I vaguely remember reading about the first handful of reported infections here on HN at the very end of 2019, somewhere around NYE. It was a very strange feeling to start the year with.

It might have been this article, the earliest (relevant) mention of pneumonia cases I could find: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21926713
How would we know if there would be a genomic signature if the database of viruses Wuhan worked with wasn't opened up?

There is not plausible mechanism for anyone from the Wuhan laboratory to get sick with a virus they are studying?
This happened several times, and happens 100's of times a year (not Wuhan specifically but labs).

There is some circumstantial evidence it was a lab leak. Like the virus doesn't naturally occur in the Wuhan district, and the Wuhan Institute of Virology is one of the few in the world that study coronaviruses and do gain of function research. Unlike SARS and MERS where we discovered the origins quickly, we still don't know the origins of covid-19. I don't know how you leap to the conclusion it was of natural origins when we don't even know what those natural origins are.

We don't know if it's a lab leak or not, but they do happen and they've fairly common. (10's-100's per year)
The US leaking capability to SA is like China leaking capability to NK. When SA runs fully amok the US will be worse off than if it were just in conflict with a single opponent because alliances with garbage bring you into a 2 against 200 position that is almost entirely outside your control.
I honestly don't know, but I do think it's dangerous to assume an alien mind capable of interstellar communication would "think" sufficiently like human brains do for abstract concepts like calculus to be necessary or even make sense.

That's now how bananas work. Bananas are sterile hybrids; that's why they're cloned in the first place. Other plants are cloned for other reasons, typically because they don't grow true from seed.

Luckily for us, banana plants grow like bromeliads. They flower and fruit then die. But not before sprouting several new stalks. So they're really easy to propagate by separating the new stalks once they get big enough.

TL/DR: xsv is probably what you want, or maybe zsv and/or awk

awk can do this super easily. Here's an example snippet that not only shards, but compresses your shards.
```
(NR - 1) % shard_size == 0 { # ready to start a new shard
current_n = current_n + 1
output_file = sprintf("%s%04d.%s.bz2", target_prefix, current_n, file_type)
print "writing to " output_file > "/dev/stderr"

# close any prior-opened output_command (else will err on too many open files)
if(output_command != "")
close(output_command)
output_command = "bzip2 > " output_file

# print header
print headrow | output_command

}

NR != 1 {
print $0 | output_command
}

```

This of course assumes that each line is a single record, so you'll need some preprocessing if your CSV might contain embedded line-ends. For the preprocessing, you can use something like the `2tsv` or `select -e ...` command of https://github.com/liquidaty/zsv (disclaimer: I'm its author) to ensure each record is a single line.

You can also use something like `xsv split` (see https://lib.rs/crates/xsv) which frankly is probably your best option as of today (though zsv will be getting its own shard command soon)

I love treestyle tabs and being able to autohide it until I mouse over, but I can't get containers to ever work as expected. I would expect when I click a link to e.g. ebay it would open in my ebay container in a new tab, and when I google something it puts me in a google container, and when I click a reddit link it puts me into the reddit container. Instead I am often still in the ebay container. Temporary containers are even worse with this, I would think opening up a new link to a different domain would put me into a new temporary container, but I am still in tmp7 or whatever the numbers have marched up to. I have regressed to just facebook container because its simpler to deal with just one container and associated issues.
A big miss on the list, is that words (so a tag) do not mean the same things for each people and do not even mean the same things in different contexts
Makes sense. I have only used kqueue on macos to monitor a small number of files and I find it quite painful to use and the semantics were confusing, not sure if it is different on say freebsd.

Just as a heads up, one of the strange fsevents issues is that it fails if you register two directories where one directory is a prefix of the other. So say that you want to monitor directories $ROOT/foo and $ROOT/fo and you register an event stream first with $ROOT/foo and then $ROOT/fo, you will only receive events for paths in $ROOT/fo and no events for paths in $ROOT/foo (I just double checked that this is still the case in Monterey at least). I never bothered to report this to apple but worked around it by just registering a stream with $ROOT if I detected that one path name was a substring of another.
Um. So I think you're the first person I've ever encountered who had anything good to say for it. I never had the pleasure, so I'm working from second-hand accounts; what was good about it?
It should have always been low, we just didn’t have enough other information sources to be sure.
"Normal" is geographically bound.

I was born in Europe and was not aware of any other mode of going to primary or secondary school other than walking.

Now I'm in a small town in Canada where the city council consistently votes against any sort of public transit let alone walking improvements, and every family has multiple cars. Plus, most kids would not be allowed to walk alone and unaccompanied to school even if they could :(
You make a good point, and I like the term "bottleneck event". :)

I think a case could be made that nuclear itself causes a bottleneck event in that we get addicted to the energy since it's deceptively cheap for current generations (as long as nothing goes south).
It will also cause a problem that vastly outlasts the bottleneck itself. We will have to actively maintain nuclear waste for longer than humanity has used oil as fuel for example.

But to be fair, we already have the problem anyway, so keeping existing plants running makes sense to get through the bottleneck. A few more years of operation won't make a big difference.

But the amount of money needed for new plants, that will be operational 10+ years from now, should in my mind clearly be invested in things like green hydro, pumped storage etc.
I remember an article about that — bike ridership is so widespread that most drivers have someone in their family that bikes, if not a biker themself.

In the US, most cities have bussing programs to intentionally give kids long commutes. The goal is to put students from poorer areas in better schools.

Academic outcomes show this doesn’t help the students, but cities continue on regardless. What person thinks a 40 minute commute for a child is appropriate or healthy? I would be shocked if that worked for anyone.

This is the exact opposite I would have expected given that most major news outlets are left.
European towns were generally laid out in the days of horses and pedestrians before asphalt, cars, and sprawl. So it is easier for them to revert to bikeways and walkways. US cities were generally laid out when the US was the biggest oil producer and biggest car manufacturer. Now that we are in later days of the age of oil, people will continually curse the decisions of the past as we try with great difficulty to reconfigure.

I will believe it is groundbreaking after they prove it from operating for a few years. They might just be temporarily eating the cost for some medicines.

All I know is Costco has a far better reputation than Cost Plus or Cuban, so when someone claims they can get margins lower than Costco, I am skeptical. Cost plus is not even a pharmacy, they outsource all the hard and expensive parts like liability to Truepill. And adding middlemen to get prices lower makes no sense.

https://www.reddit.com/r/pharmacy/comments/wvd964/comment/il...

https://www.reddit.com/r/pharmacy/comments/wfsyif/costplustd...

Now if CostPlus had built factories for medicine and were selling it at a lower price because they developed a novel way to manufacture or have amazing management that figured out how to reduce COGS, I would be interested to learn. But given the nature of Cuban and the fact that they went with a viral marketing stunt with no substance, I am going to guess there is another angle to play here.

> Isn't Substack.com like the old "blogosphere"

No.

The old blogosphere would be stuff like wordpress.com or blogger... which mostly are still there.

Also tumblr (now with 100% less porn) and the now defunct myspace.

I know some people that got into web development just because they wanted to customize their homepages on tumblr/myspace.

But nowadays people get on twitter/facebook and all they get is the same shade of blue, same as everybody else.

EDIT: before that there were websites that would give away free hosting space... Like 100MB or something like that.
The "New Coke" problem was the Coke did blind taste tests, not realizing how many other things were relevant. They genuinely had reason to think they had a better product.

Meta hasn't done any taste tests. The product doesn't even really exist yet. To be a "New Coke" problem, you'd have to have marketing execs saying "b-b-b-but you preferred it when you tried it without the packaging".

Maybe they will one day have a New Coke problem. But for now they're just guessing about what people want, and failing to produce it.
The `rand` crate in Rust is a de facto standard, but it's not an official standard, so that does technically mean trusting a third-party library. A lot of the Rust ecosystem is structured this way, in part because package management with Cargo is convenient.
Seems justified, no? Feels like you have to search pretty hard for dispassionate, factual accounts of important events.

Although I think there are biases encoded in these poll results. For example, people are now more annoyed than ever when confronted with opinions that go against their own. This might make it more likely that they would report distrust in the media. They may be talking mostly about the liberal or conservative media without saying that explicitly.

I tried in 2017 writing it in rust and found some compiler bugs. I also found compiler bugs in c++ tho to be honest, but I felt more comfortable in c++ so decided to write the first version of it in c++. The huge advantage is that storage engines in particular need to be more conservative in many dimensions and having seen success with scylla, seastar was apealing to me as a 'tried and tested' for storage systems.

Prior systems I had built with facebook folly (c++ lib) and had also written my own eventing systems in the past, but the real value is having seastar being battle tested since 2016. Largely it has been the right decision for us as redpanda for it's young age has benefited from the stability of seastar.

> In either the sense of "peak tech startup investment activity" or
"technological progress as commonly undeerstood".

"Peak tech" is two words I just pulled out of my arse an hour ago.

Let's define it together.

For me it's a palpable sentiment not a definition. But some people
here seem to "get it".

The "tech industry" is not just an activity, it's a culture. Many of
us, including (particularly?) developers are increasingly fed-up and
disappointed by the direction digital technology is going. Not because
we dislike technology, but because of what a minority are doing with
it to gain power and wealth to the detriment of everyone else.

I don't think things will change for those investors who are smart
enough to see the writing on the wall and switch (as they are doing)
to physical technologies. FWIW I love the startup mind-set.

But this cynical flogging of surveillance capitalism, screwing over
users, social control and smartphone bandwagon has been sticking in
people's throats way beyond this community for some time.

The pain and anxiety equals or outweighs the perceived benefits - not
just to a few geeks - but to people like my parents, siblings and
neighbours.

That's "peak tech" for me.

This might be a difference of semantics- there is a difference between garbage collection as a concept being slow and python's GIL approach. My understanding is that the GIL would almost always make the top 3 reason of why python is slow in practice - it works for a very specific single threaded execution model but can't really take advantage of modern processors.
If they're configured correctly, multiple APs on a given network can actually lead to lower congestion, because they can each lower their signal strength to only cover a small area... but it sounds like that isn't what happened here.

8 in a single small home is absurdly excessive. My home is more than twice that size and I only have a single AP (although I have been considering adding 1-2 more.)
The ones used in the operating room are different, but for putting traction pins in broken legs (in mid-shaft femur fractures, they will put a pin through the lower part of the femur and hang weights off the end of the bed to straighten the fracture out until the patient can go to surgery), they just use a regular cordless drill since the procedure is not fully sterile.
At the most general level, it does run a 2732-by-2048-pixel display at perfectly smooth 120 hz, and that looks great with the Pencil. But I'd give that up to save a couple hundred bucks.

The main bummer with the base iPad display is that it's still using sRGB, while Apple has been using P3 gamut pretty much everywhere else since the iPhone 7. Not sure if I'd downgrade to that one, but I'd be fine with a 12.9" iPad Air.
Hard to get right, becomes a mess if you don’t. The toxic us vs them attitude can quickly take over and jam up any hope of progress. Having them on one team is helpful. Also having a healthy org culture of no blame games, mistakes are not ideal but they happen, and focus on spreading happiness to your customers in a sustainable way for everyone also plays a role.

Derek Lowe expresses a narrow definition of GOF to make his point and defend the research. Interestingly, using his definition, no proposed experiment could be classified as GOF because his definition depends on a successful outcome where a more pathogenic virus is produced which can only be determined after the fact. He misses the point that there are various definitions of GOF, and more importantly, that the people concerned about the experiments aren't concerned about the precise definition of GOF -- they are concerned with experiments that might reasonably generate successful GOF mutations.

their resulting phenotypes is considered a type of Gain-of-Function (GoF)

Making a 100% deadly virus more contagious, or from the other perspective, making an extremely contagious virus more deadly, certainly sounds like “gain of function” to me. In either case the virus under study has been made more dangerous / improved on its prior “function”, which was a likely outcome of the experiment. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
