The reason I'm frustrated is that your comment is that it is "truthy." The general idea is true (you can learn a lot from genetically similar organisms) but the specific example is misleading.

Chimps are not--and weren't ever--a major part of biomedical research. I just looked on PubMed, which indexes pretty much all biomedical research. "Chimpanzee" returns twelve thousand articles; "monkey" returns 18.5 million.

I don't disagree that we can learn interesting things about evolution or anthropology from chimp research; I have lunch with a comparative anatomy lab all the time. At the same time, chimp research is mostly very basic science-focused. I can only think of one counter-example, which is the development of Hepatitis B vaccine. This was done in chimps and because of their close similarity to humans: other animals appear not to get Hep B. While this sort of proves your point, it's a singular exception rather than the rule.
26 million unemployment claims so far and many more to come. Many have not even been paid yet, for example Florida has only paid ~15% of the filed claims. People have no money coming in and very few places are hiring. The government sent 1200 dollar checks to some but not all, many people still have not gotten those. People who did well the last couple of years and have lost their jobs now are not eligible.

We are potentially looking at the very real risk of starvation in this country if this things is stretched out and the federal government continues to limit its direct aid to citizens. States are looking at the very real risk of completely running out of funds to pay unemployment and McConnell has indicated he is fine letting them go bankrupt over it because it weakens the unions.

Rent and Credit cards are just the beginning, Car payments and mortgages are next.

We need a very real UBI that goes to everyone regardless of income to get individuals through this. A UBI also guarantees people have money when this passes to allow for individuals to go out and pump money into businesses trying to stand up again.

Its one thing to fret about the US debt, but at the moment we are looking at the potential for a great depression. When this is all over, mint a few trillion dollar coins and pay it off. If the dollar drops for a while its not necessarily a bad thing.

I don't have the exact problems, but I find similar but different problem with both MPLS and Jedi in VSCode, plus VSCode recognizes virtualenvs and tries to use dev support tools like black or mypy from the project venv, but if it's not there it does a user install, which it then still fails to locate.

Still, using VSCode for Python is better than using a different editor just for Python, but it's frustrating that so many basic things are almost, but not quite, fully functional.
I run Debian on my workstation and laptops but still prefer to use CentOS/RHEL on my servers.

The automatic startup of newly installed services (before you even have the opportunity to configure them) on Debian (and derivatives) has always bothered me and is a (small) factor in my decision.

Fortunately, there are a few "workarounds" to prevent newly installed services from being automatically started!

First, there's the brute-force / heavy-handed approach -- override the systemd presets [0] to set all services to disabled by default:

$ cat /etc/systemd/system-preset/00-disable-all-services.preset
disable *

Alternatively, as a one-time thing, you can "mask" the service before installing the package but this requires you to manually create the symlink (instead of using "systemctl mask") -- and requires you to know the name of the service unit beforehand:

$ ln -s /dev/null /etc/systemd/system/nginx.service
$ apt install nginx
# ... configure nginx as desired ...
$ systemctl enable nginx
$ systemctl start nginx

Finally, there's the old, "sloppy" (IMO) method of "hacking" the /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d script to immediately exit with a status code of 101 ("action forbidden") [1].

(I'd recommend avoiding the latter entirely and going with whichever of the first two options better suits your needs.)

---

EDIT: Just remembered another method but I'm not sure if it still works:

$ RUNLEVEL=1 apt install nginx

> We are just properly leveraged and operating with an acceptable amount of risk.

I think that's OP's point. Every word in this sentence is subjective. Throwing around concepts like leverage debt and risk exposure is a way only a mid/well-off person would frame the discussion.

For the other 80% of the US, this statement is madness.
I was mortified. The post said everyone else turned out [for the daily NHS appreciation clapping] and I showed the street up and if I can't spend a minute showing my appreciation I don't deserve to use the NHS if I or my family get ill.

Facebook may not make people evil, but they sure make it easier.
That's the thing. VSCode itself is quite good but all MS made extensions I tried are just garbage.
We do. In fact some people are getting paid more on unemployment than when they were working. Some employees have been upset that they didn’t lose their job.

That’s not mutually exclusive. I don’t think a “real social security system” automatically fixes all other bad policy.
Any Keepass (or similar) software, it should run as predictable as possible. I know this software was once offered with a trojan loaded on some download website, but just searched around and could not find anything about it. Maybe the maintainers remember.

It's crazy to see the interest rates we've come to accept as a society considering that "interest" (otherwise known as "usury") has been considered illegal in many periods throughout history.
If your job feeds your family and keeps a roof over their head, it is essential.
>Someone who leverages credit/debt and has proper but not huge (1 year) safety nets will be far better off over their life than someone who doesn’t leverage credit and has large or no savings.

This is only be true because the US government keeps borrowing from the future to inflate today. But I agree, you don’t bet against the house, and the house is dead set on making sure asset values stay high.
How much of the book spacing is to save physical space? A fair number of larger / more expensive books that I have on hand, and nearly all non-fiction (especially technical) ones, do have additional space between paragraphs.

Potentially all the paperback novels I have within reach do not, though, agreed. They also have far smaller margins, tighter spaces between lines, and thinner paper.
I assumed it had a "non-commercial use only" license, but looks like it doesn't! That could be perfect.
Which of Raspberry Pi 4 or ODROID-C4 is preferable, depends on the application. Neither of them is better for all applications.

If the power consumption matters, then ODROID-C4 is better.
If the performance of the non-volatile memory is a limitation, then ODROID-C4 is much faster.
If the speed of DRAM is a limitation, then ODROID-C4 is faster.
If the application requires sustained performance with all cores active, then ODROID-C4 is faster, unless a custom cooler is used with RPI 4, which must be either very noisy or very large (larger than the board).
Not the one you asked, but I have a similar attitude, and some sense of trust and fairness is necessary to maintain this attitude.

If I'm in urgent care for a relatively non-serious problem, and people who much more urgently need care keep getting served ahead of me, that just seems like the right way to do things, and I'll be happy to wait my turn, or eventually give up and go home.

On the other hand, in line to pay for purchases I would not like for someone to cut in front of me. It's rude, and there is an established norm that they would be selfishly breaking.

Ask HN: Is Copy and Paste a workaround for paywalls
The following is present in the Hacker News FAQ:

"Are paywalls ok?

It's ok to post stories from sites with paywalls that have workarounds.

In comments, it's ok to ask how to read an article and to help other users do so. But please don't post complaints about paywalls. Those are off topic."

So is copying and pasting the content to a paste and adding a link to the comments a workaround?

See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22978882#22979942 for where this question arose.
It is impossible to know what is essential and what is non-essential, due simply to the fact that the economy is more complex than anyone can ever comprehend.

I noted, from the beginning, that government did not put forward the standard state-apologist economist to rubber-stamp these economic policy decisions, and cleverly disguised the policies as public safety. My suspicion is that not even those guys were willing to go on record attempting to predict what the outcome of these actions will be.

The TypeScript integration is incredible. It's as good as a paid IDE. Python is the only other first-party extension I've used, though.
>The last truly user friendly operating system was Classic Mac OS

This is a statement for which you're like to find people for most every operating system saying the same thing, inserting their own preference in place of Classic Mac OS. For your typical user, I'd wager it will often be the OS to which they were first exposed. (though certainly not always)

Personally, I rather liked Windows 3.11. It did everything I needed at the time, and it was simple enough that I could hold pretty much the entire abstraction of it's configurations, settings, features, etc in my own mental space. Windows 95 was... okay. I managed to skip ME and Vista.

In contrast, Classic Mac OS seemed like a "pretty" OS that crashed for difficult to troubleshoot issues that often required disabling "extensions" and re-enabling them in groups to find the offending one. Until then, you'd experience the supremely unhelpful "type 10 bomb" hard crash. Windows BSOD was annoying, but I hated those bombs.

What happens is that we each have pre-existing images that bug us (e.g. for example, people who overrate their own genius) and as we move around in the statistical cloud, random bits of whatever we run into stick to the pre-existing image and give it form. Poof, you have a demon—but actually it just became visible. Readers with other images see other demons and arrive at other generalizations. It's not good discussion because it's really about one thing but we make it about another, and comments that are skewed in that way limit their own interestingness. (I definitely don't mean to pick on you personally. We all do this.)
Are you certain that would help? Many countries with strong social systems left their citizens with no money (due to social tax) and no help. Yes, there are many good examples, but are you certain the US under Trump would be one?
The package isn't wrong, you're just confused about duck typing.

So if we take the Netflix for News analogy literally, it will include certain classes of popular content, publications will go in and out of being offered through the service, it may pay a premium for some prestige sources in the vein of popular movies, but by and large the WSJs, New York Times, Washington Post, etc. won't be included.

It might still be useful if you could get a wide range of publications other than the big ones. But then I suspect that you'd be hard put to get $10-$20/month out of people for a subscription that doesn't include the paywalled pubs that are usually posted here.

And that would help how, in compensating people, who lost years of work of building up, because of an order?

It helps people not starving, yes, but this is not really compensating. And ridiculous, when you consider "wrestling" was considered "system-relevant". But all the small buisnesses not.
Many of us are in the same boat. I would only read an article or 2 a month from any 1 source. But I'm expected a 1-size-fits-badly plan?

The language has everything to do with it, because the language is the locus of practice. Rust practice is whatever it is, and is apparently pretty free with the use of "then" as a method name, which is fine. Javascript practice isn't the same as Rust practice, and Javascript practice includes a pretty strong norm around methods named "then".

That's why the next time I run into such a method, that doesn't belong to a promise and behave the way a promise's "then" method does, will be the first time I can remember, despite having worked primarily or exclusively in Javascript since well before promises even existed.

I'm sure there is an example somewhere on NPM of a wildcat "then", and that if you waste enough of your time you can find it. So what, though? People violate Rust idioms too from time to time, I'm sure. I doubt you'd argue that that calls Rust idioms themselves into question. Why does it do so with Javascript?

By a European definition, we definitely do not have a "good social safety net". You would be shocked at how inadequate the US system is compared to a "real" social safety net. You can even see this in the COVID crisis where European countries are paying 60-80% of salaries, whereas in the US you get a one time check of $1200. Maybe 1-2 months worth of expenses, and that's being generous. A good example of the different mindsets and standards.
every package can be a one line package if you minify it. lines of code as a metric for code quality is always relative.
The fact that this is a one line package has nothing to do with the outcome. a one-line code change in a 5000 line dependency could just as much have messed up create-react-app. The size is irrelevant.
I'd be willing to contribute towards it. In fact, feel free to take 80% of the funds I put towards the military into the safety net. In addition, take all of the tax money they take from me and give to fossil fuels as well and put it toward it. Then if you want to create a universal health care, feel free to take my monthly contributions that I make towards health insurance.

In addition, who is paying for the trillions we are pumping into boeing and the airlines right now. We always have money for war and well connected companies but never have enough funding for basic human decency.

You linked to an article about people not paying off the entire balance of their credit cards each month, but the WSJ article is about people unable to make their minimum monthly payment. Those are two very different things. So, no, this could not "be a headline any month."

Personally, this to me (a digital immigrant from the EU), is like shouting at someone. Apologies for the rudeness.

I had a coworker who couldn't understand why people didn't just use emacs.

I figured he was just cocky or he just didn't understand people in general.

The huge downside of emacs is it's Huge learning curve. The rest is not fluff because the rest roughly have zero curve.
True this problem also exists in Rust, even going so far as people "claiming" and SELLING nice package names.

Paywalls are annoying, but it's up to the authors to decide if they want to charge for access to their works or not.
The biggest issue is state level bureaucracy related to unemployment.

Part of the stimulus bill increases unemployment benefits by $600/week. For a lot of lower wage earners this is probably more than they currently make.

If people are having difficulty paying it’s because their unemployment application is stuck in some office and not being processed fast enough. A totally preventable crisis.

The lock-downs weren't necessary. They became necessary when the federal government obstructed any efforts at establishing widespread testing practices. With comprehensive testing we could isolate the affected quickly and accurately, preventing the spread in the first place. Other countries have had success at that. In the absence of sufficient testing though we have to assume that anyone and everyone could be infected, therefor in order to prevent a run away wildfire like scenario which would overwhelm our hospitals (there just aren't enough beds anywhere for everyone to get sick at the same time) isolation becomes the only remaining option to slow the spread and flatten the curve to prevent more people from dying.

The dead cannot rebuild a business.
Now I understand the reasoning behind the Golang suggestion to commit the /vendor directory.
For images and iframes, but I don't think that works for any element. In any case, hardcoding that kind of information in the HTML is not ideal.
Certainly business would be way down, but they'd at least get to try to save their own business. Right now they don't stand a chance as it's entirely out of their control.

Given the decline in business, a small furniture store probably wouldn't have a lot of issues with customers maintaining distance. Most furniture stores are not crowded even in normal times. This would probably be true for many other types of retail stores as well. It's not zero risk of course, but nothing in life ever is.

Perhaps some shoppers would make a point of shopping to help out, or just aren't that concerned and want to get out, or want to furnish their new house/apartment that they've been in for the past 6 weeks completely empty.

More people are starting to wonder if there's a viable option between "full lockdown, groceries only" and "free-for-all". Since some states are relaxing restrictions I guess we'll start to find out.
I once found some book on MC68000 programming on the Macintosh. In a chapter on graphics, the book presented an assembly routine for drawing a filled circle and bragged about how machine code gets it down to just .25 seconds. I went, "what???" and read the code: it was calling an integer square root subroutine for every scan line of the circle. Not even a good integer square root routine.
Sometime around 2000, I tried to hand optimise an image processing routine in x86 assembly. Previously I'd only done 6502.

My first attempt was massively slower than the compiled code. I had to get into the whole pipelining that was going on and other hardware optimisations.

When I discovered putting a NOP in a tight loop sped up the code, I realised I wasn't going to beat the compiler most of the time!
Notepad++ is a good tool. It knows python and mostly gets out of your way. Its not an IDE but has a lot of related functionality. But I certainly edit all my python code with it.

Then again, I use command line tools for linting etc. so I don't need a lot built-in to the editor.
It's really the same thing. Under what circumstances would you figure 'as a person who does what i say i will do, 500k is a reasonable amount to bet, even though I need to take out a mortgage'?
> For example a tool that might be exceptional to use for a professional might be very very bad to use for a consumer and vice versa.

This was known if not widely distributed at least 20 years ago.

UI that is accommodating for beginners is debilitating for professionals, and I don't just mean existing professionals as the author mentions.

As a software developer, I want and have the skills to seek a solution where a set of N steps only takes a couple of keystrokes. For everyone else, the best they can get is muscle memory, and most skilled labor ends up leaning on that kind of skill heavily.

So UI that is heavy on feedback may be slow in several ways. It could literally slow down the process, or it could introduce roadblocks due to imprecision. A keyboard shortcut is almost always the same two keys in the same order. Fine motor control is the only limiter. If I substitute a mouse click, now hand-eye coordination is dominant. The guy who always hits the waste paper basket from across the room might not care, but everyone else is poorer for it.

And the thing is, video games have this problem solved, but we haven't adopted the techniques the way we have for earlier innovations. Take World of Warcraft. You start off with a few dozen activities you can perform. At intervals you add another batch of actions, and you celebrate that milestone by building up a tool bar (action bar) by cherry picking the set that speaks to you.

New actions and new ways to manage the actions you have are available as addons, and the very best players don't have the largest number of addons, but the ones they do have are reliable, and they all complement each other.

And every once in a while, an action that is very popular gets included in the base UI. Now everyone gets to use it, and 20% of the userbase already was before it ever launched, so you have more resources available to help you figure it out.
