Those are nice, and they remind me of pulling the exposure with film (overexposure and under-developed) to give that slightly washed out look. But it works with his subjects—and still looks natural to me—because it matches the bright light and slight haze of the high plains and desert.

Good project. I think it is unfortunate that we pay too much attention on such promises/predictions. We should treat as we do horoscopes, palm reading, etc. Nobody knows the future. I think we can make some broad educated guesses. At times I feel sorry for the public figures that make promises. In some ways the whole setup forces them to do so. Such promises make for good headlines, soundbites and could even swing elections. In some ways they're playing to the audience. No matter how many times they get it wrong we still come back to hear more promises/predictions. It might just be in our nature to do so...

Abstract: Highly sensitive laser light scattering observations have revealed that loud speech can emit thousands of oral fluid droplets per second. In a closed, stagnant air environment, they disappear from the window of view with time constants in the range of 8 to 14 min, which corresponds to droplet nuclei of ca. 4 μm diameter, or 12- to 21-μm droplets prior to dehydration. These observations confirm that there is a substantial probability that normal speaking causes airborne virus transmission in confined environments.

No, it is fair in my view.

The person that shows the demo can for example choose to move and look and perform actions that are known to not cause performance trouble.

In a game a lot of unpredictable stuff can happen (for example, a bunch of people can cast a spell or drop a grenade at exactly same time). Or you may decide to quickly turn around causing a bunch of texture and geometry data to be loaded.

Game must take it into account and make sure the performance is acceptable with whatever input is allowed and lots of action around and not only when the guy walks slowly in a straight path and slowly pans around.

It doesn't mean it happens in this case but AFAIK it is fair to say that most engine demoes are put together to highlight strengths and hid weaknesses of the engine.
If you need a server framework for Deno, please take a moment to check out Pogo. It's got a powerful and friendly API. It also has the best documention and plenty of tests.

Sure, but the reason Tesla can really start is that legally they're essential and there are plenty of other auto manufacturers who are in the same boat. Musk just makes people crazy, so you might as well make the story about him.
There are some manual things you can do to ensure portability from Node to Deno:

* separate out the Node APIs from the rest of your application logic as much as possible as those will be different unrelated API conventions.

* convert your application from using require to using ES6 modules. This won’t work if you have more that few highly trivial dependencies as Node requires picking one way of importing files and that one way extends to your dependencies as well.

* Node uses callbacks for asynchronous logic where Deno uses promises, so ensure all callback functions are passed by reference so that the difference is an API difference instead of a logic difference.
Is it good for the Idaho candidate to get paid less for the same work? If a company is willing to pay $x for a role because it will give them $y benefit where $y > $x why should any candidate accept less than $x? How much of a delta between $y and $x is even acceptable? Why should we celebrate companies playing candidates against each other for the benefit of the few?
Also, most CPUs you can buy have around 40-64 PCIe lanes, limiting you to 10-16 drives if you want full speed out of them (this also leaves you with no lanes for ethernet).

Ask HN: Virtual Meetings for 20 Children
Hi HN.

I'm a scout leader in the UK and we're running weekly zoom sessions for our scouts to keep them in touch with each other and the feedback from parents has been very positive. We need some ideas now though, and I turn to you all for help.

I need interesting activities for children aged 10-14 that are web-based, can be done in about 30 minutes, are easy to set up, and in some kind of private space just for us. A good example might be https://skribbl.io/ which has private rooms and runs a game.

It needs to be simple for the kids to sign up without adult help, if at all possible. It needs be a safe space. It doesn't need to be free, but the scout group would have to centrally pay for everyone.

Also, it needs to be something we can't just do by sharing a screen on zoom and talking, like quizzes, as we have that covered.

Basically, the younger kids don't know how to do idle chat, but once they have a thing to talk about then the social interactions start getting meaningful.
The Bosque paper says the following:

> JavaScript took an interesting step by decoupling the core compute language in the JS specification from the IO and event loop which are provided by the host [...]. We take the same approach of decoupling the core compute language, BOSQUE, from the host runtime which is responsible for managing environmental interaction.

So it seems that Bosque doesn't do IO directly, but instead specifies how a given input is mapped to some output.

It is not the culture, it is the legislation. Based on a bit of a research USA is the only country that has a Constitution that grants real rights, like freedom of speech, religion, etc. while in the others there are almost zero rights by Constitution, they are privileges that can be suspended or retired. For example, UK or Australia don't have a freedom of speech as such; in Australia the Supreme Court "interpreted" in a decision that freedom of speech is a right, but not because it is in their books, just because they gave that interpretation. Such ruling can be changed later like it sometimes happen.

For example in Romania, where the number of cases and deaths per million is low, there is no right; by Constitutional text there is a freedom of speech that cannot be infringed, but in practice we have laws that infringe it and they were not considered non-compliant with the Constitution. For example, anyone saying there was no Holocaust will go to prison, even if that is an opinion protected by the free speech article.

All other articles have a formulation "in the limit of the law", that means any law can limit any right. At the same time, one of the first measures of the Government when the lockdown was instituted was to announce the European Court for Human Rights that Romania is suspending human rights. Plain and simple, we have no rights, stuff that can be changed, suspended or taken are not rights, but privileges. Including the right to live, patients with chronically diseases were restricted to get medical care during the lockdown.

Therefore comparing USA with the rest of the "Western world" (Europe and eventually Australia, it is not about geography but culture) needs to take in consideration the situation of fundamental rights in the legislation: USA has fundamental rights, nobody else does.
I wonder if Levoy will head over to Apple. It’s crazy that the Pixel team has lost the person in charge of the one undeniably good part of the device.
Sure, but they are not simply saying that they do not allow unbounded loops, that is what some languages do already, like Coq.

They are saying that the compiled program "uses constant stack space, eliminating any possible out-of-stack issues".

This seems impossible unless recursion cannot depend in any way on inputs from the outside world.

Mind you, even if you have constant stack space that does not mean that you won't run into an out-of-stack issue.

You can still run out of stack space if it is constant, because it might not fit in memory. It would probably be trivial to construct such a program.

Furthermore, a program with constant stack space may even run out of stack space during execution (due to the kernel overcommitting memory, for example).

I think it's signalling exactly the right thing. We know exactly what to expect when someone claims they've made a "modern Lisp". That phrase has come to mean "something with parentheses that demonstrates that its author doesn't understand Lisp at all."

I have always wanted to learn DevOps. I use Heroku for almost all my apps, but I wanted to learn what is happening every time I do git push heroku master.

I started learning Ansible recently using the 'Ansible for Devops' book. I used the concepts mentioned in this book and used the author's Ansible roles as a starting point to create a playbook for deploying Rails 6 apps.

Here's the code - https://github.com/EmailThis/ansible-rails

It includes roles for performing the following tasks -

* Installation of common packages, basic SSH security

* Install NGINX, Certbot (for Letsencrypt SSL Certs)

* Ruby (via rbenv)

* Rails 6, Puma, Sidekiq

* Redis

* Nodejs/Webpack/yarn

* Postgresql + saving backups to S3

* Deploying using Ansistrano

> Like the current politicians or not, most populations respect their governments and are willing to support emergency measures in the short term.

This is certainly the facade presented by the international media, but it’s absolutely not true. I have family in some of the more media-celebrated countries, and their citizenry is absolutely not united in the way you’re presenting. Some of them have had their lockdowns legally challenged, legal analysis has absolutely not been favourable in regards to the legality, and attempting to pass zero-scrutiny emergency legislation is a pretty common theme. They’ve also prosecuted between hundreds and thousands of people for movement violations in most jurisdictions.

I remember browsing the international section of a certain large media organisation recently, they had one article ruthlessly condemning the measures implemented by the president of Poland, right next to one singing high praise of the measures implemented by the prime minister of New Zealand. I looked into the details, and the measures implemented were almost exactly the same, the only difference I could find is that police in Poland seem to generally be armed, while police in New Zealand seem to generally not be. I absolutely would not suggest anybody rely on the general tone of the reporting as some sort of gauge for how people are feeling/behaving in any particular place.
Reminds me of the bad old days of software without any U/X considerations. Software developers were disdainful of their users as well (and many still are).

It was only with the advent of A/B testing and some serious study into U/X that the mindset slowly began to change.

Doubtful, some quick googling seems to indicate that the micromodem iie is a 300bps modem (vs the micromodem II, for which the manual pops up right away). Even if its 1200 or 2400bps, its still likely way to slow to be affected by the codec issues/etc that others have pointed out. You have to remember people are still running fax and home security systems with modems in 2020, so the vast majority of VOIP codecs handle that just fine.

About 10 years ago, I went on a modem kick and wrote a software modem, as well as setting one up at work on a real POTs line to dial in from my house using an old external 56k modem I had lying about. IIRC it linked up at 33.6 without a problem even with a VOIP box on my side (I did tweak the codec at one point, but the default with my provider was already reasonable for modems).

So, its true your not going to get "modern" (56k+) modem speeds on a lot of lines, but even when modems were popular not getting full speed was a continual problem due to line quality issues. So most modems would fall back until they got a reasonable lock. I'm not sure but in the early 2000's there was a state regulatory mandate that POTs lines needed to be capable of 19.2 (IIRC). It wouldn't surprise me if that still exists, even over digital lines to assure that said fax, home security, etc systems continue to work.

Anyway, the point being that at 300bps, your more likely to have problems with the endpoint refusing such a slow connection than having line quality issues.
> Or you might think, "Ah-ha, desktop apps!" But the OS vendor can casually destroy you there.

Casually? The amount of effort and goodwill, say, Microsoft would need to spend to prevent me from installing $PROGRAM on my computer is significantly higher than the amount of non-effort a single extension reviewer would need to expend to click "no" arbitrarily because they are having a bad day.

How would Microsoft do it? Add legit software to Defender? Ship a Win10 update that disables a key API call $PROGRAM uses? Add "if program == $PROGRAM then exit" to the CreateProcess code? All possible, none casual. To the best of my knowledge they've never done something like this. I'm less deep into Apple land but I expect something similar holds on macos.

Genuinely curious - is it really more clean though? Or is it just more visibly clear to humans (obviously, that is due to a reduction in pollution, but just how much?)

I'm just basing this thought off of waterways in Italy and such. When all the pictures of "unpolluted waterways" were going around... it's not that there was a drastic reduction in pollution. It's just that the silt hadn't been disturbed by boats/other man made things.
