Children's hospitals usually admit patients up to about 20. No Child Left Behind included high school students, who may be 18. US child pornography laws include 17 year olds.

Setting those counter-examples aside - in the relevant interview we know Rogan said, quoting https://www.thewrap.com/joe-rogan-slammed-for-deeply-irrespo... :

> “People are worried about them doing it for their children…. both my children got the virus. It was nothing,” he said. “I mean, I hate to say that if someone’s children died from this. I’m very sorry that that happened. I’m not in any way diminishing that. But I’m saying the personal experience that my children had with COVID was nothing.

He appears to be using the term "children" to mean "minors who are not able to make medical decisions on their own."

His oldest child is 12 years old, which is old enough that the Swedish health authority recommends she be vaccinated.

And remember, this was immediately after saying that healthy 21-year-olds who exercise don't need to get vaccinated - again, counter to the recommendation of the Swedish health authority.

I'll let icare_1er explain how the stance on the JRE matches the Sweden's so well that Joni Mitchell and others should correspondingly stop sales in Sweden. Because I just don't see it.
Apparently there was a massive prolog-based component in the Windows NT kernel, to do with hardware monitoring or something.

I can't remember details, although last time I mentioned this here, I remember some guy replied to my comment and confirmed with details, so ... Angola Search is your friend :)
I hope so, but many of these companies are massive, can copy the features of smaller companies (see Microsoft Teams versus Slack), and also benefit from low competition due to network effects, bundling of products, etc. Their sheer size and access to capital distorts the competitiveness of our markets.
So personally I don’t feel as hopeful unless we are willing to come up with new anti trust laws and enforce them.
It’s an issue with VSCode, not the the Rust community. Microsoft is pushing their developed-in-house Rust plugin as the default.
Multiple people are pointing out that posting this thread on Twitter is probably a mistake and can't figure out why he would do it: Dan (currently) works at Twitter.
I highly recommend Acid Pauli sets on YouTube. Great 1-3 hour sets of instrumental music. House/world music whatever you want to call it, I find it great for productive tech design/programming/review/debugging/testing
It's important to note that the additional $375k investment is completely optional, something I don't think is mentioned in the original tweets.
If you already have all your virtualisation covered, it becomes much simpler:

- Find out what APIs/Configuration stores are available
- Put long-lived deployment-static things in Terraform/Salt
- Put show-lived deployment-bound things in CI (and then Ansible/Salt inside there optionally)

The CI-things can trigger OpenStack/XCP/Proxmox/Vmware and tell it to re-deploy your stuff. If you have many 'things', Nomad, Kubevirt (with ArgoCD or Flux), Tekton, Teletraan, Spinnaker are your best options in order of growing magnitude.

For me, if I were to run a small VMWare set for example, I would select Terraform as my orchestrator of choice. Then in my CI (GitLab-CI) I would make a step that once Packer has built a new VM image, I would update a file listing my to-be-deployed images and automatically commit it to a state repository. I would then also have Atlantis running which notices the change and runs terraform for me. It would add/remove all the resources needed for my VM to work with the correct network and storage. I would leave discovery and joining/leaving load balancers etc. to be the job of the VM image, perhaps via Cloud-init or Consul or something like that.

If I were to run a bit of a bigger setup, I might run Proxmox and Ceph, combine Kubevirt with that and run ArgoCD instead. Alternatively I might check out https://harvesterhci.io (via https://medium.com/@rmin.aminian/deploy-harvester-in-proxmox...).

The problem with applications-as-virtual-machines is that those are surrounded by tools and ideas that they live reasonably long lives and consume quite some resources. You won't really see someone run 1000 VMs with 0.15 CPU and 64MB RAM as a microservice 'instance' but you'd see that happen a billion times with containers. Managing the lifecycle of a virtual machine means you have to manage its storage and networking too, and responding to outages of any of the primitives (net, cpu, storage) is much more cumbersome than a container since the container doesn't need to know about any of that, it just receives it from the host.

A secondary problem is that whenever you end up in orchestration land, people tend to think it's complex tooling, or that containers are complex or that Kubernetes is complex. To a degree that is true, but when you start reinventing those wheels you just end up implementing
50% of those existing solutions with 0% documentation and nobody in the world will be able to help you because it contains so much nonstandard stuff. A lot of CI/CD and management processes are just 'state machines' or control loops. This is also what most services in Kubernetes are, and most services in public clouds. They just respond to the state of the world vs. the desired state. Whenever you're not using what already exists, you're essentially just re-implementing those exact same control loops/state machines in a less-robust and untested way.
Quote Investigator is a gem. There's another page[1] on a similar quote:

Prolog is beautiful. I don't necessarily use it much these days, but it completely transformed the way I see coding since.
> Do you correlate your sensations of happiness or impatience or satisfaction against normative models using objective indicia

Of course we do. It’s how we establish shared meaning about what it means to feel any of those things.

The rest of your post describes gender roles; as in, social standards and stereotypes of behaviors attached to sex.

We don’t use the words “woman” and “man” to denote roles or a social subculture, and we’ve never segregated bathrooms, or established segregated sports programs, on the basis of gender roles.

How I feel internally, even if you could correlate it to some objective definition of “feeling female” — which you cannot — does not change that I am a man; an adult human male.
Considering he would only take home about $50k from that $100k, I bet many of us would have done the exact same thing.
Opening stores in key areas to destroy local business. Draconic contracts with suppliers. Lowest possible quality. Highest possible price. Huge markup.

Can you walk me through the thinking of "corps fuck me over and I should be thankful"?
We need to talk more about this.

That said, Organizations with professionals should be able to do nuance, at least a bit of it.

But the general public at large ... you're dealing with 'lowest common denominator' which is 'issues with literacy' and harder to grasp - very limited, care, attention span, and may not even be listening to the message - and may be getting misinformation from elsewhere.

Communicating clearly is a skill.

A lot of marketing people I believe have missed the message on this, every day I come across a new product and can't really understand what it does, the value proposition, who it's for, etc.. while at the same time there's tons of arbitrary marketing verbiage. Words matter.
StarQueue is also written in Async Python

https://www.starqueue.org/

It's not open source though it is free.

StarQueue has a pure HTTP API so any language can talk to it.

StarQueue is designed to be a more simple implementation of the SQS way of doing things, without some of the unnecessary stuff that SQS has in its API.

Under the hood it uses Postgres although I actually wrote it to support MySQL and SQL Server also, which are equally capable of doing queueing as Postgres.
Yeah I felt the same way. His sources are one friend and a McKinsey study. If he’d reported just the data, I’m not sure anyone would have naturally come to the same conclusion as him.
Ada doesn't. It also allows creating semantic versions of the same type which the type checked will catch if you mess them up. You can also add ranges to primitive types as well. If you want the wrapping behavior of an unsigned type, you can use "modular types" which are expressly designed for that behavior.

-- You can't assign some value of type Apples to Oranges
-- without a conversion
type Apples is new Integer;
type Oranges is new Integer;

-- Only allow whole number ranges of a percentage.
type Percentage is range 0 .. 100;
This is why there must be separate private and public conversations. A comment that is appropriate for exploring nuances in a small group is inappropriate for wider communication to a large audience. Social media's blurring between small group conversations and publicly broadcasted conversations removes this distinction.
How about programs that are based on income, instead of skin color? That way you aren't giving the children of millionaires undue benefits if they happen to have more melanin, and you're not racially discriminating against people in generational poverty if they happen to have white skin.
I love your counter examples. In moving beyond the famous Shannon-Weaver model of communication[1], the one with the "signal," "noise," "channel" that network folks love, researchers settled on the importance of "feedback." I would say that these popular stories that become part of "mainstream culture" spread through comedy, song, news, bars, and repeated viewings on television to reinforce and strengthen the "mainstream" understanding of what these things mean and whether nuance is important when talking about them.

Verifying is only part of the promised solution. Assuming you've verified your own or someone else's device, Element still marks some messages as untrusted/unverifiable. Especially ugly if you get a new device or want to deprecate an old one.

The promised functionality doesn't really work reliably enough to protect against MITM, causes ugly warnings, but has been totally unactionable for years now.
Fun bit of history: When Buell started selling their motorbikes in Germany, the motorcycles didn’t survive being driven large stretches on the autobahn - which lead to the famous recall party in Oschersleben where some of the factory team flew in from the US to fix and upgrade Buell motorcycles.
Isn't this the 'if people aren't in the office where I can keep an eye on them then they will just screw off' argument?

If this pandemic is ever over it's going to be interesting to watch the pendulum swing back and forth.
> The reality is nuclear is neither clean

This argument relies on fiddling with the definition of "clean" in a way it is not otherwise used when discussing climate change. In the context of climate change, nuclear is clean because it does not release greenhouse gases.

It is the same tactic used by climate change deniers when they go on about how a wind turbine ended up in a landfill and as a result how there is no such thing as “clean” energy.
I have been using Purelymail since July 2021 and it's worked very well for me so far. You can have as many domains and accounts as you want and the pricing comes down to total usage. For me it's been $0.40 per month.
No yeah, I agree. I was just joking around since DT is a master of large scale nuance-free communication
Does anybody else sees the irony of, preventatively driving to the ER, while testing beta software in a live environment with other drivers around?
It's a clown argument as it pertains to climate change or climate issues in general.

For example:

> Nuclear isn’t cheap, but extremely costly.

We don't need it to be cheap (and it should be subsidized as far as consumers are concerned re cost). Who in the past few decades has successfully argued that nuclear is inexpensive? Nobody is making that argument, it's a straw-argument the author set up. We need it to produce energy at massive scale and reliably. Nuclear does that, and it's a technology we can keep improving upon (we should have spent the last 40-50 years aggressively improving upon it with large R&D expenditures; best time to plant a tree and all that).

Current US energy mix is coal at ~19.3% and nuclear at ~19.7% (2020 EIA numbers).

That's 93 nuclear reactors or less to wipe out US coal use. Hit the print button, get it to it already. In terms of US contributions on climate, that'd be a huge win. And more realistically, we could build toward 1/3 nuclear mix (instead of ~40%), while traditional renewables continue to expand, which would wipe out coal's share in tandem.
I installed BT on Brave; while it took a while to figure it out, I'm pleased with the platform and the concepts it embodies.

As a topic mapper, I was immediately attracted to it, though, in reality, it's not a full-Monty topic map the way I build them. What, then, is it and why do I use it - and, for that matter, design improvements on it?

As the web page says, it gives me control of my browser, and it uses that control and its web annotation tools to allow me to fully, and more deeply curate my topics than ever before. I contrast that to a long history of using https://hypothes.is/ and WorldBrain's Memex. There are important differences. Still, controlling the tabs on my browser is, for me, a huge bonus.

org-mode is NOT a hot point for me; more a kind of convenience; I can run org-mode in vscode if I want to do that, but I don't come from an emacs background, so that's not a sales point; the primary sales point is that it is helping me improve on my abilities in deep biomedical research.

BT is presently for personal work; I'll be interested to see where it can go in the space of online collaboration.
I find Stephan T. Lavavej's explanation from "Core C++, 7 of n" [0] of Arithmetic Conversions a little more thorough. Also, it is memorable as it is told in the context of a bug in Microsoft's STL implementation.

But what about the whole movement toward plant-based diets?
I thought literate program was a farsical esoterica that was only born because of it's ivory tower surroundings, and would've stillborn had it come into the world any other way.

Until I found org-mode it really is world changing if I had picked up Doom Emacs for no other reason than org mode it would've been well worth it. I have now seriously considered trying to do literate program with org mode.

It's already seeped into every project I work on now has a notes.org where I keep kind of a stream of consciousness notes of what I am doing and copy and paste any code or command I have into it for future reference and it has already multipled my productivity.

I love org mode and for any person that is already a vimmer I recommend highly you pick up Doom Emacs and spend some time getting to become familiar with it, especially org mode and magit it really is world changing. I can't imagine ever going back.
First job I left to go back to college, but quite honestly I had checked out of that place and hated the team I was on. Was a pretty large networking company, spent all my time writing RFPs and vendor specs, zero time writing software.

Next one was a cheap tech startup that worked by recruiting people for peanuts, including hiring cab drivers doing night courses in IT, and placing them in telcos looking for business analysts for multiples of what they were actually getting paid. Hated the cheapness, left after a few months.

Then it was a FAANG company, which looked after it's people really well, but the frickin politics really grind you down, left there after a few years after my team got shuffled around on a whim from some exec.

Last role was a utility company, and it was a total mess internally. Vested interests, complete underfunding of the data processing systems, and major consulting firms scamming them for millions a year to produce meaningless reports. Impossible to make an impact, or even bring things up to code... For example, there was zero version control on software, zero! Things were tested on production. I stayed there far too long, should have left the first day, like a few hires actually did.
Post an answer :)

Here it will get lost (semi-ephemerality is imo one of the disadvantages of HN), on stackexchange people will find it.
lol no doubt $15 is top for me (and $5 tip). All I get is a head shave, it literally takes them 5 minutes tops.
I come from a a very very poor family ( both parents working minimum wage job) in a small city in canada that doesn’t have an university… and where no one speak english.

I now work at microsoft in Seattle and everyone I met at work have a similar story.

So I don’t think what you said is very accurate
"A little weak" may be an understatement. My eyes are still wide from the casual implication that turning down a promotion from 300k to 400k due to the position's negative impact on your life is somehow an example of a new trend of employees dissatisfaction. In what universe is that not a totally normal decision?
Even going to the "resources" section of the website, most of what I see is ridiculously non-technical high-level fluff.
The article mentions FreeDOS 1.3 RC4, but the article was written in July 2021, and 1.3 RC5 was released a few months later, in December:

https://freedos.org/download/

Bullet points, quoted from the above page:

• New FreeCOM 0.85a

• New Kernel 2043 and an 8086 version with FAT32 support

• Floppy Edition now uses compression and requires about half as many diskettes

• The return of networking

• Some new programs and games

• Many many many package updates

• Some updates and improvements to NLS

• Improved install process, especially with the MBR

• Some support to automatically set the COUNTRY.SYS information

• Improved CD initialization for the boot media and installed system

• … and much, much more!
That makes no sense. It is entirely possible for someone to not have deep convictions yet not be swayed by others.
I think you're half-right about the critical thinking skills, but the other half is shared context. The bigger the group the less shared context they will have. This gap doesn't necessarily scale linearly, but it also doesn't scale for free unless you're in a cult.
Another problem is that popular OS’s (macOS/Windows) and popular software vendors (Google, Adobe, Microsoft) install tons of built in daemons/services that are constantly phoning home in the background with telemetry. I imagine it would be trivial to deanonymize Tor (or VPN) traffic by analyzing these payloads.
And now he's destitute and living under a park bench, a pariah shunned by society?

He seems to be doing just fine. The article you posted doesn't even say his new employers refused to hire him because of "the mob." You're not exactly proving cancel culture to be the life-destroying force you made it out to be earlier.
That's a rich assumption, perpetuated by those who choose comfy ignorance. The ultimate gift is reason that lets us foresee consequencies without experiencing them. Also, someone who has nothing to lose wouldn't live like that. If I had a terminal stage cancer and one month left, I wouldn't sit and waste time.

One of the comments for the thread.

> I see this for every post, e.g., when I talked about how latency hadn't improved, one of the most common responses I got was about how I don't understand the good reasons for complexity.

> I literally said there are good reasons for complexity in the post

It feels like this kind of half baked point scoring reply is just a risk of posting on the internet. I'm sure I've been guilty of it at times too, and I think forums like HN or Reddit encourage it.

So you end up having to be overclear in a way that hurts your message.

For example, in just my previous post in another thread, I was talking about how I felt IMAP and SMTP support was important for a mail provider. However, I felt that if I just left it at that, some pedant would come yell at me about how IMAP and SMTP are not secure protocols since they're plaintext. So I wrote out IMAPS and SMTPS to ward off that kind of pedantry.

But I'm still at risk of someone else wanting to score points indicating that actually, IMAPS and SMTPS isn't a thing. And they'd be sort of right, IMAPS and SMTPS are colloqial terms for their corresponding protocols over TLS, but you won't find an IMAPS spec, and if you look in the IMAP RFC, IMAPS is not something that is mentioned.

I don't know how you fix this.
A school, however, is not a retailer. They likely have not done those things in the past, and so the simplest solution for them is to not do this extra work, and remove the offending items from their shelves.
We assign IPv6 deterministically. Incrementing them is the most boring way to use IPv6 space.

You can also just start in the middle of a block and make a sequence of 10,000 IPs effectively unguessable.

I don't buy that keeping addresses private has much value, but IPv6 still isn't worse than NAT in that respect.
But then what would I do with all this extra hyperbole?
I'm impressed with the introduction this article gives to the WSB community: the acronyms, the broad thematic views of the financial system. They've captured it extremely well.

Through the thick of it, folks spent a great deal about time discussing how our markets are regulated, and how it ought to be. I learned of the existence of the DTCC by reading WSB. The public cares about fair markets. It's a great opportunity to keep working towards that ideal.
> Currently, in most of the world, people's initial ascribed gender is set by their society based on some subset of sex traits.

Do you believe, when everyone else says “man” and “woman”, that they’re just referring to gender stereotypes?

Does someone cease to be a woman if they fail to conform to stereotype?

Do you think bathrooms were intended to be segregated by “ascribed social stereotype”, or by sex?
It really depends on what you get done. I could probably do my own with a set of sheers and an extra mirror to get the back :) .
Yeah, I don't think we're disagreeing which each other.

I'd assume eventually it will work exactly like you suggest - I just think we're very far from it right now. I see it very much chicken and egg - trying to encourage your local council to put charging points every 3 or 4 spaces on every street is going to be next to impossible when there's just not enough EVs; too much hassle/uncertainty to own an EV in the middle of a city if you have to park it on the street (and your charge options are super limited).

That said, I'm sure it'll change and change will come quicker as more people in the suburbs (with the space to charge at home) buy.

The reason to continue the project and not focus together on the more maintained fork [1] is to keep support for python 2.6 and 3.2?

In 2022?

For a thing that is made to talk to the internet?

Python 2.6.7 was released in 2011.
Python 2.x overdue EOL was in 2020.
Python 3.2.6 was released in 2014.

That's has to be one of the worst reasons for duplicating efforts ever.

"TÜV is where people go who want to save money by skipping the dealership."

I would just add, that most normal car repair stations offer that service, too. Meaning your repair guy takes your car in, checks and fixes everything - and takes it to the TÜV.

(and often they know the TÜV guy quite well, so also in germany there quite some cars with substandard safety)
