I wouldn't call something hypochondria just because I personally haven't had to deal with it. It's really great that you've never had this issue and I hope you never have to, but if we're going by anecdotes, there are several in this very thread from people who have.

Diet can be a contributing factor, yes. I mention it a bit in this comment, with a link to a journal issue that talks about these issues in dogs and cats, including some information on frequency and contributing factors: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29864189
I was not precise when I said notifications. I already set it to "only mentions". My problem was that each channel will "light-up" when anyone is commenting in them. I have to mute each channel or mark all as read for the whole server to avoid this. On IRC you opt in to channels.
> Effectively Covid stimulus may have forced the government to step in, releasing the inflation QEs been brewing.

Not quite. QE created inflation in assets that are not a part of inflation indicators, at least directly, like stock and real estate. QE resulted in phenomena like Tesla's utterly absurd meteoric valuation during the past year.

There are some markets where QE and stimulus checks, such as rent prices, which mixes an increase in disposable income on the demand-side and a need to validate inflated investments in real estate on the supply-side.
Doesn't that seem wrong on some level? It's like saying climate change will make weather "worse" which seems too anthropocentric.
Does anyone know who the author is (beyond the name) and what their background is? Do they work at NASA, for example?
Thanks, that's interesting! I had the impression that it was lower, but I must admit I lack experience in the publishing practices of pure mathematics.
It does say that, but I'm still skeptical. Shouldn't the total number of beds in use also be skyrocketing along with the Covid number?

Also:

""In ICU” numbers include people testing positive for COVID-19 and people who are in ICU for a COVID-19-related illness but have since tested negative."

It's not clear from the text that they are excluding people in the ICU with a positive test but are there for another reason.

I thought about that and actually had toggle buttons before. But there are some advantages to the "syntax" UI:

- You can use the keyboard. Couldn't you use keyboard shortcuts? Not that easy in the browser, because most shortcuts are already taken, and though you can override them, that also confuses people.

- You always see in the searchfield what search mode you're in. The buttons would have to be in the sidebar, which isn't always visible, depending on how wide the window is. And even if it's visible, you still have to look there, whereas you're already looking at the searchfield.

And it's not that hard to remember, it's kind of mnemonic: Exclamation mark to sort by priority, because you use an exclamation mark at the end of a sentence to mark it as important. Star to sort by changes, because when you change a file in a terminal text editor, you see a star next to the name. I should probably explain this in the app.

ThinkType also has a kind of help UI. If you hit F1, you see the keyboard shortcuts in the sidebar. (Only works if the sidebar is visible.) Should also explain the query syntax there.
CFR is very different than IFR. And early data is worthless on this, since only the most severe cases would’ve been tested and confirmed.

> Because no one is interesting in running their own server.

"Home facing" servers and "network facing" servers are not the same thing at all. I'm not saying that implies a completely different attitude towards using them, but the differences are really important. If your social media identity lived on your own network-facing server, rather than FB/Twitter/Twitch/Discord/etc. servers, you may well feel differently about running it.
Kodak tried once. They sold pigment based printers which had a very good quality and were way cheaper than regular ink to refill. Then they killed it after they filed for bankruptcy in 2013.

The printer I owned saw a lot of use printing in a business setting and it had some build quality issues requiring a replacement every 9 months or so but they always replaced it under warranty with no major hassle.

That kind of sucks but I’d still take that over any regular inkjet now.
Hedging against government induced inflation. Easy money transfer across borders without a 3rd party. Those are two pretty strong values.
I don’t understand the mindset of open source developers who dedicate significant time energy and life to free software, unless there’s a tangible, quantifiable advantage to doing so.

That advantage may well be indirect such as reputational or learning. I just don’t grasp why people do it for nothing, to the advantage of large companies.
Credit cards also have fees. When you start talking thousands of dollar transactions CC start being more expensive.
I agree about the art, especially at those prices, but I will also note that all proceeds from sales are donated to a charitable foundation.
As a legal resident of Finland, from NYC, I can vote in local, municipal elections here, too. I think it actually makes sense to let people who pay tax have a say in how it is spent.
I got into Charles Mingus through "Mingus Plays Piano", I particularly like piano jazz when working, but any bop oriented jazz is good. Newcomers should give "Myself When I Am Real" a listen, it's a lovely composition.

From my perspective, the point of contention is whether we are doing this to a satisfactory level, or even "seriously" trying to. Like, what can we point to as humanity seriously trying, with the same seriousness we devote to other endeavours?

It sounds like you've been able to consistently land dev jobs, produce working software (it's not your responsibility to ensure the thing you've been asked to build is commercially viable), and build a good reputation (you mention good feedback and promotions), plus you've made a ton of money (most people make way less money than software engineers, and the average software engineer has not gotten a lucrative stock windfall). I think you've been very successful :)

> It's been a couple months and I have achieved nothing.

At my first software job it was said that a new hire typically wouldn't be a net positive for the team until they'd been there a year. You wouldn't necessarily have even been given a real task in the first two months, let alone gotten it shipped. Big companies have bureaucracy and gatekeeping (for good and bad reasons) and operate on timescales of months or years. By design, a new person can't unilaterally be productive. It's possible that investing the time to empower you to be productive just doesn't seem urgent to them right now - dealing with the fallout of a manager leaving may be much higher priority. You're on the payroll, they know you'll be around for them to utilize when they need you...

> If I can't work in the tech industry it would completely upend my entire life.

Based on what you've said, this fear sounds very unlikely to come about. Even if this company is dysfunctional and you need to move on, you have a history of being able to get tech jobs, and it sounds like you've made a positive impression on many coworkers in the past, so I imagine they'd vouch for you. And there's a ton of demand for developers right now, and a wide variety of companies to choose from!
Not the OP but the shadow effect is that the light can only kill viruses if it reaches them directly. So if the virus is on your skin under your clothes or in your nose or behind a sofa, the light can't reach it. If the virus is embedded in dirt or opaque oils the light can't reach it. If you're in a crowded room and there is a temporary display that was put up everyone in the shadow of it is not protected as much. Every shadow is a place the virus can lurk, on a surface or in the air. Putting far UVC LED's in places like air conditioners and HVAC systems may make some sense. Putting them in rooms may not, although they would reduce risk to some extent, even though they won't have full coverage. The safety of far-UVC has not been extensively tested, yet it is already being deployed:

Yes, I'm aware. I'm not worried because in my contracts it's mentioned that I offer consulting services.
There are specialist roles that I’d hire (and have hired) for $2500-$5000 per day. That doesn’t make for a $600K/yr income for those people.

A good rule of thumb is to plan to bill not much more than 1000 hours per year, making $300/hr more like a $300K/yr gross income.
We had a LOGO turtle at school in the late 80s I guess? I can’t remember if it was hooked up to the BBC Micros or the RM Nimbus pseudo-PC that were popular in UK schools at the time. But either way, it seemed amazingly cool.
Lots. My wife and I are in the process of trying to become licensed as foster/adoptive parents in the state of Texas and quite a bit of the paperwork we have had to fill out will open fine in a browser, but can only be edited in Adobe Reader. I just had to fill out a form to get a new common access card to work as a federal contractor for the US DoD and it wasn't possible to save edits to the form except with Adobe Reader Pro. Even the free version of Adobe didn't work. I could read the form fine, but if I can't fill it out, I can't submit it.

A lot of this is just issues with skeuomorphism. There is little reason any of these workflows need to use pdfs at all, except that it represents a smaller feeling change from the legacy paper workflows compared to migrating to a purely web-based workflow that uses html forms instead of editable pdfs. Heck, I think I remember the FAFSA being fully html-based forms over 15 years ago when I first went to grad school, but I'm not totally sure.
Totally. Bash is such nonsense. Its little better then batch on Windows.

PowerShell is such joy that it should be there on any Linux as default interactive shell.
At least systems were smaller then and much better documented, so the effort was at least well supported. Perhaps the quality is correlated with that since you weren't able to squeeze quantity into your work anyway, so your efforts had to go into quality.
This is really interesting! Thanks for sharing!
I assume checks in the USA have the equivalent of sort code and account number printed on them (as well as name of the account holder) like they used to in the U.K.?
Anytime I do anything with python on Linux or MacOS I encounter python, python3, pip, pip3, venv, virtualenv, conda, poetry... so much machinery around the code. Throw in your platform-specifc package manager of choice as well (apt, brew, etc)

I'm talking about AmigaOS. Bits and pieces were based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIPOS and the kernel itself had a lot of UNIXy sort of features. In the late 1980s if your work job is sitting in front of a Sun workstation you bought an Amiga for home instead of a Mac or DOS machine. I would dial my Amiga into work before going to work and remote shell in (rlogin/rsh/rcp) and just shuffle things back an forth without effort. One could do CS homework both on the Amiga and on the SunOS systems just by linking to a different library. I never even had a C compiler on my AMIGA, didn't need one. I can't imagine writing some code on UNIX and that trivially making it run on a Mac or DOS machine. People even build stub UNIX libraries for AmigaOS that faked the user/group/permissions and other bits of the UNIX experience. It was just a pleasant experience for those late 80s compared to the alternatives.

AMIX is a whole different can of worms, they did that much later and I'd expect it was like porting between HP/UX, AIX, BSD etc. Probably pretty easy by then.
It also aligns with a perverse incentive to make the printers cheaper and more disposable, creating more waste.
Red vs. blue was also a thing in the American Revolutionary War. Not quite sure how (or if) it relates to other uses, but figured I'd throw it out there in case someone else can make the connection.
Research papers are written for professors and others in the field who are deeply familiar with the topic being investigated. They are not written for laymen or as general introductions to a topic.

Textbooks may be introductory in nature, or may be advanced and assume a lot of prerequisite knowledge.

If you are trying to learn about something new, you have to start with the basics.

If you are struggling and finding that the text makes no sense at all then ask yourself if you are diving too deep too fast.
Can you expound upon this? As someone with severe allergies I tend to take quite a bit of antihistamines.
Welcome to enterprise, where breaking things is a feature so commonly used Microsoft has documentation for it [1] and things are often deployed by people whose sole concern is "minimize attack surfaces". Our Teams installation not only disables API calls (official Teams client only), chat sessions are deleted if no one posts to them meaning most chat history is lost every weekend.

Microsoft uses these anti-features as a selling point, and in a large enough organization, it's not immediately clear who turned them on or who can turn them off.
EDIT: given that the model was developed in 1971, I think some of the below should be reconsidered. But I will leave it unaltered so that the thread discussion continues to make sense.

-----

I don't think it's a very insightful model, because I don't think people are segregating because they want some % of their neighbors to look like them. And even if they do, I think the tendency toward segregation is pretty trivially obvious and doesn't require a fancy agent based model to prove, although I'm sure it's fun to fiddle with the parameters and see what happens.

Hypotheses I'd look at first: perhaps they want to live near their relatives, who look like them, or they might only be able to afford a certain neighborhood, which when combined with race-class correlations reinforces segregation. Or there could be inertia from a past time when explicit preferences existed.

Explicit desire to live near a certain % of same skin color is really not the first hypothesis I'd reach for. And even if it is true, is it hard to see how segregation would result from this?
I've never really played around with IRC, but I've definitely had the experience the author talks about with Matrix. The server (like mentioned about IRC) is complicated, but interfacing with it as a user or a bot is mostly a few REST endpoints. I've started using Matrix as my go-to interface for new projects. You get IO for free, plus auth, user accounts, and multi-device; leaving just the fun stuff.
I care that VS Code is non-native. Don't you dare move an open file around the file system outside of VS Code, less it thinks it's been deleted. And it still doesn't have the standard macOS file operations available in the window titlebar.

Those are hardware dependent platform devices. Qualcomm didn’t have another option. (Nor do other manufacturers really)

On x86, a virtual PCIe bus abstraction is heavily used, which is not the case for those SoCs.

(And well, if Linux wants to boycott full support of their SoCs, their choice. They just can’t blame Qualcomm anymore at that point.)

Another thing of note is the use of a PEP (power management plug-in) in the OS instead of having power management done in AML. The ACPI spec allows a manufacturer to do this. It isn’t used only by Qualcomm, but is totally unsupported on Linux today.
All their citations have to do with skin penetration. The one that even mentioned the cornea only did so in reference the amount of UVC reaching the lens. These authors make claims which, while possibly true, are not found in their cited literature. For example, they say far UVC cannot penetrate the tear layer. Their citation doesn't say that. The citation says it's unlikely to damage human cells between 10 and 25 micrometers in diameter. The tear layer averages three micrometers in thickness, and it does not contain the absorptive proteins responsible for the shallow flesh penetration depth. This is shoddy science.

Chronic exposure to 240nm light causes keratopathies. 222nm is not 240nm of course but I would demand a better study before I agreed to 40+ hours a week of exposure to far-UVC.
I don't think they're proposing their implementation is sufficient. ChaCha has a nonce for a reason.
Its bad even for one liners.
If you think this is secure even if you leak private key, why not just disable key checking altogether and just allow anyone to log in if they come from accepted network?
In order to regain Apple as a customer, Intel would actually need to commit to becoming a foundry. The catch is that Intel has tried to become a foundry several times before and failed, and there's no reason to believe this time will be any different. Intel survives off of fat cat margins on silicon by selling premium systems (especially in the server market), and the foundry business model is simply unable to provide those kinds of margins. What would impress me is if Intel starts poaching the key people from foundries that are needed to sell and support the business model internally.

I’m pretty sure this is only working if your other party has an Android - and effectively is doing the same thing, perhaps with RCS, that iMessage is doing.

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

Words per minute is a poor metric for judging your reading. Information density per word varies greatly, and if the information is new to you, it will take much more time.

But why judge you reading ability at all? It takes the time it takes. While there are ways to speed it up a bit, the inescapble question is, what is worth reading during our short lives?

The NFT principle only applies when content consumers value maintaining a chain of ownership to content authors. In cases where a clear chain of provenance is more of a liability than an asset, it's probably more desirable to forge a new copy for resale and shred the original.

I suspect this is perhaps a part of why OpenSea maintains a lens over all wallet content requests... the impact of a mass mailing of evil bits to wallets would be devastating to the platform, perhaps to the entire crypto ecosystem. Any corporation who wants to be seen as legitimate must have the capability to keep evil bits out of users eyes.
I've been forced to use Slack for the past 5 or 6 years in my professional life and I despise it. It gives me absolutely no ability to customize or automate my workflow without my employer giving me the keys to the kingdom, which they rightly won't do. Slack's service is where the value is. The client is only a means to an end. And yet they guard it with such zeal, threatening those who develop augments or alternatives.

I have the skills. Just let me automate my own machine without making me have to fight you tooth and nail!

>1. Just read A LOT. There is no way around it. If you push yourself to do this, eventually your mind will figure out a way.

Part of what slows people down reading scientific papers is akin to that person's absorptive capacity. When you start reading something, you come in with a host of prior knowledge: terms, phrases, principles, etc that you know and understand. The more of these things you have when reading relevant to the piece you're reading, the more quickly you can read, digest, critize, etc.

I've read this particular GFS paper a long time ago and this is a domain I can read through fairly rapidly (pro tip: read the abstract and conclusions first to make sure it's worth your time to read the meat of the paper given academic incentives to publish anything anymore).

I've worked with some medical professionals doing work on partial arthroplasty related techniques (adding 3D volume reconstructive techniques) and the paper took me forever to get through and contribute to because like you, every paragraph was me looking up medical terminology and trying to incorporate that into my baseline knowledge. My absorptive capacity was very low in that context.

In general, the more generalized scientific knowledge you have, the easier it is to pickup and read these papers quickly (if they've been written for a general scientific audience). If they're CS papers, clearly CS foundations help (theory, nomenclature, current and past popular trends, etc.).
