You don't have to be elderly to be baffled by the "amazing disappearing user interface". I've accidentally turned off UI bits in everything from browsers to dev environments to PDF viewers to games. Invariably the affordance of "please unhide this UI element" is more minimal/obscure than it should be because the goal of hiding the UI element runs counter to "leave a nice big affordance behind so I know how to get the damn thing back".
UX to me is finding a compromise between designers who want it as sparse as possible and users who want "homer cars".

As a Haskell developer I can appreciate this. We really take pride in our terse syntax, but it can be really jarring for people not familiar with an ML-style language. You are going to rob a lot of people the experience of using your implementation if you don't cater to their familiarness with other more common syntax. This is my first time hearing about your project, but I sincerely look forward to reading more about it!

I think the point of these hamfisted rules, intentionally or not, is to push responsibility for the spread of the virus onto the public and provide scapegoats to point to when it continues to spread. Or else people would start to blame lack of government preparation and action.

Where I live we have had more citations issued in the past two weeks than new virus cases, about three times more. At a certain point, it is not even the gov being heavy handed - unclear rules just take the shackles off petty authoritarian cops.
That OECD study, and its implications, was a major inspiration for my essay "The Tyranny of the Minimum Viable User"

https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/69wk8y/the_tyr...

The problem is that we're stuck between a. rock and a hard place. People -- the general population -- need to have useful devices and interfaces. The market will fill that need. But even very modestly advanced users, to say nothing of elite one, those who make technology happen, are left out.

From the essay:

Let's assume, with good reason, that the Minimum Viable User wants and needs a simple, largely pushbutton, heavily GUI, systems interface.

What does this cost us?

The answer is in the list of Unix Philosophy Violating Tasks:

In any case, we have a whole lot of data (Iceland RTPCR, Gangelt RTPCR, Switzerland RTPCR, Netherlands blood donation serology, Santa Clara County serology) that indicates infection rates likely exceed case rates by 10x

It would be really cool if you could feed the network a photo with flash that it could use for gathering more information, but then recreated a photo without flash from the non-flash raw.

Often flash is not the look people are going for, but would be okay with the flash firing in order to improve the non-flash photo.
Isn't it consistent though? There is a confidence interval associated with all of these numbers and the intervals are quite wide.

The average Joe should not be held complicit for this. I think there is a general understanding what a problem this kind of corruption is but effectively no way for most people to resist it without undertaking extraordinary personal risk or expense. They're also very effectively propagandized into believing one side or the other will fix the problem if we can just get them enough power.

I completely agree it is difficult and that's also my point - that shared multi-thread is very tricky to get right, and there is a significant benefit to isolated event loops (even if they are running on threads, they should be isolated).

I like this article by Herb Sutter "The Trouble With Locks". http://gotw.ca/publications/mill36.htm

I have used multi-(fiber/thread/process) extensively, and at the right place they are useful tools. But by far, threads which share data (especially opaque) are the most tricky to get right. The combinatorial explosion of program states is very hard to deal with in practice and "it works for me" is a very common testing strategy.

The price premium comes from shipping and the cost of time.

MOST suppliers and even stateside vendors are trying to use Fedex, UPS, DHL. Many profiteers/altruists have already seen the possibilities here, and it is crowded but has irreconcilable limitations. You need your own cargo planes, shutting out most of the market. Plenty of other pitfalls too. With the risk involved, the "public health" ethical debate around pricing now falls flat, there is fortune involved in overcoming these hurdles.

People IN THE US want supplies IN THE US, not 10-15 days later with threat of seizure by CCP, by Customs in China, by Customs in US, by Federal Government and questionable product validity. So there is still actual, irreconcilable scarcity, because even the fastest trendiest entreprenuers just really cannot tell and operate on assurances, whereas the people that can have a limited supply that is bought instantly in a constant bidding war.
Completely agree with you and to me that's why it's an exciting challenge. I'm not expecting to solve every problem, but I'm trying to carve out a solution which I think works for these legacy issues. Even if we didn't have a solution for the last 25 years, no harm in adding one now! :)

Hah most banks I saw explicitly told people not to email about PPP loans, never mind unofficial courtesy status updates!
It exposes an interesting flaw in people's thinking where they hear percent and immediately convert it to a binary (75% -> Yes, 29% -> No). If pressed most would probably claim to understand that 75% means "every 4th time we see this it won't work" and 29% "nearly every 3rd time it will", but in my experience most people act more appropriately for the binary outcome than the probabilistic one.

Thinking and acting to the probability model is almost a superpower; I keep finding I'm ready for 1 in 10 style events that other people don't see coming. After being told authoritatively there is a 10% chance of it happening, no less. Eg, I will look at what a 1:100 year rain event in an area will cause then make long term decisions around it.

Where do you live? :-) We unfortunately had spun down our DTC sales not long before this damn thing hit, but if you're in one of our markets (Bay Area, LA, Seattle, Portland, Montreal, Chicago, NYC, ME, MA, or NC) then you can probably find our stuff in the right local shop. Inconnu, Lalalu, Kitsune, and Papa JaJa are our brands.

We're looking into ways to get DTC back up and running now though, looks like lots of beverage sales have switched to that channel.

I didn't work on the security audit implementation though. I actually forgot what security firm we used, but it was local in our area.

I don't recall exactly how this is done in graphQL, but i believe we used the context object and made a request to our database to find the users role. GraphQL endpoints have 4 arguments, the 4th one specifies the datagraph payload coming in.

On the subject of family therapy things in general, the broad concepts taught in them are so good, some of them can come up in groups and basic interaction.

Good book: Interpersonal Process in Therapy: An Integrative Model

As I say this though, Family therapy is intense stuff that I don't think would make sense out of nowhere. Unless they were open minded and willing to put the legwork in. I've been exposed to it many times over years and didn't really connect with it.

Ever been through family / life / circumstances where you were dependent on a selfish jerk who viewed others as their own pin cushion, with no interest in cooperation? Come out of those a couple of times, then look these concepts/books up. You'll get where they're coming from!

2) Economically beneficial to most countries that would elect to do it in the long term.
Actually, I was looking at how audio loops work, and it seems like the low context switching overhead of fibers could be really great for stacks of effects and filters. Because the overhead is very small and predictable, and the ergonomics of fibers is easier to deal with, it could make for a really nice interface.
As someone stated earlier large banks like these most likely gave out loans to existing debtors so they could pay them back and so they could make a healthy fee on paying themselves back.

Vim Tips: Using the Equal Sign Character
If Rust's competitor is C++, you don't need to attract Rails developers, you need to attract C++ developers.

If anything, i would say that over the last year or so, too much effort has been put into making Rust a competitor for web development, what with async, and lots of attention paid to web frameworks. Meanwhile, C++ people i know mostly look at it and say "meh, no const generics, no placement new".
> New entrants to computers understand these new paradigms innately because they are already surrounded by the new context.

Much of the argument is based on the idea that the paradigm is very weak. You have things like menus, where no one really agrees upon the form (traditional menu bar, hamburger menu, ribbon). When a menu is offered by a program, there is very little agreement upon where it goes (menu bar in the title bar, or below it; hamburger menu in the top right, or top left). When menus are categorized there is even less agreement about what belongs where. That is looking at just one UI element.

These muddled user interfaces wouldn't be so bad if it was a transition period that would carry us forward another 10 or 20 years. It would simply be a new design language that we communicate through. Yet there is no real evidence that is happening. The article's author pointed out that it would be easy to confuse the pictured stack of six title bars as belonging to three applications, I can one-up that by thinking that there were only two applications after a quick glance. Part of the problem is that they are mixing too many paradigms when overloading title bars. (The four title bars looked like the title bar, menu bar, tab bar, web page head for a single window while the last two title bars looked like a title bar and tab bar for a single window to my eyes.) The ability to create this artificial situation is an amusing outcome, it hides a more serious problem: there is no agreement upon what these overloaded title bars should look like.

I doubt that there will ever be agreement simply because many of the design decisions these days are about branding.
While interfacing a physics engine is hard, I feel like it would be hard to forget to add the radius in a physics simulation, making mistakes like this rather difficult.

So yeah, you can reinvent the wheel but using specialized tools gets the job done too, usually with less painful mistakes, but that's the price to pay for the lack of learning you get with the tool.
They do, and are usually pretty responsive to questions like this if you send them email at hn@ycombinator.com. I don't know if that's what's happening here, though.

For example, despite having a copy of one of Holzer's books next to my bed, I downvoted your "Sepp [heart]" comment. It's just not the right comment for HN: no context, and emoticons are really frowned on. If instead you'd written a few sentences explaining why you admire him, so that people who don't know who he is could understand, you'd probably have gotten a bunch of upvotes.

I'm sorry if it feels like people are attacking you. It's really not, instead it's really about trying to keep the site as good as it currently is. Almost all comment heavy sites of this age have declined to be unusable by now, but because of the different moderation approach, HN manages to (at least occasionally) still have quality discussion.
One of the arguments, given in the Supreme Court, by Mr. Rogers, to permit the VCR to be legally owned (I know how crazy this is sounding but it's real) was to time shift programming ... which requires a functioning clock.

Fred Rogers, 1984:
"I have always felt that with the advent of all of this new technology that allows people to tape the 'Neighborhood' off-the-air ... they then become much more active in the programming of their family’s television life. Very frankly, I am opposed to people being programmed by others. My whole approach in broadcasting has always been ‘You are an important person just the way you are. You can make healthy decisions’ ... I just feel that anything that allows a person to be more active in the control of his or her life, in a healthy way, is important."

see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Corp._of_America_v._Unive....

There's definitely non-crazy ways of doing this ... but it requires what at first blush, would appear to be a complicated interface.
ROCm provides a good OpenCL 2.x implementation targeting AMD GCN. The compiler/optimizer is clang-based. It is open-source. One great thing is that ROCm OpenCL supports GCN assembly in the OpenCL source, which is handy in some corner-cases that are not properly handled by the optimizer.
The difficulty he's describing also applies to wavelet transforms: higher frequency bands have wider bandwidth, so they need to be sampled more often. This means the resolution is different in different frequency bands. With the short-time fourier transform (STFT), which is widely used in Music Information Retrieval, each frequency band has the same bandwidth and is sampled at the same rate, so the output of the transform is a rectangular matrix. With a wavelet transform the output is sort of a trapezoid, because you have more samples in higher frequencies.

In both cases though it's possible to losslessly round-trip the audio within numerical precision (neither the STFT nor the Wavelet transform lose information).

750,000 loans of $150,000 would use about $112 billion in funds -- less than 1/3rd of the allocated amount. But if, as you stated, the average loan was only $51,000, then these smaller loans comprised a much smaller piece of the total.

The way the statistics are presented is purposefully designed to obfuscate the fact that the vast majority of funds went to large businesses while small ones were very often shut out.
