This is what you should be doing and not doing this seems more likely to cause problems. Do you have an example?
But that's the point. If you want to make something neat with severe computing limitations, the old devices are great for that. If you want to try to run your own code onto a thing trying to stop you from running your own code, the new devices are great for that. But how many people are in BOTH groups?
Hogwash. Here is the full context:

> Is it a magnitude or a vector?

Of those choices, vector is clearly the more correct one.

Here is what a constructive response would have looked like:

"Lisper is correct when he says it's a vector and not a "magnitude" (the more common term is "scalar"), but there is an important subtlety: it is not a vector in 3-D space. Instead it is something called a spinor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinor) which is a kind of vector, but behaves differently than vectors in 3-D space in some important ways. For example, if you rotate a spinor 360 degrees you do not get back the same spinor you started with. You have to rotate a spinor 720 degrees to get back to where you started.

And in fact if you really want to get into the weeds, in the mathematical formalism of QM these are actually things called "rays" in something called a "Hilbert space" but no one cares about that, not even physicists, which is why all physicists refer to these things as "state vectors" rather than "state rays" even though there are some formal differences between vectors and rays. But only people who want to publicly exhibit their superior knowledge (as opposed to engaging in effective pedagogy) would ever bring up such trivial details."
I doubt the developers have much input, will be some incompetent dinosaurs in middle management pushing for this.
Love it, simple and straight forward.

Took long enough to get a good looking git gui tool on linux.
Gee, I don't see a mention in there of DHCP, DNS, firewall control, or indeed any network management whatsoever. I see mention of gnome-session and kdeinit, which are client-level equivalents to initd, but I don't see any mention of network-level functionality, much less all the other things systemd has folded in lately. Indeed, looking through that blog post, the only mentions of any of those network functions (or even the word "network" itself!) are mentioning other system components doing them. So yes, I'd say adding all that in really did come as a surprise, and from the thread here I'm guessing I'm not the only one.

Remember: I don't think systemd's poison. As an init manager, I think it's a good redesign. My concern is that they're busy borging the rest of the system into themselves and (just as importantly) prioritizing "MOAR STUFF NOW" over "how about we do the core things people adopted us to manage more securely".
To expand on your point, even if the vegetarian protien supply chains aren't directly affected by COVID the way that the meat supply chain is, if everyone who eats meat must abruptly switch to alternative protein sources, do we imagine that there is an overproduction of such protein sources such that it can absorb the demand without driving prices out of reach of the poor?
Funny, I now treat everything as a promise: all my functions are async because it keeps the interface simpler: if they don't return a promise, they are just a normal function, no harm, no foul.

I see no reason to use callbacks, unless the NodeJS module dev didn't implement promises. And even then I write a wrapper. I'm glad to see later versions of Node include promisified versions of things like File IO.
Hah! I did something quite similar back in the day for text message notifications of server downtime.

The problem was that sometimes Twitter's messages were delayed by hours...
IMHO, one that serves both. The IDE case is a superset of the batch case.
It was a speculation, which implies I don't know the actual answer. How do we know you have no affiliation?

It's a poor suggestion either way.
If the phone numbers were of your users you were presumably unauthorized to sign up for a different service using those. That is sketchy.

My theory is that modern "combat PTSD" didn't happen widely until barrel rifling enabled artillery and snipers to hit targets from incredible distances.

Before barrel rifling, if you weren't actively fighting, you weren't at too much risk of dying from an unseen enemy attack. You could let your guard down and take a rest when you needed to. But if artillery and snipers are on the board, death can come anywhere, any time. Soldiers are in "fight or flight" mode basically all of the time and they never get a break until their deployment is over. But by that point it's hard to turn off, so you end up with a bunch of traumatized soldiers poorly adapted to living in a peacetime society.

From what we know about trauma, the more time you spend in "fight or flight" the greater your chances of developing PTSD. This is why guerilla tactics are so effective against a standing army: if you make sure the enemy never feels safe, they will eventually become so traumatized that they leave.

People certainly got PTSD -- I'd be surprised if most women of certain eras weren't traumatized given the ever-present threat of rape -- but it was probably limited to the victims of war rather than the combatants.
Sorry, I do not.
We need an open-source color standard. PANTONE has virtually no competition (RAL, etc are a minuscule % of the market share) and they charge exorbitant prices for their color chips. Standard should be open and anyone can make and sell color chips.

I don't think there are any countries with government controlled internet that don't also have government controlled mobile networks, and SMS is sent in the clear?
The harm that a developed surveillance state can do is incredible. See China. We need to balance saving lives from corona with potentially saving lives or quality of lives from privacy abuse. It's a slippery slope argument and those are always hard to discuss as we're discussing potential future abuse.

In this case however it's a reasonably safe and effective system vs an pretty unsafe but slightly more efficient system. To my mind there's a clear winner there.
1. There are still some devices designed for lan-only use that assume packet loss will be extremely rare.

No, this is incorrect.

Something that comprises many people is treated as singular unless it's in a plural form.

-Arsenal is a team.
-We are Arsenal players.

-There are many arsenals in Britain, but there is only one Arsenal.

If it's unclear you have to add words. You have to make sure the subject is singular. With Arsenal the singular nature of the word doesn't require it.

-There are many patriots in the USA, but there is only one Patriots football team.

In your example, Arsenal is the singular team. "Arsenal players are winning" is grammatically correct but not really used because players are understood to be part of a team.

There's some irony in that Twitter have moved on from the 140 character limit, and now cutting off SMS. Both were core features of the platform when initially launched, so that it coupled nicely with mobile/cell phones (obviously in the pre smartphone era).
This wasn't about 2FA via SMS. That still works.
> imposing limits on (controlling) application design is the point of libraries

That's the point of _frameworks_. It's very ironic to see this being said in defense of React, given that its original appeal was precisely the opposite stance (i.e. React was "only the v in mvc", in response to the notion that frameworks of the time were imposing).
No, but its original title started with "Show HN" which misled me at the time (and perhaps the poster to whom you're replying).

It is words also. "It's the real thing...", "Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief...", "xxxx is on your side..."

That might have been from the lack of money, not the food itself. If you're eating them by choice and making the right dishes, beans are fucking delicious.

I understand that you associate beans with poverty, but when your circumstances are better (or now that they're already better, I don't know which) try them again, this time with some good recipes. And not the canned shit - gotta buy 'em dried, soak 'em, cook 'em in a slow cooker, instant pot, or pressure cooker.
If you look at Microsoft features in isolation they are often really bad. But taken together they add up to something that is difficult to compete with. On the surface you get chat/video calls/and live streamed events. But you also get Sharepoint, Onedrive and integrations with all the other Microsoft products. You may be able to think of products that do one of those things better, but it is tough to replicate the entire ecosystem.
What does "finding something on your own" look like? Does it look like a product web page? Because that's advertising. Does it look like it was on the endcap of an aisle at a retailer? Because they paid for that placement.

Let's just take a regular product like a smartphone. Assuming you have a smartphone. Let's imagine you ignored all branding or something and purchased the cheapest smartphone on Amazon... but how did you even know that smartphones existed in the world? How did you come to know that Amazon sells these smartphone things?
Well, let's keep in mind it is decentralised, so only people who have been in contact with you can correlate it with your location at a given time in the past. Not the whole world nor a central authority.

And even is someone goes to that extent to track your identity down, I am not sure that local de-anonymisation is a problem. This is not something like HIV. I don't think there is any social stigma to catching the coronavirus. If you catch it you should self-isolate, and it will be obvious to the people around you that you got it. And if you don't want to self-isolate and want to hide it, what is the point to self declare that you got contaminated on the app in the first place?

Is there a reason you don't think their numbers can be extrapolated to other places? Last week they were at 15% in NYC, and this jived with the numbers form other places, like the U.K., and I think also Germany.

It seems that as we get more data we're find more cases, and in increasing amounts, across the board. Which lowers the death rate and means we can reach herd immunity sooner than we thought.
>> People are often intimidated by the official docs and hesitant to go there.

Someone interested in "leveling up" their DevOps career is intimidated by official documentation... and more comfortable with github?

Seems like a stretch to me.
No, I hadn't overlooked it. I was providing an answer appropriate to the audience and the context. And that answer was actually correct. Not only was your answer not constructive, it was also flat-out wrong.

Thanks, Nick! What are some of the most difficult actions to programmatically "prove"? Which actions seem like a good idea, but perform less profitably vs. other actions?
I didn't intend to make that case. I've seen many mitigations proposed that I'm wholly in favor of. By all means, let's hire 300,000 contact tracers, and close schools until the fall, and all wear masks whenever we're in close contact with strangers. Hopefully these measures will have an impact!

But I've also seen people propose mitigations that would destroy America, and use "political will" as a euphemism for "acceptance of giant quarantine camps for all sufferers and their close contacts" or "willingness to sacrifice all social contact indefinitely". I don't think it's a good thing if political will drives us to do things which are counter to our values.
What's the reason the title was changed? I'd prefer to not fall afoul of whatever rule it is in the future, and I think this title removes the interesting part.

I know people who click on the first "result" of google search most of the time just because it is convenient. The psychological profile would be something like "Not interested in boring details like is something a paid ad or an actual search result. Just want to get to the site they want as easy as possible."
Question is, will this become a useful tool or a bloated multi-purpose behemoth (with no clearly defined purpose) like Keybase did?

We badly need good simple tools for encryption. For all the criticism of GPG coming from the savvy crypto-crowd, there is still no other tool that performs common encryption-related tasks quickly and easily.
It would have been fine with me if they didn't include the part about agreeing to their own private terms of use on a completely different website. What a strange way to trick people.

Other than that it just seems like a way to ask people to allow them to use replies in a video or something.

Edit: But wait, this is actually STILL ambiguous! On twitter, a 'mention' happens automatically when you reply to a tweet, because it includes the name of the account replied to, so it's not clear whether you actually have to tag @disneyplus or not.
I wonder if side-scrolling was chosen intentionally. Side-scrolling is so much more annoying because you cant press space or page down to scroll faster.
What happens when everyone who eats meat switches to rice and beans? The price of rice and beans goes through the roof, and millions of people can no longer afford to eat rice and beans. What do they eat?

Further, the food (and other inventory) piling up in warehouses is itself a major problem because it drives up storage costs beyond what those owning the inventory can pay, and those companies go bankrupt. We can sustain some bankruptcy in our supply chains, but at a certain point, it becomes unstable and it cascades.

Everything is interconnected.
If (1-1/R0) of the population is using the app, it should bring the R0 below 1.

With covid-19, if the R0 is 3, then being able to track 2/3rds of infections should _hopefully_ bring the R0 below 1.

At least that's how I've been reasoning it out.
I think the operative term is "evilness" - if you are a moderately wealthy westerner in this century, violence and bloodshed are things you have relegated to seeing in media, and not an unavoidable part of life
Thanks. So is your Alertmanager a standalone node then? How do you handle HA on that if do?

One other thing I wanted to ask was how many nodes are in your Victoria cluster?

He writes: "Of course if that’s a major problem, then offering 2FA logins and password verification via cell phone wouldn’t make much sense either."

But this is not necessarily true, as spoofing a source phone number of an SMS is a lot easier than receiving an SMS that was sent to another number.
On the flip side, the experience is remarkably similar now to what it was a decade ago. It’s materially the same, which is rare for unicorns of this time.
Did you read the source of sinit? It's an example of what init can look like. Check out the <90 source code here: https://git.suckless.org/sinit/file/sinit.c.html

I don’t think they’re trying to push sinit as a replacement, they’re showing just how bloated their init system has gotten.
I doubt very much you can enforce a term that is a date in the year.

> How do we judge one not worth the risk, while the other is?

Individually: you can sell your privacy for some temporary security. But you can't sell mine.

Governements will abuse anything, and will never let a good crisis go to waste. It's not a question of if, but when. We still have the "temporary" Patriot Act in the US, while countries like France still live in a "temporary" permanent state of emergency years after it was "temporarily" instaured.

I do not trust google - but I trust government even less, because when caught with their hand in the cookie jars, at least companies have to clean their act, or face loss of customers.

Governments, not so - due to the rigidities preventing immigration.
HN will likely bury this because criticism of Trump has somehow become politically incorrect. But put that aside, and this is a really neat visualization.

Doing any useful „data journalism“ on large amounts of prose is surprisingly hard. If you need proof, consider the staying power of the most useless visualization outside of SAP dashboards, the word cloud.
Thanks but my goodness looks like a lot of work and knowhow
This was an internal app so all users were known and gave authorization, but I hear your concern.
“Employer-provided healthcare is a result of tax policy, so it is tough to blame that on insurance companies.“

Agreed. However, they make a very good living off this and will fight to keep things that way.

When you buy a car, you know all competitors, their prices, there is ton of information about maintenance, durability and all other factors that may cost you money. In healthcare you get none of this.

I am not trying to single out one factor in health care. Insurers, providers, pharmaceuticals and the various middlemen are all guilty of making an excellent living off this insanely stupid system on the back of patients who suffer from it health wise and financially. Where it gets evil is the fact they lobby for keeping things that way by spreading a lot of misinformation.
Exactly, what's going to happen to small businesses and working class people in the US is a policy choice. And people that thing letting the virus run wild is going to prevent that are delusional.
This is why you only live in states with single-party consent recording privileges and document everything these sleezeballs say. Then hand it over to the judge.

> A sketchy, battery-draining implementation with questionable privacy may not see widespread adoption.

A battery draining implementation may be the best they can do by themselves, and, from past form, the lack of privacy is a feature and not a bug.

They’ve really gone out of their way to adopt a centralized solution, when a decentralized solution would be better in almost every way.
Twitter used to be a wonderful platform to hack on. I feel like the early days of developer and poweruser friendliness helped keep the platform from dying in some niche microblogging category.
Keybase went from a command-line tool with a clear purpose to a behemoth requiring an installer, a resident daemon, and a permanent menu-bar icon. I can't even trust a tool that is so complex (and likely has a huge attack surface).

These days, I don't even know what keybase is for. What is it for, really?
Don’t worry about the karma. If you notice interesting stuff, submit it. If you notice a thread you can contribute something valuable, comment.

My submission and comment history is sporadic because of that. Most of the time, I’m happy to soak up what’s being said by some really clever, experienced people (and HN has a lot of quality talk by lots of smart people). But sometimes there’s a question worth asking or a point worth making and that’s when best to comment.

Karma goes up and down but if you’re polite, it’s mostly up - even if people don’t agree with you, they will appreciate a well thought out and respectable argument. Especially one that makes you think, regardless of how contrarian it is.

Don’t feel compelled to submit or comment or build karma!

If you only need it on occasion or for emergencies, there's a lot of cheaper options. If you're using it on a daily basis for development work, $20 is a steal! I'd gladly pay $100 for Blink! It's one of the most polished and functional apps on my iPad.
Valid point. DP3T (in one configuration) adresses this and lets you filter out certain parts that you do not wish to disclose. Thus, this then requires you to upload all broadcast identities used in the relevant timeframe, but because of space-related issues is then „compressed“ using a Cuckoo-Filter. This, however, yields false-positives. To eliminate those to a managable amount, it further requires more space.

So, this has a tradeoff.
Personally I don‘t think that linking multiple IDs in a day is a big intrusion of your privacy (and remember, it‘s only disclosed to anyone for the timeframe that is epidemologically relevant) - full de-anonymization still requires some second channel, such as cameras or the like - which can be linked together without those Broadcast IDs anyways.
Or, original Hansel and Gretel - parents dropped them off in in the woods because there was not enough food for everyone.

Oh, sure; they did awful things. I'm just not sure that decimation is reasonable evidence for "Likewise, ancient culture and justice must be almost incomprehensible to us."; the Nazis did far, far worse, say.

For that matter, their behavior in Gaul isn't evidence of it either; again, we unfortunately have many recent parallels.
