Ok it's not wrong from a very technical sense for the mona lisa. I obviously meant forgery, where you claim the painting is an actual mona lisa... but Who cares? That's not my point.

My point is what you're doing is wrong and you know it on some level.
Languages evolve, and changes need to be made.

Many languages didn't support "arrow functions" AKA lambdas until fairly recently. Seeing how one would go about making large changes to the language is a good lesson to learn. One could argue that we should have known superclasses were going to be supported from the beginning, and I'd agree, hindsight is always 20:20.

The GP is presumably referring to the Ghana and Mali Empires, which did arise in large part through ironworking, and then declined due to internal strife some time before European colonialism took off in the region (the former empire collapsed centuries before the Europeans arrived).
I am a little confused. What is being reverse engineered here? References include MAME which emulates the game entirely and documents it well.
Depends on what IDE you use. Webstorm pushes even my octacore pretty well. Sure, some people prefer to work like it's still 60s tho.
You may not have intended it, but this level of ad-hominem and dismissive response is exactly what I'm referring to. Ignoring the fact that my post had nothing to do with statements requiring Expert background, (which you know absolutely nothing about whether I have or not) I can assure you the majority of individuals here encouraging panic have what you seek. Once again, the hypocrisy here is laughable.

HackerNews used to pride itself in being better than this. YOU are not helping.
If my new employer bails, I might consider this. But I would probably try to find a new new job before then. Also, my boss wanted me to confirm 3 times what my last day would be, because, once he put it in the system, his hands were tied. I guess the LDO (Last day of office) process is pretty streamlined to tie up all the loose ends: halting pay checks, revoking unvested RSUs, stopping medical benefits, revoking user entitlements, etc.
Ah that sounds rough! The contractors at my company aren't from agencies, they get paid more in place of getting company benefits. Didn't realise there were other kinds - Thanks for explaining!

This is not an area I'm in a lot, so I may be wrong, the cloudflare workers page GP mentioned says that you only get 10ms CPU time per request (or 50ms with the paid plan). I'm assuming lambda etc have similar limits. So presumably anything that takes longer than 10/50ms.

> Surgical masks are useless for protecting the wearer from infected people

They are not useless for protecting the wearer, and this anti-vaxer level dangerous misinformation needs to stop. It's like saying condoms are useless for protecting the wearer from HIV because they sometimes break.

The lie that masks don't work was spread because there weren't enough masks. Sad that people are still falling for it/spreading it.

I have the timeout set to 10 seconds which certainly helps, I think the issue is how gunicorn/gevent handle web requests. I think each request spawns a new redis connection, and as far as I can see there is no global pool I can use :(

I don't mind naming one particularly gross one - Knightscope is busy spamming about how "Security robots are immune from disease and work 24/7". I'm sure they practiced defensive patter about resilience until they could say it without smirking.
Yes we need a model where this can be done on a large scale with the way to compensate that doesn't involve private data. But realistically we just don't have that model. We can imagine the world where that's the result. The hard part is imagining how did we get there, and that's really not trivial - anyone has a chance to do it and succeed right now and it's just not happening.

Then there's the technical issue of: We can't guarantee no collection right now, without rebuilding internet from scratch. Then we need to solve the spam/credible information problem again without existing identity information.

So again, unless you want to live in a disconnected undocumented commune, you're drawing your own acceptance line somewhere. If you don't have own solutions to propose, calling others lazy is a bit of glass house situation.
Recession in a technical sense, yes, but not in a societal sense. A recession typically implies that people don't want to buy stuff or don't have the funds to. This time however, consumer demand is going to be probably the highest it's ever been the moment the quarantines are lifted.

It might get you a higher response rate is you gave the equivalent to 5kg which is 11 pounds.

I've been totally hooked on 17 inch laptops for ten years, sadly fewer and fewer manufacturers make them. I've had them weigh 10 pounds and 6 pounds, I prefer 6 pounds! I don't care much about battery capacity as I keep mine plugged in 99% of the time.
I'm curious about how you turn the Docker image into a root filesystem for the micro-VM. If you're willing to share more about this, are you using an existing tool such as LinuxKit or Packer, or did you write your own?
The trick is to already have 1-2 months of essentials before hand. The issue is when everyone tries to get 1-2 months of essentials all at the same time.
It later clarifies with "through the GitHub Service and to reproduce Your Content solely on GitHub as permitted through GitHub's functionality (for example, through forking)."

You're right. If they'd picked C# (again, in 2013 or so!), I would have been disappointed but understanding. Hey, it's not my project anymore and you've gotta pick what works best for you and your team, not to satisfy my preferences. But to finally be on an open non-Microsoft platform, and then to change back to it for VB.Net? That's just mystifying.
My point is the barrister does most of their work outside of the software - taking notes is not unique to being a barrister. A software engineer, or artist, or architect, or CAD modeller, or audio engineer, or accountant (just some examples of the kind of work I'm thinking of) do the majority of their work in software. Some of these workflows are doable on an iPad, some of them are not. All of them are doable to a professional level on a regular PC or Mac though.
Not to disagree with anything you said here, but there was recently a story comparing the fates of two young Chinese medical workers who both contracted the disease and who required medical care. The punchline is that a 29-year old physician with no co-morbidities died a terrible death. Be careful out there no matter your age or health status.

From the very end of the article: “This project is giving us a real insight into how our human ancestors adapted to climate change, to the harshest parts of the last glacial cycle, and adapted to use the materials that they had around them,” he said. “It’s really a story of survival in the face of adversity.”

What a stretch! It's so sad to see science having to lie and distort truth because the only grants available are all conditioned with support for "climate change."

Having never taken a Mac apart before, it took me less than half an hour to upgrade mine, and I had zero issues. It was definitely more work than upgrading a normal computer, but I think it's definitely worth doing if you're a student or otherwise unable or unwilling to pay Apple's exorbitant RAM prices.
That seems non-comparable. Google and Microsoft have a lot of value in IP and mindshare, plus various monopolies. American and Delta (for example) are 100% fungible.

The idea of Nix is that you have a huge datastore somewhere with views, where a possible view is a Unix OS. So those differences are no more relevant than saying your data is kept on disk sectors too.
Portability would be there, but since it would be quite uncomfortable (so more for "I need to work from home every now and then" instead of "let's grab the laptop and go sit in the park"), I'd probably have more trust in a NUC style desktop.

This might be confusion over what "tablet mode" means. I think he just means the non-Desktop interfaces, which in Windows 8 you could unintentionally get into very easily, famously by double-clicking an image file. And back then, going back to the desktop was a lot harder - this was before they made the taskbar and window frame appear when you moved the mouse to the edge of the screen; you had to use arcane gestures or press the Windows Logo Key and click "Desktop".
OK. That's enough for me to buy that diabetes can (and often does) cause heart disease. It's even enough for me to buy that heart disease is often caused by undiagnosed diabetes.

I don't know who "FTA" is. In any case, medical supplies are almost never sold in single units, especially single use supplies. What's the price for 1,000 units in bulk?

The source business insider article gives Massimo Temporelli as the source that a single unit is 10,000 EUR. Temporelli is not someone involved in the medical industry and might be easily confused by the way pricing works, assuming that "1 unit" is a single piece.
No.

Yeah, resuming business and being OK with the death toll is certainly an unpopular opinion. If you have hospitals overwhelmed because business just has to continue, business will suffer regardless.

I'm don't know it is about manliness, but is definitely to show superiors and other stakeholders that you have things under control. This is very important in an extreme top-down organization of society like an absolute monarchy or a one-party state - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potemkin_village

I remember a funny story from my home town in Bulgaria during the socialist era - the party secretary is supposed to land in a helicopter near a green field in the town center, but (horror!) the grass is yellow, burnt from the summer sun. So local functionaries painted it green. The next day the grass was completely dead, but the important guest wasn't there.

Imagine how the same people would react in an emergency with no instructions from the top, with no idea how their leadership will react or who will get the blame. A few years later, communist leadership in Bulgaria suppressed the news about Chernobyl and on the 1st of May huge crowds were gathered to participate in rallies, while radioactive rain was coming down.
But I really wonder if this time some kind of shortcut may be granted due to the unique, exceptional situation?

> It’s not questionable at all, the App Store has been a cornerstone of the iOS security model for years.

It's pretty questionable. The most obvious reason iOS has better security than Android is because iOS has far better sandboxing than Android.

I don't necessarily dismiss claims that moderation reduces malware, but I am at least skeptical of those claims. I haven't seen compelling statistics that moderation on the scale of the iOS App Store has specifically made an impact beyond banning a few high-publicity, wildly bad actors. The evidence I have seen suggests that moderation is likely not a scalable solution to malware.

More to the point, what we do know pretty conclusively is that app stores on their own are not a magic bullet. We can look at Windows, Chrome, and Android and see that app stores don't automatically improve security.

I think you can make a strong case that iOS shows why having a locked down OS in general helps -- the restrictions around the filesystem in particular close off entire classes of malware. But I think it's mostly conjecture to try and separate the App Store from those other improvements and credit it in specific.

They are using a different meaning. The particular meaning of the word console here most definitely is a well-defined I/O abstraction, and all of your argument about how console might mean something else and therefore there's no well-defined notion of a console in Windows is going completely overboard.

And it's sad that, despite the XTerm FAQ, you don't see the irony of waving around "VT100 compatible" as something supposedly well-defined, when the vt10x terminal types and the misapplied and sometimes downright erroneous notion of compatibility with various VT models has been the bane of users down the years.
