Galago Pro owner here: I do not recommend this laptop. It's my daily driver at home, and I mostly love it. However, it's only usable because I have an external mouse and keyboard. The built-in keyboard has keys that are hard to press, the trackpad is almost unusable, and the speakers are also laughably bad and quiet. The laptop's build is thicker and heavier than it looks. If you removed the System76 labeling from the laptop and asked me what brand I thought it was, I would guess Acer, and that is not a compliment.

I traded in my MacBook Pro for this one because this has native Linux support, and the cost was the same at $1,600. The hardware qualities are night-and-day different. Granted, a small company like System76 doesn't have the economy of scale that Apple does, but this knowledge doesn't make me feel much better about my purchase.

System76 just came out with a new version of their Lemur laptop, which is slimmer and more portable. It may be worth a look. See here: https://system76.com/laptops/lemur
In terms of grocery stores seeing more revenue, This is likely largely explained by a shift in spending of food dollars from restaurants to grocery stores. You go to work, you generally buy lunch somewhere, and people can't go out to eat anymore. Delivery still exists, but I wonder how they are doing- there is a general sense of fear around having people come to your house.

I would only actually cook maybe 1.5 meals a week at home before this- lunch was served at my job, Friday/Saturday we would go out to eat, I would cook on Sunday and snack on whatever during the week.
Thanks for giving it a whirl! Having some kind of subscription and monitoring service is definitely an option in terms of where to take it. I'm torn on whether my time is best spent doing that or adding features and improving the UI. Good to know its useful!
I’d think a real developer would know how to best allocate their time. If a standard WordPress blog gets the job done, spending tens to hundreds of hours custom building your site when the purpose is the content, not the site itself, it seem like time not well spent.
> even $2k/mo on the side can really help

Bought a house few years ago living on $2k/mo. Finished paying it off last year. Good spending habits go far
No need for a real-world example or an exact definition of performance or efficiency, just make up something sensible.

How can efficient sorting be implemented with immutable data structures? Genuinly curious.
It wasn't too horrible when I was going to UT in the 80s. But I-35 in Texas now is basically a 500-mile-long parking lot. (Well not now. Right now it's probably a ghost highway.)

There's a major upgrade in the works. All the elevated roadways would be eliminated.

From the CDC
As of 24-Mar there have been 589 deaths of 46292 tested which is 1.27% Mortality Rate. Not 3% or 4% as was initially reported. The more we test, as the days go on, we see this is not nearly as deadly as we thought. This will continue to decline as we test more and probably be around Germany and Korea's < 0.5%
I agree. Although at some point, any beginner must be exposed to the command line :)

My observation about myself when studying is this: Nothing, no video course, beats a well written book. And, such books are often "slow" reads as you have to think a lot when reading. I found Jupyter notebooks a good instrument to put a lot of info in. My guess is that there is three times the info in my course's notebooks as there is in the 25 hour video recordings.
Exactly - That's why I wondered how because I really want to know how in case I traveled to a place that only uses toilet paper again :)

But in my place, you are not allowed to throw anything into the toilet and use a bin instead.
am i surprised? no. trust no one.
That's my understanding too, younger ones get it harder.

If this helps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytokine_storm

"It is believed that cytokine storms were responsible for the disproportionate number of healthy young adult deaths during the 1918 influenza pandemic, which killed 50 to 100 million people.[16] In this case, a healthy immune system may have been a liability rather than an asset."

I also found it difficult to suss out the general point connecting the two events, but I suppose broadly speaking the outsized role of largely unspoken (and undiscussed) choices in both seems significant.

My understanding is that Japan didn't do the best job, although definitely better than the US. Taiwan probably has had the best Coronavirus response.
Interesting, I'll have to look more into that and the differences to k3s. But k3s does support clustering BTW.

Relays are helpful not only when UDP is blocked, but also when both nodes are behind NAT that does random port overloading and port prediction doesn't work.

TCP hole punching uses symmetrical TCP open trick to establish a proper TCP session between nodes each behind its own NAT. Roughly the same idea as with UDP h/p, but requires a coordinating server to make it work. Useful for cases when UDP punching doesn't work or when UDP is blocked completely.
this is my question, maybe I'm missing something. I don't see how crypto really addresses the issues of people without bank accounts or physical addresses. as for people who do have bank accounts, why can't the government just work with them to deposit normal cash in their accounts instead of forcing them to implement something new?

I gotta say, I don't really understand the dem strategy right now. the failure to agree on a stimulus package in a timely fashion reflects poorly on both sides, but the democrats are looking especially bad. why can't they just toss out the most controversial parts, pass something, and then come back to the pie in the sky stuff next week?
The group is still poorly known and giving surprise after surprise in the last decades. Complex life cycle with two totally different kind of spores. Some were wrongly chategorised as two different species, other classified as animals are now known to be fungus (and two different lineages of very distant related fungus noneless)... Really misunderstood group for most of the modern scientific period.

The idea that there was not one extant parasitic "jellyfish" [1] , but thousands of a new branch of parasitic cnidarians was revolucionary at 90's.

[1] Technically they are not Scyphozoa, Cubozoa or Hydrozoa, so they are not jellyfishes (neither corals).

> Modi has claimed that there are not yet signs of community spread

Do they have any reason to believe that there's something special about the borders of India that cause the virus not to spread inside it? If not, this is an irrelevant observation. It's like jumping off a cliff and saying "there are not yet signs of the ground."
Well, then your use-case is different than mine. Since I mostly use specification pattern on top of a orm layer.

Orm's support expression trees ( eg, nhibernate,...)

So the specifications pattern for my use-case require expression trees.

There are workarounds ofc, but translating specifications to Sql is not the desired use-case of the pattern.

Specifications make it easy to have a 100% equal business filter ( that translate it to Sql through the ORM) and making it testable.

- Specification.AssertAll(resultset, "not all elements are valid according to this specification");

( Using pseudocode )
This is repeated a lot, however just like most things - there's more nuance to it than just "wear masks".

In most places, there's simply not enough masks to protect those most at risk (eg: healthcare workers who are constantly in contact with infected patients) AND to have everyone in the community using them.

Improper use of masks is at best pointless, at worst can actually make things worse.
The vast majority of people are not used to wearing PPE or dealing with contaminated items. It requires some level of training to fit and wear a mask correctly, and how to properly dispose of them.

You see this with a number of people touching the outside of their mask, and then scratching their face/nose/eyes. or pulling their mask down below their nose, or where it's not even properly sealed around their mouth.
We're currently looking for remote desktop access software for offsite users. We were before the pandemica anyways. The goal is to treat all our endpoints the same if they're in the office, or at home.

This seems perfect, pending price aside.

I just want to drop an agent in our management system, or on a box not in mdm, and be able to just connect to them.

That said, I'm not totally getting a 'safe; vibe here. More about how it works and some way to confirm it would be good.
Just bought a bidet (I've been wanting one for years) and man I think it will change my life. Just being able to clean off every time feels SO much better. Absolute luxury!

Yep. There are two major "twin city" metro areas in the US (Dallas/Ft Worth) and (Minneapolis/St Paul), and I-35 goes through both.

But tables in LaTeX are not fun, too. Once upon time I was about to write a bunch of big and complex tables with LaTeX and needed to include "mini pages" in table cells to be able to render complex content. It was so awkward that I stopped using LaTeX.
Either I'm not understanding you, or you're not understanding the tech. The website does not store any of the keys. They exist as a url fragment that only the user has ever seen.

So if I create an image today and encrypt it, only I see the key. If you hack the website tomorrow, you have access to my encrypted content, but not the key.

Now that you control the website, you can modify the code so that the key gets sent up every time a user encrypts or decrypts something. But you don't have any access to anything created before you hacked it, if no user decrypts it.

ZeroTier is searching for someone on a one-time consulting basis (with possible ongoing support) to create a macOS Catalina (and future) DriverKit based Ethernet "tap" driver for use with our ZeroTier network virtualization product.

https://www.zerotier.com/

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/driverkit

It should provide an API that allows the easy creation and destruction of tap devices, preferably integrate nicely with the Mac network management stuff (so they show up as normal ports). Support for some kind of zero-copy I/O and other high performance patterns is needed, and security is important. It should be able to be included in the App Store assuming Apple allows DriverKit extensions in there.

The key was the Windows port of iTunes.

All the online stores and rip/mix/burning didn't mean a thing if you could only cover 3% of the personal computer users out there back in the year 2000.

And, remember, Jobs didn't want to do it.

"We argued with Steve a bunch [about putting iTunes on Windows], and he said no. Finally, Phil Schiller and I said ‘we’re going to do it.’ And Steve said, ‘Fuck you guys, do whatever you want. You’re responsible.’ And he stormed out of the room."

> Blackblaze B2, Wasabi, Digital Ocean Spaces are three that come to mind.

Seconded on the last two in this list. I use both, for completely personal storage needs. I was lucky enough to get Wasabi's older, cheaper pricing model for the lifetime of my account, but even so it's a hugely attractive option for storing large amounts of data without worrying about local equipment and all the rest of it.
Given the density in which people live and the lack of clean water and other resources for hundreds of millions of people, it’s probably exploding there.
loool how unexpected
I've been looking to generate support ticket numbers with built-in error correction, so they can be discussed over the phone with customers.

Didn't find any off-the-shelf implementations in .NET so I gave up for the time being.

I might just end up adding a checksum to the ticket# and then computing all possible permutations that still meet the checksum, and verify each match against the database of open tickets. Takes less space anyway.
"All time" colloquially never implies that it will be the best forever. Being all time at a specific point puts you in the running, but when talking about bands, sport teams, tech, whatever, does not discount the possibility of improvement in the future.

I've heard from fellow HN'ers that AirVPN is run by actual hacktivists, and their mission page seems to reflect that.

When I registered a trademark I got a very similar fake invoice from a company in Serbia. They wanted £940 for their "trademark monitoring service". The only clue that this was not a real invoice was "This offer is not an invoice but a solicitation" in the fine print at the bottom.

Fortunately the Trademark Office warns everyone who registers a trademark that they can expect to receive something along these lines, but of course the idea is that in a big company the "invoice" might get paid by someone in too much of a hurry to look carefully.

Tesla CEO says bought ventilators in China for U.S.
In my opinion it's overhyped. I'll probably take point hits for claiming it, but so be it. Let the truth ring.

Why copy techniques meant for Netflix and Facebook when your org or app is most likely 1/1000th their size. Phallic size jealousy at work.

Most concurrent and parallel work can and should be done on a true-and-tried RDMBS for most orgs and apps. Use transactions/rollbacks properly and let the RDBMS manage most the grunt work instead of reinvent the wheel in app code.

Just because you and your specific likes and dislikes don’t agree with WFH everyday as a viable approach doesn’t make it “a joke”. I’m perfectly fine and productive with it.

Another curious factoid about Interstates in Texas, which prides itself on the quality and extensiveness of its road network, is that there's no interstate highway between its capital city (Austin) and its largest city (Houston). How to modernize transportation between the two cities is a subject of endless debate in Texas.
They didn't say just wear masks. You're beating on a strawman.

Masks protect the wearer. This is blatantly obvious and scientific reality. Messages to the contrary are absolute propaganda (for instance a common line is "there is no evidence to show protection for civilians"[1] --- because there has never been a study for that case. Yet it's a specious, absurd claim because we know the masks are protective).

Yes, masks are in short supply. This doesn't make misinformation acceptable (including the absurd, anti-reality claim that unless you're perfectly trained and certified perfectly fitted it is "pointless", which is just ridiculous noise). People already touch their face hundreds to thousands of times a day, so the other fear mongering "you'll adjust it" is another bit of nonsensical noise.

As supplies ramp up and we have to return to some semblance of normal society, masks will not only be seen prevalently, they'll be encouraged as one mechanism of controlling spread. And at the time it'll be interesting how all of the propagandists change their tune.

[1] Excluding the evidence in front of our eyes where countries where mask use is prevalent are seeing little spread.

Interesting. Thank you for answering.

Seems the water splashing about is a pretty easy problem to solve. Your bum shoudl cover move of the opening and a simple shroud would block the gap between the seat and the rim.

The amount of TP used goes down dramatically with experience and the idea that you cannot get super clean with it is not entirely accurate. It will not be soap and water clean, for sure, but clean and dry to the touch is easy to accomplish.

The amount used goes down with experience. 4 sheets wrapped around 3 fingers and sort of folded and held by the thumb provides protection to your digits and adequate surface area for cleaning. . Do that 2-4 times and all done. Or as some might say -
once forward, once back, once to polish. Don't ask. Just ... imagine. :D

Ready to have your mind blow? within the TP user community there are 3 distinct strategies for cleaning. As the joke goes - Most don't realize people do it differently than they do, and when they find out think they are very weird.

Stay seated, scoot forward, lean forward, hand behind you.

Stand up, lean forward, hand behind you.

Stand up, squat down, lean forward, hand behind you.

There may be some variations on each of those creating sub-groups; hand positions, one foot on seat, etc. Imaging the logistics of those different groups is sort of fascinating.
And they know it hence the reaction.
