Omicron Has Potential to Stop the Pandemic, but That's Not the End of the Story
Scaffoldable: A new way to hire data engineers
An interesting feature of some Asian languages (e.g. Japanese, Thai, Indonesian) is that in general they use 1 word (I'll write it as "s/he") to refer to third persons. I wonder how that's influenced kids growing up with the language.

Meanwhile in German they're trying to define RegExp, which is also pronouncable, for gender-inclusive words[1], since they differentiate between e.g. Pilot (male) and Pilotin (female) as well as Piloten (many pilots, in the old days this used to mean of mixed genders, but some people felt excluded) and Pilotinnen (many female pilots).

Spacer components and spacer elements are not the same idea, though, far from it.
Sure, but you can always maintain (and/or pay others to maintain) the things you care about on IPFS, and if the implementation points there directly (afaik not all do...) the pointer remains useful. Whereas if it points to a random HTTP url, you cant maintain that without the domain holder cooperating.
You are unaware of the propaganda campaigns that precede military engagements (most recently Iraq & Syria)? I find it hard to believe.

Exactly, what I am going to use it for. I tried using whatsapp for long in a VM of android x86 image didn't work too well for me.
It was a joke. Dates are not simple ..
ARM has been pretty weak for more than a decade, and only started getting decent CPU performance and RAM sizes with a reasonable pricing very recently. Even x86 computing took a while to develop into something useful.
> Can automakers not use a 7nm fab?

You cannot take a, say, 150nm or 45nm design and just rescale it in Photoshop to make a 7nm design.

Not only does electrical characteristics change which might require changes, such as leakage currents, but in order to reach the densities of "7nm" things such as transistor construction has changed. For example older, larger nodes used planar transistors while a modern node likely uses non-planar transistors like FinFET[1]. A nice write-up can be found here[2].

The point is, moving from one node to another, especially if they're far between, might require a huge redesign, along with all the validation and testing that entails. A new set of masks for the latest nodes is also very expensive[3].

It's your contention that the monks had unlimited access to parchment, but just chose to overwrite older work?

> If the monks were isolated then why should they copy books, especially when they had to delete older material to do so?

A religious order dedicated to copying books as a spiritual discipline isn't going to just sit around when parchment is hard to come by.

Some quite credible NIH immunologist I know has openly stated that Marek's scenario is very much a valid risk to consider since the very beginning of the pandemic, among many others ofc, including ADE, etc.

Amusingly enough, he also worked on actual mRNA therapeutics for quite some time, in addition to viral delivery vectors in cancer therapeutics. Has a PhD, his h-index is ~15, I think. Triple vaxxed, if you must know his medical status. You should be able to google him rather easily, only 20-40 people in the country that do this.

Looking forward to hear about your credentials.

Remember: science has always been about questioning the dogma. Not the other way around. Criticism and open dissent must be the norm, not something to be scorned and ostracized.

can't believe I'm actually writing this on a technology forum.
It really is its own little DSL, and often subtly different yet similar enough across various languages. Compare also with printf and regular expressions.
On the other hand, it's kind of hard to talk about investing and really truly believe something is worth it financially and NOT put money on it.

Agreed, I was mainly responding to what seemed to be a more open “why could it be a problem that a military organisation is involved?” question.

And as other recent issues highlight, open to many eyeballs does not necessarily imply completely robust and secure code.
> If your using it very poorly, you'd see a massive 2~x benefit.

I find this statement tough to agree with. It depends on the kind of work your processors are doing: it is IO heavy work or are you running Math computations? There are other axes basically related to how much work can be done by the current thread while the other thread stalls waiting for data to be fetched (or other non-parallelizable dependencies to be available).

So if you're getting a high benefit you shouldn't necessarily feel embarrassed!
Is it just me for thinking that using format strings instead of some strongly typed interface with verbose names for this is not great?

I would take `format(year(), '/', month(), '/', day())` over ad-hoc format strings by various APIs.

Reading the docs further this also stands out:

> For parsing with the abbreviated year pattern ("y" or "yy"), SimpleDateFormat must interpret the abbreviated year relative to some century. It does this by adjusting dates to be within 80 years before and 20 years after the time the SimpleDateFormat instance is created. For example, using a pattern of "MM/dd/yy" and a SimpleDateFormat instance created on Jan 1, 1997, the string "01/11/12" would be interpreted as Jan 11, 2012 while the string "05/04/64" would be interpreted as May 4, 1964. During parsing, only strings consisting of exactly two digits, as defined by Character.isDigit(char), will be parsed into the default century. Any other numeric string, such as a one digit string, a three or more digit string, or a two digit string that isn't all digits (for example, "-1"), is interpreted literally. So "01/02/3" or "01/02/003" are parsed, using the same pattern, as Jan 2, 3 AD. Likewise, "01/02/-3" is parsed as Jan 2, 4 BC.

I hope nobody uses this to parse historical data that happens to become older than 80 years recently.
Thanks!

I've also used Couchsurfing for many years and had great experiences! Sadly it got paywalled during the pandemic to stay alive and the usage has plummeted. I also always thought it could be have been done better.

The harassment messages will be a challenge. I've just added a step now that first messages will be reviewed and approved by a moderator, but would have to come up with something more scalable long term.
Presumably with a code path similar to this:

get date as (week year, month, day)
add start_interval to date using regular time handling functions
print "task scheduled to start on: ", date

When you run this code on 31 December 2021 and schedule the task to run 1 day later, you will see 2023 in the logs
Emulation is possible, and now even easy. Windows has a built-in Windows on ARM (WoA) feature, and Linux can do something similar with QEMU application-based emulation (including stubbing out calls to dynamically linked libraries with calls to native ones).

This is in addition to the fact that a lot of server-based code runs as an interpreted/JIT language, or a bytecode VM like Java or .NET.

I get that using 2, 3, 5, 7 is sufficient to prove at most 23 primes in an interval of length 101, by straightforward but inelegant code:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
count = 101
span = 101

lp = [2, 3, 5, 7]

for p1 in lp:
count -= span//p1
for p2 in lp:
if p2 <= p1: continue
count += span//(p1*p2)
for p3 in lp:
if p3 <= p2: continue
count -= span//(p1*p2*p3)
for p4 in lp:
if p4 <= p3: continue
count -= span//(p1*p2*p3*p4)
print("At most {} primes in a span of {}".format(count,span))

A version of that which includes printouts of the number removed or added at each stage gives this output:

Remove 14 divisible by 7
Remove 20 divisible by 5
Remove 33 divisible by 3
Remove 50 divisible by 2

Unremove 10 divisible by 2 * 5
Unremove 16 divisible by 2 * 3
Unremove 2 divisible by 5 * 7
Unremove 4 divisible by 3 * 7
Unremove 6 divisible by 3 * 5
Unremove 7 divisible by 2 * 7

Remove 0 divisible by 3 * 5 * 7
Remove 1 divisible by 2 * 5 * 7
Remove 2 divisible by 2 * 3 * 7
Remove 3 divisible by 2 * 3 * 5

Unremove 0 divisible by 2 * 3 * 5 * 7

At most 23 primes in a span of 101
> Google translate must have failed me here

And there's your mistake: don't use Google translate for single words.

Use a dictionary for that - it'll tell you that both variants exist and even denotes that "sutil" is the Brazilian one :)

Single words don't carry enough context for statistics-based approaches like Google translate and even then, Google translate is not even very good compared to alternatives like deepl.com.
Good top-level summary of an extremely complicated subject.

The containers diagram is surprising since the arrow means "derived from" - the earlier formats are at the top, I initially thought the arrow was in the wrong direction. Containers are kind of a nightmare since there is a lot of hidden knowledge you need. Many of the tools will let you put any video in any container, but only certain combinations actually work properly across the various devices and operating systems you will actually need to use. It's easiest to stick to "H264 + AAC in an MPEG4 container".

HLS is a horrible hack that also has the side effect of making it harder to download and store videos.

Memorabilia is different from using the brand name. Like I don't imagine we will be seeing a Theranos brand being slapped on medicines anytime soon (or at least that is what I thought the parent comment was asking about).

That being said, I would hope the Theranos brand is sold and it assets liquidated to repay every person who had a fraudulent test result.

There`s a difference. I worked in a few startups. We make promisses that we can expect to accomplish in the future, we where clear that whatever we where working was still a prototipe or a promissing idea, but it was not ready.

WeWork Co-Founder Adam Neumann Is Becoming an Apartment Mogul
Personally, I find it desirable that people who commit massive fraud in the health care sector get punished severely (based on whatever charges they are actually convicted of), because chances are someone will actually be physically harmed even if that is hard to prove to a standard necessary for conviction (even if no actual harmful treatment resulted, which seems likely in this case, the misallocation of resources to the fraud means someone will likely be deprived of a treatment they would otherwise have received). So IMO 5 years would be insane -- Madoff got done for 10 years, and his fraud was much more benign (I suspect a very significant percentage of his victims knew the returns were to good to be true and that someone was being defrauded; they just didn't realize it was them).
I think this might be over-complicating it a bit for a personal blog. There are comment systems like Commento, Disqus, Hyvor, etc that let you just embed a JS snippet into your layout for comments (if one even wants to support blog comments at all).

Regarding GitLab getting hacked, while it is of course a concern I'm not sure it's any more of a concern compared to using any other hosted blog service. You'd have to consider how secure any hosting solution is, whether it's Wordpress, GitLab/AWS, Medium, or anything else. As a benefit, GitLab (unlike many other blog hosting services) supports U2F MFA.

Hello everybody! I've scaled a data engineering team at my current company from just myself to 10 people over this past year. As part of that effort, I designed our internal technical interviewing loop for data engineers, and candidates who've tried it out have said it's both challenging and refreshing. I looked at interviewing solutions on the market when I looked at technical screens and didn't find anything targeting late hiring funnel that I liked, so I'm thinking there might be opportunity here for a side hustle. If you have preferences on your ideal hiring setup for data engineers, sign up and let me know!

Ask HN: Let's build an HN uBlacklist to improve our Google search results?
For the unaware, uBlacklist [0] is a browser extension that lets you blacklist sites from the google search results page. It lets you blacklist sites right from the results page, by regex, or by linking lists hosted somewhere.

The low quality of results has been a problem from a while now and has become worse lately thanks to all those StackOverflow and Github clones. So I was wondering if we could come together and contribute to a single blacklist hosted somewhere and then import it into each of our browsers. Who knows? We might end up improving the quality of the results we all get.

Lists to get rid of the StackOverflow and Github clones already exist. [1]

I would love to contribute to a project like this, but won't be able to be a maintainer due to time constraints. Would greatly appreciate it if someone could host this. A simple txt file on github would do.

The 1.7GHz boost speed is a significant limitation.

Ignoring architecture differences for a moment, that’s about 1/2 the clock speed of something like an M1 or even a modern cell phone chip. It’s almost 1/3 of the boost clock of a modern Intel or AMD desktop chip.

Given the choice and assuming equal cache sizes, I’d take a 3.4GHz version with 16 cores over a 1.7GHz version with 32 cores.

The only time a higher core count with proportionally lower clock speed really helps is when you’re going for raw power efficiency.
I’ve made a living online from a bunch of different things, and there’s always something in the world that changes in a way that forces you to change your thing as well. Sometimes quickly, when an API changes, sometimes more slowly as you get more competition for example.

And even if not, you’ll still always think about your project to figure out how to get the next 5% of extra revenue from it, and stress about whether you’re doing things as well as you could.

I don’t recall ever having something where I could just kick back and relax.
