Sadly the list of journalists killed because they didn't want to sell out is long and growing steadily.
you must be joking, it's trending today because it still resonates with us.
>You argued that when we compare the average VRT additional latency is not large. But you should have argued that there was enough buffer between average VRTs and the time needed for a surgeon to react to allow adding to average VRT.

If you look at the paper I linked, it includes not just the mean but the standard deviation, which is on the order of 10-20ms. That means we are already by definition accepting that kind of variability regardless does it not? If +/- 10ms was critical, it'd imply we should be filtering for that already but it doesn't appear that's the case at all. Furthermore, hunting around for other research on the subject indicates far higher variability than that is also introduced by standard stress factors (lack of sleep, overload, distractions, etc). All of which are strongly present in existing medical practice as well. To the extent working remotely might reduce some of those it could in principle even effectively cancel out a 10ms penalty.

I stand by saying it's not at all clear that sub-10ms (or potentially even higher) would at all be the critical factor preventing remote work. Speed of light seems to be far less important then factors like total network disruption, robotics reliability, etc.

Ask HN: What would you tell yourself before you started a startup?
When are we going to start treating projects that are stuck on Python 2 the same way that we treated IE6 or Adobe Flash? I'm kind of sick of hearing the "well some people have to make technical tradeoffs in what they choose to support" argument. We're all trying to make better software here. Catch up.
But aren’t all those wrapped up into the gas tax? How else is that price increasing?

I think search algorithms still have a long way to go to really understand the intention. Try your image search results for

"white inventors" "black inventors" "asian inventors"
Doesn't quite deliver what would be expected.
yeah, this just makes the whole business of futures trading seem like a scam where the people actually interested in the things being traded are pawns.
If that's true, should we have the same kind of results when searching with "plain shirts", then?

Which is not the case: searching for "plain shirts" do not give similar results than searching for "shirts without stripes".
In Vo they first tested everyone, then there was 14 day lockdown for those infected, then they tested them again. 6 of them were still positive.

I have been wearing headphones a lot recently and I think I got an ear infection from them. I barely slept the last 2 days because my ears are itching so much. Although only when I lay, not when I sit.

And I purposely have been using over-ear headphones rather than in-ear devices, so I thought you do not get an infection from over-ear headphones
I've literally just started using PeerTube to host the actual videos, but my web site has the web pages on which the videos are embedded. I needed somewhere to host the actual videos because my server package doesn't give me enough space, I chose PeerTube because I hate Google with an irrational loathing, vimeo has limits that I'm likely to exceed, and the process with PeerTube was clear and simple. More, here was actually a person at the other end of the contact form when I had a question.

I'm not convinced I like the PeerTube recommendation systems, etc., but I'm just pointing people at my web pages, so it doesn't seem like that will matter.

I'll be interested to see other people's answers.

For reference, I am keeping copies of all the material on my own machines, just in case the PeerTube instance disappears. After all, "The Cloud" is just another name for other people's machines over which you have neither control nor authority.
That is beautiful. I hope the Roche branding means it's been quintuple checked - I'd love to have a version of that on my wall but I'd be perpetually terrified of a nosy biochemist (or a bored enough me) finding a typo haha.

I love how the metabolic pathways one is split into domains of metabolism and you can see the substrates and all that cross boundaries. You can really see how any level of zooming in would be it's own intensive area of biochemical research that you could give a hundred PhDs in, whether looking at the large scale interactions between each domain of metabolism, or looking at the details of one pathway, or the structure and functioning of just a single component of one of the enzymes.
Firms should only embark on NPV positive projects. It’s possible that the efficient gains from the new python features outweigh the cost, but tough to prove.
Same here, actually: used Alfred for a long time, finally got fed up with juggling the clipboard just a couple months ago.
So 10X vs 1000X+ (instead of 5X vs 1000X)?

Is that really a point worth making?
2016 is, but Eternal not.

EDIT: got fact-checked, I forgot 2016 is not native.
Many of the other studies have also been with populations that had relatively low numbers infected. Fortunately New York is about to do broad antibody testing themselves, so we should get better answers soon.

In my experience, it's been a number of years since the judgement call was something other than “can we avoid paying for maintenance?”. Active projects had reasons 5+ years ago but by now it's really just a question of whether your team has a handle on technical debt management or is on an unsustainable feature treadmill.
Raises hand I have a Multiprise 3000 and this is true for me, or would be if I could get the software that will actually bring up the mainframe hardware.
Justifying the conversion of a legacy project, that's still being maintained, is very difficult since the conversion doesn't necessarily bring anything tangible, without refactoring, especially if you have fixed dependencies. And, until python 3.7, the conversion would just make everything slower. That's something you never want on your justification list.
I recall using GEM on the Atari ST (the first computer I bought, for about $50 at a garage sale), and then using Owen's FreeGEM distribution at some point later on. I didn't really think it fit in with the theme of being DOS-Windows-OS/2 ish, although the Atari ST veresion seemed to use some modified form of FAT on floppy disks (based on the fact that the filesystem was readable but with mutations on the family DOS/WFW 3.11 machine). I certainly didn't feel like Windows in the same way that OS/2 feels like Windows.

That's great that you live in a free country that allows you to host your own blog.

If you lived in China and your blog was critical of the Chinese government you'd soon see how easy it is for your blog to be shut down.

Decentralization is the antidote to totalitarian creep. Sure it's only a few countries that are authoritarian today, what happens if most of the world goes that way? Will your blog still be safe then?

IRT leaked nudes - The feeds in scuttlebutt are immutable but blobs of data are not. If only you and your friends have a blob, and you request them to delete it and they do so, then no one else will be able to retrieve it or access it ever again because no one has a copy. This is the same as if the nudes were leaked any other way online.

Others will still see that you posted a blob because it's hash is in your immutable feed, but they won't be able to retrieve it.
Nice whataboutism. Call out those apps too if they get promoted here.

The federal taxes are true for everyone. So you can subtract that from your difference across the US.

But there’s no lack of competition, and plenty of apps like gas buddy that aid in that. That should put pressure to reduce prices, yet neighboring states can be so much lower. Something else is going on.
> Zoom’s defenders, including big-name Silicon Valley venture capitalists, say the onslaught of criticism is unfair. They argue that Zoom, originally designed for businesses, could not have anticipated a pandemic that would send legions of consumers flocking to its service in the span of a few weeks and using it for purposes — like elementary school classes and family celebrations — for which it was never intended.

> “I don’t think a lot of these things were predictable,” said Alex Stamos, a former chief security officer at Facebook who recently signed on as a security adviser to Zoom. “It’s like everyone decided to drive their cars on water.”

So they're saying because this product was designed for business rather than consumer, it wasn't necessary to build it securely? How the fuck does that make any sense?
We have that too! Think IUDs or implants, which last for years. Some are even hormone free! They last about 3-10 years, depending on which specific device we’re talking about.

What’s fascinating is that these are for men, and the reactions around that specific detail reveals a lot about us as a society.
Didn't know about that, thanks, will surely try when I reach my computer.
Yes, ad hoc/DIY masks feel intuitively wrong because normally it's illegal, and looks very threatening, to cover so much of your face like that.

And minorities often feel it harder:

https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/07/us/face-masks-ethnicity-coron...

As for NYC, I assume even without explicit overriding, police are under orders not to enforce the "no masks" part.

Even beyond the legal bit, I assume there's a real security risk too, since actual robbers have cover for wearing a mask and people won't raise their guard or (of course) call the police about it.

> Now I know a lot of FOSS enthusiasts will be unhappy about the idealistic part of the recommendation, but hear me out.

Then what is the author talking about? Why would anyone be unhappy about the "idealistic" part then? I stopped reading after that, concluding, that it probably was not free software and that's what the author was relating to. Further reading though reveals, that the author does not know what they are talking about actually:

> My ideals for FOSS dwindled swiftly when I had to make something work in the real world. Not everyone can use everything truly FOSS all the time.

Sounds rather like a justification to "just in this one case use non-free software", but wait for it ...

> At least ONLYOFFICE is open source (AGPL-3.0, specifically) and not proprietary like Microsoft Office.

Great! Another one of those people, who fail to acknowledge free software and just label everything "open source" or just don't know the difference. Sorry, we do not need this to promote actually free software. Wrong-labeling something and in that way ascribing quality work to another set of ideals (or the lack of such) does not help.

So after reading, I still don't get the initial statement about the "idealistic part", as it really seems to be free (not only open) software.

Does this study make the same mistakes as the Standford study?
Java is moving to complicated generics though, see project Valhalla, although not like C++ templates, but more about specialization for primitive types, which can be a huge performance win.
This sounds like a political opinion, but every part of it is a simple, commonly acknowledged fact
Vectorization FTW
Personally I just use Shift-Shift for practically everything. Saves me learning someone else's keymap or dealing with platform-specific bindings, and there are quite a few useful commands that aren't bound to keys anyway.
Exactly. But it has the advantage that nobody at the government needs to figure out what the exceptional cases are.

They seriously think that we are all unquestioning, credulous simpletons.
There was something cool and sweet about the MS-DOS command prompt simplicity (compared to UNIX) and the OS itself being single-user with a (limited) multi-tasking capability. I have always dreamed of a true 32-bit continuation of it, and OS/2 seemed to have promised to be that, but something happened along the way...
No need to be thrifty. I live not too far from the Iowa border in a relatively small MN town. I work remote for a company based in SF and know I make a percentage less than the senior engineers that live out there. If I had to guess, I would guess I make about a junior developers salary. That salary goes a long way here. There are very few senior engineering positions that will match what I'm making, but the culture is not the same. I'm maxing out retirement accounts, 401k's, HSA's, Roth IRA's and I'll have a paid of house by the end of the year.
Looking at the monthly post "Who wants to be hired?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22749306 perhaps you should add "Location", "Remote" and "Willing to relocate".

Because an MBA will realize that they're "leaving money on the table" and not "maximizing shareholder value" by selling ad free subscription services.

Subscription based services also require you to be authenticated and that enables fine grained invasive tracking. Something traditional media couldn't do.

If delivery costs were a factor then I shouldn't be charged $15 for an ebook with near zero distribution costs when a paperback was $5 before ebooks came onto the scene and introduced a new incentive for price gouging.
How about not buying the trash card and instead opting for regular paper or fully electronic?

Each tiny piece of complex trash adds to a horribly polluted landfill...

Recycling indeed is not cost effective or even impossible. Even cardboard can be contaminated with wax or paint enough to prevent recycling or require use of expensive and dangerous solvents.

Perhaps Asian way of outright banning bad packaging and products is the solution.
Valve should ship the Steam Client native for ARM/Raspberry Pi Linux users.

It's a fairly large underserved community when it comes to gaming, and they're practically all Linux boxes, and the latest gens are perfectly capable of modern 3D gaming, if not all the AAA titles.
Flashback: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Bolles
Completely agreed — I would just argue that the “Python 2 vs. 3” argument is a distraction. Java hasn't had as breaking a change but there are still a ton of places running Java 6 or 7 because they like skimping on developers more than getting security updates.
outline.com is cool. Did not know about this service. It seems it uses https://hypothes.is/ (btw. open source) for annotations too. Cool.
Restoring React reducer state across browser sessions
One particular criticism of the Stanford study was that they recruited via Facebook adverts, and that method may be influenced in recruitment by the "desire to get a test if you had reason to believe that you, or someone near you, had the virus"

In more detail: https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2020/04/19/fatal-flaw...

This USC study seems to have recruited differently: "Participants were recruited via a proprietary database that is representative of the county population. The database is maintained by LRW Group, a market research firm"

Why do you want to discourage replies to old comments?
I'm curious because I'd also like to take steps to lower my carbon footprint. How do you travel for vacations? Do you only take local ones? And also how about people that you want to see in other areas of the country/world?
I acknowledge the union involvement. And yet, I deny that it is the whole story. For example:

"Over the 20th century, work hours shortened by almost half, mostly due to rising wages brought about by renewed economic growth, with a supporting role from trade unions, collective bargaining, and progressive legislation. The workweek, in most of the industrialized world, dropped steadily, to about 40 hours after World War II."

(From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_time#History )

"Mostly due to rising wages brought about by economic growth." Without the economic growth, we're left with the choice of longer hours or a painfully reduced standard of living.

I wouldn't bet on it. I tried to write stuff for android a decade ago and it was horrible. Then tried 5 years later when they released Android Studio. Still roughly just as horrible. I'm not keen on trying it now. I'll give it another 5 years or a decade.

And it's not that I have thin skin. I find web development pretty nice and have no qualms about all of the js libraries.
First of all, I wish you luck and strength. I can't really imagine how this must be for you.

Thank you for providing the extra details — I especially agree with your conclusion: go to your boss and say “even if we pay, we're looking at a drop dead date no later than 2024”.
You imply that there is some list of prioritization out there. President Trump has repeatedly maintained that the Federal Government is not in charge of organizing who has what, and that the States should be managing this.

Given this lack of control (or even central organizing), who exactly would be determining who has the priority that you are asserting?
The curves won't have the same shape if test availability and circumstances under which people are tested change. And I think those things are definitely changing over time.

It's not how long it takes me, it's how long it takes Ubuntu. Usually, a few years...

If I don't want to use OS packages, I have to decide to package, build, deploy, and maintain the Python packages, often in a way that separates it from the system Python package, while also managing any Python libraries we need (some of which may be C extensions and require compiling).

Whenever possible, I like to leverage upstream packaging so that I don't have to track security updates on my own.

I say this as someone who used to maintain the official Python.org RPM packages.
Same with the Diamond Princess.
Just out of curiosity, do you speak out of first hand experience, that it is not hard?

When you sell a game, people expect it to just run. Windows only games have already countless bugs, making it impossible to start for quite some people. Now add to that Android (with all its different versions and vendor specific implementations) Apple with a slightly different ecosystem .. and then Linux Desktops.

Lets just say, that I am making a game. Even open source. And I want cross-platform, but don't want to get mad along the way and I want to focus on the gameplay and not platform specific code. (and did not want to use unity for various reasons)

Thats why I choose HTML5 as the platform.
How many Steam games work on ARM?
~60% of respondents have <2 years experience with the language.

I'd really like to see this filtered to developers with >5 years go experience. What do the experienced go devs want from the language? How do they use it?

I've got a little over 9 years of almost daily use and I have little in common with the devs in my org that are earlier in their career and coming to go with a head full of some other language.
Where there's smoke, there's fire.

I think it's quite possible, many places have laws against covering one's face (during a protest or otherwise) and if they made it illegal to go out without face mask protection during the covid crisis you could find yourself in this situation.
In regards to the issue of selection bias, this is what the ad looked like:

https://twitter.com/foxjust/status/1251270848075440133

Quote from ad: "We are looking for participants to get tested for antibodies to COVID-19."

A quote from someone who participated in the study:

"I participated in the study because I had been sick the week before and was very curious. In the intake questionnaire they asked if I had recent symptoms. I'm unpleasantly surprised that they seem not to have made an effort to use that data to unbias the study."

https://twitter.com/mattmcnaughton/status/125132223548416819...

Another:

"I was part of this study and that is totally why I signed up! People I talked to who tried to sign up had similar reasons. Lots of subjects at the testing site wearing masks, more than you see at the grocery, more evidence that a lot of us were more conscious about transmission"

https://twitter.com/McSalter/status/1251511091294691328

It's very hard to deny that selection bias may have played a part here.
Not sure what significance there is. Sure, some intermediate statistics change (e.g. what is the true percentage of bad reactions). But nothing changes the true death rate, which is what, the single largest mortality stat in America right now? Arguing over this fraction and that, isn't going to make this less deadly.
Clarifying question...the "strong indications" are that the best explanation of how Blue Flame Medical acquired the inventory it boasts of is that it must be conspiring with the feds?
RE: modules and vendoring, you should no longer have to worry about a package going away now that proxies have been introduced (the default proxy right now being proxy.golang.org).

You should be able to pull all your modules from a proxy, minus any private repos you control (which you can either setup our own proxy for OR set The GOPROXY var to go direct to vcs for it).

Also, not vendoring should give you a smaller repo and build speed shouldn’t suffer too much (proxy caching and such).
