Meanwhile in his tweet he explicitly says they're a high risk vector for the elderly. "Family gatherings with close contact between kids & grandparents probably most risky."

He had a poor choice of words, but what he's trying to say makes sense

Criticizing "the coronavirus panic is dumb" also depends on how one reads into it, especially as the article gives no context (like date). Maybe he's saying people shouldn't worry. Or maybe he's saying people shouldn't be fighting in grocery stores. Mass panic is never an optimal play. But if he's referring to preventitive measures being taken by governments as panic, then his tweet at the time can be seen as poor in hindsight. Ofc it'd be nice to know the date when that was said, because the "it's just a flu" crowd greatly diminishes with each passing day, nevermind where public opinion was a month ago
Circular reasoning is hard to manage out of a project. Circular reasoning that has never been articulated is much worse.

Some of the best ergonomic improvements to my own code have come from trying to explain why my code is so stupid and figuring out that there is a fix that’s easier than this apology. When it’s three people there are no apologies even offered, and almost no feedback.
I've posted this here before, so sorry about that, but in this case I think it's just so important that I belive it's justified:

The messaging around masks has been so aggravating to me that I got together with a couple of colleagues to write a detailed, scientific mini-review / commentary:

https://medium.com/@matthiassamwald/promoting-simple-do-it-y...

The benefit of widespread mask usage by the general population is source control [0]. This works even if the person wearing the masks makes mistakes such as touching their face more while wearing the mask.

Also, it should be obvious that there is no downside to wide-spread mask usage by the general population. The countries that have so far the most control over the virus' spread are the ones where wearing masks is normal and often done to protect others when sick.

Importantly, if the goal is source control, then all sorts of makeshift mask designs can work. People in Japan and other countries are already getting really creative [2,3].

Of course, the problem that medical personnel might face even more shortages if everybody starts wearing medical grade masks is real and must be taken seriously. But that's not the only option we have.

That's a little complicated as math is intertwined with science. But at the core I only see them as a difference in subject matter. Math is a philosophical study of space, logical structure, quantity, etc.

Proofs are just tools for articulating arguments about these subjects. Deduction just tends to work better in math, so the methods are more refined and agreed upon.
I think the people working from home are outnumbered by the people who can't work and are quickly going broke.
But you're not a thousand companies who have built their business on Python 2 and have no interest in rewriting working code when they don't have to. Your "scripts" are pretty much irrelevant.
There is actually a term for this phenomenon: bikeshedding.
Are we really short on land, though?

It strikes me that by combining building high-rise blocks with expanding out into the countryside we could manage it.

The planning situation in the UK (which is a particularly dense country) seems utterly despicable to me at present. The game being played is essentially 'haves' bemoaning the loss of small amounts of countryside while 'have nots' are stuck paying dramatic portions of their income to the former group.

Add to that the long arm of the law (buy a field and stick a trailer on it? expect a visit) and it's almost dystopian.

(please read my comments if you're interested more on the UK situation - others have shown me that in the US rural land is actually affordable, if you have savings)
"I have to learn & master yet another framework like Ember and Backbone. And all of the hard work that I've put into learning Angular would have been for nothing."

Would it be awkward to send him that Angular 2.0 changes presentation?

This is the reason we see so many JS job posts. It's not that it's popular, more like nobody wants to deal with that crap. Not only the language is hopelessly broken (which cannot be fixed by ES 6 syntax sugar due to compatibility reasons AFAIK), the frameworks are changing every month. I did not even start giving a f..k about React and now I am supposed to be caring about some Riot 2.0 or whatever?
Nested functions like this?:

proc a =
proc b =
proc c =
proc d = echo "Hello World"
d()
c()
b()
a()

Works fine.
I'm not sure that would stop fake reviews though unless somehow you're validating these badge numbers somehow to make sure they match the name posted, etc...
Cisco is known to support "lawful intercept" protocols in their routers (in fact they were the ones to propose it to IETF a decade ago), so I wonder if they find it ok to not censor your connection because they can already spy on it. This way at least they can check if it's really for "work". Other VPNs who they know aren't used for work, get blocked.
This shouldn't even be that difficult to rig together: Take a small USB key, combine with a wrist strap, and write a script to listen for USB key disconnects. As a bonus, if you want to get fancy, the encryption key itself (or a part of it) could be stored on the USB key.
Color quantizer (http://x128.ho.ua/color-quantizer.html) lets you use up to 12-bit (4096 colors). For command line, the author has TruePNG (http://x128.ho.ua/pngutils.html).
Interesting idea. I think you should push the marketing more towards expensive classical instruments and vintage instrument owners. I think they would be most likely to use it. As a guitarist I could never see myself using this unless I had a vintage guitar rare enough that it spent a lot of time in storage.
It's not just that IR is "more interesting" (maybe it is), but it's much more difficult to see through the atmosphere. It's obviously cheaper and easier to build huge optical telescopes on the ground, but to see into the infrared, you need to get above the atmosphere.

In my experience many of the best camp sites I have been to have been in federal forest land on forest roads. The tougher the road the better (limits traffic). I have found some amazing places in Colorado that you could never reserve and they don’t exist as official camp sites. You find a good spot and you camp. Camp grounds with packed in sites are... good for some things. I acknowledge this is a problem for some high traffic areas, but how natural and interesting is that kind of camping. It’s a shade below glamping. This does make camping accessible and of course there are edge cases, but in general I just find it pretty uninteresting. Anyway, I acknowledge the problem, but it’s also not really a problem for me and many people I know.

Okay, so a few other minor items that are indeed barely worth mentioning.
Author choses to pick on the housing crisis as the reason but that's an issue in most European metro areas.

AFAIK a fat binary is just a binary with all dependencies included. It would still be compiled for a specific platform. The magic part about this is that it's a single file compiled once that can be run on most platforms. And it also adheres to the format of a zip file, so you can add, modify and remove assets as you please inside the actual file, post compilation.
Nothing stops you from having Bitcoin credit cards. In fact they already exist.

Dollar bills don't have any of the advantages you mentioned either. How fast and secure do you think mailing them to some company is?

No. However, my question was specifically about how I can effectively think in a specific situation.
To be honest I don't know how it is now, but I remember my parents always having an accountant because it was just so much easier to deal with this, and they were a teacher and psychologist (not self employed), without any significant additional income.
I don't think this is theft. Nothing was stolen. At most Wikipedia suffered some damage in the form of slightly increased bandwidth costs. Also, theft is involuntary. The Wikipedia server has the power to simply refuse the connection.
In David Graeber's book on money, one detail that I always remember when I read a comment like this is how coinage was created so many times throughout history as a way to support an Army.

King makes money -> gives it to the army -> collects money as a tax from all citizens.

It creates a system where all the people in the kingdom have to contribute to the army in some way.

Now The Fed creates money -> gives it to bankers -> gov't collects taxes in that coin.

So we've created a system where your ability to buy things is a derivative of how much you support banking. It's no wonder why everyone is overleveraged and fragile and needs bailouts all the time.

No, correctly configured, HTTP proxies just forward the connection on, so you can verify the TLS on your end. That's the default you'll get from your browser.

However, you can configure a proxy to intercept and re encrypt things. But the client (your browser) must trust the certificate that's re encrypting, which won't happen unless the proxy's CA cert is installed on your system. This most often occurs in corporate environment, where they control the endpoints.

Of course, if you're not careful, the proxy can do sslstrip and such, tricking users into not using/checking https. But if you're careful and check for HTTPS, you're OK in theory (assuming TLS works, no vulns, etc).
Nope I did'nt that is one way to bypass the problem
> Most people on HN are level minded enough to realize that it is hypocritical to try to block people from immigration to protect their own jobs.

It's not just hypocritical, it's plain wrong, as I explain in the linked article.

> They are paid prevailing wage? Please. I once had a guy who was getting paid $29/hour because two consulting companies were double dipping into $78/hour rate.

So let those people switch jobs easily and they'll start demanding market rates in short order, if they're worth it. If they're not worth it, so what? They're not going to "depress wages" any more than having more farm workers is going to depress programmer wages.
All Intel chips since 2010 or so have the management engine. There's a reason why the "reclaim your freedom" notebook is still a Lenovo X60.

Some of them come with larger firmware (5MB, making up vPro and AMT), others with the smaller one (1.5MB) that merely does the DRM stuff, but all of them have the full hardware access detailled in the article.

AMD is clean on the chipset side until kaveri/kabini. After that, they come with a "platform security processor".
I think the GPU has some DRM features (mostly concerned with adding Macrovision noise to the output signal), but I'm not into GPUs very much.

Contemporary ARM stuff mostly comes with TrustZone, which can typically be used for DRM as well. AMD adopted the TrustZone model for their current CPUs, too.

Since Protected A/V Path and similar DRM systems require OS cooperation, the easiest way to stay clear of them is to use Open Source media players, on an Open Source OS.

If you want to avoid supporting proponents of such hardware assisted DRM systems, plain ARM systems that ship without fixed operating system (eg. the cuBox series, rPI & follow ups) are your best bet.
You're right, and if I'd read more closely I would have been able to come to that conclusion by myself.
I really like the look of the slot. My only concern would be small stuff (e.g. writing utensils) falling into it, but I suppose as long as it wasn't backed up against the wall it wouldn't be an issue.

Isn't it more of a design exercise that shows how removing background layers of a psd affects brand/product impressions? It's a thought experiment, not a marketing pitch - using a very simple idea to show some interesting variations on brand image.

The article cites CouchDB as how this kind of thing can play out differently for open-source software. The first example that came to my mind was Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems, and the subsequent MySQL forks (e.g. MariaDB). Of course, we still have MySQL today, and AFAIK it remains to be seen what will happen to FoundationDB. I doubt Apple will kill it.
Google search engine is free and closed source?

Sure, some of us are disappointed with how our search data is treated, but the disappointment for most generally ends at incognito mode, not that close to 'massive'.

That's quite a big exception.
My own monitor calibrates sRGB to 100 nits (thank god), but a lot of consumer displays (especially smartphones) are so badly color managed that they display sRGB at 600nits and more, with no option to properly change that.

Generally, media and text need very different contrast ratios and colorspaces, and text should never use the full contrast available.

But the big issue is that most content is using entirely unmanaged colors, not even correctly setting them to sRGB (or actually the color profile of whatever shitty 6-bit 100:1 contrast panel from 2004 they managed to find on the dump).

If that was actually used, we wouldn't have any of these issues and everything would be correctly tonemapped. But they don't, they set no profile, which in some software means "whatever the display supports" (although recently enough software enforces "probably sRGB at 1000:1 contrast 100nits max brightness" luckily).
I don't agree with this conclusion. The original could have added ~7 lines of css and made it about 100x more readable, while still making the same point.
How is any woman supposed to specialize in this language without hearing jokes like "oh she's an expert in cock".. The fact that you're trying to assert your point of view over the people who are actually involved in the situation, and chose to use the word harassment, makes me feel like you don't understand these issues as well as you think you do.

> If you are running thousands of servers and your CPU load isn't coming from a JIT'ed language like Java (JITs can emit instructions for the machine they are running on... because they compile just in time), it might very well be worth compiling CPU heavy packages (and their dependencies of course) from source targeting a modern microarchitecture level so you don't leave the benefits of modern ISAs on the table.

Interesting, I wonder how this has affected language benchmarks and/or overall perception between JITed languages and native languages

While I'm not super familiar with the scientific computing field, I can say that Nim needs everyone's help in building the library ecology. Right now, Nim seems to be in the wrap-all-the-things! mode. You can see that most of the available packages are bindings to existing libraries. I'm not sure this is a bad thing. And I don't think it has anything to do with anything other than Nim's currently small community.
I think where the difference between flexible materials like carbon fiber and steel, and stiffer materials like aluminum is most easily observed is on rough road surfaces (like rumble surfaces or even cobbled stone).
Or just distribute your source with the binary, and opt into the no liability regime.
In the UK, if you've had to work at home at all this year, you just tell the tax authorities online by ticking a few boxes on their website and they automatically adjust your PAYE code (what Americans would call withholding) so you pay less tax. It means that you don't have to fill out a tax return just because of simple adjustments like this.
> Playing music to yourself is not a 'public performance'.

cops weren't playing music to themselves though, they were playing it at a protest, audible to all the public participants.

> It's completely unambiguous.

what's your angle here? like yes, this is completely unambiguous, you can't do what the cops are doing, that is public performance of music. why are you digging for a reason to justify what is clearly an illegal action?
Someone did tell him that 30 years ago and he basically said "if that's the rules I'm leaving"
Saying that you understand the difference between a number and a piece of software is incorrect if you are unable to voice or in any way formalize the difference. I don't see the difference: if I store the number 82 in binary as a byte of memory, it is physically identical to storing the letter 'R' encoding as ASCII. If I concatenate thousands of these bytes, I'll have a huge binary number, which isn't illegal, right? What if that number happens to be the ASCII encoding of a novel protected by copyright? Not only is there no theoretical or intuitive difference, there is literally no physical difference at all. The same bytes are stored in memory; the same exact positioning of bits of silicon (or magnetic particles, dark/light spots on a metal disc, etc.) exist.

If we had the technology to make copies on an atomic level, I believe this would indeed pose a fundamental philosophical and legal debate, especially for patented things like manufacturing materials and drugs. With money, however, intellectual property has nothing to do with it, and (at least in the US) counterfeiting is a completely separate orthogonal crime.

I don't think Apple/ Nvidia have ever manufactured their own CPUs before. Apple has certainly been fabless their entire run as CPU makers.

Certainly. But not long ago they were top dog. Ceasing manufacturing their own CPUs would mean they could never be more than a peer among equals. I suppose that's a step up from their current state, but they can kiss their 30% margins goodbye.
