You’re viewing people as defined by their membership in a race, which is a deeply racist worldview.

Let’s judge people on the content of their character and not color of their skin:

Why should a poor Asian student from a troubled neighborhood be denied while a wealthy black kid with lower scores is admitted?

“Because Asians elsewhere do well while blacks elsewhere struggle” is an inherently racist answer.

I don’t support racism, even if you claim you’re racist for the “right” reasons — like every other bigot in history.

Is it well meaning? The behaviour of the advocates for these sorts of policies fits vastly closer to

* Want to dehumanise people by seeing them only as a member of their respective groups

* Want an excuse to hate on a particular group of people

* Constructed a story where doing that makes them the good guys

than

* looked at the problems people have

* tried to understand them

* tried to come up with a solution which would improve things
In reality, if you want to actually make a serious, usable and comfortable GUI, there is no cross-platform solution. There are many attempts, but none will let you create a GUI that actually fulfils all those requirements.

If you are making something serious, you will have to implement at least the GUI layer separately for all platforms.

OK, if you actually think the president was recommending that people start injecting themselves at home, rather than asking a scientist if there could be experiments to develop a new treatment, then we’re simply not experiencing the same reality, so not much point in discussing further.
I agree with all this. Part of the problem, however, is the American college system. Why is it so important to go to a school like Cornell, CMU, or UPenn? I'm not saying you shouldn't want to go to a school like that -- they probably are better, and you do deserve a fair shot at attending one of them. But the stratification of our university system does a disservice to students. In my experience, the most important factor in learning is intrinsic motivation -- the sort of motivation that comes from within, which doesn't depend on which school you're at. I went to an elite private institution for college, and I've learned more in community college courses, I'd wager, because I cared more about what I was learning. This isn't to say that you won't get superior instruction at a Harvard or Cornell; you likely will. So it is unfair, deeply. But it shouldn't be this way. We should level the playing field -- make all universities "pretty good". Fund them, publicly. End the price-gouging private institutions are allowed to inflict on their students, even if it means those institutions close. Europe is a good model: university there is much more self-directed and equitable, and the opportunities to do great research do still exist. We need to break free of the Ivy League system and remember that university is about learning, not competition.

It's a terrible use-case that causes data loss for users, for FOUR years now: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1616650

I despise the bug, it causes so much trouble without a way to turn it off. Plus the switch to snap happened exactly during a critical vuln which meant people were running on critically vulnerable chromium for weeks.
Everyone is talking about this microoptimization on the math of the access but all I can think about is how the data structure you are building using this is probably memory bandwidth limited and powers-of-two storage is almost definitely going to cause some kind of cache line aliasing, so maybe you should try something non-obvious like "division by 3" (after doing three key comparisons instead of one) and see if it makes your algorithm much much faster than messing around with a division by 2; there was even some good analysis of this effect a while back I can reference.

I think there’s an outside chance it could happen. Jerry Seinfeld has a deal with Netflix. Netflix has been exploring interactive television technology, for example that choose your own adventure black mirror episode that came out last year. I could imagine Netflix meeting with these guys and pitching a deal where Seinfeld/Castle Rock most of the money.
I was thinking about making something like this, but I never actually started to seriously evaluate the idea.

Just to be clear, they are both related coronaviruses that are extremely similar on a molecular level. What would lead you to believe that things that are generally true for viruses and especially true for the highly related SARS-COV would not be true for SARS-COV2?
This kind of deliberate but trivial breakage can't be an accident, and there's enought precedent ("let's screw with the VS/office interface today shall we"). So MS is up to something else, perhaps trying to keep themselves in the news? or something else.

But I don't believe that 'correcting' a typographical convention is what this is directly about.
Hiring - People who are great remote workers are a small percentage of the available talent, so you often end up either with talented people who don't do well remotely, or less talented people who are great at working remote. There certainly are people out there with both traits, but it takes a ton of effort to find them and build a team of them.

Fix Is Out for Intel Ice Lake Performance Drop on Linux with the Dell XPS 7390
For me, my argument is this: yes the contact tracing apps could infringe on my privacy rights as an individual. But app could be effective in notifying potential exposed individuals. If that individual knows this information, he/she can take the right action to protect him/herself and his/her family. Thus the app protects people's right to live and right to good health. I know people always talk about right to free speech and movement etc, but I believe right to live is another human right, in fact, its the most important human right. Rights to free speech is useless if you are dead. Second, when the virus is not growing exponentially, this contact tracing capability would allows us to quickly stop emerging outbreaks, then we can feel comfortable to stop stay at home orders and open up the economy. Therefore, the app also protects right to movement.

So its a trade off, would you want to trade privacy rights to right to live and right to move? For me, it is yes.

In addition, we know that we can reduce the risk of privacy infringement by designing the system properly, as they are doing it here. We could also use block chain technology to implement the database so that no central authority can know which exact individual has been to where. The database could also not store personally identifiable information. We could use cryptographic computing techniques so that no one, not even the software engineers working the project can know which person has been to where.

I know people are scared about the potential privacy infringement here. But if we don't try to come up with effective ways to stop the spread of the virus, there are people dying due to getting sick. And there are families who could not feed themselves because we shut down the economy.

Excuse my question, but why even Ubuntu? Isn't something like Manjaro better?
In code which uses tabs one logical indentation level is always one tab. You can show tab with different width in you editor, but the source code is consistent.

If spaces are used you never know how many spaces is one logical level. There is no agreement - some people prefer 2 spaces, some 4 and may be somebody uses 8 or 6.

Even worse - I sometimes see when in a single source file some parts use 2 spaces for one logical indent and some - 4 spaces.

"As devices get extremely fast, interrupt-driven work is no longer as efficient as polling for completions — a common theme that underlies the architecture of performance-oriented I/O systems"

Uniquitous SMT also makes polling more palatable. The current x86 SMT is still of the minimalistic sort with only 2 threads per core, this kind of programming pattern might be a reason for more HW threads?
I think people may give half hearted questions to get better answers. Maybe half hearted questions get more interaction by people trying to clarify things, or perhaps the answers are written with more common language than jargon?

I would buy this game instantly, no questions asked. I grew up watching reruns of Seinfeld (I was too young to understand it in the 90s).

The workflow and needs are completely different. The final deliverable of most non-dev groups rarely need to be able to jump back to a prior commit. You don't read a sentence in a legal document, and say, "That doesn't quite sound right, let me go git bisect to see where we broke the wording...", you just fix it.

Once you throw out the need to step back through a commit history, then all you really need is tracked changes, and that is well supported in both Word and Google Docs.

Yes, but the problem isn't tibble since what you're highlighting is a design choice and an argument in favor of tibble. The problem only arises when you're not aware of this design choice which is facilitated by sloppiness and dynmically typed languages.

One might ask whether it was a good idea that tibble enlists data.frame as an inherited class. Since a tibble obviously doesn't behave like a data frame, one could also argue that this is a mistake on part of the tibble developers but this is a different discussion.
It's interesting to see the EV market getting excited about modularization of EV's. I think it really is a new opportunity to implement more standardized, modular and personalize vehicles.

I think the biggest reason people don't modify their cars anymore is simply that they aren't allowed to. Fewer people outright own their cars and their loan and insurance terms and conditions won't let them modify the car, as it would void the vehicle warranty.

For what it's worth, there's still a huge car modifying culture where I live, and no car I've owned stays stock for long. But you're right, as soon as it hits around about the late 90s year models, you don't see as many of them modified.

While OBDII was a great improvement for ECU diagnostic standards, there are still dozens of smaller proprietary microcontrollers within most new cars. The manufacturing and materials also play a role in making them more difficult to modify cleanly. It's just hard for the hobbyist to keep up with design and manufacturing processes.
They are perfectly suitable for regular app.
You don't need to update them at 60fps, you have the entire control of the rendering state, so you could decide to update the gui whenever it is needed and not at a constant fps.

None. I have two at most cups of caffeinated tea in the morning on a work day, and that’s it for the day. I have a very low tolerance for caffeine, a little goes a long way. And I’ve fallen into the trap in the past of starting to rely on it, which turned out badly, stress, sleep deprivation, etc.
Now that I think about it, for the uint126_t encoding case, you actually need to inspect up to the first 3 bytes. I've only implemented this for encoding/decoding uint64_ts, in which case there's a little trick that saves one byte, but the trick only works because 64 % 7 == 1.

Maybe it's most clear if I spell out the 19 cases necessary to encode any uint128_t (system using BSR (leading 1s) insteod of LZCNT (leading 0s)).

Ask HN: Why shouldn't we rely ultimately in motivation when doing any activity?
There are some discussions about the influence of motivation when doing any activity and how we shouldn't rely on it for long-term efforts. For example, coding a SaaS project could be exciting during the first days, but stop being fun after some months or when you have to work on the marketing aspect.

The advice given for that is usually that one can't rely on motivation to do something in the long term and we have to endure through the process. But I'm sceptical about this. Shouldn't be striving to find back the motivation instead of pushing ourselves for the sake of the project?

In a full-time job, the motivation is, in the last instance, money, and if at some point that motivation doesn't work anymore we look for another job. The advice found in these cases is not endure in that work and push ourselves doing that job.

I'm curious about the dichotomy between the motivation in entrepreneurship and side hustles versus the motivation in the ordinary full-time job. Does the fact that our side hustles are something personal justify that we should endure and not rely only on motivation? Because side hustles are personal projects, shouldn't we be motivated and find that motivation to do it? And otherwise, move on to something that we are more interested in at that point.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and hope I made any sense.

The Dangers of Self-Medicating for Covid-19 and Exposure to Household Poisons
Someone doesn’t know they have it. They go to a restaurant. It spreads to a dozen people all over the restaurant due to airflow.

How does contact tracing help?
see it differently.

The idea:

30€ for game + 10 reusable upload slots (but seperatef for all kinds of nitty bitty details).

This covers most users needs.

But the game will mostly be a niche product reducing profitability. So selling more reusable upload slots to the ones which are fine with afforting it seems a good idea especially given that probably anyone can live with 10 slots.

Also giving unlimited upload space would be a liability for the company.

Be aware that I made that judgment based on this being a game.

If you look at it as a programming development environment it indeed seems very dogy.

But given the context you should see it as a game which also teaches you programming not as a programming environment.
