Knock on wood, I've had good luck with the Aorus Master from Gigabyte. The only thing I'm missing support for (and not a dealbreaker) is S/PDIF for digital audio out on Linux.

I had no install issues. It ran rock solid under several days of memtest86 and prime95, the latter on both Windows and Linux.

My only "complaint" is that it cannot maintain full turbo indefinitely on even a beefy air cooling setup in a big case with massive airflow. I have 7x140mm fans in the case and on the cooler. The case maintains ambient temperature, except for the (short) stream of air from the CPU cooler to the rear exhaust. Under sustained synthetic load, the CPU will run at >4.4GHz all-core until the heat sink is saturated (usually ~10 minutes), and then slowly stabilize down to a 3.9GHz-4.1GHz range for all cores and stay there. An eventual project will be a water cooling loop with much radiator surface area.
A fair point, leaving with a job offer is much different. For what it's worth I still found it easiest to speak out when young, debt free, and single.
I've been really happy with my Ryzen 9 3900X on a ASUS X570-PLUS AM4 TUF motherboard [0], with 64GB of RAM and a reused GeForce GTW 970 (built this Feb).

No-drama install on Ubuntu 19.10 (18.04 didn't boot due to drivers?). No kernel panics or even X lockups. It's wonderful to have such a fast development box.

If the stock cooler is too loud, the Noctua NH-D15 is silent until full load when it just audibly whispers.

(I'd been developing PhotoStructure on older hardware to make inefficient code paths more immediately painful, but I needed a beefer box to replicate parallelism issues that some of my beta users were seeing. Thankfully, those issues were immediately apparent, and library syncs are dramatically faster now).

Curiously, it doesn't adopt the now-standard approach for multithreaded support: per-thread memory pools, allowing one thread allocating and deallocating the same memory to avoid synchronization. This uses one lock guarding allocation, which means that it can be a bottleneck in a multithreaded workload.
Thanks! Will probably end up fixing the links. We also have some dynamic sizing issues to clean up too. Just wanted to show everyone the project from a usable state!
I find scroll wheels dangerous on the index finger, as it gets quite a workout. I prefer touchpads/ mousepads for scrolling, but I'm curious if foot pedals would be better.
Makes you wonder how much money Google (and sites running ads in general) make due to people doing that. I'm sure quite a few people must accidentally click on ads they didn't mean to clik on due to that shift.
You should first recognize that you have virtually nothing on the line here.

You are part of an elite, high-income managerial class that is insulated from pesky things like "working conditions". Sending an email to your manager or liking a post on Facebook is meaningless.

If you're sincere you'll actually risk something to stand for your principles. Demand that conditions meaningfully change or find employment at a place that doesn't make the world a worse place to live.
This is great, and I was just now preparing to sit down to slog through implementing something like along these lines. You just saved me a lot of time.

As @tpnCC and @seppin said, there is significant clinical & scientific uncertainty about covid19 antibody response and duration, partly because there hasn't been enough time to collect the relevant data (for covid19) and partly because of prior resarch indicating reduced human antibody response to SARS.

Lower in this thread I commented about a 2011 resarch paper that demonstrated anti-SARS antibody levels fell by half 2 years postinfection and were undetectable 6 years postinfection in 21 of 23 SARS patients tested.

They realized a bit late. Europe razed her forests. Maybe they can track their trees because they only have so many. To compare: CA is about twice as big as the UK and Californians own more forests as individuals than the UK has in total. Four times as much area in California is forest as in the UK in total.

They owe the rest of the Earth a terrible debt.

i just want to say, Firefox is seriously fast now, while Chrome continues to get slower [1].

my 10M datapoint uPlot benchmark runs in half the time, for both pure js (fake data gen) and canvas workloads (chart rendering). check out the console in [2].

however, i'm still waiting for the performance assessment in devtools to improve so i can get an easy summary as i can in Chrome.

also, better default form input styling would be nice. it's so...Windows 98....but i'm on Windows 10. :\

I'm stuck with slow internet for now and can say this: The images on the site are far too large in terms of file size. I had to download over 10 MB to view the homepage according to Firefox's dev tools.

https://qbix.com/img/welcome/communities.png is a photo encoded as a PNG. That's a bad idea that will lead to unnecessarily large file sizes (1.9 MB). Use JPG or a newer format like WebP. Better yet, eliminate this image entirely as it's a boring stock image that adds nothing.

https://qbix.com/img/mainVideo.png is also huge (2.1 MB) but doesn't need to be. If it's a video frame then why make it 2,654 px by 1,490 px?

There is no reversing of an md5 hash. You can try to cause a hash collision, or brute force compute it, but you can't turn something like 40 bytes of data into 100 for example.

Who is "we" in this context?
You can't reverse most hashes, you can just check if one thing's hash is the same as another thing's hash. If they are, they're probably the same thing.

I mean, anything related to aesthetics is going to have some difference of opinion. Mozilla appears to have concluded it's the people who dislike the address bar who are a verbal minority, or they wouldn't have gone with it.

And who knows, maybe Mozilla is right—but I wonder if they've actually done large-scale feedback gathering. This isn't the sort of thing you can suss out just from looking at analytics.
Is This a Liquidity Crisis or a Solvency Crisis? It Matters to Fed
As someone who has programmed PHP professionally for 13+ years (and also JS and Python) I have never run into anyone who can place a solid argument since the PHP 7 + Laravel.

-- Let me clarify, PHP is useful with context. For building web apps. Each language has its best-uses. Laravel has the strongest ecosystem and community out of any language/framework combo I've seen.

I can literally setup and deploy a laravel application on a horizontally scaled setup with CI & autodeploy within an hour -- while maintaining industry standards.

PHP had its problems -- historically, but so did most languages. Do you remember Javascript before Node/React? Or before jQuery/Prototype? It was _trash_.

The biggest "con" to using PHP is that it's "bad" for the resume, no one is excited about it, so when looking to hire for it, most developers don't feel inspired by it -- which is a serious consideration depending on your circumstance.
So if someone is murdered in their backyard, and this thing filmed it, they just won’t use the footage? What if it’s the mayor? The chief of police? The president (yes I know he doesn't live in Baltimore and would be surrounded by secret service)?

> Ideally without getting fired.

Well that’s not really possible. By definition “things that take a moralistic stand against existing company practices” is equivalent to “fireable violation of policy” - it’s Moral Mazes 101.

To be in good standing with a large bureaucratic employer is to either explicitly agree or tacitly decline to disagree with the company’s existing practices. Any deviation is defined as problematic behavior.

The only thing that will cause change is if Amazon is legally required to change or else loses profits unless it changes - and in the latter case that may not be enough because people already very rich may not value that lost profit as highly as they value authoritarian control, sociopathic delight in debasing other people, or just digging their heels in against external forces mandating change.

It’s also unlikely that tech workers quitting will do much. Amazon can restaff in a zillion different ways and at this point could hire more mediocre talent and function in more of a maintenance mode and continue to be successful for a long time.
Ah, it's like old times again. Nowadays all the language-snob threads are directed towards JavaScript, but I remember the days when PHP was the language of choice for what HN considers the inferior programmer. Fun memories, all this thread is missing is a link to the fractal of bad design rant.
> What AMD did with Ryzen 9 and X570 was to take the middle segment of that HEDT market and make it it's own segment.

It did carve out a pricing segment there, but the really cool thing is that it's so compatible, backward and forward with other CPUs in the Ryzen family. There is huge upgrade potential.

It would be entirely reasonable to build a system around an R7, with the expectation that its workload will grow, and throw in a discounted 3950X in a year when Zen3 hits.

>What apple does is in the interest of the shareholders and nothing else

Honestly what is with this attitude? Yeah, I get it.. you took a business class and learned that everything a company does should be to maximize shareholder value.

But welcome to the real world. Sure the company wants to make money, but they also want to provide a valuable service. Yeah sometimes making money gets in the way with the best product they could offer.

But it's people making the decisions of what to make. It's people who use the software (let's say osx/ios) that want to make it better. It's developers who sit there are think how can they improve this feature so it's great for people.
Since when is "whataboutism" forbidden and who cares? It is just a stupid Internet meme to shut down discussions.

> slow typing, UI interactions like opening a modal that shouldn't be taking 8s+, where's the literature on how those affect user satisfaction?

That's right there in the post. Google calls these things "input delay." One of the three primary metrics called out in Google's post is FID, "first input delay," which is the delay on the first user interaction.

(Subsequent input delays are also bad for users, but subsequent input delays are usually only as bad as the first input delay.)
What are the bad working conditions? Someone showed me some petition signed by 8000 Amazon employees, but the petition was mostly about climate change, no bad working conditions.

Is there somewhere these bad conditions are documented?

I think such clear, public documentation would go a long way to changing conditions.

> And a recent paper in the UK asserted that there have already been 20,000 (??) excess deaths due to people who need cancer screening and treatment not going (or not being able to go) to medical facilities.

Thanks for the kind words! It's appreciated :)
Yes, exactly. E.g., a datagrid showing, say, only a dozen rows in a full screen browser on a 1080p screen, when it can easily show 2-3x that many and still be perfectly readable. For entertainment/marketing/whatever sites, a dozen rows may be fine, but for a business app, it's frustrating. And sure you can just zoom out, but you still have the same data-to-whitespace ratio, just with unreadably small text.

It also seems like Bootstrap (at least previous versions) makes it unnecessarily hard to get good data density without heavily customized CSS - something that kind of defeats the purpose of using Bootstrap in a business app.
I see Independent Employee as code for hourly worker, and I see hourly worker and dependent contractors being basically the same, other than who chooses what hours one works.
What you describe applies only to some exempt employees. For hourly labor there is nothing that prevents someone from working at both Target and Walmart. In fact this is very common. Scheduling is a hassle yes but it puts the risk off the driver and back on Uber where it belongs: if they schedule someone for an hour, they pay them for that hour.
Salt uses AES too. The problem is it puts together standard primitives in homebrew protocols. Cryptographic protocol design is as likely to mess your system up as cryptographic primitive design.
I really want to use Firefox, but they’re just stuck with so many issues, then suddenly out of nowhere they make the address bar massive.

My personal annoyance, on macOS:

Cmd+Click a link:
- Safari, opens in tab in background
- Chrome, opens in tab in background
- Firefox, opens in tab in background

Shift+Cmd+Click a link:
- Safari, opens in tab in foreground
- Chrome, opens in tab in foreground
- Firefox, opens in tab in foreground

Cmd+Click a bookmark:
- Safari, opens in tab in background
- Chrome, opens in tab in background
- Firefox, opens in tab in foreground

Shift+Cmd+Click a link:
- Safari, opens in tab in foreground
- Chrome, opens in tab in foreground
- Firefox, opens in tab in background

For some reason it’s different for the bookmarks. I opened an issue https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1597910, because really there is no actual reason to make them different, but it was closed on the basis that it might disturb the muscle memory of some users. But changing the entire menu bar is completely fine?
Firefox and Chrome already release on a fixed date schedule instead of a feature based schedule. The proposal is to simply use the date in the version directly instead of indirectly.

Talk to your colleagues.

There are internal mailing-lists for employees who care about this, as well as environmental issues. The lists also have plenty of people who are only there to sneer and astroturf; being on the list is unlikely to get you into trouble.

A much less useful but worthwhile activity is participating in Amazon shareholder meetings and voting on resolutions, and perhaps more importantly, encouraging your colleagues to do the same.
Don't implement your own, there's tons of open source that can do that, for example https://github.com/ory/hydra

Thanks for putting money on this important table.
Reddit was pretty annoyed too. I actually did a little real-life poll (I admittedly might care about minute details too much!), and everyone was either indifferent or negative. Indifference was more common, but, is that really a good outcome?

> Firefox simply wanted it to be more obvious that the address bar is in focus the moment you open a new tab.

Is that it? Because I'm still trying to figure this out! I'm just really surprised that this was a problem for a substantial number of users—the address bar already had a very prominent focus state with its thick blue outline.

I can only imagine how much it sucks to be laid off and what a difficult decision it must be for Airbnb executives.

To me, the severance and exit benefits do seem to strike an employee friendly tone. Kudos to the leadership to striking a good balance on keeping the business alive and doing right by their people.
14 weeks of pay + 1 week / year seems like a silver lining in an otherwise bad circumstance.
Separated employees will receive 14 weeks of pay, and one more week for each year served at the company (rounding partial years up). The firm is also dropping its one-year equity cliff so that employees who are laid off with under 12 months of tenure can buy their vested options; Airbnb will also provide 12 months of health insurance through COBRA in the United States, and health care coverage through 2020 in the rest of the world.

Layoffs always suck, no matter what, but this is laudable behavior on their part.
They should be smaller downloads that install more quickly though, shouldn't they?

I'm not on Firefox ESR, but switching to Windows LTSC made Windows updates a lot less painful and less noticeable, even though technically the frequency is the same.
Daily data on the other causes of death isn't likely to fluctuate much day-to-day except for influenza.

The total deaths for heart disease in 2017 was 648K (just going by the graphic) which is higher than current estimates for COVID19 deaths in 2020 given current measures in place, so in that regard, the chart is misleading.
Who said anything about federal class?

What stops the state from adding its own set of classifications and filing requirements in addition to the federal ones?

That strikes me as a pretty generous severance package.

Tesla Launches Model X-Æ-A-12
These are useful performance indicators for sure, but I don't understand how these are different than the metrics already built into Chromium's "Lighthouse" page speed audit (the "Audits" tab in the inspector).

Is the difference now that they will be more heavily weighed in search engine ranking? The article wasn't super clear on this, and the explanatory links seemed to push towards drinking a lot of Google kool-aid (eg. to measure the Core Web Vitals you must use Chrome UX report, and to do that you must use Google BigQuery, and to do that you must create a Google Account _and_ a Google Cloud Project. Wow.)

On closer inspection this whole thing is just a thinly veiled advertisement for GCP. No thanks.
I'd be surprised if that was the case; they should be in a similar hiring position to Apple. They just seem... less interested in it.

And it's not just designers; it's everything around user experience. For instance, both Terminal.app and the Apple bluetooth keyboard (when plugged into USB) have class-leading latency. That wasn't designers, but it probably also wasn't accidental.

Mind you, the Apple today arguably isn't as good at this stuff as the Apple of a decade or so, and they really fall down in some areas (Apple Music grumble mutter).
