> You are endangering others‘ lives each time you drive. And yet you’re not inline at the DMV surrendering your license, why?

You are endangering other drivers' lives with their consent; any time they get behind the wheel, they acknowledge the risk to themselves from other drivers as well as themselves. You're also required to carry insurance to help cover the cost of screwing up and hurting or killing other people.

Please tell me how other people are consenting to your risking of their lives because you want to go get a haircut. Also please let me know which insurance company will pay out in the case that you directly and recklessly infect someone and they die.

Not sure what this has do to with anything. I'm trying to assume a charitable interpretation of what you're asking, but this just sounds like trolling.
I sold my other equipment and just have a pull up station now. I use it for different pull up variations (wide grip, chin up, etc), dips, and knee/leg raises.

Aside from that, I do some stretching, climb the stairs in my apartment for cardio/legs (30 floors), do a few pushups, bodyweight squats, etc.
Given that I’ve wanted to make apps for learning languages but always get lost in the weeds of various spaced repetition algorithms - would love this kind of open source resource. If anyones interested in making this kind of thing, I’d love to chip in.

For example I notice it’s really common for spaced repetition algorithms to really easily allow me to shoot myself in the face by learning too much up front and then drowning in reviews; or to destroy myself by missing a few days. Not sure what is out there, but some extensions I’d like as a user is to be “I don’t want to spend more than x time per day doing this, so pace me please”, things like:

- the ability to specify a max “learning load” taking into account projected reviews + new cards

- the ability to “recover” from missed days not by seeing 1000 pending reviews and panicking, but by saying “do an extra 10 cards a day and in two weeks you’ll be caught up”

I’m sure I’m not the first one to think of these things but I don’t know how to research what people have done - and if these kinds of usability things, good documentation with clear comparisons of strategies, flexibility of use in different environments/languages were encapsulated in a library it would be a game changer for me.
Yeah, fair enough - Australia has had good results with their policies, too.
Yes. This argument style passed its sell-by date long ago and I have lost patience with those who practice it.
This is what I love about it - it's actually hard to do things elegantly.

It has a skill curve where playing at a high level is something you learn over a long period of time. It gives it immense replayability to delight in the opportunity to build something slightly more robust or scalable.

If you derive enjoyment from the learning part and set your expectations appropriately (so you don't feel frustrated expecting more from yourself than your skill level), it becomes really addicting.

PS: https://factorioprints.com/ is a great inspiration if you just don't have time to figure out things yourself.
And there are big differences in social cohesion between countries. Voluntary efforts appear to be sufficient in Sweden precisely because there is a high level of compliance.

In the meantime, the coastal town that I live in is getting swarmed with out of town visitors every weekend. This is in violation of the shelter-in-place orders. Other towns have stepped up enforcement to combat this type of behavior, but our police department is small and does not have the resources. We shut down the parking lots, but now they just park in the neighborhoods. And to add insult to injury, we have a large senior housing complex at the entrance point to my neighborhood.

I have little faith that the US could achieve the type of distancing and isolation necessary on a voluntary basis. There is a sharp vein of individualism that runs through our society that works strongly against us in these types of situations.
Many constitutional rights have qualifications, and "the law" is both statutory and based on case law. You don't have a constitutional right to a trial by a jury of your peers for non-serious crimes. A serious offense is generally one with a potential penalty of more than 6 months in jail. Baldwin v New York is one case where this was tested.

I recommend a camera cover slider. This one works great.

It gives me some sense of physical security that hackers can’t penetrate the camera, or corporate can’t spy on me, since they’re now installing desktop screen capture spyware on your laptops. They can probably spy on you by stealthily activating the microphone, but that’s a different problem.

i have a 14" with a 16:9 1920 and a 13" with a 3:2 2160 screen, you can barely notice the difference, and with linux and fractional scaling being p.i.t.a i prefer the 14"1080 screen, the 13" i cannot run at 100% its just to small at 2160x1440.
i also have a macbook 15.6" that i run at 1920. that is perfect for me. the 4k makes more sense to me at a desktop 27" monitor, but at laptop all those pixels are lost.

That's really cool; does anyone know of a similar business in Seattle? I could use a height adjustable table at home while I'm stuck working here in our currently-indefinite quarantine.
The problem is most likely caused by the other party not using a headset. Even the cheap ones result in much better sound quality than the laptop microphone. Another factor can be lack of bandwidth.

Audio quality in Zoom itself is superb according to my experience. Webex is applying some heavy compression. Teams is closer to Zoom, but not as good.

And I would say the root cause is people not knowing how bad they sound. Others don't complain, because they don't want to spend time debugging one participants audio setup. It would help if all the conferencing tools would provide easy to use tools for testing your setup (record message, play it back). Maybe one could even offer (as an option) a forced audio check before you can join the meeting.
I haven’t worked with C in quite a while, but this repository is beautiful and wants me to look into the language again. Very readable to me and also well formatted.
I feel the exact same way. It's interesting that you mention Rimworld - I dived into Rimworld when I first got it and came to appreciate the way little things add up in that game and make the simulation more interesting (be it positive or negative). The complicated UI is slowly unraveled and becomes intuitive as you learn the game because there are simple feedback mechanisms for actions that affect your colonists.

Everyone tells me I'd love factorio. Every time I load up the intro tutorial I have the intention of finally diving in and just.... nothing. I can't get into it. I don't feel an incentive to learn the building and crafting UI's. It just feels like work. I'm not even sure why I'm building the things I'm building, or what the aim of the game is.

Maybe rimworld sucks me in because I can immediately empathize with the plight of the survivor, whereas factorio seems to be all about building efficient machines for the sake of building efficient machines.

1) This is also true for some US states which are not yet reopening.

2) The Swedes avoided a complete shutdown of their economy. There is similarity between their approach and countries/states which are now reopening, i.e. social distancing and a subset of industry WFH.

Schmidhuber: Critique of Honda Prize for Dr. Hinton
I think it's the other way around. CB create money as compared to governments, and they are rather insulated from pressure to create money in normal times. The point being to limit the danger of runaway inflation if governments decide to print money arbitrarily. BUT I am very very far from being an expert or even terribly well read on any of this.

It seems to me it would be a lot more useful if we create money and the government spends it (e.g. on infrastructure, or by distributing it directly to people most likely to spend it), rather than indirectly creating it through QE (which in mechanism, if not in effect seems quite different from printing money), etc.
Spyro without textures and only gourand shading looks like every mobile game from 2009-2019.

From the examples it looks like the textures in Spyro were mostly about hiding all the ugliness around the edges from the straight gourand shader output, aside from the characters.

Do you believe it is reasonable for customers to see this and expect that a drive called "WD 6TB Red" when you purchased previously and when you go to purchase it now, that are described identically, with no way to purchase the previous model, and know that the fundamentals of the storage medium have changed and completely flip it's performance characteristics?

Especially when the drive is specifically marketed as being RAID and NAS friendly - one of the primary differences between the Red and Green drives is disabling some of the sleep power saving mechanisms that are known to cause issues with RAID arrays. And they make it so that the drive is largely unusable in any parity based array? When minor revisions, updated firmware, etc., will result in minor changes to model numbers all the time?

Because, well, I don't.
I think these programmers were forced to understand their subject matter much better than today.

Say for (a silly) example you want the first 10 000 digits of Pi. It's pretty easy to just store that today. But back then you didn't just have to know what Pi is, you had to have the smallest program to calculate it that you can think of.

Would be interesting to hear too how Tekken 3's coders managed to work with 2 MB of RAM.

You are comparing apples to oranges here. Starting up a whole new "study group" community is not the same as opening up a pizza restaurant.

I don't mean to be harsh or mean but OP is treating this as a product rather than a hobby projects with producthunt submissions etc. when in reality it's a barebones clone of a standard application that already exists.

Open communities benefit from numbers. Another developer to Anki even if you'd just wrap around nice web ui around it would be significantly more efficient and valuable then reimplementing the same spaced learning logic and starting everything from 0.

The whole point of Anki is to standardize this field - it's libre software made for the medium not for profit.
This also means depending on the internet. In the near future even isolated regional ISP outages would have bigget impacts on the economy

> As someone that stopped playing games in university, I've found it weirdly hard to get back into games many years later.

> Factorio seems like the type of game I would've liked as a teenager, but now it just feels like work to me.

Same. I was an avid AoE, Survival Horror and Gran Turismo nerd (quitting right before the GT academy happened to my dismay) and I held quite a few records during the outbeak days. But it fell off my radar entirely after sophomore year in University.

I got into Factorio for a week after Steam allowed Bitcoin purchases and I had a go as it looked interesting; I ended up playing like 6 hours a day only to come to the same conclusion you did: this is work, with clearly little to no ROI or ultimate gratification.

So with that in mind, I went on youtube, saw the ending and got over it and stopped a time sink right away.

Even when I thought I'd try to create a solar only Factorio factory, only to see one on Youtube and hearing the guy sunk 1000s of hours into it and scoffed at the idea.

I uninstalled it entirely when I realized how the gaming Industry was migrating toward a free-ware micro tx based business model that relies on in game purchases for upgrades like Fortnite.

These things are designed and optimized for targeting those with addictive behavioural patterns.

I still want to build a driving simulator like this one day, but half the process and challenge will be the build itself:

Unfortunately there's no writeup or such about it, but I worked on a doomed (ha!) project to port Unreal 1 to PSX. I was doing level design at the time. The programmers did manage to get a functioning renderer up. It was limited to more simple geometry than the PC software renderer could handle at the time, but still worked enough you could have made a game on it, had other things not gone wrong with the project. If you search for "Unreal PSX" you'll find some work by a couple diehard retro unreal fans to try to finish up some of the partially completed content.
Yeah I feel the right way to solve this bug (in the compiler) would be to stat the file. Or maybe docker mounts it with -noatime (or something similar?)

I would actually think that Tesla would be less affected by this pandemic.

Why? Because their target market, are people that would be last to be laid off. Not entirely of course, but they are the programmers that can work from home, or the senior managers that can jump between companies if they’re laid off.

Of course, the lockdown is affecting everyone, but Tesla has always targeted the affluent and entrepreneurial, as their primary customers.

And let’s be realistic here, these people that can afford an $80k Tesla, are not concerned about the price of gasoline.

Me too, they are so tiny and powerful! Just got the 64GB Frost Canyon one, awesome little thing. Running it with an Nvidia 2080Ti via Razor Core Chroma and Ubuntu 20.04. GPU Compute (CUDA) works, which is really the only thing I need it for, but I cannot get it properly working with a display though.
And yet most frequent use cases seem to be developping web services. So pretty different from building container engines.
If everything just starts up with rent due and evictions happening to a significant population you just have a second wave of recession and a collapse of the rental market. I’d assume most people, particularly landlords and local government would want to avoid that.

Not sure about that: unanimity means that anyone can hold hostage the whole process and make arbitrary demands in exchange for their vote, so it really only works when everyone can be trusted to act in good faith or when it doesn't matter if the process is indefinitely blocked.
I think the opposite - in most aspects unanimity would fail spectacularly. First, it would be incredibly easy to abuse intentionally. Second, it would put everyone at mercy of the one inflexible person totally convinced he is always right.

> Learning to negotiate in a non-adversarial way is an undervalued skill.

Absolutely. But another important systematically undertaught skill is how to operate when facing bad actors, narcissistic and such. These people destroy teams and institutions, precisely because most people dont know how to deal with them and most advice about good communication pretends they dont exist.

Intel can still play the marketing budget game where it can bundle Thunderbolt ( for Apple ) or WiFi Module all while lowering price. ( For Server they were doing it with SSD )

If anything I think that was one of the reason how Apple got their MacBook Air to be priced at $999.

Despite having the better product, AMD will still need to work on its marketing message, support material, distribution channel, Sales, and forecasting. Right now AMD seems to be winning at Technical while Intel is winning at operating.
I can tell you've put some thought into this :)

I'd love to contribute towards a repo to work on this.
Are you on a Mac just because of the CPU?

What do you do that solely depends on the CPU and would improve so much by moving to AMD, at the cost of a completely different OS and software?

When we have a plan that doesn't involve the likely death of thousands of people.

I get it's frustrating to not have a timeline and that the stakes are high. But as shitty as it's gonna sound, life's not fair.

But in terms of metric, people are actually talking about what stats to look at, mainly the reproduction rate (Cuomo refers to it as infection rate in his watch the dial slide) vs. hospital capacity. Angela Merkel went on at some length about it. But it'll take time, and to avoid new waves, we need testing, and I haven't heard anything about US plans for that, which honestly scares me.
Yeah we sadly don't do inference right now. The initial vision was for the product to be a nice UI to let people build Bayesian networks, but now we're focusing more on a mainstream audience so probably won't be adding inference at all!
Facebook will censor itself out of relevance as its usefulness for connection and building relationships is replaced by insistence on creating a safe space for pro-establishment propaganda.

It was already selectively flagging certain news articles as true or not, countering certain misinformation while conveniently missing others. It's a questionable practice to become the gatekeepers of fact when the fourth estate itself is held to no such legal standard.

The centralized web needs to stop this subtle censorship. We can't rely on the opinions of a few to censor the many in any fair or equitable way, look at Twitter/Reddit/YouTube...
