Untrue about infinity / easy spin. Easy spin means that when you rotate a PIECE, it's locking timer is reset. This is not a feature on any recent major tetris. The closer would be TAP's or Ti's locking system where the timer resets if the piece moves down a row. Those games compensate a lot of the difficulty with increased speed meaning you have to play faster and cleaner to keep up.
It will hopefully break the Academic Industrial Sports Complex, and rich parents can stop Photoshopping their useless brat's heads into photos of rowboats and basketball courts. They should be giving those scholarships to poor hard working kids who know how to use Photoshop, instead.

>4. CW-1 allegedly photoshopped applicants’ faces onto stock photos of athletes, sometimes in ridiculous ways.

>In one case described in the court documents, CW-1 told a parent that he would photoshop an applicant to make it look like he had played football, even though his high school did not have a football team. CW-1 said this would increase his chances of admission to USC to 90 percent, and the two even discussed what fake position he would play. “I’m gonna make him a kicker,” CW-1 said, prompting the parent to laugh and say, “He does have very strong legs.”
Well said.

The Air upgrades, as I recall, were dual core i3 to quad core i5 to quad core i7. The quad core i5 is obviously the best one for the price. Though the i7 is only $150 over that, which was only worth it to me for the quicker shipping.

If not identify a problem then find a solution, then what?
Lake Agassiz
No, it wouldn't. I'm not an expert in epidemiology, so take what I'm about to say as speculation.

My understanding is that viruses typically cause symptoms because they cause the virus to spread, things like coughing spread the virus. If a virus induces too strong of a reaction then the host dies or can't function while they have it and it doesn't spread.

It's probably unlikely for a virus to develop an infectious period where the symptoms are mild but strong enough to spread and then shift phases to become lethal, as a virus has no coordination between itself.

I think typically viruses are either in an asymptomatic phase, where they're less likely to spread and don't cause symptoms (because they haven't replicated much), and a symptomatic phase where spreading is more likely but obvious the person has it.

As a last bit, my understanding is that "novel" viruses, such as this novel coronavirus, are particularly concerning when they cross over from a non human host and become infectious because they haven't developed to have mild symptoms that are amenable to spreading well, and so can be more deadly than viruses that evolved alongside or within the human population.
The touchbar is not useless - that is an opinion I do not share.

I do not use the Fn keys in MacOS - and having media controls, screen lock, and other data in the touchbar makes more sense for me. It was and is an experiment in user behavior and UI. Some like it, some don't. I'm not committed to it, but I don't want the HN bubble to think their "bad touchbar" is the only opinion.

As probably one of the bigger wrestling fans on HN, I feel obliged to point out that WWE is doing very poorly even though it's just about the only live sport-like product left on TV: https://www.f4wonline.com/wwe-news/wwe-smackdown-falls-below...

WWE's TV deals are in danger, which is why they are terrified and trying to be the first thing back up and running, to grab as much marketshare as possible while they can. Doesn't seem like anyone's biting, though.

(the shows are also pretty unwatchable these days, but that was a problem long before coronavirus. that said, I agree with the other commentator that some of the pretape stuff they've been experimenting with has been working okay, and I'm kind of cautiously optimistic about the upcoming Money in the Bank PPV, which sounds like the film "The Raid" but with pro wrestling)
The WHO is the same organisation that has been telling people that face masks are not useful [1], repeating claims like no H2H transmission while ignoring warnings from Taiwan, discouraging travel restrictions and bans as late as Feb 29th citing trade and economic impacts (!!!) [2], and even fearmongering tweets like people can be infected with COVID19 twice (that they shortly retracted) [3]; so it's really hard to take this body as credible.

Look at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_grid#/media/File:A_...

The purple lines there stand for the highest voltage level of the grid which usually runs at 380.000 to 400.000 Volts(with a few higher exceptions). These and their transformers are the most vulnerable to what we are talking about.

What do you hope to 'McGuyvering' there with maybe 110.000 Volts when the whole structure and anything connected to that is designed, specified, and built for at least three times the voltage?
https://github.com/xi-editor is an example of the architecture you're referring to I believe. Xi's README makes it clear that very high performance is one of the main goals: in particular it mentions the latency between keypresses and screen painting. To what extent does this RPC-based architecture limit performance compared to a single-process architecture? I know that the original author of Xi very much knows what he is doing, so I guess the answer is "it doesn't" -- I was just hoping to be educated on this point.

How does that defend against a compromised employee which is the problem we're seeing here? If the employee was bribed into giving out his credentials he can very well be bribed to just do the dirty work himself if the credentials are unusable outside the corporate network.
That's crazy sales numbers. Congrats. And I noticed an issue with leanpub sales notifications as well, was pleasantly surprised to see I'd earned more than what my emails were indicating. Seems to have been fixed, no discrepancy in last two weeks.

For all my books, I've made it free for a few days and promoted it on HN/reddit/twitter/etc. That period gives me the most sales (as both leanpub and gumroad allow people to pay more than the price of the book).

Before my latest book, due to increasing fear of the pandemic, I made all my books free for the foreseeable future and released the markdown source as well. Then, released the new book early (cutting down exercises and few more things). My post on HN [1] reached front page, in which I also mentioned about my other books. Last month saw the biggest sale ever for me, covers about four months of my living costs. After about two week break, I decided to update all my books (will take about two months). And then back to writing another book.

I also got an offer for one of my books from a publishing company, which I turned down. A few users wrote me a mail, felt nice to discuss and goes a long way in motivating me to continue writing and improving my content. A big thanks to all the readers :)

Sorry, but hard disagree. For all the failings of SQL systems, they work staggeringly well 99% of the time as long as the operator understands how they work. No-SQL systems do have their place, but all too often their choice stems from a failure to understand SQL-based databases. (And the hard truth: unless you’re doing something especially novel there’s a lot less difference between map/reduce and a bog standard table index than no-SQL proponents would have you believe.)

In my estimation, if you're not already intimately familiar with the intricacies of performant SQL, chances are you're not playing in a space where a no-SQL architecture is an appropriate fit anyway. And you're certainly not in a position to make an informed decision between SQL and no-SQL. It's a much better use of this hypothetical person's time to set up Mariadb or Sqlite and do a deep dive into the fundamentals query performance.

The Financial Oligarchs Exposed. Read Before it is Removed
Everyday I keep reminding myself that I don't really own anything - for every single line of code I am compensated with the money that I could use for whatever purpose. That being said, the illusion of ownership and purpose is fake. You don't really own any thing, and your contribution to the code base only has meaning for the company, but is meaningless for yourself. You just make a deal with the owner of the product, a.k.a. the shareholders of a company, that you agree to sell your time/intelligence/effort to them for money.
This is to be expected. Existing need-based programs are disassembled and funds are redirected to the new blanket ones.
>If the creator isn’t getting paid for you to watch, then it’s theft.

Except that bits and bars of gold are nothing alike which is why you can't be convicted of theft for copying bits. Given that there is literally no relation in law nor morality between theft and copyright infringement even if you believe copyright is effective and desirable tool you could skip a lot of misunderstanding by skipping the part where you use a bad analogy to muddy the water.

> Further, any variance of susceptibility or contact density means you don't need to reach 60% for herd immunity. Some estimates say that the real threshold may likely be 25% or less: e.g. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.27.20081893v.... Further, lighter weight social distancing measures can further reduce Rt and attain herd immunity at a lower percentage.

Not surprisingly, that paper has had some discussion: https://twitter.com/CT_Bergstrom/status/1257452758376091648

> It is true that if you could somehow pick and choose who became immune — the way you can in principle with vaccination — you might be able to do pretty well, vaccinating the high-contact individuals only and reaching herd immunity at low levels of vaccination.

> But natural infections don't spread like this. High-contact individuals are connected to low contact individuals. An epidemic spreads organically through the population, infecting who it happens to, not who you want it to.

> IF high contact individuals were only connected to other high contact individuals with high probability, you still might make some headway with nature disease progression. This sort of thing can matter for STD transmission.

> Respiratory viruses tend to be different. You have household transmission, cohort-based (school/work) transmission, and incidental transmission (subway/supermarket).
These render the transmission network quite well-connected.

Additionally, if we're talking natural infection to get to herd immunity, you have the issue of overshoot, so unless you're very precise on measures to tamp down on transmission before you get to herd immunity levels, you easily overshoot the herd immunity threshold by quite a bit.
>There will be no retail industry.

This is a vast overstatement. Drug stores aren't going anywhere. Grocery stores aren't going anywhere. Specialty retailers will always be a thing. When I want to buy a new fishing pole, I'm not reading a bunch of reviews online and going with what sounds right; I'm walking into a Bass Pro Shop and testing out a few dozen of them in my hands. Amazon has done a great job of obliviating the need for big box places like Walmart, but as long as there are humans and teleportation doesn't exist, retail will be a thing. It will simply have to adapt.
Are those words actually weighted with the assumption you are making, or are you just trying to feel better about 800 million people going hungry? The nuance between English words aren’t really apparent in poverty statistics. Because I doubt there was a survey where they all agreed it wasn’t enough, but just enough that aripickar doesn’t feel as bad about 800 million going hungry.
You’re right. Next to Q is correct, still more reachable than it is now. Now Tab is in that position and we’re used to that.
Which word are you referring to? I have limited knowledge of Japanese, but I’m fluent in Chinese so I’m curious if a similar word or usage exists.
The problem with function keys vs touchbar could have been fixed by embedding a small lcd in each key, or in a border above them. Its not like mac's have a shortage of vertical keyboard space given how much they waste on the trackpad.

That way you keep people happy who aren't looking down at the keys, and you give new users/etc nice graphics to help describe what the buttons do.
I'll always remember discovering that from_unixtime(-1) would crash MySQL.
There's nothing technical about this that couldn't be exploited by any published app, so far as I can see. It doesn't look like you need physical access.
The point is that someone could slip this code into an innocuous-looking app and trick an unsuspecting user into installing it.
Looks like its actually just a plist/entitlements request in the app asking for access to do something and being allowed.

I'm suspicious if this works in App Store apps though, from memory Apple checks what permissions the app is requesting as part of the submission process.
Maybe if just one lawyer lost their license to practice law for commission of a crime people would hesitate to submit fraudulent notices.
Love the simpler middleware system. This will go a long way.
The tracking apps Google and Apple will allow to use their implementations will be developed by the individual states, federal government or contractors working at their behest. The states enjoy immunity from patent infringement and most other lawsuits thanks to the 11th amendment. Courts have in general extended protection to contractors working on behalf and at the request of the government. The federal government is not exempt from being sued for patent infringement but the courts have limited such claims to the purchasing of commercial products which violate a patent versus the government violating a patent directly. This would leave Apple and Google as really the only 2 potential targets of any patent infringement suit.

Reading through the claims in the patent it isn't clear they apply to a decentralized system such as Apple and Google have developed. Even if the claims do apply I suspect the submitting of any infringement suit would result in legislation indemnifying them from any such claims.

Ha, probably too true!

Part of this question is in response to the feeling I have that when I'm coding, I'm not hyper focused, I'm constantly sidetracked by dipping down documentation and forum rabbit holes because many things are non obvious at first glance, but then once one learns the abstraction or learns the narrative of thought, that it suddenly becomes obvious and second nature.
So following that, I was wondering if there were more resources to load up on these kind of insights to make looking up things only for the most arbitrary technical things.

Then I can build a cabin and code up a storm amiright? :)

Exactly. So now we think that sports fans paying for games they can't watch is going to cause a problem? These business people have spent decades building an empire that depends on getting people to pay for services they're not enjoying.

I would be shocked if they can't find some way to weasel their way out of it this time, too.

Interesting hypothesis. We should sill look at the evidence before stating it as fact.
The reason we carefully test things that work in a petri dish is that some of them harm people, and many others don't work in people.
I definitely think there is potential for a patreon-like system to work for more people. I just don't think it has been tried yet.

I also think the bigger issue here is the copyright law that prevents giving copies to friends. Even if a content producer only sells their work - if I buy a copy of it, I should be able to do what I like with it, short of selling it for a profit. Telling me that I can't copy a file is telling me that I can't arrange my hard disk in a particular pattern, because somebody else did it first. Copyright actually infringes on physical property rights when you consider it this way.

I have no issue with preventing people from profiting off another's work. But preventing people from using their own physical property in a certain way, because somebody else used it that way first is absurd.

Imagine being told when you buy a notepad and pen, that you can only write words on there that aren't in the same order that somebody else has already written them in. Even if you don't intend to sell a piece of paper with those words on it, writing them down in that order is illegal if they exist in that order in a copyrighted work. It is a ridiculous notion.
