Well trained tanks are quite familiar with dealing with artillery. They are highly mobile, can cross many kinds of terrain (not just roads), and are well aware of using terrain, random speed, and random directions to avoid artillery fire.

Pretty impressive that the ground pressure of a M1 abrams tank is less than half of my mountain bike with 2.6" tires.

On anywhere close to equal footing artillery is a pretty dangerous thing to shoot, as soon as your position is triangulated you'd best shut down and move.

Sure direct fire from tanks is 2-4km, but there are tank fired indirect fire weapons as well. Like say the XM1007. On equal footing I'd rather be in a tank (moving at say 20 mph on an unpredictable course and speed) than hoping for the best with artillery. After all even if you get lucky with 1 tank, there's never just one tank.

Even air superiority isn't as useful as it was. A drone up in the air for 5 minutes with a targeting laser can ruin your day.

Seems pretty weird these days to be investing in tanks, but not investing in the A-10 Warthog.
So do you as a libertarian support paying descendants of slaves reparations? That is new among libertarians for sure.
I‘d recommend buying a Surface Go. Using WSL you can tool up, like on any other machine. However, remember to grab the 8GB model.

Bufferbloat.

Ideally, at least for TCP applications, with perfect network congestion control, reduced bandwidth due to streaming should only degrade data rate, but never massively increase the latency. A slight increase is normal, but a huge increase is not. Unfortunately, in real life, it's often the case, and this aspect is often overlooked by vendors, developers, and sysadmins, making things even worse than it should be.

Network hardware or software is optimized for throughput, and its performance under heavy traffic is often not tested. One common practice is using a buffer that is as large as possible, so that you can push the data rate to the maximum and avoid dropping packets at all cost. This is called Bufferbloat and it's a latency disaster. When the upstream bandwidth is saturated, the downstream buffer keeps accepting more bytes/packets, effectively breaks the proper feedback signal used by congestion control algorithms, so it never kicks in in a timely manner, and the FIFO nature of the buffer means the latency of a saturated link is always as high as the buffer size. As long as something is using the bandwidth, the network will always be slow like a snail. When people start having this problem, they simply blame the bandwidth-intensive application, and set a QoS up to prioritize things like DNS and VoIP, and to punish downloaders (and big networks usually have incrediblely complex and elaborate rules), This appeared to "fix" the problem, but it does not solve the underlying problem, all it does is moving the problem to the low priority queue. Another trouble is unwanted buffer can exist everywhere, in applications, operation systems, and underlying hardware, and since there's a conflict between throughput and latency, and some buffers are even technically necessary (Wireless networks are the worst offender), there's still a long way to do to fix everything.

I am only speaking from my experience of managing small LANs, but I got most of the information from Dave Täht and Jim Gettys, who have been working on this issue in the last 10 years. Gettys writes extensively on bufferbloat in his blog that states similar issues exist at a much larger scale, including the ISP edge and backbone. Perhaps the vast majority of the case we are seeing here is caused by a lack of bandwidth and not related to bufferbloat, but I guess bufferbloat is still here to blame for at least 20% of the cases.

Here is a talk Dave Täht recently made: https://blog.apnic.net/2020/01/22/bufferbloat-may-be-solved-...

"Pantry" being a metaphor for whatever you have stored away, not a physical room. Regardless of your income unless it is extremely low or you are unemployed, whether or not you live paycheck to paycheck is a function of your decisions, not of your income. You will, in fact, have a considerably larger amount of money to spend, if you don't waste it on small volume frequent purchases.
> Lots of scare stories about potential pandemics back to January, in the US media

We live in an environment where the signal to noise ratio has been deliberately polluted by politicians to the point where actual signal is being lost. Everything that disagrees with the ruling regime, calls out incompetence, or is even slightly embarrassing, is "fake news". We've entered a scary time, indeed.

I don't know if your wording was intentional, but your comment gives the impression that you think this was "scare stories", when clearly, in retrospect, they were warnings. We should have listened. Some did. Leadership clearly did not.

The pandemic is getting worse and we're ramping up the finger-pointing. Instead, we should be listening to experts, mounting effective response, and holding leaders accountable. We continue to fail on that last point and shoot messengers.

There is a very real, if hidden, cost to economic suppression, especially in the United States where social safety nets are few and far between.

There's a line in the Big Short: "Whenever unemployment drops 1%, 40,000 people die". Surprisingly; this is more or less true, not movie drama. Its obviously difficult to draw causation between these two things, but there is causation. People have reduced access to healthcare. They have anxiety and depression from staying inside and being unable to socialize. They aren't working out as much. They can't take care of their family.

Let me present you this: People need N95 masks. Thank goodness, 3M is now churning out millions of them. But, wait... 3M is a company, but its staffed with people. So, those people need to go back to work, right? Those people need to drive to work, so they need gas stations, maybe even car maintenance. They need food, so supermarkets and restaurants need to stay open. Apply the same to people working in pharma factories, or our heroic healthcare workers, or many other industries.

The United States does not have a system that can stop. Some countries are built to be more resilient to stopping, and can do so over short periods of time. The United States is not one of them. If we don't get the economy started again, soon, people will die because we stopped the economy. Its a catch-22. There is no right way out, except to, hopefully, be more prepared and cautious the next time this comes around. But that doesn't help us today.
I am increasingly becoming more disenchanted and annoyed by the restaurant industry. Maybe many of them have to shut down. They don’t seem like viable sustainable operations if they can’t handle a couple of weeks of non-revenue.

Perhaps we could do with less restaurants and come up with a better system. Restaurants have always been a loss making venture..at least for the first five years...most fold after a couple of years. Running it on shoe string budgets and crowdsourcing funds or bail outs is not the answer.

Perhaps home cooking gigs where someone will come home and cook for you will become the new model. Or ghost kitchens. Or take outs. Much as people like to deride McDonald’s, there is a reason they have endured for decades and are still profitable. They nailed work flow to an art form. Meanwhile..FF to present times: most restaurateurs and chefs consider cooking to be ‘an art’ and ‘a passion’..an unfortunate side effect of cooking shows on tv and travel shows.

Consider this for example: https://www.mercurynews.com/coronavirus-emergency-measure-ma...

[..] You’ll be able to get that margarita to go under a temporary measure taken by the state’s Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC).

California restaurants may now sell “beer, wine, and pre-mixed drinks or cocktails,” for pick-up or delivery as long as it has “a secure lid or cap” (without a hole for sipping or a straw) and is sold with food. The state has also lifted its ban on alcohol sold at drive-through windows.

It’s one of a number of steps taken by the agency to ease the pain on restaurants and retailers hurt by the downturn in traffic caused by the coronavirus and shelter-in-place order, made statewide Friday night by Gov. Gavin Newsom.[..]

[..] ABC said it has “carefully considered the public’s health, safety, and welfare in providing this relief” and was acting on Newsom’s emergency order “to support the alcoholic beverage industry in its efforts to assist California in slowing the spread of the virus while assisting the industry in dealing with the economic challenges it is facing as a result.”[..]

I rest my case.

P.S: especially this [..] The state has also lifted its ban on alcohol sold at drive-through windows.[..]
Those two things aren't correlated. Lots of people without access to the banking system have mobile phones, and services have emerged to bring them into the system. For example, M-Pesa [0] is the first one that comes to mind.

Maybe more of the hype comes from the fact that its a Lisp. To get a feeling for the "magic" of lisp, I would suggest either watching SICP video lecs[0] or reading the book. I started learning lisp, almost the same time I've started learning programming with Java (college). Honestly I was thinking why they don't just teach us that, instead of Java at that time.

Also Clojure is created by a fairly respected dude (afaik) Rich Hickey. His talks and Clojure design decision articles on the site are really insightful.

Also this talk[1] also pretty good overview of different paradigms and `Clojure way`, imo.

I removed little snitch. :)

Micro snitch just alerts me when my mic or camera are activated. I can live with that.
I've been having this experience recently. I used to be a voracious reader of programming books. But for a long time starting, gosh, maybe over 5 years ago, I just couldn't get excited to read them anymore. Just recently I thoroughly enjoyed reading Designing Data Intensive Applications, and I have just started Streaming Systems, which I'm also enjoying a lot. I think this idea of fluff at different levels of abstraction explains it: I used to enjoy reading books about programming languages and frameworks, but at some point it just felt like fluff and I could no longer get through it. But there are books about techniques for solving particular classes of problem (in the case of my recent reading: data processing) which don't feel like fluff to me. But maybe they will eventually, and maybe you're already further on this continuum and would find these books fluffy as well. I'll definitely be thinking about this fluff at different levels of abstraction model and checking my self-education against it as I go now!

A lot of the other comments even right now are also deflecting from the topic being discussed - "what good does it do?". It shows how much HN doesn't even want to criticize this particular issue about the government. It's a root cause analysis and anyone who's been on call knows that if you want to avoid repeating this issue again, you have to keep notes/metrics/data while still working on fixing the issue.

This is going to drive future pandemic prevention and response. We better get this right. The death rate and demographic impact of this virus means humanity is not going to be wiped out. The next one could be more severe.
Technically you can't compare two countable sets using the Lebesgue measure, because they will both have measure 0.

I guess I should have qualified my post, I did look at Screen (OP) and it definitely does more than just sharing a terminal. It also just reminded me of something I've done before (Screen -> screen -> tmux -> gotty, the mind is so good at connections) which I thought was apropos and worth sharing.
I'm guessing based on the other reply that you corrected the date. But how does WHO repeating a statement from Chinese authorities (attributed in the tweet) have anything to do with the WHO's credibility?

Rather than wiping indexed DB data after 7 days, could you not just make it an opt in thing, like the camera or mic? For example, ask users "Allow myapp.com to store app related data on your computer?". If they allow it, then give access to indexed DB API. That way we can still have fully local PWAs.
Documentation for a software project should be fairly succinct and should be editable by anyone on the project. Developers are exposed to markdown on a near daily basis for other tools like GitHub, StackOverflow, and many other tools.

Markdown is the tool every one of us already know how to use.

> The markdown ecosystem is now riddled with non standard extensions and reminds me the browser ecosystem of y2k

Yet 99% of documentation I've written uses the basic syntax described here: https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax

Extensions add to that basic set of tools, so even if you are using Github's flavor of markdown, every single developer on your tool is going to be able to read and edit most of your documentation without referring to any reference material.
I did look at Discord pretty hard and even set it all up for this community. But in the end I decided that enough of my existing network, friends, etc. have Slack on their devices to keep it simple to begin. Also, there's just enough of a download/learning gap that I didn't want to risk. It appears that if we want we could transition to Discord later, but I don't have any experience doing that. Have you seen people get stuck on the wrong tool and be unable to transition?
If I wanted to do similar research to this, can anyone share a good method for obtaining a large corpus of apps like these researchers presumably did?

Within 48 hours or less if there is a national emergency calling to get it done. The main time sink is CAD work to get the part designed, and then designing mold cavity and runners and getting the EDM die made, and running the EDM process to create cavity. The injection molding machine if run by a competent expert team - they already know most pitfalls of things such as rib/wall thickness, shot weight, run time and temperature for a particular type of plastic. You can run test shots and optimize the injection molding parameters in a very short time.

Alternatively, its possible to just use Aluminium molds for upto 10k parts.

I’ve used VRBO. Worked exactly as it should have. My first experience with AirBnB, I ended up spending $1000 more for a single hotel room compared to the cabin I thought I’d rented. Digging in more, the host had dozens of listings, and there was likely fraud involved by the host. I blame AirBnB because they should have detected the fraud and banned the host. Policing their listing service is their responsibility, and them not doing it, impacted me financially, and they didn’t compensate me.

> A virus isn't considered life because they do not follow all of the characteristics of life. This lists consists of:

The list is regrettably a "science-education-ism". My phrase - I don't know of a real one... anyone? A divergence between science-education community practice and science community practice. A rather dramatic one. In actual science practice, "is it alive?" isn't an interesting question, and has none of the importance science-education content often places on it. And people who actually work with viruses, consider them alive. It's perhaps regrettable that so much education content presents the list as science, rather than as an education device. And even as a device it has difficulties, as it doesn't deal well with the richness of biology, including around parasitism, and a binary sort just isn't useful.
this place im looking at is within walking distance of main street in a nice little town, just outside of a major metropolitan area(think 30-45 min drive), includes water & gas, and the the complex is on the water. Because of that I'd say the place was a steal.

Otherwise though I'd generally agree. Rent is getting crazy in the US.
If the reproduction rate is 10, and you catch 70% of cases, then the effective reproduction rate will be closer to 3. Since even the highest estimates of the basic reproduction number are only about 4, a test that's 75% accurate means an effective reproduction rate closer to 1.

Are you aware of the difference between 4^x and 1^x?
My bank in Ireland (Ulster Bank) has a notice on the login page: "You will NEVER need your card reader [their 2FA] to log in". Last year they changed their login flow so you are asked to use your card reader to log in. I complained about it on Twitter but got a meaningless response about customer safety/new regulations.

If they wanted to train their customers to be phished, I can't think how they could do a better job.
Personally I do

So then that just means everything is alive

Which I also agree with

Energy is life. Life is energy.

Thanks for all your effort on the project. By far my best experience with zig was writing an OpenGL renderer on windows which then “just worked” when I cloned it ran `zig build` on my Linux machine. Felt like magic.
Perhaps the most responsible thing to do is to buy the existing tests, start immediately making your own, and then offer the tests to others the moment supply exceeds demand.

You get to save people first, and save face later.
I would have agreed with this statement about five years ago. (Even though you would have had to restart all the dependent binaries after updating the shared libs.)

Today, with containers becoming increasingly the de facto means of deploying software, it's not so important anymore. The upgrade process is now: (1) build an updated image; (2) upgrade your deployment manifest; (3) upload your manifest to your control plane. The control plane manages the rest.

The other reason to use shared libs is for memory conservation, but except on the smallest devices, I'm not sure the average person cares about conserving a few MB of memory on 4GB+ machines anymore.

Where do you draw the line though. What if companies stop trying because they know they'll be bailed out and it's safer to just remain closed and take the money. Several restaurants have changed to delivery/take-out only.

How do you decide how much to give a business? I don't think it's fair to just give specific industries money. Maybe the company you work for got hurt too but not as bad. Don't you they deserve money? You need to distribute the money to every business in a fair way, but it's pretty much impossible to determine what's fair. You can't just give every "business" the same amount of money and have it be "fair" for several reasons.

Ultimately, at the end of the day it's the citizens who need the money. The easiest way to fairly divide money among people is to divide it evenly. It doesn't matter if they are rich or not. I say give whatever money you were going to give to businesses and give it to the people instead. Don't rely on trickle down.
Are there similar libraries for the non-default but also-included wallpapers? I think I liked some of the alternative El Capitan wallpapers more than the default.
I don't think it's a failure of imagination on my part. It's just we already have a variety of technologies available that cover the low end of the power generation and using bacteria in this way would never compete with what is already out there.

That's not to say there isn't practical applications to this research. I just can't see power generation being one of them.
The 7-Day Cap on All Script-Writeable Storage is troublesome: if I don't log into a computer for a week 'cause I'm on vacation then you wipe my saved data?

Seems like a great way to drive less use of local browser storage options and promote greater use of cloud storage solutions. Cynical me says "YAY iCloud".
