I want this for my kids (stuck in US suburbia), but have instead opted for them to grow up close to their grandparents. I’m not always sure that I’m making the right trade off, and it annoys me that I even have to make such a choice.

Anyway, it’s been over 20 years since I visited Tokyo, and I’ve been to many major cities since. Tokyo remains my favorite.
No, but I also sincerely believe that dang is a lizard. Not because I have any reason to believe that dang is a lizard, but because my ethos obligates me to believe anyone is a lizard when I see an opportunity to do so.
Interesting idea. Here are a few questions that immediately come to mind for me personally:

- Would forcing micro-transactions also force law abiding people to provide a real ID for all transactions?

- Would criminals be able to use existing methods of stolen and fraudulent funds and identification for these transactions? If not, how do you keep them from gaming this system?

- Would large corporations be able to afford these micro-transactions and if so to what volume? e.g. Fox News or CNN buying up a few million transactions per day on Twitter. Or put another way, would these transactions give large corporations a more dominate control over public opinion?

- Would poor people and impoverished nations be able to participate in the internet and if so, how?

- If I want to run my own forums and chat servers would I be obligated to charge these micro-transactions? i.e. Is this legislated?

Nice! Let me know about this project.
I'm not a dev, just a sysadmin from old school always wanting to learn more stuff. I was teaching robotics for kids and teachers also.
I am extremely skeptical about precise numbers in medicine. The biology just does not work in that way. And it does no matter if the number comes from HN comments or peer-reviewed journal article. It signals that with very high probability that at best those who gave the number do not understand what they are talking about. At worst in can be just an arbitrary number where the extra precision was used to give a sense of legitimacy.

And note how much better the claim from the original article sounds: the efficiency of at least 90%. Which tells that even if one follow a reasonable lifestyle that minimizes chances of getting the infection (or at least feed infants in a reasonable way as we are talking about <2 years old), then still the vaccine reduces the chance of infection by a factor of 10.

And yes, it was stupid for me to rely on the memory when claiming about particular vitamin.
Not OP, but I can tell you why your comment seemed armchair-psychologist-y to me. The issue is saying "it doesn't seem like her problem is actually X, it seems like it's Y." You read a short article written by someone who, based on the tone and explanation up top, was not in the best frame of mind.

The bigger issue with your comment from my perspective though is that you said "But it seems to me that they're still some way off from understanding their condition", which to my ears is just demeaning. Someone posts an article about leaving a community, with a lead in explaining their state of mind as of writing it, and your response comes down to "sounds like you don't understand your condition you were recently diagnosed with".

Personality disorders are hard, they don't go away and they can take years to get a handle on. When the top response to your article where you mention your disorder is someone saying you don't understand it, it becomes that much harder.
Similar, but with the important distinction that this problem was recognized months in advance and remedied with some care (or kludge, depending on your preferences), and didn't become a bug in production software.

All computers work in finite representations. All values can overflow. Good engineering is about working within that world and not trying to Quixotically design its absence.
As the poll doesn't specify a time limit, or define the minimum feature set of ETH 2.0, or even what the success criteria are, I think it is safe to guess that eventually something called ETH 2.0 will be claimed by the Ethereum developers to be available.

More seriously, I think that there is a greater than 50% chance that Ethereum fully integrates a proof of stake system this year (or next), as there are already competitors claiming to have deployed that technology.
The Supreme Court also validated slavery and other actions that proved to be incredibly damaging to the society.

As for George Washington, if you are attempting to make the argument that the government has a right to inoculate it’s military soldiers during war time against a disease, so be it, there is your precedent to argue upon. Furthermore, Washington has a habit of requiring many things, including the Militia Acts which required every able bodied male to own a military firearm. I don’t currently see an argument to enforce that idea. Pick and choose.

But using his small pox inoculation program from the 1700’s and a tiny military of rag tag farmer soldiers as a basis to go after an entire free and educated society of hundreds of millions in the 2000’s for an experimental vaccine, you are stretching this further than it could go.

The information is out there for people to make decisions now. They’ve made it, make a better argument.

"Big" software is mostly not difficult algorithms, but writing boilerplate glue code that connects the inputs and outputs of algorithms/functions that are usually written by someone else. Frama-C can definitely verify the boilerplate for "big" software, this is actually easier than verifying data structures and algorithms, which requires knowing the key property to get the prover to see that the algorithm always makes progress toward a solution. Once you have the contracts set up for calling a function, Frama-C will enforce that the contract is always met.

The CompCert verified C compiler is "big" software, but not actually written in C, rather OCaml and Coq/Gallina.
Dogecoin mining hasn’t been done on GPUs for many many years now.
The suggested site https://LearningOpenGl.com is great and I've seen similar websites for Vulkan and WebGPU.

I also recommend grabbing the suggested book, Real Time Rendering, along. I've found it to be great learning material, having a well detailed chapter dedicated for all the effects used in modern renderers. Works great as a reference though it doesn't have any code samples. Doesn't concern itself too much about API details. In my learning flow, I go through a chapter and try to implement one of the techniques mentioned for the effect; usually referencing one of these web resources.
This is an interesting idea though I feel like this is a slippery slope to more gate keeping on the internet.

I don't know if Gorillas work the same way as dogs, but maybe you could put something that smells nice on a device that extends a small nose-boop extractor arm when close, and gather the noseprint that way.

To simulate this invention:

- have a dog

- put something smelly on your thumb

- extend arm to point thumb towards dog

- as the dog is within 5-10cm radius of your thumb, press your thumb against their nose (and say the obligatory "boop")

- imagine your had something to extract noseprints from their nose on your thumb
Yeah lets ground all the star-link satellites, and many other satellites broadcasting Fox, CNN and BBC. And shut down Facebook, Google and Twitter that 24x7 cater some propaganda. Lets shut down Apple that surveils users pictures and and Android that are somehow very easy to plant a backdoor into. Lets shut down internet entirely, its only propaganda.

Why must some small wage earners in remotest parts must even have access to the internet. Let them use cave paintings.

I've been using MacVim for 15 years; it has been pretty much solid the entire time, and I'm used to its mouse integration. When I started out, I was doing a lot of cross-platform development and there was a Windows version of Vim which behaved almost the same. It was great to have a powerful text editing experience which was pretty much the same everywhere.

I tried out NeoVim, but as far as I can tell, it seems to be terminal-only/keyboard-only? I can use Vim keyboard-only (certainly I do that all the time over ssh), but it's not my preference.

My second choice for editing behind MacVim isn't NeoVim but VSCode, but I don't use VSCode with Vim bindings because in my experience grafting Vim bindings onto any editor not Vim won't be feature complete. In a perfect world, there would be an IDE which is truly a Vim-style modal editor at its core.

I'm working on a decentralized identity-based communications project. Think of this as an email (or instant messaging, social network, etc.) where your "account" is yours forever and cannot be taken away. We have email part functioning and there are some real users. At this point, I'm working on the decentralization part, where the identity registry will be put on a blockchain (likely custom Ethereum-based blockchain, to keep it free for users). Join us if you want to make the world a better place by fighting censorship and personal information collection. We are 100% open source:

Ad-hoc data formats like JSON and XML are too insecure for the modern world, so I'm developing a new format to remedy this [1].

It's a twin format, one binary and one text, so that you can input / edit the data in text, and then it passes from machine to machine in binary only (or convert back to text if a human needs to inspect it). The binary format is designed for simplicity and speed, and the text format is designed for human readability.

Both formats are designed for security and minimal attack surface, while providing the fundamental data types we use in our daily life (so you're not stuck doing stringification and base64 fields and other such hacks).

I've pretty much completed the base format [2], and am 90% done with the golang reference implementation [3] plus some standard compliance tests, but I could use a lot of help:

- Reviewing the specifications and pointing out issues or anything weird or things that seem wrong or don't make sense.

- Implementations in other languages.

- Ideas for a schema.

- Public outreach, championing online.

One of the problems with 6to4 that make it hard to deploy in well-configured networks is the DNS problem. Google runs a 6to4 DNS but warns that DNSSEC will be broken by design, and clients would need their own translation software on the software side to solve the problem.

6to4 gateways are still a thing, you can traceroute 192.88.99.1 to find the nearest gateway if you have IPv4 connectivity. I've got one seven hops from my device, but I've also got a static IPv4 address so I have little need for a gateway.
> Computationally they're not much behind ASICs per $ […]

Is this really true for Bitcoin? I’ve been out of the mining game for a long time, but ~5 years ago this certainly wasn’t true. Back then GPUs were at least an order of magnitude less efficient than ASICs.
> "You are still free to drive to work or take local public transit."

Then the whole point of this thing is pointless. We're selectively punishing people. We don't prevent or punish positive cases from going around to work, public transport, etc and infecting others, yet we punish people that choose to simply not vaccinate.

> "If you cannot participate in society moving forward, then you should not expect society to cater to your needs."

Just like to point out that you can use the same line of reasoning for a host of other things, even unrelated to medical themes. Like say allowing facial recognition cameras in all homes to prevent domestic violence and child abuse. Yet most people supposedly stand on principle against it, despite the "pragmatism" of it. Likewise we should be standing here on plain old and impractical "body autonomy" and protecting people's personal medical choices.

It just depends on how far you want to take the hyperbole and how far you want to extrapolate the doomsday predictions that flow from this. E.g. How about state-mandated abortions for down-syndrome? Or preventing pro-creation of known carriers of genetic disorders? Look at how we tip-toed around aids after we eventually acknowledged it.

As a side note, we should all be worried about how this entire world-incident is allowing laws and understandings that we've had and worked on attaining for decades if not centuries to be simply and casually bypassed under some banner of "safety", "science" and pragmatism. There has to be a better way to deal with this and as you say, move society forward instead of backward.
I guess facial recognition is a more apt description. We just use photos of wild gorillas cropped around the nose. Not intrusive at all!
Focusing on efficiency and ROI in this context is just kinda gross. As if other people are some resource to be extracted and consumed; as if life is some function to be gradient-descended to achieve some maxima. Would you rather have a glass of <your favorite drink> by the fire with <your favorite intellectual> or would you rather sit alone and read their book at home?
Slight change:

There is no science if reasonable doubts aren't allowed.

The thing with this pandemic is, that the time where you could have a reasonable doubt in the vaccines are over for a while now. We vaccinated half of earths population. If there would have been horrible side effects they would have shown. The more data we gather the clearer the picture becomes and the less reasonable certain doubts become.

The thing about doubt is that one can always doubt anything. You can doubt that a stone in your hand falls to the ground if you let it go, but no amount of doubt will change the outcome if you actually do it. Physical reality for the most part doesn't care for our feelings. If you are a brilliant physicist you could doubt is the explainations why the stone falls to the ground, but you cannot reasonably doubt the fact that it does accelerate towards the ground, because this is what is observed.

You could have the feeling the universe is holographic and all this falling does not occur, however if you cannot create an experiment that would falsify existing, simpler explainations it remains just a interesting feeling and not a reasonable doubt.

Another explanation, the one that's more probable, is that omicron is much more infectious than the previous variants.

Actual studies that look at evidence and test hypotheses seem to suggest that mRNA vaccines are effective.
Careful not to get it caught in the mail slot.
I’m one of those people. Japan and China are quite different. I really liked visiting Japan. I really did not enjoy visiting China at all. The two cultures are not as similar as you imply, and the differences matter, at least to me.
Data/research is a very narrow lenses to look through (but important nevertheless). This master/slave morality is a very famous discussion started by philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche and it's not something very scientific. Doesn't mean it's wrong.

Yes and this type of doublespeak is coming from the top down in many countries.

It’s alarming because “they don’t believe in science” has become a divisive weapon that hand waves away all scientific nuance.

The vast majority of young healthy people are completely asymptomatic, they don’t need a vaccine, nor would it be a wise investment of limited doses.

Also, previous infection confers protection that is at least as effective as vaccination. This has been consistently observed since the beginning of the pandemic.

Vaccines can save the lives of many vulnerable people though; it’s an amazing tool and its use is certainly justified by science.

But using economic and financial engineering to force everyone to get vaccinated? There is no scientific evidence supporting that decision, and the second and third order consequences are completely unstudied. (evolution of viral resistance is one example; many experts are aware of the phenomenon but commenters here have been misled to believe that an airborne virus circulating the planet can be eradicated ‘if only everyone got vaccinated’)
In fact the opposite is true. If everyone gets coronavirus in a two week period, ICU is less overwhelmed for the rest of the year. A lot of susceptible people die, of course.

If you attempt to spread it out and succeed, you're at 100% capacity basically all of the time, plus 99% of people get to deal with the fact that coronavirus restrictions are utterly miserable.

Omicron has probably made all of this irrelevant anyway, it's so contagious that effectively everyone who goes outside is getting it this month. 1 in 15 in London right now and that's only the confirmed cases I believe.
Do you live in the PNW? Because that sounds a lot like the PNW.

The northern east coast is what I believe the GP was referring to. We don't really have homeless people. I've honestly never seen a homeless person before, until I left. Neither has anyone tried to "get something" out of me, until I went down south or out west.

I think it's cultural. The people who had moved out West were those that weren't necessarily successful or prosperous in their homelands (e.g. Britain, Russia, or the original 13 colonies, comprising mostly of the propertied class). So what you get is a bunch of grifters, drifters, and people who didn't "fit."

And well, if that's what your communities are comprised of, I expect them to be antisocial.

The saddest thing is I have family there, who have children; and seeing those children slowly take on the typical West Coastian attitude (and believe that property, violent, and sexual crimes are simply the way the world is), has been heartbreaking. I'm sure they will perpetuate the cycle of shit, in their own unique way -- even if it is minor.

How often does QA adjust time on their machines? Could be an easy test case/setup step for an automated suite
That is such a good point. Applies to spouses and toddlers too for the work from home crowd.
There is a mistake in the article's statement of the problem. It says

> the possible moves are going right, down or up by one

but the actual problem (https://adventofcode.com/2021/day/15) allows moving in all four directions.

The difference is significant — the naïve attempt described in the article does not work on the actual problem.

The problem as stated in the article is actually quite interesting. The case where the only possible moves are down and right has a standard dynamic programming solution. A variation moving up is also allowed. The time complexity is O(n^2) where n is the grid size, which is faster than using Dijkstra's algorithm.

And regarding the title, I am glad you changed it, but I'd prefer something more similar to the article's new title, such as "Speeding up an Advent of Code solution with Dijkstra's". (At the time of writing, the HN title is "Finding an optimal shortest path algorithm", which doesn't provide much information, and the article's title is "Speeding up my AoC solution by a factor of 2700 with Dijkstra's".)
You can't do a comparison like that because there are absolutely no 2 countries like each other and how they count cases is also different so that data does not exist.

You can however look at what's happening in a single country despite the vaccination: Portugal, with close to 90% vaccination rate, is getting the highest rates of infection ever as we speak. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/portugal/

For a vaccine that's supposed to slow or stop the spread, sorry but that kind of trend is not very convincing.
You have a point for the purpose of calculating the scale of the impact. But it is also true that a significant part of crypto does not drive demand for hardware or electric power.

There are proof of stake coins with multibillion dollar valuations that bring a novel combination of smart contracts and other "platform" capabilities and low cost. This is important because these technologies ensure that crypto can survive if the cost and latency of proof of work becomes a drag on both usefulness and valuation. Kind of like renewables have shown that coal can be phased out. In Germany, renewables are now 40% of electricity production, projected to become 60% by 2030. Trends matter.
