I always found this whole bit farcical.

Firstly, if God is the one who exercises judgement in the first place in the form of who goes to heaven and who does not, then (as is written elsewhere in the Bible) what God says is good, is good, and what God says is bad, is bad, for no intrinsic reason other than God says it is so. When I do the good, I want to do it because I have some stock in the moral value or principle being maximized, not because some deity arbitrarily commanded it.

Secondly, if God is the source of all moral judgement, then he could just arbitrarily decree that repentance is now a thing instead of making Jesus suffer for our sins. In the same breath Christians assert that moral values come from God (if God says it is good, it is good, if God says it is bad, it is bad), but that Jesus had to suffer, to what, to make God decide to be more lenient with how he interprets our sins? How is that supposed to be inspiring? Makes God seem sadistic more than anything. But then when God contradicts his own moral values (i.e. murder in some of the old parables) Christians of course once again say no, this isn't immoral because God says it is not. Which is it? Either morality is whatever God says it is, and Jesus dying on the cross served absolutely no purpose, or God is a sinner and cannot/should not contradict his own moral tenants (but does because there is no one there to "judge" him), in which case Jesus dying on the cross makes some sense because morality is some force above and more powerful than god.

Right, because killing your neighbour is worth being able to go to your favourite restaurant.

I mean, if we are to accept the absurd take that civil liberties were under attack because of the response to a global pandemic, something that didn't happened, then it's equally possible that the people against lockdowns and other measures are just whining, because they are slightly inconvenienced by rules that may prevent their fellow humans' deaths.

Metrics are really good, and really can help you reason about what will happen to usage when you add, remove or change a feature. There are two better / essential tools: First, dog food / use your product if you can. I build recruiting software. When I hire developers, I am a user, just like my customers. You'll really feel the impact of defects and bad assumptions have, and it will really help you understand how to make users happy. The second is to work closely with a few customers. This way you have someone who can heat check the metrics and confirm they are having the same experience you do when you dog food, to make sure you are not being led to an alternate reality.
I have this monitor. It is insane value for money and gives you a beautiful picture.
I have no brand loyalty whatsoever, but all my monitors have been Eizo's Since I bought Eizo Nanao Trinitron CRT monitors in 1990s. I'm a lazy shopper and those things are high quality every way. I still have FlexScan EV2303W's from 2009 or 2010 and use them daily.

Much of it is likely due to strength or weaknesses of various medical systems, as well as density/distribution of population. Remember this tracks deaths only, not case rates or hospitalization generally. I tend to think if you went into a hospital in Sweden, you got good care.

The US did fairly well, but you also have to consider there are large areas that are very spread out geographically, large suburbs, etc.

Seems like places that did the worst -- outside of the first wave when nobody was prepared -- are what you'd expect: places with poor, dense populations, and worse infrastructure.
I would humbly suggest that you don't post personal information just because someone on the internet is making a comment in extremely poor form - you don't have anything to prove to them. Flag their comment (it's a pretty egregious violation of the HN guidelines) and attend to the people who are making good points.

HN may be one of the best places for discussion on the internet, with some of the best moderators, but even here, you get people who aren't interested in having civil discussions.
Yes, good call. And I did just check.

A wrong password = no email.

Correct password from different IP = exact same email saying "Someone just used your master password to try to log in to your account from a device or location we didn't recognize"

That's the exact same email I received earlier with the Brazil IP.
I'd love to hear more about this. Do you have any reading material or tutorials that helped you get started?
The third year of medical school is often the lowest point of morale in medical training, even worse than the long hours of internship/residency because at least in residency you are a necessary and productive team member. Being a third year medical student sent to various services as the least useful person on the floor is no-one’s calling. Life gets better in medicine as you have more of a respected role to play later of one sort or another, but there are plenty of minefields later on too. One helpful approach can be finding attendings who seem happy and asking yourself if you could follow a similar route.

It might be tempting but unfruitful to abandon medicine and dive into into programming. Unlike people switching track from physics or math grad school, you won’t be able to leverage much medicine into software engineering. Especially if, as you say, you haven’t coded anything in years, then maybe software isn’t a quite a daily calling for you either. On the other hand, there may be no better time in recent decades than now to go into programming in general for the hyper-dedicated souls among us, regardless of age.
What's your point? You're comparing apples to oranges.
Why are some people trusting anything as long as it’s against official knowledge? Sure governments have lied about things and will always do, but why would you blindly trust anything when you are so septical? Have you ever considered the possibility that non-official claims can be lies too? If you think about it, lying is much easier when you aren’t accountable for anything.
We don't have the tools to measure the complex dynamics and factors that result in innovation.
Consensus protocols 101? It seems to boil down to, 'who will subordinate' - it doesn't matter who, so long as someone does. There is a risk of interminably failing to come to consensus on a means for finding consensus, though, an infinite regression that would necessarily need to be broken by one or the other...
As some of them have found (e.g. Linus window snapping burn in, in under six months), OLEDs have real drawbacks for use as standard desktop use displays. It's why even Apple don't use OLEDs on their Macs yet, who you would expect to do so if it was just a matter of "more money = more premium" with no deference to the gaming use case.

If you're on macOS, your choice for a 27" 4K is realistically either the 'looks like 1080p' high DPI mode, or the 'looks like 1440p' high DPI mode. The 'looks like 1080p' mode makes all of the UI elements huge. The 'looks like 1440p' mode makes text slightly fuzzy as it's being downscaled from 5120x2880 to 3840x2160.

It's not terrible, but it's nowhere near as nice as the 27" 5K.
> strict understanding

Rather, a definition of atheist which allows rocks to be atheists by the fact that they lack philosophical positions is logically less strict, or weaker than a formulation that additionally requires the ability to hold such a position.

A predicate which adds restrictions is stronger, which can have disadvantages.

The weak definition lets me assign a value of true or false to is_atheist(P) for any P whatsoever. (Other than perhaps some kinds of P that create a some sort of syntactic self-referential paradox.)

> By that definition, a rock is not atheist

atheist is the negation of theist; it means "not theist". If a rock is not a not-theist, it must be a theist. Well, we don't want that, so we need to complicate things with three-valued logic, whereby is_atheist(P) can be "undefined" when P is a rock. Or else be happy with partial functions: P = rock is outside of the domain is_atheist.

The atheist rock is a rhetorical tool that uses the simplest possible definition of atheism and strictly two-valued logic.
LastPass support brushed it off, unfortunately. A second agent I talked to (after the story started picking up here) reached out to Level 2, but they also brushed it off.
61.8% of total population. Lower than the state's average but still pretty good by American standards.
Typical scam website.
I can see a few things driving this. First, I think that pretty much everybody was under more stress in that period -- anybody on the road would be less patient and less generous / more aggressive. Second, there's some sampling bias -- the people on the road would be either essential workers (underpaid, overworked, even more stressed) or oversampled from a risk-tolerant subset of the population (more inclined to see an open road as an opportunity to drive recklessly). The risk calculation of driving drunk would go down with emptier roads, too.

I think it's counterintuitive unless you account for the fact that it's intuitive to think that the roads will be empty, which should impact people's behavior. I don't think I would have bet either way, but post-facto justification seems pretty tidy.

I am having the same issue!!! One of my important passwords was leaked and in free use by a bunch of people who were all accessing my evernote account (thankfully it had nothing important in it). I've been on a spree to change my passwords since then.

I have been wondering - is this because of the following lastpass bug?

https://www.zdnet.com/article/lastpass-bug-leaks-credentials...
Unfortunately, I just tried and that email is sent when the correct master password is sent.

When someone uses the wrong password, it doesn't send any email. (That event is logged though, and I see those failed attempts in the dashboard -- those, I'm less worried about, obviously)
> I agree with all of that but none of those verses use the term omniscient.

If the axis of your response is going to be this, then I suggest we only continue speaking about the Bible on the level of Koine Greek for the New Testament and Hebrew for the Old.

I just picked up a pair of P3222QE monitors. Kind of pricey but hands down the best monitors I've owned. I think it's too big to be "Retina" at 4K, but I really can't see any pixels.

I still find it hard to believe though that I can't change the brightness via the keyboard though in state of the art monitors. Does anyone know of any monitors where this is possible, or do they mostly require you to go through the terrible built in controls?

it's a matter of connectors and display bandwidth. Apple's extra-expensive display doesn't use HDMI or DisplayPort connectors, it uses a proprietary connector.

edit: I'm wrong on that. oops. apparently that invalidates my entire point. (it doesn't)

display bandwidth matters, and connectors are where display bandwidth goes to die. apple had to design a special one for the bandwidth requirements of that display.

it's not so much a matter of panels, but display protocol bandwidth and connectors that allow it.

even Microsoft have the Surface Studio, and it's excellent 4500x3000 display, and it's only available as part of the Surface Studio because that's the cheapest way they can get the display bandwidth all the way to the screen. eliminate the connectors and hardwire it.

this is also why laptops (especially apple laptops) have such good displays. they don't have to destroy the signal integrity with connectors, and they can use more wires to carry the signal than HDMI or DisplayPort allow.

high resolution, high framerate monitors just won't happen over DisplayPort or HDMI without serious advances. I expect a new connector to appear before that.
Definitely get comfortable with independent recruiters. I've written a few blurbs about this to people who've contacted me here on HN.

Basically the incentives make sense, to a point. They get paid a quarter of your first annual compensation. So they want to place someone, and they will do a lot for you if you are a profile that seems like a match for the roles they are covering.

Note it's important that you find people who actually have the goods. There are a lot of recruiters who seem to think spamming peoplev with crap is a way to get placements.

The thing to do is look at the jobs you like, for finance that's on efinancial and one or two others, and then call the most pertinent recruiters. Don't use the application systems, they're a black hole. Get the person on the phone, sell yourself, hopefully get some interviews lined up.

The really good recruiters will keep the relationship open. They call me now and again to check my status (I'm also a hiring manager prospect), they call to ask me technical questions, and they get me to refer people I know as well. It's actually a lot of work if you consider the average candidate is only going to change jobs a few times in their life.

And yes, keep organised, try to know where you are with each firm. It's important not to get introduced by different recruiters to the same firm, it messes with that incentive I mentioned and the recs are scared of being the second person to intro someone.
I agree that you can glean trends from inaccurately reported data, but I'm asking because I want to know if there is a source that is attempting accurate reporting in Florida, or if Florida is counting things differently than they were a while ago.
I do not prefer "scripting", but dynamic typing + poor language design.

There are dyn typed langs with langs with nice designs. I like Ruby and IOScript. All lisp-like languages. And there are several dyn typed fit-for-embedded langs implemented in Rust that are very promising. This is very much my own opinion, I know. But reading the article's "cons of Lua" I immediately remembered my fight with that language.

Personally I prefer typed languages nowadays. The stronger the better, as long as there is good IDE support.
> Some student candidates had proposed an interesting idea of trying to blend the two colors. [...] I like this idea a lot, but it seems problematic in light of the fact that we don’t have such a clear and unambiguous means of combining colors.

Not if we use RGB, send the color as a tuple of three numbers and average both tuples (taking the floor for example if one of the numbers is odd).
While that's true, a solid chunk (1/3) of suicides are based on pretty short cycles. That's why preventing a suicide is so valuable - 1/3 people you prevent are no more likely to attempt suicide again than a random person on the street. And that's without any psychological intervention. With therapy, that number gets even higher.
Im 100 % atheist, but i found the jewish faith pretty fascinating. Its one of the few religions, that besides indoctrination - encourage a hacker mentality. One is praised for studying the books and finding "workaround" that allow to "hack" the religious framework without repercussions by the comunity.
It has also managed to thrive, timelessly in alot of hostile circumstances.

In my mind, while all religion might be nonsense, this model applied to science is a winning team. If its a hacker mentality though, then i guess this site will have to do as a spiritual practice. It spins fertilizer from thin air and sun, it has electrically charged stones from the dessert reciting prayers and preventing a world with billions from collapse.

That must be enough for spirituality.
An iPad Pro is only 12.9” and you’re stuck with one resolution. You’re better off buying the 24” LG 4K (I think. Don’t remember it being configurable.)

That said, it makes a very good external monitor for mobile use.
So there were high degrees of heard immunity… but then Omicron came which has pretty high immune escape, and so it spreads all over, whether you were vaccinated or not, had COVID before or not. And then it finds those who were neither vaccinated nor previously had COVID and puts them in the hospital. Spreads so quickly that the hospital system is overloaded even if the Case Hospitalization Rate isn’t that high.

So it’s gonna expose everyone regardless, therefore it is a kind of herd exposure, if not herd immunity. Hopefully, in combination with the previous exposure, the transmissibility will be lowered by this “herd exposure” so in future waves the hospital system won’t be hit as hard.

It’s roughly less than half as lethal as Delta, other things being equal. In combination with boosted+vaccination, the risk is pretty low, comparable to flu or perhaps lower now that we have better treatments.

We need the pan-coronavirus vaccines, though, in addition to these less lethal variants, to really bring this down to background seasonal flu/cold virus levels. (And it wouldn’t hurt if we finally fixed the HIV pandemic so variants don’t mutate so much. And fix vaccine logistics further so we have a prayer to deploy vaccines before literally everyone gets it like Omicron.)

Coronaviruses normally don’t mutate as fast as the typical seasonal flu since they don’t do recombination as efficiently. So we SHOULD be able to keep up with it. But our main vaccine strain is now 2 years old. You can’t expect that to work well forever.
> Why is <220 ppi a dealbreaker?

Because it's very blocky and not pleasant to use.
Yes, when I invariably had to debug the first UAF in Zig I did pause for a bit and pondered my rust. It's definitely an argument against Zig that is unlikely to go away anytime soon.

> Why do we need to baptize infants? Because they have original sin. How could they get it if they haven't done anything?

Because the idea of original sin doesn't, or only superficially, has anything to do with wrongful acts. What the idea of original sin is about that humans, by their very nature and in their being are confronted with evil. Or if you want a secular version call it injustice, or the ethical and the unethical, but certainly I did not need Catholicism to see that humans are, by virtue of simply being human, not 'sinless'. If there was nothing to the idea of humans being sinful, then living a moral life would not be a struggle, we'd be 'divine' by nature and as Chesterton says just walking across the street rids most people of that idea very quickly.

>If it makes sense to you you probably never thought about it much.

Pretty much the other way around. When I was 15 it made less sense to me than it does now exactly because I hadn't thought about it much. Part of having a proper and mature understanding when arguing about religious issues is to learn to take things seriously and not as literally as many people do today.
I only stored that LastPass master password in a KeePass file that I keep local and (obviously) encrypted.

I hadn't logged into to that LastPass account since 2017.

Hence, I presumed that my KeePass file might have been compromised, but it seems unlikely now, considering many other people (6? 7?) are coming to this thread with a similar story of their master passwords being known to the "Brazil" attackers as well.

i.e. our master passwords have been leaked. By when? And by whom?
I really wanted the 27-inch LG UltraFine 5K (https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27md5kl-b-5k-uhd-led-monit...), but I heard many complains about it not being as reliable as you'd expect, then I decided to get the LG UltraFine 4K (https://amzn.to/3qs2pFW) a little over a year ago, and I don't regret at all spending so much more for a display, than I'd normally expect to.

Now, I want to update to Apple's Pro Display XDR, but can't justify paying ~7 times more on it for now. Although 24-inch and 4K was a huge improvement for someone like me, used to only using a MacBook display (I spend the workday programming, and love photography), I still feel like 4K isn't enough.

I can't comfortably open my editor/browser, while also watching a video, for example. For some time I've tried to use my MacBook 15 Pro as a second display, but that didn't work either. I hate the fact that there're small differences in color/brightness, even though the quality of either individually is superb (the external is slightly better)... The only thing that helped a little bit with regards to using multiple displays was using the iPad to play videos thanks to AirPlay, but this is suboptimal.
Got the same but from NJ.

A lot of this depends on the distance of the monitor to your face. High actual DPI matters more if the screen is close to your eyes. Do a 24" 4k is great at close range, but if you move the screen 8in-12in back, a 32in 4K can work just as well.
I will put another monitor into the mix because it is the first of its kind and might interest some: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1621993-REG/lg_27ep95...

It is a full 27" OLED panel for $$$ ($3,000), but it is not the highest DPI at only 4K resolution

I don't think Zig has any particular Valgrind support, it's just a binary after all. In order to properly utilize valgrind though you're going to have to change from the GPA or whatever allocator you're using to the libc one so that Valgrind can trace memory allocations correctly via preloading.
I agree to a point, the perfect laptop isn't user serviceable laptop, but indestructible laptop. That it should last 10 years without failing ( ignoring software update ).

Or the service of the my laptop wasn't price gouged to the point forcing users buying a new laptop. Unfortunately Apple has somehow literally made it a mission to drive their AppleCare services revenue. And others in the industry completely neglect after sales services. ( Unless you have on-site repairing )

My view is that Framework wasn't born out of fun, nerds' needs or ideology. I mean who start a new PC company in 2020 for fun? In a near negative margin business. It was born out of frustration after users have been shouting for years and the industries completely ignore them while milking them for repeated purchases. Apple's MacBook Pro 2016 design and response add the final fuel to move the inertia that enough is enough.
