In the 80's and 90's I worked for/on companies/teams that had female devs. >4 times. Computing (at least the parts I observed) didn't seem especially hostile to women. I distinctly recall the sense that women just made the team nicer, more complete, and we'd better not screw that up.

Having lived through it, it's clear to me that something changed for the worse between then and now. Tech bros, gamer aggression, greed, competition, eternal September, I don't know. But it changed.

How would they know to use the antibodies if they didn't test people first? The [2] article you linked refer to vaccines not tests. I think you're missing something in your explanation here.
You'd have needed at least Mozilla and Microsoft to be on-board. The failure mode for a CA is that someone cannot use your site and that's not something you can ignore for serious usage — it took Let's Encrypt years and backing by influential organizations to get established. I like CA Cert, got verified with my passport at Usenix, etc. but still ended up not using it anywhere except some personal servers because life is way too short to walk people through installing a CA, especially with the knowledge that you're training them to be susceptible to attacks.
Somewhat related, last time when I posted about my forums platform[1] that I'm trying to get off the ground, someone here asked if it is open source so they can contribute. Now, I would love for it to be open source and have the community enhance the features (or even clone it for themselves), but I don't know how to set up an open source project. I'm guessing it is more than just zipping up the source files and making it available for download. Any pointers on how best to go about doing it? Any best practices?

Paperless and autopay online is absolutely a benefit to me, I have all of my records in a folder in my email and never forget a payment or make it late.
> Decent example but this is a separate issue than the premise I started with or replied to.

I disagree. The question is, is the the system broken or not? To me, this example suggests that it is indeed broken. Then, did it just break or was it broken all along? Is it possible that we mandated vaccinations to millions of people that were more likely to be harmed than helped by these vaccines? If so, would we know, eventually?

The status quo in the pharma industry is to never do more trials than absolutely necessary, lest you risk discovering something that runs counter to business interest. I suspect a very similar attitude would exist among regulatory bodies that risk discovering that it has been advocating a potentially harmful medical intervention to people that didn't need it.

The only entities that have a vested interest in figuring this out are private health insurances. If these vaccines are worth taking, let them charge a premium for refusal.

I actually agree with you, to the extent that I agree that the sports team metaphor is applicable. It just happens that I don't find sports teams to be a good metaphor for the kinds of teams one usually (IME) finds in the corporate world. But yes, in the specific case where an under-performing individual is hurting the team in a way that is ultimately hurting the other individuals on the team, then it does make more sense to call them out. No disagreement there.
Happy to have helped test this release. Bought a 43" just to mess with all of this on. Has been a fantastic experience. Devs are great and it has been fun seeing what all I can run.
Grammarly is not paying for this. Grammarly is not involved or even concerned in any way. This is not even a "hack" but rather trying to use Grammarly for something it was not designed for, and showing it does not work for that. "Ok, duh, and thank you for your interest in Grammarly..."

The plagiarism check is for self-checking, as in users making sure they did not miss any quotations and references in their work, and thus it does not even attempt to defeat any plagiarism enforcement counter-measures. It's not an enforcement tool.

To package it would defeat the point.

The point is that the software that you're using to manage your computer is simple enough that you can read all of it and understand it -- not that you have to, but you could.

The official method for "extensions" to DWM is in the form of Git patches (https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/). You apply the patch and re-compile. If you had dwm through your package manager, you wouldn't be able to apply any patches, because you would just have the binary.

>Ok so it does have floating then?

What's meant by the quoted text is that you can cycle through all windows on your current workspace, including the floating ones, using only your keyboard. Yes, it does have floating.

edit: I should also say, the real power move for me is that I can just fork the dwm git repo on github, and have my exact desktop configuration available to me 24/7 from anywhere, and I can deploy it on a potato.
>For a brief while after getting vaccinated, before Delta and Omicron, my friends, coworkers, and I felt we were out of the woods. We are actively going out together to our favorite hangouts and being normal. I didn't think we would need this site.

You seem to be describing what journalist Alex Berenson has coined the "happy vaccine valley":

>the three-to four-month period following the second dose when antibodies are high enough that the vaccines actually appear to work. (For those of you keeping score at home, that’s two weeks of negative efficacy after the first shot, a month of maybe 50% efficacy, three months of near-complete protection, and then a rapid fall to what looks like 0% protection within three months. https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/so-you-understand-whats-...

Of course that description was written in Sept 2021 based on pre-Omicron data, and the picture is different now. The latest data: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.01.07.22268919v...

See Figures 1 and 2 above. This study from California in December shows much lower protection from the current vaccines against Omicron compared to Delta: 0% effectiveness of a 2-dose regimen at 6+ months, and 49% effectiveness of a 3-dose regimen at ~2+ months.

There was an article which I ran into thanks to HN a few months ago[1] that served to explain something I experienced at my employer 8(?) years ago: my role was abolished (legislated out of existence by HR and/or Finance); the role was unique to me, and I had held it very successfully for about 8 years at the time, but apparently, if you have a role that isn't found in some HR Dept or Finance Dept (or US Federal Dept of Labor?) book enumerating all jobs, even if engineering management finds it valuable, it will be abolished. I was shuttled off into a series of less aligned roles, and within 1 year, left that employer for a startup.

From the linked article:

Another place the non-fungibility of people causes predictable problems is with how managers operate teams. Managers who want to create effective teams end up fighting the system in order to do so. Non-engineering orgs mostly treat people as fungible, and the finance org at a number of companies I've worked for forces the engineering org to treat people as fungible by requiring the org to budget in terms of headcount. The company, of course, spends money and not "heads", but internal bookkeeping is done in terms of "heads", so $X of budget will be, for some team, translated into something like "three staff-level heads". There's no way to convert that into "two more effective and better-paid staff level heads". If you hire two staff engineers and not a third, the "head" and the associated budget will eventually get moved somewhere else.

One thing I've repeatedly seen is that a hiring manager will want to hire someone who they think will be highly effective or even just someone who has specialized skills and then not be able to hire because the company has translated budget into "heads" at a rate that doesn't allow for hiring some kind of heads. There will be a "comp team" or other group in HR that will object because the comp team has no concept of "an effective engineer" or "a specialty that's hard to hire for"; for a person, role, level, and location defines them and someone who's paid too much for their role and level is therefore a bad hire. If anyone reasonable had power over the process that they were willing to use, this wouldn't happen but, by design, the bureaucracy is set up so that few people have power.

These observations ring completely true to me. I'm a generalist, not a single-purpose actor, but the value that such an actor brings seems to run directly against the bureaucratic compulsion to categorize each employee.

Most of us don't need to hope for the best because leap seconds won't trigger bugs in our applications.

In my work, I deal with dates and times, but a leap second would have no consequence. A negative leap second would be interesting, because database records could appear to have been created out of order (a possible problem for many apps), but my apps wouldn't care.

There are programmers that have to worry about leap seconds, I'm happy I'm not one of them.

I'm not sure about the author, but certain about many commenters here, that popular opinion and scientific standpoint are confused. Being charitable to the author, I feel they are writing about popular opinion, politics and zeitgeist and the sudden change in them - people just suddenly surrendered. Many commenters are defending the changes in scientific position, which is something else altogether - and nowhere near as sudden. With science, as should be, when the data changes, the conclusions change - and in a pandemic, what the response of the people is and is likely to be, is part of the data. The science is solid and sees only small, incremental change, there is no surrender there.
Not at all. You can make them stop saying they're open source and you can get a refund + maybe some damages if you claim to have bought their product based on this false ad, but that's all. In no way are you ever going to convince a judge to order Zendesk to give you their code.
It should be, and I'd argue how it used to be.
Your example is not correct. Insiders in companies are specifically designated people. Top executives and anyone with access to material non-public financial information.

Just being an employee does not make you an "insider". I regularly traded in the company I worked for. I did not have access to any financial information, so it was all based on my hunches of how sales were doing.

There's nothing illegal about that.

Moreover, you are not in violation of insider trading laws just for knowing insider information. You have to have received it from someone you knew was violating their insider status, or compensated them for such. For example, if you overhear someone in a bar talking about their sales numbers, and you trade on that - you are not guilty of insider trading.
Do you use any version control management system like git, svn, or fossil? If not, your first step would likely setting up your project with one of them (most likely git) and then just pushing it to a service like github.
Put your software in a VCS of some kind. Add an appropriate license from https://spdx.org/licenses/ . Make the source available on the internet.

I bumped into this just yesterday, it's sad that the page ranks very high for "open source ticketing" :(
you could start by creating a repository on github and gitlab, they have resources to help you track your source code with git and push your code to your repository. Then now you code is available for everyone to see.

Next, you want to create a readme file so someone new to your project could read it and understand how the code works. You can also start creating issues of features / bugs you plan to do.
That’s not what lower liquidity looks like. The bonds sell just fine, you just have to lower the price to sell it, such that the effective yield matches the market rate.

Lower liquidity would show up as wider bid/ask spreads, which doesn’t happen in that case.

It could be the case that as long as dates are internally consistent (a timestamp for an object created later than another reflects that fact) most systems wont break.

> Why? Because none of these chapters answer the most important question a reader has, the entire time, WHY!? Why is all this important and what problems does it solve? When should I use this thing that I learned?

When I was an undergrad taking an advanced class about probability theory, I asked my professor for help understanding the bigger picture. I could solve each of the problem sets, but I couldn’t see the bigger the picture. Why the hell are we doing this? The professor told me something like “Oh don’t worry, somethings are just impossible to fully understand the first time. Once you take a second and third class that uses these ideas the bigger picture will come together”

I have found this mindset to be incredibly true. Rather than philosophizing about the optimal way to learn to code (or anything) just:

1. read/take a class about the subject

2. use the ideas you learned

3. goto 1

While it seems inefficient, I think it can be a very natural way to learn and avoid all catch-22 situations

Yep, you're right (and edited above to reflect that).

After accounting for that, and after realizing that BLAST only returns the first 100 results, I searched on the "nt" database (where the article found "only" SARS-CoV-2 results) while excluding SARS-CoV-2 (taxid:2697049), "synthetic construct" (taxid:32630), and "other sequences" (taxid:28384). This¹ produced not just a lot of hits, but a lot of exact (i.e. 19/19) hits (mostly various microbes) - further suggesting that even the exact sequence in question ain't unique.

I also ran a search on "nt" strictly on SARS-CoV (i.e. the original SARS virus)², and while no single result completely matches the query, there are a lot of results that could be concatenated/combined to produce the query - and while I'm (again) no geneticist, it doesn't seem to me like some sort of impossibility for that concatenation to happen through mutations in the wild.

How is this only happening now? Do any states already do this?

In the UK we’ve been able to order a box of 7 lateral flow tests, for free (no shipping costs either), once per day, since last April. In other words 49 tests per week (per household). They’re not a perfect solution (since you can test negative when in the very early stages of an infection I believe) but they’re pretty good. They’ve made all of my group interactions so much safer, particularly during this latest wave, and have saved me from hanging out with people who are positive (and asymptomatic at the time) on numerous occasions.

The British government is a joke and they’ve still managed to get basics like rapid testing and vaccinations right. How can a country with resources like the US not have this available?
