I understand you don't like rust. That's fair it's got pros and cons and some cool stuff and warts.

What i don't understand is the sheer level of anger it brings out in people. As one of those angry folks: what makes you so upset?
I don't like that they were removed but that they were used in brigading demonstrates a problem and I can see why some PM considered "fixing" it.

I think the more elegant fix would be to temper the downvotes depending on the context (e.g. reduce the impact of a sudden spike in increased viewing to downvote conversion).
> Why would you want to control a system with 2-3 weeks of additional lag in your input data when case numbers (a thing that is somewhat easy to measure) correlates so well future deaths?

Because case numbers are actually not easy to measure.

I'm basing this of my personal experience working in a German healthcare company, we took up testing during the pandemic; All the tests we do are on unvaccinated people.

That's because unvaccinated people are the only ones who need mandatory, and up to date, tests for pretty much everything from the barber to eating at a restaurant. Recently, it's become so strict that unvaccinated people even need a test to use public transport.

Vaccinated people do not need these mandatory tests, I have no clue who tests them and at what intervals, it certainly ain't the public testing stations, as those are now literally swarmed by the unvaccinated and nobody would go there if they didn't have to.

Which means that in practice we have a massive sampling bias going on; Somebody who's unvaccinated will be very likely to get flagged as positive very quickly, while somebody who's vaccinated would need to decide on their own to do a test.
Off topic but as someone trying to get into GPU architecture with minimal graphics programming experience, can anyone recommend good resources for understanding the terminology related to a typical graphics processing pipeline (e.g. shaders, textures etc)?
As long as it is only known to colleagues, it is all good, but if word gets out (and the more people know about it and/or use it, the likelier it is), then they may get more work to do and such. Maybe the coworkers do not give a damn either way.
Not OP, but I think it’s more in context of using websites in ways that weren’t originally intended by the original devs. One small example is using hidden internal APIs to show dislikes on YouTube. Another example might be something like figuring out how to bypass advertising on a website to use it, or reverse engineering a site to get the raw data, etc etc…

If some of these workarounds are published and become popular, then there is a risk the original devs would shut it all down, so the optimal strategy is to fly under the radar and tell no one, thus maximizing benefit for yourself even though it’s clear others could potentially benefit.
Of course measurements are always imperfect. The point is that an objective reality exists that can be measured. Which piece of rock we use to compare other masses to does not change that.
Moderna had more time between doses too.
However doctors cannot currently order Comirnaty "directly" from anywhere except from the government-controlled distribution system, which operates along the same basic distribution lines that are also used for other vaccines and medicine products, but is governed by special rules (for example the government can limit the number of doses a single doctor can order if demand outstrips supply).

And when it comes to ordering from the manufacturer, whether it's Pfizer or BioNTech, AFAIK nobody except nation states can do that. They just don't accept anyone else as customers - with very rare, but notable exceptions (there was this occurrence where the company TSMC ordered some millions of doses of Comirnaty as a proxy for the Taiwan government because some weird Chinese intervention, of which I didn't fully understand the exact mechanism how it worked, prevented Taiwan from ordering directly).

> The natural immune protection that develops after a SARS-CoV-2 infection offers considerably more of a shield against the Delta variant of the pandemic coronavirus than two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, according to a large Israeli study that some scientists wish came with a “Don’t try this at home” label. The newly released data show people who once had a SARS-CoV-2 infection were much less likely than never-infected, vaccinated people to get Delta, develop symptoms from it, or become hospitalized with serious COVID-19.

You wrote: <<the inventors and founders of the company are Turkish immigrants to Germany.>>

I double checked on Wiki. There are two founders -- husband and wife. While both have Turkish heritage, only one is a Turkish immigrant. To be fair, I agree with the overall sentiment of your comment!

Husband: Uğur Şahin was born in Turkey, and immigrated to Germany at age 4

Wife: Özlem Türeci was born in Germany. Her parents immigrated to Germany from Turkey.

During the Cyprus financial crisis, on 25 March 2013, bank account balances over €100K were seized. BTC surged 87% that day, and 700% that month. [0,1,3]

When Greece was freezing / slowing bank withdrawals during its financial crisis in 2015, BTC price climbed.

IIRC BTC also jumped when Russia was getting involved in Ukraine in 2014.

It's not a perfect hedge, but I do believe bitcoin could be valuable if the world/governments go (partly) to shit.

Yeah this is puzzling. REST is much closer to Unix than Windows.

"Uniform interface constraint" basically means using very few verbs (GET, POST) on nouns or "files".

This is in contrast to a more highly typed RPC style.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25172600/rest-what-exact...

I'd go even further than that and say the web is a straightforward extension of Unix (basically adding URLs, which are amazing, and data driven UI)

... And I'll go even further and say that the Unix-y design CAUSED the success of the web, and if it were more like Windows, it wouldn't have scaled to be truly "world wide" !
Events that originate from inside the house go into the RabbitMQ. RabbitMQ is the central bus for all sorts of things. In the process of diagnosing that latency I found that part was pretty fast.
It's a functional feature.
You perhaps have never worked in a system where compile times are measured in minutes. There is a point where the feedback loop is so long it’s very hard to keep in your head what exactly you were trying to accomplish with the last change. Getting that OODA loop small enough means flow can happen. Flow allows you to do in a very short time what would otherwise have taken you hours.

Do not underestimate the time and cognitive savings of realtime feedback.
I'm not into modelling, I would imagine that, depending on how good the vaccines work against variants, even that could be modelled quite well.

For me, the threshold when Covid becomes an acceptable fact of life is when hospitals can work normally without any measures in place. We seem to be quite far from that.
I mean, I pay nothing for mine. I already pay tax to fund our health service, which purchases many drugs from many vendors for many diseases. This is just one more, and by all accounts it's comparatively cheap for the overall cost-savings when it keeps the vast majority of people out of the hospitals.
But that isn't what that 'poem' is about.

Agreed, especially if they would think 10 minutes about the values they allegedly espouse. There will always be something offensive in a culture that is benign or even welcomed in another. Their model is some artifical neutral culture mirroring diplomatic or corporate cultures.

Bitcoin is one of many cryptocurrencies, one that becomes increasingly less relevant with each day.
Completely true - though I’m generally looking in the Blues, Wallowas, or occasionally the east side of the Cascades.
Traffic distribution is basically never uniform. Unless maybe if you've only got very very few products/pages (like just 1-5), though that definitely changes long before you reach 10_000 items.

And for the majority of mid to big websites - visitors/buyers will look only at minority of products/pages. Let's say it's like Pareto 80/20 percent principle. Though if not 90/10 - for tourism/travel/flights - because places like London, Paris [France, not dozens of them in USA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_(disambiguation)], Rome, Las Vegas, Ibiza ...etc are much, much more interesting/visited than say Anchorage/Alaska.

And unless you've got uniform spread of visitors/customers around the world - which I'm thinking that even Facebook/Google/Amazon don't really have (because Flipkart/WeChat/etc are used more in India/Chrina/etc). You're likely to see a daily (per hour), weekly (per work vs weekend days) pattern /where west is different than Israel and predominantly Muslim countries/ - the min/max difference even within one day/week is easily 2 to 5 times.

All of that is to say that by far majority of your revenue will likely be during workday afternoon in your target audiences time-zone, and from those 10_000 items it will probably be <=100 that are seen/bought by majority of your visitors.
I think there is an expert vacuum that was filled by opportunists and enabled politicians to decide non-sensical measures. Compare that to the situation in Taiwan, where the vice-prime Minister is an epidemiologist.

Since that explanation is somewhat terse, and I don't know anything about security, let me ask a few questions.

Am I right that the failure mode spiped protects against is someone finding an exploit that allows them to bypass ssh logins that are set to (for example) public key authentication? So if one is not worried about this, there is no point?

Further, am I correct that what spiped does in this scenario is add a second layer of encryption, so that one must first bypass spiped in order to attempt an exploit against the ssh daemon? Then, in effect, spiped acts as a small, isolated, and auditable "condom" that can be used with any public-facing service?
Cognitive bias doesn't exist in perception, it's interpretation, and attributions are even thoretization. Difficulty of classification is not a problem of perception, it's a problem of classification. If we can't name the color, it doesn't mean we don't see the color as it is.

His exact words are, "IMHO, while I'd rather be doing C# programming any day of the week, PowerShell is more approachable for the vast majority of Windows sysadmins out there."

IE, the vast majority of SYS admins aren't capable of approaching C#. Fully unsubstantiated heresay. If they can learn the cryptic nightmare that is power shell, they can certainly learn C#.

Yeah, the leap here is that OP assumes the dislike change is inherently bad, or universally disliked outside of some minority at Youtube that also doesn't read HN. Why would money need to be the main motivator?
Yes - and using fairly different criteria, with little emphasis on things like pedestrian protection or various safety systems (like automatic emergency braking). Which is where the current model lost big time as those are not available for it (due to cost reasons - the car is so expensive already that fitting some sophisticated automation would make it unsellable).
Welp, I'm not buying a MBP for the foreseeable future no matter how good they could be if the product line were turned around.

How does the y-websocket handles network failure ?

Does it autoreconnet? On reconnection, does it sync back changes that happened on or since failure ? Can you notify the user when it's happening ?
I feel like you must know this, but the convention back in the day was a UNIX server for an organization, that would handle essential tasks like email, that everyone could log in to and have access to common UNIX tools, and that would automatically serve "/home/$USER/public_html" as static HTML web apps under example.com/~$USER.

So, IT sets the server up once and maintains it and provisions and deprovisions accounts, but everything else is self service. There's no need for IT to be involved when somebody wants to "launch a new web page". It was a pretty nice system for what it was.
This sparked a memory of an internship I had where I was given an air compressor and had to go blow out machines in various school computer labs for a few weeks. In hindsight I should have worn an N95, they were nasty. They all worked, though.

They can also improve monetary yields. On mature processes, the yields are probably higher than demand - cores are being disabled because they have more buyers for a 32 core than a 48 core chip.

If they can sell another 16 cores at no incremental cost post sale, that's attractive. As long as it doesn't prevent that customer from buying a whole new 48 core chip from them, anyway.
Friendly heads-up, your SSL cert shows as untrusted to me.
But it still sounds like you're saying the Kalman filter updates the state covariance matrix based on the measurement, which I'm taking to mean the nominal value of a measurement.
How does FerretDB represent documents in Postgres? JSONB, or something custom?

How does it handle the mismatch between jsonb and bson? In particular:

* more scalar types, including blobs. One hack I could think of is using ISO 8859-1 encoding instead of UTF-8, which can act as a pseudo-blob.

* preserved field order

Sorry your not discussing this in good faith.

Yes unemployment skyrocketed in the early 80’s followed by the biggest economic expansion in decades.

The 70’s were a morass of stagflation. To argue Regans policies didn’t bring the economy out of that mess is just being dishonest.
A lot of items I used to buy on Amazon have become so spammed with ads and non-purchasable products that I've given up. The big ones I've noticed:

- bulk gum

- my favorite brand of cheese snack cracker

- bulk mints

- bar soap

- toilet paper

The other day I noticed that the search order wouldn't even change when I used the dropdown to change it from "featured" to "low to high". Someone actually broke the sort order of search results in a change, and didn't even notice it. Or maybe there's so many ads at the top of the result that the search order doesn't have an impact any more. But I literally could not find any instances of the item I was looking for that were purchasable at all.
>> Really what Microsoft should have done is to make those plugins available to C#

True, though some of them aren't. I ran into one recently...setting the metric value for an ip interface (not a route, an interface). Powershell has that, C# does not, in any way that I can find.
I think there's really a collision between your conspiracy theory view of the world where getting inoculated is equivalent to being 'tagged, tracked and validated"

Vaccinated people can get sick and transmit the virus, true, but it's much less likely that they will. People with STIs can also transmit the virus, so we wear condoms to make the risk of transmission substantially less. If your sexual partner is unwilling to wear a condom or unwilling to have sex with you if you wear one, you can just choose to not have sex with them and the risk of transmission goes to nothing. That choice doesn't exist with work. If my co-worker chooses to remain a massive public health risk, my chances of catching COVID-19 go up quite a bit. I can't choose to just not be around you and the rest of anti-vaxxers. Not to mention there are people who have legitimate medical reasons who are unable to get vaccinated who are put at substantially higher risk by being forced to be around conspiracy theory anti-vaxxers.
How does that in any way prove your point? What if all the measuring devices, their history, this very conversation, what if all of that was a hallucination?

How would you know? How do you propose we definitely prove it isn't?
> Since we're talking about two different points in time that are nearly a decade apart, lets be clear about the context here. spiped didn't exist when that article was written (or if it did, it certainly wasn't mature). Back then fail2ban was a pretty good recommendation for the domain in question. Which was my point.

That is simply not true. spiped 1.0 was released in 2011, 2 years before the article was written. And it was used in production on tarsnap's infrastructure since it is the same author. It had 4 minor releases by the time the article was written. [1] And it was in debian by the end of the year 2013. [2]

(1) If you are letting people code their own event handlers you wouldn't trust them to run them on a tiny machine like that.

(2) A system like that probably wants to be able to respond to events both inside and outside the house. For instance, turn on your lights remotely with a phone. A cloud component is the reliable way to do that.

(3) At the time I couldn't find decent Zigbee or ZWave hubs other than the SmartThings hub. The cloud dependence is silly, but other than that the hub is great and connects to almost everything. I could go with a Kickstarter hack or try to roll my own but I don't think it would be much better.
Capitalism is about allowing ownership of property and profit from labor. Markets work best when there are a range of restrictions and taxes for services and subsidies that tune outcomes. Universal access to education, for example, is extremely expensive, but the benefits that come with having a literate society make the investment worthwhile.
Also consider that the new NCAP ratings aren't about real safety. You can only get a maximum of 3 starts if you don't include nanny systems like lane assist, front assist, side assist, auto braking.
For me this makes the NCAP rating useless as i don't care about such systems and would prefer a car that doesn't have them. I'd happily drive a 0 star Zoe.
No. I think people are deliberately misusing a word to imply totalitarian control.
