Hacker News is not the correct venue to discuss mysticism, occultism, and esotericism more generally.

What I'll say on the matter is that both religious and esoteric texts place high importance on groupings like this. Certain texts may provide explanation for the generations of particles.

They are worth investigating with an independent mind, while assuming that what you're reading is incorrect.

The COVID-19 crisis definitely falls in the category of “events people are prepared to exploit financially”. So yes, these markets are running normally and cash is still king.

If you could’ve bid higher than California you probably could’ve gotten all those masks.

That’s the point of these global crises. They create a new trade regime to play in, when the big finance entities feel like they’ve wrung all the money they can out of the old one.

What was going to happen to Boeing, Ford this year? Nothing good. They had squeezed out the last cycle and we’re in danger of drying out. Now what’s going to happen? Bailouts and cover for layoffs. Comparatively good outcome for shareholders I bet. And amazing outcome for leadership who won’t be blamed for the hard times, but otherwise would have been left holding the bag.

I’m not saying Boeing released COVID-19, or steadied the government’s (do nothing) hand during the response. But someone with deep pockets for sure is doing the latter.

Activating the camera and/or the microphone remotely without notification, on non-corporate owned premises may be illegal. There are wiretapping laws, etc.

Just because I own a microphone and camera doesn't mean I can use it unknowingly in your home. Even if you were to borrow it and willfully bring that camera and microphone into your home, there are reasonable expectations of privacy that can't be violated.

If I explicitly said I'll be using that microphone and camera to record you, made that very clear, and had you sign off on it without duress, then there may be grounds. The problem is, as a condition of employment, at least for me, would be a form of duress. If it becomes widespread and everyone caves into signing off on that sort of recording, then itll start to lose strength as being a form of pressure.
I’m pretty sure it can also mean that you’re buying something that you don’t need because you’re in a panic.

Where did you get the official definition?
Async or parallel systems are deterministic when the multiple paths don't cross, and when crossed the crossing points have well defined deterministic steps and interaction.

I'm also pretty disappointed with x1c7 Linux compatibility. I'm using Ubuntu 19.10 and it's not a smooth ride. I wish Lenovo had a Dell Sputnik like Linux support. Ubuntu 20.04 have been said to have better support.
+1 about the need for rewriting. There's a really good quote about that:

“There is no such thing as good writing,
only good rewriting.”
— Robert Graves

Unfortunately most of the writing we tend to do in the day-to-day is throwaway one-off stuff like emails, which are not worth polishing that much. As soon as you have a 1+ audience though, and especially for marketing and webcopy, investing the time to cleanup the message becomes super worth it.
In this vein, I've been focused on finding/creating tooling at the same level of abstraction as Go (net/http, database/sql + sqlx, etc) but in Haskell. So it ends up being a bit more ergonomic for a variety of reasons.

scotty (-> net/http), aeson (-> encoding/json), and postgresql-simple (-> database/sql) are pretty close, although aeson & postgresql-simple need some tooling on top to get them on par w/Go struct tag reflection imo.

I still love to use more advanced Haskell libraries, but there's something to be said for stitching together functions in IO with simple types.
So when I wrote my piece complaining about how people should not try to compare Go and Rust as they were created for very different purposes, people kept commenting that I was attacking a problem that I had came up with myself, and yet here's one more comparison of that kind reaching the front page of hn.

To me the question in the title is as ill posed as would be "Choosing Between C or JavaScript?".
During the pandemic, yes. Not so much after. I live in S.E. Asia and have been to a large number of countries in Asia, and I can't say I've seen extensive mask usage anywhere except for Japan.

Of course, it's much more common than Europe or the US, but it's still in the single digit percentages.

This was before the current pandemic of course. But eve today, in Singapore, I'd estimate 15% to 20%?
> is it not shameful to price gouge in a global pandemic?

Rising prices do not singularly mean price gouging. As others have mentioned, the global freight market is a relatively-efficient one. A single country regulating prices would only ensure that country reduces its own access.

If a global consortium capped cargo rates, the quantity supplied would diminish. For example, it's more expensive to run cargo on passenger planes than on dedicated cargo planes. If you cap prices pre-crisis, those passenger planes would never run cargo profitably. So total capacity would be reduced.

Freight rates rising are doing what they're supposed to. They're increasing the quantity supplied while rationing availability to the most-urgent users.
because coders work on open textual files. Designers work on closed binary files. Version controlling binary files is difficult, especially when you need to reverse engineering the file formats sometimes.
I'm living with my partner. We both work remote. Not sure about her, because her job (teaching) is not super-well suited for remote work, but my productivity remains about as high as before. Granted, I tended to be remote 1 day / week even before All This. I would also guess that if I didn't have my partner sharing the flat with me, my mental health & therefore productivity would be lower.

(As for monitoring, yeah, stuff like that mentioned in the article would never fly here in Finland. We have very strict privacy laws, and the employer cannot do whatever they please.)
> Glitches like this are very infrequent if you run well chosen hardware.

1 point sample here but I never manage to get reliable WiFi on a NUC6i7KYK. Hardware that should be included in the “well known” category.
Here's an anecdote for you.

I LOVE open offices. If you need something, you can ask. If you want to pair program with someone, they can just turn around or scoot over. You can tell if the person you need to get help from is busy without leaving your chair. Hell, even the distractions are nice. I've never felt closer to coworkers than when I've worked in an open office. I like the occasional nerf dart whizzing past my head. Work is 8 hours of your day, it should be enjoyed.

I've had my own office and it was miserable. It was lonely and I felt like I never got to know my coworkers. If I needed face to face time with someone I'd have to physically walk down the hall and hope they were in their office. It also put a larger barrier to asking for help, which slows things down.

I'm well aware that not everyone is like me and some people don't like open offices. That's fine, but it doesn't mean that open offices are inherently bad.
In this case they probably just signed a contract agreeing to pay $X/gallon for a period of time.

>>If private use of the work computer is expressly permitted to the employee, PC monitoring at the workplace is fundamentally excluded.

Cool. In most places that are not fancy IT companies where everyone is given a brand new MacBook Pro to use as a mixed work/personal machine, there is no such thing as "private use of the work computer". So given what you posted, there is no legal issue then.
What is the end goal for the thieves? Seeing as you obviously can't sell stolen artwork on the open market- how many insanely wealthy private collectors can there be out there, who are willing to risk substantial prison time to own a stolen painting? I think many or most people who have that much money probably made it legally and don't have that kind of risk tolerance. And I doubt many mob boss/Tony Soprano types really have an appreciation for fine art.... So what's the market like?

(And if there is a market for shady wealthy stolen art buyers, how do you get connected with them? Seems like every node in a web of underground connections is someone the police can potentially arrest & flip, etc.)

My only complaint about go is the lack of a Go supported IDE. There are lots of paid ones out there, but I've spent the morning looking for a good one that runs in a web browser that are easy to install.
Team offices are the best in my view. You actually can collaborate there without bothering other people.
Note that the section "Fuschia: Google’s Successor to Android" is incorrect. The [Fuchsia Programming Language Policy](https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/fuchsia/+/refs/heads/master...) states neither Rust nor Go is not supported for end-developers.
Sadly this whole current mess may be an insurmountable hurdle for an industry that was already struggling. This is all going to force some changes for what the future of retail looks like.

Hopefully in the long run we can all find a place for in person retail. I buy a lot online but still like going to stores sometimes too. We will likely see the industry re-invent instead a bit with smaller footprints and a focus on things that sell better in person than online.

> Whatever China says must ALWAYS be a lie,

You are talking about the regime that fired the previous official in charge of the chinese government's response to it's covid19 outbreak for aledgedly falsifying information, and afterwards inexplicably decided to officially leave out from their covid19 infection statistics any patient who was confirmed to carry the virus but subjectively wasn't experiencing major symptoms.

Meanwhile, the Chinese government's officials claim with a straight face that there are no new covid19 cases in China, and ridiculously stating that any new case happens to be foreigners importing an infection caught outside of China.

The reason why people think the Chinese governmemt is lying is because the Chinese government is patently and shamelesly lying.
If we have a high percentage of asymptomatic carriers, and masks reduce transmission substantially, it would be great to see a cultural change in Western countries to make them commonplace whenever you are in public.

If the fashion industry gets on board to make them look nice and production ramps up to make them widespread and affordable, we may actually see mass societal change around this.
Or “skiddie”.
The funny thing is that The Archers is extremely likely to go off the air in the very near future (they can't record any at the moment and they only have a couple of weeks in the can). Since the availability of The Archers is the key sign of life for the UK we better all pray that the Boomer on duty changes shift soon! (or this whole radio 4 thing is utter bollocks)
The muted greenish brown colouring, the strange wide aspect ratio, the generally dark tone and setting: if you'd try to sell this to me as a Van Gogh painting, I would have probably laughed at you. I'm far from being an art historian, but it looks quite out of character for a Van Gogh.
I generally like Crystal. However I think there’s a some unfortunate choices that make it hard to use. I’d really love to see them addressed (or planned for) before 1.0:

- global inference is more trouble than its worth. some way to opt sections of code out of global inference in exchange for faster compile times and better type error messages would be wonderful

- conflicting/duplicate C bindings in libraries aren’t easy (or even possible sometimes) to reconcile

- a lot of standard library interfaces to system stuff (e.g. sockets) are hard to extend for additional uses. there’s a number of reasons for this, but among them: enums wrapping simple integer based enums, but not actually covering all the values.

- parser is hard to reuse outside of the compiler itself, which is an impediment to making neat tools.

- some strange choices around co/contra-variance when dealing with arrays
I was just playing around with AWS a while ago and was surprised that I could not find any option to put a cap on the amount I'd spend in a month. Only thing I could do was set up alerts.

I imagine AWS would have 0 problems suspending all my services if I can't pay, so why can't it do the same thing when it reaches my arbitrary cap?
I can't find the source, but I remember reading about how there's a lifecycle to stolen art. The thief sells it to a sketchy art dealer at a huge discount. The sketchy art dealer then sells it to a more legitimate dealer at less of a discount. Then, it either goes to a legitimate private collector or museum. The length of time between each step can span decades, but it becomes more valuable at each transition.
In some juridictions (mostly EU countries I think ?) your employer would be at fault if they gathered personal information (for instance a sexual orientation you didn't disclose) from a personal account you used on a work computer. Or from anything you explicitely marked as personnal, even if it's on your computer. They might still delete the data indiscriminately, just shouldn't access it.

Being at work, on company's hardware, isn't enough to completely void your expectation of privacy.
Flow is good, and fun conversations are good. Either way, I'm having a good day and getting paid well.
Arch doesn't even have 5.6 in staging, let alone testing, let alone core. It was released less than 24 hours ago, that's barely enough time for the maintainer to test it on their own machines. No distribution releases a .0 kernel after 12 hours of testing to anybody except people who have explicitly opted into testing. and at that rate, there's a good chance you'll get -rc kernels too, and those are full of bugs (that's why they're -rc).
-While I cannot recall the exact legal aspects, years ago while I was the union representative at the engineering company I worked for, the company wanted (for very valid reasons) to go through a number of E-mails sent to/from a couple of specific employees.

The E-mails were eventually read - but in the presence of the employees in question and their (chosen by them, paid by the company) legal counsel.

I can not imagine an employer going to such lengths to accommodate the employees unless required by law to do so. This was in Norway.
How? The ULW comms network was decommissioned years ago! How would they know?!
I had something vaguely similar at an internship. Each team was in a separate room for security reasons (aerospace firm), so the co. was all groups of 6-10 people in little open-plan offices. I thought that was nice and quiet.
> I've been starting up using Go as "fast Python" for web services / REST APIs.

I've been using Rust as "fast Python". It's super expressive and you can get things done quick and dirty if you want.

IMO, the one advantage Go has over Rust is the fast compile time. Rust's type system makes it worth the wait (which isn't even really that bad).

> Trying to be constructive here, might it be because automated testing can't easily test things that touch the "real world"?

The Linux kernel still has embarrassingly little automated testing, and what is done is largely done by third-parties.
Most corporate charters would require a shareholder vote to authorize a new class of shares. Some may require a vote of each individual class of shares, including non-voting shares in addition to an overall vote. That takes a lot of time to arrange.

There was an explicit advice in the famous Apple Interface Guidelines that a good user interface should have all features be discoverable. The quintessential example was most things should appear in the menus but the menus will tell you about hotkeys. That was on contrast to DOS programs of the day where there were no menus and you were required to read the manual to even get started.
Thanks for the answer. TIL.

However, I must say that's just weird to me, because you're not required to use company resources for private matters.

The bathroom analogy doesn't really hold in my mind, since it's reasonable to expect privacy in any bathroom, but I see where you're going with that.

> How did you function as a graduate student without access to conference proceedings?

I don't remember too many instances where a paper I wanted could not be found (read into that whatever you like), but I do remember hitting some annoying limits in my institution's access.

> I think that's only if you de-select the option for the library, which people often do if they have institutional access (which will be almost all academic and industrial researchers I guess.)

I only recently signed up., but I think it's possible we're not talking about the same thing. If my base level membership has access to all conference proceedings without additional charge - which seems to be what your comment is implying - it's a pleasant surprise.
I feel for any person that has to deal with this type of employee. It is very demoralizing to give responsibilities you know are not going to be handled well (but you still have to do this), it is also very demoralizing to the rest of the team to observe this unfairness go unpunished.

Still, I would focus my efforts on the productive part of the team. Making them feel safe and appreciated seems to be more worth than spying on the ones that drag the team down. People do observe how you treat team members with "problems" and will see that your measured response means they can feel safe. Safety I find to be prerequisite to healthy work atmosphere.
Sounds great. Can you provide any details - what time, how to connect, what will be covered?
Upwork has a system to automatically capture screenshots while a user is on the "clock". While we never request this functionality, some people enable it. I found it interesting to browse, however, I found it distracts from the ultimate goal, work product. It can also breed distrust, i.e. instead of looking at what your co-workers/team gets done, you start asking questions like, why is this person doing that. My point is, it's counterproductive.

What we found was very product was goal setting and work product review at regular intervals. I.e. once a week evaluate the code quality and velocity of work. What we found was if it's good, it's almost always good, and if it's bad, its bad from the start and doesn't really improve.
Good point. AES hardware acceleration makes a massive difference. It's why ZeroTier 2.x will use AES. Tiny boxes that lack HW acceleration are generally not used in cases where they're pushing enough bandwidth to matter anyway.
Yeah, the documentation on the webpage isn't great - there isn't actually an example that you can follow step by step to get a usable tunnel. That's unfortunate, because it isn't actually that hard.

Show HN: I created a jobboard to help people find remote jobs in gaming industry
That’s my next destination! I just felt Go was an easier first step away from interpreted languages.
Hello everyone,

My name is Maxime and I created in early 2019 a job board specialized in remote job ads in the video game industry. Three years ago, I created a blog (creersonjeu.fr) in which I share my knowledge in video game development. I'm part of many gamedev groups on social networks and it's been a while that I've noticed that it is very difficult to find remote jobs.

That is why I created Arcadjobs.com, in order to help my community and people in general to democratize remote work in this sector.

I think this can be useful to a lot of people, especially in these times of general confinement. Some of my subscribers encouraged me to share it more widely, that is why I'm telling you about it here (and in the subreddit /gameDevJobs, where it got a lot of positive feedback).

If you're looking for a job, or if you're a company looking to employ remotely, I hope my job board can help you :)

Also, feel free to give me feedback to improve the service.

Be safe, and don't forget to wash your hands!

Not every state provides UC for furlough. My understanding is that the majority of employees are in states that do, though.
Do they actually block/throttle all UDP?

What about encrypted TCP? Do they block/throttle everything but web and recognized traffic? If that's the case wrapping WG or ZeroTier or whatever in TCP would do nothing since it would still look like a weird unrecognized protocol with a max entropy (encrypted) data stream.
I would agree for all of them. But, from personal experience - productivity dives down really badly the moment code base have grown in size considerably. Adding more people makes it even worse, since most of these people start to come in with a very fresh language knowledge ("oh, Go is simple, you can pick it up in no time --management"), and you have to babysit each merge request carefully. Which makes your productivity worse, mgmt adds more people, you miss things here and there, and code quality goes down.
Perhaps it was stolen to order? Essentially the market would be ready-made for the thieves.
Sorry, I think I was confused by the "This" in your sentence that I quoted. I meant to point out that a mask protects you directly (if you are not sick) and not just by lowering the spread of the disease throughout the population. It seems that you actually agree and I misunderstood.

I am not sure why would you want to run your IDE in a web browser, but Visual Studio Code [1] is regarded by the Go community as one of the best code editors (with plugins) [2] to develop Go projects, and in case you do not know already, Visual Studio Code is technically a web browser [3]. That being said, Goland [4] is probably one of the best integrated development environments for Go programming out there.
