I would not be able to work like that, it would lead to neck strain or wrist pain, if you think about it comes naturally to reposition your body when you are looking in a new direction there is a reason for this. This hurts me because the keyboard locks the shoulders and it's only my heavy head that moves, this is not ergonomical.

So being able to fetch up windows so it's perfectly centered above the keyboard would make it easier for me to use.
I don't see any mention of censoring images in either link?

Not to say it's something they wouldn't do, but that was by far the most interesting part of your comment.
Thanks so much for your detailed feedback. There is definitely something going on with the UK thing... Need to dig deeper!

A phone number does not proactively provide information. Should I have to use a professional suit and tie profile picture because my boss' boss might use Signal? What about LGBT people in potentially hostile environments? Etc
I don't think three months is right though. We need to wait at bare minimum until contagion goes back down to the level it was when we shut the economy down. Even if we say that's three months off, we'll just have to shut it back down again shortly after. Then cases will go way back up the way they currently are and we'll wait another few months until they go back down. A number of cycles of this until we hit herd immunity, which, if we say 1% of population catch it each cycle, that's quite a number of multi-month cycles.
Order of magnitude = 10. Binary order of magnitude = twofold = 2x.

We are in agreement -- I do not believe the funding has compromised Signal's security. It has, however, compromised my trust (how do you know the funding has no strings attached?)
The idea is awesome. This is something I didn't know I needed, the biggest advantage is the hierarchical structure makes anki cards much easier to manage. I'm totally your target audience. I like Anki but find the interface for making cards cumbersome.

But a couple of pieces of advice.

1. I think there is too much stuff on the screen and it can feel overwhelming.

2. It doesn't seem obvious how to use it. I think if the first screen you went to was a hierarchical example deck it would useful. An illustrative example is worth a 1000 tool tips.
Look layoffs are always shitty, and Yelp in many ways is not an ethical company. However if you read the actual post, the leadership is at least trying. The CEO is taking no pay, execs are taking pay cuts. They've cancelled projects. My guess is that their revenue has tanked to near 0 and that since many of their clients are closing, possibly for good they're expecting significantly lower revenue for the next 2 years.
So you have no source for the claim that 'The Dutch made an ordering mistake'.

I won't read LinkedIn btw, that is not a source.
There's a typo on the About Pricing page that says 'I will likely do this thorugh a subscription model'

I've been dreaming of building something like this since I read a blog post from Mr Money Mustache [1]. I'm still in university right now, so I don't have the means or the property to do this, but I love the idea of being able to separate my work from my home. I'm a firm believer (at least for myself) that doing too many diverse tasks in a single environment tampers the way we think of that environment.

I teach students study skill and time management at my Uni, and this is one of the most important things for a lot of them to learn, especially for students in the dorms. A single room where you eat, sleep, hang out, and study is a bad place to be productive. If you need to get work done, it's going to be easy to get distracted because everything around you will have some association with Smash Bros or anything else you do in your spare time in that room. I tell them to find places that they only associate with work (the library is very common).

I'd love to have a space like that that is close to my home, but has some physical separation from the home. Not to mention how it would be a fun and rewarding project.

These are cool, but a bit pricey for me, and I'd want to challenge of building it, but I can see this being neat for other people.

I don't understand your argument about ecosystem being far more important. People ceasing use of any of the tools necessarily removes them from the ecosystem and community. They have no reason to care about those things.
Any decent statistical model like this should include a confidence interval , if biological is so difficult then the CI would have reflected that . This just seems poor science to me
I have a colleague who uses an ~A4 e-reader with a digital pen/pencil thing for reading academic papers.

He claims it allows him to focus on the work, keep backup copies of his notes (he can draw right on the PDFs and then save them to "the cloud", I think), and although it has an experimental web browser, he keeps it in Airplane mode when working.
To add to your questions - What about old farts with reading glasses, like me? Do they just work with VR, or are they even needed?
Global companies employ regional sales and marketing people, since those are typically the most effective workers in those roles. Once you start layering on countries, there are also administrative roles that get added.
I believe persistent hunting also encourages very high intelligence for the tracking aspect as well. You're essentially emulating another creatures brain in order to figure out their likely movements whenever they go out of sight.

I don’t think this was ever a real thing. DC-10 had terrible problems. When you bought a car in the 50-60s you’d have a notepad in the car and write down the issues you found. You’d then have warranty work. I agree with your goals but let’s not get into a Make America Great Again mindset.
Even at most cynical, it would be "When times are good, you take profit while also paying payroll tax, income tax, property tax, unemployment taxes, social security taxes, medicare taxes and when times are bad, some of your employees use those government programs you've been funding during the good times"

Part of the reason those large "essentials" (college education is not essential!) have become so expensive is that people have been willing to pay more and more for it. The supply of these is not increasing fast enough to keep up with demand. US population in 1970 was 205 million. Today it's 327 million. Nowadays around 30% of the population has a college education, in 1970 that was 10%. 70% of students that graduate high school go on to college nowadays. It used to be 50%.

People have more money available, the resource is scarce, and the bare minimum to live costs less. This means that people are willing to pay more of their income and these people end up taking up the supply.
Wow. Seriously impressive turnaround time, and thanks for listening!
I don’t quite agree. When 99.9% of businesses gets blindsided by the impact of the shelter in place orders it becomes a black swan like event. All those businesses couldn’t predict an event this cataclysmic to their core product.

Just because the pandemic itself was predicted doesn’t mean much when the global fall out is totally novel and unpredictable.
Mail.ru Group is controlled by Alisher Usmanov, an oligarch from the 90s and an old friend of Putin. Few years back Mail.ru group with the help of russian secret services staged a hostile takeover of VK, biggest social network in russia, essentially forcing the founder to leave the country. Since then VK data has been freely available to any russian enforcement agency, or even anyone pretending to be one. In russia there isn't even a pretense of privacy/independence from them, everyone knows FSB&Friends have unrestricted access to their stuff
Flexbox is for "1D layouts"; "lists" (including ones that wrap). Grid is for "2D layouts". In most cases you don't really need Grid (and it has a much steeper learning curve), but if you want to, say, mimic a <table> without an actual <table> element, Flexbox simply cannot do that.
Yeah but that's more just not very accessible vs requiring a walkthrough.

Even though I know how to solve it, I always struggle with that puzzle.
That's not necessarily true. Jabber was a huge protocol already and IRC was big too and those were not about brand names. Jabber was even so ubiquitous that Google Chat/Talk both used it as a backend. You could add Google Chat to any client that supported Jabber. It wasn't until AOL got wind of AIM being a way to grab more ads and cash that things changed.
Hi there, Pipedream co-founder and engineer here. Paid plans are coming soon. We launched with a free tier during our beta to let developers experiment and solicit feedback improve the product for the longer-term.

Python's time() call is returning the unix epoch wall clock time. Newbies (and most engineers TBH) are not going to know the subtleties and reasons why you'd use a monotonic clock or to even think of using one or another.

So for this comparison, it is better to use Date().

This is not as absolute as is being presented. We can speak about spreads and aggregate behavioral patterns just fine if we take times to infinity and zoom out far enough. The next few weeks or localized transmisson (which is "impossible" to model) are problematic, agreed.
The failed startup Paul Graham did before the one that took off. It was putting art galleries online. Obviously you’re different, but it was close enough to make me laugh. Someone replied to me with the story.

>Another aspect is your changes often have to be approved by a lot of people, which is not the case on small projects.

So you need more engineers because you hired more middle managers?

That's a little absurd in my opinion but I am likely wrong in this assumption.

It just seems like the reaction to "We have lots of approvals" should be figuring out how to reduce the amount of approvals needed, not hiring more engineers to increase velocity.
Thank you! Well put.

The initial scientific name is similar, but it is still a different virus with very different characteristics. As I said: it is less lethal than SARS but MUCH more contagious, plus a much longer incubation time and possibility of asymptomatic spread. Sars cannot be spread asymptomatically. About the only things similar are that they are both coronaviruses, and the symptoms. I am not being pedantic at all, these characteristics are key.

Sars 2 is to Sars 1 as Mario 2 is to Mario 1. About the only thing similar is the characters.

How many times have we seen another variant of bird flu in the past 15 years? I lost count. Some of them even jumped to humans. But when that happened, we didn't immediately raise alarms of an upcoming pandemic: a virus jumping to humans does not always mean human to human transmission is possible.
No. The WHO constantly downplayed this pandemic and kowtowed to China to the point of disgracefully delaying calling it a pandemic and then playing catch-up when individual countries started ignoring the WHO and implemented their own measures.

Then the WHO switched gears and complained that the countries were doing too little too late.

They've been almost completely worthless in this crisis.
You can call out to JS using ports and custom elements and accomplish nearly everything you could possibly need. This blog post is focusing on a largely undocumented, always discouraged "feature" (used loosely, as even from its inception it was verboten, couldn't be distributed via the official package manager, etc.) which allowed users to hack library support directly into the Elm language while risking (and losing!) many of the guarantees Elm provides. Whether it's a good fit for your startup is another question, but I just wanted to assuage that concern.

> I believe there is a larger group of Rust programmers

Is there ? This is a genuine question - I've tried rust back in 2013 and have been following it from the outside not using it for anything serious since I haven't had a use case. My impression is that it's still a niche language with and their user base seems to be very involved and engaged. It don't have the impression that there are a lot of companies that are "just doing their job with Rust and not making a lot of noise about it" - if a company is using Rust for something it's probably writing an engineering blogpost about it and the guy who spearheaded it is probably active within the community. I'm just basing this on the amount of Rust posts vs the amount of Rust use/job postings in those quiet, doing their thing companies.

I think the problem is in allowing capital to continuously seek out higher profits by finding places and people that they can exploit.
That would be nice, but most companies most likely prioritize profit for shareholders and rather lay you off/furlough and let government / unemployment / rescue bills pick up the cost.

The 200k/127k people are harping about IS THE CONFIDENCE INTERVAL (well, the upper half of it, hence "up to").

That's half of my point--you'd expect the confidence interval to narrow with more data, regardless of what's going on. On top of that, you've got model error and non-stationarity (e.g., better care is discovered, driving the mortality rate down), which can't be reflected in the confidence interval.

Here's one of the modelling paper. The discussion of uncertainty starts on page 4: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.27.20043752v...

What makes you think Dart and Go have been unsuccessful?

Both are relatively young languages with rapidly growing adoption. Dart was on a downward trend but has seen a rejuvenation in the last few years thanks to flutter.
Why do you think Swift would be the best language? I am doing a lot of C#, and so far have not seen anything in Swift, that would make it feel better. In fact, at this moment even Java is doing leaps forward, so will quickly catch up on syntax.

And C# and Java have a benefit of JIT VM by default, meaning you only build once for all platforms, unless you need AOT for whatever rare reason (which they also have).
Ah, that was a good solution for your climate. Site prep here, PNW, would be more substantial and has always deterred me. But maybe your experience will kindle my motivation.
I don't think it's one or the other. I struggled a lot through differential equations because I didn't have good memorization skills. Had I memorized all of the formula it would have helped me get more out of doing the problems.

It's like learning Spanish. If you memorize a bunch of words you won't be able to speak Spanish. But if you have a bunch of Spanish words memorized than you'll get a lot more out of reading/listening/ trying to speak Spanish than if you don't.

And memorization is usually a far less taxing activity that you can do on your phone when waiting in line or using the bathroom.
After reading a large number of the responses here, I feel like I've noticed a pattern - two types of comments:

1) I've used the language and agree with the conclusions of the post even if I don't necessarily agree with every point.

2) I haven't used the language, but I believe open source projects must be maintained by their maintainers as they see fit.

I actually agree with both of these positions, but, having used Elm in the past for a hobby project with an eye towards using it in production, I probably won't ever use it. I loved the original promise. Evan's ideas about the Elm Architecture are worth reading and learning for anyone. But, as many others have pointed out, if one has to maintain a project over the years, the breaking changes in the language would have caused great bouts of teeth gnashing.

I don't love Java, but over the years I've come to expect that with each new major version of the language, that a small amount of work needs to be done to guarantee my production code will keep working and I can integrate new features as I have time. With Elm, every release forced me to spent hours figuring out how to make my old code work again.
Low-tech / small-scale solution: Similar to what you're doing, UptimeRobot lets us monitor and alert on status codes for free, which works for a lot of simple APIs. I also write a few simple tests for my most important API routes (sort of like a heartbeat or a self-check / test) that return a 500 on failure (when health of the actual API might not be surfaced by a simpler test). 50 "tests" for free goes pretty far.

I also tried a product recently that I really liked, https://checklyhq.com/ -- They'll give you more advanced ways of vetting your API responses from multiple locations (along with averaging request time and monitoring that).
Even rms agrees that games do not need to be open source. It's when the program has control over your actual life when freedoms, privacy and security start to matter.

I’m not discounting it. My point is that it doesn’t seem especially recent.

Even by official public release it’s almost five years old.

The OP was arguing that google had had several recent successes, but their list tends to be 5+ years old. The point is that such a list is not especially convincing.

I should note that my point in mentioning the early origins of tensorflow was that google had a reputation for being more innovative in those years. So it is also meaningful that Tensorflow’s origins are from that period.

Google’s modern reputation is introducing a new chat app each year and deprecating the old one.

I wear glasses and VR is fine for me. I know some people who can't use it with glasses, but I think that's for clearance reasons.

There's prescription lenses for headsets, but they're fairly expensive and IMO only worth it if you use VR a lot.
Just like happened to many of my friends who graduated in 2001 and then were ready to buy a house in 2008/2009. The point above is valid, this is not special.
If you really want to understand, you'll just have to learn CSS. If you only care about doing quick prototypes, you can get by with a higher-level library like material-ui, Bootstrap, etc. They tend to include their own simplified layout vocabulary, but you'll be dependent on that vocabulary's quality, documentation, and behavior, and won't realistically be able to step outside of it.

Yeah their strategy is to grow so large that they can just call the shots. I would be a ton of "western" politicians and business leaders are in their pockets too. Instead of a head on conflict they are going to slowly absorb the enemy. This is one area that I think Trump was right in, and the Dems (and neo-cons) seemed to be mostly in their pockets. I don't fully understand what Obama's China plan was.
EARN IT will affect all encryption software, not just Signal. This bill is just the newest way Congress is trying to enforce required backdoors in all apps/devices. Last time it was under the guise of protecting us from terrorists, this time it's under the guise of protecting the children from pedophiles. I wonder what they'll try next time, when this inevitably fails again.
I think you need as many approvals as your risk tolerance allows for... they're not pointless. If they are pointless then sure, get rid of them. But I don't know how you'd guess that number without deep knowledge of the business.

It is sometimes better to go slower than you could and be more confident that the product is acceptable. Approvals can but don't necessarily help with that.

RE eye strain, here are a couple of links showing off Simula's text quality:

https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula/blob/gdwlroots-xwayland/d...
https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula/blob/gdwlroots-xwayland/d...

Many early VR Desktops (and VR games) didn't go to special effort to optimize text quality, and I think this has given people a lower than warranted impression of what is possible in VR today. There's no doubt that VR hardware is going to get exponentially lighter/sharper over time, and that these improvements will be welcome, but things are good enough now to put in 1hr+ long sessions without eye strain (at least in my experience as a daily user).
Enumerations can satisfy protocol requirements in Swift; they're first class.
What is wrong with the wording of the title? The first line is "Signal is warning that an anti-encryption bill circulating in Congress could force the private messaging app to pull out of the US market." Being forced out of the market is different than "threatening to dump the market".
ELI5 "anti-correlated" here? What I envision is the temporal circuit acting like a computer clock, and the other as input/output. But "anti correlated" makes it sound like that's not the case?
