MD in an American hospital here. New account for obvious reasons.

I was disciplined for bringing in a reusable respirator. The reason given was that it made other staff believe the health system wasn't doing enough to protect employees and creating extra fear. And yes, I was threatened with termination in the middle of this crisis.

> The way the social dynamics would work is that everyone would have to get "immortality" and the total number of children at any time would have to be much smaller than today. Real immortality would literally require having zero fertility (or else a galaxy colonization program) for obvious reasons.

It depends. If by immortality you mean "each individual actually lives forever", then what you say is true. If it means "each individual could live forever," then you could have immortality and fertility... as long as you replaced death with literally murderous competition between the immortals for survival of themselves and their offspring. IIRC, that's part of the plot of The Mote in God's Eye (which has an alien society oscillating between relative peace and population-annihilating war).

I'm looking for an equivalent of Stretchly for Android.

The goal of Stretchly is not to put a timer on your tasks, but simply to remind you that you shouldn't stay more than 20 minutes looking at your monitor without going to walk, stretch, look far through your window, etc.
This isn't about NSFW/NSFL. Those are a different tag. This is about censorship of entirely-SFW stuff that Reddit simply doesn't like.

They have tons of porn. They just don't have tons of political variation.
Don't what? Speak truth? Does the truth trigger you?
Looks great and I'd love to try it.

Does it record also the times that the timers are started / stopped, or only the duration of time that the timers are on?
True, at least not directly (you can segment tractography to infer this to some degree).

But fMRI is rarely used in practice for this, and may not be specific enough for many needs.

Physical mapping is still very common for function.
Well... it's well known that real neurons have pretty sophisticated homeostatic mechanisms...

But this is in vitro so all bets are off

Hi. My name is Luis Betancourt. I'm a young developer looking new challenges. I've experience building robust products from scratch on differents tech; Actually work as tech lead with another 4 people.
Unwinding the stack isn't necessary to find the exception handler. The language runtime code that finds the correct exception handler could just as easily walk the return pointers stored on the stack without modifying the stack pointer, frame pointer, or current return pointer. The reasons for unwinding the stack are (1) avoiding running out of stack space, particularly if the exception handler might itself throw (2) simplifying/optimizing the very common case of wanting the exception handler to unwind the stack.

It's vastly simpler in languages where you have resources that must be freed in the correct order (C++ destructors, Java monitors being released, etc.) to ensure correctness. It's difficult to correctly reason about mutating sate to recover from an error while other pieces of code might actually be holding the mutexes/monitors keeping that data safe.

It's an optimization, because you already have to do much of the work of stack unwinding (in the absence of destructors, monitor releasing, and the like) in order to find the correct exception handler.
Love hearing stories like this! Often, we only hear the negative or when people are having issues (it's rare for folks to speak up when everything is working well!), so it's genuinely heartwarming to hear how much people are able to use our program to keep their livelihoods moving.
That's just business as usual for long-time Sprint customers. Many of them have dealt through several network shutdowns already :D

Sprint is the world champion of picking the wrong wireless technology.

Think I have still have some iDEN and WiMAX devices in a drawer somewhere.
The first example is a machine with two states.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite-state_machine

From there you can deep dive into subjects like digital logic and automata theory.
Lots of options:
- Use Quick Sync
- Lower your bitrate
- Use a faster encoding preset
- Lower your output resolution

If I remember correctly then your PC is a dual-core, and you can't expect a low-end machine to do high-res encoding well without HW acceleration.
I think the parent comment makes it seem like the guild is addressing a problem external to itself. My comment simply makes the causal link that the guild is solving a problem of its own making. A simpler solution would perhaps be to end/reduce the AMA monopoly. In that case, doctors would make less (as they do in the rest of the world), but the supply of doctors would be much higher.

Tough to fully answer this question without context, but a few thoughts which may be useful. I work at GitLab, the world's largest all-remote organization, and have 14 years of experience in remote settings. I penned the guides you'll see below.

Hybrid-remote environments are tough if you don't have leadership on the office side of the equation implementing remote-first practices, such that everything is optimized for remote-first. Otherwise, your remote staff are always a second tier and at a disadvantage. https://about.gitlab.com/company/culture/all-remote/how-to-w...

It's possible that you're operating in Phase 1 of remote adaptation, which is imitating the design, structure, norms, ebbs and flows of an office environment. This is passable but not optimal. https://about.gitlab.com/company/culture/all-remote/phases-o...

Many office norms become slower when you try to copy/paste into a virtual world, which sheds light on the reality that those norms aren't the ideal way to accomplish the work. Instead of looking through the lens of "why doesn't this process transfer well to the virtual world?," look through the lens of "how could we be a more transparent and efficient team if we didn't have the burdens of the office?" In a way, it's scarcity vs. abundance mindset. https://about.gitlab.com/company/culture/all-remote/what-not...

Remote isn't for everything, and it isn't for everyone. It needs to be implemented well with intentional leaders, just the same as a colocated team needs intentional leadership to thrive. The conversation is often framed as us vs. them because that's the recipe for clicks, but it's a weak argument. Remote can work, colocated can work. You need great leadership, documented processes and culture, and company-wide trust in both instances.
One of the things that people are running into is Zoom link overload. My days are back to back

One thing I don't think they included is scheduling meetings - beyond just a calendly availability.

I've been using https://Woven.com to coordinate work availability for the past year and it's really helped me get a handle on my time.

I think time & calendars are going to be the next tools people are really going to need as they have to do a lot more self-directed remote owkr.
When I switched to them the alternative I had been using was not egregious overages, it was a hard cap with slightly more data.

I actually should have switched back but didn’t feel it was worth it the effort at the time.

Last month I cancelled and switched to Visible, which is an MVNO with unlimited data for 25$, there are similarly competitive networks out there now

Ask HN: How to find a GraphQL usability problem worth tackling (group project)?
Hey HN,

For a 4 week dev tool/library project for the bootcamp my spouse is enrolled in, she is looking into using GraphQL as the main technology. Do you have any feedback/suggestions on technical issues or usability issues that you have encountered when developing applications using GraphQL? This project is for resume purposes, and will be put together by a team of 5.

They're capable of doing something useful and plan to release an open-source extension to a GraphQL client library, or a patch to an existing library. I have suggested GitHub issues, IRC and Reddit as a way to find good problems to work on, but they're often pretty specific and not of a 5-week scope.

Appreciate any thoughts on either ideas, or how to find projects of this scope.

It's also true that many if not most countries have been reluctant to face up to the scale of the pandemic. It remains to be seen whether the Chinese government's obfuscation will turn out to be more or less damaging to the overall response than the inaction of other governments. We're a long way from the end of this episode.
And like one of the other comments in this chain points out - his personal email address was being used for government affairs, and that made it open to public records law suits. The public already has access to it.
Some of my teammates at GitLab are coordinating the Cloud Native Summit online event. They intend to use OBS + Zoom (and possibly Restream). If there are any resources you recommend for setting up OBS + Zoom + Restream for (mostly) Mac users, I'd love to share with the team. For context, the event will feature a mix of keynote and panel-style conversations.
You can do that with a script, here's mine. It reminds me every 15 minutes. It speaks it via speaker, then captures it and logs it and time.

#/bin/bash
while sleep 900; do
DATE=`date`
echo "Hello, what are you doing?" | espeak
DOING=`zenity -entry --text="what are you doing?"`
echo $DATE, $DOING >> ~/data/doing.txt
done
Anyone can submit new apps to F-Droid, the author of the app does not need to be involved.
Stormfront isn't blocked, HRC is.
Almost all of their changes are UI changes. They use our core OBS Studio code, with an Electron GUI instead of Qt. Not easy/basically impossible to port back over. We monitor any back end changes they make, and pull when appropriate. They do not collaborate with us, however, so it's rare they make changes that we can use.

That's mostly the case now, but that's a much more recent development than Wayland on the desktop becoming popular. Also, pipedrive gives you the plumbing, but you still need the portal API. My understanding is everyone more or less agrees that's the way forward, but it's still not stable and ubiquitously implemented. Even then, that resolves capture but not control: if you want something closer to ssh -X you need ways to forward input too, and IIRC right now the main answer for that is still compositor specific, e.g. krfb relying on kwin/KDE.

SF-GRU also works really well as a cost of living arbitrage where the time difference doesn't hurt too much.
Thanks for the link, I'll have a proper look later. I've done 62304 a few different ways in the past, one of the issues you run into is integration with your QMS and hardware ECR processes.
Consider a title that's meaningful.
Anyway nitpicking aside, folks all over are still going to work. So you can 'shelter in place' and get your Amazon delivery or groceries delivered or whatever. If they're young and confident, or really need the money, bless them.

As for the useful part of my comment, have you used a drive-thru? Did you see the close quarters and unmasked/ungloved employees there? Meeting a customer a minute for 8 hours?

Picking produce at least puts you in an enormous field away from crowded city conditions with a small cohort of people. Its risky, but likely no riskier than 100 other jobs.
This bums me out a lot. I moved to T-Mobile specifically to get away from Sprint.

yeah, because there's no way to tell about labour conditions in the supermarket... (where most of us unfortunately have to shop) I would really like to have shop to tell production cost/per unit like they have to do with price/unit in the EU. Not gonna happen with "Big"-Ag writing paychecks to the MPs though...

What killed IE (I am not a IE hater) is the amount of extra work you had to invest to get a site to work. I've recently done some work that had to work with versions of IE9-11. I consider myself pretty good with writing front end code that will work with IE and there are many gotchas that I had forgotten about. The debugger is painful to use even on IE11.

Yes I’d say:

- make use of the office hours that YC provides. You can schedule these once you’ve been accepted. They’ve already been doing office hours by video.

- ask YC alumni for introductions to investors. The community has really pulled together to support the W20 batch that just graduated. They’re the first to do demo day remotely. I know some of the companies had no trouble raising substantial rounds fully remotely.

- one aspect of YC that works really well is meeting other founders serendipitously. I anticipate that YC will probably figure something out to enable this, but don’t be afraid to reach out to relevant alums asking to connect.

The bit about a Vulkan and OpenGL isn't really accurate.

Practically no one, apart from some hobbyists working on side projects, are actually using Vulkan or Metal or D3D12 directly to make games or applications. These APIs weren't written for end-developers to use directly, they were written for engine developers.

I mean, it's fun to try. But you'll have to write something like ~1200 lines of C/C++ just to render a single triangle. It's a far cry from playing around with OpenGL immediate mode.

And to be frank, Vulkan/Metal/D3D12 are about as similar to one another as major graphics APIs have ever been. Sure, there's quite a lot of differences, but the broad strokes are more or less similar.
There's nearly a million cases worldwide. There's enough data. The death rate between 19 and 39 years of age is 0.2%. The death rate from 40-49% is 0.4%.

And that's the death rate only taking into account confirmed cases (by contrast, seasonal flu death rates are used by estimating total infections). I know in Canada lots of people with all the symptoms aren't getting tested. Also, the more testing is done in various countries, the lower the death rate.

Sure, but for how long will it remain sustainable? The lockdown hasn't lasted a month in Italy and they're already seeing early signs of food theft that could potentially degenerate into food riots. I'm struggling to imagine how any country will make it sustainable for more than a month or two. Yet on paper, a prerequisite for stopping the lockdown seems to be that you've been testing on a fairly large scale, which only Korea seems to have pulled off.

The situation in France, for instance, is unenviable at the moment and absolutely not sustainable: albeit to a lesser degree as in the US, there's not enough PPE for essential staff, not enough masks for everyone else, and most crucially not enough tests to go about. Yet there's a full lockdown with fines and all, and insofar as I'm aware there isn't enough financial help for employers or employees or the self-employed or anyone else. It's only a matter of time before everyone realizes that they're going into this like it's 1914, expecting it'll all be over by the autumn.

It won't.

It won't, because of asymptomatic cases and because the virus is spreading in developing countries. Rich countries won't want to shell out the trillions that might be needed so the latter can cope with the situation. (And that will translate into yet another migration crisis to boot. Etc. Etc.)

For better or worse, the current lockdown measures in a growing number of countries are only postponing the inevitable mass outbreak by a few weeks. That is, unless countries get their act together and find a huge pot of money to tap into -- and in periods with a collapsing economy, the only sane pot of money to tap into is wealth. I'm not holding my breath.

Be careful calling the numbers back. There's another scam where they use the equivalent of a 900 number to do billing to anyone who calls. The scammers use country codes with 3 digits to try and trick you into thinking it's a US number and hope that you attempt to return the call.
I went from a $70 per month plan to mint mobile and now I don't even remember what I pay because it is so much cheaper ($15 or less for 2GB). I love paying for a year at a time through a really clean interface, getting a discount AND not caring about bills. The reception of t-mobile is not always great and mint uses T-Mobile, but I'm a mint shill now.

T-Mobile was so terrible I couldn't even pay my bill in their store. Their service was awful and if you couldn't do something online you might as well forget it. It turned into modern banking, where going to a physical location would just get you people telling you they can't do anything and that you have to everything through their website while pretending that that isn't ridiculous.
If there are lots of comments every time someone writes about Lisp, that's a good health indication.
