It's not a requirement to support all of them, unless there's some radical change in the landscape of the web I imagine clients will continue to support HTTP/1.1 for a long time to come.
Strange, right? So much focus on edge cases.
I also experienced an irregular heartbeat for several months after receiving the Moderna vaccine (June, 2021) up to this month (December, 2021). It seems to be getting better, but is accompanied by a mild pain, tightness in the chest and shallow breath. This is despite regular diet, exercise and otherwise normal health. I am 31 years old.
>Physical: you force yourself to do things, you don't feel anything but suffering

Not necessarily. There are physical changes when you exercize which also help with a physically-induced depression. The same is true for diet.

Just because it's psysical as opposed to situational doesn't mean it's just up to drugs and drugs alone to cure it.
I mean coins issued by a mint with a reputation known further than its customers. I'm fond of US Mint silver eagles myself. There's a lot of "bullion" coins out there aimed at panic and ignorance, some of them aren't even full weight alloys.

There's also folks selling sacks of "silver quarters" and other old circulated coins with silver content... These are dross that's been picked over for value already. There's folks that will cheerfully sell them for 3x the face value of the coins tho.
Ask HN: Statistics on children with severe Covid reactions
My 12 year old daughter has covid-19 with a fever of 40.1 celsius (before putting down the fever with medicine), the doctor says she doesn't need to be looked at closer since statistically very few children of her age die or suffer permanent problems from the infection.

I'm thinking this sounds like a categorical error, in that it should be very few children of her age suffer any negative effects whatsoever, but once you have 40 degrees fever, lose sense of smell and taste and so forth, it should be taken as seriously as if someone of my age was suffering the same.

But I can't really prove this idea, so does anyone have resources whereby I can figure out if it is as I think, or if the doctor's statement about the statistics are correct?

on edit: He of course wants to check on her in a few days to see if she should go to the hospital, but since she has been lousy all week and went to 40 today I think it is today she should be going.
The much more interesting quote is of the magnitude of events. COVID is much more likely to cause myocarditis:

“We estimated an extra two (95% confidence interval (CI) 0, 3), one (95% CI 0, 2) and six (95% CI 2, 8) myocarditis events per 1 million people vaccinated with ChAdOx1, BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273, respectively, in the 28 days following a first dose and an extra ten (95% CI 7, 11) myocarditis events per 1 million vaccinated in the 28 days after a second dose of mRNA-1273. This compares with an extra 40 (95% CI 38, 41) myocarditis events per 1 million patients in the 28 days following a SARS-CoV-2 positive test”
But it's getting closer with each pass, and that distance will be down to 4cm by 2025.
>Let's say you want to add a button somewhere that hides/shows another widget.

That's a good case. This is purely UI state, right? (we don't store it on the server).

For UI state we still need to depend on prop-drilling or State Management solutions.

In the article I'm mainly talking about the Data which exist on Backend (as you can also see from all the pictures). In my experience such Server data is 90-95% of all data in most UI applications and that data contributes the most to the complexity.

Pure UI state is often just a fraction of the the whole State and is's often synchronous, so managing it should not be complex. So this kind of coupling will still exist.

To clarify, I do not say Widgets should be 100% independent. We do not achieve complete decoupling. But moving Server Data under control of Widgets gives us closer to this.
The benchmarks are not suitable to reach the conclusion that HTTP/3 is fast (or faster than HTTP/2). When you run such benchmarks, you choose a very fixed parameter vector (bandwidth, latency, link conditions that impact packet loss, payload shapes etc.). Running the same benchmark against a differently chosen parameter vector may result in the complete opposite conclusion.

Additionally, the Internet is not a static system but a dynamic one. To say something is "fast", means that it should be fast for most people in most conditions. Sinle-link benchmarks are not feasible.

I.e. in a traffic jam I will be very fast when I use the turn-out/emergency lane. But only as long as I am the only one doing it.
KWin is great, as are Dolphin, the 'System Settings' GUI, and many other KDE applications. But for the life of me I cannot understand the praise of Plasma. It crashes or otherwise breaks regularly for me (for instance, my autohiding panel will sometimes disappear completely, forcing me to kquitapp5/kstart5 plasmashell to get it back) Edit mode is a usability nightmare, I feel like I need to be super careful about where I move my mouse while using it because otherwise it does things I didn't intend with errant mouse hovers. And while it may not be the fault of plasmashell itself, many of the plasmoids are broken, janky, or generally just not very good. While I use KDE, I try to avoid all the plasma stuff as much as possible.
AFAIK HTTP/3 doesn’t send data out-of-order within a single stream any more than TCP does. So if you want a large file to be streamed with head-of-line blocking you just don’t send multiple range requests for it.
Same, I first went to my doctor about this 6 months ago now and only just now have they acknowledged it might be myopericarditis. Anxiety has been discussed but it is unlikely as it gets worse with exercise.

I’m still waiting on an echocardiogram after 5 months.
It is true that you might not get Covid-19 any time soon. But depending on where you live the chances might be quite high in the next months. At least that is the conclusion I draw for myself, living in Germany, considering the likely immunity evading behavior of the omicron variant, its growth rate in other countries, and the unwillingness of a lot of people to follow simple hygiene rules and social distancing.
And your point is?

The Wikipedia article on Standing Wave Ratios [1] has more on this topic.

How can COVID infections be over reported? They are obviously underreported in the total population due to the limitations of testing. Is the over-reporting risk a matter of how they adjusted their data in this study?
> you're better off taking your chances on the vaccine

I hate this kind of advice. It is like nutritional advice. "eat less omega 6", etc. None of it applies to any one person. What if I don't interact with humans and live on an island? What if I am a certain age, etc.

I'd be super interested in the data on this - breaking down these pro athlete issues by

- who's vaccinated and hasn't had a positive PCR test

- who's vaccinated and has had a positive PCR test

- who's unvaccinated

Until that is clear, all these stories are basically clickbait. These issues could be caused by covid, the vaccines, or both. We just don't know.
I personally don’t get bored when a tool is “too simple”, but when it forces me to do things by hand that the machine should be able to do. Like manually specializing a generic concept. I didn’t become a programmer out of love for repetitive tasks!

If you already had Covid, should you get vaccinated?
Worth noting that people misunderstand baseline (baseload) requirements too. Solar+batteries and some pump storage and wind are very nearly statistically able to meet baseload in most places.

Small gas plants might be needed to fill the gap for a period of time but there's no gap for large scale non renewable power sources (coal, oil, nuclear or large gas) that's big enough to make economic sense.
> Massive battery installations plus solar are already cheaper than operating an existing natural gas peaker plant in California

Aren't natural gas prices pretty high currently ? And with many countries moving away from gas in their electricity production, or at least moving it to peak-only, the price will go down.

Furthermore, batteries with what capacity? I highly doubt they're of the size required to sustain multi-week storm/bad weather events, even for the rarity they'd be in sunny California, le alone the rest of the US.

And from a globally strategic point of view, isn't it better to focus battery capacity on decarbonising sectors such as transportation ( cars, trucks, even trains apparently ( i still think electrifying the network is a better idea overall, but i can see how it'd be cheaper upfront to just add a battery car)) instead of "wasting" TWhs of battery capacity for long term storage.
> but I definitely think governments wouldn't tell you the truth if it did

Think a bit more about this. How many countries, how many people, how many hospitals you would have to silence to make that happen.

Also with respect to the football player. As far as I can tell it's been going around quite long and people are just noticing it more due to some highly televised event.

You might be interested to learn that there is no requirement to leave your navigating finger on the track pad. No need to pivot your wrist at all. Pick it up and move it around as much as you want only comfortable distances.

You are obviously used to the three finger way, and to each his own. But for me, having it described as “it's the equivalent of clicking-and-dragging with a mouse” makes me wonder why not just click and drag? But who knows? I’ll have to try it and see if I like it.
To be fair, this is 100% part of a not-so-secret plot by Google to sell ads more efficiently by making web browser connections faster.
Nope - it was a total waste of time.
I am always amazed by new stuff claiming to be faster when the old stuff has worked perfectly since computers and networks were hundreds of times less performant.

It seems to me just like another excuse to add complexity and to create more bloated websites.

The Google homepage is 1.8 MB at initial load for an image, a field and 3 links, all the other major web operators are not better. Seriously, would they do such pages if they cared for being fast?

[EDIT] For those not liking my comment, I should have said that it is in line with the conclusion of the article: "In general, the more resources your site requires, the bigger the performance improvement you’ll see".
I am just questioning the benefit to help the inflation of website traffic, in the end the service is not better, just always heavier (the Google example above is just an illustration).
Wait, it's not about a new HTTP, but about replacing TCP? Isn't that a big deal? When did OP's browser start supporting QUIC?
Does that matter? Android could switch to Fuchsia and there would barely be a way to tell.

Any server you contact can run whatever it pleases and you'll be none the wiser (unless you get a web server error or go spelunking).

The kernel is a very unimportant part of it. So while Linux with a capital-L has "won", the free/open ethos surrounding it certainly hasn't - to my chagrin.
Ask HN: How do you measure the energy consumption of your web/mobile app?
Battery usage/autonomy is

- a key component in UX, and

- major driver of mobile device obsolescence (batteries get worn down faster, hence buying a new device sooner).

As a developer, I would like to easily assess my app and/or web site impact on battery usage. Ideally, I would like to integrate it in my CI/CD pipeline to drive continuous improvement.

What are my options ?

There doesn't even have to be a big government conspiracy, the whole thing is politicized enough that most people are either scared to speak up and/or convinced of things no matter the data. For example I personally know of two serious cases of completely healthy people falling ill days after the vaccination. One died and one was in hospital for over 2 weeks with heart inflammation. Both did not get investigated for the possible vaccine connection.
I had a week of using it regularly in the evening, including a few german rap battle evenings, which were genuinely amazing and felt really special. There was a special interest group of watch enthusiasts which I found really charming, and also some Pidgin-English rooms I found linguistically entertaining for a while. But I stopped eventually (the amount of crypto/get-rich-quick stuff that other mention was bad, but I'm not sure that wasn't the reason I left as such - there just wasn't enough non-get-rich-related stuff in the end), and haven't been back in six months.

I hosted a room once, which I was really nervous about - I never really felt like I could participate in most of the rooms I was listening in on - there weren't many ins, and joining a voice-call is much harder than posting a message. I wonder if that barrier wasn't a big factor.
THis was my thoughts as well.

For desktops HTTP2 is mostly ok, possibly an improvement. For Mobile it wasn't. I raised this when we were trailing in at $financial_media_company. Alas the problems were ignored because HTTP2 was new and shiny, and fastly at the time was pushing it. I remember being told by a number of engineers that I wasn't qualified to make assertions about latency, TCP and multiplexing, which was fun.

I still am not convinced by QUIC. I really think that we should have gone for a file exchange protocol, with separate control, data and metadata channels. Rather than this complicated mush of half remembered HTTP snippets transmuted into binary.

We know that despite best efforts website size is going to grow bigger, in both file size and number. Lets just embrace that and design HTTP to be a low latency file transfer protocol, with extra channels for real time general purpose comms.
I could see it happening if your data source works of raw test result statistics, since you don't know how often the same person was tested. But that doesn't sound like it is the case here, since they reference a specific database they use "at individual patient level".
>it literally states that Covid is between 7 and 40 times more likely to cause Myocarditis.

There is no control group for unvaccinated people in this study. Everyone who got myocarditis from COVID had at least one dose of the vaccine. So the correct statement is "COVID is between 7 and 40 times more likely to cause myocarditis IF you have gotten at least one dose of the vaccine"
Please interpret my comment in a benevolent way: Have you considered that you perhaps experience panic attacks? It is pretty common especially for males to experience panic attacks as primarily physical. Can you perhaps find a pattern in your behaviour or experiences before you have those squeezes (i.e. some part of your work routine, or specific thought patterns)? Whether physical or psychological, it might be worthwhile to write some kind of symptom diary after each event.
You should report it.

Why is there no way for workers to own the means of production? Do many of us software people not own shares in the companies we work for? All that needs happen is that all shares are owned by the employees of the company and, voila, the workers own the means of production. Obviously this is quite a simple and un-ideal implementation of said concept, but the practicalities of worker owned enterprises are not some kind of far fetched impossibility.

> I feel like my chest (heart? lungs?) squeezes for a few seconds

Do you feel pain when this happens?

> then I have problems breathing normally

Does your breathing rate increase? (hyperventilation)

Next time this happens you can undertake a small test. Take 15 g of sugar in one go and see whether you experience an immediate improvement. This test will show whether the condition is related to decreased ATP production which is known to cause panic attacks in some people (false hypoglycemia). If you see an improvement from sugar then it means it is related (you can take a look at my other posts to see how to manage that).

Other tests that may be helpful for you: HOMA-IR, A1c, Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL), High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL), Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Gamma-glutamyl Transferase (GGT).
> The risks are more evenly balanced in younger persons aged up to 40 years, where we estimated the excess in myocarditis events following SARS-CoV-2 infection to be 10 per million with the excess following a second dose of mRNA-1273 vaccine being 15 per million

So according to this study, if you're under 40 and have taken the Moderna vaccine, you are more likely to develop Myocarditis than after a Covid infection.
You have the priors the other way round.
The old adage "when you hear gallopping think horses, not zebras" is not valid if you're in a place where zebras are common and horses aren't.

What you say could be true if this person had experienced such events prior to vaccination as well.

Otherwise the probability of having a first episode of ectopic beats within 28 days of the vaccine is far less likely to be due to anxiety in the absense of previous history of anxiety, let alone one with rare symptomatology.
Enforce good TypeScript compile-time validation error
That depends on many factors. To answer this question you have to consider at least the country you are leaving in. It also depends on your environment and the timing, e.g. when hospitals are overwhelmed by Covid cases, they might discharge a younger person to early from the hospital or don't look deep enough.

If you want to answer this question for your country look at the official government numbers, I assume the CDC has those numbers for the US, the RKI publishes these numbers for Germany, etc. A generic Google search will find the most attention seeking site claiming stuff mildly related to your question.
This is impressive. The only issue I have faced in the past with HTTP/2 is the supported servers and browsers. It's not very reliable, and migrations are painful. Hopefully HTTP/3 will be seamless.

Statistically, sure. Individually it might not work and uncertainty makes something hard even harder.
You (not you specifically; anyone reading this) need to be careful with copying production data to another machine. This can be considered a security/privacy vulnerability in the eyes of people who care about things like ISO27001 (which is everyone if you’re selling at the enterprise level).

With a sufficiently comprehensive data anonymisation tool you can work around this limitation, but that's an additional investment that a business needs to be aware of up front.
> Solar+batteries and some pump storage and wind are very nearly statistically able to meet baseload in most places

Most places? As I've mentioned a few times here, there's an ongoing meteorological phenomenon across Europe with bad weather ( clouds and stuff), low wind speeds and cold temperatures. It started around September and is projected to continue well into the winter. Electricity produced by wind is at historical lows, and of course solar is of limited help as well. It's among the contributing factors for the high gas prices.

You'd need a whole lot of batteries and pumped up hydro ( which can't just be put anywhere) to cover for such events.
