As someone trying to get back into art, I've been considering using coloring books for shading practice - so I'm not constantly distracted by wanting to correct my own "bad" proportions, as I would be with my own linework. Granted, I'm more interested in the Call of Cthulhu coloring book linked elsewhere in the comments section, and I'd use different materials, but if you've got crayons - why not! More talented artists might amuse themselves with corrupting the original linework first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiCx1BIRQWc

Infantilizing adults can cause serious harm when it undermines their independence, or their ability to take on the burdens and responsibilities of adulthood. However, I'm hard pressed to see any harm in an adult enjoying a coloring book, especially when used as an opportunity to bond with the children they're raising or teaching. The original poster comes across as someone proudly exclaiming "Those are baby toys, I don't play with baby toys!" - a phrase and attitude I've heard almost exclusively from actual children - just dressed up in fancier words. I think it is far more infantile than a coloring book. Some of us are secure enough in our adulthood to indulge in harmless childishness from time to time. You can't stop us. Phhbbbbbt!!

I'm sure the President of Brazil can manage to find a way to convey his message other than Twitter. Thus it's not like Bolsonaro was placed under a gag order.

I believe that by "salaried employees" it was meant as "people that have linux kernel programming" in the job description.
A "glimpse" of the tremendous changes made to Glimpse in the latest release:

Added packaging documentation to the snap and flatpak folders to match windows-msi #305
Fixed make check so we can produce source tarballs for Linux distribution maintainers #251

A real joke....

> The tax treatment of dividends is less favourable.

They changed this a while back, didn't they? "Qualified dividends, on the other hand, are taxed at the capital gains rates, which are lower." [1]

AFAIK the only tax advantage of dividends now is that you're forced to pay tax every year, rather than being able to pay tax only once when you actually sell your shares. (Do let me know if there's something I'm missing.)

Show HN: Visual effect of Covid-19 on city traffic maps
I was curious how traffic patterns would look on Google Maps because of the COVID-19 lockdowns. A few toggles here and there, and the difference in multiple cities seemed stark compared with the usual. So I decided to automate the process with some simple Python scripts.

Guessing in practice you would melt some and see if it's shiny (leaded) or chalky (lead free.) Surely not foolproof for all alloys though.

Otherwise you could see how hot your iron needs to be to make it melt.
Which is an argument for people getting outdoors as we head into summer and not holding people in room temperature controlled buildings for months on end. Not to mention the benefits of vitamin D for health.
This is an awful take. What is “meat” is culturally mediated, and in many places around the world the views are different. So too is your view that beef is lower class than chicken(!)

So some people, “meat” is just red meat. But to still others the phrase “coconut meat” is sensible, meaning the soft white part of the coconut.

“Fish meat” would make sense to someone who says coconut meat, but probably not to someone who wonders if pork counts as meat..
Is it reasonable? In Italy and Spain they have so many bodies that they are running out of space to put them. These people are not dying of economic effects.

Fair point, but by the time the federal government recommended it, many flights were already being cancelled, especially through hubs such as Singapore and Hong Kong. It was not easy to organise flights.

My flight to Melbourne via Singapore was eventually cancelled, and I'm still waiting for SQ to get back to me what they're planning to do with my ticket.

It's basically rent seeking behavior if you taking public money and then using it to enrich yourself with no benefit to the public. That money could be 1) saved for a rainy day (like now) so they won't have to ask the public for money or 2) reinvested in the company to generate more value. As it is it just sucks value from the economy while also artificially increasing the stock price.

There are four considerations for fair use, the 1st, and 4th, both rely on the current context, and allow for different interpretations based on the current climate.

> 1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;

The purpose, in this case, is nonprofit educational purposes during a crisis. Such a purpose is generally looked upon more favourably, as it is presented as a humanitarian gesture in a time of crisis.

> 4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

During a crisis, a temporary, and very clearly temporary and short-term, effort is unlikely to have an effect on the potential value of a copyrighted work.

As IA have aimed this collection at education it's probably also worth including:

> such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means ... teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.

Also Norway. Typically close to 10 percent of the purchase price is a returnable deposit.

A few cans and bottles are discarded but the vast majority are returned because it is so easy to do; almost every supermarket has a machine that accepts the bottles and cans (including those not sold in that shop), crushes them, and prints a ticket that you can redeem at the checkout.
I just don't buy that argument of "let's let people die" to save the economy. That's evil.
In this case, they'd be likely to look at the upstream suppliers.
Whilst it's a common complaint that the testing criteria isn't wide enough, Australia is testing more than most countries (3rd in the world per population at the end of last week), and there are limited numbers of the tests available.

There's also not much evidence that significant numbers of cases are being missed.

Outside NSW there is hardly any community transmission from unknown sources (probably less than 50 cases in the whole country). We'd see that if we were missing cases.

In NSW the criteria was expanded as soon as there was evidence of wider community transmission. Victoria started random testing this week too.

IMHO this was a reasonable trade-off between limited test availability and risk.

I'd also note that there are 1.5 blood (antibody) tests being rolled out this week across Australia. That should give us insights into anything that has been missed.
It's symbolic of short-termism.

Instead of saving cash for emergencies or investing in new equipment, research or product lines, the cash is just 'wasted' on manipulating a share price in order to boost quarterly targets.

A lot of the time, management is then rewarded for the increased share price, which doesn't necessarily reflect the performance of the business in terms of their ouput, number of widgets sold or whatever.
"People in rural Africa should not have internet because I want an unobstructed view of the stars" ...is not a good argument.

Curious, what is your preferred method of dispensing the right amount of solderpaste for SMT work?

Even when not saving the economy leads to people dying?

Not sure if this is free to read, but it offers some of the reasoning behind the difficulty of shutting down the economy in poorer countries: https://www.economist.com/leaders/2020/03/26/the-coronavirus...

Editorialized title. Original title is "URL Bar Behavior Change in 13.4".

And it's clickbait, because it's not true.

What's true is that getting a cursor instead of a text selection is annoyingly hard and takes multiple tries. I think that was already the case before 13.4, though.

Same here. I started soldering with lead solder and found it utterly frustrating, it constantly felt like the solder ignored gravity.

Then a few years later I picked it up again with lead free solder and suddenly it was super easy and the solder flowed exactly how I expected. I'm not very proficient at it but since then I never messed up a pin.
They're planning to do exactly that in some (probably many) countries. But the antibody tests are just being developed and might be ready in the next weeks for larger scales. But you need to do this properly to get a representative sample, which takes a bit of time.

> Those who might end up in a hospital, which is to say all of us

Unnecessary fear setting. Not even close to all of us will need to go to the hospital at all.

Example, last time I looked at the stats, 20-40 had 0.2-0.4% chance of being critically ill from covid19.
Letting the economy collapse is also killing people, it's just less direct.
That makes no sense. Do you want future quarantines to fail because the last one needlessly destroyed too many businesses? If people realize that a quarantine will lose them their jobs they sure aren't going to comply and will just ignore future quarantines.
the bailout should work like a further share issue but with preferential terms, so if you are bailed out to the tune of $1m and your share price is $15 then the government gets 100k shares at $10 each for their $1m.

Are you aware of how many of them there are? And where they will be in the sky? And how low they are? And how shinny?

>images can contain a lot more visual information than a single character glyph + a color can

In any tiled implementation of roguelike, Tiles are way larger than equivalent characters, so clearly in practice they don't.

Humans are very good at recognizing different letters. Images that differ by a few pixels, not so much. At the resolution at which the letters are displayed it's impossible to have an equivalent image that is recognizable in any way.

The fact is that in ascii mode I can see a large chunk of the level, including the entirety of my character's field of view. In tiles version, my screen is not large enough. I have to scroll just to see what my character is currently seeing. How is this better, or playable at all?
No LiveView in the mix (that is pretty cool though), it just serializes the static props to the html output if you enable hydration and then has a hook I wrote (useHydrate) that initially returns the static props for the first render (so you don’t get warnings about the render not matching the static output) and then has a callback that lets you map the assigns from the Phoenix controller to the props.
And it is not mandatory in Italy and Spain, where the situation is way worse.

If you look at the costs / time to get the TMT up for example it is absolutely ridiculous.

> the average person doesn't have the same access to financing as some minority of well connected entities to financing bodies

That's .. also a market. The institutions have substantially greater ability to pay back, and in the case of banks, capital requirements that reduce their credit risk. They don't have the same loss of income risks as a human. Nobody should expect a market to produce a fair outcome from an uneven initial distribution.

Is there any evidence that access to Fed capital is controlled by political connections on an institution by institution basis?

A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22822858-a-little-life)

It is emotionally intense, beautifully written, and is a hypnotic read. Larger than life characters centered around one enigmatic protagonist, Jude. It's about pain, friendship, love, and the brutality of memory and experience.

Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33600.Shantaram)

An Australian gangster escaping his home country and falling in love with India (Mumbai). Lots of philosophy. A moral tale. Plenty of drama. And a love story with deep, dark characters.

A novel on idealism for the irrational, real world we live in. Centered around an ideal man, Roark, who struggles to survive despite being a brilliant architect; he doesn't give up on his principles and never conforms. Not a typical novel, disliked by many.
