Works surprisingly well on iOS, although it’s difficult to select the menu items (small tap target), there doesn’t appear to be any way to right click, and the window size bleeds off the right edge of the screen. Still, much more impressive functionality and performance than I expected, especially since this doesn’t seem to be optimized for mobile!
>One question you might have is “what the heck does it mean for a type to be correct?” Good question! It means your type should be as polymorphic as possible.

There's a mathematical sense in which this is correct, but I disagree for practical software. Yes, there's only one function of type (forall a. a -> a), so you can't screw it up if you have a type checker, while you can easily screw up a function of type (BizLogicType -> BizLogicType) since there are going to be many of those. But when reading code, the most polymorphic version of a function struggles from the same problem that using "x" as a variable name does. It's the type level version of the difference between ( x = f(g) ) and ( numBooks = countBooks(library) ).

But for people on lower incomes, why would they be better served with low-deductible (and expensive) policies? If they can't afford a sudden $400 expense, why is spending additional money each month for a more comprehensive policy a good idea? Remember, auto insurance doesn't cover mechanical failures.

A perfectly valid option is to have a higher deductible, and use offset that with putting the funds that would have been needed for the more expensive policy into a general savings account. However, that does require some financial discipline and planning.

And for people who make little enough money where saving that money every month isn't a viable option, they really have no business buying any sort of comprehensive auto insurance anyway. Liability only insurance is far cheaper, and provides all the protection necessary to prevent a car accident from being financially world-ending.
No, this is not true.

> It'll cost you a half million to build a full rack, power it and give it connectivity for a year.

For $1500/mo you can get half rack (5Kv) and 50 Mbps internet. A couple $5k switches and 6-8 10k servers and you're well under $125k, plus you probably don't need $10k servers or $5k switches and can find cheaper hosting. I realize you said a full rack, but that's probably overkill and could be done for $350k or less. Once you have the servers/switches your fixed costs are relatively low.
Private companies can do what they want, and like everything else, they are subject to criticism for it.

If I run a conference and un-invite someone from speaking for whatever reason, of course that is my right. And if members of the public want to criticize me for it, and make their own choices about whether to business with me on that basis, that is also their right.

This has nothing to do with this hand-wavey "Left" being hypocritical about anything. It's a company doing what it is legally allowed to do, and various members of the public having opinions about the company's choices.

If and when somebody is proposing a law to regulate that Disney has to give anti-authoritarians a voice, and that same somebody also proposed a law barring Disney from giving pro-authoritarians a voice, we can talk about hypocrisy or manacles or double-edged swords.

I wonder if this is an issue with Andrea's Google account. Maybe it's some setting that makes Google think he's from the UK. The text of the same paragraph, just as I received it from Google:

Insurance is irrelevant if there aren't enough hospital beds or medical staff/facilities to handle a widespread pandemic. I think you're focusing on the wrong issue, likely based on the political nature of the current healthcare debate.

The real guarantees of a disaster are: Do businesses have enough cashflow to handle lack of just in time inventory from China if their shelves run dry? Do millions of people in the US have enough cashflow to handle rent payments if jobs are shut down due to quarantine and they don't get hourly wages? Do we have enough pharmaceuticals on hand to overcome the supply dip, given that 80% of our drugs are manufactured in the Wuhan area? IMO health insurance rates are the least of our problems.

Aside from the disease risk, remember that the Chinese appetite for wild animals as "traditional medicine" is contributing to the disappearance of entire species. Notable and well-publicized examples include tigers and rhinos, but there are many others.

Stupid shit like using rhinos horns and tiger genitals as aphrodisiacs are still widely held beliefs in parts of China. Xi Jinping's administration has actually been encouraging this nonsense, and in Fall of 2018 they proposed lifting restrictions on the trade and sale of endangered animal parts.

This tragedy has been extensively reported for my whole life. As a little kid I remember being brought to tears by accounts of the cruelty of Chinese traditional medicine, and the appetite of east Asian countries for exotic animals in general. Documentation is plentiful. Just an example, this Nat Geo article came in near the top of my search results just now:

This isn't exactly a democracy-crushing deal as most people paint this to be, nor is this Disney trying to be family friendly. HBO shows, including ones which definitely aren't family-friendly/politically correct, are on Hotstar Premium, which is a paid subscription that costs about $15 a year. A majority of the people don't use Premium , they watch a lot of hostar videos for free / pay a smaller amount for sports, and neither of these options have HBO. A lot of people have seen the Modi clip on Youtube already.

Personally I don't even think there was anything new in the episode, most of it is common knowledge in India and the show is geared towards an American audience which might not know the full picture. I guess it's just Hotstar being ultra-safe, which IMO they don't need to be.
His mistake wasn't being a criminal?
I don't disagree, but I think that view is complimentary to regulation being created and discussed and implemented. People see organizations doing bad stuff, create constraints, which a lot of times the organizations welcome since raises the barrier for competitors to entry.
Shopping for auto insurance has been completely useless for me. When I compared across multiple insurance companies, I was able to pick the "lowest cost" provider. However, when I went to sign up, the price offered was completely different from what I saw shopping on their website.

Also, I recently tried to compare my current auto policy with a different insurance provider. The new insurance agent told me my rates would go up with them, so I obviously declined to change my auto insurance.

I understand that periodically shopping for better rates is the logical thing to do, but in my auto insurance shopping experience, the numbers all seem arbitrary so shopping is not useful.
This is nice. The Win95-Vista paint interface was IMO the best and i still dislike using the newer versions, especially since they screw up a lot of common things (e.g. try to draw overlapping rectangles).
Ask HN: Best Resources for Learning IPv6?
What are some good resources for learning IPv6 from (one or both of) a developer perspective as well as system administrator perspective?

What does one need to know when deploying it in production? How do most (or all) of the things I've come to know with IPv4 translate into IPv6?

What do all of the various terms and link-types mean and how do they work?

While I've seen https://ipv6.he.net/certification/ it didn't seem like it gave a solid grounding but was more focused on getting it usable. Perhaps I didn't make it far enough in.
Maybe link the changelog instead? https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.14

Selected changes:

- This release improves the performance of most uses of defer to incur almost zero overhead compared to calling the deferred function directly. As a result, defer can now be used in performance-critical code without overhead concerns.

- Goroutines are now asynchronously preemptible. As a result, loops without function calls no longer potentially deadlock the scheduler or significantly delay garbage collection.

- Per the overlapping interfaces proposal, Go 1.14 now permits embedding of interfaces with overlapping method sets: methods from an embedded interface may have the same names and identical signatures as methods already present in the (embedding) interface. This solves problems that typically (but not exclusively) occur with diamond-shaped embedding graphs. Explicitly declared methods in an interface must remain unique, as before.
I assume you're speaking of the Communist Party of China, and not the Community College of Philadelphia?

Richard Gere has publicly stated that Hollywood extends courtesy censorship for things that may "offend" the ruling government of China. His claim (which I am in no position to validate or invalidate) is that this comes from a combination of Chinese investment in global films, as well as the value of distributing films in China.

He says his own career vanished when he chose to speak out on the subject of Tibet.
In the paper there are some bounds about the number of states in the automata as a function of the length of the input. So one could limit the length of the input when using back references to bound the complexity of the algorithm. They have used their algorithm for snort (network intrusion detection) using asic. The author could contact the authors of the paper and ask for (or pay for) an implementation.

By the way, good work ripgrep and rust.

I had originally assumed this was some sort of webassembly port of the actual Microsoft Paint source code. But it looks like a completely custom JavaScript app built from the ground up to look and work very similarly to Microsoft Paint. That’s actually super impressive, although not quite the technological feat I had originally assumed. It does make this more dubious from a trademark perspective, the author might want to make it more clear it’s not actually Microsoft Paint.

I gotta give it to Signapore Airlines PR machine - they sure manage to get them some good press. Too bad the actual experience flying them is not that exceptional. And don't get me started about their food... Out of 20+ airlines I've flown in the past 5 years, SA's food was by far the worst. I really regretted paying extra to fly with them instead of Qatar (who have excellent food).
No because the length of that field is static. Hashing algorithms (at least the ones you should use) will create a static length hash no matter the size of the password.

The only time length matters is if the hashing algorithm has a limit (which is usually pretty high), or if you're storing these values encrypted/plain text.
It seems reasonable to make a run to Costco or Sams club to load up on dry goods and paper supplies. Better to do so now than after a panic hits. You don't have to go all doomsday prepper and get 10 year shelf life cans of beans. But maybe enough toilet paper, ramen noodles, and bottled water to last through 30 days of not wanting to leave the house much.

Anecdotally, I was in Costco last week and saw a woman shopping directly from a "Disaster Preparedness Checklist". I strongly suspect that there will be a wave of panic shopping in the next few weeks. Better to get after it now. Actually ignore that, wait until I finish shopping then go out.
I have three western citizenships, one is EU, and I live across borders, usually accessing the internet via VPN from China. Google cannot possibly understand this, nor should it try to, rather it should give everyone the best protections guaranteed by law anywhere in the world and only punch holes in it for local regulations in specific jurisdictions where unavoidable. To do anything else (such as profiling for ads) is to be evil.
So take a moment every time you use something and ask yourself - what will I do if I don't have this thing? If there is no good alternative or if the alternatives are unthinkable...Make a list from that. One thing to start with: You are on the toilet and you reach for the TP - there is none...now, add that to your list.
For some reason I don't get creative and productive until the hours I should be sleeping.

Throughout my teens and twenties (I'm in my 40s now) I indulged this tendency and it served me well, often staying up for multiple days without realizing it and the productivity was incredible.

Since then I've become more interested in preserving/improving my health and how such behaviors may be harming it, so I try to keep a regular sleep schedule and it does seem to be better for my general well-being.

The down side is, I am never anywhere near as productive as I've been in the "sleep is for the dead" mode of operating. Occasionally I'll revisit that mode to get something that's been dragging on finished, and it's always incredibly effective.

I wish I understood why long waking hours seem to stimulate my mind and coerce myself into the deep flow state.

Colleagues have recommended I try Adderall in the past to enter that mode at-will with a pill, but I've always been averse to becoming dependent on a pharmaceutical to do something I can already do naturally.

I wonder what's more harmful to self: regular sleep deprivation or consumption of amphetamines in the daytime?

>who don't really stand to gain that much more useful info about you from this than they already have

that is absolutely untrue. Today they only have data for websites already using CloudFlare Services.

DoH they can info on ALL websites users for FF visit. and while their "contract" with mozilla requires they "anonymize" the data, they are admitted to collecting aggregate data which is VERY valuable in itself, plus I never trust companies when they say they will "anonymize" the data

Further I have not see what if any penalties are imposed on cloudfare for any violations of the "contract" they have with Mozilla, if there are no penalties then the contract is pointless and not an assurance of anything

As to why people villify Cloudflare, it is what CloudFlare represents that is a problem for people like me. The Internet is best serviced by decentralization. in the last 10 to 20 years we have seen and continue to see MASSIVE centralization of core infrastructure.

FF move here represents another step on that path. CloudFare already has too much of the net behind their infrastructure.

> If I am an American living in the EU for a few years does the GDPR apply to me when I live there?

I want Amazon and Google to get pushed out of the EU. It'd be hilarious to me, and better for the world writ large. Also, GRPC is a Google framework. Did you mean GDPR?

I think the GDPR is a great thing. I think Google is bad. That doesn't change the fact that Google will continue to make substantially more money off of the EU than the measly fines they've been given by the EU so far: there's no incentive for them to be a good actor. They've been fined barely a few billion in fines, despite repeatedly violating the GDPR.

I want the EU to start migrating their countries away from Google, but instead they're depending on it more and more and giving it slaps on the wrist whenever they do something bad that they admit to.
