These sound scary :)

Japan's human deaths from murder hornets are "up to 50/yr" (from the article). US's deaths from bee stings are "annual average of 62 deaths"[1]. My rudimentary math (US pop. / Japan pop. * 50 deaths/yr) says that it would be about 131/yr for the US. (Of course this doesn't take into account whatever other factors there are).

The bees on the other hand... Hopefully WA can figure out how to stop these things. I want my local honey...

Thanks for the link! It's a great discussion to have and should be a topic for all learning, not just CS Ed. If you look at the K-12 CS Ed standards defined at the state level, you'll find a generally coherent approach to staged learning of CS, both in terms of computational thinking structure (teach sequential behavior before conditional behavior) and language complexity (Scratch first, Java later). It's also worth considering playful or project-based approaches vs rigorous curricula-based learning... we're lucky to start with playfulness in CS because of the history of Logo. But what about for example, aeronautics? You might really enjoy learning to build and fly a rocket in Kerbal Space Program, but at some point you might yearn for more and benefit from a deep dive into some scaffolded traditional curricula. Then you can come back to Kerbal and apply what you learned, etc etc. Perhaps there's some sort of optimal cadence, different for each person and their interests. What's the analog for CS Ed?
Thanks. That was my intention, for good and bad perhaps. :)
It's not about whether it can be disabled or not, but about the direction Canonical is heading to. Also, I wouldn't call installing Chromium from .deb in 20.04 exactly straightforward.
> especially now that everybody's jumping on the Agile bandwagon, including Windows. There needs to be a way to ensure new versions reach their users given everyone's just churning out barely working software these days.

The fact that everyone is on the agile bandwagon churning out barely working software is the main reason why people do not want new versions of software magically appearing on their computers.

Once you've got a version that actually works for you, allowing an update to come through is like playing russian roulette.

Great post from Calvin. Every founder, even if they're the CTO, should learn at least the basics of selling. Having the whole team aligned on what moves the needle makes a huge difference. It's not enough to offload thinking about selling to the CEO just because it's not the CTO's primary responsibility.

I checked out your website in the hopes of discovering this was intended as some kind of really hard to detect ironic antihumor, but it seems sincere. Buddy, you listen to Lords of Acid, the Geocities of music. Lighten up :)

Definitely. It is important to have one or more fairly undifferentiated tables that function as an inbox or a repository of generic notes into which people can dump stuff easily.

Maybe the stuff gets triaged and organized later, or maybe the stuff in the notes tables just stays as notes - the search functionality got much faster and better a couple months ago and that can surface unorganized stuff.

Hey, can you please not post/argue in the flamewar style on HN? It's not what this site is for. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and sticking to the rules when posting here, we'd be grateful.
That’s fascinating. I would totally be willing to accept that I’m on the other side of a generational divide over VR, and that I’m now too old to “get” new stuff like that. But with kids these days (heh) finding low replay value in VR, my thesis might be closer to the money than I thought.

Faking stdin and stdout in Go
Anyone anyone says 'aesthetic', I instantly feel like they don't care about usability or UX. I use reader mode most of the time on the web, for almost every page, and I've never thought that I wanted to see some flashy colors, fancy fonts, or moving/animated elements.

When I read an article, I want to get the content immediately, in a dark theme, with a readable font and size/spacing. Instead, i get 3 popups, 2 banners i can't close, a bright white background, some crap webfont, several MB of ads and social media garbage, etc.

The web has devolved from what it was without the 'flash'.
I do think plenty of managers who have to manage out someone like the guy who will not stop doing the side hustle get a ton of shit on forums like these.

Hell as a pair I had to send a coworker home because he was so embroiled in day trading. At one point I closed his laptop and said "your either here to work or you can go home and panic about the markets". He got real huffy and then went home. He apologized a week later (he was relatively introspective it just took him a day or so)
The future for the company looked worrisome even before this. Like another commenter said internships are "terrible productivity/$". Companies look at it as an investment to be able to hire later on. If there's low chance of hiring later on then having interns doesn't make much sense anymore.
The author offers one answer to this in his opening text:

I say it's useful on servers because log files, dump files,
or whatever text format servers end up dumping to disk will
tend to grow large, and you'll have many of them per server.
If you ever get into the situation where you have to analyze
gigabytes of files from 50 different servers without tools
like Splunk or its equivalents, it would feel fairly bad to
have to download all these files locally to then drive some
forensics on them.

This personally happens to me when some Erlang nodes tend to
die and leave a crash dump of 700MB to 4GB behind, or on
smaller individual servers (say a VPS) where I need to
quickly go through logs, looking for a common pattern.

> ... I'll continue to recommend Debian testing.

I run the "unstable" branch, personally -- but I've been using Debian for ~22 years now. It's definitely not for everyone (and not for production!) but a lot of the "power users" here on HN would manage just fine with it.

Just make sure to read the tips linked in the parent and the "Don't Break Debian" [0] page.

Could be, though the KCl is a better standard. We know how much KCl we have, and the natural abundance of K40 is well-known.

You'd need a dedicated campaign to assess the potassium abundance in the "standard" banana before you could use it at better than ~100+% errorbars.

The salt-substitute shaker is probably a <5% standard, and we've been using the same one for years.... :).
Can you provide some examples of this? What types of information are you looking for? Personally I have not found this to be the case, for example I have effortlessly gained tons of information from instructional videos on YouTube that would have been much harder to obtain otherwise.

Are you saying that informational resources are being forcefully taken down? Or that their rankings are artificially lowered in search engines?
Understanding Why 0.99999 = 1
Yes we are in trouble because we have this thing called specialization of labor. I learned how to develop software so I could live in the big house in the burbs with the good school system and took advantage of knowing the right people with the right set of skills to help me in other areas. I also shockingly don’t cut my own grass, do my own plumbing or fix my own cars.
It's also convenient for low budget indie game devs. Pixel art is cheap to produce and 2d games are much easier to develop.
In the UK MMR has been a standard vaccination for children born from 1990 onwards -- those born in the 80s (so in their 30s) only got measles+rubella, and those in the 70's (so in their 40s) only got measles.

No evidence of any difference in deadliness between age ranges in under 50s in UK excess deaths.
Are you kidding, that website is awesome! So self-aware and ironic, I love it!
>“You absolutely suck at machine learning,” Mr. Schmidt told General Thomas, the officer recalled. “If I got under your tent for a day, I could solve most of your problems.” General Thomas said he was so offended that he wanted to throw Mr. Schmidt out of the car, but refrained.

Yeah because exactly what the world needs is a bunch of Machine Learning algorithms thrown at matters of life and death and strategic decision making of the US military.

Well, that's unfortunate but understandable. It seems like the Fed should be buying up home equity loans, to offload the risk?

A universal basic income would be best, but short of that, more consumer loans would be useful. And better if they only need to be paid back when you're making money.
the author doesn't seem to understand how to system works. yes, it's not perfect, it doesn't tell you you've got it for sure, just to get tested, in case you've been near someone who has it.

Bastiat did it better, in a twentieth the length, and a century earlier.

Yeah it seems like there is a straightforward free market solution: you don't get a vaccine, businesses may not allow you on their property or in their stores.
IMHO, this would be a perfect application to build using Elixir and Phoenix LiveView. I think it would provide really robust realtime capabilities, and fits well with things like binary pattern matching that Elixir and Erlang handle well.
Adam Wathan is a great example because he has shared details along the way.

His last php course I think he made 300k+. His latest css framework by my calculations netted him over a million.

His in previous refactoring to collections I think he made between 100-150k.

He recently down turn off all ads on his radioshow because he doesn't need the money.

Taylor Otwell has made millions from laravel ecosystem saas type sites.

Jeffrey Way doesn't disclose figured but based on user count and monthly revenue he must be pulling in at least 500k.

It's out there if you want it. Start a radio show, get opinionated, sell others on your vision. Then offer products to support your new vision.
I don’t even know how’s it’s questionable. Every single update we do to prod gets regression tested except for “cross yer fingers” 0-days that we are exposed to.
Why do you consider that insane? It seems bizarre to view inequality as inherently bad, as opposed to a more moderate view that inequality due to government-sponsored monopolies or from influencing politicians to make absurdly favorable deals in exchange for personal kickbacks, etc is bad.
This seems more like Lyft trying to actually do the right thing. Training junior engineers remotely is incredibly difficult not to mention interns.

From a purely business point of view, the economical thing would have been to just cancel the internships. These interns will probably learn very little and they will be a burden to people who have to manage them since the employees workload will increase with the layoffs that have just occurred and all the uncertainty.

I think Lyft should be commended for this move. Yes it sucks to the interns but things are not normal now.
And even that is being commoditized by sites like Squarespace where you don’t need to know that.

But have you looked at what developers are charging on places like UpWork?

Even the simplest mobile app use to cost a lot. Now you have services like this.

Thanks for giving me a heads up. Looks like we will get the money.
Jaeger Tracing embraces OpenTelemetry collector – deprecates Jaeger collector
FWIW, my #1 lesson learned from my activism failures is:

Have an affirmative agenda.

Offense over defense. It's just so much harder to oppose stuff. Especially if you have an end goal. Like pushing rope.

If I could do it all over again, I would have started a "citizen owned elections" effort.

Creating an open source software and hardware stack, model legislation (for the policies, laws, rules, regulations, procedures), and educational materials (messaging, talking points, explainers).

I went all across my state with the "citizen owned elections" notion. It was a 90/10 issue. Broad support across Dems, GOP, Greens, good govt groups, etc.

Alas.
Yes i now realize that, thanks for explaining further. The original comment was worded in a way that i misunderstood the claim.
I know that the virtual co-working rooms at complice.co/rooms/ has a similar issue, though the light goes off when you navigate away from the page.

The FAQ isn't very illuminating, saying:

> In the coworking rooms, when I pause my video, why does my webcam light stay on?

> Good question. The system that I used is set up that way by default, for... reasons. It definitely isn't surreptitiously sending your video to anyone. It's sending blackness (and a note that says "I'm not actually sending video"). But yeah, unfortunately you have to reload the page if you want to make the light go away. Somewhere on a long todo-list is making the Pause button actually stop the webcam.
FWIW, not all pixel art is equal (and that's okay!). For some, pixel art is a means to an end—cheaper/easier to produce, focus on other aspects of game quality or time to release. For others it's very much a labor of love with plenty of time and effort dedicated to quality art.
A colleague of mine was also looking at Ubuntu Core for an IoT project recently, but Ubuntu wanted $15k/y to run a private, branded Snap store - erm.. no.

If they really want snaps to succeed, there should be an open source snap store protocol, and 3rd parties should be allowed to run their own stores, just like you can add 3rd part apt repos, for example.

We decided on Photon OS, BTW. It's tiny, and perfect for use as a Docker host.
The reason is explained in the article where the quote comes from.
Aren't there any differences?
Show HN: SoundsMix – Mix sounds to help relax, study or work
Hi all,

I was bored today and I made this little app https://soundsmix.xyz to mix sounds and create combinations of sounds to help relax while studying or working.
Nothing new and original :)

How can I improve it?

Any suggestions?
Thanks
It was a weird phrasing to me, but i get what you were all saying now.
If you want to disable updates, it should not still be updating... I don't get your point....
My understanding is that vaccine development efforts went very well for SARS, and we never "got a vaccine" just because there was nowhere with an active outbreak to perform the trials that would prove it works. So much of that knowledge should transfer, and there's strong reason to expect some of the vaccines currently in development and testing will end up working.
Calvin is a monkey man
Yep, and if you look at average CPU load percentage, it's usually in single digits.
Yes, I've used Clojure and other Lisps before. The thing is, I don't want to overwrite function definitions in a REPL, because I then lose track of what code I'm actually running. It's much more effective just to make changes in a text editor and track your state using version control. In a language that compiles quickly, a REPL just adds an additional layer of complexity for no benefit. In a language that doesn't compile quickly, redefining functions on the fly in a REPL is a useful hack that lessens the pain somewhat.

>I use vim + vim-fireplace to write my code, then highlight the parts I want to evaluate. So I get both in one.

Sure, and with Go in VSCode, I just click 'run' above the test I just wrote. It isn't any more difficult.
>I will take this moment to repeat that it would take less than a second to make those links blue instead of purple and the design would already be infinitely more usable.

It seems they intentionally took a second to change the default behavior and make links purple. facepalm

I found one of the most important parts of K-12 is just learning to interact with people your own age + being able to work with people effectively.

Are you concerned about this? Or do you have a way to effectively replace this?
There was nothing wrong with Synaptic + Deb files that needed fixing. Same with Systemd and now they're going after our home directories (never mind that it breaks SSH). My home directory is already portable as in all my config information is in .dot files. As for snap, yet again a solution in search of a problem. you can download a nightly-build as a compressed archive and run it without installing. I too will be moving with my next installation. any recommendations for a small fast distro where the GUI doesn't get in your way?
Best app back end to use for location-based apps in 2020?
Firebase (even with GeoFirestore) seems severely limited in terms of queries, e.g. find all users within 10km of the current location who are between 18 and 25, male and are interested in x,y,z is currently impossible.

What alternatives are there that facilitate this type of query in 2020?
And if possible this is a great lesson for early employees, up to maybe 50.

Having an engineer or PdM take 1 hour per week to jump on sales calls and just listen is one of the best things they could be doing early on.
Try to write a parser for both and compare the results.

Presumably mostly not. The original rubella vaccine was developed in the late sixties and the current vaccine (that's part of MMR) didn't come out until 1979.
The article is pretty good and the author seems to understand how the app works, can you provide some specifics?

I think giving up a significant amount of privacy for technology that’s “not perfect” is a pretty dangerous slippery slope.
I think we can only ascertain whether this is a good or bad thing if there was data on the amount of valid abnormalities caught by this system vs having nurses and doctors having to do rounds. We also have to take into consideration the fact that they may run out of money for disposable protective gear, or even have the amount of protective gear available for purchase drastically reduced. From his disclaimer in the post it also seems like they're using this on top of their typical monitoring so that the staff can have insight in between visits
I frequently recommend https://openviewpartners.com/blog/founder-led-selling/ as a good early stage enterprise sales framework. It is addressing a different, but complementary, set of questions to this post. If you're at a stage to need this kind of feedback, you should read it too.
I’m generally opposed to such speculative papers receiving widespread publicity; they often present valuable ideas, but the general public hasn’t been handling such speculation all that responsibly during this pandemic.

This is an exception. If you aren’t already vaccinated, you should seek to correct that. It might not protect you against COVID-19, but it’ll definitely protect you against other diseases.
This is the problem with pie in the sky US neoconservatism or neoliberalism. Not every has a secular civil society ready to jump in and create lasting national institutions. Then they get all hot and bothered when what replaces a dictatorship is either control by a party they don't like, mass corruption, total anarchy, or some combination of the three.

See: Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, Syria, Libya, South Sudan

The particularly dumb thing about Libya is that the US administration at the time was quite keen on emphasizing that they did not want to get involved initially, since the US was tired of war and the US has no major presence there. Britain and France, who loved waxing on about Iraq being an immoral war, were the primary supporters of intervention.
