> terrorist can have either a literal meaning (who intentionally uses violence for their goals)

Don't police and MMA fighters in the ring intentionally use violence for their goals pretty regularly?

I think few people would call that terrorism; I'm not sure a definition is possible without the (admittedly unsatisfying) idea of 'legitimacy'
Did you watch the video of the WHO representative when asked directly about Taiwan pretending like he didn't hear the question, disconnecting, and then talking about China without so much as even mentioning the word "Taiwan"? https://twitter.com/NumbersMuncher/status/124394050651140096...

> Having separate repos only makes sense if they are maintained by separate teams with a well defined API

If some logic is modular then it should be in a separate repo. If it's not modular then it should be part of the same repo; just regular files inside directories... IMO, monorepos try to have it both ways but this doesn't make any sense; it encourages developers to write logic which is "somewhat modular".

But "somewhat modular" is not modular at all. Either it's modular and it can easily be extracted out completely or it's not and then it should be embedded into the project's code.

Code which is not modular should never need to be shared with other projects.

GLOWBE (which I linked above) has Americans in the wild using both senses of quite. If anything it looks like they use it as an intensifier more often than we do.

Wikipedia seems to be more in line with my experience, too:

> In AmE the word quite used as a qualifier is generally a reinforcement, though it is somewhat uncommon in actual colloquial American use today and carries an air of formality: for example, "I'm quite hungry" is a very polite way to say "I'm very hungry". In BrE quite (which is much more common in conversation) may have this meaning, as in "quite right" or "quite mad", but it more commonly means "somewhat", so that in BrE "I'm quite hungry" can mean "I'm somewhat hungry".

I grew up doing everything the hard way, self taught holding my own with highly educated peers and spending years on very hard problems to build a future worth having.

I am still doing it the hard way but vastly preferring doing it for myself, instead of for ungrateful bosses that pay penny on the dollar for the privilege to ignore their employees and only ever do something to fix unfulfilled promises when people have already been burnt and it’s too late. I’ve heard again and again from peers that bosses only come round to shitty situations when good working employees threaten to leave and by then it’s too late.

This time it’s the bosses drawing the short stick and they are complaining like they are entitled to employees. You want people to stay? Make it happen, don’t whine.

I have been in management, I know what it takes. Man up.
> focus on the World's broken food supply and its immense waste

That is an extremely hyperbolic statement.

According to the United Nations [https://tinyurl.com/y9esnjez] fruits, vegetables, cereals, and roots account for 70% of all food waste. It is unfortunate that due to a global pandemic they had to be put down, but chickens are the most efficient form for preserving and delivering calories from grains to the table.

Additionally, industrialized and developing nations waste food at the same rate - just in different stages of the logistics chain. No system is perfectly efficient, and while there are improvements to be made - it is pretty damn amazing that the majority of 7 billion people have a meal a day.
Could not get this connected to my cluster, oddly. Maybe something to do with its 2 factor authentication process.
Not to mention that small wind turbines are quite noisy.
No it wouldn't. That's the entire concept of working on an assembly line.

Whether you're good at something is not strongly related to whether you like doing it.
I never said it's "world ending", it's a problem, and we need to fix it. What a moronic thing to say "let's just deal with it next year". If the mafia was extracting 3% of federally guaranteed loan money, your response would be "it's not a big deal, let's just deal with it next year because we can just authorize more loans?" I hope you're never elected to public office.
Every time I talk to someone familiar with medical residency here in the US I hear something knew that shocks me. For those not familiar, residency is basically a multi-year apprenticeship after medical school that you need to do in order to complete your medical training. The federal government pays institutions about $140k (iirc) to train residents, in return the residents get around $60k and do a ton of the day-to-day doctoring work in a hospital. A few years ago a law was passed that they could "only" work 80 hours a week, but I've heard from multiple people that everyone works more than that and just lies on their time sheet. In order to get a residency you have to fly around to 20-40 different institutions at your own expense and interview, during which you will be asked illegal questions about your relationship status, plans to have children, etc... that your medical school has prepared you for in advance. My sense is that the whole thing is a series of hazing rituals that aspiring doctors feel like they've got to endure, but there's also a huge guilt component to it. Hospitals and other institutions don't have enough residents to do the work that needs to be done at 80 hours per person, and most people go into the field to help people, so they just make the sacrifice over and over. I think it's exploitive and shitty and other countries probably have a better system.
You’re absolutely correct and I don’t disagree. However I’d like to offer an alternative: unless you build a real world project you won’t ever feel comfortable with your learning. I used to be just like you, try to cover as much ground as possible through (explicit) knowledge (books, blogs, videos, you name it) but whenever I applied that to the real thing, turns out there was always something missing, that I didn’t plan for. (I’m assuming you value your time and try to maximize as much of it as possible) Now what I do: I still look for resources BUT those that cover the minimum required (THE FUNDAMENTALS) and build upon that knowledge through practice and better target research/reading.

> It turns out that humans need some pleasure in their lives

Yes, don't cut out pleasure. You might want to borrow a leaf from A.A. Long (the preeminent expert on Stoicism):

I was sometimes asked which one of the three schools I fancied for myself. Please don’t be shocked at my flippant reply: "I am a stoic (lower case!) in the morning when I write, a Sceptic in the afternoon when I teach, and an Epicurean in the evening when I have fun."
For me particularly I'm not American. But Australia is in the same boat where our states are doing most the heavy lifting around the response. Everyone needs food; not printed paper. Who controls monetary and fiscal policy isn't so important. Having a big pile of cash doesn't really change anything - the crisis is in the real world and responses need to be in the real world too. Any level of government can manage that.

And note the US Federal government creaking under a historically high level of debt, it has already given people far more than any taxpayer is contributing to the tune of something like @3k per if https://usdebtclock.org/ is accurate.
In university we had to write a simple fuzzer which extracted options from man pages and ran the corresponding command with randomized but valid options. Didn't take long until we found the first bug in one of the tested commands.
What an insipid observation.
This is in danger of running into the back/forth that we saw in the Angels and Airwaves Wikipedia page :-)

Joking aside, it might sound odd to an American (or Canadian?) but British English would not distinguish between whether or not the name or “nickname” are singular or plural. So we would say:

The Seahawks are winning

Seattle are winning

Arsenal are winning

Rangers were relegated

I think this is the kind of thing where you can learn to tolerate the “wrong” one but it’ll always sound weird to you, whether “wrong” for you is British or US English :-)

Edit: I did think of a situation where we’d use “is” - when you’re referring to the legal entity or FULL name of the club. “Aberdeen Football Club is a Scottish professional football club based in Aberdeen”. This is pretty rare to see, and you’ll likely just see it in, ironically enough, the first line of a Wikipedia page.
> Stereotypes exist because they model people pretty well.

That isn't true for any stringent definition of well. Plus you don't have to be a "did you assume my gender" person to be peeved that someone's poorly trained ML system is making false assumptions about you and then labeling you with those assumptions. Even if it were an "are you an innie or outie" field it would feel intrusive to have an automated system guess and label you off of "stereotypes".
Proper secure development lifecycle approach for all software projects producing code?
Especially as usage in British English isn't clear cut anyway. It depends on whether you're referring to the band as a singular object, or as a collective (https://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/grammar/l...)

> avoid relationship until your life is in order. Huge time sink and ruins concentration.

I understood that some relationships can bring a unbelievable chaos in your live. Been there, done that.

But I think it's very very important part of your life and you can't really have your life "in order" if this question is left unsolved.

> It could mutate enough (like the flu) and reinfect, or it could "hide" like herpes and hit you full blown when your immune system isn't operating at full capacity.

While not criticizing you directly, I cringe every time I see this reported in the media, and even some TV scientists are not immune from these statements. It is a novel virus, all right. We know almost nothing about it, all right. But it's not a magical Star Trek-like being which does not fit any biological hypothesis.

Other members of the coronavirus family do not exhibit these properties (hiding like the herpes virus that is), so it is at least unlikely that this will happen. And while it can mutate, it will do so at a much lower rate than influenza, which, due to the structure of its RNA, can have plenty of recombination events which cause far more variation.

A nice non technical explanation: https://www.city-journal.org/coronavirus-vaccine
It’s my understanding that these sorts of challenge trials are only compatible with medical ethics where the participants are unlikely to come to long term harm. This doesn’t seem to be the case with covid. The death rate for this disease amongst young and healthy people is somewhere between 1/1000 and 1/25. If they run a trial with n~=1000 people, they will be likely condemning between 1 and 40 young and healthy people to death, and potentially many more to long term disability. Of course many hundreds of thousands will likely die during this crisis, and the utilitarian view of any benefits this might have will be a net positive, there are serious ethical concerns.

I’m not sure if I’d personally feel comfortable being involved in such a trial, especially with the messaging appearing as though it’s low risk.

Most stations already have posters telling you:

- which cars are normally less crowded

- which cars are recommended for getting off at a certain station, based on proximity of the exits at that station to each car

Google Maps (as well as other apps) also show similar information when asking for transit directions (for the former it only gives you the average on the whole train, not by car)

If someone wants to buy at $100 and someone else wants to sell at $90 it depends on who came first. To really answer this question, you need to understand the difference between market maker and taker and you need to understand how the limit order book [1] works.

Assume there are no other orders in the order book.

Scenario 1: Seller submits a limit sell order for $90. Since there are no buyers, this order goes into the book. Then a buyer submits a limit buy order for $100. The order would be filled at $90 (the best ask) and the buyer only pays $90. Here, the seller is the maker and the buyer is the taker.

Scenario 2: Buyer submits a limit buy order for $100. Since there are no sellers, this order goes into the book. Then a seller submits a limit sell order for $90. The order will be filled at $100 (the best bid) and the seller gets $100. Here, the buyer is the maker and the seller is the taker.

Market makers are responsible for setting prices and providing liquidity. If you want to understand this in more detail, check out this post [1] I wrote up a while ago.

How I built a web app that is ranked #169,170 by Alexa traffic Rank in 4 months
I launched my website/web app four months ago and wanted to share how I quickly ranked it.

I wanted to start a Side Project and wasn’t sure what would it be ! I wanted to learn ReactJs and so decided to try out with very simple project. My background is in Web development and I have 3 years work experience. I would consider myself as Beginner in coding. This post is mostly catered to Reactjs developers.
You guys must be already familiar with lots of stuff but I just want to share my experience.

#1 Niche or Competitive Website?
I started my research 4 months ago, and what I found was everyone recommending to start a niche blog/site. Although niche website have its advantage in terms of easy SEO, I think there is good potential for high traffic competitive domains.
In my case it was a dictionary app and its been a saturated product. But still I decided to go with it.

#2 UI is King
I think very good design can help to intrigue users. Since this was my strong suite, I put lot of time for it. Here are few sites that I found to be helpful with Front End/UI Design.

I think google fully crawls & indexes now in mobile version and it is very important to be responsive. Google chrome console can help you with that.

#3 Coding
This is the challenging part for me. Although the application itself is not complicated, I had some struggles in between. I think ReactJs is a good framework/library for my kind of project.
I also used couple of npm packages so to just fast track. I don’t want to link entire packages that I used. Here is the main website though — https://www.npmjs.com/

that's a good assignment - extra marks for reporting the bugs?
Thanks for the reply. "Native Graph" here means the system (including the storage and query engine) is designed around the Graph data structure. The opposite part of the "Native Graph" is usually called "multi-mode" databases. In other systems, the storage is designed either as tables, or as some other data structures. They only provide a Graph query interface to simulate the graph query engine. But behind the scene, they are still doing the SQL (or whatever) queries.

Ask HN: Scanning of Old Handwritten Diaries
OCR tends to work reasonably well on text, even block hand writing.

However, a relative has just scanned in an ancestor's diary from the Boer War era in South Africa. It'd be fascinating to read.

However, it's in beautiful but (to me) barely legible cursive.

An example page: https://imgur.com/a/SJpyj94

Are there any tools out there that might actually have a chance with handwriting like this?

I tried a sample app I've worked on with OpenCV. It recognised there was "text" but that was about it.

Is there one out there or a technique or suggestion anyone might have?
I looked briefly at QCs and I understood them as kind of a machine that doesn't try every possible solution. It is in every possible solution, and then you can somehow "lock it" in the state that is the solution to your problem. Kind of like NP problems are hard to find a solution but easy to verify a solution.

thx for the info, i've send a mail.
Good question! I'm also wondering what is the "new architecture", and what is the "old one" ^_^
All your state is in one place - packages and configuration. On a typical system there is tons of hidden state - some little option you had to change but didn't document, some package you forgot you installed ... that's not that easy to reproduce or change-track without backing up the whole system. You could use Ansible to do it, but that's another can of overhead.

... at least that's my experience.
I think it's because corporations treat developers like untrustworthy and replaceable cogs in a big machine - IMO, this is what's wrong, not multi-repos.
If corporations gave their developers responsibility and ownership over the maintenance of specific repos which are heavily depended upon, then multi-repos would not be a problem. It's a great source of pride for developers to feel responsible for something and to take care of upstream developers.

About simpler alternatives, non-corporate tools and libraries are often much better than corporate-built ones. For example, React was built by Facebook and is inferior to VueJS which was built independently yet React is much more popular.

On top of this, I contend that if Evan You (the creator of VueJS) hadn't worked at Google, very few people would be using VueJS today; but the popularity has more to do with public image than technical merit. VueJS is associated with Google even though it was written independently; something so simple and elegant (especially at the time it came out) could only have been written by an indie dev. Too many cooks do spoil the broth unfortunately.
What happens in my brain:

- "The Beatles are..." This means we're talking about those 4 guys in The Beatles

- "Metallica is..." Means we're talking about the band, not the 4 dudes.

And when that change happens (inferring the band vs inferring the band members) it doesn't change the meaning of the sentence, so nothing else matters.

While the visuals would be stunning, what's interesting to me is how much our knowledge of the cosmos has advanced in the past 6 years between that article being written and now.

We now know the Milky Way is probably nearly 200,000 light years across[1]. And that it's not only much larger, but much more massive - probably larger than Andromeda[2].

When we talk about these collisions being billions of years away, we're also really only talking about the main portions of the galaxy - all of the globular clusters are going to start interacting way sooner. We're already seeing star formation in the Milky Way's globular clusters as a result of interaction with the Large Magellanic Cloud, even though we're 2.4ish billion years from the primary collision occurring [3].

Last year NASA also came out with a bunch of images on what the night sky will look like as the Andromeda collision occurs: https://kottke.org/19/10/behold-our-dazzling-night-sky-when-...
