Larry David's response is obviously tongue-in-cheek.
Nice tool!

It would be nice to be able to go back and fix mistakes. For instance, on the first pass after entering something to consider I pressed Enter. I didn't even notice the "important" radio button, so the first choice got "somewhat important". It was actually super important and there was seemingly no way to fix it.
There is also the ffmpeg kerfuffle a few years back when Debian decided to replace the ffmpeg package with an incompatible and inferior fork. You can imagine the amount of confusion that ensued.

That said, I think Debian's occasional messups are far less egregious and damaging than Ubuntu's though.
I worked through this on a couple projects last month if anyone needs more examples or has questions.
Oh paper towels! Not toilet paper. Oops, my mistake! I guess I had that on my mind. Yeah, I've actually owned some of those wash and use paper towels. They're pretty decent.
Great question.

This is one of the implementations we're actually developing. One of the challenges with the implementation of testing on this scale is not necessarily on the technology/assay but on implementation. How do you reasonably test millions of folks each and every day, or said another way actually get millions of nasal swabs, saliva, etc on 384 well plate?

I think our ultimate approach is much more akin, albeit with a bit more sensor voodoo magic, to a at home pregnancy test than 384-well plate qPCR tests at central labs.

> It appears that the virus travels through the air, so whenever possible, it’s important to avoid crowds of people or indoor spaces with shared air. The virus is about the same size as the particles in cigarette smoke (though it would usually be part of a larger droplet), so I find it helpful to imagine a smoker exhaling smoke, and what it would take to avoid inhaling too much of that second-hand smoke.

I just got back from a bike ride and I went through an area where a lot of homeless hang out. I could strongly smell urine and smoke while I was waiting at a stop light under a bridge. Do I need to be concerned that I just exposed myself?
Trust, but verify. I work on the services side and we frequently are in the position begging for more surveillance. If you are really so confident in the speed and quality of your delivery (my org borders on cocky) then the biggest risk we face is being misaligned to client expectations due to poor communication. We always ask for their explicit sign off on story criteria and feedback on features as soon as they are finished to make sure we're aligned and let them see exactly what pace we're setting.
> invite anyone to join your video call, even if they don’t have a Facebook account

Aww, they’re finally getting it. But too late, I assume they’re going to use some kind of cookie/IP matching to determine any and all Facebook accounts of someone that joins one of these rooms.

It’s really annoying, the Facebook Portal device looks genuinely great and something I’d love to use, especially in this quarantine. But I just don’t trust Facebook.
> - You don't have a resilient financial and mental safety net in the form of good friends/family early in your career that enables you to take risks, or you got dealt a bad hand in the form of things like dependents or health issues and simply can't afford to take risks

The 'friends' part is something that I think can be potentially fixed. 'Friends' who can truly support you AND who are worthy of being supported in times of need are rare. But I think if one searches hard enough and find reasonable people to from an alliance with (without necessarily being friends) this problem can reduced. But it is needle in a hay stack endeavor. Most people in my observation are not worthy of receiving help ( for example they do not save enough money when they earn, so cannot be trusted to have the financial disciple to pay back) or conversely they are not in a position to help ( to cite the same example because they have not been saving enough money, they don't have enough money to lend to you).

Amazon routinely involves themselves in social/political systems to exploit the circumstances to their benefit. See: their involvement in Seattle politics vs Kshama Sawant; the recent bidding war between cities for Amazon's HQ2 and all the tax benefits that were laid at their feet; the routine union-busting efforts including literally forcing some workers to attend an online course about why unions are bad... the list goes on. Amazon, Google, Facebook, and the holy church all have immense influence in American politics through the lobbyists and frothing evangelical base.

So yes, this is about corporations, and specifically corporatists aiding and abetting the private takeover of public life as we know it.

To make things even more confusing, the Z80's ALU operates on 4 bits at a time while the 68000 has 3 16 bit ALUs and so can crunch 48 bits per clock.

Half of the early ads for the 68000 called it a 16 bit processor and the rest 32 bits. The latter became more popular as time went on.
Thanks. I read it. I'm curious where is the mental block that prevents people from seeing the point I'm trying to make. Am I brow-beating around the bush too much, neither clearly nor concisely?
5.25" floppies were more way reliable than 3.5" in my experience. 3.5" floppy media had the problem of varying wildly in quality, and the quality of otherwise good brands had the tendency to decrease over time. I also have memories of 1.2MB HD 5.25" floppies being quite a bit faster than 3.5" floppies back in the 80s.
Looks like we will have to make America great again...again.

Anyway, sorry for the meme reference. But of course, the point is that we still don’t have a coherent federal plan beyond attempting to drink bleach or shoot up Lysol.

The Trump administration knew about this in January, denied it’d be a problem, and while I’m sure almost any White House could be equally unprepared due to the West’s complete ignorance of the inevitability of a pandemic, it’s mind boggling that we are almost in May, five months removed from the publicly available news about the crisis in a China, and nobody in this administration has told us jack shit:

1. What does the plan look like for opening up the economy? Sit and wait around with zero information? Which industries will open up first?

2. When is the planned date of reopening and what will that look like? Will we at some point be instructed on what to do? Will there be contact tracing, mask requirements, or other preventative measures put in place? The White House has said nothing on these topics. Just give us a date and if it has to be changed, fine. But Trump is leaving us hanging.

3. Why do the republican party’s own governors not follow federal guidelines, and why isn’t the White House exerting its broad emergency powers to enforce compliance? Will Trump do anything besides sit around proclaiming that the states got this?

4. When will Donald Trump finally be able return to his home state of Florida for a round of golf?
many of the "streamlined" cars shown are actually aerodynamic disasters due to small trim pieces/headlights/etc; but they never actually got fast enough for it to really matter.

When they did get fast enough for aerodynamics to matter, the designs looked very strange.[1] Dodge managed to sneak a car with a giant wing in back into NASCAR, and it beat everybody. So for a few years, all the players had wings. This caused a sales problem. NASCAR cars are supposed to be something like "stock" cars, and manufacturers have to sell some number of the things. The Dodge designer said
“I showed the car to the head of sales at Dodge. He saw the wing and said, ‘I can’t sell that shit.’” So, after a few years, the "aero" cars were banned from NASCAR.

Fair point. My unstated perspective was from investing in a single stock without stop-loss orders using an informal 'don't count on it' definition. Yes, depending on the stock and many other factors - it probably shouldn't be zero. Same should be said of the equity package in the parent comment depending upon the circumstances and terms.

One thing that doesn't seem to have been said is that there can be a big gap in expectations coming out of college and into the workforce. You may have imagined/been promised the world studying hard problems, and are now a cog in a cube doing scrap work. That's a hard psychological transition.

This is a hard reality to adjust to and navigate. A lot of it has to do with figuring out what you really want and need. Many on HN then dream of having a side project take off. Others maybe want a high status job. Later, some decide family is more important and want work/life balance.

It's not just the job but designing the lifestyle you want and how to get there. The lack of that idea is what's really causing the anxiety at work.
Google is the gate keeper of what can be discovered and new properties will get no visibility is a fact. Doesn’t help that the first page is all ads and there’s no good competitors that can truly replace google. The government does not care, their view is out dated and based on one thing, does it keep costs low for consumers? Yes? Ok nothing to see here. Free market capitalism. Welcome to web FAANG 3.0
I think that this is just the case with LXD.
LXD used to be distributed as a DEB package in Ubuntu 18.04.
Therefore, to make it to upgrade from DEB to snap in newer versions of Ubuntu, there is this dummy 'lxd' DEB package in the repositories that in fact installs the snap package of LXD.

Other than that, I do not think other packages are affected.
This fragility is a result of an intentional trend - lean supply chains. To cut capital tied up in inventory, manufacturing and retail businesses have worked very hard to remove warehouses full of inputs and finished products from their supply chains. Unfortunately, those inefficiencies had the secondary function of a buffer in case of disruptions, which means the lag between the disruption and its consequences has gotten shorter.

(The two functions are closely related, in that pre-lean manufacturing had all kinds of disruptions occur all the time, meaning their supply chains were essentially under constant low-grade stress tests. Lean logistics has been in part a massive effort to get rid of those unnecessary disruptions.)

And look to canada, with infection rates less than half that of the US. I'm there now (BC, west coast, very very low infection rate). We are already talking about reducing measures because our hospitals are well below capacity. With all the cancelled procedures, they are less busy than before this crisis. But masks are nowhere near universal. In my area masks are more social signaling, a fashion object only worn in very particular circumstances if at all. Masks may have a use but they are certainly not a total fix. There are lower-hanging fruit.

Compare the United States. There is a BBC article online now about how 40,000 households a year are having their WATER cut off. That sort of behavior is far more dangerous than not using cloth masks. Forget universal healthcare debate, first agree that people have a right to water.

https://lmgtfy.com/?q=breitbart+antisemetic

We both have access to the same information. By asking me to provide a link instead of doing your own research you're essentially asking me to provide an argument. While I have read enough to form my own opinion (they are occasionally dog-whistle antisemetic, but focus most of their hate on other groups) but I can't provide a single link with a slam dunk case for that opinion. If I link to something specific here, are you going to say "oh, thanks for the starting point" or are you going to argue that my one link doesn't prove that they are antisemetic? I suspect the latter. This is how this dog-whistle stuff manages to evade public scorn. If I provide ten links, well I've wasted my time with no guarantee you are going to read any of them or are even discussing this in good faith.

In short: do your own research please.
I gathered the same thing. Basically the gist is, if we can develop a cheap, fast, and effective test for COVID-19 then we can test everywhere and re-open everything.

That's certainly an interpretation.

From my point of view, by doing the wrong thing initially, and then (especially) by persisting in it for so long, they've just turned a disaster into a bigger disaster.

I haven't walked away from this feeling like WD is fundamentally honest and open and can be trusted to disclose critical information without prompting; I walked away feeling like WD is fundamentally dishonest, and will lie even after being caught. "They stopped lying eventually!" is not a strong defense.

Do you? I certainly don't. All I know is they have made, under extreme pressure, a once-off disclosure of unknown accuracy around their current drive models.
If you like constant debates and open ended questions, why not use Quora, or maybe even reddit.
If you have to walk over some space that is not easily mapped over (perhaps consisting of disjoint spaces), and collect/produce items according to various criteria, it doesn't necessarily match, the "prepare a bag, and collect into it" is definitely a better approach.

He's just working in wretched language without macros.

TXR Lisp:

(build
(each ((i (range 1 5)))
(let ((id `car-@i`))
(when (car-empty carid)
(add id)))))

build starts an environment for implicit procedural list construction. The local function add is visible for adding an item to the bag. The macro yields the constructed list when it terminates.

The build environment provides deque semantics. Items can be added on both ends, and also deleted. A depth first search can be succinctly expressed using the closely related buildn:

;; breadth-first traversal of nested list;
(defun bf-map (tree visit-fn)
(buildn
(add tree)
(whilet ((item (del)))
(if (atom item)
[visit-fn item]
(each ((el item))
(add el))))))

This is all true - and all of those are possible while still being wealthy. The peculiarities of US culture are different from being wealthy. As another example you don't need to have an obsession with guns to be a wealthy country, but the US does.

There’s an episode of Peep Show where one of the two main characters kills a dog and then feeds it to his girlfriend- the owner of the dog. Totally different level of dark. It’s a totally different sense of humor actually.

Being regrettably engaged is a relatable situation, and miraculously being relieved of that engagement thru a freak accident is definitely Seinfeld’s darkest moment but is still fairly innocent. It’s actually one of the reasons season 7 is so unique and funny but I would hardly put it next to Peep Show in terms of darkness.

When buying a laptop to run Linux, it's nice to not have a Windows license (and the cost of that license) included.

Heh, it's funny. I haven't baked nearly as much as you have during the lockdown, but it's been surprising! I admittedly panic bought a few things (e.g. rice and flour) but now that my wife and I have a bunch of time on our hands, we've been going through both of them at a pretty solid clip. What I thought was "excessive flour" is starting to run out, and we keep finding new stir fries and curries to cook together to eat with rice. Overall food bills have dropped significantly (it's easier to cook at home than to pick something up) and we're eating healthier too, and having fun together!
Docker is poorly designed as well.

The virus can travel through droplets and other large particles, so you definitely have to watch out for people sneezing etc. around you. There isn't any consensus, however, for whether it is airborne or not, i.e. whether it can be in regular exhaled air. Of course you should take precautions regardless.
I wonder about that. They are trying to test a neighborhood they think is most effected. One wonders if it's possible to follow up and retest positives to exclude false one.

That's kind of true? The one that made the divorce crack apologized and seems to have an innocent enough explanation. Look again though, the one that actually made the commit (Vaelatern) is trying to be sly by saying they just found it amusing, and only going so far as to say they "support the decision" to revert it.

While this couldn't have set it off timeline-wise, it paints a picture that someone was trying to goad him into going too far.

You appear to be under the mistaken perception that SMR drives are an appropriate product for some markets. SMR drives are not suitable for any market. SMR drives were supposed to cut costs by 25+%, but the savings never materialized. Instead, we now have a situation where products with a complete nightmare of a performance profile are being forced into consumers hands when an educated consumer would reject the product outright if they knew what they were buying.

Sorry, SMR HDDs are junk. The sooner the industry realizes that they're not suitable for any purpose, the better. Having a device where 4KB writes sometimes take seconds to complete is just plain unacceptable in 2020.

I'm still flabbergasted at the need to compare to the EU or European states.

No where in my original comments did I bring them up, or was thinking of them. Your snide metaphor also doesn't work since the EU does not override the nation-state model. The EU parliament only exerts some powers over EU nations. The Health department of Germany cannot made decisions on behalf of the health department of France. I understand you're going to compare this to two American states, but honestly, it doesn't work.

> This isn’t some pro-US propaganda, the only agenda here is an insistence on ensuring that we are comparing apples to apples.

Again, when did I compare anything to Europe? You brought up the comparison for no reason I can comprehend. Hence my questions about the defensiveness.

I don't think we're going to agree, so happy to leave this here.
