Thanks for the advice

I've met one or more such people already (no harm was caused, but thereafter I started paying even less attention to clothes and voice and self confidence etc). Good to get to hear your perspective.

Please note that I included the words "more experienced" -- meaning, you would be more experienced, know more than them, about the things they were talking about. Any esoteric jargon -- you'd know all of it.

But you had in mind areas where one isn't experienced oneself, and then I think you're right. It's a different thing than what I was trying to write about though

> Engineering is a charlatan's paradise

Aha, you meant that the engineers could be fooled by business/sales/law people. Then I better understand what you wrote. (First I interpreted that text, the other way around)
This is exactly what they'd say to get people to stop wearing the 5g protective amulets.

I guess what I am saying, in my experience, Good Product Managers are extremely, extremely rare, and ones that peddle bullshit are extremely common, and unfortunately, it's probably all but impossible to tell which is which during a hiring process, because they will all portray everything they've ever done as a massive success.

The part that Zhang's wife guarding the door while she's being sexually assaulted in the room simply means that Zhang's wife was actively participating in the assualt.

By definition, critical thinking is questioning what you are told. I am questioning what I am told, by assessing

* Who is telling me this information?

Pfizer, the FDA

* Who stands to benefit from this?

Pfizer, the maker of the drug, and the downstream finances from them - namely the FDA (who gets most of their funding from drug makers), lobbied politicians in DC, as well as the nightly news, which sure does seem to show a lot of ads for Pfizer products.

So, from those questions, I have become skeptical. I am completely open to other lines of critical thinking, but so far I have just met resistance for questioning things at all.

So who is doing critical thikning? Am I actually denigrating someone elses critical thinking? Because there seems to be relatively little of it in this thread.
Does anyone believe one would disappear from public appearances for 5-6 weeks due to ostensibly her 'resting at home', somehow oblivious to the fact that literally the entire world media is talking about your disappearance.

This would be in a context of you having made a matter-of-fact accusation of sexual abuse of one of the 10 most powerful people in the country, that you recant only 5 weeks later as if it was some kind of metaphor that was misinterpreted.

You'd think in such a situation, you'd at least be prone to say, at most within a few days, to call a few media outlets to indeed show the world that you haven't been kidnapped but are instead just chilling at home. Not only every media outlet around the world was talking about this for weeks, but also Amnesty International, the Olympic Committee, the International Tennis Federation, the European Union, the president of the United States, the nr 1 world tennis player etc etc, are all commenting on your disappearance by the state...

Quite a weak attempt at propaganda.
> There are allergies to vaccines (not to the dose, but to everything else that is in the concoction that enables it to work).

There are multiple vaccine formulations available, and they largely do not overlap in terms of potential allergy triggers. If you're allergic to a component of the mRNA vaccines, that does not preclude you from taking an adenovirus vaccine, or vice versa. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/recommend...

Then let’s clear up this whole debate. I meant to type cultural genocide, but it was late and I was sleepy so I said “ethnic” instead of “cultural.”

It’s trivial compared to the Communist Party’s ongoing cultural genocide against numerous ethnic minorities, involving imprisonment, slave labor, forced sterilization, “re-education,” family separation, forced marriages to Han Chinese men, and many other abhorrent conditions, but still terrifying that Chinese diplomats in another country think it’s okay to gate crash a party, photograph attendees (presumably for identification and retribution), and then start a fistfight because they were “provoked” by a “false national flag.”

I don’t need to take some of the distaste we have for the holocaust and apply it to this. It’s shameful and terrifying enough on its own.
For kids 5-7 there are Scratch JR coding cards that are nice. I am working on a scratch jr course for my kids.

For kids 8-12 with Scratch I think it is better to actually clone ( remix ) projects to figure out how they work. There are a few books out there, but they don’t really teach the concepts. I think finding short videos on YouTube is a better approach.

Even if you imagined a world where Swift existed and ObjC didn’t, it would still make sense for ObjC to be invented. In fact it would be an utterly inspired way to build a glue layer between Swift and the masses of C (and C-compatible) libraries out there.

Every reason you provided besides the last one is void in my opinion.

> Because you have no right to kidnap someone else’s child.
Humans also have a right to live. Parents with better opportunities(whether through a better lifestyle or through better medicine) will be able to grant a better life expectancy for the child than the biological parents. This means that while there's no defined right to "kidnap" someone's children, the non-existence does infringe on an existing right.

> Because the human rights of the parents to raise their child and the rights of the child to be raised by their parents both determine that you shouldn’t.
Ditto.

> Because you have no authority to determine what is better for the child
And who does exactly? The people bringing the child to this world without consent? The government? Hypothetical better parents? Once a child grows up to a sufficient age we assume that the person has gained enough sufficient mental capacity to decide for themselves(which is also debatable but let's leave that for another day). That line gets only more blurry the younger the child is and how do we know who exactly has this "authority" to determine this?

Modern family structure gave this authority to the biological parents due to the complexity of the question above but this is still a debatable point in my opinion. I heavily doubt that the status quo will be challenged in the near future.

> Because the ends don’t justify the means.
I agree with this as taking children of people can cause significant distress for reasons I assume evolution related. And moving whether ends justify the means or not aside, no one has the authority know whether an outcome is the "better" outcome for a child or not so the ends are also blurry.
I thought “dev ops” was applying dev work flows to ops processes. That is, sprints, jira stories, etc.

Then SRE came along, and it was all about devs doing ops work focusing on keeping things up and running. That is, a dev doing rigorous ops work with a focus on SLIs, error budgets, etc.

But then, the term got trendy, leaked out of Google, and everyone wanted to be cool so they called their devops guys (which were really repurposed sysadmins) SREs but the job really didn’t change.

PyCharm Professional lets you use a remote docker-compose interpreter[1] which brings back that live debugging experience. I did have to work pretty hard to figure out the correct strings to launch Gunicorn and connect to nginx. But it's all worth it to be able to evaluate code at a breakpoint and refresh my code changes without relaunching all my containers.

Mhm… The findings are probably just as good as the data… I got a little suspicious when it claimed that 93% of forests in Europe are natural forests, because as far as I know, e.g. Germany has (almost) no natural forest. See also the history of Forests in Central Europe [0].

In any case, looking at the report [1] they include Russia in Europe. Fair enough, Europe without Russia: Only 70% natural forests. Which still seems high to me, given that Europeans exploited our forests so much.

The main report distinguishes between: natural forests (no definition), plantations (think rows and columns) and 'other planted' which can look like a natural forest when matured.

I quickly checked the country data for Germany [2]. They report 50% natural forests and 50% other planted. Which is just bollocks. Large parts of forests in Germany are planted and mono culture. Only 6% of forests in Germany are protected (which doesn't mean much, because you can still do forestry!?) and only 0.6% of Forests are off-limits. I might write an enquiry as to why 50/50 was reported.

"So not even Apple knows the location of your AirTag or the identity of the device that helps find it."
Right? This is not the first time I've read it on the English media that Peng Shuai was accusing Zhang Gaoli of sexual assault either. I seriously wonder what is going on here. Don't get me wrong. I do think Peng Shuai cannot speak freely and something sketchy is going on. But putting words in her mouth is a rather strange way of trying to help her.

On the other hand, if she didn't make that specific accusation, then what she just said made sense. She didn't retract anything. She stands behind what she said in that Weibo post, just not the "sexual assault" part interpreted by the western media.

It doesn't, and Sabine specifically addresses this point.
What other languages have you coded music in and how does it compare to this?
I’ve found what makes me happy. The issue is that it is not something I can get out of work or a business.

As a smaller example. I know we were all lied to that you just need to find what you love and then do that as a job. For me it just killed the enjoyment for one of my passions for years (video games). I enjoy them so much more since moving to general web dev.

I also used to love programming but 14 years of doing it as a day job has sucked most of the enjoyment out of it. Now it’s just a great career which is not too bad of an outcome.

> No, it is definitely not effectively sandboxed. You only need to access / instead of Z:. Wine has no sandbox mechanisms built in. It is also a fairly large codebase which definitely has a bug or two that could be exploited to get around such mechanisms if they existed.

If you don't have Z:\ enabled, how do you actually access those Unix-like paths? When I launch a WINE command prompt in a prefix with no Z:\ enabled, I get:

wine: could not open working directory L"unix\\home\\pxc\\", starting in the Windows directory.
Microsoft Windows 6.1.7601

unix\home\pxc>dir
Syntax error

unix\home\pxc>cd ..

unix\home>dir
Syntax error

and so on. What Windows APIs are Windows programs supposed to use that will let them see parts of the Linux filesystem that are not mapped as Windows drives in WINE?

> To effectively sandbox, you need the kernel's help. Linux offers namespaces and control groups.

> The way you use these comfortably behind a layer of abstraction is through containers. Bottles uses flatpak for the purpose.

This is an improvement for sure, but I've never, ever had some WINE program run amok on my hard disk outside of the drives letters defined for it in the WINE configuration.

Thanks for pointing out the more thoroughgoing sandboxing that Bottles uses beyond just the WINE drive mapping, though.
> don't worry: keep going until you're done or you run out of time (the best option)

This really depends on the type of test. For many tests, checking your pace and adjusting how long you spend on each question based on remaining time is an important strategy. For many tests, you would be much better off with a less perfect answer on all the questions than one really good answer on one question and no answer for all the others.

Oftentimes, you should use the total amount of time to determine the level of detail and effort the test givers are expecting you to use for each question.
That would take more paragraphs than you would read.
>I think the problem with saying something was made up is that it becomes blaming.

What's your point? Blame is not a thing to be avoided.
This will be useful for the hundreds of thousands of organ transplant recipients like my Dad. The two dose vaccines generally have no effect. Didn't with him or any of the other patients under his doctor's care. Luckily, he was part of the ~40% where the 3rd dose had some effect. Nowhere near healthy folks but at least some. For the other 60%, a drug like this will be life-saving.
Some people like to compete. Others don't. Are we to understand that the latter can't tolerate the existence of the former?
>considering protein structure was/is often named as the “holy grail” of computational biology, and homology was always the method to get there

Homology is never considered "solving the protein folding problem". It's 100% based off of past data which incorporates all sorts of biases, including as others have pointed out, experimental error. For instance, in my field, where there is terrible amino acid sequence conservation, AlphaFold is just as poor at prediction as existing solutions like Phyre.

Ask HN: Are quantum-ready co’s peddling snake oil?
The premise of quantum-ready companies is to prepare their customers for the moment quantum computing breaks current cryptography. For example, RSA is dependent on factorization being computationally hard, but Shor’s Algorithm would provide fast factorization on sufficiently powerful quantum computers.

OK. But consider that some theorists make a direct link between quantum computing and non-locality ([1], [2]) while others ([3], [4]) question whether non-locality exists, despite years of confirmation of violations of Bell’s Inequality.

If - and it is a big IF - non-locality isn’t a thing, then quantum computing may be an illusion.

If quantum computing is illusory, then companies offering the “quantum-ready” are peddling FUD, snake-oil, no?

Thoughts?

> 1. Leaders (executives and management) at top companies almost always come from these top universities you rave about, and many with degrees in Liberal Arts. Yet they still always put profit > the ideals you just spent three paragraphs praising.

I don't think I mentioned any ideals. Also, your disagreement with their decisions doesn't make them wrong or, more to the point, unaided by their educations.

> Take Robert Reich, a famous History professor ...

You personally disagree with someone who is a leader in liberal arts (and on the level of one among thousands), therefore all liberal arts education for everyone is invalidated? Your support is an (anonymous?) post in a forum on Economics Job Market Rumors? If you are accurate, one leader (of thousands) in liberal arts is flawed, so their entire education is a waste and all of liberal arts is without value? (What about you and me - are we flawed? Is everything we've learned therefore a waste? What about every other commenter and OP author on HN?)

Disagreement is part of liberal arts - it's essential, defining, for liberal arts to contain multiple contrary opinions simultaneously. Human flaws are part of liberal arts - it's impossible for it to work otherwise, as with any human endeavor. But claims without factual and rational basis are excluded. Also, Reich is an economist and professor of public policy.

More than a retraction, this is chillingly Orwellian forgetting of recent history (undoubtedly forced)
>Hard disagree. It's common knowledge, and was even mentioned in this fluff article, 90% accuracy is within the experimental error of the "truth set". It's entirely possible alphafold is more accurate then the X-ray crystallography source for a large portion of the data set.

Even if it was, we don't have a way to distinguish and so I'm not certain what extra good that does.

>I would like to know what are you basing your very bold claim that 90 to 100% is bigger than 60 to 90%?

Because 5-10 angstrom resolution isn't terribly hard to do either with traditional biochemistry, or with homology modeling, with very few exceptions here. The problem I have is that the confidence level there isn't good enough for the actual work that matters. Exact ligand interactions, etc.

Does this mean COVID is over? I thought once the vaccines were available we could move on with life, but somehow the goal posts kept moving. Will people accept the much smaller risk of hospitalization once this pill is available?
I think that's more or less correct. GR suggests "time" isn't independent, we instead have 4-dimensional "spacetime". The idea that future inputs can influence past configurations can be perfectly sensible in this context. It's like a restricted form of consistent closed timelike curves.

I encourage you to learn more about Hubris and about how we arrived at it -- certainly, it was nothing as you convey (and to the contrary, we tried hard to get extant systems to work). Read Cliff's blog[0] for details, but we are not lightweights and nor are we rookies, and the ideas represented in Hubris come from decades of our collective experience at the hardware/software interface.

I also emphatically disagree that "embedded operating systems are a solved problem" (or indeed, that operating systems are a solved problem) -- and that in general such proclamations reveal much more about the technologist than the technology that they proclaim to be finished.
