I’m imagining a post Covid world where contingents that were the most affected by Covid lockdowns (restaurant workers for example) harboring immense bitterness and resentment about it all. I wouldn’t go around telling people we wfh’d home the whole time or worse, those that lucked into prolonged government stimulus (not everyone needed it, but got it).
Can any of you please elucidate what you two are referring to?
Low blood sugar is not harmless either. It simply depends on the person, of whether they should eat something right now or not.
Unless you're planning to isolate at home indefinitely or live somewhere very remote you are pretty much guaranteed to be exposed to covid at some point. A good proportion of my friends have already had it twice. Consider that Omicron is more infectious than the common cold and how many colds you've had in your life.

The main risk factor in whether you develop an auto-immune disorder (other than the specifics of your own body and immune system which you can't do much about) seems to be the severity of the infection. You can still get these issues with a mild infection, but it's much less likely. And a vaccine pretty much is just a very mild infection with an engineered variant that can't reproduce, which then also reduces the severity if you later catch it. So intuitively it would seem like a pretty good bet. And as others have pointed out the statistics support that this is also true in practice.
This article seems to be intentionally written in a hyperbolic fashion, comparing things which are completely different with each other under the guise of "web3" or "blockchains".

Bundling a bunch of bad sounding things up and pretending they are interrelated is intellectually dishonest and counter productive to anyone who takes the time to read the article.
> Sure you have to pick up a phone, but if it lands you a $2,000 deal that requires 10-20 hours of work, then why are you upset?

Because I have to pick up a phone. Phones are scary.
One thing IMO - that would help our leaders is if they recognize “science” is not a person or a thing… it’s a process. Away if thinking that allows for the discovery of both positive and negative outcomes. It is a process. /2cents
> Yes, definitely not true for all programmers. I guess with games, if you cannot get real time with instant compiles development experience with 120fps running 8k in debug mode, there is a room for improvement.

Day to day that doesn't matter. I work on multiplayer games, and being able to run 8/12/16 clients on one machine at 10 fps at ultra low graphics is far more important than being able to run stupid resolutions. You do bring up another point though - GPU performance. Apologies for the links but I'm on my phone, but [0] and [1] have 3dmark benchmarks for the M1 GPU and an RTX 3090 GPU - the 3090 scores twice what the M1 GPU does. This might not be important to you, but it is to some people.

Ultimately that's all it comes down to. If you're not limited by the form factor/performance of a laptop power to you, but some of us are!

Have we become so mentally weak that the last 2 years have been considered "torture"?

The worst kept secret is that schools in the US are little more than babysitting services.

My son is a type 1 diabetic and we pulled him out of school a month before schools went virtual and he hasn't been back. He hasn't played with his friends in 18 months. He's still a happy go lucky kid. Kids are adaptable. It's not all doom and gloom.
That does not match my real world experience. If you have an array of small structs then the padding matters. And if some fields are hot while others are cold you usually want to split the array of structs into two arrays of structs, one with the cold part and one with the hot. The use case Go optimizes for is not common in the fields I have been working in.

I think the default should be to minimize size and that it should be possible to opt out for the rare case where exact order matters.

I live in Finland, and simply by Googling in Finnish I can find several companies reselling used company laptops, and there's at least one local one that I can physically go to (I've bought a used monitor from there, and they always have stacks of ThinkPads in the store when I go in).
I'm in a developing country in South America. I'm avoiding mentioning it by name since my acquaintances are on here, it's a small country, and I want to stay anonymous.
If you read my comment you will see that it is not, in fact an attack on you and if I had not made the unfortunate use of the word ‘claim’ and instead said ‘I’d like to counter your anecdote with one of my own …… and lets wait until there’s more data’ then we wouldn’t be having this thread. As it stands I apologise and also retract my snappy comment that you are replying to above.

The problem with anecdote, whichever way you cut it, particularly in a charged debate like this, is that they get picked up and snowball just like the election being stolen. People believe them, even if there is no data. Now we can’t wait until the data is in in every circumstance particularly in a public health crisis. So it’s appropriate to try and inform, listen to the stories, and do the studies, and also recognise that when you try and give some new medication to billions of people there’s bound to be some blowback. But how much? To what degree? And are we communicating the issues in a truthful, timely and non-alarmist manner?

You wrote a very long reply, but didn’t really address my argument directly. I am fully vaccinated, but I’m not blind to capitalistic interests and corruption.

The “science” in this case are vaccines produced by pharmaceutical corporations that have the ability to dictate that developing countries pledge their sovereign assets to cover their exorbitant pricing. (1) All vaccine companies are fighting over patents and ownership. And there’s innumerable other scandals. (2)

You appear to trust authorities way more than I do, so we probably won’t ever see eye to eye on this.

no, it isn't. Don't go around spreading FUD, the article makes no mention of causation for the deaths, extrapolating that to an entirely hypothetical (and unfounded) vaccine induced immunodeficiency is unjustified.

It's also curious that we feed an animal that laughs (cows) to an animal that doesn't laugh (cats) and somehow construct logic to justify it all morally.

This saddens me greatly.

I'm continually amazed at the arrogant, ignorant, and down right "head in the sand" nature that has swept across the minds of the land. Worse is that "their thoughts are not theirs". They are being taught to hate you because your truth is inconvenient.

Faster hardware maybe but I think the ThinkPad has other benefits, like being easy to repair and upgrade. I'm extremely frustrated at my 2018 MBP, I stupidly went with the cheaper 256GB option and really wish I could just pop in a 1TB drive. Plus once the honeymoon period with macOS ended I'm now essentially stuck with an operating system I've grown to hate as support for Linux is dismal even with the latest kernel 3+ years on (No keyboard, trackpad, WiFi, Audio, suspend support plus more little issues!). An x220 or other ThinkPad should be very well supported. M1 macs have more interest from Linux devs right now but I'd be hesitant to pick one up unless it runs Linux perfectly now out of the box with most distros.

I have seriously contemplated picking up an X220 or some other old ThinkPad even though the hardware would technically be a massive downgrade.
Acting as an anti-coagulat is a recently-recognized minor side effect of a medicine that's been a recognized analgesic and anti-inflammatory for millennia.

If you're still a kid ASA is not recommended as an anti-fever medication because of the risk of Reye's syndrome. Perhaps that's why no one you know uses it. Perhaps it's because the patent on it expired a century ago (a result of war reparations, no less) and drug companies find it more lucrative to push their alternatives.
>Aspirin works as a painkiller, but it is not appropriate for regular ingestion as self-medication if you don't know what you're doing.

It might or might not be safe, but the parent claim was that nobody they know uses it as a painkiller, and that thus it's a "strange choice" if someone does, when it's (a) very common worldwide, (b) described as such in every medical website or source.
Crypto Wishes for 2022
I first started using XMPP heavily in 2014 when I was thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail. Much of the trail has extremely limited cell coverage (even if you can get Edge some of the towers are so bad you can literally only get a few bytes per second). I evaluated several different protocols and apps for communication with family, and XMPP beat them all hands down every time. The long lived TCP connections meant that once a connection was established I could keep it up and it would sit there slurping up the bits as it came. That experience later led me to get involved with the community and even write a spec about using XMPP on high-latency low-bandwidth networks.

It may have been bad at this at one time, I don't know, but at least since I've been using it's been fantastic with poor network quality, I suspect the people saying otherwise are just repeating something they learned in the early 2000s that's no longer true.

I like this idea in principle! Of course, enforcing it is another question altogether, but ... a step in the right direction, nonetheless.

Question, why does the payment plan appearing in the code rather than in the license make a difference? Assuming you're not allowed to distribute/modify etc without also including the license, does it matter where the payment plan is coded? Or am I missing the point here?

I don’t think it’s reasonable to live in 2022 and argue that academia isn’t influenced by capitalistic interests. This is so backwards of a viewpoint that I don’t have the time to argue further.

Suicides were actually down. This is entirely due to Covid deaths. This effect is so large you can’t minimize it, and some of these kids who didn’t die will have lifelong issues because of Covid. It doesn’t only kill old people.

And it always amazes me that people are just now caring about kids education. Our school systems have been demonstrably backsliding for 20 years. The ranks of teachers are thinner than ever, and the pay/benefits are so low teachers aren’t going to risk their lives to go into the classroom — many were already working second jobs, which made it really easy to stop teaching.

You want to improve kids education? Invest in the school systems, because a big part of the reason the pandemic was so negative for kids’ learning is that we had starved our public school systems of resources for decades before anyone ever got sick.
Mark should see my dog after he eats cat food.
I have just moved to another country yesterday and I was in a similar position for the past couple weeks. Also I’m still yet to meet someone who enjoys the process of moving a house.

If you constantly switch context between organising your move and work you’ll most probably fail at both.

I’d suggest dividing your calendar if possible and create a clear split of time where you can focus on each of the challenges separately. Possibly doing both in a separate physical location I would be beneficial.

Moving is stressful and the general anxiety of such event can spill to other areas of life as well. I’d try to identify the core tasks that have to be done to move and figuring out which ones are stressing you out the most. Handle those first. Removing the biggest obstacles can help to ease your mind so you can focus on your work better.

Good luck!
I would be pretty shocked if the majority of people who own bitcoin understand it in any real sense.
This really should not be a surprise. There are many countries that have extremely low covid case counts and deaths compared to their population and development status. And even some of the developed countries get it terribly wrong, for instance, NL, where I live has a 50% gap between the official COVID deaths and the excess deaths taken over the same period (about 21000 officially, and about 40000 when looking at excess deaths). The government publications, debates and various websites all use the first number, only the CBS, the bureau for statistics uses the second.

You're right that we should keep searching for better solutions, but I don't think it helps to trivialize the problem or the steps people have taken to date.

While we're all painfully aware of the shortcomings in various responses, it's disingenuous to say that the pandemic would "not have been an issue if we would talk to each other". Similarly, "just" taking our cumulative knowledge and resources and having WFH, vaccination, and all the other adjustments work instantly and without issue is a high bar; I've personally worked on projects over the past two years trying to help smooth the transition on a small subset or those adjustments, and it's not an easy undertaking.

To have a reasonable discussion of the tradeoffs of various measures, it requires acknowledgement of the challenges and drawbacks of the alternatives. I agree we've got far better capabilities than 100 years ago and we should have these discussions, but thought it might help to shift your framing a bit.

This is very much different from module loading in Node: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29871936

So you immediately pinpointed the difference: with Node I can run my own registry and easily set up npm/yarn to never load packages from anywhere else. Deno loads code from random urls.
My main reaction to this was that for it to be really useful it can’t be a generic website.

For instance if you’d sit for 15 min and think about times you needed to check your situation, you’d come up with a checklist of 5 to 10 items, and could pin it in your note taking or document management app of choice.

It would fill the same niche as this site, except it’s completely tailored to your life, your needs, with the proper actions related to each items.

> In browser land, the less code you ship, the better

That's kinda funny. These node tools I run into these days usually take forever to install, waste a lot of space due to creating their own package mirror and generally are prone to break because of dependencies.

There is usually nothing tiny about them, even thought they only have a few lines of code.
> I'm not anti mask but people are way too dismissive of the damage done to children who have to wear masks all the time

I take you don't have children? I have, and they do regularly socialize, and none of the families I've ever talked with, mentioned any form of damage due to this.

Social isolation during the first wave - that was a real problem; there was concrete suffering.

I actually have an alternative take on this: if society is not able to do something as simple as consistently use a mask, there's no hope to do something that requires concrete sacrifice as mitigating global warming.
The only time charging is a hassle is long road trips. And honestly the really fast chargers make that only marginally painful.
Yes, and more precisely that "I'm different" for things like above is more often than not due to habbits and cultural/family/learnt preferences than to some unique physiology or body needs.
> that a small percentage of vulnerable people can prolong their life for a few years

What do you even mean? The population-weighted infection fatality rate is somewhere around 0.8% (for vanilla SARS-CoV-2), can you even imagine what that would mean in terms of deaths alone? We are not even talking about hospitalisations or severe cases or chronic disease, or the collapse of critical infrastructure and the economy.

I don't get this "Covid is just a problem for the old and weak" rhetoric, is that the society you want to live in?

And no, the floor of fatality is not 0.5%, you’re off by an order of magnitude (too high) at least.

And source for risk of diabetes.

You’re throwing a lot of “facts” around that don’t seem to be true.
It's not black and white; a lost year of education is a terrible thing on its own in terms of future prospects - but kids need to be around their peers for reasons that go beyond academic success. Lengthy periods of isolation are normally considered a punishment for a reason. It's not supposed to last indefinitely or be a constant threat based on factors they can't control, and appeals to the greater good can only be justified for so long (and only when the effects of the restrictions put in place are actually effective and not overridden by other harms they may cause).
Very bad optics that. Wow.

deal with autistic colleagues

"Autistic" is not an acceptable term to use in a derogatory way, and not fair to the TONS of people on the autism spectrum who work hard to fit in at a predominantly neurotypical workplace.

I don't know if you meant it in that way but your use of that word is very unsavory in this context, and I urge you to be a little more considerate in your use of that word when you finish your search and join a company.
Amazing, thank you. That’s 90% what I’m looking for.
