It's because they are dealing with different things. In math, things are immutable, so you either "compare all fields" for the most fine-grained equality, or a more "coarse" equality that is compatible in the sense that if two things are "finely equal", they are implied to be "coarsely equal".

In programming, on the other hand, you have variables that change their value over time. Many, many problems with equality have to do with how they interact with time and change.

Those languages that stay away from (implicit) time and change, such as Haskell, don't have the same problems with equality. They do have other problems with equality being undecidable, which results in some types not being able to derive equality (especially functions, since automatically derived equality would mean to solve the halting problem).
To my understanding now there is little hope to "stop" the virus in geographical terms; to avoid collapse it would be enough for it to spread slow enough.

Not sure why that matters.

We definitely want to improve ICE engines too.

With any new technology, the real trick is to produce a marketable product then keep iterating, with customers providing the revenue.

Big LCD TV’s, for example, used to cost over $10,000.

Now that Tesla has proven the product, we are now getting a battery arms race...

Anyway, this is all well known about how technology works... Apple I to iPhone...

I still don’t understand what the numbers in column y mean. I understand column z and that’s also what grade up is returning in John Earnest’s oK:

x:“baced“
<x
1 0 2 4 3
<<x
1 0 2 4 3

That is, for example, when sorting, the item at position 1 in the original string (“a”) moves to position 0 (the beginning of the sorted string). So in the end you get “abcde”.

What does column y mean? If I sort the original with it, I get “wllaysysce”.

Has this changed between versions of K?

It might actually be good. Companies need more funds not so much because they need it to live, but because they want to outpace the competition. As one mid stage VC put it, "There's war and we sell the bullets."

Startups have developed a bad habit of overspending (at least in Asia) where they're offering unsustainable discounts, playing bait and switch, swarming competitors with false reviews and calls, or things like buying phones and offering generous contracts for partners, who quit their job, and then find that the startup is not so generous 3 years later.

> If the company wants to demand a certain set of hours of the day (not just an aggregate of hours during a work period), then the person doing the work is not a "contractor". Contractors are supposed to be able to make their own hours and find any number of clients they wish to fill their time.

This is not true in general; for example, security guards can have contractor status while obviously still being required to show up during their shift and not someone else's shift.
Well,

The only thing that be called reasonable statistic is the number of deaths and that hasn't spiked - I hate to say - yet. It's possible hospitals are even missing those, it's a big country. And it's a dispersed country so things might not spread as quickly.

But other, what you say. Stopping large public events and doing mass testing seems crucial. South Korea seems to have gotten a handle on their infection process at the moment things are out-of-hand in Italy. South Korea has done mass testing for a while.

That's why I take all alternatives to Google and Facebook with a grain of salt. Their UVP is to be less evil than the near-monopolies they try to compete with. But they need to make money somehow!

The current "common knowledge" is that if they don't profile people, they can't be efficient. That's very wrong. There are many ways to deliver ads to people that might be interested in them without profiling individuals. But the market is too inert, and people too hooked to FB and Google already.
No, panic is making it much more difficult to implement counter measures. It also takes away crucial man power from fighting the disease to fighting the panic. And finally, panic makes it harder for health care professionals to actually care for patients.

So no, panic never helps. Staying calm and level headed does.

But if you want to panic, do it. But do it in private, panic itself is rather contagious as well. Maybe self-quarantine.

Well, the tone has a lot to do with the business model of the websites that publish them which is to get people to click on their article and see the ads. There's more than a bit of irony in here; but it's on the front page of HN so they did that right (from the point of view of reaching their target audience).

Things that stand out to me is the use of the word "we" in the title creating an artificial us and them of of people like "us" who are clued in enough to be reading this bit of wisdom on their website.

In reality, this is a piece cliche laden drivel that brings us nothing new, novel, or remotely insightful and rehashes the same things that people have been writing for years. It's true clickbait; no redeaming features. It's light reading for designed to trigger emotions in a particular crowd with reasonable and irrational concerns about having their freedoms infringed by "surveillance capitalism".

My view is very simple: we are enjoying a brief period of time where the technical capabilities still have enough wiggle room that we can sometimes be un-monitored. Enjoy it while it lasts. But given that we all carry phones that have their microphones turned on just so it can respond to "Alexa", "Siri", or "Hey Google" for the last few years means that it's quite hard to be out of reach from several active microphones; no matter how many things you opt out off (unless that includes having a social life). Much of our public space is monitored by surveillance cameras. Our phones also report our location (via cell towers) every second they are connected to a network. Etc. We emit so many signals continuously that are tracking us that the only thing limiting surveillance is our ability to connect the dots. Which is an ability we now know for sure that the NSA has been investing in as fast as nearly unlimited government funding allows (courtesy of Snowden, Assange, and other people risking everything to report on this).

Right now it's easy to track large groups of people but tracking the entire population is still a bit controversial though that's probably been happening covertly in some places and a bit more openly in China. And of course there's no good reason to assume they are limiting their tracking to China. They have a long track record of industrial espionage, just saying.
> so these right-wingers were left with egg on their faces

You could say the same of the left-wing, that promoted for weeks a reckless attitude, pushing the message that we just needed to do business as usual, and to "overcome the fear".

The secretary of the most prominent left-wing party, Zingaretti is now infected. About two weeks ago was posting picture of him drinking at a bar with other people. On top of the picture he wrote: "Our slogan is: normality. [...] Our economy is stronger than fear: let's go out and drink an aperitif, a coffee or have a pizza".

While I wish him a speedy recovery, it's undeniable the left wing downplayed the risks.
Any non free software tool (or open source), USA on Chinese, would be a risk, no?
The point I was raising was that calls to not panic suppress non-panic activities. They are sending the message that there's nothing much to worry about. This is extraordinarily dangerous. If necessary precautions will also cause some to panic, so be it.

At this point, things are so looking so grim that there's no way to tell people not to panic without unacceptable downplaying of the gravity of the situation.
It used to be a little more common that in representative democracies, the representatives were actually competent elites.
It is theorized that Venus once had an Earth like atmosphere. Venus has virtually no magnetic field unlike Earth. Without the protection of something like the Van Allen radiation belt the Sun would have easily blown off any thin high density atmosphere and eventually cook off any surface level hydrocarbons into a thick hazy atmosphere with a super greenhouse effect. Any terraforming effort would have to take that into account and capture atmospheric sulfur.

I'm taking a break from work related stuff. I'm focusing internally, build up my willpower, build up spiritually, build up my physical body. It's the year to kill bad habits and start new ones.

This type of attitude suggests all criticism is bad which I believe is not true at all. No serious writer would hold science back because of a probable debate in some random internet forum. Otherwise, they don't understand how science works.

The discussion in this comment section (for this post) is so far friendly. The author is kindly giving up personal time to engage with the readers. There are even people who posted real code pieces to elaborate the topic for people who had hard time to follow. If this is not HN at its best, I don't know what is.
I think a lot of the long tail of open source projects are like this, the small treams and solo-contributors. Or at least that is what they put front-and-center. I know I've been guilty of doing it myself. "Our software is better because it's not made by Evilbook Partners, LTD".

The natural, default position is to think everyone else thinks like you do. So if you present a solution to a problem, they should value it the same way you do. "I wrote this because I didn't want to do X". But it seems to turn out that most people don't care about your specific X.

My last, big attempt at FOSS didn't start that way. When I first started the project, it was the only such project available. But a household-name corp started their own, competing project a year later and all I was left with was (other than a much more complete implementation) some proselytizing about the open web. But none of it could compete with them funding developers out of pocket--while I scraped together contact jobs--to go out and implement their library for other people's projects, write more blog posts than I have hours in a day, and generally just fill the space with "look at us, we're the only dog in town" fake news.

I knew their project was nowhere near as complete or easy to use as mine. But I never put the time into expressing that. Well, for one thing they were playing the "we're all one, big, happy community of niche-industry devs" card, so it was impossible to say anything that could at all be considered negative towards them. But I had so much code to write, and code is a lot easier to me than marketing. It would have taken me becoming an expert in their project, when they had no such burden with regards to mine.

I let myself get pushed into taking about my project in terms of theirs. Hell, some people even accused me if "wasting time, reinventing the wheel" (to this day, no phrase pisses me off more).

Now, I'm just trying to write software for myself. That's all I was ever really doing. The FOSS stuff had no plan, it was just "here's some code, maybe other people will find it useful". While that is often the ur-myth of FOSS, if it were ever true, is just not how projects grow today.
> You speak as though programmers scampering off for library functions to do everything is a bad thing. I consider it a wonderful thing.

No, that's not what they are saying.

They're just saying that to blame the representation for user mistakes and then present an alternative representation where user mistakes are prevented by library functions is comparing apples to oranges.

I think this will definitely happen, as supplies of classic ATX PSUs start to dry up, and people need to keep powering their old machines. This situation already exists for old AT style vintage machines, being powered by ATX PSUs.
I meant general practice done legally, e.g. stating this in their policy and showing when you run the app for the first time that it will sell their not personal data in exchange for free service.

The concept is fair as some are willing to pay with money, some are ok to pay with their data. Hiding the fact that you will sell data obviously deserves the punishment.
you get the last 10% by running a calculation for that (which itself is not necessarily accurate...). The whole situation is a little bit like Plato's cave... And also from what I've seen so far, those models either are 90% there or they are overfitting like hell.

Also, the Red Army liberated the northernmost part of Norway (Which, incidentally, also is the easternmost - the town of Kirkenes lies to the east of Istanbul) in the autumn of 1944; they quietly left in the autumn of 1945.

From what I've been told by my grandmother, who along with a lot of other locals had dodged the forced evacuation ordered by the retreating Germans and hid for weeks in mines outside the town, cooperation with the Red Army was excellent, with very little friction - to the extent that when rebuilding of Finnmark started (the retreating Germans having blown up everything they couldn't burn!), some construction materials were shipped in from the Soviet Union, which presumably had enough rebuilding to do on their own turf...
A lot of people confuse 'Scandinavian' with 'Nordic'. Scandinavia is a geographical description, Nordic is more cultural, which includes Scandinavia, Finland and Iceland.
> I was still struck by the brazenness of advertising something whose ethical dubiousness has been so thoroughly publicized.

I actually don't entirely see the problem here. I mean taking money from Scientologists to fund services I use (I don't use facebook, but hypothetically if I did ...) is a good thing in my view.

I guess you are worried that people will convert to Scientology, but really if the only thing that is keeping people from being Scientologists is not knowing about it then I think the problem is in no way related to Scientology.

The real issue then is that large swathes of society have been advocating for completely abandoning any sense of objective values while they loudly shout value judgements at the top of their lungs like petulant children with no sense of propriety having temper tantrums.

Blocking Scientology ads won't change that. You can't fix a problem not caused by the visibility of Scientology adds by changing the visibility of Scientology ads.

GPU programs run fast exactly because programs are written with these limitations in mind. GPUs trade stuff like branch prediction for data parallelism. You can't just have both on the same die and achieve the same throughput.

Using dynamic memory liberally, having lots of indirect branches and non-local memory access - that's pretty bad for performance on the CPU as well, even though it is optimized for that. It's just that people don't notice because they're used to programming that way.
Ah yes, I did misread it there; thanks for the correction. Line deleted, the rest stands without it.
Because limited resources are a thing that exists? I think if you were to take a poll, most people would agree that throwing all our economic might behind preserving the one bastion of life we know of in the universe is a better course of action than spending our time and money on what for the foreseeable future remains a pipe dream to be smoked by the very few. In all likelihood, we will need the technologies developed in a green revolution to even have a fighting chance of success at colonizing other worlds.

In the 737 Max, the engine nacelles themselves can, at high angles of attack, work as a wing and produce lift. And the lift they produce is well ahead of the wing’s center of lift, meaning the nacelles will cause the 737 Max at a high angle of attack to go to a higher angle of attack. This is aerodynamic malpractice of the worst kind.

Sure, market share changes slowly as people keep their PCs for more than 5 years (remember that Ryzen was released 3 years ago and only Ryzen 3000 really beats Intel).

If you want a temperature gradient then you want the reactor as hot as you can and the condenser as cool as you can, so I still don’t understand why you want to cool the reactor?
I work on social media. We use lots of lower level stuff - cameras (modifying EXIF data/crop/zoom/edit), voice calls, chat. Some things which require quick pop ups and approve. Everything involving native share, and some new things too. It's all doable on hybrid, but 3 times the work.

The more layers you have, the more you have that may not work or work unexpectedly, poorly documented (EXIF data on iOS is interesting). You have to check every one of these layers to see what is going wrong when it does. Sometimes I cut out a small test sample to see if it works this way, then if it does, copy out that code in several places, on plugins and so on. Also build times are slower on anything that isn't native and that adds up to a lot on a complex codebase.

According to my data, a small fix (understood bug) takes about 2 hours on hybrid, 1 hour on native. Double as much if we don't know the source and need lots of testing.

But if you're making a CRUD app, by all means, use frameworks.

CDC should require every lab and hospital screening for COVID19 to send lung CT and lab data to the government, and release it as a public dataset for AI developers to build screening models.
You have trillions to spend? I say go for it.
We have the lowest testing rate because the CDC made some big mistakes early on.

1) the CDC told all the other labs to stand down and wait for the CDC test kit

2) the CDC refused permission to test except under very narrow conditions

3) the CDC test kit was defective due to being over engineered, and delayed availability during a very critical period

Now that we're behind the exponential growth curve, any measures that politicians can take are going to be much less effective.

Let’s colonize Mercury. It’s not actually hot at the poles - it’s shaded enough from the consistent low angle to the sun that there’s even water ice.
