I spent years building:

1. an 'abstract visual debugger'

2. a new kind of program editor

—and I made the same critical mistake in both cases: I didn't treat the programs as sufficiently exploratory. I reached a point in each where I thought the idea was good enough that with my limited resources I should jump directly to building the real/production version.

Both were far too big/complex for me to build production versions of alone, though I could've iterated on design issues through prototyping and probably attracted investors to build for real.

Looking back I think part of what underlay this poor decision was partly a form of perfectionism, and partly that I didn't know good tech for prototyping at the time.

Literal survivorship bias.

There may also be a hard-to-infect/hard-to-seroconvert portion of the population left that could practically walk unmasked through a COVID ward in a hospital and not get infected. If they exist then the seronegative proportion of the population will start to be composed mostly of them over time through "purifying selection".

This is also why I'm somewhat skeptical about all the vaccine efficacy numbers that studies are throwing around. I don't think an adequate control group exists any more.

This is quite infuriating. We had a pretty good window when we could have done something about this and we totally squandered it.

How much transfer is there in animal populations? Do we have any idea of the size of the populations affected? How does this translate to the original spillover event? After all, there must have been an animal reservoir prior to someone in Wuhan becoming the index patient.

We do similar things for various other animal borne plagues with varying degrees of success but there is more than one example of a successful eradication.

I see a lot of people saying "who cares, it's just a site, so what if you're banned". But I am reading about people losing connections with relatives, friends, business partners, unable to access services and have their lives upended because somebody, somewhere, for some undisclosed reasons, and without any recourse, decided to cancel their account. I suspect it's going beyond "just some site". And we either need a public awareness campaign for people to stop their reliance on such sites so much in their public lives, or find some solution to the immense control that companies like Facebook have on people's life and how abusive this control has become.

People that have platforms with millions of listeners should start using their platforms - not just to make their friend unbanned this one time, but to illuminate the dangers of the dystopian situation we're sleepwalking into. People should know that facebook is unreliable, erratic, capricious platform, where you could get randomly excluded for life without any recourse, and friends shouldn't let friends use facebook, at least not for anything remotely important.
In any other product, this would be a red flag. What is special about it? What unstable APIs have they used? If they've done that, what other things have they done?

You are mixing concepts that are at different levels.

Free software is an answer to an ethical / political issue (user rights).

Systemd is an answer to a technical problem (how to manage system services, to simplify a lot).

And to each their own. It's good you found something that suits you in Devuan, but it has never been easier for me to tweak my systems since systemd landed on the distributions I use. Writing a service is a breeze, including free software I wrote. Things are fast at last. It took over for reasons, and I think those reasons are technical excellence and easier maintenance burden for distributions. I'm very happy with systemd. I don't feel like it "suppresses aspects of free software development" at all.

Hi Jens! I also worked on it a few years ago, trying to solve the smaller cases using Linear Programming: https://github.com/thomasahle/snyd . These are the most common "one on one" cases I've encountered, since usually at pubs there are more than two players when the number of dice is large! :)

I also found the CFR papers really confusing for a long time. The papers have a lot of strange notation. But I think I finally got it, and it's very simple! I can write more about it, if I end up writing a blog post about this project.

define party1 = persons(type:ltd, with_registration_no: 12345)
define party2 = persons(type:natural, with_name:"Chris", with_address: "Acacia Avenue")
define term = 1 year

try:

while date < term
{
if party1.dosomethings
then party2.pay(agreed_price) && party2.dosomethings
}

catch breach:

party_at_fault=breach.causing_party()
party_not_at_fault=(if party_at_fault == party1 ? party1 : party2)
party_at_fault.pay(if damages < limitationofliability ? damages : limitationofliability)
if party_not_at_fault.chooses(terminate())

juridiction.set_jurisdiction(exclusive_mode)
boilerplate.apply

I could go all evening at expanding this. Anyone fancy adding obligations, termination, confi etc.?

I’ve been working on a tool to do this based on a simple Python file watcher, web server and https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/ It just turns regular code into markdown code blocks and /** comment contents pass through to the markdown —> HTML pipeline. A little JS websocket and you get an auto-updating preview from any editor to any browser every time you ctrl-s.

Not much time to work on it lately. But, I’ll Show HN when I put it on Github.

`cargo doc`

docs.rs runs it for every crate (rust library) uploaded to crates.io.

When actually working with rust, I recommend running `cargo doc --open` semi frequently. It generates that documentation from all your dependencies, and your own code, links it all together (with search no less) and opens it in a browser.

Note that it only uses doc comments, which are distinct from normal comments (/// instead of //, only allowed in certain places, //! Instead of /// to apply to the parent item instead of the next item).
There's no reason why you couldn't be offered both, access via your phone and a physical key/fob.

If access is granted digitally (rather than being statically issued via fob), then you could be able to grant people permission to enter dynamically. That way any number of devices could service the role of being a key.

You could use a phone, you could use a smart watch, you could use a QR code, you could use a smart fob or even something like a surgically embedded smart fob (into your hand).

Perhaps something as simple as SSH style private/public key exchange would suffice.

You could allow access to your apartment, car, workplace, gym through a web portal. Much like Github repository permission, match access to a person's identity. Perhaps you give some people free access while others you'd like to see a push notification for.

As far as security goes, while a fob is stealabe and cloneable, digital identities (think oauth-oidc) are significantly harder to obtain ilictly and it's also probably cheaper than the fob system.
There's hundreds of apps doing this do assume that what is missing is a differentiating feature.
Another challenge with translations is the trade-off between conveying literal words or meaning. As a simple example, a literal translation of an idiom from a 5,000 year old culture in a far-off place will not be understood, or be misunderstood, by a person living in NYC today reading it on the Internet. Does the translator convey the literal words or convey the meaning using modern words (maybe idioms) that contain the same nuances?
Oh that’s excellent. I’m surprised YouTube’s official embed code doesn’t use these tricks.
I am old enough to remember when the internet was about open standards and everybody could run any service including email servers without much hassle.
The internet was meant to be used by people who knew how the internet worked. Herein lies the problem.

This might sound like gatekeeping, and maybe it is. When these systems were designed, they were not designed to be used by everyone. They were not designed to be commodities that are bought and sold, with the most valuable trinket available being the attention of the user. But this is where we are.

Few are capable of running their own _anything_ on the internet, and even fewer have the desire to do it, because if you run it well for yourself (as an individual), someone else will want you to do it for them because you are already doing it, so it's not that much more work, right? \s

Decentralization limits monetization of anything, so that is going to be a non-starter for investment of resources. Unless you are trying to have your infrastructure survive a nuclear war, no one is going to provide the means to build anything big unless you can sell it or the users of it.

The notion that anything really works on the internet with the assumptions that were made in the 70s and 80s, and the realization that what holds most of it together is the blood and sweat of ops, duck tape, and fever dreams consistently astonishes me. In the not so distant past, someone paid me to write them a custom FTP server. In the 21st century. It's like being asked to whittle an engine block out of a tree.
It's not just that it's embedded in some of the university boilerplate that the students probably have on all their syllabuses, it's that it doesn't read like anything, certainly not a promise of a free $50.

Groups breaking the license is relatively uncommon, and even now it's possible that tiktok will rectify the violation. I didn't get the feeling you were focusing on license violators with your comment, but if you were I guess either definition works.
The vaccines are quite effective against severe disease and death from Omicron due to somatic hypermutation.

The people who are vaccinated against original Wuhan-Hu-1 make memory B-cells against Omicron as well. Even after boosting with Wuhan-Hu-1 spike antigen the neutralization titers against Omicron in the blood are high, even after all the spike mutations.

And again, there are around a thousand T-cell epitopes to spike and around 80% of them are conserved with Omicron, and there is very, very good reason to think that number doesn't ever get close to zero.

Your naive model of how the immune system works like a key and lock where if you change one of the pins then the vaccine stops working entirely is deeply flawed.

The human immune system is the end product of a hundreds of millions of years arms race between organisms and pathogens, and this isn't its first trip around the block with a pandemic virus that mutates. The whole way the humoral/memory immune system works is designed to deal with mutations.

The houses in USA are already made almost from the cardboard. You can not call a bunch of "two by four" wooden planks nailed together a modern home.

If we do really care about people not being homeless as we claim we do, I suggest as a first step we cancel all the construction regulations. Temporarily. For the next 20 years. Then, extend the cancellation indefinitely.
That's a good point: having a control group is pretty much a must to be able to get reliable numbers on efficacy and any future vaccine or medicine is going to have to some extent work with corrupted data from day #1.

you can write concise Java, and don't need to use Spring or similar. even then (and arguably especially then), Java IDEs (intellij, netbeans, eclipse) are a huge win since they natively speak the strong static typing and AST, allowing you to refactor much more aggressively than you otherwise could

netbeans is my personal favorite - you can throw (at least, on low end hardware) 50ish large interconnected codebases at it (microservices, libraries, frameworks, etc) and it can find usages / change signatures / rename across all of them with almost perfect results (reflection, serialization and unsafe usages are the only places i've seen them miss). intellij isn't quite as seamless for that many projects, but the code understanding is similar
I will bow out here, if you don't mind.
Thank you for putting into words what I believe is the legitimate counter argument to the idea that choosing not to use a product you don’t like is the proportionate response to that product.

Because Facebook exists, it displaces other avenues for social connection that have been used previously. Facebook hurts you, even if you don’t choose to use it.
In my case it is really simple.

If I need a Java program I install IDEA. It has support for all the java frameworks, supports all the build tools, can connect to a database and show me the data inside of it.

If I code C/C++ i install CLion and do the same, with an amazing debugger etc.

When I install VSCode I got nothing. I got a glorified text editor and that's it. I first need to install what feels like thousands of plugins, only for half of those to not work, then install fifty more because I forgot I even needed those until I did.

Or to put it more simply: I don't want a text editor, I want an IDE.

If someday someone can give me a download link for a VSCode release that has all the necessary plugins for a certain language already preinstalled and does not require me to install anymore or care about how/why this stuff works then I will give it a try.

But for now I will switch with my IDE. It might not be as FOSS as other stuff, but it is more comfortable to use, enables me to be productive and it just works. That's what matters to me
Working with a team that does this right now. Kinda hate it. It's too easy to spend a ton of time rewriting your response. There's a bot to help out - Asks you a set of questions and compiles and formats it nicely, and that only makes it worse.
> And if your not vaccinated, the ability to save you will be less than the vaccinated

Is there any evidence that this is true at the point of presenting with equal acute symptoms? Sure, your symptoms are likely to be less acute if you are vaccinated, but that's not the issue, the issue is response to treatment given similar symptoms.

As someone that works in psychedelic research I must say that this book did more for the acceptance of psychedelics as a legitimate therapy with mainstream America than anything, ever.

The number of “straight-laced”, “9 to 5” people that have mentioned this book to me when they find out what I do is so high I pretty much expect it at this point. I personally was bored reading the book but only because I am so familiar with the space and I don’t find his writing terribly interesting but I truly believe his book did more to legitimize psychedelics than anything that came before it. People used to think I was some fringe weirdo before that book, now I’ve had strangers tell me I’m “their hero.” That’s not a joke. I’ve had two different people, on two different occasions say that to me, and both of them mentioned his book.
