The resource usage section at the end was really interesting, and surprising to me. 1% of jobs use 99% of resources! It would be interesting to try and understand how this pattern came about and if there's particular engineering decisions that tend to lead to this situation where you have a handful of incredibly resource intensive jobs and loads of very lightweight jobs.

Ask HN: Is it worth to pick Java or Scala?
Already know and use Python, Go. Looks like Go has a great future. Wondering if it is even worth to spend time on picking Java and Scala. Tried to look into both. Java is highly used but the code is too verbose. Deploying is hard. Scala looks better but is usually referred as hard language (because if you choose to write functional?). C# looks better than Java but don't have that much demand. Please suggest!

I always remember these things but never take heed because it just doesn’t happen much in the West.

Look up some magazines you know of and see what countries censored them and why. You’ll see how benign some of the triggers are.

It’s the benign censorship that will catch up to us.

The WSJ editorial board had an Op-ed about this[0], and tried very hard to make it seem like it was an overreach by the AG and it was vital that ICANN go through with this.

They don't do any processing except maybe the subtractive blend of putting ink over other ink. Presses are pipelines so you get some pipeline type similarities and sure they deal with images but a meh. A press is more similar to a monitor than a GPU, I would think.
For something less ranty I recommend Kenji López-Alt's channel. He puts a gopro on his head and shows everything that goes into making a dish. The videos have so many useful things and he knows what he's talking about.

He's done some of those POV-style videos before, but started to really lean into it about a month ago. I think his channel has grown by ~150K subs in the last month.

There's a sentiment of flatpak being a community thing whereas snap being a case of Ubuntu NIH, but isn't flatpak as much a RedHat lock-in? Is there a technical reason to prefer flatpak over snap, or is the number/up-to-dateness of available apps a reason to prefer one over the other? The info at http://flatkill.org/ certainly is sobering with respect to actual security gained by application sandboxing.

I'd really hate into being drawn into another energy-consuming VHS-vs-Betamax or BD-vs-HDDVD drama. I'd much prefer a single statically linked binary if at all possible (though it may not be given that browsers or browser runtimes on which many modern "apps"/packages are based have accumulated way too much crap over the years, which I think is the actual problem).

I had to look up the "organ kundabuffer"

"In his most important book, BEELZEBUB'S TALE TO HIS GRANDSON, Gurdjieff talks about an organ that was implanted into humanity called the "organ kundabuffer". It was planted by two archangels in response to galactic catastrophe which affected the solar system which includes the planet Earth.

The organ was temporarily implanted into humankind in order to minimize the sorrow of adapting to the stabilization period where the two moons, Luna and Anulios, would return to a balanced orbit around the Earth."

So now you know.

I am one of those users, I've read apple news for some time now, I guess they were able to get it in front of me with those widgets.

However the push for News+ and interspersing paid articles sort of makes me mad. I get that they want to advertise but I wish they would just put in ads, not weave unreadable articles throughout the readable ones.
I'm going to hold up on responding to the points about unfalsifiability for now and focus on addressing this part:

> Obviously, we can't lock the entire civilization down forever, and nobody has made such an argument - there will be a gradual easing of restrictions over the coming months, but there's an expectation that we might see another wave of virus transmission in the fall.

So, the fear of the "second wave", in my opinion, is precisely because of practicing Containment as opposed to practicing pareto mitigation and letting the virus run its course in non-at-risk individuals. Or more accurately, since we're talking about still quaranting ~40% of the US, we would still see a small wave but it would not be nearly as significant.

In other words, the potential for the wave exists because having "protected" everybody from infection, there is now a huge differential pressure for SARS-CoV-2 to exploit. i.e. there are still plenty of vectors and thus the second wave is absolutely a concern.

Given how low prevalence in places like California is, I absolutely think we will see that wave. But again I essentially view it as a sign that we handled the situation wrong.

Given our current Containment policies, the resurgence of the wave might be met by a new wave of lockdowns. I certainly hope not, but that seems very likely. Hopefully by that point though people have mostly went back to work and thus it _might_ be politically untenable.

--

I guess I'll address the unfalsifiable point really briefly (I won't do it justice) - I think the claim that social distancing did/does more than lockdown is definitely falsifiable. Maybe not perfectly so, but we can see movement data and try to correlate that with waves of infection via projecting deaths backwards in time. It's certainly fuzzy given we'd be using average time until death as a proxy, but the claim is much _more_ investigable than the infamous "lockdown worked, end of story" line.
Show HN: Tempomat, a CI Monitoring Tool
Woke up with the idea of a small native mac app, how hard can it be? I had been using CCMenu extensively for quite some period of time, but it has many shortcomings, one of them is not being able to monitor other branches than master, it also only shows a very simple status.

Tempomat is a tiny, fast and secure menu bar app to monitor your continuous integration pipelines for your software projects, you just add a token and the app takes care of the rest.

Features
======

- Observe all the projects and all the branches different CI systems, easily tell which branches are building, have failed or succeeded.
- Visualize on which step a build has failed
- Receive a notification when a branch fails to build.
- Trigger a build right from your desktop.

Upcoming features
==============

- More CI systems: currently only CircleCI and AppCenter are supported but more will come
- More actions on branches/repositories
- Blacklist branches/repositories

Give it a try! I promise you won't be disappointed!
Because it’s not just any TLD. It’s one of the very few special ones that has a very clearly defined origination and governance (well it did for the first decade or so at least).

Capitalism + the underpinnings of the Internet don’t exactly play well together (hence the need for clearly defined net neutrality codified by law). And arbitrarily raising prices on already existing domains registered by people and non-profits who bought in when there were rules in place about such prices is actually wrong.
The EU is not terrified, it (or rather, the local politicians) is corrupt; the politicians are willing to go as far as kissing the Chinese flag but that does not say anything about us, the citizens.

You're basically saying that whatever the price is, the market is right. How do you square that with the elephant in the room, the FED's market interventions? Does it have an effect on prices? If it does, then the prices are obviously not driven only by expectations. If not, where does the excess liquidity on the other side of the FED's treasuries and bond trades go?

Kenji is wonderful. The Food Lab (https://www.amazon.com/Food-Lab-Cooking-Through-Science/dp/0...) is still the first cookbook I turn to when investigating a recipe I haven't made before.

They aren't, but you are. Right
Yes, I was referring to the context "For the typical Silicon Valley style development role" I mentioned.

Part of this may be that we are using different definitions of SLA. Normally when people around me say SLA, they mean something that is an upper bound pretty much always expected to be met (or else there are consequences of some sort). If you are referring to a softer agreement than that, it could make sense. If you were holding 1 hour as an SLA by my definition, that would mean you pretty much need to always have someone on deck to immediately review all PRs, to be safe.

I mostly posted because I don't want people who are less experienced to get the impression that 1 hour average review turnaround is normal or necessary in a typical development environment. In specialist roles, sure. For example, if you told me your work was responding to support tickets created by customers, and it sometimes resulted in PRs to modify your infrastructure-as-code, I could see the team working out a system to always get reviews within an hour.

Okay, so the contention is that humans did not invent the design of DNA, and thus we did not invent programming with DNA. However, we invented animal husbandry several millennia before finding the structure of DNA, and we invented the concept of genetics to discuss and manipulate traits a century before we isolated DNA's low-level structure. Even today, knowing how DNA works, we usually program at the level of genes; see e.g. [0] where a Youtuber is doing genetic manipulation and programming.

This is the same sort of map-territory situation [1] as in my original post. The RNA World [2] is the territory, and genetics is our map.

I see, I think my point of contention was that it's not accurate to say that these are necessarily undercounted covid deaths. That hasn't been proven.

I do agree however that it is very likely that the majority are.

> Also, though not directly due to the virus itself, the 'avoidable' deaths are kinda due to the pandemic and an over-response-ish factor.

Right, the distinction is if they would have occurred in an environment where we weren't locking down and suspending elective surgeries in places that weren't hard-hit. In a place like New York we should definitely assume that the capacity wasn't there until we have evidence otherwise though, so that would be a region where we certainly could not blame overreaction.

Thanks, I'll try to think about this more later on.

I feel that Jira first adds a lot of restraints and red tape, and then makes those highly configurable. I prefer tools that don't have the constraints in the first place.

Ie if in the middle of the sprint a developer finds that some tickets are stuck waiting for some other team and he wants a column on the board to make that visible, he should just be able to add the column.

In Jira if I accidentally put the wrong issue in Done, I have no idea how to get it out... It's the complete opposite.

A physical whiteboard with post-its is rather good. You can use different colors, if each team member has one magnet with his/her name then it can't be on multiple tickets at once, you can draw lines and write words wherever, it's very flexible.

What an online tool should add, besides corona compatibility, is being a good issue tracker. Jira doesn't seem much different on that front compared to almost everything else I've used.

What Jira adds is lots of rules and constraints and imposed structure that gets in the way.

We are in the process of leaving it in favour of Github projects.

No.

I've read Gurdjieff's "All and Everything" (as much of it as has been published) and thought about it deeply. Even so, I don't think I understand even half of it. The part I do understand makes me think that Gurdjieff was a genius, comparable only to Leonardo da Vinci, with the difference that, where Leonardo explored the external world, Gurdjieff explored the internal world.

FWIW, as far as I can tell the "kundabuffer" was literally an organ that excreted some kind of drug. It deranged our thinking and perception, essentially making us high, so that we wouldn't notice that we were being used to somehow stabilize the orbit of the Moon after some disaster. Eventually the Moon's orbit was stabilized and the organ removed, but it was too late. The effects persisted. No one (of the alien/angels that were doing all this) noticed the problem until one person discovered that earthlings were destroying each other. (War is unknown other than on Earth. The rest of the Universe literally have no idea. Which is why no aliens land on the lawn: they're all totally terrified of us.)

What's the big deal?
We Still Don’t Know How the Coronavirus Is Killing Us
IMO, Apple News is still a hobby looking for a purpose, since it was launched close to five years ago and is still available in only a few countries. Forget about the Apple News+ subscription, even the app isn’t available in other countries (you can get around this by setting the region of your device to one of the supported ones). It doesn’t look like Apple devotes much effort to keep it afloat or widen its reach.

What’s even worse is that the Apple News app could allow adding RSS feeds from sites, but it doesn’t recognize RSS officially but will use it internally for sites in Apple’s whitelist. If it allowed adding any random feed, it could potentially be my go to app for news.

Contrast that to Google News — which is predicated on collecting information and showing ads (edit: Google News doesn’t insert ads into news sources, as pointed by gundmc in a reply) — that’s widely available. In Google News, you can get a link of the original article to share with others (and with perhaps an additional step in some cases, avoid tracking of where from and how the link came). In Apple News, sharing a link gives you a cryptic Apple News domain link, which tracks all clicks. I trust Apple more on privacy than I trust Google, but this is one of those annoying things.

I’m sure Apple isn’t trying to beat Google on this front. Apple is just hoping to get paying subscribers while retaining a huge cut of the revenues.
> There is no serious discussion on the dangers of false information...

And what person, in all of the USA, would you nominate to be the arbiter of truth? Who decides, then, what is false information and what is true?

“Leave it to the experts”, you might say, “What is false is what Fauci et al says is false.”

And you may be right, but recall that the US still has a military presence in the Middle East due to the “expert opinions” of our intelligence agencies that Hussein had WMDs.
