She should stick to physics, not philosophy. Proving free will with physics is ignorant and arrogant. The hard problem of consciousness is much deeper than "in our models, we see that there is no randomness anywhere, ergo no free will."
Before I turn to python for many C library projects of mine, I rather use a short mkstuff.pl generator to prepare proper data structures.

The few python test runners I maintain cause much more trouble and do much less, than my dejagnu, autotools, cmake, or shell test runners. But when I'm needing a mock service to test against, I happily use python (or just C). A multithreaded C server is still easier written in C than python or perl. And 100x faster.
Yes, I would expect them to be designed for that, especially given the proximity to the body. I've reviewed a design for a LiPo powered wearable once and the list of recommendations was surprisingly long when it was all done. One thing that I find curious about this instance is how it failed, I'm very surprised that what appears to have burned through is the inner shell, rather than say a burst wall in the outer shell.

That said: headphones are subject to all kinds of abuse and that's why I'm particularly interested in what went wrong here, either, as you say, Bose has an inbound quality control issue or there was possibly some thing that this pair of headphones was subjected to that pushed it outside of its design parameters (electrically or physically). It's hard to say for sure without a much more detailed autopsy of the device (fortunately not of the user...).

I have a Sony rough equivalent of this device, and if I would ever drop it on a hard surface I'd stop using it simply because I would never trust a Lithium Ion battery after it has been subjected to a shock load. But I'm a bit paranoid about them, the more you are familiar with some tech the less comfortable you feel while using it.

As for your edit: thermistors can and do fail, but the battery protection circuitry is hip to that and should simply stop charging the battery if the thermistor ever open circuits or short circuits. Theoretically I guess it could fail with a resistance that indicates a safe operating temperature but I have never seen that happen (and I've worked on tons of Li-Ion packs, enough to see a couple of failed thermistors, all of them open circuits).

Python is the ugliest garbage language ever created. The fact that it forces indenting alone is a reason to never use it. Let alone all other garbage features it has that no one needs (all PEPs that are irrelevant and should be left to users).
The BMJ article being discussed points out flaws in the medical validation of the covid vaccine. While true, this medical journal article is being used by the anti-vaccination advocates to make a more general claim that the vaccine is ineffective/dangerous/evil, etc.

Even though the medical journal article accurately shows problems with this specific aspect of the medical/clinical review of the vaccine, the vaccine is proving effective in combating the transmission and severity of the covid virus. Many of the people currently going to the hospital for covid are unvaccinated. This is placing a heavy burden on the hospitals and preventing other people from getting the care they need.

People are fighting over specific facts because they are trying to influence the broader narrative/discourse going on in society about covid, vaccinations, lockdowns, etc.

Comments in this thread are discussing facebook, journalists and fact-checkers, and their roles in influencing public opinion and social discourse.
Second this. I ignored it for 15 years unnecessarily because it sort of looks like a goofy self-help book.

It’s not. It’s a matter of fact analysis and framework for understanding the problem of how to keep track of all the varied messages and projects that come at you. And the advice is simple and highly effective.
In my experience, if something spontaneously catches fire, it's always the manufacturer's fault.
Sure, for a short time. Nowadays you have perl11 (5+6=11).
Regarding sports, there are companies such as DAZN and Amazon which break the bundling. They get the rights for a certain sport/league in a country, and if you want to watch, you pay only for that, directly.
In the last couple of months I’ve been receiving enormous amounts of entirely obvious spam to the spam folder on gmail. Like it or not things are misclassified so you need to keep an eye on that folder. I’m now getting 10-20 spam emails a day about bitcoin, missed delivierie etc. it’s as if they have made a decision to not filter those entirely anymore.
Yes, Sony has this set up the right way, the headphones simply stop working when charging. They also have some pretty good undervoltage protection in there that keeps the batteries at a safe voltage until they are charged again.

That said: it is still body worn lithium ion tech and you should definitely be careful with them, especially if you ever suspect they may have become damaged (from dropping or impact). Be nice to your headphones. And never ever leave them hooked up to the charger once they are charged and if you can only charge to 90% or so.
One of my earliest jobs while still in high school was working for a laser printing and microfiche shop. We got all kinds of tapes from customers in all sorts of formats so I built a skillset of parsing and manipulating data in the tools available which were Snobol, PL/1 and Fortran. Lol.

Later after devouring the dragon book and learning YACC and so on it was hella fun to write parsers in 'C' for my new employer. In fact I got a contract to do some data munging for a gas pipeline because their processes needed some serious help, and that's when I discovered PERL. Larry Wall's reporting language turned me into a super hero because although I was already fast dealing with data, PERL meant I could turn around any request in a few hours. It was (and still is) amazing.
Arguably the title should start with "Ed25519"
The wording of the message is one hell of a detail to leave out when detailing your research methods.
I use only wired devices. Exceptionally when i need to travel i'll take a lithium battery with me for a laptop/phone, but otherwise everything stays wired at all times.
I'm not sure I entirely follow the question. We don't attempt to have any tag in the repo itself representing what is "in production" - which itself is sort of a misnomer because of the iOS App Store 7 day phased release functionality anyway, plus of course lag in customers downloading updates onto their devices.

So if you need to patch something after a release branch point, there is inevitably a discussion dependent on the context of where any in flight release is - has it started rolling? if so how far is it? is it already completely rolled out? Are we halting the release or just following it immediately with a hotfix? Do we want the hotfix to go through phased release? We just have a separate dashboard tracking release status.

Jenkins pipeline wise very similar - land on main, will go in the next nightly build. If you need to patch a release, submit your patch to the relevant release branch, and the corresponding beta/production pipelines will trigger. (Release branches are protected and require special approval to merge to.)
There a point here which seems to have been missed. From the study's FAQ:

> The set of websites for this study is sampled from the Tranco list of popular websites and publicly available datasets of third-party tracking websites.

If that's true, then I have a lot more sympathy for the researchers: it seems they were only targeting particularly popular sites, and sites which use tracking technology. Those sites really should have have developed processes for responding to GDPR and CCPA requests, rather than just banging in some Google Analytics code without really thinking about it.
I think you're helping bring balance to the enthusiasm here for using Postgres as a multi-purpose tool. However, there is a lot of room for you and the advocates favoring Postgres to both be right about tooling. I adopted RabbitMQ because I decided I didn't want to grow into needing it by dealing with many of the problems that motivated engineers to bring RabbitMQ into existence. However, I probably would have been fine with Postgres-pubsub, or Redis-pubsub/streams, both databases that I already used for their general purpose and have established capabilities for messaging. I noticed your earlier agreement with the person who mentioned using Firebase, and Firebase is yet another multi-purpose tool good enough at many things but still not better than the customized domain systems.
If you agree with the claim for Firebase, others can now agree about Supabase. It's all Postgres beneath, though.
So you accidentally pierced the lipo battery and it spewed hot lithium juice on you. It sucks but it's not horrendously dangerous and obviously they should replace the product if it doesn't turn out to be due to personal negligence.

Every wireless product you buy is almost guaranteed to have this same "flaw". If the battery gets damaged, it can ruin your product and maybe even hurt you. Why did you switch from the wired version? You never explained.

I got into Remote Control quadcopters this last year and some of the bare unprotected lipo batteries I have bought as part of this hobby could probably burn my whole house down. You just have to be careful and follow the guidelines given when buying these sorts of products.
They told that they are working om Matrix integration. I have no idea whether that work is still on track or already abandoned.
Some thoughts...

I've always worked remote so it isn't a big impact there.

It has created a further love of nature and the ability to be outdoors year long. My wife and I have done a lot more to get out every day, and we lean more toward living somewhere that stays warmish in the summer.

I was in Spain for the strict lockdown in 2020 and Portugal for the strict lockdown winter 2021 and that gave me a lot of hope in humans. The way people came together to protect their societies with spirit and support was awesome. It was a joy to clap every night for Spanish doctors and nurses. And, I am utterly impressed with both Spain and Portugal for taking care of their older citizens.
The risk for a denial of service by a malicious programmer are much lower than the DOS risk posed by a distracted programmer. Looking at the typical attack surface in an enterprise app a distracted programer can stumble on to trigger a DOS the risk of stumbling on the log4j recursion by accident is minuscule.

That would be a hard thing to achieve, given that we are talking about unnamed, unidentifiable groups.

What GP meant about Spain being similar to GoT, is that there’s a lot of shifting alliances and moving pieces in the background.

You might think channel A has ties to party B, and thus you can asume that they are softening the blow if they’re reporting bad news about B, but Spain has more than two parties (for now), and maybe channel A is actually exaggerating because it would put party C in a good position to sway votes from the opposition while not taking votes from yourself.

As an US equivalent if a third political party had a 10-15% of the votes, you’d see Fox reporting in a way that tried to sway democrats to the third party.

Since in Spain the way seats in congress are allocated benefits parties with bigger percentages, this strategy is possible.
Anything that hamper's Google's continued effort to turn youtube into the new cable TV is good in my book. I hope they lose all the other channels too, and then I hope those channels die anyway, along with the old-media companies that own them. A pipe dream, I know.

Incorrectly deleted from Facebook? That's a blessing. Leave it to that.
My guess is that it's a consequence of theory of mind. Humans have an amazing capacity to imagine properties and feelings within other things. You are able to model how the predator stalking you is thinking. It may not be scientifically accurate but it can be useful. Children do this all the time and assign properties to all manner of animals and objects. And as adults we still do it. You have to build mental models because the internal complexity is just too great. This might help us to conquer an enemy by assigning evil properties. But it also helps us brew beer, trust our family, train pets, bake bread. We never fully understand any of those things but we can predict them well enough using mental models. Magical thinking is just another mental model. And for most of human evolution were were completely lacking other explanations. Magical thinking was sometimes the best explanation.

I'm providing pro bono service as a remote Scrum Master or Agile Project Manager
Hi everybody,

My name is Qing and I’m currently looking to provide pro bono services as a remote Scrum Master or Agile Project Manager~

I come from the beautiful panda city of Chengdu, China (the home of the famous Kung Fu Pandas and indeed they are super duper adorable~). Although my background is in Education (non-tech and non-manufacturing), ever since hearing and learning about Agile, Lean, DevOps, SaaS and Value Stream Mapping/Management a few months ago, I've been totally obsessed with these subjects (even running sprints for my personal life) and have been learning so much about them very quickly. My big dream is to one day become a top-notch practitioner and leader in these subjects, diving deep into Servant Leadership, Systems Thinking, Lean Delivery, Continuous Improvement and Real-Time Value Stream Management (particularly for DevOps). I believe that with determination, perseverance, strategic prioritization, smart goal setting and hard work every one of us can achieve almost anything that we set our mind to.

Currently I’m looking to provide pro bono services as a remote Scrum Master or Agile Project Manager, because after a few months of intense learning, I feel that I’m at a point now where I could grow more quickly by entering the real world and gaining hands on experiences as opposed to simply learning theories and obtaining certifications. Please don’t get me wrong, I do think certifications are incredibly valuable (I hold PSM I, PSM II, PSPO I, PSPO II, PSD I and SPS), however more and more I’m starting to realize that actual experiences are far more important and beneficial for people trying to enter the fast-evolving tech industry (or perhaps any industry that moves at a rapid, innovative pace), so my focus from here on is to seek opportunities that will challenge me to the core and force me to maximize my learning through trial by fire. I’m willing to work in any time zone that’s comfortable for your team, wear multiple hats if needed (especially if it’s a startup environment), and am an exceptionally fast learner, so if you happen to be looking for a remote Scrum Master or Agile Project Manager that can adapt to your changing circumstances and goals, I sincerely hope to have an opportunity to join your team.

My LinkedIn profile is at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/qing-wang-sync/

Thank you so much everyone for taking the time out of your busy schedule to read this, and please stay safe and healthy during these challenging times..

Gratefully yours,

Qing
Even if the data source is biased, it would be interesting to know _how_ it’s biased.

After all, it’s the data that is widely available to people on the internet.
Thanks for sharing. Here is another paper on the subject (cited in the Johns Hopkins study you linked to):

https://journals.lww.com/journalpatientsafety/Fulltext/2013/...

> Using a weighted average of the 4 studies, a lower limit of 210,000 deaths per year was associated with preventable harm in hospitals. Given limitations in the search capability of the Global Trigger Tool and the incompleteness of medical records on which the Tool depends, the true number of premature deaths associated with preventable harm to patients was estimated at more than 400,000 per year. Serious harm seems to be 10- to 20-fold more common than lethal harm.
Reasonable people can have different opinions on this.

Covid will never be eradicated, and I don’t personally think the price on passes (needing to carry and show your papers everywhere) is worth the prize.

“Carry your papers” and “papers please” was an authoritarian / police state trope a few years ago, so I think it’s something we have to be very careful introducing as these things can be hard to unwind after.

But again, a reasonable person could disagree, we all have to accept there is no absolute right or wrong here.

In the US American football only recently became available on streaming - it is currently $450 or $500 per season. You can go to a bar every week and have several drinks and a meal for that money. It’s a little crazy.
It's interesting. One the one hand, I understand that there needs to be some incentive for companies to ensure the safety of their products or actions. In the US, this seems to be (punitive) damages, whereas in Europe it's more through stronger regulations. The nice thing about damages is that it's in terms of moeny, and since companies optimize for money, this does sorta make sense.

However, this also legitimizes dealing with the potential of human tragedy or injury as a mere financial risk. Companies are already terribly dehumanized, and I don't think this legitimization helps for this. At least with regulation there is a direct effort to prevent tragedy, and the framing is also closer to this objective. Of course, the goal for companies will still be "we have to adhere to the regulation", but at least the question "why does the regulation exist?" remains nearby. I think it's also the more democratic approach: rather than putting the incentive mechanism in the hands of a judge, democratically elected governments take direct measures to protect their citizens.

I think it is safe to conclude the battery housing was breached, but so did the containment chamber but it is not a given that it was the OP that did the piercing.

Agreed that every LiIon powered product carries these risks, but even when you are very careful material defects can and do occasionally crop up. But here there is - for now - not enough information to determine whether this was a a charger issue, a manufacturing defect, a case of abuse or even a combination of some of these.
In Case I Die
Happy birthday, Perl.

Paradoxically, Perl 6/Raku's extremely long development cycle has led to Perl 5 "stagnation", in other words stability, which is a good thing.

Personally, I didn't like that Perl has spoiled the concept of regexps with (Turing-complete?) constructs when it originally was beautifully aligned with the regular/context-free-and-above language dichotomy.

And that Perl came to replace my beloved, and portable, awk/shell scripts.

Aaand that Perl, for a while, usurped the ".pl" file suffix, when everybody knows it belongs to Prolog programs.
No. I've read the license text though, and I've read countless articles on the GPL. You are welcome to research it yourself to confirm this if you'd like.
Reading stories like this makes me very sad about the state of my profession. Something that is supposed to be a simple stupid logging library is on the front pages of the mainstream media due to all the havoc it's causing. We really have a long way to grow up as a profession.
Yes, this is "the Llama book" -- Learning Perl. Next to read would probably be Intermediate Perl, and then probably "the Camel book", which is Programming Perl.
It will be like that.
She already did an disclosure because of the faked papers, but still trying to argument like it's not my fault they got infected.

Let's see if there are some contacts of the other co-workers/coworkers by them selves, who have been infected before the infections of the elderly started xD

Her problem is, every company should take notes of the results of testing of employees for the infection. Especially in that very sensitive area working with "elderly patients", if the companies don't take notes, they can be held responsible.

The police already said, the employer didn't show any misbehaving on that matter xD

Such a egoistic person. Should be sentenced for that.
The combination of 5 senses and non-visual ideas into visible objects makes me wonder: If/When a direct-brain-input interface is created, will what the person perceives be like a DMT trip?

I agree - HN is still an echo chamber rage machine, and people engage in the outrage and negativity on HN as much as reddit or twitter or facebook or whatever. Yes there's also articles mixed in about some niche technology topic sometimes too.
