“nothing fancier than a dutch oven” .. lol

I can’t afford to live in an apartment with a large enough stove to accommodate any kind of standard dutch oven. That’s as an L6 engineering manager at a large profitable tech company. Even with high salary and equity, I am entirely priced out of apartments with “normal” kitchen space or appliances.

What I got from cars ads (and also YouTube videos) is the infotainment system seems like a flashy selling point for the car. And not any system is decent, even the expensive cars have shitty large touchscreen that's laggy or/and has too many layers to go through in its user interface. It's the worst car trends in recent years.

I will die on that hill but that "GDPR popup" is actually a pre-GDPR, obsolete cookie law popup that is not compliant with GDPR anymore (GDPR requires ability to deny cookies) and should be removed, as it amounts to nothing and is a pretty much a dark pattern.

Annoyingly, I would think it could proxy details that are reverse correlated. Colder means more gloves and fiddling with more clothes that cover the face, as an example.

Which is to say, I accept it is complicated. If it correlates with something, that is just another question. Not likely an answer in itself.

If you only need to glue code (house building) - no degree (or same self taught CS knowledge) is okay. However, most business problems will require some design choices beyond 3rd party vendor offers. Be it a library API design, software system architecture or something similar
No, I didn’t say that.

The US healthcare system is messed up in a lot of ways.

I’m just saying that many people who are uninsured at the emergency room will end up with a lower total than people who are insured with unsubsidized low quality insurance.
That has to be weighed against the impacts of cratering the economy, which we know to be a big deal.
They also happen to be the countries that have the most control over the epidemic.

Full disclosure: I work on Kogito. This is a "rethinking" of our traditional engines (Drools, jBPM, OptaPlanner) especially meant for containerized/k8s/lightweight deployment, with support for native compilation through Quarkus.

Also you may want to take a look at our fresh new editors: they are available as VSCode extension, Chrome extension and stand-alone via bpmn.new and dmn.new :)
Well, his argument is not about the number of chips but rather component origins. If you are about to pretend that you are in the 80s and you develop a computer in that time, you've got to use what was available. I argue that ZX Spectrum used custom-made ULA and you kind of emulate that approach to design with ATMEGA and he just laughs :)

The truth is that we live in magnificent times where there's a wide range of choice on how to do things and it is amazing.

> You can walk or jog at an easy effort for a long time and eventually your muscles will get tired and sore,

Perhaps this is because your lungs are getting tired--I wonder if there's lactate buildup in the lungs. I'm no biologist, but my understanding is our muscles need oxygen, to get this oxygen we need to do many things--breathe more air (v02 max), more efficiently distribute the oxygen through the body (heart rate and stroke volume), and finally the oxygen is delivered to the mitochondria in our muscles, so increased vascularity (vein size), would help.

Our muscles also need other supplies of energy--glycogen to produce atp or ketosis. I suspect if we're glycogen dependent we get tired a lot faster. There are many hyper marathon runners that are in ketosis, like Goggins:

> He was able to run 101 miles in 19 hours and 6 minutes—despite never having attempted to run a marathon previously

I think if the heart gets tired, you die, so the brain probably stops that from happening. You can die of exhaustion, many atheletes just die early from heart attacks.

Anecdotally, if I don't get lactate buildup in my muscles, since being in ketosis I don't really get tired. I went from a 5 minute bike being difficult, to a 1 hour bike and not getting tired near the end.

I say this as someone who has maxed out his FEC contributions to Senator Sanders, and have also contributed heavily to a PAC that supports Medicare For All:

Based on primary returns, the electorate is still selfish and not willing to support a candidate who supports Medicare For All. The situation must deteriorate much further before the path to universal healthcare becomes unavoidable.

Based on exit polls, it’s clear the 65+ cohort is who is holding this up (although the 30-44 age cohort is culpable to a lesser extent, at least in the Dem primary).

Disclaimer: I received a few more years with my Mom than I otherwise would have because of the ACA. Universal healthcare is my hill to die on, most especially for my kids.

No, I'm giving you honest answers to your questions. Just because I have not gone back to explore a broken feature to see if it is no longer broken doesn't make me a troll.

But my point stands even if display:table works nowadays. The problem is not what you have to type in order to specify that some piece of markup should be displayed as a table even though it is not semantically a table. What matters is how much you have to type, and whether you have to redundantly specify that a table is for display only on every row and cell. To use display:table you also have to specify display:table-row and display:table-cell, and you have to do it again and again and again and again even though all this information is redundant and only needs to be specified once at the top level. There is absolutely no rational justification for this. It would be as if you had to specify the type of a variable in C not just when it was declared, but again every single time you referenced it.

Supposedly your smart phone and smart TV are not passively listening to your offline conversations. That's only done on a targeted basis to people who are being monitored. Your location history however is being passively tracked.

Not defending it, but your smart phone is not quite as bad as Alexa. At least for the moment.
To me this sounds like buying fake watches on the street in Thailand.

Assume 8 SCOTUS justices. How to avoid Bush vs. Gore and secure voting machines?
Assume

1. A US Supreme Court Justice dies and a replacement is not confirmed before November.

2. A few US states like Florida have a sizable number of elderly registered voters die before November.

3. A state actor is motivated to tamper with voting machine software in a way that is:

- Obvious to Democrats who are biased to believe that Russia wants to help Trump win.

- Invisible to Republicans who are biased to believe this "hacking" is a hoax by Democrats.

In a world of "filter-bubbles" and with current vulnerabilities of vote-counting software[1], can we design a system which can prevent a division in belief in the legitimacy of the 2020 election?

Lab test are particularly baffling to me. Except strangely, if buying lab tests without insurance (and without a doctor) using a company like https://www.directlabs.com you can get a panel of 100 tests for $150-300 (cholesterol panel, vitamins, thyroid, testosterone, etc - the whole works).

Yet when my doctor refers me to a lab for 1 or 2 specific tests, each individual test is billed at $150+ with a $60 copay paid to the lab.

With lab tests in particular, it’s sometimes cheaper to buy them without going through a doctor / without insurance.

Er, don't Haskell's head and (!!) functions default to throwing an exception?

Prelude> head []
*** Exception: Prelude.head: empty list

I don't think Haskell is really different from Rust in this respect. Both have a wrapper type for optional values with good syntax, but in both, there's still some syntax so common operations sometimes choose to skip it.

In fact, Hoogle doesn't seem to find me a function like Rust's .get() in the standard library, just a handful of third-party packages: https://hoogle.haskell.org/?hoogle=%5Ba%5D+-%3E+Int+-%3E+May...

Ask HN: A Fault-Tolerant Internet (Or Untangling the Cybernetic Supply Chain)
In many parts of the world internet access (and indirectly computer/phone login) depends on a very long trail that might be severed by power failure or crisis in intermediate countries. Offshore hosting also obscures what files or certificates might become unreachable. What would it take for a country/state/city to set up their internet infrastructure and computer software to keep working as locally as possible? Take into account that the very process of development and deployment as we know it is reliant on the internet working as intended (for software access, programming, hardware logistics, etc).

Bootstrapping of a country's communication system sounds nightmarish enough, but it's flat out impossible if all the software and hardware has built-in assumptions about what should be able to access on the other side of the world. I reckon it's no good to spoof a remote server location without the corresponding information and credentials. What will software updated look like when security certificates are out of reach?

Even the development and deployment of such contingencies is at risk. Worldwide, software developers rely on online resources and services in their usual workflow (hosting, version control, plugins, testing, coordination efforts, documentation, good ol' copy-pasting, Stack Overflow, etc). And even taking software for granted, hardware guys would need to deploy the changes in logistical darkness if done post hoc. Implementing this could be incredibly costly and disruptive for any nation, but if it is imperative the sooner the better. IT staff would get overwhelmed one way or the other, preventing or fixing it. And all of this working against unknown deadlines, utilizing services that might go offline at any time because of obscure chains of dependencies. Y2K sounds like a walk in the park all of a sudden.

So when does push come to shove? Should any country worry about the possibility of going offline? Can anything even be done to mitigate it?

I do find it ridiculous that we have ignored practical and common sense measures to protect the most at risk, and instead have decided fo trash our entire way of life and the economy along with it. In the future this will be looked back upon as one of the great blunders in history.
I think there's a lot of good things that can come out of this. Not just healthcare concerns.

It feels like covid might be able to push public opinion on many matters beyond the local minima.

> You know what causes reduced lung functionality in adults?

Vaping. I see most of the young adults doing this. Its probably why they're having the higher hospitalization rates with coronavirus. They already have lung damage.
Mobile browsers are neutered but still way ahead of native apps on this spectrum.
We've told our phones and computers to lock us out if anything feels off.
In doubt, they validate logins against international servers, but in absence of this we have a validation stalemate.
An authentication breakdown would be specially puzzling for non-technical people.
Emergency personnel might find themselves shouting at very expensive bricks if authentication goes awry, and not even knowing why.
I fear officials and first responders might lose access even to their institution's intranet resources because their browsers stored all their passwords.
Most people don't remember anyone's cellphone, as they use messaging apps that leverage account contacts or the like.
So even if local cellular networks still worked untroubled in an internet blackout, I don't think anyone who is busy in the front-line took the precaution of printing out their coworkers' phone numbers.
Governments instruct their populace remotely, and even radio and TV broadcasting depends on the people who operate it having internet access.
Big services like GitHub, Gmail, etc, have regional hubs that serve content locally, but I fear that they rely on centralized servers for login auth anyways and cannot possibly be functional in a vacuum.

Let's use WhatsApp as an example. People rely heavily on it, and let's say we try to make it keep working as smoothly as possible to avoid disruptions in response work.
Firstly, it should keep working as usual, but in lack of a proper connection it should default to a local server that you somehow set up almost overnight (let's take that for granted).
Your first choice could be to convince Facebook to implement the changes themselves while everything still works, and blindly trust your country to manage delicate conversations.
If they don't, you need to tell thousands of non-technical people who already have enough work on their hands how to manually install non-store apps.
Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc, might help preemptively rolling out updates weakening authentication and security, but that's a very dangerous thought if it's done when not absolutely necessary.
Maybe simply send notifications on how to proceed.
Even if a nation instructs their populace to install a preexisting p2p app, can you guarantee the country's intranet will be still standing?
Properties served by land lines and cellular service just aren't potential (highly profitable) customers for oneweb. That's ok, there are plenty of other customers. Ships, air planes, the military, even more remote places, backbone for remote cell towers, and so on.

It is very relevant, if the business is solid they should be able to attract more investment in the short term.
Sanderite Medicare for All is a subset of Universal Healthcare. Please stop pretending they see the same thing.
I would suggest epidemiologists provide some set of problems all this useless but willing pile of software engineers could apply themselves to. For example, scraping data from mismatched data sources or implementing specific hypothetical models. Even if it's only marginally useful, it would give them something to do other then misinformation.
> In Germany you are required by law to have it.

Obama basically made this happen, but the net result was that all of healthy young adults (the kind that least needed insurance) were forced to start paying for insurance to subsidize the unhealthy older adults (or pay a penalty).

So basically it was just a disguised tax targeting the young and healthy.
This is straight from Saussure, and then Chomsky. You can read his first course in linguistics [1].

It was highly disputed in the 1800s.

I'm not an expert, but:

> Uh, what? How do you think we got more than one language in the first place?

We would compete for resources, new languages would be created rapidly from old languages instead of the gradual change we're seeing in the last 4000 years.

> How do you think we have entire language families with mutually-unintelligable members?

All language, like I said, is composed of many -emes. Chomsky's big discovery was that you can't seaparate syntax and semantics when it comes to any language.

> Or what about dialectal continuums? If anything, I would posit that we are closer to your statement now than at any other time, because the printing press calcified spelling -- which could vary quite a bit in the time of scribes. And radio and TV and the Internet have started spreading linguistic innovation faster.

This is the standard intuitive view with when one has no evidence. There is strong evidence to suggest that it is the individuals who mispronounce written words who cause this rapid change in language--they are mispronounced and then subsequently miswritten, and then their semantics are subsequently misinterpreted, so their syntax and semantics slowly change in this fashion.

Saussure, the founder of the modern linguistic tradition, has this all outlined in his book [1]. He outlines your view, and then shows you that it is in fact not true.

If you read the article, it seems like it has both of those features, though I'm not sure what exactly you mean by "UDP relay".
Similar to Germany here: Insurance costs around € 100 per month per adult, kids under 18 are free. If you have a low income (below roughly 40k per year) you effectively pay less all the way down to zero (if your income is below about 14k per year), because the government pays part of your premium for you.

Having completed most of CS undergrad, I can think of a reason that would discourage people to transfer into CS. Programming assignments usually take the most time to complete by far. As much as half of that time is wasted trying to decipher ambiguous requirements, unclear source code, or some other symptom of careless design and what seems like a total disregard for the student's time.
Its similar on Android. On my pixel, I'll often encounter this when trying to start music playin. Eg, "OK Google, open Spotify", only to have it reply "you need to unlock your phone for that".
