> Based on a study out of Israel, the risk of post-vaccine myocarditis is 2.13 cases per 100,000 vaccinated, which is within the range usually seen in the general population

Because the vaccinated are not immune to the virus, some of them must have gotten covid. The overall risk of this sample still falls with-in the normal range for myocarditis.

This is actually the best reason to have people remain unvaccinated, and to not strictly mandate vaccines.

I'm pro-vax (god, why do I have to say that?) but what's seriously pissed me off about this whole COVID thing is how quickly it became political. At the beginning there was a real sense of "we're in this together" but now you can be pretty certain of someones political affiliation if they choose not to wear a mask.

Vaccines prevent you getting the worst of the illness, they don't really prevent you catching and infecting others, so vaccines are a "cure" for overwhelmed healthcare systems and a protection for the individual.

So why do you need to have a vaccine pass to go places? You can still carry the virus and infect people.

Having unvaccinated parts of the population means we can track if it was the wise decision or not, hindsight is 20-20 and it seems obvious to me now that we should vaccinate.. But it also seemed obvious in the 50s that fireproofing buildings with asbestos was the right decision too.

> OOP better resembles the physical world and since brains have grown up in the physical world

The part about OOP which doesn't resemble the physical world though is encapsulation. Encapsulation is like pretending the world functions in passive voice, with objects doing things to themselves.
I think you are exactly right. There is a huge difference between data-oriented and behavior-oriented parts of a program. OOP is only a great tool for the latter but it does allow for immutability besides it, it is not either-or.

Wrap the behavior in classes and have data as data. Hopefully this will be indeed the direction taken by Java with its records and other new TBD features.
>Apple would fight this all the way to the Supreme Court. This is IMHO a clear violation of the 1st amendment.

I'm not so sure anymore. Apple of yore is dead. They recently announced a plan to scan local files on iPhones against a government created list of hashes. Only after immense backlash did they agree to "delay" the implementation. This had no profit motive for Apple. As a company, the move served to seriously undermine decades worth of security good will. One can only surmise that they did so in preparation for upcoming legislation like this to ensure their compliance, and continued access to said markets. Apple doesn't care about fighting moral wars. They only care about market access and continued profits. If that means removing apps and scanning phones, I think they'll do it without much fuss.
that's how I'm reading it as well. the Nature article does acknowledge this, but not with a lot of detail.
> Keep in mind that the presidential election is in 3 months.

Exactly, Macron has a very long history of changing of advice, sometimes after just a few days. In 2017 he campaigned to stop most nuclear plants in France (which are really old anyway) [0]. I think here those statements were more to sooth the "CGT" and the big companies in the field after the government last statements on EDF. [1]

He was the guy who dismantle Alstom to GE's and EDF's profits, then made Alstom buy what it just sold. It's hard to see any consistent strategy in any of his actions, except from a political point of view. He probably don't care of anything on any subject, it's just a matter of having the best posture to win elections.

How many non-embedded non-POSIX systems do you know? Windows also guarantees CHAR_BIT == 8 and since most software is first written for Windows or POSIX there is plenty of software that assumes that CHAR_BIT == 8. That means that anything that will want to run general software needs to also ensure CHAR_BIT == 8 - not to mention all the algorithms and data formats designed around you being able to efficiently access octets. The only platforms that can get away with CHAR_BIT != 8 are precisely those that have software specially written for them, i.e. embedded systems.

The quality of life on Mars poses the greatest risk to SpaceX's plan to create a self-sustaining city there.

I'm sure there will be plenty of people who will go to Mars because it is a fantastic adventure.

However, i doubt that many will want to stay there for more than 26 months. If too many pioneers choose to return to Earth, the project fails. You need a fairly large number of settlers to create something self-sustaining.
> Uh no, cryptocurrencies can't generate USD.

If I buy crypto from a miner, the dollars don't disappear. The miner uses it to buy energy and semiconductors, which makes its way around the econony until some miniscule fraction of it comes back to me. (The loss of assets in the economy needed to create the transaction does not destroy dollars, but it does destroy finite resources such as fuel or sunlight for energy, the time of the people involved in the supply chain, etc. In that sense, buying crypto generates USD: we end the process having completed the reaction

Dollars + fuel/energy/resources + time -> Dollars + Crypto

So if one values crypto more than fuel/energy/resouces + time (say, because crypto is deflationary and its value will rise faster than that of the natural resources used to create it, then it does look (if you squint at it) like dollars are generated: the crypto can be sold later for more than the dollars.

At the individual level, the transaction might be even more biased: dollars -> crypto now looks a lot like it generates dollars later if dollars are inflationary and crypto is deflationary (with stable demand for crypto).

Quote from my past posts [1] on this point:

> It's impossible to predict what tech can come out of such efforts that will be of use here on Earth in the future. The amount of money going to space exploration is peanuts so I think it's well justified if it has even a trace of potential to improve future of humanity and that has been true historically - e.g. satellites (GPS, weather, etc), medicine (MRI), and whole bunch of NASA spinoffs and more.

> I think SpaceX to date has received less than 10 billion (say 20 to be safe) in total for everything! That's 20 years of research, development, coming up with never done before re-usable rockets, etc.

Not sure if this will improve your mood, but I know the feeling. I had Covid in November (despite being vaccinated), and I got it from my father (86, also vaccinated). So I alternated between (mostly) worrying about him and also a bit about myself ("does it still count as a mild case if you lose your sense of smell? Will it come back?"). But I am happy to say that we both got through it ok. Although articles like this are scary for me too...
There would be the hazard that you can no longer say it was an accidental stalking if you use a professionally tampered with device. Given that there are a lot of iPhones out there even if your device doesn’t detect it your friend may ask what is up. Then law enforcement can use the AirTag serial number to track back to the account it is linked to.

> For example, people in the contemporary control group weren’t tested for COVID-19, so it’s possible that some of them actually had mild infections.

How doesn't this completely invalidate the title? If we aren't actually comparing between a group that provably did not have COVID and one that did, we can't possibly draw any conclusions about the effect of having COVID compared to not having it at all.
Good, we're in agreement.
Isn't pumped hydro-electricity a solved problem for off-peak energy storage? Granted, only for countries with hills/mountains (not the Netherlands etc.)
This has already been the case, as the article specifies. However, they did this through providing different SKUs with specific feature sets enabled. Hardware was already identical between SKUs.
That still doesn't make it a superstimulus. The difference is not that big in terms of stimulation.
Far more than 50%. A year ago it was normal for suppliers to pay about £50 per MWh (consumers of course end up paying a little more, this is a for-profit business in most cases) and today you're being charged maybe £200 per MWh.

In one peak period yesterday it went to £365 per MWh and I'd expect the same today. Unlike in Texas, UK consumer electricity firms have to apply the price cap, so while you can get electricity for £0 in the middle of the night sometimes (though not so much recently) that full £365 wasn't passed on to you, but of course the financial strain of such offerings under current situations means these firms go bankrupt, and sooner or later the government will end up having to fix it.

Everything paying Contract for Difference subsidies would be above water now, not just the nuclear plant, the most expensive older wind farms are actually net profitable for the government via its wholly owned energy subsidy company. If your wind farm is guaranteed £150 per MWh, and electricity sells for £365 per MWh, you're paying the government £215 per MWh of the income from selling wind power - if you put up a newer, cheaper farm and only secured £80 per MWh, that's £285 per MWh you're giving the government, and your investors are probably re-assessing their appetite for risk accordingly, if they'd just said "Fuck it, we'll build it without a subsidy" that £285 per MWh is profit.
Don’t be scared to ask questions. That’s called science :>
Rambda is an excellent library but I've found difficult to use to teach newcomers to FP concepts. Once you start to get into transducers, lenses (which Lodash has, just calls them something else) then it can be a bit of a bridge too far as a tool to start with. Lodash/FP always seemed to me to strike that nice balance between complexity and getting things done.

That said, if I was on a project with a bunch of developers that really grok'd FP concepts then Rambda would be my first pick, absolutely.
It sticks in your brain. "I worked hard and all i got was some bytes with no value".
Yes, you are right of course. But I suspect even when taking gender into account, the risk of being stalked AND tracked by an AirTag is absolutely miniscule and not worth worrying about. But I'm talking completely out of my ass, would love to see some data behind it.

If enough people write in it can have an effect. It can provide political ammunition for those who are already supportive of your position.

It may sway representatives who haven't made up their minds and want to get relected.

It probably won't change the minds of those who are already fully committed to the other position.

Your one letter won't make much difference. Many letters can sway opinion to some extent.

It only goes to show that the "Deep State" is real. But, of course, because it came from the "wrong guys" the idea got ridiculed to the Moon and back, all while the people writing about it had colleagues or close family working for said "Deep State" institutions.
You are correct, the 5 degree might be a bit high in this context. It's quite possible however in SSP5-8.5 and even SSP4-7.0 from IPCC's predictions for 2100 ([0] for instance). A more conservative 2-3 degrees might be more accurate for climate pledges [1]. This is based on quite a few assumptions tho and varies between authors. 2300 projections can go up to 12 degrees in IPCC AR5 WG1, Figure 12.5 [2] (for the old RCP8.5 scenario).

I think the EFF does a very bad job at providing counterarguments to the "fact checking" done by the senators. Maybe someone could provide better more nuanced criticism if anyone tries to reach out for their reps. In Europe a similar situation is coming up and I see the fundamental criticism of some NGOs sometimes not helpful, because this might be just dismissed as radical.

> In an FP style, ideally each function would be a thing you can look at separated from the whole system

That is theoretically impossible - complexity is fundamentally not decomposable into parts in the general case. That is, given a complex function, you may not be able to extract one more meaningfully separate part, leaving the core function still too complex.

OOP’s general idea is to encapsulate just enough of the complexity to make it possible to reason about its outside API, while the complexity will live inside, allowing the class to enforce some of its invariants.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that FP is bad, hell, I think that both paradigms are essential, they are not either-or choices.

I live in one of the west coast cities, and while I am fairly YIMBY and think new development is very important, I think the most impactful part of homelessness is not solved by the solution proposed by this article.

My take is that there is no societal framework to help people who have extreme mental disorders which cause them to act very dangerously and erratically. I think many in west coast cities are feeling increasingly unsafe walking around, which is making stricter approaches more palatable to local governments. But I think that feeling of danger is caused by people who (even by no fault of their own!) are actually dangerous to be around for mental health reasons. I think this is a topic we obviously avoid discussing frequently.

But I think it’s at the core of the homelessness crisis. Yes, absolutely we need cheap housing. Yes, we need good programs to help people get back on their feet.

But we also need to do something about severe mental health issues. (Hell, and even “minor” mental health issues.) It is simply not humane to allow someone to be a danger to themselves and others. And it’s especially not humane to just delegate them to the streets — which will never be sanitary or safe. So at a point, we will need to figure out as a society how to help these people, if we really want our streets to be cleaner and safer.

And that means putting someone in a clean, decent place with medication… but it also means forcing them to be there if they experience severe enough issues. This is a really difficult problem to talk about and solve in a humane way, but I don’t see how we get around it.
Toughness is how much energy something can take without breaking, e.g. the more weight you can put on a tabletop before it breaks in half, the tougher it is. The opposite of tough is brittle, if that makes more sense. Hardness is how much energy something can take without deforming, e.g. playdoh is not hard.

Well yes exactly.

That's kind of why I brought up the idea of clock errors.

Single leader distributed systems are honestly an entirely different paradigm to multi-leader. You have a main node, the main node controls routing and which data goes where.

There can only be one main node at one time, hence no latency/clock errors/multi leader fail-over/PAXOS/voting/stale keys/exotic application specific conflict resolution logic.

Done, simple.

(Secretly not so simple, all of the above problems are actually hugely important to resolve in any monolithic database. However, Postgres sorts it out for you.)

Really, what I am calling "distributed systems problems" are the subset with multiple simultaneous, geographically separate leaders.
> Data please? Have you been living under a rock?

> There are very intelligent people on HN, but this weird obsession with data and scholarly articles is honestly stupid. We're not talking about events that occurred 100 years ago, we are all living this right NOW!

I would just like to see data that supports what you propose in your original remarks. It doesn't have to be an encyclopedia of references. It's okay if there isn't data - I'll just assume you're sharing your opinion (which is totally cool as well of course).
What I've seen is that under memory pressure kernel tasks trying to evict or free pages to satisfy an allocation request can race with other tasks dirtying and filling pages even faster, especially via the buffer cache. This can induce patterns of lock contention on low-level VM data structures and flushing procedures that effectively behave like a deadlock. Eventually various loop limits and lock timeouts will help unstick things, but in the worst cases the system gets caught in higher order loops and I've seen systems lock up for minutes. The systems I've seen this on never had any swap.

Some of the heuristics designed to minimize pathological contention latency seem to implicitly assume that the swapping subsystem--both in its ability to help free space, and the latency it introduces when loading and evicting pages--will help mitigate the chance tasks will get caught in a tight contention loop. IOW, the I/O latency of swap effectively induces back pressure on load, helping operations freeing pages to progress faster than operations consuming pages. (Predictably, the faster your swap, the less well this works. When people began putting swap on SSDs, heuristics had to be retuned.)

Arguably the root of the problem is the legacy of overcommit. Even though it can be nominally disabled, many aspects of the kernel were designed with the notion that the only direction to move under memory pressure is forward, relying on the promise of the OOM killer eventually freeing up enough memory to maintain forward progress on the current operation, rather than unwinding and returning a failure condition. The dynamic seems similar to buffer bloat.
How would a Btrfs RAID1 array of (equally sized) spinning rust and SSDs work? Will it slow down to the speed of the HDD, or will I get SSD speeds and will the HDD eventually catch up? If not by default, then by option?
