and Zero Hedge are wrong about Braeburn Capital being the largest hedge fund. A hedge fund employs "alternative" investment strategies to traditional investment funds. If we loosen the definition to include Braeburn Capital, then it would also cover BlackRock, which has almost $10 trillion in AUM.
Are they also planning to implement a forced vaccination for the unwilling?
Good point. I’ve come up with a similar strategy: no wealth, but have a handful of life-years in savings before starting something. If it doesn’t work out in a year, there is still a good safety net and time to re-evaluate. Heh, it must be much easier to reason about when you have backup just by default.

It seems much more reasonable to highlight the UTC offset more often in normal everyday clocks, so that everyone knows both the local & UTC time all the time - so when deciding on e.g. a meeting, everyone is ready to work with UTC instead of local.
You do realize, a lot of vaccines are already mandatory all around the world right?
I might be mistaken on storing hydrogen, but all that takes in a high pressure container. I can imagine putting those solar-to-hydrogen plants up at sunny but remote places with plenty of space. Once a month when the containers are full a train comes along, unhooks cars with empty containers and goes off with the full ones. If you were to do that with any sort of battery you'd need two batteries, one be charged, one being used/discharged elsewhere, and your battery (for lack of a better term) efficiency (Total cost of usage?) basically halves.
A few years ago I made the jump from DevOps/SRE/sysadmin work over to sales engineering. It's actually been a great fit for me so far!

I always felt like I wasn't built for pure tech positions - I'm not the kind of person who can code for eight hours at a time, and that's what many of my previous employers seemed to want from me. I love presenting, I enjoy helping people, and I like a fast pace and a broad variety of work. Sales engineering has been a great fit.

The tricky tradeoffs for me have mainly been around interacting with the sales org.

Some of the sales folks can be... you know how sales folks can be. They can have big personalities. And their incentives can be different to mine - where I am right now they're measured purely on attainment, and I'm measured on broader customer success. So it's been really important for me to understand how they work, how they're incentivised, how I can best help them while still ensuring my customers get the best outcome.

The other tricky thing for me is being part of a group whose sole purpose is to sell. I never thought I'd be doing that - ringing the bell, ABC, coffee's for closers, etc. So it's really important for me to be selling a good product that will actually help customers, and to be able to be honest about its benefits and potential downsides. The minute someone tells me to sell something I don't believe in is the minute I get out of sales.

But I'm the whole it's been a great move. I've learned (and am still learning) a lot.
Damn. That's an ugly website. I'd be interested to know if your are making or will ever make money from this.

See my comment in the other thread. Basically, Windows XP / Windows Server 2003 and other OSes of that vintage still probably drive a good portion of industrial machines. For example a new and modern dentist office, with top of the line equipment had to buy a used panoramic x-ray machine. It makes sharp images, it runs on a separate network and only talks to the NAS - so it is quite decoupled. It works really well but it runs Windows XP. I noticed when I was there, that is how I know all this.
In this case, the unicast extension doesn't really apply but it could be other Windows XP machines connect e.g. over a VPN somewhere perhaps in the public cloud. The machine doesn't listen on any port on the public IPs it has... until one day, it can't connect to the VPN endpoint for some reason, because it is in the 0/8 or 127/8 range or whatever.

You have to consider it, it is still millions of devices potentially flooding the new addresses, causing major security holes in legacy networks and a lot of maintenance burden. It is a dream/ nightmare come true for support companies and contractors depending on who you support.
There are electrical buses already that are being used quite extensively, e.g. Moscow has a fleet of electric buses
> The only thing you really need is an easily accessible tool to explicitly view which apps are allowed to run in the background. This doesn't have to occupy valuable notification area space.

Those tools existed and they didn't help because users had no recurse against poorly behaving apps. Meanwhile Android kept being reamed by reviewers and media for poor battery life and people kept buying locked-down iPhones instead because they lasted longer.

I spent countless of hours trying to get Android devs to not do dumbass things with battery ("oh, I need updates? I''ll just poll the server every 20 minutes and ruin the users battery in hours. Easier than long polling!") and in the end the situation didn't improve until Google stepped on the devs neck and forced them to use GCM/FCM and started actively powering down radio without apps input.
This looks pretty cool. Thanks, I'll take a look.
To me it seemed more like it was because there was not a great enough supply of masks, so to avoid having the general population buy them all up but to save them for medical workers, this message was communicated.

I'm sorry, but I disagree about the two last points. Around 2001/2002 I was doing this kind of work of purchasing new desktops and deployments on hundreds of machines using a combination of PXE and Kickstart (I believe Kickstart appeared in 1998). It was not ideal, but it worked, and each department had their own settings. The only complaint I heard from my colleagues was that they cannot install "little sheep" (one of these gimmicks that would sit on your desktop and distract you). Actually some of them were upset they cannot install games, but they preferred not to voice this concern aloud.

As to your first problem, the lack of software, yes, it was a huge problem then. What we had to use at that time was substandard. I personally suffered (even though I love Linux on the server). Also KDE was unstable and a memory hog, Gnome wasn't much better, and you couldn't just buy more RAM. I'm very happy these days are over.
>> "modern framing" in media should be scrapped again and journalistic work should return.

I know so many people (here, in America) who are desperate to find a news source that simply presents news, free of opinion. There is none. I watch France24 every morning (30 minutes in English, the next in Spanish - they're often different stories), and it's easier to mentally remove the French bias about this or that former colony than it is, e.g. to remove the American left or right bias about all politics, or Russian or the Chinese or Qatari bias against democratic systems in general. DW is also okay, sometimes. (BBC is not). But even this is an extreme measure I take to find a somewhat unbiased news source that I can digest while I'm exercising.

So yeah, there is a market in the economy of today. Everyone I know is sick of hearing opinions and slanted stories. If I turn on any American channel - whether it's NPR or Fox - I just want to vomit at how they baby-talk to their userbase.
