It cannot be clearer :
"Ils devront être suspendus quand les sociétés bénéficient des reports d’échéances fiscales et sociales".
The three words "devront être suspendus" explicitly indicates it will be illegal. And the terms "les sociétés bénéficiant des reports d’échéances fiscales et sociales" say that any company benefiting at least from the most basic state-funded help package (related to COVID) is targeted.
That's a very I Don't Know type of article.
Should you want to try it on a cheap VPS and fail at it, make sure that your shared host has tun-tap and wireguard modules installed (open a ticket)
It's not an unreasonable use case to just nuke everything if your spend exceeds some level. (I'm just playing around and want to set some minimal budget.) But, yes, implement that and you will see a post on here at some point about how my startup had a usage spike/we made a simple mistake and AWS wiped out everything so we had to close up shop.

ADDED: A lot of people seem to think it's a simple matter of a spending limit. Which implies that a cloud provider can easily decide:

1.) How badly you care about not exceeding a spending threshold at all

2.) How much you care about persistent storage and services directly related to persistent storage

3.) What is reasonable from a user's perspective to simply shutdown on short notice
ISTM Congress just decided that. In the absence of their recent bailout decision, business would work in some other fashion, which many taxpayers would perceive as more fair.
I see. Thank you very much for your explanation.

I always thought that after so many years, there must be a testing framework, development tools and methodology to give a C developer the safety that his problem requires. What do people use when they are programming critical systems e.g. defense,health,flight control, etc. Problems like Heartbleed et al are not something that can be ignored in the industry.

That is why I wondered about advanced tools I heard about e.g. ATS, Compcert, and so on. As I understand, the model that is used in Rust comes with limitations in regard to program design.
I don't think this is different, but the poster above me seemed to.
slightly R>1 is fine if it doesn't overload the intensive care and doesn't increase deaths.
If we want to build some herd immunity..

(just my opinion)
For mass production, most work is done with automated methods like wave soldering which spot methods like soldering irons (or lasers) can't hope to match for throughput or repeatability. The kind of hand work that's being discussed here is almost non-representative of most industry practice.
I’m not keen to watch it. It’s probably unfilmable; all the exposition text is hard.

If you’re going to try, I think the visual style that would work the best would be animated. The real world could be done in Heavy Metal style, and the ‘verse done like ReBoot — or maybe akira or something. I’m not at all excited about a live action version.
One thing I wish for wireguard: the ability to look up keys/ips in an external system like LDAP. I moved an entire call center [50+ people] fully remote last week. We're using wireguard. Key management stinks, and that is my only complaint! It is an incredible piece of software and I'm very thankful for it.
Resources available to co-working spaces during Covid-19
Of course, the Homo family are very adaptable and fruits and honey have been eaten where available.

Evidence of fruits or tubers or seeds is harder to come by from the Paleolithic era because plant fossils are rare (vs bones that are common), but more recent tests looking at dental tartar does confirm a very diverse diet.
My points still stand:

1. there are more than two options available to leaders (false dilemma)

2. there is a lack of true leadership and innovative thinking by our elected officials

3. you can't point to the side effect of the current strategy ("look at the economy!") and hand-wave away the side effect of another (lack of hospital resources to handle a peak infected load, causing even more suffering, loss of life, and public panic, most likely also affecting the economy)

The fact that I can't come up with a more effective solution as a layman in five minutes on an Internet comment board should not indicate that there are none.
Computer Modern was designed to be printed with ink presses, and so it assumes a certain amount of running in the liquid. If it will be rendered solely on-screen, it needs to be thickened slightly. Fortunately this is easy with Metafont; unfortunately the default TeX installations don't do it.
Very nice!

I found more and more of my workflows getting screenshot driven. It's fast, reliable and accurate. Often-times, I don't care that much about the added overhead of pngs vs text.

E.g. I found the only viable way to export my fb timeline (including pictures and comments), when I left, was to screenshot the entire thing. ~500 images.

Looking forward to having those indexed!

Also really like the software delivery here.
No way I would have uploaded that content to a SaaS.

I don't think any of these changes have made the pages less interactive. What the move back to server has generally done is remove all the unnecessarily deferred layout. The worst performance offenders remain advertising and tracking.
Anecdotally: I have run ipsec based VPNs, openvpn, SSH tunnel based VPNs, etc. Almost all have been a bit of a PITA. I walked someone through setting up a WG based VPN two weeks ago, at a wework in Jakarta. Took 10m via slack. The machine is behind a NAT and I haven't had a single problem connecting. I've done tests where I rolled a new server and as soon as it was up, the tunnels were back. It's a thing up beauty.

>it was a long time ago, but I remember trying to work with a CNC milling machine that generated all of the timing on a Windows computer. Everything worked fine unless you touched the mouse, which would cause motion to stutter.

Windows used to (maybe still does, idk) use an interrupt for mouse movement. That was likely the cause of your issue.

As an open source user and (in the past, contributor), I wholeheartedly agree with that. The fact that a software has no bugs is what makes it a product I can rely on.

For example, I'm a KDE user since 20 years. And although it has come a long way, there's always this little bug here or there. Because of that , I can't recommend it to some non IT user who's going to use it alone, I can't 100% trust it.

So OP is right : fixing little bugs makes a incredible difference.

(as far as KDE is concerned, kudo's to Nate Graham who's been looking at small issues for some times now and that really makes a difference)
One minor suggestion: compress the image from your website for faster loading time.

Ah yes, there are some interesting new frameworks built around this concept. PHP.js comes to mind.

I know what you mean, but it is still funny, given how long this was the way nearly 100% of web development was done for about 15 years.
Another distinguishing trait is that Homo Sapiens are dreamers (e.g cave paintings).

Not sure how relevant or true the claim is, but it's surely romantic.

Or we might simply be more aggressive and that's it. A species determined on dominating its environment will win against one that's not, all other things being equal.

Otherwise Neanderthals were larger than us and had similar cognitive capabilities, they were also using tools and language etc.
To me that all sounds like amateur fantasy fiction writing. The thing that made me is now judging me? I don’t understand how such cheap parlour trick logic appeals to anyone.

If I write a complex computer program and it doesn’t do what I wanted, I don’t blame the program for failing. Even if I gave the program machine learning or artificial general intelligence. Even if I defined computer processes as having souls.
> In some indistries, that means thousands of people without work, and hundreds of other companies in the supply chain going bankrupt, and even more people without work.

A popular counter-argument is that governments should plan to spend money on unemployment relief for individuals if it looks like a lot of big companies won’t make it. Let companies fail but cushion the blow for people affected.
You mention doubts about moisture or air permeability. It's a uniquely breathable material.
No, you cannot figure out by yourself "how good the results are". That is the one of the critical points. The paper might even pass peer review and get accepted -- which, assuming a reasonable quality journal, means that the methods and analysis they claim make sense.

But that is just the _very minimum_ you can expect in an article. Incredibly enough, by itself, that is already a huge filter. But sadly that is nowhere near enough to give any value whatsoever to the article. i.e. the article can be perfect and still just wrong. Even assuming good faith from the authors, they could just be the lucky 5% who got a positive out of an impossible thing and decided to publish. In a world with a general pressure to publish positive results and specially in a highly-hyped topic such as this one, you have a very high chance of seeing such a result.

At the end of the day this is the only argument I have left to debunk some homeopathy papers.

Scientists who are in a position where they have the resources to _reproduce_ the articles should and do read them. "Mortals" are not and reading these articles is a waste of time and potentially a disservice.

There are tens of journals claiming _utter non-sense_ being published every single month.

Using un-reviewed papers to estimate "consensus" is also pointless. Using publication numbers / citations / impact factors is slightly better but also extremely dangerous. If anything pseudo-science chaps are good at is at publishing large numbers of astonishing crap.

The sad truth is that filtering good science vs not is out of reach for the average layman, which leaves you with unscientific stuff such as "reputation" as your only tool.
In a capitalist society, something is worth what enough people are willing to pay for it.

Apple pays much more for a Intel chips than its own ARM chips.

Again, you can look at the price/performance of iPads compared to laptop Macs.
It was impressive how much grain was removed from the footage by the remaster process.

Where did the grain come from? Did someone sit in the syndication studio and record the footage straight to VHS? Surely that wouldn't be on the original negatives, directors would be throwing water bottles and plush toys before that happened.
Why do matter particles come in threes?
I really hope WireGuard becomes a standard and get's included in the macOS/iOS and Windows kernels as well. Key management and and other fancy features could be left to userspace applications but having the basic wg capability in the kernel would be great.
poisson = fish in French
As I wrote:

Bacteriophage MS2 - 23nm :

Surgical mask 89.52% filtering

Tea towel one layer 72.46% filtering

-> Thus still ~70% filtering of 23nm particles for the one layered towel. They didn't put the number for a two layered towel in there, I wonder if it did beat the surgical mask.
>>I don’t know how I feel about this.

Your feelings aside it is probably illegal as this is an emergency, and MSFT's PR would take a major, major beating.

So MS is probably hiring by the thousands trying to meet demand. You raise prices when a hurricane or a pandemic hits, if you don't want to be around for a long time.
If you are pure PURE python, and you have your system dependencies managed properly, then there might not be much point.

If you are primarily python but need to add C/C++/BLAS/LAPACK/MKL/Fortran, etc..., at least on linux and macOS, then you are going to want conda or something like it. conda with the conda-forge channel solves much of that.

There's other things out there which can solve it, notably Spack, possibly Nix. Or, you reduce the problem space by only building for a single linux and distributing containers, if that works for you.
Thank you for the feedback!

>> I just want to answer my first burning question of "How cool is the output?"

You can see the live demo at https://magicdocs.co/demo. I'll also add some gifs to help explain.

>> What other tools do we get in the editor?

For now, it's a bit bare-bones with responsive elements and making a page pretty. In the future, we plan to add analytics, payments and crm integrations.

>> Why not make it free?

We are completely bootstrapped, so cash would be helpful. (also getting feedback from paying users) But perhaps a freemium approach could be right.

>> The branding, the name, is solid.

Thanks, I'll take all your input into consideration :)
Ask HN: Research on different search box UIs?
I'm building an application with search functionality prime and center.

I've perused the web for inspiration. Some sites put the search button inside the search box, some one the left, others on the right. Google places the search and I'm feeling lucky button under the search box. I would imagine Google has done A/B experimentation on this, or maybe it's just some product manager's / designer / engineers intuition.

Is there any academic literature on this? Is there statistical data on what's the most common pattern?

Thank you!
I'm certainly not making any sort of character judgement - I'm just trying to clarify and understand another individual's (yours) weighting of factors in a particular situation. It's always an interesting exercise, as each one of us comes with different inbuilt biases and moral standards.

In this case, not being (remotely) an astronomer, I'll freely admit that my bias is to be less concerned about this issue - especially as I've read conflicting accounts of how damaging it will be for astronomy, and also because SpaceX are apparently still trying to improve their satellites in this regard, meaning the final impact isn't even yet known?

And besides this, landing rockets and planning to colonise Mars is still quite cool ;)

PyDev of the Week – Abigail Mesrenyame Dogbe
In mathematics it's pretty easy to get stuck and I imagine having a regular 1-on-1s with a tutor could be of great help. (However, Internet forums could to some degree perform similar function).
Just to add to your point, the Surgeon General recently advised "don't wear masks". I personally disobey this every time I step out of my apartment. And I'm proud of that.
you could use home made cloth mask or even scarf, anything is better than nothing to stop spreading the virus
Pandas are great, but I had a few cases where I had frustrating experience -- dealing with Decimal & float columns is a pain (missing data without any signs when using both in calculations).

However this was not the reason why I needed to build convtools, I needed to process reports, touching only some columns (without failing if an unrelated column is no longer processable). So I needed to reuse and combine python expressions across multiple procedures.

There are no benchmarks at the moment, you can just pass debug=True to the gen_converter method to see the generated code and judge whether it's optimal for your use case.
This is a python library which generates simple python code:
- without unnecessary conditions and loops
- without keeping all items of iterable in memory to aggregate (it leverages reducers)
- making no use of C-extensions.
Well, you sure told the US Surgeon General [1] and the CDC [2] - good job.

The premise is true, but I flagged because low quality journalism. If rather see a rational discussion about the topic and less sensationalism.
I think the idea is that you're supposed to build a system to manage WireGuard using that sort of information. I.e. WireGuard provides the basic primitives and second- or third-party tooling uses them.

I like that idea, because it means that the actual WireGuard core is small and it's usable right now. It is annoying that someone hasn't yet developed neat integrations for WireGuard and stuff I might want to use, but — I'm someone! I (or you, or whoever) can build something, and as surely as day follows the night someone else will build some neat things in the future.

It's early days yet!

Weird thing about India's decision -

1. No official flu season or flu vaccine administration. Doesn't effect them?

2. Most of the country doesn't fall in the temperature/humidity band [temp (5-11 C) and
RH (44-84%)] of the places that have been hit hard - https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3550308

3. Compared to other countries low travel/business connectivity with Wuhan. They are somewhere below top 20. So most infections are from second hop, third hop in the travel networks to major cities.

Given these facts locking down everyone is looking like a big over reaction.
$4T is going to the Federal Reserve...up to $1,200 will be going directly to taxpayers, to put the ratio in perspective, if the money was all going to taxpayers directly each taxpayer would be getting over $18,000, instead they will get $1,200. You are saying it will help every person with a mortgage or job at a corporation that uses loans...which simply means it will help the loan/mortgage holders and services which helps the banks.

Of course they do. And that's an easier problem to solve than having bulky, heavy, power-hungry lights that die quickly.

I noticed an interesting bug however. On my device (iPhone 8), when you swipe up from the bottom while the timer is running (to select things like flash light), and then close it by swiping down, the timer automatically goes to 0 and the interval is marked complete.
Yea, it's an upper bound. The actual percentage depends on the distribution and can be anywhere from 0-2.7%. The Wikipedia link has more details.

I read the book around 4 years ago I think, and I don't find it refreshing at all. One possible reason is that I grew up a Hindu and have found this baseless mysticism just tiring. And it is quite baseless, at no point in the book does the exalted one ever question himself, maybe once but it took him half a page to pat himself on the back and move on. He was born with the knowledge of exactly what his purpose is, never quite learns anything from anybody and quite frankly is condescending to the max.
