That worked when local newspapers were mostly distributing articles from the associated press, with some local news mixed in.

To be quite frank, I'd rather just have an associated press subscription that includes access to all newspapers who are part of the associated press.
I called the airline yesterday and they told me.
Sometimes I get the sense that people think CPU is short for "C" Processing Unit.

:)
I agree with that. Cops that get into their career because they believe in Justice will follow the letters of the law. Only as they gain experience to they see the big picture and become the best kind of cop. Someone that uses good judgement
CNN used to be my preferred news site but its turned into garbage as you mentioned. I tried to read a lost this morning about antibody tests and gave up when I faced 2 ads, 2 stock pictures, and an image of the author before I had made it to the 4th sentence.

Would gladly pay a reasonable amount of money for a news site.
God, what a waste. Airplanes are bad enough for climate change when they actually carry people.

I fail to see how Gitlab's UI is not intuitive, for the most part 90% of the GitHub functionality is in 3 menus.

It does get complicated when you start adding kubernetes clusters and more of the Gitlab gold features, but even then I think its well managed.

As far as speed goes, it is slower than GitHub, but has gotten a lot better over the last year. Just browsing around right now it loads within 1 second for pretty much anything besides pull requests.
A business has social responsibility, in this case protect its workers. The part of those who are sendings non food, non health related item are indeed better at home.

Where I live huge chains of karaoke, shops, restaurant, and smaller restaurants too have closed by themselves without any government or court order in order to protect the people.
That has nothing to do with People up and down the food chain, who know how to get things done and take advantage of the hyperconnection, rebooting their ops.

The advantage of the network over hierarchies, is reboots dont happen top down. They happen all over the network simultaneously.

For example these days I don't wait for my boss or his boss to resolve gating issues if I know people at their levels of the hierarchy who can do it faster. Thats possible if you are well networked. And lots of people are these days, compared to 1930.

It boils down to the question of how to measure the productivity of software engineers in general, which is hard to answer.

Very hard, juniors can get productive within two weeks, but seniors or leads might need up to 6 months.
It's weird how the article looks at the true reason right there and then just chooses ignores it.

Microsoft bought Github in part to get developer mindshare, just like VSCode, and WSL, and a ton of other great efforts have.

They literally quote Nadella saying this on an earnings call!

If Occam's razor and the money line up, why does this have to be some secret attempt to beat Gitlab?

The other side of the story... https://www.france24.com/en/20200414-french-court-faults-ama... or https://www.ft.com/content/1ad863ef-dc39-43a3-b714-e5ef3c4a8...

> Laurent Degousee, of the SUD-Commerce union that was behind the complaint, acknowledged that Amazon had "not stood idly by" amid the crisis but had taken a "slew of measures without any evaluation".

> He said that the taking of temperatures had sometimes caused queues and thus risked possible infection.

So Amazon had the choice of either;

a) taking the court ruling seriously and doubling down on efforts to ensure worker safety and working out what needs to be done to lift the suspension

or

b) raising a middle finger and threatening to suspend all deliveries, thereby adding fuel to the notion that Amazon doesn't take worker safety seriously and creating opposition in France that will now work on strategies for "what to do if Amazon pulls out of our market?"

Which one seems like a smarter response?

> I've written hello.c and it's about 84 bytes of C and 8.3k as an executable. Would hand-coded assembler be that large?

The answer is generally no. A lot of that overhead is due to the C std library. If memory serves from a blog post I read long ago, with very very aggressive tuning, you can get a hello world binary down under 50 bytes (which is smaller than the ELF header). A “normal” ASM coded “hello world” binary could easily be in the range of a few hundred bytes without anything special.
Agreed. All I have to do is think back to which people from my high school went on to become police officers. Somehow it's never the types of people that were looking out for others.
Unfortunately, that's not what OP wants. What OP wants is that when they scroll, the position of the cursor remains at the same position in the buffer (the contents), even when that means that it leaves the currently visible screen.

What scroll-preserve-screen-position determines, is whether the point/cursor stays at the same visual position in the screen — i.e. if for instance your cursor was in the middle of the screen, it will stay in the middle when you scroll.

OP needs the currently non-existent scroll-preserve-buffer-position.
Ask HN: What obscure items have you noticed shortages caused by this pandemic?
We all know about the TP and N95 mask shortages, but I have started to notice things like hair dye and dog trimming kits being sold out.

Probably the strangest one I found was "National Geographic Rock Tumbling Kits" which I guess got bought up for home schooling projects?

Anyways just curious what other unexpected items have become diffict to buy?
I'd love to see poor people have more money, but I don't see why that's a critical feature for a plan to keep the economy running well. There are many important problems that just don't have much to do with income inequality.
Well, exactly, and you should hopefully not be doing that, so, what's the problem with taking an oath?
> Stockholm (the worst hit part of Sweden) has about half the deaths per capita of the state New York (26 deaths per 100k vs 56 deaths per 100k) despite Sweden having laxer restrictions.

So far. It's way too early into this unfolding disaster to be making pronouncements like this while the figures are still increasing exponentially. NYC has had shelter-in-place for several weeks now while Stockholm has not. If you'd done this analysis a week ago, and then two weeks ago, you'd see Stockholm looking progressively better and better in comparison to NYC the more you go back in time. In other words, they're catching up, because here in NY we're sheltering in place and it's working, and in Sweden they aren't (yet) and thus their spread is higher.

> And Stockholm is generally more densely populated.

Not in comparison to NYC it's not, which is the fair comparison for Stockholm because Stockholm is a city whereas all of New York is a much much larger state that amounts to 1/3rd of the land area of the entirety of Sweden. NYC's density is 10,715/km2 vs Stockholm's 4,200/km2.

Just curious if Google has suffered similar level of revenue damage. If so it would be really bad since they got a hundred thousand people on paycheck.
I left (mostly) when tech became a tool for greed and scummery. Was asked too many times to participate in completely legal yet morally abhorrent actions.

Also saw that programmers were starting to be treated like factory workers where attendance and metrics like keystrokes per minute were more important than good well written and documented code.

The final straw however was "move fast and break things". Basically pump out change for the sake of change and let the end user do quality control.

One could argue that app stores have also played a significant role, basically taking thirty percent gross while depriving the developer of direct contact with the end user.

Bottom line, I’d rather be sailing.
NHS ‘score’ tool to decide which patients receive critical care
Thing about Seagate drives though is that they're usually less expensive than the competition. From my perspective, they do not have a high enough failure rate to justify spending extra on a brand like HGST. If you're doing things right, you have both redundancy and backups for your critical stuff, and in my experience Seagate is good about replacing failed drives within the warranty period.

Anecdotally, the only Seagate disks that have caused me significant headache are the Archive line that definitely uses SMR and is marketed appropriately because of it.
Most of the drugs being trialed are repurposed drugs, so we can't expect miracles. Scant evidence (at least until the trials end) say that giving them early on may lead to better response.

Currently, there are a number being tested by WHO and other trials, I list the ones that come to mind:

- remedisivir (repurposed anti-Ebola drug): several trials to end by May-June

- lopinavir/ritonavir (anti-HIV drugs): those delivered bad results in a recent study, but those so far were (a limitation noted by the study authors) on patients with rather severe sympthoms, so it's still undecided whether they're effective or not

- Chloroquine family (chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine, with or without azithromycin): some preliminary studies may have shown interesting effects, but there were small sample sizes (also in another study which apparently was not very successful). U of Minnesota started a largish (3000 people) trial to see if it's prophylactic for immediate post-exposure to the virus. Another one started a couple of days ago to test the combination with the antibiotic (whose reported purpose is to fight off secondary infections)

There are others with less spotlight such as favipiravir, which provided a (modest) improvement in a small trial in China, and it's now part of a Phase 3 trial in Japan, or whole classes of drugs to combat the secondary but clinically important sympthoms like overinflammation (which occurs in some patients) like tocilizumab.

A lot of eyes are pointed on the chloroquines because they are already available (although they do present significant side-effects).

Neither of these drugs (or many others, see for example https://biocentury.com/coronavirus for some lists) will likely provide miracles. What the trials will do (hopefully!) is to help understanding how early they must be taken, and how effective they are in clinical management. An advantage, however, is that they will be available faster than a vaccine (modulo some non trivial issues like mass production).
We are trying to shape ArduBee as an excellent platform for 100g-200g micro uav develop and to enable urban swarm experimentations, indoor and outdoor!
I would fully expect the movement to gain strength.

Some balance needs to be found between risk and cost so that the people that are not at risk don't have to carry the brunt of the costs.

Because that's really where this is going, we a ruining the youth, take away their prospects yet they are not the ones that would be primarily impacted.
Yeah, Apple, Google, Amazon - the usual culprits - are the competition, not small fish like GitLab.
Thanks for sharing your story. What is very little, and how do you make this very little? How do you learn new skills, and what keeps you motivated?
I left after over 25 years. I love programming and love working with Linux, but the jobs always came down to "help us steal peoples personal information so we can slam them with spam for products the neither want or need." It was unfulfilling. I went back to school and got an MA in history. I teach humanities though I still teach a couple of programming classes. I miss it a little. I would go back in a heartbeat for the right position, but I am through getting mauled in tech interviews which turned into combat trivial pursuit. I love technology and I still create applications mostly for myself or to help automate my school. I get new ideas from HN.
They don't threaten, they obey the court that asked them to suspend deliveries because employees were not properly cared for. Let's not turn things around.

Don't worry, if Amazon stops selling altogether, small businesses will be more than happy to take back some market share.

Entirely possible. They're predicting that half (1/2) of the businesses in my city will fail by the end of summer. If you're still holding on then you're cutting expenses to the bone... with the 2nd and 3rd order effects being that ad revenue, ether via click, or just in a "Eat At Joe's" ad in a local paper, is gone.
I've been selling and doing DR on HDD for 20 years now, and frankly speaking, Seagate drives reliability isn't the best.

Numerous new technologies led to severe issues like : 5400.6/7200.4 platter dust issues killing heads the more they heat, the infamous LBA 0 fw issue on desktop drives, motor bearing seizure on 7200.10/12, lots of bad batchs on 7200.14 ST DM001/002/003, more than WD or even Hitachi. On SAS drives, the Cheetah 15K.x are not very reliable (replaced LOTS of ST3600057SS), but the Fujitsu and Hitachi are not very either.

Toshiba drives are not great either. The 2.5" MK series had an important return rate, more than the competitors. The MQ01ABD is better, but faces platters demagnetization that leads to bad sectors.
The 3.5" ACA drives are a Hitachi prod line that was "given" to Toshiba when WD acquired HGST. They are quite basically Hitachi drives with a Toshiba firmware.

Edit : and now DR on Seagate drives like the Rosewood family (like the ST1000LM035) is the absolute worst nighmare for any data recovery guy. Ultra brittle head stack, easy platter damage when shocked, self encrypted firmware and SMR. If those disks makes some motor noise or head clicking, we don't even bother to open them anymore.
I don't think that's undefined behavior. That's how C's limited form of polymorphism is utilized. For example, many data structures behind dynamic languages are implemented in this way. A concrete example would be Python's PyObject which share PyObject_HEAD.

Thanks, you've described what I had in my head as a rough way of doing things - the issue with this approach is that it appears to be one bot instance per user. I.e. if I want the same 'user' to be able to be invited to unlimited servers, that 'user' must run from a single application instance - meaning all server chats flow through a single app instance.
Deploying Microservices with Amazon ECS: Challenges and Opportunities
To be fair, if the deadline is short and if it's indeed unclear which activity Amazon is allowed to do now, taking a moment to figure that out is not that bad of an idea.
As much as Amazon deserves some bad publicity for how they handle their warehouse and wholefoods workers in the US, in this case I feel like they're being vilified unfairly for the shipping of non-essentials.

Walmart is shipping whatever-the-fuck, I can order nightstands and a bed on wayfair and weed from the SQDC (government)... Let's be clear, marijuana is not an essential for all but a very small percentage of the population using it as medecine...

Yet everyone's roasting Amazon for operating like it's business as usual while the smaller players run wild.
That sounds like the dream. Is there anywhere you document the other 6 months?
Reading between the lines I see two complaints:

- the VC system is pretty messed up. Paul Graham made himself and others rich by recognizing some deficiencies. That there are still massive problems would not be a controversial statement here.

- Private companies controlling, exploiting and monopolizing platforms. Tech companies effectively self-organize to disrupt monopolies that harm them (Linux, Postgres, Kubernetes, etc) while these same companies are trying to gain their own monopolies.

I think most people here would agree that these are problems. Most here would probably be happy if the US enforced its existing anti-trust laws better, but it sounds like Liu's proposed solutions are much more radical. I'll be interested to hear them.
Your sister's name doesn't render in my browser (stable Firefox on Linux 5.6). I'm sure I'm missing a fontpack or something. Again, I'm not saying ASCII is the solution, I'm saying Unicode is much more difficult to get right, and maybe we should call it something other than "plain text", since we already had a generally accepted meaning for that for many years. I'm usually in favor of making a new name for a thing rather than overloading an old name.

Google should know when the web page was first posted or last updated, simply by crawling.

And trusting a date in the URL just opens up the ability to game and abuse the system.
True - but a lot of people self-disqualify because of rumors and urban legends. Make them tell you "no" if it's something you want. There are waivers for many medical issues, but if you don't ask you'll never get one.

In 2011 I took a flight to Boston which happened to be on the same day that William and Kate got married. I don't know if that was the reason, but the flight was almost empty (apparently under 30 passengers on a 737). It was annoying for a couple of reasons: Firstly they didn't upgrade anyone, even though first and business was basically empty. Secondly, the flight attendants were constantly badgering me in case I wanted something, when really what I wanted was a bigger seat and to be left alone. Anyway, good luck on your 1 passenger flight.

This is fantastic in so many ways. As a demoscener going back to the early 90s, I know myself and other people in the scene enjoy the extraordinary value the scene provides us. I think just as important is that among other intangible assets around the world, the demoscene is particularly vibrant -- with tens (maybe hundreds) of thousands of people participating, enjoying, or at least knowing about the scene.

It's a big source of innovation, an amazing social activity, and has quietly just done things for years that were thought to not be possible, or to be very very hard. It definitely has it's own culture, way of doing things, ideas, ethos, philosophy, and most importantly, is constantly evolving. It's amazingly aware of what's to come as well as effortlessly incorporating its own heritage.

Believe it or not it's around half a century old and going strong!
That’s a very misinformed comment. Healthcare is free in France, and only some edge cases are not covered. Even when not covered you have doctors that offer you the consultation for free (happened to me a few times).

The problem lies in the public hospital system which is underfunded, and on the other hand in the numerus clausus that limits the number of new doctors that can graduate every year.
Realistically, it's they want to have their cake and eat it too.

If Amazon is not taking precautions and putting the population at risk, they should be shut down.

Amazon is already putting massive delays on non-essential goods (delivery times have moved from 2 days to up to 1 month) in order to prioritize moving essential goods. Not to mention, they've said they're hiring due to the massive influx of orders for essential goods.

So logically speaking, if a large portion of their current activity is already essential goods, what is this besides a way to look like they're standing up to the big bad foreign tech company while getting to keep their deliveries flowing in (all without actually protecting anyone)
A business is supposed to be responsible to avoid hiring people into hazards they didn’t sign up for when they were hired, but now cannot leave for risk of being jobless in the worst downturn since the Great Depression.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siphonophorae

Siphonophores belong to the Cnidaria, a group of animals that includes the corals, hydroids, and true jellyfish. There are about 175 described species. Some siphonophores are the longest animals in the world, and specimens as long as 40 meters have been found. The majority of siphonophores are long and thin, consisting mostly of a clear gelatinous material.
