> false sense that the hospitals were in any danger of being overloaded

They were overloaded in Wuhan, Milan, Madrid and Brussels, and came within a hair of capacity in Paris and New York. What "false sense" are you talking about, exactly? There was real risk. Are you saying that the media reported overloads that didn't exist?

Your argument seems a bit vague to me. You could just as easily argue, with perfectly symmetric evidence, that it's good that "the media" "gave a false sense" of hospital capacity, because it prevented an actual overload of the system. Why is your version better, except that in yours you get to have a more personally pleasing enemy?

Pretty much all criticism of "the media" is like this.
If you're not using rails to create an API server, and you've only got a single database, then I'm not sure there's any value in GraphQL.

My (limited) understanding is that GraphQL is great for writing database agnostic queries, and writing queries that will be run from an untrusted source, like a client.

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) allows Windows users to install a Linux distro (several downloadable from the Windows Store) and WSL 2 (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl2-index) recently arrived. There's mad bit of satisfaction in being able to do this and it's useful. I was able to work on a Python/Linux stack project and other developers on the team were using WSL too. You can even open a WSL terminal in VS Code.

I feel like my youthful stupidity unlocked a lot of potential - I managed to make a lot of impressive fragile hacks which only needed to work once, and worked once. These days if I tried to create an animation like the one above, I’d probably get a couple of thousand lines into writing a well-tested reusable framework, and get bored before seeing any results...
the only route of discovery for twitch is r/livestreamfails

unless twitch gives users incentive to go down the streamer list twitch as a growth platform is doomed. streaming is niche, gaming is even more niche. a platform thats solely for streaming gamers is isolated, thats why they've been trying to push just chatting and other endeavors outside of gaming but inevitably the majority of the userbase is made of gamers (in the slur sense) and make it difficult for non-gamers to become invested.

Youtube and Facebook streaming dont have these issues bc theyre built on platforms meant for everyone
How exactly are you going to hash my fingerprint if it's my first visit to the site and I'm using someone else's link? You wouldn't know til my second visit if I wasn't running something to change the value anyway, and if I am running interference on the request, you're kinda boned. For that matter, what keeps me from just hijacking someone else's token in it's entirety?

Also, how does a fingerprint, (something already capable of being deanonymized), being put through a trapdoor function (some think specifically used universally for purposes of authentication), generally arrive at making a mechanism that isn't being hijacked for tracking purposes? That's where you end up running into the fundamental problem of web traffic analysis.

As soon as you have enough information to reasonably assure you you're talking to the same person, someone else will come up out of nowhere to beg you to share it with them. You can make tons of money sharing this info, but by and large people object to you being loose-lipped about their business with strangers.

This is what makes me shake my head in wonder at the direction the Web went...

We already knew there was going to be an issue. We knew, because advertising/marketing/big data like info sharing did not exist; and where it did, it was generally in the customer's face, and they had something to gain, and not much to lose, and big, ponderous and unwieldy to do.

By letting advertising drive the direction the Web developed, we've turned the entire apparatus into the most effective surveillance device known to man.

You didn't have police looking up people's catalog or financial records before. You did have landlines being tapped on a case to case basis, but that's a big difference compared to Google's capacity to provide LE with suspect lists via geofenced warrants.

It saddens me sometimes we never got to see a Web without "user" abstractions. In the beginning it may have been close, but since the late nineties it's been far too close to a liability in terms of abusability by well positioned players for me to feel super happy about it.

And yet I've been developing stuff for it for 10+ years without pulling Stallman levels of sticking to my ideals... Hooray for being part of the problem.

This is not a winner-take-all situation. Physical controls are better for some things, touch screens are better for others. Imagine a map without pinch to zoom, yuck. ATMs are an entirely different case. A lot of ATMs I use have _terrible_ touch screens.

What's the value add of touch typing? I tried it for a bit, but it seemed like a waste. I can consistently do ~90-100 WPM on https://www.livechat.com/typing-speed-test/#/ with very few mistakes just typing with 3 fingers on my left hand and 2 on my right. Feels like input speed is one of the least important parts of coding.

Under the document-like school of thought, less "engineers" would need to be employed. Also, less computing resources would be required on both the client side. Money, not to mention time, could be saved.

Perhaps application-like school of thought probably allows for more user manipulation. metrics and tracking.

We might be on the same page here, then. I agree it would be dumb to just immediately reopen all businesses with no thought about how to mitigate risks or delay the least safe ones.

Can someone tell me why HN is so obsessed with Vitamin D? I see a Vitamin D related article on the front page every few months. Also, https://hn.algolia.com/?q=vitamin+d shows a lot of articles about Vitamin D with a lot of upvotes.

Note: I supplement with Vitamin D daily, so no hate at all, just curious.
I think a fallacy of half measures are in play here. In that the shorter term needed for extreme measures will cost less in the long run. Consider this fall China, Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand will have been virus free for six months while the US and Sweden continues to fester.

The economic damage isn't proportional to the extremity of the measures, but of that multiplied by length of time they are imposed.
With the positive comments here, perhaps the HN mods wouldn't mind if you posted an update yourself once the AWS migration is completed? I know there's rules around that, but I think they are okay with the occasional self-promotion, especially for great, free tools.
Well, for me it’s pretty easy. I haVe several underlying conditions that mean it would likely be quite bad for me.

That is not how it works at all. America has both public funded (federal Medicare, state-level benefits, etc) and private insurance (either personal or group policies through your employer).

There are plenty of choices for continued care and coverage, as long as you plan for it. That's the major difference. It requires you to actively plan for your retirement and old age. Other countries just do that for you in exchange for a heavy tax.
You sacrifice people for people, not people for economy. Quality of life takes a huge hit during lockdowns, not being able to see friends and family matters a lot. Most of the world decided that grandma living another month is worth more than the entire childhood of a kid. Sweden decided that it wasn't, so it didn't shut down schools. Simple as that.

Are you sure you are a "healthy individual", if you've already diagnosed a health problem that vitamin D can treat?

He really isn't pioneering much though. He talks about graph automata like he invented them, or that he was the first to see that simple rules could generate very complex behavior.

But he wasn't.

I am not saying he hasn't done anything interesting, but it is actually hard to tell exactly where any original work begins, even for someone somewhat familiar with the area of computing related to graph transforms (me), because in his writing he implies he did so much more than he did. So it isn't clear where his contribution line starts.

It rubs me so wrong I can't read anything he writes anymore.

This may be one aspect of the negative reaction of some physicists too.
Said as respectfully as I can, it seems like there's a lot of post-hoc justification from the supplement crowd.

I.e. 'Well, no effect was observed because Y wasn't done simultaneously.'

Which isn't to say vitamins aren't under-studied and -prioritized.

But is to say, it feels unscientific to always quibble over experiment design after the results show no effect.

Why do these n-dimension demos always have the little 2d man seeing the world as if he could fly away from his 2d plane and see it from above?

The ball crossing the plane would be just a line stretching and shrinking. If he lived in a 2d world, what he could actually see would be /pretty/ limited.
I developed my own gmail app script to accommodate my personal workflow, where all tasks and task-related information, including Gmail inbox, are organized and scheduled in the same hierarchy.

Here is why I think it makes me extremely efficient

1. I can group and nest together Emails, to-do’s, files and links that are related to the same goal, my lists are now much shorter and manageable and I can focus on my goals instead switching between gmail, todo’s etc..

2. Since my gmail Inbox is fully integrated with my to-do list, I don't need to manually and tediously maintain and synchronize them.

3. Scheduling a goal with sub-emails and tasks hide them and bring them back when I need them.This further reduces my clutter and makes sure I will not forget anything.

4. I can organize my plans and thoughts as I organize and drag inbox Emails, To-Do’s and Ideas into their related tasks.

5. Since every email has a natural place in my task hierarchy, I can quickly empty my Gmail Inbox and deal with email when dealing with their related tasks.

What made it stick for me was processing my gmail inbox (which I must do), inside my todo list, which quickly created a habit.

BTW I tried to market the solution and gave up, either most people think different or I am just a bad marketer.

"The one thing that's a bit far out is the claim that consciousness could, in theory, interact with matter directly"

I think that claim like this alone, is not so far stretched, when you assume consciousness comes from brain activity, ~ electricity - and with classical physics, magnetic/electric fields or even quantum physics, everything is connected and interacts - consciousness do influences matter. So when you have a different thought, a different magnetic field is the result, etc. that does influence matter directly.

The far stretch claim is, that conscious can have a directed, focused effect and not just be random.

Anyway, the idea that mind can influence matter directly(magic thinking), is a very old one and I think the majority of the world population is still holding to it. Allmost every religious person does (in a different way). And in nonreligious, educated, western people I have seen it quite a lot, too. Most are not really conscious about it, though.

In industries where people tend to treat each other sanely, I would agree. I believe that most kitchens are managed by assholes who chew out their cooks over minor mistakes, so this is a particular case where I don't think I have a choice about how feedback is given. I can be nice to the server, but the only way I can be nice to the cooks is to not make my issue known. If the restaurant industry wants my feedback, the restaurant industry needs to fix this horrible work culture problem. If they could stop sexually assaulting their staff on a regular basis that would be cool, too.

Consider a very simple city model which requires 10,000 cars to meet demand during rush hour (3 morning hours, 3 evening hours) and 4,000 cars to meet demand the rest of the time.

A self-driving model requires the up-front purchase of 10,000 cars, 6,000 of which sit idle 18 hours per day, earning nothing. Meanwhile Uber and Lyft have zero up-front costs, and only pay drivers when the company itself is earning revenue (and presumably, a marginal profit).
