There is very little work just a lot of waiting. I also bake the Ken Forkish recipe. It is a no-kneed bread recipe.

The trick I figured out is to invest in a danish dough whisk - then I whisk it in the bowl instead of pinching. I also let the dough rise over night in the same bowl. Also - don't ignore the instructions to heat the dutch oven before baking. This is what prevents the bread from sticking.
Perhaps because marketing isn't reality, and confusing the two is detrimental to one's sanity?

Ask HN: How would you design a study to see if Covid-19 makes us more sociable?
Rabies, toxoplasma and a range of other things are known to cause behavioural changes in humans and other animals. These changes help the things to spread.

There has been one study that looked at behaviour after the flu vaccine that suggests that the virus may also change our behaviour to spread [1,2].

Given the wide amount of testing and monitoring of people with Covid-19 we have the ability to design a study to see if this Coronavirus makes us more sociable in the asymptomatic stage. One potential is that people who are infected may be more likely to break quarantine rules, another idea is that by noticing when you are feeling a new urge to be more sociable than normal, perhaps that might be a common pre-symptom. And perhaps the virus makes no change on human behaviour. Lets find out.

So, how would you do it? Online survey? In person interviews?

I can imagine that people may have considerable guilt about socialising or going out when they were infectious but feeling well and may not tell the truth. Memories may be vague, and lockdowns might well complicate things. Could it only be done after the fact, or before? Maybe social media or Tinder data could be used?

How could we control for this?

Popular weather app Dark Sky has been acquired, and its API may shut down
Actually until industrial revolution the only asset generating yield was not gold but landowning. It wasn't risk less but on average it was the only asset available generating positive returns.

The castles and gold vaults were nice but only as a temporary store of wealth. Most of rulers were constantly in debt used to pay for wars and representation (buying influence).

XIX century introduced bonds which paid yields in coin, bankrupted most of landowners and created this new breed of entrepreneur capitalist.
I look at growing a garden like washing your hands for this current situation. It won't prevent starvation if the world turns into Fury Road but it can meaningfully move the needle in aggregate and reduce pressure on strained supply chains.
It is sad to see orgs like WHO are being controlled by China. He could have given better answer than just skipping question and terminating interview. This guy looks scared as hell to talk anything against China. If this is the situation, how can one trust WHO for truth about covid-19 ? Now I am doubtful about all their counts.
Apple replaced the function keys because they were increasingly disused (and to increase the BOM and consequently the margin in absolute dollars.) The Touch Bar gets used more often. The default modes aren’t to everyone’s taste, but they’re easy for inexperienced users (based on our user observation) and power users like the potential to customize (check out BetterTouchTool if you haven’t yet.)
Team standards, for example.
> I might have to put it back the way it was at the end, but the landlord can't stop me from doing what I like to the place while I'm here. A whole different attitude to renting.

This is the same in the US, FWIW. Most landlords aren't going to care what you do, as long as you don't damage common areas and return it in mint conditoin.
I focus on foods that are expensive or you simply cannot buy. For example, carrots straight out of the ground taste significantly different than store bought. Despite carrots being one of the cheapest foods I still grow some. Otherwise you nail it with herbs and berries. I estimate a couple basil plants save me at least $50 a year.

Another good item I always recommend is to plant the green onion stubs. About 3 square feet of green onions is enough for my family all year.
I’m curious of your opinion on Openwater:
https://www.openwater.cc/technology
That's not what is generally meant by dumping money into education (normally it refers to primary/secondary education), but I think it holds true here too. After all, we're putting FAR more money into colleges than we did 20 years ago, but very little of that money is going to the professors and it's VERY debatable if there's been any improvement to outcomes due too that funding increase.
Where do these “2-3x as much” figures come from? Their prices are not much different from Vons in my experience, they just sell a lot of premium items they you won’t find in your local vons - but for stuff you find in a regular supermarket - they charge around the same. And their 365 products sometimes are even cheaper than non organic alternatives
any face covering helps though.

one positive is that universal mask use will make facial recognition a lot harder.
Houseparty offers $1M bounty for proof of hacking ‘smear campaign’
I think discarding any product said employee could have touched (eg. baked goods) and sanitizing the store would be cheaper than a full shutdown.
Agreed 100%. But while you can repackage toilet paper, it’s harder for most people to deal with 10# cans of beans when they would otherwise buy and use 1#.

But I guess that bucket of pickles can be rejarred, if they’re available.

well, since you offered... ;) I've heard differing advice on using coffee grounds in gardens: some say you should and some say you shouldn't. Am I doing my garden a disservice dumping each day's pot of coffee grounds into the dirt? I'm trying to grow tomatos, peppers (jalapeno, bell and poblano), cilantro, beans, squash and zucchini.
If it was so certain to work, why we would anyone lend me money to do it when they could just buy the property themselves?
It’s not quite planting season yet here (frost risk until the end of May), but my wife is laid off and wants to do a garden this year to save a little bit of money and have something to do with her time until the entertainment industry is allowed to do stuff again.

Losing the website sucks. I use it on my Mac since there is no Dark Sky macOS app. Of course there's also no default Weather app on iPad.. I don't see that changing either.
Fox News worried about legal action after misleading viewers about coronavirus
The article provides examples of the IDP providing using different _IDP identities_ but I couldn't find an example of it suggesting different _user identities_.

The problem is the SAML assertion is effectively a bearer token, which is fine if it's specific to a service, and not fine if it can be replayed. If you want to unmix "authentication and authorization" as you put it, you're going to need a way to bind that credential further. You can either do that with some unspecified scheme that nobody implements, or you can do that by just using per-SP keys as the article suggests.

What do you propose we do instead?
You make a good point about the supply chains.

There is not a food shortage yet. However, I would not be surprised if there is a shortage of labor intensive food products in a month or so, depending on storage limits. I would not expect shortages of less labor intensive staples like cereal crops and maybe milk. It seems to me that meat packing is fairly labor intensive, so I would not be surprised if meat becomes more scarce at some point.

Fresh vegetables seem fairly labor intensive. Fruits can be warehoused for a year or so(AFAIK, at least in the case of apples). Some vegetables are probably more automated(potatoes, corn). I wonder about salad greens though.

FWIW, if you're just now considering getting a chest freezer to stockpile frozen goods, good luck. Everyone is sold out.
While I agree that the NOAA data is hard to work with, these more 'polished' api providers come with their own set of risks. For example, Dark Sky is forecasting a snow storm in my Bay Area coastal town[1]. That seems unlikely. Also, there is another paid service that I am familiar with that had a nice clean API with consistently formatted data, but it turned out their data was wildly inaccurate.

I'd bet that if Amazon agreed to all demands but that one that the workers who organized this would be ECSTATIC.

There should be negotiation, back-and-forth. What's frustrating, as somebody not affiliated with the organizing here but has been in similar circumstances, is when the company won't even come to the table to bargain.
Made a good penny selling my tomato starts this year. More than covered my seed purchases for our garden (not due to coronavirus, I just like gardening and splurged on them this year).
How will you track every product a cashier touched while ringing up customers during a shift? Every product touched while restocking shelves? Every cart touched while collecting them from the parking lot? Will you sanitize the store nightly or weekly? Will you communicate when you do to customers? Will you communicate when the last confirmed case was in your store? How often are workers replacing PPE and is enough available to them (if critical medical staff can't get it, how will you?)? Or are they handling everyone's products and payment methods with the same set of gloves during their entire shift? All important questions.
ugh. I think you're right. Sorry, it's been about fifteen years since I read it.
Define via ToS, or technical countermeasures?
In the meatspace world, we use ToS and expectations (like don't ransack my house even if he door is unlocked).
I see the benefits of touch screens, but I really miss tactile controls, like the temperature controls on my Dad's 1978 GMC pickup truck, which is the vehicle I learned to drive in. Three super simple, super intuitive slider type controls for all temperature settings: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iVtb4z2QozY/maxresdefault.jpg
Yeah, be prepared for some disappointment. I've been growing vegetables in my backyard now for about five years. I usually get a lot of jalapenos, some spices, and maybe a handful of tomatos, cucumbers and zucchinis. Plus it takes months before anything edible appears at all.
Too late now, but would it have been useful/possible to go public about it or threaten to talk the media and cause way worse problems for them? Considering that security is their game, I wonder if the bad PR would've made them re-think targeting you.
I'll add another one, borne painfully of recent experience: projects are often delayed because people aren't interested/capable of providing meaningful input on things until the critical moment is imminent, and that's usually late in a project, and then you have a pile-up of critical moments yielding real input.

Moreso in bigger organizations where you have very little influence on the participation and quality of input by cross-domain team members.
Similar functionality: unpkg (https://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/). See also https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11298855/how-to-unpack-a... . I think unpkg handles mpkg files, which I haven't encountered in the wild for quite a while now; I don't know about the others.
The arrogance of that statement is amazing. I recently bought an iPad for the first time in 5+(?) years.. before multi touch and pressure sensitive screens. I have no f'n clue what I'm doing anymore. I accidentally had Safari running two windows side by side with no idea how to stop that. I'm still not sure what I did to make it go back to one window..

My friends and I decided to try out a (new to us) game which required Microsoft Store / Xbox PC Game Console or whatever the shit it is. 4 of us cannot figure out how to add someone as a friend. It's not in any menu anywhere. I can follow, I can favorite.. I have no idea how to "friend".. which means we can't figure out how to invite people to games.

I'm convinced if Silicon Valley were to design car interfaces I'd be stuck in some sort of pay per action dark pattern captivity hell.

And as a student pilot nothing scares me more than touch screen controls. Maybe I spend too much time down low in the thermals but it's so much easier to hold on to a knob and turn it, while counting clicks, than trying to press a touch screen and hope you hit the right finger sized button the right number of times to change radio frequencies. Different story on heavy planes since they don't bounce around as much as GA planes but it sucks to fight the fight while trying to maintain control/coordination.
I think it's (very) poorly phrased, and what they meant by "logical deductions" was algebraic simplifications.

For example, if you already know x == 3 and your original "assumption" (not a great word choice here) is "x < 5 OR x > 20", you can simplify that to "3 < 5 OR 3 > 20" and then to "True OR False" and then the boolean literal "True", so you know the original expression "x < 5 OR x > 20" is True.

That's my best guess, at least.
AccuWeather has MinuteCast which does the same thing
haha oh boy. I was actually just about to install Catalina today, figuring I'd put it off long enough and everything has to be smooth by now (and system update bugs me about it often enough)... But lo and behold, I log into HN and see this thread....
There is no strained supply chain of food. If anything, coronavirus will cause a massive overproduction of food, because people are not splurging on giant feasts. The issue is that the supply chain typically leans towards restaurants and businesses, and that's been almost completely suspended. It will take time for the supply chain to adjust and food to start appearing in stores or direct to consumer, but it will.
It's not about money, or else Google's YouTube app wouldn't be a massive pile of failure on iOS, tvOS, etc. It's about being able to manage teams and maintain direction.
The short term outlook for produce is fine. However, the medium term outlook doesn't look good. It is unclear where the supply for farm labor will come from for the rest of the year. The border with Mexico is locked down.
I use VT switching all the time, on a desktop with an nvidia card and a laptop with intel / nvidia, and I don't have any of your issues. I'm on arch linux so with recent kernels, systemd, etc... if that can help but I don't remember ever having them..

I don't use GDM however.
> they were the first ones to do that.

AccuWeather has been doing that for ages with MinuteCast. Dark Sky just looked more 21st century and was better marketed, probably
This didn't pass the smell test, and sure enough Monaco, Norway, Switzerland, Ireland, Iceland, all have higher per capita GDPs. Denmark, Sweden, Austria, and Finland are in the same ballpark or a little lower. Germany and Belgium are lower, but still above 1/3 lower.

UK and France are ~1/3 lower. Italy and Spain are ~50% lower.
I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014) and Mojave runs very well on it. I have no plans to upgrade to Catalina.
It does not seem remotely workable to me to shut down every grocery store in America with a positive COVID test among their staff.

If you want to argue for less extreme measures, I will probably support them.
True, but it goes a bit further.

You also have to enforce the ToS. So Backpage or Craigslist personals are not able to just say, "We're not guilty of aiding prostitution. We tell users not to do that in our ToS."

No, as is the case with Backpage, they could still be held liable if they never actually removed anyone who was engaged in prostitution. It's not enough to say illegal things are not allowed and then look the other way. You have to say illegal things are not allowed, and come down hard on anyone doing those illegal things.

I don't remember the particulars since it was so long ago, but I believe craigslist went so far that they just removed any category that might be used for prostitution. In a court of law, that would be how you demonstrate that you're deserving of liability protection. Backpage was in a significantly different position, because they thought not enforcing anything would give them legal liability. Not smart.
This is really great - I use AWS Lambda extensively and have started using Layers now that I have backends that require enough data to function. Will try your scripts out for sure!

Really like that it's just a few bash scripts.

I use bash and Python scripts like this in my CI environments to manage my Lambda functions. The integration with AWS is quite useful, and may be a feature you want to consider if you plan to widen the scope of this project.

Thank you!
Are you guaranteed your job back if there's a stay in place order?
The 68k cpu implementation used in the minimig miSTer code is tg68k.

I agree it would be cool.
Interesting, I did not know that. I thought that it is allowed to implement border checks within Schengen, but not to close borders completely. Do you know where is that stated/regulated? Does it say for how long it can last?

Yes but the risk is lower then not having grocery store at all. People still need to eat.
If they're essential to society, do you support free medical care for all the employees who get sick during this time? Do you support paying for the ongoing costs of an employee that suffers the rest of their life due to complications or after effects from COVID-19?
> ...my family can't eat it quickly enough before it goes stale.

You're obviously not making enough french toast.
The great thing about making your own bread is that as long as you have salt, yeast, flour, water, and an oven, you can fit your bread recipe to the equipment that you have. Getting a great loaf at home takes some practice (my first loaf came out like a biscuit, it was horrible). But after a few repetitions you can get pretty consistently good results.

I'm not as much of a sourdough person, and I don't have a dough machine or stand mixer, but I have a hand-kneaded recipe that I like. I don't have a dutch oven, so I use a stockpot instead. And so on. There's tons of info online, and it gets easy and more consistent with practice.
We used to (family of five) go through a loaf a day; we'd buy it in bulk in the weekend and freeze it.

Mind you my dad would take like six or eight sandwiches to work every day (metalworker). And we're a sandwich-heavy culture.
Thanks! More complicated layout strategies are easy to integrate, but spacer works really well for examples since most people can intuit what the result will look like.

Skia has worked well so far. Since it's used by Chrome, Android, and Firefox under the hood, it means that I can reach a lot of platforms "for free".
And still the place that most people would prefer over the US given health care costs and lack of social safety nets.
They could have just bought the developers to work on Product X at Apple and don't want them wasting their time on something else. That's how a lot of Tech M&A is done...
All I can say is, thank fk
It’s a mistake to assume anything free on hyperscalers like GCP. Even ones with free tag. A future price tag needs to be baked into your current designs.

Case in point, recent pricing change of GKE cluster management fee. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22485625)
Just and knobs for everything I need when driving. But please keep touchscreen for everything complex I can do while standing still. Complex setup of display options, car setups or whatever is infuriating without touch.

This is how every other device works such as a digital camera. You can’t have an unlimited amount of knobs and buttons but you can have a dozen so you choose very carefully which functions need direct manipulation.

I don’t think it’s so bad currently in many cars to be honest. My VW does what I want, there are knobs and buttons for climate and radio, but setup and other things are touch. Only complaint is that switching source between line in and bt is touch only (and is used a lot).
I didn't imply they should shut down. I just wanted to point out that the risk that the workers are taking is significantly higher if you take into account how likely they are to get seriously ill. Their protection should be prioritized.
I mean, do they think we are idiots? Visual Studio Code is clearly open source with an MIT license.

EDIT: OH WAIT - I see - they forked at least parts of Visual Studio Code and then open sourced it. In other words -- proving that Visual Studio Code is open source.
I didn't say it was good. I just said that -- after the flu was over -- it did not lead to sustained economic depression. The bounce back was phenomenal. The roaring 20s represented a level of wealth that has henceforth been unmatched.
Crap. I liked Dark Sky.
I actually downloaded it because Apple Weather predicted 50 degrees F and it turned out to be 30degrees F with another 30 windchill.
Grats Dark Sky founders.
Apple's made huge inroads with developers over the last few years, partly coasting off of a social dislike for Microsoft. There's enough Apple fandom out there that they can probably annoy developers a good deal more without affecting the inroads. After all, exactly what can a dev do about it anyway?
Apple consistently shuts down Apple apps, Android apps, and/or APIs as part of their terms of purchase over the past decade.
Before that even, you can make toast and / or french toast with it. And with the leftovers, dry it out in the oven and cube it to make croutons for in soup and salads. My girlfriend puts a collection of herbs and spices on them too, dunno what though. She does put the bag in the freezer then, but since it's dry it doesn't really need to be defrosted.
If you have a deflation and negative rates then you should hold to your money because year after year everything around you is getting cheaper. So delay consumption. Hold the cash. You will get better deal next year.

If you have and inflation and negative rates then this is just a temporary anomaly in monetary policy. Don't hold the cash. Borrow at fixed rate and invest risk free.
I can't speak too much about how the monkeys feel about flashes, but when I visited this same spring the monkeys barely even noticed the humans at all.

The springs they soak in were built by a nearby hotel to keep the monkeys out of the hotel pools. They feed them every day to keep them up and away from the hotel.

(Of course, when we walked by the hotel, there was a single monkey soaking in their pool.)
No comment on the authors other claims, but VSCode is not open source. "Code - OSS" is the open base upon which VSCode is built. VS Code's branding, telemetry and more are closed-source. See https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/60#issuecomment-1... for a full explanation.
Totally agree but the broader point stands that buttons have some very useful affordances
