Nitpick: Everybody will have B/T cells to kickstart antibody production on next infection, making it mild in the vast majority of cases. Antibodies naturally wane a few months after infection, otherwise our blood would turn into antibody paste in infancy.
I think it will end up as the flu, or as a combination. I read about a possible flu-corona (flurona?) combo a few days ago.
Do you mean you'll only make 19.2k net from 80k gross? That sounds like an awful amount of taxes. I'm from Austria and here it's ~27% for social security and income tax is ranging from 0% to 55%. From 80k gross you would make around 42k net (Calculated without any tax benefits).

Implied by arbitrary chunk order, chunks don't need to be stand-alone (or even syntactically valid, but that's probably asking for trouble):

well, this is something that can be somewhat mitigated by giving users a meaningful choice of software repositories. Like, f-droid maintainers are trusted not to tamper apps because of their reputation. However, this would also require making third-party repositories ("app stores" is the modern fancy term) to have the same system privileges as Google Play / Apple Appstore have - and by this I mean giving apps access to third party push notifications services.
Checksums might be a better example. People often use cryptographic hashes for check summing in non-security related scenarios. And, depends on the implementation, but MD5 or SHA-1 is often the same or better performance than a CRC checksum. That shouldn't be the case, but it often is.

Why is boredom important?
Exactly. As per my longer rantlet elsewhere in these comments. It's total bollox. My Canon printer won't print if it doesn't recognise an ink cartridge as being kosher. End of story. The only error message you can ignore and still continue to print is the one about 'ink may have run out'.
What's that channel about?
I think Android is designed such that even the Play Store cannot replace an installed app with a differently signed one. Or at least it used to be. And, "Android" is controlled by whoever made your phone, not directly by Google unless it's a Pixel device.

That said, it's a thin line. If Google had changed things at some point so that the Play Store could override the signing continuity requirement I wouldn't be remotely surprised.
> they either get it because they've read that book, or they understand that they don't and can save themselves a lot of time and confusion and ask what you mean.

I've read that book and several other works on the subject and I still can't remember which one is system I and which is system II. I get why they use those labels (because they don't want to pre-suppose the characteristics of what they're investigating). But I do find them frustratingly undescriptive.
I'll take 10% ;)

It's a good gig because it actually requires something that is somewhat rare: lots of experience, so it's a natural match for the older hands-on tech people.
Well it can allegedly make photos of Jupiter that would be comparable of doing them during a close flyby, but that's likely not good enough for something of that sort. You'd have to see things through kilometers of ice.
I have an EPSON MFP, had the exact same experience. Their mobile app integrates with everything I need and the amount of control I have over printing settings is great.

They introduced recharging cartridges, dropping ink prices by an order of magnitude, while still keeping ink quality very high. Third party ink quality was always hard to predict, I prefer relying on the manufacturer's.

I'm happy with their approach.

I'm so glad to see someone else saying this. It absolutely will be remembered as a Mass Hysteria. It also has overtones of the worst that state religion has to offer. Ironically, W. Bernstein published a book in 2021 called "The Delusions of Crowds: Why People Go Mad in Groups" that completely ignored our response to Covid (except to toe the party line). Even more ironically, Bernstein had harsh words for Mackay, author of the 1841 classic "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds", in which Mackay ignored the ongoing British Railway Bubble.
I don't understand why this author is talking about bitcoin, when Moxie's article was about web3. I thought Moxie's article was more about what has happened with the ecosystem, versus what could happen.
Probably because it was all exposed during the 35 year construction process.
The claim about Instant Ink DRM is narrowly accurate but disingenuously presented.

The printer won't take Instant Ink cartridges if it's not enrolled in the program, that's true. But there aren't supposed to be Instant Ink carts floating around the aftermarket in the first place - when you sign up for that program, part of the deal is agreeing to ship the spent cartridges back to HP, in postage-paid packaging they provide along with each re-up.

I think that's because of the print heads, which are oddly absent from every discussion of printer economics I've ever encountered.

In my gallery-quality photo printer, the print head is a discrete component costing $350 to replace - 3.5x the price of a full OEM set of eight ink tanks. HP cartridges have integral heads, but I see no reason to think they cost meaningfully less per cm^2 to manufacture than the Canon head does.

I think that's why the Instant Ink program prices purely on page count, and not at all by ink usage, which after all would seem to make more sense for an ink subscription. Shipping back the spent cartridges means, excepting wear and damage, HP can turn most of them around for reuse without having to manufacture new carts with expensive new heads.

I think that's what they care about much more than the cost of the ink per se, and even the cost of the printer. The pricing model doesn't entirely make sense otherwise - if you print photos on an Instant Ink-subscribed device, you'll never hit the 100-page threshold for a price bump before you exhaust the carts and get a re-up.

Their BAs have to know this is the case, and they could easily enough address it with a surcharge for relatively frequent re-ups, or just by charging for ink usage past a certain threshold. That all could happen on their end, driven by printer-reported usage data, but they don't, so I can print photos to my heart's content for the cost of paper and $3 a month for all the ink I can eat. (And have! Went through 3 cart sets in a month once, back before I got my Pixma.)

If the subscription fee really is going to pay for the actual ink, that's an absurd amount of money to leave on the table, so I have to figure HP's upside is elsewhere, and the print heads seem like the likeliest place given how much they seem to cost to make.

How come nobody in the "printers suck and printer ink is a scam" discourse ever seems to think about this? I'm just a yahoo with a camera, I can't possibly be the first to have thought about it...
Keep in mind that Bulgaria has just elected a reformist parliament for the first time in more than 10 years. Maybe wait a year or two before buying a one-way ticket as the government may raise taxes, especially on the unaffected by the anti-COVID measures. Or they could lower taxes even more if they manage to get on top of the rampant tax evasion and grey economy (one can hope).

Also there are other small things to consider:

* Healthcare in Bulgaria is severely underfunded and understaffed. Not only that, but the incentive system for hospitals is currently IMO completely broken, as they get paid per patient i.e. more sick people = more pay, not more healthy people. My current belief is that you need to live in a large city if you want to have a chance to survive an incident or a heart attack/stroke. Source: trust me, I live here, have lost several family members due to poor healthcare, and have had one receiving incompetent treatment so the hospital can receive more money from health insurance.

* Same goes for childcare/education.

* * There is currently a severe deficit of kindergartens in the large cities -- Sofia (~10k children left out), Plovdiv, Varna and Burgas.

* * Bulgarian public education has been in a freefall for the last 10 years as evidenced by dropping results in state exams and international studies (https://gpseducation.oecd.org/CountryProfile?primaryCountry=...). Private schooling is available in large cities and unsurprisingly is limited. Take into account potential need of home-schooling if you plan to start a family here.

* The public institutions are (currently) not working or corrupt. There are issues with the judicial system, the prosecution, the police, etc. Tl; dr: better hope you won't have to deal with those before major reforms and definitely don't rely on having your rights protected by them. You are on your own here.

Do not be under the illusion that Bulgaria is just like $western_european_country but with less taxes and cheaper housing. Everything comes at a price. You will not find many things you take for granted in your home country here.

US regulators plan to fine retailers if they use fake reviews
I was working with RCS related stuff for a carrier R&D group in 2008-2009. I was sure it was a dead horse already then, so it blew my mind when the term reappeared a year or two ago. I actually had to check if it was just coincidentally the same name. But no, somehow the thing was still alive and now after over a decade actually adopted too.

It's anyway useless outside of US now as that ship has sailed, proprietary chat apps ate the market.

I am a big believer in Flag Theory and stuff…

I currently pay about 2,5% on my gross income ($100k+) as a software developer, which is more than most of EU/US developers are left after tax…

In a short, if you’re willing to make some trade-offs and optimize your taxes, you’ll be legally retaining your hard earned $$$. Among the trade-offs, tax residency is the most important. Things are a bit complicated for US citizens as the government taxes their income regardless of their tax residency, citizenship-based.

P.S. That 2,5% includes all the fees like accounting, legal consultations and banking fees (account maintenance, transfers…)
I had a series of severe panic attacks in beginning of December 2021. Ended up in emergency.

To be clear, i have chronic anxiety which got worse due to me moving to another country where i don't have any relatives. On top of that i was very overworked.

It's been a month since then and i still can't recover. It's very hard for me to go outside. If i go to unfamiliar places or there's too much people i start feeling like panic attack is building up. And on work, i can't concentrate, and have mild panic attacks during meetings(if i have to speak). Took a few weeks vacation which is ending in few days. And i feel like i'm still not ready to start working...
> I feel that he has failed to raised software development from craftsmanship towards engineering.

That's why he called it "The Art of Computer Programming", not "Engineering Principles for Computer Programming".
The article expands upon this point in great detail. To wit:

> Flutter's HttpServer that crashed on iOS if the user briefly switched to another app and then back to mine.

The author is seemingly capable of writing a solution to the concrete problem, and even debugging and fixing issues in simple libraries, but fixing this issue in Flutter itself (which is much more complex than a concrete solution) is too complicated, leaving him at the mercy of the Flutter maintainers.

He may be saved from solving an old problem again, but it seems that he now has a new, much harder problem to solve. In this context, I think it makes sense to describe using the Flutter library as a technial debt in your definition above.

You say that libraries are a Good Thing (tm), but how would you handle such an issue?
Talking about brushes instead of paintings.

An overwhelming part of society has lost the essence in everything and went full-on meta, some 10 years ago one could find wonderful album reviews on Discogs, as example, but not anymore - the vinyl press quality is the topic 99% of comments over there now.

Right, that's what I mean (I had understood the term disruption incorrectly). Is there a reason this is not a lucrative venture, to produce something clean and user-friendly that captures the goodwill of customers and force competitors to play nice?

I'd imagine a business would be over the moon with the scenario you're describing.
Come to Albania, should be easier for italians. Assuming you work remote, no taxes until ~$120K, then it's 15% of profit.

On your wage, you'll pay $50/month economist + $80/month health/pension + $80/month municipal taxes.

These taxes changed this year. Previous year it was 5% if you pass $50K and 15% if you surpass ~$120K.

>I think English may lack a term for how this feels [comfy + unhealthy].

Perhaps we need a word. It would be a good one, since the best words combine complex, even opposite concepts. My first thought was "sickly-sweet". I also like the new phrase "doom scrolling", combining the dramatic and the banal, which also kind of applies. Somehow the phrase "doom snuggle" comes to mind (although this sounds more like a situation resulting in an unusable arm). Maybe better is "isolace", a portmanteau describing the solace of isolation.

Do you go outside at all?

I recently been locked up in my apartment due to panic attacks. Only go to gym to walk on treadmill.
Sadly, not my experience. I bought a Brother HL-L3210CW an my advice is to avoid it.

Cartridges have chips and the printer randomly stops recognizing the third party ones. The official service provider told me it's the cartridges and the solution is to buy original ones at over 3x the price.

I am not a happy customer.
Funny thing is that the virus does not care about our opinions. It will take it’s own course, for good or bad. We will have to deal with the outcome. The world will not end. It’s already different. Are you asking if Will it ever go back to the way it was? Based on past pandemics, eventually yes. The question is when? I’ll leave that for smarter folks then I to answer. People are already loosing patience and I am noticing more individuals not follow safety protocols in public. They are exhausted and resigned to whatever will be. It’s like people are following a grieving process: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and eventually acceptance. Look around when you’re out and about and notice every individual around you fits somewhat into a different phase. This applies to organizations as well as individuals. Ex Walmart says they don’t allow maskless, close to sanitize stores, yet when customers don’t wear masks they say they can’t enforce. Also look at ridiculous changing CDC guidance.
The slides basically show examples from other literate programs.

I also intended to give a live demonstration of literate code development, as outlined above.

My own review is mixed. Those wax-block printers (Xerox Phaser) gave good color rendering and resolution even 20 years ago, but at the cost of waxy-feeling pages and poor thermal stability - leave a stack of printed sheets in a hot car for an hour and you'd come back to find them stuck together, and peeling them apart would leave half a given sheet's impression stuck to the back of the one on top of it. Too bad if you find this out after the client visit right before the pitch meeting where you need to hand those printouts around, and without enough time to run back to the office and make more.
> I do not mind there being long comments in the code.

Me neither. If the code is good, its author may put in some Haikus about his thoughts about the meaning of life for all I care. If it's to much, I can use my IDE and just hide it.

What bothers me isn't lots of comments per-se, but when more emphasis is put on having lots of comments, than on having good, readable code.
> Hashing is also not secure hashing

And to work with the analogy of the article: grinding a cow into a hamburger is hashing but not secure hashing, because if you have the right tools you can inspect the hamburger and determine some properties about the particular cow that it came from, like if it had mad cow disease. I dunno exactly what a securely hashed burger would be, but I don’t think it’d taste very good.
I agree.

But I think there’s also a basic misunderstanding about what a T-shaped individual is and why they are sought after outside academia. It’s not because they can do a bit of everything, setting up the build system with one hand and designing the logo with the other. (That’s more what you’d call a jack of all trades.)

The reason T-shaped individuals are sought after in industry is that they are effective leaders. They understand enough about the problem domain(s) to identify meaningful problems and enough about the solution domain to help map out the solution space.

The reason you’d want more T-shaped people in machine learning research is that they will ask better research questions, not because they’ll design prettier logos.
I think a pragmatic compromise here is to do "chatty" programming.

Don't tell me tautological comments("add X and Y"), but I want to know what the overall strategy of your algorithm is. Is it flawed? Do you like it? What needs improving? Why did you choose this data structure over that one? It doesn't have to be much detail, but having a chunk of text to read is some of the best onboarding you can get for a new piece of code.

Code with comments that simply write down what it is supposed to do, is not documented properly. I can now see what it does in a documentation generator, yes, but the moment I need to work on that code it's just an opaque piece of crap.
1) I have access to OpenAI Davinci-Codex. I can and I did recreate their results on few prompts.

2) It is not really an issue of how easy it is to break. If it is able to solve the problem it will do it somewhat reliably. The issue is that questions provide solutions. So, "Solve each equation for x: ln(x*2-1)=3" will just keep on generating more similar problems, but "Using Sympy, solve Eq ln(x*2-1)=3 for x." will work.

For example, you will never get this prompt to work: "Find the limits as x → ∞ and as x → −∞ . Use this information, together with intercepts, to give a rough sketch of the graph as in Example 12. y = x 2 (x 2 − 1) 2 (x + 2)" but their step by step what to do prompt does work.

If you don't know Python ecosystem and you don't know how the solution should look like then you are out of luck.

3) Sympy does not seem hard to use. Codex is actually pretty good at writing "template" code. It struggles with anything that requires some level of reasoning instead of matching template to a problem.

4) Could you point me to the exact questions? I can try to recreate it.

OpenAI Codex is actually quite good. It is groundbreaking in comparison to anything before it, but it is far, far, far from perfect. It's like really bad stackoverflow in the sense that if you probe it couple of times it will provide you reasonably looking solution that may or may not work.

I would also not focus on the current state. Trajectory of improvement is more important. 5 years ago you could not get anything even comparable to Codex, in next 5 years it may just be far from perfect, and in 10 years it may actually work. On many metrics, on average over years, Deep Learning is improving 2x every year or so.

Well, you're editing the Latex version of the literate program. But since my development "style" is to make small changes, rebuild, test, and re-create the code and PDF, my "thinking" isn't focused on the "non-typeset" version.

Pick up a physics textbook. Copy down all of the equations. Throw away the textbook and learn physics only using the equations. That's what programmers do. They write down the "equations" but fail to explain the ideas.

Equations, like programs, are really just an "iconic form" of an idea. The idea, however, lives in the surrounding text.
