I haven't sat and gotten deeply introspective about it, but when I think about all the trips and dinners and conferences etc I went to in order to build relationships to get a same, it feels deeply icky that the root of those relationships was a desire for a financial transaction.

I think we actually did as well as we did, in part because being rooted in a transaction felt so wrong that I actually tried to build relationships with the people I was trying to sell to, in a way that wasn't purely transactional. I'm actually still friendly with some of those people who bought from us today.
The Quest for a Pandemic Pill
I don't know anything either, but I assume not? With a device driver you'd be handling interrupts directly by registering an interrupt service routine and all that good stuff. io_uring is a user->kernel API because userspace doesn't handle those interrupts directly. Instead, device driver ISRs fill buffers and what have you, then kernel notifies user via io_uring that data is ready.

On the other hand, my company has cut hours for the entire product/dev team by 20% (not sure what the consulting side is doing, I don't talk to them much) rather than make layoffs.

Makes me actually trust them when they say they have no intention to make anybody redundant if they can avoid it. They actually want to keep me employed if they can help it. The fact that I've turned up late 3 days a week for 2 years and never got written up for it attests to that too, I must be pretty good at coding I guess.
I'm using Roam for now with the assumption that a json dump would be straightforwardly convertible to a filesystem of .md or .org files. These services usually have full-text search as well (Roam does).
Unfortunately rio is unsound (and the maintainer doesn’t seem to care) [1].

It’s also GPL3 which limits its use in many projects.

But I too am hopeful. Just not for rio’s API model specifically.

The author seems to conflate work capacity with work hours, which is what I'm trying to disprove. Work capacity is IMHO the maximum that a company can accomplish given the resources, which in a multi-skill team can be super-linear if a skill is lacking and it's supplied. The work can be the same but if made by a specialist it's more efficient in a non-linear way. I am sure someone was doing devops before but if an expert does it then it'll improve everyone's life by leaps and bounds.
Funny, I looked into papers or articles about performance issues with containerized RDBS _binaries_ and didn't find anything relevant. Of course you want the data mounted outside the container so it's not ephemeral.

I ran some casual tests using and found out there is a performance hit in using db binaries inside a Docker container due to Docker networking (different for different types of networking).

Pandemic, probably not. Difficult (if not quite depressed) economy, probably.
Interesting how much anti-China stuff you post.
> I'm not sure how I can reconcile it with the reality of modern-day armed forces: where millions of organizational members function extremely efficiently (possibly due to very rigid organizational structures -- which the article doesn't really touch on)

Yes, I think it is due to the organization topology. The quadratic case mentioned ((N^2 - N) / 2) assumes a fully-connected network. Also, it would depend on the weight of each connection. Perhaps the "cost" of having two mathematicians communicate together is higher than the "cost" of having two soldiers communicate together.
Their preferred shops are to be completely disregarded. You should not only disregard them, but also make a point of not using them. If you use their “preferred” shop, you are not the customer, the insurance company is. There’s no benefit to you whatsoever, and they still have to pay regardless.

Microservices are hard Build boring stack first
Given the hype for microservices, it's ok to become crazy about it and copy questions of why/what of likes of Netflix/Uber, etc.
But at the same time, you need to understand A Netflix/Uber style microservices aren't required by (most?) org. They build it because they understand the domain they’re working in and knows their answers to how.
Your approach to building one, without understanding your domain, or if you’re still trying to figure it out, microservices could do more harm than good because

1. Building reliable and testable microservices is a lot harder than you think. Distributed Transactions, synchronized clock, tracing, observability, debugging, etc are never easy.
2. Effectively testing microservices requires a ton of tooling and foresight.

So build boring stack first, Understand your domain and tech-sack. Monoliths are a good starting point to do so. Scale with monoliths first, figure out what is the bottleneck and optimize (A solid monolith can easily handle 10k rps nowadays). You don't become Google/Netflix/Uber, etc scale from day one. By the time you get there, you will have enough knowledge to build one.
You can see moves being counted in this port for the TRS-80 Color Computer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncsglTE2xoY

I had that game as a child. Even though it counted moves, I never paid attention to it. I only cared about finishing the level. Your game puts more emphasis on the number of moves especially with showing the minimum number of moves to solve a level. That gives it more replay value.
> One key part is that naming is important. This is always a fight I am willing to take. Acronyms, fantasy names, names of teams or legacy names that does not represent the functionality of the micro-service plague many companies.

> If you will not name a method "Jimmy" or a local variable "Galactus", why developers are naming their micro-services in such a bad way?

There was a post on the front page today about the "principle of least astonishment." It could not be more applicable than this example.

The spec itself is not so important but the process of creating it.
Because all stakeholders are forced to think through the problem and the implementation beforehand, come to an agreement and are on the same information level before starting.
Whether the texturing/antialiasing units (called ROP in this GPU) are a bottleneck depends on the program you run on the GPU, and how it's tuned to the underlying fixed console hardware, and what tradeoffs are made to do work on the ROPs vs other hardware. With consoles the benefit of the fixed hardware configuration is that you can tune the program so that it's using the hw in a balanced way.
If the landlord does accrual accounting then the landlord has a deductible loss, fills out a 1099-C, and the tenant needs to record that forgiven rent as income.
Discussions about contemporary politics tend not to go well on forums like this, but in the author's appearance on Rogan a few days ago, he specifically discusses this concept with reference to Trump:

How to Make Money Offline as a Programmer
Seems to me like you have it backwards.

The reason you even got a chance to click on it is because they wrote it that way. If they didn't, it wouldn't be as visible in Google = nobody would see it. When most websites do this (to survive) folks don't have a choice.

Also, advertisers don't pay for something that's invisible.

I second the vote about “Eclipse” being toxic.

That is just my personal opinion, and I recognize that tastes differ, but due to years of (bad) experience across multiple domains for a plethora of reasons, I won’t allow and will actively root out any whiff of Eclipse near my codebase.

Yes, others have different options and IDE selection is only slightly less polarizing than politics or religion but... that’s the branding quagmire right there.
what are "non-transactional meetings"? sounds like a pedantic way to say meetings that could be an email update.
My wife and I were already considering dropping my car from the two car policy we have when it renews next month. I personally think we'll be in a "shelter in place" mode through most of June at the earliest and with us both working remote and daycares being shut down here in my part of TX the need to cover two cars no longer exists. If I need to re-add the car to the policy in July or August at least I'll have saved maybe a few hundred bucks, but if our insurer joins this trend the hassle of dropping might not be worth it.
> Do you think that the price an insurance company sets for risk in advance is by definition correct?

The question doesn't make sense. The price is neither correct nor incorrect, it is just the price. It may or may not lead to financial success based on a whole host of factors but that isn't the same thing as "correct" or "incorrect".
Came here searching for alternative. Didn't find one in the comments so I did some probing. Open Weather Map looks like a decent alternative to Dark Sky: https://rapidapi.com/blog/dark-sky-vs-openweathermap/
Based on the negative comments here, I get the feeling that many people feel like it is fraud to put forth an innovative idea without a paper to back it up.

It makes me think of Nassim Taleb who has really added some valuable mental models that are extremely intuitive to the layman, but now his twitter existence is spent posting boring paper after paper of math to prove his ideas are correct.

I am unqualified to speak to Weinstein’s theory and what it lacks, but I like underscoring the trend I mentioned above when it surfaces in some form. On another note, I highly recommend listening to the Jeffrey Epstein podcast on the Portal. It’s not a typical podcast, but rather something Weinstein felt obligated to release into the ether.
> This can’t be true or arbitrators would be able to openly ignore the plaintiff’s testimony, say so in writing in their judgment and condemn the plaintiff to death for being a minute late to their job at WalMart.

Obviously there are limits, but if the arbitrators aren't open and blatant about their bias, I think you'd be hard pressed to find any remedy if you were wronged by a biased arbitrator.

The point of arbitration isn't to allow companies to engage illegal criminal conduct like slavery, it's to make them practically immune from civil court proceedings.

I am also in Mountain View and haven’t been in a store since February.

I have been able to place pick up orders with Nob Hill Foods for two weeks out (delivery has not been available lately).

One of my husband’s colleagues has had good luck with Draeger’s via Instacart (he said same day!).

If you make an Amazon Fresh cart and then refresh the page where you select your delivery window a lot between 9 pm and 12 am you can sometimes catch the new batch of delivery windows being released. For most Amazon Fresh warehouses they are released at midnight, but it is controlled by the local warehouse, and ours releases the new slots at random times in the evening. When I can get a slot Amazon fresh is my favorite—good selection and 90% of what I order actually arrives, which is great.

My husband also mentioned a friend successfully having toilet paper delivered from Home Depot.
Just a distributed denial of service attack.

It is amazing how so few systems are inherently robust to DDOS.
Hi! Thanks for hopping on HN to answer questions. Are you expecting anything particularly interesting or exciting out of these tests?
Airbnb raises $1B, with IPO uncertain
Weinstein is very publicly in opposition to Thiel over the suitability of Trump for the presidency, but the fact that they both think about a concept like kayfaybe and its influence on serious public affairs, indicates something interesting about how they think about the forces at play in the world.
Did you believe the cost/benefit was in the purchasers favor? Or were you cynical about the solution/value of solution?

I’m a purchaser of enterprise software. This is something I try to gauge from the sales rep. There’s a lot of risk in buying software that doesn’t actually solve the problems you face and you typically don’t find this out until well into integration.
I'm amazed that they're bold enough to announce that they won't be paying their bills. Is the culture of entitlement really that strong?

You call up each person/company you owe and you beg, hat in hand, for an extension. Or you get an emergency loan or line of credit or file for bankruptcy and stop paying bills that way.

But you can't just say, "the government made it so we are struggling so we've decided to stop paying our bills."
Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin study does not meet expected standard
Yes, of course they had reasons. It's not obvious what to do in a disaster.

But did people die because of that decision? Probably. Maybe a lot.

Tough calls. It comes down to who made those tough calls earlier. And that's not a partisan thing, or a smart/dumb thing.

Plenty of bad decisions to go around, but we probably shouldn't lay the blame to thick anywhere. Because it's chaos and people are adapting and changing in real time.

Look at someone like Newsom. One minute he's the mayor of SF, the next he's the governor of 40M people and he has to shut down the state to slow down the virus. I guarantee he's going to be a different person in 12 months.
I suppose it's the service, not software. Much like Github is first of all a service, a site.
Are the medical supplies running out
First of all - very interesting work. I am gonna use the opportunity to ask question to authors directly. Keep in mind that I don’t know a lot about gravity ;)

As far as I understand speed of gravity interaction is limited by speed of light. So my understanding is that the 1/r^2 law is only approximately true since real interactions are retarded. Is that correct? If yes then at what level (what order of magnitude) those corrections affect your result (I understand that at such short distances it’s very minor but I suppose it can be an somehow is estimated)?
You can look at the selection criteria and perform an analysis. If the data is clear enough, you can still pull a signal out of the noise. I assume that's the reason you took a 70/73 survival rate in the hypothetical I posed and reduced it to 20% in your version. And to be clear, in my version it's a general hospital and they give the treatment to everyone that has this diagnosis. There are no intentional selection criteria, it's mostly just who lives in the area.
Docker Best Practices and Anti-Patterns
I disagree that whether someone agrees or disagrees with someone else is worthy of an "article", and even less that it makes an article worthy (but whether something is true or not, why that is, and what the consequences might be, would make a good one — alas, this is not it).

You do have an important insight there: you believe—well, you claim that—Trump is doing what's best for the US. I do not, but belief is usually not up for debate.
Ironically Eric used these techniques in his interview with Joe Rogan three days ago. Eric blamed the divergence of the income and production relation on the modern academic environment. Which is a bizarre conclusion to draw, instead of the more likely candidates of Neo-liberalisim and market forces of the employment sector. These conclusions wouldn't suit his world view, so he explained them away using jargon.

His view on physics is equally as baffling. He claims he knows the secret that will revolutionise the field, at the same time, people in the field discredit his theory because they're arrogant and academically institutionalized. It's a bold claim to make, and I'll have to eat my hat if he's right, but I'll trust the people who are experts in the field.

In short, Eric Weinstein is a crackpot. A very intelligent crackpot, but he really should stick to mathematics and investment.
A pandemic is indefinitely shutting down most of the country. This is hardly evidence that the economy is "fragile".

That would be like calling your iPhone fragile if it breaks after throwing out the window of a skyscraper.

> Well, good luck to the bank. Foreclose and enjoy owning a few acres of urban blight.

Theoretically Id' agree with you, but that's exactly what happened in 2008. Banks got bailed out (bigger banks got more $$) and they just rode out the recession by getting SEC to pass a rule that removed "mark to market" rules.

There is no law or regulation that is exempt from being manipulated by the most powerful lobby in the country.

Yes you just get credit card cash-back in the amount of your state sales tax. Which is not bad, living in CA for instance it gives you 7.25% cash back. Compare that to Amazon where you get 5% back with their card, or any general purpose credit card where you won't really find better than 2% rewards for online shopping.

হ্যান্ড স্যানিটাইজারের মূল্য বেঁধে দিলো ওষুধ প্রশাসন
দেশে হ্যান্ড স্যানিটাইজার উৎপাদনকারী সাত ওষুধ কোম্পানির উৎপাদিত হ্যান্ড স্যানিটাইজারের মূল্য নির্ধারণ করে দিয়েছে ওষুধ প্রশাসন অধিদফতর।

সোমবার (৯ মার্চ) ওষুধ প্রশাসন অধিদফতরের মহাপরিচালক স্বাক্ষরিত এক গণবিজ্ঞপ্তি জারি করা হয়।

বিজ্ঞপ্তিতে বলা হয়, গতকাল রোববার দেশে প্রথমবারের মতো করোনাভাইরাসে আক্রান্ত তিনজন রোগী শনাক্ত হওয়ার পর বাজারে হ্যান্ড স্যানিটাইজারের মূল্য হঠাৎ বেড়ে যায়। বিভিন্ন গণমাধ্যমে এ-সংক্রান্ত প্রতিবেদন প্রকাশিত হলে ওষুধ প্রশাসন অধিদফতর উৎপাদনকারী প্রতিষ্ঠানগুলোর সঙ্গে আলাপ-আলোচনা করে মূল্য নির্ধারণ করা হয়।

এ বিষয়ে ওষুধ প্রশাসন অধিদফতরের মহাপরিচালক মেজর জেনারেল মো. মাহবুবুর রহমান জানান, বেঁধে দেয়া মূল্যের চেয়ে অধিক মূল্যে হ্যান্ডসেট বিক্রি করলে তাদের বিরুদ্ধে আইনানুগ ব্যবস্থা গ্রহণ করা হবে। দেশে পর্যাপ্ত পরিমাণ হ্যান্ডসেটের কাঁচামাল মজুত আছে। খুচরা বিক্রেতাদের একসঙ্গে কোনো ব্যক্তির কাছে একটির বেশি হ্যান্ড স্যানিটাইজার বিক্রি করতে নিষেধ করেন।

Posted here a few months ago as well [1] when the judge's decision was given. This NYT article doesn't add anything new, and I suspect it's a result of the defense lawyers calling in favors order to put pressure on DoorDash which filed for it's IPO in February.

DoorDash is most likely going to use the surge in traffic because of the coronavirus to help push their IPO through sooner than later, taking advantage of the fact they're one of the few types of businesses benefitting from the lock down. If the defense can threaten that IPO, DoorDash might be more pliable to a deal...

Technically, containers running on MacOS and Windows are a (Linux) VM, under the hood. Now, Microsoft put in a lot of work to support something like namespaces in the Windows kernel, so that it's now possible to run "Windows-native containers" for Windows software. But both Windows and MacOS still use a Linux VM under the hood to run Linux containers. That being said, I'm not familiar with the details of Windows containers because I don't use any Windows software and therefore don't have a reason to run any Windows containers. If you are interested in how containers work at a lower level, you might get more out of the documentation for containerd and runc, which are the underlying container runtimes.
