> Real news died when reporters stopped having to craft a story

Or stopped fact-checking--you know, doing your homework. Real journalists used to interview one person at a time, ask them direct questions, call them on their bullshit, and fact check them in real-time. Nowadays what passes as journalism is to put two people from different "sides" on at the same time and watch them fling crap at each other. Or put two people from the same "side" on to have them take turns ripping someone else to shreds.

Frankly, it's disgusting. I have literally felt myself close to vomiting while watching TV these days. The fact the people on TV new wears suits and business attire is the worst irony; all they do is fling mudwrestling now. Just another one of the present debasement of all things past good and wholesome.

Got it now. Getting a copy of incoming + outgoing via BCC for an individual account's emails is not quite the same as accessing individual account's emails though.

For GSuite basic subscriptions, there is a 30GB quota per inbox, having BCCs for every account's emails will like exceed the plan allowance. I doubt it would work if you exceed the account quota allowed for the subscription plan.
Nice!

A few years ago a coworker wrote a similar thing (https://github.com/queeno/aptlify).

Unfortunately it seems to be abandoned at this point, so I do hope your project gets the tracktion it needs!
The problem is that many people downvote because they disagree, rather than as a reflection on the quality of the comment.
I took a communication class many years ago and this was the main thing I took away from it. If you give a reason or an excuse the other person will try to help you "solve" it. If you give a simple "no, sorry" or "no, thanks" there's nothing for them to latch onto or argue with.

Realize that the other person is free to ask anything they want, but just the act of them asking doesn't create any obligation on your part. Especially with people where you don't have a longstanding relationship, you don't owe anyone anything more than a polite no.

The other piece I learned was this useful phrase to deploy when under severe pressure to give a reason and for whatever reason you can't just disengage or leave: "Sorry, I'm just not comfortable with that". No one can reasonably argue with that, and if they do, having already given your reason you can then simply fall back into a loop of "No, sorry."
Should be easy to do if it's as equivalent as you're assuming, no?
No, journalists and politicians are misrepresenting what the IPCC says. The IPCC are not alarmists, and they aren't predicting "The world is going to end in 12 years."

The actual report is far more balanced. Yes, they are predicting some negative consequences, alongside potential benefits and measures for adapation and mitigation.

In my understanding SRE is more related to "keep the lights on and systems running", it might be just a different understanding of the nomenclature.

E.g: In my current case the software teams own their ops, my team doesn't ops for them.

We give them a platform of centralized logging, monitoring and etc. so that they can easily ops their services but is not my phone that rings and I am not on call. I am on call if some component of the platform itself fails.

At least my perception of SRE is that they're on call for products.

That said I would frame the work we do as “a software engineer focused on operational integration“.

That does sound like a good book and I will add to my to read list.
> no matter what anyone says, DevOps was objectively born of replacing the operations discipline and career track with a poorly-understood tool economy and ongoing opex to a cloud provider

This isn't the origin of DevOps.
Unless both partners are thrilled with the idea of logging their chore completion timestamps on a spreadsheet (or weigh this against the cost of resentment one will feel of the other person, as the author suggests), I think it's going to lead to resentment.

It's like clocking in at work. Who the hell _wants_ to do that?
I think the responses of "Well, it doesn't astonish me" and "principle least my surprise" point to something deep about how to write code for other humans:

As a field, we would benefit greatly from learning more cognitive science.

A core suggestion of John Osterhout's book A Philosophy of Software Design is to have well-named modules with 'thin' interfaces which accomplish a reasonably-deep set of responsibilities. But...why?

Working Memory -- Humans have limited Working Memory.

If you give a function:

- A clear name.

- Few simple parameters.

- No side-effects not in the name.

- No GOTOs or exceptions.

then a human can glance at it, put the name and parameters into working memory, and carry on.

But if you split up a namable responsibility across multiple files, then a human reading the codebase to understand data flow would need many more open editor windows or to hold much more info in working memory.

It is fine. You need to educate yourself more on how companies like Factual get their hands on location data. If you think Facebook flouted privacy rules, you haven't seen anything yet.
It's true, but compared to its seventh-gen contemporaries (the 360 and PS3), it sold about 15m more than either.

(The Wii U, on the other hand, sold abysmally.)
Google keep. It turns everything into an action.
Don't have time for it? Set a reminder and archive it.
Done with it? Archive it. Give it tag for searchability if it's important.

No. Docker volumes aka bind mounts have little or no overhead. You don't want to run a database in an ephemeral "cattle" container without some kind of HA because you'd lose data.

As I read through I thought, as an audience member, I would not like this approach and other tools (e.g. Zoom) allow feeds of both the presenter and their slides/screen. I frequently flip back and forth depending on the context. I often like a printed slide deck to write notes on during a talk, but for virtual talks, screenshots allow me to capture a slide I might want to come back to.
The video snippet you linked is from January. You can tell because it talks about the upcoming Iowa caucus.

This is approximately the time that the first patient tested positive in the U.S. The video that OP references goes into February and March, so I don't think these are equivalent.
I'm ideologically opposed to political conservativism, but I sympathize with you. Regarding ideological bias, CNN is worse than Fox, but in left leaning communities Fox is demonized while CNN gets a pass. Hivemind mentalities are frustrating regardless of which group engages in it.
TL;DR create a complex agile-esque process for doing chores with timestamps instead of just setting a calendar reminder or doing it ad-hoc.
It's great to add relevant information, but in the future, could you please do it in a way that greets and expands on what you're replying to, rather than one-upping or putting it down? The two styles of responding have opposite effects on discussion: one opens it up for further exploration, while the second constricts it or closes it. In improv, that is called "blocking": https://improwiki.com/en/wiki/improv/blocking. You probably didn't mean it that way, but intent doesn't communicate itself. Since a comment's impact on future discussion is determined by how others hear it, the burden is on the commenter to disambiguate [1].

The value of an HN comment is its impact on current and future discussion, or (to put it in a pseudo-technical way) the expected value of the subthread it forms the root of [2]. I've been struggling for a way to explain this that doesn't sound smarmy (like "be nice" or "tone"), since it's not about being nice. It's about what leads to richer improvisation and curious conversation, which is what we're trying to optimize for here [3].

Edit: elsewhere in this thread are some great examples of opening-up responses:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22798780 ("even more interesting...")

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22798746 ("I once...")

I do want to wade into the details, so I'd put it more that I need to try many things, and by necessity I have to be a user before I can become an expert.

I know a good deal about how Docker works from having hammered at it. I'm not remotely an expert in it yet, but as I go I'm learning more details about cgroups and namespaces, and this is stuff I've been able to fit in while solving problems.
This has been on HN a fair bit over the past couple of days.

Another thing to consider is that if they get a letter from a lawyer, they may just pay up. I'd start there and see what happens.

Exactly this. Acquirer doesn't want a lengthy case either. A lawyer will guide you to start with a demand for the full amount, else a suit will be filed.
The Acquirer will probably counter with an offer and you guys can start a negotiation to end it quickly.

I am not a lawyer and this is not official legal advice.
If you think politicians and journalists are bad wait until you see what the experts are saying.

I think it is more because containers should be stateless and you cannot make a database stateless.

We do run databases that do 100k`s ops/s in containers but we don't run them in kubernetes. We just mount the VM hard drive in it.

You can do double blind studies until your patients are literally blue in the face, or you can try what works now. That is literally the choice at the moment.

According to Peter Navarro, a good percentage of NYC patients are getting HCQ at the onset of symptoms now. Cuomo wants more of it, because it "appears to be working". Oklahoma is giving it to patients, too (https://www.news9.com/story/41972631/state-secures-possible-...), as does LA (https://twitter.com/ABC7/status/1246998628331163649). Italy saw its numbers of deaths stabilize once they started giving it. Marseille (where Raoult's hospital is) has the lowest fatality rate in all of France. If it works, we should see the recoveries shoot up in 5-7 days.

HCQ is also available _over the counter_ in some countries, and is given out like candy all over Africa where there's risk of malaria.
Limited supply is the disease, AirBnB is a symptom. AirBnB is popular in major cities exactly because real estate is so expensive.
>The decades old battle in theoretical physics over bragging rights between the "string" and "loop" camps would seem to be an even more significant example within the hard sciences of a collaborative intra-promotion rivalry given the apparent failure of both groups to produce a quantum theory of gravity.

In string theory we quantize gravity by attaching voodoo parameters to particles, and manipulating those parameters so that they forbid the gravitational ultraviolet catastrophe. In LQG or NQFT we attach voodoo parameters to spacetime, forbidding tiny singularities. We can also attach voodoo parameters to gravity itself and get the theory of asymptotically safe gravity. I think that would be four theories. Anyone who finds better-justified voodoo parameters should be welcomed into the ring, but that is very difficult.

Personally I find the voodoo parameters in NQFT to be the least weird, but Connes (a leading proponent) earned some raspberries for his oh-wait-I-didn't-mean-that revision of his prediction of the Higgs mass ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/1208.1030.pdf ).
This is the difference between delivery being your primary focus versus secondary focus.
I design board games for fun and unrealistic dreams of making entire hundreds of dollars. But the part I suck at is making art and iconography. So I'm spending some time learning how to drive GIMP and Inkscape. Just this week I have completely finished the game I've been working on for six months now: http://www.drtomallen.com/half-the-battle.html (unfortunately the manufacturer is in lock-down, so the only option to play it is to print your own...)

I'm still awful at it, but I can now manipulate art from other sources fairly comfortably. And I'm at a point where I can make geometric types of shapes and patterns easily enough from scratch. It's already enough that I look at logos and things differently now, to see how I would go about building them in these tools.

Unfortunately, I still dislike this aspect of game design compared to the fun of lying in a hammock and run thought experiments on the actual gameplay systems!

They enrolled people "in excellent general health" intending to observe Ramadan and did the fasting over Ramadan. I didn't read the whole study but I don't see the evidence that subjects had a disrupted circadian clock to beign with. It is certainly not a study of circadian disorders and as far as I know there is no evidence that adjusting eating affects sleep, however it makes sense that the timing of eating affects things related to energy and metabolism and that those relate to many of the issues with circadian disruption. I had not heard of proteomics before and don't know how well validated that analysis is or how these results compare to other methods of fasting.
Amazon is the only shop selling the most convenience. At least Walmart and Target have online order and parking spots to pick up your orders from, but I can only imagine a lot of old brick and mortar type of stores are way behind the times. Just some stories on here are horror story level examples of the night and day kind of service you can get in regards to buyer convenience.
The current president is literally both a Democrat and a Republican.

The OP article was written in 2011. Not long before, maybe as recent as 2000, there was a lot more so called "civility" in government, where most of the debate was pork barrel negotiations, not major party line votes on major legal upheavals.

R and D worked together on things like handing ever more power to corporations and the military industrial complex, and diverting national wealth to the weathiest people.
I've always found the mutual knowledge vs common knowledge dichotomy to be a good way to conceptualize this distinction between kayfabe and propaganda (although it is not strictly speaking the perfect analogy here, it does offer some insight). The famous blue-eyed islanders puzzle is a great illustration of the concept (and perhaps something to occupy one's time with in quarantine).
The CDC's figure is "flu or pneumonia" (non-exclusive). The majority of the moralities included in it do not have influenza.
For me, it shows a short list of phone number endings, and you have to pick the right one. It's far from perfect, but it doesn't just let me enter any number I want.
Who is "we"? Actual scientists say the opposite: most numbers are meaningless and misleading, because we don't know, how wide the virus has spread. Are you that lazy-minded to not even try to check the links that I have provided?

DoorDash gets to try a few cases with this company to see if they like the results. That couldn't possibly create a conflict of interest.
This would absolutely be of value. I was wishing for something like it just the other day. IDE's aren't the place to keep doc and there is no good tool which, as you said, ties the doc to the actual code it represents.

I would absolutely pay for a tool like that.
The fact that you can buy the drug over the counter doesn't mean it's universally safe. The people being hospitalized here are already doing poorly so exposing them to additional risk is not something you should just do on a whim. As the linked post mentions, there are clear signs of potential risks associated with the use of HCQ. I hope for the patients being dosed with it now that it both works and is safe, but it's incredibly reckless to go 'it's over the counter so it's fine'. A healthy person taking a reasonable dose as a malaria countermeasure is not the same as a person on a ventilator in the ICU. Their immune system is in a different condition, so is their heart.
Trying to retroactively excoriate people for under reacting to a crisis is a little unfair. Nobody knew how this would play out, and going off half-cocked at every threat that appears, and there are a lot of them, is destructive.

Nobody likes to be wrong, and people always try to rewrite history so they were right all along. Rush Limbaugh made hay by hanging democrats with clips of their previous statements, and Jon Stewart made hay by doing the same thing to republicans.
ModernGL – Modern OpenGL binding for Python
Does anyone have resources related to learning concurrency ?

I've had a very short introduction to pthreads in a CS class, but it was too succinct to get any practical benefit IMO. Knowing that a mutex can be used to limit access to a shared variable is easy enough to understand.
How to structure software that runs concurrent tasks is still a mystery to me. Code I've written that uses threads appears to work but I'm not confident I haven't introduced a deadlock in there that's just waiting the worst possible timing to trigger. For instance, the pthreads manpage does a good job at listing the available functions. I have no idea when they should be used though.

If anyone can point me to learning resources around concurrency (books, presentations, talks, sample open source software that does good use of concurrency patterns, ... anything goes, really) I will be eternally grateful.
This exactly matches my experience. I run a prototyping shop in the LA area. I get items the very same day from McMaster. That kind of feedback loop is priceless. They ship with DGC for most deliveries, and DGC is usually cost-competitive with any other service.
Substantial numbers of C19 patients are being given HCQ in C19 trials, but more than that, substantial numbers of newly-diagnosed C19 patients are already taking HCQ, since it's part of the standard of care for widespread conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. And those patients will of course have had the HCQ intervention before acquiring C19, not late in the course of their illness. It doesn't look like anyone is reporting unusual clinical success for those patients, while you can find clinical reports of QT disturbances (so: people are paying attention to this stuff).

Even within SF. Having talked with a bunch of folks from Amazon and Netflix they're far from having most of their workflows running in containers... imagine is the same for google.
This sort of speculation is not helpful in any way. We are where we are, and it is counterproductive while so many unknowns remain to finger-point and fuel conspiracy theories; Zerohedge has been doing this one to death for more than a month.

This is kinda the deep down reason I still use it. I sort of passively compete with the friends that use it, especially when I'm traveling, since I get to check into a ton of new stuff. The list of friends that use it is _very_ static. It's been the same group for _years_ now, w/o a single new person (and I don't think anyone's dropped). We're not close friends either. All in all, it's a fascinating experience in that regard.

I feel as though this concept specifically isn't novel. Some would argue this situation could be applicable to the cold war--perhaps the soviet union didn't prop the United States up, but it certainly allowed us to foster and strengthen our sense of nationalism, which typically leads to a more robust state.
