In Marx's own time, he was one of the main people who split the workers movement between his own ideas (his form of Communism) and the anarchist ideas of Bakunin or of Proudhon. People saw the authoritarian prospects of his work in his own time. They all want the same thing - a world without hierarchy. Though it's a great irony that one method relies on hierarchies to try to achieve a "stateless, classless society"

Maybe that term "Dictatorship of the Proletariat" was a mistake. Stalin and Mao were proletarians, after all...
The company I work for already is fully remote, but I heard from a colleague that their company, which was previously hesitant towards remote work, has seen a productivity increase after having been forced to do remote, and now plans to allow 100% remote work after lockdowns are lifted.

Porn really is the driver of many technical innovations. Home movies and online financial transactions, for example, wouldn't be where they are today if people weren't so dedicated to watching other people smush.
I agree with your post, and I've marveled at various perceived hypocrisies on both sides. I acknowledge that in some cases there is no actual hypocrisy, just nuanced views that don't fit a simple mold.
But I also believe that partisanship for the sake of partisanship is more important to many people on both sides than any kind of deeper ideological consistency or integrity.
No. The regulators aren't going to do anything about a hospital that doesn't have enough staff these days. There's no downside for a hospital to fire someone for speaking up, but letting them get away with speaking up is asking for malpractice suits.
BTW, soap is exactly what I meant by "almost" unique.

You mean, a bidet? Long-term, seems like an interesting idea. Short-term, filling a cart with TP during an unavoidable (because of food delivery collapse) visit to the store seems like a less dangerous idea than inviting a plumber.
Holy moly you weren't kidding, they're nearly $6K USD apiece. Does anyone's SDR kit drive these?

Lisp conditions seem to take quite a lot from PL/I conditions.
I mentioned the temp because you said san palo has high of 27C. 27C is like night time temp in my home town for this season. So yeah its not a high temp. Porto Alegre high seems to be around 29. We have high in terms of 32/34 etc. Ahmedabad has high like 38plus which is very hot even for us southern guys.

I have no idea if temp makes a difference of not. Number of tests are very low to determine that.

And one more thing not all people live in slums in India. India is too big and varied. Visiting Mumbai slums does not mean we are filled with it.
A large number of the remaining 56% are classified as "essential": grocery and certain retail, public servants and first responders, healthcare, education, automotive services, etc. In Houston, for example, many of the energy sector jobs are classified as essential. Stay at home orders don't impact those jobs (though many of them may be operating at partial capacity)

newline (formerly Fullstack.io) | Book author | Remote | Part Time | https://www.newline.co/write-a-book Earn on order of $50k/year by writing a programming book. We’re the authors of Fullstack React, ng-book, Fullstack Vue and we’re looking to work with authors like you to write a few new books this year. Our books sell very well because: - We go way beyond API docs and teach everything you need to know to build real apps. - We guarantee the books and code are up to date. - We invest in marketing the books (and have an active email list of over 100k)
- We love the topics we write about and aim to create something remarkable every time.

If you decided to self-publish, you may find the marketing is more than writing the book. We have an audience, and we know what they want to read - so when your book is done, we already have people who want to buy it.

If you decide to go with a “traditional” publisher, you may be given a mediocre editor, write your book in MS Word (ha), and earn 5-15% in royalties. With us, our editors (me) are programmers first, our tooling is dev-friendly, and our royalties are split 50/50. (For scale, the author of Fullstack Vue earned $20k on the opening weekend, Fullstack D3 even more.)

We’re looking to write content about JavaScript, Building Full-stack web apps, AWS, DevOps, Angular, React, ASP.NET Core, Serverless, Python, Elixir, Data Science etc. Anything up and coming.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, fill out the form linked below. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Testimonial from a team member: “Long story, but I worked there for maybe 6ish months part time a while back. They offered me full time, but I ended up going to a startup because I wanted to learn some specific technologies + up my skills in Data Science. That job was definitely good for some people, but it wasn’t as remote as they advertised it (had me fly in alot), and the team was somewhat difficult to work with ;) I ended up starting my own consulting and at the same time CourtDrive reached back out to me (perfect timing). Point I was trying to make was that I went back to work with them because they were so nice to work with. Not super demanding and very open to listening to ideas/suggestions - just a pleasant environment.”

I'm from the Netherlands (born and raised) and have received several robocalls, until I registered my phone number on the bel-me-niet.nl web site.

Since then, I only get such calls from companies that got my details in exchange for some freebie. I tell them I'm not interested, and would they please stop calling me, and they do.

The only calls I got recently were in English with a heavy Indian accent, "Ilse Smid" or another stereotypically Dutch name, claiming to be from Microsoft Windows, and that my computer had alerted them that it had a virus... These scam calls all came from nonexistent Dutch phone numbers.
Resource managing is not a problem with state machines. Quite the opposite: you should acquire/free resources in well defined states of the machine (typically the different entry/exit points).

Generators are great for tasks that fit well but in the general case state machines are more powerful and easier to debug.

I agree that if your state machine starts evolving without control then it will be a mess (like any design).

Surely you'd agree that's not the fault of the information as much as leaving small children in reach of poisonous objects without teaching them that they shouldn't consume them, wouldn't you? The article notes that it was already a problem before the meme started, and the amount of consumption caused by the internet meme (18 cases; no deaths noted out of those) is still minuscule.

Of course, you can highlight exceptions.

But, the growing availability/awareness/popularity of such DNS-driven solutions should incrementally increase the likelihood that firms like Reddit choose to segregate/label their sections by IP address.

Hi,

I hope you and your family are staying healthy. I am reaching out on behalf of LogN (https://www.logn.co/) as I saw on News.YC that your company is looking for software engineers.

We provide contract engineers in Central America (timezone: PST+1, EST-2). Three of our engineers are available to start a new engagement as soon as April 1st. They just rolled off of another long term project for a company that is funded by Benchmark Capital. Here are their resumes. (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1A4nHUDWcHr9F4fVxYC0b...)

They have also worked with several US-based startups and big enterprises. Please let us know if any of them is a good fit for your needs and we can help schedule a zoom interview with them. You can find more information about our services here. (https://www.dropbox.com/s/pu7f2o3x2yvi8vn/LogN-Services.pdf?...)

On my current team, we would all WFH on Thursdays and Fridays as a norm. At the beginning of the month, we were told that we should WFH indefinitely because of COVID-19.

I've got a great office setup and am used to working from home, sometimes for a week or two at a time, depending on circumstances, but WFH during COVID-19 feels like something else entirely.

I don't even have kids to take care of, but some combination of 1) having my wife home during the day, 2) the feeling of being cooped up (even though I get outside time walking my dog in my suburban neighborhood), and 3) the foreboding feeling of existential dread taking a toll on my mental health has cut my productivity in half.
Scaling Pandas with Spark+Koalas
My first two weeks working from home: unbelievably productive. Best two weeks since I first started in this role.

The last four weeks: terrible. My "home office" used to be my hobby zone, with all my books and other things I tinker with to "zone out" after work. I hate coming in here now. I'm always getting pings, late in the evening, as everyone else is always in front of their screens too. Some of this is the nature of the work from home situation (during a pandemic) and other things are disrupted (schools) that wouldn't be in a different mass work from home scenario.
I think the idea is a little rough around the edges but it has good bones. I think a better name might be something like "procedural HTML" since I think you're envisioning something like

add paragraph "content"
push division
add image
add attr src "https://..."
add attr alt "cute cat"
add paragraph "more content"
pop division
...

But obviously with much terser syntax. Everyone seems to be on the declarative train these days that it's nice to see some interesting procedural work.

Such a thing composes pretty nicely too since basically any sequence of statements grouped together can be used as a component.
Not OP but I can say that on Windows it may require a lot of fiddling. Hardware drivers appear to be a big factor.

Another concern is the many overlays that accompany game launchers and drivers, including: Nvidia, Steam, GOG, etc. These add latency and sometimes private notifications.
Actually you're peddling bad logic, comparing apples and oranges.

Road deaths involve humans undertaking an action (driving) for a particular benefit (transport) that involves risk (accidents).

You cannot compare driving to the 'covid-19 epidemic', because driving is an action, and the covid 19 epidemic is not. You can't compare the epidemic to driving. You must compare action to action.

A more apt comparison is that humans go out of their home (the action) to work and be productive (the benefit) while understanding they may catch disease when with other humans (the risk).

You are not forced to leave your house against your will -- that is slavery, and is illegal. Anyone can stay home. Leaving your home has the benefit of both enriching you and your neighbor, and collectively, the country. Thus it is a very apt comparison.

The fact of the matter is we don't close roads because we judge them too important to merit doing so, and we decide to accept the risk (deaths). We have decided now against leaving homes because some states judge it too dangerous to do so and is unwilling to accept the risk (deaths), but that is not constant, and will likely change quite fast. I would not be surprised if many of those who called for a lockdown, start calling for it to end quite soon. Most people are only principled up until it starts actually affecting them.
This filter does not block sites encouraging self-harm. This filter blocks adult sites. My claim was that the filter only blocks things that are less harmful than what I listed. I don't think that's untrue, and stand by what I said.

It is literally impossible to block all sites containing an idea via DNS filtering. It's substantially more plausible to block 'icky' sites. It's noted elsewhere in this thread that the filter doesn't block Facebook (which has many communities encouraging self-harm) nor reddit (which has countless communities that do so).

The harms that the above poster cites (pro-ana & pro-suicide sites) are not and cannot be censored via use of a DNS filter.
Why Do Computers Use So Much Energy? (Article)
This article grossly exaggerates the study that it cites. The Stanford study of 16,000 people showing increased productivity for those WFH studies a unique population of:

1) Call center workers

2) Who volunteered to work from home

Are you a call center worker who wants to work from home? Great, this study is pretty good evidence that on average you will be more productive.

Otherwise, take it for what it is. The data here may or may not apply to you, but it's a big stretch to make the bold general claim that this study proves that "remote workers are more productive than employees who work in the office," as this article suggests.
Can you explain what you mean a little more?
That is the long term plan. In the meantime we also have intentions of making rustc interpret what you want even when the grammar would require the disambiguation so that it can provide the appropriate suggestion in that case.

> it opens the door to the idea that we are all facets of the same thing.

> What is 'we' to us (and whatever other life is out in space) could be 'me' to the universe

> That's how I choose to interpret the infinite, and it brings me comfort because it lets me see death as a change in perspective rather than a finality. It also helps me practice empathy, by not seeing much difference between what I feel and what others feel.

I'm 100% with you on this. I've largely gotten there through introspection and "logical" thinking, but I'd love some more formal structure (or for some definition of formal). Any suggestions on other philosophers to read on this subject?

I think a lot of the desire for immortality comes from the understandable (and totally human) fear of the unknown / death. But if you change your perspective - that "me" is only "me" relative to, well, me -- and that if you go up a level in abstraction (look at all of humanity or, really, all of consciousness), you realize that any one "me" doesn't really matter all that much -- and that someone else experiencing consciousness is just as valid and relevant as your own experience of consciousness -- and that from that slightly higher level perspective, there's a LOT of consciousness happening, and it's all valid and relevant and interesting (and will continue for a LONG time!)

Just because your one perspective may disappear in N years doesn't mean there isn't a lot of other experience that will still be happening, and that, to your point, death is only a change in perspective.
"Conceal" implies intent--while I do not believe the Chinese numbers I do not think it's malicious, but rather an overwhelmed system. We are seeing the same thing everywhere the system is getting hit hard enough--patients are dying without ever being tested, and they're only testing the people at the hospital, thus missing most all the mild cases.

The only places I would trust the numbers are South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Israel.
Not really. Suddenly, .dev is a real TLD instead of a fictional one we use for local hostnames.
How do they generate business then, if not cold outreach? I don't mean it as a gotcha, I'm genuinely curious. I suppose you could say inbound leads, but I don't really believe that's a significant % of revenue, and anyways HN seems to hate marketing.

The gun analogy doesn't really work man, having salespeople isn't really predicated on what other companies are doing or not doing
Aron explodes the three "myths" of radical thought: the Left, the Revolution, and the Proletariat. Each of these ideas, Aron shows, are ideological, mystifying rather than illuminating. He also provides a fascinating sociology of intellectual life and a powerful critique of historical determinism in the classically restrained prose for which he is justly famous.
From the original blog post announcing Warp, I would have thought "yes, Warp is a VPN service" was the right answer:

https://blog.cloudflare.com/1111-warp-better-vpn/

My understanding of that blog post is:

* 1.1.1.1 is Cloudflare's DNS resolver.

* Warp is a free VPN service, using the Wireguard protocol, with the exit at your nearest Cloudflare data center.

* Warp+ is a $5/mo. paid tier of the VPN service, with the exit at the Cloudflare data center nearest your destination, which ought to be faster.

* All of these are enabled on mobile via the app called "1.1.1.1".

I don't think "Warp is a set of apps that will set your phone to use 1.1.1.1 for resolving your DNS" is right -- but I could be misunderstanding either the product or Steve's summary ...
New 4.0 LTS Releases for LXD, LXC and Lxcfs
I feel that transparency would be key, to understand what cloudflare considers good/bad.

As we can see in this thread, there's already been a mistaken block - expect many, many more of these to come.

They will be chasing their tail between their legs for years to come, and they'll only get bad PR from this.

It'll be dead and buried in a year after a shit storm hits reddit

Versatile software engineer with extensive experience working directly with creatives and in creative environments. Much of this experience is in building web solutions as a full stack developer. As such, I have learned to gladly dive into any technology if it's what's needed for the job at hand.

I'm equally comfortable working solo or with a team and I am interested in expanding my leadership experience.

My ideal next role would be a high impact position in a small organization, preferably related to a social/common good initiative. I would be interested in/capable of web, native mobile, and interactive/immersive display/experience development. However, I am always looking for new/different ways to apply my skills, so feel free to contact me about roles outside of those disciplines.
