Huh, well it figures that it isn't an easy problem to solve.

EDIT: I was looking at the wrong. I see, it seems like a nifty way to combine styles. But hmm, I guess this one of those things that what works for you, is good enough.

Somehow keeping the styles in the same file, inside the styled components, just makes everything easier to me. Granted the string interpolation is bit annoying at times for accessing the theme variables but ehh.

You can write and run React/Preact based applications "as is" without using a transpiler like Babel (you just typically do to minify code and use more fancy javascript features). You can't run a Svelte based application without precompiling it using the Svelte compiler.

I wrote about that in the FAQ: https://github.com/posce/posce#why-use-this-instead-of-lsgre...

## Why use this instead of ls/grep/wget/etc?

Posce is one app using one system on one directory. It's a very focused app, and that focus gives it a level of stability and uniformity I enjoy. Also, by using a single notes directory, you can use disambiguated names and get incredible brevity when entering commands.

I understand the author's claims to be "Svelte makes it hard to debug the compiled code, compared to plain-old uncompiled JavaScript" and "the Svelte runtime architecture makes it harder to observe the system as a whole, so debugging is harder".

I think the article would benefit from specific examples of where this caused a problem, and if e.g. whether the claim about "compiled code hard to debug" applies to Svelte in a way that it doesn't apply to TypeScript, Babel, etc.
So if I was going to make an authentic, “Englishman wearing a pith helmet and trying not to get malaria”-style gin and tonic, how would I go about that?

Also, I thought the gin was for making the tonic water palatable. The tonic water I’ve had is pretty awful by itself and the gin definitely brings something to the table in terms of moderating the flavor. I have to imagine that any tonic that actually worked would taste even worse.
I used to think the same, but I think it depends on where you are. Inside, or in fairly low light situations, matte screens are great.

However, as I'm currently working from a suburban house and am able to go outside, I've discovered the glossy screen of my 2013 MBP is actually more legible when the sun's up than a matte external monitor (Dell P2415Q), both set to maximum brightness.

Sure, there are way more reflections and I have to wear dark clothes, but if I use a light background I can see the text fairly well.

On my external display the light is so diffused that the contrast is terrible. Even if there are no reflections, text is so washed out it's much harder to read.
I have no clue how much it is actually used, couldn't find any info and fortunately I don't have any direct experience yet. If it is used, the lethality rate in Italian hospital definitely show it's not incredibly effective, at least in the way they are using it.
Wouldn't you say that sharing these metrics like revenue and traffic to the world is not considered open sourcing your data? I find it incredible.

A video game that allows anyone to try to solve for a coronavirus antiviral drug
Collecting stats on the progression from clinical presentation of the patient all the way to death seems to me a bit tedious, since death is altogether somewhat rare and when it does occur it's a lot of factors playing together.

But the following article really put the fear of god in me, as it's the first source I've discovered that gives you an idea of the rate at which patients progress from clinical presentation to "going severe". Here a doctor gives details on the criteria they use for separating patients which are not altogether that restrictive, basically just saying that the patient must test positive or have been in contact with someone who did: "We have an observation unit in the hospital, and we have been admitting patients that had tested positive or are presumptive positive; these are patients that had been in contact with people who were positive." Elsewhere in the article there is mention of the rate at which these patients progress to going severe: "About a third have ended up on ventilators."

https://www.propublica.org/article/a-medical-worker-describe...

My guess is that the clinical point of view around Covid-19 is currently probably a well-kept secret among clinicians and that Ioannidis probably doesn't have access to that kind of "inside information".
no, "hoarding" in this sense isn't a smear word on a buffer, it's buying 4/5/6x your normal buffer, to the point that people who haven't hoarded are now starting to be left without. I have a 48sqm apartment with 2 adults and a dog. we only _just_ have enough space for 3 weeks worth of all supplies. we're now running low on the things that people started panic buying a month ago, because of hoarding, not because of buffering.
Better data, is unlikely to be the cases as these are simply reports of ECC faults. Every large data center can collect this information equally easily. The ranges are simply for location or time specific variations not some uncertainty metric. You can read other articles about their hardware choices and why that may be an issue.
I'm just an idiot EE who learned to program, but it seems like functional languages without side-effects accomplish their task by basically working on data structures stored on the stack. That basically means each call stack has its own data structure. If you wrote threaded code so that each thread had its own data structure, and worked off a shared set of read-only data structures, you wouldn't need to worry about locking.

IME locking isn't really all that hard until you need to squeeze out performance. If you can handle one big dumb lock around everything, it's easy. The finer grained your locking gets, the harder it is to get right(even then, lock hierarchies can help to a great degree).

It's a meme, alright, but how do you know they don't?

(BTW. a month's worth of food takes less space than a month's worth of TP.)
Would be great to see some code examples which exemplify the problems that the author is talking about, and compares it to alternative frameworks. Currently it's only about half a blog post.
Maybe, but please don't post unsubstantive comments here. I realize it's frustrating when others are wrong on the internet, but the only valid moves are to (1) patiently provide correct information, or (2) let go and not post. Snark and/or venting just makes things worse.

I think there are still some unknowns (number of infections without any symptoms, etc.), but so far, this approach doesn't seem viable: If we keep infections low enough that the health care system can deal with the severe cases, it will take us more than two years to develop herd immunity. By that time, we will (hopefully) have a vaccine anyways.

So the better strategy might be to not drive the health system to its brink (also not clear how well it could sustain that strain for long anyways) and instead keep infection numbers very low until we have a vaccine (while opening society and the economy as much as possible).

In each case, we need to keep R0 more or less exactly at 1.0 . If it is any bigger, we have exponential spread which will quickly overwhelm the health care system. If it is much smaller, we have gone overboard with containment measures and should relax them to ease the burden for society. The only difference is how much strain is put on the health care system (which is usually already operating close enough to capacity without a pandemic).

> The other (small) problem with herd immunity is that it assumes immunity for a long period, which has no evidence to support it.

True that we don’t know that conclusively here yet, although I wonder if we could base it off other similar viruses. Nobody to my knowledge has been reinfected.

Speaking of no evidence...

> Another (small) problem is that there is permanent tissue damage in the lungs in those that recover.

There is no evidence of that in COVID-19 yet. That doesn’t mean it won’t show up, but it doesn’t mean it will. You’re referencing something that happened in related SARS and MERS diseases which killed over 35%, not 0.35%, of those infected. It’s easily a 2 orders of magnitude worse disease.

If you have data or studies share them. Otherwise, stop fearmongering.
I agree it would be nice to add. Is that something you need to worry about when using the standard synchronization APIs though? They all handle memory fencing for you, no?
After looking into it, it does seem that it's simply a hardware implementation of SNN's. And reading from the wikipedia, it does seem that SNN's are less hardware intensive anyway so I am now wondering why make hardware specifically for it if, as you said, GPU/CPUs can run it no problem. I'm also wondering why they would double down on hardware when from cursory research there isn't a holy grail of training like there is in ANN's.

Still, looking at SNN's was pretty interesting.

@fortylove That's a really good idea. I'm going to add simple math in the table editor.
quite some time back, there was a position statement by QED Investors (the guys who were the first investors in CreditKarma) - https://s3.amazonaws.com/qed-uploads/The+Copernican+Revoluti...

It talks about how branch based banking will split into various parts - one of which will be distribution of fintech products by players like Instagram, Facebook, etc. Essentially commoditizing fintech.

But simultaneously, vertical neobanks/fintech would be created by those who can create the best of products in a particular niche. Instagram is not a niche. Uber could be (however has failed spectacularly in the past - https://www.theverge.com/2017/8/8/16112498/uber-phase-out-xc... ...but still has ambitions in the future https://www.theverge.com/2017/8/8/16112498/uber-phase-out-xc...)

So im wondering what's the future of fintech and lending. Do dating apps and social apps plugged to bank backends become the only viable fintech play (like Apple Card and Goldman Sachs) ? A16Z has been plugging this theory - https://a16z.com/2020/01/21/every-company-will-be-a-fintech-... - Or will verticalized fintech still win out like QED says.

IMHO Spotify and Instagram are not verticalized.
One of my first engineering jobs in the late 70's was working at a paper dryer manufacturer in southern Maine. The owner's son had a little side company the was building process control systems for the dryers with Multibus based computers and 8080 processors.

Since the company was so small, we all had multiple roles including installation. I ended up visiting many different kinds of paper mills such as oil filter paper and roofing paper. But the most insane sites were the toilet paper mills. Just ginormous machines spewing out TP at 5000 feet per minute. Noise so deafening, you had to wear heavy duty ear protection and use hand signals.

One time we were installing a system in Medford, Oregon. The plant electrician was inspecting our install and the owner's son is showing off our relay rack to him. He pulls out a random relay (they were in octal sockets) to show the electrician what we were using. Turns out the relay was in series with a live circuit on the dryer, and the line goes down.

After they get the line back up, the foreman comes over and tells us how much money that mistake had cost them. I can't remember the figure, but it was pretty embarrassing. Doh!
The answer seems so obvious. Do a hard, air tight quarantine of people of advanced age. People who are borderline or sick are told to stay inside. Encourage the rest of society to go about business as usual. Provide government support for all of it. Some people will die but probably less than if we have to do this over and over again without ever gaining herd immunity. And few enough to massively ease the burden on hospitals. And it’s the best way to avoid Great Depression 2020.
The big thing is he's making a big assumption that there's some natural limit to the total infection rate that can be achieved by the virus - less than 100% and less than the 30% of the cruise ship. That seems plausible but it's essentially based on zero evidence. Diseases have wiped out societies so there's no rule I can saying Covid couldn't achieve a disastrous 30% penetration of the population. No country has had the guts just say "let's see how far this can go" and fortunately so.

An extreme worst case would be maybe 3% of the population dying. The Syrian civil war killed 2% of the Syrian population over several years, so this sounds bad. But US regular death rate is about 0.88% you could fudge and claim people would barely notice. But Covids is a very messy death and would destroy the health care system, which people would notice.
Hackintosh are hard to build, by any reasonable definition, even for an average HN users. It's possible some people find that easy, but surely it is much harder than following an even medium difficulty tutorial.

That's still the tail waggimg the dog. Once you decide that a weapon or tactic is ineffective for you, but might be useful for your enemies, then you portray it as inhumane and sign treaties about it. There will always be some weapon or tactic you can treat in this way.
In React, they're basically all JavaScript. Even for JSX people can imagine themselves as compilers, and can easily write down the JavaScript output by hand - it's totally predictable. It's really a super thin layer of DSL with nothing interesting at all.

In Svelte, people cannot do that for a fairly small application with only hundreds lines of code.

This does not make much sense to me. If it was effective, it should decrease the lethality rate, not the growth in the number of deaths which is much more affected by the actual number of cases. In the page you link you can see that lethality rate has not fallen. Also, as I wrote I'm pretty sure that I saw an earlier version of that document, dating IIRC to the beginning of the month, that prescribed more or less the same combination of chloroquine and antivirals as a first line treatment.
That kind of unsubstantive comment is not cool on HN anywhere, but particularly not in the Who Is Hiring threads, where there's no opportunity to establish whether or not the accusation is true.

That account posted two nearly identical comments about completely different companies, and has zero other posting history here. Those are not good signs. If HN is going to have a job board, it's not fair to let just anyone come along, smear people's posts, and significantly affect their company's reputation, without any due process.

If that seems unduly restrictive to you, I understand. But we've seen many cases of people taking advantage of the public forum to smear others in dodgy or unfair ways. As I explained at that link above, bad corporate behavior is a thing, and bad internet commenter behavior is also a thing. An HN job thread is no place to adjudicate which is which, so we need to err on the side of not going there.
I don't think it's the fact that the pictures are taken in America that suggest there's "something sinister lurking in the darkness".

Pictures are taken by people, and the fact that an American chose to take such a picture may be interpreted as an expression of that person's then sensibilities. That can mean that "he was suggesting that America, even at its most beautiful, had something sinister lurking in the darkness". That's because he chose to show those things, because those things are what he felt had "meaning".
I came up with a similar setup recently, and it works great. Also lets you keep the main gitconfig in version control with my other dotfiles

Hosting cost is the biggest barrier to building a video conferencing solution which scales to millions of users. We setup a Jitsi meet instance and with just 6 parties it pegged a core on the server CPU at 50%.

Admittedly one of the users was on Firefox which causes CPU load to spike with Jitsi but either way video conferencing is bandwidth and processor intensive.

Otherwise the WebRTC technology is stable and works well across browsers - especially for audio. Just scaling it and getting folks to pay for it so it’s economically feasible to host is another thing.

Jitsi have some good videos about autoscaling/load balancing Jitsi Meet here:

>Sure, but an equivalent conventional high explosive would have likely killed all those 1,000 people, wouldn't it have?

Looking it up on wikipedia, most suicide bomber vests weigh roughly as much (5 kg) or up to 4 times as much (20 kg) as all the sarin used in this attack (5.45 kg). I've never heard of a single suicide bomber, using a vest, injuring 1,000 people. So I am inclined to think the chemical approach is more efficacious.

In fact that's another little nitpick I have with the article - it's high explosives that heavily benefit from tightly packed situations, as they're a one-and-done sort of deal. The sarin gas though was able to be spread all along a tube system, and cause problems for huge amounts of people.
I think it shows the sheer incompetence of Google product management that they managed to lose the strong hold Gtalk had. Gtalk worked. People liked it. Hangouts too worked well. I used hangouts in browser in 2013 and it worked very well.

Somehow google decided to replace hangouts with allo and duo, and then deprecated allo, and moved to RCS. I never understand how such decisions get made. Do they think customers have infinite loyalty and will move to any new product launched by the company. A lot of people I know used hangouts. Very few use Duo.
