I have MS and my first relapse was a pretty textbook case of transverse myelitis of the sort that the EBV can cause.

I know some people have been asking about why that might be the case when a ton of people have EBV, and I think the causality may go the other way: Those of us with something wrong are more likely to both have EBV complications and MS.

There are other viruses like this as well (ones that most people get/have but aren't dangerous). I was on one medication where I needed to be tested monthly because if I got one particular (normally harmless) virus, the suppression caused by the medication meant I would probably die.

There's pretty clearly some sort of relation between the state of one's immune system + how it deals with 'benign' viruses + auto-immunity, and I'm excited to see what the future holds, but for now it's a cool confirmation of something a lot of MSers have talked about amongst ourselves for a while.

This would be exactly the kind of innovation we would need in computer science. Instead we often get stuck in local minima (in this case a 40-year old POSIX interface) without realizing how much pain this causes.

Exactly. If nothing else, a request for support has a chance of being an indication that there's somebody else in the field that cares about some aspect of the problem. I might not act on it, but it is good to have some other human-generated signal that says "look over there."

Similar for me. Even though I had already been programming on my own, my first school-led programming classes were with done with Logo, then Apple Basic, then Pascal, always used to build specific and simple programs. I never had an intro class start with types.
How do you implement lockless atomic updates for multiple writers across multiple threads & processes without mmap?

With mmap it is straight forward for processes to open persistent arrays of atomics as a file, and use compare and exchange operations to prevent data races when multiple threads or processes update the same page without any file locks, advisory locks, or mutexes.

With manual read() and write() calls, the data may be overwritten by another writer before the update is committed.
It's much simpler, though. You get aggregate stats on who is sending you requests, which is useful but not what people have come to expect from "product oriented analytics."

You are correct to an extent, but there are a few things yo noted.

* you can use madvise() to give some useful hints

You made the smart choice. In a political environment where purchasing power is constantly being eroded, the only option is to stay ahead or on top of the wave by keeping assets invested and investing in new cash flow producing ventures.

A non COLA adjusted defined benefit just means you will continuously lose purchasing power, and even the COLA adjustments are subject to understatement due to political influences. Even Social Security is not immune, because at the end of the day, a smaller proportion of labor suppliers to labor buyers means less supply of labor per buyer, which means it has to get rationed somehow (for whatever amount does not get offset by automation/immigration).
> Skilled trades pay better than most bachelor's degree track jobs

To me this is just a sign that the market is working correctly. The world needs more forklift drivers, plumbers, electricians, and mechanics than it needs teachers. The idea that teachers deserve to be paid more is elitist, IMHO. The problem is that our culture incorrectly assumes college degrees are the only way to “learn” productive and valuable skills.
It's not a personal attack to say it's weird to call removing something, I quote: "not to remove actively harmful "balls"". If calling this weird is against HN rules, I don't want to be here in that case.

This is really only about you googling for stories that coal use in Germany went up, reading half the headline and not realizing it's not saying what you want it to say, and that coal is in fact drastically down. To call yourself understanding in that case is, uh... So now I am faced with a living breathing example of backfire effect, which is potentially annoying, but not really as the bottom line is this: last year renewables almost 300GW of new capacity, nuclear roughly 0GW (I did not actually check the numbers, but am pretty confident it's almost 0 since it almost always is). To quote Amory Lovins: "it's game over".
Not saying you're wrong, but considering the societal disruption of people (anyone, including people that the society would like to keep around for one reason or another) caused by people checking out because of their definition of decreased quality of life. It's not just about whether the doctors think that your meat sack is gonna fail critically in the next 6 months (one criteria for assisted suicide) but whether you like what you see when you wake up and look around each day. If it's not fun any more, it will become harder to sell the idea of sticking around.

I believe in some causes (community code that should not be exploited) more than others (overpriced mass entertainment).

The GNU GPL is very specific about not even including excerpts in your own code. Whoever uses Copilot violates it without even knowing.
I agree with this, and I think that overall the Chesterton's Fence principle should be applied more in software engineering.

What's hard is finding a set of "thoroughly modern" ASN.1 implementations that work together, and trusting that they will do so. The name is overloaded by the years of revisions and cruft.

Software Without Compromise
I'm a huge fan of Nature of Code and I agree that it's a wonderful book, but I don't think it's a book for people who are beginners (i.e. they're learning how to code). Daniel Shiffman has a ton of resources which are better suited for people who want to learn how to code - Learning Processing, the Coding Train channel, etc.

Motivation is the primary hurdle when teaching folks how to code. Having a goal to accomplish keeps them motivated, especially if there's feedback early - games, robots are good starting points.
The agreement can be voided.
Also part of bureaucracy is cronyism. There's a lot of big contractors working for and with the NRC who might not like any new competition.

There are plenty of girls in STEM fields such as medicine, biology, geology, physics, Math, civil engineering...

The fact that not a lot of them want to be forced to sit before a computer 10 hours a day for the rest of their lives certainly isn't an issue if you asks me...

For context, most commercial airline pilots use autoland infrequently, around 1% to 2% of landings, or less. However, during low visibility conditions (fog), autoland is sometimes mandatory to be able to land at all.

In manual landings, I could expect that radio altimeter interference can still disturb the altitude callouts and terrain warnings.
> Basically ASN.1 wasn't well defined and it only works well when people agreed to only use certain features or to interpret things in a particular way when ambiguous.

ASN.1 has always been as-well- or better-defined than its competition. The ITU-T specs for it are a thing of beauty not often equaled outside the ITU-T.

That said, for a long time the ASN.1 specs were non-free, and that hurt a lot. Also, the BER family of encoding rules stunted development of open source tooling for ASN.1.

It’s hard to argue that companies should be forced to allow things they don’t want on their platforms

Yes, because the concept of free speech has never implied that you're entitled to have other entities hear or repeat your speech nor is there any principle that compels someone else to listen to or repeat what you're saying. If you want that to be the case, that's certainly your prerogative, but that's a different concept from any mainstream definition of free speech I've come across.
> Lots of ideas were mooted and abandoned in that transcript

Thanks for clarifying.
I understand it fine. Like I said, it’s really not that hard to write pretty good code for prototypes. I'm not saying the code needs to be architected for scale or performance or whatever else needless expectation. I don't have a formal education in programming or computer science and write clean code just fine, as do some other non-computer science people I've worked with in advanced R&D contexts. And then some (many?) don't. It's not really about educational background, it's more about just being organized. Even when someone is "just" doing science, a lot of times, the code explicitly defines what's going on and has major impacts on the results. (Not to mention that plenty of people with computer science backgrounds write horrible code.)

If code is a large part of your scientific work, then it's just as important as someone who does optics keeping their optics table organized and designed well. If one is embarrassed by that, then too bad. Embarrassment is how we learn.

Lastly, you're describing problems with the academic world as if they are excuses. They're reasons but most people know the academic world is not perfect, especially with what is prioritized and essentially gamified.

Hopefully this will be permanent.
I've attempted to teach multiple family members/friends over the years "how to code", and they give up almost immediately. They "just don't get it", and I'd argue one needs to seriously find enjoyment in building things, and knowing how long things can take, to get started.
Yeah, I came here to check that. I was browsing r/nba and between threads started getting a 403. I checked a different device and got the same thing. Checked a phone not on my network and it worked. Tried a different browser on my initial computer and _that_ works, but my main Firefox instance is still showing "Blocked".

That is a great question.

I doubt Europe was out of the loop, but nothing more is clear.

They could be a bystander only informed of things (which brings up your questions).

They could be letting/making the US lead for their own reasons. The following come to mind: they don't want to be seen as in charge - the US is drawing any negative attention. They can't agree on leaders and the US is better than "the other country". They want to make the US look good for reasons.

Russia could be giving all credit to the US for various reasons.

I have no idea what the truth is. It might be one of the above, it might not (my guess).
The world without §230 offers two possibilities: no moderation (with all the ills that brings), or moderation tuned to have a 0% false negative rate--and as a result a rather high false positive rate. Most likely, social media companies will choose the latter over the former. And given that about half [1] the people who complain about the current state of moderation think it's too heavy-handed, I think they'll be even less thrilled than they are now to have false positive rates skyrocket.

[1] I suspect it's actually a fair bit more than half, given the semi-frequent occurrences of cases like this article that no one really wants to defend.
I think people really over-estimate the qualifications of these gangs. What made them successful was never their skills - it was their jurisdictional immunity.

They believed that as long as they did not target Russia (or CIS countries), that the Russians would not crack down.

For those most highly skilled IT folks, the income difference between a legitimate cybersecurity job and ransomeware engineer, is not enough to justify the risk.

I have an old Dell with a 32-bit 2.33 Ghz T2700. Linux fully supports the GPU, and no issues with missing 32-bit packages on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. It's a spare browsing / retro gaming machine hooked up to the TV in the guest room. For gaming, it runs everything from arcade MAME to Mario Kart 64 like a champ. For browsing, it's not speedy but not bad on heavy HTML sites like gmail/youtube.

I agree antiX was a poor choice. No issue with PAE kernel on Tumbleweed i686. If OpenSUSE ever drops x86 support, there's always Debian or Arch 32 (if I want to stick with a rolling distro).
Using standard firefox with container tabs and ublock origin, I cannot visit reddit logged in or out, or with or without ublock disabled in any combination.

This is true, but it's still much rarer for cases to be genuinely mixed. If you do see a 6-3 decision, it's nearly certain to be along party/ideological lines.

It's remarkable that this was a 5-4 decision against the conservative justices. The vast majority of 5-4 decisions will be a single conservative justice siding with the liberal justices.

When a case is nonpartisan, they will have a lot of unanimity, and a small number of dissents from it. But when the case is partisan -- and a fair number of them are -- they will fall along partisan lines. There just aren't that many cases of serious but non-partisan disagreement.

It would be nice if everybody would publish code for their papers. But in a field where most people don't do it, releasing your code will probably not be beneficial for you due to the loss of the competitive advantage. I know for people with cs background this sounds weird but it is reality n academia.

In your position, I would only release code which is not too hard to reproduce anyway or which only provides negligible competitive advantage for you.
I mainly have "normal" paper in mind (experiments or data analysis) - if the main contribution is, for example, an algorithm which you want people to use, the you should publish an implementation obviously.
It might have some thing to do with lower popularity of the QtCreator editor. VS Code is just very popular even for non-Nim.
>entered the capitol with their guns

Correct me if I'm wrong, but nobody entered the Capitol with guns. I'm aware that sounds like downplaying the incident, which is not my intention. I just think accuracy matters.

The guy you're referring to (who was thankfully charged), did not enter the Capitol with a gun, according to the charging document. What gave you the idea that he entered the Capitol with a gun, the charging document is pretty clear?

>the main different here is that I don't recall there being a systemic effort to defend him and explain that it's really no big deal.

The effort was just to blame Trump's rhetoric for that guys actions. Which, Trump's rhetoric was less than helpful to say the least, but that was a poor excuse for trying to murder a bunch of congresspeople.

Alas, this is the problem with demanding accuracy. If someone says something false about a bad person or incident, we are unable to ask for accuracy unless we are willing to be seen as defending it.
