I think it boils down to the fact that in Signal the server can't see which conversation messages belong to - and if sealed sender (aka secret sender) is enabled, the server can't see who they're from. (As far as I know, the server still tracks the phone number of accounts and thus the recipients though - looking at https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server/blob/2b987e6e9301...)

Unsure how this relates to contact lists though (other than that secret sender is apparently only available for messages from people in your contact list?)

Matrix on the other hand isn't a message-passing system like Signal (or IRC or XMPP or SMTP) - instead it's a way of securely storing your conversations (more like NNTP or IMAP). This means that when you log into a new Matrix client you can get at your conversation history, and it means that even if you lose all your clients you don't lose your history.

The compromise is that Matrix ends up storing the metadata of who spoke to when in the conversation history which is stored on the server.

However, we're working on mitigating this with P2P Matrix (where you run the server clientside, unless you explicitly want to pin that conversation to a serverside server), as per https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/dip_p2p_matrix/ - and it even works :)
That’s a very cynical comment. I recommend you examine the research and open source contributions Google has made to ML that have nothing to do with ads.
This is interesting and I wonder if we could use it on our most vulnerable until a vaccine is ready (part of focusing on cutting the mortality rate further):

"Sorrento Therapeutics and Mount Sinai Health System in New York City have joined forces to develop an antibody cocktail they hope will shield against Covid-19 infection for up to two months. The treatment, called COVI-SHIELD, is designed to be administered as often as necessary, with each dose expected to provide antiviral protection for health care and other essential workers."

> As to gender balance in professions: are there initiatives to get more ... women into plumbing or carpentry?

Yes, there are. A lot of public construction projects have goals for minorities and women as a percentage of the labor on the job site. Firms owned by women, minorities, and service-disabled veterans are given priority in the bidding process through different mechanisms. Most of the trade unions have programs to recruit women into the trades.
Influenza B. It’s been spreading for decades. That being said we mostly have a partial immunity to it.

I had influenza B in early January and had pneumonia. 105 fever for a week, difficult to breath, the whole thing.

During that time I actually looked up and found out about COVID-19. I tested positive for influenza B, but the information actually let my family prepare by stocking up in January. Lucky in a sense.
I think it's safe to say that most people won't need to be convinced.

I have a sense part of that is the "Oh Dearism" - we just watch sad news each day and it makes us think all that can be done is say "oh dear" - reflected in this short video by Adam Curtis - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8moePxHpvok (also featuring Charlie Brooker, creator of Black Mirror)

In general, especially in the western US as I'm sure you know, it's hard to rely on maps to tell you how drive-able very secondary roads are. They can range from being pretty decent for even just a passenger car and mostly just normal driving skills to you'd better have a Jeep and know how to drive it to "Nah. This isn't really a road." With the weather/season/when was the last flash flood entering into the equation as well.

There are some very sad stories related to people assuming that a road on a map is actually a road in the way people living around cities generally think of the term.
I would echo the recommendation, but add that you really also need a good GPU. All the steps are highly parallelisable and take significantly longer on a CPU only.

Agisoft has a relatively simple interface, but there's a lot of complexity underneath if you need to tweak things.

That's not anyhow different from typical GDI, CoreGraphics, GTK/Cairo way of doing rendering.

Windows, MacOS and GTK maintain internal pixmap buffer for a window.

And when needed you call InvlidateRect(wnd,rc) and receive WM_PAINT with cumulative rect to update.

Personally, I would create an abstraction that wraps couple of functions of GDI, CoreGraphics and Cairo and use it instead manual pixmap rendering. Will be faster and more flexible. All that UI can be rendered by just 2..3 functions FillRect, DrawText, MeasureText.
That presentation is pretty old - must be over a decade since the example uses G80. Nvidia has shipped 5 or 6 new architectures since then.

Kepler introduced a 'shuffle' intrinsic to accelerate the kind of 'horizontal' reductions discussed in the article, see http://on-demand.gputechconf.com/gtc/2013/presentations/S317....
Don't you have the concept of legal and illegal strikes? In most European countries striking is alive and well, but not for willy-nilly reasons. There exist a specific framework for strikes.

To me testimonials are mostly useful for seeing if a SaaS product has a number of actual decently sized paying customers. Or in other words, for understanding the chance of the product ceasing to exist in 6 months due to the company running out of funding or product-market fit.
They may not be wrong, they may just be weighing the variables differently than you are. The right technical decision isn’t always the right decision for the business.

If they are truly wrong, good management will be receptive to reasoned feedback. Bad management won’t even listen, in which case it may be time to find a new team.

But if management listens to your point and decides to do something different, that’s their responsibility and why they get paid more. If you can live with their mistake and make the most of it, great. If not better look for a different team.
> It would be good to hear plausible scenarios of how people still catch it despite of masks and social distancing.

One of the issues is that not everyone is wearing masks or properly social distancing. If you have any opportunity to go out and safely observe from a distance any groups, you'll notice a sizable fraction not wearing masks and many not properly distancing themselves.

All it takes is some percentage of those who are not mask wearing or distancing also being asymptomatic spreaders to keep the spread going.
Because it has complete copies of Lua 5.2 (src/lib/lua52), stb truetype (src/lib/stb), and SDL2 (winlib/SDL2-2.0.10) checked in.

Excluding those, it's 1369 lines of C (.c or .h), and 5389 lines of Lua (.lua), and 112 lines of other files (license, readme, build scripts...); or 78.4% Lua, 19.9% C, and 1.6% other. I didn't count fonts or images (.ttf, .ico, or .inl).
All of this is true if you write to be read.

I used to write a lot when I was younger, but this was always painful. My friend and family would go "meh" when reading what I wrote (they're not avid readers themselves), other writers would "love it", then want to change everything, and I started to second guess everything I was writing, to the point I didn't love it anymore and procrastinated more and more until I had to admit to myself I just stopped writing.

And then, a few years ago, I started playing dungeons and dragons, in play by post games. It was fun, and I did enjoy writing again, even if it was casual writing.

Then it hit me : why not play solo and go a bit further? I started playing alone, doing both the game master and the players, all written (while still continuing other games with people, of course). And this was _incredibly_ fun. It was the same feeling that I had when I started writing younger, but with no obstacles anymore. Plus, because of the dice rolls, even I was not sure what would happen next. I take weeks to create characters with detailed personalities and backstory, I drop them in the story, and I discover them, because it's only when they face a given situation or talk with a given character that it becomes obvious how they will react.

I would recommend that to anyone who loves writing. There's nobody to tell you it's too short, or it's too long, or this section is not detailed enough, or this one is boringly full of details. If you write only for yourself, you can focus on the best things in writing : imagination, and having fun.
The content of this 'news article' is an interview with a virologist with years of experience and a strong reputation among his peers. His understanding of the seriousness and his first-hand experience seem to be in pretty strong opposition to your position. How is that fear mongering by 'the news'? I don't disagree that the general news media has been as sensational as they can be (that's worked for them with all the other 'news' ) but it seems to be really dangerous to use that to downplay the actual seriousness of this pandemic.

>- Saving the start and end position of a string that represents a date with 16 bytes is silly.

I am not saving the start and end positions of a string that represents a data; I am saving start and end position of a line, since I need to split the loaded file into lines. This requires extra memory. I tried sorting without caching the end position of the line (and always reading from start till \n), but it was slower to sort this way.
Then this could not be the reason they won—initially it was not the “ubiquity of gmail” as it was just new to the market and could not be synonymous with email. They won by providing a good service for free with an ever-increasing capacity and iterating over features. Note that I’m not suggesting it was perfect or the best solution; plenty of questionable decisions made along the way (the way inbox was handled comes to mind)
The first time I was in Afghanistan the personal internet was available at dial up speeds from shared access over a civilian satellite dish. Think 56kbps speeds with high packet loss and occasional service interruption. I was there for a year so you just learn to make due. To complicate matters I was frequently traveling and when traveling I had no personal internet, so I would have to plan wisely and download everything I needed before going on my next work adventure.

> Sometimes I have to download hundred of Megabytes of dependencies

I refuse to do that even now. I make two exceptions:

1) ESLint is a really nice package, but has a sickening number of dependencies. I don't update ESLint very often and because I use it enough I just use it anyways. I always install it globally instead of including it in my projects because of its dependency bloat.

2) At work the team might make a horrible decision and force usage of AngularJS, or something equally stupid. If they want to waste my time with that stupidity then so be it. I get paid to sit there all the same.

My various trips to Afghanistan have largely shaped how I program. Back in that day I thought jQuery at about 65k was horribly excessive, and now you could require 300mb of packages to write a page of HTML. I won't do it even though I have gigabit internet at the house.
I'm finding it a little hard to read your intent here. But that is secondary anyhow, because in the game of internet comments, what you did comes across as menacing and a move in the online callout/shaming direction. We're trying to avoid that culture on HN, so please don't do it again.
> A lot of people in the investor class right now are upset their stocks are falling

I'm not sure this is entirely true - stocks are worth more than they were last June, way before this crisis started and have trended up over the past month. Maybe this will still be true in 6 months or a year, maybe not - its far too early to say. If anything, it seems the "investor class" thinks there are bargains to be had right now.
Ask HN: Adobe App Download Numbers?

The more I've aged the more I've realized this. Most video games are horribly written and unbelievably cheesy without trying to be. The beauty of a game like Doom is that it knows it- it doesn't try to be anything profound.
But by setting it on a shipwreck, the implied explanation for the cruelty is "teenagers are innately evil", rather than "the social arrangement we create with high school is evil" or "those who don't work hard at social skills will come to regret it".

People in the '60s believed a lot of false blank-slate claims about regular people being capable of evil behavior in the right situations, from Stanley Milgram to Kitty Genovese to Arendt's "banality of evil". None of those claims were true, and "Lord of the Flies" doesn't describe normal human social behavior either.

Intro to BabylonJS Particle Effects Editor
Having known people like this, I think it moves beyond instinct. They definitely have a more finely-tuned inborn sense of themselves and other people, for sure. But they also have developed a calculated and astute sense for what part of themselves to present to people provoke a particular emotional or behavioral response, and also the courage to present those parts (in Prince's case, occasionally quite literally and physically) when need be.
A very timely comment for me. I’ve been experiencing some throat/coughing issues for a couple months now. Doctor doesn’t think it was covid, but who knows. I did, however, stop taking a nasal steroid I had been using for a few years right around the same time the symptoms started. Maybe I’ll start using it again and see what happens. Thanks.
It's too bad there isn't a good way to crowd-source this data and get it back upstream to official maps.

I took a drive on what started as a very nice, scenic forest service road in Colorado and ended up in the back of an active cinder mine. We got through the mine ok, but never would have been able to make it back up the mountain the way we came down. I spent the whole time worrying we were going to get stuck behind a locked fence until the workers came back Monday morning.

I think he's referring to the feedback loop that hoarding causes.

If you're confident you'll be able to buy the good in the future, you'll buy less now. If a hoarder clears out the supermarket, that means that everyone that shops at that supermarket and doesn't get what they want is more liable to make a larger purchase when do find it at another store. This chain reaction leads to shortages. It's impossible to prove the direct amount of causation (and of course organic demand spiked), but the relationship is clearly there.

The article describes the card sharks using disguises, apparently to get around being banned from a casino. Wouldn't that be trespassing, if they've been told not to enter the casino again?
The videos should show before/after for a longer time and without the fancy transition (which makes it harder to see the difference.)

What sort of salary range dictates that kind of interview process? It seems crazy to me - it isn't the CIA.
Yeah, this is quite interesting indeed. However, currently I require a powerful machine in my day to day work. I considered renting a Hetzner machine as they are reasonably priced specs compared to AWS.
Elon’s actions are very good example why people go into those professions. He’s doing very high quality finance engineering at his companies and is constantly causing legal troubles. That ensures big demand for those professions.

> Fear is the right response to pneumonia

Yes, but not so much fear that you ride out your stroke or heart attack at home because you think venturing out of your house and into the ER is wading into certain death via pneumonia.

That is the level of fear that the media has induced in some people and it's even more dangerous (at the individual level) than too little fear.
Adobe Character Animator is not bad, has skeletal rigging and tracks mouth but doesn't do deformations like this one
I agree with you, and I have in mind a pretty decent solution worth exploring if I can generate the capital to throw at it. It involves separating the ad experience from the videos being consumed. You can still work out targeted deals, but the gist is that the advertiser generally has no control over which videos are seen before and after their ads and have no incentive to find out.

That's not crucial at all, if he was a Russian asset he would have been behaving the same way - criticising Russia in ways that resonate with his audience to establish credibility but not in ways that actually pose any threat or embarrassment to Russia. But on the balance of publicly available evidence it seems far more likely he is stuck there due to lack of choice.
This is fairly easy to wire up on Linux using v4l2loopback and pyfakewebcam.

I am currently using a little setup that uses OpenCV to acquire frames from the real camera, TensorFlow/BodyPix to compute an alpha mask for the foreground (me) and then OpenCV again to transform and composite myself behind news desks and into car infotainment screens and the like, eventually writing it to a virtual webcam I can use from Zoom (over its own virt bg feature this adds the layering and perspective transforms), Jitsi, Teams, etc.

The above looks like another fun thing to add. Time to go full Who Framed Roger Rabbit? ...
The Iliad was the crowning achievement of a literary society with hundreds of years of tradition. Doom was a simple and early innovator. At best, it will be remembered in the way that some fairy tales are: the beginning of a trope, or right of passage. Even that I'm doubtful of. I suspect it will be remembered like checkers and and the game of Ur: historical curiosities of early games. But not a cultural achievement. I'm not sure what it says about us that we think Doom has the same level of literary merit as the Iliad. It's a fun game, but it has neither the depth of chess or go, nor the narrative achievement of even a sitcom or cheap dimestore novel.
I mean, yes, Javascript isn't x86 assembly code, but neither is Lua. Sure, Javascript was designed to be embedded within other applications, but so was Lua. And neither _has_ to be. People seem to be using "native" to mean "lightweight" or "performant," but if that's what they mean, they should just use those words.
At my local grocery store, they carefully arrange hard cheeses like Parmesan so that the price tag is hidden from view. If you comparison shop, that means you'll be touching several packets before making your final selection. And when you bring it home, it's coming along with the fingerprints of perhaps a half-dozen other customers. If it's shrink-wrapped plastic, you can wash it (do you?) -- if it's wrapped in clingfilm, you can't wash it without harming the cheese, so you need to somehow remove it from its packaging without carrying over the contamination. That's just a piece of cheese.

One of the difficulties in disease modeling is how very many transmission vectors that aren't accounted for.

We know for sure that if we force Americans to stay at home, tens of thousands will kill themselves or be the victims of domestic violence as a result. An untold number of people will go hungry or become homeless. These are certainties. If you want to make a real cost benefit analysis (as opposed to a fear-motivated choice to stay inside), then provide some good data about the long term effects of covid19. Sorry, but saying "it could have terrible effects 5 years after you get infected" isn't good enough. Try again.
With an oil collapse I would think this is a great time to move into Texas. I will be as proud to buy a Tesla from there as I am to buy one from Fremont. Perhaps he will relocate his employees, too, who can enjoy a lower COL.
