I thought the vaccines reduced the lethality quite a bit. Do we know how vaccinated/no pill compare to unvaccinated/pill?
Superdeterminism does not deny probabilities (just like, say, classical mechanics does not deny statistical mechanics).
Something I enjoyed about reading Murakami both in Japanese and in translation is that there are a couple of translations of "Norwegian Wood". Seeing how two translators (Alfred Birnbaum and Jay Rubin) handled the translation into English gave me different views of how one could approach Japanese from an English perspective (my native tongue).
Almost exactly a year ago I cut a 45 degree chunk off my thumb (box cutter working with drywall...). Straight cut, thumb looked like "Gumby".

A year later you'd never be able to tell, rounded again with fingerprints as well. Quite amazing given I'm middle aged.
I bought the 8x8 matrix from Monoprice - they have a category for audio/video splitters. They brand it as the “Blackbird” line, but note that they rotate and update the OEM/manufacturer fairly regularly. They’re clearly rebranded OEM units with a very cheap web interface and IR remote.

The 16x16 I bought from a small online company called “HDTV Supply” - model number HDCVT4K1616. They were a pleasure to work with.

(Mods please let me know if there are any issues sharing these vendors.)

It does scale very well in open source, the biggest contributors become the leaders, this can be formalized or not
Well, isn't that normal? When you sign a 6 month contract that doesn't mean that you'll have to work for 180+ days either.
A nobel attitude but generally not one that persists past 30 or much after the first kid is born.
This approach doesn't entirely eliminate structure. Often you still have a layer of people dedicated to identifying, prioritizing, and breaking problems down into manageable sizes. They're just not the ones dictating who solves the problems.

I simplify it as "Kanban, but for problems". Instead of a person creating a list of tasks for a team to do, they identify and define problems important to the organization. Teams then self-create around those problems to solve them.
Is this some sort of weird gotcha or are you sincere?

Joint damage is not really statistically correlated with long distance running, and anyone targeting a sub 20 minute 5k is going to have their weight and form so dialed in, it probably is barely a risk at all.
Perhaps the names should stand as testament to the early settlers' shortcomings.

It seems problematic to be renaming places after 'approved' historical people. How long before historians uncover unsavory details about their lives, and in any case has the air of simply shuffling deck-chairs.

Surely we haven't run out of poetry for place names, which should be descriptive, or named after local landmarks, or at a stretch, relevant historical events.
This isn't new. In the '50s and '60s for example many things that were named "<n-word>head" were renamed. And no, there were not cases where the names came from some other language and just happen to sound like that word. They were things that whoever named them that they looked like a dark human head.
> That’s why I tend to gravitate towards starting migrations with the harder parts of the system. It’s a more challenging project, yes — but you will never have more resources and more support for a modernization effort than you do in the very beginning. The hard bits won’t be any easier months or years later.

It should be no surprise that 5his advice is entirely in the spirit of the MVP. MVPs are supposed to de-risk your startup, and you should therefore always tackle the highest risk part of your plan. If the highest risk part is customer acquisition based on your UVP, buy some advertising and see if potential users click 'buy'. If it is retention, you need an app that they use, or a Wizard of Oz prototype. If it is technical feasibility, you need to build a POC.

For a modernization project, if the riskiest parts are the 'hard bits', then your modernization MVP should absolutely tackle those first.

In practice, though, the riskiest part of a modernization effort is usually whether you have enough political capital to see it through. Or to put it another way, whether there is enough buy-in by management. Which often means that you should first tackle the most recalcitrant parts of the organization that have to sign off on it.
I haven't tried it so take this with a grain of salt, but it seems that terminal-only apps are supported fairly well. I see from the docs that you can even use Brew from inside Darling.
Also note my response to the other question.
> If Swift was a better designed language, it would have taken over by now.

7.5 years might seem like a long time but it isn't possible to rewrite a stack like Apples in under a decade or two. I also suspect that Swifts lack of interoperability with C++, which is required for audio, video, and math-heavy libraries such as Accelerate, means a layer of Objective-C is still needed to make use of those APIs.
Guess that's what happens when you shut down safe, cheap, emissions-free sources of electricity for nonsense ideological reasons (nuclear power plants).
Then they shouldn't market it as being fast.
That's nice, it is also quite common here in Australia, due to the fact that Asian food is generally easy to find at least in large metropolitan areas.
What do you mean by that? The TOTP standard doesn't specify how (if at all) the client is secured. Besides, the one-time code is used in addition to a password, not as a substitute for one.
I just scored my first 250k at a faang after being erm... stuck at a regular/non-prestigious company for 3 years.

There's basically a cottage industry of 'cracking the faang interview' so I don't feel like repeating it here. But basically any faang/adjacent will pay mid level engineers mid 200s.

Lighting: Retinal Ganglion Hardware (Concept)
Maybe the idea of using real human braincells cultured, extracted or salvaged from humans is terrifying but if indeed more efficent, it could help guide us away from a potential dead we could be on at the moment. What I still find more terrifying is having something really more powerful than a human brain not in raw power but in general intelligence with all human subtleties and all. The idea is not terrifying by itself but the potential of a bad actor using this for nefarious ends.

IMO flat doesn't mean no leaders. It just means few as possible, long-term dedicated leaders.

Individual initiatives and projects still have leaders. However, that's leader isn't necessarily a pre-defined role.
> cors - today is going to be bleak

Just looking at the phrase "No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' is present on the requested resource" makes me angry on behalf of new programmers everywhere. I wonder how many have gotten to that point in webdev and just been like "Fuck it, this isn't for me".
Thats such an insanely cool and thoughtful gift.
And drink whenever the dev works out that it was their fault the entire time.
I caught my finges in the chain of a swing as a child and tore about half the pad of my pinkies away to a similar depth, one narrow strip was still attached so I held it on with bandaids after washing it. It grew back together but now there is an offset or fault line in my print.
You're the librarians of the dev world by this definition. That's interesting to think about; that's what good academic librarians do. They also have a very similar identity crisis.
It's certainly possible but you've also chained a very specific series of events to explain an observation. Such scenarios are most hygienically reasoned about using a Bayesian quantification and updating of uncertainty. There's a lot we don't know but from what we do know and the observations we've made, life is likely to be extremely rare.
And if you're into that sort of thing, my own Scheme for Max and Scheme for Pd, which put the same Scheme interpreter from Common Music 3 (s7 Scheme, also used in Snd) in Max and Pure Data so that you can do the same sorts of things but from within Max or Pd. (Or even Max for Live!)

Not following.

If everything is predetermined, there are no actual probabilities except as an artifact lack of knowledge of what the outcome must be.

If that is the case, how can the probability amplitudes interfere with each other?
You want your secret to have a secret? Several apps that provide time based one time password storage/management can also be secured with bio-metrics, pins or passwords (Aegis, MS Authenticator). Are you specifically thinking physical tokens only?
Also please let me know if you find or know of a better USB switcher! I want one that supports 4 inputs but can handle more than 4 outputs to switch between. 6 or 8 would be great. It’s very handy because I frequently have client laptops or I’m working on another computer or RPi, so a spare USB input that I could leave on my desk would be great.
This was my experience when I watched and rewatched the anime film Spirited Away over the years. It is a fantastic film, to be sure, but I hadn't realized how much he borrowed from the existing culture of Japan until I learned more about Japanese religion and culture generally. It wasn't wholly invented myth, as it appeared to me as an American child.
I think the CDC was being pragmatic. They recognized that Americans were fatigued after a year. Asking people to still mask and social distance even after vaccinating is a lot to ask for even if it would technically get the virus under control sooner by catching those breakthrough cases too. The prospect of normalcy would increase vaccine acceptance, and then we would hopefully reach herd immunity by vaccine as demonstrated by cases falling off a cliff. Unfortunately unvaccinated people took off their masks and then Delta happened.

A frame of reference that moves at the speed of light is non-physical. For example, using it you could conclude that objects that have non-zero mass, too, all move at the speed of light...
> This still leaks that the account exists and has TOTP enabled tho.

You could mitigate that by prompting for an OTP code on a random but stable subset of nonexistent accounts -- for example, by hashing the provided username with a server-side secret and requesting an OTP if the hash starts with a zero.
+1. Cue is actually very nice. I wish there's more adoption of Cue instead of most other config languages. Config languages is one of those fields where the problem looks easy and the barrier for entry is low enough that we have many different designs where they don't provide meaningful enough differences, yet the actual problem is quite difficult and subtle. Cue is one of few that has a clean theoretical foundation and looks very promising. Too bad we have YAMLs and friends everywhere.
Here you go. I don't know anything about this website (found it from a google search) but the video montage has plenty of claims of 100%, and a "virtually 100% efficacious" quote from Fauci. The montage is in a meme format making fun of the situation, which is not my preference, and I don't intend to inflame by sharing such a take, it's just the most succinct thing I found.

It highlights quite clearly what I'd mentioned in my first comment, that time and reproducibility matter. I genuinely don't know why it was flagged.

Here's the reason, 9 out of 10 times, this situation persists -- no one realizes it's happening.

No one realizes some dev teams can't see their own deployment logs. No one realizes teams don't have the correct Jenkins access. No one realizes there's a mysterious gatekeeper to use the corporate time series database as a service. No one realizes all new containers are transferred to a few people who have the rights to publish them.

And when I say "no one realizes", I mean two things. One, the people who do know, because they're the ones trying to do it, have given up bitching about it, because they did for years and nothing happened. Two, the people who can actually change things don't know, either because they actively ignored / forgot or because the requests never reached them (usually because a middle transport manager didn't understand what was actually being asked).

And so... the status quo prevails, and everyone has a vague sense that something isn't working, but doesn't know what to do about it.

And to that problem, the best solution I've found is to get the fixer and the problem user as close as possible, wherein the problem is usually revealed as a relatively simple change or feature oversight. And for that, discovery and user interviews are the most reliable method.
It appears that fossil fuels are used as a hydrogen source for the reaction. I wonder if you could split water and use that as a hydrogen source? It is probably a much less efficient process to source hydrogen.
> It explicitly wasn't to decide on a career and learn hard job skills

This can be good advice, unless you ultimately think you will really want a STEM career. You will ultimately spend an extra couple of years playing class catch up.
I sliced off a fingertip once and it grew back, fingerprint and all. It's a fingerprint, though, I'm not sure it's the fingerprint.
A fun coincidence: someone posted about a similar memory just this morning[1]!

Seems like the only sensible way to set up a big attack. Spend an indefinite amount of time desensitizing the targets.

I get downvoted every time I point this out, but this is why banning things makes sense, even if only the law abiding obey.

If something is banned, and somebody is doing it anyway, you know they are a "bad guy" (by definition, not morally) which is really valuable.

No real loss. Right?
I believe GP is using a metaphor to describe a certain level of zeal and committed research funding from the government, as compared to a slogan in a newspaper article.

Certainly nuclear power generation has almost nothing to do with nuclear weapons testing.
> Microsoft moved aggressively to integrate internet client capabilities, mainly web client capabilities, directly into the desktop.

As I remember, they moved aggressively but only after failing to anticipate or even make significant early reactions to the "world wide web", which allowed Netscape Navigator to rapidly take the majority share of what should have been made obvious by the Mosaic browser. Microsoft would take years to respond.

And when they responded it wasn't really with the aim of making better products, but with aggressive (and possibly anti competitive) sales strategies and by introducing deliberate incompatibilities and proprietary features.

I think the very consumer oriented nature of MS made them the enemy number one in mainstream nerd culture, but this behavior is nothing new or different about Microsoft. Large corporations in general I believe are ill suited to "innovate" and that can't be fixed. Not just ill-suited actually but they actually stifle it. Despite everyone claiming they want innovation, when the rubber hits the road they actually don't. It's easy to sell small incremental improvements in performance or cost or features. It's hard to sell something that will obsolete a corporation's most profitable product, or make a VP's business redundant, or kill the sales strategy that the CEO's team has spent a decade perfecting.

It's not even innovation per se, simply reacting to something new well after the writing is on the wall and nobody can deny it is a challenge for an organization. Everyone from executives down to managers and even individual workers have their own fiefdoms that they protect so even things that would be quite clearly in the best interests of the business can be difficult to achieve. Intel is a great example of this with their server group protecting Itanium and holding their territory against the PC group, which resulted in the small upstart AMD defining the 64-bit extension to x86. And then not long afterwards, their PC group defended their turf against their mobile division which resulted in them completely failing in the smartphone market which has arguably almost entirely driven the woes they face today with TSMC overtaking their manufacturing capability and ARM Ltd, Apple, Amazon etc rivaling their high performance CPU design and server products.

(Sorry that rant ended up way off topic and doesn't really address what you wrote, I don't think you're wrong, just clarifying that Microsoft was aggressive in strategy but not in technology development or adoption)
OOP is noun-focused, Julia is verb-focused
Can confirm. I tried them once, never again.
True statement. I lost a finger tip in a mandolin making potatoes lyonnaise. It mostly grew back. However, it has never felt the same. It's like the nerve endings in the finger tip throw unhandled exceptions. Some say properly cooked french food is worth it. i agree.
Ask HN: Do All Programming Languages Have Features That No One Should Use?
I'm a Typescript Developer these days. I've used Java, Python, and PHP professionally as well, but Javascript/Typescript is by far my most well understood.

In JavaScript, no one is supposed to use the Boolean object constructor (new Boolean()). It is singularly unhelpful, and usually does the opposite of what you want. I've never seen a case for it.

Please correct me if there is some arcane reason to use it.

Do other languages have features like this that newbies might try to use once before getting burned and then literally never touch again no matter how advanced they get?

Are there interesting stories for why those features exist?
> Weirdly, it's already significantly easier to find Rust (or Rust-interested) developers these days than C/C++

How do you figure that? That seems highly counterintuitive.
it probably does nested dicts

I'm not sure I follow the thread on how plenty of folks that are vaccinated have died (from being exposed to COVID-19, likely from those unvaccinated) means that the vaccine is not safe. The article you linked says those unvaccinated are 40x more likely to die (although it might be more like 14x with more recent data). Similarly, unvaccinated are more likely to spread COVID-19.

Unvaccinated are more likely to contract the virus from a family member. [0]

> According to the analysis, 25 percent of vaccinated contacts exposed to a household member with an infection contracted one themselves.

> In contrast, 38 percent of unvaccinated contacts got an infection.

> The study results suggest that because the viral load of vaccinated people drops off more quickly, their infection may be infectious for a shorter time than for unvaccinated people.

Braking? Spend half the trip accelerating, the other half decelerating. The "erosion" problem mentioned nearby is still formidable.
Here's why I think it should still be considered sexual assault:

First off, a lot of people (women much moreso) are subject to sexual assault, catcalling, etc, in their day-to-day lives. This is horrible - but a fact. This _is_ the world we still live in, women fear for their lives every day. Any man who denies this lacks any kind of perspective, and in my opinion a denial of this statement should be ignored.

If, and I hope we all agree, sexual assault bad, and I hope we also all agree, that nobody should be subject to that in real life, then it should not be acceptable for this to happen in VR.

> There are also options limiting how close players can get to you for this reason. An easy solution would be to just set the default option beyond arms reach, and let the player lower it, instead of the other way around.

While not as blunt or rude (nor do I think you've said this with any malice), this is workaround is akin to the "don't dress that way", "don't walk around at night", responses victims of sexual assault often get.
What if this person likes players to get close? They should not have to worry about their "closeness" settings, much like women in real life should not have to worry about the way they dress - the assault itself just should not be happening in the first place.
Did you know you happened to be speaking to one such expert?

Today is your lucky day, it’s your chance to enlighten me: what were the experts wrong about?
I'll break it down in a couple of bullet points.

1. Science is hard.

2. There is no such thing as a perfect study. Every method/methodology has weaknesses. Look for converging evidence across multiple studies which use different designs.

3. Initial studies often do not have the funding needed to do things as optimally as possible in a single study, but they do provide evidence for ideas that can be pursued further.

4. It is often socially safer to point out deficiencies than to praise strengths. Same as snobs raining down on you when you say you like some midrange wine.

5. Often issues will be raised that are already acknowledged by the authors.

6. Complaints are often based on inaccurate news reporting, not actual research.

7. Science is hard.
> Based on what?

Not the OP, but it’s far easier for a US military or civilian agency to be conducting drone tests in the vicinity of the US than anyone else. Plus the US govt has a history of warning about adversaries wielding covert weapons while they are already using them, e.g. Stuxnet was already destroying Iranian centrifuges while Obama was warning of cyber warfare.
Windows 98SE was full blown copy of Windows. For this to be correct we'd have to say that Windows 95 and 98 were just a kernel. If you're salty about the bundling of IE that started with various OEM releases of Windows 95 anyway, not 98SE and not even 98.

Issues:
* Who’s paying who for what?

There needs to be some executive decision making to make this work whether or not to follow up on a goal or new project. Without this there’s no cohesive nature to the organization. The OP article is in client services which gives the advantage of the client serving as executive and making many decisions, however you could imagine what would happen without this clear external reference. In the client services they are each acting as independent contractors on a team which isn’t an uncommon thing in consulting.

* How are bad behavior and bad teammates dealt with?

I could see some people I’ve worked with running this system into a ground.
