China let it spread to the whole world?

In some respects, China's initial response was poor. The government in Wuhan forced the doctor who was warning about the virus on social media to shut up, and it did not ban large public events quickly enough.

In other respects, China's initial response was excellent. Immediately after the first suspicious cases of pneumonia were reported by local doctors in Wuhan, the Chinese CDC sent a team to Wuhan to investigate. China alerted the WHO just two days later. It then announced the discovery of a new coronavirus about a week after alerting the WHO. It published the genetic sequence of the virus two days after that. Two weeks later, it quarantined Wuhan, a city of over 10 million people. Two weeks may seem like a long time, but compare that to how long it's taken for governments in Western countries to take similarly drastic actions.

Learning to Solve Programming Problems: Have We Flipped?
Ask HN: Looking for help/advice/mentoring resources online, free or paid
My life is a mess. I am lost in regard to what I want to do, what are my abilities, and at the same time, I think I am not good enough to compete with other people in our globalized ultra-competitive job market. On top of that, I feel like my life is going nowhere.

To add insult to injury, I feel very lonely even though I have 4-5 friends with whom I talk once in a while.

I am already seeing a psychologist and a psychiatrist, having said so, they have not been able to address and help me out in questions like "I feel like even though I like a variety of fields, I at the same time have failed in every attempt I've had in studying "insert x field" since I was 16 years old".

BTW, I am a 20 year old male from Spain who dropped out of uni during my freshman year in CS after failing every single subject I had, and 3 months ago I dropped out of vocational school where I was studying Robotics & Automation. I was only to graduate from High School even though I failed 2 core subjects (biology and chemistry) because of the "mercy" of the respective teachers that taught me those subjects.

I objectively think I am a failure because of the reasons described beforehand & other causes.

Therefore, what are some help/advice/mentoring resources online both free and/or paid that could help me out in my current situation?

Thanks in advance.
Big same.

Open source design just means you get the source file for the design. You can look under the hood, and see how it was made. Even more than open-source, the designs are also free to use, sell, or distribute in their original format or altered.

Let's draw a parallel with open source software for instance. It just means you see the source, and have access to it. It might be written in a proprietary language, or using proprietary technology. That doesn't make it any less open source. Let's take Java for instance. It is a proprietary programming language, owned by Oracle - yet we have countless open source projects on GitHub written in Java...

I could go on and on about this topic, but there is no reason for that, I don't think it will change your opinion.

All I can say is I'm sorry if you feel tricked in any way, and on the bright side, the site contains open source designs that were made with free to use software as well. (Figma and XD)

Thanks for your feedback, even though we might disagree on certain points I think there were some valuable takeaways in your rant.

No idea! It’s like everyone is looking at this as a “money problem” and throwing a bunch of stimulus at it, instead of taking it for what it actually is—an unprecedented health issue in a completely unprepared country.

Singapore has been in the 'first-world' economic tier for at least 30 years. Their economic success is not recent. 30 years ago their GDP per capita was on par with Hong Kong and Spain, ahead of Greece, and far ahead of Portugal or South Korea (and it was nearly 40 times higher than China).

China is a legitimate story of recent economic success. China is only now at a stage of median development that Singapore reached in the 1970s and 1980s.

Fiber internet (at least where I live) is just a TCP/IP connection. You could even connect it straight to your PC and it would work.

So, I use a SFP module that it suitable for the wavelength and mode of my fiber connection, and plugged that in an Ubiquity Edgerouter. In case of my ISP I had to configure a VLAN on the external interface, as they use separate VLANs for internet, TV and telephony. Once you configure the VLAN, the router will receive an IP address over DHCP and you'll be online.

I may have a VPN box that only allows traffic to one IP via IP tables/nftables. VPN breaks, no traffic. Simple. It’s useful for more than just piracy though. It’s a nice way to shut down all sorts of ISP crap and guarantee no leakage. Run the household DNS though it as well.
Not all, no, but a good few do (I'm sure this varies by industry, region, etc.) Ambitious people tend to do so more than others; there are only so many promotions/pay raises/etc. to go around and I'd rather I get it than one of my co-workers, so it becomes a bit of a positional arms race.
Yet it isn’t blocked while this VPN is.
Or it is strong motivation to be the perfectly standard dumb pipe the user wanted to pay for in the first place.
Does anyone know of a comparable tool for legal research (or plugin(s) that add this functionality to Zotero)? A good friend is in law school right now and has really been wanting a good citation manager, but when I pointed him to Zotero it ended up being lacking due to the absence of a standardized reference number and citation info that scientific papers have.
Cameras were far more expensive back in the day. Not just the camera or the lenses, but also the film, and then you'd also have to pay to get the film developed. Fast photo processing was only just taking off (late 70's). Taking a good photo was hard and an entire discipline unto itself. You had to develop an eye to know what F-stop and aperture and other settings to use, and then wait a day before seeing if the picture even came out.

It wouldn't have been a quick "lemme lay the photos out real quick" setup. You'd probably end up moving all of the lights in the house into the living room just to get enough light for the shot, and then play around with camera settings for half-an-hour before taking the first shot.
Do you also take testing per capita into account? The US seems to be far behind on that. Or the US has found a super effective approach that no other nation has found to this kind of test/positives ratio. Also these countries don't seem to be at the same point in time as the US, we know the US is a week or two behind some of them. Comparing them like is not really fair.
I wonder how much of the perceived lack of innovation today is because we now have to divide the same resources among 7.8bn instead of 3bn.

In those days I feel like pop culture thought of innovation as 50% better everything, but we had to shift to making 50% cheaper, less resource-intensive everything instead.

examples:

- making furniture out of sawdust not better wood furniture

- tiny scooters and fuel-efficient cars not faster cars.

- plastic not shiny metals/wood for most household items

- tiny apartment high-rises not better houses
Not every business has to be viable for a startup. I'd rather a company that can't afford a single lawyer not have access to my personal information. If that means pricing them out of it through regulation, then so be it.

I researched a pretty long article about this and documented my findings here: https://www.rallyhealth.com/devops/database-updates-across-t...
South Korea, Taiwan and ... uh, China have done relatively well. They each have the virus under relative control.

I don't see Germany doing anything well except testing. IE, they haven't controlled infecting, which is increasing exponentially[1]. Germany originally had an ideal seeming death rate of only 0.2%.

But that was a rather illusory achievement that could be explained by finding all the infection but not stopping them (they're at 0.6% now, a significant increase and this will naturally continue increasing). By Tomas Pueyo's important calculation, one death implies up to 800 infections (1% death rate plus three weeks of doubling from when the patient contradicted the disease)[2]. So if you did find all those infections, you can see a very low apparent death rate but you wouldn't have reduced the actual death rate or the infection rate and you'd still be hurdling towards the situation of having so many cases your health system is overwhelmed and your death rate shoots up.

Angel Merkel said 30-70% of the country might catch the virus, which is pretty much poisonous "herd immunity" Koolaid that Boris Johnson spouted (now that fatalities have spiked in the UK, he's singing a different tune and I hope Merkel will also).

Cases are beginning to rise dramatically in Japan.
I think dstillman put it best, the features that make Zotero actually useful need to connect to the internet, like fetching metadata. You wouldn't want to enter everything by hand (but you can).

I think your expectation is reasonable (a local tool will be offline when using only local resources), and it's definitely possible with Zotero (disable the automatic translator/style updates) but just not the default setting.

On a technical level, I don't think there is a huge difference between polling and maintaining a persistent connection, if the polling interval is short or the keepalives are long. The real question that I'd find interesting is why the translator/style updates must be "instant". For my use, once a day or once every few hours would probably be more than sufficient.
Simple example:

shared_ptr<int> global;
void func(const shared_ptr<int>& v) {
global.reset();
*v += 1; // ohno
}
func(global);
What component was veritably the same in the Blurred Lines case? I've listened to both songs and the 'sameness' to my ears is akin to two rock tunes using similar power chords and drum beat.
I'd guess they made a mistake in thinking that because the population ratio is greater than 1.5 (it's 2.6), therefore the GDP / Capita ratio they reference is then favoring Japan. That of course would need to be run against actual national GDP, not per capita. US per capita GDP was about 60% higher than Japan as of the end of 2019.

The expected behavior is that your OS works correctly.

If a VPN adds a 0.0.0.0/0 route, that route should be respected. Your OS should not circumvent your routing table for some packets and not others.
That's for the reverse (unsafe) conversion. A shared ptr can always be implicitly converted to a shared ptr to const. In fact a shared_ptr<T> can always be implicitly converted to a shared_ptr<T2> as long as T* is convertible to T2*. So for example derived to base and anything to void are allowed.
Hi HN!

I first remember this from some years ago (can't remember where), and re-discovered it today looking for something different than the typical music/movies/news I usually have on when working or doing things around the house.

There's natural ambient sound (pretty good quality), like what you'd hear if you were there, and they go for hours and hours. I'm a fan of the trip ones so far (canal boat is on now), and pleasantly surprised how calming it is for me. Hope you might enjoy it too in these crazy times!

Cheers

In general, overwriting an LBA on a SSD will not cause a write to the same physical flash memory cells, no matter what the data pattern is. If you want to guarantee that the old version of the data is actually erased from the physical medium, you need to issue a drive sanitize command.
> I'm not going to be stupid and try to "uncap" my modem to get more speed

I think this modem "uncapping" thing has mostly been an urban myth. Maybe there were some really early cable modem systems in the 90s where that would have been possible, but AFAIK with DOCSIS the speed is regulated by the CMTS [0], not the modems.

We had Think C about ten years past it's time on the Mac LC in school. I would have taken Visual C++ that I had at home over that, any day.

Heck, Turbo C for DOS would have been more productive.
Yeah I did a degree in structural engineering and they introduced aluminium like someone would introduce lambdas in python. Right time, right place, but usually a very minor role. Expensive, no resilience, and a host of other problems like how it is very soft, corrosion has strange properties (creates kinda a shell around the material), low thermal capacitance, and expands at a different thermal delta than concrete (unlike steel which is pretty close).

Lifting heavy objects is relatively easy so why not use steel?

Personally, I prefer wood or glulam over steel and concrete but they all have their places. Stone is nice too, lasts forever even if it is expensive. Ultra High Performance Concretes like Ductal are wild, but unfortunately building codes in most countries haven't kept up.
The times they are a-changin' - this week I signed a card remotely, a PDF one through Adobe Acrobat Reader.
I have been using Android for the last few years (with NoRoot Firewall installed) and before that I was using iPhone (jailbroken with FirewallIP installed).

95% of the applications installed (on both Android & iPhone), when they open "talk"/send a ping to Facebook. That includes all air-companies, Spotify, anything you can imagine. The only "clean" apps I have found are Amazon, eBay, Dropbox, Signal, Telegram, Skype.

Anyone using Android, do yourselves the favor, install (free) NoRoot Firewall. Once you "Start" the firewall check the tabs "Logs" and "Pending" and you will be surprised on what your apps are doing, especially if you leave them running in the background.I also use it to block trackers, ads, FB, etc.
Mhm. I would need to dive into our implementation. I don’t know whether we reimplement diffing algorithms in GitLab or rely on git internals here. [0]

I am my phone, so I cannot check, but my two assumptions would be: Wr might use the default so that people have a match to what they see if they are diffing on their computers.

And if it is confuigurable, probably just on an instance level, so you need to run GitLab yourself and not dot com

Again just assumptions, will double check tomorrow.

Super fun. This is a great project.
I don't know anything in the link aggregator category, but traditional forums exist. The most production/recording-centric one I remember right now is https://www.gearslutz.com/board/, but there's more for various other subfields.
I disagree. If it is standard practice to BYOR, family or friends might give one to grandma, saying "use this, it will save you money".

I used to install satellite TV and saw this all the time. People would get old receivers from friends and family. Fortunately for me, the receivers were proprietary to that service (we don't use generic pay TV receivers in Canada) and the old ones were built like tanks. If people could have supplied any old cheap generic receiver, I probably would have had a bad time.
In an ironic twist of fate, Uber Eats might become the stronger part of the business when ridership is down but food delivery is up. My friend who is an Uber driver tells me that's what's happening in his area, in California.
In general, I think stores are getting better at handling the demand, and most people have stocked up at this point. I went to Kroger last night, and they were low on chicken, but had plenty of everything else I was looking for. In fact, they had more than normal of some items.
Whether or not they are great ideas, they are irrelevant to solving the immediate health and economic issues this bill should be addressing right now. None of those are issues that should be cause for holding up that aid.
Sounds like a false dichotomy. Some regulation has some downsides, all regulations are bad. I think you can reform regulations enabling health care innovations and introduce legistlation to stop Facebook to do mass surveillance without opt-in.
Most GUI tools execute git under their hood, so if the repo config is set, they might pick it up.
People do not need liquidity to survive. They need air, water, food, medicine, shelter, in decreasing order of importance. No one has ever died for lack of liquidity.

We've done a middling job at making sure people have air and water, less good with food and even worse with shelter and medicine. But liquidity? That should be last on the list of things to worry about. It should always be last.
Obligatory:

They could still target each platform individually even while using libc APIs where applicable only on macOS, since those are often the lowest level stable options available on Mac. My point is that there’s no reason you need to take exactly the same approach on each platform to achieve the same goals.
I'd argue that once you reach a certain level of size, it's very easy to fail upwards.

See: Amazon. They are incompetent in many aspects of their business, but due to their sheer size that incompetence is shielded by their other investments.
As a Linux admin, I am thoroughly confused. Are you saying that MacOS maintains a separate routing table for each interface?

Typically, a system has only one default route. You can have many interfaces and many routes, but only one default. Otherwise you don't know which default gateway to send a packet to.
