Aha thanks for the heads up, I won't make this mistake again.
I started groceri.es (https://groceri.es), a recipe manager and smart shopping list in one. Its goal is a combination of paprika (https://paprikaapp.com) and Listonic (https://listonic.com).

I was continuously fighting my recipe planning. I did it for a long time in Google Keep. I can't manage recipes there, I have to add items to the shopping list manually. Changes in menu planning don't keep up with the shopping list, I forget to check the pantry. Etc. This time looked right to create something to mitigate the frustrations.

The technology is quite simple, it is a CRUD app in Flask with SQL backend. Everything is a docker container with data in a volume. UX is now quite limited, based on Fomantic UI. There is no goal to make it Saas, for friends I will just spin up a second instance.

I have been a software engineer for over a decade, but haven't been programming the last 5 years. Besides I am a fanatic home cook. So this looked like the perfect opportunity to have some fun again.
All of the stupid, cynical partisan bullshit that America's press comes up with to try and kick Trump out of office is spilling over to other countries and screwing up our ideas about our coronavirus responses, though. For example, early on the CDC screwed up its coronavirus test, delaying the rollout of wider testing. The press saw blood and started blaming all the American deaths on the Trump administration failing to test for coronavirus. The trouble is, this was fixed some months ago, so in order to keep this narrative going publications like the New York Times took increasingly massive levels of testing that no country had managed, such as testing everyone with symptoms or testing 10% of the population a day, and made them sound like things all countries had achieved but the US had missed due to Trump. This worked on a massive scale - the narrative spread, and people in every Western country became convinced that their government is failing at coronavirus testing compared to the rest of the work due to not being able to manage those things, and that it was killing people.

I even had a discussion with a couple of Germans on here the other day who were convinced their coronavirus testing was abysmal, despite them having one of the biggest programs out there and being the country that the US and UK media currently point to in order to convince us that our governments are failing on testing.

To make matters even more stupid, the US actually passed mass testing success story South Korea - the country which supposedly proves all those deaths could be avoided if you just had proper coronavirus testing - quite some time ago, and people didn't realize because the media carefully avoided updating people's beliefs since this changed. I keep seeing people point to the US supposedly having less per-capita testing than South Korea in HN comments as proof they should be able to do better, even now. Astoundingly, when Trump debunked this widespread, false belief in a recent press conference, this is how the New York Times summed it up in a headline "Trump Misrepresents Testing Record". (The "misrepresentation" was that even though what he said was true it wasn't true two months ago, and also the US hadn't beaten every single country on the planet on coronavirus testing. Seriously.)

Also, the sides certainly aren't the same in all countries when it comes to the legal legitimacy of lockdowns. For example, in the UK our right-wing party is currently in power, which means that arguments that their lockdown rules are illegitimate and exceed their powers mostly come from supporters of the other, left-wing party. The justifications for why they're exceeding their powers actually look similar in many ways to the ones in this lawsuit.

I ended up having to switch to dill instead of the default pickle a while back in one of my projects, because pickling lambdas is apparently not possible by default.

But in general it's pretty useful.

By this attitude you can recognise reasonable employers that care about their employees, and are not merely looking to exploit them.
I think I'm missing some context. Filming isn't the issue then, broadcasting is? Seems like another asterisk on supposed "rights" that exist in countries that pretend they have them.
Same! The web is full of auto generated crap and copy-pasted reviews and whatnot. Reddit is the new google in this regard. We'll see how long it lasts.
Probably doesn't matter (although that is a genuine Hayes so it probably supports both) because a lot of those old modems were capable of "operator dial". AKA you dial the phone manually then you tell the modem to start negiotiation.
AKA ATDT is a tone dial, while ATDP is a pulse dial, or just plain ATD to start negotiation.
> Extentions don't have to exist at all.

This feels like an empty statement. Browsers don't have to exist at all. Computers don't either.

If Chrome dropped all extension support, I would drop Chrome. It's a valuable feature for me and millions of users.
Which begs the question: why is server rental so expensive, but for maintaining artificial scarcity for the sake of a cloud service's bottom line?

Cloud computing price is still based around (illegally monopolized and price fixed) memory prices, which is absurd because two load-balanced NVME disks are comparably as fast as DDR3 RAM.
I'm in exactly the same situation. It's impossible to know what they are after and my extension has a fraction of the permissions that you have.
Those Alps switches were great.
Sure we are, OpenAAC, MPI and GPGPU support are a standard feature of any commercial Fortran compiler.
> I'd much rather live in Sweden or Germany, where people have sufficient trust in their government...

I'm a bit hesitant to compare to either of them because I can't read the local news. That being said, didn't Sweden go with a lockdown-lite policy?

The Sweedes do have the freedom to die from COVID-19 because public health orders are affronts to their liberty.

EDIT And the lockdowns are threatening something like 265 million people experiencing famine [0]. "flag-wrapped know-betters demand Golden Corral reopen for buffet service" is trivialising a serious thing here; the economy isn't a nice-to-have. It is the major generator of all the prosperity that exists in the world. It is too complicated for me to understand causes and effects, but if it doesn't start back up again ASAP the hurt will get worse.

Exactly the same thing at Arm.

We had an all-hands and one of the questions was "are we expected to do our contractual hours" and the answer was to do what you can.

Honestly very impressed by how they are handling this, at every turn they repeat that they understand that everyone's situation is different.

Yes, that's a problem, you can't be the only one responsible for a core part of the stack.

I did an interview at a major streaming company and one critical part was written in Erlang. It has been working great but the guy who wrote it had left for some time and nobody knew Erlang there, so they would have to rewrite it if an update was needed.

Still, it's much easier to install wet scrubbers on thousands of power plants rather than millions of vehicles.
Non-trivial experience in research computing support says that gfortran is surprisingly more reliable than ifort. "Just use GCC and openmpi" has worked in enough cases for me. A number of HPC benchmark lists I've seen have had failures in the proprietary lines and not GCC's.

The performance advantages are largely mythical too. The last time I ran the Polyhedron benchmarks with beta versions of ifort and gfortran on SKX with the best obvious overall optimization (profile-directed), the bottom line was insignificantly faster with gfortran. Gfortran is infinitely faster on ARM and POWER too.

I wish research councils would support the free software.

I stopped using Reddit as I've come to the same conclusions. I feel like I'm missing very little now

What I did was slowly unsubscribe to all subreddits over the course of 6-8 months; slowly 1-3 subs at a time. In the end when there was only one sub left, I lost the habit of going to the site.
Have you got a github on how your tracking the craft beers? I would like to do something similar for Irish breweries.
> And then I get a minute into the UE3 video from 2004 and what do I hear? "The scene you're seeing here is about 1 million polygons of in-game assets, which came from about 200 million polygons of source art."

I know little about game development so might be wrong, but I think what that 2004 demo means is they had a 200M art asset geometry which was pre-rendered/transformed into a 1M in-game asset. This kind of reduction has been the standard for decades.

What they are indicating in this UE5 demo is that the engine dynamically adjusts the LoD of the source geometry so the engine can render it, the engine directly uses the art asset.

You’re just describing all advertising-supported media, from TV to magazines to large swaths of the web.

Do you honestly think HN is in a different category? Why do you think this site exists? And how many billions of collective hours of procrastination have been spent here?

Granted, this site is relatively well-moderated and high signal to noise, especially for its size, but so are many subreddits. The top subreddits are a dumpster fire but there are thousands of smaller niche subs that are delightful.
I just saw "gofundme".
Be careful when changing running style. If you change too fast you increase the risk of injury. Happened to me. Had knee problems. Switched to barefoot running with short fast step and very light to no heel impact. Felt great! But I pushed too fast, got a foot injury which is still bothering me and limiting my long distance running.

For me a fast very short step on varied ground worked best to slow down.

They have the libraries that make sense for the people that are willing to pay for commercial compilers, in the contexts that Fortran gets used for.

I also don't expect e.g. Ruby to have libraries for AAA game engines, or Erlang to have numeric libraries.

Well of course they are using some sort of "lint" system and they know the reason.

Why not give the information to the user? There is no need to use any manual labor here.

I've been diving into Elixir and Erlang, writing a library to build Discord bots with.
I've been toying with bots for a while, but building the library myself gave me some interesting insights in Discord all while learning Elixir myself.

I'm trying to make it so that if you spin up multiple nodes it automatically balances the sharding over all nodes, monitors traffic and attempts to balance the work evenly.

I have a dream. What I really want was likely not possible when tabs were invented, but should be now.

I want least recently used tabs to automatically fade away, but still be fully known and searchable the way that 'search my computer' or 'google search' works. With search filters like last hour/day/week/month. And it seems like history should be kept per tab, not altogether.

This way I keep a minimal-to-medium number of active tabs, but have all those magical things-to-do, pseudo-bookmarks, or other things that cause open tabs to grow and grow available via a quick search interface, auto-magically.
I'm with you, I hate having huge numbers of tabs open, in both IDE and browser land. Some of the devs on my team end up with 30-40 files open in Visual Studio at a time and it just loses me.
I noticed that the syntax and semantics of Lox and Monkey mostly don't conflict with each other, so I am making an interpreter that does both.

I also made a fully incremental static site generator, but this will probably never be something I can show off because it isn't cleanly divided into "library code" and "configuration for he specific sites it generates." It has no non-incremental mode. You might say "Performance is a non-issue for static site generators!", but incremental builds means you can make expensive operations like pngcrush part of your build without having to wait forever.
There is no Reddit community. Reddit is one of the largest and most popular sites on the web. There’s probably no subculture that isn’t represented there.
I generally lose respect for people who think caps-lock is an acceptable way to type messages to others. You should try looking for more descriptive words to get your point across.
Yes, like Dongarra's, for instance. I'll stop there.
Trail Router works great! I love that you can just drag the dot and it auto-generates a new route.
I think a big upgrade for both HN and Reddit would be so simply collapse all child comments by default and only show top-level comments. That way every person doesn't have to scroll past the first thread to find the second top-level discussion.

I don't think threads should be locked, though. There is nothing on Reddit more annoying than not being able to reply to someone because of an arbitrary decision (like a mod locking the entire submission). There are better solutions. But it just seems silly to shut down discussion when people want to have it on a social site.

Even sinking a thread to the bottom is better than locking it.

Funny that in Dutch probably (at least) some of these words do exist, I mean stuff like "week broodje" (mushy little bread) and "weekbroodje" (bread of the week) have a very different meaning based on the use of a space or not.

The Deno docs recommend creating a deps.ts file for your project (and it could be shared among multiple projects), which exports all your dependencies. Then in your application code, instead of importing from the long and unwieldy external URL, import everything from deps.ts, e.g.:

// deps.ts
export {
assert,
assertEquals,
assertStrContains,
} from "https://deno.land/std/testing/asserts.ts";

And then, in your application code:

import { assertEquals, runTests, test } from "./deps.ts";

> it was the_donald which was harrassed and abused because some authoritarian types wanted it off reddit

By googling around I can easily find that members of the_donald created a list of thousands of addresses and phone numbers of people who are anti-trump. Or is that 'fake news'? The thing that actually got the_donald quaranteened (not even banned!) were calls to violence..

> Hopefully all State Police in Oregon refuse, hes serious. No problems shooting a cop trying to strip rights from Citizens. If he calls for help I'd come.

How can you defend that? Are you just disregarding all that because you have to be victim somehow?

When did those other subs call for 'shooting cops'??

> Also, considering you aren't american, why are you so supportive of censoring political speech in the US?

The US political landscape has a direct effect on the rest of the world. If your political speech consists of racism, sexism, and calls to violence then I personally believe we should absolutely censor that.
I haven't looked into UE in quite some time as I use Unity for most of my stuff (not a game developer, just building quick prototypes for AI, simulations, dabbling in AR etc.) but the demo looks pretty stunning.

I tend to do a technology pass once a year or so to see if I might enjoy switching engines. From my last check my takeaway was that UE always seems more technically advanced but Unity is easier to work with/rapidly prototype. UE now seems to have a 1 million revenue barrier (I think for Unity it's 100k) which seems attractive for game devs. As a programmer the inclusion of ProBuilder/Grids in Unity is a godsent as I can quickly muddle together greyboxings and be done with graphics (combined with the recent Blender overhaul I almost feel like I'm semi-useful on the graphics/asset front now).

So quick question to the people who have used both (I'd also be interested in Godot feedback)...is that basic assessment still correct? Unity stronger for quicker prototyping, Unreal stronger high end? If I wasn't one person but a small team with an artist I'd probably pick UE as the artists will likely use their own tools and not build stuff in-engine.
Haven't read the article and I am not an avid Reddit user (just regularly frequents and posts every month in a sub dedicated to a boxing manga, anyway...) but I wonder: if the activity brings in money, wouldn't they just outsource it while keeping the keys ?

Session Buddy has been very helpful for me also! I can get dozens of tabs out of my face in seconds if I need to really focus on one or three things exclusively.

It's not super often that I go back through the tabs I store, but the peace of mind of knowing where they are is wonderful. I used to do this with text files (shudder).
Absolutely this ^^^
I was so angry at MS for taking away WunderList that I started to write a clone that looks 1:1 the same instead of using TODO. This time around the tech stack is React js as the UI with Springboot and MongoDB in the backend. Making great progress can do lists/task crud but lacking sync etc..

When you are accustomed to how things work and then forced to change its not fun. Current covid19 circumstances brought enough unwanted changes. This project started out as a fuck you to MS but it really turned into a fun project to keep my productively on track and also keep my mind busy.

The only shame is that I can't really "release" this cause it really looks like the original and the copyright vultures will waste no time coming for me. My best bet would be to change the UI design. BUT that would void the original purpose of the project.

"mycogeny was detected in liver urine and its recovery in lymph nodes remained unclear"

It’s not too far off Mycogen: As Asimov explains in Prelude to Foundation,[21] their name is formed from the Greek stems myco- (meaning 'yeast' or other types of fungi) and -gen (meaning 'maker' or 'producer').

Little known fact: you can take over any subreddit if the creator/mods haven't had had public activity in 60 days.

How? Just ask: https://old.reddit.com/r/redditrequest/

I took over some big subreddits this way and I've had big subreddits taken away from me because I forgot to log in and comment on the account I used to create it. Even though I was active on a non-creator/non-mod account. It's actually how I found out about the "feature".

A very poorly implemented feature given the potential value of subreddits and all the work it takes to grow one.

So if you run a subreddit that you care about, remember to assign some active mods even just to avoid someone taking over your subreddit.
It's literally unprecedented as a method for trying to deal with a respiratory infection, as far as I can tell. Test and trace worked for SARS and MERS, but they were much easier diseases to contain for various reasons and didn't require massive-scale testing and tracing as a result. It is not in any way, shape, or form part of the normal playbook for dealing with a pandemic like this.
