Unless I'm reading it wrong, the text says "Please implement TLS". Not everything is evil, toxic and in need of your downvote hammer. There's no injustice to be fixed here.
The only things I'm searching this way are related to Windows' own ambiguities and opaqueness. For example, something like classic 'Control Panel' (not quite true, 'bookmarked' it after a while) or special setting menues. Most of these issues are caused by the dual UI.

All other things - in particular file search - are much more comfortable with Total Commander, a software providing a sophisticated consistent interface for more than 20 years now, superseding any Windows versions internal abilities easily (including the whole explorer functionality).
Many were, and many were volunteers (or at least volunteered for that specific duty). I don't think that makes them any less heroic.
So you are programmer and no epidemiologist. I would believe the true experts get their models and math right. And I believe them to have correct data base, plus the experience to read and interpret the data they get from the ground.

The fact that you are already planning to bug out, despite being on a different continent is also a little bit telling.
Thanks. The announcement wasn’t there the last time I checked.
CPU is just x86-64, so on PC no emulation of that is necessary. More problematic is translation of custom graphics API (Gnm/Gnmx) and shading language (PSSL), but similar feats were done before (DirectX->OpenGL wined3d, DirectX->Vulkan DXVK, etc.) so it should be doable. Game performance might be hurt because they could have assumed that CPU<>GPU transfers are very fast, on PS4 it is UMA with single memory.

Though I wonder how feasible would be trying to pull graphics driver from PS4 firmware and make it to work with Radeon HD7000 series GPU.

> I’m fairly sure the JS standard guarantees that no layouting (or any form of rendering) would happen mid function execution.

I think the JS standard doesn't have any notion or layout of rendering. Which part of the standard are you referring to?

I wonder if it would be better to get infected now (on purpose), while hospitals are not under heavy load yet. You probably have higher chance of survival now, comparing to many weeks from now.
Also the virus might mutate and become more deadly, so having antibodies now would also help down the line.
This tool is wonderful - mindbogglingly fast. I can't believe how long it has been around, without equivalent performance or consistency baked into Windows. I think I first used this before Vista came out - has it really been that long?
If I rely on a python version and I expect other people to use it, I add a version if statement on top. I hate those packaging tools that insist on installing stuff in your system and create a frankendebian when really all I want to do is run a single py file standalone once. Often have to do chenanigans like "python3 -c 'from sometool import __app__'".

If you want to install it, go ahead and copy or symlink it in your ~/bin or whatever you fancy (that's your personal preference anyway unless I'd specifically package it for some OS like Debian). I don't want to have to use some setup.py that I have no clue where in my OS it installs things.
No, it rewards the publication, the motivation being to improve welfare. There's no point in focusing on the intermediate target if it doesn't get you what you actually want.
At this point, it may be prudent to just block off that entire district.

Can you legally claim "hostile regulatory environment" or something like that for denying service?

Anyone know how true this is? Particularly for mobile/asymmetric bandwidth connections - what might the errors bars be?
I think "What Color is your Parachute" is very insightful on what interviewers are looking for - or should be - and in what order:

1. why us?
2. can you basically do the job?
3. what extra specials can you bring?
4. will you fit in here?
5. can we afford you?

Before all that, know what you want, will suit you, and your strengths - then select somewhere appropriate, where you can help.
I guess this an awesome tech for places where there is no clean water, as long as those places are close enough to the shore.

But again, I doubt that any investor will be interested, as they will probably not get good enough ROE with this.

This would probably get the attention of government of some poor countries, or maybe some humanitarian organizations, or even the military.

I would probably be confident that a small portable kit could be marketed to survivalists and it would sell extremely well.
Same. And "torrent" returns no results at all. :/
Sure it does. Software development is a seller’s market. There’s plenty of opportunity out there for any half decent programmer, and nobody should be compromising on their dignity for the sake of a pay check.
As much as I'm a fan of these FOSS WebRTC solutions, nothing quite worked for me reliably in a room of people with a variety of devices and technical knowledge.

I use https://fileroom.io/about but it is not FOSS, it does use their own servers for storage (you have to believe they delete the files) and the project looks dead overall.

But this drop.lol thing does not allow "click to browse" and that is rather cumbersome on mobile. Also, users should be able to asign a name?
Being honest about a defect/weakness like this while being a FreeBSD developer gives me (as non-FreeBSD user) faith in your platform.

If the index isn't updated instantly then they should account for that by first searching the index (for speed) and then manually trawling through the Start Menu folders for results which are missing from the index.
You made two nice points:

1) In complex problems outside your domain, trust the experts.

2) These experts should go out and sell the truth in way laypeople understand them. Which is incredibly hard as everyone prefers dooms day scenarios it seems.

Just kind of sad even HN doesn't get that as this thread clearly shows.
I would like to discuss the definition of heroism (which might easily be culture-specific); however, I suspect that it is a highly sensitive subject in this context, so let's leave it at that.
I mention AR because browser extensions would work well on the web, but you'd only be able to do the same on mobile with a system that cooperates, and there's a slim chance that Apple and Google - esp. the latter - would allow something of the sort to materialize. Plus of course with AR you could take it to the streets!

As for the business model of this independent platform, one could still make a ton of money out of it as long as its revenue-generating incentives were disaligned from the review scores, and I really think that's not such a hard problem to solve.
the .docker problem is because (IIRC) by default the indexing service is set to ignore a bunch of folders. I think Program Files is also excluded by default, which is fun if you want to run an .exe file.
Oh great!
Now I get downvoted because I know what escrow means. It would help if those who bothered to downvote me would provide a link where google says they held the money in escrow instead of a link where they said they would just hold on to the money.

Anyway, PS4 emulation isn't very affected by this.
Only thing it would benefit from would be that you'd be able to decrypt the firmware (and therefore run the emulator) without needing a hacked PS4 (like RPCS3 does with PS3 firmware).

Historically most people just pirate the firmware anyway (see: PS1 BIOS) so even there realistically it doesn't affect things that much. I consider this is a long-term, nice-to-have feature.
That is technically correct but in policy discussion and the Economics literature patents are usually linked to innovation (where innovation is defined as invention + commercialization). As the earlier poster suggests the link may not be as strong as its proponents argue, but we don’t have a lot of counter factual data. Innovative economies generally develop strong IP protection around the same time they become innovative.
I don’t think we can replicate this state solely with current electric components. What is way more interesting would be the connection of human nerve tissue and computers.

According to a medical professional in my family who have close friends that have worked on the front line of epidemics, the high grade protective gears are like space suits, it takes close to an hour just to put them on and make sure they’re airtight, and taking them off takes even longer due to the significant risk of inflection (compared to when you put on a clean set) if you don’t take extreme care. Then there’s shower and stuff. You can’t eat or drink anything during the entire process, including the four to six hour shift in between putting on and taking off, and not surprisingly it’s extra taxing to work in the suits. Therefore, even if there are enough protective gear, fully equipping them basically cuts the available labor force by half, which is already heavily strained.
There are some quite substantial worker owned businesses around the world.

Historically, it has not been labeled Gen IV, but only because the Gen IV nomenclature didn’t exist at the time.

A Compact but Comprehensive Networking Tutorial
The point is that looking at artificial intelligence like this is naive. There are some things Actor systems excel, but fail at others. There are some things NN can do pretty well, but suck at others.
Comparing humans to all applications of AI is naive and no definitive answer can be given, because it really depends. I think that this will be the status quo in the future.

While it’s pretty clear that shows like Paw Patrol, Super Wings, and others are built around toys. The article never made it clear why this was bad. The shows still have to be interesting and entertaining to be watched by kids. I personally like Paw Patrol and others for the little lessons learned along the way. This is coming from a parent of a 2.5 year old.

I have, since January, a "frozen" Windows 7 environment with WiFi/LAN switched off. I use it rarely, now on Ubuntu, but there is something about it that feels good where it didn't before. I think it is just it's feeling of permanence.
If Chinese authorities are under reporting both, death and infections, inorder to drive "true" mortality up that would mean there more unreported people dying in relation to people being infected compared to the reported numbers. And yet every real expert out there is telling us the opposite is more likely because only the more severe cases tend to be reported. And mortality is expected to be lower if the unreported cases are considered. Not sure why laypeople prefer to believe the contrary of what experts are telling us.
Yes, and sadly the issue would be really easy to explain to anyone: we live in a world with limited resources, but population is increasing while the few rich are becoming more richer at the expense of the many poor. All it needs is connecting dots by reasoning in 4 dimensions. This will lead to an era of disasters where most countries armies will turn themselves into private police protecting the 1% rich against the 99% poor.
Capitalism and consumerism (these capitalism and consumerism) did work only when there were still free resources available, and pretty much stopped being viable when the last uncharted land was explored, mapped and exploited. Today taking control of a resource always means it is being taken from somebody else, that is, we can't make someone rich anymore without also creating like a thousand poors in the process.
It doesn't work anymore, and simply painting critics as communists is so 1950-ish and so blatantly wrong.
Very poor countries developing western lifestyles isn't compatible with solving climate change.

The whole thing looks very gloomy to me.
Find ways to sustain and improve your mental health. The future will get only more stressful and the thing between your ears will largely determine if your life is well lived or not. So far I have seen three areas that you should really look into. Sleep, meditation and exercise. In that order. They all do one thing well and that is to reduce stress and increase your resistance to stress. All other areas in your life will improve, but it’s a slow process which results are only visible after roughly two months of consistent effort.

“Predictive” algorithms influencing criminal punishment
I'm a data hoarder and I organize meticulously, so I get where you're coming from. But I often need to do searches along different dimensions than the "primary keys" I chose for organizing the directory structure. Search is indispensable for this.

As an example, say I have records related to my taxes - a bunch of documents and images - organized into directories by year, and I want to copy all of the images for the last 5 years out into a temporary directory so that I can flip through them easily. I can browse to my taxes directory, do a search for "kind:picture" then sort the results by modified date and drag the relevant items into the destination directory.

For some types of tasks this is so convenient that sometimes when I'm ssh'd into a server on my home network I'll move files into a mounted network share so that I can manipulate them from Windows Explorer. Clicking around a graphical file explorer is just way less cognitive overhead than stringing together a big command on the command line. Windows Explorer in the Windows 10 era isn't great, but it's much better than e.g. Finder or Thunar, which are my other options on my home computers.
Which, from what I read so far, should drive mortality down. Reason is that unreported cases trend towards less severe cases with an overall lower mortality rate. And nobody is disputing that kind of underreporting in any way. So I'm not sure why everybody is making such a fuss about that.
> unable to honestly reflect on themselves

Yes, there can be emotional ego barriers, which hinder seeing. "It's amazing what you can see by looking."

But I think there's also a genuine non-emotional, cognitive problem with seeing, for a non-expert. An expert coach would help... but how to evaluate expertise? Maybe credentials are enough, for a beginner.

Caixin does excellent reporting even on major scandals. As the name (财新) indicates, they specialize in financial news. That means they're not widely read except by businesspeople, which is likely how they can get away with their riskier stories. Also, you need to distinguish between embarrassing the party leadership in Beijing vs. some local cadre who thinks that gagging the local media is enough to keep his dirty laundry under wraps.

Comparative to most other jobs, of course.

I sugggest you ask a non-tech friend about their experience getting a new job: how many applications they've sent out, how many responses they've received and how many interviews they've actually been to. Then compare that to a software dev's hit rates.

I submit to you that a halfway decent software dev will have a hard time being unemployed: they might not get hired by FAANG and they might have to code in $LANGUAGE_I_HATE, but they'll be able to get a job at a reasonable salary.

Also, consider the fact that there's been a large number of businesses focused on recruitment specifically in the tech area. That's because everyone wants to hire devs and they're willing to pay recruiters to channel the funnel their way.

Few other industries have that luxury.

It's still about driver skill. If left unchecked, the engineers could build a car that would be impossible for a human to drive. Too fast, corner too hard, brake like it was on a tether, etc.
