No, that's not what "Harvard" estimates. One group, including "ethics experts", is estimating that it would take that many daily tests to completely eliminate all "social distancing" without any risk.

Whether correct or not, you could reopen the economy fully in the official sense, and people would still distance themselves somewhat, be more likely to get takeout than eat in a crowded restaurant, wash their hands more often, be more likely to wear masks on public transport, etc. You'd get some ongoing level of excess illness that is very hard to predict but is not likely at this point for the US to get much worse than Sweden, which remained officially "open".

It's worth noting that the opposite point of view is also true: in that case, they are not the company the "ex-star" would want to work for, either.
I don't see how they would help. There's a common refrain among Reddit socialists and whatnot about the rich sitting on some mythical "pile of resources" that needs to be redistributed, but even if you suppose that we guillotine the rich I don't think the poor can eat stock certificates.

What are they going to do if they dismantle, say, Wal-Mart? Now all the people who worked there have no jobs and the people who shopped there have one less source of goods. Sure, we might be fine without it due to the alternatives, but once you go down that road, you find out that you've ripped up a complex system of logistics that moved goods to places that people wanted them and that you don't have any sort of replacement planned.

But that's usually what happens in these revolutions, they rip everything apart and then try to replace it with something better and fail. But next time will always be better, right?

I guess they no longer have the remote state locking with DynamoDB. Anyway, I see a lot of AWS IAM stuff with no Azure and GCP support equivalent.
> People here don't believe in firearms,

I don't know what that means. Guns are highly correlated with leathality and people believe in them completely. Generally, a population may not want to have possession of guns. That quickly changes for a large percentage in survival mode. Effectively, many criminals are perpetually in survival mode.
> I think you mean funded by the tax payer, rich and poor alike

The rich pay disproportionately a lot more. Most technology is funded by the rich either directly or through the majority of the taxes they pay.

97% of taxes are paid by the top 50%.
Thanks, it does help to hear that.

Their actual marketplace behaviour demonstrates that they're allergic to GPL version 3 specifically, not the GPL or copyleft in general.
I strongly support this sentiment. I’ve recently come to the conclusion (after building a non-trivial react app from scratch) that the optimal use case is in a rails/django/go/whatever app that only uses react to handle front end state for the hairy components while the lion’s share is handled by the server.

Well, for one, the app in question does a lot more than the example app in C.

The example app doesn't even support half the permissions my app uses. Add those and you're probably in megabyte territory.

Even if not, the point is that for apps going on the marketplace - this kind of thing probably isn't worth it.
Thanks for the feedback! Nift can certainly be used without any scripting (whether it be pre/post build scripts, injecting output from external scripts or its own in-built scripting abilities with n++/f++).

I do worry that things like Lua/ExprTk etc. might scare people who just need a basic static website generator, as I think Nift should still be one of the easiest to use for basic html/css/js websites.

One thing I hope I've succeeded at is ensuring the barebones of a project is quite basic (check out what you get if you run `nsm init-html` in an empty directory if you try installing). If you want you can easily just use Nift's functionality for injecting/inputting content from files at build time then just use basic html/css/js/etc. for your website, while also aiming to be able to integrate with basically any other tool you could possibly want.

It is quite a bit of work to set up things from scratch, but as you identified it's hopefully quite easy to set up templates/boilerplate to be replicated for other projects. In that regard Nift attempts to be unopinionated.

I am not quite sure what you mean by separating markup from content either? The templating system is extremely flexible with how you can lay your files out, inject content from basically wherever etc..
People use React not because because it's shiny (guess what, it's not, React was first launched 2013 - six years ago, and it's more aged than jQuery's age when React was born), nor because they want everything to be an SPA (contrary to common HN belief), the use it because it gives a battle-tested, excellent solution for components and reactivity. That's really the only reason why React is prospering, and why other libraries are trying to get inspired from React and tries to copy it's API surface. (Preact, Crank.js, etc...)

For the pages to not use React, we really only need one thing: Built in reactivity to web components (custom elements). That's really the only reason why React is used. If you want to see static pages without JS, you could also need a method to define custom elements declaratively (in HTML).

That two things is the solution to this problem. Not saying that web developers just want shiny things and everything is bloated.
That was a later program. You're misunderstanding because he used the word "stimulus". There were multiple rounds. The first, was a huge corporate giveaway.
In high school my friends played a lot of "gunboat", where you stay at the board and all negotiations happen in the open. Seasons can be as short as you want, we usually aimed for around 10 minutes. Obviously lacks some of the planning/scheming of the full game I think its a much faster way to learn the mechanics of openings and builds and such.
No the client can't assume that. Consider pipelining reads. You can asynchronously send 10 1MB reads. The server can return the data in any order. So the read sent at offset 0 could return last after the server has already returned 9MB starting at offset 1MB onwards in the file, and this first read then returns a short read of 800k instead of 1MB.

You can't then assume that the read at offset 0 returning short means the file is now truncated to 800MB and the other 9MB is no longer of use.

Also remember you might have a complete RWH lease on the file, so you are guaranteed that there was no other writer truncating the file whilst the read is ongoing.
I did address that it depends on your requirements. But my point is that it is highly unlikely that any requirements would be better served by vanilla JS + html than say writing your code with ES Next or React, unless you truly have some sort of limited use one-off thing.

Tools like webpack, babel, and react are also orthogonal to whether or not you're doing an SPA. These new tools aren't just to make your app a SPA, but are meant to decouple the maintainability of your code from the implementation details. React itself isn't even a framework but a paradigm which just happens to have a specific implementation that requires their runtime. The most recent shift is to turn your components into pure functions, and this is less about the framework and more about decoupling your app rendering logic from the react implementation. There's no objective argument that writing vanilla JS is better than writing modern ES next code. These language improvements are done to improve the failings of the javascript language after all.

You can totally use React to purely statically render your website. This is what most SSR implementations do, and the only reason JS is still activated is most modern apps require interactivity.

If you start doing vanilla JS and HTML you're doing a direct implementation. That's almost always the wrong way just because of browser differences between operating systems, mobile vs desktop, and all the other features that aren't really bells and whistles but more and more necessary as technology serves a bigger role. Perhaps in 1990 it's fine that a website can be made for a specific user for a specific purpose.
The article says he has yet to harvest a single vanilla pod from his plants. It very much looks like he intends to primarily create a business selling his greenhouses, rather than actually producing vanilla, which is a long and involved process, you won't simply harvest processed vanilla pods from the magic domes.
Read the post and realised it might be a great idea. Perhaps each node in the AST is an entity and you can add/remove components to a node during compilation ? Need to really try it out to be sure this works.

And I've paid many people way more than I ever got back. Just because someone charges more doesn't mean they'll be great at their craft. It just takes a dillusional person who isn't living in grounded reality to charge you through the roof and offer you rock bottom quality of work.

Anyone who thinks they'll magically get great work by paying higher prices is here for a suprize.

I had people charge very less give me great work and I had people charging a lot to give me shoddy work. It's always your responsibility to figure out what the quality of work you'll get for a given price.
> We’ve seen it recently, where a single man shut down CNN and I think some other news stations just mailing poorly-made bombs to the media and politicians.

That case always struck me as really odd. That guy was under surveillance the whole time and was caught in a sting operation. I think they even helped him build the devices. For what reason did they actually let him mail them? Surely, given that they were in on the entire plot, they could have simply arrested him before the devices were actually mailed.

He only has to take some material step forward in terms of the plot to get arrested for conspiracy as far as the law goes. Letting those reach the mailbox seems like a major failure on their part.
It's controversial because it directly effects us. I wish I didn't have to develop in a JS framework but as a full stack developer almost every company I come across requires me to.
You seem to be implying having a competitor to GCC is a bad thing? While there is something to be said for duplicated effort, I think it's actually helped improve GCC a lot because they also 'copied' good things Clang did (like much better warnings, built-in static analysis etc.). So really everybody has benefited.

It's good to have a bit of diversity and options, especially when they're all trying to be compatible.

Well, React isn't something very 'shiny' anymore, for shiny things you would look at things like svelte or wasm.

React is older than jQuery's age when React was first born now.
There seems to be a bit of replying to the wrong comment going on, but I'll comment here in response to you and the parent...

This line of argument is flawed because:

1) Plenty of depression, anxiety and of course ADHD occurs in childhood, while bipolar and schizophrenia more commonly occurs in late adolescence or early adulthood. Plenty of reproduction happens - particularly by men of course - at ages later than these when these illnesses can manifest (we can even see how some men with ADHD or bipolar tendencies have reproduced at higher rates than other men, and rationalise why this would have been the case through evolutionary history).

2) The suggestion that such widespread tendencies are in the gene pool only as an undesirable accident doesn't pass Occam's razer. We must assume they are there because they have been selected for, unless there is evidence to the contrary, which nobody in this whole thread has been able to offer.

3) We can easily see reasons why it has been beneficial to have some level of propensity for tendencies like depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar and even some schizophrenia in the gene pool.
I think the problem/frustration is simply this: there are a lot of web sites out there that are, well, web sites, not web applications. Looking back at the linked article, it goes out of its way to talk about many ways that React is "pretty great" and "for a particular scope of use cases it's the best tool you can find," but then goes on:

> There are a lot of problems for which I can't see any concrete benefit to using React. Those are things like blogs, shopping-cart websites, mostly-CRUD-and-forms websites.

And the thing is, this still comprises an awful lot of the web. If I can produce a web site with Lektor or Hugo or some other sophisticated static site builder, it's hard to see how React is going to bring anything to the table that either makes that web site easier for me to maintain or provides a better experience for that web site's users. If you introduce some dynamic elements to the web site -- well, just what are those elements? Ad banners? A simple image carousel?

And I think that's really the argument being made here -- use the right tool for the right job. If all you have is React, everything look likes like an SPA, but that doesn't mean that it is.
What would that look like in practice. Would you write 95% of the basic crud stuff as server side rendered then just have the React or Vue component for the really complex UI stuff?

Would there be downsides having the mix of languages (assuming your backend language is not JavaScript) ?
Ultimately, free is the culprit.

Sort of. The real question is: how much does Google make with their free ad-driven model? You'd have to beat that with a paid model (taking into account the reduced userbase as a result of increasing the perceived price).

Also there is genuine value to having $0-cost high-quality maps, Internet search, translation, and many many many other things available to the general public, worldwide. I don't think you could match that same level of public benefit with a paid-only product.

Cynism also has the advantage that no solution needs to be provided, so you are never wrong.

> In toxic and mismanaged environments, being a cynic from the sidelines can be a better political strategy than being the positive person in the trenches trying to find solutions and compromises.

Yes. In the best awesome places I have worked, there are great constructive discussions on how to solve problems.

If anyone is an environment that cynism is rewarded, run from there. There are better places to be.

SPAs are a product of the mobile app frenzy of the early 2010s. Web devs felt left out and tried to mimic the shiny UX of mobile apps. Also SPAs allowed the web app to be just another frontend client, like a third mobile OS, sharing the same server API that the mobile apps consume. Generally trends that are based on delusion (that the web is just another app platform) tend to run out of steam at some point. Use the right tool for the job. You're not Facebook or Twitter. I can finish a Django hello-blog while you're still trying to get WebPack to transpile TypeScript(TM).

An example: Macbook chargers these days have charge ports that are also used for USB devices. This means that if a user plugs in a compromised "charger", it can set its own HID type (and pretend it is a keyboard or a mouse), open a terminal and start typing malware into the computer.

One of my previous bosses and then my client for +10 years, have cancer and is very close to the end. He also spent his life in work and also have regrets. He was fit and healthy, at his peak in life and then have it all taken away. Cancer sucks do damn much..
Same. Why I am against the idea of ever having a family unless I have a fuck you pile of cash. At least that way, you won't have many regrets and you should be able to hire someone to take care of things that you won't live to. It won't be 100% same as when you were there but at least, it won't be the worst.

Death isn't as scary as the idea of leaving someone dependent on you behind. They might become dysfunctional without you.

> “While others were facilitated by their embassies concerned and were taken for quarantine, officials from the German embassy informed the Indian bureau of immigration that Ziebat is a wanted criminal in their country with several cases of assault and other crimes registered against him. Since he was on a foreign land, they did not take his custody."

This sounds highly suspicious to me. If he is a wanted criminal, I would imagine the German government is especially keen to take him home so that he can be held responsible for his crimes. It sounds to me like he doesn't want to leave for Germany and they can't make him board a "rescue flight".
If your resume is a "yes" at first read, your GitHub projects won't matter.

Likewise, if your resume experience is a "no", they're not going to visit GitHub to change their minds.

Where it starts to matter is if your resume is a "maybe" on first read. If they're not quite sure if your experience is what they're looking for, they might make an effort to probe around your GitHub profile for extra information. Having even a few good commits easily accessible on GitHub can be enough to tip the scales to "yes" and move candidates on to the next stage in the interview.

> I don't think I would want to work somewhere that expects a married with kids mid-level engineer to spend their weekends and nights contributing to open source, just to land their next job.

It's a mistake to think that's it's mandatory. I've never met a real-world hiring manager who thinks that GitHub profiles are a requirement for good candidates.

Likewise, it's a mistake when people delay their job search or applications to build up a portfolio of side projects first. Realistically, most companies are never going to check your GitHub profile in the first place.
I'm going to go out on a limb and request that people not post this sort of thing here. HNers, I believe, have a higher-than-average rate of anxiety and psychosomaticism (myself included).

My first instinct is no, the order of annotations should not matter to a parser. Or, put more precisely: that would be outside the scope of the spec, and keeping track of annotation order shouldn't be required of a valid parser. (Though, of course, if an application wanted to keep these annotations ordered it should be allowed to do so.)

Though it's a great question, and I could see myself changing course if a good use case were pitched whereby the ordering of annotations mattered specifically in a way that a use-case-specific app couldn't function if those children weren't already ordered for it in the plaintext.

There's also a case to be made that, because annotations are just a special type of child items, and because item order is generally meaningful in Margin, then we might as well keep annotations ordered too for good measure.
A lot of this also seems to be insider knowledge. It is said that QE is the greatest wealth transfer tool on the earth. I truly believe that.
