Thanks for your comment. That's a good way to break down the value of it, and yes there is certainly an increased risk level during this huge downturn.

There's a few aspects that make it difficult for me to assess. Right now, I feel kind of uncomfortable.. I feel as if I'm in a position which, at least outside of my org, is much more difficult to obtain without a graduate degree, and I don't think I'd enjoy doing a master's in stats etc. I like that software dev has less credentialism in that you can go very far with just a bachelors, or even without, providing you have the skills etc.

Though, if I did go the self taught route, I would not be able to remain in (most of, probably) the public sector or my org, whereas if I got the degree I could potentially come back to my position (with changed duties) or another in my org. But I could get up to 1 year of unpaid leave to try it out, and return to my position (same duties) if I wanted to. I'm also uncertain as to what degree Canadian employers are open to a self taught dev. Is this more accepted in the USA I wonder.

The other thing is, I've been through two reorgs already. Although things are good now, that can quickly change with a bad manager, and I feel like with the CS degree it'd be easier for me to quickly get a different job elsewhere.

One much cheaper alternative for me, which would take a lot longer, is to do a few core online CS courses and apply to Georgia Tech's OMSCS, but that would be completed ~ 4 yrs from now. Doing the CFA exams while working full time took a lot out of me - I'm afraid I'd constantly have doubts if it wasn't a full time program that I can just hammer out and get done. It can be hard to evaluate where you're at when you're self taught too I think.
Deaths going down is only one thing that needs to occur.

And, by the way, deaths going down is doing so soooo slowly because we really didn't get the R0 much 1.0. If people had actually locked down PROPERLY, deaths would be dropping much faster.

In addition, you need testing and contact tracers. You also need abundant personal protective equipment in your health providers for if you get a spike.

The problem is that the US federal government squandered 60 days in which it should have been filling those other criteria.
SK Hynix to Apply KAIST’s AI-Based Solutions to Chipmaking
Contrary to the impression I seem to have given you, I'm actually super excited about Deno and am planning to write my next MVP app in it.

That means that I am actually a lot more vested into it, and if I want to put it in production, then I have to be concerned about things like this.

When somebody says they think X is broken, and they present a solution Y which they say is better, I am definitely entitled to ask why they think Y is better when I can't see the difference.
I find this attitude incredibly arrogant and toxic. Why wouldn't a 15 year old be able to experience a burnout? I don't think this is age related at all. If anything a 15 year old that goes to school and has a dev job should be more likely to burnout.
Well we all know holding you arm straight up or holding it out perpendicular to your body for 30 seconds are very different in terms of effort, perceived force, and pain. I think that's what they were going for.

Yes, the legislature would have to pass a law. But in the US this would be unconstitutional due to the right to assemble.

I suppose the temperature of the ginger juice & milk mixture was not in the correct range for the gel to form. To make the dish reliably, I suppose one would need to make several servings, use the same volume of ginger and milk for each, and adjust the temperature of the milk to achieve the correct temperature of ginger & milk mixture. Unless you're lucky, the first one or two servings won't set. If their temperature is too low, you could try to use a microwave oven to heat them to the proper temperature.

I had a terrible, deep-history bug cause problems with one of my Office 365-using clients about six months ago. It was a genuine PITA to troubleshoot.

Once we figured out the source of the problem, I was on the phone with someone from Microsoft who knew exactly what I was talking about, and the available workarounds, within the hour.

My clients continue to use Office 365.
But you're completely ignoring the point that even without the all http(s) permission they will still be kicked off the store, so that has nothing do do with the issue at hand.

If localhost is the issue, Google could literally respond exactly the way you did and the problem is gone, "why do you need http://localhost/?"

This isn't about permissions at all. This is about communication and whether it's worth putting effort and trust into a company that acts like this as SOP.
What extra powers would you need to order people to stay home, if you can already order them not to assemble publicly?
For the use-case you describe, your just going to need network access: no file access and no process-forking needed, this is a big surface attack reduction.

Moreover Idk how granular the network permission is, but if its implementation is smart, you could block almost all outbound network access except the ones to your DB and the few API you may need to contact.
I think it’s fairly well understood that it’s more or less a rubber stamp process[0]

I’d wager a phone call or email is likely all that was needed in many cases.

By “no one” I mean some sort of counter-balancing entity.

I’m not sure why you think I’m acting like this didn’t exist under multiple administrations. I’m aware of that, and not OK with any of it.

I was not OK with original passing of the patriot act, or the continued renewal by both parties.

Look elsewhere for partisanship, I’m an equal opportunity dissenter.

I don't see why all those things need to happen before the Wisconsin legislature is allowed to have a say. The state can still have a stay-at-home order if the legislature thinks it's needed.
> he's explaining that acting responsible puts him in positions of responsibility

It could be taken that way, but the problem is that the author deliberately puts it in terms that make that ambiguous.

A much less ambiguous way to put it would have been:

1. Help out an existing admin by fixing something they care about fixing but are too busy to fix themselves.

2. Repeat step 1. enough times that there is general recognition in the organization that you can fix problems and will do so responsibly.

3. Approach the powers that be and point to your track record established in steps 1. and 2. as evidence that (a) another admin is needed to help carry the load, and (b) you are the right person for that job.

4. Get appointed as an admin.

The author's process might be essentially the same as the above, but it might not; there are various signs in his writeup of the latter, that might be valid signs or might just be his whimsical way of speaking. And if his process isn't the same as the above, then he's doing more than just acting responsible and thereby earning positions of responsibility.

Where the real divergence comes is this:

"8. Make sure to keep helping out anyone who wants to fix problems with the system. If you become a roadblocker, you will allow someone else to do step #1 and you might lose your access when that person reaches step #6."

Notice that in my steps 1. through 4. above, no existing admins get punted. So there's no need for someone who reaches my step 4. to take steps to prevent others from starting at my step 1. and working their way through the process. And someone who was genuinely concerned for the well-being of the organization would be open to the possibility that, just as the admins who were there before him weren't able to take care of all the problems, there might come a time when the admins including him might not be able to either.

What special knowledge do you think you need to interpret 5 months of COVID studies? That's almost two semesters of grad school.

You don't need a PhD to gain enough knowledge of covid from literature to speculate meaningfully on an internet forum, especially if you already have a graduate degree and practice research, as many people undoubtedly on HN do.
Just a reminder that if you're upset about this, politics is an active process. I'm going to look up my senator's votes right now and send them an email if they were one of the nay votes.
Typesetting Markdown – Part 8: Annotations
I think people should be aware of sunlight and vitamin D.

Lots of old people never go out in the sun, and that could be a huge contributing factor.

From wikipedia[1]

Adequate amounts of vitamin D can be produced with moderate sun exposure to the face, arms and legs, averaging 5–30 minutes twice per week, or approximately 25% of the time for minimal sunburn.

NPM is a dependency management failure which is why you are ending up with hundreds of dependencies in the first place. It sounds like you want to reproduce that insanity in Deno. Deno is set up in such a way to dissuade you from the stupidity by default but allow it in very few steps if you cannot imagine a world without it.

In my opinion this is Deno’s biggest selling point.
This isn’t true, they encourage you to run source builds instead of the editor and you are free to modify the engine for your projects as needed. In fact they’re even generous enough to allow you to post up to 30 lines of engine code in public forums.

The city (major suburb) I used to live in has done this with all the intersections that lead into the city, effectively making it impossible to enter or leave the city without them having a record of it. I know they are able to scan license plates from these cameras -- and do so automatically -- because it's how they are able to "catch" people trying to use those 3M strobe lights that ambulances and fire trucks use to make the lights turn green: An intersection detects the use of the strobe, but also is able to know that no (deployed) emergency vehicle is near that intersection, so it automatically "calls" the police department with the license plate of the offender. This information was buried on that city's website in a bunch of short videos the traffic engineers made about their new gee-whiz traffic management system.

Which, by the way, many municipalities are building (or have already built) "new gee-whiz traffic management systems" which are Orwellian nightmare machines. They seem to be flying well under the radar because everybody hates traffic, and especially because nobody is allowed into the new traffic management buildings for tours, to see the capabilities of the system that seem to be hooked directly into law enforcement's computers.
> If the legislature resists, or the court doesn't grant the stay, that sucks, the bars and restaurants will open, people will get sick and die. Or maybe the Republicans will turn out correct and everything is fine.

This assertion needs a citation. If this should be true either hospitalization must be so high that it overwhelms the health system, which was the original justification for the lockdown, or death rate must be high.

The 1.5 week old CDC report [1] shows same hospitalization rate as the flu for the vulnerable 65+ population, and less for the vulnerable <18 year population.

Stanford study [2] shows same death rate as flu.

At this point most states have partially reopened [3] and we are not seeing a surge in COVID cases.

I think document is good for filling the details, but it will not solve all the problem . And I kind of hate Architect with an extreme authority from top to the bottom and just assume people know everything. From my experience, casual communication between developers is an important factor in software development.

The perfect role of architect I believe is an individual contributor. People just come to ask your idea and respect you to make the majority of design. And you need to help other to understand your idea.
Seems like there is a consensus in this thread that shelter in place is legal, though stay at home may not be.

Unreal Tournament 2021 exists, it is Fortnite.

Dont't see it? The Unreal Tournament is the team which released the Battle Royale version of Fortnite. Hence why Fortnite has bouncy, fast, area-ish gameplay.

Sure it is different, but if you do not want any changes from the old Tournament games, just go play those.
Uhh, people are still allowed to go outside. The so called ‘stay at home orders’ are just using that name.
I see these people coming. They are motivated by power for its own sake, and their playbook is limited.

True, but that's what people using Go have been doing for years without complaining much, so I guess it works fine for most workload.

And before npm fixed things after the left-pad incident, the npm builds where not reproducible either (as demonstrated by the said left-pad incident).
There was a comprehensive literature review posted on /r/coronavirus some two months ago that strong (and statistically robust in my opinion as a professional data scientist) indicating that smokers were less likely to be infected with the virus, with possible mechanisms from previous viruses like SARS and MERS.

In fact that was one of the earliest common sources to mention ACE2 receptors. A month or so later there is at least one study looking at nicotine patches as prophylactic and/or treatment for covid. I'm having trouble finding the reddit thread, standby.

And both Grammarly and LastPass have had security bugs that let any website worm their way into the extension and access all the data from the extension (anything you've ever typed, for Grammarly, and all your passwords, for LastPass). Extensions with wide-ranging access are useful, and there's a reason Chrome has support for it, but they're also very very hard to get right, even if your entire business is writing a security-focused browser extension.

You could go the approach Firefox is going on mobile where there are currently six vetted extensions. As it turns out, they all need access to every website (or fine-grained APIs, perhaps). But... there are six of them. https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2020/04/14/april-extensions-...

So clever! But, obviously we're talking about making a good-faith effort to secure servers while allowing them to provide their intended functions.

I think it is just how you ask questions too.

If (not debating the one in Wisc here just generally) a government tries to enforce a power they don't have or didn't go through the actual process to use it ... there's not much sense in debating it's constitutionality as that's sort of moot as the context is all lost at that point.

I imagine if you didn't stop there it would just be constitutional precedent setting left and right for things you didn't need to do that for.

Granted there are exceptions, I have seen decisions in extreme cases where the decision does say "even if you had gone through the process... you probably still couldn't do that".
Maybe I'm just unlucky, but I found the first three words very unimpressive and unconvincing.

Their business isn't food delivery but food distribution. The restaurants are paying for a spot on their webpage (some of these companies don't deliver, and charge the same price i.e. Just Eat).

I think this idea does apply to any model where the distribution/search costs are minimal i.e. Uber/Lyft. I think Lyft is a great business btw but their costs are totally wrong (i.e. they don't really need hundreds of software engineers milking the company dry).
At least Android allows sideloading without using the Play Store. Chrome used to allow this, and I believe they've made it much more difficult.
I mean where are "people who are either well-informed or resourceful enough to explore the subject", and why are they not raising the obvious question of violation of the consitution.
How is it any different than how it works in the browser?
It said there were spares for all systems. So, evidently the spare didn't fail.
I like your first 2 pieces of advice, but hate your third. Build things that are useful, and do your best to make them things you like. Process be damned. And keep on keepin' on.
I'd highly recommend mirroring packages anyway. Obviously this isn't always necessary for small projects, but if you're building a product, the laws of the universe basically mandate that centralized package management will screw you over, usually at the worst possible time.

You're right, but I think it is way too early to make a call on that. I would expect the cost to diminish dramatically over time with selective breeding and the knowledge gained through experience.

Well, that was before they added acme-client, which works out of the box, more or less:

https://man.openbsd.org/acme-client.1

I chose the bash client over the python client because I didn’t want to use pip to pull unvetted software from randos on the Internet. (Also, I hate python, and eliminating use cases for it makes me happy.)

Anyway, the bash script is still quite popular, and is extremely reliable. Since I used it, they eliminated the bash dependency, and now it is unix shell compliant:

https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh

I would definitely use it in the future if I was configuring a Linux box to renew certificates.

The breakages I encountered were all on the Let’s Encrypt side, and broke all the clients, including the official one.

Anyway, it has been trivial to use Let’s Encrypt with OpenBSD for many years.
