I'd certainly consider buying a stolen/black market/grey market EpiPen at $300 if I needed one and the alternative cost $3000. The shelf life is 13-18 months, so that's a recurring cost, and I'd like to have more than one (perhaps carry one on my person and store one safely at home). I'd look for factory-sealed, tamper-evident packaging.

I'm privileged to be able to even consider spending the $3000 (I don't have severe allergies, so haven't actually made this decision). It's not at all ridiculous that someone on a tighter budget would make the same decision if it was $30 vs $300, and might make compromises on the QA. And "just go to the ER" doesn't cut it: regardless of the cost, that could take hours, while you may only have minutes to spare in the case of anaphylactic shock. You take the injection AND go straight to the ER, it's not an either-or thing.
And yet, you know that isn't the point and are just trying to have the last word.

> One can argue that almost all restrictions during the pandemic had to be based on very shaky science because there simply isn't time to first await the science and then make the decision. And there are surely a lot of restrictions that are much worse to have, than vaccine mandate for immigration. Shutting down schools or banning gatherings, for example.

That's my point. People are basing a witch-hunt on unscientific thinking in 2021 on arguments that are not based on solid science. It does not look good and I think that historians will talk a lot about that.
Depends on the language. Debugger support is extremely poor in Rust for example, so most people (in my anecdotal experience) just use print statements.

That is crazy to me. Could you at least link PayPal to an account which you do not leave funds in?
I had a CC lock my account once when I went on a trip to several places in a quick amount of time. I called them and worked it out. Their algos thought it was someone had stolen my card.

Now, before I go on vacation or make a large purchase, I call them and tell them what I'm going to do. I've never had a problem since doing that and it's a very quick call, actually.

I wonder if anyone has tried same with PayPal.
Wait..... There are people who don't use debuggers that are readily available for compiled languages?
I am surprised to find in these comments that using the debugger routinely and by default isn't a popular idea. I couldn't do my job as well as I do without having the reflex to use the debugger. I shouldn't be surprised though, the last time I watched a coworker roll his face on the keyboard trying to debug something the conversation went something like:

- Me: Just use the debugger...
- Him: But it's hard and annoying to use the debugger
- Me: It's hard and annoying not having the skills or reflex to use the debugger by default
- Him: ... ok I agree ... continues rolling face on the keyboard and add print statements everywhere

I think much of the sentiment in these comments is sounding like "that's not how I work so I will defend myself". Just learn how to use your debugger and integrate it into your work flow. You don't need a special IDE to use a debugger in most languages if that's the perceived problem.

Yes, pretty much like that. The author put "unsafe" blocks everywhere and the rest is history. Unsafe as a keyword is a kind of pledge: as a dev, you swear to the compiler that you've checked this part for correctness/safety. If you don't, you may get bitten, but the simple fact that "grep -R unsafe" will yield most (if not all) instances of potential memory fuckups is a huge win for auditability.

> But would people actually be willing to pay

Of course they wouldn't pay as much as they currently do. But the world would be a better place, if they didn't. In Google's case it's more indirect, but in Facebook's case it's obvious. It's well known that Facebook has a negative impact on the mental health of many. Most of the turnover created created just ruins the planet for no good. People in the Western world lived a reasonable life in let's say 1970. The same level produced with the technology of 2020
would reduce destruction of the planet a lot. We would all work 6 hours a day and in the free time we could could walk an hour to the office and an hour back. Or do something else good for physical and mental health. Without a cloud-based GPS tracker and activity cam of course because normal mortals couldn't afford those. So what? I don't see how surveillance capitalism has improved or will improve the situation in Africa either.
Oh.. Its Static. All the "hacked" targets are pre-coded into the javascript
There’s good recent progress in that Matroska (mkv) can now contain Dolby Vision metadata. There’s also progress with public tools that can process some of this metadata and convert between Dolby Vision profiles, say from profile 5 (hardcoded bitstream) to profile 8 (enhancement bitstream) so that you can have HDR10 fallback for scenarios where Dolby Vision won’t work.

Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be any PC playback progress yet. However in addition to the Nvidia Shield there are Chinese devices like the Zidoo Z9X [1] which show that the work can be done. The PC space is still waiting for a champion though.

I was involved in building an automated drug research lab a few years ago. Part of that was having in-silico simulation of chemical structures. Obviously there was quite a bit of "oh that means we can rapidly return results to customers without incurring the overhead of actually running the tests right? Great for our bottom line"

The answer was obviously no, at some point we still need to run actual tests. Without that we just have a proposition of what might happen. And the longer we leave running actual tests to feed back into the models the more "out of sync" with reality we risk becoming.

I think thats key to where this article just misses the real world situation. We're heading towards an environment where we can rapidly make propositions of outcomes for a hypothesis based on what we already know to help remove low % avenues and focus in on opportunities. Hypothesise and test still need to happen, but hopefully the predict phase will mean researchers hit dead-ends less often and earlier and can move to other avenues quicker and with fewer resources wasted.
> In the asn1 readme, and in some comments in these threads you mention the perils of the tag-length-value scheme, but you never seemed to explain whats wrong with it?

Not OP, but one of the challenges is that definite-length encodings like DER have to be encoded in a non-intuitive way. Values must be encoded prior to lengths (because the length is unknown), and the values can be nested. Therefore you have to encode a message essentially backwards when using definite-length encodings. This can potentially require a great deal of memory and can increase latency because streaming the data is hard.

Indefinite lengths (BER has this option, CER requires it) can help avoid this problem, but then you lose the benefit of skipping elements (which you allude to in your next paragraph).

> Do you feel that the same doesn't apply to serialisation formats? How are the non-tlv binaries encoded then? Just implied offsets according to the schema? Can you then evolve the schema at all, or do you feel that both producer and consumer should have always access to the full schema, and flexiblity here is a non-feature?

You've hit the tradeoffs pretty well in the question, I think. The nice thing about TLV is that you can decode without a schema and potentially work with the contents: it's a relatively simple format to decode and validate even if it's not necessarily great for the encoder.

ASN.1 supports schema-informed packed encodings that place greater demands on both the encoder and decoder. The main advantage is that they greatly reduce message overhead, but it requires a lot of bit-twiddling for presence/absence, default values, and, in unaligned variants, everything else, too. It's impossible, generally, to decode everything without the schema. PER has rules that disambiguate the values (e.g., they have to be ordered in a particular way, so you know what's coming next), and this mitigates some of the problems of TLV-style encodings.

The tradeoffs are worth it when your pipes are small. 3GPP and LTE messages are largely encoded in PER. The people playing in that world usually have plenty of money to spend on commercial solutions and have bandwidth to roll their own, too. That's a bit different than smaller shops who are looking for convenient automated serialization formats.

Really nice article. I don't understand why debuggers need defending to be honest, seems to be a new cool kids thing. Sure, logging should never be neglected just because you can see the program state while debugging.

I use them in my normal programming workflow. It can also be useful to analyze runtime behavior in a multi-threaded environment if you have the ability to stop threads and pause their execution. Wouldn't be the first time I found bugs through that. And even the simplest debuggers give you insight, but be aware they they do modify runtime behavior, especially if your program communicates with any periphery or general input/output.
Some work has been done. I seem to recall that painting the turbine blades to create a visible flicker helped keep birds away. I am sure some studies are ongoing.

Ask HN: Experiences w “JS-free” front ends? (Hotwire, Unpoly, Inertia.js, htmlx)
I'm intrigued by solutions to build interactive frontends using as little (or no) JS possible.

I've read from people here saying they had great productivity gains and simplicity using these options.

There are many options though with quite a bit of differences and I wanted to hear from people who have evaluated some of them and what they settled on.
Ask HN: Should I publish my research code?
I'm looking for advice om whether I should publish my research code? The paper itself is enough to reproduce all the results. However, the implementation can easily take two months of work to get it right.

In my field many scientists tend to not publish the code nor the data. They would mostly write a note that code and data are available upon request.

I can see the pros of publishing the code as it's obviously better for open science and it makes the manuscript more solid and easier for anyone trying to replicate the work.

But on the other hand it's substantially more work to clean and organize the code for publishing, it will increase the surface for nitpicking and criticism (e.g. coding style, etc). Besides, many scientists look at code as a competitive advantage so in this case publishing the code will be removing the competitive advantage.

>Defects is a metric businesses doesn't care much about.

This depends on both the defect and the business. Just because critical regressions and recurring denial of service has become normalized as somehow par for the course in our line of business does not mean it comes without cost. It's all situational and subject to calculated tradeoffs but every shop i've worked with/in has classes of defects on the "Never Again" list, and sometimes on the "NEVER EVER EVER AT ANY COST" list.

>Having a house and children as soon as possible isn't a win. It's what happens when you lack imagination. There's so much more to life than pumping out kids at 21 in your 3/2 in fly over country.

Really??

Just as a counter-example, if you have your kids in your young 20s, then they are out of your house when you hit your mid 40s.

In your mid-40s, you tend to have much more money and a much better sense of what you want out of life.

So assuming you have children at some point, when is the best time to be child-free, in your 20s or in your 40s?

And what about the joy of grandchildren?

When society tells you to wait until you are 35 to have kids, how is having kids at 21 "lacking imagination"? Going against the crowd requires imagination.
I have trouble with the escalation of demands being made on social media.

Initially the titles talked about banning "insider trading", despite them not legally being insiders (which is a very specific legal term which refers to company employees/agents which specific non-public corporate information).

The the titles talk about banning "day-trading", which is trading in-out of stocks multiple times per day. They are almost certainly NOT doing that.

...now you're saying they cannot even have any stock ownership - which would imply they cannot have a 401k or 529 for their kids (because those invest in funds) - or even a vanilla money-market savings account at any bank.

Taking this logic further, they shouldn't be allowed to own any financial assets - bonds, real estate, etc...

These arguments have lost touch with reality.
But even a 20GB file? Streams are much more compressed, but I found files >20GB or so to be pretty much the same quality.

Which doesn't really matter though, you can also find 40GB files of most movies, they should (if encoded well) definitely match the quality.
Copyright is next to impossible to enforce. Especially so since the majority people don't respect it in its current from, and the entertainment industry abuses it.

Laws that protect physical property and condemn violence are universally accepted and thus thoroughly enforced. If you see someone breaking into someone's house, you'd probably call the cops on them. If you see someone torrent a movie, you'd probably accept that as a perfectly normal thing to do, maybe a bit immoral, but definitely not worthy of real punishment.

And a law that isn't enforced is just a bunch of letters.

> Otherwise they just double down on DRM to ensure that they are the true owners of any devices those bits cross.

Any DRM system is by definition vulnerable to data extraction because the data has to eventually be presented in a form that can be perceived by a human. Even if you presume that the system is absolutely tight and you can't extract the raw stream without millions of dollars worth of equipment, there's always the "analog hole". And it only takes one recovered HDCP key to break the entire system.
With my bank I explicitly have to announce in advance if I am going to use my card abroad and can enter specific dates and times online. It's quite easy to do. You can also call if you forgot but then you will have to go online and add days if you want to use it for more than one/a few if I recall correctly.
I wouldn't say MS is contagious. It is an autoimmune disease, but EBV is a putative risk factor. The paper notes that people are diagnosed with MS 5-10 years after the EBV initial infection, so would not be contagious from either an EBV or MS point of view.

I think around 95% of the population will get EBV at some point in their lives. I'd be very curious to know how a vaccine would impact public health, but I am cautious about it - I suppose there may be some possible positive effects of the virus given humans have probably co-evolved with it.
I agree.

Here is the thing, if COVID is like the flu even with heavy measures to prevent the spread, what would it be like it we just didn't bother with restrictions? Seasonal influenza is not as lethal as COVID and hospitals stress to accommodate it. COVID is being controlled world-wide and still hospitals face the potential of being rapidly overwhelmed. The deeds you are looking for are all around you, from vaccines to masks, limited capacity venues, rapid tests, and so on.

None of your sources talk about hospitals being "designed" to run at full capacity for profit. Canadian, UK, and most other EU hospitals don't run for profit, so that leaves the US. I doubt you'll find a medical director that claims the way to maximize profit is to design a hospital that is on the edge of meltdown every flu season.

If every company has a certain chance of selling out every year, then by the time you get old most companies you grew up with will make bad products.

That's a pattern that happens with everything, and it's the one of the reasons why being loyal to brands is bad. There are a lot of newer studios that make non-predatory games that you should give a chance over the ones you played a decade ago.
