So that's not quite true. The CDC provides the estimate you're talking about which is what my post originally cites (~146mm Americans infected). That's their estimate based on the much smaller number of positive tests and hospitalizations, using their models about how many cases are missed by surveillance.
Lol, Congress couldn't even get a minimum wage increase with majority Democrats, there's no way anything else about the workweek is changing any time soon.
> If the phone doesn't turn on you can still queue up a wipe from Find My Device which would've prevented this.

That's assuming that a competent technician couldn't disable that feature. For example, it's hard to ensure that some software issue (eg: software/hardware interaction) has been resolved if you just wipe the device!

Holly Wu (she/her)

I've been doing one form or another of full-stack webdev for over a decade now (3 years in industry, 7+ as a hobby). Looking for positive-impact roles and unique challenges requiring unconventional solutions. I still love to code in my spare time, my latest major project being the compiler to a programming language of my own design: https://gitlab.com/dejawu/kythera
It's really a shame the wolfram language _isn't_ truly open source. It was my first introduction to a computer algebra system in college and I was able to do a lot of powerful stuff with it, all useless now since it's behind a paywall and all the things I would use it for are personal and/or open search-style research where I want other people to be able to use it.
This is a dangerous argument. There’s been a lot of public statements from the big tech firms about how data on phones is encrypted and that the devices are safe.

Resorting to “do not do X if you don’t want Y to happen” is a cop out and demonstrates a fundamental failure of technology doing what it says on the box.

Oh, excuse me. I thought that smell was Ethos Capital.
For my geographical area, I get paid what feels like a very good salary (enough that I no longer have to worry about money at all). If my company said “hey, we’ll pay you half as much and you only have to work 20 hours a week” I’d take it in a heartbeat, even though I’d have to start being more careful with money. Sadly, I don’t see that offer ever coming, even though I could totally do my job in half as much time with some creative meeting deletion.
Have you been reading my diary? :) I had an identical experience recently. In fact I half-wonder if maybe you and I worked at the same place!

Until he cashes out
I think a lot of the suggestions the parent comment suggests are orders of magnitude better savings than writing things by hand...

Perhaps writing things by hand has a questionable nostalgic allure of "keeping one honest" but beyond that I don't think it's super practical.
Wrong. Of course if you use a minifier you save bytes, it’s by definition. A decent built tool can still start from static files but also optimize them as much as possible. If there’s little CSS it might even just inline it.
I've said in another comment that I am extremely interested to know the outcome of this since I am a Pixel owner. It is concerning but right now it's unverified.
Pretty sure the “such a great product” is also just PR. I had a much easier time integrating with PayPal (of course, they have other issues not related to onboarding…), Stripe does seem to be better than Visa’s abysmal onboarding though.

You probably don’t want to hear this but: Kubernetes

If you have a relatively small project, Heroku may be a good place to start too.
In an ideal spherical cow world, having no minimum wage would work exactly as you describe. In the real world, that's you how get slavery. For many reasons, not everyone has a choice to turn down a $1/hr job.
They are perpetually 3-5 years away. This is why there is a shortage now. We've told an entire generation not to take those jobs, they're going to be automated anyway. 2021 arrives and still no FSD trucks, no robotized fast food, and no last mile drone delivery. Not only did these companies convince investors labor wasn't necessary, they also managed to convince labor labor wasn't necessary.
The reasoning behind testing software
If their DNS service goes down, I can transfer to another DNS in about 2h. I tested that. The bigger problem is if Cloudflare's AI bans my account and I lose access to their Registrar.

My hope is that Cloudflare is small enough that it still has human beings in control of their AI. Unlike Google's AI which can’t be bargained with, can’t be reasoned with, which doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or sympathy. I have friends at Google, but I don't have any confidence that they will be able to help when their Terminator strikes.

I'm in the process of de-Googlifying my digital life as much as possible. Getting out of Google Domains into Cloudflare was the first step. Setting up backup accounts and workflows that will continue work after a catastrophic Google AI termination can be a bit tricky.
In process queues don't offer the same capacity smoothing as a shared queue. I don't think most of those queues offer persistence either. They're really not equivalent, are they?
10 continuous days of work would be horrible for me, as a programmer, and would probably jeopardize the health and even lives of many blue collar workers. While I think flexible schedules are a good thing, the default for most people is already too many working days in a row.
Would windows Bitlocker work too? My issue is that Veracrypt requires you to mount a drive, while Bitlocke provides protection over the whole drive (barring your adversaries being Microsoft and/or the NSA).
Neat. How would this be used in edge infrastructure? And more broadly, what exactly is "edge infrastructure"?
Amazing how most of the replies of your comment and the other comments too are still victim blaming, not for taking or sharing the nudes but for being so naive to send a phone unwiped. There's no excuse for violating and exposing someone's private life like this, being tech unsavvy (or you know, not being able to wipe a dead phone) is absolutely not an excuse to shift the blame to the victim. We get it you're good, you're smart, you wouldn't have done such a stupid mistake... congrats, but honestly, who cares.
> I hear that many of the European countries have lower dev salaries than the US. So maybe better conditions, but possibly lower pay.

While arguably true, it's almost definitely not better conditions to blame. A more likely source is the massive and relatively homogenous US market, a culture open to immigration, and the huge reserves of capital sloshing about the country.
Mathematica is really good. If it were Open Source it might have a chance at competing with Jupyter and Python. As it isn't, nobody is going to build businesses around it and the community will be limited.

If they are right, it may make Wolfram more money, but it certainly makes Mathematica less successful.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, the company I work for shuts our offices down from the 24th to the 2nd. Engineers submit availability for on-call schedules, and get a gift card for each on-call day they're responsible for. I feel very spoiled, but I think this is generally a trend amongst west-coast tech companies?

I've had a similar experience at previous places, and it seemed like the rationale for the holiday shutdown was "we don't want to risk any downtime while lots of engineers are out and potentially unreachable if something breaks". All that is to say, if it's within your power to leave, the grass is potentially much greener elsewhere.
Lol, thank you very much for telling me. I find that I get shadow banned and outright banned on every social media site and forum. I genuinely don't understand why. It's usually for comments such as this one. (Shrug)

Is journalism now just taking somebody else's bad take and using couched language to imply but not state that it's true?
You can find free YouTube videos where trainers do many of the same sets shown in Darebee, so you can follow them and not think about it.
That sounds about right for the US. I don't know why we didn't just give everyone $2,000 to take the vaccine. Would have been more ethical.
You are poorly informed.

I think it's maybe rather that these processes and expectations can be quite different in different places, and naturally my views are based on my own experiences rather than my position as a single infallible global oracle :)

It certainly seems like cultural expectations of what constitutes an "offer" or a "reference" in the US is somewhat different from what I understand in the UK.

Regarding the EPA, I can imagine it not existing. In fact, EPA did not exist when some here were children.

The pollution solution is defending property rights. In the short term, the USA pollution solution is to offshore manufacturing pollution to other countries.
I mean from the perspective of an applicant, it’s irrelevant whether the habit of rescinding offers is due to malice or incompetence. The takeaway is clear: don’t apply to Stripe.
In a gist:

Customer source code and production secrets from build processes were vulnerable, but no abuse was found after a third-party forensics.

At my request, the provider donated $10,000 to the Electronic Frontier Foundation in place of a bounty. I insisted on making the disclosure public but agreed to the provider’s wish not to be named in the report.
This is something people can understand.

But even I struggled at times to get those pictures then onto a given pc.

I know what a filesystem and a driver is, so I can make it work, if something is missing. A layperson usually cannot.

Partly on purpose, one might say. They are supposed to stay in their walled gardens, where you transfer everything over the approved cloud way and can be thankful, if their data is accepted in another garden.
This is a really bleak way to look at digital devices and their role in the world. Should you only write things you want the world to read on a computer, and for everything else, just use pen and paper?
What's the point of going this route when things like React native exist for cross-platform dev? Lots more devs, documentation, industry-use, etc. in the React world. Serious question. Is it just performance?
Thanks for the write up! As someone starting a doctoral degree early next year, I greatly appreciate it
It may take a bit of extra time but one other positive of coderpad I found is that because it offers library-level auto-complete I noticed people relax a bit since they are not afraid I will ding them for not knowing some common method name or syntax.
I love reading about all of these exotic Raspberry Pi projects and people pushing the Raspberry Pi into applications far beyond what you'd expect.

But at the same time, I always hope that people recognize that these things are really not great solutions in general. This contraption idles at 15W (per the article) and pulls 24W during a benchmark. Within that power envelope you can pick up a more powerful tiny x86 board that takes up less space, probably costs less overall, and performs much better without requiring you to coordinate your project across 4 separate tiny computers.

The Pi is a lot of fun and the Raspberry Pi foundation has done an excellent job of bringing us powerful ARM processors at low price points, but the gap between Quad Cortex-A72 and even a cheap, low-power x86 board is still massive.

But on the other hand if you're doing this for learning and for fun, these things are awesome.

I am working for a Fortune500 as Security Architecture. I have experience in designing security architectures for physical and cloud (mainly AWS) datacenters. I usually review software architectures and application, performing threath modeling and risk based approach.
Even if I am not a full time coder, I can write code in Python and Go and I have experience in Docker and microservices. I would like to move to a more DevSecOps position.

As a personal side project, I run a (almost) automatic mailing list about security based on AWS Lambda.
> There's an interesting psychological process here that I don't think I've seen described before.

That psychological process is actually ever-present, except it just that we often do not notice it until it is explicitly pointed out, like when the older fish asks the younger fish: "how's the water?" in This is Water by DFW [1].

I remember encountering it a long time ago when I came across this pithy quote for the first time: "education can take a man to any height but character keeps him there".

It turns out that there's quite a few of these that have been codified into common English expressions:

"He fell to a new low"

"She was terminated at the peak of her career"

The reason why these sentences do not seem nonsensical to our brains is because we often equate reputation with ascending a (physical) height. When someone of high repute engages in questionable behavior, of course our brain naturally associates the consequence of such behavior as a fall--similar to any accidental descent from an elevated place.

There are a lot more eye-opening examples in Metaphors We Live By by George Lakoff et al [2].

Software engineer with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and over ten years of experience in several technologies and programming languages. There are two fields where I mainly act: (1) DevOps; from database administration and data modelling to back-end programming or front-end design all the way to orchestrated deployment with latest tech and (2) Standalone software; involves embedded development in restrict environments, blockchain applications mostly related to Parity's Substrate and plain command-line interfaces.

On the open-source side of things, I regularly contribute to several projects, helping and communicating with other developers. Take a look at the available coding portfolio in my GitHub profile at https://github.com/c410-f3r where most public collaborations in the last five years were more focused on the Rust Programming Language ecosystem.

Over 40 certified courses have been completed and nine professional certifications that covers a wide range of areas were obtained from different organizations, e.g., Linux Foundation and the Blockchain Training Alliance. Learning is very important to keep up with both old and new technologies, my newest certification is the Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect and more certifications will be earned over time.

In my last work experience I refactored, architected and developed many key parts of a Parachain always aiming for security, readability, robustness and maintainability, which contributed to two successful marketing campaigns. In addition to all this and to finish, I also created and deployed a brand new Relay Chain like Kusama or Polkadot for custom usage and testing.

Perhaps they do, and that is good. I found the editorial from the American Math Society at https://www.ams.org/notices/200710/tx071001279p.pdf to have been a persuasive contribution to that open discussion. (FYI, one author has spent years building SageMath.)

Ask HN: Definitive source for real estate statistics?
I am considering buying a house or multi family property here in CA and would like to know what sources for real estate statistics you are all using, and what your thoughts are on what the best, unbiased sources are to do your homework? I do not want to rely on what realtors say as they always say "the market is going up" and "pay cash over asking price".
Yeah true. I guess what I'm wondering is whether explicit support for GPU compute shaders makes it more of a viable product. Supposedly WebGPU is based on the new Vulkan-based API instead of OpenGL, which should allow for much greater performance. I'm not really knowledgeable enough to know for sure, though.
July: 65% vax/35% unvax, 17%/83%, 17/65 = 0.26, 83/35 =
2.37

October: 85%/15%, 60%/40%, 60/85 = 0.7, 40/15 = 2.67

In other words, vaccinated seniors were more likely to develop Covid in October, several months after most of them were vaccinated, than they were in July, but still WAY less likely than unvaccinated seniors, whose likelihood appears to have increased a bit over that timespan.

So yes, being vaccinated does not mean you’re free to act like we did two years ago. It does mean that you’re still far less likely to catch and pass on Covid than your unvaccinated peers, just not as vanishingly unlikely as you were before your immunity started wearing off. I’d love to see these same numbers now that a lot of older Germans have gotten their boosters.
