"What did intensely lower the severity of the disease without the slightest doubt from my side". Hmmm I don't see how you can be so sure that something you took is the cause for getting better. You can get better for a lot of reasons, one being your immune system winning the battle on its own. It's a common misconception that getting better after taking some medicine proves it works. To prove a medicine works, we have to go through those double-blind clinical trials.

Anyway, you're suggesting that instead of vaccines, omicron could be dealt with with Vit B(complex), C, D, K2, magnesium, zink, potassium, melatonine, R-alpha-lipoic acid, Q10, and probiotics. That sounds a lot of things compared to 1 or 2 vaccine shots per years. So you say you prefer a combination of lots of medicines with potential side effects, plus it's hard to know how they could interfere. Sounds weird if your reason for not wanting vaccine is the side effects, as there is a lot of data for the vaccine thanks to clinical trials, as opposed to custom combinations of vitamines, minerals, probiotics, and Q10? what's that?

Sounds like you see anything coming "from the elites" as dangerous and dishonest, whereas anything coming from "the people", the "common sense" is reliable and safe. I guess these discussions are deeply about "trusting official institutions" vs "trusting random people claims". There's no convincing anyone if the premises are that the goal of official institutions is to conspire against the people for the benefit of the powerful. And even if it was true, 1) I'm not sure how getting people vaccinated benefits the powerful vs other medicines, 2) it doesn't mean random people claims are correct. It seems you'd believe anything as long as it's opposed to official claims about vaccines. It's a binary view: either one trusts official institutions and everything he say is wrong, either one is against official institutions claims and everything he say is right.

I tend to trust official institutions more than random people, as it's easier to lie/be wrong when you're not accountable for anything.
If you are creating a rich web app, you still have to deal with all of this when generating HTML+JS in another language.

Rails doesn't save you from any of this, none of the back end frameworks do. I prefer writing SPAs because if I prefer to be directly authoring my HTML+JS instead of authoring it indirectly through a framework in a different language.
Honestly Angular is great even for startups. With the current state of the the framework and the way the Angular CLI bundles code, it's pretty hard to break 90 on PageSpeed Insights (at least without pre-rendering). But it's also not that difficult to get in the high 80s, which is pretty good for a SPA. And it should only be getting more performant as they put more working into optimizing it.

It's easy to learn, the code is super clean, TypeScript is great, and imo it generally just makes for a good work environment.
This project doesn't use AI to improve the image, they use it to estimate the EMI noise from the surroundings. So they're not "filling in the gaps" in the actual resulting 3D voxel volume with fantasy voxels (which I hope will never ever fly in a clinical setting).

"To tackle the EMI signals from the external environments and internal low-cost electronics during scanning, we developed a deep learning driven EMI cancellation scheme"

So it's kind of using deep learning to improve the SnR in the RF reception. Of course this could theoretically also lead to "fantasy voxels" but due to the nature of MRI decoding, I'm willing to guess that bad predictions of the EMI interference will not show up as unnoticeable alterations of realistic tissue imaging but rather as artefacts all over the volume, like you normally see in clinical MRIs that weren't taken 100% optimally.
Precisely. A concept called "medium of exchange".
Ask HN: Is there any tool for benchmarking responsiveness for Linux?
System76 recently announced their responsiveness optimizer, System76 Scheduler [0], which basically works as a daemon, adjusting the nice value and the CFS knobs for processes in the box for increased responsiveness. They've claimed that the responsiveness is therefore increased, which I'm also believed so.

However, this got me wondering, is there exists any tool that can report the "numbers" (e.g., scheduling latency) regarding to the responsivenss? Maybe Google has such tool for testing regression for Android or Chrome OS, sadly, I didn't managed to find one.

Thanks!

It could possibly but when I studied math in college I got incredibly good at mental math. A lot of it is memory or number tricks and a bit of practice. I would say anyone can learn them regardless of age. I am many years out of college but even by the time I was in my mid twenties and a few years out of school my ability to do simple problems in my head went down drastically since I wasn't doing it nearly as often. Age may play a factor but probably not as much as you would think.
That assumes there's use for a generator out near the pump. I don't think that's generally the case, meaning the methane would need to be stored and transported. Considering it's literally these companies' business to store and transport fuel, I'd assume if it were economically viable to do so, they would. That's not to say something like a carbon-tax wouldn't sway the economics toward that side, but it's not just as simple as "burn the fuel in a generator"

"Javascript has such a minimal standard library"

My hope is that this has been/will continue to change over time, is this a fare statement? Does anyone know if the various working groups (e.g., WHATWG, W3C, etc.) have the goal of making the JavaScript more robust?

My vision is that the standard, built-in APIs would serve as a minimum viable platform that you can build simple to moderately complex applications in with only "minimal" external dependencies.
That by itself isn't enough to explain the stark discrepancy though. Surely in the regions where tail flaps are extremely rare, there are still some operators that own both trucks and trailers.
Seems like an "all or nothing" mentality. You either do it all in Javascript (both the frontend and backend) or you do it all in Rails.

Why not do the backend in Rails and the frontend in Javascript/SPA?

As a counterpoint, stock data is freely available (through online websites, your broker/app, etc), yet it costs thousands of dollars per month to actually license and acquire such data through the proper channels. Trying to build a business based on scraping such data (or even using your broker's free personal-use API) will get you in trouble pretty quick by the exchanges.
Have you noticed a difference depending on when they got into web development/whether they trained for it?

One thing I'm noticing as I'm looking for tech jobs as a tech person who hasn't ever been a tech employee before is that a lot of the job listings are very heavily tool focused. I wonder if newer/junior devs are reacting to what the market is presenting (as you hinted at with 'The more complex they can make something, the better they think it will look on their resume').
I've written many lambdas in Python but have switched entirely to Go for all my new lambda work. Go is just better in every way - uses a fraction of the memory and executions take a tiny amount of the time Python takes.

You had to create, because there was just so little to consume.

This is a deep problem. The Internet isn't just the biggest thing since fire, it's bigger even than fire. It's the most world changing thing the human race has ever been exposed to. Yeah, fire was big. Kept predators at bay, killed parasites, tamed seasons, let you melt shiny stuff out of the oddly colored rocks. But it didn't obviate the need to think entirely. For kids in their very formative years, the internet does exactly that.
Umm, no. Having a theory of identity allows you to deduce the answers to your questions.
What questions come to mind? I was surprised by the high percent who lost smell, I'd have thought that was closer to ~20% or lower based on personal collection of stats from people I know who've had it. In this study, nearly 67% of those who were infected lost smell.

I know people who prefer cash, because they are not tech-savvy and all the digital stuff including cards gives them anxiety. There is a difference between just having a bank account and using all the digital services that come with it.

Do most people use Django as a server-side framework (no frontend-JS or very minimal JS, may be jQuery)? Or, is it mostly used as an API to interact with the React/Angular/etc front-end framework? What I am trying to get at is do people still build POST-redirect-GET patterns and such for form submissions or they use Django in a more 'modern' way?
The whole discussion of alternatives is, alas, akin to passing a hot potato around. I, for one, don't quite see how keeping a daemon whose only job is to execute arbitrary privileged commands any safer. You can have a hole where it parses the request. You can have a hole where it checks whether the requesting party is indeed authorized to make such requests. You can have a hole at the point of it invoking execve(). Indeed, you can put in the same hole pkexec used to have! You still need to exercise due diligence to write that daemon as tightly as can be so all those places don't pose a risk.

But with having a resident daemon approach you lose the process ownership, which sometimes is damn handy to have. Accidentally granting root to do a wrong thing and then not even being able to kill the thing with Ctrl-C or xkill is quite disempowering.
Thanks, I'll check it out. Have a lovely weekend.
Proper sum types, if only for proper error handling. The if err != nil dance is extremely verbose and error prone with consecutive checks.
In my 50s, born in Montreal left for silicon valley as a programmer in '99. You'll make more in the US and pay less in tax.

The USA is a business and for me the only reason to be here is work. Here I need to worry about violent crime (been mugged), healthcare (took a gov't job just for the health benefits), cost of education, cost of housing (rent a room from my gf). I had a condo here which I sold. I plow my $ into ancesral real estate in Canada. In '95 I worried about Quebec separating, the language politics and 10% structural unemployment.

Given the recent coup attempt here and the rapid decline of the US home is looking better and better.
ig is neither a TikTok clone, nor is it poor.

TikTok users in the West skew young (ie poor) and it's all short form video, which fb calls out as harder to monetize, so I can't see how TikTok is a threat to soak up the ad spend. We'll see what happens when they try to pivot from growth to profit. For reference, with similar userbase, ig brings in 6x the ad revenue of TikTok.

The markets are unreasonably obsessed with growth imo.

My only grievance with Go in the cloud is that it's tedious to have to set up a CI job or similar to build your binaries to deploy in your functions. I really wish I could just ship the source code and have it compile for me (or failing that, if CloudFormation or AWS SAM or Terraform or whatever could transparently manage the compilation).
I really like puns. This seems to be the only place I post where I need to add /s or some other indicator to avoid literal interpretations of what I wrote.
> Hidden downvotes are a terrible idea

First and foremost, I agree that this will probably end poorly.

However, I could see this being a good idea in the right hands, because it _could_ be used as _part_ of a more comprehensive auto-mod tools, including self-shadow-banning.

Imagine you had a human reviewing highly ratioed comments, providing a final judgment on "is this comment actually unhelpful, or is it just being brigaded?". (And let's imagine one judgment option is "unclear, do nothing".) You could then keep a per-user metric of their (mis)alignment with that judgment across all their votes. That metric could then be used to weight the votes of that user.

High alignment then classifies that user as a "trustworthy unpaid mod" behind the scenes, which can then be used as a signal to determine future human reviews. Similarly, if someone has an absolutely stellar alignment, you can use the occasional disagreements to do meta-mod reviews of your mods' judgments. If you go really wild and draw some correlation between mis-votes and hashtag/topic/channel/whatever, then you can use that.

Low alignment could then be used to devalue votes from that user, leading to a slow shadow ban, and potentially even other more visible effects.

All of which can be done regardless of the visibility of the votes, of course. But hiding "down" votes should help to reduce the pile-on effects of brigading ("a ton of other people downvoted it, so I am safe in the crowd") and thus the temptations leading to slowly shadow banning yourself. But unlike completely taking away down votes, like YouTube, you leave enough rope for bad actors to hang themselves.

It's equivalent to the system Slashdot has had for decades (IIRC).

Do I trust Twitter to put in place something with that amount of utility, feedback, and nuance? Nope. And even if they did, they'd throw away the value of having invisible scores for the opportunity to add "gold checkmarks" or some other BS.
I would say it is more about having stateful client applications that implement some kind of client side model view controller and uses some kind of remote API vs. the traditional server applications that generated HTML views.

Rails is basically optimized for server-side model view controller with HTML views rendered server side and served to a browser. SPAs, mobile, and desktop applications typically have their own client side model view controller type frameworks; so server side views are not that relevant for those. Any frontend browser project I've dealt with in the last ten years or so was a basically a SPA.

A third variant exists in the form of server side views rendered using client side technology. Some people actually do e.g. server side react in order to limit client side processing. This is less common but perfectly valid. Back in the day, you'd use server side includes or similar technology. So, it's nothing new but popular for some things. Usually node.js is used for this but I've also seen this done via Java & Spring, which wasn't much fun for our frontend developers but still worked.

I'm not a fan of either Rails or Javascript server side. I've done both but it's just not my preferred stack. Ruby code bases I've dealt with were messy, over engineered, and underwhelming in terms of performance. It's been a while since I had to deal with that since it seems to have gone out of fashion. Most node.js stuff I've dealt with looks like it's fine for small projects but it gets messy quickly if you scale up. Typescript helps but I'd probably reach for other techstacks.

The point is, you have choice and there is a lot of specialized stuff out there and no technical need to use anything js on the server. My pet theory is that many frontend developers get into server development via node.js and then discover something better like Go, Rust, or whatever. I've seen some of my younger friends and colleagues go through this process a couple of times. My preferred server-side stack is Kotlin currently. There are several good server frameworks for it. I'm very familiar with Spring but have also used Quarkus and Ktor. Kotlin makes these a lot nicer to use.

I don't know for rails, but whatever dev I do on my Windows machine I just do it via VSCode in WSL2. Or I ssh into my dev machine (shared hosting via uberspace).

> I just wanted to crunch some data but here I was wrangling Twitter's API.

> I worked on this as a side project in a "calm company" fashion. Each week for 26 weeks I would put aside one day to chip away at the features.

So you wanted to crunch some data...and instead of spending 3-4 hours setting up the API properly...you instead spent 26 days writing an unofficial hack?

It seems like what you really wanted was to spend 26 days on a coding hobby, not actually crunching some data.
Those... aren't the only two options. I use Three.js.

I never really saw what the hype was about React. It seems like most people who got really into it never really had much experience building componentized code before, so what they think of as being the "great" thing about React doesn't really need React at all.

Virtual DOM is overhead, overhead I can't really afford. I have to hit 120FPS on the Quest 2 with an immediate-mode renderer, when React's V-DOM was designed for a 60FPS retained-mode environment. It's just... too much of a leaky abstraction to deal with when I have about 8 milliseconds to do absolutely everything. And yes, I hit 120FPS.

Honestly, managing 3D objects is one of the smallest parts of my job. Some days, it can be all consuming, but other times, I can go weeks without touching the graphics. The biggest concern I have is with data management and efficient transmission and decoding of assets.
Frameworks in general are about providing a set of decisions and idioms for you to follow, and so they work very well in teams and long-lived projects. They also tend to be pragmatic rather than exotic, so they are robust and useful, not fancy and brittle.

On personal projects I do whatever the hell I want, in professional projects I always use a framework, to make sure everyone is on the same page and we don't have to bikeshed every simple decision on the road to delivery.
I think this is more a revolt against unnecessary complexity, which I think is a discussion to be had. I am not solving drastically more difficult problems than I did twenty years ago, yet the amount of complexity, maintenance, and overhead is staggering. Why? Oh, because "that's how they do it at the FAANG".

Basically the author reduced himself with Rails happily to a subset of the options, yet does not want do it in the JS world. The question is why? In my experience it's fear. Fear of somebody coming along and criticizing him for using X instead of Y, for not using the shiny new Z, fear of basically feeling inadequate.

So get over it. The task of a developer is to make something useful. The users don't care about technology unless it's something that improves their life. They don't care about your SPA or not, and they especially don't care about the package manager your project uses.

If Ruby helps you do that, go for it, but otherwise just let go snd do things. Somebody will always nitpick.
Kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it, how many kids were given horses back in the 1910s 1920s, that they just ignored?
> Off tangent but I’m kinda curious how the Moderna vaccine will play out. I don’t understand the subject enough so would love to hear others thoughts on it. From what I can tell, rather than making our immune system respond to the spike protein like the Covid vaccines, it tries to make our B cells react to HIV that’s usually “undetectable” by our immune system.

Are you talking about an unreleased Moderna HIV vaccine? I'm pretty sure you are, but when you say "Moderna vaccine" most people will read that as Moderna COVID vaccine, because it's been released and widely administered. It's too easy to read your comment as implying the Moderna COVID vaccine has some kind of anti-HIV component.
While a discussion of the best F-Droid apps is nice, explaining to people the benefit of never using the Google Play Store would go a long way to increasing the demand for F-Droid apps. Of course... this means making people care about the privacy of their personal data and if that ever became popular then the use of mobile phones would plummet.
