I've been using Vim as my main editor on BSD, Linux and Windows for > 20 years. I also use Vim extensions in the IDEs I use (Visual Studio, VS Code, PyCharm).

One of the things I love about PyCharm when dealing with Markdown is that you get a nice preview rendering side-by-side with the raw Markdown. Very useful. I'm not sure if VS or VS Code have something similar. At least VS Code, if it's possible, it's not enabled by default. Might be possible with an extension.
You are right. I meant to point out that for some significant proportion of people, Sweden are in these circumstances not a country, but a tool to prove their point. And unless one is careful, which some people are, one will reach whatever conclusions one is looking for simply due to lack of resolution. From far away enough you can come up with the details yourself...
> Most Seattle cops cannot afford to live anywhere near the city or the districts they patrol.

I agree that this is a bad thing, but most people in general cannot afford to live near where they work in Seattle because Seattle has severe cost of living issues. This is not unique to police officers.

There are other big cities where most of the police officers live outside of town.

I'm okay with, in general, saying all public servants should be better compensated so they can live close to work. Suggesting that only cops deserve this for some reason (not firefighters? ambulance drivers?) is weird especially when it's proposed as a solution to police violence.

FWIW my first tech job was also in Seattle and I earned less than both you and that police officer for the 3 years I was there. Had to live an hour outside of the city to afford rent!
For the first time I watched Akira Kurosawa's films (mostly all of them in few weeks, but not yet "I Live in Fear") ten years ago.

"Yume", "Hachi-gatsu no rapusodi" and "Madadayo" are those which impressed me too much.

The "grilling" methods are not without benefits, they’re great at showing how much the candidate is willing to do to work at a given company.

When you change zone files (eg. in Bind9) then you need to reload the server in order to have the changes registered. For large amount of zone files reloading gets very expensive, so it is not done after every change but after every, like, 5 or 10 minutes.

On the user side this is super annoying:

1. you create a new A record

2. you try to open the domain name in a browser

3. changes are yet not reloaded, so DNS server responds with NXDOMAIN

4. browser caches the failing result for an hour or so

5. changes get reloaded after 10minutes and the domain gets available...

6. ...except for your computer because every DNS server between the source and your computer has cached the errored response

As PendingDNS reads always records from Redis then there is no reloading step and thus there is nothing to wait for.
Human cells use oxygen for fuel. Breathing is the primary mechanism by which oxygen enters the cells. My teacher told me this stuff when I was a baby in elementary school.
Not really. The only way a collision could truly raise an orbit is if a resulting piece of debris had far higher velocity than either incoming satellite which, while maybe not theoretically impossible, seems exceedingly unlikely. Furthermore, the way orbital mechanics works, all orbits resulting from a collision go through the point of the collision, so the collision of two objects in circular orbits can never result in an orbit with higher perigee. The orbit of debris may turn from circular to elliptical with a higher apogee, but those orbits will almost certainly have lower perigees and decay faster.
Hi, you're bending the words "right side of history" beyond how anyone else uses them. So, don't be surprised if people have a hard time understanding you.

You have legitimate concerns, but your phrasing of them is not easy for anyone else to follow.
No worries, I fully agree with the rest and just wanted to clarify things for others, not nitpick.
I find it confusing that the software development industry both rejects any sort of standard certification bar, yet there is a fast growing industry built around helping job seekers pass a standard technical interview loop.

Given that this overlaps with the HN community, how does everyone feel about the growth of these types of companies?

Honestly I'm with a few of the other posters here: I don't get it.

You obviously can't just project two lat/lon pairs into the plane and then expect to be able to draw a straight line between in the projection coordinate system (x/y) and have the result mean anything, unless those points are extremely close together.

On a Mercator projection that will happen to be a rhumb line, but that's a specific property of that projection.

If you want to know the point halfway along the shortest distance between two lat/lons (and you're prepared to accept the better-but-not-accurate spherical earth model), you can use spherical geometry to determine the mid waypoint along the great circle route.

The futility of thinking otherwise is expressed by the fact that the projection that does map straight lines in the projection to great circles on the globe - i.e. the gnomonic projection - can only show half the world on a map of finite size.
Should developers use Gentoo? I've used various different operating systems in the past but have never given Gentoo a try before. I've heard most of the complains about compilation are overstated (binary packages, optimizations, etc) but would love to hear more from someone using it on HN.

The terrain analogy is great - this is how the first structural biologists had to view electron density:
https://image.slideserve.com/105608/electron-density-maps-of...
I think this is a stack of 2d "slices" through the density, printed on transparencies. But I've also seen 2d representations of charge density (some of which is just theoretical studies) that are even more similar to a terrain map.
Ask HN: How to learn cloud tools coming from old GUI-based web management?
I have no experience with modern cloud services, professional or otherwise. I come from simple webdev for small scale apps work, involving small business clients. My experience managing things on remote servers involves, third party hosting companies that handle the infrastructure so we don't have to worry about data center uptime. Control panel GUIs like cPanel, Plesk are commonplace, to manage DNS and set up cron jobs, alongside GUIs for relational databases like PHP MyAdmin, and the occasional SSH into the server.

What is the best analogue to cloud services to Azure, AWS and GCP? I want to get skilled in at least one of them, explained in terms that can make sense for someone who has only used these older hosting tools. Perhaps to demonstrate a one-to-one analogue to the concepts found in cloud storage and computing for making the transition from this older form of website management.
That's the nature of a textbook though, not the field.

Most textbooks present a pretty definitive take on a topic, if only for pedagogical reasons. You might get a few well-defined controversies, like various theories of matter in chemistry, or frequentist vs. Bayesians in a stats book. Even there though, that debate is often resolved, one way or the other, by the end of the first chapter.

The actual back-and-forth in most fields happens in journal articles and conference presentations instead.

Thank you for the recommendation! I have been thinking about this _exact_ topic a lot recently (for obvious reasons).
Out of curiosity how is this better than current Grid/Table implementations?
No, they didn't actually write a budget in any meaningful sense. They sent out polls on social media [1] and asked respondents to rank four categories they invented, three of which are unfocused concepts about what a civic government might do:

1. Universal Aid and Crisis Management

2. The Built Environment

3. Reimagined Community Safety

…and one category which covers an actual budget item:

4. Law Enforcement

I should add that in order to take this survey, you had to decide to click through a web page that says "We demand that the Mayor and City Council prioritize care NOT cops", which... may have skewed the results somewhat.

Then they used those ranking to arbitrarily move numbers around. They decided to skip over some important things like, I don't know, having a fire department, or how they're going to pay for the pensions of those thousands of now-unemployed police officers.

How many hires have you made using this process? It is interesting in that the cost scales per person significantly. If I'm putting that much effort into the candidate, I think I've already determined I want him.

Authors Retract Study That Found Risk of Using Antimalaria Drug Against Covid-19
I remember reading recently that a Nobel Prize was won a few years ago for work with chirped pulse laser amplification using titanium sapphire lasers that can apparently achieve nano or microsecond energy pulses in the terawatt range. A potential contender for a non-fission fusion spark, but still does not solve the containment problem. The article says the laser could generate a magnetic field somehow?

Not at the moment, but I'm open to suggestions. Angular uses some custom syntax, right? Deno supports JSX natively, which makes it easier to support React. Do you know if there is a way to use Angular's syntax in Deno? What would the server need to do to make Angular development more convenient?

Retraction: “Hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine for treatment of Covid-19 ”
I wasn't going to answer this because I didn't want to spark the wrong kind of argument in the thread, and because it would take a scary amount of time. But I ran across an old comment where I wrote about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=713432. Those are still my views.

I would be a little kinder to the postmodernists if I were writing that today. That might be because another 11 years have gone by since I actually had to read them. Memory becomes more like imagination over time, and I'm probably imagining a version of them that I like better.

The important thing is that the things they called fictions and illusions largely are fictions and illusions. They embedded these insights in a nihilistic frame that is ultimately unhelpful, but the contributions are still valuable. It's a bit like seeing how a magic trick works: once you see it, you can't unsee it, and you become able to see the same trick in the future—except in this case the "magic tricks" are rationalizations that humans use to hide things, justify things, pretend things. That phenomenon is challenging to look at and goes much deeper than it appears to. The useful way to work with it, though, is to apply it to oneself.
You're overthinking it. Police already have their own camera people doing video surveillance in addition to CCTV and other surveillance tools. The sort of forensic analysis you mention is of course possible and is sometimes engaged in, but obscuring all such information would defeat the purpose of photojournalism altogether.

I agree on all points. Ideologically I should agree with our governor, but I find that her response to the pandemic has been pretty awful. She's not alone, I suppose, it seems like many (most?) state governors were only qualified to hold their position in a time of peace, few seem to have stepped up to the challenge of the coronavirus and taken charge as leaders.

For the longest time we didn't have anything even approximating an actual metric for when we could reopen things, and then all of the sudden we just decided to go ahead with it. I think her hand got forced on that, because when everyone realizes you don't have a plan, they start to make their own.

Sorry for the politics. I just find the entire situation very frustrating.
I sympathize with what you're complaining about, but I don't think GP is an instance of that. GP is (rightly, IMO) complaining that the linked article proposes something with extra steps that are not needed, as in: it could be easier than suggested. The typical HN gripes you describe are sort of the inverse of that: complaints that easy-to-use things (electron, npm) are flawed in comparison to their harder-to-use counterparts.
This reads to me as a rather superficial take on Clojure.

It's true that JavaScript - or any language, for that matter - can implement libraries that may have been inspired by a Clojure library. But specific libraries aren't what's being talked about here.

The characteristic of Clojure in question - which, IMO, JavaScript does not answer well - is the ability to easily create libraries and DSLs that feel like an extension of the language itself.

To poorly paraphrase a quote that I can't quite remember: Lisp isn't the best language for any problem in particular. What Lisp is the best language for is being a platform on top of which you can implement your own language, that is itself the best one for the problem you're trying to solve right now.

Or, to take a concrete example: In JavaScript, you get optional static typing from TypeScript, which is actually a whole new language that is transpiled to JavaScript. In Clojure, you get optional static typing from Typed Clojure, which is just a library.
It's because of what "police" means in the US compared to other countries. In the US, police are the backstop for every social ill and woe. Homeless and housing problems? Police. Mental illness? Police. Communities in poverty? Police.

So the budget is huge because the scope of their organization is huge. They are a band-aid for a myriad of political failures.

One of the big ideas of the "defund" movement isn't to pocket the money but direct those funding streams into other places. For example, instead of having police tackle homelessness, why shouldn't some of that budget go to affordable housing?

We currently use `react-table`, which is good in that it can support some reasonably large datasets (for instance, here's 2 million rows on the client-side - https://datapane.com/leo/reports/table-test/ - a bit laggy with sorting, but passable). This may not be the use-case you're going after at all, but have you run any benchmarks for how big a dataset you can support?

In the U.S. where I am, officers have a "badge number", literally on their metallic badge affixed to their uniform. These are hard enough to read during a non-confrontational exchange, but become useless in a fast moving, chaotic situation, which we're seeing a lot during this time.

It would make sense to have these badge numbers in larger characters on the front and/or back of the uniform, whether they are in riot gear or just their day-to-day uniform.
Correct. I have a PR ready which integrates the sort, search and pagination with the server-side module. Currently, there is a Server Side module that pulls data from the server (https://gridjs.io/docs/examples/server).
If riots are not covered then they are not covered. It's as simple as that.

I'm just saying you're making a whole lot of points without actually addressing the literal contents of my message, which would make this conversation much smoother because otherwise we are speaking past each other.

It looks like that presumption is wrong because riots will be covered under the umbrella of "physical damage" but you haven't really explicitly made that point by addressing mine, so it's hard to move forward with you to a productive conversation.
ICE was preceded by the INS. I'm under the vague impression they did the same sort of stuff, but I admit I'm not really familiar with the practical differences between the former INS and ICE.

> Alternate Facts and Fake News began in 2002 with the lies of WMDs in Iraq.

This stuff definitely isn't new though. Those terms are nothing more than euphemisms for lies and propaganda, and the Second Iraq War definitely isn't the first time America dabbled in those things. For instance consider this incident in the runup to the First Iraq War: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony And the Vietnam War started after the so called "Gulf of Tonkin incident", a pair of attacks on the US Navy in the span of two days... except Robert McNamara admitted decades later that the second attack never actually happened. Going back much further than that, the Spanish American War was the result of a strong propaganda campaign waged by America's yellow press; and the USS Maine explosion was almost certainly not enemy action (there were people in the Navy pointing that out from the start.) With respects to the First World War, there is probably something to be said about exactly what the RMS Lusitania was actually carrying...

A mutual fund doesn't own specific shares of stocks on behalf of an individual - it's just one big pool of assets, and the individuals own shares of that pool, not the underlying securities.

So if there's still lots of cash coming in every month from new payroll deductions, there might be no need for the fund to sell stocks to pay out a loan. They'd just buy fewer stocks that month.

They'd only have to sell stocks if the total cash going out (loans, plus distributions to retirees) exceeded the total cash coming in (payroll deductions).

Docker is not adding anything whatsoever. The "dockerfile" could be converted with a simple macro into a plain bash script and it would literally be the same thing. The container is not abstracting anything here; you are using KVM of the host system.

You even have to install more packages in the host than in the container.

You could even just run the original script the Dockerfile is wrapping directly which will even autoinstall the packages for you.
