WSL2 is a fantastic product. The ability to debug python code on ubuntu and alt-tab to Steam is unparalleled.

However there is a fundamental issue - Microsoft is treating this as a toy project. The number 1 problem is that the file system inside an Ubuntu shell/wsl2-container is sitting inside a hidden file system.

It is is not exposed to the rest of windows and neither to backup tools like Dropbox, etc.
So you have a huge chance of losing important documents inside a WSL2 container.
Now, you can "Cd /c/Documents" and do your work - but this filesystem is unimaginably slow. Not sure if it is because of file mounts, etc. The performance is incredibly bad.

If there are WSL2 devs here - please make the working container filesystem as a first class directory inside the rest of windows. I'll live with performance issues for a while...but this is a blocker.
Sources please!
You can start worrying about that when the economic impact caused by the restrictions kills more people than the virus would without the restrictions. Sure, unemployment can worsen mental health and cause suicide indirectly, but those numbers must be nothing compared to the deaths would be caused by the virus without the restrictions.
*don't care about anything but protecting capital
15 years ago I might've agreed with this. The current project I'm working on checks many of OP's boxes: Black, isort, flake8, mypy (although even with a strict configuration we've not had to use generic types yet), pre-commit linting hook, CI, Poetry (because Pipenv was too painful and screw pip's hatred for checksums) and pytest. And by the sound of it, OP would be more than happy to get rid of mandatory code reviews and near-100% code coverage. But the devs are happy, more importantly the client is really happy, and after two years we're still moving fast, merging several features most days with minimal regressions.

Screw the old way. It sucked.
I am in Tokyo and it's been going on longer here than many places.

Gradually increasing pressure has been the approach. It feels to me like you're right. I am willing to accept more pressure, though already burdened. It's because there's been time to adjust.
In France, where I live, there have been calls to institute a "content tax" that would be redistributed to companies that produce content. In exchange, there would be no more laws to prevent piracy. That means that torenting/reading/listening to everything would be legal whatever the means but you'd have to give the state X$/month that are then redistributed to companies based on some factors.

That could also apply to news companies or to journalists individually.

>I'm going to be downvoted for even admitting this? That's why I debated even posting. I don't like operating like this.

I think this is a case where a minority of people care very deeply, both about the core issue and about proselytizing it. The rest of us are a silent majority who, like you, are rubbed the wrong way by the whole situation but don't care enough to make a fuss.

To add to your point, here's what boggles my mind with this new CoC frenzy: you can enforce good behavior, even without a CoC.

I don't have any popular open source projects under my stewardship, but if that ever happens, I don't think I'm going to add add a CoC. This is because, in my estimation:

1. They're political tools. The people who visibly push for their widespread use tend to have a revanchist attitude with respect to diversity, inclusion and social equality. They see CoCs as a symbolic action in a turf war, not unlike spray-painting a gang symbol in an alley.

2. As you yourself have noted, it puts people on the defensive. It makes them think before posting...but for all the wrong things. It's stifling.

3. I can still ban disruptive or toxic assholes. I don't need a fake constitution to grant me those powers. See point #1.
So is the independent product review industry so broken that nobody spotted this in testing?
Great idea! I would probably use this more if you looked at the futures performance from yesterday's market close to this morning, in addition to past 1 day. The reason why is that I don't care as much about futures specifically, as I care about what they could predict for the coming market open.
May be you can say that "Trello handed over the only account you had to the previous company".

While I understand, the pain - I sympathize: please note that no permissions management system (or identity and authentication is so perfect that every case can be handled perfectly). As others say, you should have verified spent a bit of time to cleanup - because at the end - you lose time/money/whatever.

In the worst case, any company or even govt can just say sorry or some credits.

Even if the company is to blame 99 % you need to take 1 % responsibility.
What Is Embedding and How to Embed Social Media Feeds on Your Website?
Embedding refers to the integration of images, links, videos or digital media into social media posts or website. One of the common applications of embedding is include a visual element on social media post to increase clicks, but embedding also works well the other way around, by embedding links to social media on your site. The process for embed a feed or profile on your website involves building a widget and inputting its HTML code into your website code. Building of each plugin and widget vary on which platform you are looking to include. The process is simple if you have a general understanding of website coding. If you are working with the site WordPress or WIX, you can use separate widgets provided by these sites. If you’re doing it your own, I’ve outline the steps for Instagram. For Instagram: Instagram does not does not provide users with the plug-in generator. In fact Instagram only offers instructions for the users on embedding an individual post. If you’re looking to embed an entire Instagram profile or feed, you may have to work with a third party solution. Depend on which host you use, you may have an embedding tool for Instagram already built. If you use WordPress, you can use the Instagram feed plug-in, which connects your Instagram and website directly-http://kbwebdeveloper.in/what-is-embedding-and-how-to-embed-social-media-feeds-on-your-website/

I've come across so many terrible and one sided Snopes articles. This is why all the talk of 'regulating' fake news scares me more than the fake news.

Does every slant need to make their own credibility machine now too to keep up?

(Not making a statement regarding this particular link, just personal experience in other areas I'm more invested in. NYTimes went off the partisan 24hrs news cliff long ago and are just burning old reputation at this point, it's becoming old hat.)
FYI, I am not a member of Microsoft. Just a fanboy. Do not know what is worse ;)

But I agree with the statement. The presence of Product Managers, Senior Devs and high ranking managers here on HN is pretty well orchestrated. I mean makes sense.
Even if your CPU cycle budget is large, designing a realtime system requires proving thet it won't be exceeded, by adding up the worst-case running time of the worst-case sequence of events.
Avoiding high latency memory gives a few orders of magnitude of margin, which could be needed to afford good functionality on a reasonably cheap CPU; it's not a mere useless improvement from "fast enough" to "as fast as possible".

The actual scores themselves are useful though. When it says "quad core: x% faster" or "multi core FP: y% faster" that is actually fairly accurate (as accurate as a synthetic can be). People just don't like the way userbenchmark weights these numbers in the composite score ("effective speed").

It's still a very useful site for comparing niche hardware that will never get a true review - how does a J5005 compare to a i5 750? How does a Xeon E5-1650 compare to a Ryzen 1600? Probably not going to ever be directly tested. The only alternatives are things like Passmark that are much less accurate. UserBenchmark lets you compare against all kinds of niche or rare hardware at will, that's an incredibly valuable resource. Some people are just so butthurt about the "effective speed" composite scores that they can't bring themselves to scroll past a single line, which is a little ridiculous.

Generally r/AMD constantly gets their panties in a bunch about something or other, it's constant conspiracies about how this or that is a NVIDIA or Intel backed conspiracy. Don't take them too seriously.

At times they have sent death threats because they didn't like the conclusion of a review. After the initial Ryzen launch they decided that Steve from GamersNexus (among others) was an Intel shill and started threatening his family. iirc there have been other "incidents" as well.

(most of those "removed" posts are people justifying it because Steve is an Intel shill who put out a "biased review")

They really take the whole fanboy thing to a whole new level. It is practically a uniquely toxic subreddit, even among other "brand" subreddits, more like a sports team sub or something.

You can go to \\wsl$\ and it shows each wsl install as a network drive.
My understanding is that the SMR drives are like SSD to a degree that they needs rather intelligent firmware to place the information on the disk.

At the moment everything is sitting behind the bogo SATA disk interface which was never designed for this type of storage - rapid burst writes to the 20GB onboard buffer area and than very slow I/O as it is emptied out.

Surely a native OS interface would be better for these drives.

It's 3am where I am and I'm quite surprised to see this on the front page. I've already deleted one comment because I'm not in good shape to judge if it was informative or pointlessly fighty.

But I will note that I mostly wasn't hassled by the police while homeless for nearly six years. In fact, they tended to look out for my welfare to whatever degree they could without creating a conflict of interest for themselves.

One night, the police came up to our tent (I was homeless with my two adult sons) and shined a flashlight on it and ordered us to come out with our hands up. When I opened the tent and came out, they went "Oh, it's you." and promptly dropped into social worker mode, asking if I knew about various local services, etc.

They were looking for a guy named Michael who was camped in the area. He had beat up his girlfriend and she had filed a police report.

So they were pretty keyed up, expecting to deal with a violent criminal. They were quite relieved to see it was me and my sons instead.

I knew the area well and I walked them over to where Michael stayed when he camped there and also talked about paths into and out of the little valley where I was camped and what I generally knew about Michael and his habits.

I don't drink. I don't do drugs. I do remote work online which I began doing while homeless. I am not a criminal. Etc.

I'm just desperately poor because I have too many personal challenges and too few resources. And the cops mostly didn't bother me, though I certainly had a few negative experiences with them as well.

Cops are human. They aren't a monolith. Different cops behave differently from each other and the same cop can behave differently in different circumstances and with different people.

Just like any other random human on planet earth.

>This is just an observation: there are multiple species of attention-seeking internet troll who want very, very much for you to treat their absurd behavior "on a case by case basis."

In my experience the exact opposite is true. Most trolls want to argue the finer language of a CoC, and waste everyone's time in a pseudo-legal battle.

"Case-by-case" doesn't mean you have to spend a lot of time. It just means you're asking yourself "is this person being disruptive" as opposed to being compelled to argue technicalities in order to justify your actions as a moderator.
It could depend on the store.

Over here in The Netherlands, most supermarkets have, to various degrees, implemented measures to protect workers (plexiglass, timed restocking, etc.) and measures to encourage social distancing (reminders and lines on the floors, a maximum number of customers via a set number of carts and having an employee wipe down the carts and handing them out manually at the entrance, old-people-hour in the morning, etc.).

The psychology behind this is fascinating. It's not just the measures that help, but the fact that simply being handed a cart after passing through the turnstile puts me (and I suspect everyone else) in 'awareness' mode. I've noticed that I myself generally pay more attention to not hover around employees, and take a detour via a quiet aisle whenever I can.

This stands in contrast to all the non-supermarket stores I occasionally visit. aisles are narrower, they don't have a designated entrance-employee, and at best there's some A4 glued somewhere asking me to pay by card if I can. Not only is it more difficult to practice 'social distancing', I don't notice a similar change in 'mindset' and have caught myself more than once leaning over an employee or passing close by other shoppers. And interestingly, both myself and said shopper seemed to notice this less (in the supermarket I've noticed many more older customers wait intentionally for me to pass at an appropriate distance).

And that's not even considering weird situations like our local HEMA (a very popular convenience store) implementing a bunch of measures, but then if you want to go and pay for your stuff you have to pick up an unclean scanner gun for the self-checkout, essentially undoing any measures they implemented. Out of curiosity I stuck around to see if these 'guns' are cleaned. They're not.

I guess my point is that stores are trying to implement sensible measures but so far it's mostly been supermarkets that seem to do a decent job (even if there's quite a bit of variation between stores from even the same company). I imagine it's much easier for these chain-stores to both get expert advice /and/ implement measures nation-wide. For those who have serious concerns it's a good reason to avoid 'mom and pop' stores though.
Hello HN,

Often marketing and product teams want to do quick fixes to their websites - a typo here, an error there, some additions to money pages or refresh outdated information that is no longer relevant. We launched VWO Deploy help them do that quickly. With a no-code, point and click editor, your business teams can quickly edit websites by themselves. Teams wanting to relay information quickly in COVID times will find the software incredibly useful.

We've decided to launch VWO Deploy as a free product till the covid-19 pandemic lasts. Feedback from the HN community has always been helpful (Our other product, VWO Testing, got its launch here, 10 years ago). So, let us know what you think about the product.

Edit: Seagate is doing the exact same thing [0], although not confirmed for NAS drives... yet. HGST is owned by WD (although the 3.5" side apparently went to Toshiba). So that leaves Toshiba.

It sucks to have to qualify drives (again?) in small businesses, thought this was a solved problem. It's more offensive they're doing it with the smaller capacities, too.

(I should note SSDs don't stand up to manufacturer's claims in error scenarios, too. But that's fairly well known I think?)

Good faith is just as much about assuming good intent as it is about assuming genuineness. All of those statements are a far cry from “fuck everyone else.” The underlying intent could just as easily be “this can help more people.” It’s an unfair exaggeration that only serves to justify your indignation.

Kotlin is awesome language, don't get me wrong. I used it for some of my backend projects. I just don't see it overtaking Java ecosystem, it's a wishful thinking. Developers don't care about QoL improvements that much, they just follow vendor standards.

Another aspect is that JVM evolves without taking Kotlin in consideration, so there's always danger of JVM introducing a feature that won't be available in Kotlin (and JVM has several interesting developments namely Loom, Valhalla). Like it or not, Kotlin is second-class citizen on JVM. It made sense in Java 7 era, when Java development seemed stuck and Java thought to be mostly done. Times changed, Java is evolving at much faster rates (I would even say, faster than Kotlin these days).

This is about JVM, of course on Android Kotlin is first-class citizen and everything's good for Kotlin there.
This is relatively true, but it is also completely missing the point. Iperrationalism is not a substitute for ethics. In particular I see no reason why a headcount should be an obviously correct solution to the trolley problem.
It is like those massive PC Magazine laser printer reviews decades back ... nobody cares anymore even the cheapest crud is good enough.

Reviews these days are rather all about GPU's and CPU's.
I can see what you are saying, you are probably right about the cause and effect. But I think you've unfairly shifted the blame to voters. Voters don't know how to handle a societal problem as big and as endemic as a growing homeless population, that's why we put our trust in politicians, councils and governors. Voters are just signalling a desire for a clean and safe neighborhood, and suppose even that they don't care how it's done, it's still the city and police force's responsibility to figure out a way to do it humanely and in a way that helps solve the issue, not sweep it into another neighborhood.

I want to point out that I am not anti-police, I'm just lamenting what seems to be a lack of empathy and perhaps even a lack of bravery for someone in the chain to change the approach. It's by no means an easy problem to solve, I don't envy those in charge.

Unix graybeards selfhost. That saying "cloud is someone else's computer." is relevant here.
Now, you can ask, what self-hosting really means and that is complicated. Does rented server count? Colocation? Or only way is own premises? I have worked places, where last one is hard requirement.
Generally though, I am pleased with colocation, some places even have customer provided locks on racks.
But even if you have cheap VPS, at least you can backup it (regularly and before troubles) and restore some other place. With SaaS, you can't always have export in nice and useful form.
Is it wrong in this case?
