Do not believe Reddit's view of what the Scots think is their favourite word. (grew up in Scotland, 1960s-1970s) The C-word is not actually that common. (I don't mean "chips")

However, if you learn a word from reading the immortal words of D.C.Thompson's "Oor Wullie" or "the Broons" It may or may not reflect reality. To my mind, nobody used "jings" un-ironically but an older generation did use "braw" in its true sense. And the adjective "wee" is heavily used. As in "wee dram" which means "DO NOT STOP POURING THE BOTTLE UNTIL I SAY SO"

On DOS, there's mtcp's ircjr.

On AmigaOS, amirc (which many clients cloned the UI of) and wookiechat.

Even kolibriOS ships an irc client.

It's a nice, simple protocol that's human readable and imposes very little overhead on the clients.

You can add a centimeter or so of thickness and get perfectly adequate cooling for high power parts - look at all the gaming laptops for an example of this (if you can get past the godawful visual design).

This isn't a "laptops" issue, this is an "ultra thin" issue. Trouble is most people only want to buy ultra thin laptops and don't realize that that super powerful 8 core cpu isn't any faster than a much less expensive one when there isn't adequate cooling.

Reminds me of SpaceX. everytime I see their BF metal tank blow up, I’m like “yasssss progress”.

I absolutely believe that SpaceX will land a human on Mars in our lifetime. Not sure how long they’ll survive and whether a colony is possible but they’ll definitely make it way cheaper to send shit to mars/moon than it is today.

Also I’m bullish that we’ll make big breakthroughs in DNA and protein folding/interaction understanding. Building with the same molecular machines of life opens up so many possibilities.

No, it is kind of what I'm saying. More hamfisted than I'd like, maybe, but along the right lines.

My point is that an extra layer of in-house code is an extra layer to build and maintain, even if it doesn't do anything meaningful. Ideally it could be eliminated altogether, but automatically generating it still relieves most of the development overhead.
If the actual functionality is dependent upon Tesla’s systems, sure. Otherwise you’re just enabling a jailbreak market. There’s even precedent for this with Malone tuning.
Sure, there are situations where Face ID is preferable, but I have to agree with the parent commenter here. The situations where my phone lies flat on the table but can’t be unlocked without me picking it up or moving in position for the camera to recognize me significantly outnumber the occasions where gloves or wet hands prevent me from unlocking my device. It’s not close at all.

Touch ID is much more convenient and reliable in my opinion.
Yes, she's authoritarian. She supported the Clipper Chip, along with Al Gore. Which is one of the reasons why he lost to Bush.
In what ways does it seems the motivations and goals have changed? I’m particularly interested in this as I just rejoined YC as a partner after running a startup for five years. I first joined as a partner 10 years ago.

Is YC cutting prices? Is the new YC deal $150k for 4%?

The article suggests that YC is reducing its stake to 4%, however the quotes presented don’t seem to be really saying that.

I’m not sure if this story is a technical announcement about how they handle pro rata, or an updated version of the YC Deal for newly admitted startups?

No, the opposite. Every other investor wins because they can invest more $$$ and own a bigger % of the company. Before, YC had a right to maintain its 7% stake, leaving less room for new investors to acquire ownership.
> Knowing that it will be very very hard to convince every Erlang developer in the world to format their code in the same way, we aimed at a more humble goal: To convince every Erlang developer in the world to format their code with the same tool.

I work at a primarily C# shop. One day we decided that our coding standards needed updating. So off went my team mate/architect and spent a whole month on that fucking nonsense. Nobody was completely happy at the end of that process.

Knobs and settings for code formatters are antifeatures that lead to talented people solving (and arguing about) antiproblems. Manually formatting code is probably a more worthwhile task than arguing about how formatting should be done. If there's an Erlang developer who doesn't care for the "one true way," I say let them manually format and nit PRs.

I'm doing `cargo fmt --all` right now and it sometimes does this thing where it removes a blank line between methods. I've really stopped caring, I let it do that slightly inferior formatting. My code is idiomatic, anyone can approach it (not just my team), problem solved, I get to work on real problems.
That's a useless bar. Most of the vilest people in history thought their own acts 'good'.

Three things to remember when migrating servers to Azure
this is how a virus can be of innocuous character then suddenly shift to something that is quite problematic.
this can occur spontaneously as per wobbly fit and frameshift, >or< it [frameshift] can be anticipated and a sequence engineered that will be of no concern for most of the time until a frameshift occurs by chance and results in a product that has lethal character.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frameshift_mutation

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_reading_frame

this can be quite natural, and it can also be an insidious method of engineering a virus that starts out as nothing of obvious concern but becomes a weapon by chance after a sufficient number of reproductive events.
I think it's a matter of opinion that the investigative journalist (which is what a security researcher is akin to) can use their best judgment in making. I think the video, right there, of the people walking into their apartment, makes the whole nefarious agenda so much more visceral. OK, maybe they are a cheating couple who will be discovered by their partners or whatever... but I think the tradeoffs are worth it especially given that the media also applied their filter of blurring the faces.
You are free to swear such an oath right now. No one is keeping you.

I don't think surgical masks should be purchased by non-medical staff. Doctors and nurses need this equipment and our supplies are really low. Please leave surgical masks for hospital staff and make yourselves cloth alternatives.
Well that's a beautiful comment and might change my perspective on things. Thanks.
>The issue with Covid was that we were unprepared for it - hospitals did not have adequate amounts of supplies and equipment to handle the sudden spike in admitted patients.

What hospitals are you referring to?

Are you aware of any patients in the US that have been denied hospital beds, ventilators, etc.?

There seems to be a confusion between the anticipated crisis, and the reality on the ground. Even in NYC, I'm not aware of any hospital system needing to turn patients covid patients away.

I don't understand why the iPhone CPU thing was such a big deal. It's a perfectly sane power management feature. Apple had to choose between two options:

A. Devices lose battery life per charge over time, eventually powering off randomly because not enough power can be supplied to run the hardware.

B. Devices throttle their CPU over time to keep battery life per charge relatively stable, and avoid powering off.

Apple chose B.

I also don't understand the people who are so upset that Apple didn't say anything - any hardware/software company will make thousands of little tradeoffs like this during R&D, they can't be expected to publicly announce every time they make a decision during development.
Actually compared to many other countries Sweden did have community spread significantly later (10 days or so if I remember correctly). Also Sweden has large variations within the country, Stockholm was really a week or so ahead of everyone else
With Erlang releases (compiled code with the Erlang runtime included) you can do hot code swapping to change the code while it’s still running.

And iirc I believe LiveView will have all the state necessary client-side to be able to reconstruct the session when reconnecting the socket. I’m not near my development machine to make sure on that one though.
While the parent post might appear dismissive, I've found that strength training is indeed the best way to improve posture. Once you learn to lift weights in good form, the body tends to naturally stay in good posture even when you are not doing your exercises. I've found that no amount of conscious effort to observe oneself and maintain good posture is even remotely as good as just doing exercises to strengthen one's body. Of course, mobility and flexibility help too and I'm assuming one is doing enough stretching as a good way to cool down after the exercises.
I'm typing this all from memory so I might be wrong, but the short answer is that gen_tcp:recv/2 is a blocking call. There is a private API called prim_inet:async_recv which is async, and ironically gen_tcp builds on it. There have been attempts writing experimental HTTP servers using prim_inet:async_recv which have much better performance,

They are not that slim nor very beautiful, but gaming laptops can handle serious workloads for a long time. And many of them have a feature to stay silent with lower performances. They actually have a much better cooling system, but it's heavier and more expensive.
Brave mobile doesn't allow extensions/addons, so your only bet on Android is Firefox. If you're on iOS, IIRC Firefox on iOS doesn't support extensions, so tough luck ;_;
Bingo. Consider this in the context of the "bake my cake bigot!" debate. It is really disturbing, the glee with which some have adopted the "private companies can do what they want" in defense of censorship. While the US government has certainly come close to wrecking the internet in the past (see 90s moral panic staring Tipper Gore), there is at least the possibility for transparent accountability. Most people have no idea how bad things could get under the present arrangement, with self restraint being the only thing standing in the way. Debanking, early crypto folks know what I'm talking about.
And now look at how many TLDs we have.
Diamond princess skewed heavily towards an older age population, as did some of the hardest hit cities in Italy like Lombardi etc. To counter your point, there isn't any evidence to infer an IFR or 0.5-1% either. We simply don't know given the lack of antibodies testing in a randomized population set that's adequately representative of the right demographics in a given location (say NYC).

A friend and I were having a tangentially related conversation about net-healthy processes that could theoretically be mandated during a pandemic and their effects on the populace at large.

Putting everyone on a daily fitness regimen would almost certainly save lives, even outside of our current pandemic. Likewise, if things got bad enough that grocery stores had to close and the national guard / army / gov were called in to deliver daily rations to households, I wonder what kind of effect that'd have on the country's obesity problem long-term, also.

Ignoring the completely dystopic dictatorship and near-apocalyptic context that'd be required for such a scenario, of course.

When looking at a single region like Bergamo, the death toll is four times higher than normal... Absolutely nothing like a normal flu season spike. See graph in http://archive.is/AaJ76

If you look at the euromomo information for a country it is averaged across all regions, that includes those regions that started lockdown before severe outbreak, so the spike averages down to be small. I.e. you can’t look at the country info and make conclusions about the severity of the disease.

As far as form letters go it's not too bad ... but I thought this was surprisingly frank and undermined any note of reason she was trying to strike:

> Media reports, however, make it clear that ....

So she admits they had no basis for these laws other than some news articles? It seems crazy they'd shift fundamental aspects of how the internet works with no more basis than some media reports.
>Sure, but in all of those countries health care insurers are incredibly tightly controlled...

Insurance companies in the US are also "incredibly tightly controlled". Regulations even specify amounts that can be spent on patient care, administration etc. Health insurers are the only segment of the health care sector in the US where profits are directly limited.

>Which is why the state can and will fund hospitals directly after this crisis.

I don't think that has anything to do with it.

> You'll also have those people that crush the database with poorly optimized queries. GraphQL lets me choose what queries I allow, so no one can lock the database for an hour doing something insane. SQL doesn't give you a lot of tools for that; especially not when some people are supposed to be allowed to lock the database for an hour and others are not.

You don't need a lot of tools for that, but SQL gives you complete tools for it. (Including, if necessary, strictly limiting allowed queries by only authorizing certain particular roles to access a defined set of sprocs without any access to base tables or even views, which seems to be the direct equivalent of what you are suggesting with GraphQL. This is an extremely common enterprise approach.) Because RBAC is standard with SQL RDBMSs (other than embedded/single-user stores like SQLite), it's trivial to handle “some roles are restricted to pre-cleared access patterns and others have either different pre-cleared patterns or free-query access.”

> GraphQL also knows whether the query is a read or write operation;

So does SQL.

> You can sanely route read queries to replicas and pass write queries to the master.

Replicated SQL setups do this routinely.

> This is harder in SQL, and involves parsing the statements that come through. It's still doable, but again, you'll still need another layer before the SQL server to do it (pgbouncer implements this, I think).

Well, by definition to route requests to different backends you need a server separate from the backends (or, at a minimum, all but one of them, but you want it separately from all of them in practice anyway.)

Actually at least in Germany the numbers for influenza are entirely based on statistics. In particular the 25000 people died of influenza in 2017 number that is thrown around is based on looking at the usual statistics over the same period and everything above that is attributed to influenza. I think we will only have only have accurate statistics about the death rates etc in maybe a year
