Dane here. The danish keyboard is arguably retarded, but I've used it my entire life, and on purpose have not tried other layouts, because as soon as I use a computer that isn't my own, I'd revert back to hunt and peck mode. It's the same reason why I never bother changing software defaults, except in rare cases.
The Issue with Coaching
Yep, I watched some before and got distracted watching them for days once since YouTube starts showing them everywhere like on the home page if you watch a few. Kinda gets you in a very depressed mood by how these people get treated for filming and exercising their rights but even some of the people filming I think are wrong too. Like some are very professional acting though, sorta like what an investigative journalist would be doing but some are kinda punks and just cussing and making fun of people though doing their jobs like even unelected employees. I mean sure you can cuss and flip people off since it's your right as speech but I kinda like the idea of respect and treating people how you'd want to be treated. I guess one of those pick your own battles type of things.

But also watching them it makes me wonder if sworn police officers even have read the constitution, or just raised their hands and repeated what they were told during the swearing-in ceremony ... Then some of them seem to think the first amendment only applies if you work for the local news outlet such as channels like 2, 5, 7 or 12, etc... Like in some of the videos cops ask what news station or paper they work for. On the other hand though maybe the cops know anyways but try to use it as an intimidation tactic. Kinda like if you even know your basic civil rights, and start trying to exercise them they ask if you are some lawyer or something or if you are young ask if you are some law student. I guess they think only lawyers can know the law?
A must-have book is "Computer Organization and Design" by Patterson.
The board shown in the video is the very first iteration of the project. As you may see there are some patches and rewiring that I have fixed already.
I also improved the design considerably in v2, the schematics and code on GitHub are up to date.
This new version will include more general-purpose registers, improved stack pointer, and expansion bus, together with an LCD display interface.

an interesting hack is to create two tablespaces, one with record size of 8kB, one with recordsize set to maximum, and then appropriately assign tables to them according to ones performance needs. Rarely-written (for example historical) data can be put into partitions living on the large record tablespace (for example 1M recordsize) and have indexes redone with 100% fillfactor.

Of course all of that should be informed by getting actual data about performance first ;)

SARS wasn't able to spread nearly as quickly as the novel coronavirus, possibly because of the incubation period and prevalence of asymptotic carriers in this coronavirus.

That wasn't true of SARS which made people very sick so it was able to be contained (it's possibly that the novel coronavirus is just far more contagious but I don't know that for sure).

By mid to late January we all knew this. It was happening in China in full view of the world. The question was whether it could be contained, we didn't know that at the moment. But without extreme intervention it was just simple math that this would happen, and it did.
Thanks for this - 'pg_stat_statements' definitely looks like a similar feature, in particular because it reflects the count of disk-related operations (not just I/O time).

It took some brief configuration but I've been able to try it out locally and will refer to it when doing PostgreSQL query performance tuning in future.

My family has been canning (or freezing) food for years. If you know when local foods are in season, you can buy large amounts of food for very cheap by buying directly from the farmers. Often farmers will set up markets by the side of the road or on their own property. Sometimes farmers will have deals where you go into the fields yourself and pick as much as you want, paying for it by weight at very cheap prices.

(If you factor in the cost of your labor, that's probably not a very good deal. However if you think of it as a fun weekend family activity instead of labor, then you can get a lot of food for very cheap.)
Definitely, I am missing the intrinsic societal value of Goods and Services produced from Model A and that's lacking in Model B. I am curious if Model B can use the generated revenue with a guaranteed (by law) expenditure to benefit the society?

Documents, believe it or not. And I'm really happy with how it works. I use Google Docs, but Word or whatever would work too.

One of the key things is I don't try to create some kind of central repository of every link I care about. In fact, I explicitly avoid this. (So I don't have a huge document with all my links. Nor do I have or want any kind of single, comprehensive database of all my links.)

If I'm dealing with a particular topic, I want those links together in one place. Eventually when I move on and forget about that topic, the links are pretty irrelevant, and since they are organized together in that document, there's basically O(1) cleanup to get that clutter out of my life: just stop looking at that one document.

Usually how a new document forms is that I'm working on or researching some topic, and I start getting that feeling that I have a lot of browser tabs that I don't want to lose. At that point, I create a new document, the title is whatever topic I'm working on, I create some headings to categorize things by type, and then in outline format I add links along with a very brief word or two about what is useful about that link.

You're probably thinking that copy/pasting links and typing stuff is a lot of overhead compared to just hitting a hotkey to bookmark something. It is more work, but it's easily worth it. Every time I make one of these documents, I'm glad I did because it becomes a lot easier to find stuff and remember which stuff is important. Sometimes the process of organizing it into categories even helps me understand the topic better. Sort of an exercise in getting everything in one place and seeing the 30,000 foot view.

So for example, my most recent one is called "COVID-19 resources". The top-level headings are "Practical Advice" (info on DIY masks, links to charts of symptoms compared to flu and allergies, a video on hand washing technique), "News and Info" (the John Hopkins map, other maps, graphs and charts, links to online discussion forums, CDC and WHO articles, wikipedia articles), and "Local Info" (state and local government status and announcement, health department twitter account, local guide to restaurants with takeout), and "Volunteer Info" (opportunities to help).

Come to think of it, I really need to add a section called "Science and Research". I've run across several interesting papers and articles about the disease, and I keep digging to re-find these links when I want to refer to it again. They belong in this document.

Anyway, hopefully at some point COVID-19 won't be front of mind for all of us, and I will stop opening this document every day to check the latest stats. But I'll still have the doc if I want to refer to it.
Still looks complicated
I grew up in suburban America and 100% agree with the author's take. It was certainly comfy but I found it unbearably bland, boring and suffocating.
That’s kind of my point....
If you built with brick that would be against code and you’d be incredibly likely to die if there is an earthquake.

Additionally, Americans are fairly fond of tearing down existing structures to rebuild which is harder to do with brick.

Thirdly, wood is an abundant resource in the US.
Yeah and their new curated app store makes it impossible for people to find anything that they're not promoting. I have a health app and it takes me 5-10 minutes to find the health and fitness section now to see what the top apps are.
Presumably the farmers are already selling for canning and frozen vegetables to the degree they can. They are not set up to do it themselves at industrial scale. (And, despite mostly panicked buying of canned goods because it probably seemed like the thing to do, most vegetables--outside of tomato products--are bought fresh or frozen, rather than canned, today.)

I guess it's because so many people are fixated on stuff that will keep either on the shelf or in a freezer, but the fresh produce section is far and away the area of my local grocery store that looks most normal.
Comments in code are almost always an indication of poor naming choices. I don't get it either.

> So should Amazon not be allowed to host the third party marketplace?

People should be able to run their own distribution. It's the Internet and it's a simple problem. Companies need to stop dipping their fingers in the pie and offering little in recompense.

> Should the console makers not be allowed to have their own store?

There are three major gaming consoles, PC, mobile, self-distribution... lots of platforms with which to gain distribution. There are libraries and frameworks that let you write the game once and publish it to all platforms.

Gaming is a small sector compared to everything we run on our phones. Movies, finance, communication, dating. Apple and Google tax all of the commerce happening there. I'd much rather give that money to the government instead of helping these two build a deeper moat.

> Should physical retail not be allowed to sell their own in house brands?

They do this at a loss to aid negotiations for pricing and ensuring they get enough stock. It's complicated.

Ask HN: Are 3rd party browsers banned by Apple App Store Guidelines?
The guidelines say

Apple's current say

> ### 4.7 HTML5 Games, Bots, etc.
>
> Apps may contain or run code that is not embedded in the binary (e.g. HTML5-based games, bots, etc.), as long as code distribution isn’t the main purpose of the app, the code is not offered in a store or store-like interface, and provided that the software (1) is free or purchased using in-app purchase; (2) only uses capabilities available in a standard WebKit view (e.g. it must open and run natively in Safari without modifications or additional software); your app must use WebKit and JavaScript Core to run third-party software and should not attempt to extend or expose native platform APIs to third-party software; (3) is offered by developers that have joined the Apple Developer Program and signed the Apple Developer Program License Agreement; (4) does not provide access to real money gaming, lotteries, or charitable donations; (5) adheres to the terms of these App Review Guidelines (e.g. does not include objectionable content); and (6) does not offer digital goods or services for sale. Upon request, you must provide an index of software and metadata available in your app. It must include Apple Developer Program Team IDs for the providers of the software along with a URL which App Review can use to confirm that the software complies with the requirements above.

That sounds like all 3rd party browsers are banned. Breaking it down

> Apps may contain or run code that is not embedded in the binary

> ... provided that the software ...

> (3) is offered by developers that have joined the Apple Developer Program and signed the Apple Developer Program License Agreement

Which means downloading random webpages that run software from users and sites that are not in Apple's Developer Programs is against that rules.

That would mean all 3rd party browsers are banned. What am I missing?

> The shale oil in the ground is a perfectly good stockpile as is.

I think the point people are trying to make is that it's quite a bit less expensive to buy crude and store it right now than to extract it from shale in the future.
Help Fight the Virus: Devs, Designers, Marketers, Businesspeople
I am wondering how many people are interested in helping organize to fight the virus? It seems governments, hospitals, bureaucracies, and people are struggling to put together an organized response. Everyone is hoarding supplies for themselves many times where they are not needed, and there are many places where people are dying unnecessarily for lack of supplies and equipment and doctors that are available nearby.

I have kept hoping that someone would step up and do something, but it just seems that nothing happens and I keep reading news stories about hospitals desperate for doctors and doctors in other cities willing to help, but not having any way to connect with each other. I finally realized that if we want to see an improved response, we just need to do it ourselves.

My hope is to quickly build and launch a site (perhaps call it holdonhelpisontheway.com) that can help organize everyone. My thought is we build a system for everyone to share resources where they are needed most and help rapidly shift as needed. For example, if there are 30 doctors not needed immediately in one city and another city needs those doctors, we could connect the doctors to hospitals and arrange logistics like where they stay and getting them fed and paid and such. Basically, organize logistics and make it easy to save a lot more lives.

I founded and built a 180 FTE web dev agency and believe this site could be up and launched within a day. I am willing to dedicate my own personal funds and my staff to work on this, but can't do it alone.

For this to work though, we need designers, sys admins, and developers to help build and maintain the site. We need marketers to get the word out. We need lawyers to help set up a nonprofit and collect funds. We need project managers to organize the distribution and talk to those who sign up. We need salespeople to help cold call and bring in hospitals and government agencies.

I am willing to work around the clock on this and take no pay, and dedicate my own funds and employees to this. But I can't do it alone. If you are interested, please comment below and let me know. Please also email me at joel@coalitiontechnologies.com.
The closure of big distributors such as restaurants means that big orders get cancelled. These cancelations cause a glut at the point of production.

However, the article fails to mention the role that agricultural subsidies play in the oversupply. Regarding dairy in particular, consider:

> "... in 2015, the support granted to U.S dairy producers represented approximately C$35.02/hectolitre - the equivalent of 73% of the farmers' marketplace revenue. USDA data also reveals that US dairy farmers operate at a loss, and have a cost of production that is higher than what they earn from the marketplace."

This has been happening for decades, leading to artificially suppressed food prices and market distortions across many categories.

Gyms are now closed. The thing about suburbs is that you can be anywhere anytime, thanks to your car and garage space to store bicycles and various recreational things. If I lived in the city, I'd likely have neither and would be bound to my city block (parking isn't cheap there).
There are probably UI patterns that could help balance the technical challenges bandwidth with the utility of high resolution images. Wikipedia for instance defaults to low resolution images but in 1-2 clicks you can access a high resolution view.
This restricts the need to serve high resolution images to only the people who really do care about it.

No. There are countries which do test all that could possibly be infected (e.g. if they were in contact with the person who was tested positive). Even then, those that are positive are the small percentages from all tested, but it‘s still that 20% from positives need the hospital.

I don't use VS Code, but I like that there's experimentation in this space -- every X minutes, do something to the UI to remind you to take a break.

I currently use Time Out on Mac and every X minutes it slowly greys out the entire screen. The hardest scenario is if I'm in "the zone" and super focused on fixing a bug, etc. and the notification pops up. I end up feeling antagonistic towards the break reminder.

This looks like it's a good balance.

The big advantage of a library like React is that you can specify your UI declaratively once, instead of having to specify imperatively how to handle every possible state transition. This can dramatically reduce the number of different rendering cases you have to write if you have a lot of state to manage.

All the virtual DOM stuff is just an implementation detail that makes the declarative stuff fast enough to use in production. A more naive implementation that rebuilt your entire (real) DOM on every state change would not be fast enough for anything but the most simple applications, because DOM updates in browsers are currently a relatively slow operation.

Browsers could provide an API to more efficiently update large sections of the DOM at once, using a React-style diff algorithm or otherwise, but currently that isn't a feature they offer. If they did, you'd be correct that there would be less need for libraries like React.
I'm considering buying a license of confluence for small teams and run it at home.
