I had the same experience, but the library only had a book on COBOL and the CD with the compiler was missing, so I could write, but never run my code.

Pick whatever numbers you think are reasonable based on the data you have read - I think you will end up with a worrying result.

I use this analysis because the number of deaths is hard to fudge, and the fatality rate after x days, and the infection rate are somewhat measurable (I believe there are statistically valid measurements of those numbers).

Any analysis based upon detected cases is deeply flawed IMHO, because detected cases can be anything (look at different countries with wildly different values with no basis in reality).
they are often "up to 1Gbps" and also not available everywhere. In my area it's also at least 70 EUR, so I am fine with 400Mbps at home.

When my company was considering our internships (aka apprenticeships here in the UK) I told the CEO I'd leave if they were unpaid, because I didn't want to mentor people who were worrying about money instead of concentrating on learning how to become a good developer.

You can get support for implementing something like this from NLnet. Either a federated version or a 'google for git' would fit the bill I imagine.

Kind of agree. No, fuck people who can't handle jokes, but April fool's is rarely jokes. They're just deliberate humiliations.

Iow: don't do jokes where the punchline is "look how fucking stupid you are for believing what I said", which is most April fool's jokes.
The best April Fools joke I can remember was an anti-joke, when Google announced Gmail on the 1st of April. They were promising what were then unbelievably generous allowances and no one could agree on whether they were serious or not.
If you're selling tech: they'll often rather buy you than spend time solving the problem themselves. Most things can't be sped up by a linear factor if you apply more money/people/resources, so they'd still need some time to catch up to what you do. Granted, they'd need less time, because they could do development, marketing, infrastructure etc in parallel, but still: they'll usually prefer not wasting that time and acquihire you (and your team), to go to where you are in a very short time and have domain experts on the team immediately.

That changes if there's a lot of competition of course, they might buy your competitor and throw their weight behind them.

I'm making a guess here, but mindfulness and being 'awake' (bit vague terms I know) would do it I think; I believe so many people walked past that sword without really paying much attention to it - oh it's an old sword in a display case (I think?), neat. In a place like that, and I get the same thing in historical museums, you get so much things coming at you that it's hard to take it all in - let alone think critically about it.

I'm guessing she took more than a quick glance at the sword and the blurb.

Or maybe Netflix could say "no this is a service we are providing to our users" and then the big "Hollywood exec" would be like "ok maybe we will not sit on the million dollars we get from our agreement" and that would be it.
I was born in 1969 and our school had computer literacy O Levels that included BASIC programming on a Research Machines Link 480Z. (This would have been in 1985 / 1986)

Same in the Netherlands. There was always something similar, but as part of a stimulus package for the Corona crisis the government will pay part of the wages for companies that have 20%+ revenue loss, and this scales up to 90% wage payment for 100% revenue loss.

Fuck this attitude. Just yesterday I joked in a comment on Youtube about the quality of James May's video for reminding people to stay at home. I wrote

"James May shamelessly reused the footage he recorded during the Spanish Flu pandemic".

6600 people liked the comment, it was by far the most liked comment on that video, until suddenly Youtube decided it was inappropriate and the comment was no longer displayed. Who are they to decide what people are allowed to find funny?
As it should. Empty comments posted for the giggles of author (and maybe a few others) would just add too much spam.

Another '76. There was nothing in the curriculum where I was.

There were computers dotted around the place run by enthusiastic maths, physics and design teachers, which occasionally made it into a lesson, but more commonly would be commandeered by the spoddy kids at break times, making programs to print rude words on the screen.

Our school brought in actual computing lessons a few years later, but they were "How To Do Word, You Peons" from day 1 (on the godawful slow PC-not-entirely-compatibles that somehow RM managed to trick schools into buying back then). I consider it a lucky escape I didn't have that to put me off the whole idea.
So require that the other viewers also have Netflix accounts? But they don't do that either.
That may be your personal experience, but I doubt that it's universal.

Consider the reported policy at Amazon of requiring several pages of written document for every meeting in order to ensure the functioning of that meeting. That's a pretty strong emphasis on the asynchronously written word.

Apparently they still do have meetings, but that may be simply a vehicle for psychological alignment more than for actual detailed discussion.
The whole point of capitalism is that owners are rewarded and everyone else get's fucked. That's really fucking obvious. The key to living under capitalism is to become an owner (of capital) as soon as you can and stop being a worker. Anyone talking about any other strategy is talking nonsense. The proletariat will not rise up any time soon and capitalism is not going anywhere.

So everyone's best bet is to stop moaning and get with the program. We can't beat them, join them.

For me, what makes a good online April fool's joke is the gestalt switch, where I first believe it, then I read it with increasing incredulity, and then I remember that it's April 1st.
The story I heard was that the UK Government, when designing a new curriculum for computing, consulted with Microsoft on what to include in the curriculum. Microsoft said office software would be really important and used the opportunity to pitch their own products. Now because everyone learned Office in school it's the thing that got used in the workplace and this self perpetuated up until a few years ago when (in England) I.C.T, which was the new name for the subject, got replaced by Computer Science which focused more on programming.

When I studied I.C.T, if the teacher knew how to code, she sure as hell didn't show it. What was it like with the BBC micros? Did the teacher know enough to teach the class? I know this is a problem with the current Computer Science curriculum.
April Fools among people with a mutual understanding of each other is levity.

Well, the GP is saying that the sites work perfectly fine when they just change the User-Agent.

Wow, did not expect to see grarr mentioned on HN. I should mention that it's basically dead at this point, and IMO would need a full rewrite to resurrect (the web framework it's built on is unmaintained and has been superseded by much nicer ones, the templating it uses is based on a compiler plugin that only works with a few years old nightly compiler).
I was born in 78 and went to school in the south.

There was a BBC Micro at primary school.

We didnt have any sort of structured way of learning it (or maybe I was just too young).

There was educational material, like "grannies garden", and "pod" where you could type "pod can pop" to make the poor tomato explode.

Because it booted straight into BBC Basic I quickly found out how to print things with different colours to the screen.

I went to 3 different secondary schools and they all had BBC Micros, Archimedes and PCs.

There didnt seem to be any teaching about programming.

There were books around about stuff about 6502, but it was a bit beyond me at age 12.

The kids interested in computers would go and use them at the lunch breaks.

By the 90s the only computing related teaching was about how to use word processors.

Later I took computer studies at college where we learned coding proper, funnily we still had an "ICT" module, which was really "how to type".
That's bizarre. It seems like a completely harmless joke.

One thing about tabs, which ironically has come up now for Microsoft Windows Terminal, is that they do not fit at all well with the idea of application-resizable terminals, which has been the widely case for terminal I/O since the days of 80/132 column application-switchable terminals back in the 1970s. If (just to pick a mild example) one tab is a 24-line terminal and another is a 25-line terminal, they aren't the same size in the GUI.

Line up a row of real terminals, and of course they do not constrain one another, size-wise. Indeed, back in the 1990s the DTTerm terminal emulator pioneered the terminal emulators' abilities for applications to set any arbitrary size (within reason) for a terminal emulator.

I did a quick review of terminal emulators in light of this, and varyingly tabbed terminal emulators do not support application resizing (DECSLPP/DECSNLS/DECSCPP) at all or support it in limited, or at least odd (compared to real terminals), ways. Konsole, possibly the best of the bunch, implements resizing properly, leaving large margins when the requested terminal screen size does not match the GUI window size, but triggers a GUI resize whenever a tab receives the input focus back, so application-requested size changes do not last if one switches amongst tabs. One tabbed terminal emulator author is actively opposing the idea that terminals should be resizable by applications emitting these control sequences, completely reversing course from DTTerm's innovation.

The problem for Windows Terminal is compounded by the fact that it isn't just supporting terminal I/O applications, it is supporting console I/O applications. In console I/O not only can applications set the screen buffer size at whim, they can also set the window rectangle. Not supporting either is a huge and very noticable step backwards, by over three decades, for Windows TUI applications that Windows Terminal is aimed to be compatible with.

A tabbed UI is not a universally unproblematic thing when it comes to terminal emulators. (-:

> Most April Fools pranks are tedious.

Totally agree. Also the problem with most April Fools events online is that unless you spend 30 minutes scrutinising the page, it's not apparent that it's a joke or fake. A bad joke is one that no-one gets. It doesn't make you clever to have outwitted your readers, just arrogant.

Let's face it, in these trying times, there's enough fools online and in the media trying to screw our lives up, lets not be part of that.
Modern Day Jobs, a curated list of 100 modern ways to make money online
I think you are ascribing too much thought to Jane Street's decision to use OCaml. I think it was a good choice, on balance, but from what I heard/read when I worked there it was mostly just circumstantial.
This week, entrepreneur Alex Taub shared a similar list on Twitter (https://twitter.com/ajt/status/1...) replying to tweets from people who were wondering if there were any overviews of ways people who are affected by layoffs caused by Covid-19, could find new ways / jobs / gigs to make money and pay their bills.

He asked if there were any people who'd like to take over his idea and build a searchable database for it. My friend Elaine Zelby (from SF) and I (from Amsterdam) jumped on it and worked together for the past 2 days to launch this product today

We both got interested because the majority of people now getting laid off are not the skilled knowledge or tech workers. There are dozens of places where they could make money through the internet and we would love to help them!

Having played with Self a bit before the Newton came out and then seeing it in NewtonScript, it was a very cool thing to watch the idea of system-wide prototype-based inheritance filter through the community. I think it was a bit too much for most people to grok, but the ability of a coder to modify only a few prototypes in the system soup to change the behavior of existing apps was absolutely amazing.

There are 24 Ekadashis in a year. The belief behind Papmochani Ekadashi is that those who believe in this Ekadashi and observe a fast may find respite from all sorts of sins from previous and present lifetimes. People worship Lord Vishnu on Papmochani Ekadashi. This falls in the Krishna paksha and has greater significance than other Ekadashis that fall in a month.
