> It's funny that you this mention this; Apple recommends Mac Minis for Xcode build farms right on their page! What could be better?

Well of course Apple recommends this. It's like asking a barber if you need a premium haircut, but the price is expensive with poor performance, but will do just fine for most people.

A less expensive CI for achieving better CPU performance would be a quick Hackintosh setup with a powerful Intel NUC for 1/2 of the price of a maxed out Mac mini. This isn't for everyone, but it saves me money and even more if it were my existing computer.

The expectation here for a in-house hackintosh CI is that if you can install and setup a Linux machine and configure X11/Wayland, etc it is pretty much the same with a Hackintosh these days.
If we start defining numbers by physical quantities ('what really exists') we'll have a pretty hard to work with numerical system. Because MAX_APPLES is of course smaller than MAX_DUST_MITES, so they define two different number systems. And I can probably pretty easily subdivide until maybe a hundredth of an apple, but a hundredth of a dust mite is much less physically plausible (at human scales).

Not to mention that you could say: well sure, I can imagine a trillion trillion apples, but they don't really exist, they're just a fantasy. In reality we only have MAX_REAL_APPLE apples, and damn it, Johnny just ate one so the largest 'really existing' number just went down.

Overall, we can play this game a lot, but the reality is that pi is as real as Aleph0 which is as real as 1 and 2 and 0.0000...1 and +Inf etc.
Multiple reports now mention this "high blood pressure" criteria. What this means more exactly? Elevated (above 120/80) also counts as high?

I'm guessing it's tool marks on bones. Maybe they can tell if somebody was chewing on a mammoth rib or something.
Given the way that public transit is run, I think service would be the lowest priority of an airline if it were run by society instead of capitalists.
I think there will be disruption through at least the end of the year. The second-order effects mean we'll still be dealing with aftermath for at least 5 years. It won't be going back to normal. On the upside, a decrease in pollution. On the downside, that probably means next winter will be unusually cold by recent standards.

> trying to maximize profits for their employers

> What specifically are you going to punish management for?

Maybe punish them for their myopic view on "maximizing profits"? What's worth more: $100 in profit in Q1, or $25 in profit for the next 8 quarters? It would better for everyone if we had a return to sustainability in the private sector.

I see you've never personally experienced the US military...

Kidding aside, while many service members do uphold their oath honorably, there's plenty of non-compliance and outright malfeasance without accountability.

And to the grandparent, the military does run reactors outside of ships (but typically for research as far as I know)

I'm so glad you've launched. I loved the entire thing every time you've explained it. Absolutely chuffed to see Wireguard and Firecracker getting deployed "in anger". Tensorflow@Edge sounds like the good kind of bananas to use it with.

Your quickstart being called speedrun is too good for you alone to have it, so I'm stealing it the next chance I get.

Either way congratulations Kurt & team! (and no I still have not bought that Safari 911 or any 911 for that matter and yes professional help is being sought).
These users are almost always hacked, there have been instances of public, verified people that were abused.

The problem is that Twitter's moderation teams are hopelessly overwhelmed, massively understaffed and, for the lack of better words, utterly incompetent/unable to understand cultural context - probably somewhere in India, Vietnam or wherever else you have a large number of cheap heads.

Ask HN: Favorite HTML/CSS only website?
Hi HN,
I recently found https://git.sr.ht

At first I was: "Meeeeh" but after some time navigating the site, I was astonished by how fast it is and how easy it is to navigate it. So now I want to discover more sites like it.

What is your favorite, HTML/CSS only website?
Actually, when the alternative is fossil fuels (and it frequently is), you only have to understand that, even if your nuclear reactor goes kaboom, it will still kill less people than your fossil fuel plant that does not blow up.

And please don't give me "we should all use less energy." Even if we should all use less energy, it's still better to generate this less energy from nuclear, as long as we're using fossil fuel now.
Same here. No problems doing development. The Achilles' heel? Work conferencing with Google Meet. Kills the poor machine.

It's really convenient that I was able to use my scroll wheel to adjust the text opacity! Sometimes I prefer a 50% fade just to add a little extra challenge to my read.
You have me wonder what one could make by that formula. No one else thought it was interesting [hah] but I had a good time pondering an environment that forces the user into a productive pattern. These 2 ideas seem compatible.

Of course most people imagine themselves to be motivated and able to focus on goals. Then, after x hours of win, they log onto twitter or facebook, get calls, messages etc or lose half a day on HN.

Make something like a game console only the exact opposite. Imagine phone calls and work messages popping up in the middle of your xbox session and work being 1 click away at all time? I think that would be just as inappropriate and undesirable as doing it the other way around.

It cant be just me, as soon as I start the browser the entire internet circus is there, all of the clowns, balloons all over. This is where I'm suppose to get work done?
I should have rephrased. I believe Slack's UX team is looking for solutions to problems nobody actually cares about. Meanwhile the tempo of so-called improvements that end up being harmful to the product seems to have made the entire app unstable. The fact that they have to publicly back away from new features after customers revolt, like their ill-fated rich text editor, seems to confirm that nobody wants this stuff.

In my opinion I think Slack's time would be better spent collecting money and maybe building native clients for various operating systems. It was fine in 2017. I wish their UX team would just stop.

The Russian destabilization playbook is (and has been for decades) to sow plausible-enough-for-some-people lies, and let the rank stupidity of the target population take it from there. Google "agitprop" for more on this.

The lies can be in various directions; they don't have to be consistent. They just have to get people worked up, and preferably distrusting the government.
I disagree and would love to run arbitrary code on a device I own.
Your panic buying to build up a supply lead to others not being able to buy what they need. Actions have externalities.

The problem with panic buying is it breeds panic.
Generalizing "programming" is a fools errand at this point. For some, their IDE alone would warrant a pro-spec machine. Some people need to virtualize their development environments. Some people need to virtualize several environments interconnected. And for some people, programming is just a simple terminal session with tmux running - VIM on one screen, shell in another, tests in another.
But what if those medical resources aren't available yet? What if we need to wait weeks or months for them, no matter how much money we have to spend? If the entire world needs these things all at once, there is going to be a shortage (and there is). That's a death sentence for a lot of people, an overwhelmed medical system, and perhaps a runaway burden on the health system that no amount of dollars can catch up with.

I think that's a large part of why we're shutting down. If this thing got away from us (we can't possibly know yet), a lack of isolation would mean every place that didn't isolate would essentially have an Italy situation on their hands. That's an insane risk to take.
On the contrary, I find these predictable puns in journalism to be lazy and annoying. If I have to read about another oil tanker spill that’s “fueling” speculation...

Well beyond those (other) specialised use-cases (which are admittedly well catered-for by the current iPad hardware and software offerings), I find that the iPad Pro is a wonderful machine for most of my business workflow: constructing and editing spreadsheets in Numbers and Excel, writing documents in Pages and Word, doing serious computation using Wolfram Online (“Cloud-based Mathematica, irksome though it may be to not have a local computing instance), and of course the usual web-browsing & emailing kind of activity.

The device literally has the form factor of a thick notebook when folded inside its robust Logitech keyboard case, connects to the internet over 4G (if no WiFi is available), and is a perfect work environment.
You're totally right, I should have said non-Pro designated Mac.

The last time all their planes were sitting about was 9/11, and they were openly talking about the need to be prepared for another such occurrence. This seems like something we should expect on the scale of decades, rather than some vast timescale.
Nope, that's just a rehash of the Sheriff's tweet. As far as I can tell nothing's changed in the last several hours. There's nothing in that article pointing to any specific order directed point-blank at Tesla. The only order I've seen to date is the broad "shelter in place" one, which Tesla either thinks doesn't apply to them or is intentionally defying.

(I've seen rumors the Sheriff's office showed up at the factory today, and that a deal was reached to just finish cars currently on the production line, but nothing new from any credible source so far).
In difficult times, those with power will always choose to hurt the weakest. Something to remember going forward.
I do custom applications for a liquid handling robotics company.

Nucleotide extraction and amplification are some of the most common contemporary applications of modern liquid handling robots. Cherry-picking or sorting of samples is also a technique that is common and well within the functionaltiy of these robots.

To avoid cross-contamination, diagnostic samples are typically not mixed and handled in discrete wells with sample specific disposable pipette tips. In a scenario where throughput/cost/reagent scarcity are important and false-positives (without severe symptoms) are low-risk I think your suggestion absolutely has merit. I am going to run this by our diagnostics specialist for further review.

There's not always penalties. Look up what's called the Section 72(t) distribution. This is a "retire early" option, where you can start taking a monthly distribution at any age, without penalty (income tax still applies), as long as you maintain that distribution for the longer of five years or until age 59.5.
A proper shell I can ssh with is really all I would need to do my real programming tasks. So even technical work could be broken down further.

You do lose the inherent value in the organization. Planes and humans don't create value on their own they have to be organized into a system. That system falls apart when a company is sold off for parts. Sometimes it makes sense if the organization is dysfunctional, but being a victim of a worldwide economic shutdown is not what I would call dysfunctional.
It was definitely controllable after it left China, as we can see from the fact that countries such as South Korea have managed to control it. European countries were completely unprepared for it, despite the fact that SARS should have been a warning call. (I assume that's why South Korea was ready for it.) It was partially a cultural failure -- I know several Chinese students living in Europe who thought the European reaction was insane -- and partially a government failure. European government should have started reacting months ago stockpiling supplies such as masks and tests. A widespread testing regime should have been in place. Travel back and forth to Italy should have been curtailed much earlier, rather than people traipsing back and forth on holiday, and people who did travel should have been tracked as much as possible.
No nation has done mass randomized testing to see how much of their population has had the virus. If China did it, they haven't released the results of that test.

South Korea will not be able to remain quasi Covid free, unless they plan to never open their borders up ever again. The rest of the world is going to be flooded with the virus and the disease. The bulk of the populations in the EU and the US will likely get the virus, and as you note, fortunately, the death rate hopefully maybe plausibly is 1/10th or 1/20th what we think it is due to the volume of unknown cases roaming about.

The only way SK remains mostly free of Covid, is if the virus goes away and doesn't come back next year (and or we get a vaccine they can use next year). SK can hold in place, while the US and EU and other regions (China already) likely go back to work; then as it fades elsewhere with increasing herd immunity, SK can come out of their protective shell. Otherwise they'll have to remain in perma lockdown, perma quarantine, perma heightened mode.

"Prior to 1982, stock buybacks were considered market manipulation and were illegal under SEC rules. Whether buybacks should be outright illegal or not, they are a sign that a company thinks so little of its own products, services, and market potential that its capital should be diverted from growth and towards financial engineering."

That's very well put.
It sounds a lot like we're talking about different things. The Italian guy before is talking about a real bidet, a serious plumbing fixture much like a toilet. You and others seem to be thinking of some cheap, plastic add-on. Personally, I was thinking of either the European-style bidet, or the Japanese-style washlet, neither of which is cheap.
A person with an AK-47 and TNT can't render vast tracts of land uninhabitable for decades in the way that nuclear waste can.

I am very pro-nuclear in the US (and the EU etc.), but I think the concern about nuclear in potentially unstable nations is absolutely valid.
This basically bumps the amount of behavior you can stuff into the edge by several orders of magnitude. Previously, Lambda@Edge will like, maybe validate a JWT. Now, you can put like half your app in there. It sounds like a tiny incremental change but it's big enough that it simply redefines what's even possible in a POP.
> Considering you've spent all this time arguing that it's not straightforward (it is), I really suggest you take a look.

I just downloaded a copy of the book from LibGen. I change my original assessment that it might be a good introductory book. In fact, now I think that this is a terrible book that reinvents the wheel in so many places, and novices should avoid it since it teaches bad practices. E.g., look at Example 3-2 of the book where the task is to find the motion of the particle constrained on a parabola y = r^2/2R (similar to the paraboloid example I asked, but more easier since the constraint manifold is one-dimensional). The solution of that problem (Eq. 3-105) is 4 pages of algebra! The Lagrangian for the system expressed in terms of r is

L = m/2*(1 + r^2/R^2)*v^2 - (mg/2R)*r^2,

v being dr/dt. Now, to find Eq. 3-105, which the author derives in 4 pages, all it takes is to plug this Lagrangian into the Euler-Lagrange equations, and answer pops out in 2-3 lines of algebra involving some very trivial partial derivatives. Curiously, the author has also reinvented d'Alembert's principle when he does this problem the second time in Example 3-9. I'm also surprised that the author hasn't mentioned d'Alembert's principle (or virtual work for that matter) -- something that engineers make extensive use of -- anywhere in this book.

> Since I'm not invoking the phrase "coordinate invariant" here I don't know what the deal is.

You did mention that this book introduces mechanics in a coordinate-free manner (which this book actually doesn't).

> It's nonconventional and may change your perspective if you really give it a chance.

It's not just unconventional, this book is filled with terrible examples and techniques to solve problems and the author has reinvented the wheel in several places. The reason you found this book challenging was because this book chooses to do problems using the most contrived methods possible. In fact, this is a book to show why one needs analytical mechanics.

[citation needed] — meaning that merely because developers perceive themselves as being directly influential doesn’t mean that they are necessarily. Sure, developers ultimately dictate the success or failure of a platform by choosing to populate its ecosystem of applications or give it a pass, but I assure you that if the only way to develop for iOS/iPadOS were a clunky UNIVAC fed with punched cards, developers would be hand-punching ‘em cards in order to get on the runaway bandwagon of the successful platform.
Germany. Our pensions are on a rolling system - meaning that the current worker generation pays the pensions of the pension generation (plus a bit extra cash from taxes).

Downside: you need a healthy young population for such a system to be sustainable, and a combination of various factors making it harder for young parents to start families (exploding rents linked with wage depression, job insecurity) and utter xenophobia means that it will have problems in the next 20-30 years if something isn't done now.

Typing this from Fedora 31 running on a dual-boot, 4-month old XPS 15 (LCD screen, not 4K OLED). The only configuration change that has to be made on a new XPS is switching the SATA mode to AHCI. Fedora signs the kernel correctly--you don't even have to disable secure boot.

Signing 3rd party kernel modules under secure boot isn't difficult, but documentation on it is sparse. So I've kept my notes for next time: https://lawler.io/scrivings/linux-cookbooks/

I think this comment just reads as an assertion made to push a narrative. If you could provide some data about the relative domestic production and export quantities it would add a lot to the discussion and community’s knowledge. Part of what makes HN such a great resource is that people share facts and reasoning to justify their opinions.
Agreed, that one sentence line is perfect and not fully clear on the website. A lot of these cloud services keep it quite vague for some reason, which I somewhat understand for the whole 'CTO marketing'. But the early adopters will appreciate it and they are who matter the most early on.
Of course.
