I wonder how many people are self taught programmers, functionally or otherwise. Coding isn’t like reading. You aren’t locked out of learning it without a teacher. In order to learn how to code, all you need is a computer and internet access. The question I have to ask is, why should we teach people how to code? Why not let them rely on khan academy and tutorials and coursera. It’s how I learned, and how a lot of people learned, and we learned because we wanted to do something with it.

Coding isn’t like reading, not everybody needs to do it, not everybody should do it, and not everybody can do it. Coding is like math. And like math, after a while, most people just use the calculator on their phones.

Right, and 40A was good, so let's deliver 400A to every house. Actually 4kA. 4MA! Yes, every house needs a little mini-nuke, tear up everybody's backyard to put in a coal plant - no wait, that didn't happen because it turns out "enough electricity" is good not "more electricity is better".

Always On Internet access matters. But bandwidth, like electricity, is something that you can just have enough of and then more doesn't make much difference. And because of Buffer Bloat people tend to wildly over-estimate how much bandwidth they actually need/ benefit from.

And, in the absence of a dependency injection framework, it's likely that the units are not cleanly separable - because, without a DI framework, all classes are (presumably?) instantiating their dependencies directly.

Minimalist is fine but it's not really fulfilling my main requirement of being able to use it from my laptop and access the passwords on my cellphone.

I still think pass is the best password manager for Unix-like systems.

It lets me use multiple keys using GPG. It's simple and minimalistic. It allows for integration with 3rd party web GUIs you can expose on your home LAN and access with a VPN from your cellphone.

My college switched classes to an online format and we closed the college for two weeks to give faculty time to make the switch. So in addition to hastily converting classes to an online format we lost two weeks. I’m passing all of my students. There’s no way I’ll fail someone. I’m keeping my courses open until 2021 and will answer emails from current students until then so that they can get help with the course content they need in the classes they take in Fall 2021.

I know some of my colleagues don’t share this view. At least, they don’t openly share this view. Administration is making a show about keeping up standards and rigor but this is simply not doable in the present situation. Help those students who have the time, means, and luxury to continue their studies and don’t punish the ones who don’t.

> incorrectly be flagged as unsafe

It depends on what that means. For example, one can write perfectly correct code in a block of code marked "unsafe", it's just that the compiler cannot check it. In D, these are marked with the @system attribute.

We actually had a discussion about what to call such unsafe blocks. Other languages call them "unsafe", but I didn't care for that as it implied the blocks were actually broken. Hence we call such code "system" code.

There aren't false negatives by the design of the rules. This is different from what linters do, as linters issue warnings for code that is acceptable by the language rules.

Exactly! The body in charge of setting the rules is made up primarily of law enforcement and holds no accountability to the public. I have no doubt that if they are handed this opportunity to make encryption uneconomical for companies, they will take it.

Expert opinions about the effect of adding backdoors/ending encryptiin on safety won't matter to them.
Farmers have taken the current administration very hard, and the previous administration wasn’t a bright light either, especially if you’re not a Midwest grain farmer.

Between trade policies (Canadian onion farmers, for example, are importing subsidized onions for 25% of the production cost) and the federal government no longer enforcing anti-trust law (groups of grocery wholesalers are now colluding to set prices via reverse auctions) this is one of the most bleak periods for farmers in the last century.

Other operations are like tenant farmers. Chicken producers are a great example of that. They basically own risk.

Many businesses operate on the edge or need lines of credit that may or may not continue to exist.

A less charitable interpretation is that you're asking people how to get rich quick.
I see no problem with giving the students the option of going Pass/Fail instead of a grade, but passing everyone no matter what?

For some subjects, it would be difficult to take the next class (like Diff-EQ) with out first really understanding the previous classes (Calc 1 and 2). How can you justify passing everyone?

I'm not complaining about the general light-heartedness and casual laughter.

There are full on prolonged laughing fits about stuff the audience isn't even aware of. Like we're eavesdropping on kids experiencing a sugar high and giggling over an inside joke.

That becomes obnoxious real quick.
Fair point. The "automatic 404 when a database record is not found" is purely optional and something you choose to use or not, like all the other helpers. For example, see below code:

func Show(response *goyave.Response, request *goyave.Request) {
product := model.Product{}
id, _ := strconv.ParseUint(request.Params["id"], 10, 64)
result := database.GetConnection().First(&product, id)
if response.HandleDatabaseError(result) {
response.JSON(http.StatusOK, product)
}
}

"response.HandleDatabaseError" is the helper we're talking about.

All the informational dashboards I've seen so far have two main problems for me:

1) they show total cases including recoveries and deaths by default, bumping up countries like China

2) they sort by total cases which pushes high population countries high

The info I'm looking for is generally "how bad is it everywhere, right now". So I spent a couple evenings to hook into the Bing dashboard and create this minimalist breakdown off of it. Comments welcome!
I am guessing, but:

1. They can make someone with a temperature wear a mask immediately, reducing transmission to others on the plane, and containing them on arrival.

2. It avoids crowding and possibly cross-contamination on arrival at a testing station.

3. It prevents delays for passengers.
To be clear, my solution also included two libraries outside of the standard library. That’s idiomatic for Rust.
I can't see how something like Pharo Smalltalk is anything near something like Java unless you're comparing it to C++. Same thing with .NET. Those tools are all fine in their own way (high performance, extremely fine tuned garbage collectors, and extremely large libraries), but I can't see them being as productive once you're up to speed.
Never let a crisis go to waste. Scum.

There's a very big difference between a proof of concept "can pick some berries" and a solution that's viable at scale, even if ignoring financial limitations. The video edgewise admits to it as well:

> The country's largest supplier of berries has made use of the robot at one of its berry fields.

The operation shown in the video is likely not viable for actual pick and sell with a number of the issues I outlined above. As I said, there are many companies working on it, but claiming it's a solved problem is simply handwaving away the truth.
My motivation for writing spicypass was actually a frustrating struggle I once had trying to get pass to play nicely with my GPG installation. I decided it would be easier (and more fun) to write my own.

So one of the main differences is that spicypass is setup-free. You just pick a master password and go. It achieves this by using symmetric encryption via the libsodium library. A nice side-effect of this is that backups are as simple as copying the .spicypass file to your backup device/server. With asymmetric encryption you have to worry about backing up your private keys in addition to the store file(s).

Another major difference is that it has an idle lock. Even if someone has root access to your machine and you leave it unattended while spicypass is running, they won't be able to see your passwords (assuming there's no keylogger involved).

There's also the minimalist aspect. pass has a lot of features that I personally don't need and consider to be bloat. I designed spicypass to my own personal specs: A very simple notepad-like interface, but secure. I figure I can't be the only one who thinks all the bells and whistles that most password managers have just get in the way.

They are adopting microservices for the wrong reasons. It's easy for them to scale up, they don't need to scale out.
It's the developed countries with their easily-disruptable intricate systems that are more likely to get devastated.

Just look at the empty supermarket shelves for evidence of that. 'Just in Time' doesn't work when normal flows are disrupted.

There's more 'slack' in the poor countries' systems and that's more flexible.
If I have a keyboard, then for a relatively small dataset, such as my saved passwords, I prefer a text file over any database. Lookup workflow: decrypt file (with, say, gpg), find what I want (with, say, grep), delete decrypted file. (Not safe if you don't use disk encryption!) Update workflow: decrypt file, edit file, encrypt file, commit encrypted file to local git repo, git push to backup storage.
My internet provider uses another bigger telco's network for the "last mile" connection and they have cheaper prices as a result.

Now, if they were to run their own fiber and install their own equipment in telephone poles, that would mean a significant investment. Would they be able to recoup their investment while staying cheaper than competitors? Maybe in denser places (appartment complex come to mind) but in suburban areas, this is doubtful.
Sure, but you can only solve these problems so well. They are of finite complexity.

Back in 1980 or so, my family invented a game that has an interesting mechanic. Sort of like chess, but also like battleship, with two boards, and each player can only see his own board. When a player moves, they announce the piece and which square the piece is departing from, but not which square the piece is landing on. You track your opponents pieces one move behind. Collision resolution happens the next time you move the piece, and find out you did or didn't make it. You're allowed to guess where you're opponent might be moving and attempt to intercept. There's quite a bit of luck in the game since you're largely playing blind, but it's the kind of luck that feels more natural than injecting randomness with dice.

If you hadn't heard this podcast episode [1] and happen to be reading the comments here before reading the article, I highly suggest you listen to it before going any further. This episode is one of the best podcast episodes I have ever heard and both the interview and a few of the comments here spoil some of the twists and turns of the story.

Here is one of the opening paragraphs of the article to give you a little spoiler free teaser:

>To recap: California filmmaker Tyler Gillett was hunting for a song that may or may not exist. The quest started after a holiday party, when he started singing a tune from memory to his wife. He swore it was a hit from the ’90s, some aesthetic mix of U2 and Barenaked Ladies. His wife had never heard of it before. Later, after hours falling down Google rabbit holes, he realizes the song can’t be found on the internet, the infinite repository of information where almost everything that’s ever existed can be found. It feels uncanny, like he’s found a hole in the universe. But the song continues to settle into his brain, an earworm that can’t be cured. Desperately seeking a solution, he reaches out to the Reply All team.

I was about to ask how he proves that, but that way lies an infinite regress, so I found a copy and checked. I see that he defines (without using the terminology) the real numbers to be the completion of the rational numbers for the usual Archimedean metric and so, as you say, is able to prove the completeness rather than postulating it. (This explains to me your remark elsethread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22712940) that "So this is … a case of 'what is a theorem if you have a model is only an axiom if you don't'.", which I didn't understand on first reading.)

Note that this is just a difference of terminology from other approaches; those approaches prove properties of an abstract object satisfying certain axioms, and then are obliged to exhibit a specific such object. The approach you favour is definitely more hands-on, but runs the risk of obscuring that really field axioms + uniqueness is all we need; if someone else prefers to construct their reals using, say, Dedekind cuts, then there is no need to check all the theorems proven along the way, only that the axioms of a complete (as an ordered or metric space) ordered field still hold.

The comments in the article did point this out, that the 'acoustic coupler' and the MODEM were not the same thing.

I just found it funny that people should get so nit-picky about such things when it is just a matter of emoji symbols and when there are so many other conventions such as the save icon that we don't need to so triggered by.

Some people in the comments just could not let it go, they had to hammer on about the difference between the MODEM and what an acoustic coupler was when the world has utterly moved on and nobody cares.

Consider, sure, but we need to actually consider.

There is no model for any of this, on either side of the issue, and so the off-hand "we need to get back to dating, etc." really does look... heartless. It's just as much a zeroeth-order analysis as the other.

Fixing that would mean giving due consideration to the complexity of the situation, at least attempting to define one's assumptions/model, and being explicit about how much loss of life one is willing to accept.

With inadequate measures, this pandemic could rival the Holocaust in number of deaths. There's absolutely a difference between allowing millions to be killed rather than committing mass murder or genocide, but "let's get back to life as usual" does demand justification.
I work with a lot of people who write software and a few professional developers (~10-20 years experience in .NET & Java) and only one of them (has a computer science degree) has ever heard of Prolog and neither had ever heard of Smalltalk, APL, Forth, or Lisp when I brought them up around lunch. They're great at what they do and are much more experienced/talented than I at creating software, but it always makes me wonder why more professional software developers aren't more curious about the past and other alternative solutions. I can tell you how engineers did my job each decade going about 100 years back and how all the tools evolved over that time.
This is making me think of the OJ case, where although he actually did it (as found in the subsequent civil suit), at the time it was obvious to everyone that he was being lazily framed and the post-Rodney King LAPD was still profoundly racist.

Then there's the Lockerbie case, which was weird on a whole number of levels; I can believe it was carried out by Libya but the actual evidence is unconvincing.
