So the only thing that matters in a city is something that is out of the city's control (i.e. mortality rate of a virus).

That's a bit silly. There's no sense in measuring against something that you can't meaningfully affect.

Your comment is also not entirely correct: SF's death rate is lower than places where hospitals are full or ventilator supplies are inadequate.
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, getting people to click ads. I just don't see how this isn't a massive waste of money, abusing psychology to encourage people to buy things they don't need. No one is better off in this situation except Google, and they absolutely don't have our interests in mind.
Microcenter on most items.
Google has lots of first party traffic. That's their big strength. Same with Facebook. That's why between the two of them they eat 2/3rds of every new ad dollar.
We don’t have a (publicly facing) political system that rewards nuance.
If the recovery procedure requires only one factor, then “2FA” is a lie.
I’ve had a similar experience, although with one notable exception: within a week after I began microdosing a certain psychedelic, I spontaneously decided to quit caffeine cold turkey and had no qualms about it. Like some inner voice just said “why the hell do you have to push the accelerator so hard?” and there was no sensible answer so I quit. Unfortunately, that was short-lived because I don’t have a steady microdose supply so now I’ve reverted to my old ways.
If you've had the account for very long it's probably grandfathered.
I have not seen a single serious attempt to model quite how expensive they will be

How about the fed's estimate of a ~5% hit to GDP in Q2.

The economic ramifications of the shelter-in-place are going to be massive.
They're actually ~91Mbit/s, but yes, very, very stable. They also seem to add about 4ms of latency.
well in the UK postcodes are pretty specific to a few houses or even a single property, so using that and a name is sufficient. But in other countries the postcode only specifies the province or suburb.
My personal findings/theory is that I’m drinking coffee in lieu of water, so I’m not getting the hydration I ‘need’, and feel thirsty after sometimes.
Not really. You just have to spend money.

The reconstructed Globe Theatre in London ran into a problem while it was being designed: thatched roofs had been illegal for hundreds of years. So, they had to go through the process of certifying a fire suppression system, getting everything approved, and then demonstrating that it was safe before opening.

Sam Wanamaker was the person who persisted and cut checks--even in the face of LOTS of government resistance:

If you don’t know how to do something you can’t just get on with it. You have to strategize. I myself have a tendency towards depression and don’t really know how it is to just to be happy. Especially after failing a few times you either give up or you start strategizing how to do it. It s a crazy cycle.
All storage engines prioritize performance? Back in the day, way before WiredTiger got acquired by MongoDB they also had very similar graphs showing perf differences with RocksDB and InnoDB:
https://github.com/wiredtiger/wiredtiger/wiki/Read-scalabili...
https://github.com/wiredtiger/wiredtiger/wiki/iiBench-result...
https://github.com/wiredtiger/wiredtiger/wiki/YCSB-Mapkeeper...

And of course RocksDB has had similar graphs to showing perf against other systems.

Every system manages to find a benchmark that fits their narrative :)

Reality is both RocksDB and WiredTiger are high performance storage engines, and they are both optimized for SSDs too. These type of benchmarks rarely tell real story.
The Foucault Pendulum is on my list of three dead-simple machines that prove science is real.

(1) Using a soup can and some string to measure radiation:

(2) Measuring the force of gravity, and thereby weighing the earth, using a tuna can and some other string.

(3) Using a string and a bowling ball prove the earth is round without going outside. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foucault_pendulum
There are heat pumps for pools as well as hybrid systems. Also extremely cheap to run. For pools, they actually beat cheap gas heaters.
Everyone who has dealt with them knows Germany's enforcers are pretty strict. They're probably targeting the guys who are dangerous to people, with the really dangerous stuff: personally identifiable information. Unlike HN, the real world regulators don't just flip a shit because you included 3 octets of an IP address somewhere. They're spending all their time going after the guys who have names and phone numbers and emails.
Yes, and this is why it is hard for those (like me, HS student, 16yo) who avoid social media as a matter of privacy. I personally get left out of friend groups, etc. and when I was applying for an internship, one of the questions was "Please list your social media handles/accounts here"...
I'm pretty sure I know why I didn't get that internship :) They probably thought I was hiding something...

Writing tests to prove you've a correct implementation is indeed a very hard problem. I toyed with an interesting idea last year where I began to write a simple (but intentionally incorrect) Paxos implementation using P# (now known as Coyote) and wanted to see if P#/Coyote's systematic exploration of the state space will show me the various race conditions which violated the protocol's correctness. To my surprise, the technique was quite effective. P#/Coyote was able to point out to a number of bugs after I specified the safety and liveness properties which weren't too hard to do. In effect, after specifying the safety/liveness properties, I was able to use P#/Coyote's state-space exploration to ensure the implementation had solid test coverage. More details are at https://github.com/imnaseer/DiscoveringPaxos where the project starts out with a simple naive implementation, uses P#/Coyote to find bugs, makes incremental modifications till we finally have a working version faithfully following the Paxos description.
It does allow them to implement more specific restrictions. For example, with today's extension, SF is closing more street to cars inside Golden Gate Park to allow people to exercise outdoors while maintaining a safe distance.
Ask HN: Developers with kids, how do you do it?
Can't afford a helper.. both of us are working weekdays from 9-6. When I'm home from work, it's just catching up with my kids, house chores and then to bed.. I'm only left with short pockets of time on weekends to read/play catch up.

Feel like I'm falling far behind my readings and practice. How do I keep pace with the industry while being a parent? Is this normal?

Would love to hear from devs who are parents share your experience and how to strike a balance?

Thanks folks!
Who would be contributing to this Kickstarter? People who already know her, and know that her books are good? That's not where the real money is, or the measurement of market value of an author's labor; the money is in the flow of cash from consumers.

More generally, non-excludable goods do not work well within a free market system. If you want them produced, you either set up a state mechanism for funding them (which many countries do for e.g. film, by creating national film funds), or you somehow make them excludable (e.g. through copyright). The other options aren't really effective.

Says most states. Without much searching I found at least 3 (AK,WA and CA).
In Germany Amazon usually delivers next day. So does just about everyone else, since all it takes is packaging and getting the order to any postal carrier on the same day.

Returns are unproblematic almost everywhere since a 14 day on-questions-asked return policy for online purchases is EU law (and most online shops voluntarily extend it to 30 days). Sure, I have to package it myself, but that's no different than German Amazon.

Sure, Amazon is great, but so is almost everyone else (at least in Germany). Amazon's main advantage is only learning one interface and one set of processes for everything.
yes when I was in London i always wondered why everyone was obsessed with putting postcodes in on Google Maps (rather than the street), till i realized how accurate it was in locating an address.

When you talk of real wealth being lost, I'm curious how exactly you see that happening. I do agree with your points about exacerbating inequality, but that's as a consequence of the status quo structure of our economy, and going back to work won't fix that. Meanwhile, our factories and equipment aren't going to fall apart in a year, people by and large won't forget how to do their jobs, we were already tossing out 40% of our food, so that's no big change, and the education system, at least in the US, is little more than free lunch and day care for many poor children anyway. It sucks for people entering the job market, but that was the case ten years ago too. I get that the government response is once again failing people (mostly in the US) but do we really want to rush back down the old path when we have a rare opportunity to talk about taking different ones?
Those that don't know what it is like to not be naturally happy in many cases may not understand how easy it is to get intoa bad headspace, and how vitally important it is to take the correct steps to prevent it. It is life-threatening stuff and even when it is not, it is disabling, hence the strategy.
I think your heuristics change if you happen to have an ongoing condition or family needing coverage (who may also happen to have costly out-of-coverage costs).

This is the kind of mental gymnastics that would be completely avoided if we had even the most basic of universal coverage.
Everything boils down to dependency management. It doesn't matter whether you're running a distribution, a container system, a VM farm, a herd of machines or anything that loves static linking: a sysadmin needs to be able to ask "what packages are in use right now, what is their provenance, and how can I roll out changes to that with the least amount of tsuris?"

(And the security officer needs to be able to ask a sysadmin to compile that data. And the auditor needs to be able to verify the chain that produced that data. And the poor dev trying to fix a bug needs to be able to use that data to build a version that replicates reported issues, so they can show that they can also fix the issue. And so on. And so forth.)

Just as interpreters usually beat compilers for speed of debugging, a system designed to properly manage and modularize dependencies will be faster to debug than an equivalent system that just builds the final target as fast as possible.
Reddit's new GQL API uses different oauth tokens than the old API uses, and Reddit doesn't issue those tokens to third party apps. Until that changes, you can't build an alternate front end that has feature (or should I say misfeature) parity with the new site.

It's a shame that the most important chunk of Reddit isn't open source any more. I recently found bugs in both the old API (introduced in 2011, detailed at [1]) and in PRAW regarding bulk flair updates. Since PRAW is open source, I submitted a pull request [1], and their bug was promptly fixed. On the other hand, Reddit is no longer open source, so instead of submitting a pull request like in the old days, I'll have to make a submission to /r/bugs or message the current admins and pray that an engineer sees.

I think the idea is that as more data comes in it looks like this virus is not as bad as was first feared. There is no current data supporting a U.S. death toll of 2-4 million.

And a lockdown at this point doesn't save any lives, it only postpones the inevitable spread of the virus. It is not reasonable to stay in lockdown for a couple years until there is a vaccine, not for a virus that kills only 1 of 500 people.
They have a great opportunity to make things better come Nov now that they've been affected by the failling.
Honestly, GDPR is fine. I love the power of interoperability it's given me. That part is wonderful.

But if what you're saying is so obvious, then GDPR experts should be very cheap. But they aren't. If you're so good at it that it's easy, why don't you just go make your million dollars as a consultant in the next couple of years?
REALLY lucky to have saved a lot

Luck might play a role in whether you got a good job, but saving money is mostly a product of willpower.

I would not blame them if they had to start stealing from supermarkets

Would you blame them if they stole $15/pound steak instead of $0.20/pound bags of flour? Because few people steal bags of flour--that is, few people steal food for purposes of preventing starvation. It's mostly driven by the same impulse as any other form of stealing.
> I started drinking coffee during puberty. So, I guess my brain is not just chemically hooked on it but actually neurologically developed around it.

While I didn't pick up coffee until a little later, I started on caffeinated drinks (soda, tea) well before puberty. I've had this same thought—that I'm more than just habituated to it—but I haven't seen others making the same claim before. The last time I quit caffeine, I had standard withdrawal symptoms for a few days (as expected), then a week or two of catching up/rebalancing sleep, and then? I started routinely getting hit with what I can only describe as depressive episodes. It took a while to connect them with being off caffeine, but a little bit of (non-blind obviously) experimentation strongly suggested that they were due precisely to my brain-body chemistry being out of whack due to lack of caffeine. I resumed caffeine, of course. I never suffered from depression before nor since.

Anyway, so, I don't ever completely quit caffeine anymore.
Buying Apple products on Amazon significantly exposes you to counterfeit products. That's where the "discounts" happen.
Most people don't like coffee, they like caffeine, it's an addiction. To me, coffee smells bad, tastes ok, and leaves my mouth feeling dirty after drinking it. I just don't see the point in coffee, especially with all the disposable containers from Starbucks and the like that go straight to the trash every day.
Sure, Henry's is great if you like aggressive upselling.
There is no evidence that getting the disease prevents you from getting it again. Furthermore there are currently four known strains, so you’d have to get it four times if you even can get immunity.
I'm in physics and I've never heard of anything remotely like this. Are you sure that "hate mail" wasn't just pointing out errors in his work, which is a completely legitimate and downright essential part of science?
Good luck. Anyone even slightly out of the mainstream will get shamed into oblivion.

Herd immunity? Is it proven that immunity lasts long enough to provide coverage to the herd?

The issue I have is that if we overload our medical system - just go on twitter to see the horror stories posted about ICUs and medical staff in serious depression - then even if you have a totally managable non-COVID acute issue, you could get infected or die by lack of treatment because the system is at or beyond capacity.

We are in a fight to keep our current medical system running. If you overload it recovery for that may take longer than the hypothetical herd immunity or vaccine.

The traditional ZFS implementation(s) use AVL trees as the in-memory data structure for allocating space (ie finding free disk space).

However the performance limitations of them have started to show, so there's been work done to switch to B-trees[1].

I'd really love an explanation of what specific impulse is. I've looked it up a few times but the units seconds^-1 confuses me, what does this represent?
Is this not just the trapezoidal rule for numeric integration?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoidal_rule

It's not even a particular good choice for the specific problem (glucose curve) because the trapezoidal rule will systematically underestimate the true area when the curvature is always negative. Simpson's rule is almost always a better choice:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson%27s_rule

Fun fact: although the method is attributed to the 18th century mathematician Simpson, Kepler is known to have used it in the 17th century.
Looking at the scale is kind of interesting, but what we really need is more information about options for making things more equal in terms of their relative effectiveness and trade offs. America used to have 90% income tax on the richest. At some level that kind of worked, but it also led to a shell game where executives drove company cars to company condos and so on. Agreeing on reasonable taxation and enforcement could go a long way but we keep on minimizing land value taxation and other such alternatives.
Data is re-analyzed in the context of new data and improved hypotheses. Data is not "disproven" as you claimed. There may be several ways to explain an observation, and some of the explanations can be shown to be wrong, but the observation itself never can.

After the discovery of standard candles, when the map of the universe was completely reconceptualized, nothing ever changed about astronomical data: observations of stellar position and brightness. What had changed was the explanation for those brightnesses and the meanings attributed to them. The data stays the same, the explanation changes, and if an explanation doesn't match the data, like the milky-way-is-the-universe hypothesis, then it's a bad explanation.

If you were focused on profitability, you wouldn't run Target CPA. Your marginal cost per action is going to be much higher than the target CPA, making your marginal acquisitions unprofitable, lowering your total profit. That's in the best case, if you have unlimited budget. In the unlimited budget case, Google is at least incentivized to bid on the lowest CPA users first. In the constrained budget setting, they can give you absolute garbage, and it's no skin off their backs. It's even worse if not all of the actions are incremental, which for an established company with unlimited budget is guaranteed.

The past few years, Google has been adding features that make absolutely no economic sense (assuming rational firms), but assuming that most of their clients are unsophisticated and then taking advantage of them has no doubt earned some Google Ads PMs huge bonuses.
Target, B&H, and BestBuy routinely discount Apple stuff.

If you have insight into Apple’s product cycle, they usually discount the price to resellers a few weeks before they release a product and they are motivated to clear stuff out. I used to pay for college by taking advantage of that in the 90s!
And then somebody negates your "is equal" because they want "not equal" statement and tears their hair out.
I don’t see hairdressers as a trade no longer viable, after all they were considered medical experts until late 19th/early 20th century.
Let’s apply this to climate change as well.
That's just colloquial terminology. GDPR terminology is "personal data" concerning or referring to the "data subject". That stalls the ownership question. And yes, when "personal data" regarding an EU "data subject" is stored on someone else's hard drive, that "data subject" has certain rights in the EU.

These are colloquially interpreted as "you have rights to your data". Naturally, your address is not generally copyrightable (another notion of ownership of data) but it can be "personal data" that relates to you.
I've been out of the React game for a while, and this is the first I've read about Hooks (or at least the first time I read enough to look into them). If I understand things correctly, they are automatic dependency tracking functions that will rerun as needed? Kinda like S.js [1]? Though that's different in that it's built around only that functionality, not integrated into a larger system.

To expect the cases to go down is not realistic. We're in a battle to prevent exponential growth. NlogN is managable. N^2 is not.
Walmart has an option to filter by retailer, so one can do a search, then filter by retailer "walmart.com," which avoids third party vendors.

It's a bit annoying to have to do this on every search, though.
Thanks for sharing! I don’t remember C++ well at all anymore, but it’s cool to see an immutable AVL tree in it since it seems like it would be less common. I wrote one in F# a while back for fun/curiosity since I had no idea how it would be done at the time. Mine was purely key based though. The indexing idea is neat too!
It seems this has literally nothing to do with the main functionality of keybase though.

Is there any reasonable modelling that puts worst case US recession deaths in the hundreds of thousands? I saw a pretty spun looking number in (I think) The Federalist back in March that claimed a staggering 40k deaths if we didn't open up right away. Needless to say that spin didn't survive reality well, that's not only the median worst case of the viral outbreak it's the status quo.
Ah yes - back in London in the 90's, I'd stop at a cafe or two in SOHO and get an espresso, smoke a cigarette and read the paper as a break.
