It seems like the vax every 6 months is a worst-ish case scenario (worst case being, some mutation is like 100% vax resistant, no one can figure it out, and a lot more people die). Well, one is also supposed to get a dental cleaning every 6 months. The nice thing about the vax is, jab takes 2 seconds and no one bugs you about flossing. I don't see why this would be such a chore.
>Michael David Crawford wrote about airplane software and computers and safety but was arrested by the police because he wrote it at Grove Beach McDonalds and was charged with being a nuisance.

This reads like he was arrested for writing about airplane software, when it appears he was arrested for having a schizophrenic episode in a McDonald's and was likely asked to leave and refused.

>Soon after these plans like Flight 370 started to happen. He was the first one to discover the bugs in Boeing's software and never got credit for it, just a year in jail with time served.

How exactly did he get the software in the first place?

I had ketamine for a colonoscopy and had the exact same experience. I woke up feeling like I had the best sleep of my life, and filled with an extreme contentness, just bliss, that lasted for 6 weeks.

I have bipolar II, and usually suffer from depression. Unfortunately ketamine is not legally available for me.

So a Democratic majority state legislature _passed_ this legislation?

And the veto proves that it's not what Democrats _really_ want?

Ranking countries by "capitalism" is hard and kind of pointless. Sweden for example has no legally mandated minimum wage, which should make it more 'capitalist' than the US. It also has stronger unions and worker protection, which some people might argue makes it less capitalist. Sweden has (I believe) a much higher percentage of privately run high schools than the US (more capitalist), but free University education (less capitalist). Also the UK is in some ways 'less capitalist' then Sweden with its fondness for large government institutions like the NHS, while in Sweden health care is to much larger extent provided by private healthcare providers.
When I was 12, I equated a really big house with being very important and successful. Now that I'm a emotional adult, I see that a big house is less effective at being shelter than a modestly sized house and that it is an expression of ego, not practicality. This weekend while taking a walk I saw someone in their 70's exit their 10,000 square foot home. I am fully convinced you're right.

These are the same people who fought net neutrality on the grounds of "protecting private entities (ISPs) from government overreach" and then a few years later were petitioning their congressmen to write laws regulating speech on twitter.
It took your comment for me to realize what happened
This article is one of the few anandtech articles which is just straight up wrong and/or incomplete on many points, notably only comparing to (relatively) old desktop chips. A 5900HX (released in January) scores 50% higher on multithreading on cinebench, and equal on single threaded tests like Geekbench. A 5900HX is available on laptops that start at $2500, unlike the $4000 that a macbook pro would run you.

So, really, what this is saying is that a brand new, constructor specific 5nm SoC that is tailor made with a CPU/memory quasi-direct link is about equal to a year and a half old 7nm CPU, while being twice as expensive. As much as the Apple fanboys can scream about pOwEr EfFiCciEnCy!1, making up a $1500 difference just in electricity costs is going to be hard. Battery life doesn't matter, just plug your damn laptop, it's throttling itself if it's not plugged in anyways.

One-size-all doesn't fit me. synaptics gets the job done and libinput doesn't, it's really that simple as far as I'm concerned.

An example from elsewhere in this thread: "In libinput the edge scrolling is hard coded to 7mm" Somebody please tell this dude that the size of a human finger varies dramatically from person to person. Not everybody has his hands.

As for developer workload, the libinput developer could save himself a lot work by not starting his project in the first place. It doesn't seem to do anything better than synaptics so I don't see why it even exists.

I think there is a pendulum effect, but it's dominated by a leftward cultural trajectory.

The republican party really just takes democrat positions from a few years ago on social issues, adds some murmering about trying to reign in the debt, occasionally cuts taxes , and continues the progression of the dominant culture.

My theory is the increasing polarization is due to one side clearly seeing their dominance in the culture and wanting to crush all opposition; and some reactionaries on the right noticing this state of affairs and calling for more aggressive means to try to change the situation.
Some of us gladly would.
If you mean updates to the schema then some sort of migration system surely exists for your framework of choice, such as in Rails and Laravel too I think.

If you mean one-off changes to existing data what has served me well so far is implementing an audit log from the start coupled with making sure that records are fudgeable by a select few admins.

This means that a few people can make changes to nearly everything from the interface rather than having to log into the DB directly. At the same time there is a record of changes done and the ability to comment on and revert them.
It doesn't matter.

What matters is that the person is arrested, that their name is leaked to the mainstream news media, and that they're dragged through the mud - the same as seems to happen in literally every other child porn case.

The actual guilt or innocence doesn't matter at that point. Their lives have been sufficiently ruined, and, if they are actually innocent, the message has been clearly sent.

I've been meaning to take a look at Spotify through Home Assistant and what that is capable of (and potentially voice controlling it)

But, if you wanted to write some python to directly play some pre-defined playlists (it currently can't do open speech transcription), you could definitely make that happen with Home Intent!

It supports custom components, so any integration is technically possible: https://homeintent.io/reference/developer/example-component/

I tried to design the interface to be easy to understand what sentences trigger what functions, and not have to write a lot of boiler code.

Hope this helps!
From https://www.libertarianism.org/columns/john-locke-justificat...

'"He that is nourished by the Acorns he pickt up under an Oak, or the Apples he gathered from the Trees in the Wood, has certainly appropriated them to himself. No Body can deny but the nourishment is his. I ask then, When did they begin to be his? When he digested? Or when he eat? Or when he boiled? Or when he brought them home? Or when he pickt them up?"

Locke answered these questions by selecting the last of these options. The acorns became the private property of the owner when he picked them up, for it was in the gathering that labor was first expended. "That labour put a distinction between them and common. That added something to them more than Nature, the common Mother of all, had done, and so they became his private right."'

I'm not endorsing or dismissing this, but notice how it conflicts with ownership of the tree.
Maybe not 5 but it is years ahead in terms of process.

Also Alder Lake is actually pretty normal in terms of power usage on actual workloads, almost no one is running AVX stress tests. The power draw is basically a symptom of intel massively pushing it past the efficiency frontier, undervolting is the new overclock thanks to massive stock OC

Millions of people in various sectors outside healthcare (by the way, since when is healthcare a "small sector"?) have had vaccines required as a condition of employment. , mostly people with plenty of risk like teachers, the military and some people working in the travel industry, but this is not always the case. I was required to get the flu shot (or an exemption) in my last job at an electrical engineering firm.

On a broader note, I think (coming from the US) workers should have stronger protections against being fired, but everyone I've personally talked to who does not believe your employer should be able to fire you for not getting a vaccine is also opposed to "state controlled employment" or almost anything else that exerts control over the employer-employee relationship. You can be fired for almost any reason in the US, being fired for not getting a vaccine does not seem any worse to me than being fired for any number of awful yet totally legal reasons.
Ask HN: In API design; minimal responses or kitchen sink responses?
I'm currently refactoring my app away from websockets to a more traditional RESTful API (especially for things that should've been RESTful in the first place), and I wanted to know peoples' thoughts on whether response bodies should return just what you need (e.g. a need-to-know response), or return components that are common across different responses.

For example, given a hypothetical API, `GET /widgets/:id` would return a generic set of properties for the widget... the id, location, parts, etc.

Whereas `POST /widgets` could return all of that, but in a scenario where it doesn't matter (that is, all the other values are null or defaults), then returning just `{ id }` would be sufficient.

Especially in the case of large response payloads, it may save some data from going over the wire, but we may be waltzing into premature optimization territory here.

If you use reusable components in OpenAPI, then it indirectly pushes you towards having your API return common schemas across different routes. So both `POST /widgets` and `GET /widgets/:id` would return the same kind of response (in terms of properties present, etc.)

I can also see the argument that for developer friendliness, it makes more sense to return the kitchen sink, so additional calls need not be made to retrieve additional information.

In the real world, Stripe's API always returns a common object that you can rely on... creating an invoice returns an "Invoice" object, listing invoices returns an array of "Invoice" objects, updating an invoice returns an "Invoice" object, etc.

I ask this because I can see in the existing code that a lot of the calls were fairly minimalist in nature. For example, deleting a widget wouldn't even _need_ a response body. A 200 would just mean I could remove the element from the DOM, but from a dev friendliness POV, it could be advantageous to return the output of `GET /widgets` when you call `DELETE /widgets/:id` (or maybe the output of `GET /widgets/:id` with the deleted flag set)
Most of my co-workers who have kids will not go back to our office unless our company enforces a vaccine mandate. So anecdotally, I can say that at least some workers at some companies are also putting pressure on to implement vaccine mandates.

I've felt for a long time that the reason software is not fulfilling its promise is because it has been tied exclusively to capitalist goals. The incentive structure is completely broken.

I think a balance probably exists, but we are badly missing the mark.
I frequently have to pause while typing and wait for my pocket-supercomputer to catch up and actually give me feedback like putting text on the damn screen. Multi-second non-interactable pauses are not uncommon at all. If that isn't "unresponsive" I'd really like to know what is.

Is there any evidence that the SF Unified School District short fall has anything to do with either the pandemic or population decline?

“Mandatory and exhaustive” typing is also good and usually not particularly difficult if you have a decent type system. With OCaml, for instance, you rarely even need to go out of your way to have 100% type coverage.
> I agree that the WHO

That is not necessarily my opinion - I never expressed that.

You opposed «only [only] the opinion of one doctor (or two)» vs «some official conclusion by the WHO or other big organization»: does that mean that you can trust «big organizations» more? Organizations, «big» or «intermediate», live on funding. They are not free entities by nature. Their space of action is what is allowed to them (their margins may be broad or narrow, depending).
Presumably the people who opt into the self-destruct option are more concerned with the possibility that they might need to self-destruct and not be able to than of possibility of false alarms.

If you've already planned for the possibility of self-destruct, a laptop can be a very transient device. Maybe the only important thing on the laptop is your bitcoin wallet key, but you also have a physical copy stashed in a lockbox somewhere. Maybe you're only using the laptop for its browser, and you've memorized all the passwords you need to enter.

Someone snatching the laptop might be doing so to grab the one keyphrase that you logged in with. The actual device is unimportant to you, then.
Ah yeah, anti-vaxxers (I'm not calling you one) grasping at straws including calling the vax mandates racist because of the low vax uptake from Black people.

If it was a policy that's based on something that the Black people can't change about them (e.g. refusal to entry to a club based on your address, with majority black areas of town being in that list), and it disadvantages them, yes that'd be racist. But in this case, the Black people (or whoever) can easily change it by getting vaxed...

The wages for software developers were basically stagnant from 2001 to about 2014 or 2015. The big surge in pay is relatively recent. While this is a complex subject, I have written about a few examples, and can offer more. But take this as one example:

Right now the best devops people in New York City are making between $200 and $300 an hour. That's obviously good money, but in the 1990s I had older friends who were making $200 an hour as Oracle consultants. At the top, the nominal pay has remained the same, but adjusting for inflation, that is a 50% paycut.

Likewise, lower down, I know lots of mid-level devs who are happy to make $100 an hour right now, but I also had older friends who were slapping together classic VBA apps with VisualBasic, back around 1999, and they were also making $100 an hour, so, again, it's a 50% pay cut.

But it is absolutely true that pay has been surging since about 2014/2015, so I imagine the software developer pay is about to catch up to the highs of the 1990s.

It's also true that the picture only looks bad when compared to inflation. To your point, most other professions did even worse, so the benefits of being a computer programmer are more obvious if the comparison is to other professions.

All in all, after the peak in 2000, the USA economy had a difficult 15 years.

Once upon I time a read a saying whose exact form I no longer remember, but the gist was in "Whoever is meek to the cruel ones, is cruel to the meek."

Living in unsafe places is one of the worst horrors of poverty. I think there is a subset of progressives that does not want to accept the idea that some people really are psychopathic predators. Or perhaps only limits that idea to the rich, bankers etc., while finding all kind of excuses for anyone else.

There is no denying that a lot of successful psychopaths accrue at the top of the societal ladder, but the violent ones often inhibit the bottom, terrorizing the rest.

When I was a single mother's kid in the early 1990s in a country with a rudimentary welfare system, I was poor-ish enough to be in the bottom fifth of the society, and I knew plenty of similar people. It is my experience that mere lack of money won't turn an otherwise kind person into a violent criminal. They may be driven to steal or cheat, but deliberately injuring or killing other people, for that you need to be quite a bad apple yourself.

> Apple, to the best of my knowledge, never said that, nor even implied it. It was, "We're adding this to what we can do now, take it."

Yup. There was a ton of speculation about Apple's motives - whether legislative or related to iCloud E2E encryption - but AFAIK Apple never confirmed anything outside of "we're doing this to protect children". I think if there was some other motive, Apple should have communicated it better.

It's interesting how Apple's normal ability to set the tone and framing of new features was undermined in this case by a leak. I wonder if Apple would have been more successful at marketing this if they were able to frame the debate themselves.
