Curious to know what you think of the React + RPC (e.g. https://github.com/reframejs/wildcard-api) + PostgreSQL stack in comparison to React + Relay + GraphQL + PostgreSQL?

RPC tightly couples frontend and backend. Decoupling is usually only needed for (very) large applications; while getting there you migrate from RPC to GraphQL.

> the total amount of physical stuff churning through the US economy has declined since the 1930s (or so?) just in terms of sheer mass.

That’s an extraordinary claim to me, especially given population growth, and I would need some rigorous evidence to believe it. Cars are bigger, homes are bigger, people live further apart, and people travel more. How can the sheer mass not be more simply because of the mass of all the extra fuel?

I would be happy if municipalities simply cleaned and maintained public spaces like subways. It's possible, but it's a boiling the ocean problem. Homelessness, mental illness, vicious youth, all in a context of ever-decreasing public infrastructure investment and bitter inequality of resources and opportunity-- it doesn't help make for a clean subway system.
In the UK it is now being done on a "drive through" basis at some hospitals. You park and nurses in protective gear come out to take a saliva sample while you stay in the car. Then you drive home, self isolate and wait for the results.

I am not aware of countries that test completely randomly. But many countries have so-called sentinel surveillance, where 1-5% of family doctors (general practitioners) send in samples to a lab from patients who appear with influenza-like or respiratory symptoms. This is how they monitor the spread of different kinds of influenza strain. In principle, if there’s enough testing capacity and it’s judged worthwhile, this could be expanded to also test these samples for SARS-CoV-2.

https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/seasonal-influenza/surveillanc...

This makes it sound like at least one German state has tested for coronavirus as part of their sentinel surveillance, but I’m not sure if that test was completely random:

In practice constructible for reals mean that you can approximate them with arbitrarily small know precision e.g. a sequence of retional number numbers q_n each no more that 1/n apart from the actual real number.

The point is that such a sequence needs to be constructive in the usual sense, so there are still only a countable number of them.

That's a pretty reductive and reactionary comment, and I feel like I'm succumbing to some of my worst impulses by responding to it four days later. But, clearly, some point in there has touched a nerve, so here goes:

For one thing: it missed (or ignored, but I'll default to "missed") my point about the large pay cut involved.

For another: it stack ranked peer perception as being more important in my decisionmaking than the pay cut. My original comment certainly appears to value perception over pay. That's a huge miscommunication of my priorities, and my fault. I wasn't about to take a 30% pay cut. The fact that I'd also have to withstand the negative scrutiny of my friends and family just made it that much easier to decline.

For a third: we all hope to do work that we can be proud of. Part of that pride is to be able to hold up the fruits of our labor to others and take pride in having participated in it. I don't think I could have done that without thinking twice had I taken that job - and I'm not just talking about the security clearance angle here. Dealing with the negative reactions from my friends and family would have been a problem for me. Not the biggest one, but a problem. Acceptance is a big precursor to feeling safe, and self actualized. I feel the acceptance of a group of peers now. I do not want to trade that for more intellectually challenging work with an ethical component that my friends and family find questionable. I'd apply this reasoning in equal part to a role where I was paid more, but just as questionable. (I don't want to get rich building technology that enables the next Bernie Madoff, for example.)

Perhaps I'm of a weaker intellectual constitution than you are to be so easily influenced by the opinion of other people. However, I view that mental flexibility as a strength. I also trust the opinion (and, by extension, the underlying moral character) of my peers, who have been a positive moral force in my life. Hence, it was important to me not to compromise their trust and acceptance of me, and my career choices.

Specifying the interface of a CLI command is a good example of a natural place for declarative programming. You just want to write WHAT the interface is, not HOW to do the parsing.

When I made a homegrown Lisp implementation, eventually being able to put a single macro "(usage ...)" in the standard library that, when utilised in a script, would invisibly generate the parsing and variable binding machinery, was one of the more rewarding parts.

I don't get it. We have custom web frontends because we feel our problems can be solved more efficiently in UIs different from a spreadsheet, don't we?

Granted, not every custom UI is better than its spreadsheet version would be. But thats a different problem.

Otherwise, there are a lot of react datagrid and spreadsheet components to use if you feel that would be the best UI solution for your app.

We still have Access/Filemaker in use. Just as a frontend, but still. There could be something better, but often there just isn't. Some turned their Access apps up to eleven, with maps integration for navigation, address completion, automatic correspondance functions, automatic dashboarding for different departments... some are even more advanced than the latest stock CRM/ERP solutions from known developers.

There certainly would be a better solutions, but reimplementing some of those apps would take months or even years of development time. Completely crazy.
I've recommended this before - you don't need a special/low power processor for that!

Technically, any processor with a hardware video decoder will work fine as long as you limit the TDP to something your cooling can manage. Especially mobile processors.

You can easily limit TDP on any major OS - now if you'd use some custom software, you'd need to implement it yourself, it's rather easy to do via MSR editing, Intel has their list of processor MSR's freely available.

I don't see how the weird corollary the comic mentions could work. if you were to pick stocks that consistently underperform the market and someone used your choices as a metric of what NOT to pick (with the idea of thus outperforming the market with their choices) they'd be much more likely to simply pick a majority of mediocre to average stocks instead of special winners, since the selection of stagnant or only modestly growing stocks is much bigger than either the selection of underperformers or major growth choices.

Chicago tried this decades ago with the State Street Mall project [1]. It turned out to be an overall flop, with stores seeing reduced traffic, and by 1993 it was gone and good riddance. As a pedestrian, I hated it when I worked downtown.

Maybe they'll do something on Market Street that will work better, or perhaps it might be a better fit there than in Chicago, but I wish them luck, because they're going to need it.

Ask HN: How to find work while homeless?
I'm at my wits end.

I was made homeless and had my financial support dropped at the beginning of the year, and am currently staying in squats etc in the Netherlands. I have nearly no income - 10 euros a week in donations towards an open-source project I'm working on to build a live video streaming platform for the fediverse, and occasional requests for solidarity funds.

My situation is... not great. Half my time is taken up by anxiety around police violence, illegal evictions, my friends being arrested. Still, in the immediate term, it's better than sleeping rough.

I'm not sure how to find work; I've not had a paying job in the last 8 years. I've worked on software for myself and others in hackerspaces and the like; and helped run a volunteer cafe for a large portion of last year (sinking 20+ hours a week into that fairly consistently), but I can't seem to even turn that into an actual paying cafe job. I go through bursts of sending dozens of applications a week to anything that is vaguely relevant to anything I've done in the past, and receive... mostly nothing in response.

I don't know what's wrong with me. All I want is to make enough money to survive. I'm going to be dead in a few months if I can't work something out.

Does anyone have any advice, at all?
NASCAR Racing - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASCAR_Racing_(video_game)

Even as the tech lead on the product, I have to agree with the critical commentary in the PSX section of that page. Our company's stock in trade was realism and it hurt us with the mainstream gamers on the PC side, but was even more severely limiting on the console audience. (We also didn't crush it on the execution side on the PSX port.)

Those apologetic efforts always fall flat it seems because the justifications always make it clear that the rot is far deeper. "He wasn't facing torture for pursuit if the truth but for undermining their power and authority" is an even worse look than being deluded fundamentalists. Nothing of their intentions changes the outcome that came from their actions which they are fully responsible for. Whether Archimedes was stabbed for being impertinent, rage of the invaders at his years of countersiege engines, or even if he starved to death in the siegr his death was still a great loss regardless of why or how and Rome was fundamentally alsays responsible!

There can be no reason which results from such exercises as apologism ammounts to justifying travesties to assuage their own cognitive dissonance and deserver bad reputations. It fundamentally a perpetuation of the evils of the past through rationalization.

Well, and the externalities of the driver's carbon emissions are a massive negative impact on all of us. In a city as dense as San Francisco, transit, walking, or biking can easily cover most people's transportation needs. The more we build safe and effective infrastructure for those modes, the more people will use them. And that will be good - in the end - for the remaining few who do absolutely need to drive (though I believe that if we get creative, with things like bike rikshaws, we can even cover that segment with out cars).

If we don't change these sorts of habits, the climate will change them for us.
We're talking about one street. Is it seriously a "massive negative impact" to drive down the next street over?
I agree. I think that the OP must look carefully for a coin that is profitable when mined intermently (perhaps using common hardware instead of ASICs?). (I think most of the cost analysis assume that you are mining 24/7, and that is important for the amortization cost of the ASICs.)
Massive? That's a pretty weak negative here. Cycling and walking feels good when there's no car around, public transport is a great time to relax, read a book or meet people. And it's only one street, people can still drive close to where they want to be.

That said, I'd urge everyone to get a few P95 [1] masks for themselves and their family members, in the event that you have to accompany them to a hospital, or even to wear in public if you live in an urban environment.

You're right that this will negatively affect some drivers, but it's not necessarily true that every driver removed from the road is worse off. Some of the 25% increase in cyclists may have been drivers who preferred to cycle but did not feel safe doing so.

Anecdotally, I feel that way here in NYC -- I'd almost always rather bike (and it's often faster), but will sometimes take an Uber/Lyft because I don't feel safe biking in traffic, thus becoming traffic myself and perpetuating the vicious cycle.
If you bother to build the cycling lane then differentiating it a bit more obviously from the sidewalk is not such a big expenditure. Loot at this [0] setup (just outside of Copenhagen). Simply having a few centimeters of difference in height between the 3 lanes (pedestrians, bikes, cars) makes them very obvious and a lot harder to accidentally cross them. It also allows treating the cycling lane as another traffic lane with its own road markings and everything. [1]

It doesn't feel like the extra kerb is a matter of cost as much as of "sharing" the environment. So the expectation is "there won't be too many bikes so pedestrians can just use the entire sidewalk when needed". This just leads to more cyclists trying their luck on the street with the cars which are more predictable than pedestrians.

How do teams with many tasks complete timesheets
Hi,
i am wondering if you have came across the struggle to complete a timesheet with timecodes coming from tasks connected to CRM. So basicaly, CRM has many customers and projects with tasks assigned to each project. IT team is requested to put their hours under those tasks.

But having too many tasks to do all day takes long time.. do you ever came across such requirement?
Oh wow!

For reasons unbeknownst to me, my father had that game for the PC. It was one of two games in our household at the time (The other being "Mario Is Missing!" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Is_Missing!).

I played that quite a bit, but I think I spent most time painting the car, because I wasn't any good at the actual racing.
I'd say that's not really the problem with Facebook (well it is but bear with me): long ago, at the end of the 90's, it was highly recommended to use pseudonyms on the Internet because `you never know who's who` and well.. it was right and we didn't know what the Internet could really do.

When Facebook/Gmail happened and people were nudged to use their real names... because we need `real` connections. Well, that didn't tipped enough of us. Facebook was the tinder of the day, right ?

But then the whole privacy thing came back to bite us hard (and will bite harder in the coming years).

So we are back to using pseudonyms (which according to my friend's 11yo daughter's guide to the Internet everyone should use anyway) as the default. Except for professional things. We need a professional Internet presence, hello LinkedIn and $name $familyname + 'pro' Facebook account.

Now there was an argument that with everything in the open then people would get more tolerant about other's mischievings and out-of-the-accepted-norm behavior. Big nope as a whole it turned out.

Anyway, youth of today have figured it out years ago and just have multiple personas with different accounts.

With different accounts, not with different circles or different sharing settings. And of course with silly names.

Like you said Facebook isn't designed around the various personas of an individual but increasingly during the last decade the whole Internet community makers (software builders and evangelists and users) were misled on the `true identity` thing and we are only slowly assessing the damage and recovering.

What I mean to say is: everyone was on board with not having various personas. Latest large scale attempt to overcome this failed hard (Google's circles) because people don't want to micro-manage their online Rolodex and it turns out you can't trust Google to respect that firewall anyway (see the cases about people being outed as transgenders).

Only pseudonyms and different accounts can alleviate that and it's going to happen more because most of people will get back to that mindset.
