Also the expression of neuro-diversity is usually more severe (do not have a linke for that one).

While we are at it, can we talk about the loop deformation, too?

Aka, evolution as a blind machinery, adapting humanity to the cycle of strife, by allowing neuro-diverse speacilizations to exist, which in turn try to propagate the circumstances they thrive in.

Thanks to science, we had a nice 90 years of surplus and plenty, basically bribing ourselves out of natures grasp. Now the whole messy affair returns with a vengance, and it will be interesting to see, if leviathan-cybernetics ( aka societal implants (cellphones, self-surveilance etc.)) can reign the forces of the old world in, were wishfull thinking and society regulation mechanisms (religions, rules, etc.)fail.
Ask HN: How does Roam Research “call home”?
I’ve been trying to figure out how Roam Research (https://roamresearch.com/) sends data back and forth from and to the server.

The app seems very responsive, and when I add/omit/edit objects, there’s nothing under the Network tab in Chrome’s dev tools.

How is RR doing this? I noticed IndexedDB instances but deleting them didn’t seem to affect anything.
You'd be surprised, at least in London (and I'm sure even worse in SF/NYC) you can have an enormous mortgage for a small apartment.
In no particular order:

* create throwaway accounts as necessary with no PII

* use a VPN on any networks I do not have insight into or control over the infrastructure.

* use a password manager. Have previous used Lastpass, currently use 1Password.

* Back up the data from the password manager on some frequency. I export my vaults from 1Password approximately every quarter, encrypt the results, and store that on an offline drive I have.

* Do almost all browsing in Firefox configured to erase all cookies and other site data every time it's closed. Yes, this is a pain in the ass.

* 2FA everything. Disable 2FA over SMS when possible.

* My "recovery" email is a paid service I use for nothing else. I don't send mail from it. I don't use it as the primary email on any accounts. It has 2FA. It does not have an address book. Delete any recovery emails sent after use, there's no archive of mail.

* For all financial accounts, the account email (e.g. ykdxq@example.com) is an alias to an email account. The email account is only used for financial services. The login username is a 32 byte sha1 hash from /dev/random piped through base64. The password is 64 bytes, stored in my password manager. The account has 2FA. If you have the account email and even (somehow) the password you cannot log in as it's not the login for the account.

* I will not use a financial service that does not provide some level of non–SMS 2FA.

* My primary email address is a paid G Suite account. It has 2FA set up in multiple ways. I use it for all email and most non–financial online accounts. I keep two years' email in it, periodically manually archiving email to mbox format and then deleting it (I do not use Google's data retention policies).

* My public cell phone number isn't tied to a physical phone. I do not use it for 2FA. When I need a number for 2FA I use a non-public cell phone number I do not use for anything else. I am still susceptible to sim-swapping and am still looking for a better solution here.

* I keep the text string of every TOTP QR code in an encrypted disk image. The default state of the image is locked, I have to unlock it whenever I want to store or retrieve data from it.

* I keep multiple encrypted backups of everything of value. Some are stored in the cloud, others on drives.

* I keep encrypted backups of all critical data (e.g. 1Password exports) on encrypted USB keys.

I used to think that having an S/MIME and/or PGP key would be the key thing and, well, I've never once really had to use either.
That's what I call a high "impact factor"!
have you used this in production ? any recco ?
Not so good when "Create store" fails to do anything. (Firefox, Linux)
Tail recursion is not slower. A properly tail recursive function can be transformed into a jump, and not mutating loop variables makes flow analysis less complex.

Scheme implementations usually doesn't even bother doing type inference once you start using set!, and just implicitly boxes everything that you mutate. Of course you _can_ optimize it, but once you have a language with multi-shot continuations you are probably better off encouraging immutability.

Yes! That was more or less my point. But since we're all confused anyways: Do you have an example for a real 2D game engine? with "game structure" as you call it.
perl is also very concise
I mean, you kind of describe web-component.

Or if you are old-school, PHP templating, you can do a simple: `<div><?php include('about.html'); ?></div>`

This is how I did most of my static files website 10+ years ago. I had an `index.php` file that based on URL will load the content of an article. This is what PHP was created for.
Not really. It's hard to get along with people if I know that they're opposite me on some very important political axis, or they think I'm going to their version of Hell.

I know I'm more sensitive about this than most people. I'm also generally not good at making friends. But it's a fact.
One of the big reasons why I quit R 10 years ago and never looked back - Python wasn't secretely converting anything, AND failing silently when its not the expected type.

That's the key phrase in his statement.

I'm not familiar with Rust, but if compilation speed is a major issue, and there are aspects of the compilation that are avoidable to trade-off for runtime performance, it seems to be a good idea to make those configurable per-build-type. Does Rust not offer this?
Side-note: you don't need to completely severe a cable to lose signal, you just need to damage enough the fiber core inside. Although recent cables are a lot more flexible, bending or stretching will still do. Some electricians are still killing fiber optic cables these days installing/manipulating them like copper cables.
Wealthy Borrower: "Why can't I refi lower?"

Lender: "No, because your loan isn't secured by the government"

Wealthy Borrower: "I am just using logic here, you're telling me a riskier borrower with lower credit than me can refi?"

Lender: "If their loan is secured by the government, yes"

Are you really using logic? Seems like a dubious claim to me. Capitalism is a harsh mistress Mr.1%. Don't like it move to Denmark.
most obvious alibaba or aliexpress goods on Amazon can be bought cheaper from one of the other places, and if it's a weird item (like a bicycle hub motor) it'll generally be from the same merchant group.

no, insects are simply the carriers... also all insects aren't the same, most of your produce is pollinated by insects; they're also the base for a very complex food chain that would collapse without insects

This isn't uncommon, and as I understand it follows directly from the typical HR policy of only confirming the essentials, such as title, dates of employment and reason for leaving. Companies care more about possible litigation than they do about helping you with your next job.

However, in my experience it's haphazardly enforced. If you're on good terms with a colleague or manager, it's my understanding (IANAL) that they can still provide an informal or personal reference. In practice, for most prospective employers this is just as good as a formal reference (since most companies these days have the aforementioned policy anyways).
Same here. I love using pwsh 7 on windows, but on Linux it was a whole different experience. Granted I was trying to use it on an Arch instance, which isn't technically supported, but I couldn't even get PSGet or PsReadLine to work.
However, I was pretty great to run the same scripts cross OS with basic commands like Invoke-WebMethod/Invoke-RestMethod

Open Letter to Dr. Anthony Fauci: Stay the Course but Do Not Play the Game
> My numbers were for Stockholm

This is the first time in this entire comment chain that you mentioned that, just pointing that out.

But yeah, you're right. 901 excess deaths for Stockholms län during those three weeks according to SCB, with 518 covid-19 deaths according to c19.se

So Sweden is probably still underreporting. Expanding the area to the entire country makes the discrepancy smaller, but at the same time Stockholm has been hardest hit, so that's still consistent with underreporting. Interesting!
There's simple carbohydrates in flour, so presumably that's what the comment is implying.
The Y chromosome only codes for 55 genes, while the X chromosome codes for 900 genes [1].
The Y chromosome self-evidently doesn't contain genes necessary for basic survival, because females don't have it.
Males have only one X chromosome.
Each cell in a human female has one X chromosome fully active and another one partially active [2], which means their phenotype, as far at it depends on the X chromosome, has lower variance because of partial averaging.

Timeline

2011 -- ARM announces 64-bit ISA

2012 -- ARM announces they are working on A53 and A57 and AMD annouces they'll be shipping Opteron A1100 in 2014.

2013 -- The Apple A7 ships doubling performance over ARM's A15 design.

2013 -- Qualcomm employee leaks that Apple's timeline floored them and their roadmap was "nowhere close to Apple's" (Qualcomm seems to switch to A57 design around here in desperation -- probably why the 810 was so disliked and terrible).

2014 -- Apple ships the A8 improving performance 25%.

early 2015 -- Samsung and Qualcomm devices ship with A57. Anandtech accurately describes it saying "Architecturally, the Cortex A57 is much like a tweaked Cortex A15 with 64-bit support." Unsurprisingly, the performance is very similar to A15.

late 2015 -- Apple ships A9 with a 70% boost in CPU performance.

later 2015 -- Qualcomm ships the custo 64-bit kryo architecture as the 820. It regresses in some areas, but offers massive improvements in others for something close to a 30% performance improvement over the 810 with A57 cores.

2016 -- AMD finally launches the A1100. ARM finally ships the A72 as their first design really tailored to the new 64-bit ISA.

Final Scores

Apple -- 2 years to ship new high-performance design

ARM -- 4 years to ship high-performance design, 5 years for new design

Qualcomm -- 4.5 to 5 years to ship new high-performance design

Sorry, something's definitely fishy. Nobody can design and ship that good of a processor in less than 2 years.

Yes! A few years back I was asked to teach a philosophy class (having done no philosophy in many years... go figure!) and this podcast was instrumental in helping me to review the basics and form in my mind a solid overview of the history of major philosophical ideas and insights. It really helped me feel more prepared to teach the course. Highly recommended!
That is an amazingly naive and biased article. You seem to be very keen on accurate statistics - so how do you square the statement that:

>Sweden has a mortality rate that’s only about twice as high as that of Denmark, which has a strict lockdown

Sweden's mortality rate per million: 198.5

Denmark: 68

"about twice"?

Not to mention:
Norway: 36.5 per million

Finland: 31.2

Strictly speaking, we shouldn't even compare ourselves to Denmark, whose population is much more geographically concentrated. By far the closest demographic match is Norway - where the mortality rate is 1/6.
I don't think those words mean what you think they mean.
Godamn I hate capitalism. Homey has major depression and has to worry about whether a 6 month gap will prevent him from making a living. Shits fucked up.
"... it's not clear at all what our "drastic action" is achieving..."

It's no coincidence that the city that shows a much higher prevalence also experienced a much more acute infection, straining their medical infrastructure. That isn't evidence that social distancing doesn't work, it's evidence that the infection was already well on its way before social distancing was implemented there. NYC was the canary in the coal mine that triggered social distancing across the US, and as a result the experience in NYC has not been repeated elsewhere. Aside from the results, which should speak for themselves, the epidemiological connection between R0 and the prevailing rate of social interaction is clear, which is why it's accounted for in the models.

Fast FFmpeg JPEG2000 Decoder on Nvidia GPU
On a single display, I think I prefer HiDPI X to Windows. But the moment there's two displays with significantly different dpi, Windows runs rings around anything on Linux. Windows is surely buggy - I have serious problems with its multi-monitor support - but it seems that its multi hi dpi only occasionally crashes Firefox and it's otherwise reasonable.

With Xorg, there's no effective support for different dpi. So if you can tolerate the variation in pixel size then it's tolerable, but if they're too much it all breaks. Moreover, many apps completely ignore the dpi. For instance, Spotify which is is almost unreadably low contrast doubles down and it's unreadably small too.

With Wayland, it's unusable since any seriously productive app will be shown at at least quadruple size the moment you require pixel doubling, X apps will be pixel doubled twice and Wayland native apps all seem to be toys. This seems to have been a bug that was first report years ago so I suppose they're waiting until someone rights a Wayland version of Firefox and Jetbrains and so forth.

Fortunately, this motivated me to by a 4k screen which I'm happy with. It's only tolerably different than my hidpi laptop screen so I don't need to worry about X's mono-dpi-ism. But it's still incredibly frustrating.
Instant and anonymous audio conferencing service, no registration required
Definitely. It doesn't even require poverty. I worked in film & TV on the back end. My former boss was pilfering 4/O copper wiring (I managed the stock) and trying to pin me for it. The guy made over $100K CAD a year. He wasn't suffering.

He was caught loading up his pickup before operating hours and running it to the scrap metal shop down the street.
No, definitely not! I couldn't see anything in the logs. So I assume not all required fields were filled out when creating the store. Highlighting those needs some work. Thanks for pointing it out.
Agreed on the HN demographic. I have lived in the NYC metro area and felt the pain of expensive housing, and I would only do it again if I met your definition of rich.

Isn't it a common known fact that while average IQ is the same for males and females, male IQ varies more and hence there are more male idiots as well as more male geniuses?

I'm sure you can google the IQ variance stuff.

I'm also willing to bet the height distribution, libido, interest in hobbies, single-mindedness vary a lot more in males than in females.

Politically correctness aside, wouldn't it make perfect sense that the sex that produces more gametes in a day than whole countries of opposite sex in their entire lifetimes would be the sex with more variance in any kind of feature because the potential rewards for taking a genetic risk could also pay a lot more than for the other sex?

I don't think it's necessarily convenience. PWAs are loved by developers but they kind of suck for usrs. Native apps should use less battery, memory, and cpu. On a desktop machine, that might not be a big deal, but it is on mobile.
Don't forget to factor in inflation. I have heard what someone was making 25 years ago in a help desk type role. It sounded low, but adjusting for inflation showed they were making just as much as I was as an intermediate developer with more responsibilities. They also had more profit sharing than I do now.

I've been at my current job for a little less than a decade. I can say that my pay is pretty similar to when I started if you account for inflation, 1 promotion, and the slight tenure-based increase in profit sharing. Looking at glassdoor's salary estimator, I seem to be priced correctly.

This suggests that salaries might be roughly the same as a decade ago and that salaries may have gone down in the longer term. These are just anecdotal. I seem to remember the longterm trend was covered in an article. I have also heard that you need to job hop to really increase your compensation.
Yeah! I have found that writing rust as I write scheme (with some limits, of course) usually means code runs fast without having to even think about the borrow checker.

Sometimes iterators aren't enough though, and if I had reliable sibling recursion in debug mode, most of my use of loop would disappear.

Testing and tracing would have been a great idea in February when the outbreak could still be contained. Now it's gone too far for that to be practical. So we're likely to end up with ~70% infected eventually (approximate herd immunity limit), it's just a question of when.
That missing ) is bothering me
That's a somewhat misleading comparison even for the time. All his C++ files could be compiled in parallel and recompiled incrementally, and his need for -flto to get good performance is really just due to how he structured his program. He seems to regard cpp files as the default location for functions and inlining as an optimization, but IMO it's the opposite. An empty function goes in the header, and every function starts off empty. You move it to a cpp file once it requires including a header. Moving a heavy function from a header to a cpp file is an action to optimize the compile time of your program.

On the other hand, it could be worse. There are some monstrously slow template libraries out there, and he's not using any of them. His code isn't very optimized, but it's sane.
> The best thing it does still is books.

Well, that's a pretty strong indictment of how badly their business operates. Every book I've ever ordered from Amazon has been damaged (either badly folded covers or even ripped pages). I started buying from local bookshops and the experience is infinitely better.
To the point where the ACLU actively defended KKK members' First Amendment rights multiple times.

Second, and more directly related to the events of this weekend, there are important reasons for our long history of defending freedom of speech — including speech we abhor. We fundamentally believe that our democracy will be better and stronger for engaging and hearing divergent views. Racism and bigotry will not be eradicated if we merely force them underground. Equality and justice will only be achieved if society looks such bigotry squarely in the eyes and renounces it. Not all speech is morally equivalent, but the airing of hateful speech allows people of good will to confront the implications of such speech and reject bigotry, discrimination and hate. This contestation of values can only happen if the exchange of ideas is out in the open.

There is another practical reason that we have defended the free speech rights of Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan. Today, as much as ever, the forces of white supremacy and the forces for equality and justice are locked in fierce battles, not only in Washington but in state houses and city councils around the country. Some government decision-makers are deeply opposed to the speech we support. We simply never want government to be in a position to favor or disfavor particular viewpoints. And the fact is, government officials — from the local to the national — are more apt to suppress the speech of individuals or groups who disagree with government positions. Many of the landmark First Amendment cases, such as NAACP v. Claiborne Hardware and New York Times v. Sullivan, have been fought by African-American civil rights activists. Preventing the government from controlling speech is absolutely necessary to the promotion of equality.

No, the compatability libraries are still there and Steam and Proton will run fine.
Might has something to with it being easier to come up with new crackpot theories than announcing policy changes. Kind of like "then debunk the conspiracy" doesn't really work, since this requires a disproportional amount of effort. Society might be able to handle this additional effort in a "low noise" environment, but hardly when motivated actors got their foot in the door already.
> expect that rollbacks could have unexpected

Expect the unexpected? Sure anything can happen.

But paxys is specifically referring to expected (known) side-effects of rollbacks. For example if Foo and Bar are on versions Foo.3 and Bar.3, and we know rolling back to Bar.2 breaks Foo.3, then you broke backwards compatibility. Generally all combinations of possible rollbacks must continue to work, e.g., {Foo.2, Foo.3} x {Bar.2, Bar.3}. The number of rollbacks is limited to 1 or 2 versions, e.g., Foo.1 and Bar.1 cannot be used anymore.
