The gold standard of keyboard discoverability and low cognitive load has to be Microsoft office suite. The Alt key reveals all the shortcuts on screen, and as you type them the context changes to the sub menu you've selected. It's an astonishingly effective and useful accessibility feature. I wish this WAS the standard.

I would rather thus forum was discussing how to make sure politicians can’t do something like this.

By the way social guarantees for citizens is one way of doing it; because having more money usually implies having more time to contemplate about the idiocy of their own government and thus being motivated to change it.
Usually it means you graduated with an accredited Engineering degree from university, and you are licensed by the regulatory body in your province to practice engineering. The laws differ from one province to another regarding what constitutes an Engineer.
Even more tragically, it's destroying both the Israeli people doing the shooting and the Palestinian people who are the victims, but it's not touching those who are setting the policies which lead to that situation nearly as viscerally.

It's unprecedented and I tend to agree with you that at some point the economic carnage is going to force alternatives, but right now that's the plan. Not the plan they're telling you publicly, but the real one they're planning for and reacting to.

At the end of the day if that's the plan you'll go along with it because the men with guns will make you.

As I've commented elsewhere, an approach using contact-tracing via app and GPS data, backed by widespread testing (millions per week) and small-scale isolation of affected, along the lines of China or South Korea, seems to be more effective.

Facebook executives allegedly ‘knew for years’ about misleading metric
How many labs can an Uni build to accept all the silverspoons? A lot of money end up not in the common pool of resources but are pocketed in different ways by the staff and board. This myth is becoming trite already. The rich pay their way in and not necessarily for the education but for the credentials.
Those are different things. The holocaust should never be forgotten because of the huge number of innocent lives that were lost in that monstrosity. It has zero relation with the current Israel government (which didn't even exist at that time), and remembering it should help to avoid history to repeat. Hopefully.
The current attitude of Israel government against Palestine is a whole different thing;
claiming that Israel today is de facto a rogue terrorist nation, wrt Palestine, should have zero relation on our feelings about the holocaust.
The point is that they will always attempt to conveniently dismiss any criticism as antisemitic, while we're actually talking about Israel government, not people.
In fact, I can at the same time deeply hate Israel government for what they do against Palestinians and cry every time I see the images from what those poor prisoners had to suffer in nazi lager camps during WWII.

> Eviction/foreclosure bans have in many places been adopted along with shelter-in-place orders.

They are simply pausing evictions. So, you lose your job due to the pandemic and as soon as it has improved then you still get kicked out. I don't think that is much relief, especially if there is another wave.

Here is the order:

Need a degree from an accredited school in engineering + pass the engineering licensing requirements. In Ontario, where I live, that means passing an ethics exam + some years of work that is overseen by someone with a P.Eng. The challenge in software is usually the last part.
Any criticism of Israel must be dismissed, and authors labeled as antisemitic.
While the holocaust did give the Israeli project one last political boost, I think the creation of Israel was not because of it but despite it. The tragic loss of millions of potential citizens had a significant impact on the demographic feasibility of the country. Ben-Gurion himself says:
"For many of us, anti-Semitic feeling had little to do with our dedication [to Zionism]. I personally never suffered anti-Semitic persecution. Płońsk was remarkably free of it ... Nevertheless, and I think this very significant, it was Płońsk that sent the highest proportion of Jews to Eretz Israel from any town in Poland of comparable size."

I mean the Balfour declaration was in 1917. Herzl's "a land without a people for a people without a land" only makes sense if you read it through the eyes of a colonial European.

in reaction to the united nations partition plan ben-Gurion says:
"The total population of the Jewish State at the time of its establishment will be about one million, including almost 40% non-Jews. Such a [population] composition does not provide a stable basis for a Jewish State. This [demographic] fact must be viewed in all its clarity and acuteness. With such a [population] composition, there cannot even be absolute certainty that control will remain in the hands of the Jewish majority... There can be no stable and strong Jewish state so long as it has a Jewish majority of only 60%"

a democratic and Jewish Israel was and still is impossible without the expulsion (ethnic cleansing*) of a major part of its Arab population. (regardless of the incompetence of the Arab leaders and their stupid war)

I would argue that this is not really unexpected from a country built on Deir Yassine, king David's bombing and the assassination of a UN negotiator. Acts committed by the Irgun, which was the political predecessor of Israel's right-wing Herut (or "Freedom") party, which led to today's Likud the current ruling party.

This shows the updated (March 19) official Belgian treatment guidelines for COVID19 and comparison with treatment guidelines for France,Belgium,Switzerland,Netherlands.

Notably it shows now the addition of Azithromicyn as an addition to Chloroquine/Hydroxichloroquine (cf the controversial French study source: https://www.mediterranee-infection.com/wp-content/uploads/20...).

It's also clearly indicated that Remdesivir is now in short supply: " At this moment very restricted availability of remdesivir (long delay for supply) and very strict criteria released by Gilead "

France is still not considering hydroxichloroquine/chloroquine at this point officially for some strange reason.

Also this line seems important : " Lopinavir/ritonavir can still be therefore considered a second choice for the moment, when hydroxychloroquine is contraindicated, but only if this treatment could be administered early in the course of the disease (within 10 days after symptoms onset). We consider this treatment as futile if administered later "

So they seem to think Lopinavir/ritonavir is futile is not administered early.

And last but not least and in line with several hackernews threads. They do seem to somewhat advice physicians to possibly switch medications of infected patients with High Blood Pressure and ACE inhibitors/ARBs to an equivalent therapy.

> we've been penalizing almost every coronavirus story

Only you know the actual volume of coronavirus-related stories, and whether leaving them as-is would cover the entire top 10, entire first page, or entire first 3 pages.

However IMO the adjustment, or "penalization," being applied seems too severe. CV is obviously the most important news topic in the world right now, the situation changes extremely rapidly, making the comments section, with contributors from around the globe, highly relevant and informative. My opinion is that up-to-date CV-related content on HN has been difficult to find, and the lack of such, in favor of random, often whimsical topics, trivializes HN.

As I write this, the only CV-connected stories on page 1 are at #19: "Chloroquine, past and present" and at #28: "State projections for Covid-19." While its understandable not wanting HN to be totally dominated by CV, I think there is a better balance to be had.
Is it on the FDA website somewhere?
The Imperial study estimated a need for 100k ventilator intensive care beds at peak in the UK, currently there are 5k beds, and they’ve managed to find another 5k ventilators using spares and old models. The government is planning on using ventilator technicians (usually 1 per bed) to manage many beds, with newly trained junior staff managing each bed. So assuming no treatment breakthrough they will need something on the order of a ten fold increase in ventilators and a 20 fold increase in staff numbers, on current trajectories within a month or two, and with full suppression maybe in the Autumn.
The great thing is we don’t need to guess about this! Firefox and Chrome have user telemetry showing that FTP is barely ever used.

I haven't used Windows Server since 2012R2 was the new hotness (the product that ran on it has since been ported to dotnet core and containerized) so maybe that explains my differing experience.
We’re still using Slack, only now we use the audio calls and screen sharing.

Without Urgent Action, Coronavirus Could Overwhelm U.S., Estimates Say

So Granicus posts online streaming video of every gov agency in the country basically. They have their own custom hardware to do this too that sites inside of gov datacenters it seems.

This is a 100% serious question: I see that your statement is simply stated (and it's a fair representation of what China is saying as of /right now/), but I get the feeling you either agree with it and are applauding China, or are pointing out how ludicrous / absurd such a position is.

For the tone-impaired amongst us, if you are taking one of the positions, can you please help this simpleton understand what you think of China's proclamation?

I ask because I really don't know what most people think these days about the news coming out of China.

Sincere thanks.

100% agree - I remember in 2008 being not a fan of the Mac, and then being taught how TIGHT their keyboard shortcut integration was across the system, how you could customize any menu with shortcuts, how they exposed their menus programmatically - that stuff blew my mind about how much the OS cared about the user.

Havent seen nearly as much stuff in OS X these days that makes me think the same.

What’s the alternative shooting them dead? Let’s not pretend that this is a quiet civil rights protest, the throwing of grenades, Molotov cocktails and the planting of IEDs at the border fence happens during it.

Injuries takes a less of a political toll both nationally and internationally than fatalities.

While it’s easy to say don’t shoot at all you can’t avoid the fact that a portion of those which get too close and are shot do have quite hostile intentions.

The issue with conflicts like these is thinking that there is a simple solution and that is for one side to stop.

The Israeli public will not tolerate casualties on their side which works both ways as it grants political will for things like the withdrawal form Lebanon and the disengagement from Gaza, however it also leads to policies like this as well as the policies of Targeted Killings that were imposed initially by the Rabin administration as a low intensity solution to the rabid wave of suicide bombing across Israel.

As long as there won’t be a sufficient political will on both sides to halt all hostilities for normalization to be possible there isn’t going to be a resolution to this conflict.
China effectively let everyone catch the disease so that now everyone is either immune or dead.
Why did it never go anywhere?
It perhaps rarely makes sense, but not 100% never. You might at some point in your life have a situation where you want to fold an operator with short-circuiting behavior left-associatedly over a list (thus, with later elements of the list controlling whether short-circuiting happens skipping evaluation of-and-concerning earlier elements of the list). In this case, foldl is the way to go. foldl' can't execute the desired short-circuiting, and foldr can but only in the other direction, of right-associated bundling with earlier elements of the list controlling the short-circuiting of-and-concerning later elements of the list.

If there's ever a situation where you want to reverse a list and then foldr over it, taking advantage of the short-circuiting foldr allows, well, that reverse and then foldr is essentially the definition of foldl, have at it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this seems to run unit tests on the embedded target. Why?

In the embedded space I've found unit tests to mostly be useful for testing logic and algorithms but not terribly useful for testing hardware integration, which is where all the really painful and tedious problems happen. If the unit test passes on the board but fails on your host it's likely due to a compiler bug or a bug in the MCU, and you usually just work around those.

What would be more interesting is creating an environment to support manual and automated integration and system-level testing. I haven't seen such a system in practice because such systems require a very lengthy and painful characterization of the system under test. They also require hardware support, meaning a tool needs to be integrated with the software to interface with and measure the output of the system under test. These can range from simple I2c-based GPIO expanders for monitoring and controlling IO lines to pressure and flow meters for pneumatic measurements, or current probes for instantaneous and aggregate power draw measurements. This is more like laboratory automation so I think a lot of software people try to avoid doing these things.

Do you have any plans to implement APIs that might enable development of such a system in the future?

After releasing QUBES, my first "commercial" game, I got about the offers from publishers (I guess) offering to promote my game for a fee. Is it the way to go if I want to make some money with it? I got some free credits on Google Ad and I'm running a small campaign trying to gather players. After 3 weeks I got about 300 installations, I feel this is a very small number. People tell me they like the game, some complained about the amount of ads which I now reduced, but besides that, I don't know how to get more people to play it.
This is untrue. Tokyo Metro is one of the largest systems by ridership in the world, and operates at a profit. It does have sizable capital investments that take years to pay down.

This also completely ignores the halo effects of these systems that vastly increase the economic output of the region. This is why it is often logical for the state to pay for the system, since the costs are centralized and the profits are distributed.
