> children are getting lost by covid at the same rate as adults

It's harder to find than what imagined, but the closest data I found is https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm

The Table 1 compare the number of death related to covid-19 with the total number of death

* 0-17 years: 678/66,234 ~= 1.0%

* 85 years and over: 212,658/1,897,245 ~= 11.2%

So the risk of dying by covid-19 compared with all the other risk is much smaller for kids than old people. It would be interesting to compare with the total population of each age, but the difference will be bigger.

The problem is that traditional media a social media have a strong sampling bias. A dead of a kid is unusual and it will get more coverage than the dead of a 90 year old. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_bites_dog
In my experience on Linux, shared libraries can be modified while running (often causing a crash), while executables cannot (ETXTBUSY).
Calling it price discrimination is generous. Usually you'd call such activity a confidence game.

Yup. And those guys will get bonus points for actively evading detection. IANAL, but its one thing to use an open api and claim ignorance, and quite another to intentionally defeat access restrictions/rate limits. Stupid thing to do.
I hope to "retire" from softdev+devops to a job with fewer responsibilities and hours. Something that may be aligned more with social good than with web profit.

I plan to finish the degree I started, technically, 22 years ago.

I plan to go do things with local (fully vaccinated) friends. I'm not especially social so this is a big stretch for me, but my wife is on board (and then some) so it should be easy.

I hope to sleep well enough that I'll be able to work out every morning. I feel way better when I can work out every day but I risk injury if I work out while exhausted. (And I shouldn't have to do this but it is social media so: no, I haven't found a correlation between sleep quality and exercise for me).
I saw in a thread somewhere else a while ago a bit more detailed explanation:

The web page used an old .NET framework that serialized the application state, base64 encoded it, then dumped it in a hidden form field at the bottom. When you navigate pages, the data is POSTd back to the server to achieve a "stateless" web app on the server side

The reporter had to view source and base64 decode the data

Obviously still trivial but I think the laws are also very ambiguous on "decoding" and "accessing"
Nobody uses AirPods with an Android phone do they? I mean why would you, I thought the whole point of the AirPods is the advanced Apple integration?
If you own 51% or more of net you may double spend as much as you like. Essentially you get to print money for yourself, while screwing over someone.

Sure, you might fork it, but nothing prevents previous 51% mining rigs from taking over the fork.

Bitcoin like any p2p tech relies on concensus. Which is fine when it comes to torrents, less fine when it comes to online games, and downright catastrophic when it comes to money.

4. Create a culture that is highly tolerable of risk and failure.

Good article, bad title.

It’s not the price of discipline, it’s the price of enforcing discipline on others. Discipline can only be learned through personal experience, it cannot be indoctrinated as that leads to resentment.

This makes sense. It’s like telling a smoker that it will kill them. That only annoys them. They need to come to that conclusion themselves.

There are also two kinds of discipline, especially for little kids. There is the type of sacrificing pleasure for future rewards that can be learned naturally. But there is also the type of negative consequence for behavior in small children that is not acceptable but may not carry any inherent tangible negative consequence for the child to actually learn from and the parent needs to fill in. For example, children can be very rude and you can’t treat a rude kid the way you would treat a rude adult, but you need to show them this is unacceptable in some way so you take away toys or other privileges etc.
All you can do is throw yourself headlong into new experiences.

Plus, there's a hack: changing your geographic frame of reference really helps. If you can afford it and are not too attached to where you're living -- and especially if you kind of hate where you're living -- just pick up and move.
Ideally to a different climate, perhaps with a different accent or a different language altogether.

At least for a while -- 6 months to a year.

You see your brain is hardwired to 'index' new memories based on sensory cues -- light, colors, smells, sounds... and especially new faces. When these stimuli change, and especially when they all change at once -- it's like our brain opens up a whole new space to operate, and to start organizing all of these new memories and experiences in.

Like turning the page and starting a whole new chapter, as it were.
>>It is unfair to claim I've ever added any value whatsoever to the company at any point, so obviously I don't get that equity because of a value theory.

You don't receive any profit, realized or otherwise, unless the company appreciates in value, and if the company appreciates, that means you provided capital to what was an undervalued company, or a company that could produce a positive return on the investment of that capital.

Either way, your investment would likely have a net positive economic effect, and so the profit you received would be earned.

It's better for society than our current banking system, because the government considers our current system "too big to fail," so banks know that the government will bail them out if things get too bad, and the banks engage in risky behavior accordingly.

Everything will get worse.
That actually doesn't bother me at all. Any test attempting to group people into a finite number of categories will necessarily look need to limit the analysis to a finite number of dimensions. The more dimensions you look at the more groupings you'll end up with. Add those together and a consequence is you want to have fewer dimensions if possible, but not so few that the groupings are overly broad. Maybe 3 or 5 would have been better, but it's clear that thought went into the decision, and that it was obviously not an arbitrary decision.

I used to jump into new and expensive hobbies to turn a page. Didn’t really fix anything. Regular therapy has helped me a ton, and it’s been cheaper too.
Disagree. The web is clearly architected such that publishing a webpage makes it public and crawlable. You don’t “block Google”, you specify that the site is not for crawling in robots.txt according to well-known standards. This is all basically the contract of the internet and it shouldn’t be surprising to anyone.

Google specifically does not publish their API for free consumption by other companies, yet that’s what’s happening here anyway. The company is also using specific tricks to circumvent detection of the behavior.

In your analogy, this would be like a crawler ignoring robots.txt and then scraping the content for their own website with zero attribution to the source, which is nothing like Google indexing your site with full attribution and driving traffic to it for you.

Regardless, “turnabout is fair play” is unequivocally not a legally or even ethically acceptable standard, so that argument wouldn’t actually hold up anywhere anyway.
The third axis in compiler development is safety. The compiler writer’s dilemma can be framed as:

I swear. But it's not just an issue with the cheap, knockoff stuff: my Bose Soundsport Earbuds often fail, too, with the left one connecting maybe two thirds of the time. It's so infuriating. The only upside is that they were a gift rather than a purchase, so at least I don't have to suffer through the fact that I paid for this crap.
Can you elaborate on the terraform automation for gmail?
If I recall the reason is "rustc's representation of the AST is an implementation detail and unstable, thus macro code may not rely on it (and it will not be exposed)". Hence "syn" came along and provided a stable API and format. "quote" is the inverse function, turning an AST back into tokens.
You're going down dicey waters there.

Instead of using sccache and turning off incremental compilation it could help to change the approach and retain the build folder from the main branch CI builds for all other builds, since both sccache and incremental compilation are kind of overlapping with incremental compilation being the integrated solution while sccache seems to be more like a workaround?

The only people with enough power in the system to demand a change are doctors. They could, example, refuse to do procedures until the billing department gets its act together and gives patients a price up front. They could demand to know the price to fill a prescription before they write it. If doctors took collective action to resist the horror show that is medical billing it would change overnight.

In some ways you can choose to participate less, you could always go work for a small business somewhere instead of the corporations. There's only so much room for high-flying meta-commentary when you're providing value directly to the people in front of you.

I kind of picked half-way, I try and find small software businesses that are profitable and working on real world problems. Small as in 5-10 employees. Ecommerce has a lot of small business, grass-roots opportunities still, since commerce is such a core value of any society. Pays less, but I feel better.
> To contact me via email run one of the following scripts to generate my contact information. I find this is an effective filter against the deluge of emails from recruiters.

That's funny
> I feel apprehensive about the “flood of junior candidates, dearth of senior talent” dynamic.

Many people I know (myself included) are looking less at overall skillset and more for a good understanding of the fundamentals + a desire to grow and stick with a role (ethic).

That is, if you can focus on understanding the core principles of UX/design and show that you can apply those (usually by way of portfolio showing the desires, and therefore your comprehensive of the desires + the outcomes), that means a lot more because most teams realize that hiring someone is an investment and they know that it will take you time to understand how they work, their needs, etc.
Tesla would exist without Elon Musk. Elon Musk literally simply just bought the company, along with the right to call himself the "founder". Sure without Elon Musk Tesla might be more accurately valued, IE valued significantly less, but it's unclear how much social value is actually created by his showmanship.
There's a difference between exchange value and use value.
Came here to say this! Honestly, my into to docker-compose came when I realised I was starting to do the same thing (saving 'run' commands). Small learning curve for the yaml structure, but well worth it (and honestly I think it is easier to visualize the deployment when it is all nicely laid out in the compose file). Pretty much the only way I use docker now. (Also has a bonus of not really adding a bunch of overhead or complex. Just does what you need for a basic multi-container deploymnet and no more.)

> It would be cute if the Rust compiler said "I think you want a Boxed collection of strings here to use the algorithm you're attempting, change how this is represented in all the related structs too, here's how:" but that's unrealistic

I think we could provide such messages in some cases. :)

For example, if you have an impl Trait return type and have multiple returned values of different types, we suggest using Box<dyn Trait> when valid. It's just a lot of work to get those in place. You're effectively implementing a language that does those things automatically, plus all the work to print out the actual diagnostic.

> business does not serve customer's (expressed) needs, it serves customer's (revealed) buying behaviour.

This is why I find business news headlines of the form "Milennials reject X" or "Customers want Y" so cynical: It's an euphemism to talk about market pressures and buying behaviour, not what customers consciously want. By the same logic, people "want" more drugs on the street.
If I remember correctly there are generally fewer shortcut keys on macOS than the alternatives.

Things like controlling and moving windows is not supported without third party app.

Thus macOS is a more mouse centric operating system, but at the same time macOS has by default fewer mouse settings too (eg speed vs acceleration)
They've been moving more in this direction without advertising it. If you're willing to dive into depths of the settings and shortcut apps you'll find there are lots of new things possible inside the walled garden.

It's the natural progression when there is a more open competitor: if you want to keep your walled garden relevant you need to keep the alternatives less alluring.
If common CLI programs would have a --json option this would be no problem.
People say Apple doesn’t innovate anymore under Tim Apple but you see everyone wearing AirPods. Every celebrity, pundit and news anchor have used AirPods during the pandemic.
This seems like one of those features that leadership demanded with a “just make it happen” decree and no budget for API calls.

Then some developers facing a deadline cobbled together something that “just made it happen” so they could kick the can down the road with something that worked, ideally long enough to collect their bonuses and find a new job so it becomes someone else’s problem.

Or maybe Telegram the company just likes to abuse other people’s things and see how long they can get away with bad behavior. Who knows.

I actually did not skip over it. An economic reset under a Geo-Libertarian model would be very different than what you are talking about when you refer to the Authoritarian Socialist "Great Reset" proposed by the authoritarians on the US Political left.

So no as a libertarian, I would not be in favor of an Authoritarian "Great Reset", that is with out getting to unfeasible nature of the Authoritarian "Great Reset" for which you claim my libertarian model would be unworkable, but yet believe an Authoritarian "Great Reset" would be... odd
In the recent past, we were grieving the sudden passing of my father who collapsed unconscious as soon as he got off a motorcycle on which he was a pillion rider. We rushed him to the hospital where he was pronounced dead upon arrival. He had had no significant medical problems to speak of. They couldn't determine the cause of death as the facility was understaffed and overrun with patients battling the Covid-19 pandemic or other infectious diseases. We had to get out of there in no time.

A week after my father's untimely demise, my mother suffered a massive stroke and went into a coma. We brought her home after the doctors treating her at the hospital had declared her brain dead. During the hospitalization, she was diagnosed with Covid-19, which we were told caused her the ischemic stroke.

Of note, we live in a village where we have no access to healthcare at all.

As her caregivers at home, my wife (42) and I (48) were exposed to my mother while she was still comatose and recovering from the infectious disease, and subsequently both my wife and I tested positive for the coronavirus. With no one else around to help us except my daughter who we had kept in isolation, we continued caring for my mother, giving her nothing but thin liquids via a feeding tube.

The symptoms my wife and I experienced through our recovery lasting a week to 10 days included a low-grade fever, loss of taste and smell. It took us about a month to regain the latter. Even my mother, who is 68 and otherwise healthy, regained consciousness and her ability to communicate over a month or so and she began taking in food orally after I had no choice but to go ahead and remove her feeding tube myself. She is still paralyzed and bedridden, though.

> Anyone know why all new Ecmascript APIs are implemented to be used as "newable classes" rather than ordinary functions?

My guess, and it is only and just that, is because classes, being a newer part of the language, allow the developers and designers to work with a cleaner environment, if you will, avoiding some of the pitfalls that have lingered since ES1.

Classes are strict, by default, e.g. I can imagine other benefits, but I am too little caffeinated to articulate them right now.

Basically, if one sticks with “the old way”, one runs the risk of one’s users using poor idioms that could cause support grief, but by using the new way one avoids these.

Note also that JS classes aren’t pure OO, at least not yet, but are really a different and arguably better approach to function/object (in the JS sense) design and implementation, and that JS is slowly pulling in FP concepts as well.
Tell HN: The 22nd of February this year (22/2/2022) will be a Tuesday (Twos-day)
It's my favorite feature of this year thus far (since nothing else has happened yet).

Verification (besides glancing at the nearest calendar): https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/twosday-2022/

I wonder what small fun thing(s) we could do to note its passing. It's as obscure as 1234567890 day (in 2009) was, but still a cute coincidence that I reckon is worth noting.
He says they'd like more bandwidth, but I'm not sure how much is really there. Even if you reduce the overhead by using a non-BT protocol, you're still limited by having to compete with all the other 2.4GHz signals. In your own house that's not bad, but when you're out and about among crowds, there can be enough noise that your signal can't get through well.

The case for crypto in one chart:

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WM2NS

Nothing can grow exponentially forever. Any guesses as to when this chart goes to singularity?

It turns out humans are just not good at running their own money supply. This has been true throughout history, even with a gold standard as coins were frequently debased. In current times, this chart of federal reserve assets is illustrative of the current environment:

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/RESPPANWW

The growth in that chart since 2008 is new money that was created not by banks making temporary loans but by the central bank outright printing new money and injecting it into the economy (QE). If the FED balance sheet shrinks the stock market will crash and there will be irresistible political pressure to do more QE.
