I have something like this in my overlays.nix:

self: super:

let
callPackage = super.callPackage;
in {
darktable = callPackage
./pkgs/darktable { inherit (super) darktable; };
}

And my default.nix in pkgs/darktabele looks like this:

{ darktable, fetchurl, ... }:

darktable.overrideAttrs (_: rec {
version = "3.0.0";
src = fetchurl {
url = "https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/releases/download/release-${version}/darktable-${version}.tar.xz";

};
})
The difference of course is that HCQ is part of the existing treatment plan of SK, France, and other countries. At the very least we’ll have a large sample size in the next few months.
I left and came back, and honestly it was a 100% financially motivated. Everything else that interests me requires basically being in poverty. I enjoy coding, but i enjoyed working with people in the non profit space more. I have this fantasy that I’ll find a way to merge the two worlds but so far i haven’t been able to do so. On a positive note, I have made so many more friends working in tech than at basically any time in my life. I gave mostly loved the people I’ve gotten to work with in the industry
we define focus time as 3+ hours of uninterrupted time chunks. If you already have less than 3 hours of free time during the day, we prefer to give you a break than to further stack meetings together.

I really wish they would just upgrade the Lightning connector to the industry standard USB-C port that Apple thankfully use on everything else.
One of the few things we can be certain of with complex systems is that effects are not consequences of single causes. The US's political tribalism is clearly a negative for the nation, but is a consequence of history, not the signal flaw in a machine. It is a particularly vicious aspect of the system, I'd agree, as it tends to feed back and make the whole system increasingly dysfunctional.

The US looks very much like a nation in precipitous decline. Its hapless response to the current crisis may be the coup de grace.

You’re intentionally mislabeling “not using a crisis to hand out billions in tax breaks to rich people” as “socialism” to extend people’s historic aversion to socialism to this situation.

Do that often enough and you’ll find people quite willing to give this “socialism” thing a chance.
I like to watch lots of videos and television sometimes but not all the time. Ive lately transitioned to watching YouTube / Netflix . Also, when I want to learn something I try to look for Youtube videos that are relevant.

I don't know if abstract problem solving is related to schizophrenia but genes that increase schizophrenia risk are generally correlated with lower iqs.

To me this is the opposite of what I want in a small phone. It is less the physical size, rather that since 99.9% of all my usage is one handed, I need my thumb to be able to reach anywhere on the screen. With the ability to have minimal bezels, my preference would be to shrink the phone to meet the screen, not to enlarge the screen.
It always seems to me that faithful people just don't confront themselves with the suffering that is happening and has happened. When you know about such events it seems to me to be either a lame escape or maliciously ignorant to claim there might be a god who sees the big plan and is still omnipotent. When there is not even a glimpse of a reason for certain acts against children I refuse to accept any far fetched esoteric excuse.

One small suggestion: a direct link to download the MP3. It's easy to find, no question there, but I use the NoScript add-on and had to enable it, and then had to figure out that I should use the menu in Chrome's audioplayer to get to the download.
And in the past year, there were precisely 2 Android phones with <= 4.7" screens. Lava Z40 and BLU Advance L5. There were zero that were as narrow as the original SE.
I'm dubious, but who knows? If the scientists and doctors think it looks promising, I don't much care who suggested it.

Trump isn't much to watch, but he does end up being right on some of his wacky-sounding calls more than I would have thought. I wouldn't bet my money against him.

We opened a hostel ( https://www.hostelofmaine.com/ ). No regrets. I have always intended to get back into tech in some capacity, and just identifying how that will work and when is the best time is the trick. Still follow HN because some of the content is really good, and keeping an eye on tech's big picture changes is important to me.
Just curious why you think so. Bash manuals tend to be pretty long and it seems they also provide a quick reference for commands right in the same docs page. Is it the "book" aspect of it?
A social collapse would coincide with an economic collapse and lower emissions. Honestly, speaking as a former climate change-adjacent geophysicist, I'd take it.

It is becoming fairly clear we will have revolutions. At some point, things will deteriorate to the point it will happen. Normalcy bias is a hell of a drug, and we are all sniffing it really hard.

The ruling class is unwilling and unable to solve this or any other wide-scale societal problem we have. Ruling classes never yield power without force.
I cans see how that helps with protecting some focus time but not with meetings themselves

For example there are lots of situations where 4 1 hour meetings in a row is just a bad idea even though it could be done to protect a 3 hour block. Problem being knowing which situations those are depends on both the type of meeting and your role in it.

I guess the problem is splitting your day into "focus time" and "meeting time" will work well for some roles, but is overly simplified for others. Not obvious how to solve that, most of the simple approaches would involve significant user input.
He leans pretty authright. I don't think he would be very popular among most people here
> The tech industry nowadays is no longer about solving real-world problems and making the world a better place, instead it's all about screwing the end user in every single way possible

I think you're overstating it. This is true of much of the industry, maybe even most in certain bubbles like San Francisco, but it's far from all.

> Technology-wise, we no longer use engineering as a means to an end to solve a business problem. Instead, engineering became its own thing and most companies encourage and reward those who opt for over-engineered solutions

I think there's more truth to this, although I still think it's far from all of the industry. There's also a little bit of a good reason for it: tech companies have figured out that when you let engineers work on things they find interesting or exciting, they tend to work much harder and longer. In some sense this isn't a bad deal for those programmers either, if they're getting to do something they love instead of something they hate.

What it does lead to is a weird situation where doing something in a way that's only 80% efficient in terms of effort because of over-engineering, may still end up being economical because it leads to 200% effort from the people working on it. I think this is the root of a lot of the technology decisions being made today. Which, again, is really weird and seems questionable, but it also seems to work out pretty well for all parties most of the time.
> This is assuming that "what Apple thinks its customers want" === "what Apples customers want"

Considering the financial success of Apple I would say that is probably true.
Ha, that's also one of my favorite Onion articles (besides the one that says Toyota issuing a recall on all 1993 Camrys because it's really time for the owner to get a new car).

WHO chief reacts to Trump halting U.S. funds over coronavirus response
> Perhaps they just switched that in comment?

No, I think that's correct. It's definitely weird, but it's consistent with what users have observed.
With IPv6 one user is a /64 whereas with IPv4 one user is a /32. That's about equal from a privacy perspective.

But then in reality one IPv4 /32 is often many users due to NAT. Doesn't that make privacy better with v4?

I wonder if this is a bit like bodybuilders and fake tan. Nobody, least of all bodybuilders, thinks bodybuilders should be the colour of French polished walnut (the ones with naturally white skin, that is!). But if being a fraction of a shade darker than your competitor gives you an edge in showing off, that's where you end up.
This is one of the best pieces of advice I've read in a while!

Please don't break the site guidelines. They ask you not to post like this for several good reasons, one of which is that it takes time for the voting on comments to settle. Often unfair downvotes get canceled by users who come along, see the situation, and make a corrective upvote. Meanwhile complaints like this one linger on in the thread, gathering dust and adding inaccuracy to offtopicness. They don't garbage-collect themselves.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

The guidelines also, for several good reasons, ask you not to post about "brigading" and the like. These perceptions are nearly always imaginary, as the current example illustrates. Everyone sees something they don't like and says "aha! brigading!". Nobody sees it change to the opposite and then says "oh! guess I was wrong about that." I've looked at the data on this closely for years, and the conclusion is that with rare exceptions (and I do mean rare) it is all cognitive bias of the purest form. Cognitive bias plus randomness equals narrative. It also equals noise in HN threads—and it evokes worse from others who have the opposite bias and take it as flamebait against their side.

Yeah, fair enough. Sometimes I just get angry and I know it doesn't help.
Why tho?

I have an old iPhone SE. It is small enough that I don't even notice it in my pocket. It does everything I want it to do very well and is actually very responsive.

Also it is about $60 bucks on ebay. I have no compelling reason to switch.

OK so that Novartis thing. Trump gets elected. According to the second article there Novartis tracks down Trump's lawyer and signs a contract for him to "advise" them on US health care policy matters.

Then after they sign the contract they meet with him and determine that he "would be unable to provide the services that Novartis had anticipated". Without details but it sounds like they said, "OK we gave you all this money, we don't really want legal advice, we want you to influence the President or tell us privileged information" and Cohen said "No way that is unethical." They then had to pay the rest of the contract since it could only be terminated for cause and "lawyer refuses to commit crimes" isn't valid cause.

So yeah, Novartis is one of many companies that makes generic HCQ and sells it at near cost. It's not a money maker for them at all. It definitely sounds like they were trying to do something unethical and illegal here, but how is the fact their lawyer refused to go along with it evidence of something wrong with Cohen or any of his other clients?
More generally, all of identity politics is based around this.
Only if we're willing to assume that Trump's lawyer was doing things entirely on his own behalf.

Which seems like an unreasonable leap to make given the copious evidence that he's acted to provide plausible deniability for Trump in the past.
When you're at $500k/yr, losing <$50k/yr isn't really that big of a deal.
Terrifying.

As a software engineer, shit like this scares me. I've felt like I'm on a steady, slow, decline for the last ~4 years.

Is it just burnout? Do I need a new hobby?

I used to love programming... Spent 12 hours a day jamming on it. Now, I struggle to keep my mind on a line of code for more than 5 minutes.

At what point is it just burnout, or at what point is it something more? That's what's terrifying to me. I imagine that was a challenge for those close to Lee.

We just know so little about the human body. Our ability to easily query the state of the body, to assess which functional components are working, and which need help, is dismal.

I just hope that Lee, in whatever state he is in, isn't suffering.
Why do you believe that is not a rational way to act in this environment?
It's a pretty simple page, setTimeout should work well enough. Is the interval too high?

Agreed! I'm kind of expecting that something like that will happen over here eventually.

It costs a lot more than that to become a doctor in the US. Typical student loan debt for doctors is well into 6 digits.

I absolutely hated not having a headphone jack so I finally gave in a bought a pair of AirPods Pro. They are literally my favorite thing I've bought in the last decade.

I know it's an extremely expensive solution, and it's super shitty that Apple is basically forcing you to buy them, but now that I have them I love them.
> Why is that the most preposterous hypothesis that doesn't warrant any review?

It's not. What is preposterous is advancing the hypothesis without any meaningful evidence, to the detrement of more useful topics, or even useful discussion of the same topic.

It's one thing to be an epidemiologist saying "hey, let's see how we can double check the exact origins of this", which is a potentially useful line of inquery. It's another to take some hypochondriac's third hand retelling of someone else's flu symptoms back in December and jump to the same untested unproven unscientific fear-driven conclusions they did on little more than their wild speculation. Even if they do somehow end up being right, they'll be right in the "broken clock is right twice a day" sense rather than a bringing anything useful to the table sense.

So far, alternative suggestions as to the virus's origins have looked more similar to the latter - with perhaps some undertones of (completely understandable and expected) attempted political diversion (I sure wouldn't want fault for this mess hanging on my neck!) If you have some epidemiologist's proposed study that you're trying to drive funding towards - something that even remotely looks like the former - it'd be a welcome breath of fresh air on the topic, and I'd suggest sharing that as a far more useful and constructive way of advancing the hypothesis.
I think they already rate limit down votes. I think I recall seeing at least a few not apply when I checked as an experiment in the past.

I try to up vote at least twice as much as I down vote. If I down vote a a low quality comment, I try to at least up vote 2 quality ones to offset it.
> I wonder what you mean by that

I'm not entirely sure. If I had a recipe I'd probably be a leader somewhere rather than an anonymous sometime programmer in deepest Northern NSW!

One of the few things I'm pretty certain of though is that the capitalist-corporate system is a road to worldwide destruction. And that there are no diversions within the system, no reforms that can do anything other than alter the speed of the decline. It all has to go, by whatever means necessary. Though I'm open to the possibility that the course is a biological given, and capitalist-corporatism is merely a consequence of that biology. In which case, we're done.
I spent many years deciding promotions at a big tech company, including for Sr managers. One thing we always looked into was were they growing the talent on their teams, mentoring, growing skills, and getting people promoted. People understood this was one of the criteria for manager promotions, so they spent time on it (and documented it).

Like any other job, people tend to respond to what they are told will be the evaluation criteria.
Actual title "No evidence of clinical efficacy of hydroxychloroquine in patients
hospitalised for COVID-19 infection and requiring oxygen:..."

from the article:

"181 patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia..."

These patients had pneumonia and were infected with Covid-19 for days prior.

Its too late for the hydroxychloroquine to stop the Covid-19 virus. The disease has progressed to its second phase wherein the virus and other opportunistic pathogens (e.g., bacteria) attack the lungs and other tissue. Antibiotics may help but these patients arrived too late at the hospital to gain the full efficacy of hydroxychloroquine, which when coupled with zinc sulfate, slows or halts the viral replication.
I also think it's responsible for the unisex fannypack comeback success.
Indeed... I never thought of it this way. Very telling.

Slashdot had (still has as far as I know) a daily limit on up and down votes, and quite a small one at that (I think 5?). It also prevents you from voting and commenting on the same topic.
An implication of this is that labeling groups you disagree with may actually serve to strengthen their commitment to that disagreement. I.e. calling someone a climate change denier or an anti-vaxxer, groups them with other people with the same misconceptions, and strengthens their commitment to the ideas because it's now a commitment to their group.
This is a remarkably clueless article.

It's clearly written by someone not familiar with the demands of embedded systems.

Also, Pis have a not-so-stellar track record as far as reliability, which is why I wouldn't want to use them in safety-critical systems.

I suspect systems using them will have a hard time passing official reviews (which have been accelerated, but very much still exist).
It does generalize to my point, because we're talking about the basic reproduction number of the virus. It is not supposed to vary dramatically across populations.

If COVID-19 can spread to 15% of that particular population within that timeframe, and the estimate of a basic reproduction number of 2-3 predicts that this is not possible, then the estimate must be wrong.

> Also, the particular antibody tests they used appears to have a much higher FP rate than they claimed. Another study found 4% FPs rather than <1% like the press release for the Gangelt testing claimed.

Perhaps, but that doesn't put much of a dent into the results.
I do wonder how effective and safe an old-fashioned inoculation could be in the absence of a vaccine.

A small quantity of the virus could be introduced to your leg where it is away from your lungs and bloodstream. Your body could fight the virus there.
Profit above all else.
It would be great if it were as you say. I would be glad to buy a 4“ screen iPhone. Or at least something with Touch ID and a white front. I mean, the new iPhone SE is probably a nice thing, but there’s something incomplete to it. Sadly.
Ah I see, do you mean in case you need to do some prep/post-meeting work for a meeting and if its sandwiched, there is no time to do it?

Yes, I agree it is preliminary and not too much should be drawn off it.

Every country is missing large numbers of cases, so CFR doesn't mean much - randomized testing is what is needed.

Imperial College's paper (linked above which gives a 0.7% population IFR) uses Diamond Princess as an input. The relative risk ratio they give for someone age 70 (mean age on Diamond Princess) is something like 4.5x (IFR ~3%), so you'd natively guess about 80 deaths from the 2,666 passengers.

Microsoft Invoice has transitioned to a cloud-based product, so again, they didn't end support. You might not like the new purchasing model, but that's very much different than them burning the product to the ground.
