> And it shouldn't be spidering its way into the Gnome login manager, which grew a systemd dependency a couple of years ago.

gnome-shell used by the Gnome/Ubuntu login process also depends upon evolution-data-server!! See `apt-cache depends gnome-shell` for other dependencies...

Debian chose systemd instead of upstart because of licensing, not features, according to https://wiki.debian.org/Debate/initsystem/upstart
Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to respond.
It's a slightly odd article, in that it mentions things like avoidannce of the obese, the elderly and xenophobia, but it doesn't really talk about the obvious things like the disgust reflex - avoiding shit, mouldy food etc.
I'm not hugely into Python, so not sure about the details of virtualenv, but if you want to install packages fetched by jpm in a different directory, you can set `JANET_PATH` to where you want them to go.

So doing `export JANET_PATH=$pwd/packages` would put them into `./packages` from your current working directory.

"We are looking for people who love food and crave the experience of working in a restaurant that operates more like a tech startup — after all, that’s my background and we are backed by the Shopify founders."

who craves the experience of working in a restaurant? wtf is wrong with that woman? it's a job and they enjoy it if the boss treats them fair, they get along with their colleagues and the customers are friendly. "crave", "love", ... that vocabulary is already sickening and pretentious in this context.
Why exactly it is "crap"? And which other protocol would be better than this?

Those seem a bit contradictory, no? China also has over a billion people and managed to find the labor to perform contact tracing.

Agree. At $dayjob, our help desk guys reported dozens of calls from people having VPN connectivity or performance issues since stary-home. But most users see great throughout.

Nearly every call was from an employee with their own cable modem or WiFi router.

Most of these devices had never been updated, and many were part of botnets. When replaced with ISP gear things just magically start to work.

Surprisingly Comcast, RCN, and even AT&T had ample supply in mid-March. CPE-as-a-service makes sense for non-technology people.
Why do you think you will be able to disable cellular modem in the future? You won’t have that option. Also Apple’s tracing works offline via Bluetooth.
Germans haven't been told repeatedly they have a patriotic duty to avoid hospitals to save their national treasure.

The British numbers are public and speak for themselves. ER attendance halved. Cardiac patients halved. People stopped going to hospitals when they needed to - luckily Germany avoided socialised healthcare and hospitals are just seen as normal companies.

As for Italy, there have been similar problems there with elderly homes in particular and hospitals struggling with staffing sure to lockdowns and isolation.

Ultimately this is the same virus everywhere. It doesn't look like it though. So differences in national performances are telling us a lot of important things about how governments have reacted.

Javascript build chains can look at all the definitions in your project and it's dependencies and can then remove the definitions that never get used.

This you can have 1000+ recursive dependencies and still wind up with an only slightly bloated program in the end.

The same design feature also means that different dependencies can see different namespaces so it is not such a deadly problem that dependency A and depends cycle B both need different and incompatible versions of library C.

"Let's not do it because it has potential for abuse" is the exact reason a government shouldn't do most things.

If they implemented an anonymous and/or privacy protecting system, then sure this wouldn't be a problem. It has some slippery slope potential but as it is it wouldn't stand too likely to grant the government dangerous powers.

They however are not implementing an anonymous or privacy protecting system. The system is supposedly anonymous because it doesn't record a name however it logs the user's phone number, all location data, and any Bluetooth device it detects. This is more than enough information to maintain a more or less complete record of all of the interactions and travel history of the majority of the population.

The app is mandatory and is now required to be included on any phone before it can be sold in India. It is a criminal offence to have a cellular device without the app on it on your person. That is horrifying because all the government needs to do is not roll the decision back after the crisis is over and they have instituted a more or less complete surveillance state.

A crisis is always the excuse for these types of power grabs. In the US it is often something like the "War on Terror", an attempt to stop paedophilia, or an attempt to stop school or inner city violence.

Regardless of whether you agree with a particular policy, the first and foremost question should be "How dangerous would this be if it was abused?" and the second should then be "How much would it take to change this into something that could be abused?". To say that these questions are a cliche or should not be asked is ridiculous as they are one of the only ways that citizens can keep control over their government.

"He began his professional life as a teacher but then switched to the banking and finance sector in various roles, working at Bear Stearns before forming his own firm"

My wild guess is that he became disillusioned with the work hard and you will succeed mantra, and realised what many others before him realised, it's all about contacts. So he gave billionaires the one thing they couldn't easily get access to: models. And some of those would be underage he would have immense leverage against them.

"He ran a money management firm catering to the ultra-rich, primarily for Victoria’s Secret mogul Les Wexner."

I think the results speak for themselves. It worked great for him. So how do we fix this semi-broken system, is there anything we can do to prevent this happening again?

Coders in Cars Getting Chatty – Damian Conway
I don't understand where you are going with this. Can you show me that contact tracing can make significant difference? If not, then I won't consider the other points as they are simply irrelevant. Without the setu app being mandatory, going by government figures (which I doubt somewhat), only about 1.2k people have died so far.

I will consider that as a starting point and compare this to all the unnecessary deaths that happen in the country which government blatantly ignores.

And we still spend 3.6% of the total GDP on the healthcare so not really good. Could be anecdote but I am seeing less specialists in india and more dentists, dermatologist, and cosmetics.

Government hospitals are still unhygienic where I live so I won't even consider going there.
Ask HN: How do you achieve high concurrency with your Python services?
We have a bunch of python services in flask and falcon which we run using gunicorn with sync workers. Most of our services are I/O bound. We want to be able to handle bursty loads of upto 50-60 requests per second in each service.

We have been using the 2x + 1 thumb rule to decide the number of workers for gunicorn but to achieve the throughput we want with sync workers we'd need to scale the amount of cpu which leads to inefficient cpu utilization.

One option we are trying is gevent but that has its own issues with grpc which we are looking into. What other things do people do for this? AsyncIO? I know there's a bunch of new ASGI frameworks that have come up. What has been your experience with these in production?
Not sure how that’s relevant to what is discussed here. Would you only consider game console companies that never lost money?
I'm not sure I understand -- you seem to think I'm making a "bad faith argument", rather I see it as an observation. China has gone for 2) (not that they weren't a police state already), Sweden for 3), the rest of Europe seems to be inching towards 2). Do you have a different view? (genuinely interested).

No need to worry about me getting scam calls, I don't have a phone.
I do not mind so much if camera turns on when I am about to join (or right before joining).

The issue is "while joined in the call" I turned off the camera via UI), which indicates to all users that I have muted the Video. However, it appears to be clear the camera feed is still on (e.g. indicated by green light / hardware).

In other video call apps (e.g. Google Meet, Zoom), it turns off as expected. But in FB Messenger this is not the case and only turns off once you disconnect from call.
A context-free grammar can do it; you'd have three productions "ascending comparison chain," "descending comparison chain" and "equality chain" to cover the valid possibilities.

But, yeah, if there are contradictory comparisons, that should be deprecated and raise an error immediately because it indicates a logic error. If you're doing something awful like using custom operators for side-effects, just write out (a <= b) and (b > c).

Most likely, though, no one is using custom operators for side-effects in chaining because the implicit `and` coerces arguments to booleans. So, with numpy, you can compare two ndarrays with a < b and it returns a new array of booleans, but you can't chain compare three ndarrays because `and` coerces the result to a single boolean.
I guess it's ok if you are aware of it but this can be a source of bugs: let's say you're not aware of this "feature" and you are in the middle of writing some code and want to know whether A is A always evaluates to true for integers. So you fire up Python and type "10 is 10" which gives True. ...

Covid drug makes virus mutate to death
Wow, $11 for a kebab?? I just ate one for 3.50€ around the corner the other day (Berlin) and the shop didn’t have to close even after all that lockdown.

Maybe the reason the margins are so low in the US is that everyone tries to rip each other off?

If all the providers of utility services (cleaning, water, electricity, ...) start to push the pricing limits, no wonder you’ll end up having no margin left at $11.

I’d rather make the kebabs myself every single day at that price!
Chained promises are much easier to read when the steps are inlined as multi-line lambdas rather than having to read the code backwards for every function definition. And as much as i love list comprehensions, map() and filter() with 2-3 line lambdas also make a lot of sense.

Sure, you "should" use asyncio instead of promises but honestly it has its own problems, mostly in that it requires the rest of your legacy code base to also be async.

Agreed. It strikes me as an inelegant abuse of notation even when it's used in a maths context, albeit a convenient one. It violates the way we can usually reason about infix operators.

a < b is an expression which gives you a booean value, true or false. Why then are we comparing whether it is less than, or greater than, some number?

Unlike with addition or multiplication:

a < b < c ≠ (a < b) < c

also:

a < b < c ≠ a < (b < c)

instead:

a < b < c = ((a < b) ^ (b < c))

The same criticism does not apply to C's chained assignment expressions, a = b = c, but I dislike that for another reason: if the type of b is a narrower type than that of c, you may get an unexpected value assigned to a.
Spec has it's place, but I think people are trying to shovel spec in all sort of places; for example, heavy data parsing, making code very hard to track. Reminds me on core.logic movement couple of years ago, where everyone tried to have own parser/ui/whatever written in it, resulting very unreadable code.

What I'm really missing from spec is ability to disable it with flag or property, like "assert" macro. Sometimes I just want piece of code to run as fast as possible with less bytecode and instructions executed.

This is just “security theater”, to put it in blunt terms. The number of smartphone users in India is around 500 million out of a nearly 1.4 billion population. Most of the smartphones are also cheap low end models that likely won’t support this app (and without a lot of battery drain and other issues).

The app is also very intrusive in the amount of information it collects. It requires continuous GPS access. It uploads data to a server. There is no data protection or privacy law in India, even after privacy was declared as a fundamental right a few years ago.

I read in a research pointed out in an Ars Technica article that contact tracing using technology starts providing more utility when 60% of the population uses it. That’s simply not possible in India.

Interestingly, the information technology minister announced that there would soon be a solution for feature phones as well.

For the requirement on phone manufacturers to pre-install this app on new phones, I hope at least Apple fights it out. We’ll soon know how strong Apple is on rights in certain countries.
Which is a lot better than 1) and 3), unless you are a glove carrying member of the Cult of Thanos.

Saying that some part of the population will die and should be left to die only seems like a very good idea when you are not in that part of the population.

But they respect apologies. If I screwed up, I quickly learned to cop to it. The absolute worst thing I could do was cover it up.

Their attitude was not a punishing one, but we were expected to fix our mistakes, and ensure they did not happen again.

If we said we did not know something, it was assumed we would learn, or find someone who did.

Let's say the same one but put some privacy in place. Let's have full transparency about how the information is used. Maybe put a more privacy friendly law in place like GDPR. Something that keeps the govn in check.
