What use is that all that performance when you can be randomly locked out without any recourse? In terms of gaming, "dead DPS does 0 dps".
Huh? You're leaving out some massive yet important parts of your argument here. It is a complete non-sequitur to go from you, personally, being perfectly safe and therefore mandatory vaccination is necessary to protect everyone.

Fact is that mandatory vaccination doesn't seem to do much to change the risk to society at large. Coronavirus is tearing through fully-vaccinated Australia at a rate which suggests vaccines do literally nothing to stop the spread. Since the vaccines don't protect bystanders, all the surveillance and mandating of medical treatments should be scrapped immediately.

We are in territory where if someone isn't vaccinated, they are bearing all the risk personally and that is acceptable.

>The energy transition is about to thrust us into a world where for long periods of time, we have massive energy abundance of zero-marginal cost energy generation.

Well, by now, it seems like completely the opposite: thanks to nuclear plants shutting down and CO taxes, we are starved of energy.
The virus is dangerous, albeit not in the way that most people think.

Our institutions, like health care and education, have been running so close to the edge for so long that the added pressure is pushing them over the edge. Before the pandemic, teachers would show up to work sick since they knew there may not be a substitute to take their place (and certainly not a substitute who would ensure continuity in teaching). Before the pandemic, nurses would work marathon shifts since there was a staffing shortage even before taking sick days into consideration.

Now we are in a situation where we have to slow the spread of the virus to protect our institutions. I cannot speak to whether the measures are genuinely effective or a manifestation of security theatre, since that is not my domain. What I can say is it is putting more pressure on the limited amount of staff available. This is more than missing work because of a close contact. It is because of people missing work because they are genuinely sick or people being unable to keep up with the added responsibilities (such as teaching when they are supposed to be prepping).

Unfortunately, we cannot solve the resource shortage overnight. Even if we could magically train the people to fill the role overnight, we don't have the infrastructure to support them. So now we are paying the price.
I'm glad you noticed the down sides, most people don't get to see that different perspective. Alcohol does a serious number on us without us realizing it. Alcohol really doesn't help us relax (besides in the few hours after consumption) and induces more stress over the long term

Neural search library in Python for medium-sized corpora
https://github.com/raphaelsty/cherche

Cherche (search in French) allows you to create a neural search pipeline using retrievers and pre-trained language models as rankers. Cherche is meant to be used with small to medium sized corpora. Cherche's main strength is its ability to build diverse and end-to-end pipelines.
There are parts of the world that speak Dutch, that are very far away from the Netherlands. Not many, the Dutch were a bit too cruel and after independence former colonies were eager to do away with the Dutch language. Nevertheless you can find aspects of Dutch culture dotted around the planet. Be it Dutch language in Suriname, Afrikaans in South Africa, Dutch architecture in Indonesia or people who converted to Christianity because of the Dutch.

If you are Dutch, French, British, Spanish, Portuguese, Belgian, German or yes American, I don't think you can complain too much that your culture is being lost given that these countries have spread their culture all around the planet more than most. If you are Swiss or Polish then you may have more of a point.
I agree, his tone is flippant and outdated. Nowadays the purpose is to give jobs to red states that don’t fund education and drone strike foreign woman and children. Also they tacitly assist when a sitting president starts to try and dismantle our democracy. He really gave our military the short shrift.

More options is good for sure, but doesn't solve centralization or trust concerns

The level of centralization is a spectrum and I don't mean to fall into the trap of describing it as all or nothing. The question is how close to decentralization web3 is or can be, and my concern with regards to picking your own API endpoint is just how similarly it is to the original point Moxie was making with regards to there only really being two API hosts in use
> I'm constantly low-level baffled that the default for the computer-savvy isn't Linux, given my smooth experience with it over the last 15 years and the primacy of having control over your system.

While I agree with you, a Linux machine cant be used to develop iOS apps. I tried for some time using an external build service for my Cordova apps and it wasn't very smooth. In the end, I gave up and bought an old macbook. The problem is, Apple tends to drop support for older hardware withe very iteration, and now (thanks to dosdude!) I reached the maximum supported age for recent Xcode versions. Something inside me is revolting against buying a new macbook just to keep my app in the apps store (yes they need to be updated even if they are feature complete to fit in the new requirements).

That's not an issue if you code properly. Most statically typed languages only have run-time type information as a sort of "ok fine if you're desperate you can use it, but please don't" feature.

Exceptions are a special exception in Typescript because they can come from pretty much anywhere so it can't realistically know the type at compile time.

For everything else you are probably want discrimination unions.
How mandatory is mandatory though? Is it just gating everything with a vaccine passport, or strapping down people who don't want the vaccination and injecting them?

The real issue is once you decide to force people to do this, what else would you do? The slippery slope is a common argument that you'll need to defend against.
"Bad for performance as primary keys" -> "Bad for performance as primary keys in MySQL". This isn't an issue in PostgreSQL and perhaps the lesson here is that as you scale, you need to understand more about the internals of the DB system you've chosen. This isn't limited to RDBMS as it's pretty easy to show trade-offs in choosing a NoSQL as well.
I wonder if decades of malinvestment in those institutions and routing our most educated people to editing spreadsheets with dollar signs on them or selling ads (Now With Code!) has had negative consequences for our society.

> I don’t understand why remote learning during this surge isn’t acceptable.

As I understand it, students can minimise their online class and play computer games or browse the web instead.

And young children aren't exactly known for their self-control, even if some of us had good self-control at that age.

A teacher who finds 5% of students don't respond when called upon might be able to focus on them; but if 95% of students don't respond, their powers are very limited.

IMHO, reopening schools is more important for the nation than reopening restaurants, office buildings, universities, hairdressers or gyms.
You can use it fine without an Apple ID and you also get security updates for the installed OS (they do not require to be signed in)

The AppleID you use is used for the AppStore and iCloud (you can use different ones and to some extend multiple ones). Usually you create an additional AppleID for just buying/downloading sofware from the AppStore, just like you would do on Android or the Microsoft store. Same deal here. And use a different iCloud account, if you want to use any of it's offerings.

If an account is locked or disasbled you usually just reset the password as one of both is usually done on suspicious login attempts.

Never heard of what the OP descibes, unless it is a pre-owned device still associated with a different account or some enterprise management profile in installed. Both should not be the case if he just bought it from Apple directly.

In any case sounds more like an issue with the device itself than the AppleID. But I can just speculate here, which is ofc not helpful for the OP.

Typically people don't build features around individual NFTs but NFT collections. If 20k Lara Croft NFTs were minted in a special Tomb Raider NFT collection, then the access to the new skin would be available to any of the owners of the 20k Lara Croft NFTs in the collection. I think the misunderstanding here is that an individual NFT gives unique access to an in-game asset, sometimes NFT collections give unique ownership to a copy of the same game asset.

The abundance of cheap energy is based on renewable sources. They need to be built in the form of wind power and photovoltaics and others first. Blocking this of course raises the energy costs.

Why Apple’s iMessage is winning: teens dread the green text bubble
> Why does no one complain that the military doesn't turn a profit yet also costs nearly a trillion a year?

People complain all the time. The military budget is $700 billion. Healthcare expenses would be $5T to cover everyone in our current situation.

For reference, the total federal tax revenue is $3.86T. That’s individual, corporate, payroll, everything.

> Presumably the entire industry isn't going to magically become less complicated when a single payer option begins. There will still be a need for many of those roles, but they will be employed by the state instead of private companies siphoning profit.

Yes that’s the exact problem. How to not destroy millions of lives and the economy. You’re suggesting these people will go work for the state? We will literally have to, at minimum, double the effective tax at every single level. Double the federal income tax, double the payroll tax, etc.

Would you personally vote to double your total effective taxes? I would not.

Single payer just isn’t going to happen in the US anytime soon. Democrats can’t even corral the votes to fund an infrastructure bill that is a fraction of the cost an single player health plan would cost.

…and Democrats are going to get thrown out of Congress this year. So it’s time to move on to reforms that might actually happen.

Or we can keep endlessly chasing the perfect outcome and endlessly achieve nothing.

Nobody has blocked wind power or photovoltaics. If anything, they are pretty well subsidised as it is. They don't (currently?) provide enough power.
> If you have to stay home and take care of children, your career will suffer even if you are compensated for lost income

Not that big of a deal. Most people don't even have careers really, having children is already a career disadvantage, careers are mostly zero-sum competition so it balances out, etc.
It perfectly illustrates how there are two types of quarantine lockdowns-- the kind enforced by the government or policy, and the defacto kind that happens organically when too many people are sick or afraid of getting sick.

There's a false belief out there in this debate that if we don't have an enforced lockdown, we won't get a defacto one.

What makes you think they don’t implement event streams? The webhook is just an entry point at the edge of their application. It could easily be writing to a queue or some message broker. It’s simply easier when doing eg serverless because it’s hard to keep that long lived connection for indefinite amounts of time versus simply exposing a stateless HTTP API.
It mentions Tau Zero, but actually just how often are Bussard Ramjets invoked in SF stories?

Where there's no travel over great distances (e.g. most Cyberpunk and other SF about what happens here in the near future) this doesn't come up at all. e.g. Diamond Age doesn't need a a way to do interstellar travel since the furthest anybody goes is an airship ride to Europe or America.

Today's soft SF generally invokes some means of FTL travel (and so no practical mechanism needed) if the story will involve travel between solar systems, maybe it's wormholes, or there's a "warp drive" or that sort of thing. Banks' Culture novels do periodically try to "explain" how FTL travel works in their world but it's basically just magic. No need for a Bussard ramjet when you have magic.

And most hard SF avoids interstellar travel altogether because it's such a problem. Greg Egan has it simply take an incredibly long time in the Amalgam stories, Stross doesn't have it in Saturn's Children, even travel between planets is exhausting and expensive - (and although I guess his short story "Bit Rot" sort of counts, I don't think they were using a Bussard Ramjet for whatever they were attempting before the rot set in)
How to read research paper, textbook, long text content?
I can read less text content easily. my way of reading it is to make slides of all those texts and learn from the slides.

But I have issue with reading huge huge texts as you know in this case it will require too much time when I do this. Is there way to simplify this reading style?

eg-: of sth that I want to read is this.

https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.c...

It takes me 45 minutes to read 3 paragraph and comprehend it at least.

If I go that way, you can imagine, how long it takes me to read a research paper. Probably a week to read a research paper lol. Even reading articles in internet is a hassle for me if they are longer. If I just read what I need to learn it is easy as it will be few paragraphs but if I have to learn sth else long it is pain to me as I can't do it timely manner.

That's not the only way to lie. You could, for example, lie that a transaction that doesn't exist has gone through – say, in a cross-chain “currency exchange”. Or perform a double-spend attack. Or many other things, because the Byzantine fault tolerance doesn't apply in this case.

People used to say that nuclear would lead to power to cheap to meter. That never happened. I’m not sure it’s going to happen with renewables because of the large land use requirements.

Also is there anywhere in the world where adding wind and solar has led to lower electricity rates for ratepayers? European electricity and nat gas prices should go up about 50% this year.

Lastly, there was a story yesterday on HN about high fertilizer prices. The biggest reason for that is high natural gas prices, in part because of a lack of recent investment in new natural gas sources. There will be an energy transition, but so far the prices for energy and things derived from energy sources are really high.
Shell Builtin ‘eval’
This makes me smile. I bought a Canon Pixma inkjet photo printer last year, and upon taking apart the cartridges I was surprised to find the only thing inside was a 6 pin chip connected to nothing else but the printer -- no level sensing at all; I believe the printer just guesses how much ink it uses and records that on the chip.

Why are blog posts like these written as if they are the One True Way?

It's a question of state management. Sometimes, it's easier for the client to manage state. Sometimes, it's easier for the server to manage state. Sometimes, nobody really cares about holes in the state. Sometimes you need at-least-once delivery, maybe-once delivery, exactly-once delivery.

People can design communication architectures for the problems they actually have as long as they appreciate the trade-offs.

OP proposes that it's no big deal for long-polling to hold an open connection. At small scale, sure. At large scale, forget about it. It's a trade-off for not losing webhooks. But what if we don't care about dropped webhooks? If they're an optimization instead of a source of record? I guess OP is OK with that?
Won’t the intermittent nature hurt crypto less than other industries? We currently have a crypto mining company setting up in Texas where energy is cheap with the understanding that they might have to shut down and start up at a moments notice due to demand from the rest of the grid.

As long as these sources are available at all times in aggregate across the globe, crypto mining should be one of the most resilient industries.
Not really sure if it works for Dynamic DNS, either. I have one or two things pointing at my IP. Nothing comes up about them :(
Julia defaults to OpenBLAS but libblastrampoline makes it so that `using MKL` flips it to MKL on the fly. See the JuliaCon video for more details on that (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6hptekOR7s). The recursive comparison is against OpenBLAS/LAPACK and MKL, see this PR for some (older) details: https://github.com/YingboMa/RecursiveFactorization.jl/pull/2... . What it really comes down to in the end is that OpenBLAS is rather bad, and MKL is optimized for Intel CPUs but not for AMD CPUs, so when the best CPUs are now all AMD CPUs, having a new set of BLAS tools and mixing that with recursive LAPACK tools is either as good or better on most modern systems. Then we see this in practice even when we build BLAS into Sundials for 1,000 ODE chemical reaction networks (https://benchmarks.sciml.ai/html/Bio/BCR.html).

From my experience you’d usually have a message queue/broker for distributed and/or event driven architectures. Having incoming events is just a case of another producer in the system writing to the queue.
