My government is still talking about mandating vaccinations. I am boostered already but if they really implement it I am not sure what to do, I will certainly not comply with any additional vaccines that hold for 1-2 months. I don't want the shitty Euro passport or app either. To me it is very well a mass psychosis. Sure, Covid is a serious disease, getting vaccinated might make sense, especially if you are older. But the fear around it is just pathological at this point. Covid is a PR problem instead of a health problem by now.

Get your vaccine turbo and afterburner for all I care, but this already moved beyond ridiculous. I am very sure my easily scared country will need a long time to drop mask mandates.

I agree, but the problem is that when you refer an object inside a hook, the eslint exhaustive deps will tell you to add that object as a dependency. In that example, it's easily solved with destructuring `const teamId = params`, but a lot of developers will blindly follow the eslint complaint.

The dealbreaker for me is that Snap is hard to disable (across updates), and somehow Snap apps have a tendency of sneaking into my installs. Even when there's a non-snap alternative. But I can always tell when I load up the app and the fonts and scaling are total garbage.
Personally I'm waiting for a report showing that Google still swipes the location in some ways even when ‘location history’ and whatever the other toggle is, are both turned off. Because of course they do.

Reminder: US police use Google as a database of people who were at a particular place at a certain time. Of which people by definition most aren't subjects of investigation: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/13/technology/google-sensorv...
The comment above states a fact. You throw it away as meaningless, and claim that only your opinion matters. Never change internet.
For US college education to collapse, a bunch of other things are going to have to collapse, too.

The crisis in US college education is a crisis of elite overproduction, along with a concurrent increase in economic inequality and the disappearance of the middle class. A college education is a requirement to enter or stay in the professional-managerial class (PMC), and avoid the increasing immiseration of the working class in the US. That's why people are willing to spend so much money on it. The problem is that the PMC is shrinking as their jobs are gradually eliminated and replaced with proletarianized ones: doctors with nurse practitioners and PAs, tenured professors with adjuncts. So the higher education system is overproducing PMC candidates who will either never work in their field, or will work in its non-PMC roles, and struggle to pay off the debt on a gamble that didn't work out. This, of course, makes PMC parents desperate to get their children into elite colleges, to make them competitive for the declining slots. This is, of course, over time, a losing strategy, but it's one that is short-sightedly rational.

I don't think we're actually going to see a decline in credentialism, as @sama suggests is going on. I expect it to intensify, if anything. For the education pyramid scheme to collapse, there will have to be a fundamental reorientation of the economy and power structures in the US, which is to say, a collapse thereof.
And all my friends in Austin resumed their normal fun lives a while ago, and all of them I know that got covid have recovered perfectly fine. Funny how anecdotes work. Statistically, living in a blue state vs a red state didn’t protect anyone from covid.
https://github.com/seattlerb/minitest really removed the FUD for me when i started learning Ruby and Rails. Its full of metaprogramming and fancy tricks but is also quite small, practical and informal in its style.

e.g. "assert_equal" is really just "expected == actual" at it's core but it uses both both a block param (a kind of closure) for composing a default message and calls "diff" which is a dumb wrapper around the system "diff" utility (horrors!). There is even some evolved nastiness in there for an API change that uses the existing assert/refute logic to raise an informative message. this is handled with a simple if and not some sort of complex hard-to-follow factory pattern or dependency injection misuse.

Vulcan did not exist when Apple shipped Metal. If it had I think there is a good chance they would have adopted it but we'll never know for sure.
It's not really a great argument. Languages are always evolving, so there's always a need to update the system by ingesting new inputs. Even natural general intelligences, aka us humans, learn by repeatedly ingesting the new inputs and perhaps supplementary data, like an explanation from a friend or maybe urbandictionary.

EDIT: As an example, how much time is dedicated in schools to explaining turns of phrase and such in Shakespeare. Who at least was writing Modern English. Go back to Chaucer and good luck...
Yes there are models that are trained on hundreds of GPUs but from my limited experience in scientific computing, most of the time researchers run their programs on a single node because going multi-gpu or multi-cpu requires somewhat large code changes and a single node is "good enough" for their use case or they come from a heavy science background and don't even know how to utilize multi node architecture. Their main benefit from using a cluster is 100% uptime, large storage, and large memory. I've been to multiple research institutes where there is an institute-wide HPC and researchers share it, that way no one needs any kind of high end computer and can just connect to the cluster.
This service can help in that area if researchers can somehow schedule a job from their low-end laptop and get the results when the job is done.
That API finds my username. Your page still shows it as available :)
Even if you’ve made millions gambling on cryptocurrency, you are likely not among the “unfathomably rich” group mentioned here. And if you look at the crypto-wealth-to-owner-race data we know so far, it should become quite clear that white men hold the vast majority of the overall stake. So, same old story, even though (to many promoters) crypto was going to make the world a better, fairer, less corrupt, and more egalitarian place.

Have some, or even many, non-whites like yourself earned some wealth resulting from crypto gambling? Sure. But that’s not the point they’re making.
Sadly, it's https. So a lot of older computers that still live and breathe off of sites like this (see: 68k.news) can't access it due to the bizarre (or Google pressured) security certificate ... for a sports scores site.
If restrictions don’t effect your quality of life then good for you, but that’s clearly not true for many many people.
You're missing the point of the parent comment: GPT-3 can understand this idiom because it was trained on a corpus in which the context for this idiom already existed. If a new idiom would emerge, the system would not necessarily be able to handle it if it can not understand it from the context it was trained on. Therefore, a translating AI needs to be continuously updated.
Ask HN: Any good resources for structuring proprietary forks of open source?
I'm getting started adding some proprietary extensions to a project of mine and I'm trying to find any best practices from existing companies that do open-core where the core is a meaningful application and OSS developers hack on it.

From what I've read about Gitlab I do NOT want to do it that way. I believe they had two completely separate projects that were developed independently for open-source and proprietary.

I'm just looking for any reading to help avoid mistakes. Maybe companies follow a purely dynamic extension method. Maybe they solely keep diffs around (that sounds crazy). I don't know.

Any pointers to read about would be welcome!
slocount's implementation certainly isn't the standard. It hasn't been updated in almost 2 decades and doesn't support counting LOC of any modern languages. I imagine HTML was ignored by default because it would be used for documentation instead of markdown back then. It's now very common to render UI with HTML & CSS, and I would certainly include any UI work as code.

A friend of mine was taking Akkadian or Sumerian (I can’t remember which) and described the wide range of possible correct translations of a text with a story from class.

One student said it was a receipt for the sale of a cow. The prof said that was one real possibility. Another said it was a love poem. Prof agreed again. :shrug:

But my favorite translation disagreement is from the Epic of Gilgamesh, I think, where one man insists the proper translation of a line is “the lords of the land of the blazing rockets.”
The million-dollar question now is how it managed to recover after plummeting 2/3 its altitude, only to do so again shortly after? That shows that it was still operable and could aviate, and opens up many more questions.

>It's far better to wait for the NTSB accident report...

You seem to be measuring "better" in terms of "not saying things that may become obviously false as more information becomes available with time".

Many internet commenters measure better in terms of how many internet virtue points they get, hence all the completely baseless speculation you get on literally any developing news story. I'm sure those people disagree with my assessment but their actions tell a different story.
How do you go about understanding code of a database system like MySQL/Postgres?
I always wonder since the code of database system is vast, how does once go about understanding it and start contributing to it.

Yes. It would be interesting to know, what would rise us above the 99 monkeys herd.
And it's even nicer that you get the chance to see it !
Indeed. Quite a lot of Chinese slave labor was used.
Consider:

There is an uncreated God who is self-existent and immutable. He has no end or beginning and contains within Himself fullness of being. From him all things derive their being. He doesn't "exist", he just *is*; that is, His being is underived. Everything else derives their existence from Him. There has never been a time when he has not been, because he is self-existent apart from time; time itself is something He has made. So there wasn't "story prior"; there was just God. This is the God that Christians worship, who added to his eternal nature the nature of a man in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus testified to this, saying: "Before Abraham and Isaac were, I AM."

The contractors only need to worry about the contract price, which we arrive at through a market bidding procedure before the project.

What happens in reality is that contractors offer unrealistic prices to get the contract; and when the project fails they demand more time and money in order to complete. Government officials usually agree in order to save face and avoid public fiascos.

You could run it in a VM and see what changes are made. Given that Jotti by and large says it is benign (very few positive results), it's probably okay. Such trojan flagging as you see here is frequently a result of binary compression or packing.
No matter how many words we waste, you will still be the guy complaining about your job being a waste of time while simultaneously trying to defend the decisions causing you to waste your time.

Does that just mean it writes a line so light and fine that it's basically invisible?

I'm sure there are uses for that, but it sounds like most people would find it (ahem) pointless.
Selling - in fact, I'd argue it is more valuable than coding as it can be transferred to any domain whether you are selling a product or yourself.
Night Shifts: Can technology shape our dreams?
I don't think the Vulcan/Metal comparison is useful here. Metal shipped before Vulcan so it was never an option for Apple. The case of AV1 is different.
This is well due and I hope they are successful in their claim.
Never. There's always something to learn from others of all ages. I try to always keep a "beginner's mind" for everything I do.
Terraform vs AWS CloudFormation
Desktop has been in an absolutely terrible state of affairs for a decade.

Windows with the two-desktop tablet/old desktop dual state of affairs.

OSX basically ignored/abandoned by Apple because iPhones were where the money was, closed expensive hardware, and have fun using hotkeys when switching between OSX and Windows/Linux.

And constant constant constant rewrite churn in Linux land. If it wasn't KDE and Gnome doing total rewrites, it's Wayland and other "guts" being totally rewritten.

PC laptops being stuck several generations behind in port support, display, technology, efficiency.

Thank god all the web "trendy material design" didn't introduce a half-dozen other waves of disruption. Just one or two.

Well, I suppose it's like C++ quote: there are two types of UIs: those people complain about and those that don't get used. But I do feel desktop has completely stagnated and it has been a lost decade of deck chair rearrangement.
Quit playing a victim and misdirecting/mischaracterising the points I wrote about.

This isn't about "exploring a UI paradigm", this is about users of the other DEs actually being treated badly by the Gnome/Gtk developers. The criticism will continue until they adopt the mindset that is prevalent in the F/OSS community and stop offloading their externalities, so that a user's choice of an opinionated DE does not negatively affect another user's choice of a configurable DE.
I wonder what a Sumerian bar was like. Also, they must have had pretty lax public health rules if they let dogs go in. I can't take my dog to my local coffee shop!
Passwords are even less random than sensible texts - the whole discussion around rainbow tables and salting is normally about cracking passwords.

But do you disagree with my claims? Do you have any sources to backup their invalidity?
That last assertion is beyond hysterical.

They claim 2-4x crypto revenues, and crypto revenues are basically break even now right?
Honestly I don't get it, why something like this is allowed to say. Sounds kind of spreading hate. Especially, I would bet the statement is false.
I disagree about discounting "soft skills". As a hiring manager I look for people who can demonstrate the ability to solve problems with code for sure, but equally important is the ability to understand the problem and communicate it from/to lay persons.

That's nonsense and you know it. If you really want to use plain-text web access you can run a local decryption proxy outside of your low-power old computers and use them as if it's 1989.
SI doesn't prescribe that you have to use a single unit for all measurements. Are distance in meters or kilometers? Weights in kilograms or grams?

I assume you always just use the base units? kg, m, s, etc.? (I always think it odd that kilogram is the base.) I feel like could get weighty for some applications of a different scales when milligrams, millimeters, kilometers, days, etc. could be clearer. And even if you use "standard" units, if you aren't clear about what standard you use and what that makes that units, people won't always guess the correct option.
You're not really oversimplifying. RPA is duct tape for situations where it's drastically cheaper to automate personnel doing repetitive tasks out of work and have a fraction of the original team supervise a fleet of(rather persnickety) 'bots' that insert keystrokes and clicks in a legacy application, as opposed to building proper systems integrations or rebuilding the underlying legacy app entirely.

I understand the niche, but I don't particularly care for it. It's an enabler for shortsighted, 'keep the lights on but cut costs and corners' operating strategies that usually go hand-in-hand with technical debt accumulation and brain drain.
It seems unlikely to me as well. There has to be something more to it than that. Maybe they were threatened to be taken to court anyway if they said anything else about the cease and desist letter.
EDIT: 20 liters, of course.
Oh, yes. You can push some small predetermined change like that through, or something else that doesn't require codebase knowledge. Although that is a thinly veiled test of your knowledge of the build process, in the same way "find a dog" is a made up thing to do for an internal directory tool.
Could a vaccine prevent type 1 diabetes?
I have thought for many years that "auto-immune disease" was a cop-out versus looking for the root cause. After developing Asthma at 35, after a "common" cold, viruses were top of my list as potential candidates because they alter cellular DNA in the course of being viruses. Nice to see investigations in that direction show some promise. (Disclaimer: medical layman)
Let us not think Vitalik was some sort of saint. Etherium was launched with a massive premine which the developers awarded themselves a sizable chunk of the supply before the network even came online. Not only was this pretty scammy in of itself, it also legitimized future shitcoins having similar amounts of premine
Just wanted to note that this is not my creation. I found this randomly linked on Twitter. I tried some but could not find the original creator.
One small suggestion, consider using tcpdump on your router to make sure LS is really stopping everything. Apple and Microsoft wised up to this some time ago and some things hook in the network stack after the application firewalls. If you spot something please report it to the Little Snitch developers.

The amount of data captured by tcpdump can be minimized by only capturing syn/fin/rst packets assuming proto 6 tcp.

'tcp[tcpflags] & (tcp-syn|tcp-fin|tcp-rst) != 0'

And if capturing to a file one can also limit the total number of packets captured with

-c 1000

This may be useful if you are also capturing proto 17 udp.
YouTube is the service that's most difficult to replace. Nebula is a paid-for alternative that's good, but it doesn't have nearly the number of content creators.
Hard choice man. I went to a private engineering school and graduated with ~80k of debt. Paid it off in 4 years after graduation - no regrets about going there. I was not highly motivated or focused on what I wanted to do when I was 18 so I didn't try to really do more than what came easy. If I had to do it again with what I know now and I had the choice to go to MIT, I 100% would. You can also work/find scholarships/etc. during your studies to finance it. I would have been in over 140k if I didn't do anything on the side.

Unsure of Orwell's feelings, but Humphrey Carpenter wrote that Tolkien suffered from Gallophobia (the root is Gaul), a hatred of all things French.

Apart from the "snapd" debacle I agree :)
No it’s not true, it was sarcasm.
> I think this is fun and clever, but I also prefer to maintain boring and simple code… I’m worried that hooks ramps up trivial complexity too much in exchange for often-unneeded power.

I've been in and out of the React world for the last 5 years, and this statement hit hard for me. Between the major shifts in best practices, the abstractions on top abstractions and constantly tripping up on the slight syntax differences between JSX and markup, so many commercial React apps I've worked on make me want to pull my hair out, and not just because of hooks.

In hindsight, the virtual DOM hype has not lived up to expectations, and I find newer frameworks like Svelte to be so much easier to work with. With the amount of React code running today, it's hard to see a future without it, but I'm so ready for it to be supplanted by something simpler.
I think without knowing Z, it’s hard to give advice.

I assume Z is a public school that’s at least decent in Computer Science? If Z was on the level of UT Austin or University of Maryland, College Park, then going to MIT is a no brainer.

However, if Z is Berkeley, then that’s a much tougher decision and I might lean towards Berkeley.
