I never interviewed people. Waste of time. I set my place up so it was impossible to fail, like shopping at a supermarket, and opened the flood gates. Place was awesome until the money got scared.

Today I ask for a quote, and often find myself just giving things away and moving away. I really really don't care about money.
They are earning their market share by providing better service than other retailers. That's how it's supposed to work.
According to your link, they constitute only 3% of US emissions.
Delivery and curbside pickup require more employees than the traditional method of customers picking their groceries from the shelves. The grocery stores simply don't have enough employees to serve all their customers if they only do delivery and curbside pickup.
woah, TransferWise transparency is no joke!
Ask HN: How have you automated parts of your personal life?

It appears the OP's quote was from "The Living Series"
"What was your point, with "he then just replies with a one liner, his bank account number"?"

That I am not criticizing the inkscape devs, for having implemented such a bad text support. They had other priorities and people like me, who would have liked it, did not pay enough money, to have it implemented. Simple as that. So the other comment was not neccesary.
That's not YouTube's job. Just as it's not a theater owner's job to forbid product placement in movies. Remember Pepsi in WWZ?
Unfortunately, the best solution is for you to move to a more densely populated area. Not necessarily to a mega-expensive city—although we should make those more accessible too—but somewhere close enough that you don't need air travel to get treatment. And there should be social programs that can make this financially possible.

It would totally suck for you, I realize that. Unfortunately, our society simply cannot continue on as it has. We either change now, proactively, or we change after the climate catastrophe has forced our hand. Under the latter scenario, the change will be much worse.

(We should also make healthcare accessible in more places, but it sounds like your needs are highly specialized. There are some treatments we cannot realistically provide everywhere.)
Really? That's encouraging. I thought we're heading into some ironic dark enlightenment horseshoe of blackboxiness where the only artificial intelligence that works is as inscrutable as the natural intelligence it was meant to compete with.
Sorry but "practice what you preach" isn't a valid response to talking about systemic issues.

Is that true? The compiler is being explicitly instructed to (try to) detect undefined behavior where it happens. This is the difference between tools like UBSan and tools like Valgrind. Valgrind is low-level, it’s a virtual x86, so the optimizer runs first. UBSan is high-level, it instruments the code using the compiler, and presumably the compiler can be directed to preserve the instrumentation.
They aren't replacing taxis, they are replacing cars.

Unless you want to own a specific speciality car (Ferrari, Jeep, etc), Waymo eliminates the need for you to buy one. It's Uber but without the overhead of paying a person, which means price could normalize so close to the actual operating expenses of the vehicle that it just doesn't make financial sense to use anything else.

Ultimately we need fewer people in order to preserve the natural world. We can start by disincentivizing and de-emphasizing growth.
Flagged for misleading click-bait stupidity in the headline.

Yes, of course you can do if conversion. The exponential increase in execution time is the wrench I was talking about ;).
Actually, Love2D is for used mobile as well. Both android and iOS is supported and there are community ports for other platforms
I understand, which is why I'm advocating closing down the cash registers to shunt staff into serving delivery and pickup orders.

We shouldn't be incentivizing the population to pack into a single building because we're fetishizing the ritual of going to the checkout line. The checkout line should be lowest priority for staffing.
To me, this demonstrates how one can completely understand something at the abstract level, but so easily "forget" when working at the object level, even when the object level discussions are related to an article about the abstract concept.

The various forms of communication between humans are chock full of opportunities for error, and I doubt there's many people that would deny it, but when a conversation is occurring at the object/instance level, and an instance of one of these abstract errors occur, enthusiasm for acknowledging it generally seems to have diminished significantly.

I think it would be incredibly useful if we could find a way to overcome this issue, kind of like error correction in TCP, but for human communication, or even discuss the notion.

Might it be interesting and fun, and maybe even yield practically useful ideas, if now and then HN was to experiment with taking an instance of one of these abstract problems we discuss every day (this one, nuclear power, climate change, wealth disparity, political polarization, etc), and rather than having our normal casual conversations (the contents of which often appear in thread after thread), instead approach it from an engineering perspective, crowdsourcing various ideas for both the diagnosis/analysis of the problem, as well as solutions (including implementation, where possible)?
So, they did submit a PR (which is great!), but it wasn't acceptable to the maintainer. Other things were suggested, but none of the PRs met the requirements, and so none were accepted.
Basil is easy and forgiving.
Maybe this is Holzer's point (or maybe it's humorous), but I've come to believe that that "luxury" is one of the most dangerous things there is.

The more indirect and the slower your feedback, the easier it is to form habits and get accustomed to believing in a "reality" which is anything but reality.

I used to feel like it was better to have this luxury because who wants consequences to be swift. Doesn't that feel harsh and uncomfortable? Yes, but now I realize it's better overall. At best delayed (or dulled) consequences are like procrastination: face it now, or face it later when it's harder. And at worst, it's a path to ruin because later might be too late.

Of course you don't want to go to the other extreme. There should be a balance.
I use something very similar for mathematical homework and notes: MacVim, with a Makefile that runs Pandoc with the Eisvogel template.

I also have a script that runs fswatch to run make on save.

Didn't know about virtualedit, though: tables are going to be so much easier now.
I think people typically mean that Larry Ellison could come out and say there are no issues with incorporating CDDL code into a GPLv2 code base. Ideally in a document signed by him and lawyers at Oracle given to the Linux Foundation. If that happened I don't think people would have an issue adding ZoL to the kernel.
The article says they were ahead of the S&P 500 up through December 2019 so they weren't simply waiting around for the big one.
You're absolutely right. I just mean that TransferWise has a lot of leeway in terms of pricing policy and that the actual cost of exchange itself is marginal (as counter-intuitive it may seems)
You can run nix and home-manager on mac.
I've used both LibreOffice and Inkscape enough to know that Inkscape is very capable of doing complex and detailed work. If you have a design process then you can make Inkscape work into that fairly easily. I know UI designers that are not able to take advantage of Inkscape's freedom however that speaks more to their innate curiosity and creativity than Inkscape's capabilities.

We made our original CPU&ISA emulator over TFHE.
https://github.com/virtualsecureplatform/kvsp

Because we use chisel to write CPU and we also made LLVM backend for our original CPU, your idea is not so difficult although it may be very slow. Our original CPU is about 4K gates.
The most difficult point is building memory because it is most slow part. We used TFHE's LHE mode for it and this is one of the novel points of our work.

(We didn't know about Shape CPU but it seems to be similar to FURISC, which is published and using libScarab.https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/699)

I use Illustrator professionally. Some of these things may have changed since I last looked at Inkscape but I found it to be lacking in these features that are core to my workflow:

* support for CMYK work, as well as spot colors, and the whole dark art of color profiles - last I checked Inkscape was RGB-only and there are things involved in professional printing that you simply cannot do without CMYK and spot support

* global color swatches (change the swatch, everything you drew with it changes to match)

Also having 20y of Illustrator files on my hard drive that I regularly pull elements and appearance stacks out of for reuse is a compelling argument for me to stick with AI.

No it's not. Nobody is debating this. Even if people were, it's literally impossible to enforce so it doesn't matter (unless your moral conscience is influenced by the law)

At this point, everyone should have accumulated a two week buffer of food and water. A week of foresight isn't a terribly onerous ask.
I'm truly sorry to hear about your health issues and the lack of resources available to you.

Of course I would like to see better healthcare available to everyone as well. Can't we focus our attention on making healthcare (even specialized treatments like yours) more accessible and affordable, instead of artificially propping up a massively wasteful industry in perpetuity?
What a very 'interesting' name for a project that is an integrated and consistent Javascript toolchain that aims to replace existing third party libraries and tools. It may be too early to see if this is a good idea or not but who knows, at least no one can say that this was built in a day.

There are many large cities in the Midwest. Flying to California/Massachusetts implies that the problem is a rare disease, not that it's a population density issue.

Here's the actual study: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.08.20057794v...

ZDnet title seems a bit off, as first factor in their decision tree is age, not obesity. Also, this doesn't appear to attempt to unwind causation vs correlation. As I read it, it's just, if you could only ask a few questions to make your decision, what should you ask first? Useful for admitting, but probably less so for understanding what's actually going on.

Looking at the numbers in the paper, high blood pressure, for example, seems like a powerful predictor of problems. Presumably that's captured by the obesity question, even though those two conditions are only partially correlated.

Also interesting is that they don't see race as a factor. Other reports seem to indicate that African Americans are doing significantly worse.
It's all over the map.

Some of my orders have come on a normal timeline. Others have been sitting in "waiting to ship" for weeks. Another was entirely canceled by Amazon without explanation.
Part of the reason you can get stuff done fast is precisely because you're not part of the company. The 'you should come work here full time' scenarios almost never seem to really get that point. The moment you come on 'full time', their perception of you changes, expectations of you change, and you're rarely likely to deliver what you could because of these changes.
I don't follow.

I don't know if I am unable to follow because this is so simple it's obvious only after it is explained or if I am too simple to understand first think out of the gate.

To gamble that it is the former, may I hear an explanation?
I don't think anyone disagrees that the interface is less than perfect for them. And there is no one ideal user interface for everyone.

That's how software goes, it's a conglomeration of all the features for all of it's myriad of uses. What would benefit one use case might be detrimental for another, and no one UI/UX developer is going to be able to fathom all of those different use cases or conceptualize a UI that's ideally suited for them all.

What you do often get with dedicated resources is a direction drive and clarity of vision that is not in line with what everyone wants and their UI/UX ends up driving people away.

I don't use half of what Inkscape has to offer and I use Inkscape for two very distinct and very different use cases. And for both of those use cases Inkscape is far and away the best piece of software.

For web development, Inkscape is my go to SVG editor. I don't use it as a vector drawing tool at all, if the drawing and filter capabilities went away it wouldn't matter much to me. But the ability to quickly manipulate canvas sizes, add and remove objects, and tweak paths is essential.

When I use Inkscape as part of a CAD/CAM solution engraving, the use case and what UI/UX elements are important is completely different than when I'm optimizing SVG Assets for the web. Certain UI/UX elements I require as a web developer could vanish and I wouldn't care as a CNC operator.

I'm reasonably certain that much of what I value in Inkscape isn't of much use to someone who is producing vector art.

You assume these companies are just throwing random costs at things because they can. I assure you they've A/B tested the hell out of what will maximize usage. Turns out, the population is cheap AF. Imagine, in a consumer pays the cost model, they see DoorDash charges $10 for this delivery, on a $15 meal, instead of today seeing $3.99 delivery fee, $1 service fee, and then on the back end charges the restaurant $5 from the $15 item.

That doesn't even account for the driver fee that brought you the food. So if you really want to be fair and charge the customer, you're looking at $15 on a $15 meal. Consumers would most definitely reject that.

The reality is these high end delivery services cost a ton to run and they've come up with clever ways to obfuscate the real cost to avoid being punished in the market. I 100% support what SF is trying to do here, but honestly, this is no different than what cell phone companies and cable operators have been doing for the last 20 years. It'll take an active investigation from the FTC to change their ways and I hope we see that followed up on at some point.
I think that this Pandemic might be just enough to shake up sales culture. For quite a while we've semi-illogically held on to in person sales being a premium experience - instead of salesmen being able to dial in and demo something remotely they'll be flown around from office to office to show it off in person. They do this because it works, because western culture values that "personal touch" and it actually pays for the price of flying these folks around.

I am hoping that we can at least ditch the majority of business related flights when we come through this crisis as that alone would really dampen air flight volume.
Fair point, will try to make the subscription option give back percentages to the publishers to help them deal with adblocker by letting them claim it. If this is something you're into, lmk!
> The problem is not availability of cheap airline tickets, it's availability of healthcare.

If we're talking about a rare disease, there is no solution other than moving to one of the few specialist centers in the world if air travel goes away.
I'm on Android 8.1. When turning off Bluetooth the entire Bluetooth menu showing previously paired devices changes to just show the string "When Bluetooth is turned on, your device can communicate with other nearby Bluetooth devices. To improve location accuracy, system apps and services can still detect Bluetooth devices. You can change this setting in _scanning settings_[link to the associated settings page]".

I don't see how this is fooling the user. Its pretty direct in stating what's happening and provides a link directly to the additional settings.
How would we make specialized healthcare more locally accessible? By flying specialist doctors and equipment in from the coasts when needed?
From experience, as I said, I had bitrot on EXT4, with carefully versioned backups, but it didn't help, since the bitrot was just faithfully propagated through all the backups (I didn't have 5+ year backups - who knows when the bitrot occurred).

And I haven't experienced file corruption in the 5+ years I've used ZFS. Of course, ZFS isn't a magic bullet that solves all ills, but I've been very happy with it. I still, of course, have multiple backups of important data, but now I'm more confident about the integrity of those backups.
This. The fundamentals of the USPS are fine, they're only struggling artificially due to being placed in an impossible situation by Congress[1]. The short of it:

1. Congress required the USPS to fully pre-fund their retirement benefits (pension and healthcare obligations). A requirement Congres has neither placed on the public sector nor any other organization under Congressional control.

2. USPS pricing is controlled by Congress. Congress has refused to increase postage prices to allow for funding the above mandate.

3. USPS can't reconcile the two above line items, and continually defaults on a large chunk of their pension obligations each year.

4. #3 becomes periodic media and political fodder to push an agenda at privatizing the USPS (or filler for a slow news day).

This implies that you will, at some point, be charging a fee to remove revenue from other sites. Does this not border on unethical business practice?
Stay-at-home orders (dine-in not allowed, takeout discouraged) gave the delivery apps way too much buying power over restaurants. The market isn't free because restaurants can't really choose their customers anymore, so it makes sense to have safeguards.

"Pretty soon, as the country begins to figure out how we “open back up” and move forward, very powerful forces will try to convince us all to get back to normal. (That never happened. What are you talking about?) Billions of dollars will be spent on advertising, messaging, and television and media content to make you feel comfortable again. It will come in the traditional forms — a billboard here, a hundred commercials there — and in new-media forms: a 2020–2021 generation of memes to remind you that what you want again is normalcy."
