Elons reputation is so tarnished in my mind. All of his industries rely on taking tax money. Billionaires being billionaires...
In the UK hospitals still have individual budgets, is that not how it works in Japan.

Yes, I'd expect them to be overridden in times of emergency, but nonetheless - do Japanese hospitals really have scope to spend at will without constraints?
You are correct, of course. Java, Python, C++, etc. also have huge ecosystems.
So this puts some basic information into every terminal, and there is no way add your own information? Why not use the normal Bar from your windowmanager or desktop environment?

I could understand it if you can personalize the bars per terminal, and show some context-specific informations. Stuff like git-branch, hostname, docker-container or active virtual environment, which usually ends in the prompt and is more of a waste to be located there. But there seems to be no way for scripting this?
And it only took legal fraud accusation and online media coverage to resolve that. Trustworthy :)
No problem here, buddy. Just reminding us all to consider that everything we read has an agenda. Including what I wrote, and what you wrote.
Wow. Got lots of downvotes on the above comment. Not complaining, but curious what is going on here.
Of course, only if the two parents really are coming from different families originally...
Slightly orthogonal to the original point, but worth noting that operators can also increase confusion when they don't interact with each other in expected ways. For example, in Python, 'x += y' isn't equivalent to 'x = x + y' in all contexts. Example:

>>> a_tuple = ([1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6])
>>> a_tuple[2] += ['foo', 'bar']
TypeError: 'tuple' object does not support item assignment
>>> a_tuple
([1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6, 'foo', 'bar'])

vs

>>> a_tuple = ([1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6])
>>> a_tuple[2] = a_tuple[2] + ['foo', 'bar']
TypeError: 'tuple' object does not support item assignment
>>> a_tuple
([1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6])

Edited to add, to understand what's happening here, check out the documentation on in place operators: https://docs.python.org/3/library/operator.html#in-place-ope...
I would prefer to send them all to a Politics inbox, to be honest.
In this case it's justified, because there is no ambiguity. Just as a mathematician would write using traditional notation without parentheses. At the courses I attended in group theory, module theory etc. we were always required to prove that things are associative before dropping parentheses. Lisp notation just requires less characters (the '+' isn't repeated), but the convention is the same.
I'm not joking, what Assange did was at best 'cunty'. He could have been more careful releasing the information but he wasnt.

He's being made an example of, its clear as day. My 'if its right or wrong' depends on your side of the argument, so no. I'm not joking.

> "cruel and unusual punishment"

Couldn't agree with you more, he should not be made to suffer needlessly.. He's not in a labor camp, he's not being whipped. He knew he was going to be made an example of. This is the result. I'm not saying its nice, but it's not even punishment yet. He will receive much worse later I'm sure.
If we teach operators to children they won't become adults biased against some operators they haven't learned.
I disagree. Nobody, but nobody, is some kind of robot perfectly witnessing and reporting events in some kind of perfect language that perfectly conveys the whole truth and nothing but the truth (despite the typical HN cyborg-wannabee viewpoint - the locally over-represented kind of person who decides they have no biases). "Consider the source" is always an issue. Always.

It's unpopular to say it, and a lot of people don't like to be reminded that they don't live in a world of perfect information, but it's true.
Probably overreacting. There is a much greater chance of you dying on your commute than catching the virus if you are in the US, so the virus has not significantly increased your chances of death. And if you are worried about being a carrier, it is far more likely for you to get the flu, which can also be deadly, so the virus has not significantly increased your risk to others either.

Maybe if the US had tens of thousands of cases it would make more sense, but right now I don't see why anyone in North America should be changing their habits given how small the risk is relative to the things we are already exposed to.
The timeline on the BNO site is useful, but have you seen this site by Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering that is tracking the cases (confirmed, deaths, recovered)?

Wait: You mean to say URLs are encrypted? I thought not. There must be a reason why GET requests aren't used for secret-sharing, for instance, as opposed to POST. What am I missing?
As pointed out elsewhere, the rape allegations are credible. And while I'm not calling him a right-wing zealot, and considered him left-libertarian for his dedication to free information and opposition to censorship, he did at some point seem to work with Trump and Russia in order to falsely discredit Clinton and get Trump elected. So again, there is evidence to support it.
Very recently they released a new MasterClass with Bob Iger. It's very unlikely he would engage in that if his plan was to step down soon. Also, if any publicly-traded company CEO steps down so suddenly, there's always some hidden reason behind that...
It's wrong. Just to clarify that for you. It's not a guess.
Opera R2020 bundles in some killer UI features that Firefox and Chrome don't
Major Win32-only applications like Microsoft Office, SAP and countless in-house applications written over the last 25 years are the reason that many companies use Windows.

Microsoft understands that the Windows API "is so deeply embedded in the source code of many Windows apps that there is a huge switching cost to using a different operating system instead".[1] If they force companies to incur that cost by dropping Win32 support, that gives companies the chance to make their application cross-platform at a much smaller additional cost, and shed their reliance on Windows.

Windows licensing fees are still quite a large chunk of Microsoft's revenues, so I think that they will not make this move any time soon.

That "it's normal" that governments have secrets is something that should be of the past. It goes hand-in-hand with the existence of conflicts and international tensions. Which I also think should be of the past, for the sake of it.

Then there is the way to manage lots of citizens while protecting their privacy, and for that we already have a lot of anonymization techs, using hashs, and sym or asym ciphers, etc... that's just a matter of now doing it instead of just knowing how we can do it...
Viruses don't really pay much attention to economic rivalries and supply chains can be disrupted wherever they exist. As for "helping" the west, you're misunderstanding how gains from trade work.

My belief; it is not unfair (he is deliberately presenting himself as a source of truth in the matter, publicly and openly), and I did not attack his credibility. I invited you to consider the source. Perhaps you conclude, after consideration, that he is an especially credible source.
> I think when this all comes to an end, China will be one of the countries that dealt with the virus the best. Countries without authoritarian governments ...

Except China's system of government got us here in the first place:

> Contrary to common belief, the killer digital app for authoritarianism isn’t listening in on people through increased surveillance, but listening to them as they express their honest opinions, especially complaints. An Orwellian surveillance-based system would be overwhelming and repressive, as it is now in China, but it would also be similar to losing sensation in parts of one’s body due to nerve injuries. Without the pain to warn the brain, the hand stays on the hot stove, unaware of the damage to the flesh until it’s too late.

> During the Ming dynasty, Emperor Zhu Di found out that some petitions to the emperor had not made it to him, because officials were blocking them. He was alarmed and ordered such blocks removed. “Stability depends on superior and inferior communicating; there is none when they do not. From ancient times, many a state has fallen because a ruler did not know the affairs of the people,” he said. Xi would have done well to take note.

The authoritativeness suppresses the very information flow that is needed to know what's going on. Dr Li Wenliang tried to warn people and the police paid him a visit and told him to stop:

Ask HN: Static Code Analysis Tools
Good day HN

I'm on the lookout for static analysis tooling to apply to our toolchain, preferably at code review time. I thought it a good idea to ask the community here. A hosted solution would suit us well, as we try to focus internal engineering and maintenance efforts on our core platform (Kubernetes) and our code.

We utilise GitHub for all of our repositories and have review policies implemented whereby at least 1 approval must be granted for a PR to be merged. I'd like to insert static analysis at this point so that vulnerabilities etc can be fixed before code is merged into the mainline.

To complete the picture, once code is merged, it is picked up by Bamboo, fresh distroless images are built and the code deployed throughout dev/stage/sandbox/production.

I look forward to your recommendations.

Thanks and regards!

Now there's a comment you don't want taken out of context.
This kind of remind me of the argument of deliberate practice presented in the book "Talent Is Overrated". The biggest improvements can just be made by deliberately learning and practicing the things that good players take for granted.
> I'm not joking, what Assange did was at best 'cunty'.

Releasing evidence of governments doing torturing, extra-judicial killings of journalists and children,which violate the Geneva Convention, as well as a slew of other materials isn't 'cunty'.

> He could have been more careful releasing the information but he wasnt.

In what way was he not careful?

> My 'if its right or wrong' depends on your side of the argument, so no. I'm not joking.

That's weird, because you are a fucking clown.

Look up the definition of cruel and unusual punishment.
None of the homepages I looked at today (Guardian, BBC) has a single mention of Assange. Yes they all had token articles buried somewhere though if you search.
That's exactly my thought. Giving medal for dealing with the problem forgetting who let that problem get large in the first place.

The time when Chinese doctors screamed there is something wrong but instead being helped were downplayed or even threatened would be enough to prevent it from snowballing it to the size we face today.
> lasts a life time.

This won't change much. Nobody will work on Pentium II, drive a gas guzzler or get a low resolution MRI. It's hard to regulate such stuff. You can only improve it a bit e.g. mandatory 3-year warranty with an option to extend it to 6 years. While buying the consumer would see the price for each warranty length.
I know most people here like to defend the established ways of doing things. But in an crisis like this we need to go back to first principles and see which steps are really needed and what can be speed up.

Every day we waste people die.
The point that's been made is that the fit is suspiciously perfect, +/- 1 person per day.

Either Wuhan is populated by perfect spheres in a vacuum or the reported numbers were based on a projection, not data.
You might change your mind if you'd ever met an arrogant doctor whose biggest concern was their own ego and you didn't have a second option. I'm met a few doctors who are so rude and arrogant they wouldn't even pass the HR screen at anywhere I've worked. Depriving people of choice just gives assholes even more of a chance to be assholes, because people have no other alternatives than to go to the assholes.
I agree that nowadays everything should be responsive, however I feel discarding someone else's effort when they are mentioning that the site is for desktop, is inconsiderate.

Morel: A Functional Language for Data
When you're unsure about how Python treats an expression, then the ast¹ module is your friend:

>>> ast.dump(ast.parse('n != x &~ n'), False)
Module([Expr(Compare(Name('n', Load()), [NotEq()], [BinOp(Name('x', Load()), BitAnd(), UnaryOp(Invert(), Name('n', Load())))]))])

It can make it easier to reason through the curiosities, such as the precedence in the given example.

Note: Suggesting `ast` as a solution surely proves continuational's point ;)

None, although here is a Yankees players detailing how they stole signs: https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2020/02/21/mark-teix.... I simply mentioned that people I know who work for MLB teams have said such things. I already stated that I think every team cheats to some degree. That was my larger point- no team is playing the game by the rules. The Astros are the most egregious that we know of. I suspect the Red Sox report will be similarly damning. But the malfesence isn't limited to those two teams. The architect of the scheme played for 7 teams in 20 years...hard to believe he came up the plan in his 20th and final season.

He released evidence rightly so but compromising a lot of sources, methods and other info. It could have been released better. The info should have been released, my argument is not in defence of the original actions.

I'm starting to think the United States needs a 10%er/intellectual/managerial/rational collition.

I'm intentionally leaving that open ended because there are smart people that work for non profits and science. This demographic is noticeably different than the supporters of the 2 leading populist demagogues.

We understand climate change is happening, we see the empty promises of demagogues, we had our taxes raised under Trump, and our health insurance costs go up under Obama.

It's unfortunate that class warfare is developing, but I think the 10%ers are late to the party.

The USA is objectively corrupt from the top, have recently removed themselves from non nuclear proliferation and climate treaties .. as a country the message seems clear that USA don't care two shits about the rest of the World.

The choice of the "|" operator for set union comes from bitwise operations: bitwise OR works as a union operator if you are using integers as bit vectors to represent sets of boolean attributes. And it was a common idiom back in the day when people used to program in C/assembly, using words as bit vectors was a common way to save memory.

Hence "|" as set union is intuitive for people who are familiar with this application of bit vectors.

All three are totally dependent on cloud services to power revenue growth in the forseeable future. Amazon's retail efforts aren't where the big exciting growth for investors is, it's all AWS. Windows/Office has been stagnant for a long time, or even in decline. MSFT price only took off once Azure took off. And as for Google, well, what exactly are they doing that's new other than GCP? They've got nothing that can absorb growth at their scale.

If you look at the costs of the big 3 tech firm cloud solutions relative to what you can get from smaller providers, it's an enormous markup. None of them are going to compete with each other on price because that'd void the point of doing cloud to begin with. Plus tech firms hate competing on price. It signals to the market that you've run out of innovations.

Containment has failed. At this point, quarantine is about slowing transmission to avoid overwhelming healthcare resources.

OneZero-Commissioned Poll Sheds Light on Plight of H-1B Workers
Glad to see reducing consumption at the top.

People's scarcity mindset makes them think burning less fossil fuels and consuming less stuff will lower their quality of life. On the contrary, most Americans could reduce their consumption by 80% off pure life improvements.

People convolve reducing consumption with returning to the stone age, which is a false dichotomy. It's more like exiting a mindset that stuff means happy to where it means people trying to create craving.

I speak from experience of reducing my consumption by about 90%, leading many others to start reducing through my leadership executive training and podcast. Before they act, they're full of facts and figures arguing why not to act. After they act, they wish they had earlier. The key is to activate their intrinsic motivation, not to tell them what to do. Then what they do feels meaningful.

People don't want to do small things, they want to do meaningful things.
> Having said that, I don't think it's the responsibility of the WHO to distribute masks to health professionals like your partner.

it's the CDC's who acts on advise and recommendations made by the WHO. The WHO has in 2018 warned about a disease X[1], so the CDC and local health ministries would have had 2 years to prioritize and make sure there are enough stocks for PPE in the country. It's not only about the masks for a theoretical pandemic that may or may not play out. There are shortages in other areas as well on a daily basis which are more complex and require structural cahnges. Take Germany as an example that hires Eastern Europeans as health-care workers (mostly for disabled people and elderly facilities) with salaries of ~€600-€800/month where they are placed on contracts from Slovenia and Poland to avoid paying the local insurance. (so some of the people working in healthcare can be put on crazy shifts under what is for EU standards a slave-labor condition). I won't even mention the health-care facilities in Croatia, Romania, Slovenia where elderly facilities buy drugs illegally because they want to pocket the difference, or where somebody who is hired as a nurse has actually never had any training as a nurse.

I know of some elderly care facilities in Croatia which are run by a lovely Albanian couple that branched out into this (their other businesses is bars/cafes). The wife of the entrepreneur/owner drives a fat Mercedes and goes on holidays to Paris, but the residents are lying in their own shit and swallow counterfeit drugs - also their employees are paid cash because they are usually elderly women themselves who have a lot of private debt - so this is the only way for them to survive.

This isn't whataboutism but an example of the places which won't stand a chance when this disease really hits. They aren't rare either, we just don't see them because it's disgusting and easier to look away.

As you said the price of masks has increased (in my experience by a factor of 10x !!) because people see an opportunity.

> Shakespeare mentioned it time and time again in his plays

I'm pretty sure what Shakespeare was referencing is a much more general idea prevalent in his day - that smells (not necessarily unpleasant ones) could be poisonous, and could be warded off by opposing "good" smells. This roughly coincided with an explosion of scented-good manufacturing as a cottage industry, although I'm not sure which way the arrow of causation ran there.
