This is why I like separate modems, so there is a clear border between you and the ISP. Sadly currently most of the providers only give you AIOs.
Not saying that you are wrong but, what makes you so confident? Italy has been almost approaching 1,000 deaths a day for a few days now, and yet their stock market has been rising ~12% since March 20th, after dropping 40% since February. Why wouldn't their market drop more since they have so many deaths with no sign of stopping?

I am fully expecting the stock market to drop more as we move forward, but it's much less clear to me how one specific event (like the one you or gp are mentioning) could have a direct impact on tomorrow's prices.

In 2009 the market started recovering way before the real damages to the economy started disappearing (e.g. unemployment rate actually went back to ~5% just in 2015, and by that point the stock market was in full rebound for years).
In any event the statement is tautological.
It's shocking how many Git repos are used to build this project. It seems unnecessary. Personally I find the ability to make atomic commits across different parts of a project very handy. Don't understand the drive to break it into so many parts.

> I just don't understand why anyone would spend so much time developing so many intricate features when the presentation is so poor.

I think this is a general feature of software that is very 'techy' for a lack of a better term. Dwarf Fortress is a pretty niche, hardcore game and people who build this sort of stuff don't always have the best sense of what a UX design ought to look like that appeals to the general user. A lot of Linux desktop software is like that too.

> We're guaranteed to end up with doppelgänger choruses and melodies sooner rather than later.

Technically that's fine. Copyright only protects originality, not novelty as with patents. Coincidentally creating the same melody as someone else doesn't violate their copyright. If they sued they'd have to prove that it wasn't coincidental with evidence that you heard the original melody, a prerequisite for proving that your melody was derivative.

That's the theory. In practice the first person to publish the melody often wins, especially if their version was popular--e.g. a radio hit, which by itself provides circumstantial evidence that you had heard it.
It may totally not be the case, but this story sounds like something a marketing guru would make up to post on LinkedIn.
Well, it means they felt the need to support Linux executables on non-Linux kernels, and that the Linux kernel ABI turned out to be too big and too fast a moving target to manage the feat.

In an country with healthy safety nets and an economy that fairly pays everyone, sure, I'd say maybe they should have saved more.

We're not that economy, and we're not that country, and it's totally unreasonable to expect that everyone can put aside months of emergency funds.
It's not terribly difficult to add a graphical tileset to the free version, and there are a variety to choose from on the bay12games.com forums.
I'm impressed you've been able to keep up with 1 a day. It is always interesting to see new UI ideas. Seems like all the time I need some UI or layout that I've never seen before. It all boils down to combining many other UI ideas.
You can see it visually too if you have a 2.5-inch drive to compare it to (or know the size of a 2.5-inch drive): drives with separate USB to SATA boards are longer to fit that board, while these are only about the same length as the bare drive plus the plastic shell.

Ask your colleagues to use the Better BibTeX plugin for Zotero, which includes vastly better support for BibTeX-based workflows.

Zotero's built-in BibTeX export is mostly intended as a generic data transfer format to other similar tools. It could surely be improved, and we'd be happy for patches, but contributions tend to go to Better BibTeX, since that's what people who care about BibTeX are using. (Zotero will export ASCII BibTeX if you choose "Western" instead of "Unicode" for the export charset, though.)

I agree, things get heated when people start to moralize about things without considering the other side. On one hand, people affected by a death or very sick family member are going to feel one way, especially if they are not feeling a lot of economic pain. That said a small restaurant owner, or worker who is living on the edge who is facing the real possibility of losing everything is, understandably going to feel differently. Both have VERY valid points and there is not an easy answer because both options have very bad outcomes for a group of people.
The greatest work of capitalist propaganda has been to almost completely replace Marx with a straw man in the public imagination. Even if you disagree with Marx, knowing his actual work and thoughts is vital to understanding the world that we live in. If you think Marx is wrong, you should at least be able to articulate it in terms of the things Marx actually wrote.

The fact that the American left is about as ignorant of Marx as the average creationist is of Darwin just goes to show how deeply capitalist ideology has usurped the US political system.

It sounds like there's a time bomb in safari web views just waiting to happen. The timer is supposed to be reset every time you open the app, so there won't ever be seven days of opening the app and not using it. But it sounds like the code path is just there, they just don't ever expect it to be hit because the timer _should_ reset every time the user opens the app.

I can't _wait_ to deploy an application where there is literally an "rm -rf" pointed at my users data, with a complex conditional blocking it. That makes it far to easy for a webview bug to nuke my users data.

This is shoddy engineering. Could you imagine a filesystem being implemented the same way? You would never include a code path in your "mount" logic the says "if ( some condition ) delete everything;" that would rightfully be viewed as a terrible idea and a disaster just waiting to happen.

I feel that these attacks on the rationality (and intelligence) of the average person are misguided. Rationality means evaluating the information provided to you. If you do not give importance to any qualitative information (e.g., taste), it makes sense to evaluate them on the quantitative information alone (i.e., lower fat) which is not relevant for many people.

I would go as far as to say that even in cases such as the gluten-free fad, people are somewhat justified. Producers started saying that their products were gluten-free to serve the customers that needed that information (i.e., celiacs). However, the average person did not know about celiac disease, so they reasonably thought that the information was for them. The logical conclusion was that gluten was bad. Now, that is wrong, but to be fair how are you supposed to know that? You are not a dietitian.

It's not a matter of rationality, but that is difficult to evaluate information if you do not understand the context in which is produced.

Anyone interested in Marx should read Bertrand Russel's critiques of Marxism and his analysis of the Manifesto with an honest mind. The Hegelianism behind Marxism is a tool that can prove both that the Kingdom of Prussia in the 1760s was a reflection of God's will, as well as giving Marx the idea that he had a scientific approach to history that let him predict the future. Any tool of reasoning that can prove anything, in the end proves nothing, and all of Marx's history and analysis is steeped in Hegelian dialectic rendering it nonsense. His many predictions all failed, but his ideology lived on despite Scientific Socialism being a failed science.

Also anyone interested in Marx should take the time to understand the Labor Theory of Value. It's a lynchpin of Marx's analysis, and it's an idea long since thoroughly discredited. Marxism is a house built on sand.

Is it though? There is probably a big drawback in terms of resource consumption if this is not supported. Not all environments may be ok with this.
The interesting bit here: this is a company that has a full-time Director of Emergency Preparedness. They've had plans for dealing with a pandemic flu outbreak on the books since the bird flu outbreak of 2005. So when it actually happened, they could just pick up those plans and run with them.

This is remarkable because it's hard to imagine most American companies, which are always looking to squeeze out a little more profit to juice the quarterly report, keeping someone on staff whose full-time job is to plan for what seem in good times like extremely remote contingencies. H-E-B, notably, is privately held.
Last time my wife and I came down with what we're reasonably sure was the flu she was bed-ridden and rarely conscious for two weeks, and I was barely mobile basically only out of necessity (someone had to get out of bed to feed us and let the dogs out).

I felt worse than I'd ever felt in my life. Everything hurt when I moved or when I didn't. My head was killing me. I never stopped coughing. It woke me up at all hours of the night and took me hours to get back to sleep. I was drinking cough syrup like it was candy just to get some barely passable naps during the night. It eventually devolved into pneumonia.

By the time I recovered and came back to work, I'd coughed so much I no longer had any voice.

I'd thought I'd had the flu before, but like many other people are saying it was pretty quickly apparent that it had always just been colds. I got the flu the first time when I was almost 30. I too would be extremely surprised if your reaction to the flu shot was anywhere near as bad as a flu.
Let me try to break it down:

1. Expensive. For sure, it inherently uses a lot more energy. There's not going to be an economy class on these and they'll never replace jets en masse.

2. Security. Not really. He talks about hijacking/terrorism, but these things won't have pilots or free movement on board. Everybody's going to be strapped into their seat for 45 minutes to withstand the forces and the rocket's gonna do all the flying.

3. Spaceports. See my sibling comment, these will have to be build on water far away from cities.

4. Inconvenient. No, these will be massively convenient if you can afford them. It takes 90 minutes to complete an orbit around the earth, so any two points will be at most 45 minutes away. Spending a bit over an 1hr flying New York-Sydney downtown-to-downtown is incomparable to the slog that exists today.

Next time someone says to me that language's popularity doesn't matter for it's utility, I'll remember how Go's socks library appears on the front page of HN, while my pull request the Haskell's socks library (which implements the most basic feature that author added to the top of TODO list himself) is sitting unmerged and uncommented now for almost a year.(1) (If I sound bitter it's because I am.)

Seriously though, such "boring" libraries that you just need in your toolbox are a great way to evaluate the health of the whole ecosystem.

How does “time run out” in practice other than you putting an upper bound on your computation?

Obviously, the code will not halt until it compresses the stream successfully.
Ask HN: Will I *need* a powerful laptop?
I'm a CS undergrad currently working (from home, yay coronavirus) on my thesis project. My laptop is four years old and in perfect condition, I upgraded it to an SSD about a year ago when I could not bear the boot times anymore. However, it has no GPU, a less-than optimal CPU, and a 720p screen.

I noticed that, while most of the heavy lifting (model fitting and any serious benchmarks) is carried out by my uni's computers, I spend a lot of time waiting for code to compile or simulations to start up and run (slowly); it also gets annoying to have to edit code to only use the CPU when compiling on my computer, iron out all the cracks then turn the GPU flags back on when moving to the uni's servers and hope it works without additional hacking.

My screen being low-res also causes issues when some GUI tool was developed in-house by somebody with a bigger screen and it does not fit on mine and can't be resized so I have to move it around.

These are all minor annoyances I can tolerate, but I'm only an undergrad. Will I need a more powerful laptop in the future or can I assume that during my career I will always have access to compute time to do the heavy lifting on? And if I can assume this, on the other hand, what's the point of having a powerful laptop if you work in CS and don't play video games or do video production on your laptop?
Agreed. It's the same reason why I think we'll learn essentially nothing from it and be back to business-as-usual (with poor safety net and tiny stockpile of medical essentials) in just a couple years.

What I do is just annotate absolutely everything. I try not to think much about structure. What matters is that my thoughts are put down into text. Structure and organization comes later.

Once your second brain is searchable, you can quickly find those keywords and the context thanks to Roam bidirectional links. This is one way to approach your notes, when you know what you're looking for.

Another way to approach your notes is by browsing. You can create a page with the structure or outline that you come up with, and then fill them with links to blocks in other notes. In here, you can practice a step of progressive summarization and rephrase your notes.
Indeed. "I want an indulgence" and "I want a tempered (supposedly healthy) indulgence" are different markets, selling to different needs, and sometimes to different people.

Most operating systems define a libc ABI (or sometimes, merely API) as the interface to their kernel. Linux is the only OS--at least, the only major OS I'm aware of--that defines its interface boundary to be the system call layer itself.
Yeah, that's one of the few things I've seen from Drepper that actually seemed reasonable and defensible.

I think you're framing the question - the tradeoff at this point is not how much value will be created but how much value will be destroyed.

The impacts of corona measures will lead to the economic slowdown and general reduction of wealth - for you this might mean that you lose your job, can't afford to buy a new apartment, car, furniture, electronics, clothes, etc. but for people that live close to poverty level that just got out of that place because of globalisation and increased economic growth this will result in less access to basic infrastructure, medications, food, development opportunities.

And that's not even touching the reduction in R&D and economic activity that would improve the lives of people. For example - consider risky tech companies like Tesla being wiped out by market conditions - who is going to do R&D in things like battery tech in an economy where people are pulling out of capital investment ? Even the established companies with cash reserves will scale back R&D. And this will happen across the board - which will in turn make future crisis more difficult to deal with.
What's even more interesting to me is that HEB has a chief medical officer on staff at all times as well.

Courage Inside a Brooklyn Hospital Confronting Coronavirus
Hmm. This comment got me curious.

Using CDC's FluView app I looked at the 2017/2018 flu season to see what the doubling time was. It's not 3 days indeed. It varied quite significantly during the outbreak, but there were periods where it was doubling approximately every week. Potentially faster I suppose depending on how closely people were looking for it (not that close if I understand correctly for most flus).

Viruses can grow pretty fast.
