Hehehe oh yeah, I almost forget about that because I stopped years ago bothering to actually make the tools into separate files that I start from the shell. It is more like Julia is my shell. I'll just have packages with common tools I use and launch them by calling functions from the REPL.

I'll just have packages for doing doing image file conversions in batch, modifying source code, changing configuration files etc.

Actually come to think about it, I used to have shell scripts in a pipeline to build an application for security. We had to obfuscate the source code and stuff like that. When I rewrote to Julia it all ran much faster. Even if there was a startup time, the workload was heavy enough that the higher performance of Julia easily outperformed bash.
None of those three points should warrant a mandate.

For the first point, I have some doubt as many covid infections go entirely undetected. If you don't have symptoms you don't get tested and don't end up a statistic. Even the CDC says it expects there have been 4x as many infections as reported.

For the next two, those aren't things which need government compelled vaccinations. You're taking a risk with your own health, I don't care if you take a risk and it kills you.

If hospitals aren't able to handle the wave of patients, put government weight behind staffing hospitals better and creating temporary hospitals for overflow.

The only metric that should require vaccination should be to prevent public spread, and then only if the risk to other people is beyond a threshold. It is pretty clear that omicron burned through populations regardless of vaccination status or previous infection. Forcing vaccinations could have lowered this rate a bit, but doubtfully enough to prevent everyone who was going to be exposed from being exposed anyway at a slightly later date.

If you're forcing vaccinations so somebody is more likely to get infected in March rather than January, it is not worth it or a justifiable action. That seems to be the situation with the current vaccine and current dominant variant. Infection is inevitable, short term delay is the only achievable goal, therefore mandates are no longer an acceptable use of government power. Omicron isn't in decline because people were smart or safe or did what they were told, it declined because it ran out of people to infect, vaccination rate didn't seem to significantly alter this pattern around the world except for when the peak happened and perhaps how wide and tall it was.
When I published this the stats were only current to February 6th, but they were updated after I posted with data up to the 13th. So my numbers above are going to be slightly off, but you can confirm them by changing the timeframe to end on the 6th.

Motor Vehicle Theft is now up by 0.3%.
The New York Times article linked by the parent comment said so:

> Leaked data said to be from the GiveSendGo crowdfunding platform, posted last night to a now-defunct web page by anonymous hackers, lists records of more than 92,000 donations totaling more than $8 million. A review of the data shows that some $4.3 million came from Canada, while another $3.6 million originated in the United States, though the United States accounted for the most individual donations. Small donations from dozens of other countries made up a fraction of the total amount raised.

When protests were happening in India this is what Trudeau had to say:

"Let me remind you, Canada will always be there to defend the rights of peaceful protesters. We believe in the process of dialogue. We’ve reached out through multiple means to the Indian authorities to highlight our concerns. This is a moment for all of us to pull together,"Justin Trudeau said.

https://indianexpress.com/article/india/situation-is-concern...
Smallpox was actually deadly though. If Covid had the death rate of Smallpox then everyone would have gotten a vaccine. That's the end of the discussion. If your neighbor is bleeding from their eyes (Ebola) then people will take the vaccine. The reason Covid is different is because most people have to be reminded every day that it even exists, take a test every-time they sniffle to get diagnosed. So you can imagine vaccine uptick is just going to be less. It's a fact of life. The connection just isn't there.

No they didn't.
I wasn't attempting to negate what you said, merely commenting on the inadequacies of a government that rigid.

I think protesting is not only valid, but necessary to keep centralized powers from growing too complacent. The growth of freedom globally and the birth of democracy was not on the back of elections or playing by the rules defined by the class of people in centralized power.

and obviously Canada's democracy has begun to erode if their leader is calling for a state of emergency completely bypassing the democratic process using old laws meant only to be enacted in extreme circumstances...certainly not to punish protests that have at worst blocked major roads for days - all the critical roads of which have already been cleared.

That'd make sense if they were only freezing the funds that were received from outside the country, but according to the article they're freezing the accounts of "anyone linked with the protests".
This is a very sad day to be Canadian, I'm worried it's only going to get much sadder.
When a section of Indian farmers imposed similar blockades on Indian highways, Trudeau was shilling their "right to protest" to pander to his Sikh voters. This despite the fact that the Indian protests were far from peaceful - devolving into riots[1], and the protest sites being venues for rapes[2] and gruesome murders[3,4]. With peaceful protests in his own backyard, Trudeau has forced private organisations to block their funding, imposed emergency and called out the army. Hypocrisy at its finest.

> but as can be seen with variants (and how Omicron clearly wiped out Delta by overcompeting it) evolution of viruses absolutely does not need thousands or millions of years.

Yes. I included thousands of years to accommodate the co-evolution of both the pathogen and the host, which, obviously, evolves at a much slower rate.

And since you mention how omicron wiped out delta, hadn't delta in its turn wiped out alpha, while being (I don't remember, was there a consensus on this?) a more dangerous variant?
Mercurial had its own GitHub, though. Was it bitbucket? I don’t remember, but it had an equivalent, I think. I really think Linux and performance was a key factor.

Edit: I preferred hg, too, for the record.
That is not true. I was there. The film that was nearly lost was being made at Pixar. There was never any version of TS2 made by anyone else. I think this idea may come from the fact that Disney owned the Toy Story characters and if Pixar had later gone with another partner studio, it would be Disney making Toy Story movies, not Pixar. This was a major motivator for Pixar to stay with Disney.
Ligature is a optional feature, first the editor need to support them, but I guess most editors nowadays already support that. JetBrains IDEs come with JetBrains mono and with ligatures enabled, last time I used VScode I had to enable manually for my new font.
Thank you, it was an interesting read. Despite my enjoyment for introspection, I'm hesitant to do self-diagnosis based on a Wikipedia and a few articles around the Internet. But, as far as I can tell, this is just me being an introvert guy who spent most of his life in front of a computer instead of socializing. I'm, however, aware of my issues and slowly becoming a better person, or rather a person I'd like to be. In this particular case, I don't think that knowing the name of my supposed diagnosis would help me in any way.
I've watched 40 hours of multiple live streams at night and in the morning, it is peaceful. I have gone to events myself and it was peaceful. A lot of families brought kids there, doubt you'd see so many children if it was not peaceful.
> Most thefts (robbery, etc) are not reported now because people know police don't care

Underreporting has always been an issue with crime data [1], but the change in the Larceny rate doesn't seem like it's caused by an increase in underreporting. The change in reported Larceny from 2020 seems fairly correlated with COVID restrictions.

Here is the monthly Y/Y change in Larceny Theft Reported incidents for SF, for each month in 2020 vs. 2019:

Jan: +15.7%
Feb: +5.4%
March: -28.7% (SF Shelter In Place)
April: -47.1%
May: -45.6%
June: -48.9%
July: -51.8%
August: -50.1%
September: -54.5%
October: -54.9%
November: -39.2%
December: -46.7%

Larceny did go up in 2021, especially at the end of the year when COVID restrictions started to lift, but is still down ~20% relative to 2019. Other crimes went up in 2020, but then decreased or flattened in 2021.

I think you may have a point about Larceny being encountered more, especially with foot traffic + tourism way down in many SF neighborhoods. I'm not sure how exactly to use Open Table reservations as a proxy for that, so it's hard to say whether it's relatively up or relatively down.

You keep giving them the benefit of the doubt, without any logical reason to. They have taken more and more rights away and used divisive strategies to do it at every step.

We are going onto the third year of emergency measures. The government's response to people protesting their emergency measures is to double down with even more emergency measures. The Truck drivers that are currently protesting did so because their ability to feed their family was taken away from them.
These are middle aged men with families, with no easily transferable skills. Yesterday was the truck drivers, next day might be you. Don't wake up one day when the boot is crushing your balls. At least be honest with yourself, and make a line beyond which you will not retreat.
> if hypothetically, say, the virus had selective lethality

It might depend on how selective the lethality is! If a small population is vulnerable then I don't have a problem with them protecting themself to the best of their own abilities (no mandates). This is fairly common already with the immunocompromised etc.

If a large portion of the population is vulnerable then it becomes more grey. I'm pretty uncomfortable with there being a large amount of preventable suffering but intellectually my brain wants to take a long term view. The best possible society in the future seems like one where humans have stronger immune systems and take fewer vaccinations, not more. Is this something we can evolve towards? Is my poor knowledge of biology leading me astray? Who knows!

Given I know nothing I'm happy to fall back onto the distributed decision making apparatus (individual choice).
Due to layout, there was a line break for me at the end of “Trudeau vows to freeze anti-mandate protesters” which, given that it’s Canada in the winter, seemed eminently plausible, if a little bit cruel.
Once again, I'm not saying that space exploration isn't worthwhile - just that Elon Musk talks about it like getting established on Mars avoids a significant x-risk, where the most obvious x-risk right now is climate change. If he just said "because space exploration is cool and also advances science" then I wouldn't be critical because it wouldn't be a specious argument.

I actually rather like SpaceX but I don't like x-risk arguments from Elon the same way I don't like rationalists freaking out about AI alignment: it's such a far out risk compared to the actual one we are facing (climate change), and they wilfully ignore it because their ideology (libertarianism) has no means to address it.

In JetBrain products: Preferences -> Editor -> Font -> Enable ligatures

So you can turn them off even in fonts that have them, but most fonts have separate versions with and without anyway.
The difference is in jurisdictional authority? Inner-provincial policy is mandated by the Ontario government and does not enter into federal politics.

As to scientific or not science, the science is in. Vaccines reduce the spread and severity of COVID and governments generally attempt to mitigate the risk of dangerous things happening to their people needlessly. Why are mandates constantly changing? Look to the knowledge available to the decision makers when they set policy. Most governments try to thread the needle between positive economic and health outcomes, but to be sure, nobody know the right answer. All decisions have consequences.
For this font, but there are several other dev fonts with ligatures.

Admittedly that group of 11 people weren’t protesting peacefully, but one group acting in concert doesn’t indict the wider movement.

On the scope of major protests in the last several decades in western democracies, this one definitely is about as close to the “peaceful” extreme as any have been.

As a society, we should also strive for fairness in our rhetoric. It betrays our credibility to describe a riot which leaves a city in ashes as “mostly peaceful protest” simply because we agree with the cause and then to characterize these protests as “violent” because we don’t agree with them.
So a consistent view is to be anti-civil forfeiture and anti-freezing bank accounts. I think that’s largely the sentiment expressed here.
Centrist by definition or by some objective measure? In the U.S. for example, the "center" is quite conservative compared to some other western nations.

If people could vote as they truly wanted without fear of throwing away their votes, the center would almost certainly move.

As to the back and forth between two major parties, that's hardly surprising. I'm not sure that indicates much in terms of what people actually want.

Ask HN: How you would redesign a web browser?
HTML is a markup language for documents and CSS and JavaScript are here just to give some help.

But now days people are using HTML/CSS/JavaScript for shipping complex apps not pages. And not only that but people build asm.js in order to ship even more complex things in a browser which is not a bad thing but it feels like having a hammer and hitting stuff.

Lets assume that we will allow all this technology to die.

How you would redesign a system that allows people to access complicated apps from a web browser?

Which parts you would keep and which parts you would through away?
Another way of saying this is you only support the right to protest if it’s a cause you support.
> Serious question though, which applies to both the Canadian truckers case and the Minneapolis example above - does a right to protest an issue also include a right to inflict economic harm (on broader society, in poorly-targeted fashion) in order to raise awareness?

Almost unexceptionally yes?

I'm actually having a hard time thinking of historic protests which didn't inflict economic harm.
Shameless self promotion: I wrote one of the more cited papers in the field [0], back in 2016.

A key challenge: very few labs have enough data.

Something I view as a key insight: a lot of labs are doing absurdly labor intensive exploratory synthesis without clear hypotheses guiding their work. One of our more useful tasks turned out to be interactively helping scientists refine their experiments before running them.

Another was helping scientists develop hypotheses for _why_ reactions were occuring, because they hadn't been able to build principled models that predicted which properties were predictive of reaction formation.

Going all the way to synthesis is nice, but there's a lot of lower hanging fruit involved in making scientists more effective.

Here is a YouTube channel that has been doing extended livestreams from the ground with both protestors and counter-protestors: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzGiDDKdphJ0GFvEd82WfYQ/vid...

As I wrote elsewhere in this thread [1], I recommend taking a look at this channel or other extended livestreams to get a view from the ground if your impression of this event has been mostly shaped by articles. That recommendation goes for all major protests, especially if you think you disagree with the people protesting.

> such as 4k 24" replacing everyone's 1080p 24"

The problem is the prevalence of 1080p. 1440p on 24" becomes 'retina' at 28" viewing distance (vs 37" for 1080p and 19" for 4k). Grayscale anti-aliasing at that pixel density is really good, gaining you a few inches of viewing distance. I would personally like to see something commonly available between 1440p and 4K (the jump in resolution is abnormally significant).

If you've worked on a high refresh rate it's also really hard to drop down and, currently, it's still mostly a choice given the bandwidth and compute requirements. The difference between 60Hz and 144Hz is like the difference between 480p and 1080p, even for tasks like text editing. 60Hz is fucking awful.
