Vaccine or extermination.

But extermination means no international travel, and a stronger lockdown. Which looks like it worked for NZ, but won't for the US.
Winfsp maybe? It has a fuse compatibly layer (see fuse.h in the repo).

I remember watching a interview where the curse words were bleat out on purpose. At the start the person was clear and easy to understand, but as the interview continued the person got angrier and angrier, and started to swear more. As time continue he was swearing more and more.

At the end of the interview the teacher said "Clearly he was angry, what was he angry about?". No-one could answer, swear words carry some emotions but they have NO useful information beyond that. The more person swears, the less they are communicating.
This is understandable, since binaries in WSL run directly on Windows, with no virtualization/emulation, except for Linux syscalls.

With WSL2, Linux runs in a VM, and behaves exactly as a Linux box, so Docker/systemd/FUSE run as expected.
> As you can see, the documented behavior and the absence of undefined behavior due to signed overflows do make life easier.

Not having undefined behavior does make life easier, but having it be defined and then giving the example which benefits from the way that Rust chooses to define it is not really fair.

> With less effort, Rust generates less assembly code. And you don't need to give any clues to the compiler by using noexcept, rvalue references and std::move. When you compare languages, you should use adequate benchmarks.

Actually, the issue is that C++ just can't match Rust's semantics here. By default it will allow for exceptions, by default it will copy; if you watch the talk rvalue references cause the double indirection and fixing this would require some changes in the language to accommodate the use case.
Yep. We were svn using “beanstalk” when I joined our company and pushed for a git migration. But we already had Jenkins running with tons of stuff set up on cloud bees. Then they kicked us off for some reason (forgot why) so it started our own migration to AWS
> we learned that covid may cause permament damages on patients

It stands to reason that a disease that outright kills 0.1-1% of the people infected also gets a fraction of people near death, which means it damages them hard enough that they almost die. This effect is entirely consistent with other diseases, for example non-covid19 pneumonia.

As of now we have not learned:

* What fraction of people develop long term effects.

* By age group.

* How do these effects compare with long term effects of other diseases, like influenza or influenza-triggered pneumonia.

* Do these effects heal over a period of time, say a few months?
Same. After a long period of my life where I was driven by unquestionned motives.. I started to realize that I stopped feeling normally happy for 20 years.

It was either an unhealthy desire(fear?) for excellency, or social anxiety, or maybe a fantasy that going deeper would lead to a better life but it's not.

I now do simple things, and progress slowly on stuff I like. If it's not a simple cool feeling inside I drop it.
I mean, I don't see any reason why explosion turbines can't work with other gases than hydrogen.

P&G mostly sells things that are essential, so these are not the things typically cut very much even when people are living on 60% of their incomes.

P&G did not take a large hit in 2008 either. P&G stock did though.

I am fortunate to be employed too, but I work in a closed space with little contact with others. Unless you work in a meatpacking plant, hospital, factory, or front-facing office, you may be taking on less risk than Tesla workers.

In defense, Tesla did send an e-mail to the workers saying they could stay home if they are at risk, which is hats off to them. Is it legally defensible to use this if they get fired? I hope so.

Man, I really liked Elon, until he started downplaying and dismissing the risk of COVID. It just didn't come from solid scientific reasoning in my view. Taken out of context, this lawsuit would have had me in full support of Tesla. But I now really have to question his motives behind employing people at Tesla.
You think Volkswagen makes cars for the poor? Show me a poor person who can buy a new car and I will show you someone who is borrowing.
> France, Germany, Denmark, Britain and others have decided to take over the payrolls of struggling companies

Didn't the US largely do this too, via a forgivable loan to companies?
I don't agree with you. It does not mean anything if the project has lots of stars and it's not used or useful. gearbox is a trial to achieve better performance than current frameworks.
If like me you have a browser opened at all time, on Linux you could consider using the 1Password browser extension even needing a password not web-related.

I use 1Password for Firefox on Linux and it works flawlessly.
Housemates. The New Red Team?
It's both. With bad language design you won't get fast code (at least without going through insane loops).

But even with good language design the compiler need to use them, which needs time to be implemented etc.

So in practice it's often more a mixture between how easy/hard the language makes optimizations and how much work (with given expertise) was put into the compiler optimizations.

Through there are insane optimization which need to high amount of knowledge about the code and as such which you will have a really had time to ever realize with Asm,C or similar. But most time they aren't worth it as getting them right is hard and the time is often better spend with adding more straight forward optimizations, maintaining the compiler code etc.
Another factor to consider...there are other nations that are actively working to undermine the strength of the dollar as the global reserve currency. If they can sufficiently erode trust in the US financial machine, much bigger problems arise.
I'll drastically oversimplify here, but in a collider, the particles being collided are highly regimented. First, you have a very specific type of particle you want to move around, like a proton (and you had best hope you picked a charged particle so you and move it easily with an EM field). Second, you have a very specific direction for that particle so you can smash it against something else. Third, the energy the particle is at at the time of smashing is well-known and very high. It's all very specific.

Annihilation is too uncontrolled to help, often in terms of direction.

Accelerators are all about trying to add just a tiny bit more velocity to something already moving at 99.99% of the speed of light, in the exact direction that particle is already going in. So it is both precision and vanishing results.

It's a tricky situation.
australian dollars have been shedding value for years
Embedded sounds like a great domain for Rust that it sadly often cannot really be used in.
Maybe there's some extension to fix this now, but I always hated how GNOME's workspaces were just small boxes on the opposite side of the overview button/hot corner. And even more so that they were a row, not a grid. KDE's exposé-like grid that separates all the windows on all the workspaces is so much more useful to me (not sure if that's enabled by default though).
The language used in this article is written with a soft authoritarian tone.

It’s a nice gesture of Bloomberg to put shills for his wet dreams in the opinion section, but the advocacy of surveillance state by the big media is becoming obvious.

I can’t speak for HN or the mods, but I do wonder if there are subjects that are not worth discussing because of how undemocratic and liberty infringing they are.

Case in point, anything that uses the language and examples like this “opinion” piece to hem around a “means justify the ends” rhetoric.

They (media, governments, billionaires) will use any and all means to gain more control, power, and minimize potential leakers, whistleblowers, usurpers and anyone who disagrees with their rule.
They both depend on the same compiler backend, so it's really the language here.
If Hawking radiation exists, as seems likely, any primordial black hole of mass less than about 10^11 kg would have already evaporated into nothingness at present time. Indeed a Planck mass black hole would evaporated in Planck timescales, on the order of 10^-44 seconds.
Eric Schmidt: Bridging the gap between the military and Silicon Valley (2017)
The documentation is beautiful but is far from complete, API's lack examples and if you do a search there is confusion about which module the function refers to. I find Clojure and Common Lisp documentation quite complete for a lisp. I also find Ruby docs have tons of example code in its docs. Though I agree none is as beautiful as racket docs.
Can you sell me on it? Never heard of it.
Not as hard as tedious. Here is a trivial example: your application generates a message that informs the user about the number of file copied. Most developers generate the message templated as this:

{N} file(s) copied.

Which kinda works, but not so user friendly because "0 file(s) copied" sounds non-human. It should be "No files copied". What a more UX-focused developer would it is write something like:

match N with
| 0 -> "No files copied"
| 1 -> "1 file copied"
| _ -> "{N} files copied"

The latter is not very hard. It's just tedious work that many people don't do.
Have you tried AquaSnap or bug.n? There's also the possibility to run i3 on Windows these days.
Interestingly, none of the ethnic and religious slurs listed in Wikipedia are censored.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_slurs

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_religious_slurs

Which is interesting because while few people are really offended by words like "shit" and "fuck", "nigger" is often treated much more seriously.

Maybe that's the idea, that font is clearly intended as a joke and a tech demo, and racial slurs are just too f⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ serious.

EDIT:

And none of the bad words related to sexual orientation and disability are censored either, unless they overlap with clbuttic swearwords.
Why bother with a rainy-day fund? If your company has a long-term viable business you can borrow money to survive a temporary crisis. If your company's business model is permanently ruined then you are better off calling it quits and shutting the company down than setting your cash reserves on fire trying to rescue a dead company.

During a credit crisis a viable business might have trouble raising money, but with the Fed indicating that they are willing to throw money out of the proverbial helicopters, maybe people don't consider that a real concern any more.
The Death of Retail Is Overrated
Fun fact. iCloud backup "conveniently" records all phone history (calls, text messages). And maybe the authorities cannot get into your phone (debatable) but Apple always gives them your backups (warrant+gag order). And that includes ALL call logs and ALL your SMS and iMessages.
For small investors, I suggest US Treasury I-bonds: inflation protected, liquid after one year.

This of course is, after paying off all high-rate debt, and maxing out 401k contributions.
What KDE can compete with I don't know, but I do know its the only DE I can stand and actually enjoy using. And I compare it not only with Gnome, but Windows and MacOS too. Highly recommend you take a look if you don't know it (recently).

Any model describing the median American as “lower class” is being unreasonable. Most Americans - not all, but most - live a comfortable life.
One problem: The curve hasn't actually flattened in some places. Those places should continue to encourage as few people out and about as possible.
Forgot to mention, there are also several AHK scripts that mimic i3 that are quite nifty and then of course Windows has had virtual desktops for years.
Well, there are some close to native code speeds for some (very constrained) use-cases.

They way it's done is that if you use a certain stile of C the compiler will speculative do assumptions about the code allowing it to basically add all the C optimizations. Except that it always has to check if the assumptions are uphold and then fallback and that because it's a JIT it has much less time to optimize the code and do cross-code-section optimizations.
Good ol' Dutch comfort: it could be worse!
There's a large amount of developers making shitty enterprise tools on Windows. Usually done with the whole VS/C# stack. Anyone making anything for the web or doing anything cross platform is likely using MacOS or Linux.
You are not counting flu and covid using the same methods, which is causing you to either undercount covid deaths or overcount flu deaths.

If you count covid and flu using the same method you see far more covid deaths.

Here for covid you're using "died after testing positive for covid", and for flu you're using "died after testing positive for flu or with presumed flu". You can see these are different.
Also, the UX on bitbucket is very convoluted, to me at least.

Cool. This seems like it would be really helpful for building libraries for other languages to enable native android programming in a variety of languages.

I know D's not the most popular language on here, but I know HN has a few D enthusiasts and Walter Bright hangs out here, but my first thought was this

https://wiki.dlang.org/Build_D_for_Android

I've tried to cross compile D apps for android and it was a hassle, I never really got it to work properly.

Would something like this project help efforts in that direction? Writing wrappers around C libraries in D is fairly painless comparatively.
It's really just about the initial steps of the project. One talk you might like is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEgaVMOYLEU from 9 years ago.
> The field of x-ray light sources seems to be pretty well developed, lightsource.org lists 30 of them world wide, so adding one more doesn't look like it's going to critically impact anything except maybe the local community getting the extra jobs.

And that's based on what? The number of lightsources in the world? There's dozens of research groups studying quantum computing. I guess they should just pack up and move on to less developed fields.

In reality, there are huge open problems with synchrotron light sources that people are spending their careers on (and I don't think they're jealous of HEP). What I'm more interested in, however, are university scale sources of xrays and matter for atomic scale physics. Even though there are a few dozen facilities around the world, all of them are oversubscribed. Many times if you apply for time on a synchrotron you'll be denied because there just isn't space for you. Even companies that pay for time (and yes these machines don't just impact local job counts) don't always get a slot. It would be transformative to take some of these techniques (and more advanced ones) to a wider audience.
You are not forced to hold onto non-dividend paying stocks, you can sell them gradually to create "dividends" for yourself. As a first order approximation, buying a $100 stock that gives you a $5 dividend but stays at $100 is not different from buying a stock that doesn't distribute a dividend but appreciates 5% every year.
Very cool! But you can write apps in Java and not have big apk sizes... I have a pretty well optimized collaborative drawing pixel art app on the marketplace and it's < 8mb last I checked.
There are a number of possible options! And remember you can always pipe pyp to pyp. Here are some ideas, in order of what came to mind, where the operation is incrementing.

pyp 'lines[lines.index("start") + 1:]' | pyp 'lines[:lines.index("end")]' | pyp 'int(x) + 1'

pyp 'start = lines.index("start"); end = lines.index("end", start); map(lambda x: int(x) + 1, lines[start + 1:end])'

pyp 'dropwhile(lambda x: x != "start", lines)' | pyp 'lines[1:]' | pyp 'takewhile(lambda x: x != "end", lines)' | pyp 'int(x) + 1'

pyp 'map(lambda x: int(x) + 1, takewhile(lambda x: x != "end", islice(dropwhile(lambda x: x != "start", lines), 1, None)))'

pyp -b 'cond = False' 'if cond and x == "end": break' 'if cond: print(int(x) + 1)' 'if x == "start": cond = True'

Ofcourse a small portion will always be ambitious, enterprising and expect to join the 10%. But we are all convinced (and I assumed this too) that the stock gains are good because it helps average Americans increase their 401k, but the stock ownership ratio is so skewed to affect the majority. If the stock market crashed, it wouldn't really afffect most American's net worth which is so interesting? I'm sure companies will shut down and there's be trickle down job losses but that can happen in stock boom times too (like now). A quick Google search showed where this number comes from https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/08/business/economy/stocks-e...
My mum passed a few years ago. I miss her deeply, she was just 59 and she missed the chance to meet her first grandchild.

I live in London and she lived in California, we’d speak to each other a few times a week.

Since she left earth and moved to the universe, she’s become a super awesome space mum! I speak to her everyday.

I do miss the hugs, the laughs and life lessons mind you. Her greatest lesson was when she left this world. It taught me a lot about how I go about my life.

So before I sound too cliché, call your mum and tell her you love her, that’s way cooler than the learning the latest tech!

Love you mum!
No.

Pray that she dies.
Rust is promoted all the time as the sensible choice for embedded work instead of C or C++.
Realistically your "PC" is just a way to get a terminal on which ever system your developing - the only downside is you wont have easy access to office/outlook. Wat MS should do is just ship a proper x server with widows

If your a singleton developer is not so much of a problem going 100% Linux - working in the enterprise a lot of your actual work is going to be wrighting text documents and not code.

And dude do your self a favor and get a proper mech key board - your asking for RSI in later life
Thanks for taking your time and the compliments. It means a lot!

1- The app is like in alpha/beta stage right now. I planned to put currencies in the database but it was too much work for an MVP so I literally typed them into the template lol. Which currency do you need? I can add it manually now and be sure to have it in the database when I make the transition.

2- Agreed. Number inputs are funky. Tried to have custom Javascript for the minimal asset size but I didn't do well. I'll use some 3rd party plugin for those.

3- Noted. One question though. Why do you type 0.09 in a percentage field? Is it just a test or do you really have 0.09% (9 in ten thousand) tax rate?
i qualify and filled for unemployment benefits over a month ago after a several hundred employee layoff at my company. I still have not seen a penny. Many others I've talked to in my state are in exactly the same position.

in Nevada, the department of employment has dropped business hours to just three days a week. there are no queues when you call in. there is no "your call will be served in the order this call was relieved". there is only the busy signal. day after day - the busy signal.

people's ability to actually work with the employment office differs dramatically state by state.

please don't generalize. Platitudes about how the unemployed are "doing just fine" aren't universally true. Many of us are watching personal savings vanish week by week while with no resolution in sight.

Study: Life Might Be Common in Inflationary Universe
500000 deaths is realistic for UK with uncontrolled spread given that many recent studies indicate ~0.9% IFR. 500000 assumes 89% prevalence.
The thing that changed was the realization that there were significant numbers of asymptomatic carriers. This was not something that was fully appreciated at the initial stages of the pandemic response (in the US at least).

Masks really don't help protect you as an individual. There isn't a lot of data available, but it has been studied (Ars has a good overview here [0]). The main take home message from most of the studies was that infection rates were largely unchanged or worse when people wore masks -- one theory being that there was a false sense of security. Contaminated air will simply get past any non-medical grade N95 mask (and N95 masks that aren't properly fit won't protect from viruses). So telling people that masks didn't help was completely accurate.

But, when you have asymptomatic carriers, the masks help protect other people from you. They do this by limiting the distance contaminated air travels from your mouth/nose. So, masks are only effective when they are used by everyone -- and in the context of asymptomatic carriers. Also when people are able to be distant from each other, masks really don't help much more. It's when people can't be distant that they help -- but again, they aren't meant to protect the wearer.

The health authorities (and the media) in my Midwestern city have been very clear about the motivations for masks. Unfortunately, communicating this reasoning has not been as effective. People tend to be more concerned about protecting themselves than the others. (Which is understandable)

I'm using KDE (Kubuntu 20.04) on four laptops turning 10 this year. They are AMDs first gen APU, so they were nothing fancy when they came out. KDE runs just fine, with animations. Main thing to upgrade was an SSD for a really speedy setup.
Local and diverse are in conflict. Local is actually a fragile quality because disasters tend to be localized. It's only really antifragile when politics get involved (think pissing matches over masks and respirators).
