> Wow. This must be one hell of a keyboard..

Kind of have to look at it as the whole package. You aren't buying an iPad and a keyboard, you are buying a 10.5" laptop for $1,100.

I went cheap on my older iPad Pro and just use an aftermarket bluetooth keyboard, but I've kept this guy for 4+ years now and spending a bit (Ok a LOT) more and having a really nice keyboard/ case/ trackpad affects the usefulness of the device for the entire time.

Still debating it, still not sure I'm upgrading my iPad yet, but I'm a lot more likely to pay the extra for the nicer setup this time around.
Kind of. It is around 30 days now, but it can't be emptied that fast - I think it takes something like 4 months to draw down the full capacity.
I fitted a hand-held shower head on one of those and used it for showers when we lost our water heater a few months back. Worked pretty well if you don't mind 'boat showers.' I could see where your idea might actually work.
With lots of companies struggling or going under, the demand for commercial real estate should be lower. Supply roughly constant, demand significantly down.
The european colonists fucked the place so bad that now the only way to learn about the indigenous people is to desecrate their burial sites, further destroying their culture and identity. Now WE are the experts, and they're just bones in a museum basement. I think it's disgusting.
Without a doubt, you’re better off buying now than when markets were 50% higher a few months ago.
Is WeWork still a going concern? What about all the other over-leveraged rent-collectors out there?

What if the amount of over-leveraging, interdependence and fragility in our financial system results in things never going back to "norms"?
Great, thank you for banning this account. It was spreading misinformation about the current pandemic.
Whoa whoa who says humans have bad eyes? Our color vision is like animal kingdom best practices, and we invest a ton of brainpower into visual processing.

Humans are great at throwing too, and traveling long distances.
Pat Hanrahan is a friend and colleague at Stanford. For years, he occupied the office next door in the Gates Building. He's smart and insightful, gracious, thoughtful, well spoken, and open--social virtues which amplify intellectual skills. While the Turing Award cites his work in computer graphics, he has made significant contributions is other areas.
I think hot water mixing valves are standard for toilet lines in modern construction. It mixes in enough hot water to prevent condensation from occurring on the tank or the bowl. The water wouldn't be shower warm, but judging by other comments here it's less of an issue than one might think.

I guess you might not have this if you live somewhere like west Texas.

In my old rental, the mixing valve malfunctioned and condensation was causing damage to the floor. In my current house, it mixes in too much hot water. If you flush a few times in a row, you can feel the warmth off the toilet bowl. It needs to be replaced, because it doesn't have an adjustment screw.
No, because higher risk means buying more stocks. Nobody has a magic eight-ball, but given how the economic changes that we'll be seeing have barely started, I strongly doubt that:

1. We are close to having hit the bottom.

2. Once we do hit the bottom, there will be a magical, fantastic, quick recovery, that you will miss out on if you don't act quick.

If either one of these is true, then buying stocks right now is jumping the gun. If both of them is false, you should buy everything you can.

If you want to be safe, liquidate, and sit on cash. If you want to be greedy, the best play may also be to liquidate and to sit on cash.
Yeah, I think when all of the dust clears on this that I will be putting in the bum guns in our place. The idea has spread to my entire house and close family, who spend a lot of time living with us during the year, over the past few weeks.
Archive.IS is NOT run by the Internet Archive. Very important distinction. Archive.is is a private archive run by an unknown entity and have previously banned entire countries from accessing the service for unclear reasons.
Is it possible that there isn't a `this` binding? Does Lox allow access to "unbound" methods directly from a class, or are methods accessible only via instances?
Thanks for the tip, I didn't know about that.

Ccould a "read articles" possibly be done through the use of cookies on the users browser, rather than being stored on HN servers?
Can someone explain why bond yields are going up? Normally you'd expect people to be investing in safer assets (eg. bonds) during times of crises, especially with the Fed slashing interest rates and embarking on QE.
I travel a lot and use a MacBook 12 for development. I like to keep it light, so the Air and MacBook Pro are too heavy, and the iPad pro doesn't work yet as a development platform.
Thanks that totally makes sense! I look forward to playing around with this.
Mortgages too. Same thing as 2008, although it will take longer to achieve the same result. People are losing their jobs, no longer able to pay mortgages, housing prices fall.
what if they don't want to?
This is why you don't base you business on Amazon. When you do, they are in full control of your business.
Mortality rates for young people are not negligible, and we don’t know either the long term health impacts of a severe episode of the virus or even whether catching the virus gives immunity.
EU says pro-Kremlin media trying to sow panic with coronavirus disinformation
bankruptcy != liquidation

Liquidation (shut it down, fire everyone, sell all the stuff) is one (rare) outcome of bankruptcy. The more common is some form of reorganization, debt re-structuring, etc. The "middle path" you mention.

Bankruptcy is good. It generally prevents un-needed and chaotic liquidations.
I never said it was advanced mechanics, what I said was it's not an introductory book. You shouldn't give this to someone who's never taken a physics course. It's written for use in vehicle and aeronautical/astronautical dynamics and supposes a fairly developed understanding of coordinate systems and vector math.

> Perhaps we have different definitions of "straightforward"

It is certainly more straightforward than Lagrange. You just set up the constraints, which is done in two steps: (1) set up the kinematics, i.e. setting the position equal to some parameterization of that curve (2) set up the dynamics, i.e. express Newton's laws in terms of the same variables. After that, you can perform any derivatives needed using the transport theorem and set the kinematics and dynamics equal to each other using the common variables.

> Coordinate invariance in physics means

Since I'm not invoking the phrase "coordinate invariant" here I don't know what the deal is. All I said was that the concepts in this book express various physical laws including friction, Hooke's, and gravitational without use of coordinates. There is no X, Y, Z or 1, 2, 3 of the vectors in these descriptions. Whether to you that means coordinate invariant, is another story but ultimately irrelevant.

> I still stand by the claim that this book is a pretty elementary one

Considering you've spent all this time arguing that it's not straightforward (it is), I really suggest you take a look. It's nonconventional and may change your perspective if you really give it a chance.
Things don't happen by coincidence. If we ever wake up from this human containment experiment, we may find ourselves in a world where the panopticon is already in place, and there is no escape . The intelligence agencies are watching us. The tech companies are watching us, and many people in this forum have contributed to that. 5G is the new incarnation of the surveillance state. It connects with every available device in its vicinity. It can generate 3D images of the insides of buildings. But the mm frequencies are absorbed by the transmitter's surroundings, so we need transmitters everywhere. If the frequencies get absorbed by trees, then they also get absorbed by the human body and brain. This massive project is not about giving people faster internet speeds.
It's funny that you this mention this; Apple recommends Mac Minis for Xcode build farms right on their page! What could be better? A mac pro? An iMac pro would clearly be a waste given the cost of the screen (although some CI for a Windows app I worked on in the past required a monitor to be turned plugged-in).
NO, DO NOT DO THIS!!!

Compression fittings in plumbing must NOT have any teflon tape on the threads. This just causes leaks. Teflon tape is for fittings where the threads are the sealing surface. Compression fittings do not seal with the threads; the threads only provide compressive force.
> 2. Max monthly spend: unexpected traffic spikes happen, and the thought of spending an unbounded amount of money in a month is really uncomfortable. You can configure fly.io apps with a max monthly budget, we'll suspend them when they hit that budget, and then re-enable them at the beginning of the next month.

I like this, not having caps is a major problem with some of your competition for smaller projects/companies where the max caps are more important then availability.

I heard of more then one project which mad some mistake them self wrt. some code generating request in their client. Or had some other reason why they had insane usage spikes, causing them to basically go bankrupt in a mater of a view hours. Not even days. (Through one project got lucked out as if I remember correctly Amazone bailed them out to prevent bad press).

IMHO for the majority of server application availability is important but only up to a certain cost. After which unavailability for some time is better, even if you lose some customers. (Yes, like always there are exceptions).
You are fortunate. That being said I've never had any issues with Linux myself so why take the risk if all you get in return is a bubbly GUI and some bloatware
A few of the UI changes - top search bar, activity and files tabs, compose button - first appeared in MS Teams some time back.

I wonder how much the competition forced Slack to think more about the UI/UX of it's product.
Well for the record, I enjoyed my Surfaces. I thought they were what Apple should have released at that time. I am also a fan of ThinkPads. I still have an X1 Carbon – great keyboard. Sold my X230 on a whim and still miss that little guy.
In a world with perfect planning, yes it would have made more sense for us to expand our healthcare so that we could withstand something like this. But we didn't. We made our bed, and we have to use what we have in hand.

We can't create enough bed space, vents, ECMOs, in the next 6 months. We can't train enough doctors, nurses, etc in 6 months. So we play the hand we're dealt, and choose a mitigation strategy that doesn't result in 70M worldwide fatalities (6M in the US).
>Gold is long term cash.

The assessment I came to was that gold is a store of wealth, not a currency or investment. It's a way of preserving, not creating wealth. It's what could be passed on to your offspring along with land that holds its value, more or less, over generations.

It damn sure isn't the FRN. If you held on to one of those from 1920ish, you'd have about maybe 3-4% of its worth in terms of buying power (of staples like eggs, bread etc)

Money and currency are for spending to get things of actual value, whatever those things may be.

There are apocryphal stories about Jews in WW2 Germany who had all their wealth in gold (as was common back then) who used the malleability of gold to flatten it out in very thin sheets then make thread from that, then sewed the threads into their clothing so that their wealth wouldn't be confiscated when they were fleeing the Nazis. I don't have any citations, though.

>I don't want to sprinkle my ass with water and have the resulting shit water splashing all over the place.

Mechanically, I'm not sure what you are envisioning, but I believe your mental picture is deeply flawed.
Saudi Arabia is constantly turning on and off different oil wells to manipulate the price of oil. This current crash is in large part due to them turning on all of their pumps.
Forensicswiki Is Reborn
Because subspecies are a particularly arbitrary taxonomical division. Some of the pragmatic reasons are that human "ethnicities" are very fuzzy because people travel around, that they are only an average of arbitrary large groups of related people, and that people tend to look meaningfully similar only to their closest relatives, and only partially.

Except that is not happening - and test kits are not around or in supply.

At some point you push past what's possible to manage, and I think we're there at this point.

It is technically reasonable to test everyone once a day, and quarantine the positives - but it cannot literally happen here in the next few weeks. The vice president just said, "Do not get a test if you don't have symptoms - to preserve them for the sickest people."
False advertising is, in fact, illegal. If in your opinion they've crossed the line into actual factual inaccuracy, it's your right to take legal action against them, or request that your state's attorney general do so on your behalf.
This is close to the UK approach I heard about
I could never figure out the Amplify docs. Maybe I was stuck in the marketing part of it, but I never saw something that stated clearly what it is or how it works. It was like "just click a, then b, then c" which is not useful for understanding what it's actually doing.

So, is Amplify just a simplified interface to S3+CF?
There is a path forward: Just dropping support.

The web as a platform has done this before for things like ActiveX, Java applets, and most recently Flash. Collectively, developers decided they were overcomplicated rubbish and abandoned them.
When you really dig into what you wrote, my feeling is you're not describing a solution that's feasible in large countries, short of (very) authoritarian enforcement.

Keep in mind, for example, that the US is not technically under quarantine at the moment. And there are plenty of examples of people across the country recklessly defying the advisories.

The virus is especially virulent and controlling it in the way you describe requires stamping it out totally with extreme measures. We know that if even one case remains in the general population, it's just a matter of time before we're once again under pandemic threat.
In America, wind power is given a subsidy of up to 1.9 cents per kWh generated. Because wind has almost zero variable costs, negative electricity prices can still make money for wind producers. Even though wind energy is fast to turn off.

At some point we'll have to adopt a combination of what Boris first said and only a partial lockdown, and I say that as a guy who has voluntarily self-isolated for almost a week now. There's no way for the whole Western economy to function on made-up money for more than a month, let's say a month and a half. Yes, that will most probably mean triaging people in hospitals, which will probably force elderly people to remain isolated in their homes a little more than the rest of the population, but to be honest I do not see any other solution at this moment.

Your butt goes deep enough into the chasm that splash only falls into the bowl, never outside. If it does, you're doing it wrong.
Vitriol is never justifiable for this sort of thing, I agree. I do think calling out the unscientific use of the word “proven” or “proved” is reasonable on a forum where so many people have at least some scientific training.

I studied and taught biology and chemistry in grad school in the south. Lots of people don’t “believe” in evolution and will base some of that on the fact that the theory isn’t “proven”, without understanding the rigor that proof implies in a scientific context.

Usage like we see in the article is problematic. What if this finding were disproven later? What does that teach people who don’t know any better about the nature of proof?
just got a 2019 16in Macbook Pro with i7 & 16GB Ram at work and this thing flies.
It is definitely faster than my personal 2013 i5 macbook pro with 8gb of ram, but im going to make it last through this recession for as long as i can.
I am salivating over forthcoming 14in macbook pro though
Every time I hear someone say that they stopped using toilet paper after switching to a bidet, I have some serious questions. Because I've used bidets and washlets of all kinds, and I've never met one that actually cleaned fully without also rubbing/wiping. So, ok, using wet paper can get you much cleaner and is gentler than dry paper, but blasting wet feces droplets all over the place with a jet spray alone isn't so great if it still doesn't get you clean.
I can buy this argument for a new leader of a small company, but at the time these things took place, Ed was a senior leader at a very high level for ~ten years. Also, at the time that the lawsuit covers, it was definitely not 400, but probably closer to a thousand employees, and more importantly for at least most of that period Pixar was a wholly owned component of one of the largest entertainment companies in the world (Disney). So Ed either should have known, or he shouldn't have been in a position to make those kinds of decisions. Furthermore, at the time of the lawsuit, this was not some small mom-and-pop shop trying to eke out an honest living, but was the most successful animation studio in the world for a decade, whose films were producing hundreds of millions in profits every twelve to eighteen months, so it's not like they were in some tight pinch and couldn't afford to compete on wages, they just didn't want to. As one of the principle people behind Pixar, Ed also benefited enormously from the studio's success, so to see him trying to suppress the wages of others is disappointing. In light of all this, the "oopsie, didn't mean to" line doesn't really hold up to scrutiny.

With that said, he's done a lot of cool things, and deserves recognition and credit for a lot of important pieces of technology. This award is deserved.

For reference, I was involved in the class-action lawsuit as an employee of one of the other studios involved in the price fixing ring.
Only Russia can't completely turn off its pumps, and only during winter. They'll freeze. Besides that case everyone else can do it or simply slow them down as they've done in the past.

You position yourself; the water stream stays where it is. You get used to it very quickly and know where to expect it to be based on where you’re sitting.
changes in output to the oil rigs / refineries themselves can easily be ramped/up and down, the problem is the industry relies on a complex network of "smaller" offshore construction companies[1] which are not so flexible in the sense that they can just stop without repercussions. They supply a range of services such as inspection, pipe-laying, testing and connecting actual well-heads[2] using ROV's and deep-sea saturation divers. Staffing these jobs is highly volatile since most people working for them are also freelancers flown in from all over the world. When they bid for these projects (with Shell, Conoco, and others) it takes weeks/months to mobilize their personal, ships and technology for the job.

Usually when there is a reason to reduce capacity on a rig (mostly due to weather) it's normal to just stand-by (sometimes for weeks) until they can continue with the job. When I worked offshore it was never possible to say when I get back home, e.g. the job was estimated to last 10 days but could end in 4 months. And once we were done we were almost always flown to a new destination (so they would try to keep us out there as long as possible). While places like the North Sea regulations would be strict (28 days offshore would be max before you have to go back to shore), in the Golf of Mexico, or in Asia we would never have such rules. I know people who spent months locked in the compression chambers (sat system) or until the project was over. And none of us dared to say we want to go home (it would be career ending).

I think the (currently top) comment about it's name is actually important ... I also wondered why it was named "Helm" once I read the title as it didn't seem to fit what the application does. But you're right in the sense a more constructive activity would be to recommend other names. Wouldn't a name like "Relax" or "Exhale" be better in line with "what's in the package"? (note that these were the first two names that came to mind).

Do you approach pages as applications or as marked up documents?

In those many cases when the page just carries information - it's not, for example, application-in-page, where you can change parameters and see the results - it's a document. A document is simpler than an app, doesn't need full power of Turing complete engine, and because of that, allows easier tools to manipulate - extract data, render differently (like for users with disabilities), modify (e.g., combine with another data set).

Sure, documents can be considered apps - a simple version of apps. There are also reasons to explicitly maintain strictly lower complexity for something which is not a proper app. For those, webcomponents could be overkill. Just imagine webcomponents with which you never use at least some of their capabilities?

I'm trying this out now.

One question: when I ran "flyctl deploy" it said "Docker daemon available, performing local build..."

If I turn off my local Docker, would it instead just upload the Dockerfile somewhere and perform the build for me?

If so, is there a way to force it to do that? I'd much rather upload a few hundred bytes of Dockerfile than build and push 100s of MBs of compiled image from my laptop.
It doesn't matter because when a webapp crashes, it doesn't bring down your whole machine (or these days, even your whole browser).

The killer feature is effective per-app sandboxing.
That's not hard. What I'm talking about is giving each PR its own unique domain URL. That's a much bigger pain in the ass with S3+CF. I'm not even sure it can be done quickly because starting a new CF distribution takes like 10 minutes. I guess you'd need to hook into Route 53 somewhere or something?
The main thing Apple still hasn't addressed that it doesn't need new hardware for is multiple profiles. One of the most prevalent environments the device is used is at home, shared by the family.
