Not just hospitals, but my N=1 anecdote having seen a C-section in the afternoon vs morning is that the doctors are sharper and more focused in the morning.

Afternoon, after the first cups of coffee have worn off, and after the natural exhaustion from a long shift is not when you want to be having a C section.
> “PSVR games are not compatible with PSVR2, because PSVR2 is designed to deliver a truly next-gen VR experience,” explained Hideaki Nishino, a vice president of platform experience at Sony, in September.

That's just absurd. I don't have any PS equipment but I had mulled over the idea of getting a PS5 and PSVR since I enjoy my Quest 2 and would like better graphics/processing power but I don't want to build a gaming PC for PCVR. Not supporting older games feels very gross.

A curated list of articles, videos for learning software architecture patterns
I did a few a few months of contracting at a major voting machine company. They make a significant portion of all US voting machines. They had 4 developer teams Firmware (C++ where I was), UI (web tech on a voting machine), poll book (java), and a web/support team. Before I was hired in a massive influx of contractors each team was something like 3~5 people, except UI which was a new team with the contractor hiring spree.

After the work was done, they shed nearly all the contractors and about half of their previous full time employees. Just quadrupled their staff to make a voting machine then fired them all.

They hired me as an "Embedded Software" on their Firmware team. It was a total shitshow we didn't have unit tests or CI. The new hires insisted on it and I spent a bunch of time maintaining a Jenkins setup for the team that really helped.

The pay wasn't great, a little less than defense contracting, which was a little less than insurance companies and slow finance companies.

If that is what most embedded development is like then I see why it is brings the average down.
Hey, I created a curated list of articles, and videos to learn and practice software architecture about 2 years ago, and I update it continuously.

The western world made a show of trying, but trying to balance political considerations with covid control is basically impossible. When cases are low, the political pressure to relax restrictions is irresistible, and then R goes above 1, but the political will to do anything about it comes too late to help much.

Frankly I'm surprised that China managed to control Omicron. It's certainly a social-technical feat.

In the end, only time will tell whether the Chinese strategy was a good one for China. Obviously China has paid extreme costs to maintain its policy. It's still unknown what the longer term results to the health of the population will be in other countries will be though.
I don't disagree that they transitioned the industry to higher quality materials but they fully embraced the fashion lifecycle. There's a new iThing released every year immediately making your fully functional prior year iThing obsolete.

They might be using higher quality materials and adhere to aesthetic functionalism or whatever but their products fully embrace the fast-fashion expiration date.

Some games presented the Dual Shock 4 controller visually tracked in game, even if they managed to do a compatibility layer those games still relied on tracking the DS4 controller light via the camera.

But at least some devs have confirmed their psvr games will be patched to support the new version, like No Man’s Sky.
It's academic
VoLTE doesn't do it on its own.

If you're calling within the same carrier with "HD voice", AMR-WB at 12.65kbps scores a higher MOS than old-school G.711 64kbps PCM (and is more pleasing in some ways that the MOS doesn't capture).

Sure, if they'd just give us another couple dang kilobits/second it'd be way better still, but...

At this point, the bandwidth used for voice is pretty much irrelevant from a cellular capacity planning point of view-- people use >5GB/month on average and 24/7 12kbps calling is less than 5GB/month.

> the entire internet and Dorsey and Zuckerberg should meet it by offering the terms of a peace treaty in which they pledge.... But we realize that as the de facto public square, we are better off adopting the First Amendment as our standard than trying to improvise our own, and don’t want to arrogantly substitute our judgment for that of the Court, who has a more than two-century head start on us in grappling with difficult speech issues.

How can multiple platforms (FB, Twitter) be the public square?
The appeal to authority (Court with 200 years head start has better judgment) is also out of touch.
Think of it as a socially driven RSS feed. On the one hand I enjoy following e.g. Science magazine directly. But the social part is that I follow people who post things they find interesting and often I find those things interesting as well. It's not really a platform for discussion as much as sharing links to content.
Good. And cut out the US American payment giants as soon as possible. Allowing them to control such a large amount of inter-EU payments is a huge security risk.

Every country, or union of countries, should be in full control over its payment services and infrastructure.
It's better than having integrated headphones I think. If the included ones (however basic they are) are in-ear, then the immersion and sound quality would likely be better than anything that would be attached to the headset.

Onboard audio is just a waste of money for something that neither casuals nor enthusiasts would care about (former by definition, latter because they would prefer to use their own audio gear).

Lack of wireless is a definite minus though.
> able to logistically handle zero covid

Seeing as we are almost 12+ months post delta/omicron and local outbreaks have consistently been contained to prevent uncontrolled geometric spread, yes PRC is logistically handling zero covid. Over many lock downs, of various sizes, across different regions, to keep spread at so-far managable levels.

> logistical disaster / always resulted in / it's lead to death

Of course, it's not a smooth 5star process, shutting down urban regions with millions fundmentally can't be. That's not a failure of policy, but acceptable baseline for competent epidemiologic management, competence being it contains spread and saves significantly more lives than it takes. Some pain/death is inevitable operating on the scale of hundreds of millions. The "very thing it's suppose to avoid" is millions of deaths due to uncontrolled spread and overwhelmed medical system, not a hundreds/thousands of incidental deaths because someone peoeple starved/suicided/bus crashed. Same with increasing chance of local spread to prevent higher order spread. Like these aren't exquistily managed bespoke interventions, they're coarse but by now tested methods that can be implemented in a snap. Of course it's not clean, but it's better than health system collapsing. The cost benefit analysis of maintaining zero covid, when one can, and PRC can, is obvious. So obvious that I'd argue they're politically trapped by repeated demonstrating ability to logistically execute zero covid.

Instant payments in euro? It's called cash you fucking authoritarians! It is never "locked in transit in the financial system" and can be instantly "consumed" and "invested" by the receiving party.

> while preserving the effectiveness of screening of persons that are subject to EU sanctions, through a procedure whereby payment service providers will verify at least daily their clients against EU sanctions lists

> in full conformity with existing rules on sanctions and fighting financial crime

The real reason: to have government approve every transaction. Sure they mean russians now but it will expand. We've seen the massive overreach of government force the past 2 years to keep people confined in their homes. Too critical of government? Sanctioned. Bought too many calories? Sanctioned. Bought too many joules of energy? Sanctioned.
What exactly is the complaint?
Many people wouldn’t see an issue until they’re either personally affected or are the kind to look at privacy and freedoms deeply.

The question for you is whether the government has a need or the right to know every penny (or whatever fractional currency you can legally use) that you move around. This shouldn’t be confused with the government having a need to know about incomes and/or wealth for taxation purposes. Sales or consumption taxes collected by sellers don’t typically care who exactly pays it or what the mode of payment is.

Trusting a nebulous entity like a government to track every expense and every money transfer would be draconian, and would be understandable only in dictatorships and authoritarian regimes (and the ones very close to becoming one).
And why are you showing up with a bag of cash?
There were a number of studies like this:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34355689/

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34738514/

Those studies pretty consistently found benefits in the 40-60% range against the original strain. Unfortunately, we had political opportunists discouraging adoption and then Delta and Omicron evolved so the scenario public health experts had been worried about happened.

Regarding the claim that Pfizer and Moderna didn’t test for transmission, this has been muddied substantially by its popularity as a talking point for antivax activists and right-wing pundits trying to present it as a conspiracy of some sort. In reality, Pfizer and Moderna worked with the FDA to design the phase 3 trials and they all decided to focus on protection against serious outcomes, but that doesn’t mean that they didn’t look for signals in the data or that other studies weren’t in progress. All of this was clearly communicated at the time, too, so I would question the motives of anyone who tries to say it was buried – at the very least, that’s saying they get their news from untrustworthy sources.

This is covered at considerable length here:

VR PC games manage to run on Quest, Vive, you name it - the controllers being different isn’t a very compelling argument why they’ve not given any backwards compatibility support.

As for the software abstraction being poor, that’s also just bad engineering on Sony’s part then.
Same with when GitHub annoys everyone and the folks pop up announcing their move to GitLab.

For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software.

> C is an extremely simple language.

C is simple compared to others, however it is far from "extremely simple".

The language i'd call extremely simple (while still being usable) is Wirth's Oberon-07[0]. Note the "-07" part, there have been a bunch of "Oberons", many which add a ton of additional stuff, not all Oberons are the same or even can be called simple. Oberon-07 however was designed to be simple while also being usable to create a full GUI OS on a custom architecture[1].

After experiencing how good Oculus Link works over Wi-Fi LAN, I won't purchase any wired VR headset no matter the quality. Wi-Fi is fast enough to stream high quality video to any of these headsets but for some reason it is still not embraced in the circle.
I learned C++ to teach myself graphics programming. I'd expect the graphics students of the future to use Rust + Vulkan or something like WebGPU.
I am very very doubtful that people will once again start caring.

Even a decade ago, it was known that hardware gains wouldn't be as spectacular as before. It was predicted that this would lead to rise of specialized programming models such as GPGPU, DSPs, more focus on optimization, with a particular eye to hardware architecture, memory access patterns etc.

What actually happened?

Everything runs in the browser buried under six layers of Javascript and talks to a bazillion servers running microservices and passing JSON over HTTP to each other.

People care about optimization even less today than they did a decade ago.

I've played the OS switcheroo game previously, it's wasteful and expensive. At this point I won't touch anything RHEL based. I have no doubts someone at IBM is working on making RHEL incompatible with other clones.

The answer is simple, Debian. True freedom.
I would guess it's because psvr1 depended on an external camera for tracking from both the headset and controllers. The new headset has internal cameras and a completely new control system. I would expect it will be each developer that has to make their old game psvr2 compatible.
SQL is intrinsically tied to set theory and borrows a ton of terminology and logic from set theory. Whether you understand that it's from mathematics or not doesn't really matter. You are using set theory and it's terminology regardless.

I've only really ever seen monoids referred to in Haskell. If you actually read my comment, Haskell is not all FP (no PL is). It's not even a significant portion of FP. So just don't use Haskell, it's hardly the first FP language I would reach for and it's probably not the one you should either.

Also, any person willing to learn would be intrigued by the terminology, not reject it as something that's "gatekeeping". Such a defeatist attitude will not get you very far in a field as complex as this.
> The thing is, SMS 2FA is still way better than no 2FA and users are more likely to use it since it requires very little effort on their part.

(SMS 2FA + Strong Password) is worse than (SMS 2FA + Weak Password).

SMS 2FA doesn't solve phishing and it muddies your identity with a weak, transferable identifier. If you've taken the time to set up SMS 2FA for yourself you could have just used a strong password, especially since password manages are now built into browsers.

At least with TOTP you aren't adding additional vulnerabilities, but frankly most 2FA is pointless unless it's FIDO2, assuming you just use a password manager and use strong passwords.
I would consider a career change to something you're more suitable for... hopefully something less stressful too.

But don't wait too long. Being out of work for an extended period of time makes it psychologically difficult to find work again, and extended periods of not working makes most employers wary of hiring you. So the longer you're out of work, the harder it'll be for you to find work.

Even if your next job is not perfect, at least it'll put food on the table while you're there, and finding another job won't be as hard as it would be after a long period of not working.

Also, consider psychedelic therapy. It can give you a new perspective on your own life and the world, and there's a lot of research showing it can be very effective at treating major depression.
This meta metaphor on Meta is itself a creepy metaphor
That’s why the feds backstopped unemployment and airdropped stimulus checks. Dropping the interest rate was unnecessary and caused more harm to vulnerable class than good by increasing inflation. This recession caused raising interest rate will wipe out the vunerable class once again while upper income classes won’t even notice except in their portfolios. We see this currently with luxury spending still elevated while other sectors are seeing softening demand.
That is why I think it is never good idea to talk to recruiters. Most of them would not spot a difference between golden laying goose and some mediocre person. There are enough companies out there where one can come and apply without going through a recruiter.
> I'm hoping with the PSVR2 launch that people will finally realize that the metaverse consists of way more than just meta and Horizon.

In what ways can Rust be considered a complex language? It's not very much larger than C, after all.

Well, I suppose the standard library is actually, well, standard, instead of a de facto standard.
Correct. As a tool serving humans, we want the tool to reflect the decisions humans should make given the same broad swath of data.

"Unbiased machine learning models" is basically a nonsense idea; a machine learning engine is a discrimination / classification tool, and its entire point is to become biased based on inputs so that on future inputs, its outputs tilt over in a desired fashion instead of just being uncorrelated noise. Making those biases have the desired shape is the art and science of the process.

Show HN: Eleven – Code sandboxes with automatic HTTPS
Hey HN,

Eleven is the second project that I've built to learn Go. It lets you create a code sandbox in your cloud provider account easily.

What's a "code sandbox"? Just a VM, running in your cloud provider account, with some runtimes pre-installed, your repositories cloned, a way to connect to it with your preferred editor (or via SSH) and a way to serve your apps easily via HTTP (with automatic HTTPS).

You could use it to deploy your app, as a remote development environment or even to test some code. It's up to you.

For example, to deploy a Node.JS app:

$ eleven aws init hello-world --runtimes node@18.7.0 --repositories eleven-sh/hello-world

> Success! The sandbox "hello-world" was initialized.

$ ssh eleven/hello-world forever node index.js

> Forever: command started. Run "forever stop" in current path to stop.

$ eleven aws serve hello-world 8000 --as hello.eleven.sh

> Success! The port "8000" is now reachable at: https://hello.eleven.sh

$ curl https://hello.eleven.sh

> Hello World

Still learning Go by the way, so I'm open to any suggestions to improve.
It seems most of the email services that give even basic protection of one's privacy are NOT in the United States.

If anyone here is looking for a business idea, I would absolutely sign up for an email service that is based in U.S. and provides a guarantee (in writing) that it 1) doesn't track the user across the web after they sign in to email 2) doesn't scan or parse data from emails in any way 3) doesn't sell any information it obtains from me or about me to any third party 4) doesn't make any of its money at all from advertising 5) maintains high operational security standards.

Notice that I'm not even asking for end-to-end encryption like Protonmail provides. I just want something that is in my home country's legal jurisdiction (for business reasons), doesn't track me invasively nor sell my data, and is well-run.

I believe a company could make a lot of money if they communicated this offering to the public and maintained a decent brand reputation.
But we didn't need lower interest rates.

Support for the poor or laid off, in terms of a check, yes.
It's amazing how badly embedded programming and C++ programming in general pay compared to the others you mention like Python & Ruby. A good C++ programmer has to know a whole lot more (and be careful about a whole lot more) than a Python or Ruby programmer does. C++ is well known to be a complicated beast - probably the most complicated programming language in existence with plenty of footguns. And an embedded developer needs to know a lot about both software and hardware.
Fixed, I appreciate it!
I agree with you, but we had been incredibly lucky with the way covid mutated into much weaker omicron so quickly (no, we didn't get permanent antibodies that can handle it all from now on forever, most folks have almost 0 of those now if they only got vaccines and no real infections).

If it mutates back into more morbidity, we will be in much worse position since I don't think we will have a realistic option to repeat that stimulus without plunging whole world into (not only) economic chaos.
It's unclear if there will be a solution (possibly not supported by Sony) to use it as a display for PC.
