> If you really want that, it seems better to provide them properly like Rust proc-macros than to provide them in C++'s awful half-baked form.

- C++-17 (-20) constexpr is one century in advance in front of rust macro in term of power and what you can do with it. It is not even comparable.

- C++20 compile time execution is currently pretty clean and has nothing to do with this template mess shown here. Definitively not "half baked".
Does that really make any sense considering a 2TB costs around a $100?
In the same way Netflix is just a slick tv station, google is just a slick search engine and amazon is just a slick e-commerce site. Calling Uber’s operation just a “slick taxi operation” doesn’t hold water and purposely ignores all the complexity operating at scale and globally entails.

I mean how many corporate employees would you have if you ran Uber?
>>They're loaning with much lower interest than would be available on the open market, which is a direct subsidy.

Sure the companies benefit, a lot. Warren Buffet might give them loans with 12% a year, the Fed at 3% or whatever. But what does the Fed lose? Nothing, if x% don't pay others will make up for it and USGOV will try to recoup from the failing biz whatever they can.

If they go bankrupt or downsize, what does USA gain, other than more unemployed people? So this is great IMO. Lend them money, as long as the money comes back, the Fed can create trillions and trillions.
With newer models, Apple has replaced the magnets with glue.
That's a straw man and a bunch of loaded questions. I think you're trying to make the statement into proof of something that it is not.
I bet there are plenty of developers that would consider it a positive timeline.
well, if I could share more than one app, it would be fine, but I can't. And sincerely: just sending everyone a 1440p@4fps stream of a presentation is both wasteful and useless (I the receiving party has a FHD screeny), very far from perfect ;).

And even with the talking heads compression: why can't I disable it (I and most colleagues have solid broadband)? We have a nice FHD (Sony A6400 to HDMI-capture) webcam as well and the picture there is also far from superb.

But well, this all might make sense if the target is just to make sure, we don't increase their AMZ-bill too much after our uni had setup their license-agreement with them...
> I count several detailed criticisms of it just in this thread. Do none of them have a YouTube account?

I did post a rebutal in some of the duplicates I found on YouTube. YouTube comments are not really a great platform for debate and the way their algorithm works tends pull videos like this into an echo chamber that avoids the exact types of critical discussion you are calling for.

So, given the (artificial) choice between leaving the video up as is and taking it down, I suspect that in this particular case, the practically beneficial choice for society (in the short term at least) is to take it down precisely because of how YouTube works as a platform and community.

> Which is totally different. Leaving the video up while posting a prominent link to a rebuttal isn't censorship, it's more speech.

Yes, I am a big fan of free speech. However it has become increasingly clear that simply making speech as free as possible in as many places as possible is not enough (by itself) to solve the problems of misinformation, partisanship and radicalization that we are facing as a society. We can't just dismiss those problems, so as advocates for free speech, we need to find non-censorship ways to help solve those problems.

Google Takeout is one of the features that improved dramatically ... over the course of the G+ shutdown.

Though it only became usable in the final month or two before the actual sunset.

If you're having issues, do follow up with Google tech support, it's among the few components that actually gets bugfixes.

I can't imagine we have anywhere like this in the UK. We don't have a lot of space, and it's too damp. Similarly for other Northern European countries. So where do airliners from those countries get parked up? Somewhere in Spain? Somewhere in the Middle East?
Oracle cloud? The same technology that runs certain state unemployment systems and has been completely unable to scale, leaving hundreds of thousands of people with no income for the last five weeks?

Oracle really should remove its logo from the footers of all those collapsing web sites. It's embarrassing.

You can keep contact info even after a GDPR deletion request, so long as you're not using it for business purposes.

Otherwise imagine how easy it would be to violate the deletion request if you're running a business and can't remember the names of the people you had deletion requests for. Their data could come up again through normal channels and you'd treat them no differently than another sales contact, thus violating GDPR.
Qwant was based on bing a few years ago, but I don't know if it's still the case
Been avoiding internet ads and tracking for 15 years now. I feel like the unibomber. Facebook and google probably still have a good fingerprint on me, though, due to iOS not letting you use good ad blockers.

Something uncanny happened recently in terms of the ads I do see that gave me quite a bit of paranoia. My SO recently bought a distinct pair of leggings. How am I seeing ads for that same exact pair of leggings, on my phone? I don't think I've ever typed out the word leggings on the internet before this very comment.
> In normal social interactions, when a person doesn’t talk much, more weight is often given to their words when they do.

I haven't found this to be true at all. Talking too little means your words don't get much weight in my experience.

This is not true for Silent Bob and the example band director because they have roles that command some amount of attention to begin with -- you're paying some attention to them when they're not talking.

In normal social interactions, in my experience, if you're very quiet then people just don't pay a lot of attention to you, and when you speak up it's not actually that jarring or novel. You haven't earned extra attention by not participating as a peer, you've earned less.

And if what you have to say is not something they already agree with they can easily go back to not spending their attention on you as soon as you stop talking.

What the Coronavirus Crisis Reveals About American Medicine
It'd be cool to touch virtual objects, no?
C++'s awful half-baked form comes with 40 years of IDEs, libraries, GUI tooling, OS and GPGPU SDKs, so while I do like Rust, I rather use C++ for the time being, as clunky as it might be.
Getting into a good work pattern is very difficult. It's also hard to push yourself to communicate to the level that is required when you are at home. I've been working remotely for the last 5 years (and before that I'd done another 2 year stint a long time ago). WFH days are basically the optimal situation for a programmer I think -- you get some good time to put your head down without distractions. Full time remote can be like sensory deprivation if you don't know how to deal with it.

One of the things that a lot of people used to say before the pandemic was that chatting on Slack is wasting time. However, without something like Slack your productivity can just go down to zero. To be fair, I'm completely happy with IRC. I'm also completely happy with email. But you need to be spending time typing out those thoughts and receiving thoughts from your teammates. It seems counter-productive, but it's really important.

Especially because I'm 9 timezones away from my colleagues it's particularly tough -- there is nobody to chat to when I'm working. So what I do is just start a monologue on IRC. I start a thread (if I'm being kind... sometimes I forget) and I just type what I'm doing: "I've started story X. I ran into problem A, but I fixed it with technique T. Boy this part of the code stinks. What do you guys think about refactoring next time we get a chance? WTH??? How does B work? It just looks borken. Oh... Derp. I figured it out. I thought it did R, but actually it does S".

This makes a massive difference. One thing it does is show your colleagues what you are doing. It also shows them that you are doing something. It also forces you to do something even when you don't feel like it. But it also allows your colleagues to join your monologue and turn it into a dialog (I wonder if it used to be spelled dialogue...). Even if they only type "LOL! I know, right? That code is the worst!" it's enough. Someone has touched you. Someone cares.

In the best cases you get, "Oh wait! You need to do Y when you do that otherwise the data will be corrupt" followed by, "Hey, let's get together in chat and take a look at this together". Because otherwise you get your PR in and people are shitting all over it and you think everybody hates you (and they feel exactly the same way). In the absence of information, the mind imagines a hostile environment. I don't know why, but it just seems to work that way. So if people are not regularly touching minds, then you just end up getting more and more grouchy.

Taking some vacation can help to get your head in a better place, but just make sure that you look at your work situation and realise that you need to change it to make it better. Thinking that you will work harder (or better) and that it will solve the problem is the typical mistake. Once you have a work habit that works for you, it will not be difficult. You do not need to work harder or concetrate better. You need to work differently.

Hope that helps you out. Feel free to email me if you would like other pointers. The way you seem to be feeling is really common and I have a lot of experience with it ;-)
Then there's the rest of us, couples who both have to work 8hrs / day from home as well as look after 2 young children. It's really tough.
Your arguments do not follow:

> which is the ideal state for a commodity, there is no economic profit.

No. A commodity is simply any kind of good that is considered equivalent no matter who made it. Oil is a commodity, there is plenty of competition and there is still plenty of profit to be made (current crisis excluded)

> While it is very hard to make an economic profit selling grain, many people do farm grain and many enough money.

The analogy here would be to get people to (a) "farm" disks (and electricity/internet) and (b) with some profit to justify their work. (a) is impossible (except for freeloaders) and you agree with me that (b) seems to be unlikely.

So the question is: who would be interested in taking the supply side of the filecoin network, when there is no profit to be made?
On Pinboard.in I have 12983 bookmarks.

Many of them are recipes. Some are items on my wishlist. Lots of them are news articles, some essays. Lots of them are guides/tutorials howtos for Bash, Python, Linux, networking etc.

The recipes I use from time to time.

The IT-related ones I consult from time to time whenever I need them.

And since Pinboard allows for fulltext search it's quite easy to find stuff when I need it.

[Edit: One can also pay extra to enable archiving, so when articles are removed from the WWW one can still access them via Pinboard.]
If it's lifetime like they say, sure. Hard drives have high failure rate after few years.

Add bandwidth, management and other hardware fee to that. It makes sense.
Don't feel too bad.

The notation "0.999..." looks non-threatening, which tricks people into believing that they understand what it means. We could make "0.999... = 1" look scarier by writing it as [n ↦ 1 - 10^(-n)] = [n ↦ 1], where [n ↦ a_n] denotes the equivalence class of a Cauchy sequence of rational numbers. These statements mean the same thing, but with the scarier notation much fewer people would mistakenly believe that they understand what it says.

I would expect mathematics majors to learn what 0.999... means during their undergraduate university courses. But then there's still the question of why mathematicians chose to define it that way. To really understand that, you need to be able to come up with alternative definitions and to investigate the consequences of those definitions. And for most undergraduates, it might still take a few years to build that level of mathematical maturity.

For anyone who is not a math major, I certainly don't want to discourage any curiosity about this subject. Just don't be discouraged if you feel you can't fully understand what's going on. Understanding what 0.999... means and why mathematicians chose to define it that way is quite subtle.
Can someone provide an example of a service that ipfs enables that can’t be provided on the regular web?
Having kids now and being a kid, both are wrong. Education is not in-person lectures with work from home and were not for decades. And having best teacher making video may end up with bad video while not having your best teacher in contact with any kids.

And it is not like passive watching videos would be something new in education either.
Amen - just focus on being your child's parent, the rest is details.

Children are a lot more resilient than we give them credit for, they will bounce back education-wise.
Ask HN: Where is a good place to pitch your idea and get feedbacks?
Hm I think you are right on the price (at least I don’t see it anymore). The fact that it’s ridiculously complex feature remains though. We ended up just running regular overlay since messing around and planning for ENIs is not worth it (I suppose not an option for eks nodes).
It depends who the audience is. I definitely listen more attentively to less talkative people. I think the quality of social media would improve if they built that into their algorithms.

Also I think it may explain why people like me don't spend much time on social media. Too much BS. It's like watching too much TV; it dulls the mind.

When people spend most of their time expressing their ideas instead of forming and researching their ideas, their ideas are just not as good.
Just like breaking backwards compatibility usually leads to 17 years delay in adoption. Can't please everyone.
Yet what they call 'authoritative news sources' like nbc, cnn, fox, etc are the biggest peddlers of bs of all, and they get front page all across the platform.

Firefox's "Don't Fuck with Paste" extension is a lifesaver. It disables all the event handlers on the page and the input that prevent pasting. Kind of a sledgehammer but when you're pasting someone's 26-digit account number, I mean.. you don't want to copy that by hand.

Plus I use Bitwarden, which auto-fills the boxes so I don't need to paste passwords at least.

I'm involved in the online music biz.

What's going on is this:

- current Top 40 rarely has guitar. Basically Taylor Swift and Lil Wayne use one as a prop, and that's it.

- but Youtube is teeming with young adult virtuoso electric guitarists. Check out Polyphia (Tim Henson), Covet (Yvette Young, San Jose!), Periphery, Mel.

- Grunge is misunderstood. Kurt Cobain was a good guitar player, and he made his band practise for months before their first album. Same with Soundgarden, etc. Those bands didn't need autotune.

- Metal fans ate their own: no loyalty. So 70s and 80s rock bands still tour, and 90s and oughts are scraping by. See the Youtube "Punk Rock MBA" channel for detailed analysis.

- 70s and 80s rock bands have tremendous respect online now. View counts on Skid Row, Metallica, Bonjovi, etc. are huge. Their musicianship is acknowledged, and the niche each band occupied is now understood and appreciated.
gRPC encoded data is actually not tightly coupled to HTTP/2 frames. It's described as a stream of gRPC chunk encoded data on top of a HTTP stream. But the gRPC frames do not necessarily have to align with HTTP/2 data frames boundaries.

See https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/PROTOCOL-HTTP2....

The specification makes gRPC sound rather tightly bound to HTTP/2 level details, but I don't think it really is. You should be able to speak gRPC just fine over any kind of HTTP. One main pain point for browser support however had been APIs to exchange trailers, which are necessary for gRPC.
A really interesting question indeed. While Docker containers are a blessing from many perspectives, their orchestration is far from easy (yes k8s I am looking at you). Another consideration of a CTO, when choosing buy vs build, would be the cloud vendor lock-in and pricing consideration. Big cloud vendors may be a good offering for startups, when you need to move fast, growth is more important than margin and vendor lock-in is not an issue. However, as you grow, these things become increasingly important. Just to provoke some constructive thinking, I urge you to consider what businesses would become possible if running cost of IT & online payments equaled zero :)
If there's enough enthusiasts using spare disks at home to offer enough disk capacity for everyone, then that means Filecoin hosting will be available cheaper than cloud hosts. If all that capacity gets used up, then supply and demand will cause the price to go up until more people add capacity. If the price hits the price of cloud hosts, then people will just run tons of Filecoin nodes on cloud hosts, so the price of cloud hosting will be the upper bound on Filecoin hosting prices. Then anyone that can undercut the cloud hosts will be free to run their own Filecoin nodes, and the price will be pushed down as people do this.
The language you use around prepration seems judge-y. For example, would you consider "deciding not to work at a restaurant" preparing for a pandemic? Because up until now deciding to work at a restaurant is something I really appreciated that people did because I like going to restaurants.

If we as a society ask people to stop work to avoid the worst case version of a pandemic, we MUST support them during that time, because we are ALL benefitting from them stopping work. The fact that your job is not gone is luck not preparation.
Startpage was also bought by an advertising company.

Speaking as someone who works remotely on a team that is only partially remote, the pandemic has made my life considerably easier. Suddenly all of the water cooler talks have evaporated and I'm on an even footing with everyone else. A colleague was also saying that he normally hates remote, but he's been finding it quite nice this time -- because the entire business has to communicate this way.

Still it's hard for people who aren't used to it.

This is a good idea. Congress should commit to such ongoing payments, and the Fed should back it with a commitment to unlimited borrowing.

Borrowing money is incredibly cheap at the moment, perhaps even negative cost! Three reasons:

1. Interest rates are very very low. Borrow when it's cheap.

2. With these payments, sick people won't need to go to work to have an income.

3. Universal payments can keep people out of programs such as SNAP, state unemployment insurance, etc. These are currently overwhelmed and typically have high administrative costs, plus human costs in terms of means-testing and other shortsighted cruelties (would you like to prove you have been looking for work?)

The article doesn't go into details about the sunsetting provisions (which ought to be tied to infection rate, deaths, etc) but the idea of "the govt borrows until the health crisis is over" is correct.
I also haven't had an issue paying by a credit card. The invoice is detailed enough too.

Things to Do After Installing OpenSUSE Leap 15.0
Aren’t hooks more confusing than the class components? In a class, you write your initialization code in the constructor - no infinite loop if you fetch something. And anyone who has used classes in Java or other languages would feel at home.

Also, the model he references in the thread - https://twitter.com/CT_Bergstrom/status/1255343846445195266 - seems a lot more plausible for predicting the down-slope.
