No idea what everyone is on about calling season 1 “woke”. Have no clue what that refers to. I think the big problem was that it was pretty stupid and boring and confusing and poorly acted. Having not read the books, the only thing I really liked was the Lee Pace genetic dynasty which apparently isn’t even in the books.

I'd never even heard of the app, Azumo Argus, and 1.2m users as a sample size isn't that great. I also know plenty of runners who don't log anything because there's not much point for casuals just looking to exercise rather than become professional athletes.
That is one study in children. And it looks like the most plausible explanation would be that catching actual influenza confers resistance to non-influenza infections, which is inhibited by preventing influenza. And if that is due to stimulation of innate and intrinsic immune defenses then that would explain why children show a high signal for that. There's a whole lot which isn't clear about that, it isn't clear that it affects adults the same way. It isn't clear that it is conceptually possible to have an influenza vaccine which doesn't do that. And it isn't clear that is a net negative since influenza tends to be much worse than other respiratory viruses (up until a few years ago anyway).

Yes, but so what? We speed up evolution and force more adaptation. It's not good or bad. It just is.
For a lot of this stuff 20 years is basically new in my book. MPI dates back at least 30 years and I still sometimes wonder if the only reason we don't use it anymore is because nobody wants to deal with C. I spend too much time these days watching technology like Spark make things slower rather than faster because nowadays the Java platform (not to mention containerization) is becoming an increasingly efficient way to splat oneself into the memory wall.
Anything can be proven possible by a single exceptional example. The question I would ask is what's probable.

If someone just says "AVX" they usually mean AVX(1). And that's what the article is discussing.

AVX-512 forking into tons of different beasts is a separate, but related, problem. But it's more like how SSE2, 3, 4, 4.1 and so on existed.

Sometimes people said "SSE" and they might have meant one the later versions, but I don't hear the same statement with AVX, since people very explicitly seem to say AVX2 and AVX512.

> he says that an enslaved child could, somehow, be “entirely willing”.

I think the real problem is that the journalist lacks the moral vocabulary to explain why RMS and Minsky are both wrong, and must resort to nonsensical legalisms. Virginia Giuffre was 17 when this happened, making her, in the words of the author, “an enslaved child.” But according to sex-positive feminism a mere year later she could’ve be an empowered sex worker. Under that logic, whether Minsky could tell the difference between those is dispositive of his moral culpability. And of course that’s ridiculous.

The real explanation is that a 17 year old is a child and cannot meaningfully consent to sex with a 73 year old man. Nor can an 18 year old. Or a 21 year old. It’s inherently coercive and wrong. And Minsky sure as hell knew that Giuffre was young and not on equal footing with himself.

I believe the Qualcomm and Mediatek-based ARM Chromebooks have binary blobs.
I am not retired yet (so feel free to ignore my N=1) but I have also observed that the previous companies I worked for are reaching out with blank checks.

I think it has to do with RTO and layoff morale hits decimating the senior workforce, compounded by companies not being willing to train staff anymore and just cannibalizing each other for seniors. Another compounding factor is simply the seasonality of recruitment in tech. Recruitment efforts wind down for Nov - Jan, and peak in May - Jun and Oct; specifically after the quarter's financials are done.

These short-term factors could also exist within a larger trend. But it's good to remember that they are present.

I feel like this is heavily connected with the idea of legacy. I grew up in Scotland, and lots of the buildings, culture, etc, have been around for hundreds of years. It would be nice to feel like something I was building would last as long and outlive me. It doesn’t though.

Sometimes I think that this is just the nature of software development. Most of the stuff I build is built to solve an immediate business problem. It probably lasts 5/10 years and then someone rewrites it in a new language, or more often the task isn’t relevant anymore so the code gets deleted.

I find myself thinking that maybe if I’d been in civil engineering or something then I’d be building stuff that lasts, but speaking to people who’ve worked a long time in construction has taught me that it’s the same there. Most of the buildings that go up, come down again in a few decades once regulations/fashions change or the new owner of the site wants something else.

Every so often something like a Cathedral gets built, and those get built to last. But most people don’t get to work on those. If there’s a software equivalent of a Cathedral then I still haven’t found it.
Your explanation fell flat. It didn’t land. It’s not sticking.
Nice site and explanations, I think there would be value in adding a few more analogies / examples where it gets math heavy - my brain borks at some of the equations as while I'm good with logic - I'm pretty terrible with math - but maybe it is simply required understanding.

You took me literally. Basically IRS can file taxes for all your details without adjustments. If you want to make adjustments, there should be an easy way to fill them in and be done with them. Donations, tax credits, etc.

Most brokers send all the info to the IRS, but there are some that get wrong cost basis for ESPP (Fidelity looking at you) and so you’ll have to rectify that too. But those things should spit out a number that gets adjusted from the IRS number.
I can manage it because I’m a nerd. My technologically inept father on the other hand, could not.

As far as Stallman's choices of what to debate, and how, and where are concerned.

I apologize for saying your use case is incorrect-- clearly, someone using a screen reader would have a totally legit if still comparatively uncommon use case. I have used the modern web in screen readers because I've developed modern web pages to be accessible, which by my estimation means doing more than using a WCAG scanner.

I still think it's ridiculous to say that developers are doing something wrong by using modern practices just because it doesn't fit your use case. You can have your opinion all you want to and I can have my opinion about it.

> You've talked right past me. Metaprogramming is not compile time text processing.

I'm not talking past you. I never said metaprogramming is compile time text processing. You said "Elixir can already accomplish compile time text processing with metaprogramming", and I was just pointing out that the text processing itself is not the most interesting part of the example, it's the resultant types.

> No. It's probably even how the Microsoft team are achieving the typing you're talking about. The special sauce here isn't as special as you think.

But I don't have to reimplement any of this, because Microsoft has already written it. With enough time maybe you could implement dependent typing using metaprogramming for example, but would you then say that Elixir is just as good at dependent typing as Idris, which has that feature built in?

> I was just saying that what you're talking about is totally possible with metaprogramming.

You've graduated from saying "I think someone more savvy with Elixir would know more." to "totally possible"[1]. This does not sound like an argument from experience.

> That's specifically because strict static typing with guards^ is at least difficult, but maybe impossible, and that's what the PhDs are trying to figure out.

A lot of what you're talking about has already been implemented in other languages. This is not untrodden ground. There's no syntactic sugar for guards in JS (which TS just adds type annotations to), but semantically it's very similar to type narrowing in TS [2], which I use daily. This is not something I've read about casually on the internet.

You're leaving out a crucial piece that is seldom mentioned. Business as usual is safe and easy by comparison to guessing when a new variant or China shutdown or war is going to light off. Competition can lead to lean enterprises when things are predictable.

When things are unpredictable, you bias for survival by keeping a little more reserve, and if you do it right, that hopefully shows up as extra profit when things end up smoothing back out.

As an aside, the violence of the whiplash could be reduced in the absence of price gouging laws. If there's about to be a giant run on masks, it's a very good thing for the distribution and production of masks to see sudden infusions of cash from higher prices, even if their costs of doing business magically didn't increase. And all this without getting into the stimulative impacts of higher prices for other firms.

It is an unusual comment when there are other methods for removing invasive pests other than pulling them out. When they work Biological pest control methods can be extremely effective and work quickly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_pest_control

While some forms of bio control require extensive research programs to prove safety, others can be as simple as planting native species that complete with the weed.

Here in New Zealand, gorse is a horrible, also yellow, woody shrub weed that is near impossible to remove with chemicals or by pulling it out (it just grows back). A solution was found simply to plant native trees under the gorse. The gorse ends up sheltering the native tree and once the native grows up it shades the gorse and the gorse dies off.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorse_in_New_Zealand

A lot of bio control research is done in New Zealand to help pacific islands deal with invasive species. The tropical climates mean that when invasive weeds arrive, they spread like crazy disrupting the fragile ecosystems.

My coworker and I were pair programming some Rust today. We were working on a convenience wrapper whose whole purpose is to reduce boilerplate. So, by its nature there's a lot of internal generic traits, thread safety, etc.

He knows Rust well but software design not so much. I know software design well but Rust not so much. My experience can be summed up with:

let &mut writer = Writer<T>::writer::new(connection.clone()).clone();
// TODO ???
writer.write(*data.clone()).unwrap();

Meanwhile in C++ I'm like

if (!write(connection, data, data_len))

Well it very likely could be bad for us which I care about for a while.

And it’s actually anti-Darwinian to even refer to “speeding up evolution.” There is no destination here. Things do not necessarily get better, more interesting, more beautiful, and so on. They just change, and they are already changing in ways that don’t seem desirable.

Of course “desirability” itself is subjective as well, in theory. In practice I suspect almost every human would prefer a world that is more biodiverse over one that is less biodiverse, all things being equal. Still a human value, but of course those are all we have when we need to make decisions.

Show HN: Chatness v4 – Build chatbots under 3 min
Hey fellow hackers!

So after 15 days since I shared my product here [1]. I reworked basically everything from the ground up to provide a reliable SaaS platform now.

in the early stages, I only offered a self-hosted option for Chatness [2] and got invaluable feedback for my chatbot business. Reflecting on this feedback, it became clear that I was targeting the wrong market, relying too heavily on Firebase for the backend and neglecting the potential of a SaaS option.

But the problem is, Firebase just doesn't scale. if you need something more robust, you need to go with something else.

Determined to get things right this time and not worry about future tech debit, I rebuilt all the infrastructure using Node and MongoDB, and also added features highly requested by early adopters.

now, Chatness is ready to empower people by providing valuable tools like never before, but this is just the start.

As always, any kind of feedback is greatly appreciated. If you want to keep up with my work, make sure to subscribe to the Changelog [3] and follow me on Twitter [4]

Thank you.

Stewan.

Ok, I asked from MongoDB:

https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-74457
No because I feed my wallet public key (xpub) to scripts that derives the wallet addresses, and I verify that the derived addresses match what my wallet generates. I'm paranoid like this :)

Granted that would be really inconvenient to do if one used the wallet on a daily basis. In my case I use it rarely enough (large transactions only) that it doesn't bother me that much.
Oh! That's Stinknet? OK. Well, yeah. It's everywhere in Arizona. There were recently some winds and an uptick in weed growth in just about every neighborhood in the Phoenix metro from what I saw. As csb6 mentioned, it's everywhere. I'm not sure people are really paying that much attention though. Weeds are weeds. You get rid of them. They happen.

Personally, I think it's a quite attractive weed. I don't want it in my yard, and I've gotten rid of it a few times now, but I don't mind it. It's just a part of lawn maintenance, and there is a period of time where I enjoy the natural growth before a manicure.

That being said, it has made some abandoned plots look like meadows now, in my opinion. I welcome the change.
> There’s no reason to think SPAs are in any way objectively better in terms of either UX or DX.

No. Not without knowing the use case, the requirements, the users, and all of that. Sometimes I don't need anything beyond a text editor for something I make. Use the right tool for the job.

> I can’t count the number of SPAs that manage to break basic browser functionality like links, back/forward navigation and scrolling. It’s insane.

Yes. With more powerful tools you can fuck more things up, more thoroughly than with less powerful tools. That's not a problem with tools, that's a problem with bad development and design. Assuming that the person who fucked it up that badly would have made a better experience with less powerful tools is almost certainly wrong.

Or just that we can't stabilize/synthesize the protein usefully in a vaccine with existing techniques.

One of the big deals of mRNA is that because you get the proteins made in-vivo (in the body), you inherit all the body's machinery to do this naturally - after all, viral replication requires using that exact same machinery in order to replicate up the viral proteins in the first place.

I'd say something like TeX might be a software cathedral, and even that one isn't going to last much longer than Knuth himself (almost everyone today doesn't run TeX, they run a compatible software platform, some are even entirely different).

But even a Cathedral changes over time, and your work may not last; but all human work is a shrill scream against the eternal void - all will be lost in time, like tears in rain. The best we can do is do the best with what we have in front of us. And maybe all the work you did to make sure your one-off database code correctly handled the Y38 problem back in 2000 will never be noticed; because your software is still running and didn't fail.

They say it’s damaging because it promotes wildfires which kill off the other plants.

To invoke the RIIR train, probably a lot of fertile ground in being the definitive Rust implementation of "solved" foundational libraries: zlib, libpng, libjpeg, etc. Something ubiquitously used which has very minimal/no churn.

I agree with the sentiment. It would be more difficult to attack an SSH port when it's only accessible through an agreed upon Wireguard tunnel.

However, if you use pubkey and not password authentication, is there still any real risk? If I post to the public internet "my <hostname> is listening on port 22" and it's pubkey auth only, is anyone ever going to get in even if I allow unlimited bruteforce attempts? You'll have to steal my laptop to get the key, by which point you have my Wireguard config and keys as well.

Not at all to say defense in depth isn't worthwhile, of course it is, but I don't think ssh with pubkey is inherently vulnerable.

I use Wireguard and already implement the suggested topology. Just food for thought.
