Yes, there is. However, you should not be worried. I mean, as a western citizen, I prefer my data to be in the hands of a government which has nothing to do with me, instead of my own government.

That's what this is all about. Trump wasn't banning Huawei so the Chinese couldn't spy on you. He did it so HE could spy on you.
I stumbled upon this article on readability recently [1]. It mentioned an interesting "rule" about what the optimal typeface width is for readability.

Apparently the "rule" is that the lowercase alphabet should take up about 13 em of space.

From this image [2], you can see that Nimbus Roman No9 (which is a Times New Roman clone) is a little bit narrower than that.
It would be interesting to see what the lowercase alphabet width is of the fonts proposed in the OP. Especially since the author noted that one of the criticisms of Times New Roman is that it's "too narrow".

Yet an Other Website Generator
I've been building a "markdown-driven blog generator" with minimal mindset.

There's no "templating engine", plugin system or bloated options, just "optional" functions to render partial parts of a post" (default are provided)
"There is no non broken way to provide a backdoor for government while actually retaining meaningful security in the long run"

I actually agree with you on this. I was personally involved in the past to advocate for stronger encryption ( https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/library/cyber/we... [1997]).

However, law enforcement agencies around the world see "broken" ways to achieve this as a 'lesser of two evils' trade-off. Am I too paranoid (I hope I am) to envisage a scenario where Sam, our friendly US law enforcement officer asks Sheila, his friendly AU counterpart to request a copy of the conversation obtained through technical capability and assistance notices and share it back under 5 eyes agreements? Add the pending bilateral CLOUD act for an extra spicy double exchange sandwich?
I would suggest to test the cloud version with some dummy data first, so that you know that the application is ok for you. On premise version is also available, but not for free. You will also need either some Linux know how or my support to install, maintain and keep your installation updated.
Compilation is performed concurrently to the application in specialised compilation threads. Only OSR (on-stack-replacement) requires stopping execution.

Why is this not a client thing?

Edit: Civility
Hear, hear. It's particularly ridiculous since some large portion of the people who end up with a counterfeit bill have no idea that it's fake...

Once I pulled out a bunch of cash in a bar and exactly one bill, a $5, glowed brightly under the black light in the bar. I'd already handed it to the bar owner and I said, "Oh, that one must be a fake, I'll take it back" and he said, "No, it's fine." I was surprised!

(Under my fingers too, it was an obvious fake, but I didn't react in time.)

1985 Version of Biff Tannen in ‘Back to the Future Part II’ Based on D. Trump
This aged badly:

However, no matter how anyone hates Trump opening his mouth in the political arena and getting any traction as a real presidential candidate, the comparison feels a little harsh. After all, while Trump may be arrogant and insulting about a lot of things, it would take a lot for him to turn the United States into a dystopian wasteland like alternate 1985 Hill Valley.

The death of Zoom means the dominance of Teams. Hope we're happy with the trade.
I understand your point, but need to disagree: PR-friendliness can have real-world implications, such as a stronger negative response of Zoom users.

Another important thing to consider: Zoom is probably aware of the risks involved in this decision and, despite the PR risks, decided to go ahead. Why? Most of us here can come up with a couple of reasons.
Where I live you have to send the places and waypoints your protest will take before you start one so that emergency services can route around protest and have some units on standby in case things go wrong.

> Not disagreeing with you there, since stopping to compile code/optimize at runtime contributes to sluggish interactive performance.

No JVM I am aware of stops to compile - the compiler runs on a background thread while the application continues to run as normal.
Which is a fairly ambiguous question and could be interpreted several ways so I went mainly for the E2E case (as it's the new thing).

Could also be interpreted as how can we show only paid users can access it? Or that certain features will be disabled with E2E?

What I replied with covers both E2E and the current state equally tbh (the linked article did it before with ECB). There are always limitations to what is possible.

I could break into the Zoom servers to make sure everything is kosher. But that's illegal.

If WhatsApp started transmitting E2E keys back to their servers people would find that out client side through network packet inspection, not server side.

Security researchers are limited in the tools/methods they can use. We have to work with what we've got at our disposal.

I recently decided to make a simple hand built personal private multi-host capable cloud system. I'm really liking how things are going and would like input. What input does the hacker news community have for this project? The intent is to create a repository maintaining contemporary resources for handcrafting and maintaining in a manageable way a personal multi-host capable private cloud system that's accessible internally and externally. P.S. I've found similar projects I'd like to go over in more detail, many of which I looked into briefly but not found in them just what I'm going for, if you're interested in them there's a link to most at the bottom of the git readme. Thanks HN!
Thank you. It is an Angular 9 SPA frontend with a .NET Core backend and an SQL database (MySQL or SQLITE) as a data store. I use several open source libraries. Handsontable is used to display the grid for example. A complete list is available in the help->about dialog.
So maybe all the protesters against police violence should arm themselves. But considering how eagerly US police uses "I thought they had a gun" as a reason to shoot someone, I fear it would turn into a massacre.

People have done tests with white people and black people open carrying in exactly the same way. Black open carriers got a very different police response.

Well, I live in Stockholm and here is what I see: during the first few weeks (maybe a month) people really followed the rules. There were significantly fewer cars on roads, some parts of the city looked as if completely abandoned etc. But then the weather's become better, people have got tired of restrictions - and now it is back to usual (I don't dare say "normal"). But people are still much more careful than they were before COVID.
What makes me feel good about Tegnell is that schools were not forcefully closed, otherwise economic hit would be much bigger.

If only that were what the MBPs actually did. The real rule is, dGPU when plugged in, iGPU when on battery, _unless of course Chrome feels like forcing the GPU on for no good reason, which it will do multiple times per day_ (any app _can_ do this, but in my experience it's mostly only Chrome, and sometimes electron nonsense, that does).
Scam companies are making several hundred dollars per victim, so the ROI on an EV code signing certificate is pretty good in that context. I can’t count the number of PCs I’ve helped people fix because they’re infected with some fake antivirus that came in with an EV code signing certificate.

And who cares if you guys crush 10 or 50 or 100 small developers for every malware distributor that gets stopped, right?

SmartScreen is a bad solution. The underlying issue is the pathetic identity validation industry where $ = reputation. All SmartScreen does is add popular = reputation on top of that. Both suck!

What we need for modern software development is a proper identity validation system that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg and lets us tie the validation to our developer accounts and long lived digital identities.

Code signing is good for the rent seekers charging a fortune to provide terrible service. SmartScreen is an awful black box that you think is good because you worked on it and are privy to the internals.

Maybe it was well intentioned when it started, but now SmartScreen is a a non-issue for industrial sized malware distributors, but is devastating for small, independent developers.

Why would a dedicated camera need to take huge numbers of photos to overcome sensor noise when it's not there in the first place?

No, I think that's a bad example to choose. I do take your point, dedicated camera development is more conservative, but their market is different. If you splurge £10k on a camera system, you are likely a pro, and you want consistency, and longevity to the design and the operation of the system.

Thinking about it, dedicated cameras have mainly been innovating in video production rather than stills in the last 5 years.

Does anyone know where the strange name VisualAge came from?

Of course there has been improvement in absolute terms, but our current state is much more than just that, which skews the results when thinking about where we are. The opinion is definitely not popular on hackernews, but I still want to throw it out there.

Cheap SSDs can tank below 70MB/s after cache, which is less than a gigabit connection, so it can totally affect your performance even in the smallest local networks.

You don't have to sustain writes for long at all to start seeing the compromises hidden in cheap SSDs, especially if they're using their TLC as SLC cache, in which case you run out faster and faster.
@ryansolid What minimum browser versions does the library support
There are at least 2 different perspectives to look at Sweden's strategy.

One is the long term view: Whether Sweden's approach will, when this pandemic is over, turn out to have produced a "better" outcome in regards to e.g. fatalities, severely sick, people who need rehab, economic performance and societal stability, in comparison to other countries. As is frequently being emphasized: It's too early for a verdict here. We'll know in hindsight.

But then there is another perspective: The one based on risk-reward, and based on what is the right thing to do in the moment for a democratic, humanist society that generally promotes values based on protecting lives, particularly of the weak.

Confronted with a new, evidently potentially very dangerous virus about which few things were known other than it created chaos in various places and led to many deaths, Sweden chose a gamble based on a rather bad risk-reward distribution. Let's say Sweden will turn out to be "right" in the long term (meaning other countries will eventually also end up with similar numbers of fatalities/infected per capita), then the reward will be at best moderate: A slightly better economy (as an export-nation, Sweden's economy suffers when other countries shut down regardless of Sweden's own strategy) and a bit more individual freedom for people to do what they wanted even during crisis times.

But if Sweden should turn out to be wrong (meaning that other countries manage to keep numbers of fatalities/severely sick much lower indefinitely, and economies will only do a bit worse, until we have a vaccine, or until the virus has mutated to become much weaker), then the downside is gigantic: Thousands of people whose life could have been saved, thousands more who had to fall severely sick who could have been spared this experience, a damaged global reputation (which is one of the most important things for Swedes: What others think of their country) as well as a moral identity crisis (because how to justify future signaling of moral superiority if one has just sacrificed thousands for an utilitarian ideal?!).

Ethics and moral aside, choosing a strategy with such a bad distribution of reward and risk strikes me as highly dubious.

Furthermore, based on my own personal ethical/moral set of values, the damage is done. Even IF Sweden will look better once we'll be out of the pandemic, the whole strategy was inevitably based on an ethically questionable gamble, which could have gone either way, and which as I see it sets a rather concerning precedent.

If one crosses a highly trafficked street with closed eyes, even if one makes it to the other side unharmed, the worst outcome is if one concludes that this was smart and should be repeated again in the future.

As I see it, Sweden went on a dangerous path, historically taken by those who turned out to be on the wrong side of history.
I moved from Germany to Sweden in 2006 but I’m not sure anymore if this is a great country for the future. And it’s emotionally very tough on me having to confront those thoughts.

Ask HN: Is this a death threat or a Google Voice transcription glitch?
I received a Google Voice voicemail, with the transcript being:

> Thursday Thursday Thursday Thursday Thursday Thursday Thursday Thursday Thursday Thursday Thursday Thursday dead dead dead. Thursday Thursday Yep. Thursday

Here's a screenshot: https://imgur.com/7OYb5x7

When playing back the audio, it appears to be precisely 3 minutes of background noise, and I can hear the audio track loop and restart several times.

Here's the audio: https://clyp.it/zlvkq4xa?token=b1c9921e08c08ba0e96bfd8d805096da

Is this intentionally designed to get Google Voice to transcribe it as a death threat?

> The mixing between parenthesis and braces and the lack of standard indentation makes some derivations really hard to read.

For sure, you're absolutely right. I'm just saying that doing that in Python would have exacerbated the problem, not made it better. (Imagine someone taking the full power of Python and unleashing it on the derivation writing process, yuck.)
No. Different GPUs support different features (especially NVidia who still can't just use MESA like all the reasonable people) and have different hardware characteristics, so you can't just move applications back and forth on a whim.
I agree with the GP but for a different reason. It's unacceptable to me that I have to buy a separate trigger so I can take exposures 31 seconds long. There's no reason why the timer should only go up to 30, or that I shouldn't have better bracketing, or a timelapse mode, etc etc.

Basically, all of Magic Lantern (a considerable feature set) should have been standard.

Feynmann: "It is whether or not the theory gives predictions that agree with experiment. It is not a question of whether a theory is philosophically delightful, or easy to understand, or perfectly reasonable from the point of view of common sense"

Then proceeds to invent string theory.

Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of admiration for Feynmann,but if he did indeed say the above, that strikes me as rather inconsistent : string theory is exactly what he preaches not to do : widely successful because of how beautiful it is, but unfalsifiable (as of yet).
> Also photographer here, I disagree that it doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter to the people who would previously have paid for a product. That's the point being made.

Technical excellence will always matter to some, but the point the GP is making is that the quality of smartphones has reached a level where a larger and larger segment of 'people who would have paid' now rest within the smartphone circle on the Venn diagram.

By chance, I interacted with one of their devs through the Debian community, and came away very positively surprised. They really seem committed to this.
I do wish a phone company would offer a phone that does _no_ real processing of the image. Phone photos look fine on a phone, but the moment you enlarge them they really are extremely weird, in my experience. Personally I would love the utility of a modern camera along the lines of old Leicas; simple, manual, compact, and with good quality if you know what you're doing. I suppose there are modern Leicas but god; that price inflation.

Also lovely to see an article by Scalzi on here, one of my all-time favourite authors.

Interesting topic. I feel like the representation of the Ruby fib misses the mark though because of how many language implementation details are caught up in it. The lack of abstraction here takes away from the usefulness of using a graph for understanding control/data flow in a program.
I used to carry my DSLR almost all the time.
Now I don't + even if I do, very often I end up taking a picture with my phone (in even light, and when I don't need any zoom, the result is similar (or better), and I can post it right away).

When there is bad light, or high contrast, even a 10-old DSLR is better... but requires time for post-processing. However, I think it is going to change soon with deep learning, for tweaking everything - from local contrast, through removing chromatic aberration, to fixing blurred pictures with super-resolution.
