Thank you.

I'll ask my rheumatologist about increasing the dose. In case I get infected, have trouble breathing, and can't get hospital care.
Agreed, this has been my experience as well.
I can’t understand why you’re downvoted, except hn clearly hates ellipses...
How does that work? Isn't the senate elected?

Great article, thank you! A suggestion: The code examples were somewhat hard to read. Perhaps you could add syntax highlighting (e.g. via prism or highlight.js).
My opinion is that past a certain threshold, it really doesn't matter. Knowing what to write is almost always more of a challenge than actually writing it. In most cases you will get better returns by finding ways to distill your thoughts more efficiently.

How exactly you do that... I'm not sure. But I think it's true.
They'll likely feel differently when their lawyers figure out the ever-growing odds of an infected person coming to work, exposing everyone, and forcing everyone in the office into unplanned self-quarantine.

I used to also agree that all the arguments against buybacks apply to dividends, but I've since changed my mind. On the surface level, they are identical → cash is transferred from company to shareholders.

But the way the cash is transferred matters, and it has second order effects. Specifically, as it impacts stock options.

Executives tend to be compensated with options. The more the stock goes up, the richer they get. Distributing $X in dividends should provide an equal total return to the average shareholder as spending $X on a buyback, but that buyback will do it by pushing up the share price.

As the share price goes up more and more, execs with options have disproportionately more to gain than the average shareholder. They have a leveraged exposure to the price!

The article neglects to mention that the bill already passed the democratic house without much debate.

The President of the United States wants the Senate bill to remove powers given to the executive branch, because he's convinced they were used against him. Yes, that's right, the president of the United States wants the Senate to amend the bill to reduce the power of the executive branch.

In other words, by characterizing this bill as something Senate republicans are trying to do to increase the power of the federal government, the article neglects to mention that (a) the bill has already passed the Democrat-led house (sponsored by Adam Schiff, BTW) and (b) that the head of the Republican party, the POTUS, wants more restrictions on the powers they're giving to him. That would certainly change the headline, but wouldn't satisfy people's republican bashing appetite.

Okay thanks for the insights. Learning curve may reduce the available engineers (at least for a bit) but my concern is about whether the PL's premises are holding up in real world usage, which it sounds like (for you and other commenters) it has.

Interesting, I'd like to see how the indie apps compete against the big guys like Doordash and Uber Eats, especially now during this shutdown. What is your biggest bottleneck, background checks and driver license verification? Bank accounts?

Let me know if you want an extra hand from a remote worker, I used to have to do tech support/emails for my startup, too. All while having a day job so I can understand how overwhelming coming home to 77 unread emails while staring at a backlog of unresolved tickets can be.
Switch to an ortholinear keyboard like [the Preonic from OLKB][1]

These designs reduce motion (speed) and are uniformly laid out (accuracy) which is crucial because typing faster alone is not enough

WFLA NOW: Clearwater Beach packed amid 'social distancing' for coronavirus
Tell HN: Support your health care providers
for many of us in areas of emerging outbreaks (seattle, NYC, bay area, many european countries), the next wave of the virus will be a complete overwhelming of healthcare workers. depending on the region, this is a few weeks, or a few days, from happening.

please make efforts to support your healthcare providers at this time. in italy, 9% of all diagnosed cases are healthcare workers [0]

If you have access to protective equipment (PPE) -- N95 masks, gloves, gowns, face shields, etc -- or ventilators or other breathing devices, please consider donating them to your local hospital. if you are sheltering in place, the likelihood that this equipment benefits you is low. the likelihood it benefits healthcare providers and the patients they treat is 100%

even now, hospitals in regions with few cases are overwhelmed and short of equipment [1]. some have only a week of inventory, even with single-digit cases [2].

in the next few weeks doctors and nurses around the world will work round the clock, be exposed to very high levels of a deadly virus, have to decide who lives and who dies, watch their colleagues get sick, be exposed to a lot of death, uncertainty, pressure, etc. please support them

im not an expert but based on conversations with drs, below are a few recommendations. if you are a physician or have talked to physicians treating these patients, please add your suggestions

what can help:

* STAY HOME and get your friends to stay home
* if you have stockpiled protective equipment please CONSIDER DONATING them to your healthcare providers
* if you know physicians, call them and see what you can do to help. make them dinner. order groceries for them. offer to take care of their kids. etc

Some totalitarian capabilities of government are not excessive? No, this is wrong.
^^^^^^^

This, right here. The entire world is struggling to get enough testing supplies. Testing somebody who's experiencing mild symptoms takes away from testing cases that are much more important - because part of what is happening right now is that everybody with a light fever is all "I GOT THE COVIDS" and wants a test.

Fact of the matter: We don't have enough tests, worldwide. We can't produce them fast enough. We need to triage.
That's what we'd think intuitively, but not what's demonstrated empirically in reality, history.

It seems that at some point, it takes more of us to crack the same amount of "scientific difficulty" as it were — hard to be a lone genius typically these days.

I don't know. But you definitely speak of a bias that I had and got almost unequivocally debunked by a colder, more statistical (retrospective, empirical) than logical perspective (models, thought experiment). I personally trust the former more ('facts' in layman terms).
No, this is perfect opportunity for citizens to observe totalitarian capabilities of governments and establish a militia for armed protest. Totalitarian governments come by elections and go away with blood.
How Long Will the Coronavirus Outbreak and Shutdown Last?
If you're really desperate for a test go to the hospital and say you feel breathless. Dyspnoea is a subjective symptom but no doctor worth it's salt would just ignore it without investigating further.
Hmm. I'll have to look in to that. Thanks. :-/
...I mean that is true of a lot of apps on the App Store right now, I don't think developers are under any impression that they have to make every app open source.

Billions will be poured into the SBA, so they can claim billions went to small businesses, but that money will all be given to businesses with political connections.

And they will never mention those thousands of small businesses you reference that will go under, just like politicians never once spoke of American's who lost their homes and became homeless, instead mentioning only the banks problems.

Means testing would take too long. Don't be concerned that rich people get it too.

2. Rich people just took a 20+ percent haircut, they did and are paying for it in decreased economic activity
Conflating buy backs with dividends is hazardous reasoning.

Dividends are direct payments to investors who will presumably stay investors — the buy back is a ‘buy out’ of existing shareholders.

There are quite a few more reasons a buy back is different from a dividend - but probably the most interesting bit is this: for a massive company with limited places to compound their retained earnings, by buying back stock the company pays all the dividends it would pay in perpetuity immediately in that instant. This is all fine and sometimes prudent in a net present value equation.... as long as the cash flows remain consistent*

It's not irresponsible of some consumers to not have three to six of months of savings. See my other comment on this thought: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22588933
I think his point is that buybacks should be no more relevant than dividends. This pop-culture meme that "dividends are irrelevant" is not unique to dividends at all.

The recommendation against using S3 for static hosting is that there are much better alternatives outside of AWS. The dev experience you get with Netlify and Zeit will almost certainly never be possible with AWS.
In Raku those things are also separate.

1. Polymorphism

class Example {
method be-nice () {
'be nice'
}
}

class Bill-and-Ted is Example {
method be-nice () {
'be excellent to each other'
}
}

2. Composition

role Salaried {
has $.salary;
}

role Employee {
has $.title;
}

class Manager does Employee does Salaried {}

3. Delegation

class Price {
has $.cost;
}

class Product {
has Price $.inner handles( 'price' => 'cost' );
}

Any call to the `.price()` method on `Product` will delegate to the `.cost()` method on the inner object.
how much international bandwidth are you getting now though? when i lived in auckland more than a decade ago, the local bandwidth was rather irrelevant to me, as most of the websites that i needed to access were overseas and i paid about a dollar per GB for that.

a fast local internet is useful mostly for local streaming services. (does youtube count as local in NZ now?)
You can file for the extension without filing your taxes. If it is a Roth IRA, you can remove the contributions at anytime penalty free (if you decide you didn't want to contribute the full $6000 amount for 2019). If it's a traditional IRA contribution, there is some complexity unfortunately. Also some complexity if you're at an income level where you're doing a "backdoor Roth", where you fully fund the IRA and then immediately convert to a Roth.

One of the things that helped me the most was moving to the Dvorak keyboard. Dvorak lets me type at a higher speed, with less mistakes, and most important of all: with no hand cramping.

As for public/other computers that I don't get to configure: I found that I never really lost any speed on Qwerty. Whether that's the norm or I got lucky, I am not sure. Also, I find Dvorak to be available on most systems where the user can configure their input settings. Windows, Mac, and most Linux has Dvorak support built-in that are as easy to add as if you were adding another locale's keyboard layout.
True. This is why I don't install any apps. And you would think a company who's business model revolves around open source would be more likely to open source their app.
Can't agree on the NLB part. Everyone should be using ALB by default, and only reach for NLB in very specific cases (you'll know when), in my humble opinion having worked with AWS for 8 years and being a certified architect.

Enable the dropping of invalid headers, enable HTTP/2, let the ALB terminate the TLS, and you'll see benefits even if your full backend isn't HTTP/2 enabled and you'll have eliminated a whole range of other headaches you no longer need to manage. It's one of the most reliable services AWS has.

Java 14 / JDK 14: General Availability
That's not really an answer. I understand that some people want to freeze in time and having problems jumping from 11 to 17 version, but I don't understand why do they want that. Is there any compatibility issues preventing use of Java 13, for example? I understand that migration path for Java 9 was not very clear because of modules, but that's not the case for Java 11.
I'd alert the local health authorities to the situation. They need to be aware of companies blatantly disregarding the health of their workers and their community. Perhaps there's nothing they can do about it - yet. But they can use the data to perhaps escalate the issue over the coming weeks as the situation gets more dire.
Приветствую, товарищ.
You can sense the irony there.
This is not clear. Right now we need lockdown because:

a) We have a large number of infected people (> 10,000) and have no idea who or where they are, because testing sucks.

b) If exponential growth continues (and it would, because we can't isolate all the people who are sick right now), we'll overwhelm hospital facilities and the fatality rate will hit 5% instead of <1%.

BUT

As soon as we clear out a), that kills b) too -- in South Korea they're doing effective contact tracing, testing, and isolation because they have few enough cases. Once we bend the knee of the growth curve, once we get get R0 below 1, we'll have exponential drop-off instead of growth. In 8 weeks, with few enough active cases and robust testing infrastructure, we'll be able to do what China has started doing, and what SK has been doing all along.

Of course, that's assuming we get our act together on lockdown & testing infrastructure. But if we do, we could be out of lockdown by June.

All these folks saying "we need to flatten the curve so that everyone gets it over 41 years!" are extrapolating the wrong data points...

The only reason I eat out is for the environment and to get me out of the house. I never did understand paying full price for takeout.

I genuinely enjoy cooking, it is what I do with the extra time I would otherwise be spent commuting.

Luckily, lots of people are not like me and cannot cook if their life depended on it. I am hoping they can keep the local restaurants in business!

I like the idea of buying myself gift cards at local restaurants. Its one way to help them.
I mean, not really, unless you are comparing to McDonald's.
True. But that would imply less work done for them. Not their interest.

Yuck, leadership at its worst. It's tough to shut down factories - restarts are sensitive - so it makes sense to allow a skeleton crew. That's not what's happening. This looks like obvious local corruption in the face of a public health crisis. Not thrilled to be "shelter at home-d" next to these pricks with a wife who works at an area hospital and someone elderly at home: this is quite the FU to the community that keeps bailing this government-funded company out.

I won't make any claims of my own, but according to WHO, N95 gives effective protection from the virus.

It's being widely used around infected patients all over the world.

It seems to me that if it wasn't effective we should have seen a very big increase of positive cases in the population of health care providers.
This "study" for sure doesn t prove anything. And fore sure not a bias. How do you know that the other search engine are not bias either?

Context here matters. Why are you trying to increase your typing speed?

Do you hunt and peck, and you want to type faster? Do you feel you "don't type very fast," compared to some kind of standard? Are you competing in typing competitions?

If you hunt and peck, your best course of action is to break your habit and learn to type on homerow keys.

If you feel you don't type fast enough using homerow keys, your best bet is just to type more. Perhaps think out a sentence, then test yourself for how fast you can type it versus just typing things off the cuff. I find that when I know what I want to type (e.g. I know a sentence I want to say), I can type blazingly fast, versus typing words as they come out of my brain, which is much slower.
Note: there's a PR in for stabilisation for the requisite macro feature, and it looks like it's going to be merged soon.
No, it's correct. These are powers that already exist. The bill is to renew it. Parts were to expire; the bill extends them. That did not pass yet, but they did vote to keep them for a few months.

If the headline is inapt, it's in implying that the bill is something new. And that this is happening now to hide it, rather than because the existing bill's sunset clauses are coming up.
Isn't that a call you make when you sign on as a contractor though? At least at my company, contractors make a boatload more money, with the provision that you don't get any of the normal benefits provided by the company.
If you upgrade, jump directly to Java 11. That may or may not be easy. But it was easy for me.

I learned basic touch typing from Mavis beacon. It would show you how to place your hands on the keyboard as you type which the bare minimum feature I consider when searching for typing software to recommend. Right now, It doesn't work properly on windows 10 because it is too old.

There is also https://www.typingclub.com/ which is also a good site but it is riddled by ads (removable by paying of course) and requires you to create an account.

I wish if there was an open-source alternative which is either a terminal or web-based version that also shows how to place hands on the keyboard.
So true ... let's give praise where praise is due even if we're not fans of an individual or organization. Kudos Facebook (for this policy/action). I also appreciate articles that provide a bit of humor - the sentence "In an effort to create social distancing, which can help prevent the spread of COVID-19, the illness caused by the virus, Facebook has also asked its Seattle and Bay Area employees to work from home if they are able and banned social visitors to its offices" made me laugh because Facebook is promoting social distancing (next they'll recommend you delete your account).
