Aside from workday access to family, I think you’re just describing regular dedicated private offices per each individual knowledge worker, which superior on all fronts except commute time (yes, superior even on a real estate cost basis).

Private offices for all allow social distancing at the office if needed, ability to tweak your surroundings to suit your needs when doing task work, and easy access to share physical space with a team when needed.

I worry we are losing sight of how disastrous co-working spaces and all open-plan designs are.

Fully remote is better than open plan or coworking for sure, but none of these options come close to just coming to our senses and bringing back private offices with doors for individuals.
What kind of refactorings would you like to do but GoLand doesn't help with? I'd be interested in that kind of feedback. Thank you!

No, you may still want to use the IDE to access functionality that is not available through slime. But you have the choice. According to the slime documentation: "Most features work uniformly across implementations, but some are prone to variation. These include the precision of placing compiler-note annotations, XREF support, and fancy debugger commands (like 'restart frame')."

Sounds like the automated patent reviewer is the unix yes n command for now. Sounds pretty solid.
And what do you subdivide it to? How do you trace rays against it? How do you map textures on to it? How do you visualize it in real time? How do you work with it in a different program?
The problem with that take is assuming even distribution. Nothing in the ocean is. Almost all ocean life is in the top 50 meters. And the vast majority of that is close to a shore, the same shores where the majority of plastics are introduced to the ocean.

Covid-19 Ventilator Management and Sedation: Improving Survival with Dr. Wes Ely
I'll note that the "Google" name doesn't convey the idea of search. So even by your own standards it's not very good.

I also suspect you weren't around for Google's debut. The name wasn't what made it better than its many competitors. It was the enormously better product. If anything, they succeeded despite the name, which was goofy-sounding and an obscure nerd reference that maybe 1% of their audience would get. And since then they've stayed in the lead through continuous product innovation, not because nobody could think of a better name.

That depends. Distance from somebody you really really dislike can make it easier to work with that person. What you dont see can not annoy you and you can limit communication to written.
One interesting aspect of making everyone WFH is that it is effectively moving the cost of office space from the employer to the employee. Most homes are not designed or setup to be virtual offices for two employees, because most people never really considered it when they acquired their current living space, which is the reality many people are working within now.

If this becomes the new normal, it will change the way people think about what their home is used for. In many cases, it implies an increase in needed living space, which comes at a cost.
I guess this depends on the bike share program. I've definitely ridden my share of bike share bikes that were in very bad shape (and I have a fairly high tolerance for junkers).

The bike share program in question shut down and isn't available in my area anymore, so maybe that was just because they were cutting back.

I think that could help some, since the latency problem is likely made worse by the difficulty reading people's body language to identify the flow of the conversation (e.g. latency + not being able to read the body language of when someone is finished speaking means people interrupt each other).

However, I don't think it would help with the latency itself.

> Sorry but I don't understand how keeping contact information private or public has any effect on the compliance of people to stay in quarantine?

Because if you know who's supposed to be in quarantine you can take steps to verify that they actually are. And also because people are simply less likely to comply with rules when they know no one can tell if they're following them.

> I don't understand why you think an app that can promise to keep people's personal data private would gain lower adoption than one that was explicitly collecting such data. Maybe I've misunderstood what you're trying to say here but it would make more sense to me that an app that can preserve privacy would have higher adoption, higher trust and therefore higher compliance levels.

Again, because you're comparing "opt-in and private" with "opt-in and non-private". I'm comparing "opt-in and private" with "mandatory and shares user data with the health authorities" (which is different from "[opt-in|mandatory] and public" in that in the latter case any member of the public can get information about infections; I think South Korea are/were running a system with that level of sharing).
Only net profit to the owner flows out of the community. The money going to employees at the branch/showroom (which would still be retained, as they serve a purpose regardless of who runs them) is still retained in the community. Given how many auto dealerships are franchises owned by out-of-town individuals or groups, it’s already the case anyway.
No, that was the dealerships
While I don't agree with the original discussion points, I don't think this counterpoint has much merit. While France may not be "one of the richest" verbatim, there's no denying France is a rich first-world country. In the list you linked to, it ranks 25 out of 187 by the IMF estimate and similarly in other listings.

As someone who started off in "quantum" in similar conditions around the same time, but decided to stay on the academic researcher track:

A great deal of the recent progress has been on honing, parallelizing, and automating the same processes one used to do by hand/at small scale in 2013. You'll probably instantly recognize most of the things going on in the lab, and could become productive on a short schedule.

However, I'd be wary of the medium-term prospects of the field: The discord between the perceived and actual capabilities of the hardware remains as big as ever. You could consider re-entering the field if you're happy contributing to incremental technological advances relevant to other researchers. Progress with meaningful societal or economic impact is probably much further off.
I don’t buy the idea that dealerships benefit communities. If they simply charged sales tax based on the address of the purchaser, it would be more equitable.

The current law creates local dealership monopolies, and the dealerships provide terrible service, and rip everyone off as a result. If you don’t like it, you have to drive dozens of miles to go to a competitor (and car purchases invariably involve multiple trips).

Cities want the sales tax revenue, so they give the dealerships huge tax breaks to attract them.

The whole system should be scrapped.

Yeah, the old USENET argument of comp.lang.c, kind of missed that.

Here are my reading recommendations,

"This page is meant to eventually help document the ongoing effort in the "gcc-in-cxx" branch to make gcc compile in C++ mode, i.e. as C++ source code. So, the goal of this branch is to facilitate switching GCC's implementation language to C++."

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/the-great-c-runtime-c...

> "We have converted most of the CRT sources to compile as C++, enabling us to replace many ugly C idioms with simpler and more advanced C++ constructs."

"Provide C symbols as specified by the standards, but take advantage and use C++ language facilities for the core implementation."

Experience: 14 years

Branding & identity designer, full-stack web developer focused on helping startups get both their marketing and product off the ground ASAP. I cover everything from logos and business cards to websites and web apps (Node + Mongo)

Designer of the branding for io.js, which has now become the new Node.js — https://behance.net/gallery/23269525/IOJS-logo-concept

Social banners for io.js on Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/official_iojs

I almost landed the logo design for jsDelivr CDN but even though they paid me for the job, they seem to have gone in a more angular.js/HTML5 style logo in the end. Which is a pity as I use their service quite a bit and would've loved to see my work on their masthead.

Previously, I was a front-end engineer at Infinera working on web-based telecom solutions. Specifically, I re-built parts of their Java-based DNA NMS for the web using Angular and D3.js. I also designed and implemented a style language for their internal apps.

Over the years I have found a few clients from these threads and it has always been exciting to work with HNers. Looking forward to meeting some new faces this time around, cheers.
I'm much less worried about tcp segmentation offload being disabled, than a single core, single threaded test. QUIC is going to hurt performance the most on multicore, multithreaded loads, where with TCP, you're getting the NIC to hash packets and deliver them to per-cpu rxqueues, and (hopefully) avoiding a lot of cross-cpu locking. That's going to be painful on QUIC unless/until you can get NICs to hash on the connection ids.

Unless you are an institutional investor, Puts are just expensive to have... Imagine you invest 3% of your portfolio in Puts, that money will be lost (probably cutting your 6% S&P500 return in half) only to give you a 500% / 1000% return on those 3%. There generally is a huge Spread (e.g., 10/30/50%) so you are already down the moment you buy the Puts.

The spread increases for “black swans” far out of the money events - so people are pricing the possibility of a crash into the Puts...

I doubt that a lot of people actually make money w/ Puts...

You would have lost your money most of the time for the past 15 yrs or so... May come out “even” if you get “lucky” and the market folds twice in between.

The only exception might be individual titles you believe are overpriced (e.g., 950 USD TSLA...).

Instead of buying Puts prior to retirement, just reduce the exposure. Btw, that is always true: Puts on stock index essentially have the same effect as lowering your equity invest (but you safe money).

Personally I doubt the Joe Doe investor will make any money w/ Puts on indices.

One of the reasons to study category theory is that it holds out promise of a way, mathematically rigorous, to discover and describe the essential complexity of a task or problem.
Is there no way to keep it going, if only to finance hosting or keep know-how? I don't need to tell the people at cliqz.com, but the last couple weeks have demonstrated clearly that we could also be looking into a grim future of oligopolistic dominance in digital media, ecommerce, advertising, e-learning, and chat/workflow. I guess it's not the right time to ask for donations/crowdfunding, but maybe you could approach a second-tier cloud hoster having an axe to grind with G, or even AWS for sponsorship.
CPU utilization is a zero-sum game. If you need to use the CPU to calculate checksums or do packet segmentation then it’s that much less CPU available for TLS.

I would love to see more investment in that sort of infrastructure commons. Especially if it were not directly under the control of a single government, but spun off into a relatively independent entity, akin to the Red Cross, the USPS, or the FNMA.
I like the <feature/featurename> naming scheme because in some Git software (at least in Visual Studio) all of the branches starting with <feature/> will show up in a collapsable folder named feature in the interface.
I'd love to hear if anyone has an example of a great dev experience/environment/workflow? It seems like they are all hacky or bad in one way or another.

Some general things I'd quantify as making a "good" environment:

- The time from saving a file and seeing the change should be low

- Running the environment is complete, just like production/staging

- Database schemas are reproducible and in a single location

- Intermittently issues due to differences between machines are nonexistent

- A debugger can be hooked up to the process or otherwise remotely debugged via network

- Very little configuration necessary

- Ability to use third-party APIs for integrations and infrastructure dependencies

- Any crons or async tasks are easy to run

- No other arbitrary limitation on access that get in the way (it is just audited if necessary)

- [If allowed] production data can be pulled in for testing
I think you may have missed what the parent comment was saying—that the polygons can be made smooth before render time. This is not a question of just faking it with normals. Instead, you can actually just work with a polygonal mesh and then post-process it to make it actually smooth. The classic technique for this is Catmull-Clark subdivision. If you think polygons on screen are offensive, you can just run the algorithm until the individual polygons are under the size of a pixel.

The fact that you see polygons on an otherwise circular object in a game just means that the game isn’t giving you a more detailed mesh when objects are close to the screen. There are a lot of reasons for this, and it’s important to consider that you often get the best overall quality in modern real-time graphics with retopologized meshes. It’s easy enough to make these with a given quality and make lower-LODs from them, but just as a matter of consequence you won’t see higher-LODs than the retopologized version. And why bother making super-high-LOD models anyway? If you look closely at an object there’s a finite amount of texture/model/etc. detail that the game can present. Might as well make the LOD for the model complement the amount of detail in the texture.

The whole process is rather complicated these days, with different workflows (even different programs) for organic objects (like people, animals, demons, whatever) and hard surfaces like goblets, stone tiles, architecture, etc. The two main things people want to do when modeling are sculpt and create a sensible topology, and surfaces like NURBs (or worse, Bézier curves) turned out to be a bit cumbersome for both sculpting and creating meshes.
