I opened an incognito window and it worked.

My chrome extensions are probably fudging it.
It's mostly taking Smalltalk's ideas, not Lisp's, and it's crashing those ideas from orbit into Perl, of all things.

Ruby doesn't have Lisp-style lambdas, or macros, or conses, it has blocks and messages (it tries to anyway) and classes. That's the Smalltalk recipe book. Ruby uses `select` and `reject`, `collect` and `inject`. Those come from Smalltalk's collections.

Now that I think about it I spend a lot more than $50 at bars going out to watch live sports because I don't have cable.
> Python is a bit more haphazard; the infamous `len(str)`, to wit.

There is nothing infamous about it. It's a multimethod, the designers of Python decided that mandating the same function for everything (via a common protocol under the covers) was better than risking people implementing a thousand different method names. They did the same with the iterator protocol.
I imagine the Falkland Islanders must be rather concerned at this development.
I would have almost immeasurably more respect for them if they did this.

I'm not saying I love the corruption in the US which clearly exists, but giving away only one piece of the puzzle is Opinion Manipulation 101, which I think is the core reason there's rather a lot of us who don't really trust them. I won't even claim the US is nebulously "better" then others, I'll simply claim that I think if you could see everything clearly you wouldn't be able to credibly argue that the US is clearly "worse", and I would certainly bet the "uniquely evil" position a lot of people hold is completely unfounded.
I agree, it's a terrible suffix, completely overplayed, and... let's face it, most of the news-consuming audience is too young to remember Watergate anyway.

I make about what a Hedge fund makes 15-28% a quarter depending on how well the market is doing. I just don't pay hedge fund fee's. It's not wildly innovative I'm just circumventing paying a hedge fund, which often use the exact same methods I used.
Wow, I don't know how to say this other than that I disagree with almost every single thing you said. You're really advocating that he emulate the hubris, overzealous, wannabe cool tone of "put this in your pipe/and smoke it"?

Building a product like this doesn't mean cargo-culting the culture of other successful products in the space. It means building a solid technical foundation, a considerable amount of devops, an incessant focus on ease of deployment, and a few early success stories.
You don't have to get people to buy hot air. What the author has in mind is probably either a) "Assume that this product is fully functional. Will you pay for it $X?" or b) "I am planning to build this product. Would you promise to pay me $X when I deliver this product?"

Or, maybe this will cause users to take Jabber/XMPP more seriously and stop using proprietary technology for corporate IM.

I've worked at places where management is completely gaga over Skype and would push me to support it despite the fact that I had no ability to block spam, troubleshoot messaging problems or integrate our IM system into existing Asterisk, SSO, monitoring and collaboration solutions.

Still, anecdotally speaking, as a Canadian I find the racism in America to be pretty breathtaking. White Americans, whether liberal or conservative, take it as a given that there's always some part of the city dominated by blacks where gunfire is heard at night and the cops are afraid to go. If you probe even a little bit you find that most white Americans, even nominally liberal ones, think blacks have lower capacities than they do. This seems to me, with my Canadian attitudes, like a shocking abandonment of a large part of your citizenry.

Wow, so you just did what Americans are always accused of doing - paint large groups of people with one giant brush.

True racism in America I think has shrunk considerably. The problem is that racism is now commonly used to label any not so nice statistics about any given group of people. Years ago when Bill Cosby pointed out that strong families raised better kids he was called racist. He was just looking at the facts that over 1/2 of the single parent families out there are black[1], and kids from single parent families generally don't do as well as those from a 2 parent family.

When it comes to bad areas in large cities nearly every city has at least one such area, although racial groups may differ. There used to be places in LA where simply wearing a blue or red shirt will get you shot. This is not something made up or in the minds of white people. Even when I lived in a smallish city it had streets or areas that even police avoided. Heck, even my black friends avoided the area.

I also strongly disagree that 'most white Americans' think blacks have lower capacities than they do. That's complete BS. I don't know anyone who thinks that, and I certainly don't think that is true.

Yeah, what's the point of creating a great, mobile focused alternative (or enhancement, however you'd like to describe it) to SSH if no one will implement it on iOS because it's GPLv3?
Ads generate money through sales. Advertisers can lobby lawmakers to not make much restrictions on ads. Who you think can out lobby them? You and me? I think we have better things to spend our money than that. Adblock gives (almost) free and painless solution. I don't see how you think there's a better, easier and cheaper way of dealing with it.
Currently styling is outside Riot's responsibility. Shadow elements are not supported enough on browsers and require too much polyfilling.

Also not sure about component- based styling in general. I think that CSS should be controlled separately <-- highly personal opinnion.
They don't even get into the repercussions of loading externally-hosted JavaScript into a secure page.

We avoid this entirely (also hosting medical data), though it's been a bit of extra work to do so.

I'm sure Chartbeat, Mathtag, Mixpanel, Google, etc. are reasonably careful about their security, and of course they would suffer as well if one of the servers/scripts was compromised and the breach was made public.

But in short -- healthcare.org's security relies on the idea that none of these many 3rd parties will ever have a CDN server compromised, for example. Or (in other situations) have the NSA demand access.

It just takes one -- and then an "improved" script could be delivered to only clients visiting a single targeted site, or even specific targeted clients. The normal customer just sees the lock icon and can verify that there's a secure connection to the main host; but there are actually many other connections going on to other hosts, and any of them may provide a script that can access any sensitive data on the page.
The expected value of a startup, even pre-Series A, is not 0.
Historically, debt neither increases forever nor collapses catastrophically. Individual sectors collapse, and new ones develop. In the early modern period, governments would simply refuse to repay their debts. Nowadays we have things like stock market crashes and mortgage crises.

I've stuck with QuickSilver throughout, just because it's what I am used to and most comfortable using. Compared to the other apps that I have tried (Alfred, Spotlight), QuickSilver seems to get the most done with the least amount of effort -- it's simple to learn, harder to master, yet still extremely intuitive.

Emphasize the positive.

If a child gets three out of four questions wrong, I will mark the question that is correct first and praise
them for getting the correct answer. Then I will say, “I think you didn’t understand something with
these other questions” or “You may have been going too fast,” and then I will point out their mistake
– or ask them to find it themselves! I’ve found that if I start by mentioning the mistakes, a weaker
student will sometimes simply give up or stop listening.
Isn't this already normal?
Thanks, appreciate the kind words! Sounds like your take on this workflow has a couple of cool features, especially the year-based archives and the weekly "done" list with email.

I considered archiving at the year level, but realized that the month level of granularity is likely what I actually want because a yearly file would be quite large. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts - have you found the yearly archive file to be cumbersome?

I also love the idea of the weekly done list. My take for textnote is rather than build that functionality into the CLI, I prefer to augment it with scripts that take advantage of common commandline tooling and the plain text files. I might give your "email done list to my boss at the end of the week" workflow a try as a script on textnote files. I'll let you know how it works out.

Good stuff, really appreciate your comments!
"I don't regret anything I said then because in the context of the time in which I said it, it was correct. We were told in our task force meetings that we have a serious problem with the lack of PPEs," he said.

https://www.businessinsider.com/fauci-doesnt-regret-advising...

It makes no sense since cloth masks don't cause PPE shortage.

> IIRC, the consensus pre-COVID and post-SARS, was that cloth masks are inferior to N95 masks. When the supply of N95 masks was not considered unreliable, there was no need for public health to think about bandanas.

It's inferior but still better than nothing.

So, you agree that cloth masks are better than nothing.

> In Feb/Mar, before asymptomatic transmission was proven, it was reasonable to not bother suggesting cloth masks,

They should have be cautious first. Like come on, it's beginner's level of crisis management.

They even implied against it (because you would touch your face and etc.)

A tweet from US surgeon general: https://www.jacksonville.com/story/news/healthcare/2020/03/0...

"They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!"

Why would you say masks are NOT effective? With emphasis on NOT.

Fauci never refuted this tweet at the time, so what were we supposed to think?

> I see Fauci as the firefighter who arrives at the scene, hooks up the hoses, and discovers that the hydrants are dry and the city hadn't bothered to tell anyone.

It's more like he showed up and said water didn't help put out fire. Let's not use water.

He also didn't regret it because, well, we were in the water shortage period.

> He has definitely made some mistakes

A mistake that caused many lives.

He made a bad judgement call. Bad at communication with public. No idea how to manage crisis.

Just say "hey, it looks like a flu. We should be cautious and cover our face with something. Please don't buy n95 because doctors need it".

At the time, I covered my face in public and kept saying masks worked, and I felt like an anti-vaxx for going against "science". What a shit show.
The thing is pretty easy to verify.

The ultimate question is: How far do you need to go until you believe that the earth is indeed not flat? Do you trust your teachers? Stand on a tall building? Take a balloon ride? A plane? A spaceship? Then still, at which point can you rule out that the earth just appears to be a ball due to some yet-to-be-explained phenomenon (gravitational anomaly?) but is indeed flat? (The correct answer of course is "turtles all the way down").
I'm not really sure how to respond to that. You don't read books or watch Youtube?
I'm confused, isn't the price of co2 very low? I would guess the oil and gas industry have a lot of co2 to spare.

Have you tested this process and mixture?
wonderful response from all of you to a very annoying comment from Naga. "Your offense offends me" is exactly how I feel.

Good. For better or worse, things that are placed on the internet, stay on the internet. It is not 1990s. We should all know this by now.
This is a failure of the journalist to understand the distinction between "public/private key cryptography" and "public/private key cryptography as used in the SSL/TLS certificate authority scheme". I'm pretty sure that they guy (s)he was interviewing knew the difference.

Of course, configuring your system to trust any valid certificate is just stupid.
right on. our artificial reality education system has so many mistaken premises. but fortunately, they are given forever to get it right.

The real problem, of course, is its coercive nature. This way of doing things would never have achieved such a total monopoly without coercing students to participate and taxpayers to fund it. Not to mention that you're turning your children's minds over to the unions for indoctrination.

Murray Rothbard picks apart the whole system in chapter 7 of For a New Liberty. mises.org has a podcast of the entire book.
what's the machine learning project? (if you can't give specific details for privacy reasons, i would still be very interested to hear how ml is practically used in commercial production!)
That's why I am building YC Universe ( http://ycuniverse.com/ ).

The idea is to figure out many of the useful details of the YCombinator "black box". The plan is also to use YCombinator start-ups to get information to debug the start-up experience.
If I recall correctly from high school, we used to call 1/cos "secant", or sec(A).
It doesn't.

[EDIT: There isn't much more to say. The claim that (esp. natural) evolutionary processes strive for streamlined and optimal solutions is simply false, for various (even a priori) reasons.]
I didn't downvote you, but I don't come to HN to give tech support either. Change your password to a stronger one, don't use it on other sites, don't type it on suspect computers, etc; you should know this.

Sorry for the harsh words.
That was back when it was considered good coding practice to code on line 10, 20, 30 etc, so that you wouldn't have to rename all line numbers in case of extra unexpected code lines.
IMHO 'Eventual consistency' and related 'consistencies' are not really giving a consistent state, as they're more about a promise that the system will reach a consistent state 'eventually', but when that happens is unknown: in a volatile database, the system could never reach a consistent state, due to the lack of linearizability. See: http://hackingdistributed.com/2013/03/23/consistency-alphabe...
Very nice except for the animations.

If they get it after you hire them, you (really your insurance company(ies) ) could be on the hook for liability. Even if your insurance covers the claim, your rates could go through the roof going forward.
I am sorry but sadly I do not have experience in this stack so cannot really recommend any project
I apologize. It was a bit of a knee-jerk reaction to the parent comment, and I tend to get offended by statements that imply all white people are privileged racists. Maybe that's not how it was meant to be understood.
I just went "Holy shit" when I read this article and realized what a lazy dumba*s I am.
That reminds me, earlier this month I saw a great PBS Nova episode about Neil Armstrong's life: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/space/first-man-on-moon.html It talked a bit about the X-15 and some crazy situations Neil got into flying them, like skipping off the top of the atmosphere at supersonic speeds.

I am not ready to change my assessment of him. There were ample situations in in "peace time" for him to push harder but he didn't. DeBlasio may be more inept, but Cuomo only pushes things hard after they become very popular. That's still not leadership.
An open source alternative might be Jitsi Meet https://jitsi.org/jitsi-meet/. I haven't tried it though.
In practice it's much easier to move the patient to the ventilator than vice versa, and that's exactly what happens, at least in my country
I think generally the case numbers reflect more how much testing is being made in the country than how many people are infected. I think I got infected, called a relative of mine who is a doctor and followed UK guidelines which is to self isolate. So I appear in no statistics whatsoever. As the vast majority of people with none or mild symptoms. I think you can pretty much ditch the official case numbers as meaningless.
California especially has a lot of really great people in disaster management, from CalOES on down to the various county-level agencies that they coordinate with. That's not to say that things don't sometimes go upside-down; the destruction of the town of Paradise was an event that nobody had trained or planned for and there were a lot of relatively little things that got mishandled in the process, which slowed down some of the bigger things.

But then it was all used as a case study over the next year and became a training drill with new operations manuals for all the agencies involved.

So yeah, I get what you mean. New York seems to be taking the right steps here in the absence of a functioning federal government. I hope we don't get to see California in action, but if we do, I expect it will be a very fast, competent response.
Wow. Didn't know that either.

Just, yeah.

To not only do all the stuff that our politicians, of every political stripe, are doing, but then to screw over the poor at a time like this as well?

I think I'm done here for the day. I'm pretty sure I don't want to know anything more about what the politicians are doing.
Taxis are repurposed for hospital visits! How dangerous for taxi drivers.
An ounce of competence and he would have been re-elected due to the rally effect of an ongoing disaster.
There was also a large group of more centrist liberals that were more focused on stuff like trade unions and public sector unions. Hitler realized he could work with this group as long as he agreed to meet their short-term political goals.
You can lead a horse to knowledge, but you can't make him think.
The Telegram backend is still closed-source as far as I know. The problem with their crypto is that nobody really knows if it's secure or not because it's closed and unverified.

Ever heard the first rule of encryption? "Never roll your own crypto". Well they broke the rule and they won't let anyone check if the crypto is secure or not.

Not to mention encryption is off by default and your plaintext messages are stored on their servers...
Personally, I don't really care how anyone dresses. (Oh, up to a point. One of the jobs I had evolved to, "No tube tops, bicycle shorts, or French maid outfits". The last two involved one senior hardware support guy.)

But the other things? Oh, yeah. I've worked with (or attempted to) people like that, and I won't do it again. The first time a technical difference of opinion turns into a suicide threat, I'll just clean out my desk on my way out.

We are probably living in two different worlds. There is reality and there is the world you live in.

In real world it is not the restrictions that save lives, it is people following them. If people ignore restrictions it doesn't matter whether they were or were not tightened.

Actually, if people were sane we would not need restrictions. Everybody would wash their hands, avoid touching their face, wear their mask properly (ie. not faking wearing the mask) and avoid physical contact with other people unless necessary. And all research suggests that would be enough to deal with the virus.

The fact is that Christmas in almost every country resulted in mass movement of people that just have to go and meet their families. And it doesn't matter for what reason it happened, it is just a fact.

So, regardless of whether there were or were not tightened restrictions, there is going to be an inevitable increase in cases.
My guess is it had to do with limitations tied to the x86_64 instruction set. It doesn't matter how much modifications you do, if you don't start with a good foundation, you're going to be limited to that foundation.
Both. Organized religion has always been an instrument of control and fostered inequality, but it also glued societies together and provided an incentive structure that promoted selfless behavior.
There was an attack on congress on Tuesday. Multiple accounts are talking up similar violence on Parler as we speak. People are calling it out all over the internet.

I mean... what do you want to happen here? The right wing got carte blanche to spread violent rhetoric for years on these platforms in ways that we would have called "terroristic" and "radicalizing" in other contexts. And it went too far. So... do we just ignore it?

I just can't understand how your mind goes to a routine election result and not a failed coup attempt as the reason behind this.
You’re right. Everyone is definitely capable of thinking for themselves. No one would ever, say, violently storm the nation’s capitol because they believed propaganda about election fraud.
He incited an insurrection and he still seems to be egging those people on. But people who support the guy would defend him no matter what.
The free market approach requires antitrust. It's disingenuous to defer to free market rules when we have big government and big tech so deeply entrenched and largely unchecked.
