Yes, that's what I'm equating it with. I think it's a fair analogy. Disabling Javascript isn't enough to 'protect your privacy', and even if it was, I haven't heard of any tangible impact that would have on anyone's life.
Implementing a VST plugin is literally the exact definition of requiring strict latency guarantees. Your comment winds through a lot of unrelated comparisons to ultimately not make any sense.

“Usually fast enough” are three words that guarantee failure in a live show/MIDI environment, which is a large use case of VST and its peers beyond production. By extension, “usually fast enough” further guarantees nobody will ever use your software. That’s noticeable right away.

The question isn’t about compsci real-time theorycrafting, it’s “here’s a buffer of samples, if you don’t give it back in a dozen milliseconds the entire show collapses.” That’s pretty clearly meant by “real time“ contextually.
Some, but not all, H1B immigrants are highly skilled. Some are fodder for body shops, some are used to avoid having to pay market rate. This behavior has been documented in great detail.

I do not believe it unreasonable to take measures to encourage hiring of citizens over importing workers when official unemployment is near 15%, and unofficially, closer to 20%. Your typical tech company is likely to be sophisticated enough to onboard skilled workers outside the US and support them working remotely, in which case, they are not impacted by this policy.
Don't know - and I suspect it's heavily dependent on location.

Also, if I may add, it's heavily influenced by "production" of programmers (it's really not that old of a job, 40 years ago not that many programmers were graduating from university, compared with 10years ago). Also in the case of my country it's heavily influenced by emigration (basically everybody older than me who could emigrate, did; I'm one of the first generations where it made _some_ sense to stay in the country if you were a programmer).

I definitely agree that programmers tend to skew young. But both in my current & previous companies I've worked with plenty "old" programmers - 32 is definitely not retirement age, as it is in baseball. But yes, I also admitted that many tend to move to management, too.
Is a gymnasium a school in Europe? It's an exercise facility in the USA.

I've gone through high school and taken CS (and a bit of discrete math and logic) in college, and never seen the ⊢ symbol before.
Of course, but at least now you have the ability to render it. "Black Ops 2" made $1B in 15 days, so some studios already have this budget, so they should be able to make use of it.

As for smaller players? Personally, I'd be interesting in procedural generation, or just modelling NURBS surfaces. And have you seen the demos of raytraced Minecraft / Doom? The highly advanced lighting already makes it look way more detailled, even with a low poly count. Even low budget games will be able to make good-looking games.
Yeah - this was clearly audible on my phone speakers, especially during more muddy / multi-note sequences.

While it may not be able to emulate a real pedal to create one’s own sound, it would be interesting / fun for amateurs when applied as a post-filter with an interface that says “make this sound like X famous incredible track” coming out of a stock guitar signal.

Oh that's right, what I meant is that probably a huge part of people traveling by plane comes from big cities where there is little to no way to avoid being squeezed with other people on a daily basis
Yes, of course, but think beyond the immediate consequences.

If that -30% collapse in consumer spending affects mostly, say, half of all businesses, that half will see its consumer revenues collapse by around twice as much, or -60%. Most of those businesses will fail and most of their employees will be out of a job, contributing to a greater collapse in consumer spending.

The economy seems to me unlikely to be able to "repurpose all those human atoms" quickly enough, as many people are and will be understandably afraid of returning to work before there's a treatment or vaccine.

The difference between HIV and Covid-19 is pretty stark though: once you have HIV, you can potentially infect others for the rest of your life (lots of medicine helps, but you have to keep taking them). You can't recover from HIV.

Covid-19, most people recover from. You (almost certainly) become immune afterwards. You can't infect others after that.

In the short term, oh heck yeah we need to follow some of these ideas. But long-term? I don't see the need for the TSA to be checking a covid-19 database in 2022.

I played Minecraft from an early alpha on (paid five bucks for it I think?).

There was the year where I set up a server and played with my flatmates and, in another country, a sibling and his close friends. A big part of my daily routine was coming home and checking out what they'd been up to. Some built elaborate structures and 'cultivated' their home, others mostly went for massive railway projects, and yet others just wandered around exploring.

After a few years of no Minecraft, what with the quarantine, a friend of a sibling set up a server again, and I've started playing again.

The game got more expensive, and there are other versions now. And there's a ton of new stuff.

But the experience has been just as much fun. The server I'm on provides a handy map of the world, and apparently I decided to set up base quite near the edges of the 'explored' (generated) world. The owner created a massive base at the spawn point, and I spent a good few days finding a place of my own, getting the resources I need, and then making a railway to the spawn. My younger brother did the same, and has also been working on a railway to spawn. He got distracted though because his gf might want to play, so he spent a bunch of time making his home safer.

What strikes me most is that feeling of immersion and comfort that so far only the best of Metroid(vania) games give me. I've become intimately familiar with my home area, which now has cows and chickens and pigs. I've been landscaping it a bit with massive trees. And under my home there's a sprawling cave system, parts of which I've explored and 'tamed', and parts of which are still full of resources that I keep getting lost in.

I 'know' much of my home region and cave system by feel, and I can tell when I start getting lost. There's a weird 'bubble' feeling when I take my minecart to the spawn point, because I am unfamiliar with all but the area directly next to the tracks, and the 'town' at spawn.

It feels a lot like the real world, but blockier and entirely virtual. It's one of those 'gaming' feelings that I often wish I could convey to others. I've had similar feelings about WoW, the culture and familiarity of de_dust2, and Animal Crossing/Stardew Valley. It's difficult to argue with 'well why don't you just go walk in a real forest'
If you're talking about an L1 (specifically L-1B), it's the same process for getting a green card as an H-1B. The downside with the L-1B is that you can't switch employers.
There's no reason why ray-tracing can't work with bent normals. That's how Blender's "smooth shading" works, and Blender uses raytracing for rendering.
Morally there is a difference but legally there isn't. In the uk, the clauses I have seen all say (some variation of) "leave our employ for any reason".

I can understand why. If you don't have to pay 130k back as long as you get fired, that's a huge incentive to get yourself fired right?

I think it's a dumb problem caused by governments failing to fund training/education. But as long as that's the case, people need to read their contracts and only sign things they understand...
Btw, as an owner of a PHEV - benefits of a hybrid rapidly approach zero on very long journeys, potentially dipping into a negative past a certain point. If you're looking for a vehicle to take on road trips then skip the hybrid. It's absolutely fabulous if you're driving around 30-60 miles between charging though.
> I dunno, it's all speculation of course, but I'd say my 'usefulness' has gone up once I didn't have to bow to my bosses' whims. It's hard to quantify that, of course, but even if I go for a quantifiable measure, I'm probably more of a benefit to society than otherwise: I've been working on various business ideas that could improve the efficiency of other businesses, my volunteering reduced the burden I put on my country's health care system (on account of needing less therapy), and possibly reduced the effect on others around me. The money I make doing 'extra' work, that I wouldn't have to do, has benefitted my younger siblings who in turn might benefit society.

Why can't you do that now, by starting your own business and being your own boss?

> Personally I don't like this kind of thinking though. I'm convinced that a decent chunk of the population is just driven to do and create in a way that is valuable to other parts of the population. Trying to reduce this to 2xUBI is somewhat futile, and honestly not a society I want to actively encourage. In fact, engaging with this thought strikes me as already a bit of a needless capitulation. How much money could we save by reducing the pointless corporate work, military spending, etc, and how does UBI relate to that? At least for a significant experiment I suspect it's not much.

We can verify this by observing people who are currently not working and are getting welfare. Somehow, very few of them do so. Some even avoid doing real work (you have to actively look for a job here if you want to receive welfare), by literally coming to interviews and saying that they're there just for the 'stamp' (proof they were there).

> I think what I'm driving at is that this 'working' and 'not working' would be redefined. So much work is busiwork. So much 'work' is very tenuously measurably good for society. And, conversely, so much 'work' is not really considered work, but crucial to a functioning society.

But stuff we deem "crucial" (by our own, individual standards), we're also willing to pay for. Water, food, entertainment, cars, gadget, clothes, vacations, travel, books, music, perfumes, etc. Is something really crucial, if noone wants to pay for that? If someone is willing to pay 100euros for a stinky alcohol-water mix (perfume), and they're not willing to pay for your work, is your work crucial?

> How much money could we save by reducing the pointless corporate work, military spending, etc, and how does UBI relate to that?

Corporations are paying their own money for that work... they'd be the one saving, not you. Military spending can still be lowered, and workers would get to keep more of their own money, why does it have to be given to non-workers? (i'm not talking bout disabled people, etc, i'm talking about able-bodied people, who are able to work, but would choose not to).
Sorry, I'd rather not, since this is my alt and don't want to dox myself.

But I think I figured why: I installed it during remote development, and it does not appear to work on the remote host. After installing it locally, it works (for local files only, though).

Is it a known issue that it does not work as a remote extension? I do all my development remotely so it would be nice if that worked.

EDIT: Just saw https://github.com/hediet/vscode-drawio/issues/8 -- disabling offline mode does indeed make it work in remote development. Awesome! :) (Would be cool if you could somehow integrate File -> Export so that it could export directly to a file on the remote host)
Wow that was incredibly easy to use (I made this as a test: https://i.imgur.com/7qAVhzn.gif)

1 feature request if possible, can you add another scrubber to the video so that I can set a beginning and end region and be able to preview my loop before creating the gif? Not sure how much of your gif making is done on the front or back-end but if it's back-end it would save you some bandwidth and CPU.

this is really good! awesome work
I thought H-1B was for when one was unable to source enough skilled people locally? If so, it should kinda be self-adjusting if more high skilled people are unemployed, right?
To clarify, "great implications" can mean "undecidability".
I think the core difference is that most places outside of academia there is a closed feedback loop. You make a crap prediction, you lose a bunch of money, you get fired. There's a self-correcting mechanism for insuring the models work correctly.

In academia you run your model, you write your paper, you publish your paper, you get your promotion. Because no decisions are made based on your model, there's no accountability. Even crappy excel models in business are more reliable than academic ones because people actually have to use the results- and that compounds over decades.

But the impact of lots of academics generating rubbish and publishing it is that we're literally polluting our knowledge pool. Which is why it should be of as important for your code to be right as it is for your experimental method to be right.
Why do you need a extension? Why can't vscode just launch the file type's editor app via standard OS integration?
Even without parameterisation, it might be interesting as a "make my guitar sound like Jimmy Page" kind of tool.

Like you said, it will most likely have limitations, but it's still one more tool in the belt, regardless.
I agree. It is a design flaw I was well aware before making a purchase and bought a screen protector for Surface. It served me well so far, I am also more careful of not holding the laptop by the edge or slapping it too much. However, I think it is good since it forces you to be careful with the expensive gadget. Yes, the repairability is very bad and yes such are the costs for being detachable.
Probably because airlines go bankrupt constantly, and are begging the government for cash handouts right now?

Whereas busses and metro systems and roads are often city-owned, and them being given taxpayer cash is just business as usual.
I understand that your perspective is vastly different from most people on this site, and I do appreciate your input. Without people like you speaking up, certain issues would never be addressed.

My only request is that you avoid emotional and logical amplification of reality. Using terms like mansplaining and whitesplaining, and using phrases like "And, also, if you had any sense, you would have been born a different color/different gender/richer...etc" exaggerates a bad situation, makes people in those identity groups defensive, and weakens your argument. Reality is unfair enough that just highlighting it will lead to change eventually.
> I believe he shows in that book it's not a very good approximation

But what does that mean? What is a good predictor of future returns and what is not? If markets are not, what is?

> the market wildly overshoots and undershoots actual returns

Well, the actual returns are only known retrospectively, but the current prices have to reflect all future returns. So, of course, current prices will always be wrong, that's not surprising at all.
Interviewers believing that people with no prepared answers are not competent? Ha! Tell me about it.
This describes how mobile communication work, since mobiles appeared in the 1990s. The phone network has to have (at least) block level accuracy on every phone, otherwise it doesn't work.

Of course it can do much better than that (building level is definitely trivial). The previous comments thread on Hacker News has more details, including some explanations on correlating movements of people to trace every individual one came across and the relations they have. Scary stuff.

GPS is more accurate of course (10 meters or less), but it requires the phone to run a spyware application and drains the battery, unlike simply having a phone that's on.

You don’t think “days to weeks in quarantine” will put people off?
Same. You can always spend those transistors/cycles/watts on something else that is more compelling (more frames, better AA or higher rennder resolution). For most games doing 4K/120 without raytracing would probably be a better experience than 4K/60 with raytracing.
Yes, people who don't have the ability to see won't care about flickering on the screen and the better user experience that a single page app affords to users who can see. Not even sure why you're making that point other than to try and imply that people who write single page apps automatically don't care about blind people, which is self-righteous and rude.

We have a single page app and we regularly run it through screen readers to see what the experience is like. Since an SPA is not some magical entity and it does produce a real DOM tree, we can achieve a great degree of accessibility (not perfect) by simply focusing on the markup that's produced. That doesn't help with things like loading screens, but again, since we actually check applications on screen readers, the experience for pages that take a long time to render is not much better with pure HTML either.

I read the link you posted and it's a good resource. The #1 takeaway I got from it is:

> Make sure that client-side view changes are known to screen reader users by announcing the change in page title, using ARIA live regions and/or focus management.

That's a good idea and one we'll incorporate into our application.

Some other comments in the article are not helpful, such as:

> Consider whether a single-page app is really necessary, and if you even need to use a JavaScript framework at all.

This is a moot point. Using a JavaScript framework to create an application is not only acceptable, but extremely popular. So instead of trying to politically smash the idea of building an application using JavaScript, we should be focusing on how to improve accessibility in that landscape. We can and should figure things out.

> As much as possible, encourage people to post anything of interest to the public channels. Notice that I’m saying public channels, and not private messages, because we don’t ping anyone unless it’s necessary. We just want to make the information available.

This. Every time you send a private message is Slack or send an email to just one other person, it's like taking a $100 bill and lighting it on fire.

Just because only one other person needs that information right now doesn't mean that in a couple years some new hire won't spend six months just staring at their monitor and not writing code because they can't figure out wtf is going on.
I've done more than a handful of interviews as an engineering manager trying to fill team positions. I can tell you the question is not looking to find out what you've done so much as to find out who you are.

When I'm trying to fill a req I will usually get hundreds or thousands of applications, which get winnowed down to a dozen or so by the HR department, or system, or something. All of those applications have resumes that looks reasonable, so I have to whittle the stack down further to 3 or 4 prime candidates. Usually, on paper, any one of those applications look like they could perform the tasks assigned.

What I need to find out in the interview is if the applicant would fit the team, not if they could perform the task. The way you answer, they way you interact, the way you look up or look down when you're trying to recall how you solved a particular problem (phone interviews are crap, we've had good video conferencing for a decade or more), these are things I base my judgement on. These are mostly intangibles and if you've gotten as far as an interview with the hiring manager but fail to get an offer, don't assume you're not good enough. The manager might know the team are a nursery of primadonna asshats that manage to produce above average but some normie not as far up the spectrum would just quit in a week if they were thrown into that pen. It's happened.

Believe me, if you put a github account on your CV I've checked it. Also, if you haven't added one, you CV goes to the bottom of the pile. Now, tell me about what you've done.

I disagree.

Either the OP shared because they found a useful tool and wanted others to be able to know too, in which case sharing another related tool is in the spirit of what OP intended.

Or, OP wanted to use HN as a sales platform to pitch their work. In this case, sorry pal but HN is not your personal marketing megaphone. You want to put something out into the public here, you should expect it to be scrutinized and compared against alternatives. IMO, HN as a platform should put readers first, not authors.

Edit: Just want to add that in this particular case, I think both the draw.io and graph viz plugins are awesome. Love to see these kinds of tools.

Depends on the bonds. Bonds issued by the government (local/municipal/etc.) are often not taxed as an incentive to get you to lend money to the government.
Go and Rust are both older than react. And I 100% agree that backend people overengineer with stuff like kubernetes. I think that's less about the new and shiny and more an obsession with scalability - even though the site could easily be hosted on a single Linux box.
If that's Putin's goal I'm pretty sure he can sit back and watch at this point. We've gone from immigration check points being no where near the border to now states and communities enacting their own travel bans and "papers please" check points. Democracy is already suspended in some areas because people protesting this absurdly risk adverse overreaction are being arrested for violation of the rules they are protesting.

He doesn't have to do anything but watch at this point, because most people seem to be welcoming these changes.

How many states have postponed primaries? The real question is will they be postponed indefinitely? With the fear mongering, the lack of likely hood of a vaccine being produced and distributed in the near term means it's very likely. What does that mean for the presidential election, no one knows at this point but I'm guessing plans are being made. Most likely that the president can't remain in power but we can't hold and election so it falls in to the line of succession.

Putin has to do nothing at this point.
