I hate to actually don a tin foil hat given the title of this particular HN submission, but is it not possible that this is all by design?

I mean, aren't politicians the ones who are, at once, in charge of making sure that organization is effective, and at the same time beneficiaries of any ineffectiveness in that same organization? So if it's effectiveness has been eroded over the past, say 20 or 30 years, and it has, obviously the politicians benefit. Or more precisely, the various political machines these politicians and campaigns are a part of benefit.

I notice that the status.robinhood.com page has changed as well. Yesterday there was a note about the source of the issue being identified. That is now gone.
Even more interesting is, that the research I shared claims 'just type-out a transcript and don't try to summarize/structure your notes' is better than 'by hand, and summarize' ... but both agree writing by hand forces you to have more structure and summaries in your notes :-)
The DJIA is not as good a metric compared to say, S&P500. It considers a 1$ move in any of the constituents in the same manner, so a stock worth 200$ moving up by 1$ is given the same importance in terms of points change in the index value as a stock worth 2$ moving up by 1$ (whereas fundamentally speaking, the second movement is far more interesting than the first).
Climate Change is doing just fine with us doing no work, notice the recent news about the satellite-detectable pollution levels in China being at lows not seen in a long while. Of course, that means us not being as product- and services-rich as we are right now (farewell to cheap airplane rides, disposable clothes and easily replaceable electronics) but at the end of the day something will have to give.
A bit OT, but the World Figure Skating Championships are being held in Montreal at about the exact same time as SXSW is suppose to be held(a couple weeks in mid-March). Which is fine by me. They're taking a lot of precautions but a lot of these people who attend these events come from east-asian countries... especially Japan. And they don't offer refunds on tickets which I think could result in quite a few people attending because of the "sunk cost" mentality that they don't want to lose what they paid for.

Governments are extremely reluctant to restrict travel and thus event organizers too are reluctant to do much more if it affects how much money they make.

I live nowhere near Montreal, but if I did I would lobby the local governments to see what can be done to reduce travel from the most affected countries.
The fed's target is 2% inflation, not stability of the inflation rate. You could say the relative stability of the value of money is a goal
For the algotraders out there, figured their status page could be an interesting indicator:

Wrong. The Fed has a dual mandate, they have to keep inflation and unemployment stable. Recessions are bad for employment, it turns out.
Although perhaps it sounds like this didn't happen four years ago after all if you read the comments further down:

"March 2nd 2016 was on a Tuesday though. Wouldn't this have happened on March 1st 2016 if this was the case?"

"It would have. Notice how none of the replies 4 years ago mention anything about a leap year."

If an order isn't filled at a price at which I find reasonable, that is okay with me. A market order will fill at any price. I learned that lesson the day that a market order of mine filled at a price I deemed unreasonable.

The key to avoiding faffing around with limit orders not filling when you want immediate execution is to place a reasonable limit that accounts for the day's volatility. At other times, I'll place a limit order and let it stand for weeks. When it fills, the counterparty and I are both happy.

This is the reason why more than a 10% drop or so (assuming this doesn't chain-cause a recession) isn't justified. That doesn't mean stock prices aren't permanently lower.

This whole discussion lacks context to the nature of the requests, aka a front end code review.
To some degree it reminds me of a change in Haskell that came about a few years back. It used to be the case that many of the basic functions operated on things like lists and functions. Tricky to learn but not too bad. It got annoying when you wanted to use those tools on generalizations of lists, so the language changed. Now those standard library functions operate on things like the Foldable type class which is must follow some laws defined in terms of endomorphisms. So simple functions like “any” or “concat” which used to operate on lists and be super newbie friendly still can operate on lists in the same way, but now do lots more, at the expense of the newbies (and complexity).

I think the change was jokingly called “pulling up the ladder behind us.”

It's worth noting here that The Wealth of Nations was published in 1776.

Perhaps the people who drafted the US Constitution would have had a chance to read Smith by 1787, but I can't imagine they would have really had a chance to fully digest and internalize the ideas being presented. They were almost certainly working from a firmly mercantilist mindset.
> Having a profit motive is only a serious problem when there is insufficient competition. Otherwise companies that try to make outlandish profits would lose business to companies that offer better coverage for lower premiums by taking smaller profits.

This works in an idealized free market.

Health care is, for a variety of reasons, fundamentally incompatible with this, even if the powerful and wealthy interests within it are not actively working to destroy some of the basic premises of a free market (like equal information).
Upsides: more secure (in X.org every client can read every other client's keystrokes, pointer position, and do screen grabs), generally smoother rendering, better support for mixed-DPI setups.

Current downsides: worse support for screen recording/sharing (e.g. not supported in Skype), a bug in the compositor (e.g. GNOME Mutter) can bring your whole session down, not-as-good NVIDIA support (also depending on the compositor).

I have been using Wayland for two years or so an wouldn't want to go back. I do miss wide screen sharing support, because I am working remotely and Skype is the primary means of communication.

I've never felt the need to justify my own existence. There's always been a longer backlog of work than my teams would ever get through and managers who appreciated the work getting done.

Another plausible explanation is lack of code re-use and reinventing the wheel because you don't know someone else solved the same problem. Also correlates with number of engineers.
This might be a case of excessively binary thinking? Stocking up on things you normally use is not panic buying, it's a sensible no-regrets precaution. But it tends to get called "hoarding" anyway.

Buying stuff you don't normally use can also be sensible. Consider putting together an earthquake kit in California. Unfortunately, having a pandemic kit ready isn't something most people do, but maybe it should be?

There probably are some kinds of preparation that are sensible and others that aren't, and we should try to figure out the difference.

I'm also wondering if there might be an untapped market to help people be prepared without keeping a lot of inventory themselves? Usually there is advance notice for a pandemic so you just want some assurance that someone can ship you something when it's time. This would avoid shortages by making it profitable to keep inventory.

What does SXSW even do for the tech industry? Is it just advertising for companies and people peddling themselves as influencers?
Do they? I mean, technically the US gov't leases a ton of desktops (not great for scientific/technical computing), and they own a few supercomputers for specific needs (national defense, weather), but mostly they fund modest computational centers in academic environments. Before cloud, I worked in grid, and grids strapped together the many academic and government clusters, mainly for embarassingly parallel workloads.

I don't think the government has shown itself to be a particularly skilled operator of large computing environments compared to the large cloud providers.
Show HN: Tiny webapp built with ClojureScript for reading HN
I think that this 'pre-wire' concept is one that humans abhor on some level because it reduces the feeling of autonomy (or free will). But we are biased against it to our peril. When we look around the animal kingdom, we are bombarded with examples of how other animals are born knowing how to walk, or even weave spider webs.

Why would humans be any different? We are most likely pre-wired with pathways that facilitate learning in specific ways that enable our brains to develop specific skills, such as speech. Although, it would be pretty great if we could pre-wire ourselves to know how to use a toilet.
This cool. This kind of carbon removal is still very expensive.

It's worth pointing out the misrepresentation of "NotPetya, a particularly nasty strain of ransomware, tore through its networks, encrypting and locking up everything in its path before showing messages demanding a ransom of $300 per device" - unlike the earlier Petya, NotPetya was never intended to collect a ransom, it was purely destructive malware intentionally modified so that it would be impossible to recover the devices for a ransom. It did display a $300 dollar message for the purposes of masquerade, but it was a weapon to disrupt Ukrainian economy (released by a watering-hole attack to all companies using a particular accounting tool aiding Ukraine tax filing, including multinationals like Maersk), not simply a cybercrime "business tool".
(I was also there, had a great time as usual).

PAX East basically only happened IMO because it was already in motion by the time the COVID-19 concerns really blew up. Ironically, the early date that no one was happy with probably saved the convention.

If it was being held even this week, much less in a few weeks like GDC was supposed to be, I'd expect widespread exhibitor cancellations and likely event cancellation.
I think you misunderstood what I was saying - I was expecting that this post would mean that GCC would stop working, or no longer be available, for me as a user. The point is that even for a FreeBSD user - albeit a new one - the title here is unclear on what "removed GCC" means.
Could be humble. Or could be like me and have a severe inferiority complex, mostly from the constant flexing of recent CS grads always makes you feel like you really don't know what you're doing.

This is a problem that the Fed created for itself. In the 20th century, a recession was a normal thing to be expected, even textbooks said this. It seems now that we have a whole generation that is afraid of going through a recession and apparently will do almost anything to avoid one. The Fed created this problem by manipulating the markets to avoid recessions when they should be occurring. Now it seems that the only thing guaranteed is that the country will burst when the next inevitable one happens.
What you're talking about is government spending crowding out private spending, which is what happens when the economy is already at full capacity. In this situation, all the spending does is cause inflation, since money alone does not cause goods to spring into existence. It's like pushing on a string.

But are we close to full capacity?

That's a big wall of text, with some nice ideas about how efficient markets are the solution to the problem, but you fail to realize that the US has a sub-par medical system (life expectancy is lagging quite far from most European countries) while being twice as costly as the OECD mean per capita.

Moral of the story: do not buy NVIDIA, except if you need it for e.g. CUDA.

My previous machine had an NVIDIA GPU and despite all the great work, nouveau was almost unworkably buggy. The proprietary NVIDIA drivers did not work with Wayland at all. I bought an AMD card, Wayland worked with open source drivers and everything was butter-smooth.

I now use a NUC with an Intel GPU. Similarly to ADM GPUs, it works great with open source drivers.
This abrupt move by the Fed betrays lack of knowledge of stock market psychology. Looking at how stocks are doing today you would not think that anything of interest has happened (no pun intended).

The stock market psychology works on "buy on rumor, sell on news" principle. This is the reason there was a significant rally yesterday, and stocks are in negative territory today.

What the Fed should have done is give signals that they are about to cut interest rates, then give stronger signals, then even stronger signals, then cut interest rate by 0.25% then repeat for the next 0.25%. Markets would have rallied multiple times for each good news signal.

But again that's a very naive view of the thing. Just as a reminder: people are dying right now because they can't afford insulin to treat their diabetes in the USA, and you hypothesise that the treatment to cure ageing would be free.

We could stop world hunger and cure most diseases in developing countries right now if we didn't spend our money on useless things, but we don't. You're far too optimistic.

> Eliminating aging and most disease would improve the average quality of life far more than probably anything else we could possibly do within the same time span.

Not working 60% of you awake time from 20 to 65 would probably have a bigger impact on your quality of life than working 60% of your awake time from 20 to 165. Heck, universal healthcare in the US would have a bigger impact on Americans' quality of life than living 100 years more, and it would be faaaar easier to get.

There are many ways to install third-party software. Some are harder: download source and build from it yourself (while handling any cross-platform issues, etc). Some are easier: just install from an OS supplied package. The latter still works for GCC on FreeBSD.
Wayland has a lot of problems, but they're adoption problems.

1) Wayland isn't a replacement for all of X.org. It's a replacement for much of X11, the protocol. "Wayland is just a protocol" - there's no wayland binary on your computer like there is an xorg binary. All the problems/limitations people commonly perceive with Wayland are actually problems/limitations within Wayland implementations like Mutter (Gnome) or KWin (KDE) and lacking application support. There's really not that much that "Wayland" as a project could deliver as it's just a protocol [1]!

2) Replacing something like your entire graphics stack requires a widespread, coordinated effort to unify the various Linux distro's under it. That widespread coordinated effort is not actually possible in the (by "design") extremely fragmented Linux market. The only approach is to slowly let Wayland implementations evolve, and there we have it.

Hot take: Wayland will not fully replace X11 the coming 10 years. There is no fundamental solution to the two problems above. Many popular desktops (Xfce, Cinnamon) have no plan to support Wayland at all. Some don't even want to. In the future, there will be choices for graphics stacks on Linux leading to further fragmentation.

[1]: The projects that should deliver here are: Gnome, KDE, other open source desktops. Although I think using Gnome with Wayland is superior in many ways to X11, it still has certain quite major shortcomings. It's also application toolkits: Qt and Gtk work luckily, but Electron is waiting for some Chrome renovations before supporting Wayland, and then there's stuff like Wine and Java where the refactor/reward balance simply doesn't favor them. And sometimes applications have to be updated to stop relying on using hardcoded X11 stuff, and use agnostic Gtk/Qt/Freedesktop functionality.

There's a lot of history with X11 that we have to move away from, and the incentives and coordination only allow for slow movement.
