I think it depends whether you consider me making a model in my head of how things are supposed to fit together a "derivative work," which I don't. The codebases are vastly different, and it's clear in certain places that kafka-python has taken inspiration from librdkafka (2-clause BSD license), and that both have similarly taken inspiration from the Java client (Apache 2), which makes complete sense to me since the docs are insufficient for building a client, as I mentioned in my OP.
Laura Waller – Computational Microscopy
A lot of environments aren't amenable to scripting (i.e. involved GUI tools, or multiple disconnected systems), and a lot of processes need manual monitoring steps or multiple fallback contingencies that are hard to codify into a machine-executable script.

There may also be security processes (server resides in a hardened facility and someone with clearance needs to physically walk into the SCIF to initiate), or business processes (exec+comms+legal teams need to sign-off on the exact launch timing for a signature feature) that are tangled up in your checklist.
Computational imaging involves the joint design of imaging system hardware and software, optimizing the entire pipeline from acquisition to reconstruction. Computers can replace bulky and expensive optics by solving computational inverse problems that reconstruct images from scattered light.

In this talk, Laura Waller will describe new microscopes that use computational imaging to enable 3D aberration and phase measurement using simple hardware that is easily adoptable combined with advanced image reconstruction algorithms based on large-scale optimization and learning.
I'm in Ireland and have cousins who are dairy farmers. Whenever we went on holidays there were two types of milk in the fridge, bought pasteurised and homogenised milk and milk straight from the parlour. The milk from the parlour had a thick layer of cream on top and was amazing on cereal. I have also seen my cousin squirt milk straight from the cow like a water pistol into his mouth. We never got sick but the standards for cow welfare and milking parlour hygiene are very high. Milk is chilled immediately after milking in a stainless steel tank and that tank is sterilised every time the milk is collected.

I honestly don't know. I mean i routinely see so many GPL violations too and all i had to do was grep the binaries/update packages for strings like GPL.

All i can tell you is most of the small-medium sized companies i worked for over the last few years are still using the very old and outdated Qt 5.6 just to avoid the newer LGPLv3 license. In fact i haven't heard of anyone who purchased a Qt Commercial license to date.

That was useful. Just as I got to that stage in the paper I was thinking, "well yeah but in a pandemic/emergency there's some value of people just being clear and not muddying the water" and that framework was useful to think about how to get the best result.

Which countries are better at it? The UK has very little (if any) greenfield development opportunities left. You really have to keep things in context. This is a tunnel under London, not some viaduct across bare meadows. One thing you learn in engineering before long is the enormous cost of existing development/infrastructure. You can't always wipe the slate clean and start again even if we'd all like to sometimes.

I can only speak to the NZ dairy industry but, milk is tested... a lot. If if doesn't meet standards set by the dairy company then the farmer doesn't get paid. Even worse, if bad milk causes milk from other farms to get dumped (milk from many farms in one milk tanker) then the dairy company can fine them for that too.

Farms are businesses and the dairy industry is an industry. Food safety is taken seriously, at least where I live.
And the linked photo “Dark at the beginning of the tunnel” is a 404.
I have a generic pair of the same design that I keep on my desk. For me, the benefits of using them during the day are:

1. Keeping a 35 year old wrist injury at bay. Even just a few squeezes during the day “unlocks” my wrist which otherwise gets tight from a day of typing.

2. Helping me stay focused during long video calls. If I’m squeezing them in both hands I can’t be wandering over to sites like HN.
Why are you not worried about the unknown unknowns in literally any other area? Like, using microwave ovens, having TV broadcast signals, or wearing silk?

Personally I'm reasonably confident that any significant adverse health effect would have been found by experiments by now, so Bayesian reasoning tells me any unknowns that are still unknown are probably negligible.

No, you misunderstand.

They need so many satellites that using higher orbits would quickly guarantee Kessler syndrome. Instead they orbit low enough to require significant fuel simply to maintain orbit. These low orbits also allow individual Starlink satellites to be less than 1/10th the mass of normal communication satellites at ~260kg.
In Western countries and in Asia, fertility rates are pretty (edit: low) these days. I fear they would collapse with the introduction of a male fertility pill.

In some sense, maybe that's not bad. The world is probably overpopulated. But if fertility drops too fast it creates real demographics problems in that few young people need to support many old people.
Sure, but it shouldnt have been a surprise to anyone paying attention.

I dont attempt to detract from your comment, as its spot on as well.

I feel that this use of the imperative mood and the brusque, flippant dismissal of OP’s rare and interesting experiences are not just unjustified but do HN a disservice.

If you have enough encounters with the medical system, you quickly learn that human bodies are actually insanely high variance and ridiculously poorly understood. The knowledge frontier is wide but super shallow. Gut bacteria. Epigenetics. Rare mutations. Differences in tolerances and sensitivities. WEIRD. Interactions of multiple conditions.

OP is sharing work that obviously requires a baseline of high intelligence, plus his empirical observations. Writing this off as all just being in his head seems insulting in context.

I also want to point out that of course dead bacteria can harm you! Would you eat pasteurized feces, or month old raw meat? Bacteria excrete waste products which are known to be toxic to humans, e.g. cereulide. Plus heat resistant endospores, e.g. botulism. And FYI there are a ton of known bioactive plus heat sensitive organic compounds in food.

Please adjust your own priors a bit towards open-mindedness and intellectual humility - people here are as smart as you are. Shutting others down like this discourages them from sharing frontier knowledge with us.

That's useful, it is a way to cristalize experience. Experience comes at a high cost, learning through experimentation, and extracting lessons seems a good way. However the day the environment and circumstances change, past experience might become obsolete, that's when young people have an edge and the fresh blood replaces the old one (that's a society feature, not an individual "bug").

I would totally support a system like that, something in the lines of knowledge database like some companies have (forums and Q&A).

Space junk isn't really a concern at any of the orbits spacex uses. They only talk about it because this anti space junk launch plan happens to be the cheapest, and it distracts from other environmental issues they don't look so good in.

There is Trestolone which is studied and shown to be very effective (patients had zero sperm in their ejaculate after several months of administering the compound), but there are hormonal side effects similar to testosterone, which kind of explains why it's pretty much only used in the bodybuilding community.

Why? That would only be the case if a significant number of pregnancies is unwanted.

We should do everything to stop any unwanted pregnancies, and then add incentives and aid for everybody who wants to have kids (e.g. parental leave, free daycare, and so on).
Heathrow to Paddington is effectively already open (and has been for some time) - the existing service that’s branded as “TfL Rail” is the precursor to the “Elizabeth Line” branded service, using the same train and track. The same applies to Reading to Paddington.

After the Paddington to Abbey Wood service settles down most of the Heathrow and Reading services will start to run through the tunnels as well, and that becomes the full service.

As a Swede I do not agree with a lot of what was said in this paper, much seems to be more of an opion than fact. This is a clear poltical subject, as you often see when this is discussed on American forums, it's very hard to talk about these ideas without getting into us vs. them. The hardest part of all this pandemic was that it was so easy to say the wrong thing and getting judged unless you were among people that actually cared about what you were saying.

EDIT removed opinions that still can not be discussed in a sane manner.
You don't provide any argument for why you like GMO food here. What bothers you so much about food?
Oral contraceptives are not as comfortable and easy to use as condoms, which are available everywhere. Taking drugs just to avoid pregnacy would be an alternative probably for people in relationships (instead of sometimes problematic womens contraceptives) and for people doing a lot of casual sex (who probably already use condoms/woman are on hormonal contraception).
It intentionally upsets people without actually adding to your argument. That sounds like trolling to me, which is not what we are going for here.
I love build systems and have tried many of them. Redo is fun to play with. It is really easy to understand.

There is some messy reality that causes redo the struggle. For instance it doesn't natively support a single command that produces multiple build targets. You end up needing workarounds. I also find that redo starts to feel like Rails where your logic is spread around is many little files. Each file is easy to understand, but it takes a while to build the full picture.
GMO, as a technique, is not inherently bad. However, one common use case is to create pesticide resistant plants, which allows for higher pesticide usage, especially as resistance develops to the pesticide increases: https://enveurope.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/2190-471...

Basically, if you’re fine with your kids ingesting higher levels of pesticides, then go for it!

Ohhh.. "groundbreaking" is used as a noun. I would write that as "ground breaking". "Groundbreaking" is an adjective.

There are 230 billion tonnes of Lithium in sea water, and it constitutes .002 percent pf the Earth's crust. It is very common, and widely available in economically viable concentrations.

The concerns are building new mines and extraction plants fast enough to meet during demand, and the environmental damage from doing so. There are no concerns about running out.

This infers that young left is a unified in its belief on this, which is demonstrably untrue.

If memory serves, it reuses the OS default web view and any "backend" or system things are done in Rust.
"The decision to provide end-of-life care to many older adults is highly questionable; very few elderly have been hospitalised for COVID-19. Appropriate (potentially life-saving) treatment was withheld without medical examination, and without informing the patient or his/her family or asking permission. [...] there was only limited public outcry in Sweden when this came out, the common narrative being that those in care homes are expected to die soon anyway. [...] Many elderly people were administered morphine instead of oxygen despite available supplies, effectively ending their lives."

This is quite shocking. I didn't think this would be possible in a country like Sweden.

American oil peaked and then declined almost exactly as expected, and only saw a second growth phase when a new category of resources became exploitable.

IMO, given the scale of everything in the USA, it’s more luck than anything else that the world is getting sufficiently cheap renewables and batteries on the right schedule to avoid peak oil actually harming civilisation in general and the USA catastrophically — the principle is a valid one, and in a hypothetical alternative world where global reserves had been half what they were, American rural areas would have had a much harder time than European equivalents adapting to electric power and long distance transport in the 70s.
