> the question is whether scientific studies have yet to show transmission of infection that leads to disease.

We literally make adenovirus derivatives for cell therapy, and a lot of technical and engineering effort went into making the derivatives non-disease agents. I, personally, have made baculovirus derivatives for protein expression. E.g. https://www.addgene.org/kits/peters-bigbac/#?

The same with vaccine-induced polio and the like from attenuated live virus vaccines. How do you think scientists made those attenuated live viruses in the first place without isolating, engineering, bulking up, and then "infecting" (vaccinating) people with them?

Edit to add that baculovirus has been massed produced and used as an insecticide: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK543459/
In the context of food safety it's pretty unambiguous what E. Coli is referring to, and what to do about it. I was talking about my own knowledge having only really learned about it in that context working as a chef, and not in biology class.

I don't even know the distinction between a strain and a stereotype, so i guess I'll have to look it up.
A lot of inspecting transparent TLS firewalls look for high entropy blocks, the idea being to sniff out encrypted exfiltration. Making them low entropy is straightforward, as you say.
I agree with every comment robomartin has posted on this thread.

I'll add: I HAVE worked on schematic designs with 10-20 people working on an overall schematic design at the same time. Usually one or more engineers own some sub-section of the design ; i.e. for a mobile device, one or a few people own the "power" part of the schematic, the camera team owns the camera portion(s) of the schematic, etc.

Mentor (DxDesigner / Design Capture) and Cadence (Concept) support this flow, but with the oddly more popular but OrCad this can be a nightmare.
I'm not super familiar with LineageOS' funding model as a FOSS project, but I hope the community will be able to sustainably fund-raise into the future. I've been a member of their Patreon[0] for a couple of years now, I don't know much about where that money goes but I hope it helps defray the costs of development in one way or another. LineageOS is a very important thing to keep alive!

Ask HN: Anyone Using External Drive for iCloud?
I've read about some people using symlinks for iCloud to point to an external drive, but am not sure how reliable this approach is, and can't really get a straight answer from ChatGPT.

I have some files on an external drive which would consume my remaining storage capacity on the internal drive, and wish to sync them with iCloud.

The data is for a private dataset that I've built for machine learning purposes and is roughly 400 GB.
> It's worth noting that GP's example was about non-quantized rhythmic patterns, which are poorly understand by music theory.

Of course, if you can play it from a CD it has to be 'quantised' at some point.

However I agree that conventional music theory doesn't care about such fine degrees of quantisation.
>Are there other threats that TOTP-in-password-manager can protect against that the randomized passwords don't already?

tbh the UX problem of 2fa for "I use random passwords and am not vulnerable to credential stuffing" users is a pretty big reason to stick TOTPs in your password manager.

Security is always a series of trade-offs, and 2fa brings some hideous trade-offs in many sites (well over half only allow one at a time, for example, and then you lose access permanently). TOTP with a standard like this lets you choose, rather than the site choosing for you.

In general this line of argument is questioning how we can know that a particular virus causes a particular disease. It ignores decades of technological improvements developed toward actual viral bulkup, purification, and infection.

Is it easy to know that a particular virus causes a particular disease? Not always, particularly if the disease syndrome is complex. Is it possible to link particular viruses to particular diseases? Definitely. For the more straightforward diseases it's even relatively straightforward to show that a particular virus causes that particular disease, with enough work.
I personally consider the ArgoCD UI an anti-feature. Attaching some hulking mass of Javascript dependencies to the thing that has cluster-admin rights to my production cluster is unnecessary attack surface for me.

ArgoCD also has its own auth system and permissions. You give ArgoCD cluster-admin rights, then it uses impersonation to pretend like it has lower permissions. One little bug there and you can trick ArgoCD into escalating your permissions, which happens a lot: https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/security/advisories/GHSA...

While not officially supported, you can technically deploy Flux with limited permissions, but ArgoCD's dependence on impersonation means it cannot run with lower permissions.

Common-subatance-ivore is something that already has quite a bit of evolutionary pressure to exist. If it doesn't already its probably because eating it is not energetically advantageous enough.
Acceleration and Deceleration are symmetrical. It takes the same amount of delta-v to accelerate between up to 0.999c as it takes to decelerate all the way back down to 0. Though as you burn fuel your ship gets lighter and the actual energy usage to maintain that constant delta-v of 1G will go down.

As for the energy used to accelerate from 0C to 0.009C compared to 0.99C to 0.999C, I'm not sure. I know the time taken (from an external reference frame) changes, but part of me suspects the total energy stays the same and the difference in time taken is caused entirely by time dilation. However, I suspect I might be messing up reference frames, I don't actually know the equations.
The value is mostly in the software workflow, not in the software tooling.

Store your KiCad files in Git. Make a script which automatically adds a revision tag to the PCB. Create a CI pipeline for Gerber generation. Export PNGs so you can do visual diffs.

Somewhat similarly, I wrote a web app to generate epub (instead of pdf) out of urls and send to eink reader(s) directly (via a telegram bot) so I can read them. Currently it supports sending epub by email (for kindle) or uploading epub to dropbox (for kobo, etc.). It originally also supports reMarkable cloud but we can no longer make reMarkable cloud actually work. There's also a REST api to generate epub to be downloaded directly: https://github.com/fishy/url2epub/blob/main/REST.md

For e-ink readers epubs are generally better than PDFs for urls anyways, as epubs are basically packed htmls, and also the flow text works better on smaller screens.

> [...] what you will not find on those continents is a dominant cultural practice of explaining the inherent superiority of their own musicking.

Citation needed. Africa and Asia (including India) are fairly big places, and they also have some peoples with very high opinions of themselves and their cultural legacy.

Admitting you're wrong is one of the virtues most disregarded in our industry. It should be praised not scorned. Especially when all of us software engineers are common victims to cool new fancy tech and getting overly excited about it while disregarding IRL usecases or overvaluing our ability to adress "short term" trade offs via upgrading, and then fixing fundamentals far too late for customers to care.

At a penalty rate, sure. The problem is those negative rates invite productive power users. If you immediately balance them with useless crap, you never get the productive stuff.

Or you could just import weasyprint and readability in python!

Which is pretty much what OP did, with a few nice additions like nice output and some custom css and fonts. Which is nice and OP hope brings value to people.

If you add a few printf:s and include a nice template for pandoc* it would be more along the same thing.

That's a personal attack. Talking about failures of planning in mass manufacturing, backlash due to public statements, and casual behavior about publicly traded companies and information related to them, those would be material criticisms that we can discuss civilly.

The claims of racism and inheriting some amount of money from a debunked emerald mine conspiracy aren't helpful on their own.
I remember first reading about Herculaneum Papyri more than a decade ago, and pondered about them being read one day. After all, research into virtually unwrapping these scrolls had been ongoing since 2007 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herculaneum_papyri#Virtual_unr...), but I certainly did not expect it to happen so soon. Exponential technology acceleration once again proves itself true.

Negotiation tactics only work when the other person is dumb and has a big ego. Thankfully most rich people have both.

In a way, you need to also pretend to be dumb and with a big ego. If you're irrational, they'll think they might lose the deal and will offer more.

If you already have an offer in hand, you shouldn't be negotiating through the recruiter. This is a hiring decision not buying a home. CC the recruiter, take their advice, but work with the hiring manager directly.

One of the worst things you can do in negotiation is talk to the wrong person. Instead of going you -> recruiter -> HR rep -> team lead -> hiring manager, you need to go you -> hiring manager. Talk to your recruiter, strategize, whatever, but everything else is playing telephone and it's very easy to get a yes from someone who's not allowed to say yes.
No it’s not the same, a11y creates a dissonance in the mind because part if it wants to see it as “ally”, the other part wants to see it as “A eleven Y” and the other part cringes and thinks its stupid.

If you are concerned with security, you might be interested in GrapheneOS. It has some nice added security features, but only works with Pixel phones.

There are some good things in here, like not closing the door on yourself early, not giving lowball numbers, the overall mindset that you're in a negotiation with a corporation that negotiates salaries all day every day. But what he describes is definitely not an outcome you can expect in this market if you are 3 months post-bootcamp.

There is the flipside also, which is that if you misrepresent your own value and cinch an offer higher than you're worth, you'll be first to go when downsizing comes -- moreso the higher the number.

As an aside, I looked at the post he talks about here ("how I got the job at airbnb") and this guy seems... kinda shiesty?

I wish there were more incentives for people to develop accessible software experiences. Navigating the digital world is really hard for the elderly but it doesn't have to be that way.

Every person is different, but I wonder what is it that you hate so much about negotiation, so much that you’d accept a lower salary even though if you had bills to pay.

Even I don’t like to push hard and use tactics like the ones you see in sales calls, but the last time I had to negotiate salaries, I just said that I was excited for the position and the company, and reminded them it would be difficult to accept what they were offering because it didn’t meet my expectations. Virtually everyone was convinced by said statements and came back with salary increases after that.

As for ChatGPT, there are tell tale markers when someone uses that, and because of its content-free nature of writing, it is very likely to backfire.
Most of these can be provided by any car shop (usually a lot cheaper than the manufacturer) and you don’t need to involve the manufacturer and rest are not things any normal person cares about.

I got a OnePlus 9 for this exact purpose and it was good, but not without issues. Same thing as what people said back in the early Linux days - buy what the developers have. Custom Android OS developers overwhelmingly focus on the Pixel, and the hardware is decent enough, so that's what there's an ecosystem for.

That OnePlus 9 had some weird issues that eventually got resolved but it took a while. Important to differentiate between an OS that builds for a phone and one that actually works for a phone, but there's not usually a ton of reviews for the latter.

In the study of cultural universals, there are four leading anthropologists going back ~100 years afaik, and all four say private property is universal, based on the evidence. Some caveats: Generally speaking, they say it; there's detail there that I don't have time to look into now. Also, defining and classifying the behaviors of all cultures, current and past, and associating them with some modern English words, yields uncertain definitions - as those anthropologists will tell you. Certainly how a 'cultural universal' is expressed can look very different in different cultures.
