> Even if they did quarantine others, putting someone on a 14 day quarantine 17 days after contact is hard to explain.

It would be harder to explain why Amazon didn't put on quarantine an employee who was vocal about his exposure to the virus.

At most it sounds like malevolent compliance.
Ask HN: Need Help Brainstorming a Solution
Need help brainstorming a solution to a little problem I'm having.

I have a google spreadsheet filled with rows of data that I need to copy and paste in some input fields on a website.

Current Manual Flow is:
- Copy Cell A1, Paste in 1st input field on the website
- Copy Cell A2, Paste in 2nd input field on the website
- etc...
- Click save button on website
- Click New Page
- Copy Cell B1, Paste in 1st input field on the website
-etc...

I'm trying to think of ways to automate this process? Any tips or ideas would be a big help and save me A LOT of time!

First of all, thanks for being a GitLab contributor. Could you share other features you're concerned about? (If you have a link to issues that'd be great)
Ditto. And in this crisis, they're suspending evictions and presumably suspending mortgage payments too. I feel very lucky to have gotten out of that chain. Now I'm renting and fairly comfortable compared to the much larger structure I used to own which included land (now I'm in a one bedroom condo). I just wish I could drill a pull-up bar and TV articulating arm into the wall.

However, I'm able to rent and live in a much nicer area than where I could afford to buy.

Thank you for posting this - I'd had pretty much the exact thought about creating a market for multiple copies earlier today when I first saw this story, and presumed (in my typically arrogant and self-regarding human fashion) that I'd had a somewhat novel thought.

Of course I hadn't! :)
That's a pretty good idea. I was thinking about retrofitting the capacitive buttons by gluing rubber domes onto them, but changing its outlet to one controlled by a switch seems like a more elegant solution.
The headline had me alarmed. This is just moving heating and whatnot to physical controls. That's awesome. I was worried they were getting rid of the touchscreen entirely.

Android Auto has been an absolute game changer, and it works so much better with touchscreen. Voice controls actually do cover the majority of use cases, but things like being able to quickly see the next turn or zooming out on the map with one hand are simple, and can be done without really looking at the screen until you need to see the info.

Unfortunately, the car I ended up buying (Acura TLX) had Android Auto, but was controlled by a dial knob. It was really the worst of both worlds, since heating was still managed through a second screen that was a touchscreen.
I shared the link to look at all examples and yes its not the end of the world, it's starting point. But like i said you are prejudiced to only look at where NodeJS lags behind.

NEITHER you understand the simple fact that its not required to pass messages every now and then between master and worker threads, it can be done in batches NOR you care to look at JS and find there is something like SharedArrayBuffer.

I will say again, please don't guess, write the code for real life use case, invest some time learning new JS API and only then compare benchmarks.
You know, in 5 years, many things changed.

What's wrong with 4k monitors? I'm typing this on Fedora machine with one (default install with no tinkering, Gnome on Wayland).
Yikes man. I'm sorry that happened to you. If you don't mind my asking, what part of your life is still messed up because of this? Is it directly related to the charges or is it the outcome of spending time behind bars?
Not looking to start a fight but was a touchscreen really the cheaper option? I would be strongly surprised if that was the case.
Nikolas from the Prisma team here.

The most important thing to note here is that Prisma Client is not an ORM! [1]

Prisma doesn't map classes to tables as ORMs do and therefore doesn't suffer from the object-relational impedance mismatch. Prisma Client queries return plain old JS objects, which makes it really easy to reason about queries and returned data.

Prisma also has a query engine [2] that's implemented in Rust. This is being developed separately from the TS/JS layer above (so that in the future Prisma can support other languages as well).

Prisma also generally provides stronger type safety than TypeORM. For example, you get full type safety even for partial queries [3], you can find an example for what this looks like in this video [4].

Let me know if you have more questions about this :)

Why so many CEO's are stepping down in 2020
I think because cars, although primarily a form of transport, are often also a fashion accessory, or a statement of who you are (or aspire to be). And touchscreens are very fashionable[1].

Cameras aren't really like that. Nowadays if you've actually bought a camera as opposed to just using the one in your phone you're probably at least a little bit into photography, and in that context the function matters more than the form and style.

[1] I'll grant that cost, along with simplicity of reconfiguration via software, may also be factors.
As a long-time Mac user who gets irritated about something trivial within minutes of using any Linux desktop environment, I'd have to say this is pretty spot on. :)

Here’s a tip: all the WFH employees should strike in solidarity with the workers until the company agrees to meet their demands. It’s easy, coordinate with your peers and just don’t login and tell your boss you won’t until they fix the situation.

Corporate employees have never had more leverage than they do right now.
If I'm using a standalone camera, I don't want to be fiddling with other devices just to get geotagging working.
"Nature" isn't a word that's useful for expressing position along the continuum you describe, though. Instead it describes a sharp discontinuity that doesn't actually exist. The resulting mental model can't help but be inaccurate - and accidentally so, which means the simplification can't be controlled to avoid impairing the utility of the model.

I'd categorize the resulting conceptual error alongside the one that leads people to believe in creationism because camera eyes like ours seem too complicated to have arisen by chance. They aren't, but that's a thought you need the right conceptual tools to build. Without them, you might never get there.

Ultimately, what I'm saying is that "nature" is likewise the wrong tool with which to build thoughts about how humans interact with our environment.
I look at a coding problem and think, what problem did I or somebody else solve in the past that looks similar to this new problem? What’s different about this new problem? What’s the same? In that sense coding is more like reading, in that it is about pattern recognition and “reading the pattern”, then it is about creating something new entirely.
Look at the cockpit of any modern airliner and you will see screens, but they are never interactive. There are hardware buttons, dials and lights all over the place. A tactile interface is both more obvious, sturdy and more stable, and therefore safer. The problem that touch interfaces solve, ever since the advent of the first smart phone, is that the interface is now dynamic. You can change it without having to replace the hardware. Here's the catch: for safety critical interfaces, YOU DO NOT want the interface to change. The point is moot.

Touch screens will hopefully never make it into any critical pilot systems, because safety and stability matters to airline manufacturers, current ongoing scandals notwithstanding. I only wish automobile manufacturers took their job equally seriously.
According to this take it is well-settled law from previous epidemics that this is constitutional.

"In 1824, the Supreme Court in Gibbons v. Ogden alluded to a state’s authority to quarantine under
the police powers. In 1902, the Court directly addressed a state’s power to quarantine an entire
geographic area in Compagnie Francaise de Navigation a Vapeur v. Louisiana State Board of
Health,
where both the law and its implementation were upheld as valid exercises of the state’s
police power. A shipping company in this case challenged an interpretation of a state statute that
conferred upon the state board of health the authority to exclude healthy persons, whether they
came from without or within the state, from a geographic area infested with a disease. The
shipping company alleged that the statute as interpreted interfered with interstate commerce, and
thus was an unconstitutional violation of the Commerce Clause. The Court rejected this argument,
holding that although the statute may have had an effect on commerce, it was not
unconstitutional. In a subsequent case, the Court made clear that at least where Congress has not taken action, it is “well settled” that states may impose quarantines to prevent the spread of
disease even though quarantines “affect interstate commerce."

Venus: some ancient cultures recognized its "evening star" and "morning star" appearances as the same object; some thought they were two different phenomena.

The ecliptic, physically, is the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. It is so named because that is where eclipses happen, when the Moon crosses that plane. (Or other planets; we call that event a transit, but that's the same as a very annular eclipse.)

The projection of that plane as viewed on the sky from Earth is a great circle (or slightly offset, because the observer is on Earth's surface not at its center.) If the Earth were transparent, you could see the entire circle. In reality, you see a segment of it from horizon to horizon, as a line.

All the planets and the moon seem to stay near the ecliptic in the sky, because their orbits are within a few degrees of coplanar with Earth's.

The market “moves” on Trump’s meaningless words so no, it has nothing to do with this “announcement”.

>Of course this makes the game interesting and also explains why in real life the only sustainable model for economy is planning.

"real life" planned economies have done terribly so far, while price-based capitalist economies seem to have done a lot better.

>The planning starts from actually measuring/calculating the real demand.

Herein lies the problem. How do you measure "real demand" for an entire economy, without prices? Prices convey information about what is really in demand at a given time and without them it's remarkably difficult to get answers that don't involve guesswork or individuals demanding more than they really need.
Physical devices are far superior to touch controls. Not only can you operate them much more reliably under movement and vibration, you can reliably control them without looking.

Or would you replace your (_mechanical_) keyboard with a touch keyboard of current tech?

Anyone pushing touch screens to replace physical input devices in situations where you need to be doing other things at the same time is just insane.
I almost never drive by myself. Things that lock out my girlfriend from using them are very annoying to me. Android Auto does this on some features.

I'm using ssh to a named server online using a port >8192 from a 10.15.4 machine right now.

Have had no issues with it at all.
I would agree were it not for the hairy yaks. As a startup founder I just don't have time for my computer to not "just work." This is the primary thing that keeps me absolutely glued to Apple.

I do kind of like MacOS, but am concerned about their lack of strong interest in it.

I would pay for a "vertically integrated" open hardware Linux laptop. I've seen some promising projects but none are mature enough.

The second issue is apps, but that can be mitigated by having a Windows VM.
Zoom's got a tradition of being, let's put it like this, way too clever for everyone's own good.

See previous “lets install a server on this Mac that is not removed when you uninstall the app and leaves your camera open to the entire internet” for more examples.

I use it on a VM, I suggest you do it too.
I believe the overall goal of urban+suburban mobility is to increase the number of modalities of transport available. So adding scooters, busses, trains, uber, helicopters, planes, boats, etc.
I think there can be a balance between physical controls for actions that need to and will often be used while driving, and touch controls for stuff that you will most likely use when standing still.

Controlling the temperature or music volume will be done while driving so they should be actual buttons that your muscle memory will reach with no mental effort or distraction. Adjusting the suspension settings or typing in a GPS address can be done via a touchscreen since it's unlikely you'll do it on the move and touch offers a better experience for this.
That's only one control though. You can still accidentally touch something else while you fish for this control. I'm sure most users would prefer dials that provide touch feedback.
Superstring.py – A fast and memory-optimized library for heavy-text manipulation
Some time ago, I saw an article that described a very crazy hypothetical architecture that still fits the C standard and uses the undefined behaviors in various insane ways. It was named like "Computer platform from hell" or so. Unfortunately, I was not able to find it again. Does anyone know about something like that?

I think that the hegemony of C for low-level programming is harming us significantly because it puts the other models to obscurity. Try to write in C for something like F21 chip or J–Machine...
I've been working remotely for years.

In my experience, every other solution I've tried is a train-wreck, compared to Zoom (MacBook Pro w/ external Apple monitors). And, as far as I remember, I've tried them all, repeatedly.

Even first-class platform-specific solutions like FaceTime are, basically, unusable vs. Zoom. Its amazing, actually. I'm not quite sure how Apple managed to make FaceTime's audio just not work (almost ever), and Zoom just works, every time, on every platform.
Still loved all my physical buttons which made input a breeze and didnt require constantly correcting my dang text, in a phone context, nah, he's still wrong; maybe a hybrid is even better, but amorphous movement and inferring intent is not a great user experience as things get more complex.
I really wish Bevi (and similar kiosk type coffee or dispensing machines) would add physical buttons for dispensing and use the screen only for flavor information. I think our machine's screen isn't properly grounded or insulated from the refrigeration motors. I'm appreciative we have one in the office, however, and look forward to getting to see it again sometime.

Definitely agree with the sentiment that touch screens have gone too far. Feels kind of like the over use of plastic as we got better at manufacturing it. Hopefully the pendulum will swing back on touchscreens too.
I love me some good switches and buttons.

Sadly cars are kinda bad at those too.

In addition to the withdrawal rate as others have mentioned, the prudent approach to retiring now would be gradually changing their allocation to a less risky mix over the course of several years. Had for example they rotated some equity into a modest amount of Treasuries, that portion of their portfolio would actually be doing well right now (see for example $TLT).
I never buy this argument. I'm sure we could've focus grouped seat belts and no one would've liked the experience but thank god we have them now, for the better.

Trivially easy to explain:

The monitor you have didn't properly implement the Thunderbolt spec, and since Windows has looser adherence to the spec than macOS, things work fine.

This happens with web browsers every decade or so. "Browser X" follows the Javascript spec to a tee, which breaks millions of poorly written websites, so "Browser X" has to degrade its performance or lose market share, and thus we have lots of sites that are out of spec.

Make sense?
...but that isn't a well-defined program, is it?
How stupid the WOT may or may not be affects my point about what the phrase "e2e encryption" means not at all.

There's no "bitcast" operator that changes the type of a value without affecting the value. The most common workaround involves going through memory and praying the compiler will optimize that away (while violating strict aliasing semantics to boot).

Access through a union allow the same region of memory to be interpreted as different types.

No support for multiple return values (in registers). There's structs, but that means returning via memory because, well, see point 1.

No mainstream compiler will ever not optimise that.

Thank god.

I just got a 2005 Porsche Boxster with a CDR-24 radio, and one of my favorite things about it is how simple the interior controls are. Knobs, buttons, switches. The PCM radio I think might have had touch screen, but anyway...

My main point is that my 15 year old car doesn't feel anywhere near as dated as many cars from 2009, that have slow, low resolution, or awkward touch screens. The only car I've used with an acceptable (but still flawed in many ways) touch screen is a Tesla 3 or S.

An absence of features often for me turns out to be a feature. It's a car; do I even really need that many buttons or controls?
Thanks, but that's not the port number :-) That was just for illustrative purposes.
