This is probably a much larger and not very relevant to the topic here discussion but I feel a lot of the newer breed of languages don't emphasise IDE tooling very much (not in the sense of Visual Studio / Eclipse and the like at least; VS Code gets a lot of attention though). So I fear if that's an expectation from a certain group of devs that this might already be a generational difference that's impossible to overcome.

That being said, I agree -- existing teams can't be expected to just run away to the new thing, that much is true.
Should understand why the hospitals are worried about this kind of comments.

Are they afraid of lawsuits? These kind of statements could look bad in the court. You go to hospital for some standard procedure, then get covid, then sue the hospital for not taking proper precautions.
Calling out a major security flaw would make sense. Calling out clickbait security flaws like 32 bit password truncation in the context of a global pandemic is ridiculous. Zoom will fix things, but there is no better platform to host large, interactive events than zoom.
>Remote workers don’t sleep until noon, wear pajamas all day, and slack off because no one’s watching. Studies suggest the opposite: remote workers are more productive than employees who work in the office.

Speak for yourself, I do wear my PJs all day, especially now when I know I won't really be going out anywhere after work except the grocery store. For some people they need the work costume. For me, I go for maximum comfort and minimal effort when I can get away with it.

I also work in a fairly intense frequent problem solving environment where I'm faced with new problems I haven't seen before on a regular basis, similar to what a lot of creative workers also deal with. When it's at the office and I have strict timelines, we all run around pretending like we can just turn on/off the creativity needed for advanced problem solving but for most people I've spoken to sincerely about it... they're just like me and there's no on/off switch.

At home I have the flexibility of taking on a problem, hitting a hurdle, then taking a relaxing break until aha later a Eureka moment hits and a new strategy emerges. Viola, progress, and my employer wasn't paying for the time I was relaxing, they just get to pay for more productive times and I enjoy the less productive times. Banging your head against problems repeatedly may be required as optics for some management but it just doesn't jive with reality and is very wasteful, for everyone.
Right, there are always tradeoffs. Some engineers think LOC is a measure of productivity but 2 days of architecture discussion could save 100s of hours. At the same time, constant Slack messages and all day meetings create too much overhead. There is no silver bullet. I've always felt it best to have each team run how it runs best and let the team leads handle the synchronization. It is hard to have teams go off and not build the wrong thing even with documentation. Managers have to understand not just the what but also the how and why.

Additionally, some people like me hate working from home. I don't feel part of a team at home. It feels more like a hated chore at the house. I've bought co-working memberships to help separate work life from home life. It helps some people create and maintain healthy balance. Time together in person builds relationships in a way you can't over the phone. This happens today at larger companies that have several "work from office" locations. It creates a very us vs them mentality. People don't get the benefit of the doubt and (bad) assumptions are made.

>Is there a reason to care about it running on XWayland other than being able to say you don't need X at all anymore?

I personally don't on my setup but the reason to do it is so other plugins can make use of EGL extensions. Native Wayland support just comes along with that trivially. Future development on platform-integration extensions is expected to happen in EGL instead of in GLX. For a current example the other PR that does direct KMS capture needs EGL to work, even with the X11 backend.

The mentioned "endemic anti-Americanism" of postwar France was very widespread. It was found among the SFIO and diverse left, of course, for evident reasons. But it was also a component of Gaullism, I think as a chafing at having to play on the team of new postwar Anglo-American order, which replaced the Anglo-French upon the latter's defeat in 1940. France had been shuffled down to maybe 4th or 5th place on the world stage, after the Four Policemen (US, UK, USSR, China). In any event that was a contributor to France's withdrawal from NATO's military command, which happened under de Gaulle.

In technological terms they had a fiercely independent attitude, coupled with strong state control (dirigisme), which led to a fascinating sort of parallel path of technological development. Instead of the military (ARPA) or private initiative (Bell), a lot of innovation came directly from conscious French governmental efforts. France had one of the highest rates of industrial espionage against the US during the Cold War - to the benefit of companies like Bull - but it was overlooked so as to keep them "inside the tent". They also invested heavily into domestic initiatives like Sophia Antipole and Minitel, which operated even into the 2010s.
I remember a poster illustrating this point. It was essentially the iconic "evolution of man" scenario but for the wheel; the caption was along the lines of "Sometimes It's Necessary".

Khan Academy | Mountain View, CA / Remote US+Canada | Senior Backend or Full-Stack Engineer

https://www.khanacademy.org/careers

A lot more people have become acquainted with Khan Academy over the past couple of weeks as parents and teachers have been looking for resources to help students learn at home. We're a non-profit with a mission of providing a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere. This mission resonates with a lot of folks and we had some attention here on HN this past weekend around Sal's request for donations[1] (and thanks to everyone who donated!)

Right now, we're looking for senior backend (or full-stack) engineers to help us as we iteratively move our backend from Python 2 to Go[2]. Experience with those languages is a bonus, but not a requirement. We definitely believe it when we say "you can learn anything!"

SEEKING WORK - REMOTE

Highly experienced VP of Engineering & Cloud consultant.

Skills:

* Cloud technologies (AWS/Azure/GCP) - From 20K live server installs, to GPU-based infrastructure automation for a MedTech company. I've done my fair share of cloud infrastructure work (Terraform or without).

* Serverless (going heavy on that one)

* Crypto/Blockchain - building Crypto infrastructure (multiple Blockchains), customized libraries and APIs, as well as front-end (MetaMask) solutions.

* NodeJS/Meteor/SailsJS

* Wordpress/CodeIgniter/Yii/Drupal (Components, Hacks, Themes) - less motivated, unless truly cutting edge (or WP VIP projects)

* CI & Unit testing - Jenkins, Mocha & Karma for JS, Toast for PHP, as well as Selenium

* Django (general Python too) - to a lesser extent

Seeking: Challenging projects. Most recently automated GPU-based infrastructure for a MedTech startup, before that worked extensively with Serverless & AWS APIs, building cloud-related prototypes.

Example work: Upon request

Location: EU

I spent around 15 years building web backends in PHP (from your grandma’s herbal cosmetics to a 50 million exit)

All my backends are currently written in haskell, usually with elm on the frontend.

This is largely due to my subjective but, negative experience with dynamic and/or object-oriented languages, and the discovery of abstract data types and their direct connections to logic (i.e. a product type is a logical AND, a sum type is logical OR and a function type is just a logical implication etc.)

I’m still keeping rust in my back-pocket though, for those times when I exhaust the latency guarantees of haskell; but compared to php/python/ruby, haskell is a walkover win.

This does require you to have a decent onboarding plan, but with Elm as the first step it’s trivial to get people hooked on haskell, since its type classes provide an extreme improvement over what Elm provides. And you essentially get the motivation for the fundamental type classes (functor, applicative, monad) for free, since people have been using all the abstractions discretely in Elm, and suddenly get them all connected in a neat package in haskell.

I really hope they keep the prepaid "sim app" for iPhone. Godsend every time I'm in America.
Sure. However I don't think he's promoting security through obscurity so much as figuring out his threat model and risk acceptance. For most businesses and end users who love Zoom, everything else they've tried has failed to do the thing acceptably. Like, they probably are more secure in so far as not enough people can successfully use them, so doing no video conferencing is more secure than doing some video conferencing.

And to be honest, most business stuff is by unencrypted e-mail, so I don't see how a TLS encrypted Video Chat increases their exposure.

Finally, the chance of someone, even zoom, recording and analyzing all the video conferences ever to somehow get important info from a video conference seems pretty low anyway. Unless you're worried about the NSA, and even then, it seems like they'd have a way into WebEx etc also, so even on risk.

At this point, it seems reasonable to go by what works for people. And Zoom works.
55 would make sense if they are using bcrypt. But since it's 32, they're probably not actually securely storing (password hashing) them at all.
Yeah it's an amazing accomplishment from a video engineering perspective but a train wreck from a UI/UX perspective.
Obviously OP meant outside of sandboxed environment.

There might be exploit out there that exit the sandbox, but they are unintended. But here zoom is intentionaly widening an exploit by being reckless. So thanks to zoom we might now expect even more drastic sandboxing in next MacOS release.

Eight Grade has a 15 rating in the UK.

Here's the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) listing for it: https://bbfc.co.uk/releases/eighth-grade-2018

The ratings info says this:

> Language

> There is strong language ('fk'), as well as milder terms (for example, 'dick', 'shit', 'goddamn', 'God', 'Jesus Christ').

> Sex

> There is a scene in which a web search shows a woman explaining a sexual technique, accompanied by strong sex references.

> There is also a scene in which a young teenage girl suffers a panic attack, as well as one in which an older teenage boy tries to pressurise a younger teenage girl into having sex; however, she does not agree to this.

I don't know enough about BBFC to say which of these they place more importance upon.

(Eighth Grade is a very good film btw, and A24 are currently my favourite film production / distribution company).
Should my family try to get a serological Covid19 test?
My wife was at a Montessori training program with someone from China a few weeks before Christmas. Around Christmas, one by one, we all fell pretty sick with flu symptoms. However, the flu tests we had done at the doctor returned negative and they didn't have an answer for what we had. After about a week or so, we were pretty much back to normal.

Since it's becoming clear China has lied about numbers and dates I wonder if we had Covid19. If so, this would predate the first case in the US by weeks.

I don't want to waste any healthcare worker's time. Is it worth it to reach out to a doc with this information?

Fertility would stabilize around replacement rate once life expectancy stabilized too. The number of children in a population would still go down though, as for any one woman's 1,000 year lifetime, there would be two children.

Unless, of course, you mean that people who live to 1,000 would be children (immature) until they reached 180 years of age. I.e., just scale our perception of time along with our life expectancy.

But merely scaling time isn't interesting. People who want to live forever want to live forever as adults.

FYI, the coverage for the 2 networks will remain separate for now and will be gradually merged into a single network over the next few years. T-mobile is offering a $15/month 2GB prepaid plan as part of the sweetener to get regulators to approve the merger and AT&T has followed suit with a competing plan. Dish Network has been earmarked as the future 4th carrier for the USA and will be getting access to spectrum as part of the merger deal.

In my own opinion this merger is a good thing. Sprint holds huge amounts of spectrum but has absolutely failed to create a competitive network with it. It was a misallocation of a precious natural resource.
I'm not sure that police shutting down parties is always authoritarianism. In the present case we have public health authorities issuing very sound and science based banning on large gatherings, done under temporary emergency authority during a declared emergency, all in compliance with established law and long known medical knowledge of epidemic management. These orders are then enforced by police. Is this really then an authoritarian government that operates this way?

It seems to me the authoritarian way would be that the strong man issues an edict which may or may not be legally allowed or based on reason, and then his stooges, which may be the police or military, enforce it in a draconian manner, without regard to what the written law may permit.

Where did I say anything about working overtime? Here's the key quote from the post I was replying to:

"Just show up, do the bare minimum to meet expectations, finish your 8 hour shift and go home and enjoy quality time with your family."

It's possible to opt out of the bullshit conspicuous overwork that a lot of people engage in (although you should be prepared to face consequences for that!), and still do more than the bare minimum during the 40 hours you show up to work. And it may be better _for you_ to do so.
