In my mind unfortunately can only ever refer to a previous sentence, not the next one. I read the period simply as a stylistic choice meant as a pause. They could have written it with a dash or a comma:

> [...] they tend to be flagged to death by users regardless — unfortunately.
> mRNA vaccine production methods are tough, e.g. Moderna’s encapsulation technology

…and were invented with publicly-funded research that they’ve now privatized, resulting in large death tolls from vaccine inequity in poor countries.
It's well respected in the sense that when you're at a dinner party and tell people that you're a school teacher everybody says "Oh how nice! that's such an important job. You must love working with the kids, right? So rewarding to be able to make a difference"

Contrast when you tell somebody you're a lawyer or lobbyist, some people will be impressed but other people will get a bit uncomfortable and try to change the subject or start telling "lawyer jokes".

Can you completely exclude that there are some awful long-term consequences of Covid-19 we do not know about and that could be prevented by vaccine?
But that wouldn't vanish the patent issue?
when "foo" has a negative connotation, no one is going to "be a Foo" they will instead "behave like a Foo".

> there are 10 cats. 3 cats are legless. how many heads are there?

If there are 10 cats and 3 of them are legless, then there are 10 - 3 = 7 cats with heads.

Yea, it seams so.
Past the edit cutoff, so here is an important edit.

In the 2nd paragraph, i missed a word and meant to say “[…] they went with a Cell chip, making gamedev experience for it notoriously and uniquely overcomplicated.”
"[unfortunate statement]. Unfortunately." is idiomatic (if informal) English. "Unfortunately. [unfortunate statement]." is not, especially in this case where the second statement is parenthesized. If it was "Unfortunately:" or "Unfortunately," that would be different.
I love eink. It’s so underused, especially in the home setting, where it can be a real asset as a calm technology. I think it could be a good passive screen for young kids as it’s not a traditional “screen” yet can still communicate information.
> NeoVim feels sluggish compared to Helix.

Of course, if you offer only a portion of NeoVim's features the speed improvement should not be surprising.
No, I can’t. Nobody can at this stage unfortunately.
Yes! The worst is that even if you set up all kinds of reports etc. on what you expect, if the backup runs for weeks/months successfully, you just stop paying attention and then when something fails, you won't notice it.

I do think that file systems that support snapshots - like ZFS, but I think LVM can be used for stuff like ext4, and Apple APFS does too - is the way to go. Not sure how well NTFS's Shadow Copies/Volume Shadow Service work, I heard horror stories, but not sure if those are one-off freak accidents. Probably worth considering ReFS anyway these days on a Windows Server. But with a Snapshot, you're at least insulating yourself mostly from changes to the data you're backing up. At the expensive of managing snapshots, that is, getting rid of old ones after a while because they keep taking up space.
Brexit didn't happen in 2016, just the vote to begin the process, so the fact that Bloomberg are making this claim is misleading. Additionally when Brexit actually did get implemented it's had no effect on trade, in fact trade with the EU is up slightly. But that's all expected for anything to do with the UK in the media these days. They will keep lying and manipulating people on this topic forever.
It's also personalized, which to me says that it's unique and each could have different likelihood of autoimmune response.

The vaccine works by instructing the body to make up to 34 “neoantigens.” These
are proteins found only on the cancer cells, and Moderna personalizes the
vaccine for each recipient so that it carries instructions for the neoantigens
on their cancer cells.
What they're saying is that people attribute cancer deaths to a cause and see increasing rates as a sign there's an external cause of more cancers occurring, when realistically, what's being measured is more likely to be increasing rates of detection due to more sensitive methods.
Seems a bit passive no? The government has a job, but your way of handling it is the opposite of holding it accountable. Government is made of people and they will be as inefficient as allowed to be.
just is great, I add it everywhere, just test, just run, just fix, just shell. just works ;-)
Income doesn't define your social class. An assistant professor is higher class than an upp quartile software engineer despite earning the same as a fast food worker. Both are higher class than an oil rig worker despite making less.

Indeed. My view on vaccines is that they are not a cure but act as prevention agents.
I should rephrase, by dependencies I mean third party dependencies. That is on the build system not the compiler.

And make tends to fall significantly behind Ninja in my experience for cold builds. Here’s a post from someone else that echoes my experience https://david.rothlis.net/ninja-benchmark/ but for a sufficiently complex project even a well tuned make build is about 20% slower on CI, which is about 10-20m per build.

It also seems like you’re giving make the benefit of the doubt when it comes to “most being badly written but my own is great”, while simultaneously deriding cmake without giving it the same benefit.

But to your larger point, and going back to my C vs other languages comparison (let’s pick C++ for arguments sake). Yes Make can do it all, but even by your own statements it requires doing everything correctly and there’s significant room for error. CMake makes the trade off of abstraction for a more consistent experience with minimal work.

This is similar to C and C++, where yes C can (1) do much better in the very very specific right hands, but (2) it can also become an unwieldy mess. C++ with RAII may seem perplexing from the lens of only accepting the former and not the latter. It lets people spend their time elsewhere on the system.

1-3 companions on a long walk with campfire conversations sounds like backpacking to me, aka good way to spend time with friends. Strangers? Not so much.
Idk how many women choose an engineer's career nowadays in Russia, but in Soviet times, the choice wasn't free. Talent was exploited like a natural resource. Perhaps some of it spills over to today, perhaps teaching is very poorly paid. Being an artist certainly is.

The American attitude since the late 80s seems to be summarized in the old quip: why be a physicist when you can be his boss?
You’re both right. It’s preventative, not prophylactic.

We’re strict with the latter because they’re administered to healthy adults. That doesn’t apply here. If you took every coronavirus mRNA vaccine side effect and multiplied the severity and frequency by two orders of magnitude, this vaccine would still be worth it for many with melanoma.
I learned a lesson early on in my career: never show a functional but ugly demo.

I once worked for months on a modern front-end for an incredibly old legacy system. This was so technically challenging that we weren’t sure if it could be done at all, so a functioning demo was a huge achievement.

What the customer saw was that it was ugly: black and white, plain text, no CSS, no styling of any kind.

They completely ignored the technical milestone and spent an hour asking if we could rearrange the buttons and change the colours. Bike shedding, in other words.

Since then I would much rather show something that’s very pretty but completely broken.
Not stamping out side-loading, although that is heavily impacted by many of the same issues, but stamping out aftermarket software stores.

Apps installed from aftermarket stores:

- Cannot auto-update themselves, it requires user intervention for every individual app for every individual update.

- Cannot update at all if they were initially installed from the Play Store without uninstalling and losing all data in the process.

- Require multiple hoops and scary messages for the average user.

- Require extra maintenance burdens for the developer who essentially has to maintain two forks of the same application, further complicated by point 2.

- The payment issues mentioned upthread.

All of this makes aftermarket stores second-class citizens, all the while Google claims it welcomes them with open arms. Aftermarket stores aren't the only area where Google does this, either. Plenty of Android-of-yesteryear's customizability and openness has atrophied heavily while Google continues to profit off the bitrotting scraps that are left.
He did go away for a vacation-style treatment a few years ago after offending Intel. Like a re-education camp.
Google couldn't have been restrictive from the start because of how Android came and solidified itself. Google tapped and profitted heavily on opensource, whereas apple had not only their OS but all the hardware developed in-house, without external collaboration for the most part.

The scenario surrounding iOS history lends itself pretty well for solid walled gardens
Humans, given the same input (seeing stars), may have a null hypothesis of the same output (story) moreso than expecting the same story to be unlikely random chance or coincidence.

The less special and more similar we are, the more I expect isolated cultures to converge on identical stories.

My father is getting a stent put in for a 70% artery blockage. Older of course but skinny, looks after his health, exercises. He had no symptoms like pain or being out of breath. Just high cholesterol.

A friend of mine in his early 30's healthy nearly got taken out by RSV last year because it aggravated a heart condition he was unaware of.

People aren't as healthy as they like to convince themselves they are.
But what is a good structure for modern text editors in 2024? Nowadays text editors need to keep track of git commits (by whom, when, which line(s)), reference and footnotes (the author mentions Markdown's manual [^...] notation but ideally you'd want something automatic—even latex isn't automatic by default), etc.
that doesn't really answer my question.
I've heard of these, but don't own one. Is the dolphin the equivalent of the Duolingo bird, or were you making a joke? (Sorry to ruin the joke if you were making one, I was just curious!)
True, but this should better be avoided, because in such cases reading the source files is not enough to understand what they do.

You must also be aware that they are compiled in a different way and you must search a frequently too big and obfuscated Makefile to discover which is the applicable compilation rule.

Unfortunately I have seen many projects that had used such tricks and it was always painful for maintenance to discover how they were supposed to work.
nice: friendly but also succinct.

how many people are using systems like cmake (or worse) who would be fine with just make (used right)?
That's how class works though? If you're getting paid a salary in exchange for your labor, you're by definition not upper class, even if the salary is generous. (And as previous poster notes, IT salaries in the UK are generally not great.)
In this market it would be financially unwise to build a software project the same way we build bridges.
A professional artist active in high status social circles is far higher regarded than a random FAANG engineer.
Is it worth the long term increase in cost if Apple pays Masimo? It's not a one off where you just pay up to continue operations. Pay one and many more will line up. I am sure Apple's analysts already have a number for how much profit they'd slough off if they pay off Masimo and many more follow.
The government told PG&E not to fix its broken ass infrastructure and cause a catastrophic fire? I think if you examine the historical record, you will find that the opposite occurred. The government told PG&E not to have 100-year-old infrastructure in fire prone areas, and PG&E decided to send dividends to its hedge fund owners instead of doing so.
Thank you for your response. You ask a good question.

I expect very long lines should work just fine, but I'll give it a try when I have a chance.

I represent lines using a virtual class that has a few implementations. IIRC, the line will start as a tree containing 64kb chunks. As edits are applied, these chunks will gradually get replaced with other implementations (of the virtual class) that delegate to the original instances (and the representation is occasionally optimized (which can incur copying) to avoid too much nesting). So simplifying, I think this should just work due to the optimized representation that I use for lines, which doesn't require the characters to be contiguous in memory.

I fully agree with your observation about how things often break in the corner cases. I actually also put a configurable cap on the number of cursors (e.g., a reg exp search stops after 100 matches).

For syntax highlighting I don't currently have a cap, but this is ~fine: it just ~wastes a background thread (all syntax parsing is offloaded to a background thread, not blocking the main thread). But yeah, I should probably make this thread give up after a configurable time out.
Can't understate how nice this is, lol. We all take it for granted, but it's such an amazing invention.

When I was a kid we didn't have potable water all the time (we had to boil everything that came from the faucet) and it would frequently go out (we'd fill up bathtubs just in case).

More recently, as a young adult I did some trailwork in the woods for a few months. We ran a long length of hose along a river and just used gravity to provide running water and piped it through a slow filtration system. Got maybe a gallon or two a minute, enough to do dishes and wash hands and slowly fill up water bottles, but that's it. No showers or laundry.

It would frequently clog and we'd have to go and figure out why, in the rain or smoke or dead of night. The filtration also wasn't perfect and the entire crew got cryptosporadium and was out for a good week, keeled over in pain one after the other.

Potable running water has probably saved more lives than anything else...
Yes this should really be called a vaccine. A vaccine is a preparation that stimulates the body's immune response against diseases. For example, a specific vaccine injection (such as a flu shot) can boost the body's own immune system to help protect against a specific disease (such as the year's flu variant).
PPPs are often a mirage. As long as there's a private actor involved, some of the input (money) will be siphoned off as profits. That's the height of inefficiency. Where the alternative is a competent, responsive and accountable government, the government will allocate the resources more effectively, and all "inefficiency" goes into working people's pockets. This is not always practical, for example in situations where only private businesses have highly specialized knowledge, but for basic infrastructure the private sector offers nothing the government couldn't do just as well.
I have to disagree with this, clearly visible under my profile. In general I try to stay clear of any vaccine debates, in general because of being labeled in certain ways I don’t identify myself with at all.
The reason preventative treatments are held to a higher standard is because they are given to a very large number of people who might never get the disease anyway. Hence, a 1 in 1000 risk is significant. If you are treating people who have had cancer, their risk of getting it again in much higher than 1 in 1000.
Ask HN: E-ink tablet recommendations for self-hosted sync
I was looking at the reMarkable and noticed ddvk/rmfakecloud made a project to self-host the interface. It looks promising, but I'm not tied into reMarkable yet. What device would folks go for if starting out today? The only core requirement is self-hosted sync. (reasons: privacy, vendor lock-in, Evernote failed, etc)
That's measured already since the 60s. You never see any reference to it because what it shows is a constant rate of increase that is entirely unaffected by literally anything you can think of. Rise of China? No impact. Lockdowns and the global air travel shutdown? No impact. Renewables revolution? Invisible. Great recession? Of course not. And all the international conferences and agreements.... well, you get the picture.

This fact is discouraging which is why the media and government enforce a blanket silence about it. Along with many other aspects of climate science.
> Well yes, in completely absurd and unrealistic situation the risk of taking vaccine might be larger than that of Covid-19.

What about a person living in simple solitude who works remotely and orders everything in? This is a realistic, non-absurd scenario and they would possibly risk getting Covid-19 on their way to the appointment of getting the vaccine.
Nice to see some love for make.

Sure, make syntax sucks. It's arcane and hard to google much of what is going on. (Shower thought... a tool that lets you view a Makefile, giving explanatory tooltips for syntax elements would be great).

But make is widespread, ancient and eternal. It isn't going anywhere, despite decades of new tools trying to take its place. It does many jobs relatively well.

I'd go so far as to say that the platonic ideal of development is:

make # Build the project

make install # Install the project

make clean # Clean the project build dir(s)

and whatever new tool you use to actually build things should live behind make. You should have a really good reason to deviate from this. It's approachable and familiar to most devs(well, ok, older C/C++ devs). Sure, write your own custom tool that builds everything in a chroot jail or docker container, has sub tools for installing, running tests, etc... but please, put it behind a make frontend.

Prime Video forcing ads from January
Got this email:

“Dear Prime member,

We are writing to you today about an upcoming change to your Prime Video experience. Starting January 29, Prime Video movies and TV shows will include limited advertisements. This will allow us to continue investing in compelling content and keep increasing that investment over a long period of time. We aim to have meaningfully fewer ads than linear TV and other streaming TV providers. No action is required from you, and there is no change to the current price of your Prime membership. We will also offer a new ad-free option for an additional $2.99 per month* that you can sign up for here.”

Well, thanks for clarifying!

I enjoy satire and sarcasm; but I found the parody of "dylanologists" weak enough that maybe that was how he actually thought. And anyway, is that really still a thing? So I doubted that he was trying to pastiche something we've all thought was silly for a couple of decades.

> there are 10 cats. 3 cats are pregnant. how many legs are there?

If there are 10 cats and 3 are pregnant, then the total number of cats that are not pregnant is 10 - 3 = 7.

Since each cat has 4 legs, the total number of legs for the non-pregnant cats is 4 * 7 = 28.

Therefore, the total number of legs for all of the cats is 28.

It is not how it works, Bard xdd I cannot wait when all the support interaction would be based on that...

It's not just about the concepts, there's a visual coder built in. It's real programming, just with a GUI.
