They aren't incompatible statements. Certainly the parent's experience, devoid of context could easily be seen as evidence in favor of permitting the possession of firearms. But just because they may have benefitted from, or could have benefited from the owning a firearm at one point doesn't mean that they accept the broader societal trade-offs that ubiquitous gun ownership entails.

I hold a number of political convictions at odds with my personal interest, or which could/will hurt me as an individual in the future, as do many around me. But I stand by them because they would bring us closer to nation in-which I'd be happy to live.

I'm firmly on the side of gun ownership. I'd like the NFA to be revised or repealed so as to make it more coherent, and less restrictive.

Nevertheless, I can respect the parent's position, because their experience doesn't make them hypocritical or subtract from their point (though it can be used to) so much as it's a sign of social conscientiousness, and a willingness to potentially put what they believe to be the needs of the whole before the needs of the self.
why would people's hearing be damaged by highly effective ANC? it's more plausible that they would be harmed by a bad implementation where the second signal isn't perfectly out of phase.
I see, thanks. In my day job I develop hardware accurate simulations of a deep learning accelerator. This involves looking at a Spice model, simplifying it into some set of abstractions using Numpy, then accelerating this Numpy code using GPUs. Currently I'm porting a resnet-50 model from Numpy to Pytorch, and the next step is to speed up the Pytorch code (because right now I get ~1 image per second, which is about 10 times better than Numpy). Perhaps I should look into porting the model from Pytorch to TensorRT.
Such a cool idea!
It is very likely that you have customized about:config settings and/or some combination of extensions that cause this. Going to about:config specifically warns you about breakage when you access it.

Try a fresh profile and see if it still happens.
I would use the best tools even if it requires two DBs.
When I have many transcations with many joins but also user documents (maybe from a online editor which is currently still in heave development), I would use two DBs.
I think the OP is referring to the imperative version using recursion as inefficient. It isn't tail-recursive, so the stack will grow to infinity, even though we only need a constant amount of memory (plus the memory to store the list) to calculate the result. Most likely, they will cause the program to crash, when invoked on moderately big input. Most implementations of "reduce" are tail-recursive (and if they're not, that's a bug), so they're more efficient.
Have you checked Kiva.org and related organizations? They are asking for recommendations for small loans now, to help deal with Covid-19.

If you are part of a cluster of a viral infection and you suspect Covid, then look for Anosmia as a symptom.

Anosmia is reported in 30%+ of Covid cases. Flu/cold viruses can cause Anosmia but it obviously isn’t common since you don’t hear about it and it isn’t given in lists expected symptoms.

Within a sample of 10 people that have Covid, you have an expected number of people that would have Anosmia.

https://www1.racgp.org.au/newsgp/clinical/push-to-include-an...

Beware of false information https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2020/04/lost-your... because AFAIK the journalist has incorrect thinking: “flus and colds are a common cause of Anosmia” DOESN’T mean that “Anosmia is a common symptom” (the abstract they reference is poorly written, still poor journalism IMHO).

I would appreciate any references to data showing how uncommon Anosmia is in cold/flu patients (I did look, but didn’t look hard).

> I really like it on Fedora since it means I don't have to enable any 3rd party repos to get DRM working.

I run Linux and Firefox because I like to be in control of my machine. And one of the things I will never allow to run on it is DRM.

I’m still annoyed Firefox has no way to permanently disable all DRM functionality and stop nagging me when sites request it.
I'm no expert, but its a very vague statement.

Certain firearms like short-barrel rifles (SBR), suppressors, calibers > 50, and machine guns require an ATF license. That said - these aren't hard to come by. Many people file multiple ATF form 4's (with a $200 tax) to acquire suppressors, machine guns, and SBR's. 8 is nothing special, you'll see people on r/guns with more.

The tl;dr is if you have the mone and time and clear background, its not hard.

OriginTracer: An In-Browser System for Identifying Extension-Based Ad Injection
This book is not itself experimental research. At best it appears to engage in some amount of summarizing experimental research. On the other hand, the descriptions or excerpts from the book on the linked page themselves criticize the applicability of various kinds of experimental research. And in other news, these are some pretty radical assertions considering how broad they are. All of this is to say that if the book isn't some kind of meticulous, incredibly well-supported, seminal take-down of what we think we know about a variety of fields, I'm gonna guess it's either chock full of anecdotes a la Gladwell or Brooks, or cherry-picking evidence a la Taleb.

Completely disagree. I had to do a config tweak on every new FF install to make it behave like this new default. Love that I don't have to do that anymore.

I don't think using the mouse to select the address bar is incorrect, it seem a very normal and logical thing to do to me.
I know on HN we are not supposed to allege that someone hasn’t read TFA, but please, could you read the spec and then give some details on how to (“trivially”) derive location from the contact tracing as described?
“What’s that?” she asked.
“The ugliest T-shirt in the world,” he said, and kissed her cheek.
“The Bollards will be disappointed,” she said, coming in and closing the door. “I thought they’d had me sleeping in that.”
“So ugly that digital cameras forget they’ve seen it.”
“Cameras can see it. The surveillance cameras can all see it, but then they forget they’ve seen it.”
“Why?”
“Because their architecture tells them to forget it, and anyone who’s wearing it as well. They forget the figure wearing the ugly T-shirt. Forget the head atop it, the legs below, feet, arms, hands. It compels erasure. That which the camera sees, bearing the sigil, it deletes from the recalled image. Though only if you ask it to show you the image. So there’s no suspicious busy-ness to be noticed. If you ask for June 7, camera 53, it retrieves what it saw. In the act of retrieval, the sigil, and the human form bearing it, cease to be represented. By virtue of deep architecture. Gentlemen’s agreement."

It could only work if everyone wear a phone. And then what's next? Forcing everyone by law to always wear a phone at all time?

I would rather see new phone sensors that scan the air, the breath and the body for diseases than a new tracking technology. We could also develop new medicines, etc. Not tracking.

Edit : we also don't have much knowledge about why the virus is more lethal for some people than others. We should focus effort at predicting who will be asymptomatic and who will develop complications, rather than trying to stop the virus from spreading by isolating people
Getting into a large room with a bunch of people and singing isn't in my mind following social distancing guidelines, even if you're not as huggy as usual.

Also this is self report of behavior after people did what was in retrospect a very stupid and risky activity.
I often wonder if things would be better if systems were less forgiving. I bet people would pay more attention if the browser stopped rendering on JavaScript errors or misformed HTML/CSS. This forgiveness seems to encourage a culture of sloppiness which tends to spread out. I have the displeasure of looking at quite a bit of PHP code. When I point out that they should fix
the hundreds of warnings the usual answer is “why? It works.” My answer usually is “are you sure? “.

On the other hand maybe this forgiveness allowed us to build complex systems.
Sandboxie's source code has been released
It makes the feature useful if you only use your web browser. If you use a variety of applications on your computer in combination with each other, it’s also useful that they follow certain consistent UI design patterns so you don’t have to learn and remember how each different application works. That’s part of what makes PCs so much more powerful than the sum of the individual programs you run on them.
Yes, that's the point of measuring them. There are enough senators making enough trades over time though that there should be a clear out-performance bias if they are insider trading with much significance.

The whole problem with this approach though is that a smart senate inside trader (since the STOCK act) would not do these trades him/herself. They would trade inside tips to outsiders for favors instead.

Medically-induced coma and life support is a far better analogy. Thanks for this.
That's great, but you said it was popular in the HPC world. I would love that to be true, but I don't know of a way to see the big picture.
I've attended a couple of events that have had people from long distance and other countries.

Obviously the way this goes down is different for each interviewee and each interviewer.

I personally remember a lot of details from some of my favourite projects, but I wouldn't hesitate to say "let me grab my laptop and I'll show you" because it will be clearer. Then I'd walk the interviewer though all the details of the code, deployment, testing, etc. etc. etc.

Yes it does.

You can either use shared dependencies from the app shell or share dependencies independently from your microfrontends using import maps. The former involves additional responsibility on the app shell side (dangerous) the latter potential overhead in case of unaligned dependency versions (then these are loaded multiple times).
I wasn't advocating programming in natural language. Much too ambiguous. I'm saying "closer" to natural language so our cognitive load is reduced reading and writing in the language so we can focus on what matters - to be more productive as you point out.
Did you think the GP meant that Firefox "has to die"? Because that's not how I took it. I think he means just this new feature needs to die.

And yeah, it's a bit over the top (I haven't looked at the new feature yet, just read descriptions of it), but I didn't feel like it needed a "don't talk like this" response.
I remember my teacher in high school saying GM or Ford developed a turbine-based car that had the standard list of amazing features and never needed repairs, but it was quashed by the mechanics union (or some other similar conspiracy theory).

There is a fundamental asymmetry. Attackers only have to fight battles that they judge to be worth fighting. If they don't think their chances are good enough, whether because they don't have the right weapons or the right numbers or the right circumstances, they can wait for a better opportunity.

Defenders have to fight whatever battle is brought to them.

It's a good start, certainly good for Gilead and the wealthy who can afford it. The trouble is that the synthesis is a multistep horror that is difficult to scale up. There is a step to install the nitrile group, which seems to be required, which takes place at dry-ice temperature. And you need gram amounts per patient and the drug comes as a lyophilized powder, to be reconstituted and taken by injection.

Not a game-changer, when you have millions infected, many in poor parts of the world.

I don't understand what's the point of having a private contractor instead of say, a dedicated Air Force squadron. A private contractor who effectively has a monopoly is necessarily more expensive, as he needs to make a profit, while an Air Force squadron doesn't.

Looks like some sort of elaborate public money scam to me.

I am not sure whether it’s logical but it doesn’t seem normal in the sense that it’s not how a text input box normally works. It’s idiosyncratic (of course, except for Chrome who did it first)
It's hard but eventually you can be content, knowing that it's impossible to process the fire hose of information flying around everyday.

What helps is not trying to read the news everyday. Go for a week without reading news, you'll feel much more in tune with your local surroundings and be able to focus on what you care about more.

I think the site is definitely a good start. I would like to see accumulated data and charting. Which stocks have been bought and sold by week or month, etc.
Related thought, on hiding from cameras and overzealous public identification systems...

Most western nations are now, temporarily, accepting face coverings as daily attire in the age of COVID-19. Plenty of asian and muslim nations did previously, for cultural and health reasons.

Culturally acceptable anonymity, courtesy of the pandemic. Maybe this isn't temporary if the fear of future viral spreads takes root in culture.
Given the number of deaths caused by STDs, it is perhaps justifiable for such data to be shared in the same fashion as one's Covid-19 status, assuming the sharing of the latter is justified.
Awesome idea, and nice work! Is this open source, and if so, would you mind sharing a link to it? I am beginning work on a slightly similar project [1] to help facilitate speech therapy (girlfriend is a speech-language pathologist) over video chat and would be interested to compare with your approach and tech stack.

Imagine when Windows 10 is "updated" to essentially be a chromium browser with typescript used for all UI and builtin utilities. In such a case only special windows store apps are able to be installed... this is the future Microsoft and Google want for us.

I would imagine such a monstrostiy would be so slow with even 32gb that we would have to pay for extra cloud-based services to do menial tasks like edit documents.

God help us all.
Any profit made not by genuinely improving efficiency/productivity is made through causing someone else a loss of the same amount.

Now, very few parts of the finance industry genuinely improve efficiency - classic market making (classic stock market, taking savings and giving out loans to real people) does, but that is just a tiny drop of water in the ocean of dodgy modern finance.

The same applies to tech, too, see Uber and AirBnB.
Platonism has been an ongoing debate for centuries, so the status of numbers and logic do bother some people.
Exactly this. Covid19 is a godsend.

The US has a government agency called BARDA (Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority), that estimated at some point that there are 10000 gaps worldwide when it comes to pandemic prevention. And to close these gaps one would need a budget of $10BN/year. They didn't get that.

Now, after a few trillion down the drain, I think they'll get it.
I wrote a related post a few months back: http://www.brandonsmith.ninja/blog/procedures-functions-data

Something interesting that's happened since then: I've taken a job at a Python company, and I've noticed that, compared to JavaScript, assigning intermediate results into local variables seems to be much more idiomatic in Python for some reason. This is doubly surprising since JavaScript at least has the const keyword. I'm not sure yet how I feel about it.

One other anecdote: I personally relax my usage of assignment a lot more when using Rust, because a) it has rich, deep immutability at a type level, and b) its expressions tend to be longer than those in other languages due to all the monads and such.

when they're generated digitally, it's surprisingly hard to get good robustness against adversarial examples, and people have been working on it for a while. of course you can train to stop any specific input, but then new ones can be created for the newly-trained network.

there are techniques that can prevent this, but you pay a real price in overall performance, which may or may not be worth it.

of course it's harder to make physical objects work, but if somebody did manage to make a method for physical adversarial attacks that worked reliably, I would guess you'd run into the same problems. it's not at all clear that the endgame is that we can easily stop these attacks.

The same weird design can be found on the updated confluence search box too. This is like websites implementing their own smooth scrolling with Javascript. We all know how that worked out.
I would wager that most if not all downturns lead to greater concentration of wealth, since they invariably favor those that cover their risks with tail hedges and maintain a cash reserve for these market events. People who do this are far less common than those that don't and ownership will inevitably flow most dramatically to those that are prepared in a downtown.

The converse, where everyone is prepared, at best would lead to maintaining the status quo, since everyone is ready and willing to pick up the few assets that are forced into a firesale if any.

Personally, I think this is a myth (https://blog.bitsrc.io/11-popular-misconceptions-about-micro...).

Most our projects where microfrontends have been actively demanded (and we did now quite a lot of them) did not come up due to use of multiple frameworks. Yes, it is possible to use multiple technologies, but quite often there is key technology in place anyway. E.g., one of our clients had a huge pattern library written in React and demanded all microfrontends to be written in React.

So why then microfrontends at all? Well, all parts are still independent from each other, i.e., independently developed and deployed. Our client has multiple teams and like that these teams can just work in their own pace using a few guiding principles that have been given by the solution architecture.
That's literally what both Iceland and South Korea rely on. Neither country has SIPs (Iceland even has primary schools open) and the peak is behind them.

(Iceland's outbreak is at about the same infection rate as the Bay Area if you estimate with hospitalizations/deaths. Daegu was significantly worse than the Bay Area per capita).
