My guess would be: lack of domestic capability as all manufacturing was shifted to China.
HN contains many obvious example of clan behavior. New Urbanism, bicycling, cooking for yourself instead of eating restaurant food every meal, Trump derangement syndrome, Brexit is going to cause the collapse of civilization, all strictly enforced groupthink on HN.

It never fails to amaze me how we (as a group) can have a free and open discussion of microcontroller RTOS options, but god help someone who has the wrong opinion about bicycling the groupthink will incinerate them.

Free to have any opinion here about tech things, but the counter reaction to that is no freedom at all about non-tech related opinions.
Thanks for clarifying and for adding more info.
In Rust, this is how “ownership” works. Once a variable is moved to a new scope, ownership moves with it, which means that it cannot be used in the current scope anymore.
Yeah I don't see it as competing with other "wholesome" activities (cigars?!), just: don't beat yourself up for enjoying a bit of low-effort, passive entertainment!

Personally I find decent TV shows a great way to unwind after a busy day, but of course YMMV.
This still wont solve for lazy loading data on scroll, which is actually how its supposed to be done, to reduce load time, and dom draw together.
> at least not in a single threaded context.

That's the beauty of Rust: it assumes single-threaded programs don't exist.

All types — including all 3rd party libraries — are forced to be either thread-safe or explicitly not compile if they'd cross thread boundaries. Nobody has "but I don't support multi threaded programs" excuse, so you may as well throw multithreading at everything.
It actually isn’t. 400 IU is based on preventing disease. To obtain optimal health though, dosages should usually be much higher. Obviously this differs from person to person, but 2000 IU should lead to optimal vitamin D levels. This is an interesting video on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeLC_b5gDUM
Twitter seems to have the back thing down somehow. I don't know how it works (my best guess is making a <div style=height:scrollTop-200px> and only loading a few tweets around the scroll position and making that work with bfcache) but so it is apparently possible to make that work fine.

Linking to things in the middle of a page was solved in the 90s with the hash part of the URL. Aside from legal terms or privacy policies, I haven't yet seen a site with excessively tall pages that don't have some mechanism (hash part or direct linking an entry) of linking to in-the-middle content.

Most sites with infinite scroll don't have a footer, though I have seen a few. Inspect element works well enough there imo, if you're tech savvy of course.
It's very common in some countries, here in Switzerland I could literally reduce my work hours to 90 or 80% with a couple clicks on the company HR portal, and even further down with approval from my manager.

But even in the US, I know people at big companies that take one or two months of unpaid leave. Would it be a problem to take every Friday off as unpaid leave?
Too much is when a stock market crash causes a depression ;-). Money can literally disappear. Especially when large investors are pension funds and insurance companies, there could be pretty massive damage if the stockmarket loses a significant portion of its value due to unrealistic expectations and extremely high risk speculation. Like I said, I don't care if an individual investor loses their shirt. I'm worried about the trend for the market as a whole to consider an IPO like zoom to be on the low end of their expectations.
Well, drivers will benefit if traffic starts moving.

> It's worth noting that haveibeenpwned's API has a really clever design for allowing people to look up their passwords without transmitting them to the site.

If you use the API to look up one of you passwords and it turns out to be pretty poor, then the service knows you're highly likely to have been looking up the top (by count) result, so now has the password and your IP address. I appreciate this service provider is well respected, but still, this is also worth noting.
You mean as described in, and entirely consistent with the CDC summary?
> Flu is still a far bigger health concern but virtually everyone shrugs it off as a fact of life.

Because it has been a fact of life for the entirety of everyone living's life.

nCoV is a new threat that can kill, of course people will worry about it, it's instinctual.

We also don't have a vaccine for it yet, and an estimated 30% of infected people need hospital treatment, which is surely more than the usual flu, and requires more specialised & cautious care since less about it's known.

As the US' CDC says in the other nCoV post on the home page:

> The complete clinical picture with regard to COVID-19 is not fully understood.

It might just blow over and be fine, sure, but I don't think the response or caution surrounding it is irrational.
You can allow for conceptual twoness but both have to exist within the same space. Space itself is said to pervade the sheet, the dot, the pencil, etc. So if you take one more step back from space, then you say, in which common substratum do space, time, constraints, etc exist? What pervades these like space pervades the sheet and dot?

A panpsychist would say whatever this is, it must contain the most fundamental building blocks from which we derive conscious experience. But you don't have to go that far, you just have to sit still and inquire into that original zero point that allows for your own individual (seemingly dualistic) subject experience.

You could make an analogy (this is borrowed from Advaita): yes there are many waves on an ocean, but the ocean itself is one. Conceptually there are many waves but in reality there isn't anything such as a wave.

Similarly your own bubble of conscious experience is tied to local instrumentation (your eyes, your brain, etc). But like bubbles in a basin of soapy water, it's really not substantially apart.

If you think of matter probabilistically, you realize the best analog is just "information" — every experience of this information arises from something. Of course twoness in this information is a matter of fact, but it's easy enough to say yes, these are abstractions of One. Or these are abstractions of Zero.

It's just a matter of language and what you prescribe to reality or what you prescribe to conceptual illusion.
First two are somewhat easily solve-able, yet it involves JavaScript.

Sadly, most devs know how to implement an infinite scroll, but lack the skill to implement it properly.

Footer — there should be none on an infinitely-scrolled page, but that depends on the layout.

> it is important to note that current global circumstances suggest it is likely that this virus will cause a pandemic.

CDC really isn’t mincing words - this is going to be bad and we should start social distancing to slow the spread.

I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Types and Tests
This is what pisses me off about using Facebook.

I just want status updates and photos from my friends. If I could literally mute all shared content (memes, twitter dunk screenshots and "shares") it would be a much nicer platform to use, but from Facebook's perspective this would be awful because I would be on and off the site in a few minutes.

It turns out I really just wanted MySpace with photo albums.
Well for one, they rely on figures from Chinese reporting, which I assume you wouldn't trust. These are propaganda articles for domestic consumption after all, and according CCP propaganda logic, would be over inflated to look good. Many of the transfers in the appendix do not mention prisoners or transfers in the re-education camps, merely people were given jobs as part of poverty alleviation program with much higher wages in exchange for brainwashing on the side - i.e. they're migrant labors. There's always been huge migrant worker movement in China from to industrial and manufacturing cities where pay is higher and for Uygher workers general mistreatment due to cultural differences, Shaoguan factory riot was what sparked the 2009 Urumqi riots that caused the crackdown in the first place. I'm sure there's coercive assignments going on, but the paper seems to conflate all sources as so. And ultimately they crawled through Chinese news sources and found a pool of 80,000 workers over 2 years of which some could have came directly from the camps. That's 0.03% of Chinese migrant working labour force, 0.07% of Chinese manufacturing force - aka rounding error, but somehow this small percentage, where an even smaller % is alleged coerced, tainted the supply chain of 87 of the largest western companies because this is definitely not spinning a relatively minor issue into the western companies should disengage with China narrative. If anything this report illuminates that the "vocational" training element of the entire XJ strategy barely exists, and the question is why? Because of all the heavy handed cultural genocide strategies employed in XJ right now, indoctrination through economic development is the least bad.
Sometimes, it's good to be an introvert.
This is a real interesting rant. I've definitely had this problem and wondered about the benefits of infinite scroll at those times. Also bad UX design.

I can't offer anything besides the fact that I love my mouse which has this free roll toggle button. When I press that I can roll the wheel really fast and long without anything slowing it down.

But it's sad that certain websites force users to such measures.
Sounds like we are in agreement. And yes there's a world of difference between world-class TV drama and the dross that fills much of the airwaves that frankly perhaps should come with some sort of health warning...
Can YouTube Quiet Its Conspiracy Theorists?
This might be a little reactionary to say, but I think constraints breed creativity. I have noticed there's kinda a line in the sand temporally where not just game music but most music exhibits a cambrian explosion in quantity but not necessarily differentiation. I may have posted this [1] before but I think it's a great read, and you can likely see parallels between the points it makes in pop music as in VGM.

For reddit specifically, the answer seems to be to use "old.reddit.com" instead of "www.reddit.com".

The is no general solution. Infinite scroll style web apps are implementing their own content view, in essence a web browser inside a web browser. It will never behave as users expect.
the data posted to the CDC website seems all over the place. e.g. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-in-us.html

right above the table the report says:

Updated February 29, 2020

Looking at their editing history on archive you can see how their numbers evolved over time: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.cdc.gov/coronaviru...

updating sites without linking to versioned data doesn't give a lot of confidence, but then it's hard to blame them considering Trump admin slashed their budget in 2018.
In that case that would make sense. From the other post on that website, it seems clear that the author is too knowledgeable to make that kind of mistake.
yup. its a big red error message for me too.

Well, Mozilla is in a hard place. They're already losing browser marketshare, and they don't want to annoy people by breaking stuff. A lot of these people use Google and Facebook services and don't understand when these sites get broken. That'll give Firefox a bad name and hurt its marketshare even more.

uBlock origin is a third-party project they don't control so I can't blame them for not including it.

I agree about the analytics and telemetry though.
I find it interesting to compare what's CDC is doing right now ( messed up tests, not enough testing, protecting markets but not people) to what we can see CDC doing in movies like Contagion where they are on top of everything before anyone else even knows that the there is a new virus in the wild.
That comment is somewhat disingenuous. It is like saying that Rust is an unsafe language, because of 'unsafe' or the mere fact that you can just use stringly types for everything.

Both using 'unsafe' and using String instead of an Enum would compile without runtime guarantees. But such code would stick out.
And now I have to question the accuracy of the reports by a government agency that is under a constant threat of job termination if it does not comply with misleading the public..
WRT your edit:

#[lang = "unsafe_cell"]

This tells you that UnsafeCell is a Language Item[1], which basically means that the compiler does have knowledge of it.

There is science around this though. If you take a vitamin D blood test that shows low levels a doctor will prescribe a certain dose. Vitamin D is scientifically known to be important for humans, it's not just my opinion.
That's what I used to do but sites like Twitter unload content to not make your browser tab super slow (which is a good thing in general), which breaks ctrl+f.
That's the thing - the commenter doesn't even bother to distinguish between current and future risk. Let alone the risk to someone living in a major, congested, filthy city v. in a shack on a mountaintop somewhere.

So there's not much we do with their prognosis.
I remember reading about this here, and I did take alook at the project, but maybe I missed something major.

I genuinely didnt see the big appeal, especially at the 149$ price range etc. Just didn't scream to me.

Call me silly but I am extremely certain Facebook is not exactly struggling to attract tech talent to the point that they'd build, test and deploy non-trivial features just to do so.
> Current estimates of the incubation period range from 1 to 14 days with a median of 5 to 6 days, although recent case reports suggest that the incubation period may be as long as 24 days, which is longer than the 14 days that WHO and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have been using to inform quarantine policies.

I'm not sure what exactly you're looking for. Dealing with large amounts (by some definition) of training data is at the heart of the "whole process", so I'm not sure what you could learn without that element.

One of the simpler data sets available is the MNIST set of labelled hand-written digits. These days it should be easy to build and train a 3-layer NN for classifying those images.

Gerbil Scheme allowed me to be productive in Scheme. It really is a treat to work with. No tooling required other than compiling Gambit, Gerbil and having a text editor. Those three things let you ship fast binaries, with static or shared libraries. Couple that with a nice macro system (a la Racket) and you can get going really fast.
Correct. What we know so far is 80% of those infected show mild to no symptoms. 20% of those infected require hospitalization. Of that 20%, roughly 15% perish. The problem is we can't tell who that 15% are. So we treat everybody equally. To your point, IF there were a massive outbreak in the United States far more than 3% would be expected to die due to our medical resources being depleted. This is one of the reasons the flu of 1918 was so deadly - medical resources were depleted. There's a good documentary about it (the 1918 flu) on Netflix.
This is plain ridiculous. It's like the US is 50 years late on social/health/worker conditions. Mandatory paid sick leave sounds like a win/win thing no matter how you look at it.

The article doesn't say anywhere that Gandalf is an elf. It only claims that the people who initially called him Gandalf thought he was an elf.
Yeah, but your current judgment of what would have been better is tainted by the fact that you spent a lot of time on IRC, so can you really trust it?
I don't know where you live but here in UK if you ring 111 and say you suspect you might have the virus they will send someone to drop a testing kit through your letterbox and take it back for testing. No need to go anywhere.

The railroad provided wheels. Every station had a large cart. Unload your trunk from the carriage to cart, then push the cart up to the train, then load onto the train where it was stacked. Nobody had to personally handle their luggage much, and they also typically carried a larger volume of stuff. As such built in wheels wouldn't have been desired for rail road travel as there already was wheels available when you needed them.
I had a genetic test done (not 23andme or other retail genetic tests) and it turns out I have genes that essentially cause me to have low absorption for vitamins d, b6 and b12 and vitamin e. According to my bloodwork I also had extremely low Vit d in the blood (way below average). I started megadosing and honestly I feel like a different person, when I got a cold before it would last for 7 days, and twice it led to bronchitis and then pneumonia this year since megadosing I’ve had two colds and both lasted no more than 2 days. So I’m not superman, I still get sick but the severity of the colds have been significantly lower than before megadosing.

Yeah, any assertion that Gandalf and his peers are elves is just bizarrely wrong and makes clear the author basically hasn't done the reading.
The arrogance here seems to be from misjudging the difficulty of the question.

I see it as coming from a mindset that says it's OK to pull some "nifty" problem out of his head at the last minute -- in this case, literally between lathering his toe jam and rinsing his buttcrack -- and feed it to candidates without having it properly vetted first.

Or even, for that matter, sitting down and thinking about it for a couple of seconds. To me at least -- right off the bat, the core assumption they made about this problem was highly suspect, just from the fundamentals.

In short - they didn't just make a mistake; they were throwing caution to the wind. On the basis of an apparent view that candidates are a dime a bushel, and their time is more or less infinitely expendable.

That is - the mindset that so many companies following the current penchant for on-the-spot technical interviewing seem deeply beholden to.

> My assumptions are indeed, given the body of data we have gathered so far, that what lies ahead will fit into what we already know - as opposed to being something extraordinary that invalidates most of our current understanding.

Would this describe the world of physics prior to Einstein and Quantum Mechanics? I'm not a physicist, but my impressions is that it absolutely was "something extraordinary that invalidates most of our current understanding."

> Whenever there are unknowns in our scientific understanding (and I'm sure we'll have more than enough of those for aeons to come), it has so far not been fruitful to offer magical external influences as the explanation.

Sure, offering magical solutions is not any better, and explanations based on current scientific understanding are likely more correct than magical explanation, but - that doesn't mean that the scientific explanation is the truth, but rather that it's simply a more useful theory.

This is also not mentioning the problem of induction, which is an entirely different and deeper conversation.

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/induction-problem/

> By contrast I am making the claim that whatever gaps we have in our theory about minds will eventually turn out to be an extension of what we already know, as opposed to some revolutionary but as of yet unseen aspect of the universe. My claim is small, yours is quite large and also seems vague to me.

Again, the history of science would show otherwise. Did anyone in 1800 predict quantum mechanics? It seems naive to assume that science will never upend our fundamental view of the world.

My claim is simply that of the scientific method itself: observational knowledge is useful for constructing our current best view of the world, but it is simply that: our current best. Extrapolating that into statements about reality itself is a non-scientific act and is only common because agnosticism is such a nebulous difficult position for humans to hold.
