I was a little disappointed to see no mention of Bracovirus and Ichnovirus, two related but otherwise effectively unique genera which constitute the family Polydnaviridae and which are intimately
symbiotic with parasitoid wasps of families Braconidae and Ichneumonidae.

These viruses' genomes are actually incorporated into those of the wasps, and are thus passed on from mother to daughter. The virus doesn't circulate in the body
of the wasp; instead, female wasps' ovaries include a unique type of cell which is specialized to act as a viral replicator, generating and storing virus particles from the relevant sections of the wasp's own genome. When the mother wasp injects an egg into its caterpillar host, she secretes a dose of virus along with it. The virus serves to suppress the host's immune system and physical development, and in some cases also modifies its behavior, in order to ensure a favorable environment for the baby wasp's development.

No one, or at least no one I've yet read, knows of any other example in nature of such a close mutualism. No one knows when or how it evolved, or where Polydnaviridae fits into the larger taxonomy of viruses. It's just a shame they weren't discovered in time for Dan O'Bannon to incorporate them in the screenplay for Alien, which already takes considerable inspiration from the reproductive habit of spider wasps; it'd be a different film, and I think perhaps an even better one, for the inclusion.

As a European I would prefer to have less americanized woke culture in Europe and not more.

I don't understand the fixation on race and I never will. If you think race is important I believe you are wrong.

If someone executes a great idea or does something good or bad, race has probably nothing to do with the subject matter. Stuff like this will only increase racial divide for no reason, just look at the US where this kind of reasoning is common.

I think most europeans are sick and tired of the woke garbage that comes from the US that we are forced to endure thanks to a lot of large companies being based in the US.

Just look at the funding, it's as you expect.
That's what it means in Silicon Valley. It's not what it means in India, South Africa, Brazil, nor even Europe I think. These are all places where the WMF has just been fundraising. Nobody is forcing the WMF to hire in America.

Summing up integers in Rust is my favorite. You cannot imagine how obviously save and concise it can be done with little effort compared to let's say C++ (seriously).

Rust just is so elegant, beautiful, save and inspiring. Taking a lot of responsibility from your shoulders, while teaching you a lot about what was wrong with your naive programming in other languages before. (Also seriously)

X in Rust are my favorite articles on HN.
I completely agree with you that, at the end of the day, it's the actions and choices of people that determines our rights and laws and society as a whole.

But at the same time, it sounds like you are acknowledging the agency of others, while at the same time absolving yourself of agency.

I mean, of course other people in the future can change things. But what about today?

(Not to diss, I just found your phrasing about "advantageousness" a bit odd. For example, it seems like any historical regime could've used the exact same logic, even those that we would absolutely in hindsight not consider "advantageous". To be more concrete: yes it's true that, taking a Martian view, problems are likely to "fix themselves". But at the same time, as history shows, problems "fix themselves" in many different ways. Sometimes relatively smooth or peaceful ways and in other times in ways that involve massive war and genocide. And this too is up to people to decide. If, for example, the fascists act, organize, and spread their opinions more aggressively than non-fascists, they may come out on top, etc.)
`cat /dev/urandom | od -N 1 -An -i` gives you a uniform random number between 0 and 255. The following mod 10 in the awk command introduces "modulo bias", which you can read about here https://research.kudelskisecurity.com/2020/07/28/the-definit...

You can see it quite intuitively if you iterate over all possible numbers between 0 and 255:

$ (for i in {0..255}; do; echo $i | awk '{print $1 % 10 + 1}'; done) | sort -n | uniq -c

u are just reinforcing my understanding. so payloads, triggering and 'specific' products are all real. surely 'bugs' in this sequence are inevitable too with maybe devastating consequences for which no one is liable. who is to say the boosters are not updates that sneak in backdoors with additional 'features'? + these vaccines are peddled by for profit companies that refuse to share IP and emergency approved by govt agencies that have these company officers on their boards.... sorry, i refuse this workflow that treats my body like a phone that needs constant 'security' updates.
See it through. I know sometimes at university it can feel like your having your wings clipped, or that your not getting the 'real' experience.

But it won't last forever, and what it does well - conveying often unintuitive OOP concepts - it does do well.

Your course conveners job its to teach the fundamentals, tooling is for you to shake out as you gain experience and scale up, and from their perspective - imagine trying to wrangle random IntelliJ/Eclipse issues with a cohort of 120+ students, for many whom this might be their first introduction to programming!

Scaling things back probably genuinely allows them to provide a better learning on ramp.
It works well-ish in general, but it is rife with ambivalence, noise, lack of recall and bias. I find it horribly inefficient for my work on it’s own and as someone who grew up with the teachings of older generation programmers (most extreme, Dijkstra), I notice that most attempts to move everything to verbal communications is laziness; people don’t want to write, draw, spec etc if they can do prevent it. I even think ‘agile’ is a lazy way to say you are not going to spec out anything but just have a chat and hope for the best.
If you run a node, you're also checking that every block follows the rules.

A malicious supermajority cannot break the rules your client enforces, because your client will reject it.

Think of it as everyone running ethereum has a bunch of asserts() each block or communication it receives.
Agree wrt avalanche, ava labs however... would be great if people could do some kind of pow to the decide to pos with avalanche tech, would have been better than current distribution of supply of validators and where those machines are running (like +70% on aws, ovh, etc..., though probably would have taken longer to grow)... which i wonder about what will it look like for eth now.

Great idea! Though in several instances it essentially repeats the submission title (which isn't too bad, but maybe you can instruct it to extend from the title?).

Fun fact, the "ï" in "naïve" is not an umlaut, but a totally different use of the same notation called a diaresis! It's meant to inform the reader that the "a" and "i" are pronounced separately, rather than being combined into a single vowel sound. It's a bit old-fashioned in English, but you sometimes will see it in older texts on words like "coöperation". So "naieve" is not a valid spelling of "naïve" (but that's okay because English spelling has historically been a mess and everyone knew what you meant). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaeresis_(diacritic)
I think you're right about the reasons for the decline. Most people have learned enough about Covid now to be able to see how good their health systems reacted (in my country, the response was outstanding). They're vaccinated and don't care about Covid any longer. These people participate less in threads about Covid now, so the percentage of fringe positions will increase.

However, I want to point out that HN was really good in the beginning. I knew about the pandemic earlier than any of my colleagues and gave some advice about cancelling events that sounded ominous then but turned out to be excellent. I even was able to predict the case numbers reliably during the exponential growth phase in early 2020, using my own calculations. All of that thanks to HN. Early discussions from January to April 2020 on HN were quite insightful, as were later discussions of possible medications and therapies by some of the rich hypochondriacs on HN.

I agree that HN is now useless for Covid-related discussions and has mostly turned into unscientific antivax garbage. But it was very useful during the beginning of the pandemic.
This is the “spell checkers cause bad spelling” fallacy.

People learn by being told they are wrong. When you use copilot you are constantly being given examples that challenge your intuition. Maybe copilot is wrong, maybe you are wrong, either you are learning more with it on than with it off. Countless programmers get stuck in a rut writing the same bad code over and over again because nobody tells them it’s wrong. And it doesn’t matter if you’ve been programming for 1 month or 20 years, we all have something to learn.

The idea that because it's risky right now and that a decrease in risk will provide higher returns isn't necessarily sound. For example, playing a financial equivalent to Russian roulette won't give you higher returns. You can look at the countries titled with the euphemistic "developing markets" which have historically had extremely high risks AND a much lower return than in lower risk countries. The risk-return trade-off may be assumed often, but there are controversies, and it's underlying theoretical basis only holds in an efficient capital markets where market participants are capable of pricing risk. A bank can price the risk of a mortgage default, but how can you price the risk of anything in the Blockchain space, like say Ethereum getting completely wiped out by a hack, etc?
I don't get how 'quiet quitting' carries any shaming connotations. At least in my mind it doesn't.
> As an entrepreneur for 20 years, I used to believe employees believe in companies and missions, but they don't, 99% of the time. They get paid for 30 days work, on time, and if they get a better offer they leave.

Did you offer those employees a chance to have a stake, to take a risk and share in the bigger reward than just their salary? I mean, in a meaningful way that had the potential to change their quality of life if it paid off? Were you willing to share the reward?

If you didn't offer such an opportunity, you can't complain that the staff didn't contribute to the level you hoped.
Governments have sovereignty, which basically means unlimited capacity to make your life hell.

"Vaccines became broadly available in relatively wealthy countries in 2021 wherein the only reasonable position would have been that vaccination of all groups would decrease net mortality even among those unlikely to die and reduce damage to people's bodies that we were already seeing even with mild infections of otherwise healthy people."

That's about the worst case of projection I've seen on HN. Just because that's your position is very far from it being the only reasonable position. There were plenty of sensible people calling for vaccination of the over 50s and other vulnerable classes at the time.
You can't just look at the total expenses, you need to look at what the necessary expenses are. It's easy to create new expenses when you have available money to spend.
I wonder why that electronics is actually there. I'd rather expect something pyrotechnic, some contraption out of delay fuses. Is there a source that explains what needs to happen under the hood that requires electronics?
Technically uwagar is correct, if perhaps overestimating the capability of the "payload". The mRNA could in theory produce a wide array of proteins. Personally I'm excited by the potential for treatments for other conditions using mRNA tech, with research on autoimmune conditions already progressing. Also it's probably possible already to develop and deploy vaccines in weeks, though safety and efficacy tests trials still take months.
Wait until you hear how much of the world's total energy is wasted on ads (manufacturing, transmission, power usage) or spam email.
> Teething is miserable no doubt, going through it now.

What took you so long to start teething?
blueJ is a terrible first IDE. but mostly because JAVA is a terribly first language for new programmers. New programmers should be focused on variables, control flow, functions and io. The absolute minimum to do something useful. abstraction should come later as the scope of what they are trying to accomplish outpaces their ability to manage complexity. java centric first programming classes are so idiotic it drives me mad. Some of these classes go so far as to model toy problems as MVC using classes when the students aren't even comfortable using a LOOP!!

Drives me crazy. We should be starting them on python in repl.it. easy to get up an running. minimum amount of stuff you need to know to do something interesting.

Java as a first language pushed on new CS students has caused untold damage to the industry.

I reckon there's a reason why it's not available yet: legal uncertainty about the training data and generated code in a commercial context.

Right now it's only individual developers, placing the burden on them and preventing any major repercussions for Github.

This changes when (large) companies start using it, and when GitHub gives potentially copyrighed code to companies.

Personally I only use it for personal/OS projects right now, not professionally.

1) D+ is still quite young. Optimizing UIs in this space seems to takes time, going by other development of other services.

2) These are not breaking problems. They are annoying, and for technical people probably more than for casual users. But they are not on a level which will reach major attention.

3) D+ is a streaming-service, so they care more about quality of video. And even there they fail pretty often. For such a big company, it's quite surprising how much they still need to learn.

Tiny files are fine if you fetch them from NVMe and keep the queues fed, i.e. you need to issue multiple concurrent reads, not do it sequentially. Not being on windows helps too.

I think ultimately the big thing Rust brings to the table is that a lot of Rust's features is geared towards detecting problems as early as possible.

This means you get complexity, especially on the "initial phases".

* The initial learning curve is steeper than usual . You have x types of string instead of one or two, you have lifetimes, etc, etc. Fortunately you pay it once and then can use it many times (maybe with some revisits to the docs :P)

* The initial building of a feature might take a bit longer than in other less complex languages (the borrow checker gives you a particularly tricky error, etc). But what is happening here is that the language is picking up problems that other languages ... don't. They "defer to production".

Others are mentioning that cargo is another feature that helps. I think it does, but indirectly. What cargo does is improving the developer experience. Having all the packages at the tip of your fingers, without needing to jump over hoops like in other languages is just ... nice. Given the initial ramp up in complexity, and the initial harder-than-usual first write, anything that improves the UX goes towards alleviating that. I personally would put cargo on the same bucket as "helpful compiler messages" and "good docs".

I'd say most people do, yes. Especially when it's something like $10.
If you're talking about multiple iterations of the term "anti-vaxxers", then I'd argue that the term itself is no longer useful.

Nowadays it is used to create an us or them division. Which in turn removes any nuances.
I have a very very large GPU farm. We switched to ETC, for now. Why? Because it is the easiest one that doesn't require retuning everything. GPUs are like snowflakes and each one of my cards are tuned for hash/power/stability, individually. It is an insane amount of work to do this because the failure mode is that the card (and machine) crashes.
These Internet-connected cars are a real risk. Who knows what other things can be done remotely that us customers have no clue about?
