Is she... drawing a connection between the term "ant colony" and human colonialism?
More precisely, floats are a subset of the reals, plus infinities and NaNs. The bulk do represent real numbers, just a choice finite quantity of them.
It does seem a bit alarmist, but here we are. The theme is being previewed throughout the mainstream media.

Why should individuals be compelled to stay in a dysfunctional relationship? If the political opposition is as intolerable or deplorable as some say, wouldn't it be better to part ways peacefully?
Is VScode with Alive a viable alternative to Emacs with SLIME nowadays?

> First off, DON'T quit your job without having another already lined up. "A Bird in Hand is worth two in the Bush" and all that.

I would very much recommend against that. If you are burnt out, learning a new place of work and new collegues, new goals, etc. aren't going to give you opportunity for restitution.

Quit, with the only plan to not have a plan for 3 months. Then after 3 months, you can begin thinking about making a plan.

So’s github, anything of a non-trivial size it just won’t show by default and you need to re-request every time.

It starts struggling around the kloc scale, and the browser itself soon follows as the dom is not the neatest and you start getting tab memory above half a gig, which I assume also makes the JS start killing itself or something.

Good times.
Looking at some of my HTTP requests, I noticed that

* `Sec-Fetch-Site: cross-site` can be `Sec-Fetch-Mode: no-cors`

* `Sec-Fetch-Site: same-origin` can be `Sec-Fetch-Mode: cors`

It looks like all four combinations of these two headers are possible.
This post feels too much like an unsubstantiated rant to belong on this site. It doesn’t give much textual evidence and feels highly emotionally charged.

That said, I do agree that SA has gone downhill in the last 5 years. I canceled my subscription last year because the science was becoming too pop-sci-ish.

Here’s the offending article the author was referring to:

I am exactly in the same place (burnout) and here are a few things that have started to help me

1. Daily Yoga practice. (One session in morning and another one in evening. I generally do Yin Yoga in the evenings and it seems to help release a lot of stress). You can find lot of good Yin yoga videos on Youtube.

2. Write a Journal. Try to figure out your deepest motivations. Why did you act in ways that lead to burnout. Try to write about how you can bring back balance.

3. Have a balanced work schedule.

Also, don't forget.. "A job is just a job and it does not define you. You always have a choice"
Sort of like a 'Vanitas' painting but much cheaper.
Are there any citations to the claims she is making in her article about the nature of depression and the things people should do around depressed people? Like she claims "listening" is the correct thing to do, so supposedly it helps against depression?

Tbh it sounds to me more like a power thing "see I am depressed, and you are treating me all wrong and you have to do this and that because I am depressed".
His stepson runs a poll agency, I'd take the 25% with a shovel of salt! Even if he runs, he's sure to lose for Pécresse because she's new, so people aren't already fed up with her.
I agree and I’d add that until 20-30 years ago having an attention disorder wouldn’t prevent somebody from having a normal life, so, I think, many cases went undiagnosed.

Today, almost everywhere in the West, you need a professional job to have a decent lifestyle, and these jobs require some minimal capacity to concentrate that the average man doesn’t have and never had.
This is not evidence of a more severe outcome for the vaccinated, to be fair. The vaccinated have coverage across all major variants, with Omicrons coverage being questioned here. OG Covid-19, several early variants, Delta, and Omicron are all still doing the rounds.

With no evidence of an increase in lethality or odds of contracting a variant with an increased lethality due to being vaccinated the body of evidence firmly sits well within the realm of "better to have coverage for most variants and partial coverage for those emerging" rather than "going in bareback, hold my popcorn!".
I'm extremely sorry for what you went through. Please realize that you went through a traumatic experience and could perhaps benefit from professional help. My home got invaded and I successfully fought them. But I was nervous for months until my then girlfriend advised me to visit a therapist. He helped me a great deal within just one hour.

Best of luck.

You can answer the options request at the webserver level or even Varnish which should be quick enough and the http connection reused.
No, none of those are suspected of being Patient Zero because they aren’t the earliest cases. Just the first to be detected. Nigeria has found Omicron in samples dating back to October, long before the diplomat cases were identified, and analyses that have compared changes to the genome over time against the infection rate show that it likely emerged in late September / early October.
I've read that sentence three times and still were not sure if it's meant as a joke or not.
The odd thing about opposition to lab-leak hypotheses is precisely that it defines itself by that opposition. If the wet markets were the source surely vigorous campaigning against wet markets would be of more utility that vigorously scouring the internet for alternative ideas to downvote.

Given we know that lab leaks happen continually we should all perhaps be campaigning vigorously for an end to wet markets, protection for cave habitats, better controls in labs in general and a complete moratorium with gain of function research.

We don’t know where this pandemic came from but we know enough to say that it’s likely all those things could be sources in the future. So perhaps leave the debate alone and focus on stopping the next pandemic.
My reading was being charitable, but I was corrected by the follow up.

I wanted to believe this person understood the top level comment was venting and asked anyways (implying sarcasm) because that seems like a pretty basic inference from most people's social experiences.

But instead they clarified they (and I guess you as well) truly do not realize that the top level comment is upset because prenatal tests were part of a traumatic event.

You apparently did not realize the top level comment is not conflating a false positive and a false negative, or solely blaming prenatal tests, but rather they're saying all forms of inaccuracy in a prenatal test have great potential to cause heartbreak... which is 100% true.

tl;dr: Their comment is venting about something unimaginably painful while staying on topic and closing with a relevant statement, so I REALLY don't get what the point of drilling into the more personal part of it buys you?

I also assumed you and the other reply did not un-sarcastically try to ask a stranger if they regret not aborting their child so casually. But again, I stand corrected.
It has many of the virtues of Rust, and lacking some of the sins, probably HN likes it for the same reasons as Rust. Rust also took a while to make it onto the radar but then it was popping up more frequently.

Roberts cares about preserving the integrity of his legacy, not the integrity of the country. He’s been instrumental in elevating money in politics (Citizens United) and shredding the Voting Rights Act (Shelby). He’s likely to vote against the patently unconstitutional Mississippi case that will end Roe, but that’s only because he cares about his legacy, not because he’s your friend.

They have armed organized groups who openly brag about being violence ready. Their popular voted for politicians talk openly about violence.
The marketing excuse has long bothered me, though it took me years to put my finger on just what the issue was. The Mastodon thread linked above is where I first articulated it.

I'm aware of some similar work and concepts (especially "paradox of choice" research), but nothing as yet that lands close to what I've come up with. I've got a few feelers out for any possible earlier work.

If there is an extant similar concept, I'd love to hear of it.

I can do better and even tell which district a Brahmin lady is from with a few clues from her kitchen and the terms she uses to describe the dishes. And how it tastes. Cuisine is very regional.

Sometimes traditional attire/sari style and jewelry can indicate even the sub sect of Brahmins. Hair style(for weddings) and sari drape. We can tell from the design of the wedding chain/pendent(we don’t wear rings. Wedding chains are hidden behind clothes we wear and not publicly visible. In some families they add coral or gold beads for every child born for example.

Some Brahmin women stamp their arms with a religious symbol and only women who have that singed design can enter their kitchens. For example, I myself couldn’t enter some kitchens even though I am a Brahmin because I don’t have the symbol and hence don’t observe the same ritual purity as they do in their kitchens)

Every family has a unique design/stamp on their wedding jewelery..it’s rather broad but easy to join dots with other clues and very easy to map six degrees.

Accent even if we speak the same language, which festivals they observe and use of certain terms to describe food too.

But I can only tell for women/kitchen details. I don’t know about menfolk.

My aunt could tell where someone is from just by looking at the weave of their wedding sari …but that’s a generational thing, I guess..

As someone with ASD/ADHD (professionally diagnosed), and with two children (one diagnosed the same so far), let me just say I'm somewhat taken aback by this.

I hear you say you have ADHD yourself - each case is different and such, but you're posting on HN and I'd say that puts you far above the rest of society. Sure there are challenges but it can also be a kick-arse superpower; learn to embrace it, and most of all be grateful for the things you have achieved.

If anything it has opened my mind about the beauty of a diverse society. There is more to life than a strict adherence to some notion of what it means to be successful.

I've done pretty well for myself even though I've also had some rather hard times - no diagnosis or help existed in the 70s/80s. Then again, people will face hardships in the most unexpected ways so if anything it's made me more resilient.

With the extremely low confidence factor in some of the conditions, this genetic testing is dangerous and unethical on so many levels.

CORS exists to protect the backed from developers that ask these types of questions.
Absolutely! But how about a quintillion? Signed 64-bit integers give you 8 quintillion in the positive integer space, and unsigned gives 16 quintillion.

The question is: Will the difference between 8 and 16 quintillion matter enough to say "unsigned by default"?

But currency types need to be signed anyway, so I guess that's that ;-)

This has got to be a joke of some sorts. More like the worst software. Sure Google is super rich, they have unlimited engineers who produce a lot of code. Almost all Google products I used were crap, buggy, bloatware.
The leading cause of death for young people is injuries (https://www.wthr.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/state-r...).

However, injuries are far more likely to be life threatening if health care resources are scarce, as they have become in Indiana.

This is precisely the challenge presented by a pandemic. That's precisely why the lethality of the pandemic virus is largely irrelevant. The threat from a pandemic is the overwhelming of health care resources.

So it's kind of splitting hairs to worry about whether the cause of death is COVID-19 or not. Either way, it's the pandemic. There's a literally historic shift in the death rate among the young that correlates very well with the the availability of care... and we have the people working in the hospitals saying that this is the underlying problem.

Maybe young people have had a 40% increase in deaths from injury, from suicides, from overdoses, or from tipping over vending machines. The specific COD isn't the problem.
I feel that this author falls for the exact same mistake with their intended audience that they accuse them of doing.

From the wording I thought it would be an article on identifying and empathising with the less-visible curse of depression, that of being a carer. Instead it was just advice, intended to help not the carer, but the advice giver, to feel better that they've actively tried to 'fix' the problem.
USA had more violence and strife in the 1960s, with the assassinations of a president, attorney general, and popular civil rights leaders, a bitter divisive futile war that killed tens of thousands of American youths, and a generation that was tuning out from their elders because the society was devoid of consensus and had no clear pathway to renewal.

Canada, on the other hand, has enjoyed the unbroken reign of Queen Elizabeth II the whole time.

Seems so in my reading. I assume I must be incorrect though, since that interpretation seems absurd. Yet, not sure how else to interpret it… but I guess this isn’t much different from the master/slave stuff in code, or the removal of the master branch default in git.
Perhaps if honest journalism existed, Globe and Mail would have taken an honest look at themselves and how they have cracked. I have stopped reading the globe a while back, they are newspaper version of the CBC which long ago ceased to be an authentic and unbiased source of news.

Ultimately these analysts and policy people have been proven wrong many times and have shown how clueless they are.

> By 2030, if not sooner, the country could be governed by a right-wing dictatorship.

When the article opens with blatant polarized opening line like this you have to question. It reminds me the whole Russian election conspiracy saga. Has the author visited Portland, Oregon before? Or SF for that matter? If anything America is just as vulnerable of being cracked by left wing autocracy if not more.

There’s more to an interview than algorithms (e.g. coding, communication), so it’s not a death sentence.

In the hundred or so interviews I’ve given, I’ve never had a candidate persist in forcing questions along these lines from the very start, even after I have turned the question back around at them. If you force me to give you hints out of the gate, something very weird is going on.
The secret is that it is not actually that intolerable or deplorable. This is likely what some people find infuriating; that their political enemies are not the Nazis or Soviets they have been trained to hate, just stupid Americans acting stupidly for their own stupid loss.

I worry that my fellow Americans are definitely getting complacent about all the good the federal government does. The fall of the US Fed would end the free world rather quickly.
If the opposition is entirely intolerant of you, why even try? If they do not agree on the same values commonly held before what is there left?
There are 3 sentences in OP's post, the first two are wrong or misleading. The third (conclusion) is OK only insofar as it doesn't depend on the (false) premises.

1. Wuhan is not known for spillover.

2. Cave visits did happen but this has never been connected to the 3 "sick researchers" reported by US intel.

3. Sure, lab origin, zoonosis, engineering or not, all still on the table, just factually what OP wrote was inaccurate or misleading.

Recently chrome required COOP and COEP for shared memory access, which essentially restricts any access to anything besides the same origin. This basically killed my project/motivation of 2~ years.

Using Emscripten and threads, you require COOP & COEP headers to be sent via the main document. This is not common practice for static html hosting sites, thus requiring that you have access to a config file or .htaccess, and requires ALL assets to be hosted exclusively on that same server.

Killing my project is a bit extreme, but killed my motivation.

It's a web-based game with multiplayer that I was hoping people would modify and expand on, hosting themselves, uploading to places like Github.

I've recently started modifying Emscripten's runtime library to try and treat each webworker as a separate instance that just communicates between each other. This has major overhead as each thread is a new memory instance. I've tried getting it to extract each function into it's own module for a webworker to load but that's a major task.

Web apps want to act as desktop applications but they're so held back by security it's nearly impossible. We don't even have a proper local storage system.

To quote Dilbert, "Security is more important than usability. In a perfect world, no one would be able to use anything."
6 months of cash isn't enough for it to matter to me.
When did SA change? In the 1970s-80s, its articles were quite technical, for scientifically literate readers to understand something outside their field. When I looked at SA again after a long absence, around 20 years ago, it had already been dumbed down to about what Popular Science was many years ago.

SA had another era, in my dad's day, when its aim was less academic and more for the home enthusiast and hobbyist. I wonder when it became more of a forum for academic researchers to popularize their work.

Time and trial-and-error is what eventually solved it.

I was trying to configure the auto-HTTPS functionality to use DNS challenges, because my setup forbids any of the others, and this apparently requires plugins that are only supported by community efforts, so that's probably why I had such an issue.

The docs around configuring this were not immediately clear to me. Its like one part is over in this corner, the other over there. And the part about DNS provider plugins is off in a completely different direction. I definitely think things could be better organized. Also your one tutorial for getting HTTPS support only mentions the very basic cases. I think it'd be beneficial to see some more advanced tutorials using for instance some of the other LE challenge methods, something like this definitely would've saved me some time.
Caching is one solution and it work fine, not perfect.

Another thing to consider is avoid hitting your api application with those requests.

You quite probably don't need authorization or any other business logic in that preflight. You can just catch any OPTION or OPTION+preflight headers in your proxy, webserver or balancer and handle it there.

You certainly don't want to handle them in Rails/Rack, nodejs, lambda, django, spring or such.

This makes them so much faster for users, and so much lighter for servers that the once per 2 hours cached request hardly is measurable, even.

Yeah, but who would be fighting who? How would warfare break out? A bunch of right-republicans taking over buildings and then being demolished by the largest and strongest military force in the world? A coup in the military to fight unarmed liberals? Race war?
