To me the full screen feature is really useful. I work with my notebook in a stand right by the side of an external display. On the notebook I keep everything in full screen mode except for the VS Code windows, which stay in the other monitor. When I need to switch from browser to Slack, Spark (email client) or Spotify, I just have to swipe with two fingers on my Magic Mouse or with four fingers in MacBook's Magic Trackapd.
There's a weird sort of thing here going where you seem to expect the government to act as a parachute for say a pandemic, but if the results are in any way negative they have to both eat the cost of the pandemic, and reimburse you if for some reason fighting it involves negatives for you.

That seems like double dipping / transferring responsibility of all the problems of the world onto the government regardless if they created them or not.
This absolutely will be the future of society. It was already happening and this will just accelerate it. Between streaming, gaming, video calling, food delivery, online dating, etc..., we're already most of the way there. Social spaces are shut down for the foreseeable future and might never recover.

As someone who's made a living in the restaurant sector most of their career, this is both terrifying but also exciting. Delivery was never the most exciting prospect because the economics were, for the most part, worse than dine-in, but in the absence of dine in maybe people will want expanded offerings? Lots of things to think about.
When China announced they had a mystery virus, travel from China should have been stopped.

When China locked down their country, travel from China should have been stopped.

I’m not sure what to say except that this post really moved me. We’re living in a strange moment where everything is going to crap for a significant portion of the world. At the same time, we’re seeing an outpouring of kindness and willingness to help from so many people. I think now more than ever there is reason to be hopeful.

I don’t know you, but there was a time in my life where I made a similar type of post on a similar type of website, and I found some comfort in talking to and hearing from others. I was going to private message you, but I have just learned that HN doesn’t have private messaging. Instead, I will put the onus on you: if you ever need an ear to vent to, I am open to alternate forms of communication.

Hang in there.
Little Snitch also nicely shows how Google will make increasingly desperate attempts to invisibly update its software in the background.

It starts with a request to Google.com from Google Software Updater. But if you block that and the follow ups enough times, in the end it will even try curl’ing directly to IP’s...

And I'm pretty sure they are not "in the game" to make it better for the average American.

Edit: if downvote, please explain why. I'm 100% sure his self interest isn't seperate of his function. Additionally, the family involvement in the white House and Trump not seperating his business as previous presidents did, IS a perfect example to proof my point.

Nothing indicates the opposite.
It is in the US. If your ideal model of government is something like China, the concept of the right thing for the people still requiring compensation to the disrupted individuals is pretty foreign.
Not sure if this counts but I like working from home because I have a dog that I feel guilty leaving for 11 hours out of the day every weekday - especially if it's going to be a particularly rainy or hot day and he has to stay outdoors. He's pretty easy going so I don't have to play with him all the time but just give him company.

Also after getting into full time work I realise I have no time for anything, my schedule after I get home is pretty much cook dinner, dog responsibilities, and 1 hour of spare time before I have to sleep (otherwise I'm yawning throughout the next day). I've just made an extra 3 hours free in my day because I'm not commuting to work.

It definitely takes more discipline to work from home because I get easily distracted. And I think I wouldn't mind it being on an on/off schedule as opposed to 100% WFH. I usually like being alone but I can see it starting to creep up on me. Our team recently did a virtual lunch and it worked better than I expected!

I don't think that's the usual definition of algebric extension. Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_extension) says that an algebraic extension is one where every element is the root of some nonzero polynomial over the base field. So for example the algebraic numbers would be algebraic over the rationals, even though they're infinite dimensional over the rationals.
I've heard so many things about Clojure. I am a CS student with some experience in the most used languages (JS, java, python). Can someone explain in simple cs terms why Clojure is sooo hyped? What can I do with this language that would be harder with other languages? From what I've gathered it's used in data wrangling and manipulation in general but most data-oriented tools are written in Python.
Consoles are really built for a price point above all else. Hence why they're always lacking in performance compared to contemporary gaming PCs.
I don't understand your response. Did you understand my question?

1. This glossary glosses e.g. conjungo as "to copulate".

2. This glossary glosses coire as "to cohabit".

3. Coire does not mean "to cohabit"; it means "to copulate".

Thus, the question:

Why does "have sex" need to be euphemised in the gloss of coire, but not in the gloss of conjungo?
Interesting that for Cauchy sequences in question they necessarily have to be non-constructive, i.e. one can't name any element in the sequence.

Edit: oops, not that. The sequence itself - not the "useful reals" element of the sequence - has to be non-constructive...

> The citizens of the United States are guaranteed the right to liberty.

The government is protecting people from companies that would force them to go to work and harm their help. The government is defending their health and liberty to say "no" to a boss demanding them to come in.

Your bike shedding comment made me laugh out loud :D
> The larger question is why the heck didn't the administration seeing what was going, on step in, and say this is an emergency situation, allow private testing!

At the risk of getting overly political for HN, it seems to me that the answer to that should be pretty obvious to anyone who has been paying any attention over the last three years: this administration has an active disdain for expertise of any kind. The only remaining question is whether the current situation will cause any of Trump's supporters to question the wisdom of valuing loyalty above all else (and particularly above competence). If not, then this is just the beginning of our pain.
Something I've done before to share a screen with coworkers is to work in tmux and start a web tty service like gotty (https://github.com/yudai/gotty). After you resolve the standard network issues (port visibility and whatnot) you just need to configure it with `tmux attach` as the starting command. tmux already supports shared sessions if multiple terminals attach to the same session, the session window size simply shrinks to the minimum of all clients. If you've established trust then you can use --permit-write with gotty to actually work in the same terminal. Hop into a voice chat and you've got pair programming.
The trade off is not installing Little Snitch.
I think people would normally call that a transcendental extension and not an algebraic one.
If you want to come out of lock-down, you really need a different test... you need a serological antibody test to tell if you've been exposed to the novel coronavirus (and thus have immunity from re-infection [0]). The current test can only tell you if you have an active infection. But before we can really open things up again, we'll need to know who is still at risk, and that requires the antibody test. There has been good progress in getting these tests to work, but it's not quite ready for prime-time.

And it will still be quite a while before we have a vaccine which is the ultimate goal.

[0] (assuming you can't be re-infected)
Sadly, by the time we get any production volume of these things we will have missed the critical timeframe we needed them.
Yes.

These companies are not struggling because the government told them to shut down. They're struggling because they're levered to the hilt with cheap debt from the Fed. They should not be bailed out and allowed to fail, because the management was incompetent and did not save any money for a downturn.

As an aside, this used to be a site of entrepreneurs and hackers. Sadly, now it is filled with government cronies and apologists of bad behavior. It's shameful.
> Everyone saw the CDC couldn't scale up in time. Everyone knew the FDA regulation...

No way that is possibly true. People realised they didn't have tests. A bunch of people of a liberterian bent or systems thinkers would have picked the FDA as the problem very quickly. But for most people diagnosing and rectifying that sort of snarl in a complex bureaucratic process would have taken about as long as it did. This happened at blinding speed for a bureaucracy fixing up its own problems.

There were compounding failures that required a government body to put their hand up and say "I have too much power" or "lets take a risk on letting some non-government actors take key roles". It wasn't going to work unless the executive happened by amazing luck of have an infectious disease specialist in a key role (maybe president or VP) who was already sweating at night about asymptomatic infections.

The problem is the legislative framework where first response in a crisis was to centralise the response on a single point of failure. It barely matters who the actors were, superhuman effort by one or two people can't reliably overcome a bad system. This should never have been a situation where the CDC making a mistake delayed the crisis response by months and nobody but the CDC/FDA had the power to fix that.
Because maybe in their experience - it definitely was in mine - it didn't happen at all in school. I always disliked school because of the other students that got in the way of my peaceful life. Never had a single friend throughout school and college, either.

Maybe you think social learning just happens by putting kids together, but that's bullshit. People like me who'd needed it the most didn't get any of it during school. There also wasn't much in regards to an education. In hindsight, school was a complete waste of my time, that at times negatively affected me because of bullies nobody did anything about. If only beating was still a thing when I went to school, then the teachers maybe would have beaten the shit out of the bullies, so they'd have to first spend a week in the hospital before getting suspended on top of that. Sorry, thinking of school always makes me angry.
“The government” is just people and in the US there are many people who don’t believe the government should have unlimited power, including many who work in the government as judges.
But rST is deeply linked to python: as far as I know the only existing implementation is in python, the touted "extensibility" is based on python, etc. Other languages don't seem to adopt rST because they don't have this deep relationship with it.

Markdown has a lot of implementations (with some fragmentation, granted) and is adopted by many diverse projects outside the python sphere.
Ok, that's not how React works either. React is not a "solution to package websites as applications".
I don't know if this is going to take off, but we desperately need something like this.
This is cool. I've been searching for a better screensharing tool but it always seems to be an afterthought in the conferencing tools we've tried so far. I usually couldn't care less about seeing the other person/people on the call but i usually care a lot about being able to see their screen.

Gave it a quick spin immediately and looking forward to using it more in future. Pricing looks about right for us too.

My feature request would be to make it easier to have it always on. For us friction to initiate is one of our biggest annoyances, if the whole team can have it on then knock (like sneek) to get the attention of the other(s) that would be great.
The legal technicalities are how you decide things like liability and what to do in such situations.

Without that it is just "something bad happened to me someone should pay".

Do we ignore that the pandemic itself seems to call for the government to do a thing? The pandemic sure isn't government action.
Looks good, am going to give it a test drive.

> It's an explanation that 'to cohabit' is substituted by the Latin 'coire', not a dictionary definition.

If it were really an explanation of how the English word is being translated into Latin, there would be no reason to use multiple inappropriate Latin words to substitute the same English word.

We should also note that the glossary appears in the "preface to the second edition"; in the first edition, you were apparently expected to read the text using your personal knowledge of Latin.

> And in all contexts cohabit specifically refers to the lifestyle of sharing a bed and regular sexual relations with someone who is not one's spouse

This is especially funny given that another word glossed as "cohabitation", conjugium, refers to marriage.

Aye, and it lives up to that claim as well in my opinion, despite being still relatively young and pre-1.0. My favorite thing about Zig is that it has managed to stay simple and solve many of the problems of C without resorting to greatly increased complexity like Rust (which is much more of a C++ replacement than a C replacement in my opinion).
There is no incentive issue there because the people in the government give zero shits about spending money in a time of crisis.
that was our thought too :/ On the plus side, you can come join our secret treehouse alongside the nice people at https://riot.js.org/ and https://www.riot-os.org/ who have RG hanging over their heads...
It's about priorities.

The US spends 15 times more money for military than South Korea but is still not able to comparably protect itself from a single epidemics. Instead, the U.S. citizens get what I've cited in another message here: "It will magically go away."

I wouldn't be so angry if that attitude haven't been contagious -- a lot of leaders of the U.S. NATO partners simply "followed the leader" and continued to sell similar story to their own countries.

Now the whole world is where it is.
The article is by a U.S. institute about a problem that only affects the U.S. There's nothing for the rest of the world to learn...they already did it right by using the WHO test.
This lacklustre response is still going on, the federal government simply isn’t taking this seriously.

Trump saying things will open up in just a few weeks and it’s important to restart the economy will cost thousands of lives by encouraging states not to lock down. Full lock down is now the only way out, and as it has spread, that will take months. Testing needs to massively ramp up too.

2000 people died in one day today globally from this, deaths have doubled in about five days and are growing exponentially.
I wonder if the reason to lower quality is really because of being generous to the rest of the world. That's just not Google.
I am quite into the online advertising world and I know that the current cpm/rpm ad revenue in many premium countries went down by 30-60%. This means a way lower margin for Google. One way to decrease the loss is lowering the total bandwidth
Is this down? I just get a black window and "Oops, something went wrong" popping up in the corner repeatedly.

Sure, I get why the regulations are there. However, here they clearly fail to serve their purpose. Are they going to protect volunteers from abuse? If not, then why should they be allowed to even use volunteer help? If the argument is that volunteers can just walk away when they don't like the conditions, why not simply give the same opportunity to paid workers? My point here is that regardless of whether the regulations have good reason or not, trying to work around them by hiring volunteers is utterly ludicrous.
A lot of people can't pay rent now, and people are starting to talk about how many days groceries they can afford before they run out.

The trouble is Apple shows this compromise is unnecessary. They work hard to block fingerprinting (especially on iOS) and it WORKS. iOS devices are mostly indistinguishable. Notoriously impossible to fingerprint.

Granted desktop fingerprinting is more of a challenge due to differing OS's, screens, GPUs for WebGL, etc. But it doesn't seem impossible.

They have also blocked third party cookies for so many years. The world did not catch on fire.
