No plug-in or extension. I dug in when I first learned about it because I wanted to make sure I understood how it would impact browser security when it was not in use. The strategy differs per browser, but essentially they launch the supported browsers with a self-signed certificate and a custom profile. No configuration changes needed for the browser, which is really nice.

I don't think we'll have a huge problem in general but things will become less convenient. Water based paints any consumer can buy at any point and use without worrying too much and get decent results in any color you name are great.

We might have a harder time with traditional limewash. It is rather caustic and takes a long time to prepare. And while you can achieve different colors with it, it's not the uniform easy perfectness modern paints have. It also has to be re-applied periodically, so it's not as hands off.

It's a bit like gyp rock. You can buy these sheets that go up quickly and easily even for the lay person (I've built a wall). Lathe and plaster existed before that and worked well enough. It's a lot more work though.
The problem with Python type checking is that the general community still does not write libraries with types. On the other hand, the JS community is further along and most libraries written today include TS files. I think the same will happen with Python, but it obviously takes time.
I imagine that Zig has a lot more focus on "I can't use X in my environment" types of situation. It seems that for many such situations it might be a better fit than Rust.
My late dad has had one for over 20 years. It was there to monitor the babysitter, but it's still monitoring our house. We had a break in once and the camera didn't do a damn thing. The footage was valid reason to fire a couple of babysitters, though. We've caught family members stealing on camera, and we've caught monkeys stealing too. The footage is useful for fairly differentiating the two.

Maybe because I grew up with it in a high crime area, I don't see it as a problem. The living room is not a private place, it's a semi-public space like the backyard. Private places were things like bedrooms and bathrooms. The maid and babysitter works in the living room and would act like someone would in an office with people in it.

Privacy has a price. Since we live in a fairly high crime area (where crimes were committed by people who lived there), it was an acceptable cost to lose privacy of a large area of our home. I'm not okay with FB selling my personal info, because I don't get enough in exchange. But I pay the privacy toll to WhatsApp because they're part of the communications infrastructure.
I ended up following this process when I upgraded to 10 some years ago. It's worth mentioning that Windows will continually prompt me to link an account to my machine at sign in. It's only a single box to click through, and my boot up process has been streamlined in other ways that makes this a very minor annoyance, but it is worth pointing out.
> it cannot leave the input data as an undecoded bag of bytes

But all it's doing here is taking a hex string (which is entirely ASCII) and converting it into the respective hex representation. Since ASCII translates unambiguously to bytes, it doesn't really matter if `str[0]` is operating on a byte stream, codepoint stream or grapheme stream, because in utf8, they're all the same thing as long as we're within the ASCII range.

Where things get hairy is stuff like `str.reverse()` over arbitrary strings that may or may not be in ASCII. This repo[0] talks about some of the challenges associated with conflating characters with either bytes or codepoints. The problem is that programming languages often approach strings from the wrong angle: you can't just tack on handling of multi-byte codepoints on top of ascii handling; you lose O(1) random access and you don't actually model the linguistic domain properly by doing so, because in the first place, humans think of characters not in terms of bytes or codepoints, but in terms of grapheme clusters. Clustering correctness falls deep in the realm of linguistics, and is therefore arguably more suitable to be handled by a library than a programming language.

I guess commenter would agree with you. They're adding a point that, on top of what you said, hiring a new dev (more likely and frequent in many cases than a sudden quit) would also trigger pains similar to a sudden quit.
Just as developers are responsible for the codebase. Yet folks seem rather receptive to the concept of technical debt. It’s not much of stretch to imagine organizational debt caused by pesky human problems.
It is simply natural/biological. A bit like eating good food or having sex is pleasurable and essential but of course in a different way.

Your body is tuned for that and without it you lack something (way more true for females). You might be able to put something in its place, but it might not do the job.

Consider that when a men is in presence of youngs kids his hormonal balance change so he become more caring, more in tune to their needs. When they get older that phase out and the kids become more annoying, signaling that it’s time for them to find their way, to distantiate themselves progressively from their parents.
I found out that I cannot stand anymore the kids movie I used to watch with them multiple times when they were younger.

I find also that the life in big cities is less conducive to having a family, we tend to think about the space we have (bedrooms) and size of cars to decide on family size where it should go in the other direction. If I was younger I would have move to the country sooner and have four kids instead of just two.

I think it give your life meaning to care for people that are going to outlive you. You have to think about their future, how can you help them develop in a good directions, what are their specifics needs to maximize their potential, what did you wish was done for you that you can pass on to them.

Female are more tuned to the need for kids. Most of the time they will know the right time and will push enough to make things happen.

Of course, if you're an hourly employee and don't (as you mostly shouldn't) have non compete clauses of some sort it's mostly fine. However, as a salaried employer who generally can't also work for a competitor, it's pretty scummy unless it's something unrelated and you're putting in your hours--which it would be hard to do. I'm sure there are "life hacking" people who think this is fine but it's really not.

Stop whining about whining about Rust hype.

We don't need to know that your new shell / grep / text editor is coded in Rust. If it's good, it's good for other reasons, and those reasons are certain to be overwhelmingly more interesting. If it's bad, it's just bad, and that won't save it. We especially don't need to know in the title.

We especially don't need to know your (embarrassingly outdated) opinions about other languages. Those just invite us to point out your mistakes, which will tend to distract readers from what would surely have been deserved admiration for your work.

There is no harm in mentioning implementation languages in the bit at the end where you invite people to send patches, for what ought to be the one obvious reason. [Edit: an announcement about a library clearly needs to mention who can use it.]

> If you compare last-week's data in today's release with those released last week, you'll see a substantial refinement as new sequencing data roll in.

They're doing their best, but these "Nowcast" numbers are horribly unreliable. Fortunately, that's not a big deal but hear my whole post out...

Last week, two weeks ago was Nowcast as 2.something%. Now the revised numbers is like 11% for two weeks ago.

To be fair: the error bars were like 0.1% to 16% on that estimate (so they "weren't wrong"... but with error bars this huge, there's no point trying to get into the nitty gritty). But even today, we can see the "73% Nowcast estimate" as an error bar of 35% to 95%.

---------

The error bars are huge, but given the rate at which Omicron outcompetes Delta, we know that Omicron is doubling in roughly every 3 days. With an estimate of 30% (smallest case scenario for Omicron), we'll be at 99.9% by next week. It doesn't matter if we're at 30% today or 95% today. 99.9% Omicron is certain in the near future.

We don't know if we're at 30% now or 95% now. But the era of Omicron dominance is among us right now, or maybe even a few days ago. That's incredibly important news, we may not know the exact time or day, but this is the best advanced warning we're gonna get.

Omicron is here. Hopefully we all know what the new rules are by now...

> Why does every Linux desktop have to accomodate all the whims of every user?

is exactly right.

I think having strongly opinionated desktops to choose from is a good thing, and that that kind of pluralism is more likely to lead to the development of new ideas and execute them well than pluralism within desktops.

I wish that XDG standards ran deeper (for example, that there was just a single, well-supported VFS implementation for all DEs, and that drag-and-drop could be handled in a universally compatible way). But in terms of experiences, I think differences between DEs is a good thing, and that some DEs should have a narrower focus than others so that they can execute their visions better.
Those are some really wide 95% confidence intervals. As it is right now:

Delta 26.6%, 95% CI: 5.1%-65.8%
Omicron 73.2%, 95% CI: 34.0%-94.9%
Others 0.1%, 95% CI: 0.0-0.4%

That's not to say that Omicron isn't the majority of COVID cases (it probably is), but compared with previous weeks the intervals are really huge.

I believe, that logic should be different. When you consider tank, you assume that some random process of sampling took one tank out of all tanks that existed from start to end. The reasoning assume that you might get any tank, with a serial number 1 or 500 or whatever. Any existed number.

When you look at civilisation with nuclear power, then sampling process had no chances to took civilisation existed for 120 years. Even if civilisation could live for 120 years. It is a different process of data generation, so the reasoning must be different.

Good news! Apache DolphinScheduler 2.0.1 version is officially released today!
In this version, DolphinScheduler has undergone a microkernel + plug-in architecture improvement, 70% of the code has been refactored, and the long-awaited plug-in function has also been emphatically optimized. In addition, there are many highlights in this upgrade, such as a one-click upgrade to the latest version, “de-ZK” in the registration center, and new task parameter transfer functions, etc.
Yes! I am a reviewer for PullRequest and since I've been doing reviews with them I've been involved in at least one major review where I was given the opportunity to review the entire codebase.

I'm just a reviewer and can only comment on what I've experienced. But I can say that what you're asking has definitely been done.
I used to be sick with sinusitis every single year(especially winters) for approx. 8 years. I don't even want to count how many packs of antibiotics did I consume during that time.

One September, I started to shower myself with cold water at least once a day.

It's been 4 years now and I haven't taken a single antibiotic since.

It also has a great mental effect - doing something a bit uncomfortable every single day makes it easier to do something else that's also uncomfortable.
> The wavefunction is certainly physically meaningful in the sense that you can't predict experimental results without computing its behaviour (or something equivalent to it).

The wavefunction in Bohmian mechanics is just as interesting and unreal as the Hamiltonian in classical statistical mechanics. Which is to say that, sure, you still need something like it to calculate outcomes and what you observe will conform to it, but that doesn't make it real. The particles are real here, and they just follow a law of motion described by the wave function.

> given that elementary particles are not directly observable, couldn't we just declare that e.g. electrons are "not real" and merely describe a law of experimental results?

Sure, that's what ontology is all about: define what's real (base axioms), and derive what else we observe in terms of what you consider real. This needs to fit into a coherent total picture, and you want one that's general and parsimonious.

For MWI, the wavefunction is real and the grooves are real worlds that evolve in parallel, and the particles don't have any independent existence. In Bohmian mechanics, the particles are real and follow a law of motion described by the wave function, but the latter doesn't have any physical existence.

> It's not really derived, rather something equivalent to the Born rule is included as one of those postulates.

I don't think that's correct. To my knowledge, distributions conforming to the Born rule [1] are guaranteed in all but highly anomalous initial configurations, akin to how thermodynamics ensure that entropy always increases except again, in highly anomalous initial configurations. And even for the majority of anomalous distributions, evolution under the Bohmian dynamics is very likely to converge to the Born rule anyway [2].

Because this quantum equilibrium is a hypothesis and not a postulate, this leaves open the possibility that Bohmian mechanics can be experimentally differentiated from orthodox QM, but no one has figured out a way to actually create such distributions.

Anyway, this is all an interesting academic exercise and I don't think Bohmian mechanics is nearly as problematic as some physicists think, but it's unlikely to go anywhere given the little investment it receives.

WiFi isn’t that simple: every generation makes substantial improvements in things like how they handle contention with multiple clients or interference. Since most of us have more than one device active these days, that is noticeable — especially if you have devices which also talk to each other rather than exclusively over the internet.

When I replaced my 2016 OnHub + Google WiFi mesh with an Eero WiFi 6 system, I saw across the board improvements in latency and bandwidth from almost every client (faster ones more than doubled). We also lost the sporadic hangs for iOS devices which Google never fixed for totally innocent reasons.

Just sticking to places with it in a simple format, there's S gene target failure rates for San Diego [0] and University of Washington [1]. I don't know if Kristian Andersen's lab has that info anywhere else, but UW has it online somewhere else, just can't reach it on my phone.

It looks like both Scripps and UW are listing SGTF rates at >70% now, as of yesterday. Given that San Diego and certain counties within Washington are >70% omicron, the CDC nowcast listing it as 73% (for the nation?) doesn't seem crazy as an average.

Edit: I just noticed you asked for sequencing info, but SGTF seems to be a good enough measure. Sequencing is slow, so you'll always be ~1 week out. Andersen's data is particularly good IMHO because they list Ct values <=30 and >30. It's been a pet peeve of mine for some time that certain labs run the PCR tests to Ct >40, since that could be positive with ~1 RNA molecule meaning it's unlikely that's a real infection (at least at the time of the test).

> Since you're on HN you're probably more intelligent and somewhat more disciplined than the general population. I doubt that what works for you would scale to the population at large

IME, it's never been a discipline issue.

It's always been a "Crack is for the rich; but we're not rich; we're working class" issue.

Simply having money leads to better/healthier sources of pleasure, a more stable emotional state, and another, competing "addiction": a paycheck.

Taking away someone's source of income is the quickest way to turn them into a drug addict (especially if they have no safety net). Add in a dash of hopelessness for the future, and we're all set to someone never getting off their feet, as they spiral into self-destruction.

I would also wager that there's a confounding "drug users in lower socioeconomic strata cannot maintain their expensive habits for long, before either: running out of money, self-destructing and blowing up what little of their lives is left, or simply OD'ing." Someone in a higher socioeconomic strata is likely to be hooked on the dopamine drip of a steady cashflow, and the "need" to keep their present level of material comfort (lest their behavioural conditioning starts throwing "fear" at them!), and thus less liable to be broke; thus, less likely to be undisciplined; thus, less likely to score poorly on IQ tests; and thus, able to keep an active drug habit.
