Hi there!

We're Peoplelogic.ai—a people analytics, employee experience, and performance management platform for SMBs. We formally launched our platform last week (March 17th).

When we set out to develop Peoplelogic.ai, it was not our intention to create a platform that could benefit remote-only companies. However, what we’ve noticed from working with our partners and initial set of users/customers during the past few weeks, is that the platform is a great tool to help managers and teams that are making the transition to remote-only or remote-capable work.

While remote work is becoming more common, the training around remote (people) management is behind the times. Peoplelogic gives managers a holistic view of what’s happening across all of the tools your team uses. As a manager, you’ll get an integrated activity stream that showcases your team's accomplishments, reduces the need for unnecessary stand-ups, and prevents you from becoming a micromanager. The platform also automates guidance and recommendations, helping to take the guesswork out of people management.

Based on the current integration set, we're primarily focused on helping Product/Engineering, Sales, and Support teams within tech-enabled industries. We appreciate any feedback!

Tailwind helped me break that bad habit with ‘mx-‘ and ‘my-‘
> I'm glad to see uBlock Origin getting some much needed competition,

Why does uBO need competition? It appears to me that it offers the best combination of features and performance out there.

Moreover, the choice to implement as a proxy has some serious drawbacks, features like uBO's cosmetic filters won't be practical to implement in a proxy.
Didn’t WHO initially say that while working with the Chinese they determined it was not spreadable through contact of items?

EDIT: yes, of pets and items:

> When asked, "Is it safe to receive letters and parcels from China?" [WHO] Answered, "Coronaviruses are safe because they do not survive long on letters and other objects."

> In response to the question `` whether a new coronavirus can spread from pets '', `` at present there is no evidence that pets such as dogs and cats can be infected with the new coronavirus '' is.

There is also Taiwan showing that its likely China is misleading the WHO (would China ever do that!?)
We saw what happened in China and then Italy. Nothing bad happening would not have gone unnoticed.

Plus, the idea that our elected officials let people die in some sort of racket to prove their use is more reason to boot them out of office than a peaceful term.
"People here are saying..." is the parent's argument. The situation is very similar: people here, on this forum, aren't a representative sample of the market, outside. That statement holds even when said market is comprised of developers.
Disagree, I have serious doubts you could confuse the two. I can see almost no context where 'Riot (Games)' and 'Riot (Anti-Phish Company)' could be meaningfully confused.
> I'll throw my voice in that "screen" 100% refers to GNU screen in my friend circle.

> 1M Developers: GNU Screen exists you know.

> 90M+ Customers and Businesses: Take my money now! Let's use 'Screen' to screen share!, Yay!

I'm pretty sure that 'Screen' would appeal to businesses and customers who really just want to get on and instantly collaborate with who ever rather than to know that something called GNU Screen exists and would be less likely to be confused by the conflict anyway.
What proof would you accept?
Ford plans to build 1k respirators per month and 100k face shields per week
I will continue to maintain that Trump's instinct to reopen things is largely selfish in nature, but that does not mean that opening things back up to a certain degree does not make sense for those most economically vulnerable. Right now we are stuck between getting sick and getting those we love sick, or risk losing our livelihood, homes, and a way to support our families. Really not a great place to be, and some balance between the two extremes must be struck. It seems sensible that those least likely to suffer deleterious effects should be allowed to return to work and school and we should try and continue to support those most vulnerable as best we can at the state and federal level. I have also seen suggestions that any direct stimulus funding should have an expiration date so that we can be sure that the money get used immediately, otherwise it does little good.

Long term, I really hope that more Americans wake up to the threadbare reality of our healthcare system and social safety net so that systemic shocks like this are better planned for.
Real developers use a content management system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_management_system
Yeah, I can totally see how in some circles, "screen" is synonymous with GNU Screen, and that our choice of name would be confusing. Sorry about that! I’ve posted a top-level comment about the naming issue, in case more context is helpful.
Apache Tapestry 5.5.0, Java 12, on-the-fly TypeScript compilation
Ebola is named after a place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebola_River .
Pandas and numpy & friends will be in Chapter 9 that I had not yet time to finish (the semester runs until end of April and is currently at Chapter 5).

Furthermore, it is a programming (!) course, not (!) a data science course.

Please define data science to me. Is it "only" curve fitting to you? Or also optimization (e.g., in logistics)? Then, dynamic programming (and because of that recursion) is super important.

I rely on Jupyter notebooks mainly because it is a course for people with absolutely no prior experience that also do not major in CS.

.py files are actually explained in Chapter 2 and will be used in a follow-up course.
I'd very much prefer the Cosmo because of the backlit keyboard. I guess battery usae is going to improve with future firmware updates. Some progress has already been there if I remember correctly.
I used tickmate to track symptoms. It's a one bit journal for android.

The root of civic liberties is preserving autonomy of the individual. To the extent that actions making an epidemic spread directly endanger lives of other people, it's kind of obvious to me that we have to have means to control that. I'm saying this as a strong, I think, civic libertarian.

The difference between this situation and the usual pretexts used to curb liberties is that 1. we know pretty well, scientifically, what is the problem and how it acts (not this specific virus, but in terms what diseases are in general) and 2. it's comparatively clear when such a crisis begins and ends. Compare that with the typical scenario of some dangerous people doing shady things, we don't know who and where, the government can't tell us, and we are to just give the state permanent and not clearly delineated powers.

Epidemic and war are the textbook legitimate emergency states.

To that extent I almost feel that talking about this crisis in terms of civil liberties may be harmful, in that it may make people more susceptible and desensitized in the long term in these discussions.
> Nobody this year will be confused what is being talked about.

You'd be surprised. My relatives sent me a conspiracy theory video based on the fact that Lysol wipes manufactured in fall 2019 claim they kill "Coronavirus". So obviously the global conspiracy knew of the virus in advance!
No Spanish flu was first reported on a military base in the USA. But we call it the Spanish flu even if we don’t know it’s original origin. Stigmatizing areas is stupid. China earned it but we are better than that.
You could argue that margins are part of the element, just like padding and border are, so
I am not sure how much matters, but Italy has a high population density, higher than China: 201/km2. China has 145/km2, while United States has 36/km2.
This mean that people are more widespread, so it should be easier to isolate parts of United States than it is to isolate parts of Italy, in case there are problematic areas. In short, New York might become a center of epidemic, but probably not the whole United States.
They were playing chicken with insurance. Whichever side cancelled would have not get insurance coverage for their costs.
Well let's hope sanity prevails in a few small pockets like that at least. This whole thing is bad enough without further avoidable problems.
China infiltrated the WHO (Wuhan Health Organization) and installed their puppet as its leader.
Complaints About "Considered Harmful" Titles Considered Harmful...

I like the colorful history of this phrase, and how it usefully marks the following argument as an unbridled assault against purportedly common wisdom, so we can treat it with the huffy disdain with which we should normally treat such cheeky endeavors.
I like the way @wongmjane put it, "Basically margin is like side-effect"

https://twitter.com/wongmjane/status/1242370883320049664?s=2...

I remember @jpochtar and @gablg1 had a similar take in "Technical lessons from building a compiler startup for 3 years". Under "Don’t trust standards", they wrote "We had no issue w/ using invisible spacer divs instead of the more “semantic” margins or paddings."

https://medium.com/@gabriel_20625/technical-lessons-from-bui...
“Never touch them again” means don’t reach for those primitives when higher level tools are available. Learning about them is fine.

It’s like with cryptography - don’t roll your own solutions just because you know what xor is. You’ll fail miserably.
'Yeah, who cares about the health of those backward Eastern Europeans!'

- the collective unconscious of Europe

A bulgarian friend told me many in Eastern europe say they feel like second class European citizens. That they are 'under' Western European countries like France, UK, Germany, the Netherlands, etc. and also the Nordics.

I see this pattern also in how the propertied + rentier [1] upper classes in the US (like Trump or anyone who wants to reopen the economy in the middle of a pandemic [2]), who don't care about the Precariat caring classes who subsidize their lifestyles in the first place. This sacrifice is now even coming close to being asked to pay with their lives.

EDIT: op added "of items" to his question, dramatically changing it
I'm not sure what purpose of the server is at the start in that example, but sure, that's a common serverless architecture. S3 has an option to host static websites. You can upload HTML/JS to an S3 bucket and it will serve the content. Unless the site is truly static, the JS will be making requests to other servers/services/APIs.

Obviously it's on a server, but the "serverless" part comes from not having to provision and manage a server. You can put your code a a service and allow those services (S3, Lambda, API Gateway, etc...) to do the "server" work for you.

Serverless is kind of a generic term. I guess hosting sites like GoDaddy that allow you drag and drop some PHP, HTML and JS files into a CPanel type interface are technically serverless, since you're not managing a server. Put some code up there and let their platform run it for you.
Scientists have a systematic method of classifying any naming viruses now. School yard nicknames from the 20th century are no longer necessary.
So when you say ChinaVirus are you talking about the novel Coronavirus, SARS, HantaVirus?

It's a stupid renaming whose only purpose is 1 thing, and that is to rile up Trump's base for the November election.

It's also dangerous and stupid, but we don't even need to go that far to reject it outright.
Attempts to incite xenophobia and construct a foreign "other" for use during the 2 minute hate aside, the people of Winnipeg have suffered enough by living in Winnipeg.
I just posted a top-level comment to address the naming issue, which a number of people have now brought up. Sorry for the confusion!
Easily fixable if you stop testing, or officially attribute death to something else.
They even lobbied WHO to change their rules 5 years ago https://www.who.int/topics/infectious_diseases/naming-new-di... in preparation for COVID-19. Conspiracy grows thicker.
It's too late for extensive testing. The US is analogous to someone who was just exposed to a massively lethal dose of radiation, but still mostly feels fine for now. The damage is already done, and it's going to start showing up regardless of what is done to prevent it.

Covid-19 has already massively spread in the US, and it's just a matter of days before large amounts of the population become symptomatic. It's too late to do anything about what's coming, and what's coming is going to be really bad.
I think you're right but I thought of one other counterexample, Marburg virus (named for the site of its first outbreak, near Frankfurt, Germany).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marburg_virus_disease#1967_out...
The fact that it’s not specific enough really is a problem. We can call it COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2, but that kind of precision is inconvenient.
Are you implying that China would hack the Taiwanese system and use the data to somehow identify dissenters within mainland China?
I use popOS on the UX330UN, not the exact same model, but fairly similar. I haven't had very many major issues with pop, but it is the only distro that hasn't given me any.
You have a third choice.

3. A social support system that will keep non-essential workers in their homes, and keep them fed, until the emergency ends.

A particular political faction seems to be willing to sacrifice millions on their ideological altar, if it means avoiding option #3.
Stop calling it the epicenter now. Covid-19 is here to stay and it will run its course. And the entire planet is already an epicenter

The US seems to be preparing itself quite well to handle the scale of severe cases. And I hope they walk the talk. And increased testing is obviously going to increase the number of cases.
Yet funnily the IOC, broadcasters, various contractors who build the stadiums, the travel and hotel industry...all seem to profit.
How is social distance enforced when you are riding pillion on a motorcycle?

Name another country with the population of India, level of illiteracy, lack of civic sense, and general disregard for rules. If said country exists and has implemented a scalable solution, let's propose it to the Indian authorities.
When the entire world is saying Coronavirus and Donald Trump is the single person trying to make Chinese Virus "a thing", you know there's something wrong with it.
Look at hospitalizations, not confirmed cases. NY state is projecting a peak in 2 weeks with rather effective social distancing and lockdown measures and the peak will still overwhelm ICU's and # of hospital beds. States that aren't taking this seriously will see a much larger peak later and won't have the medical resources NYS has.
But that's not a problem unique to China. Historically people from stronger/wealthier nations have underestimated others in poorer nations, especially when the poorer country is on the defense. Mongols vs. Vietnam, UK vs. Maori, Japan vs. China (China took a beating but Japan thought they can win the war in 4 months and China's strategy did win out in the end at great cost.), Chinese nationalist vs. Chinese communists, France vs. Vietnam, US vs. Vietnam, China vs. Vietnam, USSR vs. Afghanistan, etc.
But the parent consuming a component can add margin to the child component without breaking encapsulation.
Fair. COVID-19 would also work for me. That's used enough that people know immediately what you're talking about.
If you're asking for my personal evaluation, yes, I believe that at a certain point, it's clearly worth trading quality of life for quantity of life. This applies to my own life. For example, I would rather take a 50% chance at survival versus living the rest of my life in abject poverty and emotional turmoil.
I guess it's closed-source. That probably means I can't use it. Are there any plans to open-source at least the client?
There’s a component with awfully wide margins? No problem, -mx-?, -my-?.

Fuck it, I’m gonna use SVG for layout in my next web app.
The implication that every action that's not maximally racist is some kind of SJW plot is getting pretty old. Got any new material?
That's the advantage of a decentralized system. Without everyone following centralized orders if the central authority's wrong not everyone gets screwed. The iconoclasts might end up ahead, or they might end up behind, but at least there's a bit of experimentation. That's probably the best argument against a global government in sci-fi. Having all of humanity under the same government is putting all your eggs in one basket.
Masks Work. Wear Them
I've been using Invision's Freehand tool [0] for whiteboarding in online meetings (also it's free). It's mostly worked about as well as a virtual whiteboard could be. It also allows for collaboration so everyone can draw on the same whiteboard at the same time.

I'm betting on them doing this already. However, what will happen is that most of these printed money will go to billionaires CEOs. Even worse, we can't change this because this is how our (US) system works and it's been proven in the past century that it works better than other systems.
I hope there are no companies that hire a "data scientist" that only speaks HTML :)

The course aims at students of business administration. What do they usually do? Maximize some profit function. So, my background is really more traditional Operations Research.
That’s really interesting. Do you by chance have a write up or example of how this is done? I’d like to try this too.

I work at a large professional services firm (think Big 4), so the risk of any single breach in our network is taken pretty seriously. Our IT department added an Outlook plugin years ago that you can use to immediately reporting phishing attempts to them. As a bonus, they'll sometimes send these "tests" and if you select to "Report Phishing", you'll get a atta-boy type notification. I would assume at a macro level, they have stats on everyone and know who the "riskier" employees are. I have no idea if this is done inhouse at other large companies.

Sidenote/ question for you: some of the "test" attacks my company sends are very specific to the work we're doing and can sometimes sound very convincing. Do you have a catalogue of "attacks" based on industry or department (procurement might fall for something completely different than sales or marketing)? I'm sure with enough tests, you could measure the effectiveness of attacks (or maybe the difficulty of detection)... then you can start rating organizations not just based on what percentage of folks fell for it, but what specifically they fell for, or what was more likely to get them to bite. Almost like targeted training?

Cool idea overall and wish you guys the best.
This kind of salesmanship sliding into fraud is getting more common in the US.

ADT (the big home security company) had someone come to my house that I recently bought. He insisted he was not a salesman. He pretended that the house had previously been using their services (but didn't out right say it). He asked if the escrow office informed me, and said that their system was 'already set up'.

Of course, it wasn't. It was a ploy but a confusing, sinister one.

It's troubling that such a large company can get away with this legally.

It's also not surprising that the merchants of fear (selling security) are employing such tactics.
> Following your path, the complexity becomes contemplating why one should use lesser known web servers instead of what one is more likely to be familiar with.

Read what I wrote again. "Seeking out" is not limited to just choosing a different package, it includes the cognitive costs of exploring an option that is hitherto unknown to oneself.

You only think I'm squirming because you are qualifying what "seeking out" means to a narrow view, ironically.

How would one who is unfamiliar with those "simpler HTTP servers" even know the fact without diving into comparing the complexities of Apache and nginx against the other options? Why dive into that complexity if one is already familiar with Apache and nginx, in this use case (I'm sure you'd agree that the average person tasked for this would be more likely to be familiar with those)? This is the point you're missing.
I think another bit of context that is often missed with this quote is that there was substantial rumor-mongering about what Apple was doing, and a lot of people were expecting something a little more obviously revolutionary or at least further-along-the-tech-curve than a design-optimized MP3 player.

The correct name for virus is SARS-CoV-2. The resultant disease it causes in humans is named COVID-19. Simple.

Anyone is free to make up whatever names they like, and the rest of the world is free to ignore them and use the correct names.
Hi, is this Contract or Fulltime?
We’d ideally like to create one or two distributions that are most widely useful, instead of having to support every single option out there — we picked Snap for this reason. Slack also supports Snap + Debian as their only two options, from what I understand.

Could you please post this as a feature request on https://support.screen.so so we can follow up with you and update you on our progress?
Ask HN: Advice during Covid 19
Amidst the craziness of everything going on in the world I wanted to extend office hours to anyone that wanted some advice about how to navigate this current situation. I am a YC Alum who currently runs a small business in the student travel space. I would probably be most helpful to anyone in either the travel space, or who is operating a small-business that has been impacted and wants some thoughts on how to communicate to customers as well as navigate the difficult financial burdens this may be placing on your company.

I will be making myself available from 1-3:30 EST Mon-Sat for the next several weeks to check in with anyone that wants to discuss their situation and any feedback I can provide.

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HNTHX99

If anyone knows an easy way to setup a public calendar for people to fill out please comment and I will adjust. For now, I'll have this survey up and will be e-mailing people back with times.
I almost didn't read the article because of the horrible title. Anyway, I just want to say this is one of the things I like about elm-ui (a ui-library for the elm programming langauge that replaces HTML/CSS). It has the concepts of spacing and padding. No such thing as margin. https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/mdgriffith/elm-ui/late...
