This kind of reporting seems counterproductive. A more helpful headline would be something like, “In locked down Italy, life is mostly normal.” The body of the article is OK, but the tone seems intentionally negative when the same facts could easily have been presented hopefully.

One of my biggest concerns is that places in the United States, or other countries, will adopt aggressive social distancing policies early, while the number of cases is low, and then the backlash against those policies will be that “this is hell, and the virus isn’t even affecting that many people.” That can lead to pressure to drop the policies prematurely when the virus is nowhere near contained yet.

This is a great opportunity for responsible journalism to strike a tone of optimistic “we are all in this together, it is very serious, but if we all do the right thing we should be OK.” Fear mongering on the one hand, or dismissal and backlash on the other, are both extremely harmful — But good for Clickbait and selling ads. We really need the media to resist that during this emergency.

Its an issue because things like coffee are in no way necessary for being productive, and certainly not to the extent that you should need to walk a mile to get a coffee before working.

But for me the problem is less anything you are doing, and more the implications of what you've said about Google (and other companies for that matter). The fact that employers are trying to remove so much of the "friction" of normal, human life to maximize time spent working is a bit dystopic. I mean, by the same logic, why not scrap the cafeteria and bathrooms for that matter, hook employees up to feeding tubes and catheters, so they literally never leave their desks?

Cooking, eating, meal cleanup, etc are a part of human life. If we are trying to streamline that, it should be for the extra comfort of the individual, not so that a company can keep them at the grindstone for even longer. So the argument that working from home causes decreases in productivity because employees have to care for themselves isn't actually an indictment against working from home, it's an indictment against the expectations of productivity that employers have.
Microsoft tried pushing their own mobile OSes for years before finally giving up when they were down to low-single-digit marketshare in the US.
Feel free. We won't.

There are multiple reasons, but the big one is there is almost no overlap between the engineering team's reason for existing (writing and maintaining line-of-business applications) and ours (keep systems up, compliant, performant and safe).

But if it makes you happier, one tool we use is Puppet. That runs in JRuby in a JVM to execute their own weird DSL. So to use it in a nontrivial environment, you need to be able to tune Java and write both Ruby and Puppetese.

Surface/Surface Pro tablets have been anything besides DOA, this opinion is slightly outdated.
I'm not involved with the project, but I think you can probably get this running. The hardware is cheap, the install instructions are pretty straightforward, and if you know which end of a USB cable is which, you'll be able to bumble through.

Keep notes as you do, and that can feed directly into improving the documentation to be more noob-friendly.

You'll find more ways to get involved from there, including just using and sharing the project with friends.
And the Microsoft Surface Neo will run Windows 10 X. That makes it even more confusing!

I am of the opinion that the very concept of commissioned sales is cancerous, because of the obvious perverse incentives it sets up. Whenever I am forced to buy form commissioned salespeople (car, furniture/mattress, insurance, interacting with an 'advisor' at my bank), I can never take that salesperson's advice at face value. I always wonder if I'm the mark in some institutionalized or just regular straight-up con. I will (and sometimes do) pay extra to avoid the feeling of needing a shower after such 'interactions'.

Choosing the right database for e-commerce platforms
I used to get about a mile on 900MHz Ricochet radios, one of which was sitting on a chair in the living room, the other of which was sitting on the passenger seat of my car. Around a mile, the usable data rate would fall below 4800bps, and my NMEA packets would stop going through.

I find it entirely believable that a lower data-rate modulation could get better range than that, even on less power and worse antennas.

And you can do a LOT with antennas on 900MHz.

How do you mean exactly? Long, complex sentence? FWIW I don't think this is a particularly good one. But if you like this writing style, Jonathan Franzen does it quite a bit, and really well. Check out The Corrections.

From a snarky perspective, n+1 is a "postmodern" type magazine that caters to theorists, critics; the types who attempt to convey abstract meaning (words are just endless signifiers, after-all!) while sniffing their own farts caused by holding their breath writing long sentences. Mark Grief, one of the founders of n+1 wrote a really horrible collection of essays called "Against Everything" that is moderately popular. It's full of this kind of self-absorbed writing.

Anywho, n+1 seems to have gone a bit more mainstream lately, as witnessed by their modern web design and recent presence on HN.

I think BossingAround means that any mobile OS other the iOS or Android has been a failure. The Surface & Surface Pro run a desktop OS: Windows 10. Microsoft tried with various mobile OS attempts and seems to have given up. Which is a shame, since the tile interface was actually pretty good.

Unless Chinese officials are still lying about their cases, and international observers are being fooled despite now knowing to look carefully, it seems (only tentatively, not saying it's the case at this point) that China is already reaching an inflection point. The number of new cases has dropped heavily and the death count is shrinking too apparently. That this is possibly already happening in such a densely populated region could bode well for the rest of the world for the initial surge in cases leveling off sooner than some are predicting.

I've seen a surprising amount of panic and unfounded assumptions towards the worst from many commentators here on HN and though it's perhaps to be expected from a crowd with a notable number of visible hypochondriacs, it's disappointing to see too. This isn't to say that concerns about the virus should be neglected or that people shouldn't take practical precautionary measures seriously but someone leaping to cataclysmic conclusions based on early figures is no more substantive than another person dismissing the whole thing as nothing major. Both are based on notions without backing and impossible foreknowledge.
> * “I know what you want to ask me. I weighed whether or not this was a moral thing,” he said. “My conclusion was: If I don’t do this, someone else is going to. That allowed me to do it.”*

Can’t argue with that logic ..... /s.

That’s basically saying, “I’m totally in the clear to be a greedy asshole, because I’ve seen other people being greedy assholes too.” Two wrongs does not make a right.

Honestly, these people only make the situation worse. Don’t buy from these price gougers, either in person or online through a marketplace. Use a price history tool like camelcamelcamel when shopping on amazon, and report these instances of price gouging.

Seriously, these assholes are only in it for themselves. Don’t trust their products, and don’t put it past them to not try and scam you in a deal with fakes or watered down shit. Don’t put yourself at risk from panic buying.
Making a sandwich takes about 5 minutes. So does a salad. Or just make 2x the servings of whatever you were going to make for dinner and save half for lunch the next day. Or meal prep and make a weeks worth of lunches in about an hour on Sunday. All of those can be at least as healthy as whatever the cafeteria is making, and take a minimal amount of time.
Saying “demand is high in Caribbean” is fine since the definition of demand is subjective. Saying coronavirus doesn’t affect warm weather places is criminal.
The Java spec is not open source. You could either extract as much or as little from OpenJDK and comply with its open-source license or obtain a spec license if you don't wish to open-source your implementation. In other words, you have the open-source route or the closed source route, but the closed-source route isn't free. (BTW, I am not authorized to speak on behalf of anyone other than myself, so this is just my opinion).

"Tried" is maybe the wrong word. Windows CE was a leading OS on smart handheld devices for a good long while.

Arguably, the biggest single thing that killed their market position (aside from the launches of iOS and Android, of course) was that they didn't retain backward compatibility, so Windows Phone 7 and later were effectively a completely different OS. Getting into competition with yourself is rarely a winning strategy.

In my case, only the Heltec boards were easily available, and they lack the GPS that's in the TTgo boards. So I hope there's a way for the phone's GPS to participate!

(Or, since the esp32 has bluetooth, recognize a bluetooth GPS puck? That's extra work and they're quite rare, so maybe nah.)

Otherwise I'm totally fine soldering another GPS onto some random GPIO pins, I have a whole bag of those. I'm just not sure what it would take to get it recognized.
Literally every other application on my Mac. I don't know of any Mac applications that don't have a useful context menu.

Even if you ignore Firefox's weird horizontal menu items, it looks wrong, and it acts wrong.

The dividers have a non-standard color. Some menu items have tooltips. One item has an icon, and it doesn't highlight correctly. When dismissed, the menu disappears sharply instead of fading out.

(To add insult to injury, the menu doesn't even use the system language. There's some internal setting that nobody can find which causes it to use Japanese even though my system and Firefox prefs are all set to English.)

The position is wrong, too. I'm used to dragging one pixel to the right, but that's not far enough to highlight the first item in Firefox. Many keyboard shortcuts are missing, e.g., the common ways to jump to the top/bottom item (home/end, cmd-up/down) don't work.
Since the paper was presented, it was reviewed in ICLR and significantly expanded, and many questions raised in September were addressed.

The performance metric is the number of equations/integrals correctly solved over a held out test set, generated randomly. This is done using an external tool (SymPy), which some might consider "cheating" (but you need a way to test, don't you?). Anyway, keep in mind that checking a solution for correctness is much easier than finding one.

Another issue was about using timeout for Wolfram. This is now discussed in the appendix (it makes very little difference).

During review, an interesting point was discussed: out of distribution generalization, or how performance depends on the random problem generator we used. This is now measured and discussed at the end of the appendix.

ASLR is a general technique to try to prevent memory corruption vulnerabilities from being turned into code execution when the attacker can determine the location of already-existing code in memory and use the memory corruption to cause program flow to jump to it.

It works pretty well against remote code execution because it's hard for an attacker who can't already execute arbitrary code on your machine to determine the address space layout. In principle it can also be used to protect the kernel against user processes, but that's much harder because a process that can already execute arbitrary user code on the same machine can use a variety of side channel attacks like this to determine the kernel address space layout.

KPTI was originally proposed to close some of those side channels, but it's kind of expensive. It only got enabled by default (on Intel) because it also mitigates Meltdown, which is a much worse problem. It also doesn't handle all of the side channels:

http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~nael/pubs/micro16.pdf

Meanwhile, if some kernel code is vulnerable to Spectre (i.e. the Spectre mitigations are not implemented properly), it could allow the attacker to read arbitrary kernel memory. That is obviously very bad, but the ability to read arbitrary kernel memory implies that the attacker can already determine the kernel address space layout, so I'm not sure how KASLR would be helpful in mitigating that.
Further, this is one of those standards that cuts both ways but people only see it when they're the ones suing.

I want to prevent consumer pain due to bad sales practices, but I also appreciate that the burden of proof required means that it would be harder for someone to sue me into bankruptcy for speaking my mind at some point.

"Anything anyone says to a customer must be true" is difficult. "Anything the consumer signs must be true" is a much better, and easier to enforce method in my opinion. There's a long way to go on plain language there (and people can and have already tested enforceability) but it's a much clearer standard. (Not a lawyer, just a citizen)
How to talk to anyone was a good book. Tells you things that you can develop and put some effort on, like reading a bit of topics outside of your interests so you have higher chances of having a good question to ask.

Like say you meet someone that likes cars, if you don’t know anything about it, it’ll be hard to ask something non chitchat, but if you read a few news of motor sports, you might be able to ask something that sparks conversation.

“Cool, yeah I don’t know anything about them hehe”

Or something like that. Applies to anything really.
The trusted device works with mobile apps, and it works by generating cryptographic keys and store in the device's secure storage. It doesn't involve the browser to identify trusted devices.

I like this idea if it focuses on a specific subject, but I don't think it works as an aggregator.

During the 2016 election there was a FB Messenger app called purple, which would send out 1 message per day with the news on the election. It allowed me to ignore all the headlines and clickbait because I knew that Purple would tell me everything real and useful.

With news aggregation, what I find interesting is highly personable to me so trusting a human to figure this out doesn't seem like the ideal approach.

Obviously google news is nailing this, but leans towards clickbait. Something like pocket offering this customized aggregation could be cool if they were optimizing for me saving articles, not just clicking on them. Of course Pocket does have suggestions and I completely ignore them.
It's true that it's only really worked in China so far, at least only that we know of positively. But there is also some research coming out suggesting that some of the measures China took were more effective than other ones. In any case, I said there is a reason for hope, not a reason for certainty. We will see how effective Italy's measures are.
What’s Holding Women Back?
Oh, thanks for spotting it!
Totally with you, except you need to choose your primary language carefully if you want it to scale up and down like that. Don't expect people to write little command-line tools and one-off scripts in C or Java. You'll see an apparent lack of tooling for little tasks, as people hoard their secret scripts. And it's really important to get people to check code like that in, as then it will be subject to PRs where bugs will be spotted, documentation requested, and general awareness of the code's existence raised.

Also, junior people will translate "code I will never be able to check in anyway" to "perfect opportunity to play around with that new language I want to learn" and then you've got them making the usual mistakes as noobs in that language.
It looks like this supports automated updates within a specific time window, but it's not clear to me how the "waves" are defined. (Note that this is something that is currently lacking in Fedora CoreOS: https://github.com/coreos/zincati/issues/34.)

The article isn't bad but it beats around the bush quite a bit.

The reality is that the architectual establishment is largely responsible for destroying the aesthetic inheritance in the west. Kunstler lays this out for the layman in "Geography of Nowhere".

It was a confluence of events: the architectual establishments hatred of traditionalism and regional forms, combined with the corporate elites love of the inexpensive, anti-skilled labor, massed man internationalist style.

As the article mentions, we will continue to cycle around in various modernisms that reject one another in a simulacrum of progress while, to the layman, offering nothing of aesthetic merit. What will not be considered, until after the revolution, is a return to the forms that created the towns and cities we all love.

Meanwhile, any remaining charming old neighborhoods are bid to the moon, and Christopher Alexander is read mostly by software designers.
