> After all, Python has a repl too, they just call it a shell.

No. Most non-lispy (non-homoiconic) languages do not have "true" REPLs (and that includes Python as well). At best they are just that - interactive shells. To understand the distinction, one has to give a sincere heartfelt attempt to use a Lisp. Having able to evaluate any expression and sub-expression without any preceding ceremony is extremely empowering. There's a massive difference in the workflow - any experienced Lisper can attest to that. The benefits of homoiconicity are incredibly underrated in modern programming. Perhaps you just haven't used Lisp for long enough to learn how to appreciate it.

> It's just a language people.

Yes, it is. There are many different ways to express something like "number 42" - using ordinary objects like sticks, or by counting numbers out loud, or by writing the amount using words, or by applying mathematical sigma notation. And Mathematics is just a language as well. And when it comes to expressing something far less trivial than natural numbers, we have not yet discovered|invented better ways.

That all been said - Lisp syntax is not without certain disadvantages. But in many cases - the benefits outweigh the cost. That is why Lisp as an idea is still relevant, even after over six decades. And until we figure out (discover?) a better way, the ideas behind Lisp still would be very useful.

Travel bans are not effective unless they can be strict and from everywhere. Like, if you are a small island country that can keep everyone out or do strict quarantine, sure. But the travel ban on China was just theatrics and "microbial theatre" as is evidenced by, uh, reality.
Promoters have exclusive deals with ticketing agencies, and venues have exclusive deals with promoters.

Groups who choose to avoid them, like ZZ Top did for years, have limited venue options.
I understand Atlassian's part here. But Atlassian did this on purpose. They clearly understand the implication and the ownership of accounts, but they deliberately ignored individual users over big corporate accounts. And in my case, they didn't even have the courtesy to notify me in any way. I just stopped working one day leaving all my data unbale to use.
Fast as kdb? You have a single fact to back that up?
Well, Gangelt showed 15% had antibodies (subject to, potentially fair criticisms re: methodology) so I think it's fair to say it varies by locale.

While I understand that many folks from Wuhan travel all over the United States, the non-stop options from Wuhan to NYC and, if I recall correctly, SFO and LAX meant that more opportunities existed for early spread than the middle of Colorado. In fact, I can't actually pinpoint a city in San Miguel County, Colorado -- can you? (https://goo.gl/maps/F7CJ3yfDKaf1gQjDA) I guess there's a post office in Egnar... Telluride maybe?

Certainly the sparse population created natural social distancing precluding its spread.
No, the system is probably using tightly coupled memory; the CPU has single cycle access to all of system memory, effectively making a cache redundant.
Precisely. Hindsight is very 20/20. Although about 5 years ago I visited their office as a student and was quite curious to hear they had a multi billion dollar valuation and only a handful of office spaces...
Since inertia runs in the same session context as your django app you can use django sessions as you would in a standard django app - in fact this is the goal of inertia. This even works with a django rest framework API
The story leaked that morning. The SF Chronicle reported on it at ~11:30AM, explaining "County authorities were expected to announce the move at 1 p.m. and gave a draft of the order to media outlets to prepare. The Chronicle is reporting the story after a television station published the news early." https://twitter.com/sfchronicle/status/1239620219376504832

I knew Breed jumped the gun and thought it a little showy, but I assumed she did it partly to get ahead of the rumor mill. Maybe her office coaxed the TV station (KTVU?) to leak it early?

Anyhow, this is all largely irrelevant. I purposefully didn't single out Breed in my previous comment. What's relevant is that these counties had clearly been working on this order long before the announcement, which means that for her part Breed would have known about it and approved of it days prior. Which is in stark contrast to mayors like De Blasio and most other politicians outside the West Coast and especially outside the Bay Area--Newsom was almost too late in ordering a state-wide shutdown, judging by how bad Los Angeles got. They were consistently days late, during a time when days and even hours mattered.

I'm not very concerned by Breed trying to capitalize on her decisions. What matters is that she has made decisions that could have easily resulted in intense blowback (and still might) while others sat around on their thumbs too afraid of the political costs. There's plenty to still criticize Breed for, but relatively speaking she deserves some praise. And that's basically how the Mission Local article lands, too.

EDIT: See also Breed's first tweet at 11:57AM, which I think comes before her press conference, though Youtube isn't showing the time of the video, just the date. https://twitter.com/LondonBreed/status/1239626809865416704 Speaking of which, it's highly annoying how the SF Chronicle and the Mercury News update their articles in ways that obscure the timeline of what was said and when.
It flexes in flight (under power load, especially with a battery). The BeagleBone quadcopter we built with plexiglass flexed noticeably. FR4 is better, but it still will flex.
>I do wonder what went into Bloomberg not publishing it.

China kicks people out that criticize the government. We saw it recently with the WSJ, WaPo, and NYT reporters recently. If Bloomberg wanted to continue operating in China, it had to pull back on critical reporting. It is an offensive calculation, but very clear what happened.

The pandemic is causing lots of supply issues. I don't think this firmware patch is even going to be a rounding error in the grand scheme of whats going on in the world right now. There are tons of CPAP machines this doesn't cover.
Always keep separate personal and company accounts. If not for security reasons, then for privacy reasons. Mixing them usually yields little benefit anyway.

This article is actually really bad.

> - Poor document structure that renders at the whole width of wide screens ...

Does everyone just use their browser full screen now? I never want super-wide text, but I can always narrow my browser window or switch to portrait mode if I'm using a phone or tablet.

I just checked hn, and it lets text get too wide to comfortably read, but stops somewhere before full screen width.
It’s not 0.5% it’s closer to 2%.

You don’t have a normal economy if people don’t want to go out in public or the supply chain is interrupted as workers get sick. A pandemic will harm the economy no matter what we do, these efforts, it is hoped, will reduce the impact while also saving lives and the hospital system.
The language itself is very stable. There were no breaking changes. You can pick up just any Clojure book (even old one), and probably 98% of it still be very relevant.
Why would they allow an account with multiple email addresses to login with the non SSO one? In your case you aren’t malicious but there could be used maliciously

- add your person email

- get fired and login with that email and now have all the data

Yes. Title should better reflect the current stage of the drug (pre-trial).
Sounds like an Atlassian move to me...
The line is the average of high and low estimates. The issue we are dealing with exponential growth so 1/10th x to 10x makes it look like the estimate is wildly off even when it’s surprisingly accurate.

Further, these estimates are much older than the data so showing their accuracy is useful.
> It actually largely doesn't have that power.

Yes it does. This is war.
That may be the point of the program, I'm saying I don't think it's a very good point. Owning is basically always more expensive than renting, there's taxes, insurance, endless maintenance etc.

As I said in my original comment, I'm sure it gives her family more stability, but wealth accumulation via government-sponsored real estate ownership is literally a huge part of why white families have more than African America ones in this country. I think this program is missing the forest for the trees
Ventilators can be used invasively or non-invasively.
Ivermectin is approved by the FDA, but not (yet?) for treating COVID-19, and not at the doses shown to stop the virus in experimental conditions. The dose shown to be effective against COVID-19 is much much higher than the dosage approved by the FDA for other purposes.
Someone at my company had a Trello account they setup with their work email and recently received an email that said the account was being migrated to an existing Atlassian account. Since her email address matched the domain operated by that Atlassian account all of her todos would be migrated to that account.

Very little information was provided about the migration. My company has multiple Atlassian accounts, so we weren’t even sure which account it was migrating to.

The whole thing was a weird janky process. Anyone with an email address should be able to register for an account and information should never be forcefully migrated or merged. In her case the only way out was to migrate to an account using a different email address.
"More stability for her family and a capped mortgage payment every month, yes, but no real chance to actually accumulate wealth."

There's value in getting off the mortgage/rent treadmill entirely. It's a lot cheaper to live in a paid off house.
It seems like you know more than I do -- that's good news, thank you for correcting me! I was wrong about coronavirus causing all forms of the common cold. They only cause 15%, whereas rhinoviruses as you say, cause 30–80%.

Still, "the Coronavirus" COVID-19 causing virus is an RNA virus correct? Those mutate rapidly & in fact, evading immune systems via rapid evolution, is part of what has allowed RNA viruses to exist & thrive.

This fact of being an RNA virus, might be one reason that making a vaccine is difficult & that long term immunity is in question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_virus#Mutation_rates

> Preliminary analysis of COVID-19 indicates that catching it once is likely to confer life-long immunity.

I wasn't able to find this in your links. Regardless, I hope that is the case.
It’s just some copper and fiberglass. It’s the sheer number of transistors necessary for that many SerDes that costs $$$.
Whatever number you arrive at is your concern. You want to shelter in place go for it. What I don't want is the government shutting down everything. Leave it to the individual.
It seems to all fit together but I would not be too hasty in proclaiming the actual heat to be the affecting factor. Colder place will naturally be more densely populated for example.
This is just laziness on Atlassian's part. They should simply remove access to the Trello boards associated with the SSO account.

See: Github - where you can SSO into your organization's repositories but this is completely separate from your personal repositories.
This can be done even easier these days. No need to target people. Just start a bunch of twitter accounts, then delete/hide the ones that are wrong. Promote the "correct" one.

I've seen magicians do similar things with prediction tricks.
Interesting idea re: scaling. I agree this is a pattern we see time and time again with different companies on here. I wonder what a service built around this idea might look like? It’s basically outsourced customer service, isn’t it?

It seems like HN is in a sort of Goldilocks zone, where it isn’t as crowded as Twitter but gets enough attention that companies are pressured to respond. I’m not sure how replicable these characteristics would be to a platform tailored specifically to this customer service problem.
Tests are still scarce.
Microsoft can still revoke the driver signing certificate, and disallow this purpose in the future. I think that would be a good move.
I was going to say, more like 13 cents a month, assuming 2% returns, but if you can't get risk-free returns that exceed inflation, then you can't really give anyone any amount per month perpetually with any amount of billions.

I think it's an interesting question, can you and should you even have the option of a risk-free real return? Why should anyone collect money for neither working nor taking risk? It's widely assumed that's what capitalists do, but maybe there is increasing evidence they don't these days because markets are becoming too efficient, and maybe they shouldn't?
In vitro things usually work out pretty well, but as soon as you hit human trials it becomes really difficult. Hydroxochloroquine worked well against covid in vitro (had a lower toxicity than remdesivir) but turned out that it could be fatal with certain diabetes drugs and actually increased ventilator time needed.
Why not just prevent the user from accessing boards owned by the company?
Sure but I don't think the 8 core epyc would actually keep up with that many NVME drives. At least not if you tried to actually hit 24+ of them at once.

Linus tech tips tried this and had to upgrade the CPU from the 24 core epyc to the 32 core to get performance up to what they wanted. https://youtu.be/xWjOh0Ph8uM

Maybe just a bad deployment but there is overhead in filesystems. Especially with checksums and compression and redundancy and etc...
Ugh. Why let green accounts post immediately?
The discussion isn't one-sided in the way you mean. Take out the dreck and it's still highly critical. For example, the top comment (not counting my moderation alert) begins "I don't see anything of substance here".
This headline is somewhat misleading; just changing to the wording of "cell cultures" instead of "cells" would make the stage that this work is in more clear.
Any history on the use of the word “Have” in project names like this? I’m thinking of “Have Blue” also but didn’t realize it seems to be a theme. It’s always sounded weird as hell to me.

I am the user in this case. I understand Atlassian's position in this case but this is so hard to track over such a long period of time. I left this workplace almost 5 years back and the account worked fine. Then it suddenly stopped working without any notification from their side.

I would argue that the "right" course of action is to immediately require human intervention when an SSO email is added to an account (or an existing account with an email address, such as a startup "going big league", becomes SSO managed), so that account ownership issues are resolved at that point in time by the parties with ownership interest, not Atlassian having to do so.
Clojure is still massively helpful to learn, even if it is not the primary language of use. It is guaranteed to make a better programmer from anyone who has never done Lisp or FP before. It is my go-to tool for prototyping - whenever I am not allowed to use Clojure, I still first write an initial prototype in it and then translate it to the target language. Even though that sounds counter-intuitive - I am far much faster compared to if I had to write directly in the target language.
My quarantine project could potentially stimulate the economy
Out of complete boredom and having nothing else to do during this lock down, I've decided to put my skills to the test. The goal was to brainstorm, plan and develop an MVP solution that could help our economy. After many hours of dev time, i am happy to present: What Happens In College.
What is it:
This platform helps you find people on or near your campus. Socialize around popular upcoming events get access to the VIP list. Stay updated with your school's athletics teams. Show every other school in the country why yours is the best!
How restaurant owners benefit:
As you are well aware, the restaurant and service industry just received a massive blow. What Happens In College is unique because we are located primarily in college towns. These small cities face many challenges finding and sustaining a reliable customer base. We have made it our mission, to help small and medium sized businesses located in college towns, build and maintain and rich customer base. We use a variety of tools and methods, to increase engagement around businesses, that otherwise, would be left in the dust.
How college campuses benefit:
University institutions exist to educate students. As times and circumstances change, universities are having a hard time adapting to the rapid rate of change. In order for campuses to thrive for years to come, they need a steady stream of applicants. What Happens In College rallies millions of potential students around one common theme -- the university.
How advertisers & promoters benefit:
What Happens In College in it's simplest form, is an event engine. We make it possible for people, businesses, and advertisers (like you) to socialize around popular upcoming events. By interacting with your target audience directly, it takes the ad out of advertising. Start leaving a lasting impression with your largest consumer. This is definitely a game changer for the US economy.

Exactly. He's playing with Saudi's money. People are conflating managing your PA vs others'.
We've had the paid plan with "premium" support. Inexistent and borderline rude. We just moved to IEX cloud for data (proper documentation, sandbox, etc).
I've had chest X-Rays at the ER each time, usually. They have yet to mention anything about a hernia. The one that seems most likely is a hiatal hernia, considering the symptoms, but that should show up on a chest x-ray, especially with as many as I've had.

Also, I used to take Prilosec, but usually now I'll just give up all caffeine, soda, fatty foods, most tomatoes and citrus for two weeks, and that seems to put me back in a state where I can tolerate it again. Until I push the boundary again. I've heard some worrying things about long-term use of some heartburn medicine, so I try not to take it.
What is the dose needed to treated to COVID. I'm assuming it would have to be continued for at least 5 days and dosed multiple times daily.
Normally ivermectin is dosed as a single dose 0.2mg/kg (so 14mg for an average 70kg person) for treating, say scabies.
The ownership of data is attached to the email. As soon as i left my workplace, none of the data created under my company account was visible to me. On top of that, they launched SSO support lately. It was not SSO when I connected my accounts years back.
Great reply. That's exactly what I said. Fannie Mae isn't technically government-operated - but it's a government-sponsored enterprise.

I didn't realize such selectively enforced standards were a thing? Should I report any post that criticizes government actions for nationalism?

So is criticizing a any government's actions in an comment section about an article criticizing the same government is nationalism? I didn't realize being in support of common human rights was a controversial ideology. I apologize for my actions and welcome the new mod community standards.

I hope this statement will please current and potential YCombinator investors.

Hi Nat, finally MS responded to the Gitlab threat. Recently Gitlab has announced that they would be making a bunch of products free.

"We're open sourcing rich functionality across Plan, Create, Verify, Package, Release, Configure, and Defend."

https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2020/03/30/new-features-to-cor...

It's good to see that MS has joined the party.

Are there any plans to make GitHub itself available for self-hosting? I am not sure but the go-to place for open source software cannot be closed source.

Cheers,

Tarun
Maybe but it’s all relative. Even a little less scarcity can change those numbers in significant ways.
Wireless Signals don't pass through water very well. A submarine has to surface to send messages.

My guess is that any wireless signal would be unlikely to reach a torpedo in motion.

For the torpedos with wires, the article says they can be shut down from afar. Maybe you don't want to blow something up that's close enough to be attached to you via wire. Safer to let it sink.
Problem is they don’t know which boards are part of the SSO org since both emails are on the same account.

They're not saying you can't return to your family, they're just saying not to congregate in large numbers. I've moved back from my apartment (Chicago) to the suburbs to stay with my parents until this lockdown ceases. Of course, we both started isolating two weeks before I came home, and they picked me up so I wouldn't have to take the train.

Just use your head, don't do things that will risk spreading the disease. Taking public transit to/from your family a few times a week is very dangerous. Going someplace and staying there is not.
