Not OP, but here's a possibility: In the last month I've spoken with numerous people who earn $200k/yr. I'm not sure I've spoken with someone who earns Khan's salary in the last year. (There is one guy who probably earns that in good years, but I'm not sure the last year has been a "good" one.)

That is, regardless of whatever rarefied Silicon Valley filter bubble we're pretending exists here on HN, Khan is not raising money from Silicon Valley. He is raising it from the world, and a very low percentage of humans earn $800k/yr.

Granted, however, this is not just a problem with Khan Academy. Many "non-profits" pay their executives unreasonable salaries.
Yes, I thought of SBCL when I was reading this too.

A JS frontend for SBCL could be nice...
Wouldn’t it be nice if it didn’t, though. Large numbers of people working from home, cruise and airlines running fewer routes, people staying local instead of traveling so much, more local farming and manufacturing so less money spent on shipping....

My team went through the browser testing issue as well and agree they're hard tests to write. We ended up writing a few using selenium, but we don't have as much coverage as we'd like. Luckily, unlike an interpreter upgrade, we can add them incrementally.

I recently spent a bunch of time comparing NextDNS vs PiHole. The reality is their features-sets are pretty close, but I eventually settled on NextDNS and here were some of my takeaways:

NextDNS Pros:
* Can use NextDNS on any network (thanks to their apps or just regular DNS-over-HTTP/TLS).
* (Could get similar functionality on PiHole with a remote hosted PiHole + VPN, but much more complex to setup)
* NextDNS allows for multiple different configuration setups per account (so you can fine-tune your blocking/filtering differently for different devices).
* (PiHole AFIK only supports a single configuration)
* NextDNS IMHO had the superior UI. With more powerful config options.
* In reality with some extra manual config/coding you could probably get PiHole to do most of what is in the config for NextDNS, but it would take some work.

PiHole Pros:
* PiHole is open source.
* The NextDNS server code is closed-source, but they do have an open-source CLI client.
* PiHole is self-hosted (much better from a privacy perspective).
* But you do get all the downsides of being responsible for hosting something as central as a DNS server yourself...
That was not a general statement about Javascript performance. The entire article is about the unpredictability of the JIT. When the JIT hits a bad codepath then it really does perform like python or when it hits a good code path (most of the time) then it performs like java. This unpredictability is what is causing the issues, not the general performance.
Certainly but they weren’t originally designed to carry cars as their primary function.
Good point! Edited.

If Khan Academy did the same thing without Khan, I think it would work better, rather than worse. The personality-cult model is less scalable than the best-and-brightest model.
My first thought was: "Has this death relation to Covid-19?"

And just found an answer:[0]

> Penderecki had been tested for coronavirus after his carer was diagnosed with the illness, but the composer's result was negative, his daughter Beata Penderecka told Reuters.[1]

> Part of the family had been under quarantine at home after attending a family meeting on March 7, Penderecka said. Several people present later tested positive for coronavirus.

> Elzbieta Penderecka, the composer's wife tested negative, Beata Penderecka said.

UPD: On Wikipedia there no info about his "long illness".[2]

The distinction is short term vs long term, that has nothing to do with xenophobia. AirBnB reduces the price of short term stays (six months is short term - long term rental contracts typically start at 1 year), but has a significant negative effect on people that stay in the city long term. AirBnB converts homes intended for long term residents and repurposes them as housing for short term stays. This significantly reduces the supply of houses in a market that already has a low supply, causing an immense spike of housing cost for those staying in the city long term. The fact that something else exists that also contributes to this problem does not take away the immense negative effects that AirBnB has, that's just whataboutism.
Art has always had constraints: funding, the physical media’s capabilities, and the ability to reach an audience. This is why any time a new technology shift happens there’s a spike of artists trying things which were not previously feasible.
I agree completely. There always has been too much to read, and the best strategy remains to read what you can while recognizing that you may be missing something. I make every effort to find as much related literature as possible but I am continually amazed by some of the work that I find years afterwards that I missed the first time around.

On a similar note, I remember reading a biography of physicist Lev Landau years ago (Dorozynski's The Man They Wouldn't Let Die). If I recall correctly --- and please correct if I am wrong --- there was a part where the author described Landau's intentional reluctance to read papers, at least early on in the research process. Landau wanted to formulate original approaches to problems, so he did not want his thinking influenced by how things were previously done. I do not agree with the idea but I do find it interesting that some researchers in the past have valued the opposite of reading widely.
Thanks. That's nice, but not exactly what I meant. By WYSIWYG editing I mean visual editing like Word or Google Docs, but saving Markdown; not typing Markdown and having a real-time preview separately.

Typora does this nicely; I type an asterisk, it looks like an asterisk, but when I close the asterisk, the text in between goes italic. The asterisks are hidden unless the cursor is within the italic part. I can double-click to select a word, press cmd-I, and the word goes italic (by adding the asterisks). Etc.
I'm not a fan of non-standard-lib compatible routers. I understand why the op chose to do so, but it doesn't jive with being able to change the implementation later. I'm a fan of Chi for routing and it it compatible with the standard lib. I'm def in the camp of pulling in libraries vs full frameworks.

That said, there is always room for improvement for the development workflow, especially for rapid prototyping. I'd be interested in a side by side comparison between this and the other batteries-included web frameworks such as Gin, Buffalo, Beego, Revel, and the standard lib.

I would probably qualify for that group, since I have about 80% of my net worth in stocks. Or, to be more correct: I had. Now it's 20% stocks, 80% cash. I sold a good part in December and January, because I considered that heavy upward price action to be unreasonable and a harbinger for at least a modest correction in the near-term, for which I wanted to have cash on hand to buy the dip. Turned out to be a bit early, I left some potential gains on the street, but I considered that Coronavirus situation (in China, back then) to be too risky for jumping back in, and when the first signs of uncontrolled Coronavirus outbreaks surfaced in Europe, I sold most of the remains at the beginning of the slide, while the market was still within 5% of its peak and just kept a few, some small positions that have been at huge losses already anyway and some larger positions in the healthcare sector (which have fared pretty well until now, I even realized some profits day-trading them in the meantime).

So: just because people have had most of their money in stocks doesn't mean they necessarily still have. The beauty of stocks, especially for small private retail investors, is that they are extremely liquid, and not everyone uses a "buy-and-hold" strategy.
It's a spectrum. I just wrote down the two ends.

Also, an artist's constraints are often self-prescribed, and they can easily change them if they like.

If you don’t like it, don’t vote for it and move on. A content-free comment complaining that someone on the internet made something and gave it to you for free doesn’t add to the conversation.
Good history! But to reiterate for anyone missing it in there, look at GraalVM's AOT compiler today. It's OSS, well-funded, and mature: runs most large programs like Spring.
I could see that, but I could also see Khan having unique value in terms of marketing, relationships, vision, and tribal knowledge.
> If this is correct,

It’s correct. Read the law for yourself. I linked you to it in my last comment.

> I still think its wrong. It is a loophole to me.

I don’t see how it can be a loophole. That word usually refers to a way to use a statute for something other than its intended purpose. Section 230 says that “interactive computer service” providers can remove content they consider to be objectionable. It explicitly protects actions like the one Twitter took.

> They should not have that power to editorialize.

Why not? It’s their platform. You don’t have to participate. There are alternative platforms.

How far do you take this? Should sites like Reddit be allowed to have moderators? Those tend to be users who aren’t employed by Reddit, but they can remove content for just about any reason.

> not looked into it yet.

Please, please make an effort to inform yourself before you start talking in the future. The Internet would be a much better place if everyone did.

Hydroxychloroquine has not been shown to be 100% effective, even in the extremely limited studies that have been done. Telling people otherwise is a lie and a potentially dangerous one.

Claiming that governor Whitmer has threatened doctors is a big stretch. You can read the letter that the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs sent out here: https://www.michigan.gov/documents/lara/Reminder_of_Appropri.... The letter tells medical professionals not to prescribe the drug to themselves, their friends, family, or coworkers if there’s no legitimate medical purpose. It further says that reports of such behavior will be investigated and subject to administrative action. Sounds right to me.

Ask HN: How do services like readwise extract highlights from kindle?
As the question states I want to get my kindle highlights to my personal mail, but it seems to me that there are no public apis to fetch the highlights, and neither does readwise use MyClipping.txt file(I know because it is only present inside the kindle device, and never goes out unless you connect it to your computer). I am wondering how do they do it?

Do they scrape read.amazon.com/notebook, if yes, then wouldn't any changes to the elements of the website break the service and require changes to the readwise approach.

Asking this so that I can write a small script to automate this thingy, and save some money. Any help would be appreciated.
The safeway website lets me pick a time slot first, though I don't know if it reserves it. I've never had it disappear out from under me after I selected it but right now there are no slots open at all for me to test.

Well the reason why people are complaining about this is that these companies are sitting on huge cash reserves but are abusing the system meant to give short term relief to small businesses and individuals.

It might even that they are planning to put those owners that they are renting from into so much financial trouble that they could buy up properties at a discount.

I don't have much sympathy for property speculators etc., however I have even less sympathy for big corporations abusing systems not meant for the to concentrate even more wealth onto themselves
Not sure why you're downvoted. It's definitely difficult to talk about performance, for example, without keeping languages and implementations separate.
In the other way, there might be plenty businesses using too much energy for their current usages/load
It was the first bailout they announced - rates (property tax for business) are free for 20/21, and then a £10,000 grant for the smallest of rate payers, rising for businesses with larger premises. That covers loads of smaller short let owners.

For my 3 properties that covers maybe 50% of the shortfall I'll see this summer.

We had 500 deaths yesterday. We’re doubling ever 2-3 days. I’ll take 3 days.

At the end of next week, we’ll have 2000 deaths a day. At the end of two weeks, we’ll have almost 10,000. We’ll have 200k dead in roughly three weeks.

Unless "jobs" stopped being an end goal. Then it would still be nice.
Would be nice.... hordes of people on roads in metro areas driving their 3ton chunks of metal, one person per chunk is just obnoxious unbelievable waste, and all to mostly sit and write emails and chitchat a bit at “work”.
Perhaps they can take advantage of a legal loophole, just like you were happy to by using airbnb to rent in an urban area with no real right to be there.

Go's lack of generics makes it better for write-once, run-forever systems like proxies. It's not as ideal for application servers that will otherwise need a lot of code duplication via code generation (to be type safe) or nil interfaces (to throw away static typing).

Code generation isn't so bad. Even JOOQ (Java's awesome ORM) will suggest you do it. And similarly, Java's generics aren't that great themselves. But you come to expect more from a newer language with so much history to learn from and they missed the ball on generics. (In contrast they got right: gofmt, go test, cross platform builds, go get, etc.)

I knew about the security risk, but I wasn't aware of how many quality of life and performance improvements we could use in the new version. And I also learned that some people enjoy researching/debugging the interpreter, whereas I originally thought the refactor would be a chore that hurt morale.
I think there are some people everywhere who like to find confirmation for their nationalist prejudice in this crisis. It's wrong, but it's also just way too early to draw any conclusions. You shouldn't be proud of your achievment when you don't know what's yet to come.

For what it's worth, I just searched for "why is the mortality rate lower in germany" in french on Google [0] and I've briefly looked at most of the hits on the first page, many of them cite German experts noting exactly the points that I mentioned.

I have one of these (called an endowment policy). It was a spectacularly terrible investment. Luckily the amount I pay in (£10/month) isn't going to make me go broke. Until the beginning of this year it looked as if I might make slightly more than the nominal money I paid in - yes it really was that bad. But with another dose of bad luck it matures this year so it'll likely be worth 30-60% less. Oh well, it was a learning experience.
It depends on where you are at.

Type information is present in fields and class inheritance

For example, a class like this

`class Foo implements Bar<String>`

Retains the fact that the generic type is a String.

That information is completely lost at method invocation. So a method that takes a `Bar<String>` ultimately compiles to a method that takes a `Bar` and knows nothing of the String.

To get that generic information down you have to engage in some fun tricks using either the class or field method I mentioned earlier. (Usually you do this with a second type parameter where it matters).
A lot of the modelling was and still is based around Wuhan. If China has lied it has cost us lives.

They couldn't decide without offending one of two powerful men. So they didn't decide.

I don't see how that quote advances the case at all. It illustrates my point exactly, then with the brief 'appeal for justice to the king'. Why does anyone imagine that went any differently? It didn't. They wanted to see blood sport, so they decided that way - as the huge crowd confirms, it was a popular decision, not a just one.

When I saw this list yesterday, I thought it is one of the best illustrations of the actual impact of Covid-19. Famous people are far more likely to be treated and tested adequately - and Covid-19 is fastly becoming a leading cause of death within this group.

Of course, there is some bias (as Covid-19 deaths make more headlines), still I found this interesting!

Given the size and complexity of such a device, and the limited number of them that are constructed (which means they are always a one-off), it would be a miracle on the order of Moses parting the Red Sea for one of them to be built __without__ such mistakes happening.

In you are a developer, think of the number of times you have seen a successful SAP deployment i.e. on time, on budget, meets specs. Then multiply that by about 10k to reach the complexity of an aircraft carrier.

Yes. This has nothing to do with holidays though. I'm thinking a mid-size town where the only attraction is a local coal mine - the only hotel option was an old post-soviet hotel where you'd only stay if you absolutely had to. But even if it's not a holiday destination people still have to stay short term occasionally - be it for work or for things like weddings, funerals etc. Not that long ago finding a place to stay that wasn't the mentioned dingy hotel was very hard to do, nowadays there's always at least a few listings on AirBnB so you can stay somewhere that it's a dump.

Do you treat other organizations the same? Neflix pays Reed Hastings 10s of millions. Does that stop you from subscribing?

I still think "donating" is appropriate regardless of what they pay their executives. Just don't treat it as an altruistic charity.

Think of the donation as a pay-what-you-can/want for the service. If you have the means, pay $10 per month and treat it like a subscription while you're using the service.

I disagree! We're having the following conversation:

You: "Why would you want to edit it as a single file?"

Me: "Why wouldn't I?"

You: "Because it's slow due to inefficient data structures!"

My point is, I want to edit it as a single text file for creative / process reasons, and there are algorithms and data structures that make this possible, as evidenced by the editors that do let me do it in real time, so there's no real reason not to.
