One thing that really annoyed me about D is that its documentation lists basically every function with an 'auto' return type. Auto should be completely banned from documentation, it's a complete hindrance. It's the single biggest contributor to why I stopped using D for personal projects - I was so tired of having to hunt down what functions are going to return, sometimes having to resort to just using it and looking at what the compiler complains about.

And that's a huge shame. Because in general I really liked using D.
> Chromebooks, Windows S (and RT before it), notarization of apps on MacOs could be helpful in an Enterprise environment to prevent malware, this is at the expense of freedom of choice.

I think the opposite is true: these are useful in a home environment, for the vast majority of non IT expert users. In the enterprise, there have always been other mechanisms for preventing malware, mainly in the forum of not giving users full admin rights on company laptops, PCs etc.

Even as a software engineer, I don't always feel fully knowledgeable on how to run a secure system. I can absolutely assure you that my grandma is not qualified to act as a sysadmin on her own PC. So while I dislike the idea of not having the option of taking full control of your system, I nevertheless think that the vast majority of users are better off not using that option. And when I say vast majority, I don't think it's like 80%,but much closer to 99.9%, including most programmers and enterprise users.
The EU had to legislate to get the fees low enough that microtransactions might possibly be reasonable.

Visa etc are now only allowed to charge a percentage, 0.2-0.3%, but the intermediate (Stripe etc) can still add a flat-rate fee.

Excellent, I'll be doing this. We can never build enough awareness about our subconscious behaviors.
There's also strong correlation inside the same countries regarding the more sun = less deaths vs less sun = more deaths. The best examples that I can give are Italy, where Rome and everything South of of it has ridden the pandemic wave pretty ok (with the slight exception of the region of Puglia) and Spain, where the region of Andalusia in the South has had only a 5% or so excess in the number of deaths for this year
How much do you trust the contracting companies to forward the payments to their workers? Bet they've all been furlough a while ago.

If you rightly don't want people taking an unhelpful attitude towards India, try not to do the same yourself about other countries.

Because the change was done manually.

Their system probably doesn't implement a function to delete account, or it is not easily discoverable in the UI, or it is known to be bugged. So the employee who did that thought that renaming an account was a good idea to make it appear "missing". A big numeric suffix is an obvious idea to avoid collisions with the existing and future accounts.

But when people are asked to choose a large number, numbers around 1000 and its multiples are chosen particularly often. So 999, 1000 and 1001 are very likely numbers to be picked "randomly". I don't find the reference on that, but I suppose we all have enough anecdotal evidence. Just recall what are the common port numbers of various programs. X*1000 + Y is a very common formula, where |Y| < 100.

So let's remember how evolution works, shall we? Evolution selects for strains that reproduce the most and selects against ones with attenuated reproduction rates. That's the whole basis of biology. If you've observed a wild strain sequenced in a database, that should be considered direct evidence that it reproduces well enough to have been sampled as a representative isolate.

> as far as I know nobody is trying

Of course we are. We are deeply engaged in studying the key residues that mediate all aspects of viral infection, reproduction, and clinical pathology. That's another way of saying that an incredible number of researchers have dropped everything to study the genetic and molecular determinants of pathogenicity. Don't worry -- we are on it.
Great comment.

Excel on the MacOS is pretty bad all around. Filtering a 100 line spreadsheet hangs for 20 seconds.
That's the trouble - there's evidence the main reason that the fatality rate shot up massively in places like Lombardy and Wuhan with overwhelmed healthcare systems is because the shortage of healthcare resources meant they massively undertested mild cases compared to elsewhere. It's a statistical artifact that was presented as a real thing by the useless media. Also, people aren't getting healthcare right now because of the lockdown and the fear. All over the Western world, cancer screening and treatment is getting skipped, people with strokes and heart attacks are seeking medical care far too late, kids are missing vaccinations...

I think the scenario being imagined here is:

1. I search for story on Google dot com.

2. Paywalled story appears at #1, artificially boosted relative to other paywalled content because Google can index it.

3. I click on the story (not knowing it's paywalled), am greeted with a paywall. The site not only blocked me from viewing the story, they just wasted significantly more of my mobile data.

We can actually sample quite a large percentage of the strains out there if we actually try. COG-UK has already sampled 10,000 out of the few 100,000s in the UK without really trying.

> I make a purchase and it normally shows up the next day.

I do see how this is alluring but I find the urge to receive an item as soon as possible as a sign for immature impatience - if there is no actual reason for the hurry. So, I refuse to give in to it and happily wait 2 or 3 days.

> I need to make a return, I just click a button and bring the open box and item to any UPS store (there are 3 within 3 miles). They will package it for me and ship it. I just show them the UPC code on my phone with a ripped open box and an item.

Well, in case of other shops the hassle usually isn't much more either. Either the franking is provided as a decal or I'll have to print it. Then I bring it to a Packstation/store (there are 100 within 3 miles).

Regarding the packaging. I always feel a little guilty for sending something back and take pride in really taking care not just of the item but also of its packaging before returning it. I don't like other people cleaning after me - even if they make money of it.

Also my experience before quitting Amazon cold turkey was very mixed. I had several bad experiences with their service. Intransparent origin of shipment, forgeries, systematically unreliable reviews, items in bad shape, ... most shops treat me better.

The tl;dr of this article reads to me like "when building, make sure you know how to lobby local government to maximize private profits utilizing as much of public resources as possible". I did not see this coming. Outderegulating Marc Andreessen is quite a feat.
Cool go ahead, you're only gonna get my device identifier, phone model, some encrypted temporary ID that identifies me for 15 minutes, which health agency the app is affiliated with (the same as the attacker given we are in range), etc.

Seriously my Facebook app and the underlying Android OS is sucking way more sensitive data than this is broadcasting. And only to the restricted physical range of Bluetooth.

And if you did happen to get my device identifier, TempId etc, you still have to map those to my personal identity. Decrypt my TempId and what do you get, my app UserId. Not even my phone number. Try harder.

My bigger concern is a malicious client that can exploit a weakness in mine by sending a specially crafted json payload and gaining remote code execution.

The data on its own is pretty worthless for location tracking. It needs enrichment or correlation with other data to be used for that purpose.
Also, on the iPhones it has actually made the device more annoying because of a very simple thing: the back is not flat! This creates a very bad experience when the phone is on a table or any surface. So
the ideal phone would not be an iPhone SE as many suggest this week, it would be an iPhone SE with a flat back, whatever the camera is.

I like both of them. One thing interesting in Terraform is the ability to say I want to go from X to Y and see what will be the impact without actually doing the steps.

Otherwise both are quite good.
Ansible is really SSH on steroid across multiple hosts, with extra commands that bash never added. It can configure servers and services. It can also configure cloud products and it's a better choice than Terraform for many things because it's more flexible.

Terraform can only provision cloud resources on AWS/GCP/Azure/other. Usually it gets support first for new products they release. Terraform is very static (see issues with sharing the state file) so it's more indicated to configure very static stuff, like networking and subnets.
Overview of Industrial Robotics
I'm not very familiar with Ansible but consider it to be somewhat interchangeable with Puppet (which I use extensively at work). You can certainly use Puppet to manage thousands of hosts but it entirely depends on other practices and technologies (an external node classifier in Puppet's case) to keep things manageable. I assume the same is true for Ansible.
You’re supposed to fill the new oil filter with oil prior to installation to prevent this. Irrelevant to larger point though.
This is maybe true for items shipped by Amazon itself but Amazon nowadays is a marketplace. I twice ordered something where it said 5-7 days, turns out it's shipped from China and took several weeks to arrive. The not-on-stock-despite-saying-so with other shops happens but not very often in my experience.
Take a look at this talk - it explains what both tools do and how they can work together well:

https://www.hashicorp.com/resources/ansible-terraform-better...

TLDW; You can do resource management (e.g. creating EC2 instances in AWS) and deployment (e.g. installing packages on an instance) through both Terraform and Ansible. Terraform is best used for resource management - the documentation states using the "provisioning"/deployment function is a last resort. Ansible is great at deploying packages but less so at resource management for the reasons you'll see in the other comments. Either use them together for what they're good at, or use Terraform to do resource management and other techniques (such as prebuilt images) for deployment:

https://www.terraform.io/docs/provisioners/index.html

Pretty sure that'd be in violation of things like GDPR and risk netting them fines. Also, why would they add you to a list of "people interested in other brand headphones" when you sign up because you're interested in theirs?
Very crudely, Ansible is like a YAML frontend to SSH, Terraform is like a TOML frontend to AWS CloudFormation.

Ask HN: What does a UX designer day look like?
I'm wondering what a typical UX designer work day or week looks like.

Is it more of talk with users, more of actually writing down designs, more arguing design decisions with dev teams or product owners ? Can it be frustrating as much as say fighting an IDE configuration for hours before managing to compile a 20 year old legacy system ?

Middle-click I don't know about, as I never use it. Usually I don't even have a mouse connected to my computer so I'm limited to a keyboard only. I use the provided `yank` (prefix+y by default) to copy and normal ctrl+shift+v to paste in terminal. Then in other applications I just use ctrl+v and ctrl+c normally.

For the "select to copy", all the information you need is in the GitHub repository previously linked. Here it is again: https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-yank The specific section you're looking for is here: https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-yank#mouse-support

It's simple for you to try it out as well, have a read about tmux plugins and you'll be up and running in a yiffy.

Also take some time to read up on terminal emulators, shells and what tmux is, as you seem to hold slightly off assumptions around where the problems you're experiencing are actually coming from. The reading and understanding will only make your personal knowledge base larger and deeper :)
Obesity?
Because TLS doesn't operate at TCP level. It encrypts the payload carried by it.

TCP (and IP) headers (source/dst IP, port, flags, etc..) remain unencrypted.

On the other hand, IPsec operates at IP level (which can be tunneled over a clear IP/TCP layer)
TLS is an Application layer protocol, so it's encapsulated within a TCP connection.

TCP connections themselves are encapsulated within IP - so if you can masquerade an IP packet, the inner TLS segment won't protect against decisions at that level.
Not in my experience. Most shops ship with DHL, so I order delivery to one of my Packstationen. If DHL brings it into a Postsubsidiary or somewhere inconvenient I just leave it there until it's sent back and reorder.
The only country where this seems to have even vaguely worked is South Korea, and the US is already testing much more people for coronavirus than South Korea even in per-capita terms. Has been for a while. Now, the New York Times editorial board has been pushing the idea that you're behind South Korea because more of your tests are coming back positive - but the way they dropped that number is by using stricter social distancing measures to drop transmission rates, not increasing the number of tests. That doesn't seem to be happening in the US even with a full lockdown, and we don't really know why.

Basically, all of the US media reporting around testing has been terrible, misleading, partisan nonsense designed to create an imaginary testing gap that can be blamed on the current president to try and kick him out of office in November. Publications like the Times are quite open about why they're doing it. The UK isn't much better though.

In the state of India that I live in, at least three people have died in the hospital of very Covid-19-like symptoms, but they were not counted as Covid-19 deaths.

Two of double pneumonia, both with travel history, but their tests came up negative. They were both healthy until very recently. One had arrived from the US, where the chances of community-acquiring-pneumonia are low as I gather.

One of cardiac arrest, but AFAIK she wasn't tested because she had no travel history.

I think Apple specifically targets TikTok, Instagram 'video' crowd with this device who earlier used Android or an older iPhone.

Videos shot with iPhone SE 2 is indistinguishable with iPhone 11, which by itself was class leading. So, naturally people are going to take notice of better quality videos on these platforms.

This strategy is likely going to be successful in US, what I'm doubtful about is with > $550 price tag whether iPhone SE 2 would make it a viable choice in developing markets; even though TikTok, Instagram are quite big there.

> But we can count the deaths the same way.

When person in an elderly care facility dies we don't do a forensic investigation. We just shrug and say "I guess it was their time". So we don't have an accurate mortality baseline to do any comparison against. And that's assuming we are accurately distinguishing between those who died of covid19 and those who died with covid19, which we don't.

I'm not suggesting that people who draw conclusions from incomplete data are idiots, I'm pointing out that the data we have is completely insufficient to make an accurate assessment of covid19 mortality.
I agree in general that AMP is user and web hostile, but this move doesn't seem to enable something that was impossible before. The drawbacks around this is the same as before, heavy reliance on AMP and Google for something trivial to implement yourself.

Websites could have done this before as well, and many in fact already do. It's generally established pattern in webdev if you need to be able to unlock content in a fast manner, without having to request additional content from a backend. Notably, many P2P networks works the same way regarding private-but-still-distributed content as well.
Their search system is so abysmally bad - it's absolutely staggering how they can sell AI tech on AWS and keep looking in the mirror ... (don't know if they do that, though)
At least their products aren't in the "beta" stage almost indefinitely anymore.
Whilst I agree the USA has a lower population density than most of the world it is not exactly true. This figure assumes everyone is equally spread out. However many inhabitants of the USA live in cities therefore population density is much higher. The same thing happens in Spain which goes from one of the least dense countries in Europe to one of the most dense looking at it in these different ways.

The USA has a large population and I assume this is why you think the numbers are huge. Deaths per thousand are around a half of the UK and less than a third of Italy and Spain.

In not very worried by US stats they seem fairly similar to elsewhere in the world. What I'm worried about is that it seems like American politicians, media, people think they are much further along infection than they are.
