No, that's not true.

It may be true if you consider hospitalizations: sometimes people with mild or no COVID symptoms count as COVID hospitalizations because 1) they do need to be in the hospital for something unrelated but 2) they must be kept in a COVID ward until they're not infectious anymore.

However, death cause is not COVID if the hospital finds that you are positive after a car accident and you die of the injuries the day after.

And if you were already say very very old or with comorbidities, and you die of pneumonia with a positive COVID test, then maybe you would have died anyway in a couple months, but still the immediate cause of death is COVID and nothing else makes sense.
Two top-level scenarios here:

* you're working on the same part of the code

* you aren't working on the same part of the code

The second scenario is common but also trivial here since you can just have parallel branches going, so I'm gonna assume more the first - working on something that's building on top of what you just put up for review.

Let's say the review is done in 2 hours. If you're already done with the followup, IMO you may be erring too far on the side of "small PRs." If you aren't, you just rebase on top of whatever changes had to be made, if any, to the first one, once it lands on the primary branch.

If, on the other hand, the review isn't done for 2 days... then that's a PR turnaround time problem for sure.

But I strongly disagree with the people saying "multiple dependent PRs suggests the work wasn't split up properly" - there's nothing worse than a mega-PR of thousands of lines for the sake of doing a "single feature" all in one shot vs having to possibly pause and rebase periodically after review. It's even more painful when this mega-PR requires fundamental changes that could've been caught earlier, but now will take longer to adjust, and then will stay open for a while and likely result in merge conflicts as a result.
They're not wrong tbf, you can largely replace K8s with curl and some basic cloud CLI scripts for the majority of cases. Slight hyperbole but I'll never really understand the weird urge to use Borg-lite everywhere.
You find them in any sport. Weightlifting is another one that's easy to see. Go to any gym for a few weeks, you will pretty quickly identify a handful of people who seem to live there.

Immunity also depends on viral load. If you are hot-boxing in a tiny subcompact car for 48 hours cross country road trip with someone who is highly contagious, is different than sitting in a large, indoor restaurant across the table for an hour from someone who has covid, but is mostly recovered (I still wouldn't sit with this person, but seems to happen a lot) the viral load you will receive, is a lot less than the subcompact car scenario. Your friend could be immunocompromised, or they could be "living their best life" and spending a lot of time indoors with strangers, or both. It's hard to say.

There are a lot of people I know who only eat on outdoor patios, minimize time indoors with others, but end up finally getting covid for the first time when a family member comes over for sunday night dinner and infects the entire household.

As for brands, I will say that several of the Port And Company t-shirts with a very heavy fabric weight that I've received from a past employer have lasted well over a decade. No idea what it cost them though.
A 48K ZX Spectrum (the most popular model) sold for 129GBP in June 1983. According to the first Google result I get for "uk rpi inflation calculator"[0], that's equivalent to 523GBP today. It was typically used with a television as the display, which most families would already have. The usual data storage system was cassette tapes, which were also widespread at the time, although it was common for people to buy cheap dedicated tape recorders for their microcomputers. Not as cheap as the options we have now, but most people who really wanted one could have found a way to afford it.

Calibre actually does horrible things to the HTML source that hides in each epub. While Standard Ebooks do promote awesome HTML. If you run Calibre on it, it's ruined.

An epub is just a zip file. Open it up, look inside, see for yourself.

Both are the diffucult part. Especially since "business requirements" ofent is Agile newspeak for "no spec and fuzzy demands".

Sexual transmission is just one way monkeypox can be spread, not the only way. But you probably don't ever touch any items or have face to face contact so I'm sure you're good.
Again, it is not context-dependent. I suggest you educate yourself further on the GDPR, specifically the six legal bases upon which processing can occur.
CPS and the courts have an almost learned reflex to never give breaks...

This "learning" does not seem to me to be a sane evolution but rather a degeneration. A friend of mine describes how his father being a policeman let him see the worst in people. And there's a logical progression from seeing the worst to thinking the worst to not caring if you ruin someone's life through abusive prosecution. As I mentioned, catching a determined pedophile is hard but the "just put people in jail for nuisance and hope some of them are pedophiles" isn't protecting or helping anyone ... except an abusive and metastasized (in)justice system.
Neither of those cases need to be true for a second PR to be ready before the first has been merged.

For example you do your first PR, mark it ready for review. While doing it you notice there's some refactoring you could do to some tangentially related code. It's very conceivable that the second refactoring PR could be ready pretty quickly.

Because monotonically increasing technological progress is a commonly-believed fairy tale. Nowadays, capabilities are lost as often as they're gained. Either because the people who designed the successor are being opinionated or just focusing on something else.

To make this event type completely reproducible and measurable to the millisecond there could be a new cube product which uses LEDs to show the colors of a randomly scrambled cube and start the clock at the same moment too, while the solver is holding it. Clock stops the moment the cube is solved.
Also odd since their state government leaders are highly politically motivated and want to make political waves even if their actions are irrational (like on power production, blaming wind turbines instead of recognizing their failure to winterize wind and coal power systems).
Everyone who learns to create art has a background in what’s been done before them. I don’t see painters in galleries list everything that’s gone into their education. Song credits don’t have the thousands of albums the creators have listened to. Computers are displacing humans here for sure, but they way they learn and apply it is the same.
Immunity doesn't only come from antibodies, but frustratingly we get misleading headlines like "prior infection from omicron does not boost immunity" or the like and when you look at where those statements are coming from you discover its based entirely on blood tests which only cover a narrow window of the immunity picture. Its like putting a hand over one eye and claiming you can't see.
I am really surprised how fast/responsive it is. Most UI frameworks feel clunky/slow and react ones feel even slower sometimes.

> North Korea is an independent nuclear power

South Korea, like Japan, is a "latent" nuclear power - meaning they have the ability to quickly (likely a matter of months) produce nuclear weapons given current resources and expertise.

I still have files I made from the 90s... but my guess is that they won't be around forever.
For a minimum wage-ish job at a restaurant, supermarket, Home Depot, etc. that's probably about the situation today. Maybe a restaurant would want a server with a little experience but I doubt most casual restaurants are being terribly picky today.
Agreed. Working for a major big box retailer for 12 years: never once have we accepted a hand-delivered resume or hired a walk-in. On the rare occasions fresh high school students try that (and it's never anyone older), it's always the same response: fill out the online app, because we literally cannot hand-key your paper documents and we cannot fill a hiring requisition without that digital record.
Between the affairs and incessant tweeting, I'm starting to doubt that he actually works 120 hours a week.
This looks pretty good.

Seems people have baggage from bad experiences. I guess remember how large the scope & pace of AWS. And remember that this was their solution to those UX issues not the cause!

Seems really complete.

Pro-tip you may not have thought of: this is really well suited to internal debug/admin/troubleshooting tooling.
There's a 4th butterfly effect: All those places you described are becoming more and more inhabitable due to global warming, political instability and lower quality of living. Almost all of them want sponsorship to move to the US or Canada and bring their families with them.

so in the long run what really differentiates outsourced labor vs local is really down to culture and the type of working environment that is created. This really cannot be underestimated. If hiring Indians or Brazilian engineers was the be all end all, there wouldn't be any jobs here in North America.

I don't know what the end game is but for sure WFH really makes these cultural differences pronounced. They can't read between the lines. They don't get the jokes. They make grammatically mistakes and stuff gets lost in chats.

Personally experienced this working with French speakers. Their level of English is god awful and majority of the time were spent trying to figure out what the hell they were saying. It worked for a while but eventually it burnt out a lot of the English speaking staff.
Why would you tell strangers a) your real identity b) where you work? This is why I think TikTok is moronic. That said, it's sort of insane that this is a legal reason to fire someone, insane that employers can still claim it's "illegal" to share your salary with co-workers etc.
Also in Helion machine magnets coils are in aluminum. And because aluminum is (mostly) transparent to neutrons they don't get damaged. This is to be compared with the superconductors of tokamaks.

So actually their idea is to put the shield (or the blanket) outside of the reactor, not between the magnets and the plasma. A lot easier to do.

There are still many uncertainties, some because they are secretive and others because they have to figure out a solution.

They seem pretty confident to reach net electricity in 2024, they might be completely wrong on something and/or underestimating the difficulties. We'll see.

Sometimes?

Consider also the stakeholder who gets annoyed whenever the dev team wants to work on something that would take longer than a week to turn around, and limits the things they'll ask for to those estimated at a week. So bigger things can never get done at all, and you'll just be looking for a local maxima instead of having the chance to make more significant changes.

Sometimes it's worth it to prep and clean up as you go. Knowing when it's worth it and when it isn't is one thing that makes some devs more valuable long-term than others.

I find I'm installing third party CLI tools anyway, for xsv and jq as the real irreplacable but not yet standard Unix tools. Once I'm having to do that, stuff like ripgrep, fzf or fdfind get added for having a nice UI, even if they wouldn't cross the essential threshold otherwise.
You can tell git what the resolution point is using `git rebase --onto`. This can help avoid situations where Git gives extra conflicts form trying to reapply an old version of your change on top of a new version of the same change. You can also use `git rebase --skip` if you recognize that you’ve ended up in this situation.
>The journals are unreliable on this and many other topics. Objective data suggests that mandatory masking has no effect on transmission.

1. It's ironic how much you denounce the value of journals and extol the value of "objective data", yet you have not attached any "objective data" (in any meaningful sense) with your original comment, and have dodged follow up requests for sources.

2. You're moving the goalposts from masks "do not work at all" to "mandatory masking has no effect".
This crashed the safari tab on my iPhone, lol.

I'm pretty sure he thinks of his tweeting as work.
Proposed starts of operations are 2034-2042. I'd expect a fair bit of on-site generation/storage, but I also would hope ERCOT gets its act together by then (or is replaced with a multi-state system).
This is incorrect.

First, Alpha was from Dec 2020-Jan 2021 in the UK and was already substantially more infectious than the Wuhan wild type or D614G variant, though it did not escape immunity.

Second, as far as we know neither Delta nor Omicron (nor all the other Greek letters that were outcompeted by them) developed in vaccinated people, and both of them are anyway incredibly more infectious even in unvaccinated people.

I don't know about BA.4/5 but, at least for the three main lineages of concern that drove waves after mass vaccination, selective pressure was not a cause of either the birth or the spreading of the variant.
Right. That's why I mentioned the Commodore 64 which was probably roughly similar in capabilities and price. Doing programming on such a system was pretty different from a PC-compatible however. But it was absolutely a way for kids to get started.
it works really well. the interviews generally won't be a waste of time, though I've definitely been offered down-leveled roles sometimes.

the key is that you want the recruiter to say, firmly, that your ask is within their range.

ANYTHING ELSE ("we can make that up in equity", "we're willing to do that for the right candidate", "we can't guarantee that, but our benefits package is stellar", "i'm not sure, but let's connect anyway?") is a sell and should be approached carefully.
Here you go:

PLO means pot limit Omaha
NLO means no limit Omaha
Population growth is a localized problem.

Isn't it is the policies that permit mobility from population-exploding locations into slow-growth locations that cause cultural destruction?
> “I asked, ‘Have I broken any policies? Have I posted anything on TikTok that is a security concern?’ And they said not at this time I have not but it could happen at any time in the future, so they’re just not going to take that risk.

This sounds absurd. How could a company punish an employee when the employee didn’t do anything wrong, just because they believe the employee might do something wrong? I’d love to hear an official response from that company.
Private solar farm makes sense in certain parts of texas.

Here's a thought: vinyl.

While I haven't done intensive research on this, it occurs to me that plastic lasts a long time. Vinyl records are a format that seems fit for long-term archiving. The format is so obvious that it could be reverse engineered by any future civilization.

So at least they'll know something about our taste in music.

No, obviously not. I gave examples, and even one of those was broader than that.

Why would I "own" your straw man's view?
Yes, poker enthusiasts tend to use a ton of jargon from the game. There are plenty of glossaries but you need to have a basic understanding of the game to make sense of most of it. Like this: https://www.888poker.com/magazine/poker-terms

The terms you mentioned:

GTO: Game Theory Optimal

PLO: Pot Limit Omaha (different from NL - "No Limit" Texas Hold'em). "Pot Limit" means your max bet can only be as much money as is in the pot at the time.

NLO: No Limit Omaha - That restriction on pot size is not there
Dear. God. GCloud/GCP. What a total mess. I work on the ui console all day. It hangs, errors out, its slow, it breaks. Every new hire complains, they assume it is their browser or internet connection - it isn't it is just horrible. I want to list the servers - TOO BAD, hundreds of thousands of lines of javascript run to display a list of servers. Let's load up javascript hipster transitions instead. https://i.imgur.com/8ZhYRwS.png Search? Don't even bother you need to use the command line and grep it. The product wasn't built to have 1k vms, so I large customer - suffer [which doesn't make sense as a business]. When I go on AWS i am just amazed at the speed. GCP doesn't reach out or care, they ask "SEND us a network diagram" - then ghost you. GCP: no perks, no help, no cool tshirts, no 'how is it going?', no anything except 24 year old 'representatives' who cannot put clear sentences together. Let's have interns run multimillion dollar accounts. I used to hang out at AWS loft - those people helped right there on the spot - would jump in call their network guy to debug something. They just gave a shit. GCP will sunset eventually that must be their strategy.

IMHO, google doesn't use GCP. Amazon does use AWS. They care- if it sucks, they are using something that sucks. GCP couldnt' care less if something doesn't work after all they don't use it. And the amount GCP is behind is unreal. Need a database reader loadbalanced endpoint? Make it yourself. Cloudrun has network issues?, no one else complained, ghosted. What about your career? You think your next employer will use GCP: nope.
Instead of sending out thinly-veiled insults

There's no personal insult involved in my above. It's true I think the opinion of the above poster is both problematic and an approach that actually does real damage.

I mean, certainly "you ever think about that?" is a rhetorical turn of phrase but so is "I've seen both sides?" The discussion is informal here and emotional appeals happen on both sides. I don't really see the problem.

Edit: The problem with "balance both sides" is that it really is the position of one side. It's "sum of a (negative) utility function" outcome argument but generally put very emotionally. William Blackstone articulated the basic principle "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer" but today's justice asks instead "What is the cost of persecuting ten innocent persons if it allows one guilty person to be caught" and then tells you of the (indeed true) horrors some guilty person has done. And one can't argue "small chunk" with that kind of bullshit. One has to attack this very conceptual framework for what it is, a pernicious approach. I feel no reason to be nice about it. This is not ad hominem, I'm not arguing from someone's personal failing to a claim of their argument being wrong. But there's requirement to be "touchy feely" and talk how much I respect everyone. We're beyond that at HN I think.
> 2) Texas's power grid has gained a reputation lately for being unreliable.

Having the appearance of something is not the same as actually being that thing. They had one outage during a cold snap, and then warned about high usage, but there has not actually been another outage.

California is also warning about an outage.

We had to cancel a lot of summer vacation plans as our kid wasn't eligible to get vaccinated (until very recently) and they abruptly cancelled the in flight mask mandate. The scenario you describe is exactly why we wear N95 in the airport and on planes even today. Case counts are going to need to come way down before the masks go away.
Yeah, I fully expect Autopilot to have different failure modes than human drivers, but what I’m interested in is the different fatality rates (deaths per hundred million miles, adjusted for different types of roads i.e., highway vs city streets). If Autopilot can save hundreds of lives annually to human-error mistakes like falling asleep at the wheel, etc but at the cost of one life annually due to obscure failure modes like driving toward a train, I maintain that we should not only allow Autopilot, but probably even mandate it on new vehicles. Sacrificing hundreds or thousands of lives annually because we don’t like the specific failure modes seems absurd. Of course, if it doesn’t save lives, then we should block its deployment on those grounds (but the particular kind of failure mode shouldn’t affect the calculus).
