The hex code is six numbers long, the same length as a date written in ddmmyy format. Apparently this is not a unique thought because I tried putting in some random dates and found the colors were named things like "gage's birthday".

Just advocate for a carbon tax and be done with it. Don't arbitrarily decide which industries get to stay and which ones have to go.

You ban air travel and suddenly people cover a big chunk of the difference with mass driving, causing significantly more deaths and increased CO2. (Remember: Southwest's most popular route is Dallas<->Houston which is drive-able)
While you may be suggesting this more as a not-to-be-taken-entirely-serious, there probably is some truth to it: evolution. Accoriding to the red queen hypothesis, noone (species) can ever win evolution, you can only constantly adapt and select. There is no reason to believe that humans have overcome this. Now with billions of humans in existance, any small weakness all these humans have that another species can exploit will make it enourmously profitable for that species: A) there are many humans so independent where on the planet you arise you have a big chance to hit a human and B) there are many humans so its is easier to jump to another human once the one you have be thriving on becomes unprofitable.
This is the hardest for me. It's almost like those two forces are in opposition to each other. I'd love to find an industry where they could align.

Godot is currently undergoing a major 3D graphics rewrite/update for version 4.0, with Vulkan support and a big push for 3D feature parity with other engines.

You could use Godot if you really like the open-source-ness of it, and don't mind waiting for 4.0 or doing the work to port your game from 3.2 to 4.0. If you want to get going now, use something else.
To clarify the paid option will let publishers verify ownership of their sites and then get what they may have lost by ppl using the extension with adblock.

Is this meant to replace Webpack + some list of plugins, does this get added to Webpack, or is this meant to go somewhere else entirely in the JS toolchain?

If this replaces Webpack, can someone please list a combination of popular plugins that this compares to. (Or even a few lists - would it replace Grunt + something?)

If not, can you tell me what other software this compares to, so that I can better understand it?

I am sure that I am not the only one who has some familiarity, but doesn't live in the system. Having a point of comparison would be extremely helpful.

"My healthcare is so expensive, I cannot allow my air travel to get more expensive."

Why not lobby to have your healthcare become cheaper instead?

I am sorry you have a condition that causes you this much stress. I know these must be especially terrifying times for you (even more than people that are for the most part healthy). I would just suggest you aim your frustrations at the industries that are actually causing you problems.
They already dropped by 20% from peak. Are you saying they should drop by all 50%? That doesn't make sense. Market is forward looking. Assuming a fast recovery, a couple bad quarters would even hardly matter in the long term. You can model that mathematically using tools like DCF valuation.

Another thing, Google has an exceptionally strong balance sheet and can weather this recession for many years if need be. They're not going bankrupt any time soon. You don't go and just short such companies when there's still plenty of leveraged junk out there.
Opposite experience here. We placed an order on a Sunday, next available delivery date was the following Thursday. We received hourly updates on Thursday, that the order was "being shopped, delivery delayed +1hr" -- Thursday came & went, on Friday we received no updates, and the order just sat there for a week or so.

Canned response (understandably) from support which just asked us to "re-schedule it to another day" (which was at that point a week out min), and then after 2 weeks I got a cancelation email and they finally issued the $500 refund. We pay the "premium" yearly price to InstaCart, too. =|

We now have no faith in them, because if we schedule a delivery for a week away and then the food doesn't arrive we're kind of stuck; PostMates has been decent, depending on the driver you get, and has continued to be same-day.
Ask HN: How to give equity in bootstrapped broke startup?
My bootstrapped startup is pretty much fully built, but I've run out of funds and need to bring on engineers in equity-only positions. These are part-time remote positions that are mainly about keeping the site running and fixing bugs while I work on sales. Are there any free or cheap cap table resources you'd recommend I use to draw up offers for engineers joining my company this way?

I'm concerned about giving away too much of the company because that might hamper my ability to give out equity for other positions in the company in the future. I'm also concerned that if I give out equity incorrectly it might scare away investors or companies looking to acquire my company in the future.

Would something like offering an engineer 4% of the company per year be reasonable (capped at 12% ownership after 3 years)? I'm also not sure how a cliff would work in this situation. Maybe a 3 month cliff where I could fire them without giving them any equity if they end up not delivering at all? I'm not hoping to fire anyone, but I would be hiring people I don't know, so I need some kind of cliff.

Here are a few more details that might be helpful. My company is a California LLC with a single owner. No investor money has been raised to date. Unfortunately, I'm not friends with any engineers, so I can't just bring on my friends. The company is truly broke, so I basically need an under $100 solution for this. Something like paying $40 for a month long subscription with RocketLawyer.com is what I'd be looking for. Thanks!

Physicians are human and subject to their own biases and mistakes. I could go on about how helpful patient/nursing/midlevel input is and has been to me personally in my career. But the point I'm trying to make here is that the shallow vs deep thinking shows up in medicine at obvious points and causes problems.
I've seen it happen enough times where a significant amount of complexity can be removed altogether by addressing a problem at the root in a fundamentally different way. Thousands upon thousands of lines of code can just disappear[1]. I have seen firsthand how complex Babel is, and I'm also skeptical about anything that claims it could replace Babel. But I also looked at Rome's parser and it's not trivially small, and the README says it's made by the same people who made Babel. So I have good reason to believe this is probably a serious restart with justifiable properties.

It’s worth noting their definition for obesity is BMI>40 as opposed to the normal definition of BMI>30. BMI>40 is considered “class 3” or “extreme” obesity.

That's reasonable though - my step-son has a serious kidney issue and being close to the reneal specialists in my area has always been a consideration for where to live.

Living with a rough disease is tough and my heart goes out to everyone that has to struggle in their daily lives but, it'll always be easier to relocate closer to the facility unless the trips are extremely infrequent and other factors are more important (like family, work etc...)

In Canada this is less bad since being forced to move away from work for medical care doesn't prevent you from affording that care - in the US this can result in an impossible choice but :shrug: the US is broken and unable to afford a good standard of living for their citizens.

I'm curious what others experience has been with Amazon during the lockdown/shelter-in-place orders.

For me, Amazon had turned into nearly a just in time service to acquire items. With the issues with quality, I started to move away from Amazon, and with the delivery time increase, I've all but stopped ordering from Amazon.

Now, I shop at a local Kroger subsidiary (Fred Meyer), and anything I can't locally, I just go without, except in rare circumstances (like a z270 mobo).

It alarms me that so many people look at the series of decisions, including the Supreme Court decision, and will argue 'yeah, this is fine'.

Sending people out in these cities was an ethical failure of enormous proportions, and the decision making processes that allowed it to reach that state should be roundly criticized.

If we aren't creative enough to realize that our systems require change at this period, that we actually need some level of societal organization change.

All organizations at all levels that blocked stay at home orders in Wisconsin no longer serve human welfare, and should be dropped.

Many solutions here:

1. Accept that a tiny portion of our population has extremely rare diseases (true by definition of rare disease lol), and that some portion of our socialized healthcare system involves flying the doctors to this population, or vice versa

2. Dump funding into telehealth solutions, including robotics.
I respectfully disagree that airframe manufacturers should not be bailed out.

Airframe manufacturer definitely should be preserved and not allowed to wither away. That kind of engineering/institutional knowledge should be preserved and developed.

For the sake our environment, I think COMMUTING to office work should become the norm.

Transportation (including commuting) is the country's second biggest source of carbon emissions, after the electricity sector. Both are far greater source of carbon emission than airline travel.

That's funny, I came to the almost opposite conclusion that the obvious answer was that everything is tradeoffs and compromises.

I suppose very easy things like consistent indentation width might be done perfectly in a codebase, but any non-trivial thing always could be "more X" or "less Y".

base 7 is very nearly e^2, and 20 is almost exactly e^3. Base 20 would fix many problems with floating point math, wouldn't it?

By the time someone built a base 20 computer it would probably be an anachronism anyway.
Indeed. The legislature should be held accountable in some way. But asking for punishment of arbitrary groups -- especially groups that do not have the power to do what you are asking -- is ridiculous.
Sure, it's neither feasible nor practical to sue individual users for using paywall bypassing tools, but a service with a distinct company presence that could potentially monetize said paywall bypassing would be a probable target for a C&D.

How could a bear population quadruple in a month of lockdown when the gestational period of a bear is 200+ days?
I am not. It is laudable that they are able to thrive in adverse environment. My complaint is specifically about the amount of marketshare and corresponding market power, which is already pretty big. At certain point, too much power has to be controlled. There is a reason we have antitrust laws.
Sorry, you're right of course. It is actually 0.8% of GDP, not 8%.
We shouldn't let bad precedent get in the way of a good decision. Unless you also believe Plessy v Fergusson should still be a thing.
It's really not clear it did.

The market, as such, changed overnight: tables in restaurants are worthless (for some period) and internet delivery is presumably a roaring trade. Restaurants have unexpected imbalances in their revenue streams; presumably if this was expected to go on a long time, they'd be renegotiating their contracts with GrubHub et al on the new basis.

This is an emergency order, for the period until restaurants can re-open for dining in. The mayor has apparently decided that local, small businesses need to be saved from the terms of their contracts with the third-party aggregators due to the suddenness of the change.

I'm a little surprised that the mayor has the authority to tear up those contracts, in any case.
That is the "Continuity Protocol". For a paper with a write-up on reverse engineering/tracking here is some stuff from last year. [1]

tldr, yes, it can be used to track individual users, but doing it at scale (like just about everything else) would be significantly more difficult. MACs randomize every 15 minutes, so that is not effective for long term tracking. Continuity Protocol allows a fairly effective way of tracking a device in a limited ecosystem, but with the expectation of large numbers of people spread over large areas, it would likely wind up being significantly less effective.

It's not "wasted" in the Go case. On modern systems, the ballast is only a few numbers in the virtual memory table as long as you don't touch it, which isn't that hard. The original blog post confirm it: https://blog.twitch.tv/en/2019/04/10/go-memory-ballast-how-i... search for "Now onto 2. Won’t this use up 10Gib of my precious RAM?"

It may be "nonsensical" but on the grand scale of "things done for memory management's sake" I find it unimpressive. (If 10GB were actually allocated and unavailable, I would find it impressive.)

Thanks for the feedback!

Interesting point about "first 15 minutes" - the service (and CLI) we're building will probably guide users into the CLI experience during that first ... maybe first 30-60 minutes, rather than 15, but _really_ early on as they get familiar with it.

From a UX standpoint, that discoverability you describe with the GUI is really about the affordances the user can discern with from the baseline state. That is, the 'rotate' button is visible without the user having to do any discovery at all, it's just _there_. What would the CLI equivalent be - I think part of it is the autocompletion scripts that bash/zsh let programs drop in to the `completions` directory so `command <TAB>` shows you all the possible next steps...? Worth thinking about.

That's why it is important to size one's bets in order to survive. Undersizing one's bets can reduce the windfall; oversizing one's bets can wipe out, leaving nothing to bet further. Practical people(unlike the theorists of Efficient Market) have studied this for a long time. That's what Kelly Criterion about portfolio management. Ed Thorp, first, utilized this.
> what are the advantages of "zero third-party dependencies"

Dependencies are great for solving problems you are not willing or capable of solving. They are great when you need them, but most software includes dependencies that aren't needed or even directly requested. That is bloat. For example the Angular JS framework requests nearly 1100 NPM dependencies. That is a tremendous amount of code for an insignificant value add.
It's gunna sound lame, but I've got a half dozen aliases to launch frequently edited files (writing a book), make database entries, and even a custom reboot to launch a selected application immediately upon reboot. I've got some IFTT alerts and Google alerts doing their thing if that counts.
Well if you’re the real deal, you’re the real deal :p I guess only celebrities/insta influencers have to keep up the image.

Casually hides Cracking the Coding Interview book
This release was discussed 6 months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21001969.

For discussion purposes, moving from Beta to RC doesn't make a new topic, i.e. the discussion tends to be substantially the same.

Edit: Even when a project goes from one version to another, there's rarely anything new in the thread about the new version, because the comments are nearly always about the project in general [1]. For example, in the present case, you'll find a few comments about XQuartz being removed (something which sounds like a major new development), but the vast majority are just about Inkscape in general. There's nothing wrong with that, but we need to limit the number of times it happens, or HN's front page would mostly be discussing the same projects over and over. Obviously there are exceptions in unusual cases, but when it's the same project, with the same version, going through two different statuses (like Beta to RC or actual release), you will be hard pressed to find the slightest difference in the threads.

That makes this post a duplicate by HN's rule (see [2]). I won't bury this one, but when this comes up again in a few weeks, let's not have a third thread.

Nothing against this project, of course. It's just that front page space is the scarcest resource HN has [3].

That blog post describes Linux's default 'memory overcommitment' behaviour. Oddly it fails to mention the term 'overcommit'.

As the post says, malloc can return null even where overcommit is used; it's not true that malloc never fails when overcommit is enabled.

Even if it were true that malloc/calloc/realloc/new/new[] could never fail on your OS+compiler, it doesn't seem wise to write code that relies on that non-standard guarantee. Poor robustness and portability.
