> half of these European countries had absolutely nothing exceptional going on mortality wise between 2020 and June 2021

That's not how I read it. First, all except Norway, Finland, Estonia, Denmark had at least +20% in 2020. Second, it's the peak that the graph plots so you cannot use it to take conclusions over the whole year. All the graph can tell you is how hard the country was hit by the spring 2021 wave compared to 2020.
> Frankly, the amount of derision I see here and in other tech circles from SWEs against basically every other role in tech makes me think SWEs are the ones with the ego, for that matter.

I can believe this. It’s especially funny when building a reliable system today requires a really basic understanding of few low level system concepts (eg graceful termination, signal handling, healthchecks, DNS) and most SWEs I work with simply refuse to learn these things.

As I've said in quite a few comments here lately, I'm a former patent examiner.

I like how Google lists "Investing in the Patent Office" as their first proposed solution. But here they seem to refer to adding new search technologies, including "AI solutions". New search technologies are not likely to help in my view. The USPTO already has quite a few AI-based search tools at their disposal, and they aren't game-changers. I wrote a bit about why the existing AI-based patent search tools don't work that well here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30978043

Later the writer says "The PTO is funded by fees paid by patent applicants, and we support increasing fees for the largest patent filers, including Google". That's more of what would actually help improve patent quality. But it would only help if examiners are given more time, which the blog post doesn't discuss. Just giving the USPTO more money alone won't necessarily change anything. I can recall attorneys complaining that when they pay extra to have extra patent claims, the examiner doesn't get any more time to examine the extra claims. So what are the extra fees actually doing? (Now an examiner gets an extra hour if their application has more than a certain number of claims... which is an increase of less than 10% time for more than 10% more work, but better than nothing I guess.)

"Unfortunately, most consumer-grade mass storage devices lie about syncing. Disk drives will report that content is safely on persistent media as soon as it reaches the track buffer and before actually being written to oxide. This makes the disk drives seem to operate faster (which is vitally important to the manufacturer so that they can show good benchmark numbers in trade magazines)."

Is this also true of SSDs?

Hi, I can relate. I also struggle to learn guitar for years, what helps me is that I

- Invest in an expensive ($400, so not really, but much better than what I used to have) guitar so I’d feel guilty leaving it there.

- Make it a point to pick up the guitar every single day, no matter how long.

It’s also great that there are lots of tabs for popular songs out there, and Carl Brown of guitarlessons365 amazing tutorials. It’s been a little more than a year, with a few breaks spanning days and months, I can learn to imperfectly play the rhythm part of many songs within one practice session from online tabs. I’m proud of that.

Good luck on your journey, after some time of playing, I can say guitar is the easiest instrument to have fun with.
One thing that the author misses is that a dollar spent on congestion charges doesn't matter the same to everyone. A fancy lawyer probably doesn't even think about a $10 toll but a grocery cashier probably would drive an extremely inefficient route to avoid that toll.

I think we need to find a way to "charge" people in a way that matters equally to everyone. I usually advocate for things in terms of time (community service hours) because that perfectly hedges against the person's wage level. Although I suppose given their tax receipts we could just adjust the monetary charge for their observed hourly wage.

Any other ideas for adjusting "charges" to have equal importance for different people?
There’s a lot of rakes. Some don’t bother anyone. Some are well-managed by others and don’t need your attention. Others you may not have the skill to pick up. Yet still exist others that shouldn’t be picked up now.

Knowing which ones you should pick up, how many, when to timebox it etc is a skill in and of itself. I’ve never felt unrewarded for that but:
a) I already work very quickly. I try to pick up rakes in my spare time (ie my main work is blocked for some reason)
b) I generally try to make sure no one else is tasked with picking up the rake
c) I identify the rakes that are relevant to my work (I’m generally not fixing rakes in the Linux Kernel)

There’s another problem and this one has to do with organizational pain. Most organizations are set up to not listen to your external opinion. So if you pick up rakes there the other manager will be relieved of solving the problem while your manager isn’t getting enough of your focus on your current job which isn’t helping anyone (the other manager needs to hire someone and won’t even if you’re telling them they should)

Both sides of the coin have merit.

Ironically, you seem to have missed the point of their comment, which is only slightly tangential to the article and extremely interesting in the social media discussion at large. And then you tailored an entire paragraph to show off your narrow mindedness and lack of critical thinking ability. Stop trying so hard.

All comments so I have seen so far touch upon a subject with partial validity. If we allow ourselves a more wider-abstraction then I would opine that (not exclusively to "Americans") we distrust experts because of two limits within any information transmission, 1) compression of information required to summarize something in 5 minutes is lossy and 2) natural degeneracy of the inverse problem required at the receiver (or in other words non-uniquness of retrieved message due to incomplete portfolio of assumptions between transmitter/receiver). [This is compounded with our memory also being temporal and incomplete].

That is horrendously sounding academic/technical description (apologies). In simple terms, one cannot convey all assumptions and entirety of knowledge on a given topic in 5 minutes summary or a headline. 1) Experts speak only about a subset of a problem to make it short, taking for granted implied assumptions -- which many people find easy to "attack" and poke holes at for being non-inclusive. 2) Expert opinion does/cannot state assumptions and consider multi-dimensionality of the interpretation problem which differ among other people.

[I take the liberty to attach to this opinion a corollary; that is why freedom of speech is the one of the greatest idea of modern civilization (and lack of it makes life living hell -- just read any old soviet literature). And now, in US and EU, we are cheering governments to establish the very organizations, "truth ministries", and set into motions processes that will do away with one of the most noble of principles. We can allow provision of good intentions which does not change anything.]

Stars core pretty much are. Or rather, "solid" is a bad name because it is a specific name for material that is much more compressible than what is there.
Is Visa taking 2% out of all my transactions?
Today I got an email from Upwork telling me that I now have to pay a 5% fee on top of the payments to freelancers.

What cought my eye is that I can reduce that 5% to 3% if I pay via bank account billing instead of credit card.

Is that because Visa is charging 2% for every transaction?

Isn't that insanely hight? Do they provide anything in return? Or is it just because they have somewhat of a monopoly?

Upwork is processing about $1B of payments per year. While still not making any money on it.

Meanwhile, Visa is taking $20M out of that?
What implications would this discovery have if the evidence for it was overwhelming? The article talks about super-symmetry, but couldn't it be also possible that we get out of it just some small revisions to the standard model?
That's a false dilemma, you are corroborating the actions of extremists with the entire concept of religion. This sounds more like Hitchen's kind of an argument, which is fine for entertainment purposes but it is reductive and prevents us from having interesting philosophical discussions regarding God and religion.
I don’t know it, but as far as I understand it has to be the exact same shared library, otherwise some in-memory caches don’t get updated on writes. This doesn’t happen, if it’s two separate processes, that are using different libraries. In my case it was just one process.

But it’s also possible, that SQLite was built by different compilers/toolchains and that did the trick.

What happened: my database files were always corrupted and needed repair. The application did only a few writes, and sometimes the changes just disappeared.

Edit: the SQLite website says: „But, if multiple copies of SQLite are linked into the same application, then there will be multiple instances of this global list.“
I question the assumption. I’ve known plenty of centrists and right wingers in tech. They mostly kept their heads down and did the work. They only opened up to me over beers on rare social occasions. I suspect there’s a vocal minority of left and right leaning people, but the vast majority don’t give a crap and are somewhere in the middle and just want to tinker with computers. I fall into this last cohort, and know quite a few others who do.
Initialization code is mentioned...

"In addition to that, consider whether you can move initialization code outside of the handler function."

There's an example too, but this could use more emphasis. I see quite of a lot of code in the main body of lambdas that doesn't need to be run over and over, things that could be safely cached in a hashmap, etc.
Regarding the first point, I'm not sure whether aerospike engines can still be considered heat limited. Even in the 90s with the X-33 aerospike spacecraft, heat was not cited as the reason for cancellation. And nowadays material science as progressed by a lot, which resulted in more heat resistant materials, e.g. this one:

Problem with that is electricity is expensive in Europe. Of course as you know Europe varies a lot between Portugal and Romania. While the first has a balmy 10C in winter daily low, colder areas can easily have -10C, -15C at night. That's the minimum operating range of a heat pump.
That's a 30C difference to work through. That's why they have cheap (Russian) gas, it has the biggest energy density (and nuclear).
Ground-source heat pumps would work better in continental Europe but they are expensive to install (I have only seen them in new build villas).
i don't know why the responses to your comments are acting like yours is off topic. this article is clearly showing the possibility of sovereigns running their own social media networks to the benefit of their citizens and i'd agree this is very exciting and while it may turn out to have some free speech drawbacks down the road it sure does seem like a great way to disentangle discussion and communities from private profits as the primary motive.

It's fascinating that you were still able to read without seeing! I've had migraines about every two months for the past 12 years, and with very few exceptions they've always followed the same pattern: 30 minutes of scotoma (small to large to small), 30 minutes of peace, then a strong headache for about an hour. I usually still have a mild headache the next day.

I've had the migraines mostly while sitting an the computer or reading, but it seemed impossible to me to continue to read since the zig zags were right above the letters, and frankly quite distracting. Because of that, I've never really tried to continue.

It seems weird to say that, but I'm almost looking forward to the next migraine solely to test if I can still read if I really try. That would be awesome! Thank you for your description!
I've been living here for a long time. Rents are astronomical. A building near me that was renting for $4300. for a one bedroom is now getting $7600. for a one bedroom. The thing to do now is to buy if you can. Prices haven't come up that much and there is a lot of inventory for purchase. Not so much for rent.

Yes, it's obvious that some level of support staff are a good idea.

Now make an argument that the current arrangement is more optimal than the one we might end up with if there were more doctors.
No need to apologize :-) but you miss a real-world part: we do have some open-platform, even if NOT open hardware desktops, we do not have anything easy to buy at a reasonable price for mobile.

I own a Pine64 phone, it's nice to play as it was the old OpenMoko, but it's not much usable as a daily driver suggestible to generic users, including those who can use GNU/Linux desktop normally as simple users. That's the biggest issue and it's a similar systemic issue described above: we can't have really Free software if it need non-free systems to run, so we can't have free OSes if they demand non-free hw + fw crap.

Since desktops so far are at least manageable I generally suggest to run to save them, pushing desktop computing again and simply say mobile world so far is just a prison. This way perhaps since actually we need desktops to work in 99% of the cases we would been able to have them in the future, as "free" as today...

>If they didn't exist, most libraries wouldn't have access to the journals JSTOR archives.

Y0ou stated: "This isn't true. Something else would be in its place. The only question is whether it would be better. I believe that society has already paid a number of times for the benefit of most of the knowledge in this archive. This should be freely available to anyone with access to the internet."

You are assuming that something else would be in JSTOR's place. Did you bother to look elsewhere to see if you could find the information offered on Jstor? I doubt you did because if you had, then logic, reason, Burden of Proof and Hitchen's Razor dictates that you'd back your truth claim with substantiated evidence to support it.

You last statement about what you believe regarding paying for information is something that has gone on for thousands of years and its not going to change any time soon. The internet does not come without a cost so should those who don't want to pay have access to it?
It has the advantage of being a little more stealthy than taking those kind of actions against the page itself.

Actually if you look at no-till and permaculture it 100% can have the same or higher yields per acre. The process of farming also doesn't have to be mind-numbing in this case. The combination of AgTech/Robotics and no-till/permaculture could produce vastly larger yields vs Organic traditional farming.

That's for soil based farming, personally I think Hydroponics (raising plants in water with no soil), Aeroponics (Hydroponics but grown in vertical towers), and Aquaponics (closed ecosystem using fish to fertilize the water the plants are grown in) are the only real way to feed a growing population and not destroy the environment. The Netherlands is already the leading European exporter of food, here is a great youtube video that touches on some of the ideas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5clOYWsNhhk

Bottom line is that traditional Organic farming isn't the answer anymore than modern factory farming. AgTech is something I'm passionate about and I honestly believe that if we don't adopt more modern science will we face a large crisis in our food systems sooner rather than later. Some crops will need to be soil based (grains and related crops mostly) but nearly everything else grows faster, more reliably, and with out the need for chemical treatments. There are a large number of Hydroponic and Aquaponic farms already in operation but the percentage is still very small.

Yes — a cursory review of corporate politics would indicate women in media/PR and HR dominate the discussion around sexism and keep men from being able to discuss their issues fairly.

I feel that you shouldn't "trust" the experts but "understand" them.
It brings you a tad bit closer to reality when compared when just blindly trusting experts.
I think my point is more that you end up having to pay the costs (of Rx-style APIs) whether you need the scalability or not, because the libraries end up going down that route. This has sometimes felt that I'm being forced to do work in order to satisfy the fringe needs of some other project!

And sure, if you are living in a single-threaded environment, your choices are somewhat limited. I, personally, dislike front-end programming for exactly that reason - things like RxJS feel hideously overcomplicated to me. My guess is that most, though not all, will much prefer the loom-style threading over async/await given free choice.

After reading your comment and its replies, I went looking on Youtube for some harmonica videos.

I don't play the harmonica, and I don't have any idea about music. However, I do like the harmonica as an instrument whenever I hear it in some songs.

I find that usually the harmonica always plays multiple notes together, and to my untrained ears, this always makes me feel that it can never hold the stage like maybe, a saxophone can.

Then I came across the video below, and honestly, I was extremely impressed. It felt as if each note was being played by itself and the artist had complete control over the instrument.

The artist, Indiara Sfair, also has a complete course on her website.

Then that's something different than what you said. Football, basketball, baseball, soccer, rugby, these are all "other sports". You said the majority of badminton professionals could do it.

I still doubt that. I even doubt that the majority of them could transfer to tennis.

Because there are levels to sports. And it's largely based on where the money is.

And I'm saying you shouldn't sacrifice yourself for your passions.
