It's not well-known, but it is possible:

"dependencies": {
"sodium-native-2": "npm:sodium-native@2",
"sodium-native-3": "npm:sodium-native@3"
}

> node_modules can only have one version and it's not hard to have version drift even while having a lock.

Don't get me wrong, npm is haunted, but I use it daily can't remember having experienced "version drift". The only reason I have to `rm -rf node_modules && npm install` is that `npm update` (even with --depth) doesn't do its job, so if you want to update all deep dependencies then you have to blow up your lockfile.

(Btw, if you are experiencing some "version drift" problem, I'd recommend `npm ci` as an alternative to `rm -rf node_modules && npm install`.)
I should have said in my post that I have nothing to say about what you should do if you have serious pain from typing - from the other posts here it sounds like lots of things might help, including an ergonomic layout. I had minor pain and I did find it went away with the switch, but in retrospect, that was probably because I also focused on efficient touch-typing as I learned Workman, so I improved my posture, I think. I feel as comfortable typing now with QWERTY as I did with Workman.
Italy's path has been conventional as well.

Conventional in what sense? They did hard lockdown which I believe has never been tried before, outside of Mexico, once, for a few days. This type of long term shutdown is entirely new.

None of the scientific advisors to the various democratic governments are complete idiots

Given their behaviour a lot of people have concluded otherwise.

Sweden's approach is valid. Italy's approach is valid.

Nobody is arguing about validity, which is undefined here and thus meaningless anyway, but cost and proportionality.

The stated justification for lockdowns was to avoid overflowing hospitals. Sweden avoided this despite taking far less harsh measures than Italy. This automatically makes Sweden's approach better than Italy's (or "more valid" if you like).

In Belarus they locked down less than Sweden, and still didn't see hospital overflow. Presumably that means Belarus is even less wrong than Sweden!
> Weekly deaths per 100,000 from 1918 pandemic above the expected rate.

The 1918 with worst cities 400+ Weekly deaths per 100.000 people are not comparable with the following numbers of COVID-19. Note that covid numbers not weekly but total.

> The Johns Hopkins University looked into the number deaths per 100,000 of the population in the top-10 countries worst affected by COVID-19. Belgium had over 57,000 cases on May 25 but it had the highest number of deaths per 100,000 of its inhabitants at 81.53. By comparison, badly-hit Spain and Italy had 57.43 and 55.64 deaths per 100,000 people respectively. The U.S. has surpassed 1.5 million cases and its deaths per 100,000 inhabitants stood at 30.02 on May 25.

There was an effort by Anonymous people to negatively affect Cloudflare in some capacity called #OpISIS due to the fact that Cloudflare generally tries to be a content-neutral pipe, and was continuing to host websites used by the Islamic State.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/nov/19/cloudflar...

I wish there were more companies like Cloudflare.
For some courses, yes. In Senior Design at UIUC the TAs basically run the whole course and the professors are there to evaluate the teams' final presentation and the end of the semester.
I've come to the same conclusion.

GGplot2 is _very_ nice to use and an incredible library...as long as you want to do something the package author approves of. Want to change some behavior about how bins are generated because the default behavior lies? Too bad.

Matplotlib is ugly, but it doesn't make decisions for you, and once you understand it, you can do anything with it.

I honestly don’t understand how this ignorant of a comment still gets on HN. What y’all are talking about is “The Internet” where all the trash and racist are free to make whatever content they want. What everyone else is talking about is private companies that publish trash based on recommendation engines, timeline visibility algorithms, sharing functions, and whole other bunch of programmed ways to “increase engagement.” If Facebook just wants to be the internet where you publish trash then I have to go find it on my own accord then manually share it to a list of other people, or where I can make a page with no special boosting to parrot that trash, then go right ahead. But that’s not what FB is doing, so don’t pretend that is.
I get a sense that he would be equally upset at Facebook if they had followed their content policy and censored the George Floyd video. The reality is that Facebook doesn't want to censor anything that is "newsworthy." The President's stance on the riots is certainly something that many people would be interested to know.
This was the fifth time this particular booster launched and landed successfully. Incredible.
I had the same experience, I tried to make a transfer of $100 or so and they just closed my account with no explanation, and I've never been able to open another one since. They did refund everything, though.
so he resigns over a post by trump vs all the other egregious things facebook has done?
Are these still missing laser comms?
Clearly it's not working though? At some point you need to wake up and realize that efforts to "change the system from within" are futile.
Thanks for your insights!

Can't read and admire person for quitting job at facebook because content is on facebook.
Anybody working for Facebook is knowingly and willingly helping promote fascism. These people have some of the best job options out there, and they're actively choosing to work for a company that's actively harmful to society.
Like the Space Shuttle.
Do you have any indication that the attacks were performed by script kiddies or that the targeted websites were even susceptible to such attacks?
I admire you, and I hope you get a better position in a more ethical environment.

Corporations using their power to silence an elected government official is pretty much the corporate-fascist dystopia I thought we were all against.
You wrote earlier:

Which is where the confusion stems from. Perhaps "'caught a bug' in sqlite" would have been a more clear way of writing what you intended?
That's not iMessage for Windows.

"You can get Adobe Photoshop for Linux, just run a Windows machine and use RDP to connect to it. All it requires is another machine entirely and for you to be on the same network."
3.5Å cryo-EM structures have existed for some time. The important thing coming down under 2Å or so, is that it drastically improves the quality of the molecular dynamics simulations you build of these structures.
In general, the death penalty does not apply to property crimes as such. In practice, the system executes convicted criminals almost exclusively for murder. And our Supreme Court has prohibited capital punishment even for appalling violent crimes, like adult rape.

Police use-of-force policies---however otherwise flawed---limit deadly force. State laws vary as to when and how private citizens may defend themselves with deadly force. Property crime outside the home without immediate risk to life or safety is not a license to kill.
No, not fire him - he's just resigned - I mean put him on "gardening leave" from now until his official last day.
That seems precisely wrong to me. It's not about the individual scoring some sort of "virtue points", it's about spurring change. He could certainly just quit and not tell anyone but that would sort of defeat the purpose. It's not like Facebook is really going to miss any one engineer. But if their employees start to leave en masse then they will absolutely notice and try to deal with it.
Holy shit. I was wondering why so many old hn accounts were linking to an insulting meme and this was upvoted in few other threads so I wonder what those people saw.

Literally every single thing anyone does publicly is "virtue signalling". The hope is that by publishing this he may inspire other employees to do the same.
Of course. That is exactly what FB should be doing and its likely where Twitter is going as well. Nothing else is sustainable. What exactly gives a bunch of 20 to 30 year old privileged nerds the moral authority or wisdom to decide what information the country gets access to? Pardon my French, but fuck that.
I'm a structural biologist that uses CryoEM to study archeal viruses. I'd be happy to answer any questions about CryoEM.

I did want to point out though that this title is misleading. The researchers didn't get an image of an atom. Instead, they reconstructed hundreds of thousands of images of the protein to determine where the atoms are almost exactly. So there's no actual image that shows an atom, as cool as that would be.
There are racists in every profession and walk of life. If you believe that being a hacker / someone with tech skills precludes you from having prejudice I hope you reflect on that belief.
If that is a notable categorisation then what is the difference that makes forums better?
I've never seen so many people try to censor a political rival as recently with President Trump.

If you can make a compelling argument in the marketplace of free ideas, you don't need to censor.

If they are going to censor Trump for calling the looters 'thugs', they need to censor the people calling for violence against cops (which is way worse)
We have gathered here, by and large, to discuss and cheerlead a campaign which calls for political censorship of a major political figure, one who earned the vote of just under half of the USA. We assembled beg for a world in which a megacorporation will enact content restrictions, deciding what types of view are acceptable to express.

The politician in question, far from offering a meaningful alternative that advances freedom, attempts to use his office to restrict opposing speech as well. He may well win re-election and further implement policies which advance the ideas the Facebook employee objects to.

Elsewhere in the world, the Chinese Communist Party builds its surveillance state, installing their secret police in Hong Kong to crush protests.

Free speech may die within my lifetime, and the Chinese Communist Party in particular is fairly well positioned to make a claim that history will be on their side. Of course I'm a god damn pessimist.
AI for heat map?
If I wrote this patch and worked at AWS, I probably wrote it because some manager asked me to. I probably have realized already that the idea is kind of shady, but my manager doesn't care, so I go forward towards the inevitable rejection by Linus.
That is not square one, its a far better place than where we are now.
The energy is roughly proportional to weight, as I imagine the electric motor and battery amperage are.
Tout le monde fait son truc. You speak your dialect, and I'll speak mine. (it could be worse: a local paper has a crossword with the clues set in patois)
Doesn't Facebook work like this already? I imagine most of the people really angry about things Trump is posting don't follow him anyways. I'll occasionally unfollow (not unfriend) people who post nonsense repeatedly and my feed is remarkably clean.
Feeling doubtful about this Wikepedia article and the recent MSM coverage of "boogaloo" stuff.

I've been members of "boogaloo" groups and followed "boogaloo" pages on FB for years now. They've all been "left" in terms of message and the majority of members. Never seen a single far-right one until now, so I'm wondering how much of this is being manufactured.
Is there really a racist contingent of hackers out there?

Yes.

I just never thought of the two going together.

Why not? It's not like hacking is a social ideology in and of itself. It's not like racists or other non-socially liberal people can't grasp the idea of hacking.
> type of things like slavery, holocasts and treason

The problem with convenient trap doors like this is now we’re back to being unable to debate the merits of Snowden because he committed treason.
> It's already been proven you can go from 1 case to full pandemic in 4 months.

When nobody was testing, and nobody was expecting it. Testing and tracing infrastructure will only get better, not worse. You won’t see cases in Hong Kong suddenly go from zero to thousands.

> Unless Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, iceland, luxembourg, monaco, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Belize, China plan on never reopening to the World, the virus will spread again.

I suspect they'll reopen with mandatory testing and isolation of travelers. Many of those countries already have varying versions of this.

This will go until a vaccine exists. Then once a vaccine exists you’ll need proof of vaccination to enter.

Tourism is nice for economies, but not being in lockdown and not paying the costs of an outbreak is even better.

Why exactly will it be impossible for those countries to use this system for 1-2 years until a vaccine is ready? The alternative on offer in countries with outbreaks is hardly compelling.

Perhaps we’ll discover a treatment in between that will make this unnecessary, but barring that the world may divide into cold zones and hot zones.
I use J for general signal processing/machine learning development. It allows for clear expression in terms of arrays. It's also decent infrastructure for talking to C libraries, and the database is quite powerful (it's fast and you can apply verbs directly to column groups). Downside for anything like this is lack of libraries.

There's utility in knowing it in the same sense as knowing Lisp; makes you better at other languages. There's also social capital in that people who use and work on the APL family are a sort of "mafia" working on very interesting and lucrative problems (generally in quant finance).
What you advocate for is status quo. If you do not encourage positive behavior, you are less likely to see it happen.
This advertises itself as "policing by consent", but I'm not sure where the "by consent" comes from. I'm surely missing something, but if you can just add "by consent" to violent actions and then say "individuals cannot withdraw consent", then that doesn't seem like consent to me.

Example: The US military spreading democracy by consent. Sure, lots of recipients of 'democracy' have expressed that they want us to leave, but individuals cannot withdraw their consent from our democracy.
Relatedly, I found my "night owl" tendencies, which were "natural" and just about impossible to fight, went away completely when I limited myself to a few dim candles for light after sundown, and no glowing screens of any kind—no TV, no computer, no phone, period. You can still do a ton in low light—board and card games, reading, playing music, listening to music (small exception to the no-screens thing may be a practical necessity to get an album or playlist started or whatever if you don't want to go for physical media, but no fiddling with the playlist), writing. A very low candle power electric light (think nightlight, most of which are still brighter than what I was using and I could see just fine for most anything) would probably do. Obviously you might need a bit more if you're older and your eyes are getting worse, but you really do adjust to lower light levels than one might think. Dozens to hundreds of times lower than typical nighttime lighting, for sure.

I only did it for a couple weeks but soon found whole-room artificial lighting at night obnoxiously and needlessly bright. A candle for the room and ~2 candles per person (or equivalent from small electric lights—it's actually hard to find them this dim, though) provide entirely enough illumination to do just about whatever you want, and, crucially, let you get tired.

I strongly suspect a huge proportion of people who are "naturally" very active at night or just "can't" have a normal sleep schedule are in fact suffering from the availability and use of particular technologies.
Last time I tried doing an IMAP backup using... hmmm, some command-line tool (imapsync maybe?), I discovered that Gmail has some kind of rate limiting baked in and starts throwing errors after that. This would, naturally (/s), cause the tool to restart the process. Limiting your connection speed probably caused the backup to go slow enough that you didn't hit the request limit.
FB is clearly not being free speech - they remove posts all the time for the most variety of reasons, the most begnin of which being female nipples
How Do I Know What I Know?
Thanks for clarification. People already play tons of games substituting CG for OI, so so bringing them closer to parity could reduce this.

I hadn’t considered the inflation issue, which is interesting but seems solvable.
How many times have people at these companies tried to "manage up" from within and it didn't work? I honestly lost count by now. This will continue as long as there are enablers on the other side who keep offering to foot the bill in exchange for the lion's share of management's attention. I see this quite often. As a rank-and-file employee, there comes a point where a lot of people have to cut their losses and realize that, within whatever their current trajectory is, the chances of becoming a VP or C-level and making a real difference within a reasonable timeframe are slim. I wish it wasn't so, because as you can see, the only option in that situation is to quit.

Not really - but I thought this was something new when reading the article.
I believe that if people drove exactly the samemas before, they wouldn't get full benefit of regen, but I don't believe people will drive the same as before. I know I don't. Driving without ever using the brakes in my Model 3 is smoother and a bit of a fun mini game. One quickly learns not to accelerate quite as much when there's a visible red light ahead and how much the Regen brakes will slow the car down.
he's a "Software Engineer" at facebook. He's not even a "Senior Software Engineer" He is NOT making 250k and he likely lives _near_ facebook which means _most_ of his money is going directly into housing. There are a LOT of people working what is normally considered a high income job in the bay area and living out of their vans because that's the only way they can actually have any money left over at the end of the month.

Yes, he's a privileged white male and will likely get a job offer soon, but that doesn't mean he's rolling in cash. Also, take a look at average salaries. Devs don't make $250,000 in the US unless they've got some really high profile public backstory.
Antifa are very well organised and very much a real thing. Of course like minded people get involved locally as well, so there are probably a lot more people 'identifying as Antifa' than long term Antifa people, but they are a persistent organised group and some people are into it full time. Luis Enrique Marquez is a well known example.
I don't follow Candace Owens so I can't speak to that, but Ben Shapiro has been very sympathetic towards justice for the murder of George Floyd and calling on the cop to be punished - pretty much daily since the video came out.

Why would you say he's trying to discredit George Floyd?
That’s great. In that case, I encourage more Facebook employees to vote with their feet (before voting with their ballot paper in November of course).
What happened:

1. OSSFuzz reports a bug against SQLite.

2. SQLite dev tries to fix the reported problem but is unable to repro the bug on his desktop

3. SQLite dev replicates the OSSFuzz build environment which uses clang-11.0.0 and is then able to repro the reported bug

4. SQLite dev finds that the bug isn't in SQLite at all, but rather in clang-11.0.0

5. SQLite dev patches SQLite to work around the clang bug, posts a brief note about this on the SQLite forum, and goes to bed.

6. The post on the SQLite forum is picked up by HN while the SQLite dev is asleep. LLVM devs read HN, isolate and fix the clang problem, all before the SQLite dev wakes up.
I hope there is as at least as much of that pretending and sweeping under the rug as there us when phrases like "most cops are good" ,"it's only a few bad apples" are used and when cops are not charged with a crime after being filmed in broad daylight commiting heinous crimes that would cause any civilian to rot in prison, or after being charged they don't even make it to trial because a grand jury preemptively aquitted them. I think all that counts as sweeping under the rug. But it seems you care more about property than human life being swept under the rug?

As someone said, maybe the right perspective is "it's too bad all this property is needlessly destroyed, but how can we let so many innocent people die, protestors get assaulted for no reason, journalists losing their eyes and being beaten and detained on american soil for doing their job?" Priorities my friend, says a lot about you. I am sure a country that can afford multi trillion dollar wars and bailouts can handle a few insured propertied burning down. Heck, some people might even profit with the right insurance.

> There is nothing praise-worthy about taking a stand now, you should have been out of there ten years ago or never started to begin with.

That is a ridiculous position. perhaps it would have been wise to do this 10 years ago, or perhaps not it doesn't matter. NOW, it is either the moral thing to do, or it is not. Clearly Mr. Aveni thinks it IS moral, and I applaud him for taking this step (at some significant personal cost) in accordance with his ethics.
Why Sleep Deprivation Kills
Nobody in America is going to buy an electric van with only ~100 miles of range that accelerates slower than a comparable gas van.
100% agree. Correctional Corporations of America and its prison wage labor model are just terrible. It obviously incentivizes excessive law-making to fill cell beds while those who are part of the establishment such as judges and lawyers become a separate social class with more power which is backwards.

I might even say explicit support. After all, how better to support a company than directly working for them? In some business models you're probably generating more value for the company working for them than you would as a customer.
