ONS study on infection/reinfection during the delta period over the summer charts 5 to 8 show previous infection is as good as or in some cases better than the vaccines.

Same observation regarding my public school in rural Germany in the same timeframe. We received an excellent education, but all of us thought it was just adequate. High expectations from the public count for something, I suppose.
"Whataboutery" gets banded around waaaay too much - I see nothing wrong with pointing out apparent hypocrisy and/or discussing comparable situations.

Also, it was not my intention (and I honestly don't see it in my words as hard as I look) to suggest there was any kind of "tit for tat".
The main problem I have is that our range uses halogen elements. Which reach a specific temp then cycle on and off to stay there. You’re either too low temp. So the water boils then stops. Or too high, so it bubbles over and burns the coffee.
The idea is great, but I was surprised there's not a single "page template" that looks like a boring old wordpress blog, i.e. 2 column layout with maybe a header nav.

I think your line of thinking is rooted in the assumptions that these cloud services use the fact that they don't do what you describe as a ploy to make more money. Instead it's that they choose to invest in other kinds of functionality; while the concepts you describe are certainly possible to build, they are specifically demanded by a narrow subset of the market which makes them difficult to prioritize
> Because the essay is about public education, e.g. state funded education. Not the history of all education. Public education in the West was pioneered by Prussia in the 18th Century and then copied by other nations in the late 19th Century

My question remains - why is Prussian educational thought considered influential in the USA by the author, and no thought given to British educational thought? Because one guy visited Prussia to see their system?

It's not like the USA's lower house of government is called the Diet, I'm pretty sure the USA does things the USA way, education included.

If you want to strongly link Prussian educational thought to American educational thought, you might have to prove it beyond "this guy who thought education was important visited Prussia".

PS - Horace Mann, yep, visited Prussia. However, didn't say shit about "let's use schools to control the people". Which even the author acknowledges with a a slight sneer:

> Mann may have not been as explicit as his German counterparts in his hopes for social control

(But he totally was for it, trust me, I'm a substack author).
Because you want to be able to make high quality contributions, you want to learn?

If you don't have that desire and can't take critical feedback then it's not really a contribution that the maintainers want to be attempted, so that's fine.

Nobody's saying the feedback is hostile or outright dismissive, and generally what I see (no experience with LKML specifically but I assume the same) isn't. It might get there if it's repeated, or the author shows no interest in improving just 'pls merge works for me' sort of thing - but by that point what's in it for the maintainers to be soft and encouraging, if there's no willingness or cooperation?
On the one hand, certainly to gain access to areas where non-vaccers actually have no access.
But I think that a big motivation is also to feel superior to the authorities, that want to give you the feeling of an unalterable proof of vaccination through cryptography.
If a citizen who is critical of the state actions now has the opportunity to deceive them, self-satisfaction will develop.
If I remember correctly, and forgive me for missing some details, the last one states that we are most likely to experience warming until 2045/2050, no matter what we do.

They then proceed to give some different scenarios based on their models of what we do in those years from now to 2050. The models explain what changes we will likely experience, if the temperature rises post 2050 from a range of 2 to 6/7 degrees. The ideal scenario is a 1-2 degrees, which is still bad and can lead to a lot of global destabilization. But not as bad as all the other scenarios. The worse and worst case scenario is cause for concern, and if we don't do our best, we are in for a hell of a ride.

So no matter what we do, we will experience more and more harsh effects, that is most likely the reality now. It is not delusional, and it says so in the ippc reports you are referring too. I am referring to the latest one from 2021, made for policy makers.

I don't think we will all just have no future, we can still do a lot to mitigate the risks post 2050. It is neither productive to say it is hopeless, but neither that the risks aren't very very real. But if we don't take it seriously now, things are gonna be capital B bad. It's like one of the execs of an oil company said when asked about the implications of using oil, and I'm paraphrasing; "It's not my concern, the future generations will just invent tech and solve it". How arrogant and careless can you be....
Memory cells do not prevent infection, they live in the lymphatic system and are only activated if a pathogen gets past the "innate immune system" and gets to the point we typically refer to as "infection". So, to re-use your phrase: if that were true we'd be seeing vaccinated people getting infected but recovering quickly and generally not dying, which is exactly what we see.

Nope it was moist and delicious! Separated the skin from the meat and rubbed with salt and sugar. 450 for an hour then 325 until the internal temp was at 157+. Breast was foiled to prevent overcooking.
Interestingly, getElementById was 62% slower than querySelector on my computer with FF94. I reckon this is a moot issue as neither of these is likely to be a bottleneck for a web application.
Climate and environmental concern were dismissed and attacked for decades.

Reading the article it seems that the author is opining on Climate Communication, but that is not his main subject.

They pick a headline from climate activists “famines in Europe in 20 years” as an example of hyperbole, but “Half of the Great Barrier Reef Is Dead” is a headline.

Sure, extreme claims will hurt credibility when they don’t pan out. But does this really matter when solid climate science has already been “debunked” and dismissed by a range of Murdochian talking heads and cranks?

A necessary amount of emotional energy is needed for momentum to shift in stories. Even more energy is needed when someone is manipulating climate change coordination. Large scale communication for a movement is simple and designed for ease of repetition and emotional resonance.

This is what it looks like when you have enough pressure in the pot to counteract suppression.
Sure - but if they really want to go their local bar, you can either expose your computer to dark web to buy a certificate, or just go and get a free shot…

Whilst your comment is factual, I think it doesn’t make sense in the context. The barrier to purchasing a certificate off the dark web is high and require a fair amount of financial and personal conviction / exposure…
Neither the PR, nor the linked issue, goes to any effort to explain what the work is and why it is needed. PRs should always have a carefully written intro, unless they are doing something totally trivial. For a new feature, the PR intro should explain the background and why the feature is justified, a high level overview of the code changes, and how correctness has been established. 30 minutes writing a PR is not much, especially if you've been working on something for more than one day. If your company doesn't have that culture, your company should change.
There are many (thousands?) of criminal cases currently open in Romania for doctors forging certificates for 2-300 Euros - emptying the dose in the sink and issuing a "vaccinated" certificate. So the certificate is totally valid as far as the system goes (but just like Blockchain, depends on real-world trust to actually function).

For me, the baggage is mostly the complexity of the service. With that comes monitoring, maintenance, tuning, debugging and troubleshooting.

Lessened somewhat with SaaS products like Amazon Kinesis (technically not a Kafka, but close).

Another "baggage" is that an event-driven setup is eventual-consistent -and async- by nature. If your software already is eventual-consistent, this is not a problem. But it is a huge change if you come from a blocking/simple "crud" setup.
Please see my sibling comment.
It seems I was overthinking how to verify things and forgot that databases exist. Although I might have assumed that the vaccine certificates are checked as they enter the hospital (at least here in my country).

Also never occurred to me that someone in the ICU will show a certificate or pretend to be vaccinated (at that point what do you get?).

Not sure if I’m missing standard social cues or something more obvious with my questions.
Could you share the link to your blog post?
The article doesn't say anything about causation, so what's your point?

"researchers from Leipzig, Jena, Gera, and Australia aimed to answer the question whether the games cultures play correspond to how cooperative they are"
in some countries actual vaccine is used, and all paperwork is in check, you pay 25 euro to the doctor, they squirt the vaccine in the sink and you get a cert
False on two counts:

1. It doesn’t need to be a valid JavaScript identifier, though if it isn’t you’ll need to use subscripting syntax to access it:

> document.body.id = "like-this";
> window["like-this"]
<body id="like-this">

2. It’s not added to the window object; rather, property lookup on a window object falls back to looking up elements by ID if there is no such property:

> typeof example
"undefined"
> document.body.id = "example";
> example
<body id="example">
> example = "no longer an element";
> example
"no longer an element"
> delete example;
true
> example

I don't have any first-hand experience with this topic, but it seems reasonable that Rust has a special attraction for perfectionists. So many features to play with to get the most efficient, memory-safe etc. code...
It's a HN thing for some people to ask others not to swear and be flagged to death, at least that's the usual outcome from what I've seen.
Apart from those were well understood problems with relatively simple solutions unlike climate change which at current pace will change the face of the planet in the next 50 years.
Backyard chickens for both meat and eggs are pretty feasible in many places. I don't like meat but raising chickens for eggs was very easy for me and I live close to the center of a small city. Friends of mine in a major city worked with their friends and neighbors to collectively raise and slaughter backyard chickens for meat. Factory farming is not the only option, although I agree that this involves eating less meat for sure.
And who exactly would be making sure companies didn't sell dangerous snake oils as harmless?

You can also bribe a doctor/nurse to "vaccinate" you, no barrier here.
Does Caplan go into discrimination against people who don't have a degree? I've been in conversations that turned awkward when I revealed that I didn't attend college. The people who went to a 4-year university don't want to be told that their degree is less valuable than they think. They feel most comfortable around other people with similar backgrounds. So when they end up in a hiring role, they will value candidates with a degree higher than those without. Leading to a feedback loop with the observed outcome.
It's not just humans vs "planet". The big rock called Earth, yeah we probably aren't going to bother it much. But the destruction of biodiversity, all forms of life on earth, is an enormous ongoing tragedy that we absolutely have a responsibility to reverse with all our efforts.
I remember a friend complaining that his USB keyboard synth "had too much latency" (from time pressing the key to hearing the attack from the windows speaker). I thought he was daft and then several years later, when we had a piano in the house, I tried it and immediately noticed that my USB synth had a significant latency (probably 100ms) which made it very hard to play. I discovered ASIO and was pretty blown away how high the default latency for USB to audio is on a modern OS.
Antibodies should be recognized, especially as some people cannot get the vaccine.
Late to reply, but yes. I'm a native English speaker, and everyone I know refers to N95 masks as masks. I don't know a single person who refers to them as respirators, even though that's the technical term.
I was in school when mobile phones were just becoming accessible, and our school had a blanket ban on them. If they were out of your backpack or locker anywhere other than the lunchroom, it got taken away and you could pick it up at the end of the day from the principals office.

It blows my mind that anyone could try to teach a room full of young kids without such a policy... what a daunting task.

This is what I was reacting to. Does this suggest that the feedback is likely to be constructive?
First dose is not sufficient for access to restricted activities, and the second dose requires a waiting period of 2-3 weeks AFAIK. Then there's the likely possibility of requiring a third dose (https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/eu-covid-passes-set-to-ex...), making coordination even more difficult.

Adding to that some people believe (uh oh) that you're also taking on higher risks of life threatening adverse reactions for each subsequent dose.
I guess the alternative is homeschooling, where the parent is the tyrant instead. Sometimes they are benevolent dictators (e.g. more personalized education encouraging methodical exploration and autodidacticism), sometimes they are not (time to teach my son/daughter how the world REALLY works). And a lot of parents don’t have the time to be either.
As an open source author and maintainer, I think you're looking at this from the wrong way around. Good contributions are not the norm, they're the exception, and from the offset it's often not so straightforward to figure out which one you're dealing with. It isn't constructive to think of a contribution as a gift, if anything, it's a Greek gift [0]: contributing to an open source project creates more work for the maintainers, both in reviewing the contribution and then later on maintaining it. If the contribution is good, it offsets those costs, but oftentimes it is not the case. Don't get me wrong, there are countless brilliant people out there who are doing great work more or less for free in the way of contributing. I'm also very grateful for good contributions. Those contributions are the exception though, not the norm.

The fact is, most people can't write bug free code, that is also maintainable. It's a skill that takes years to hone. Even someone that is smart enough to understand all possible code paths and can prove it is bug free, doesn't automatically mean the code is written in a way that is easy to maintain.

Also, open source goes both ways. Anyone can submit, but maintainers can deny. Their project, their right.

Please remember, the bar has been set this high by successful projects.

One of the reasons Linux became the world's most used OS kernel was because of the high standard Linus maintained for his project. (Not saying I agree with his colorful word choices, but in my opinion most of the time he was 100% right about the PRs.)

That's why he calls himself benevolent dictator for life. The high standards must be maintained for the project to continue to be successful.
Software Kintsugi
I use Alacritty exclusively, and knowing that the maintainer is discerning makes me like it even more. I'm getting what I signed up for, which is a project which cares deeply about doing a few things very well. I think that an unstated implication of that ethos is that there will be plenty of things that you would like to do, but upon some amount of investigation don't see how to do well enough, so you don't do them and move on to devote your precious time and energy to other things related to your code, which remains an enjoyable place to work. That looks like the story of that ligatures PR.
> The solution is probably a blend of: pay teachers more, give them more autonomy, banish smartphones in the classroom, more accountability for abjectly-shitty parenting and a reduction of our total obsession over standardization of outcomes.

We are where parents chose to be with respect to education. Nothing more, nothing less.

Parents wanted accountability--so we have standardization of outcomes. Parents say they want autonomy and discipline--until you apply it to their child and then they sue you. Parents complain about taxes going to education--while teachers have to buy their own supplies (this particularly frosts me).

We are where decades of parents chose to be through their collective actions. The fact that they don't like the consequences of their actions is simply typical of modern society.
The article starts with "One of the big knocks on cryptocurrencies is that they’re a technology in search of a problem." and on finishing it... the same conclusion occurs.

Not a single possibility listed at the end is more specifically enabled by cryptocurrencies/NFTs, at least, more specifically than crowdfunding.

And, if it's about decentralization, why is there a need of platforms/marketplace? If that's truly decentralized, the network is the marketplace, not a specific platform.

If the technology is too complex/regulated that it needs proxy platforms, then, how is it fundamentally different than banks or big record labels?
Those that were infected and recovered from it do have the same freedoms as the vaccinated here in Germany by the way (for half a year after recovery, at least). They can acquire vaccination status with just a single jab during that half year.
We did, although my response would be that's because vaccines are wonderful. (And, for other diseases, because of improved sanitation and nutrition.)

True, but still one way I appreciate making C safer is by using poor man's Abstract Data Types with translation units.

For the use cases that are too expensive to use functions, macros can be used instead.

However that is only if C++ cannot be used at all, otherwise don't bother.
Hey, we allowed uploading Tailwind UI (as a ZIP archive) into our editor if you had a license and access to sources. Of course, we didn't sell access to their library.

We will open this feature to any UI library in the future. However, we put it on hold because (1) it supports just one format (ZIP archive with category -> components in separated HTML files), (2) development of our UI libraries is more important to us at this moment :)
بدر العزي – راحتي راحت
I’m not sure I buy this. Who can not get the vaccine but is also trying to access areas that require vaccination? The overlap seems small/non-existent. Do you have examples of cases where this might apply?
Thanks! And sorry to hear that...

> Yes, yes we can.

No, we can't.

Where Has All the Education Gone?

Cross-national data show no association between increases in human capital attributable to the rising educational attainment of the labor force and the rate of growth of output per worker. This implies that the association of educational capital growth with conventional measures of total factor production is large, strongly statistically significant, and negative.

The federal budget for education is about 4% of what the country spends on schools (and at the federal level the dept of education is also involved in university education as well).

So in practice federal involvement in education is mostly standing on the side shouting encouraging words, except where the federal government has some authority for other reasons (such as some nondiscrimination rules).

Both articles smack of viewpoints I've seen & heard circulated in right wing religious circles (e.g. my parents) for a long time now. I guess if nothing else it's good to know where people are getting these opinions from, both for general awareness and because the resulting discussion can prompt deeper insights - like in this comment section - but I agree it doesn't exactly seem to be in the spirit of HN.
