I think people are easy to underestimate the cost of building and maintaining a new piece of software. I mean yeah you can set up an ELK stack (just as an example) on your own hardware / cloud easily enough, but what will it cost in the long run? How many people will spend how much time on it? Or how many people will end up having to spread their attention between the core objective of your business and managing the ELK stack and other services you decided to build / operate yourself?
Looks particularly pretty and mostly adorable but I'm not sure it is going to be as legible as cyrilic (which works is the same as latin, just a little bit different), even after a lot of practice. Needless to say it's not going to be nearly as handy for the modern digital world. This way one can hardly be sure the cultural value of this move is enough to outweigh the practical aspect.
But also I think that it's tiresome for people without background in study of disease (or long experience like Bill Gates) to get involved. Not only this but it can be dangerous with any area like diseases.

This is the same as problem that you see in the White House of America with this son-in-law of president. Systrom has no experience with infectious diseases or study of diseases (or I did not hear about it yet and he does not say about it), and human society needs very much people who are experts right now.

Maybe Systrom could also use tech to help as this is his area of expertise.
> Heck, given that universities prep kids these days for google style leetcode interviews while a senior dev lacks the time for full time prep, junior devs are likely to do better on it.

This depends on what the exercise tests. For datastructures and algorithms, yes maybe.

We use a test where the most advanced data structures you will likely use are dictionaries and sets, and even those aren't necessary. The main thing the exercise tests is how do you structure a chunk of non-trivial business logic such that other engineers can understand it and reliably contribute to it.

We assess this through code review, looking at the architecture and abstractions used.
Manufacturing can't ramp up overnight, but supply can increase overnight due to gouging because:

1. people won't buy what they don't really need, leaving more for others

2. people will become motivated to sell their surplus supply rather than hoarding it

Further helping things is demand will be reduced due to gouging because people:

1. will not be motivated to buy and hoard

2. will not buy for frivolous purposes

Trying to force companies to produce more at a fixed price is less effective than enticing them to via making more money. An economy cannot be run on altruistic impulses.

The history is a bit more detailed than that. The traditional script is derived from the Old Uyghur alphabet, widespread at the time in the region, by a captured man when Genghis Khan defeated Naimans, so adopting it is a direct result of establishing the Mongol Empire and its colonies, Rus' being one of them. (and was necessary to run the empire, because the Mongols didn't have writing before that). Chinese Evenks still use this script since these times, for example.

>I do wonder how easy it will be for the whole nation to switch from one alphabet to another when they're so drastically different.

The software support is more concerning than that, I guess. The traditional script is being taught in schools, and is often used along with Cyrillic. The idea of returning to it is not new either. In Inner Mongolia, its use is obligatory in many cases.

Hat's off on your 25 years!

Some of us are doing crazy stack switches mid-carrier, so maintaining a bubble around us can be a difficult option. I remember being day-in-day-out in Eclipse doing Java, and switching to a different stack meant throwing it all through the window and finding out what were the most optimized tools for the new set of tasks that will be done hundreds of time a day.

I see the same thing happening with people switching away from iOS dev for instance.

But I also agree we are in a privileged positions where on most tools we can build ourselves the layers to make it look/behave like familiar things. Especially for tools like bash or vim that purposefully change at a glacier pace compared to the rest of the stack.

I guess we usually take both approaches of learning new things to be more efficient and also building/customizing things as we see the parts where we don't want/can't change our behavior.

That's because 'e' also usually makes previous consonant softer(not in your example though, because it's a loan word I guess), so you'd have to put 'ь' everywhere then.
The point of TFA is that this sort of people exist in any profession. I can assure you there are plenty of "bad" accountants, or the taxman would not have to spend billions to review tax returns. There are plenty of "bad" lawyers, or we wouldn't have mistrials and wrongful convictions. And let's not even look at anybody involved in real-estate processes. And still, the hiring process for professions that are much more critical for everyday life than "guaranteeing cat videos download on time" is much more forgiving.
Normal static linking does not include objects that aren’t referenced. If you put every function in its own object file, then unused functions will not be linked in, regardless of how many objects files are in the library. If you have 10,000 functions in two object files, then you can link none, either, or both - all sunsets of object files, but likely many unused functions.

LTO does something more complex than just pick the right routines - it does the last few compilation/optimization stages when you run the linker. As a result, you get to inline across modules, drop some unused functions and more - however, this would only work for object files that were properly LTO compiled themselves. If you have e.g. a third party library that wasn’t LTO compiled for your specific tool chain, you are back to the “whole object file or bust” link regime.
A counterexample:

After WWII in Poland, Moscow installed a communist government in Warsaw, which promptly started implementing communist policies. One of the biggest ones was collectivization of farming - taking pieces of land and joining them into massive, state-run farms. After around 10 years of this, the studies started showing that this collectivized farming is so much less efficient than private farming (which didn't receive any subsidies!) that, if the whole country converts to it, there's a risk of nation-wide hunger. Further collectivization was stopped shortly after, even though it was clearly against the official dogma of private property and capitalism being the root of all evil.
Comprehensive iOS and Android apps built with Flutter
Quire Mobile 5.0 brings a major improvement on the performance of both iOS and Android apps! App launches up to 2 times faster, switching between heavy projects is up to 3 times faster and navigation in a complex project is more responsive and up to 50 percent faster. We have optimized the app performance so that you can work on multiple tasks simultaneously without facing a laggy system.

Quire Mobile 5.0 now supports back to iOS 12 and Android 5 to ensure the best performance and users’ experiences.

Since day one, Quire was designed to be user-oriented and we always try to focus on the users and their needs for a productivity app. Not only do we want Quire to have the most simple and intuitive interface, but we also want our users to experience the most effective workflow that helps them actually get things done.

“The new design goes beyond the basics, removes non-functional steps and frees up the limitation of our brains’ thinking process. You can quickly access and switch between tasks, projects and organizations. Every detail, every tap, every icon on the screen is carefully designed to yield the most meaningful experience to our users. If there’s a functionality that you want to use in the app, it’s already there waiting for you.”, said Jerry Chen, Senior Software Engineer at Quire. “It’s always our top priority to create the most intuitive workflow for our users to achieve their goals, and we can’t wait for everyone to try out the new version of Quire Mobile App.”

Yes, but this is about script. Some languages like Turkish and Vietnamese are doing fine adopting the foreign Latin script as Languages.

Sometimes people want/demand change in the direction of modernity too. I think during 1911 revolution in China, the people were really fed up with the system in place for centuries that they wanted it totally rid off; there was very serious discussion about adopting Esperanto as the language of the new republic.
We're very pleased with ASP.NET Zero (https://aspnetzero.com/). The best starting point for web applications I've ever found that enables faster time to market. It helped us to build web applications very fast and not dealing with repeating tasks (like user/role/permission management, localization, audit logging, multi-tenancy, UI components, exception handling system..). Its feature richness, ease of use, comprehensive documentation and good support has saved us tons of time&money.

> Neither do high prices.

Sure they do. Look at what happens when an oil refinery blows up (happens now and then). Price for gas goes up until demand matches supply. Billionaires don't hoard gas.

Gas prices fluctuate daily. This is all from matching supply with demand. The same goes for airline seats and the price of oranges. I don't think I ever pay the same price twice for oranges at the supermarket.

There is bunch of certifications available for devs and/or various scopes of technical knowledge. For some reason all of the people that I've met who are in possession of such a certificate were subpar developers in general. Same with uni degree. I've seen programming olympiad winners writing horrific stuff.

On other hand, if I to have a new guy sitting next to me tomorrow which code I will review and support... Well, I'd like to ensure somehow that I won't spend hours and hours on explaining things and that I won't get paged at the midnight because of suck trivial f-up.

What's the solution though? I can see anything but just hire the person for a week, 2, may be a month. Give them a boot camp project, observe and then make a decision.

That's what happens with lots of interns anyway...

If you are running a project like Tor Browser, that needs the highest security going, you would want:

1. Signing with an offline key, so an attacker can't make a release just by hacking the web server, and the key doesn't end up on however many hundred CDN web servers around the world.

2. Clear boundaries between releases, and a slow enough release schedule that third-party auditors can keep up.

3. Non-repudiation, so users know everyone else saw the same version they saw.

4. Reproducible builds from code in a public repo, so third-party auditors know what was released is what they reviewed.

5. An update process that verifies 1-3 before applying an update.

These requirements are fundamentally incompatible with webapps - where a no-questions-asked software update is only a press of F5 away, by design.
Yes. Though that only shows that they can afford it, not necessarily that it's more economic than other forms of energy. Power production is highly regulated after all.

(It might very well be economically the best for them. But making that judgement requires more context.)
> That's because е is usually used to represent the same sound if it's not in the beginning of the word.

This is far from being a general rule. Your example is an exception. Consider "мера", "монета", "обмен" and so on. You cannot change "e" to "э" in these cases.
This assumes that people actually behave rationally. Do we have actual numbers on rich people buying TP during the present crisis? If most people including the rich are going to hoard anyway a rising price just transfers more money to sellers when many need it most. Worse it incentivizes people to buy for resale if the price is trending upward.

TP selling for 200% that is headed to 400% shortly is a smarter buy than most stocks.

Since people can't actually store infinite TP wouldn't all hoarders end up with the max TP they are willing to hold in a reasonable time frame after which more supply becomes available for everyone else. In the mean time most buyers haven't been wiping with leaves they expected more effort to visit more stores and ultimately settled on buying some inferior TP. It's not even clear that your suggestion would bring equilibrium faster.

If I may suggest you and a minority of others would be better served in such a situation and you are trying to construct an argument so as to justify a policy that would benefit yourself.

You see, a shell really isn't necessary to interact with a computer. The big advantage is that, as you are working on the physical laws they will be the same at any computer you will use!

Sure you can come up with "reasons" to do things differently, but, not by argument, but by fiat, I tell you that they are irrelevant and my way is strictly the better way to do things.

And that just because their stack is slower-moving. This is a problem that unfortunately is not going to be solved anytime soon, I fear. As industrial revolutions go, we are still in the "mad inventor / amateur / visionary" phase, really. It will take another 50 years before the field slows down enough to solidify into a consistent curriculum.

That's basically what personal Github accounts are, de-facto.
ROP gadgets, and data strings/buffers - you might have a printf format string to feed into system() that you wouldn’t have had otherwise and might not be able to supply with your shell code; also, ROP gadgets aren’t very unique, but often system and library calls are available in libc() or some other library; approximately 1% of programs I write needs system/exec calls - but it’s always there in libc making it easier to return to / exploit.
Yeah... Maybe we'd need to bump up the clock to exahertz to make up for the loss of precision and constant memory access. The top super computer is already at 148 petaflops, so we'd need some more headroom for general AI.

Of course, petaherz (10^15 cycles per second) is already the speed at which an electron circles around a hydrogen atom, so we may not be able to use electricity any more...
Anti-gouging laws cause sensible people to hoard at the first sign of trouble.
Yes! This has happened to me on more than one occasion, and the following 2-step process works every time:

1. Take a break, preferably a long one.

2. Code something that serves no useful purpose. Make it playful.

A language feature alone doesn't replace an ecosystem with 25 years of production experience across platforms that aren't even supported by Go.

After getting generics, Go still needs to offer JFR/JMX/VisualVM like monitoring and dynamic code loading capabilities (Go plugins are very limited), JEE/Spring like Web tooling, Liferay/AEM/Magnolia like CMSs, an OS of its own and real time GC, card chips, M2M hardware gateways, printer enterprise configuration appps, and plenty of other use cases that many on HN seem unaware of its existence in enterprise scenarios.

Screen monitors you can buy for 100usd. I'm not sure every person in office has a standing desk, but ok, you can buy a cheap Ikea one for 100usd.

The rest you mentioned is under 100usd. You can use your phone camera and mic just fine.

I'm not sure where the thousands of dollars are coming from... You can if choose buy a monitor for 3000, but a 100 monitor is good enough.
I only used RGB and 8 bits per channel in the example.

My argument was more general.
Worth mentioning that engineers often build proprietary solutions with proprietary tools and methods. So, while there are a lot of solutions that can be licensed and modified for a use case, the guy or gal building, say, Cisco's WebEx platform can't transfer their skills as readily as the guy or gal deploying, securing and maintaining it within a company.

So much of your work has insane barriers to entry, even for internships, that I'm surprised your roles don't come with one or two assistants to manage the mundane business of scheduling meetings, filtering emails, and planning deadlines around out of office time.

I got my BS in Cybersecurity, and after a few interviews, I nope-d out of IT as a whole. They'd post preferred certs on the job description (like CCNA) only to ask why I wasn't a CCNP during the first or second interview. Or they'd debate whether some other candidate with a CompTIA cert was better prepared for the $15/hr. internship. And I'm nowhere near the specialization of most engineers.

Awesome, awesome work, but it takes a ton of grit to get your foot in the door, and even more grit to switch jobs.
But don’t assume it is a security perimeter, mostly because the docket developers don’t.

Other people think the concept of price controls is tied to morals when it comes to minimum wages.

When you consider our democratic system it becomes pretty obvious. You need slightly more than 50% of the votes. So the minimum wage is picked so that at least 50% of the population earns more than it. Therefore by definition a minimum wage chosen by politicians is going to set it to a really low value that will then be associated with poorer people. Therefore the minimum wage gains a reputation of helping poorer people.

But at the end of the day it's just a price control. Minimum wage has nothing to do with morals. It's just a rule that says who can or can't have a job. It doesn't actually give people a minimum wage job. You can set it high or low. If it is too low then it does nothing. If it is too high then it prevents people from getting a job. The minimum wage must always follow the market, because the market won't follow the minimum wage.
Sort-of. My aim was to suggest looking at natural clusters of similar shades.

You can map those clusters into RGB space. Or other colour spaces.

Technically you are correct, but I don't think that's what the colour-namers are going for.
Posted earlier in the discussion, the Mongolian President's website works well for me, in Firefox on Linux.

The mouse scroll scrolls right, selecting text works (with a horizontal cursor), the western text (dates, numbers and "Covid-19") embedded in the text are appropriately rotated.

"View source" shows the source text, and it doesn't look like there are any nasty tricks to support this.

> Everyone who works on the front lines of providing care to COVID patients is a first responder, and whether they or their employers pay, is irrelevant.

I bet it's relevant to them.

> It is the moral imperative of leadership to do what it takes to resolve the situation now, and figure out the details later.

But what does that even mean? Suppose Donald Trump is suddenly made owner of all PPE. How is he qualified to allocate it efficiently? What does someone do who legitimately needs it but didn't make his list?

> Not to mention, I've always said we need more expensive health insurance in America.

You need more healthcare during a pandemic. It costs money. It has to come from somewhere.

> It could therefore create a national stockpile of gear first responders might need in a pandemic, and fill it at contracted prices.

And then go several years without a pandemic at which point the stockpile will either have rotted or been cut from the budget as "unnecessary" before the next one.

This is the type of problem where you want redundancies. The government can try to keep a stockpile and you still want private stockpiles in case they fail or are insufficient -- as has obviously happened. It's not like this is the first ever pandemic in the world that no one could have ever foreseen. What is going to cause them to do any better next time?

> As they have done with oil. And helium. And raisins.

The strategic petroleum reserve is some kind of a silly farce. Oil is a global commodity and the US is a major producer. The reserve exists entirely as a result of politics, it isn't really useful for much.

The "helium reserve" exists primarily because the government is a major producer of the stuff. Nearly all the helium on earth is a product of nuclear reactors.

And the "strategic raisin reserve" (insert eyeroll) was recently found unconstitutional.
