And if you actually USED late 90's Gimp you'd know that there are so few buttons because there weren't actually any tools. Gimp was a complete joke and so feature-incomplete compared to Photosop, Paintshop, Corel Draw, or anything else that the only people that used it were literally too damn poor to afford other software or too ideologically driven to ever use closed source.

And what do you mean by "why aren't we in control of this?" "WE" are. Just download the source and fix it to your liking. Problem solved! It's open source!
To the extent that you're anti-fragile the sign flips and emotional labor leaves behind a credit balance. To a candle flame the wind is an existential threat but if you're a bonfire the wind can make you an inferno.

That's Nassim Taleb's spin. Nietzsche would say that which does not kill you makes you stronger. Neither of which is very helpful if it does blow out your candle.

Technical debt can't so easily be converted to credit with an attitude adjustment, breaking the metaphor.
Agreed that US as a whole can have a high IFR.

Santa Clara county though is one of the healthiest places in the US. Life expectancy of 84 exceeds Italy in fact.
PL/I has done it, famously, and just as famously the language has turned out horribly misdesigned and complex, and it also has missed out on most new ideas. (Still in use though.)
Show HN: Plain Old Recipe: convert online recipes to plain-text
Yeah, I still have a chase account, but mostly use them for smaller day to day things (also CC). Most of my paycheck and pretty much all my bills go to a local credit union account. Not to mention, when I went to chase, they had ATMs all over, now not so much.
The argument, as I understand it, is that they typically have near 100% vaccination. Akin to herd immunity in that cohort. If they did not have that, it would be much worse.
i'm sorry but i came here earlier today and wanted to comment how there is literally zero examples or demos on the site without actually registering, however many beat me to it. so i saw that the author was going to put up a demo video and i waited. now seeing the demo video i have to say, what was i waiting for. i watched the video and there is nothing demoing how to actually build the app. all i see is a video of someone fiddling with setting for an already completed app. where are the demo showing how to easy it will be to connect your graphql service to this. where is the demo showing how to actually build a screen with data being pulled from graphql. sorry dude, but imho, you missed the mark with this. again you proved that programmers make lousy marketers.
It was some HGTV show, possibly "What's with that house?" My recollection: He had some huge, sprawling, insane house in the desert with his own indoor shooting range. It took seven years to build it. The host of the show pointed out that the Empire State Building only took two years, iirc.
> Is it usual to see healthcare workers dying of flu as well, like they do with COVID due to high viral load?

SARS-1 (2002/2003) wiped out ICU staff in both Toronto and S. Korea.

"High viral load" is an undefined term, so I won't comment on that.
You have to manually edit the display for every single instance of an item, rather than just being able to set it for all items of that type? That seems tedious and error-prone.
I get the impression that Bluetooth 5 is better on multiple counts — based on a set of TaoTronics headphones I’ve used. (Most of the devices available currently use Bluetooth 4.2, afaik)
I still play on GJOpen if not only because the variety of topics is greater but I also like some of the players there and what they have to say. Brier score approaches also feel more rigorous.
This is spot on. I've been slowly switching from class based React to hooks based with Suspense, and a couple of things have become super clear.

1) hooks are magical, finicky, abstraction that don't play well with promises. They save code at a cost of understandability, subtlety, and new rules. I wrote a ton of Perl, and fundamentally believe that 1 line is better than 2 lines, weirdly hooks are making me rethink that belief.

2) Throwing promises is super tricky... I just wrote a class based component to cache the results of a hook, so I could wrap it into a function that would throw. I am not proud. 5 layers of abstraction needed where the same thing in a class based structure would be 2.

3) The hard part of UI is and always will be state. React (initially) got it mostly right. Redux was a detour, and this seems a much better way forward.

Best of luck with this, I'll be rooting for you.
> That's driving away the JavaScript/RoR/hipster crowd which is the lifeblood of Rust's adoption.

I'll bite. Why?

Rust is a system-level programming language.
I prefer LitElement; no reinventing of the wheel like JSX etc. do and no build required. Plus you get browser supported CSS scoping and life cycle support.
Probably, but Windows is terrible at everything UX so that doesn't mean much.
People always say unemployment is undercounted, especially in the US, but I believe the rates are based on surveying people and anyone is counted if they say they want to work (more).

I'm very skeptical that furloughed people would not be counted, because I just don't think the process works that way.

Of course, maybe things have changed. The depressing thing about cynicism is it means you end up having no resistance to it becoming a reality.
> If the true mortality rate is tiny, how did this virus manage to kill 153k people in 3 months?

Because there's 7 billion people on earth.

> People have been saying "Flu kills 30k Americans every year" and now 30k Americans died of this disease in 3 months AFTER locking up the entire country.

It's been spreading world-wide since Dec.

I think the trouble with anecdotes is there is always a counter anecdote.

In our state there has been a spate of doctors committing suicides. A doctor, when interviewed about the phenomenon, had a similar story to yours, but with a different outcome. Someone who had spent a fair amount of time in the military, including combat, decided to become a doctor later in life. He found the work environment so toxic he couldn't handle it. Nothing in the military/combat prepared him for this. In the military, you are surrounded by people who will give their lives for you, whereas in the work environment he was in there was always a sense of "no one has your back".

I don't know how common this sentiment is in the medical industry, but I do remember a medical student friend of mine talking about how in smaller cities, surgeons work hard to make the lives of other surgeons difficult, in the hopes that they will leave and they can thus charge hospitals more to perform surgeries (even though the need for more surgeons existed).

Anyway, I don't see this as a "first world problem" or a "good problem to have". You can have these exact same problems while failing - it's fairly orthogonal to success.
Another common trap is to believe a widely known simple method must be better just because you are unfamiliar with state of the art research.

Many times people have specifically researched why a certain method is better than status quo in practice, on real world data with real world operating constraints.

A good example is the paper “Let’s Put the Garbage-Can Regressions and Garbage-Can Probits Where They Belong” - explain an extremely common and hugely severe problem with “garbage can” regression models.

That's deliberate. The saying "a picture is better than a thousand words" doesn't apply when the picture is 16x16 pixels.

Every single icon that makes sense to you now (the floppy disk, the binoculars...) do so because you learned them a long time ago; it's funny how you can now find YT videos that explain where that weird blue icon for the "save" function comes from.

The images are just a mnemonic device - in the sense that the sign is partly related to the meaning (the binoculars could very well mean "zoom in" in an alternative world). Certainly a stronger connection works better because it helps to remember, but they are not meant to help with "understanding" what the button does.

It is the same deal as with keyboard shortcuts. ctrl+S is Save, but you know that ctrl+V is Paste and it has absolutely nothing to do with spelling.
How air quality has improved during the coronavirus crisis
Actually from the video, he miscalculated so it's optimized only when the basket is farther away then usual from the backboard. I would theorize that this may have made the solution work better, albeit unintentionally.
Time codes inside of analog terrestrial NTSC sounds really easy and obvious.

Given that nobody did it, it would appear that even though legally people like Mr. Rogers were making the case for time-shift programming, the industry must have assumed it was a minor use case.
That's true, but I put that in the bucket of "C++ needs a package manager so that we can use dependencies more complicated than a single header file".
FWIW, if you're interested Nvidia-centric GPGPU stuff, Nvidia's tech conference went online-only this year and is free for all: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/gtc/
Time shifting doesn't require a clock, if you are home to start recording, but a clock helps with programmatic recording.
GIMP's UI/UX has been garbage since long before 18.04. Not contradicting anything you're saying, just noting that it might not be the representative example you're looking for.
The Salton Sea is already an ecological issue in terms of the run off and salinity you mentioned. Additionally there are economic concerns.

One of the plans is to use local geothermal power for desalination. Importing saltwater to freshwater lakes would disrupt ecosystems. Depth wouldn't necessarily be an advantage if we are are looking for evaporation.

How is it different from a Newton-Raphson approach, which requires you to make an initial guess as it iterates through several derivatives to get to the root?
Haha well light can, if far enough away from a black hole!
Indeed. I think it's fair to say that OpenCL is excellent for targeting a very wide range of devices, with the exception of most high performance GPUs.
sudoaza, do you think its a coincidence that the virus outbreak began about 1/2 a mile from the Wuhan Institute of Virology?

Your argument is that Dr. Montagnier must be wrong because he believes in some crazy stuff, and you must be right because you became a virus expert about 2 months ago. I looked through your old posts and you mostly post about political stuff, so you obviously don't work in medicine, but hey I guess you know more than Dr. Montagnier, right?
People have been trying for, IIRC, 15+ years to add a full-fledged type system to Erlang, and the distributed nature keeps defeating them. This problem may never be solved.
It looks normal. Our shop (assembly line building full aircraft from material stock, 2 football fields long) was like that except most of the workers were filipino or hispanic, wearing street clothes. When they filmed a TV commercial there, they brought in actors wearing red jumpsuits to scurry around as technicians. Because like you, that is what the public expects.
Thank you for the detailed reply, exactly what I was looking for and very interesting!
Right. And obesity is, in general, preventable. That is, C19 is a symptom. The underlying "disease" is how generally unhealthy the average citizen is.

Got super sick. Like near death level. Recovery took a year. Would be homeless if I hadn’t been able to run an Airbnb. It paid most of my housing cost.

Changing a room over would take 1-6 hours because I was so weak and slow.

But it gave me time to recover and start working again.

I found keeping price up kept the trouble makers away.

Being super flexible on everything Kept rooms booked near 100%.

Glad to not be doing it anymore but it probably saved my life.

Meet lots of interesting people. Several stories from it.

I also own a LOT of air filters now due to all the the various international cooking.
Yeah, the F-35 is actually milled down during/after assembly for low observables. However, the Mig-21 can hit the same speeds as the XB-1 and it has panel gaps visible from several meters.

I did some reading and the XB-1 does use hydraulics. From VEP and other companies.

It looks like they will be using titanium leading edges to handle the heat loads.

They are using a J85-GE-15. I don't think that will allow them to reach M2.2. Closer to M1.7 or so? Depends on the inlets I think.
(I was wrong on the engines. They are using 3x engines, not the 2x afterburning that I was expecting. So the speed looks reasonable)
I came to Erlang (and HN) after this time period, but apparently there was a period during which the language appeared on the HN front page a ridiculous amount, sometime around 2010 perhaps?

With the rise of Elixir it’s been getting a fairly steady stream of mentions here.
A small demo page that involves collating thumbnails/previews of live streams from FB, IG, Twitch, and Zoom.

While the facebook API clearly shows how to post a livestream to FB, the reverse is obviously much less supported. What systems could I use to programmatically pull livestreams from each / any of these platforms? What ToS considerations would I have to be aware of?
Yes, PredictIt. I didn't want to say it because I don't think anyone here who is feeling stressed about money should consider it an option. I had a least a year or more of practice on a play money site, Hypermind, which has real money prize pools.
Hi - Callum here. Feel free to drop me an email at callum@infstream.com if you have any questions or would like to discuss anything further.
I disagree with his argument of the end of cheap energy. Even if oil were to become very expensive, we could use nuclear power. It is more expensive than natural gas, but it can power the economy. Also, countries with hydro power would have an economic advantage in a post oil world. Countries with these power sources would become manufacturing hubs.
Wait until you find out all of the crazy stuff Sir Isaac Newton believed in.
Growing under artificial lighting is extremely challenging. A lot of study goes into selecting the right kind of lights with a spectrum that closely matches natural light. (An ordinary light bulb won't cut it.)

Once the proper lights are found, energy consumption and cooling are so significant that it's not really economical to grow food indoors.

If you want to understand this more, I suggest looking up how to grow pot indoors. (It's really interesting to read, even if you never plan on doing it.) A significant amount of pot is grown indoors because it's easier to keep hidden than growing outdoors. (And, the stores that cater to indoor vegetable gardens really just cater to people growing pot in their closet or basement.)

(BTW, people growing lots of pot indoors are easy to find due to electricity consumption and strange heat signatures from their homes. Some people get caught after large blizzards because the snow on their roof melts unusually fast.)

Correction: about 10 years. Erlang was created in the mid-80s.
My biggest caution here is to establish early on a culture of solidarity, not charity, in the foundational values of the organization. Same goes for community-based human-centered design, where those with power are facilitating the design process for whatever the users decide are their problems and appropriate solutions.

Otherwise, codependency and hierarchy are allowed to flourish.

For all the cynical comments here, 3M has published guidance on sanitizing and disinfecting half and full facepiece respirators:

Bad analogy. A puddle is a local system, governed by local random conditions (e.g. the sun as in that example)

The strong anthropic principle makes a statement about the fine tuning of the one and only, non-random, system that governs all systems.

I.e. the rudimentary physics & chemistry that happens to favours determine carbon based life generally.
How is the game mechanics different from the Monikers?

Edit: Nevermind. Monikers is a version of the fishbowl game.
Yes, this drives me nuts.

I'd also say that when viewing something like a "1:100 year rain event" to understand that it's just a model there, and not always the actual probability, and to try to understand what limitations might exist. Climate change is likely making some events like that more frequent for example.
The US completed 542 liberty ships in 1942, and 1943 was their peak production year: https://www.mathscinotes.com/2018/05/liberty-ship-production...

They reduced liberty ship production in 1944 to produce warships (which are more complex and were produced in much lower numbers)
You pick a random position and a random shot (angle, speed), see where it hits the backboard, and then change the angle of the backboard there to direct the ball through the rim after the bounce. Do this enough times, and you have a surface. (I don't know how the number work out, so there are probably points that have multiple values and surfaces with discontinuities. I guess you average the values at a given point and then smooth the surface, and call that "as good as possible".)
I'm back to working on my unintended consequences project (https://unintendedconsequenc.es/).
Someone had suggested microwaving - it doesn’t destroy static charge.
Dan Abramov responded to this on r/javascript and mentioned that the rationale for Suspense wasn't so much to chase some academic concept of purity (and shoehorning caching in to the system to make it happen), but rather that Suspense was there to support a pre-existing need for a cache for cases like snappy back/forward routing.

Personally, I'm a bit on the side of Crank's author that I feel that the direction React has been taking wrt async support feels weird. Can't really put into words, but if I had to try, I'd say React's answer to async feels like something getting lost in translation. There are certainly interesting ideas being explored, for example, in Dan's blog post about algebraic effects[1]. But I feel that Crank's approach feels like a more elegant way of "translating" that concept into JS than the whole promise-throwing thing that React seems to be pursuing.

Followup: I did a very rough prototype on my current Vulkan runner; all the good stuff is in the prefix.comp kernel code. It's not doing the fancy stuff, in particular it doesn't parallelize the lookback code, so that ends up taking a bunch of time. But it does give an example of how to use the Vulkan memory model, for which I've seen very little in the way of published material.

If anyone is interested in tuning this and doing a performance comparison, please get in touch. It'd make a good blog post, I think, but already the time I've spent on it is a distraction from the renderer.

The absence of certain types of bias does not preclude nor excuse the existence of other types.

>There is a lot of evidence pointing to a really diverse, generally progressive industry with, if anything, a higher over representation (compared to the population) of multiple minority groups, different gender identities and a much more inclusivity conscious mindset than probably any other industry.

That is not true. Retail, labor, non-tech administration are good examples to the contrary. The difference in pay and prestige is telling.
You don't take measurements over a single day, that's what I meant by integrating. You take measurements over a long period of time and analyze them.
It's slightly more than just frequency. Magenta colours don't show up in the spectrum for instance.

But yeah it's basically just hue, saturation and brightness. And your choice of colourspace is more or less arbitrary although there's been quite a bit of research on what colours humans consider to be 'close' or 'equally bright' and even which combinations are 'pleasing' but that last one is hard to make precise.
Gnome and KDE are both worse than useless - They poison other, useful projects.

There is never going to be a unified GUI for Linux; that requires a dictator. KDE tried to provide the carrot of development-ease, Gnome tried to generate some reality distortion, but nobody cared. Carrots don't work. As far as I'm concerned, the experiment is over and it is time to embrace the chaos.

Now, this is easy for me to say, I'm mostly a command-line person anyway, and have spent most of my working life dealing with horrible UI. But it does have a lot of implications for Linux that I think a lot of people are not ready to accept.

I spent years homeless and I have an incurable medical condition. I'm quite confident that being able to get VC money for your startup idea makes you one of the elite few in the world and puts your logistical problems concerning how to make the business a wild success squarely in the camp of "first world problems" and trying to figure out how to get rich following your dreams squarely in the camp of "one of the better problems for a human on Earth to have to wrestle with."

That doesn't mean there are no real challenges. But to some extent, perspective is a matter of choice.

You can choose to freak out every minute of every day about the latest supply chain snafu or whatever or you can look out your window at the homeless bum on the corner, realize he probably has very intractable and nightmarish personal problems or he wouldn't be a homeless bum and get a grip on your big emotional reaction.

Please note the guy in my story went into business, not medicine. This is a forum about business, not medicine.

Medicine is a whole other ball game and not comparable to the sorts of problems you run into as a founder of a business.
I also help with buying PPE currently and it's not 5x markup by the seller only. Everything got more expensive. Input material, machines, shipping. This results in the final price being 5x (or more). It's not the greed of one sales person (mostly).

Most factories I work with are NOT looking to take advantage of the situation. It actually hurts them because they can't accept new orders when they don't know the future cost of raw material next week.
