For distributed computing I also don't see a point using Rust versus the productivity of having a tracing GC strong typed languages with AOT/JIT toolchains.

Most of those languages also have ways to stack allocate and off GC heap allocation, it is a matter of learning how to use those features, when and if it actually matters.

99% of the time it won't matter.

Rust is great replacement for the kind of low level stuff like the C++ layer of Android, UWP composition engine, game engine graphics rendering and similar.
Modern day version of the original Macintosh team
I was listening to an interview with Tony Fadell and he was talking about how he closely followed members of the Apple Macintosh team and eventually followed them to General Magic. I was wondering what the modern day version of an engineering team like that would be?
One of my best friends has worked there for years. Crazy hours, but he loves what he does. Go NZ!
Another request, what made it great?
Corporations that built all the weak systems should take some responsibility and cough up the cash. Cisco devices are among those, as are most major manufacturers. This really doesn't need to be an America-typical "but if no one sees it why should we give anything" story. It's common sense and supporting this & similar ventures (Spamhouse?) should not need some complicated cost benefit calculation for a company making tens of billions in profit each year. If you really want one, a single headline along the lines of "Old Cisco devices vulnerable" should pay the bill sufficiently.
Nice work on the title.
It's not a matter of taste. It's a question of whether your preferred grocery store employs any experienced cashiers and baggers, and the degree to which their self-checkout machines are artificially dumbed-down and slowed-down.

In most cases, the customer-facing self checkout systems are objectively much slower and more cumbersome than the manned checkout systems that require some training and practice to use correctly. Paid cashiers never have to slow down their scanning because of a spurious reading from a scale in the bagging area. They get real keyboards to interact with the computer, and user interfaces that are far more responsive than the typical touchscreen UI's update latency.
Upside down objects and scenes look alien to us. We can recognize them but not without effort. It's a combination of having seen objects upside down before and being able to reason about what we are seeing. It does not come for free from invariance.
Oh those scary hackers!
It's not clear how this virus jumped to humans.

The now infamous Wuhan market is a seafood market and was deemed not the source at all.

Chinese don't really eat bats and the viral "bat soup" video was actually from Indonesia.

Other virus also from bats, like Ebola, have popped up on different continents.

If there is an issue it is likely the hunting of wild animal for food, not "wet markets".

We should be careful and avoid "China bashing" reactions.
No, as I wrote another day, polio, the Cold War, the meth/crack epidemic in the USA and the vodka epidemic in Russia were/are pretty scary.

(A lot of apartment blocks in Russia became 100% female after all the men either died in the Afghanistan war or destroyed their livers with vodka/wood alcohol.)

SARS (Corona-1) in 2002/2003 was bad too, but mostly affected Asia, with isolated incidents in North America.

How so? Any means "at least one is true" and all means "all in the array are true".
Managed memory languages like Swift, F#, C#, D, Nim, offer the productivity of GC, value types, unsafe if really needed and AOT compiled toolchains.
Corona Pulls the Emergency Brake
Having worked at an airline in the past 3 years, here's my opinion:

1. Margins are extremely thin, so for many airlines break even for a flight is 80-90% of tickets sold.

2. Regulations such as requiring airlines to fly their routes or risk losing the slot, ends up in empty flight (pure loss) just so they don't lose the slot.

3. Airlines are high cashflow businesses which are then highly leveraged with loans and long contracts. Disruption to cashflow screws up everything.

Honestly 2.5 years with the airline and I have no idea how we stayed operating.
One of the reasons for this is stock market being detached from real economic activity. It is mostly a play field for financial engineering. Hugely overvalued.
It seems their goal is to make the issue go away altogether by pre-censoring people so they don’t have to police bullying after.

Here it’s humans taking that shortcut, in the future I’d totally imagine AIs resolving to eliminate the source of the problems when dealing with societal issues. And we sure won’t be happy about it.

TikTok (and many other social network) is a business company, it can do whatever it favor as long as it's legal. Instead of complaining it, it's more constructive to come up alternatives :)

Quinine has much worse side effects than chloroquine's. The amount of quinine in tonic water is very, very low, or it would not be allowed.

Fun fact: the lifetime of chloroquine in the body is 1 to 2 months.
You can buy stocks/derivatives.

As a student, I wasn't at first interested in reading this post because of the title, but I ended up opening it anyway, and the first point (krisp.ai) is something so useful that I wonder why I didn't hear about it before, does anyone know a good FOSS alternative?
> Map of other users in the area so you know you're safe.

I think that would be a terrible idea. Not everyone in the world is a rational-thinking HackerNews reader ;). I would imagine it would lead to cases of mob-mentality which could be very thoughtful like community support for food/necessity delivery but also cases of unfortunate mob-mentality that could be very bad.

> You could then use that to check in to shops etc. and not be allowed in without showing status

This is exactly what's being done in China. But without the map of your neighbours. Everyone (that cares to go out) has a 'green' 'amber' 'red' status code via Ali or Tencent. Green indicates fine, Amber indicates movement (provincial or international, sometimes inter-city depending on province) within the past 14 days, Red indicates suspected.
Do you have some numbers what capacity one needs for this many people? Is it webrtc? Can you have more than 10 in a video call?
Servlets have supported asynchronous IO for quite a while now.

Then there is the .NET stack as well.

For distributed computing I hardly see a reason to pick Rust over Java or .NET eco-system.

If we would be speaking about something like real time audio engine, then Rust would probably be the tool I would pick.
Users have strong expectations about what features a "spreadsheet" application should have, so I say it merely "feels like" a spreadsheet to help manage those expectations.

For example, in existing spreadsheet programs, each cell gets an A1-style location reference (even in an Excel table or a dynamic array).

That's not the case in Mesh, but it does something similar: a cell's default name is where it was entered in the grid UI, and (soon!) we update that name when the cell gets moved around.
Same question here! The cost of these panels for like anyone whos' not a major manufacturer to use is so high it seems. I just wanna make some fun prototypes ya know.
m.2 can have USB lanes aswell
At least on the Canadian side of the border, there is a distrust of how the US has handled this and the general belief is that there are significantly more cases that aren't being reported compared to Canada. Closing the border gives us a better chance of keeping tabs and controlling the spread within the country if we aren't getting additional cases from our neighbours.
I was disappointed with the OpenMoko for many reasons, but the screen wasn't one.

Things like it wouldn't read my sim (bug 666), the stylus was almost required, but there was no place to put it, audio issues, sleep/wake issues, poor battery indication and tricky to charge from a flat battery.

Sure, the screen was kind of small, but the resolution was high, so you could claim hidpi before Apple invented it?

Some of those shops use price dumping to kill all local competition when they move in. Try again.
Nah, maybe will create a new category of "remote" BS jobs like "Remote culture coach, Remote Manger, Distributed communications Director"
Or perhaps stop obliterating an economy and let them actually live.

My sister and I were raised by a single mother in Russia in the 90ies, and we did relatively well compared to many. Mom mentioned once that she didn't really regret not having any hobbies or personal life for 10 years, not only because she loves us, but because she really didn't have time or mental effort required to seriously ponder these things, in almost a decade.
That was all, mostly, because of economic mismanagement.

If you look at the life expectancy chart for Russia at that time, and births - both, again, affected by economic mismanagement - it's quite obvious that it would have been much better even in terms of literal years life lost to have a magical smooth economic transition in 1991, followed by a 100% unchecked coronavirus epidemic.

The unchecked covid-19 would have caused far less harm that what the real loss of life was; and that is before you consider lives wasted - the struggle to survive, but also drug use, alcoholism, crime, suicide statistics from the period.
Oh and of course the end result - in Russia, most now want stability at any cost, so you have an emperor for life.

This recession is looking like it's going to be bad, and politicians from NZ to Malaysia to the UK are saying it's going to be worse than the last one or 1997 one; the way Fed is handling it here indicates they expect something worse than Great Depression, or they are out of options and are going to run it completely into the ground.

Meanwhile, the damage from the actual virus /so far/ is zero, literally zero, a rounding error. Yes, I know about Italy - the deaths there up until now are still a rounding error. Yes, I know about the exponential growth - the current levels are still a rounding error; they will grow exponentially, but exponential growth runs out very, very quickly when it has an upper bound of the entire population.

It would have been much better to have a one-month-long healthcare collapse where a million people with an average age of 60+ die, instead of a prolonged recession or a depression where tens/hundreds of millions of people in US alone, disproportionately young, children, the poor (not even speaking of the people in developing countries), have their life completely ruined - for many, forever; and many die.
One issue with Enterprise Software that I've experienced is that all subcontractors are scrutinised and have to be listed in contracts, clients has to be notified/approve changes etc.

I would love to pay you money but run this somehow under AWS (Marketplace?) so that I don't have to request signatures from all our clients.

The issue, AFAICT, is all about who has access to personal data and where that data is hosted (jurisdiction wise).
Glad they noted not to perform telehealth over TikTok.
> states in the United States itself are excellent proxies for the mean values that are held in a particular region.

I don't think those are any more practically useful, correlated, or appropriate than the assemblage, unless you go down to states where the population numbers are so low as to be less than a really meaningful statistical universe.

Populous states such as California and New York do not have anything remotely resembling universal buy-in on important values. Even within places like San Francisco, a single city/metro, you have a wide array of mutually exclusive value positions.

As soon as you get people together in large groups, you are going to have a large diversity in values and priorities. These civil perimeters have very little utility; I think people just like mentally personifying groups/nations so that they seem easier to reason about, regardless of the fact that it's wickedly inaccurate and not actually useful for that purpose at all. This is reflected in the widespread practice of synecdoche/metonymy.

China is a perfect example of this, as is California.

(TBH, I think it's a leftover from serfdom, where the lords/regional owners literally held physical dominion over the persons, labor, and travel rights of the people who lived within their borders. The Pythons' sketch on the matter from MPATHG accurately sums up my opinions on even thoroughly modern political assemblages.)

Personally, I reject the validity of all group identities that are based on sets containing more than a million or so humans. They're just not useful for reasoning about the group constituents, at all.

> But that doesn't mean anything with regard to the usefulness of what makes up a nation or its borders - which are of course proving quite useful during a pandemic.

Ah! Now we see the violence inherent in the system!
These days, a lot of what tech companies call "artificial intelligence" is actually outsourced moderators used to train a linear regression.

So there isn't much difference between algorithmic and manual sorting yet, because the AI needed for algorithmic curation is not intelligent enough yet.
Since twilio acquihired the kurento team, it barely got any updates, while the webrtc spec and implementations move fast. So I'd definitely stick with a jitsi based solution, which is way more modern and getting regular updates.
Agreed. Complex analysis was a great course!
The majority of my GP visits over the course of my life thus far could have been carried out this way.

We really aren’t making full use of the technology we have
This is a great idea, I just wish the government didn't make it necessary in the first place. Or perhaps that they at least tried it before the insane measures the Fed is taking to prop up the stock market.

I'm sure hospitals in Seattle, new Rochelle, Santa Clara and San Mateo counties, and LA county could use them. Really any county. 10 masks would be really helpful

Covid-19 virus creates world's longest passenger flight
Avg ticket price in the US according to Google $9.26, cinemas normally sell tickets in pairs and up so pretty close to the cost of the rental. Cinema theatres make very little out of the cost of the ticket during the first month of a run and make the bulk of their income from concession sales and upgrades to the watching experience.

So the way I see it is this price is about the studio not giving a discount on the “ticket price” but throwing the customer a bone of a 48 hour watch period and the ability to pause / rewind at your own convenience in Lou of the rest of the “cinema experience”.

For me personally it depends on the movie and my motivation to watch it. $20 for The Hunt? Nope, skip.

But Joker, dead pool, Sonic, movies I actually want to see? then I would prob go for it and make it into a planned movie night with popcorn and other lovely junk food instead of a drop of the hat impulse purchase like how I treat my Cinema visits these days anyways.

Edit: price does feel a little steep, but I think I would use it from time to time. So they hit that sweet spot of extracting the maximum amount of money I’m willing to spend on being able to watch day 1 cinema releases, not have others distracting me cause they can’t stay off their phones and have all the comforts of my own home.
I see panic hoarding and empty grocery stores and laid off people worried about rent. And it’s been two weeks.
I was thinking on similar lines yesterday and today made the decision of making all my ebooks free for the foreseeable future. I made bundles [0][1] so that they can all be downloaded in one shot. There are five books - three of them on regex (Ruby, Python, JavaScript) and two on cli tools (GNU grep and ripgrep, GNU sed).

Currently working on GNU awk, which will take another month if I want to include everything I had planned. Now, I'm thinking of releasing as drafts and see how it goes.

I plan to release book markdown source as well in coming days. Already done for Ruby [2]

I don't really have a good experience with boards, speaking for the electronic side of things, but it seems it'll need an additional cooling system, no?
The other thing that wasn't really covered is that contractors are getting paid even if they're unable to work (for example, people that work in security and culinary teams that aren't required because the offices are closed). That's one of the best things IMO.
That's a typo on the diagram. The R1000 processors have Gen2 built in (and you always need both USB 3 and 2 - which explains the two arrows in the diagram).

Sorry for the slow reply; a windows upgrade took out my pc for a day.

"Confirmed cases don't mean shit." I agree the numbers reported are probably vastly under-reporting the actual number of cases.

But what is your point? The question was "Have you had the coronoa virus", and the person I was responding to said, "i've yet to meet a single person with it either first hand or through friends and family"

How does that affect my statement? Imagine this more extreme condition. Corona virus is real, it has infected 1M people, but only one person in the world has been tested, and the test is positive. If someone said, "I don't know anyone who has tested positive," that is not at all surprising since they cannot possibly know that anyone has coronavirus unless they happen to know the one person in the world who has been tested.
A bit unfair, first season is amazing, the rest are merely very good - it’s a brilliant show overall though.

To underline huge market distorting impact of stock buyback, read this quote from Goldman Sachs Top of Mind, Issue #77 (https://www.goldmansachs.com/insights/pages/top-of-mind/buyb...):

"Buybacks have been the single largest source of US equity demand each year since 2010, averaging $421 billion annually. In comparison, during this period, average annual equity demand from households, mutual funds, pension funds, and foreign investors was less than $10 billion each."

The disease doesn't preclude work, the government response to the disease does. Whether it's the right response is a separate question; I just want people to keep the distinction in mind so they can look clearer at the evidence either way.
HN has users from many countries, not just America. And general advice in my country is to wear mask around. Journals share step by step tutorials on how to make them. In some cities, public transport wont allow you in without one (you can improvise with scarf or something). Some stores and pharmacies wont allow you inside without one either. Politicians in photos and personalities wear masks and I think it is to normalize masks wearing. No one here wore mask one month ago, not it is most people outside.

For me it was mind boggling when two days ago HN acted like the smart consensus was "masks do nothing, they are useless and don't wear it".

It is not just "little ad hoc debates". It is also clashing between cultures I guess. There are people down threads actively convincing others not to wear masks and implying you are uneducated if you do. Unless that side of discussion stops spreading it, people who got the "wear masks for others and yourself" advice should be allowed to state their case too.

I dont really know where "dont wear masks" meme is coming from, but it seems to be against everything I hear in my country. Person you are answering to might not be American either.
