I think you make a lot of good points, and when I say the “middle” I should be more clear that I don’t mean like the arithmetic mean or something. I meant to say: “at neither of these rather extreme places”.

In a weirdly meta way I think vaccination itself is a useful metaphor: personally the pro-vaccination/anti-vaxx dichotomy is itself extreme to me. Vaccination is some combination of pharmaceutical and medical procedure. It’s almost certainly the right thing at some times for some people, and almost certainly the wrong thing for other people at other times. It’s not a 1-bit problem (there are few 1-bit problems). But it seems to be something that we can’t collectively approach with as much nuance as e.g. prescription medications, which especially recently is not a decision-making process known for its demonstrable subtlety.

I personally get skittish around all-or-nothing anything.
Most ring cameras with audio recording pick up internal conversations.
Not really. In these areas there's a general principle that the moment you start using a signal to enforce on bad actors that signal's value decays. It's sad, I actually think web3 could help curb abuse at scale by making it too expensive to scale horizontally. Imagine paying a "stamp" to send an email on the blockchain, spam email would dramatically drop. Maybe similar mechanics could be in play for other things but then you lose democratization of information.

I believe "shortcut books" like the one posted by OP appeal to some of us because it's a succinct source of, basically... lookup queries. That is, when we run across a question we can't answer, we'd prefer to Google that topic on our own and learn in our own nonlinear style. Don't give me a pile of textbooks corresponding to 6-10 semesters of classes, give me a single book like this and let me research by myself everything it refers to.
I'm in university right now, and know a lot of university students. Online learning is not popular, and many students are clamoring to get back to in person classes as soon as they can (many Canadian universities are still primarily remote).
Makes sense @ beacon, I'd also imagine visual identification might be difficult in some cases (e.g. if the car is damaged or submerged etc)
Yeah, I never have to manually restart my Django development server though. When I hit save in my editor, the runserver process restarts itself. At this point, I don't even know off the top of my head which part of the stack is doing the watching and restarting. It's just not something I've had to think about in like a decade.

I have tried many WSGI servers for serving Python web applications (using both Django and Flask). Gunicorn may not be the fastest or have the most features, but its super solid and the documentation is superb. Everything else that i tried hat some sort of quirks und hickups that made it unsuitable for production environments.

Most people answering a 2014 poll (hopefully uniformly sampled) could not locate Ukraine on a map of the world, with many placing it in Africa, East Asia, Greenland or even the US; but the more interesting part was that the farther from its actual location was people's guess, the more they were supportive of US military intervention in Ukraine.
Thanks for writing this. It did not occur to me at all and it really made me rethink the situation.
Another bad Netflix one is “ Under Suspicion: Uncovering the Wesphael Case”. It’s packed full of armchair psychologists and very little factual analysis (and way too long).

In the past one could look at just about every Michael Moore documentary ever.

The Data Are Pointing to One Major Driver of America’s Murder Spike
This is something many people in the EU simply don't get -- I don't get it.

Germans have a basically a positive stereotype of being a scientific nation and all around clever lads -- this has enormous soft power and gives leverage to things like "Made in Germany" as a brand. This anti-nuclear stance in Germany is absolutely caustic to that projected image.

It's absolutely insane they want to shut down Nuclear and replace it with fossil fueled plants. I love Germans and Germany but they're simply in the wrong on this and I don't know what the right way forward is.
I can understand the logic that both natural gas and nuclear aren't green. I think its flawed but I understand it.

However, if the new German government decides that nuclear is not green, but natural gas is green, then we have to seriously consider that vested natural gas interests are buried deep in German politics and have been for decades. The idea is completely perverse.
I couldn't help but go from cynical to "giddy child playing with mathematics" as I read this paper.
Making mozzarella was a real 'been there, done that' kinda thing. It's satisfying work, but it consumes so much milk it's not really economically viable and the milk I'm using isn't as good for cheesemaking as the better producers. I'd do more of it, but my office in Liverpool Street (London) is right next to an Eataly that make fresh (made in front of you) buffalo mozzarella at a fair price.

(A lot of the talk in pizza making circles is about using very fresh mozzarella, based mainly on 'tradition'. Nathan Mhyrvold just published a book on pizza that seems to show a counter-argument. I'm not paying £300 for a cookbook without really knowing it's worth it though, so I'll wait for the British Library to get it.)

I think other fresh cheeses could be worthwhile. A similar process to mozzarella makes queso oaxahaca, which isn't easily found here. The big difference is oaxaca is stretched into an extremely long thread, then knotted, then dried.

I wouldn't want to make hard cheeses at home, the food poisoning risk is way too high for me.

True, but it can make negotiations later on a lot harder and it increases the chance of having a problematic investor on board. The more professional investors are the easier it is to make deals. A start-up doesn't have to be killed for it to be a problem. Speaking from experience: I had a 5% problematic shareholder in camarades.com/ww.com in 1998 and it significantly reduced our chances of success.
I am not pro-Chinese, I am French with no ties to China. But I have downvoted/flagged anti-China posts and comments a few times.

There is an anti-China sentiment in the US that just feels wrong, and it shows on HN. Every time something good is said about the Chinese state, or even if it is "not that bad", it is Chinese propaganda. Every time someone says that China is evil, it is the truth, as if US propaganda couldn't exist. I am not saying that China is good, just that it is one-sided enough to raise a few red flags (pun not intended).

So, I downvote, most of it isn't interesting from a tech perspective anyways. It what I think of that submission. In fact, I am only here because I was curious about what "deep blue" meant (for me it meant IBM).

You are free to disagree with me, here I am just telling you that there is at least one person who has nothing to do with the Chinese state and dislike anti-China content.
Looking at some of your other comments, which have nothing to do with China, it’s absolutely no wonder you’re getting flagged.

If you present contrarian opinions but on top of that you wrap them in a shit sandwich, I too will flag.
Perhaps you could add a “fit ease” row to your scoring? Masks with head straps could have a check and others could have a ? or something.
As a german, can't agree more. From what I get talking to people is, that they have an irrational fear of a nuclear holocaust and nuclear waste.
Thanks for this comprehensive test!

Here's a (translated) test from half a year ago of the German "Stiftung Warentest" (similar to the US "Consumer Reports")

https://www-test-de.translate.goog/Masken-Welcher-Mund-Nasen...

Surprisingly there's only one mask in both tests as far as I can see:
- Kingfa, deemed not suitable by Stiftung Warentest, passed in this test

Not totally sure it's the same mask though.
It wasn’t a good movie and it wasn’t supposed to be. I personally disliked it enough to turn it off early but I imagine there’s enough contrarians around that when told by Wachowski through the 4th wall that its a forced piece of art and is going to be garbage - they’ll like it specifically for that reason.

Maybe they’ll even give it a positive review and good word of mouth to completely negate the director’s intention to undermine Warner Bros.
I live in a world in which you get banned from Github, NPM, and possibly other communities for violating that "imaginary" social contract.
I think it's good that you can have empathy for the animal but you could also sympathize with the people (inc children) that may someday have such a heart as their only option.

Everybody wants to move beyond animals, a lot of research is being done on Organs on a Chip etc, but until then, we have animals. See them like the nuclear powerplants that we use instead of coal, until we can finally move to fully renewable energy.

Sometime I ask myself, how many mice or pigs would I kill to save my child? And my answer is: As many as it takes.
i've been doing it in the netherlands, i found that the online craft beer suppliers also often supply cheese making ingredients. eg brauwmarkt
In my opinion Europe's decommissioning of nuclear plants, particularly in Germany, is the greatest geopolitical blunder in recent history.

The EU is now completely dependent on Russian goodwill to power their infrastructure for the next few decades, and have given up all leverage they had to push back on Russian power plays.

At the very least they should've kept the plants operational and operating at minimum capacity for redundancy to mitigate this factor. We have no idea what the political landscape will look like thirty years from now, and Russia hasn't exactly been a stable or kind neighbour in modern history.

https://www.euronews.com/2021/11/01/europe-must-reduce-its-d...
Indeed. What a shitty article.
Nope. The numbers are such that Germany cannot go back on this. We are committed to the non nuclear path now. And that’s okay. We’re going to make up the lost technology leadership in nuclear with competency in renewables. It’s fine and not the end of world.

I wouldn’t have done it the way Merkel did, I would’ve switched off coal first. But I understand why that wasn’t an option at the time. It’s what it is.
I had a coworker which was the most useless developer ever, not able to do absolutely anything by himself and totally unsure about everything. But given it was a big company it was easy for him to "hide" and rely on just showing up for meetings, talking to everyone, etc.

Then he was the first one to ask for raises, despite he was earning way, way, way more than he should already.

Then one day he came complaining that the mechanic wanted to charge him X for fixing his car and that it was too much and how could that be possible, etc, etc.....I just couldn't believe it.
I had a very similar experience.
could you tell me, how long Uranium reserves last? Climate change aside (which will kill us all), Uranium-based fission power plants are just not solving the problem at hand: We are using far too much energy and increasingly have depleted the cache earth history hid for us.
It's very likely that the image can be reconstructed from perceptual hashes. Perceptual hashes make two promises, too:

* that the original image can't be inferred from the hash, and
* that similar images should get similar (if not the same) hashes

and these are in serious conflict, with what's happened with gradient-based methods the last 10 years.
That definition is deficient. Fascism also includes state involvement in private industry.

I dislike the usage of "fascism" to mean "authoritarianism I disapprove of" (I used to use the word that way). It's an unhelpful word, because people use it in so many ways. Now, I only use it to refer to the Italian state under Mussolini. For other uses, I try to say what I mean.
I blame the Simpsons. Nonstop slander against nuclear science in every single episode, for almost thirty years. Literally every single episode, it's in the opening sequence. How can you watch the Simpsons, if you think they're funny, and you trust them, and not think nuclear science is shit?

Who's trusting the Simpsons? The whole joke is they're dysfunctional.
I called it a phenomenon to distinguish it from hard logic. I can find pseudoscience to support the idea but, sitting in the park, can't find anything I would rely on. So I guess for now it's just my observation.
Maybe the German nuclear power industry isn't doing so great at the moment either. So if you don't have a horse in the race or jobs on the line...

> I had someone try to send a Twitter reset code with the goal of getting me to show the code on the video.

Wow -- that seems like it would be a very low risk/effort for pretty decent chance of success attack. Experienced streamers will likely have all notifications for stuff not directly related to their stream turned off anyway, not just because more security awareness but also because it's a distraction; but does anyone know if less experienced people get regularly caught out by this?
It sounds like a contract between the sender and the receiver of the images, much like an NDA.

Edit: the problem there is, if something under NDA finds its way into public view, and there are several different parties that could have leaked it (i.e. the leaker 8s not identified), what actions can then be taken? It's pretty much unenforceable at that point to anyone who didn't sign the agreement. Hence the need for this new system, I guess.
I suppose it would be posssible with a lisp.
I wish Gunicorn with Gevent had won the “async vs. coroutine Python” battle. The Developer UX is so much better with coroutines and just as scalable as asyncio (async/await).

Many people misunderstand asyncio thinking it will make your code faster, when what it does do is make it more scalable (if you have allot of IO for example). But at the expense of developer UX. Mixing async and sync code within Python is a nightmare. I am completely unconvinced by the move to asyncio everywhere in Python.

I have been using Gunicorn with Gevent for nearly 10 years and never had a problem with it.

Languages like JavaScript that have been async from the start work well as you (mostly) only have an async api.

> It's absolutely insane they want to shut down Nuclear and replace it with fossil fueled plants.

That's not what's happening...

Nuclear has been mostly replaced with renewables, while fossil fuel generation has been in slow decline as well. You may disagree with that policy, but please get your facts right.
I remember the blockades of transports of nuclear waste. One of the arguments was that it was dangerous to transport said material. But I never understood how complicating the transport helped anything.
The World Is Heating Up: Here’s One Way to Keep Buildings Cooler
Could you tell me, where we get our oil from? And how we heat our homes with nuclear? We never had any leverage except for the mighty dollar (and nukes and the fact that socialism doesn't need to kill before) and the US is working steady on removing that lever.
Anyone interested in this should really read Hoffstadter's Gödel, Escher, Bach.
In my mind, a nuclear power plant staffed with German engineers is the least likely to have a nuclear accident.

I suspect Long Covid will help raise awareness of long flu, and if we address both of them successfully, it could help improve the quality of life for many, and increase life expectancy for society as a whole.
We live at the dawn of cyberterrorism, I'm glad we are stepping out of nuclear now.
The effect is multiplicative. If my mask filters 95% of the air on the way out, and yours filters 95% on the way in, that's 99.75% filtration. Add a HEPA into the room, and you're pretty safe.

I'm used to seeing a lot of misinformation related to Germany and nuclear power, so here are some facts in advance:

1) coal use went way down since they decided to switch off the nuclear plants. people assume it was replaced by coal, but this is false

2) emissions are down

3) phase out of coal was started last year and is on schedule to last until 2038

4) renewable use is way way up

5) they are one of the largest exporters of electricity in Europe

There is no doubt that the next decade represents uncharted territory, but thus far they really moved the needle. Can it be done this way is a reasonable question, as are doubts. But an automatic dismissal is irrational in light of the evidence. Especially compared to e.g. the US which hasn't budged from 60% fossil fuels for electricity in the last decade.
> Code review → Valuable

The activity in itself is not valuable, and code does not become better just because somebody looks at it. Identifying and subsequently fixing flaws -- that's what makes a code review worthwhile.

Your concept more closely fits the idea of "certifying" code and in that case, as the review sponsor, you will interested in being able to hold someone accountable. And why would you want that liability to be transferable?
Yes, I understand that. But that is clearly an ideological position unsupported by any data. And in fact, if you think about it, this is necessarily the case because this position is necessarily based on assumptions about what constitutes a good outcome, and that is necessarily a matter of opinion, not objective fact.

And BTW, with regards to that video link, it's pretty easy to cherry-pick an encounter between Friedman and a woefully underprepared student that makes the student look like an idiot. But in fact the student is correct. Government is much better at providing infrastructure than the private sector, with the internet being exhibit A.
“Why areGermans so jittery about an extremely expensive source of power, that continuously gets more expensive with time, that has long term effects the likes of which another strong engineering country is still dealing with 10 years after their disaster, that even if it does solve their immediate power solutions will never be a global solution because Germany along with the handful of existing nuclear nations will, by treaty, severely punish any other country that tried to become nuclear”.

So, to rephrase, why are Germans jittery about a terribly expensive solution that they and a few handful of other countries won’t even allow to be a solution for the vast majority of the world where most people actually live and which can at the drop of a hat blow up the entire planet.

I’m entirely convinced that if the US didn’t subsidize so many people’s nuclear engineering education we wouldn’t even be having this discussion because it’s almost entirely self serving nuclear engineers who keep demanding that we invest in the most expensive source of renewable energy instead of the myriad of cheaper options.

There was no significant public will or movement to get out of coal 10 years ago. It was never even discussed.
