Are you sure it requires access from the internet to the bridge for V2? I think it may only require that the bridge can access the internet.

I have a V2 with "Out of home control" set to disabled and it works fine with my Echo Dot and with the Amazon Alexa apps on my phone and iPad.

My guess is that the bridge sends status information, including the bridge's IP address, to the Hue site, and the Echo can retrieve that information in order to find the IP address to send commands to.
Imagine how many people never used a chat app in a business context before. Maybe this is hard, as you can’t imagine who they could be — or you don’t remember a time _before_ the ubiquity of chat apps in the workplace. But trust me those people are a majority of the workforce.

Right now I'm battling the rough edges around the RX 5500 XT support. If you try and use 3 monitors it reliably crashes. You can kind of make it work by manually setting monitors.xml to a low resolution on them or a low refresh rate before you add the third monitor, but that only seems to work if you add the monitor at runtime. I copied the same monitors.xml for gdm as well so no clue what during initialization seems to be crashing it only if it's during boot. I've tried all the way up to DRM-next, mesa-git, latest linux-firmware and so far I'm stuck with 2 out of 3 screens.

I've also got a new 3700X and that's been completely stable.

I use Feedly myself which pulls in articles via RSS. I even got into this thread with an RSS link. Frankly, it's a great resource to keep up with different blogs and sites without having them all live in your bookmarks bar.
Are you talking about a Linux version of Vtune or are you running your datacenters on Windows?

I know Vtune for Linux exists but I've never heard much a bout it, everyone seems to be recommending "perf". Is there more to measuring memory bandwidth than multiplying last level cache misses with cache line size?

I think where Intel does best is their open source drivers, tools and contributions, though AMD has improved a lot in that respect too.
And many of those cases are new. How many of them have recovered, and how many are still battling it out?

CFR can change tomorrow for a given population. Another reason it’s such an elusive number.

When the infection spread is increasing, more new cases are coming in today than yesterday, and so the CFR contains a good portion of people who are still early in the illness lifecycle. Just because some haven’t died yet doesn’t mean they won’t. Meanwhile, as the spread continues, the healthcare infrastructure may reach a tipping point where it can’t treat people as effectively.
Last time I checked Cayley, it didn't have Linked Data support. Is it something that you have added recently? And does it support SPARQL?
I've met plenty of assholes. They're rich and getting richer.

Being an asshole is like emitting a poison: at certain doses other people are fine. As it increases they become more transactional* until they shut down or let the relationship die. But this doesn't stop a lot from getting rich.

Assholes do get "handled" however. Often it is used against them. But does this matter to them? Probably not to the extent you would expect. A lot of assholes hide their ways until they pounce.

Being an asshole pays well. Does that make it ok? No. Does it matter to them? Likely not: they're assholes.

The real lesson is to learn not to include assholes in your inner circle. And make it hard for them to join or get too close. There are benefits to not being an asshole.

All that said, there are benefits to having an asshole. Shit needs to go through somewhere. And particular people are well suited to it. Let them. Some deals go better when done between assholes.

* Or they're like a hot oven. We will tolerate the heat because we like cookies. But won't leave our hands in there too long or unprotected. We will turn the oven off completely when we don't need cookies. Transaction complete, cut ties. We might come up with ways to reduce exposure down to minimal levels. We'll wear gloves. Less time spent. Or we'll find a better oven with a better door and insulated handles.

I think if I were forced to do PP after a few months I'd be in jail. For strangling the poor soul sitting next to me out of sheer frustration.

Joking aside, pair programming (not as in occasional bout of problem-solving which needs a fresh eye, but as an everyday routine) only works when the problem is well-defined and people involved are of about same level of skill (otherwise it becomes a training session rather than production - which could be valuable but is definitely not the stated goal).

I am a highly skilled and experienced software engineer who did make notable contributions in a bunch of subfields - with awards and such. I noticed that most my peers (including those I consider at my level of skill) have a real trouble following my thought process - for example I tend to work in highly non-linear fashion, jumping all over the place, and in stop-and-go bursts. I could spend a month or two literally doing nothing, letting my mental model of what I'm building to settle and clarify. When the time comes the actual coding becomes nearly an exercise for fingers.

Another issue is depth of the abstraction stack - for most software people I met it's rather shallow. My personal notion of a "full stack engineer" is somebody who understands computers from how quantum effects make transistors work all the way up to the psychology of users, corporate finance, and macroeconomic trends - and everything in between. When you are aware of the fact that programming choices you make do not exist in a vacuum, and are dependent (or should be dependent, if you have a clue) on deep understanding of computing substrata, math behind it, the ways the product will be used, and the business objectives and environment - you would either need to force your choice on your pair peer (in which case there's no benefit of the "second opinion" as there's none) or to spend a lot of time and effort just giving him the background necessary to understand justification for your decisions. In my experience attempts to do so usually get dismissed as "that's philosophy", "it's irrelevant", or "we have work to do".

The stated advantage of PP - the better code quality - could be just as well achieved by a combination of disciplined thought, careful and elaborate execution, and actual learning from errors and mistakes - reflection on the ways I make mistakes is somewhat of an obsession for me; by now I usually know where I made a mistake even before I fire a debugger to confirm it (interestingly, I observed the same obsession in people who are engaged in seriously risky and technically complex endeavors like flying search-and-rescue missions or technical diving). (FWIW I'm of a very low opinion of merits of code reviews... wastes way more time on bikeshedding than saves on troubleshooting. Of all my decades writing code I may recall maybe a handful cases where it actually helped to find a bug which wouldn't be immediately apparent otherwise.)
> Sure you do. See speed limits, driving licenses, etc.

Speed limits are revenue sources and bear little if any relation to actual road safety. The extremely low level of enforcement of them is proof enough of that.

Driving licenses don't stop people from driving, so they are not a good analogy to what anti-gun people want to do with legal restrictions on guns. Driving licenses are analogous to permissive gun licenses in "shall issue" states, where the government can't deny you a license unless it has abundant evidence that you are simply incapable of properly handling the relevant technology (cars or guns). Considering how easy it is to pass a driving test, that's a pretty low bar. And roughly the same number of people in the US are killed each year by cars and by guns (although a much higher percentage of gun deaths are suicides, so if we just consider people killing others, cars are worse).
Since COVID-19 is targeting elders, I can imagine there are evil capitalists or bureaucrats who view this pandemic as a gigantic economic stimulus for the next decade. Sorry for my evil thought.
That's a great word!
Why do you need to maintain multiple versions? You should only need to maintain hotfixes on the last release branch. Once the next release is ready everybody who can update should take that release, any older releases become unsupported.

From a customer point of view a hotfix vs new release should be no difference. You just have to ensure that all releases are interface-compatible with the previous one. The cost of this is well worth it compared to the complexity of juggling multiple branches in parallel.
>So the big name brand drug companies just buys them all up. And because of that they no longer face competition from generics. They own both the name brands and the generics.

Didn't something like this happen with Martin Shkreli? From what I've read, the drug that they upped the price on had its patent expire decades ago. It's just that nobody else was producing the drug, presumably because it wouldn't make enough money. This resulted in essentially one company being the sole source of the drug, not because of patents, but because of cost.
>Capitalism cannot work without risk premiums/cost of capital/hurdle rates.

Still works: As someone who was throwing pennies in front of the credit risk steam roller since 2018 (long OTM puts on junk bonds with 4-12months of expiry, roll every 2 months), people were gladly picking up,
I would give my theoretical first born for markets to go back to ATH so I can make a bigger pos on long on tail risk… helps when writers/dealers were (and still are) pricing options with black scholes horrible assumptions for OTM and when not near expiry…now they gotta buy back at +20x with help from the discount window (shout out to head of the 3 time felonious JPM: Jamie Dimon, hope for a swift recovery… id have heart problems too if my TBTF bank was at the discount window).

Mispriced risk is amazing, and cheap to be long while playing other high risk (high prob payoff, short tail risk) strats until it pays off.

These fake interest rates set by the FRBNY bureaucRATS with their daily manipulations in coohoots with the +20 brokest-dealers, only make tail risk cheaper to buy.
How about this scene from It's a Wonderful Life. Is this movie still popular at Christmas time ?

https://youtu.be/6SLDMMGzkyI?t=61

But regarding torture, in the 70's Christian/Roman era themed movie were commonly shown on TV. As a child I concluded that every man eventually gets tortured. While we were watching a particularly brutal scene I asked my dad if he was ever tortured and didn't believe him when he said "no". But if TV weren't enough, we had a crucifix in every room and I found the normalization and ubiquity of depictions of torture depressing and confusing, leaving me convinced I was born on the wrong planet.
There is a checkbox at the bottom to show only censored tags, the default view shows you what's currently popular, the title is very misleading.
If you do turn on the censored view, large part of the top 10 censored tags are about Chinese people protesting a proposed law to allow permanent residences to foreigners (like a green card).
There is another tag in top 10 claiming coronavirus is not originated from Wuhan. It's actually very different from what you read from the popular media here, you would think the government would be pushing this narrative.
Of course, anything against the government would be censored as well.
I don't know if this is what you were thinking of, but capnproto[0] does exactly that with a promise like interface.

Snapd has it's own set of problems.

It is sandboxed, so your use case must be compatible.

It uses apparmor, what if the system uses SEL ?

It's sandboxed in a certain way, your app must support it.

It's very recent, only the latest distribs have a snapd release that works well.

It's slower to execute.

Snapd assumes systemd.

But wait, did you say snapd ? I though you said flatpack. Or appimages.

Anyway, despite all that, it is easier to write a snapd instead of a deb+rpm+whatever. I actually like this project a lot.

And again it proves my point: to get stability, we use snapd, a tool to compensate for diversity.
I don't think DevOps was really supposed to mean "developers should also do operations" (though, that's a lot of what has actually happened, and you're right that with Cloud Stuff and other third-party solutions like Heroku a lot of specialist sysadmin-era knowledge isn't needed in many places anymore)...

I think it's actually supposed to mean "the people doing operations should also be developers". They should have the technical skills and the agency to create software to solve their problems. And to the extent that sysadmins hacked together perl scripts or bash scripts to solve problems, it is presumed that it would be better if they were more skilled software engineers who would have hacked together better solutions - maybe less arcane, less one-man-band, better abstractions, reusable, less copy-paste, etc... I don't know if that's fair.

I think it's half true and half rebranding. DevOps theory - and the services that go with / enabled it - has really changed how a lot of software teams work. And the rebranding helps with the paycheck, too - which is why all your DevOps teams are now restyling themselves as SREs (and hey, if they actually do some of the SRE stuff then it's a win, right?)
DDG used to have issues with responsiveness on their page. Years later I tried it again and it actually feels right. A lot of work has gone into performance optimization and it has sucked me in.
I have about 60 hue devices. Its useful enough to me that i would just buy the bridge if I had to. In fact I WANT them to release a new bridge that supports even more devices.

If you ask why - first is I am very sensitive to bad lighting as it seems to be a cause of migraines, Hue has amazing quality. Second I like the automations, not just turning on and off at the right time but also changing colour temperature. Having motion sensors so walking around triggers lights turning on is something that I got really used to.
Well, if capitalism is the problem, then why don't the socialist/communist countries develop the drug instead? Or alternatively, the community could come together and they could work on coming up with the treatment as a group. But we all know that neither of these are likely to happen. Researchers need money to live, labs need money to run.
> the cost of reading a lot of little files would be too high

The `readfile()` system call will reduce that by some factor, though probably not as high as a factor of one third (it replaces three system calls with two, assuming it turns out to be useful). But getting all the data in one call will be even faster.

Incidentally, a typical read-all-of-this-file function in user-land allocates a buffer of the right size after doing an `open()` and then `fstat()` to find the file's size. Whereas a system call to read a file in one go really can't do that unless it establishes a memory mapping (which is... expensive). So I rather question the utility of this thing. Also, since one might not know what size buffer to give it, it might as well have an option to return an open FD. Or the app should have to `stat()` then `readfile()`, thus replacing three syscalls (`open()`, `fstat()`, `close()` with two -- bummer. Or the caller can `readfile()` repeatedly if the buffer given was not large enough (oof).

No, I'm pretty sure this `readfile()` can't possibly make reading lots of tiny files fast enough to not want a better solution for getting mounted filesystem metadata out of the kernel.
Absence of malice doesn't absolve from responsibility. The mental model is still accurate in your example.
Ask HN: How can I help as a software engineer in the current Covid-19 epidemic?

You've taken it a half-step too far, but yes; if you assume that drunk drivers are, in fact, not setting out to comment manslaughter, then you can see what causes it and push for taxis/uber and actually get people off the road. Or you can assume malice, demonize them and end up like MADD.

Vector displays are one of my favorite things! If you ever get a chance to play with one, I highly recommend it. Playing with a friend's Tektronix terminal was stunning for me.

The Vectrex was an amazing little console, and it's a shame it didn't take off.

There's an alternative world in which computing never got overtaken with the urge to put photorealistic pictures on every surface, and that world is so much neater than the one we're living in.

I'd wager it is more than just an indian thing. Most cultures have the body be viewable by people for last rites before they are interred or cremated. But if any part or the whole body is going to be donated, the body has to be worked on right away or kept in the morgue, which is incompatible with a public viewing.

I speak from recent personal experience. My father (Indian/Hindu) passed away a few months ago. He had registered with a medical college "to use his body for science". He was a devout Hindu, which made this extremely unusual. And being an atheist and dispassionate about death myself, I was most chuffed and proud of him. When he passed away in the hospital, the med school sent their ambulance and transferred him to the school's morgue. That is when I was struck by how much the lack of last rites mean to people. Many friends and relatives were left feeling adrift, that they didn't have time to say bye. It was too sudden, even for me. You know there is no life in that body, but the thought of him as a cadaver, with med students using him to learn suturing or surgeries or whatever is deeply unsettling. We did have a memorial service later on which was cathartic for all, but it is not at all common in India.

For those of you who are reading this and are from Bangalore, I cannot recommend MS Ramaiah hospital highly enough. They showed such kindness and respect to us and to my father that I never felt my father was being "used". I recommend considering body donation for yourself and urging others to consider it. Registered donors get free medical checkups for life!

They probably could,but they're showing no sign of wanting to compete on cost.

E.g bandwidth costs on AWS are high enough that if you actually serve up lots of data from S3 you can typically afford to rent servers to cache all of it 'in front' of AWS and still save a ton of money.

S3 only gets close to competitive if you never access the data from outside of AWS.

Which gets to the point: If you use an AWS service like S3, you pretty much has to use other AWS services if you want the cost to be even somewhat reasonable in aggregate.

They don't need to compete on cost, because once they get you to buy into one set of services, moving any one set of services off AWS gets more painful and/or costly, and a full migration looks too scary for most people.

S3 will never be priced to undercut anything but big players for that reason. They need to be competitive with Google and Azure, because those guys can offer to offset transitioning costs and generally aggressively target AWS customers.

A small player isn't the same threat even if substantially cheaper.
Well then, anecdotes aside, your point is just patently incorrect. Per the leaked slide in the Business Insider article, experts are privately warning hospitals of a disease surge that will almost certainly overwhelm them, with at least 500,000 deaths in the US. That’s not a crisis manufactured by the media nor an overreaction by the public. It’s the reality of what’s being prepared for.

The article mentions the difficulties with clinical trials. It makes sense, now China running hundreds of studies on coronovirus with thousands of people: http://www.chictr.org.cn/searchprojen.aspx?title=&officialna... testing few drugs and their combination at a time, it's hard to do outside of epidemic.
I look forward to HN's resident statistics gurus to explain how the traditional flu and drunk driving kill more people per year than the paltry 14 deaths in the US and therefore everyone is overreacting.

Edit: Apparently my sarcasm wasn't thick enough so let me make my point crystal: COVID-19 is a real, genuine threat that's just getting started, but HN is filled with armchair fuckwits [1][2] who dismiss it because they lack simple math skills.
