Kudos to you first for recognizing your own error and second for openly admitting it.

I think there many things to consider here. For new developers, I'd encourage you to look for those "old guys" who really know their stuff. There's a lot of unmined gold you can discover there if you find the right ones. I think us older developers would do well to imitate the patience and kindness of Tim Paterson more often. I guess what I'm saying is both sides could do with a huge dose of humility. I know at times I've been the youthful dev out to one-up the "old guys", and I've been the senior dev thinking "these kids today" to myself when dealing with those with a lot less experience. And both of those are bad.

Also, there are many times when a young guy fresh out of college spots a problem, finds a great solution, and makes things ten times better by just doing it! If you're in the business for a long time, it can become too easy to be cynical, and lose your enthusiasm.

I think the best thing we can do is try to let the good stuff from both sides rub off on each other.
Well, the ice is melting anyway.
Definitely, the definition of "good" is subjective and one can never get it fully right automatically — but as far as TeX's line-breaking algorithm goes, avoiding successive lines starting or ending with the same word wouldn't require any major change, it could just be added similar to the existing method for consecutive lines being hyphenated (\doublehyphendemerits), without giving up the dynamic-programming algorithm.
Privatize the profits, Socialize the losses, that's the American Dream.
There’s a fair bit of documentation here. I’d try it but I don’t have any supported terminals on any of my machines... (usually I use kitty, but I have a couple machines with KDE and Konsole.)

Something similar: https://cv.me/ . But yours has more templates that i like.
It's not mongering fear about contamination in the food, which should be fine. Every industry has had sick workers before, but many have shuttered. Rather than just helicopter dropping $2 trillion and going home, Congress should have been thinking about how to make sure that key industries can pay for safety measures and replacement workers. The price system could do that, but people call it "profiteering".
Agreed, but this article didn't convince me. Watching the Comcast/Verizon duopoly play out over two decades has overwhelmingly negated the argument for private-sector infrastructure.
Or independent rewrites.
Not if you read the article. It's pretty clean the New Grad didn't understand the details, the scope of the problem. He was theoretically correct at 50k ft. In reality, the details made his theoretical irrelevant.
And this includes Elon Musk's Tesla who was once a week from bankruptcy and wouldn't have made it through a crisis like this one.
If the authorities at various levels allow undocumented workers to exist, then they will filter into the economy and market forces will definitely force farms to take them on.

This is not about farming though: it's the canary in the coalmine for the entire economy.

You cannot just stop the economy and print magic money and expect everything to be ok.

We have to be smart like Koreans and control this virus effectively so we can progressively get some of the gears going again, because pain is coming otherwise.
Fuck you.

I hate comments like this on HN.

The article clearly elaborates which methods/tools are used in their test process.
Six Tips for Getting into Data Science
I do indeed have high aspirations for my life. Given my career of choice and what I've read so far regarding other people's experience starting a SaaS, I definitely feel it can be a viable way of achieving those aspirations.
Along those lines, what's wrong with using free and open source editors with great debug support such as VSCode? I don't understand the appeal of using Jupyter notebooks unless you're plotting or documenting.
And it's was a simple decision for you too: do I pay this much for my food, or expensively more?
The two political parties are already caricatures. Of course it’s a gross simplification, but participation means being forced into those by the procrustean American voting system.
It is also well-known coal power plants emit way more radiation than nuclear ones. And air pollution caused by coal burning (e.g. in Ulan Bator) is beyond any reason. The very fact people still burn coal in cities in the 21st century is mind-boggling.
Do you want to lose weight quickly?
Some things missing: punch card, paper tape

(Having a range for punch patterns may be also nice, thus we could actually list these kind of media.)
> If you want to be competitive on the market you need to lower costs and cut down on margins.

Yes, exactly. There are certain businesses that should not be subject to market forces: essential services that have tiny margins.

> You can't just have a big pile of money lying around "in case all flight is halted for a few weeks/months"

Then you get nationalized ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. If you want to be privatized again, make enough money to do buybacks.
This is highly dubious. Logging roads might be considered "roads" but some are passable only by heavy equipment. If you have to stop and repair the road every few hundred meters then I don't think it counts as a road.
Absolutely! This is something I've seen many people emphasize so it is something I will keep in mind for every decision I make.
Maybe by not doing billions worth of stock buybacks over the last 10 years?
They've literally been shut down for what... a month??
Browser Extension: Double Click To Copy Code From Stack Overflow
Yes, and Bernie should run it.
The planes won't vanish. The staff won't vanish. When demand resumes, new airlines will fly new routes, and those who made a fortune over the last 10 years from stock buybacks will be the ones who lost.

Clearly that won't happen. Income taxes will rise to pay for the stockholder protection act. Tax the productive to subsidize the wealthy.
Gamers at Work is also great if you're curious about the early days of the games industry. The discussions focus on the business side, so it reads more like Founders than like Coders. Interesting to see where some of today's giants began.
And pets will practice social distancing even worse than people, if you can imagine that.
Some utilities should be heavily regulated, or even owned by the state. Internet access is one of them.
Everything else is just "deregulate everything 'Murica" propaganda
That is entirely false. Nikon actually designs their own sensors. They don't call up Sony and order a bunch of sensors. More info here:

Germany had a few overseas colonies, late in the game. And boy did they resent it.

Eastern Europe is not as rich as the west, but is not all that far behind -- Poland has the GDP that the UK had in about 1987 (says google). And of course got deeply massively trodden on in a way that certainly wasn't colonialism, rather more recently than most ex-colonies.

The East India companies were indeed large for their time, the biggest companies ever until canals & railways got invented. But it's hard to comprehend how small the scale of commerce was then, the sum of all long-distance trade was a few containers. Enough to make a few well-positioned men very wealthy indeed, they built some nice mansions. But not countries.
Autodidacticism
Ask HN: How do you monitor your background jobs?
When you have many background jobs, that take either a few seconds or lots of minutes/hours, how do you monitor them?

How do you know when they started and when they finished, their outcome, etc. Do others, non-tenchical folks, need access to that or is it just the developers?
And compared to virtually every nationalized telecom it provided better, cheaper service that was universally available.

Internet access should be regulated like it was a utility however, and that's the great failing of public policy in that area.
Is that 1,000 NZD profit, or revenue? It also looks heavily reliant on volunteer effort, basically free labor.
If we're playing that game, there's a million things they could do as well, but it doesn't make any of them likely. Hell, they could do what you're talking about right now, other countries do that even though their Internet access isn't controlled by the government. The porn ban in the UK is a great example of privately-controlled ISPs being forced to block certain sites.

I'll repeat, there is absolutely nothing about publicly funded Internet service that in any way even remotely connects "internet access as a public utility" to "government starts blocking certain sites". They could do it right now if they wanted to.
"This means that an empty USB drive (which mostly holds zeros)"

...maybe?
They often result in solid financial returns for the government holder of equity.
But people want cheap food. I pay about double the price for my “fancy” milk which is locally produced and supposedly uses more sustainable and ethical practices. How many people would be OK with paying double the price for food? Probably not many judging by the myriad of much cheaper milk.
That was what I feared. Even a small country of say 10M will need to test and re-test a significant part of the population over the coming year. Anything that won’t scale to several hundred million tests after summer isn’t very interesting.

Like that device from a few days ago that could test 1000 people in a day...on 100 machines.
++++ on The Mom Test. The #1 book any founder (solo or otherwise) should read before starting anything.
This is pretty fun, I like the logo it creates too! Wish there was a specific ToS and license though
Agreed: I seeded it with "enem" and it returned, among other suggestions, "enemyslut" and "enemakite."
> You can't just have a big pile of money lying around in case...

Banks and corporations are requiring their employees and the government to do this for them, while simultaneously claiming to be profitable.
I guess you missed the point. With a cheap and imprecise test you wouldn't need to stay home at all times (only when carrying a virus) and the economy could continue running mostly as it would normally.

However, everybody seems focused on a test designed specifically for Covid-19 which means the economy will remain shut down for months to come.
>see the man who died after heeding Trump’s assurances that chloroquine was a possible answer to coronavirus

>Who are these conservative bad actors you’re referring to?
Obviously there’s Fox News...

This article strikes me as partisan, divisive flamebait.
Just the executive branch? You should look into the corporate manipulation of the legislative branch- buying elections with PACs, gerrymandering, voter suppression, the filibuster, extreme partisanship on every topic except the protection of wealthy donors...
How does this compare to uranium mining?
Thank you! I've seen that youtube video previously and it was exactly the kind of advice I was looking for. I will put "The Mom Test" at the top of my list as I've seen many recommendations of it elsewhere too.
At a small profit to the US taxpayers, even.
How does Strichartz prove it? You certainly need some axiom beyond, say, the ordered-field axioms; for example, the analogue of Theorem 3.1.1 isn't true for ℚ in place of ℝ.
The parent post was talking about the current practice of bailouts.
Coal mining? Wouldn't have thought of that. Luckily the coal industry seems to be on a steep downslope already (much more so than the rest of fossil fuels).
Also:

> [In countries that adopt the Chinese standard] everyone in those countries would need permission from their internet provider to do anything on the internet - whether downloading an app or accessing a site - and administrators could have the power to deny access on a whim. [State-owned ISPs would effectively give this power to the state].

> During its presentation at the ITU, Huawei also made it clear that New IP would have something described as a “shut up command”, where a central point in the network could effectively cut off communication to or from a particular address, according to a source who was present. He described this feature as a “fundamental departure” from the current network model which acts as an “agnostic postman that simply moves boxes around”.
Grinding wheat with sandstone plagued Ancient Egypt. If you're a god, why do your teeth rot?

All these devices made with bail outs spread a killer flu.

"I'll just die!" says our amoral, win at all costs celebrity driven society, while we go into debt to increase the price of oil.

Recent developments suggest the human brain lives long after death. Even if the brain is destroyed, I'm sure we can rip your consciousness back out of creation somehow.

If it's not right, don't do it. Stay at home. Contribute knowledge. Get a box of free stuff. I'm not spending trillions just so rich people can have a restaurant.
As a new grad myself, I completely agree with the author’s freak out when seeing “inefficient” looking code. But I feel like this applies to basically all aspects of a company life as a new grad software engineer. For me at least, there seems to be a lot of inefficient things going on in every aspect of the company. Maybe the author is right in that there is a reason behind those seemingly “inefficient” things. However, the inefficiencies are there because sometimes, people who have been working there for years just have become used to it.
A Prometheus fork for cloud scale anomaly detection across metrics and logs
>The images aren't sharp because the sensor is too damn small, it's more about sensor size than pixel density. That's why a 4x5" sheet of film still blow any digital camera away in term of details, sharpness, tonal range, &c. even when using 80 years old glass in front of it.

Please demonstrate how it "blows away" any digital camera with a 80 year old lens. This sounds to me like a completely made up claim without any data behind it. (data != one random image)
Do you keep any notes or record of the good talks/speakers online? It sounds like it would be valuable!
“More generally, why do many tech companies charge for training in using their products?”

It wasn’t always like that. A lot of the “disruption” that came from tech companies wasn’t necessarily about great tech but often their advantage was that they took shortcuts in terms of customer service. And good manuals were one of the costly things they dropped. Just compare Microsoft or Apple documentation from the 90s against what we have today. Back then they put some real effort into writing good manuals. Today it so just some auto generated stuff and even that doesn’t work well. Or try to file a bug and you just get an empty response from some bot.
Covid-19 in Italy: indipendent case fatality rate & contagion analysis
I've done physical work and it's fun at first, and I do like the physicality of it, but it gets boring fast and that I object to. After getting boring it gets soul destroyingly dull. I mean, working eg. in a warehouse can make people hollow. OK, some do like it, but many I knew didn't. Most tolerated it because they had no choice.

It's a very good thing for a period, as a part of growing up, but as a career, or for long periods. It's not good.

There will be plenty in the fields who would have had a career as a scientist, technician, engineer, who the world is now deprived of that because they are forced financially to work in a field (in the literal sense).
Sure, the proof in Strichartz is constructive, defining a real number that is the supremum of the set.

LLN (I'm going to assume that the family name is Nguyen) can't do that, because they have no model of the real numbers, so it isn't possible to say that some construct is or isn't a real number.

So this is more a case of "what is a theorem if you have a model is only an axiom if you don't".

If you changed the statement of the completeness axiom from "every nonempty subset A of the real numbers that is bounded above has a unique real least upper bound sup A" to "every nonempty subset A of the rational numbers that is bounded above has a unique real least upper bound r", you'd have the Dedekind cut construction of the real numbers. That's not generally presented as an axiom either.

I find Affinity Designer is way way faster to use than Illustrator. It's not just the rendering, the whole UI is streamlined. However, it's missing many features compared to Illustrator, especially some of the stroke patterns.

Income loss for you is also income loss for the traveller who has to rebook the trip and pay double if they can't cancel. I have a booking I made in June in California. It was for my grandparents to stay at while they visited me (unfortunately my apartment is too small). Even though June is outside the travel ban time, I don't want two 80 year old people traveling during that time since we know Covid-19 will be active during that period.
Been there, summer of 2013, really neat place. Italian drivers actually stop and let you pass even if you are jaywalking.
I got the chance at work recently to work solo on a small, greenfield project, where I was fully in control of all the pieces and the problem space was small. I could do it any which way I wanted.

Gods, it was wonderful!

As I've moved up the ladder and worked on complex enterprise systems, with umpteen integrations, overly-strict SAST systems, enforced 90% test coverage and the like, I seldom feel the "joy of code". It was good to feel it again!
Yes but not many because Chicago School Economics says you immediately privatize them in that case.
Ceteris paribus, doubling of atmospheric CO2 causes warming of about 1 degree Celsius. That's not called "quadratic" where I come from.

What would you describe as strong? How much money should companies be hoarding in everyday situations?

(Not to mention that Bird is specifically a startup, which is a company meant to run on investments at this stage.)
I’m not a dev but a consumer in this question and I’d just say a service or site that has Sign In with Apple and Apple Pay available on the web is and instant use on my end. I will continue to vote with my paltry wallet for these technologies to take off even more, especially Sign In with Apple.

I don’t want to give my actual email out. I like the relay aspect. And it should make logging in and user management and single sign on and all that much easier no?
Taking the difference between normal complexity and asymptotic complexity to the extreme you have https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactic_algorithm which do have the best asymptotic performance, but only on values of n so large they never come up in real life.
I can't imagine it's terribly likely, but imagine if you infected your outdoor cat, which then infected other neighbourhood cats, which then infected people who were otherwise isolating themselves?
If AAL had saved their entire 2019 free cash flow (literally impossible), they would still be $6B short of their projected expenses. There is very little of their cost structure that declines when the planes are parked: Employees need paychecks. Lease payments are due on the engines and airframes. Rent needs to be paid on facilities. The fuel savings from not flying are offset by the need to mothball aircraft.

Fixing the Desktop Linux Security Model
In the 1800s the US was indeed expansionist. But their view was that of Manifest Destiny - it was the USA's manifest destiny to expand and control the Western hemisphere. To that end the USA launched wars (eg against Mexico), fought against colonial powers, and so on.

However it was also a defined sphere of influence. The USA was late to both WW 1 and 2 because what happened in Europe was widely felt to not be the USA's affair. Privately we armed one side, but we didn't fight. It was not until the Kaiser attempted to form an alliance with Mexico that the USA entered into WW 1. And not until Japan attacked did the USA enter WW 2. After WW 2, the USA proactively looked for opportunities to engage world wide.

On the colonies, all of the European powers had put down rebellions repeatedly. After WW 2 they moved towards transferring power to local authorities. And their desire to do this was codified in the UN charter. See https://www.un.org/en/sections/un-charter/chapter-xi/index.h... for verification.
What is limiting robot-assisted telemetric food harvesting? Why cant I connect to the web with a gaming console, play farmer and be rewarded for it?

The data could eventually be used to develop self-harvesting farms.

There's already automated computer assisted surgery, so is this really that far off? Is it desirable?

It runs eventually into a similar problem as self-driving cars and the looming unemployment of truckers.

"My thinking here is that it’s best to catch problems as early as possible as the code is written, using the compiler the code is written in as part of the compile-edit-debug cycle, rather than having static analysis as an extra tool “on the side” (perhaps proprietary)."

Really? Your thinking? I mean seriously, why do you have to start off a good article and feature with a sentence like this? This is not your thinking, and if it was, you have been living under a rock for the past decades... Why the need to make it sound as if this decade long idea was yours?

Does the CWD feature actually use terminal escape sequences?

I always assumed the emulator accessed the working directory of the child process (as in /proc/$PID/cwd). On my terminal the CWD feature only seems to work for the topmost shell, and symlinks get resolved.

EDIT: Linked bug report mentions OCS7 (presumably an escape sequence), as one of the ways to track CWD.
In the US a resume with a photo will be discarded immediately by most companies. I suspect companies have written policies that say no photo resumes allowed.

The simple reason is that a photo just opens up a ton of bias accusations. There is literally 0 information a photo can provide that can be legally used to make hiring decisions, but on the other hand, there are a whole host of biases it can introduce.
