Sure, there's a place but it's been my experience that native apps have very complicated frameworks using complicated (and unsafe) languages. Qt and GTK both use C++ with other languages as am afterthought.

Web apps have an incredibly flat learning curve with an equivalent entry barrier. If the same were made for native apps, they'd be more popular.

Web apps aren't displacing things, they're filling a void.
Please keep regional swipes out of your posts here. It's needlessly provocative. HN's community is distributed all over the world; only 10% of it is in SV last I checked. The odds are higher that you're talking to someone who's geographically closer to you than either of you is to SV.
Using LLVM LIT in your project without building LLVM
Current tech is C++/WinRT, for this year, but last year it was WPF and five years ago it was XAML, then previously it was MFC/ATL, and original Win32 somewhere back in the old days.

And Linux isn't better. I think OSX is the only desktop OS that has an idea of what an app should look like.
In the hinterland there are many (relatively poor) owners (of small businesses, farms, shops). In the centers, there are salaried employees that are often richer than the hinterland's owners and very rich mega-owners, that are few. The divisions of interest of these classes are roughly represented in the blue/red map of the US.
> Isn’t “percentage of occupied beds w/ covid” a terrible metric?

It's not perfect, but in terms of the readily available data, it's not terrible.

> As states open up and elective surgeries, car accidents etc increase the denominator will inevitably increase

OTOH, there's a credible argument that that is a kind of positive progress itself. And, no, it's not inevitable that the denominator will go up if COVID already has hospitals at capacity.

> What is wrong with the much simpler metric of “number of beds used by covid patients”?

That's a good measure for any state, but bad for comparing conditions among states. Share of available hospital beds occupied by COVID-19 patients might be better, but “available” is not always clear since physical capacity and staffing and other support may not yield the same maximum. Because of required staffing ratios, etc.
Human graded is a generous way of describing what they do with free response. When I took ap tests a large part of the preparation was knowing exactly how they where going to grade the questions, and optimising answers to hit as many points on the answer key.
Indeed, I asked on another HN thread, why do you developers need so much RAM, and I got lots of good answers. But it occurs to me that a few lightweight, quick-starting apps will help me stave off the day when I have to get a new PC because my old one ran out of juice.

I'm not sure that's enough of a reason to develop a commercial app, because tightwads like me also like our stuff to be free.
Only part of it will be Java, probably the UI logic layer
I imagine it's because the hardware doesn't have enough context to know which virtual address spaces exist in which cores' TLBs. ASIDs were only added in the virtualization instructions on x86, and I can't think of an OS where those are the same namespace across cores.

A side reason is that it'd probably heavily complicate the top level TLBs to have "please flush yourself" coming from anywhere other than the core they're attached to, and those are in the critical path between L1 and L2.

Totally spitballing here FWIW, I haven't been part of the design process for a TLB.
Because you NEVER have to do that with browsers, right?
If it’s not, that’s fine. We can make another ‘not’ national id that does not have the same issues.

I sure do want that surgeon to have been presented/instructed on the common ways that surgeons before them have made mistakes and how to avoid or overcome them.

That they won’t tell me (the patient) is quite a different question from whether they got the material from someone more experienced in their primary or continuing medical education.
Haven't personally seen you do a critical takedown of an unsubstantiated comment before, rather than a polite reminder of the rules.

Its good. You should it do it occasionally to remind people that you know your stuff.

The problem with “privately owned public space” is that it tends to reduce demand for actual public space; the majority of people never do anything that would offend the land owner, so never see the problem, while e.g. political speech, actual freedom, and all the other great things we get out of public space are silenced.
Don't forget that most users do not get to choose what software they have to use (think internal software in a big company, or you have to use whatever company x gives you to deal with their cloud, etc). And most software designers do not use their own products (outside perhaps of software development products). So there is a "good enough for the dog" element in these designs.

> Let's say you go to get a surgery.

Shouldn't that be more like "Let's say you're learning to be a surgeon."?

For that situation, the person they're learning from discussing problems they hit and how they solved them does sound like it would be very useful.
Waste the company does not have to pay for is not waste as far as they are concerned. Customers rarely notice that kind of waste either, or at least not enough to do anything about it.
> That said, excess deaths are a reliable number, you can't fudge deaths.

Excess deaths aren't a reliable indicator of COVID-19 impact because of post hoc ergo propter hoc problems.
Governments are forcing companies like Facebook to act as a judge and decide what content is acceptable. Yes, I think that's stupid, but that's the reality.

If you want some sort of democratic method for deciding this stuff, you need to get governments to stop dumping the problems on companies.
Newspapers tend to write for a very low reading level. Flourish is nice for readers of a long novel (for whom the words are as important as the story itself), but the goal here is for as many people to understand the content as possible. That includes people that don't natively speak English, children, etc.
There are various attempts on county and state level to implement forms of (blockchain) based personal identification systems that would be flexible and reveal only the necessary information based on the recipient and issued by the state (Florida / Seminole county is working on such a system). But one big issue is definitely the lack of technological literacy in the ranks of government officials.
The most rational response for an XY problem is to answer both the X and the Y.
I can imagine a lot of ways it would make abusive administation easier. I cannot imagine any in which solely the ID facilitates the abuse.

It’s also much harder to just dissapear an ID than it is to disappear an unconnected body.
Stop building startups our world doesn’t need
CI/CD + uh... doing your job? I build one app (same codebase) on 4 different platforms often, it isn't terribly hard.
This is not really accurate. Qt relies on a lower level windowing system (X Window, Wayland, Cocoa, win32 etc. etc.).

Also worth noting that many creation-centric applications for the desktop (graphics, audio, video etc. etc.) don't look "native" even when they actually are. In one case (Logic Pro, from Apple), the "platform leading app from the platform creator" doesn't even look native!
The NC case was related to ballot harvesting which is illegal in NC and is discussed in detail in the link below.

Ballot harvesting is a practice celebrated and embraced by progressive democrats. Recent changes in California law make ballot harvesting easier and more susceptible to fraud. Now, according to headlines at least, the GOP is ramping up their efforts to get more into the ballot harvesting game too.

The NC case is described in some detail herein:

I use Lazarus for that

In theory it is great, you write the app once and then it runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, using a wrapper around each native GUI.

Unfortunately it is written in Pascal, so the community is tiny
Yeah so the EU can't do much about it.
Maybe, but are there statistics to support that? People point to things like the U.S. lagging on indicators like maternal and infant mortality, and life expectancy. But if you dig into the data, non-white Hispanics (which have a 20% uninsured rate) have similar maternal and infant mortality to whites (which have only a 5% uninsured rate). And hispanics have significantly longer life expectancy. American hispanics, despite widespread lack of insurance, live as long as people in Denmark or Sweden, who have comprehensive universal health care. Moreover, Asian Americans, which have a slightly higher uninsured rate than whites, live the longest of any people anywhere in the world. They live 2-3 years longer than people in Hong Kong or Japan. (And trust me, there is no secret health system for us Asians. We have the same shitty UHC or Cigna insurance everyone else does.)

There is a lot of rhetoric in this area, but few firm conclusions to be drawn.
> The article posits extraction of resources from the poor to the rich, including globally, and this is just wrong.

You might consider looking at the study reported here https://www.theguardian.com/global-development-professionals...

> In 2012, ... developing countries received a total of $1.3tn, including all aid, investment, and income from abroad. But that same year some $3.3tn flowed out of them. In other words, developing countries sent $2tn more to the rest of the world than they received. If we look at all years since 1980, these net outflows add up to an eye-popping total of $16.3tn – that’s how much money has been drained out of the global south over the past few decades.

No comments on how good the study is, because I am not an economist.
Deaths from COVID-19 can take weeks from the initial infection. I'm not disputing or supporting anything else in this thread, but "there aren't a lot of extra deaths" doesn't really offer much data either way. Maybe in a few weeks.
I’d argue that their bases did show up. There’s just too many people that like loudmouth pussy grabbing old men.
Global Entry is deeply problematic for exactly this reason, and all it does is speed you through a line at an airport!
It’s a single FRQ, which must be completed in 45 minutes and you get a calculator. I think if it’s a typical AP calc question, you’d have enough time to reference stuff.
And a number of other countries are not having success as well. The current state of the world isn't very compatible with a story where simply enacting the right policies brings a large outbreak under control. (After all, even long evidence-driven lockdowns aren't driving transmission in the US anywhere close to 0.)
Given that one of the options for Feedly is “Continue with Feedly”, which offers a “sign up” option where you provide a name, email, and password, I’m not sure what you mean about forcing social media access.
You are focusing on an example and conflating it with the actual point that I'm making, which is that electron is not only slow, but compounded by slow programming in top.

That being said... I know exactly what you are talking about and it was always strange to me, because it was actually iterating through every time to find a value first, so the iteration through the linked list would always kill the performance. Even so, basic linked lists are practically obsolete. This is not a good example of algorithmic complexity, because the complexities were actually the same.
That’s BS. We are way ahead of the US already. Real numbers are around 12x according to Fio Cruz institute.
I’m thinking that assessing is the wrong approach. If it could be baked into negotiations Instead the market could do it’s thing and find the proper price.
Having auctions continuously or frequently might be a bit aggressive, otoh only doing negotiations when changing “owners” might be to slow and produce odd incnentives. Not sure what the middle ground is though, 10-year leases?

Edit: Some of this is more or less what’s happening when buying a property based on a mortgage. The bank decides what the property might be worth, and what the new owner will be able to pay in rent. It must be possible to do slight adjustments in this scheme so that the rent ends up as tax instead.
I do a lot of things for free because I have the luxury of a job that pays well. Not everyone has that kind of freedom and if someone wants to put food on the table, then money has to be a factor. Otherwise you'd lock a lot of things to only people who have extra time to take risks on activities that won't get them anything in return. Saying not everything should be about money is a pretty privileged position.
SV has become not just a place, but a way of thinking endemic in software engineers and/or tech entrepreneurs. See the Californian Ideology for a similar related phenomenon.
> California’s reopen plan is gated by test and trace

California’s plan has multidimensional standards, it's not accurate to say it's “gated by test and trace”. But yes, the ability to effective monitor leading indicators of caseload and isolated the infected and exposed is fairly significant, and test is key to both and the trace part of test and trace an important factor in the second.
None of this stuff is in the past. It could be anywhere from 12 months to forever until we have a vaccine. We might have missed the boat on our first wave (in frankly, the most unforgivable way possible), but we still have lots of time to improve in case we get further waves. And we damned well better assume those are coming.
Usually professionals using text editors for their work are not concerned with the absolute keystroke-to-screen latency. It’s totally fine if it’s fast enough, and it is.
You could ask someone to review your code. Then you can refactor.

You could comment the hacked parts of the code. This will allow others or yourself to understand the novel implementation at a later time. I have encountered those sorts of comments before and they are helpful to understand the code and add a new trick to my knowledge.
It seems kinda wild to suggest a fair deal is making ever so slightly above minimum wage for an already established team, company, product, userbase, no?

My issue, I guess, is not with salary, but moreso the value add. 75k does not seem like enough to A.) Live on, really, B.) Extend runway, really, C.) "Fix the internet", really. I can understand trading in cash for agency, I would absolutely do it. But this doesn't really seem like that either, given that presumably lots of founders would need to either seek further funding or work second jobs.
These are Advanced Placement tests for college credit. Nothing future fucking about it.
Look. You only seem to want to make it complicated.

If your military is too expensive and not covered by LVT, just go ahead and add a specific tax to fund your military. If you can justify that it'll protect everybody then people will be fine with it.

Idea of LVT as a single or zero tax is a political move to get you thinking about better government funding schemes. You should think of "paying for specific services" instead of "pooling money and allocating them according to wishes of select few" as is the case of current tax systems.
Native apps are far superior to Web/Electron apps. Got 60 upvotes on HN before it was flagged so sharing it as a comment.

AP Physics (at least the algebra-based exams, never took calc based), is designed to be entirely theoretical. You are allowed a calculator, but I think I touched it once in the three hours. Everything used variables.

Had (a Turkish language, my then target language) random wikipedia page as my home page for a while, a year maybe.
Late comment. There is an audio book of Snow Crash that strikes the right tone (a bit flat?) and the humor of the work is not lost. Makes for the right amount of background noise for some coding activities if you've already read the book.

I am not looking forward to the TV show because it will be a different experience. (I watch very little TV these days anyway.) I will probably just avoid it. Altered Carbon had some success but I believe the second season is terrible despite it being my favorite book.
I would always say that the important thing is the paradigm you need to adopt when writing RTL. Whether it's VHDL or systemverilog, the differences are details. It's like programming C# vs Java, they have the same core concepts. But if you hand a C# Developer VHDL/SystemVerilog/Prolog they're not going to have a good time.
Yeah and this stops me pre-recording it how? I have a USB capture card that appears to the host machine just as a UVC webcam.
What makes you think we ever had the option to? Singapore's response was certainly better than the USA's, and the American equivalent of that would near-certainly have resulted in fewer deaths; but why do you think that explains most of the difference between the two countries' death rates?

In particular, how do you explain Japan? They barely locked down, and they're missing most of their cases so the contact tracing is at best reducing Reff by ~20% (per below). I personally suspect that Japan has benefited from some combination of masks, a culture of hygiene and distance, and the weather; but I'm far from confident, and disappointed to see others behaving with such apparent confidence in the face of all we don't know.
A naive desktop app is the deluxe option. It'll always be more efficient than even the best web-technology based app, because it can skip tens to hundreds of layers of abstractions (e.g. Javascript, HTML, CSS, DOM) if done right.

So the questions are:

- do your customers care about performance? (gaming, 3D animation, music editing)

- are resource limits relevant? (embedded systems, mixing desks, broadcast, dvr)

- are people concerned about battery life? (pagers, medical equipment)

If none of these reasons for native apply, you can probably make your users suffer through a web app, which will be much cheaper for you to produce and maintain.

That said, people definitely notice the sluggishness that all web apps have. I mean those 100ms from click to screen update. So your customers will most likely be able to intuitively feel if your app is native or not, with native feeling better.

For some groups of customers, this premium feel might be a decision factor. For example, Apple TV (super responsive) versus Netflix (objectively slow website).
You can’t have it both ways. If you need to monitor it and take corrective action (which you do) then you shouldn’t rely on it.

This is an argument for making your liveness probe == readiness probe. It should just check pod availability in a minimal way, and if continuing to send the pod traffic based on this indicator turns out bad because of congestion, you want to see that causing errors and react, not let the scheduler take it out of service for new traffic.

You want liveness & readiness to check the same thing, and it should be a non-trivial check of service health that is also very low latency. And as long as that check is passing, keep sending traffic.

When the check fails, it should always be for a “hard down” reason that tells you the pod could not, regardless of traffic levels, accept traffic because it’s fundamentally internally down.
In general the BBC prioritises simple writing, a reasonably low reading level, and common words to make it as accessible as possible. They don't pay much attention to ideas of artistic writing and they aren't looking to use a different adverb or adjective every time for the whimsical sake of it. It's a public news service, not a mid-atlantic magazine.
> We might have missed the boat on our first wave (in frankly, the most unforgivable way possible), but we still have lots of time to improve in case we get further waves.

In much of the country that isn't NYC, including many of the places aggressively reopening, the first wave hasn't even peaked yet, so it's not so much that we missed the boat on the first wave and are now into preparing for potential later waves, we’re still actively screwing up the first wave.
You’re saying the issue is more nuanced than it appears at first blush, requiring careful consideration taking into account cultural context then and now?! That’s preposterous, give us your 140 character hot take instead. :)
Yes, when you're leaning something you have to constantly refactor. It's part of the fun. You don't have hard deadlines so you don't have to get it right at the first time.
This article is very rapidly visiting a bunch of ideas that are discussed in leftist circles. I don't think it does a very good job tying them together and it's a very poor introduction to these ideas.

But it's not just nonsense. There is evidence of this theory working in international affairs. The idea is that there is an informal global government that functions largely by the control of federated groups. By and large these groups are corporate but they may also be governments, power blocks within national governments, NGOs and individuals. These groups manipulate international law to receive benefits and defer consequences. They are responsible directly for the structure many peoples way of life. They get laws made and unmade. They affect the fortunes and misfortunes of countries.

It is a kind of feudalism because the entities setting out the parameters of people's lives are powerful groups who are using international law and economic influence to circumvent local and democratic forms of control. So power is determined by am entity's wealth, existing influence and ability to accrue more wealth and influence. Rather than a Nobel elite there is a professional or plutocratic elite.

There isn't a grand conspiracy at work but rather lots of small coordinated efforts to enrich interests and accumulate influence.

It can sound crankish but there are definitely some disturbing examples that have surfaced and lend credibility. The case of Steven Donziger is a recent example. Interesting and kind of scary case to read up on.

A historic example is how for nearly 100 years despite that adminstrations come and go that U.S. foreign policy in South and Central America has consistently benefited American business. From raw imperialism at the turn of the century through 1940s "good neighbor" policies that benefited United Fruit through the Commie busting Reagan era. Strange how despite varying ideologies and international objectives American foreign policy redounds to the benefit of large companies that try to monopolize natural resources and oppose any laws that might keep economic power local to those countries.

Anyway, the whole theory might be crap but again I don't think it's complete nonsense. This is just a poor introduction.
>Not quite. Anyone can still start a website and sell a product without a digital overlord. In fact, there are less barriers to entry than there were a decade ago. Most people choose to give control to companies like Amazon because it's easier and more convenient.
