Many immunocompromised people have made personal choices that led to that situation. I do not see why people should be forced to take experimental non-sterilizing vaccines that don't even provide herd immunity, just to pretend that it saves this group.

If you take a forced vaccine and get a vaccine injury, no one will care about you. You'll end up in Hartz 4 and that's it. There won't be any HN thread in support of you, because it isn't mainstream.
It should have been.

Well, This comes before that

So lack of interest to overcome the technical changes seems more appropriate.
Ask HN: When is it time to look for a new job?
I am currently a full stack developer but I'm barely working throughout the week. This past month I've probably put in about 3-4 hours a week and its been like that for the past 6 months. Don't get me wrong I'm basically getting paid to barely do any work and I have a ton of free time but I feel like I'm not living up to my potential and not even growing as a developer. Ive thought about going the freelance/contract route since I have all this time but I'm not even sure where to start.

What would you do in my situation?
Since Rust crates aren't hierarchal or namespaced, isn't have 200-300 separate AWS crates kind of asking for people to make up fake new ones and/or misspell existing?

Question is, how much are you going to decrease your risk of hospitalization by force-vaccinating the rest of the unvaccinated population, given that the vaccine doesn't really do much to stop the spread with delta?

If the vaccine was sterilizing - i.e. vaccinated people wouldn't be contagious and spread it symptomatically or asymptomatically - then every vaccination would count. But given the current state vaccination is just going to reduce symptoms and ultimately reduce hospital capacity. Anyone who is in danger (or scared) of Covid can get vaccinated. There's little point in vaccinating children (or even non-consenting adults, although this depends on hospital capacity).

Also, that chart is based on averages. Unless you have co-morbidities (you're fat, have diabetes, heart condition, whatever) the risk is way lower.

You're a 48 year old male? If you're healthy the risks are way lower than the chart indicates (off the top of my head maybe 1% hospitalization, <0.1% death?).
How do they stop companies from buying consumer GPUs? I have used some minor firmware tweaks to unlock full commercial capabilities out of Nvidia GPUs in the past. Perhaps that is against the tos and a large company couldn't get away with it like an individual can?

Going through my stock app the other day I thought Nvidia market cap had to be a typo… since when is a graphics card company one of the biggest companies in the world? 800B is 4x the market cap of Intel, not that far off Apple. How many people realize this?
>>>every kid over the age of 7 when I was in school knew what a google was or better yet, a googleplex. This was also in the 90s so it predates the search engines popularity by a good bit.

Same here, as someone who was in high school in the late 90s and switched from AskJeeves/Yahoo/Altavista to Google around ~2000, part of the appeal was "Somebody named a search engine after the biggest number meme we know? AND it's fast? AND it gives good results? Lemme check this out..."
>We’ve been to that particular heaven, and most people didn’t like it.

Many of us prefer that heaven to the hell of centralized control, censorship and commercialism that we have now!
Typically the “mixing of the cards” is done via a one-way function (e.g., modular arithmetic), making it impractical to fake and impractical to reverse.
It's wild how we can be vaccinated with two doses and still be considered an anti-vaxxer. Is this not doublespeak?
The issue with dbt is now folks end up needing to spin up the entire repository to run a bunch of sql queries. The issue is this is a tool that’s targeted at teams that don’t have rigorous engineering backgrounds so it’s bound to be used in suboptimal ways. If the dbt team can do things about it, it might be even better.

Or, they realized they're terrible and instead of trying to be terrible again they're trying to be not terrible this time by acquiring people that actually know what they're doing? A good ARM Tegra sounds like a product that would benefit the market and thus consumers.
I just don't get it, why is that allowed?

There are clear guidelines on how many decibels for how long damages ears, and noise is simple to measure.

I've been to concerts which were ear-splitting even up in the bleachers. It's just crazy to think how loud it would be right at the stage.

I just don't understand how venues don't get sued into oblivion, and I wish they would because it's too goddamn loud to enjoy.
It's still served by the site and I doubt most are interested or capable in auditing software to perform routine online tasks.

Again, I'm fine with it being a fire-able offense if you can't telecommute. That's a business policy and not a state mandate with punishment for noncompliance. I say this as someone who supports vaccines and is vaccinated.

As far as schooling goes, the infrastructure has been set up for tele-schooling already, should someone choose to not be vaccinated. There are inconveniences with choices, of course. I wore a mask and stayed at home to "stop the spread". It was an inconvenience, but it was a choice I made. The right choice, I think, but it wasn't a choice made at the end of a gun where I'd be put in a cage if I didn't comply.
Ok, I'm good with that.

> This seems to constitute ill or malign intent. Why would you go and bother the property of another person? What is the intent behind this move?

This question is hard to understand. You don't know why competing militaries would behave this way?

The OP doesn't discuss trust; it informs you about such activity and the US militaries desire to counter it. Should they do nothing? Do you think China and Russia will stop if the US never acts in its own defense? Putin and Xi will suddenly decide we are all friends?
Github should have some type of account lock feature for emergencies though. It would be a simple and straightforward solution to the problem.

How does that sound like it might be similar? I'm very confused how someone could think this is at all like what I described. To say "not even close" would be an understatement. It's the exact opposite in every way.

Now I want to go write some elisp . . .

But for the moment, I'll let you know that C-x 3 will keep splitting an emacs "frame" (window) in half vertically until you hit something like 10 columns. Just need to write the elisp for the rest of your feature request.
We’ve recently introduced dbt, fivetran and snowflake and it has been amazing on many levels. Speed of development along with CI/CD has been fantastic. Clarity of thought about organizing our work has helped with the more junior and platform specific people.

Before I got into it I was sceptical because I was thinking It’s just SQL and SQL is pretty easy and straightforward. It breaks bad habits in DW development.

I’m not sure I still get why but it has been one of the few things Ive seen in a long time in this area that has been a big jump in capabilities. There is so much more confidence on my team. We are moving much faster. We can just get on with delivering without having to undo and think of everything is precious or dangerous to change.

It took some hands on work and getting over the initial mind bend to get there but I wouldn’t go back to what we had. I would likely only make my next move if they had a similar setup in place or were open to change.

I'm kinda curious what the direction they intended to go in to add more modern operating system features to OS 9.

I can see a space for something that's largely a DSL with restricted syntax for defining objects, but offers hooks and escapes into code, itself with syntax and abstractions designed to be as graspable as possible, for defining behavior. You could give it to designers and let them focus mostly on building games, not on learning a general-purpose language - think something like Inform 7, but with a different UX target.
That works once your search engine is more widely used, but not a lot of sites are going to register with a niche search engines. Many users on the other hand really want a search engine like this and would be willing to invest some time.
I had a similar situation a few years ago and had the same feelings. I was a little burnt out and gave the org a ton of work over the years, so I enjoyed the down time doing side projects and gaming. Then after a year or so, I found a new job.

If you're looking to chill for a bit, this is your best opportunity. As long as you're not lying to anyone, I don't think it crosses any ethical boundaries.
This is great.

Have to say, after reading several tutorials on different languages that allow you to build zk proof circuits, it still seems very difficult to encode the problem a priori into them such that the result is useful. For example, using them in cryptocurrency seems tricky because you often have to encode the actors involved (by way of their addresses) in advance when you put the zkSNARK on the chain, which makes that less useful.

I really enjoyed Cairo tutorials which have similar concepts.

You don't want to burn all that plastic, not without a gas mask at least. But hey, recreational axe throwing by the hour is apparently a thing and so also are places where you literally go and pay to break stuff, I think there's a niche in the intersection of those where angle grinders and shitty chairs both fit. Just want to make sure your PI and liability cover is good.
Hmm, IAMNAM, but it looks like what happened is that the model automatically learned some nontrivial structure to a mathematical problem.

Get a standing desk and put on something with a beat. Same style, but it's better for your spine and you don't need fidget toys for when you're pegging your CPU.
Similar things happen regularly between competing militaries in more atmospheric situations. Russia flies planes near or into NATO airspace; China flies and sails near Taiwan and various neighbors. The US spies everywhere and challenges Chinese claims to the South China Sea. Planes take dangerously close approaches to other planes and as we know well, cyber attacks happen constantly.

I wonder how the orbital activities described in the OP compare. Are they more or less consequential? Are the rules of engagement as mature? Are these just run-of-the-mill encounters?

> you don't really think your front door lock will keep someone out that really want in, right?

I recently had the - unfortunate - opportunity to put this to the test. The house I live in has the highest grade burglary protection that you can still buy for normal money (courtesy of the previous owner). It still only took me 35 minutes to break into it when I accidentally closed the door behind me when there was nobody else home. This kind of surprised me, because I didn't have access to any tools at all, just the stuff that was laying around in the garden (some sticks and a little bit of steel wire). And all that without breaking anything, if that constraint would not have been there the 35 minutes would have been reduced to 30 seconds, tops.

Later I figured out three other ways to get in without any damage, but most of those would have cost a bit more time.
Hi Beng, interesting read.

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.

While we're on this topic from another website (not Airbnb) my family booked a week long stay at what we assumed was a house dedicated to holiday stays (and not someone's actual home).

Turns out the house is also listed on AirBnB and someone does live there (food in the fridge, stuff in drawers, locked bedrooms).

I think the person who booked it must've missed some detail, but we assumed because we specifically didn't use Airbnb, that we weren't going to be staying in someone's actual home.
Exactly what we've been doing for 2+ years at my job.

It's amazing.

Snowflake is amazing, but watch out for search optimization costs (it's great for append only), left joins taking FOREVER (avoid left joins as much as possible for large datasets).

and

> the effort they need to put in to refute bullshit is often of an order of magnitude greater than what is required to produce the bullshit in the first place (Brandolini, 2014)
I don't see why looking at something closely is evidence of "malign intent." After all, the whole point of spy satellites is to look closely at other countries. You could say that it is risky, because there could be a collision, but that is quite different from malign intent, and this risk can be greatly mitigated.
YTMND is a whole family of sites/pages with the same basic approach of the original but different messages. ytmnd.com appears to still index them.

> You need to be able to upgrade parts in isolation while keeping the majority working without touching it.

having no slack means you get told about this problem during compile time, rather than having the need for an experienced developer who understands the entire system and is able to do the above without the help of a compiler.
> Whose culture is right? What is right in the eyes of the law?

Perhaps I’m the only one who feels this way based on the number of pro-China posts, but a Chinese hegemony would likely be a world of censorship and social credit. Compared to a flawed US democracy I’ll take the US democracy every time.

I managed to force this data to sort-of work by using a pygmy goat at 40-50cm tall, and a mallard deck at 50-65cm long (even larger than the site suggests). So, sure.

But if you use a more typical domestic goat, like an Irish Goat, you get a height of 80-90cm. The length is even longer.
Honestly if it was just the walk in it would be, the couple was pretty funny about it. However they were effectively without a place to stay at 11pm in NYC during the winter.

They managed to book a hotel, but it was an awkward 2 hours to say the least while they called around.

What really set me off was that the door code was just completely public, so anyone that had stayed there in the past who knows how long could just walk right in.

Nope. The far out suburbs. If it wasn’t for my job being near a city, I’d have moved even farther to the rural boonies. Now that remote work is getting normalized it’s tempting. To me, the idea of a SFH in the city is nonsensical. The whole point is getting away from having people everywhere and having your own place you don’t have to share walls, sounds, and drama with strangers.

One of the major considerations for me when I bought was “how likely is it urban development will reach this far out in my lifetime?”
