That's quite a stretch. To quarter means to live somewhere not to violently search something.

IANAL but naively i would think that "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects,[a] against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated..." would be applicable, since its kind of unreasonsble to do a no-knock warrant when a normal search would be fully sufficient.
"Hi, I'm building <X> and I'm trying to understand the industry's pain points better. Would <solution> be helpful? Is there something else that would be useful to your business?"

Something like that. Ask specific questions if you want answers. Make it easy for them to write a one- or two-sentence reply and you'll get paragraphs of valuable information back.

If you have mongodb enterprise you can use Mongo bi connector and connect it with any bi tool. I recommend metabase since it is open source and very good for slice and dice and reports.

I'm in the UK, and have long been a "no contract" user. I've saved literally thousands from buying the phone outright and using pay as you go variants [2].

I currently use giffgaff, who offer "goodybags" [1] which are essentially sim-only deals that last a month for comparable or cheaper prices than contract phones.

When the lockdown was announced I dropped from £12/mo to £0/mo. I have roughly £8 credit on my phone and haven't used it.

[2] most phones are cheaper to own this way, even factoring in all sorts of risk. The exceptions are phones specifically targetted to make the most of the loan setup; from experience the top of the line iPhones have always been cheaper on contract.
I've had a similar experience.

I used to meticulously sort and tag individual bookmarks but rarely review them. Storing sessions and other "playlists" of bookmarks puts them in a form that I actually return to.

Plus this method takes far less time and effort than tagging and bagging pages according to an ever-expanding set of custom taxonomies.

I'm sure others have been using bookmarks this way for a while but it felt like a revelation to me :)

GIFs sucks. Most popular GIFs are video chunks played in loop. So reverse the process and convert GIF to video. With web app as 011.video for instance you can reduce the file size by a factor of 10 easily, just upload GIF, resize and download WebM video. Even better, for your own website use the original video chunk, play it in loops and make it clickable with HTML 5.
I finally burnt out completely on all television -- the programming, scheduling, content, advertising -- a few years back whilst travelling.

Async def are not colored functions in python.

In fact there are not function at all, just like generators are not.

Also coroutines can be called from functions and vice versa. You don't have to choose.

The problem is not the color. The problem is the default paradigm is to be blocking I/O, and you add non blocking on top. It's way easier to make everything non blocking, then add blocking things on top.

It's not a matter of syntax, but of core paradigm.

Go and erlang were designed from the non blocking perspective from the get go.

But even go add to use something to manage async control flow, so it uses channels, which you don't need if you have coroutines.

Erland went deeper and made everything immutable, and baked in actors in the runtime. To me that's more impressive.

This is pattern from this current crop of hyper-partisan political leadership

Whether it’s stuff like this, crapping on journalists for asking legit questions, concealing or even destroying climate data, etc these folks should not be trusted with anything of consequence under any circumstances.

The fish rots from the head— even presuming this was the handiwork of some political appointee/apparatchik/barnacle who wanted to make sure there is no “bad news”, they got their cue from higher up the food chain.

You’d figure a genuine crisis like this might shake these folks out of their stupor but no luck yet.

Many folks are stressed af about the economy & there needs to be be a cost/benefit way to measure the risks, etc but this is no good.

This is the kind of shady/moronic behavior you’d expect in a political ecosystem like China, Russia, Turkey, etc
Years ago I read about something like this. A blind man was even able to drive a car (I think it was the researcher's) around a parking lot. IIRC it had a limited framerate so he wouldn't be able to actually drive anywhere with it

We speak to them a few times a year, it was just kinda mentioned that some changes were coming to leaderboards. We had been considering using some of the learderboard stuff, so it was fortunate for us that they mentioned it.

I can answer this in two parts, as we are both consumers of the Strava API, as well as providing an API (of non-strava data) to other businesses.

When using another API, you always have to be prepared for that data to not be available. This isn't just from a business point of view, but technical as well. Will a change in their API cause your entire app to fall over?

Even with our Strava integration, if Strava cut off access, the users can still upload their GPX tracks directly, so it would definitely hurt, but not take us down completely.

When we are working on our own API, man..I'll be honest, it's hard. From a technical perspective managing lots of versions running at the same time can be a pain, and add quite a bit of challenge to engineering. We have had to remove features, and we've reached out to our API users who use those features to say they are going away (or sometimes we just turn them off, and nobody notices).

When we've had to turn off features, it's usually a business case, just like Strava, and to be honest, our customers have understood why we make the change, and have been accepting of it.

Sounds like you're a Strava user, we built https://ayvri.com
“Asia” isn’t one place. Only Japan has napping culture.
It's getting harder to trust any data coming from state officials as they move to censor or manipulate it so that they can make a better case for reopening too soon. A lot of this tension can be seen as local governments attempt to implement their own coronavirus restrictions only for the state to override them like here in Texas.

I'm assuming the plan is that when we inevitably get hit by a second wave they can just blame the businesses or the counties for not doing a good enough job or something. Considering how much of a joke the reopening guidelines have been and how little the state is willing to enforce them.
One interesting artefact of the old GDS interface is that the commands are position based. The field for the amount of people in a group booking is only length 1, so virtually no airline supports group booking of more than 9 people in their standard online flow.

Another place where this leaks through is if your initials are similar to "Mr", you'll get very strange tickets once in a while because the system doesn't actually have the components of your name in separate fields. It parses them from a text command.

The NDS change should solve all of these things, but it's a costly exercise so expect it to be delayed by the current downturn in the travel sector.
Is Uberman an app or are you referring yourself as ubermensch?
Thanks for the well-wishes.

I'm a bit confused here:

"YouTube filtering slurs and hateful memes"

"I didn't call it a slur."

"And thus, when the rallying cry is sounded for the non-event of a crude slur being censored..."

Are you calling it a slur or not?

Also, good catch -- above I mistyped "crybaby" when I meant "crybully". I can't stand watching an totalitarian party like the CCP hide its crimes behind this language of anti-bigotry, all this "slurs and hateful memes" business to silence criticism. The oppressor gets to play a victim role, and it all feels topsy-turvy.

Of course, if this ploy backfires and forces the CCP's critics to hone their arguments to the level of discourse you and I both love on HN (and which you seem to think is within reach for YouTube), that's great, everyone wins.

And you're right, "b.s." was a too harsh and probably violates the guidelines. Retracted.

"what I agree is a problem: a government that forces citizens to literally watch their backs after they voice their mind is influencing countries and companies abroad"

It's hard for me not to be hateful and angry about it, as you've recognized. It's hard to know what people can do when no employee at any multinational company, in any jurisdiction, is free to speak out publicly without fear of retaliation. I sympathize with people going around posting this phrase, even if it's low effort and stinks a little of regional prejudice and of less democratic times in Taiwan's history.

I'm curious, what do you think are the best tactics counteract the CCP clout? What could those YouTube posters be doing instead?

I'm not familiar with PVT, and from the description I thought it seemed itself like a simple (if boring) videogame - or at least measured a subset of similar skills, like reaction time and attention lapse.

Didn't mean to come across as dismissive; I really am interested in broader metrics on this stuff. But don't deprive yourself again just for our sake. Thanks for your work, for reiterating the SAT piece, and for stimulating some great HN discussion.

(ps. You attributed some of the minor, sleep-deprived PVT and SAT deterioration to "getting lost in thought". Do you think you'd encounter the same degree of boredom or drifting focus if you did them again post-experiment, in a well-rested state?)

There are thousands of articles on the classical command line tools grep, awk etc. With a subject "Linux Productivity Tools" I think this was both on topic and valuable.
Can you expand on your notion of what is and is not a colored function?

I might use this test: When I wish to add a call to a function that yields control other than by returning to the middle of a regular function, so that the latter portion of the regular function can use the results of yielding, do I then have to change the function declaration and every single call site?

You clearly disagree. What test should we use?

> my most recent employer had someone under qualified as the devops lead so we had to use pfSense, an endless source of frustration of issues that couldn’t be addressed, but that I knew exactly how to address with OpenBSD [...]

I, for one, think your employer and the “DevOps lead” were advocating for using the wrong technology. pfSense software is many things, to many people, but if it’s not written for a DevOps environment.

And you can tell your ex-employer that i said so. /s

That's the benefit of integrating async in the runtime itself. It abstracts it from the language, which doesn't have to know about it. Just like a GC abstract memory handling.

But why Florida, though? I can understand more rural states, but has the GOP made a spreadsheet that determined the number of elderly GOP voters who will die by reopening early will be cancelled-out by younger swing-voters who would vote for Trump's second-term because they reopened Florida early? Or do the models suggest that they'll die _after_ the election? Or will they do early re-openings only in Dem-leaning population centers?

It really is startling how reviled this sort of comment tends to be, despite the overarching trend of Republican leadership to systemically misrepresent and falsify data to support their views.
