Recirculating ball steering?

In the world of color, remember ansi.sys ? That was about 40 years after NTSC. Imagine how well color TV would have worked if the color information had been sent by embedded escape codes.

In the over-the-air broadcasting world, there are all those sub-carriers riding on just about all the FM signals making background monkey-chatter for each other.

And before multiplexing by frequency came along, there were those center-tap
methods of sending three signals on two lines, seven signals on four lines (did anyone ever get it to work for fifteen signals on eight lines)?
Apparently we must not be. I have an Arctis 7 headset and I can take the transceiver and move it from my main rig to my work machine and even my phone... it works straight away and I don't need to configure anything.

Not that I've needed to do it, but have you tried disabling all of your unused audio input/output devices on your computer? If you don't use things like line or mic in on your motherboard, disable them. It gives Discord less things to try to bind to.
I'd caution away from comparing the current recession to 2008. There the problem was truly unsustainable economic activity in the runup expansionary phase.

Consumer spending was powered by sub-prime mortgages that let people use hyperbolic housing prices as an ATM. Investment was juiced by an unsustainable expansion in residential construction. The financial markets created a flood of illusory wealth based off credit models that were never tested in production. Even after the initial financial crisis subsided, there was no way to turn the clock back to 2007. You couldn't just go back to AAA-rated CDOs built on NINJA loans to let people speculate on McMansions.

This crisis is very different. Quarantine may last a long time, but eventually it will be over. There's no ostensible reason we can't go back to status quo ante bellum. There was nothing grossly unsustainable about the way the economy was operating in 2019. And once the virus threat is gone, we can just go back to the same economic patterns we were engaged in before the crisis.
The parent is pointing out functionality that only pops up for explicit screensharing -- changing your camera to a screen grab won't trigger these.

In particular, one I've found very useful with Zoom is being able to zoom in to a small region and scroll around. I also suspect Zoom prioritized resolution (for content clarity) over frame rate for screen sharing, which probably doesn't apply when it's just a "webcam" in the eyes of the client. I'm guessing your window capture would get decimated in terms of quality.
It’s new patients only, but for each day they might have been infectious. So, if it’s 100k new cases a day, and each uploads 5 days of keys, then it’s 8 MB.

Seems doable, especially considering that you’d want to have fully blown lockdown during the exponential growth, and only then switch over to this contact tracing phase once the initial wave has abated.
Stock buybacks are even more dangerous when combined with leveraged buy-outs.

So a venture capital/private equity firm buys a successful company & brand, loads it up with debt, buys back the stock and pays itself "management fees" equal to the payout, while hollowing out the company itself.

Not much of the current personal arms policy debate in the US is about whether we should strive to make it impossible for criminals or civil rights activists to get a gun. It's about the margins of ease, how that can or should vary by person, how capacity or type of weapon matters, legal exposure of different kind of carrying, and other matters that could reasonably fall under "well-regulated."

For example, some people think a recent domestic abuse record should trigger a very high level of scrutiny for firearm purchases (or even continued possession). This isn't the sort of rule that would prevent anyone from committing a crime with a gun, perhaps not even an impenetrable wall for those with such records. But it increases the practical difficulty and compounds the crime (and risk) for certain cases.

Margins matter -- seatbelts can't save all lives but they absolutely produce a safety margin.

Except the experiment has been done for us already by nature. We are not doing the experiment, just observing what has already happened. Sure you would not be able to make a strain of unknown attenuation in the lab and spread it around (this would be very dangerous), but you can use the data that nature has provided us. I am proposing we go and collect that data.

> I'm sure that class of bugs is relevant for Typescript programmers, because they never develop the skills to not implement those bugs in the first place.

This rings true, especially given that in my experience, most of the static typed people either never worked with dynamic languages at all, or converted from dynamic to static. Most of the dynamic minded people I know actually converted _from_ static typing after doing that for years (myself included).

The calculus is pretty simple IMO: if one has mental discipline to work with a dynamic weakly typed language, not having to mess with types and compilers is downright liberating: ye godz, just gimme that data! On the other hand the people who never experienced conditions leading to developing said mental discipline tend to abhor the idea of not having the "type safety" (cute marketing, that). Hence the chasm between Lisp crowd and Haskell mob, with JavaScript being the perpetual battleground somewhere in between.

Yes, a true free market can only exist via governmental regulation, as otherwise, companies tend towards monopolies and collusion. It would be nice to have such a market, but I do wonder how we'll get there with moneyed interests at the door.
This is not a stupid question. Yes we could engineer such a strain, the problem would be testing it given we would not be able to predict how dangerous it was.

Yes but perfect destructive interference isn’t possible unless everything remains fixed in place which is difficult on a living human head. Its quite possible to get temporary constructive interference for short periods, and also plausible the brain would filter the spurious noise out.
> For the first job, I agree that it's important and I don't even have a problem with it being a factor.

As someone who went both to a top school and a very average school, I do have a problem with it. If you've not been to an average school, you may be surprised at how many bright and motivated students there are.[1] And if you've not been to a top school, you may be surprised at how average most of the students are.

I don't know if this generalizes, but it was my observation: Top school students tended to be a bit less honest (soft cheating, etc). At least where I was, it appeared to be clearly tied to the competitiveness needed to get in and get top grades.

[1] My grad school group-mate, who had only been at top schools, once went for an internship in a national lab. He was shaken at the fact that another intern from the University of Alabama-Huntsville was as capable/smart as he was. I saw this often in top school students, where they just assume that if they're doing well in school, that they are somehow better educated than the rest of the country.
neat if it worked, but article specifically calls out that Chinese (and other) systems have been trained on medical-masked datasets :-/
Which in my opinion is acceptable, because it's the short-term chaos that is the most likely to bubble out of control and turn into a long-term chaos. Imagine the chaos that would besiege the world if there was a risk of bank runs and people not even being able to pay for food anymore. We're only three to six missed meals away from absolute anarchy and violence in the streets.
The mostly black backpack makes me wonder if a vantablack-covered tarp poncho would work. Since you should just be a black, featureless blob to a camera there's not much for the NN to latch onto other than outline.
Investors.com is partisan garbage. They're famously the ones who wrote that Stephen Hawking wouldn't have been able to survive under the NHS and that we found yellowcake uranium in Iraq after the invasion. Their weird authorless editorials get into all sorts of 'the lizards walk among us' areas. As for Pelosi, their claim is that she killed legislation to limit swipe fees in 2007 -- in order to take part in an IPO in 2008 -- to then pass the swipe fee legislation in 2009 (which would hurt the share price now that she owned the stock)? Meanwhile she held onto the IPO stock and bought 3x at prices of twice the dollar amount of the IPO?

I'd love to see someone diagram how that is meant to be sinister.
This specific one came out a few hours ago and is pretty auditable even if those two don't disclose their implementation for this tiny part.

Other than that many, in fact most of those I know to be active, tracing efforts are pretty open, the one you linked is definitely not the only one that currently publishes their source or plans to do so in the near future. There's even been others in this thread.

This was a huge realization that I recently had. I didn't study CS in school, so the past couple months I've decided that I should learn the fundamentals in hopes of becoming a better developer. Learning about data structures and algorithms has definitely changed the way that I look at the world. It's nice to have knowledge of different types of problems and how to find solutions to them. Just a couple of hours ago I used a greedy algorithm to choose how to best structure my study time over the next week.
The high yield bonds the FED is buying are high interest. Also the banks have access to those low interest rates because they usually have collateral.

I talk to a lot of retired people. And a lot of them mention they’re bored and interested in finding some kind of fun job. of those that have tried it, it’s gone badly. There’s just so much nonsense in any job.

XMousePasteBlock is apparently effective.

It keeps the primary clipboard clear, so it should also work for non-GTK applications.

Maybe, but the Go authors never banned people expressing disagreement or people forking the compiler or the tools.

Almost all programming languages have features being asked by the community and not available as soon as one would hope. Modules in C++. Value types in Java. Removing the GIL in Python. Parallelism in OCaml. Higher kinded types in Rust. Etc.

And most of the time there are pros and cons to adding these features or not, which sometimes evolve in a debate fracturing the community. It even happened to the otherwise peaceful Python community with Guido quitting after the decision of assignment expression: “Now that PEP 572 is done, I don’t ever want to have to fight so hard for a PEP and find that so many people despise my decisions.”
Please stop posting like this to HN. It's tedious ideological boilerplate, not curious conversation.

During 8 bit days, all games that mattered were written in Assembly.

During the 16 bit days, Pascal, Basic, C, Modula-2, AMOS were the "Unity" of early 90's game developers, with serious games still being written in Assembly.

The switch to C occurred much later at the end of MS-DOS lifetime, when 386 and 486 were widespread enough, thanks success like Doom and Abrash books.

Easy to check from pouet, hugi, breakout, Assembly or GDC postmortem archives.
What do you need and expect? I have never needed more than VNC offers, but I also don't play games on a remote computer or view videos over that connection.
You have snipped the first part of my message. This is what I said:

> git-bug has this nice section on how they implemented CRDTs using git, so everyone can comment at once at there are no conflicts. BE, on the other hand, seem to have no mention of such thing? In fact, I think they assume single central bug repository per project, on some server which handles email submission (how else can one implement debian bugtracker-style email interface?)

So, here is git-bug talking about multiple submissions: [0]. It talks about how to order messages and resolve conflicts in decentralized fashion.

Does BE has anything like this? What happens if two people try to claim a bug or change severity to different values? The manual certainly does not tell. When I looked at the bugtracker for BE itself, looks like they don't have any special handling of this, and concurrent PRs will conflict. And for comments, we just use timestamps and don't try to have consistent ordering in any way (

In fact, I think the very next paragraph in your link nicely illustrates how "decentralized" they are. This is what they say:

> If you have any problems with BE, you can look for matching bugs:
> $ be --repo http://bugs.bugseverywhere.org/ list

You know that this URL is? This is a primary BE bugs server. It is not using git, hg or any other decentralized protocol -- it is just good old centralized file storage.

Even their model -- storing bugs in the main branch -- prevents decentralization, as ability to file bugs (usually granted to everyone) requires ability to commit to master (usually restricted).

So yes, they claim things on the page, but they don't expect true decentralized operation, just a one way mirror.

Even if this would work in rich countries, this is not a realistic option for people in poor countries. They do not have the money to wait in isolation for the next 3 months.
Seems like part of it would be to ensure that you will always be training new pilots.

If you have a lot of 'comfortable' pilots, you have less need to do the training, so when you fight a war and start losing pilots, you have less bandwidth to create new ones.

So there's a couple of things:

You could always recall and retrain the ones you've released if you're low on pilots, that's pretty straightforward for a wartime government if they're desperate.

It is much harder to scale the recruiting / training pipeline if it is insufficient to comfortably replace the losses you're taking. So you run your pipeline at a higher rate than necessary so that in wartime you can maintain your forces.

I think this also explains why the US would allow Boeing to sell things like advanced air-force fighters to other countries. At the surface, it makes no sense to give away your best stuff to another country. But if you think about it, it lets you run your pipeline at a higher rate, and the other guy can't replace his stuff when it starts getting blown up, you get priority. So you get to run at closer to a wartime production rate, with maintenance subsidized by other countries.

It may be cheaper to do the pilot training another way, but the last thing you want is to end up with a shortage of pilots when you actually end up needing them. It is not about cost so much as it is about winning wars and the supply chain therin.

I suspect a lot of countries don't have this policy because they have a grand total of 22 planes and no way to replace them, so if they get blown up there's nothing for new pilots to fly.

tldr; think about them resources that get expended and that you will inevitably have to create more of, rather than as highly skilled professionals
But, given that this was not a randomized trial, and was given on a compassionate use basis, we don't know whether...

A) This is better than expected because doctors and families only elected to use this for patients who were otherwise MORE likely to die.

B) This is worse than expected because doctors and families only elected to use this for patients who more likely than not to survive.

C) This result is meaningless because there's too much noise in who was given the drug and who was not.
I think the real interesting private sector utility will come from implementations of the contact-tracing map instead of just the bluetooth app (which there will likely be "official" ones or ones being worked on directly by Google/Apple themselves).
Well, there's also a significant rate of adoption in Brazil. US domains await support from Godaddy et. al., with Godaddy recently announcing that DNSSEC will be available as a standard offering, not just a premium option. Adoption barriers still exist, but are falling.

I am not expecting miracles overnight, but I'm patiently playing the long game, and not too worried about the past or the status quo.
None of the car manufacturers have experience with turbine manufacture (except I guess Rolls Royce, and they don't build Hybrids).

The Hybrid system was already a pretty big ask for the car companies and developing a novel compact hardy turbine at the same time was just too much. Plus hybrids are seen as more of a stepping stone to pure electric vehicles so you might put a ton of time and energy into developing it only to have the entire concept become obsolete in only a few years.

Don't be too sad though, turbine technology does live on, the M1A1 and M1A2 Abrams main battle tank. It's the reason for the incredible land speed but also ridiculous fuel consumption and enormous IR signature.
Clojure doesn't really have frameworks, though. Every once in a while a framework-like-thing emerges but it quickly decomposes into a few libraries. The level of composition tends to be functions not objects, so there aren't any "taxonomy traps" associated with monolithic things in the OO world.
> I see it is Clojure (not ClojureScript)

Nope, the source code is full of of both ClojureScript and Clojure.
For reference...

"Results Of the 15 757 patients admitted, a total of 5183 (33%) received mechanical ventilation for a mean (SD) duration of 5.9 (7.2) days. The mean (SD) length of stay in the intensive care unit was 11.2 (13.7) days. Overall mortality rate in the intensive care unit was 30.7% (1590 patients) for the entire population, 52% (120) in patients who received ventilation because of acute respiratory distress syndrome, and 22% (115) in patients who received ventilation for an exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Survival of unselected patients receiving mechanical ventilation for more than 12 hours was 69%. The main conditions independently associated with increased mortality were (1) factors present at the start of mechanical ventilation (odds ratio [OR], 2.98; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.44-3.63; P<.001 for coma), (2) factors related to patient management (OR, 3.67; 95% CI, 2.02-6.66; P<.001 for plateau airway pressure >35 cm H2O), and (3) developments occurring over the course of mechanical ventilation (OR, 8.71; 95% CI, 5.44-13.94; P<.001 for ratio of PaO2 to fraction of inspired oxygen <100).

"Conclusion Survival among mechanically ventilated patients depends not only on the factors present at the start of mechanical ventilation, but also on the development of complications and patient management in the intensive care unit."

The further you get the cases down, the slower the spread when things open back up, especially if it gives you time to ramp up other mitigations like PPE and test production during the lockdown to bring the R0 value down significantly.

Even after quarantine is over, it will be a slow ramp for many sectors. Small (hopefully very small) outbreaks will continue to occur, so people will be afraid. Restaurants will be less than a third full. Nobody will want to go to the movies. Crowds will be avoided.
