The number of children seriously impacted by long COVID or MIS-C is tiny. Those are not valid reasons to maintain any restrictions in schools.

Everyone will inevitably be exposed to the virus anyway. Whether that exposure occurs in school or somewhere else hardly matters. We can't wrap our children in protective bubbles. At some point they have to exist in the real world with all of it's risks.
Everything related to heat transfer is still relevant and very, very interesting, but I love how dated the assumption of non renewable energy is now in that method of calculating thermal efficiency.

Who cares if the perfect turbine could only ever convert 59% of the wind power through it!
Does Wall Street still care about theoretically monetizable metrics like DAU from Twitter? I would think Wall Street is probably expecting real revenue and profit by now.
How about security?

Any good resources / practices on making your server safe? and maybe not those kernel level tricks

also automated deployment

so I can commit and it'll be deployed on the server

I thought about using GitHub Actions so when I push, then the server receives HTTP Ping and clones repo and setups the app
Correct title should be “Apple removes Python 2.7 from macOS in favor of Python3”
As someone with keen interest in physics (and a bit of training) I find speculation about "discrete space" disquieting. It's the level of abstraction where intuition about space breaks down, and you have to be very careful. Remember that coordinate systems are short-hand for measurement. It's one thing to admit fundamental limits on measurement resolution, and quite another to say that space itself is quantized! Mostly I get around this by not thinking about it; most of these theories are only testable in atrocious and unattainable conditions, doing things like performing delicate QED experiments at the edge of a black hole.

I don't think your "voxel" intuition can be right because it's a small jump from that to (re)introducing an absolute reference frame.
No idea what you could be referring to. I think maybe you're thinking of BC or MC?
> Marin and Santa Cruz have LESS Covid patients and are closer to overflowing than Escambia.

So I went ahead and checked this, and it's wrong.

Escambia's ICU capacity is 87% full, SC's is 90% full (and SC is a bad choice, as they have a total of 21 ICU beds in the county, they use bay area ICU beds for overflow, which are currently sitting at ~80% capacity), and Marin's is....40%. So I'm not sure what data you're looking at, but it seems to just be wrong.

Secondly, no, covid capacity really is the problem, because for the last year and a half, hospitals were reducing non-critical care. That means you have tons of people who need hip replacements or brain surgery or tumor removal who haven't been able to get it. Many of them will need to recover in the ICU a bit, so you'd want a higher baseline ICU use post-elective surgery freeze, as that implies that the "clog" is being recovered from.

If the hospital is still full due to covid patients, those elective surgeries will never get done, leading people who never caught covid to suffer too. So low covid capacity, but higher overall use temporarily means that we're catching up to all the deferred non-covid care, something we really need to do!

The other possibility is that you mean that the 70-80% that ICUs normally run at is somehow problematic (because well like I just said, we did actually "flatten" it by deferring elective ICU recovery for more than a year in many places). The US already has more ICU beds per capita than most nations, even other developed nations, so I'm not sure what your idea here is other than perhaps, "The us population is too unhealthy or is providing too much healthcare", which are both interesting positions to take for sure.
No. It's not that clear.

> If you don't have worms, ivermectin will not help you

This makes sense and is supported by some data.

> COVID outcomes are better without parasites

This dramatically understates interactions in the immune system. I can go into a longer essay, but:

1) Parasites suppress the immune system (they release chemicals to moderate immune response; otherwise, the immune system would destroy them)

2) There is some evidence that the immune system evolved to operate when suppressed by worms. Autoimmune diseases and allergies may be a symptom of worm-free life.

3) Most of the damage from COVID19 comes from the immune system and not the disease (that's true of most diseases, for that matter).

4) ... and so on.

We have absolutely no idea how ivermectin, worms, and COVID interact. It's too complex a system.
and then you use "#!/usr/bin/env bash"
The weird thing to me is that it's not just lower CPU/GPU for OBS, but lower GPU for the game. Maybe just a coincidence, since the CPU fluctuates so much between the two.
Yeah, when I think of a cooker, I think of something that heats something up, not just keeps it going.

The stove with one burner dropped down [1] seems more practical, not requiring a separate device/extra step.

The whole reason GMail gained public traction was because of its advanced spam filtering. Storage was good, but secondary.

Now that everyone is locked in, the anti-spam efforts can be pared back, since nobody gets promoted in Google for doing their job well. Only for inventing a new job to do.

From my experience I would never recommend giving up control of your servers to some third party. Weeks wasted waiting for useless support teams to get back to you on something you could have fixed in 10 minutes if you had root. Opaque configuration issues you can't debug without said useless support team. Needing permission and approval for every little thing on prod. If I was ever at a high level in a company I'd never go farther than some AWS load balancing or whatever on cloud instances we still have root on.
This very thing occurred in PGH with the Greenfield Bridge[0]. This caused significant disruption because the bridge spans a major highway to the eastern suburbs. Of course, the infrastructure issues with that bridge were rather obvious, since chunks of concrete would fall on to the highway (necessitating netting to be installed).

It’s interesting that many things are deterministic to human-relevant time/length scales. If the small stuff is non-deterministic, it’s interesting that large ensembles of them are quite deterministic.

It’s maddening :)

> What is the model for getting out of this bind?

Continuing to acquire and/or drive out of business other players before that happens so that there aren't sufficient competitive opportunities to drive your costs up to unacceptable levels. (It helps if as well as approaching a labor monopsony you are also becoming a monopoly on the services sold from that labor so that you can use the monopoly rents to offset any labor cost increases you don't manage to forestall by destroying other opportunities.)
That quote was literally from Cultural Revolution WP summary, so you may well heed your own advice and read it for once.

My point was that any parallels between that and events in the USA are nothing but disingenuous exaggeration. Consider just how vague your allusions are: without knowing your political views I would be at loss figuring if you allude to the rise of proto-fascist American right or lament the assault of Left woke culture.
This surprises me. My only experience with Pennsylvania was making the mistake of not unchecking "Avoid Tolls" when driving across the state. I got a bill for over $80 for taking the turnpike. That's one way on a single day in a normal passenger vehicle without a trailer. I thought I had been busted by a speed camera or something, because an amount like that is closer to a fine than any toll I've ever paid. I would've thought they used that money for infrastructure.
Yup..

Port forwarding is currently broken if you use dockerd but it will be fixed in the next release or you can run a command to fix it yourself. See https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/12...

It fails to setup some filesystem links because of Unix permissions. You can fix it in command line. See https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/11...

If you put your computer into sleep, the VM time will be out of sync. It's going to be fixed in the next release I believe. It's an old classic bug that happened to me with WSL so it was nice to see it again. https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/83...
I agree that plenty of people who are not developers use those tools but I also don’t think the lift of installing homebrew or macports is going to be too much for people who are already smart enough to run those scripts in the first place. Like you said, it just requires a little pointer, which hopefully people will be happy to provide.

The approval thing is valid, but I feel like that is likely going to be an issue that becomes more and more common as Apple moves to move more and more tools and utilities to the Xcode tools download anyway. Support/approval teams are just going to need to adjust to that reality, even if it’s an annoyance because I don’t see things shifting back, at least with Apple.

But issues of approval aside, I honestly think back of myself as a teenager, installing fink and Macports and figuring it all out as I went along and I wouldn’t have called myself a developer then. I was just a girl who wanted to tinker with stuff.

I think we (and I’m not talking about you specifically but the more general “we” as in the types of people that frequent HN) often underestimate the abilities of our non-dev brethren. We overestimate how much users know too, of course, but I do think we often slot people who have shown that they have the capabilities and desire to solve a problem into a “lesser” box just because they don’t carry the title of developer. And that affects those users too, who then assume they can’t do something when their own track record proves otherwise.
So what? Political neutrality doesn't exist. We all make political decisions every day. Gabs owners and staff intentionally make money off of lies, slander, and in general being dishonest slimeballs. We as individuals actually do have a responsibility to the truth and to prevent political scammers like gab from profiteering off of lies.

Doesn't the fall of the Roman Empire explain it?

At its peak it was a huge unified empire, it should be expected a lot of commerce and knowledge would move freely within its borders. The (slow) fall of the Roman Empire would be like watching the end of civilisation, a dystopian fiction of the survivor-apocalyptic kind.

The following centuries, all the way to our modern age, rulers tried to claim the title of Cæsar (Kaiser, Czar, ...), tried to claim a continuity of the empire (e.g. Nazi's III Reich) or even invoked past roman imagery (the roman eagle ["aquila"] is also present as a symbol of power in the USA [american eagle], in Russia [romanov coat of arms], in Germany [both the nazi's eagle and the bundestag's eagle]).

It's as if the world is still trying to "get over" the end of the Roman Empire.
"markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent"

Great quote. I hadn't known before it was Keynes
going to quote my sibling child comment here:

If you are, say a high ranking general at the pentagon -- which is a position directly paid by the government, then can you claim "first amendment" if you pass military secrets on to an adversarial government? Of course not.

I suggest you think about why a general gets treated differently than a private citizen. Suppose you are a private citizen and manage to snap a picture of a secret research plane coming out of area 51, while not in the bounds of the facility. You will very likely enjoy first amendment privileges.
They were just giving their personal comfort threshold.

I mean, technically, one would need to look at the reliability-cost curve. opwieurposiu would almost certainly be fine with eight 9's of reliability if it only cost twice as much as three 9's. The fact that they have a really high risk tolerance in this area don't really undermine their general point.
Im pretty sure Chen is naturalized, otherwise i dont think he would have been allowed back in the country. TLDR, he applied for gov grant money, and failed to disclose foreign offiliations(in China). He refused to unlock his laptop to agents after taking it on a trip to China, and later when he was offered a plea deal so he could return to work, he refused to cooperate. Subsequently charges were dropped(and Chen returned to work) because we as Americans value the right to privacy over finding out what was on Mr. Chen's laptop. It's not racist, and it's ironic you paint it that way given the modern day holocaust happening in China right now.
Yup.

For me, my bike is mainly used for exercise, not transportation. I'll lock it to the bike rack at the local food cart pod when I'm getting a bite to eat, and that's about it.

And yet I still spend nearly $100 on a Kryptonite Evolution lock with an absolutely monstrous chain. The lock + chain weighs I think 15 lbs, IIRC. It's absolutely overkill. But it means an angle grinder and several very noisy minutes would be required to steal my bike while my back was turned, rather than a quick snip with bolt cutters.

On the other hand, the bike parked next to mine, with the cheap Masterlock that can be raked open, connected to a $5 cable that can be snipped with Harbor Freight Chineseum wire cutters...that bike could probably be stolen without anybody around even noticing.
Yeah, what a victory lap, getting to rightfully speak out about his mistreatment. Tell me, would you trade a year of your life for the ability to take such a grand "victory lap"?

I'd rather (my company) pay than having to deal with all this myself. My Docker workflow works. Spending time on everyone moving away is actually a negative ROI.
It's not corruption unless there is intent to defraud. That is not the case. As a formerly elected official in a small town the issue was simply that we didn't have the resources. We were all basically volunteer as our pay was a few hundred a year. Elections were ran as simply as they could be as the most we could put in was an hour or two per week. Running the meetings alone were a huge hassle. There was an overwhelming sense of just sticking to the status quo as that was the simplest thing to do.

From the outside, we certainly had plenty of folks calling us corrupt for not always getting 3 closed bids on every project or paying Joe under the table for cutting grass. Were these true allegations? Yes, but it wasn't corruption. What do you do when the grass needs to be cut because if it's not, we'll get rats in the town hall and no one responds to you calls? You call Joe who cut just your personal grass the other day and ask him to please just get it done asap because no one has time. This isn't done because we're trying to get a favor, we just needed it done quickly and reliably.

Thanks a lot for trying it and the feedback!

Assuming C++ standard regex supports unicode, then this should be easy enough. I never thought to try this. I'll see if I can implement it later today or this weekend. Do you think the spelled out "alpha" should map to the same thing as "<unicode alpha character>"?

Also, do you mind if I ask how you are entering Greek letters directly? (e.g. are you a Greek speaker, using a Greek keyboard?) I'd like to better understand how people would like to use this. I'm happy to accommodate whatever I can, and I'm relying on people asking for it directly since I don't have any sort of tracking implemented. (The android version doesn't even request any INTERNET permission (or any permission).)

Of course they don't care about spam. It pumps their engagement numbers up. They have a direct financial incentive to let it continue.
To help clarify to GP (was going to help reply then saw yours) F-Droid is both the name of the core website hosting the APK repos and build infra, and the name of the Android client which can connect to any F-Droid compatible repo - there are a bunch of projects who host their APKs in their own F-Droid repo, all you have to do is go to their website and scan the QR code to add it or enter manually.

Signal could run their own F-Droid repo and people just add to their F-Droid client without using or touching the F-Droid website or build infrastructure at all, which would allow folks to do as lucgommans explains - one phone client connected to many repos, no manual downloading.

Well I mean, there’s no reason why the user shouldn’t be able to control what’s installed as essential userland. It just needs to be managed entirely separately from the system and “normal” userland. It could be as simple as a flag on apt, dnf, etc.
..I think they intend to "fix it" by making people's interactions on Twitter more narrow.

They don't truly like the fact that Twitter is a bunch of popular people shouting into the void, they want to bring Twitter 'closer' to something like Facebook (but not exactly) where you are interacting with a closed loop of friends in order to engage more every-day (read: less popular) people.

Anyone who has created an account on Twitter in recent years knows that new accounts are indiscriminately opted into new mandatory 'intelligent' social features like the purple star recommendations[0], while anyone with an old account will never see such a thing.

They're keeping their old user base, doing nothing to improve spam for them, while driving new users to a more closed-loop friend system where spam doesn't matter.

A lot of people out in the country don't actually have a gas line to their house, and cook using bottled gas. I lived in a situation like that at one point - the cost of the gas saved by the device wasn't really important to me, but it was the burden of making a half day trip to the city to replace the bottle that pushed me to conserve gas.
I guess you could do A/B testing with feature flags but honestly, it won't be any good. If you want a good answer if to go with A or B, you want to have many data points, not just from one specific customer.

Gradual rollout and specific customer opt-in to certain features can certainly be done with feature flags, I wouldn't call that A/B testing unless you're running experiments and reaching a conclusion that A is better than B (or vice-versa).
I've used Neovim since it first came to and there are good reasons to try it out:

- Native Lua support. While you don't have to rewrite your config in Lua, it's a big boon for plugin writers.

- A very active community, fueled by.Lua being so much nicer than vimscript.

- Native LSP support. Granted, you can get similar features from plugins such as coc, but the native integration in Neovim feels a lot more integrated and extendable.

- Treesitter support. Fast and more detailed syntax highlighting is nice, but you can also do more contextual transformations like swap functions or function parameters regardless of formating.
>t the end of the day it’s a conflict of interest: the people want a stable medium of exchange and the government wants to finance its activities without balancing its budget.

This still holds for USD

If you're willing to put it in basically "god's hands" (hope America keeps it stable), why not pick something like a commodity money (metals or basket of commodities for instance) that at least somewhat mitigates this conflict of interest. Using _someone else's fiat_ seem like you're keeping all the downsides of fiat but only some of the upsides.
They are called DevOps now, and management expects them to do everything that isn't pure development including classical IT, and also jump in to fix development if the respective dev is on leave.

Yes, I know that isn't what DevOps is supposed to be, but we all know how Agile turned out, management has a magic touch to distort such concepts.
Yeah, I'd imagine the only real thing they care about is clickthrough rate at this point. Betting on DAU/MAU is a suckers game.

1) I just use fugitive[0] for that. `git status` in vim is now just the `:G`, command, though I map it to `gs` so it's even quicker.

2) I can't really help you there, at least not in vanilla vim. I make heavy use of tmux and never work on my more than one repo in the same vim instance, nor is my vim's current working directory every anything other than the root of the repo I'm in. So if I do need to open a file in another repo and want to see two repos side-by-side (which is rare but it happens), I make a tmux split.

3) gutentags [1] can help with this. Though nothing is better than using a language server for your given language. That said, I still just have gutentags and mostly just grep/search for `def func` like you currently do.

Survivorship bias, perhaps? That is, all the stories you hear about like this are the kind that turn into stories you hear about -- you don't hear about anyone whose life is just quietly ruined, so it seems like they all work out fine. And of course nothing "works itself out" -- it's people who work them out. It doesn't have to be you -- it's OK to just read the article and move on with your own life -- but whenever things "just work out" it's because someone stepped in and made a positive difference.
