The irony is that there are cryptographically verifiable, immutable databases like immudb that are much more efficient, but you would not be able to use them as an asset requiring a steady supply of greater fools, so they are not hyped up with religious fervor like blockchains are.

Blockchains are really the worst technology to build anything on, and the only reason Web3 is being pushed is to recruit more fools willing to throw USD into a black hole that also consumes a lot of electricity.

Disappointing. Innovation awaits, like a verifiable, privacy-preserving database would change the world, we would not have to trust the server if it would exist, and it would curb industrial espionage and mass surveillance. But no, blockchains it is because the 5% is not rich enough.
Ageism is weird because yeah age is an inherent thing that you can't change at will. So it's kinda like race. But unlike race, age actually changes, at a rate of 24h/day. So being discriminated for being "too young" will pass and you will suddenly be allowed to drive! Yay! But not being allowed to drive because you're "too old" is permanent. Bye!

62X seems like a lot. It makes me wonder if someone has put serious effort into profiling and optimizing the JavaScript version. If not, that could be a better use of time than a port. I'd guess the TypeScript team may not be interested in maintaining a Go version, so this port will will always be behind the current TypeScript definition.

I am absolutely blown away at how good TypeScript's type checker is, given how much of an unholy mess JavaScript is, and that the TypeScript language cannot just deprecate all the awful parts.

More than once I've yelled at my screen, "HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS?!" about some inferred or narrowed type.

You would think that if something says non-toxic, licking it shouldn't kill you, but apparently not.

> I have known more people whose lives have been ruined by getting a Ph.D. in physics than by drugs.

Ruined, really? Like living on the street ruined? Anyone with a PhD in Physics has opportunities. They might not be able to get a tenure track job in a Physics department, but there are many, many other opportunities, even in academia. For example, several of the best oceanographers I've worked with are Physics PhDs.
It’s already proven (esbuild, SWC, Bun) to drastically improve performance of TypeScript’s other responsibility: compilation (tsc doesn’t offer an option for this, but ts-node does, for comparison). And while the type checker is certainly more complex, I have a hard time imagining it won’t show similar improvements in a native language.

It doesn't.

The refrain that Omicron is "mild" is being parroted by people who don't understand what they are talking about. In fact, the Omicron variant (like other COVID variants) is relatively mild among individuals who have been vaccinated.

That hasn't stopped the vast majority of folks yeeting themselves off a dunning-kruger cliff and assuming that they are competent to discuss the topic because they read a medical journal or an opinion piece that aligns well with their own perceptions of COVID and the broad spectrum of economic, political, and medical topics (myself included sometimes).
> I forget what it's called, but there's this phenomenon in immunology where the immune system can get "stuck" with whatever initial antibodies it comes up with and doesn't adapt well.

It's called original antigenic sin[0]. It's one of the reasons that mass vaccination against a variant that is no longer circulating may not be the wisest strategy. But anyone who dares mention it is shouted down as anti-vaxx.

It had Twilight Princess which is good enough for me to call it a great launch. Wii Sports was fun too.
My understanding was that the specific requirement was for a launch into polar orbit (southbound from Vandenberg AFB, just north of Los Angeles) and then a landing ~90 minutes later at Vandenberg, clearly to snatch something out of orbit.

Since the earth is rotating under the orbital plane of the shuttle, this requires a large amount of cross-range maneuverability on reentry so it could land back in California rather than ~22.5 degrees west of Vandenberg in the pacific ocean, and this required large wings.

I don't believe it's known for certain outside of classified circles what was to be brought back. One theory was that it was to snatch a Soviet spy satellite out of orbit, but it's entirely possible given the timelines that the classified requirement was to pull a film cartridge from a US spy satellite in polar orbit and return it quickly to earth for processing.

You know what happens when you tell kids/teens not to do something, right?
I guess I feel as if there shouldn't be a choice between having too many wars and a broken academic system? As the pandemic has shown, these issues can have real-life consequences as well.

My experience is that experiences in science can vary tremendously depending on the institution, which in itself is part of the problem. Some institutions and fields are basically as you describe, and people are basically humble, hardworking, and make do sincerely and resourcefully.

Many, many institutions, though, are dysfunctional and corrupt. Increasingly indirect funds are the primary goal in evaluating scientists and scientific contributions, period. I could tell many personal anecdotes about this, from my own experience as well as those of others (as tenured faculty), but it is not an exaggeration to say that the primary motive in many departments, at least in the biomedical sciences, is indirect funds from the federal government. This has been acknowledged as such in commentaries by formal heads of federal funding agencies.

I can explain how this distorts many things, but I have seen these pyramid schemes persist even in the presence of these discussions, without any acknowledgement by programs or colleges. They simply do not care because to do so would cost them indirects.

One thing that's upsetting to me is that the people who are well-situated of course are not harmed. They benefit, and are happy to continue with the status quo because they have thrived under it, and don't have to deal with the consequences in terms of misplaced shame, lost years and salaries, and lost opportunities. It also distorts scientific process, leading to endless discussions of p-values versus Bayesian CIs that don't matter because the problem is hype chasing and monetary incentives.

The thing is, it's not even necessarily about the scientists, many of whom may be very well-meaning as you describe. It's at a higher level, in terms of program and hiring strategy, departmental organization, etc. The people doing well may not even be aware of the fact that for every group of theirs that is doing well, getting along, etc. there are many times more people who weren't allowed in the group, who got in with a bad crowd, who were manipulated or taken advantage of, or so forth.

I often get this sense that the counterarguments go something like this: "well, science is still making a lot of progress" and "good people are getting along fine" which has this Machiavellian flavor to it. The question isn't whether or not progress is being made, it's how much better could things be if they were different?

I'm also not saying funding shouldn't be increased, I'm just saying that there have to be serious structural changes to go along with it as well, otherwise we're going to end up with the same problems at a bigger scale.

Thanks for the feedback.

The payload includes icon's and SVG data that I am slowly removing to lower it's size. The entire app is all in the one block.

History management the back button was added on request and based on mobile usage, it should be fine with the default browser button but I will take a look.

The links I totally get, as everything is generated as it's needed that can be changed over and I will take a look at that.

The time is based on the servers time as clients can be all over the place and I am not tracking where users are and timezones, I have never seen times jump all over the place so I will take a look as the timestamp is provided in the same request as the data so it should be updated as the content is loaded.

The inputs are sanitized and rendered as HTML characters, it just appears to be a bug with the render back as regular characters on edit so that users don't see the HTML characters in the text input, but that would be only on the user who made the content that it would do anything, but I will add rules to remove that type of tag server side also. For example what you gave turns into.

&#60;script&#62;alert(1);&#60;/script&#62;

It just turns back to normal characters when you bring it up to edit the input as the one who set it.

I will use all this and make some changes, the links where not on mind mostly to the expectation it would mostly be used in an app capacity.

Plenty of non-immigrants (won't even dignify that with a label like Americans, because immigrants can become Americans too) spank their kids or hit their wives etc....

I think your fears are real, but I also think it's important to be careful with your examples :)
A lot of the deaths occurring right now are still from patients that were infected by the Delta variant weeks ago.

Preliminary research indicates that Omicron has an 87% lower fatality rate. Of course that number is a little fuzzy because it's impossible to perform a real controlled experiment.

We see this with engineers of all ages, but especially with new grads. All have just spent 16 to 22 years working under a model where: you get an assignment, you come up with a solution, you are marked on your result, and then you move on…

Our education has trained us that involving others is something done at the end.

A lot of our new hires need help shifting their approach (and getting over insecurities) to consider that all their products need iterative review well before the work is complete.
Or simply supporting local repair shops: it might require some special tools or equipment but if the phone store in every mall can have that, it's a lot more accessible than if you need to pay top dollar and/or not have the device for a few days.
Just one country as an example: The US lost 15K people last week to Omicron. 150K people hospitalized, 25K in the ICU. That's nowhere close to "mild to non-existent" compared to a vaccine.
Problem is those millions will still be using Google Services, just on a new phone paid by themselves.
If you are challenging my view as being selective I think that could be fair (if provided some statistics to combat my finger in the air analysis). I live in the UK which (was) one of the more developed members of the EU, so that probably does bias my view, and I have not visited the poorest members of the EU.

Even with this caveat, there is a difference in principle that I believe distinguishes the way of life for the less wealthy in the US compared to most of the EU. A big part of US culture seems to be something along the lines of "everyone for themselves", and "paying your own way", which neglects those not blessed with opportunity and seems to encourages larger wealth disparity. I do not believe most of the governments of the EU share this principle, but I welcome counter examples. That said, it's also not black and white: even the US borrows socialist tools to equalise such disparities where it's been proven to work best, such as public schools and libraries.
This is absolutely true but entirely uninformative in this context. It's also a bit hilarious as it reinforces GP's suggestion that you can't involve or invoke SpaceX without a breathless-sounding shower of accolades stealing the show from the main payload / mission.

>a horrible manufacturer application that only runs on Windows

Shit like this plus the lack of S3 sleep, is why my laptop is still on Windows 11 instead of Linux. As horrible as the Lenovo vantage app is, it allows me to configure the TDP of the Ryzen CPU and fan profile of the device plus enable battery conservation mode where it keeps the battery charged to 50-60% while plugged in to reduce wear. On Linux I have no easy way to control these features my Laptop has except some obscure scripts from various reddit and forum posts and github repos that were written to work on some Lenovo machines. No bueno.
The `conformance` suite is the "set of tests people added when a feature was first released", usually without the decade of following regression tests in the `compiler` suite. In TS itself, the `conformance` and `compiler` suite are considered the part of the same unit most of the time. (The compiler suite, however, is not helpfully subdivided by feature, since it oft deals with cross-cutting concerns!)
Are you advocating for calling vaccination "natural immunity"? That's a pretty big change in the messaging to date.

For simple sharing without giving it away, what about a RotN where N starts at an arbitrary value (13, for example) but increments for each successive character?

ALPHA

This way, repeats become opaque. Seems clear enough to share in the clear where _breaking_ the cipher isn't a big concern, just immediately recognizing the answer or patterns in it, is.
> If a tracker is detected at least 3 times and the locations have changed (to make sure its not your neighbour) the app sends you a notification.

I'd like for it to report the stationary trackers as well. A ping from my neighbour is one thing, even a ping from a grocery store. But if I saw a repeated ping from an unremarkable street corner, I'm going to be suspicious. Even more so if there are multiple street corners.

I like this though,

I am part of this resignation wave, and quit (retired?) last spring with no intention of going back to work. I managed to do this in my 30s, but I do feel slight FOMO of people with high paying tech jobs.

Part of me says, am I missing out on my highest earnings years? I'd like to sit on a beach but with a family, most of my days are getting groceries, doing dishes, folding clothes and driving kids around. It's not glamorous but it feels better than work life.

There is an ocean of difference between "it's mild because I am vaccinated" and "it's mild", and the bridge across it is being built on the mental and physical well being of our health care providers around the world.
My experience differs. But maybe because I love to refactor and create a clean architecture.

Also I learned a lot from my boss' refactorings. Before that I never would have imagined how far a good abstraction can be driven.
Actually, now I'm intrigued. It would appear that the total annual death rate in the UK is about 135k/yr or 370/day. So the last couple of weeks of the current Omicron wave exceeds the typical average death rate from all causes from 2010-2018 (scaled for population).

Because it's been life-changing for me, and countless others? It's not just time release; that's the old school drugs like Concerta.

The chief problem I have with all stimulants is too fast of an impulse response. It comes on too fast, crashes too fast. For me, for instant release drugs, I experience the following half-lives:

- methylphenidate: 60-90m

- amphetamine salts/dexedrine: 3-4h

- caffeine: 3h

- modafinil: 6-8h

Once a drug reaches about 1.5 HLs (about one Tau/time constant, conveniently), I start fading hard. There is a hysteresis effect: peaking/crashing/re-dosing is not the same as plateauing at some in-between value. Once my brain checks out, that's kind of it for the day.

So what Concerta, Adderall XR, and similar do for me, is give me what feels like two randomly spaced doses of instant release over a 4-6h window. This is unpredictable and thrashes my mental state. It peaks too high and crashes too low. The companies market these drugs based on averaging the plasma profiles of individuals to show a nice smooth curve, but I dug into the literature and this is NOT what you see on an individual level, at all. Concerta just doesn't do it for me.

Vyvanse is way smoother. The plasma peak is already low-pass filtered by the pharmacokinetics of hydrolysis of the lysdexamphetamine. As a result, my subjective experience is basically a 6h plateau. I split my dose to basically get a nice, actually smooth profile over 8-12h with a gentle taper instead of a crash. That also means lower peak plasma conc, and peak plasma is the greatest risk factor in neurotoxicity.

If you actually dig into the literature on neurotoxicity of amphetamines, you basically don't see any until you start getting to the equivalent of 50-100mg IR, and even then it's basically within the noise floor until you get to hundreds of mg per day.

If you backup to iCloud, you can even walk out with the phone showing a progress bar while it is restoring to the exact state you left the older.
What drove me off of Android was my bank stopped supporting my device because of security updates. When I bought the phone it was a just released LG flagship, I got a full 18 months worth of sporadic at best updates, followed by nothing.

My bank disabled the app on my phone some 4 months later, when some major vulnerability was still unpatched on my phone. They told me to get a new phone, so I picked up an 2016 iPhone SE and went on my way.
> It's funny how the excellent job of the French Ariane launcher is nowhere to be seen in this (and others) article.

That's a huge ask.
If you get rent lower than mortgage and free maintenance then you are not going to get anything fancy for that. You cannot get more without paying more and the vast majority of people would rather buy and pay for their own dwelling than spend double to improve/return somebody else property.

Multiplexes are absolutely not going to allow the modifications to stay: they have the basic appliances because they can maintain them cheaply. Your Whirpool fridge broke? Handyman can pull one from an unoccupied unit or replace with a spare he keeps on hand because it's expected that appliances in 20+ unit building are going to fail regularly. You want a Sub-Zero fridge in your apartment? It only makes sense if you buy one yourself, remove and store the original and then replace it with original when the lease ends. Otherwise the landlord is stuck with servicing a fridge where just a door panel costs more than an entire fridge in other units. Same with everything else.

This has nothing to do with the view on renters but basic economics.
But at least with such a taste left in their mouths, they'll surely not do it.
I have to second this. I worked on a java app which was painful to scale, due to JSF and JPA. I have distanced myself from the project as much as I can.

Now, I see another new app for a different purpose being started and I hoped to push for a modern way of building it, but no they just won't give-up using java and JSF.

Nothing wrong with java, it's just java and jsf crowd is hard to be converted to something else.

Nope, it's not. "bump into them and place a buoy device on their back or a limb using their mouth." I'm quite sure they could bump some one violently. But bump into an elite soldier squad - i.e US Marines - and place a buoy device on their back or limb using their mouth? Lol
