If they want cookies, but the only option the baker gives is cake or go hungry, of course they're going to pay for the cake. It's their only option!

Doesn't necessarily mean they don't prefer the cookies just because they're spending on cake...
What if Ontario was like new York State? Then Ontario with a pop of 14M vs 19.5M would have lost around 15,000 people not 1600 as current.

There is also this assumption that people will haplessly get infected as if they were livestock. Which they are not. The will stop going up, stop spending money, avoiding work if they can. That's baked in and not something the government imposes. Except to impose order on the process. An orderly early lockdown is better than a late chaotic panicked one.
Would you like to use Rust (and Godot) to make games?

Here is my tutorial on using Godot and Rust together - https://medium.com/@recallsingularity/gorgeous-godot-games-i...

Also, I'm making a space factory game. Sporadic updates so far but here is the most recent

https://medium.com/@recallsingularity/space-factory-building...

There is a Discord mentioned in there if you run into any issues with your godot-rust dev, we've got a very active development community there.

Godot also supports GDScript, C#, Python, C++ and more.

You can still use bitmap fonts on the WWW.

That said, most of the 90s webpages didn't look like that. Images were used instead. For example:

As a relative Linux newbie, who's running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on two laptops at home, would there be any advantages to Debian 10.4 over Ubuntu 20.04?

An interesting point about sales tax is that it isn't assessed by the state to collect from the customer, it's assessed against the company. The company can make up a shortfall from their own revenues (although overcharging the customer might be problematic).
Hm, on second thought I just did a quick search and I think I was wrong and it's maybe more like in the range of 1/4 to 1/3. Also, am thinking there may not even be a way to measure this very easily outside of just random surveys or trying to gather data separately from major providers.

A quick look at an article[1] at the time (who claimed it was "outrageous") show Hotmail were offering 250Mb and Yahoo had just launched 1Gb to catch up.

You skipped few of the most played multiplayer games of 2008. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, 'top-selling game worldwide for 2007', 7 million units moved in a year. Then there was 2008 Call of Duty: World at War. I stopped following cod soon after (life), but looking further to 2011 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, again top seller, also shipped with dedicated servers support.

Turns out you can have AAA with dedicated servers as long as you arent planning to nickle and dime your userbase selling macrotransaction first day DLCs or pretend your limited instancing game is an MMO.

I think you're using a term in a way it wasn't meant to be used. I tried to give this the benefit of the doubt, I did searches for uses of DOM outside of HTML and XML documents, and it's just not a term that's used generally for any tree representing nodes and leaves. There are much more general terms for those kinds of structures, and pretty much any program which maintains or creates structured data has some kind of representation of data with those kinds of relationships. But the DOM, as defined by the W3C:

> The Document Object Model (DOM) is a programming API for HTML and XML documents.

I was unable to find any other usage.

In reality, I think it would be more accurate to refer to the virtual DOM (at least React's, I haven't spent much time familiarizing myself with other implementations with the same naming) as a virtual output data structure, where the output may be rendered to a screen, it may be rendered to a string serialization, or any other output... but the role it plays (when it performs well) is to optimize output over time by minimizing changes pushed to its destination. One of those output targets is the DOM.

You chose to respond to one of my examples among many non-DOM React renderers, but another one very much has everything to do with rendering and pixels, and that's canvas.

And pixels, to a software, are just another data structure. Software doesn't emit light from an LED or a diode, it just provides data to a hardware which produces physical side effects.

Honestly, this has been an enlightening discussion, but primarily because I've been reminded that my instincts for engaging dismissive comments on the internet are there for a reason. I don't hope to convince you, I don't think any further engagement would be productive, have a nice weekend.
Be less of an advertiser, if you want the attention of folks. Show them what you can do for them, not the latest trinket that you want to trade for cash.

I find it very revealing that you didn't post links to your first few interactions on Reddit. What happened in those doomed threads and under that deleted user? On your current thread, somebody tells you bluntly that you're advertising [1], and you indicate that advertising, to you, can be balanced by novelty and popular appeal. However, please keep in mind that popular appeal is manufactured by advertising, and that all new things are novel; advertising is not a damage to society that can be so easily cancelled out.

If you want to understand your audience, you might start by examining SCP-1471 [2], the object of your Reddit critic's affections.

Edit: From a game design perspective, if you don't make something that's fun for you, then I don't know why you're so surprised that a third of your users are already tired of it. I don't see, in your post about how you designed your game, much of a consideration for fun or ludic immersion. Have you played your game for hours upon hours? TBH it sounds mind-numbing.

HN in a nutshell
What Google is indexing appears to be the original and normally behaving PDF (before processing by wholemars.com):https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/1...

(the submitted link for this thread should probably be changed to the sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com hosted version of the PDF)

But yes, I do agree that not all the text in the wholemars.com version was obfuscated. Seems like the metatext and boilerplate stuff was left as is in this processed version.
You should do this in both GC'd and non-GC'd languages. Obviously C/C++/etc give you more options for arenas and the like. If you have a well bounded upper limit there's a while lot of good reasons to preallocate(locality of data, GC pressure, etc).

Some engines I used to work with would assert() on malloc/free if it happened outside certain safe regions of execution.

Ask HN: Why Netflix still using AWS when Amazon is their biggest competitor?
I have been wondering about this question for some time. To give context, I get it, the engineers and management at Netflix continuously evaluating (and it's not an easy task), but what's something holding them moving off of AWS like Dropbox?

Aren't they literally giving money to their competitor?

I've never measured it but I've learned to work as much as I can without getting into burnout territory. On average I think I now work 50-60 hours per week.

Most of these 10 years I've been working as a freelancer or now building my thing. Even when I was working for a company for a couple of years I was completely independent as far as time management goes.
And again, in the 1970s the internet - and multiplayer gaming with a social component - effectively did not exist as a widespread hobby.

This is cherrypicking in the most bizarre way: if you can't explain the earlier oscillation, why should I accept the later oscillation? Which also doesn't line up with the type internet gaming which was exploited around the 2010s mark where alt-right groups began aggressively recruiting out of the gaming community via the "gamergate" movement.

In every case you're datapoints don't make any sense - there weren't 12 years olds playing Call Of Duty in 1985 and learning to scream racial and sexual epithets in voice chat. Games with a substantial violent component - the first person shooters - Wolfenstein 3D came out in 1992.

Which still doesn't actually explain anything, because it's not remotely clear how "shooting nazis" lines up with excluding women from CS.
Kind of similar.

My food has been pretty much perfect. I’ve reduced calories to match reduced activity but what I eat is still proportioned correctly, lean meats, vegetables, rice/potatoes.

What I have noticed though is due to isolation only going out when necessary, not lifting weights four days a week, no general daily walking about and no cardio is that now walking up the four flights of stairs to my apartment I’m getting slightly out of breath when I shouldn’t. I’m getting cardiovascular unfit when at the start of the year I was the fittest I’ve ever been.

I’ve also noticed body composition changes. I’ve lost 1-2 kilo, looking a lot less muscular / smaller. As food has been good I don’t think there’s an increase in body fat I just have less mass overall. When you’ve been training hard it’s demotivating.

Things are starting to relax as where I am the numbers are very good so am going to start going for runs to get my cardio back even though I’m not a runner. That’ll again make body composition less muscular as burn off more calories.

For the gym to do my weight training, unfortunately they will be the last to open and it’s a huge mental down knowing I’ll essentially need to start from the very beginning again.

Basically, online schools lack credibility. There is no real way to know the quality of graduates the online schools are producing.

We've had correspondent schools forever. Also, anyone, that wants to, can go to a library and learn whatever they want. Right now, online schools are just a different flavor of those.

I think online schools need to follow some of the qualifications regular universities follow.
1) there should be an accreditation body that accredits online schools

2) Tests and projects need to be proctored

3) There also needs to be a way for students to get to know each other

4) Also, having someone to help you understand what you are doing wrong is very important.

Online schools are a great way to continue your education, once you have graduated, but as the primary way to get educated citizens they have a long way to go.

I think in time there will not be 2 different methods of learning but a hybrid of the two. Ultimately, having a combination of regular school and online education will produce a better quality graduate.

If you lift heavy, power lifting etc it’s hard to do at home unless you go out and buy a rack, barbell and plates.

You’ll never lift or replicate anywhere near 100-200kg+ with home body weight workouts.

If you do general fitness, circuits etc home workouts can be good for that.

I guess it all depends on what you are training for.

Using qutebrowser, the result is about the same:

>The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.

Clearly women in the 1970s had no other obstacles - they couldn't obtain credit(!), much less be on equal footing in so many other ways. The issue is not "but there is an earlier oscillation", it's "if women have been slowly moving in direction of equality, what reversed that?" or "If women were able to 'be interested' back then, how can we claim they aren't now"?
The list of critical infrastructure industries is outlined in this federal government document...

https://www.cisa.gov/publication/guidance-essential-critical...

It lists among other things...

"Workers critical to the manufacturing, distribution, sales, rental, leasing, repair, and maintenance of
vehicles and other transportation equipment (including electric vehicle charging stations) and the supply
chains that enable these operations to facilitate continuity of travel-related operations for essential
workers."
I’m personally more intrigued by the range of options Jamstack gives rather than speed/edge. eg Im currently toying with a pipeline that deploys to cloud run.

AWS and Amazon e-commerce are vastly different services, yet Walmart refuses to use AWS because Amazon is also their largest competitor. In fact, Walmart built themselves an entire private cloud to avoid using AWS.

So OP actually raises a very good question: why does Netflix use AWS when Walmart does not?
>There was literally no dimension on which AWS was better than our on-prem deployment

The big pitch is opex vs capex. This is one of the leading "value propositions" being made to the C-suite. If you're a business that's worried about capex then opex model will look very appealling... until someone looks at how much you'll (generally) be screwed in the Opex model in the mid to long term. Most 'decision makers' in large corporations are short term oriented and the opex model ends up winning.

They both seem to do some kind of anti-aliasing on a hidpi screen for me, and Firefox is actually slightly sharper here. The screenshot is nicely pixelated and somewhat easier to read, but the font itself on the page is a bit blurry.

I responded to a person saying that he could, with enough time, make Linux like Mac OS. I'm saying it's not worth the time for many people, might as well just buy a Mac OS native laptop.

I don't see how buying a Linux "certified" laptop figures into this - they aren't "mac-like." And I agree with you, just buy a Mac if that's what you're looking for.
> We've had SARS and MERS before (MERS is way more deadly, yet we didn't enter a global panic). There is something specific about this panic, and it's not the virus; it's a variant of something we've seen before.

Can I suggest some basic reasoning as to why? Do you know which countries MERS spread to and how many people died as a result of MERS since it was first identified?

MERS was first identified in 2012. In 8 years, it has killed about 866 people worldwide.

SARS was first identified in 2002. In 2 years, it has killed 774 people and then disappeared.

SARS-Cov-2, the novel coronavirus, first appeared only 6 months ago in China. Since then, it has killed 100,000s.

How can you suggest that there isn’t more cause for concern over SARS-Cov-2, considering deaths are already at over 100x the other two viruses you mention in far less time, and that this death count comes despite an incredible, unprecedented international campaign to slow the virus?
I can understand. I had it and got tested positive for antibodies recently.

I had symptoms but it honestly was more like a mild flu.

So please stop your fear mongering and holier than thou attitude, just because you had it and it was bad doesn't mean that everyone will be the same. In fact serological studies prove that the overwhelming majority barely have any symptoms, and of those who do even fewer develop into a severe illness.
If the idea is to maintain lockdown policies until a vaccine is available, then now is the ideal time to move. The downside is less.

It seems likely that these kinds of pressures will limit the viability of maintaining a lockdown for long.

I like this article and hate it at the same time. It posits a proposition quite simply, but there's enough going over my head that I can't truly grasp what the author is saying. For example:

"Let's say you see me flipping a coin. It is not necessarily a fair coin. It's a biased coin, and you don't know the bias. I flip the coin nine times, and the coin comes up "heads" each time. I flip the coin a tenth time. What is the probability that it comes up heads?

If you answered "ten-elevenths, by Laplace's Rule of Succession", you are a fine scientist in ordinary environments, but you will lose money in finance."

Why is it 10/11? If we are to take the probability by induction (as the author points out shouldn't be done), it would be 9/9, no? For a non-biased coin case, taking the limit of [h/(n)] as n -> inf and where h = 0.5n would be 50%. If we have observed 9 heads in 9 flips, doesn't induction dictate the we should expect the next flip to be heads? I'm not saying I'm right... but I'd like to correct my gap in logic.
