Back when I worked in game development (level design), I found a really interesting pattern in World of Warcraft.

Basically, if you walked down a path, there would be something distinct every 20 seconds of walking. It might be a big rock on the side of the path, a bend, a little bridge over a creek, etc. Just something.

I think firstly, this served to help you feel like you were going the right way. A long and featureless path makes you wonder if you should turn around. One with features visible in the distance makes you want to keep going to see what's ahead.

Second (and relevant to the article), it helps you with navigation because it gives you easy to remember references.

Another comment to add, separate from the game thing. This reminds me of a patent a co-worker just put out: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/10578449.html
Real question coming from a non-k8-user. What would you use something like this for?
Server hosting or?
No layoffs in Dailymotion. We're in fact having an opening for a junior/mid-level (~1-3 yrs exp) JavaScript developer role, for my team in south-east France. Due to the outbreak though, interviews will be via Zoom.

You see sand boxing and app stores as two different things, but they’re not—the iOS security model relies on this sequence of steps:

1. The application developer creates a manifest that lists the privileges the app wants, and includes it as part of the code-signing request;

2. Apple’s App Store review team audits the application more thoroughly according to the privileges it has claimed;

3. Apple only code-signs the app bundle if the app stays on the strait-and-narrow;

4. The OS (through Gatekeeper) enforces the content of a code-signed app bundle, and therefore makes any included capability manifest immutable (in the sense that, if you change it, Gatekeeper considers the app considered and won’t start it);

5. The OS (through the capabilities system) enforces the restrictions from any included capabilities manifest on any high-level framework calls.

Note that there’s no actual linkage going on between code-signing and the capabilities manifest, in a way you’d expect from e.g. a Docker image. There’s no real “application sandbox” here. There’s just an Apple signature on the app bundle, telling you Apple saw this app as-is and approved it; and then, separately, an entirely optional opt-in capabilities system for which an app can claim any capabilities it wants.

If you take Apple out of the picture as a central signer, then 1. apps could claim any capabilities they liked, and nobody could tell them different (this is more like Android, where installing something presents you with a list of the capabilities it claims); but more importantly, 2. apps wouldn’t even need to use the capability system at all. Like I said, it’s opt-in; regular binaries run on macOS (and iOS!) just fine without living in an app-bundle with a paired capabilities manifest.

So, the whole security model of iOS (and macOS under Gatekeeper strict mode) comes down to “Apple verifies that apps are doing the right thing at some point.” Without that, there’s pretty much no sandboxing on either OS beyond what little you get from BSD user privileges and Mach port ACLs.
A few university teachers are already using the app to facilitate and encourage asking of the "stupid" questions during remote learning. I've decided to make the app totally free for educational purposes. Just reach out to get permanent free access.
Finance is a mountain of complexity piled on an 'IOU Nothing'. Next time you log into Robinhood and pour your IOUs, stop and think if you've ever-- and I mean EVER-- examined precisely what it is you are buying.

What makes gold valuable is exactly what used to make dollars valuable. No BS and you'd be nuts to borrow to buy and hold them (because no yield and storage costs money). That means, in boom times they don't bubble (as much) because ppl aren't buying on credit, and in busts, people see both the intrinsic credibility and price action as a sign of strength.

Silver is a thin market more easily classified as a commodity somewhere between oil and gold. The oil market is in a very unusual situation. When that dumpster fire dies down look again at the movement in the gold/silver ratio.
Eindhoven data scientists take on corona data to predict growth of infections
I mean, okay, percentage-wise you're absolutely correct, and if you subjectively feel that the difference between 1.3mm and 1.0mm key travel is the difference between typing bliss and "might as well not be moving at all," who am I to tell you otherwise. For me, subjectively, the Magic Keyboard is the nicest-feeling "low travel" keyboard I've ever used, and as a technical writer and a novelist on the side who has a closet full of mechanical keyboards I'm pretty picky about my keys. Do I think the Matias Tactile Pro keyboard that I'm typing on at this very moment and the Vortex Race 3 with Cherry MX Clears that's usually my office keyboard are better? Yes. Do I want a laptop with them? No, in fact, I do not. Do I want a laptop with what I consider to be the nicest-feeling "low travel" keyboard I've ever used? Yeah, that sounds kinda nice. As always, your mileage may vary, and if you're willing to go back to having inch and a half thick laptops so you can get in that awesome mechanical clicky monster, more power to you.

> every year they get worse

So you are saying that the Magic Keyboard, with its 1mm travel, has too low key travel, but it is also worse than last year's butterfly keyboard with 0.7mm key travel? The keyboard you prefer may be subjective, but math is not.
Right, but the GC was talking about developing JS applications on their computer, so presumably they were referring to compiling frontend JS projects, which multiple cores would not help, I think.
I’m a bit disappointed in the new iPad Pro, since it seems to be just as thin as the previous.

As someone who had nothing but trouble with the 2018 model because of this, it’s disappointing to see that Apple’s trend of reducing thinness for things such as better battery life (iPhone 11 (Pro)) or better thermals (MacBook Pro 16”) didn’t carry over to the iPad Pro, which arguably suffered the most from its thinness.
Performance is so bad in WSL 1 that it is practically unusable.
Simple things should be easy, hard things possible. That's the essence of good design.

Not, prevention of minority use cases.
Surgical masks contain a wax barrier that prevents the healthcare worker from spreading their own germs.

If a surgical mask can stop germs from going out of the mouth, then I better hear a more rigorous reason why that same mask doesn't work in the opposite direction.
Fox News probably has more influence. They did a complete change of direction a few days ago. One morning, Trump and Hannity had disappeared from the front page of the Fox News site, and more or less reasonable statements appeared. Within half a day, Trump changed course, and he started appearing on the Fox News site again.

Still the most useful graph: [1] The Financial Times updates that daily. No projections, just actuals. It's striking how consistently the infection rates track a straight line on a log-linear graph. The US is on the same track as Italy, 12 days behind. So is most of Europe. Only a few Asian countries show signs of control.

Do you have more than a single instance to point to in which expert bureaucrats are lecturing and patronizing while being wrong?

From my perspective it seems clear that the American public has been in the grips of anti-intellectualism for quite a long time. In 1980 Asimov made the following famous statement:

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
It usually takes a doctor between 7-10 years to get licensed. Sure you can change requirements, but do you want someone just out of med school working in ICU without adequate supervision, making complex assessments and treatments? The pipeline for both nurses and doctors is just severely constrained.
My first job was at a mining startup that found perhaps the best copper/gold discovery in a decade. We were ultimately acquired. It's a reality. Mines take a minimum of ten years from discovery to bring into production. This is without the typical roadblocks of political/environmental/management/technical showstoppers.

Gold has long been thought of a long-term store of value for this exact reason. Governments cannot help themselves, particularly democratic ones, from following a path of unfunded austerity. It becomes the power cycle, at some point there is a financial reckoning, and citizens' wealth is destroyed.

Then the cycle begins all over again, usually tied to a metal (like gold) before breaking into fiat when the unfunded liabilities exceed the ability of the country to fund them.

US dollars are the best among the worst in fiat. That will change, as it always has historically. Gold will remain as a store of value, as it always has.
It's marketing to stupid people.
Any chance you have more details on GP's question about the tech basis of the router (ebpf, dpdk)? I didn't find this component among the OSS in the superfly org.

'I'm not a physician but': The rise of anti-vaxer influencers

This medical influencer issue seems to be a much more common thing: from Goop eggs, to anti-vaxers, to corona-influencers.

The solution seems to be the need to increase scientific knowledge.
The standard definition of inflation is a standard for a good reason: it's what effects consumers!

It's been that definition all through the 1970s when inflation was a real problem, so your implications it is that for political reasons is incorrect.

You can keep trying to argue for a different definition, but the OP was clearly trying to hedge against consumer price inflation - otherwise he'd hedge for investment asset inflation by investing in the assets subject to that increases, not a metal like silver which isn't correlated with those increases.
Speaking of misinformation, buzzfeed news originally posted this

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/danvergano/coronavirus-...

with the title "Don't Worry About The Coronavirus. Worry About The Flu." They have since scrubbed or edited much of the content of the article, surely not to hide their completely irresponsible behavior.

edit: If anything, the real story here is the absolute, abject failure of both national and international health organizations and traditional media to provide accurate and up-to-date information on this emerging pandemic and how Twitter and Reddit filled that gap.
We don't really have an accurate infection rate from the flu since we don't test for it. Most of the flu data is collected via surveys...
They meant bold and significant for the corporate bailouts. Socialism for thee but not for me.
Making it possible for 3% of users to access a site via accessibility APIs comes at a huge cost, but it's done anyway because it's a good idea.

The thing about cutting features because they aren't ones that fit one's use case is that there's always someone who doesn't need that use case. "Not a lot of people use it so we should cut it" isn't a great criteria for a platform.
That is very true.

Keep in mind the original SARS had a death rate of 10%, so obviously there was a tremendous amount of fear that this new related virus would be similarly lethal.
Not trying to spread misinformation, but what do you guys think about it being a bioweapon developed at the Wuhan level 4 biochemical warfare lab?

Does anyone think there's any possibility that is, in fact, its true origin?
>> I'd love to see a 4800G chip with 8 cores, 20-30 CUs, and 16/32GB onboard HBM2 unified memory in the $400/600 range (depending on RAM).

It will more likely have only 8 CUs like the laptop chips but with a higher TDP (65W?) and clock. OTOH probably only $200ish. Still a killer desktop value.
I think _everyone's_ understanding of the situation is quite poor, not just the public's. If you read studies of the previous epidemics such as SARS, H1N1 etc, you will see that early in the epidemic cycle everyone tends to exaggerate the impact in all aspects, sometimes by orders of magnitude, in part because it's safer to err on the side of caution rather than not be cautious enough, and in part for selfish reasons ("woo-hoo, I get my 15 minutes of fame after working for peanuts in some godforsaken epidemiology lab for a decade"), but mostly the former. For bird flu, for example, the initial prediction was "up to" 150M deaths worldwide: https://slate.com/technology/2009/05/the-problems-with-the-w.... This estimate, supposedly, came from one of he most "informed" people in the world.

People just hate unknowns, and especially "unknown unknowns" and therefore latch onto the most dramatic damage estimates and act accordingly, often further exacerbating the situation.
Do comfort masks protect others from the droplets if you are sick?
There are two possibilities: either this is a storm to be weathered or an existential crisis.

In the former, cutting run-rate is important but you also need to look at the aftermath. Firing people now hurts you later on when the storm clears, whereas cutting Slack and switching to open source self-hosted alternatives is a cost savings that won't impede the future growth. Obviously cutting slack won't save a company with zero revenue.
They've put tariffs on raw materials and sub-assemblies, which is making it less economical to manufacture things in the US.
Eventually you need to save and share your files. It would be nice to not have to do that in the cloud, with corporate gate-keepers in the way.
Same thing happens today if you are a wage worker and your car breaks down and miss a shift with an unsympathetic boss.
The fundamental reason is that genetic diversity simply doesn't warrant it.

You may think we're different based on appearance; but the genetic material says otherwise. I might be genetically much closer to someone of different skin color and gender than to my closest geographical/ethnic/cultural neighbor who looks just like me, in terms of DNA variation.

Human beings altogether are not diverse at all genetically compared to most animal species. And if we were to use said differences to classify "races" among the human species, you can be absolutely sure skin color wouldn't correlate, nor would eye or hair color.

For better candidates, look at the HLA system for an idea of more relevant classification method (this one defines immuno-regulation profiles among us, and has been shown to drive sexual attraction towards opposites, hypothetically because it favors enhanced, combined immunity in the offspring).

But even taking such systems into account, human beings are really far from meeting any common threshold of differenciation worth being called "race" in the animal realm.
I think most people schedule downtime because this is a hard problem to solve gracefully. Every piece needs to support conditionals during the blue/green transition and db values complicate things more
That headline and they don't have a plot going back 5k years?

Could it be that people who used to buy bitcoins are now buying gold and that they are preventing the price correcting that every other metal is experiencing?
2 days ago, UK government was still recommending Ibuprofen. A few days before that, I had aready found some info that NSAIDs should be avoided if you have CoronaVirus, and you should be taking Paracetamol instead.

I’ll take my “influencers” any day, thank you very much!
It's COVID-19, not CORVID-19. And like your accuracy in spelling the disease, your facts are also poor and unsubstantiated.
Macbook Air has extremely bad cooling (on purpose, because it's thin and quiet). Don't expect it to boost well.
Interested in comparing with Postgraphile. Besides JVM vs TypeScript.
Wine + Linux and ReactOS would work equally well.

Wine would probably be easier to setup.
I gave up on my parents when they asked me to choose bathroom fittings. I was about 15.

I wanted a mixer tap, like the rest of the world has.

They said it wasn't traditional. They installed the traditionally British separate "freezing" and "cold then suddenly scalding" taps.

(At least they removed the carpet.)
Where do you want syntax highlighting to be visible?
Enough is Enough–Let it Expire
I'd love to give this another go, however, my experience with the first remarkable are reMarkably poor, and the new revision supposedly has the same display hardware

- the display is not very sharp, has poor contrast, and no active illumination

- also, despite there being no display illumination, reading in the sun was not possible, as it immediately resulted in the display bulging notably from the absorbed sun/heat.

- seriously buggy software

Let me know, if you have information that the new revision has improved on those aspects.
I don't think you've misunderstood, and I certainly didn't mean to imply that South Korea is all "sunshine and roses".

However, given that it seems that the American gov't hasn't earned its citizens trust after ~300 years, perhaps it's time to try something very different, or at least have an open mind to suggestions. Several countries now have demonstrated a range of options: China, SK, Taiwan, Singapore. Some are authoritarian, others are democratic. It may be time to stop arguing why each case won't work here and give it a chance.
I don't blame people when you see/hear contradictory things. People look at China, Japan, Taiwan, SK etc. everyone covered in masks and then newspapers like NYT and even the Surgeon General of the US coming out saying don't wear masks. So ordinary people scratching their head that who is right? So this is what happens really. There is none to "look up to"

At least the NYT is now backtracking but it's too little too late https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/17/opinion/coronavirus-face-...
I mean, if you're curious about differences in reaction I don't think you need to look any further than the handling and messaging going on. When Ebola was a concern Obama acted quickly to contain the threat and put a lot of resources into addressing the issue immediately - so much so that his administration was strongly criticized for wasting resources on a "non-issue".

This time around the outbreak originated in China that covered up the issue initially and ended up making the issue a lot worse than it could have been. Additionally, once everyone should've been paying attention on a global scale, Mr President down there in the US just tried to downplay the possible effects of a pandemic and it looks, at the moment, like he again just made everything worse.

Usually we can sit safe and confident at home that the government is overreacting to the situation and everything will be fine, this time around the authorities most globally visible (the US and China where the outbreak started) have obviously bungled their response and we're seeing a lot of panic because people don't have faith in the ability for the globe to respond in a unified manner.
This is why the lack of testing is so galling: more information would help everyone -- predictors and consumers of those predictions -- stay calmer.
Yeah, I'd seen that, great link! Waiting to see something like that with the mobile processors.
Businesses suffering usually effects investors more than employees. This is different.

It all has to do with how much cash you have to weather the storm. My firms investors wanted us to be cash efficient. Meaning we don’t have much of a safety net. This is the PE mindset IMO. As CFO one may think this is my decision, but really I advise to risk and the board ultimately decides.

Bigger companies who have hoarded cash since 2008 or before will survive but still lean down.

It’s possible banks will help companies like mine stay afloat. We have relationships in place and plan to pursue capital. Not sure how that will play out.
> If you offered to give Boeing $60B in exchange for 100% of the company, shareholders would reject it. Might as well take your chances that the company will survive. Fire all employees, eliminate all payroll for a year, and then try and re-start in 2021. If you ask too much, investors have other options.

Well then, the investors or government should just wait for the chapter 7 or chapter 11 filing if an offer is rejected. If one never comes, it was rightly rejected; and if one does - well, the party with the cash gets to set the terms.
Strawman. Saving and copying files are a standard end-user task that have little or nothing to do with your list.
With all the time I have now, I'm certainly planning on sprucing up the site (which is currently just a flat HTML file) in the near future. When I had client work, it was sort of a "the cobbler's children have no shoes" sort of thing - I couldn't justify spending much free time on it. Perhaps that was faulty reasoning in hindsight.
This was an Italian hospital, not an American one. Devices and drugs are dispensed at cost, or lower, and that number often comes out considerably less than the public list price.

Either which way, typical healthcare profiteering is not going to end well here. There is simply too much on the line to allow people to block or threaten progress.
Not in Spain unless you're walking your dog. ;-)

Stock market, corona virus, and fantasy
The US spends so much money on defense and making sure soldiers are prepared for war.

Right now, our soldiers in this war are our frontline medical staff. Nurses and doctors putting their lives on the line to help the ones in need.

But instead we have this :

Hospital Workers Make Masks From Office Supplies Amid U.S. Shortage (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-18/hospital-...)

Doctors in New York treating coronavirus patients reusing masks (https://www.businessinsider.com/doctors-new-york-treating-co...)
I don't think the commentary I've seen here is that much better than what I see e.g. on reddit. Maybe on average, people here are better at reading primary scientific sources, but that is still a small minority of people that either can or take the time to do so.
We have a bidet. We thought we had this whole toilet paper hoarding thing solved. Then today while Google contractors were installing fiber in our neighborhood they cut the water line that somehow was not marked on the street.
You can, but that's irritating to do. In the case of the Pi there is no barrel connector, it's a USB port. So your only option is the header, either directly into the holes if its unpopulated, or get a 40-way female header and solder to that, or go for a daughter board.
The problem is that the curves anyone today draws are guaranteed to be wrong. We have almost no idea about how transmissible the virus is, how many people have it, how many people die from it. Even worse, we have a lot of pieces of data that look like information but aren't. For the most obvious example, a lot of people are tempted to divide the count of known deaths by the count of known cases, and they calculate a number which looks like a mortality rate but is multiple times higher than any actual estimate of the mortality rate.

Any curve you see today which claims to outline the progress of COVID-19 (rather than the progress of COVID-19 testing and response) is extremely misleading.
Automated trading can cause one-time events or exacerbate a problem, but the larger market is driven by trader sentiment, and that is overwhelming negative right now.

The algorithm aren’t the reason Trump bumbling an interview shocked trader confidence.
