If you make a lot of money, almost certainly the best thing you can do is earning to give¹. Your impact would be far greater again if you were to donate towards any cause other than one which mostly victimises wealthy people.² Instead of cancer victims, you could help poverty victims or animals in factory farms.

I think we all underestimate how far apart just solar systems are. In the common projections we take a travel speed of 1-10% speed of light for granted which is insanely hard to achieve with any significant mass. If we indeed make it out of our solar system (and not just once), mankind will eventually spread all over the Milky Way.

Anyway, to come back to your point: Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nearest_galaxies we would start with satellite galaxies, the closest one is 25.000 light years away. Unthinkable for now.

It's not a single "they". Yes, Wuhan/Hubei provincial authorities did the usual Chinese thing of covering up bad news so the Eye of Sauron over in Beijing wouldn't hear about it, and there's a great/depressing read about why over at [1] (TL;DR: big Communist Party summit). But once Xi/Sauron did catch on, their response -- total lockdown, building new hospitals, etc -- was both draconian and massive on a scale unimaginable in most democracies. Compare with (say) the shambolic response to Hurricane Katrina, where pretty much the opposite happened: pleas by local authorities were basically ignored by the central gov't until their hand was forced.

[1] http://chinamediaproject.org/2020/01/27/dramatic-actions/
The amount of up- and downvoting on anything China related feels insane. I wish someone at Hackernews will write a blog post about this some day (accounts, IP addresses, and whatever other data they have). From a casual reader perspective, I feel I have not seen this pattern on other controversial topics that sometimes show up here, e. g. gun control.
Per GDPR it is not, you can't be banned from something if you does not give you consent. But nobody cares, if you have smart lawyers they can argue that those consents are essential for a given page to work and everything is compliant... The same with being opted out from consents by default. Nobody cares too - to opt out you typically need to click through maze of screens searching for small print links that let you say no. That's also against GDPR, BTW.

For now GDPR seems like one more toothless EU regulation. Maybe they manage to catch some big US company and make them pay a few millions just to make a big show and justify the existence of GDPR. Maybe they will catch some poor guy maintaining forum for some hobby group and does not provide "right to be forgotten" functionality (that's why effectively all independent forums are going away in favor of Facebook - good job, EU). But I doubt GDPR will manage to give people more privacy.

I hope that people themselves will figure out what's going on and start fighting back (by using browser plugins, stubbornly reporting misbehaving sites, trying to engage authorities to enforce GDPR, etc.). If yes, maybe GDPR will turn out to be something valuable, for now, it is not.

Mistakes can happen but wittingly suppressing news is not accidental nor a mistake.

I was born in Wuhan and half of my family are currently holed up there. A few days before the Wuhan lockdown was ordered, coronavirus already made it to the headline in CNN and NYT, but there was not any headline news about the coronavirus within China. Heck my dad wasn't even wearing a mask on his 1hr metro commute to work until the day before lockdown happened.

In early January, government officials and news outlets were reporting: "There are false rumors about Wuhan having a SARS like virus. This is an unknown virus that's _probably not_ transmittable from human to human. There are only 45 confirmed cases. There is no need to panic. "

One of the officials even organized a thousand people CNY dinner as part of the CNY celebration a few days before the lockdown.

They had a thousand opportunities to curb the disease and alert the people, but the Chinese bureaucracy and leadership's imcompetence directly caused the coronavirus disaster.

Edit: January 21 news article on the thousand people dinner from a Chinese source. About 40k people participated, this neighbourhood is about 10 minutes away from the epicenter: https://news.163.com/20/0121/15/F3E3UTKI0001899N.html

If you use vector tiles, you can use any of the major providers:

- Mapbox (https://mapbox.com)

- MapTiler (https://maptiler.com)

- Stadia Maps (https://stadiamaps.com)

- https://switch2osm.github.io/providers/

…then you style / display only the road data and exclude the rest of the data and overlay that on your tiles.

What is the methodology behind these results? If it is what I read in the introduction, judging Kotlin to be more widely used than Scala based on a poll is deceiving and IMO loses any weight this report might carry.

>is there really any compelling reason not to choose Kotlin over Java?

Kotlin is being developed primarily by developers based in Russia. Putin relies on geopolitical conflict for consent manufacturing within the country. One of his future antics could turn into a real crisis, where Russia ends up sanctioned and isolated as a result, after a series of tit-for-tat moves, with the corresponding disruption to normal business processes.

Being a Russian product it also carries a risk of one day receiving an update with a payload from Russian secret services, if they find your firm sufficiently interesting. But it's a general consideration with software/hardware from "adversary" countries like China or Russia. The story with Huawei is the same.

Nobody ever did a full A/B study on that, it would require damaging many babies for rest of their lives. We're over Mengele's approach for quite some time and time machine isn't a thing yet.

But there are tons of stories that babies neglected/suffering perform much worse for rest of their lives. Deep mental issues, lower IQ etc. Some proof might be stories I read from some specifically cruel communist Romania orphanage, where children were neglected, often caged or chained. Something like 90% of them struggled significantly in the society in their later lives.

Lot's of ways - just look at the job pages of Cancer institutes/hospitals, Universities and research institutes or biotech/pharma companies.

There is a huge amount of scientific and clinical data to make sense of - a lot of it in the public domain.

Understanding the mutations at the molecular level is only a start - if you want to treat then you will likely need to understand how that mutation manifests into biology - what processes are affected and there you get into the very complex networks that is biology.

But if you don't have a science background, it doesn't matter as most of the actual work is data management, processing and wrangling, before you can get to the insight bit.

A lot of the data is being generated a huge scale as well - so making some of the existing analysis fast is also needed.

A lot of the scientific software in the bioinformatics area can be found on github - so there it's as accessible to collaboration as any other github project.

It's being maintained. A new version (3 iirc) is about to come out. But it's not a hot bed of innovation.

I think Kotlin now already has a lot more mindshare and corporate interest behind it than Groovy ever did.

>> is age discrimination in tech a thing there? <<

Not in my experience, as an older-than-average dev here in Finland. This country where I have landed values fairness and egalitarianism quite highly. If anything, age and experience is respected more highly. It may help that I have a solid conviction that age/sex/race/etc discrimination is abject bullshit, and any company that does it fails in both tech and life. This lets me be bold when pitching or interviewing!

>> I'm currently in NYC and my salary, despite crazy costs, lets me save money. Also I can buy property in any borough on my own saved money. Is that possible with a single engineer's salary where you immigrated to? <<

Definitely. It's even possible on a factory-worker's salary, or even a supermarket cashier's salary. The social stability and calm that enforces is priceless and hard to overstate. I am happy to pay higher taxes on a lower salary to do my part to maintain this society.

In NYC, despite my also earning quite a high salary, I had many friends who were struggling, and I always had the gnawing concern in the back of my mind that my savings could somehow be wiped out from some kind of shenanigans: a weird medical bill that my insurance would refuse to cover, or being sued out of existence by a wealthy person with an ax to grind, or getting hacked because my bank's cyber-security was nonsense.

Here, even if the worst possible thing happens and your account is zeroed out, you and your family will not be out on the street or couch-surfing. In fact, you will have help and your dignity will be respected.

I would disagree with you: the headings are the actionable advice. To paraphrase:

- Eliminate distractions
- Facilitate yourself getting in the flow
- Optimize your schedule around your productivity peak
- Record your screen to do a retrospect and see where you waste time
- Daily and weekly retrospect
- Don't implement too much at the same time

Show HN: Web app to turn ebooks into high-quality audiobooks (beta)
I talked to some higher ups.
High framerates DO look like soap operas. It makes it feel like you're watching a play, rather than a movie, and is extremely distracting.

When I go to to people's houses, and they have a newish TV, it will invariably have frame interpolation of some kind on which effectively gives everything an approximated high frame rate. I immediately turn it off for them, and it is always met with either "oh, ya that was really bothering me" or "I can't tell the difference." I've never had someone want it turned back.
I'm personally happy with rsync.net for offsite backup storage of my personal stuff, they're active on HN and decently priced imho. My use case consists of random rsync/sftp selective backups and bare git repositories. Not sure how great the experience is with large media assets but if it's in the price range you're willing to put up, they seem quite dedicated to the backup use case and support is supposedly good if you ever run into problems. I've never had to contact them though, it was pretty much setup and forget.
The source code to ed(1) is substantially harder to memorize, and the mobile experience is sub-par. ed(1) may seem to have strong user metrics, but they’re artificially inflated by users who don’t know how to close it and thus have kept the same session open since the early 1970s, making it difficult to inform them of other options.
"Your" is an unfortunate trope of internet titles. I think there's some hard-wiring that makes us respond to loud uses of "you": hey you!

The simple fix is to replace second-person titles with first-person titles. I've done that above. Now we can discuss the more interesting things in the article.
That's not even remotely true. Most things in nature people talk about being fractal aren't, in the mathematical sense, at all. They show statistical variation between areas and only have a few levels of self-similarity. A few minutes of Googling with confirm that.
It's there for reasons but the reasons are mostly not that good.

The big problem is that these projects are managed by people who aren't technical, who have never built anything concrete and whose gulf of cultural experience between manager and worker is enormous.

In the rest of the world this is being fixed by programmers drifting out of the enterprise and into dedicated software firms. The non-technical people in "the business" get to issue RFPs, watch slide shows and be in meetings: where they like to be. They cut a cheque and get a system they know works, they know what it does, it has a predictable price, it's a web app so it bypasses their terrible IT department. The technical people get to work for each other and bosses who are themselves former programmers, so they don't get asked every five minutes to draw Gantt charts with to-the-day ticket time estimates. Everyone is happy.

That hasn't really happened with government, probably because there are so few of them. Government IT in a box is a great idea though.

This statement is definitely wrong in this generic blank fashion. Also I would lay upon you the burden of proof for it :).

Tight, low level code in Java and Go is roughly as fast as average C code. The Go compiler is know to be less good at optimizing code than e.g. GCC, but this in many cases creates little practical difference, while the Java JIT compilers have become excellent to a point where they often beat GCC, especially as they can use run time profiling for code optimization. So they can optimize the code for the actual task at hand.

Where the languages differ in "speed" is their runtime environment. Java and Go are languages with garbage collection, which of course means that some amount of CPU is required to perform GC. But as the modern garbage collectors run in parallel with the program, this CPU effort often enough is no bottleneck. On the other side, manual memory management has different performance trade-offs, which in many cases can make it quite slow on its own.
It’s a little unrelated but Azure and Office 365 are becoming the same thing in large enterprise, utilising the same Azure AD, letting you run the same powershell/python managed services on your office 365 platform from your Azure platform. Utilising things like OIOSAML for multi-organisational setups for IDM with a mix of local, azure AD and office 365 account management.

I personally prefer things like digital ocean or even heroku becaus they are so much easier to use and manage, but it’s really hard to build a business case on non-azure when you have 365, and there is no alternative to 365 if you’re in a GDPR sector.

We have plenty of procurement projects that are hosted in AWS by private suppliers, so it’s not like we’re somehow against other cloud vendors, it just doesn’t make sense to not chose Azure when you have 365, because that means you’re already partly there and already have the Microsoft certified and trained it staff.
Well no arrests but the govt is investigating the fake coronavirus health department press releases made by some racist folks and which spread like wildfire on social media prompting the communications minister to step in.

As for the govt lying about the bushfires, yes most definitely, we had tourism chiefs out there on the offensive claiming Australia was fine to visit when most of the East Coast had the worse air quality on Earth for months.

We had a tourism minister standing on a half burnt Kangaroo Island which was still in lockdown from the fire telling people it's the best time to visit.

Govts lie all the time for self interest. And strangely many of the public totally support them doing so when it's their team or for personal benefit.
Improve productivity so that we achieve more in less time so that we have more time for leisure on a daily basis.
No; none of those are using deprecated APIs. VirtualBox and VMware could avoid the need for a kext by moving to Hypervisor.framework, but there's no immediate need to.
Well it kind of does.

They forget the agile cycle moves from maintenance back to development again.

This needs to include the energy cost of data transmission to/from cloud data centers as well for a fair comparison. These server farms don't exist in isolation.
I have to say, I've tried a digital whiteboard (Samsung Flip), and that thing was very cool. Wiping it (starting a new page) automatically saved the last into a history roll, and you could send them over email/network drive/etc. We made a draft design of a feature, then started a shared document from the uploaded picture made on the whiteboard. Worked quite well.

The main problem is the price, we can hardly afford one for each person, especially since it's not exactly something we use daily. Plus, even if we did, I'm not sure there's anyway to sync them in real-time.
But do they spy on you ? not knowing something does not mean it does not exist

Some outside researchers have concluded that. There is still conflicting information.

And really, the researchers are just saying it may not have originated in that specific market, but are still saying it's likely related to trade of live wild animals.
In theory maybe.

In practice - the application running in the pod has to be aware of this, and the most intensive part are rarely the bottleneck. Most of the time this is an architecture issue, not a resource issue. This takes time and experience, and overhauling a platform to remove a bottleneck is usually very painful if you have a bit more complex setup.
Ok, I've taken "world's simplest" out of the title, since it's baity and obviously editorialized (which breaks the rules at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) and leads to maybe not the optimally interesting discussion.

Yes :) The time saved should not be used to squeeze in more "code done".

On my side I've saved lots of time by simplifying the tools I used, reducing the number of dependencies, frameworks and other stuff and writing simple, "childish" code.

I'm a web developer. I prefer to do simple Ajax, HTML, pure JS and simple CSS and a good framework such as Laravel. For 80% of the projects its enough to "do the job". If the client wants a "nice looking date picker" just go for the default HTML one, saves hours/days and the difference is minimal.

I've stopped looking for "new shiny" tools. In the end people are just looking for simple stuff that works.

Look at Hacker News for example. Minimalist. But "the job is done".
