Immunity is not a binary condition. It's not as if immunity, whether produced by vaccination or recovery from infection, lasts a certain period and then stops. While I would encourage everyone eligible to protect themselves by getting vaccinated, all the scientific evidence we have from similar viruses indicates that recovery from infection produces a significant level of cellular immunity lasting as long as the patient's immune system remains basically healthy. Concerns about waning immunity were mainly based on antibody levels, but of course those aren't very important.

A large part of the issue is that it is now your job. Instead of doing whatever you want, you do what you need to do, or even worse what your customer or boss tells you what to do.

I love dancing, and I love teaching dancing. But as a job, it really sucks. Customers and bosses ruin everything. At least with tech, the job pays well, unlike teaching dance.

Photos Show Abandoned Gray Rocks Ski Resort
Grey Rocks ski resort was Quebec’s first ski hill and was once the ski capital of the Laurentian Mountains. Gray Rocks was founded in 1905 by George Wheeler, an American from New Hampshire who arrived in the region in 1894 as a lumberjack.

Gray Rocks was a tiny mountain with only a few hundred vertical feet of intermediate terrain. Yet for decades, it was a favorite in ski school surveys. Grey Rocks made a name for itself thanks to its ski centre, its hotel establishment, and its famous Snow Eagle ski school.
It may be short term, but it's probably as long or longer than the immunity from the vaccine.

That's an argument for scheduling repeat vaccinations... but it needs to be looked at in the context of a lifetime. A recurring shot every year or few years may be feasible. Every three months is not.
This was probably the most surprising thing about working at a FAANG company (although in hindsight it shouldn't have been). What, you all don't use Jenkins, JIRA, Spring, insert-OSS-or-other-well-known-tool-here and instead have all this crazy internal stuff I've never heard of?
An interesting thing in those numbers is that Ukraine captured more Russian vehicles than the ones that they lost.

>Making claims without evidence, especially pretending you have expertise when you do so, decreases the signal to noise ratio on HN.

>And yes, it's exhausting to watch. I wish we would hold each other to a higher standard.

Fair enough; I guess I'm just not as bothered by the misinformation (which seems to be synonymous with "information that's inconvenient to some authority") boogeyman as you are. When I see a claim online that I find interesting I will usually do a bit of research into the topic on my own. If I discover that the comment was incorrect, I may go back and downvote it, but I've still learned something, even though the original claim was wrong. If we had it your way, and no one without a PhD in a field was allowed to talk about things in that field, or every reply to every comment was "do you have a source for that?" with nothing else, this would be a pretty boring place!

Don't you ever see a comment that you just know is wrong but wonder "how could anyone believe this?" I watched a couple flat earth videos once because I just didn't get it. Of course, it becomes pretty obvious it's complete nonsense after just a few minutes, but at least now I have the ability to say "you are wrong, and here's why" in my own words.

I think a big issue with public discourse is that so many people never ever even try to imagine the reasoning behind a viewpoint with which they disagree. Without that understanding, I don't believe you can really convince anyone of anything, because all you can do is tell them they're wrong and point to some authority, which doesn't seem to work.

I went through a mad phase where I had loads of extensions installed in my main browser. Then all these stories came out about addon authors getting contacted by shady actors who wanted to buy the addon so they could add malicious code that siphons off personal data. Now I just have uBlock Origin and that's it! I trust it NOT to be taken over by bad actors.

Addons also have exploitable bugs in them, and also having multiple 'privacy addons' can mean some overlap in functionality where the tracking protection is redundant since it's covered by another addon. Like who really needs Privacy Badger, DuckDuckGo privacy essentials, and then uBlock running all together?

And with browsers shipping with fingerprinting mitigation, and having the option to surf strictly HTTPS sites, some addons are becoming redundant, like HTTPS Everywhere & 'useragent spoofing' addons which can actually make you stand out (privacy.resistFingerprinting:true in Firefox FTW). The trick is to blend in with a useragent, not stand out.
I am just starting my journey with PyQt6 coming from React/Redux madness. I have a slew of questions if you don't mind me asking to more experienced PyQT developers on HN:

How does the development experience compare to React/Redux? Is there more or less or about same amount of work involved? Learning curve?

What is the general timeline of QT -> PyQT downstream of features like? ex) quick compiler in QT 6.3

Have you built a major application with PyQT? What about QML?

How do you deal with application state like Redux in PyQT?

Are there noticeable performance gains and efficient resource uses vs Electron?

What advice do you have for someone like me venturing into PyQT? I've used Python in backend only so far.

Have you shipped with the fman build tool from mherrmann? How has the process been like?

Is there a browser or "WebView" component in PyQT6?

Much thanks!

You can't go through life and give up whenever a thing might not go your way. Think about a person who had a chunk of their brain removed, or lost their legs. They could sit down and feel sorry for themselves or push through and make something of it.

Also you might be experiencing some kind of medical anxiety due to media constantly bombarding you with Covid side effects 24/7. If they did the same with the Flu you would see they have very similar effects.

> a group who regard their autonomy as paramount and see no need to have arbitrary rules forced on them

In the specific context of vaccines at least in America, nobody is forcing anyone to take a vaccine so the position wouldn't make any sense. Maybe you want to clarify what you mean here?

As an aside, this idea of autonomy here is a psychological reflex to control something about a situation that you have absolutely no control over. But it's really just an illusion. They're not more autonomous than anyone else is. A vaccine wouldn't make a difference in your autonomy, and in a really bad pandemic ala The Stand (Stephen King novel) you'd be forced at gunpoint to take a vaccine and you'd happily comply. It's all just lifestyle and cosplay at this point.
You can submit a request to the credit bureaus (TransUnion, Equifax, Experian) to "lock your credit" which will prevent many types of new credit accounts being created. This is probably a good idea to do unless you are actively applying for credit anyway.

You have to raise your kids for the world that will exist when THEY become adults, not the world that existed when YOU became an adult.

These things exist and they aren't going away. Kids need to be familiar with them in order to understand the world they will live in. They need to build up tolerances and cooping strategies for spam and online teasing and addiction to it. If you just ban them from it, they'll have no familiarity and no immunity to its temptations. As with everything, moderation is the key.
Generally email providers will provide these for you (i.e. O365, Google Workspace, etc.) If you self-host email then it's really up to you to set them. SPF is super easy, just read some docs on the syntax, then include all valid IPs that might send email on your behalf. DKIM is where it gets a bit tricky, as you need to generate keys and sign all you mail. This is assuming you WANT to send mail from those domains. If you do not wish to, then just follow what they show in this guide, or in one of the comments above.

At least in my country, I have come to understand the deaths marked to Covid are now mostly people who were already in bad condition and had other health issues. Excess deaths seem to hover at 3%.

For USA though the excess deaths number is 17% so that model doesn't make sense at all. How many young people are dying from Covid in USA?

I had a weird one. Got covid and my taste for alcohol got ...corrupted. For the first 200ms of a sip of wine or beer it tasted normally, and then a wave of extremely bitter aftertaste would come and drown all the other tastes. It lasted a few weeks and then it fixed itself in the course of one day. It did coincide with me taking a few zinc pills as someone told me taste anomalies are sometimes caused by zinc deficiencies.
Interesting to see this playing out.

Which is why I use it for what it is instead of complaining about it not being something else. Any one individual is influenced by their own bias and experience, which creates an entirely different problem.

Yes but they get to deduct this, unlike an individual for whom no such deduction exists. Repeat after me: "a tax deduction is a subsidy." That is, welfare. An extremely biased, discriminatory welfare at that.

fpop() is a typed-pop and yields a float from the value union. This design also uses float storage for any number including integers.

So in the code fragment above, it seems that the fpop() number is saved into a character value (apparently with some certitude that it should fit into char type) at some pointer destination in what seems to be an array of chars.

I've been having this thought quite a lot lately. Computers are stupid and everything sucks now.

Examples I would use would be sports teams, construction teams, hunting groups, military units, sailing crews, fraternal organizations, and other environents that apprehend consequences from playing games.

This could have been written about me. I remember going to a friends house one night and seeing FateX for the first time. We spent a night mass mailing people and causing general chaos online. I went home and got my hands on Hellraiser, AO Korn, Pepsi, Havok, MIB, and a slew of other progz which I cant remember their names.

One day I asked my dad how they were made and he said he had some vague idea. So he took me to CompUSA and we left with a Learn Visual Basic in 24 hours book and Visual Basic software box. I went off and started writing my own programs and hanging out in various AOL related programming chat rooms. I made IRL friends from people that were part of that scene and that I met in those chat rooms. I have very fond memories of the internet back then.

I was 13 at the time I started coding AOL progz and went on to have a career in software development because of it.

There are regions of the country where Lewis and Clark are taught in some detail (e.g., Missouri). However, even in those regions, surprisingly little is taught about the actual details of their expedition. The story is mostly told as one of naturalists and cartographers, with some passing mention of native peoples. A "grand adventure in the wilderness" sort of narrative is what I recall from school.

If you read the actual journals, two things stick out. First, the expedition was mostly boring. Second, the fact that the west was populated is difficult to miss. The expedition was almost more about establishing trade and diplomatic relations with existing civilizations than about discovering and charting virgin lands.

I wonder if one reason that L&C aren't studied more widely is that the happy version of the story is mostly boring ("we made a map and documented fauna") and the more complex/detailed/interesting version of the story makes abundantly clear the extraordinary scope of the Manifest Destiny genocide.

"Team velocity" is just a measure of the teams overall performance. I'm a senior software engineer on my team so a large part of my work is not coding but work that helps the team function: code reviews, mentoring juniors, design discussion, adhoc and planned pair programing, triaging issues that are escalated to engineering from the customer support team, etc. The closest I ever get to sales is maybe joining a call as a technical expert if they need more expertise (or assurances on a big contract deal) than the sale tech expert on our product can provide.

Most of these things really are harder to do remote. I could honestly see how you'd be more productive and have stats to prove it if the vast majority of your responsibilities were just code.
