Yup, I had mis-remembered the SLC versus TLC numbers.

I'm surprised QLC gets as high as 1000, frankly. It's like the cells are on a first-name basis with the electrons they hold.
This is nice if you don't have a GitHub account. Otherwise you can watch the repository with "releases only" option and it will send you e-mail notifications.
You haven't studied Marxism properly, then. As a physics graduate, Marxist theory is about as close to a grand unified theory of anything as complicated, as you're going to get.
In theory, you could generate better code after having observed the actual arguments to various functions and recompile while treating them as constants. Basically profile-guided (re)optimization. But the observation would slow down the initial code, it would be a large implementation effort, and the gains would be dubious imho. Especially given how much information was already lost via the initial AOT (ahead of time) optimizing compile; you might need to keep the original source around or something.

Unlikely to happen.

That's because you have no experience. Any web developer worth their salt knows what the string means and what browser it represents. Which is okay because user agents are to be parsed by computers and rarely developers, not end users.

Sure! Previously, podcasters and musicians didn't have a very engaging way to share audio on social media. We built Wavve so creators can easily convert audio files into a branded video with an animated waveform. Here's our Twitter and Instagram accounts with some examples of what's possible:

Personally, I grew up playing Angband and Nethack with ASCII graphics.

I still play DF (and DCSS, for that matter) with graphics. It's just so much easier to parse, doesn't require me to spend months "getting used to" the ASCII display (in addition to the rest of DF's arduous learning curve), and it's prettier to boot.

To clarify, having just worked with the Facebook SDK library for my company's codebase, I dont think it is possible to setup the SDK without this happening. Disclaimer: I do not know what the FacebookSDK does after you call it's launch methods but I am pretty certain that they are required for a least some versions of the SDK.

If you are a Zoom user who is not using a Facebook account, I believe the only info Facebook is getting is that the Zoom app was launched and nothing about the user itself. Unfortunately the side-effect of using the FBSDK is that Facebook can track your app's usage for all users.

I believe this is true of all apps with a "Login in with Facebook" button. FWIW, it does not appear that other OAuth's do this (including Google's)
Is there actually a SCSI drive in there or just a SATA drive with a USB bridge chip using the USB mass storage spec and implementing some basic SCSI commands?
Huh? There are no sorts of leading/praising questions like that in the article. If anything, I found the questions to be very generic and templatized - which again isn't a bad thing and seems to fit the profile of the overall site (a resource for young startups/curious entrepreneurs)

The questions (for those who won't click through):

"What's your background, and what are you currently working on?"
"What's your backstory and how did you come up with the idea?"
"How did you build Wavve?"
"Which were your marketing strategies to grow your business?"
"What are your goals for the future?"
"What were the biggest challenges you faced and obstacles you overcame?"
"Which are your greatest disadvantages? What were your worst mistakes?"
"If you had the chance to do things differently, what would you do?"
You can just put down stone traps and it will kill 85% of invasions. The rest you can create a drawbridge or something and pull it up if you see an enemy you can't deal with. Closing yourself off also means you can't trade, generally, so it's good to leave your fortress semi-open.
Absolutely, I don't see why it wouldn't have worked.

I doubt it would work today however.

Yes, but this statement is trivially true for any exponential spread constrained by a maximum population - even if the virus kills everybody.
The comment pointed out that the US seems to be tackling the economic impact more aggressively than other nations. That is only partially true to begin with since many other nations are discussing or have already passed large-scale stimulus measures for their national economies.

But the urgency and focus on economic measures in the US does have justification. Here in the US, we need things like free testing (already the case in most nations) and to handle the surge in unemployment (we have a system, is is just less robust than most wealthy nations, hence the very urgent need to dramatically expand it).

I made no mention of "which country is or isn't going to come out of this with the least amount of damage", only reiterated the well-known fact that the US has one of the meekest welfare states of any wealthy nation. That had not yet been mentioned in the thread and seemed extremely relevant.
> With the latter I don't find a consistent answer. I've read venues pay a licensing fee....

IIRC, the licensing fee paid by the venue doesn't necessarily grant the performers any rights, it just waives the venue's liability. The nature of the relationship between the performer and venue is context dependent and it isn't always clear if the performers are covered or even could be covered by the venue's license, anyhow.

In practice the licensor associations will leave the performers alone as long as the venue has a license, because what's the point of the venue license if artists face legal jeopardy for playing there.

Alot of copyright works this way: the edges are very blurry and the incredibly broad scope of claims and defenses effectively corrals everybody into quasi-legal arrangements. Were it not for criminal liability and potential for ruinous monetary damages, this would definitely be a feature more than a bug. It's certainly deliberate. No law could ever be precise enough to properly balance such interests a priori.
It probably doesn't hurt that the Texas coast regularly gets hit by hurricanes, so they deal with emergencies (albeit on a smaller scale than this) somewhat frequently.
Yeah! So you know that read:T call that you have implemented in Scala?

You know that it could produce a different result on consecutive calls, right? Because the notion of a mutex/lock doesn’t exist in Math.

Mathematics doesn’t allow that, because it is not a “pure function”.

> You can pick a balance between some validations and 100%, and I don't think it's that hard unless you're invested in saying this is just UNPOSSIBLE.

The point is that it's easy to say things should be easy when you don't know anything except the very surface details of the problem, and it's not your job to actually solve it.

Maybe the team that built the system in question were a bunch of dumb-dumbs who just needed a rockstar developer to show them how easy it is to scale, or maybe the problem is actually more complicated than it seems due some hidden complexities or constraints none of us actually know anything about (either technical or business).

One friend I had in school qualified for free school lunch, so presumably below the poverty line.

His parents had a house, with a yard. There was air conditioning, cable TV, and each child had his own room. I distinctly remember a nearly-server-class PC much better specced than anything my family owned (a dual-processor desktop in the 1990's!)

Poverty stats don't tell the whole story, especially if they're only based on income levels. A wage that would have you living out of your car in SF might allow a squarely lower-middle-class lifestyle in the rural Rust Belt.

> Similar to what happened after the financial crisis with additional financial regulation.

But that's only temporary.

It's like developers starting over and promising themselves that they won't accrue technical debt this time. And then life happens and you need to push that feature quickly and a few years down the line, you're sitting there saying "we need to start over, this is too much trash held together by hopes and dreams".

Companies will cut corners, because that's their main focus. Politicians will reduce regulations, because that's how they stimulate locale economy, and we're back at square one in no time.

The only lasting shift, aside from potentially more work from home, is people making sure they'll always have an extra package of toilet paper. They won't flee the cities (where viruses can spread much better), even though the rent is killing them, and they won't go into voluntary lock down the next time a thousand people die in China of some lung disease.
My understanding is that they are talking about "free" bailouts without equity. This article [1] suggests this is the case for the airlines, which would receive a "grant", and small businesses, which would receiving tax credits. It is unclear to me if this is just a mischaracterization by the MSM.

I expect that workers will see very little of the 2 trillion dollar bill. $1000 for an estimated 30 million workers (~10X current numbers) would be about 1.5% of the bailout. 3 months of unemployment for the same would be about 10% of the total.

Here's one notorious example of Drepper's behavior:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4980

(2007) "gethostbyname() etc break for /etc/hosts with both ::1 and 127.0.0.1 localhost entries" Initially closed by Drepper as "WONTFIX" or "NOTABUG" (can't find state history and it's been a while!) with dismissive comments, continuing to do so after people patiently explained how this was a real issue. It was eventually resolved (I don't know by whom)
What about an English version of Toki Pona? (maybe Eng-Toki Pona?)

Why? Because English is very common already, and it seems an easy way to not only have usable words in two languages (English and Eng-Toki Pona) but also it would be useful to actually learn. (foreigners could _actually_ use this for real)

This is the biggest hurdle I have with made up languages, they have very little actual utility value.

As an afterthought, a simple charades like game where you have the limited vocabulary on a board, card or print out where people have to describe an event,book/story, object, movie, etc... using Eng-Toki Pona. Everyone could do it right now (even kids), and learn a new language at the same time. (one of the easiest ways to learn something is by making it fun and a game)

Edit: A reverse of this - Japanese-Toki Pona, all the same words, but in Japanese. Same with every other language (Russian, German, French, etc...). Then, after you learn one Toki derivative, you can easily pick up others. I figure it's possible you could learn the choppy/odd sentence building technique in your native language, and then add other languages later. Could also be fun as a group game once the English version gets easy. And all of these would be useful everywhere... not just speaking with other Toki Pona speakers.
Because the virus is spreading exponentially, the rankings for per-capita cases/deaths are going to be highly dependent on how long the outbreak has been going on in that area. Is the US's health care system worse than Palestine, Honduras, Cuba, and Pakistan?

I see you're using https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ for your rankings. The per-capita rankings are very sensitive to small populations. I think these 9 should be considered outliers:

San Marino (basically Italy): 21 deaths; Andorra: 3; Cayman Islands: 1; Luxembourg: 9; Iceland: 2; Channel Islands: 1; Curaçao: 1; Norway (half the pop of Sweden, but the cut-off has to be somewhere): 14; Slovenia: 6.

That leaves 10 places which I agree are currently doing worse in deaths per-capita: Italy, Spain, Iran, France, Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, UK, Denmark, Sweden; and 5 places doing roughly the same: Portugal, Austria, Germany, Ecuador, Greece.

However, the number of deaths per-capita is doubling every 3 days in the US. If we do 3 days worse then other countries, we'll pass Denmark and Sweden. A week worse and we'll pass the UK. 10 days and we'll pass France, Netherlands, Switzerland, and Belgium.
Yeah, and massively cheaper too. I bought a 5TB passport drive for £71 recently, an equivalent capacity desktop drive would be at least £200. The price disparity is insane.

A lot of apps are doing it without the developers even knowing about (ask me how I know). You just integrate their SDK for social login or something else and it will start sending data to the mothership.

It's funny that they only have 120 or so words, and one of them (pu) means "interacting with the official Toki Pona book."
Classes have several roles. They can indicate type. They allow meta programming (where a car is seen not as a car but as a bunch of stuff in the computer's memory). They allow shared state for their instances.

With objects that can directly inherit or delegate from each other you can put shared state in a parent object.

For the role of type the Self VM used things called "maps" that were not visible at the language level.

For meta programming Self introduced "mirror" objects.

I want to think so too, but I wonder how much less the devices are going to last me before they wear out. I know it depends a lot on usage patterns, though. Luckily, I needed these devices almost exclusively for reading, but I wonder if I reduced the available writes something massive.
If "Fake News" ever meant that for the majority of english speakers, it is gone. It seems to have skyrocketed in the modern lexicon as a way to attack media to shift the conversation. Whenever I hear someone use the term Fake News, I am immediately more critical of their words.
Let's imagine physics=boxing. No amount of reading boxing books, or watching boxing videos is going to teach you any boxing. To learn boxing you have to throw 10,000 punches. To learn physics, you need to solve 1000s of questions.

I'm not sure that this is a very good analogy. You can buy a heavy bag, and go out in your garage and throw 10000 punches - with no instruction - and still not know how to throw a proper punch. OTOH, you can watch a few videos, learn some technique, and then go refine it by throwing the 10000 punches in the gym, and be a lot better off. Of course, it still won't be as good as hands-on training from a proper trainer, but my point is that you need both in the boxing case.

For physics... eh, I dunno. My original plan for college was to major in physics, and then I discovered computers, and physics went (mostly) out the door and in the rear-view mirror.
this is why i define the middle class as the middle 3 quintiles of wealth rather than some nebulous standard of living, the latter of which can be manipulated more easily for political ends.

it's more obvious then to see that the 20-80% middle class standard of living has unambigously become more stressed, debt-laden, fearful, and immobile over the last 50 years, while the 1% has become much freer in all dimensions.

we need to bring that back into balance (which is not perfectly equal distributions by the way).

Then you were very unlucky in that you caught a different flu than the strains you were vaccinated against - there are 3-4 strains in a typical shot, but many more can come up during the flu season. Alternativey, you didn't have a real flu but a bad cold, which can be quite nasty in some cases.

I say a loud "I don't care!".

1) Put a law that prevents people from owning more than one rental house

2) Watch the market price of real estate fall tremendously (good!!)

3) At that point it will become economically feasible for people like me to buy a condo in the Bay Area, like it should be: housing is a primary need, more so in a high cost of living area

OR

1) Put a law that caps the maximum amount of rent you can charge to people, based on the bottom quartile of income for an area, or something like that

2) Watch the market price of real estate fall tremendously (good!!)

I am sure my reasoning has tons of blind spots and it's probably "economically immature", but I don't care. I see rich people around me hoarding multiple multi-million dollar homes and starving the rental market, while they sit on property taxes significantly smaller than my rent. They are not providing a service to society, they are benefitting from wild speculation at the expense of other people. It shouldn't be allowed to do that, it's basic logic.
Ask HN: Are you working on any Covid-19 related projects?
I've seen a few hackathons and such, and I thought we could discuss our projects.

I'm working on a project that I'm hoping turns into a wiki where every page is attached to a latitude and longitude. It's not released yet, and it only operates in my city, so far, but if people like it here the schema and other code should allow for it to operate elsewhere.

practically though what is the difference between having the endpoint in a shaft by the elevator or in your apartment or even down the street? in all scenarios i'd put my own router behind the ISP equipment and run my local network however i want.

the only issue is with getting a public ip address for inbound connections.

here we are not getting public ip addresses anyways, so the point is moot for me. but if you do get one, then all they need to do is configure their router to forward the public ip to yours.

in my case the ISP even installed two routers. one was theirs that i had no access to and one was "ours" that i was able to configure as i liked or replace with my own. both routers had their own wifi, but i don't use the one from the ISP endpoint router
