RE: prices. Anecdotally I m happy with the ~$150 price tag. Those phones are not going to be daily drivers any time soon. I m much happier to buy a secondary phone for ~$150 than ~$400.

I also suspect that a phone with hardware closer to a ~$400 android phone would be much harder to support with open source software/drivers.
I'm glad. Let me know if you have any feedback.

Always a possibility; it’s not like I know him personally or anything.
I really feel like we're spitting into the wind. There are very few who agree with this position.
> with TeX's standard settings, the inter-sentence space has the same natural width as the inter-word space

That's not quite accurate; the inter-sentence space does have a slightly larger natural width as well as more stretchability. It's right there in Chapter 12 of The TeXbook:

> "Plain TeX puts extra space at the end of a sentence; furthermore, it automatically increases the stretchability (and decreases the shrinkability) after punctuation marks."

Specifically, in the default cmr10 font, a normal inter-word space is 3.33333pt, and an end-of-sentence space has an additional 1.11111pt (before any stretch or shrink is applied).
This is a good approach and good advice for better communication in general: you have to listen to both the exact words and the intent behind them. Coming from technical fields, many of us are rather biased to dismiss what others say for technical reasons only, when if we cared a bit more to look into what they are really trying to say or figure out, we could help them, understand them, and start much more interesting debates. This is too often seen in political debate too, though the bias here might come from a different side (if you can nitpick on the form of an argument, you don't have to care about anything else).
There is too much sense and logic and critical thinking in your response. Brace yourself for the backlash! :)
...and every single piece of code in your entire code base that touches these classes (and that's like 80% of the higher level code in this particular case) would have to be templated. So either everything has to be in headers, or you need 3 (well, 5 in reality, I abbreviated the example) explicit template instantiation declarations per function in the header and as many explicit template instantiation definitions in the source file. Either way lies madness.
Ha, kids like to pretend to be rich, it has a forced progression and not too much randomness, auctions are fun (when you don't have to worry about actual money).

Is there a specific element you don't like? For me money just isn't that fun (the original point of the game, I gather) so ... but it's still not a terrible game.

Principally it was the request of one of the kids, was easy to play via webcam, and all participants had a set (different sets, but we called properties by colour+number pair, eg Orange One; and normalised the currency before we started).

The kids want to play Risk next, but I've not worked out how to make that work smoothly. Probably very similar again: , and each person having their own dice (to improve the tactile aspect).
> but at a multiplicative level.

Why? That multiplier is often what's at issue, and why "the exact same principles" don't apply.
Which means that removing them (when removing snapd) doesn't matter much.
I suggested testing everyone every month about a month ago. This is a conservative testing frequency that would almost certainly put r0 under 1. Everyone every day is an overkill - why not everyone 4 times a day? What's the rationale for it other than it sounds good?

I mean talent is no substitute for experience in the sense that experience teach you things about how the world works which you cant figure out just by thinking, however smart you are. But sure, cognitive ability is a multiplier, and if you don't learn from experience it is wasted.

A have met people much smarter than me who wrote bad code because they were working from a theoretical framework which just didn't correspond to realty.

It's still a configurable in Emacs. In particular, it's controlled by the sentence-end-double-space variable, which on my Emacs (27, built a little over a year ago) was still set to true by default, i.e. considering sentences to be separated by double spaces. I have a line in my config that disables this, as I'm used to the single-space tradition.
Jira is only a tool. You can use it for reasonable lightweight communication. Or you can use it as a basis for defensive posturing, preparing for financial change discussions and control freakish micromanagement. If you have a distributed team and can keep management out of it and stick to basic features Jira can help still today.

Agile is about culture and the culture of the pioneers and early adopters was different.

I think it would be really interesting to see what would happen if cities explored more of using their regulatory powers to get better deals for their citizens.

You may initially recoil at that framing of it, but really most regulation can be thought of in those terms. Look at environmental regulation, which forces a cost on companies that they wouldn't otherwise be paying to serve some area's interest in protecting the environment. Look at licensing for any profession. Take contractors for example, the people of an area, via their elected representatives, decide that they want to force all contractors to meet some form of licensing (and insurance) requirements if they want to serve any of the people in that area. Now, particularly the insurance one, puts a burden on the contractors who wouldn't otherwise get it, but it protects the ones who would (from being undercut in an unsustainable way) and it leads to an industry that serves that area better than it would otherwise.

Why can't we reflexively refute things if they are wrong?

Why does it have to be shaming so often these days?

We need fringe opinion, we need new ideas. And new ideas on average means: bad ideas. Still need the process for the one brilliant one among all the bad.

We should encourage people thinking out loud, and accept that this is a process. Including people with bigger-than-life personality, including lunatics who might hit onto something by accident, including amateurs. Please allow creativity again, especially in times of need.

Sharing your thinking isn't misinformation. We don't need other grownups protected from mistaken thinking, because you yourself aren't the only one who can spot it.

Eurovision Again: Why fans of the song contest get together every Saturday
I think it’s worth a shot. Around the world, countries will use different strategies long-term, and the best strategies will be employed by all others, eventually. If cheap and extensive testing works as a means of reducing infections, then the world will be better off for it. Rest assured, studies will be done, but before they can be done, funding has to be ensured. And that‘s what I see this article try to do.

I think condemning professionals for looking into other domains is not conducive to scientific discourse. The silo-ing of domains that has developed in recent decades IMO leads to local optima.
Call me a cynic but these days it just seems like “mistakes” like these and the many examples from commercials and games must be deliberate. I mean why try to aim for something flawless when intentional mistakes can help make your content go viral.
I can hardly believe HN-ers who've been on lockdown for a month haven't dug into how successful countries are dealing with this.

'Contract tracing' and essentially 'contact testing' are the tools that winning countries are using.

In Taiwan, they basically abolished Covid, there are so few cases, they have a handle on all of them.

More generally Korea, where the disease is 'out there' but more minimally, they use the strategy more agressively.

Yes - it's possible for people who are 'pre-symptomatic' to spread the disease, but we're not sure of those parameters yet, and now symptomatic they are.

If people who have any flu or Corona-like symptoms isolate themselves immediately, and then go for a test - this is a good starting point. If they test positive, then the 'contact tracing' can identify other people who need to have precautionary testing or isolation.

Korea has been doing this to great effects.

Everyone is clamouring on about their 'freedoms' while locked at home - when they could be out and about using a contact tracing strategy as in Korea.

The US would have to get down to a smaller number of cases first, but it's absolutely a 'get the economy going' strategy, we know it works because we have the Korean example.

Not only do we know it works, it's the only example of a strategy that enables freedom of mobility and relative association while 'living with' the Coronva virus.
Thinking "life just isn't that deep" is somehow a counterargument to Kierkegaard is like dismissing the works of Donald Knuth by saying that "computing is just not that complicated".
Alignment and coordination suffer, in my experience; on the other hand, the productivity at large is increased. It could be that remote work is more suited to some stages of the product / service life, notably the early stage (brainstorming, early design, early tests) and the sales / post-sales stage (business development, due diligence, customer care)?

Well the GPA/ranking was left out (which could have guaranteed admission to a UC if it was in the top 9 percent or whatever). Though it's hard to imagine it being that bad if the person is so great at test taking.

Either way though, yes I am also pretty skeptical of this story because of the Cal State part. At that tier a top student should get a full scholarship. I guess Cal Poly is pretty selective, but still their average SAT score is pretty low. It's probably more about applicants self-selecting for UC's instead of Cal States.

I’ve heard some of the arguments against alcohol consumption during the pandemic, and I don’t buy it.

Sure, it’s true that alcohol lowers your immune system and requires trips to stores. But a big portion of whether or not we’ll make it out of this with lower fatalities will be about our ability to maintain quarantine. And honestly, people are bored and freaked out, recreational substances give them one more thing to do that’ll keep them inside and safe-ish.
Yeah, if any breweries or restaurants or what have you here in Reno are facing this issue, I'd be happy to help "store" some of it. Know quite a few buddies here in town who'd likely feel the same.
Nice work, will you make it also open source or as package to self-host?

When I was in school they still had us using MLA but there were sites you could post any URL or book title and it would generate the citation for you.

Given the seeming inability of many people to gauge the voracity of primary sources, I'm not so sure the teachers were wrong in this case. I know I liked reading wikipedia and copying the sources from there, but there's something to be said for teaching exactly how unreliable a source is based on the inability to properly cite it.
ZRAID1 oder ZRAID2
If someone showed you a picture of a morbidly obese person and ask you what you thought they ate, what would your first thought be? I'm fairly sure it wouldn't be 'they need to cut down on the vegetables'.

How many super overweight people do you know who eat all vegetables and whole grains?

There are always outliers but the cliche western 'bad diet' is too much meat, fat, processed carbs and dairy.

I'm a reluctant part-time vegetarian - pizza is my spirit animal. But I cannot ignore the cognitive dissonance I experience with a lot of the 'bargaining' style diets being pushed. My animal brain really wants to believe there is a healthy diet that lets me pile on the bacon and chorizo and still lose weight but the evidence just doesn't support it.
Are fonts Turing-complete now? I have a feeling they'll become such if not already there; a little programs, complete with configuration switches so that you can control if and how a combination of characters get converted into a ligature depending on surrounding context.

Is it not possible to re-inoculate the container? Seems like that should be a solved problem by now.
I think the GP is distinguishing between an ignored space and an ignored press of the space bar. The GGP was saying that in Lyx, the extra space in the source doesn't show up in there rendered document.

I think the GP was saying that a WYSIWYG editor can't ignore a space. I think the GP is saying a WYSIWYG editor could ignore a keypress and not insert the space, but if it puts a space in the source... it has to be in the rendered output, as there's little to no distinction between source and rendered output in a WYSIWYG editors.

Now, I think there's some middle ground, where a WYSIWYG editor could insert a zero-width space for the second space bar press, but I think that would be very confusing for most users and of very little practical benefit, even for power users.

Somehow Korean Grannies are able to cope (are they magic?) because their country is operational, people are out and about and their economy is functioning at the same time that they keep Coronavirus at bay.

The Koreans have effectively managed Coronavirus and their government isn't going to throw them all in jail any time soon, it's entirely reasonable and rational to have a tracking policy in place that's proportional and effective.

Sound Bites Have Become Weapons of the Information Age
That's not the first solution, when gaming console gave access to hardware through simple programming language for the purpose of entertainment and education. There was Sega Saturn Game Basic [0], published in 1998 and giving access to almost all console hardware capabilities.

However, 2020 is not 1998, and I personally consider Basic a bit outdated even for education purposes. Don't get me wrong, it's a great tool to introduce world of programming to kids, but Python would have been much more practical and extremely simple to learn.

I'm not assuming that. I'm assuming many people of WASP descent are put off by differences from their culture. That assumption us backed by plenty of scientific research and supported by plenty of personal observation. That's why in my post I mentioned Africa (which is as diverse as Asia) and Eastern Europe (which is the same skin color).

That's discriminatory, but different in how it plays out than discrimination on skin color.

If I receive a resume from an equally-qualified Nigerian and an equally-qualified American of Anglo-Saxon descent, unless the Nigerian was able to seamlessly code-shift, the language WILL be subtly or significantly different. Unless you make explicit cultural allowances for that, that WILL bias me towards the individual of Anglo-Saxon descent.
I like reading these kind of stories.

I'm trying to learn more about Clojure / CLJS for web development specifically, but there are so many different tools to pick from and as a beginner it can be hard to know where to start.

And then I'm also reading about Phoenix (Elixir) and how that's better for web dev.

If you don't mind - can you tell a bit more about your Clojure story, when you started using it and your setup?

Or maybe you have a blog, where you wrote about this already?

I'm not an experienced programmer, hence the naive questions.

Anyone relying on a medium-term estimate about a software project has clearly never been near one.

A software system is an objective reality. It doesn't care what we want from it; it simply is. We can have intuitions about it, and use those intuitions to generate hypotheses about what will work, and ask the compiler / test suite to check them. But with a system of any real complexity, we're going to encounter surprising answers sometimes. We can't know how surprising, or how often, how long it will take to make sense of them, or what the ramifications will be for the rest of the project, until we actually get there.

It's not like we were producing useful estimates and then decided against it. They were always lies. Refusing to provide a medium-range estimate is finally telling the business the truth, that we have no idea. Instead we can tell you what we do know: the functionality we delivered last sprint, and the functionality we're going to work on next sprint. That is what you pay us for. The software actually delivered. Not bullshit promises.

But if you really do want a good faith, best effort forecast, then we need to plan the project in as much detail as possible upfront. Lock down the requirements, design the implementation, break down the work, and schedule it. Map out exactly what we're going to touch, so we can at least have a gut feel about how surprising it's going to be. That is waterfall. Own that, and do it right. Don't skip important steps and dress it up in agile clothing.
This is a very cynical and bad faith reading of the OP. I don’t see how knowing about HoTT or category theory gives one away as an absurdly pre-prepped kid who is shoehorned into academic success by tiger parents. I went to a Bay area high school full of specifically that kind of kid, and cannot think of a single one that knew what curry- was or had heard of prolog. Of course all anecdata. But let me tell you that the pre-prepped kids are not writing about wanting to do type theory research.

It’s a shame because the OP sounds like someone who would thrive at an mit/cmu, but likely got screwed due to an opaque system optimizing for a completely unknown objective (let me be cynical now—-the objective is optimizing us news rankings by only accepting top gpa/sat that have high yield, a subset of overprepared foreign students that will pay full ticket, and a scattering of “african americans” ie wealthy nigerians).

The system is bullshit. The only thing us universities have going for them is the professors and the fact that you can drop by their office and start a research relationship by extending your hand in good faith.
