Google Cloud has an amazing interface, and their new developer experience is really nice. I normally don't have a lot of positive things to say about Google but they definitely did a good job there.

thats good. Rules are rules, especially in these times.
I would be ok with this variation: lower physical check frequency, bigger fines.
I'm working on a remote working website; Remote Jobs Center https://remotejobs.center

As the virus spreads, remote working gaining its well-deserved attention. From remote jobs listings to digital collaboration tools, profiles and admin panels both for candidates and employers, creating them a space for communication, following, shortlisting and starting a healthy hiring process.
Stop spreading misinformation.

Hydroxycholoquine is very safe and is prescribed to lupus patients daily. The Korean recommended dose (400mg/day) is the same as what is prescribed to lupus patients. Chloroquine is a bit more dangerous, but only in high doses and over long periods of time. Patients would be on either for 10-20 days maximum which is much less than what it takes to be dangerous.

Both are less toxic than Tylenol.
That's scary, thanks!
All non-essential shops are closed and it's not allowed to go out anymore, at the risk of getting fines from the police.

Worst thing is. I have to move flat in two weeks. Don't know if will be able to move? or even get the keys? or get the inventory done?

Out of all the government measures, in any country. There is nothing about extending letting contracts or freezing rents.
I feel like this thread and the arguments contained in it are a microcosm of what's going on in the world at large right now, and also explains why people were so slow to respond. Perfect is the enemy of good, after all.
Verified by Visa is a horrible horrible implementation, I spent an hour in the bank last month trying to sort out why my company card wouldn't let us buy train tickets ) VbV had my date of birth wrong for some reason) oh yeah if yuo have any problems with VbV you have to call an 0845 number, which although only 5p a minute on my plan... it soon adds up
OCaml is still quite academic, Caml-light (Caml without object and with some difference) is used to teach CS in some Math undergrad and it is use by academic researcher who don't want to go back to C. That's said there is not so much Engineering/Commercial use of it. (Some blame INRIA for not pushing it, supporting it enough, especially the lack of extended library and threading trouble).
Google needs to learn to add "OFF"-buttons for every big change they make. At least until the change has been widely accepted as an improvement.

How the instant preview popups made it through any kind of A/B test is completely beyond me. Does anyone not hate them with passion?
Since when has the IQ anything to do with intelligence?
> ecosystem that doesn't rely on C libraries

If something is compiled to native code, what's the point of writing a library that's not just a binding? In python it makes sense, because you get the pure-python installation of your app - it doesn't depend on the OS, python versions, etc.

But once you're going to compile your app for a target platform... what's the point of not relying on C libraries?
It's not clear to me that the contracting model for drivers is illegal. Drivers choose their own hours, own their own cars, and don't have to be exclusive to either Uber or Lyft--many drivers drive for both more or less simultaneously. That's the most clear cut example of a valid, legal contractor model I've seen.
If there were forces artificially propping up YouTube beyond quality of product, I would be concerned.

Right now, YouTube is already in music business. They are just shifting model.
If Facebook can't even attempt to stand by the listings on their marketplace, they might as well just shut it down. It will be flooded with fake stuff & scams.

Enforcement doesn't need to be perfect, but they need to at least try some enforcement or it becomes a place where no one can trust anyone or anything.
Could dmr have used a Model 37 teletype [1] to print his thesis?

It had two key features [2]: half-line vertical spacing control and a 128-character typebox that included mathematical symbols [3].

I reckon that a Model 37 could handle nearly all of the formatting seen in dmr's thesis automatically. If he didn't use a Model 37, he must surely have used a similar machine which also provided half-line vertical spacing control.

> This, together with the evidence of the new re-fusion processes observed by intravital imaging, convinced us that we had discovered a new cell type, which we called osteomorphs, after the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

This goes with the gene named after Sonic the Hedgehog I guess. Supposedly this kind of name makes it difficult for doctors when they have to tell people they have cancer caused by a sonic hedgehog mutation.
I've worked for a news outlet(pretty much smack dab in the newsroom) and I have friends and family who have either worked for other news outlets or are journalists; while I agree that they are generally well-intentioned, their motivations aren't as simple as telling an accurate story.

There's a growing number of young journalists who believe that objectivity is wrong and, because of that, choose to be overtly biased in what they report. In the broader sense, it's extremely common for news outlets to pass over stories that don't fit the narrative of their political affiliation. Even otherwise good journalists may pass on a story if they know it will result in them being seen unfavorably by leadership.

Even leadership at these companies may steer the newsroom in certain directions if they seem favorable to their parent media company, whether they agree with it or not, because they know they have a chance of getting axed if their publication or broadcast says the wrong thing.

> The idea that these news organizations are monolithic structures where hive minded journalists are endlessly seeking to push their master’s message is on its face ludicrous, as are all conspiracy theories.

Have you had any actual experience inside a newsroom? In my experience, there's tons of groupthink that happens among journalists. There's nothing that makes journalists any different from average people, whom have a tendency to form cohorts with likeminded people. At one news outlet I worked for, a certain person in leadership(whose name and title I will leave nameless) mentioned in a meeting that there happen to be some journalists at the company who lean conservative; people in the meeting couldn't believe it and nearly flipped out, like it's a bad thing that someone is conservative, or that it's a given that all journalists identify as liberal. Lots of thought and communication among journalists occurs over Twitter, which helped facilitate an echo chamber rather than diffuse it.

I simply don't agree that notions that there are hive minded groups of journalists are "all conspiracy theories". I'm sure there are some good groups of journalists out there but, from where I'm standing, they seem few and far between. There's nothing farfetched about a company having its own culture and unique hiring practices; it's human nature that happens all the time in and outside the media. It doesn't necessarily have to be driven by overt plans to manipulate anyone. Rather, what a news organization publishes is often influenced by whatever the incentive structure is. For journalism, the incentive structure that governs it promotes low-grade reports on news that hasn't been fully fleshed out combined with some carefully disguised opinion material intended to keep people reading. Currently there's little to no enforcement of efficiently informing readers since the desire for profit and prestige has overtaken the desire for integrity.

None of this is new, though. It's just been accelerated recently. Look up the history of "yellow journalism". American journalism has a long history of publishing tripe to sway the public at the behest of media titans.
> inferior to IC by almost every metric that matters.

??? Maybe you've missed the memo?

Acceleration? EVs win.

Cabin Noise? EVs win.

ICE vehicles win in exactly 1 scenario: Being able to fuel up quickly on road trips greater than 300 miles.

Hmm... actually, come to think of it, what HN does is prevent editing a comment more than a few seconds after it's made. So... I suppose the theory is that I'm conspiring with the mods or something?

Games will force you to become a better software designer, provided that you want to produce readable code, since by their nature games want to rub every kind of data you have against every other kind.
because we still pay for it by higher insurance premiums or higher taxes. it's not just their life, it has an effect on all of us.

If you want to end mandatory emergency room care, that's one thing, but i really doubt most of the countr(y|ies) citizens feels that way. So we're still gonna pay.
Yes, definitely. The problem I'm running into is that the people writing the module systems are thinking in terms of running it standalone.

I want a way to get a bunch of Lua libraries and cram them into one thing I can easily embed and make available to my embedded Lua interpreter. I can't really visualize how that would work though, so I can't write it yet.
That's reasonable; but, they probably aren't going to know the length of the password either, so they might go through a great many other tests before they reach A16. Of course, the person trying to discern a person's password may follow a DFS approach before a BFS approach, and that password would be quickly compromised, but I don't see that happening.

Note: In the real world, I wouldn't encourage anyone to have that as a password. This is more of an academic curiosity.

There was no Nazi economic miracle

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

As far as that, I don't see how hiring foreign advisors somehow make your own economic achievements worthless

Because there were no "own economic achievements" in this case. The USSR claimed to pioneer a new and superior economic system to the capitalist West, but their greatest period of growth and improvement was accomplished through Western direction.
This is what they are working on: https://github.blog/changelog/

It seems to me that its a PM centric process i.e. lots of end-user features rather than fixing the behind the scenes parts that are poorly designed and/or broken.

We tried to workaround the inadequate token support by using their Terraform module for automation. Only for it to delete our repos losing years of issues because of a bug where renaming = deleting (3 year old issue that has never been prioritised).

I have lots of friends who've taken Ritalin and Adderall. I've noticed a much higher rate of alcohol dependency among them, I suspect as we age they'll also have a higher rate of heart issues. Many tell me they quickly increase their dose and drink to be able to sleep.

To me it seems like medicalizing social issues is a deal with the devil. There's always another issue and another drug to treat that issue.
Monitoring the state of crops or cattle could be done by ground vehicles, but far less efficiently.
While the article sounds really crazy, I can really see something like this happening, even though possibly over a longer time frame.

For one, the time where ICANN can't hand out any more address blocks isn't the same time as when providers will be unable to hand out addresses. Many providers keep large unused pools and will just continue to sell addresses from those.

Once these get scarce, public IP's for dialup customers are the first thing to go. Then follow public IP's for smaller server customers (you can in theory do reverse nat based on the Host:-header. Of course this really breaks SSL, but we don't need that anyways - see firesheep).

Whatever happens, we won't see IPv6 adaptation.

Scarcity of IP addresses is extremely beneficial to the current players who already have their addresses as it

a) puts an end to unloved services as P2P, VoIP and some kinds of streaming or at least makes it incredibly hard (once you put your customers behind NATs)

and

b) gets rid of competition (by not handing them out IP addresses)

The glorious time where everybody with a bit of time and skill could design and implement a working product are going to be over as you'll just not get the address you need while the existing big services have stockpiled their addresses.

They will become the gatekeepers. If they like your service, they buy you and provide the needed addresses.

If not, you are screwed.

Or you get one of those IPv6 addresses which will be unreachable for a majority of internet users because it's totally not in the interest of ISPs to provide V6 connectivity.

I'm telling you. This isn't going to end well. It'll take longer than what's predicted, but it'll end up badly.

Please - give me arguments why I'm wrong and why we'll have large scale IPv6 deployments in the near future.
I'm not sure how FOAF and SSL could be used in themselves? FOAF is fine for storing social contact information, for sure, and SSL is a handy security layer. But while they could be used in an access control mechanism, they don't constitute one.

(Is FOAF actually still used anywhere?)
Well, those were claims that Linux copied from original UNIX code. Since that was rejected and new code added to Linux is most definitely not from a 30-year-old codebase, I would imagine Linux is safe.

I always had a soft spot for Clinton. His worst crime was getting a consentual blow job from a woman in her 20s. I never got why that mattered given the shit the others were up to...

Trumps "trade war" was a storm in a tea cup at best. It was great cover for business as usual imho. I hope whoever takes it on actually fights it. He's sort of wrecked future efforts by alienating almost every other nation Ns doing nothing imho, so I understand by Biden doesn't want to "continue" it.

We'll see I guess.
You can also assign some blame to the database startup that chose not to prioritize its customers in the acquisition. It'd be nice if this pushed more startups to make a legally binding declaration of how customers would be affected by an acquisition, or it pushed more customers to demand it (instead of just giving up on startups). But I'm guessing no one wants to have their hands tied like that, especially when acquisition is a more likely outcome.
As I understand it, there are some things called natural and legal rights. Rights such as 'Right to life', 'Right to liberty' etc are natural. While 'Right to Privacy', 'Right to Freedom or Religion' etc are legal. One set is inalienable and the other the society can decide for themselves to forfeit. This arrangement is there so as to appeal to cultures and societies with different inclinations.

Sure you can. Ham operators bounce a wave off the moon. Time the round trip. Speed of light. Or send a blip thru a spool of fibre optic cable, measure the transit time. It CAN be directly measured.
True, 2 years seems like an acceptable price in that case. I don't have the citizenship issue, so I am not losing anything besides money. Since citizenship (presumably) can't be bought by money, the stakes for leaving the job seem to be a lot higher for the OP.

When it first came out it could've. RIM didn't think they had a second-rate user experience, don't people remember all the talk about physical keyboards?

As far as I can tell, the first touchscreen Android phone came out in late 2009 (HTC Magic, according to this: http://www.tomsguide.com/us/google-android-htc-touch,news-34...) That's a full two years after the release of the iPhone. It took time for Google to start competing on the iPhone's turf, and that's why the relationship changed.
Yes, unified memory being the key here. FAFAIK GPUs still use a hub-and-spoke model, where all processing is done in the hub but data is stored on the rim. They achieve their speedup by increasing the number of spokes (data channels). You could do better by moving the data processing to the spokes as well, and using the hub only for orchestration and synchronization.

At least, it's computationally better. But it won't allow scaling the processing power and memory size independently, so it might require a different commercial model.
Normally, keyboards report data to the computer which represents the location of a key on a standard keyboard. The OS translates to characters based on configured layout. The actual letters printed on the key caps are just decorative.

If you type WASD on a US layout USB keyboard, the computer will receive key codes 26, 4, 22, 7.

If you type ZQSD on a French keyboard you get exactly the same result.

So if you are writing a game, you might listen for codes 26, 4, 22, 7 and these will be in the sample place on the keyboard regardless of layout. You can ask the OS to translate these codes to letters for help text.

(Some of the details here are omitted—the codes above are USB HID codes, but those go through an additional OS-specific translation table before they are sent to your program.)
This isn't showing anything to me from what I can see. Just a blank black map when I zoom in enough. At slightly lower zoom levels I can see outlines of cities and towns.

Is the idea that those are places where bikes are stolen? If so, isn't this just going to highlight towns and cities because that's lots of bikes are (particularly somewhere like Cambridge where there are loads of bikes), and wouldn't it be better to do per-capita bike thefts? Otherwise this is just a map of where bikes are, rather than where it's more or less dangerous to leave your bike unattended.

Edit: Actually, thefts per bike per capita. Just per capita doesn't take out the fact that there are some places with loads more bikes, like Cambridge. That's presuming the idea is to show where it's most likely that your bike will get stolen.
Why not just pronounce it differently in English? Maybe "co-que".

Java is already pronounced "djava" in English, and "yava"/"iava" in several other European languages.

Perhaps it’s more like a sexual orientation than a fetish?

So it would not be something that a person is just interested in and grows with time, but a primal thing that just gets activated at a certain age for him (just like attraction to a different/same gender for most of us)

Thanks. This isn't the first time I've made a thoughtful reply to a "science isn't important" comment. The last time, my comment didn't get as many upvotes as its parent, so I'm not too surprised that my comment wasn't received well this time, either.

To you, "it's unproven" is not a valid reason for rejecting this book. But it is a valid reason for many other people, especially since it takes a great deal of commitment to use this (unproven) tool.

Full disclosure, I just bought the book :) Would still really like to see it proven effective by science, but am not putting the burden of proof on anyone in particular (original author is dead) nor holding my breath.

I can kinda see their point for HTML and CSS. At least I could understand how someone would feel that way. For code though, this is a terrible idea. The point of indentation isn't just to show where a block begins and ends. It's to show depth and overall structure. Without indentation, seeing which "if" an "else" or "else if" goes with is a serious pain.
There's plenty of pretty relevant work that can be done that has to do with OS internals and a good expert knowledge of them. Often times it does intersect with networking and optimizations, etc. but most people who deal with Distributed Systems greatly benefit from it.
A lot of style guides are behind firewalls these days. I'm not sure all the reasons but it's probably some combination of concerns about revealing somewhat sensitive info and saying things in ways that some might find controversial.
