> As a whole people behaved sensibly.

Switzerland has its fair share of non-compliant idiots, but the share is historically smaller than in other countries and the country itself is small. So the idiots don't create enough of critical mass to make it appears as an "alternative norm" and they end up sticking out as exceptions.

That said, there was a considerable push back to the closure of restaurants and bars. In the end, they HAD to be closed formally, because simple pleas for behaving responsibly and not congregating into larger groups did not work well. Especially on Fridays. But once a law is in place, it is generally observed and not questioned.
I once lived in a bilingual area in the States. Depending upon how I was dressed, I would be greeted in either english or spanish[1] when walking into a shop. My experience was that people were more helpful (to the extent of addressing me as "paisano") in spanish. I suspect this is because when I was greeted in english, I was being greeted as an out-group[2] member.

[1] hypothesis: if you have never learned to code-switch, you are probably a member of a preferred group.

[2] not necessarily due to being classified as anglophone, more likely due to being classified as tourist.
Nitrogen or CO₂. But you will not be happy with it, there is a reason more expensive mixtures are preferred. Also, the required protective gear against the NOx and added postprocessing of your workpiece more than make up for the gas price...

The cheapest way overall is actually the commonly used Argon. Its just not cheapest if you just stare at the price of the gas alone.
Reddit Addressing Hate
Do most people use masks in Finland?

I'm kind of shocked how few people use them in Switzerland. Not that I know for sure how much do masks help, but it's so cheap to get them! And the supply is now plentiful. Talk about cost/reward, especially when compared to debilitating costs of things like shutdowns ...

In either case, Europe is cool for now. Let's see what will the Autumn and Winter bring.
Cheating is rampant in all financial services that mediate transactions between end customers. No shortage of stories about card fraud or PayPal woes.
You're not alone! I feel exactly the same way. Not only the submission and upvoting of mean-spirited, tasteless content, but the utter sense of entitlement when someone tries to remove it: "it's our right to watch videos of people dying and being maimed!"

At the same time, it seems impossible to find any sentence on Reddit that isn't just a few expletives mixed together with a stock catch phrase.

That combination (ie: of depravity and vapid language) makes me snort with disgust at the idea that people conduct "serious debate" on Reddit.

Maybe we should just embrace the concept of an Internet License, after all.
Rust has Arc<> too, but it's optional. And it only increments and decrements wrt. Arc references that might affect when the object is dropped; it doesn't need to do so with references that are outlived by some existing Arc reference. I think this is what you're calling 'escape analysis' in your comment, but Rust does it statically and the 'hints' are ordinary Rust syntax.
Thanks, good point, was aware of that, but others might not be; never seen a good explanation for their legal structure, both as it relates to the present & future.

I have checked both URLs for 990s, only way I found it was via a link in the footer of Signal’s Wikipedia page.

Excuse my naïveté, but I’d love to know what kind of feeds you connect to to pull in 40gbps of financial data. Are these basically feeds of all available securities trading everywhere in the world?

> If both functions take the same time in isolation, it would make sense to review both functions performance to improve the whole. How is that difficult to reason about? How did laziness made it impossible?

Because the slowdown didn't happen in either function. f still takes the same time it used to. g still takes the same time it used to. But somehow the composition has gotten significantly slower. Both functions may be slow when run in isolation, but it's impossible to tell whether one or both is "supposed to" be slow. Profiling and looking at the slowest function can easily lead you on a wild goose chase here.
"The social graph" (your phone book) is most likely already uploaded somewhere by third-party app or even Google/Apple themselves. Using separate contact list (even uploaded to some server) seems more secure to me than using your phone's one.

The phone number is much more valuable to any authority than other metadata because they are more likely to have access to cell service than to messenger services.

In the context of the post, signal is much more vunerable than even basic things like email or web chats because police can effortlessly identify anyone in the group chat with a single request to cell company.

Telegram isn't really a subject to compare to Signal.

I own a cellphone number for an Eastern European provider and had been using Telegram solely for news reader purposes. None of the people i communicate knows the number.
Much to my surprise i learned that Telegram cooperates with local authorities, i would never found it out if not for COVID-19. The messages i got were addressing the precautions and regulations during the pandemic. While i appreciate the effort, i feel like it's a clear overreach on Telegram's part.

How do i know it was Telegram rather than the authorities themselves? The sender information clearly stated the sender was Telegram (same as a chatbox created to inform on What's new), i've got a push notification even though push notifications were app level turned off.

Can't imagine Signal compromising the trust of it's userbase by sending any sort of material that comes from the healthcare department of whatever country my phone number would be from.
The "opinions" section is not for fact checked objective pieces of journalistic integrity; it's for stating the personal opinions of important people, whether factually right or wrong.

My opinion remains that NYT had to apologize and take corrective steps for letting a stray wave penetrate the echo chamber.
Never tried Signal, but from what you're telling, it seems that they redevelop the core functionalities for each platform.

That's interesting, because i've been looking for a way to share core logic code across platform (mobile & desktop at least), and still haven't found something really user friendly. From my brief lookup (rust & gomobile are the ones i've looked at), it seems that most dev environment seem to support some kind of C-style interfacing, but it becomes much more clumsy as soon as you're trying to have it run on java.

Has anyone found a solution that he's comfortable with and would recommend ?
To people reading this, many websites rely on websockets for real-time information. They would likely fallback to per-refresh HTTP requests, but it also may break a bunch of sites.

Thaad is only for short to intermediate range missiles. No one has ever intercepted an ICBM. There are some crazy/interesting programs researching how to try but no one takes them seriously as far as I know. It's like trying to hit a grain of sand travelling at mach 4 from 1000km away.

How is it clear? Is your claim that only certain groups feel racism? And are these groups defined by their race? If so, isn't that inherently racist?

What is the basis for your assumption that I have not felt racism, which you seem to be using to say that my perspective is not as valid?
Part of the reason your Slack is so slow is that a lot of stuff is built to protect from problems that Rust might eventually solve.

Slack builds the UI on web technology that got widespread in part because it solves awkward problems with deployment (self-contained and consistent graphic libraries, so you don’t have to worry about how your DE compiled this or that other toolkit) and safety (web tech is heavily sandboxed so that crashes and executions won’t open doors to bad actor). In the long run, Rust will definitely make the latter less cumbersome (less worrying about crashes -> simpler, lighter, faster sandboxes) and possibly help with the former a bit (desktop environments and their libraries could shed some complexity when moving to Rust and make it easier for programs to access them safely).

I think it’s a noticeable step forward. Will it solve everything? No, some of the problems with Slack-like situations are due to economic factors (browsers sticking to JS will forever continue to make JS programmers cheaper and more plentiful than basically any other type of programmer) that Rust is unlikely to affect. But perfect is the enemy of good in this sort of thing: incremental progress is better than no progress.
Consider the following.

I suffer from experiencing the results of x-ism from class y in power. I am the only member of this marginalized group in society, and the only one who has "felt the effects of [x]-ism". I require you to put me in power to absolve the effects of x-ism through methods that include the marginalization (but not x-ism) of groups who are neither suffering from the effects of x-ism or are x-ists themselves.

Do you see the reductio ad absurdum?
Huh. I've been using eBay a lot this week, and it might have triggered a kernel bug. I had terrible internet performance that got resolved by rebooting my Ubuntu 18.04 laptop.
Here's the thing: forums are not publications. Forums are discourse, so it's not a platform, and discourse cannot exist with muzzles, and must operate in tune with real world consequences.

That's how you know you're having a conversation. It's a conversation when there are no boundaries that render topics off limits.

Expressly forbidden subject matter with little justification other than personal desires to shift goal posts represents the destruction of personal agency, at which point the value of discourse and interaction becomes dubious.

You can see this emerge in many stifled areas, where self appointed referees march in and police activity down to a single word or punctuation mark. The interactions are sterilized and dead. To say they'd been rendered kid friendly might be charitable.

Reddit's no exception. Imgur as well. It's been obvious for years that the discourse is molded and extruded to fit into a sentiment of entertainment that strikes one's cognition as uncanny. There's curation beyond the natural "organic" crowdsourced voting that assists in ranking the value of participation.

Facebook, while moderated, and wrapped in the slimiest of user interfaces still demonstrably rings as augmented discourse, but true discourse among familiar peers, no less. Twitter as well.

Instagram and Snapchat are mostly channels for drug dealing and prostitution, by contrast. Something twitter chased away at one point, and Facebook has intimidated with seemingly unwitting blunders originating from all angles, such that teens and parents blow up their own ploys regularly, never mind other criminal elements.

Anyway, it's laughable that we worry about a word like nigger, uniquely American in its sensitivity, when there are many other ways individuals deliver serious and real harm beyond exclusion and hurt feelings, by way of discussion.

Feel free to regulate another platform to death, and watch people vote with their feet, until real laws completely ruin the internet and prevent natural discussion with honest consequences, but perhaps worthwhile risks.
Show HN: arkade – Kubernetes Apps for Developers
Sometimes I wonder a key part of the appeal of Rust is that feeling of climbing the mountain. I've noticed that coming to a solution around the particular constraints of Rust can have a eureka feeling which is similar to how it felt applying a new concept successfully for the first time when I was first learning to program (e.g. recursion). I'm not always convinced the solution I come to is superior to what I would have done in a more traditional programming language, but it certainly feels rewarding to overcome challenge, and I would bet that's true of a lot of people, and that it's more motivating than the promise of performance and memory safety alone.
related question, what's the state of swift outside of the Apple ecosystem, in particular on Linux?

I looked at it briefly and I liked it a lot, but does it have a future as a platform-independent language?
Genuine question - why?

IMHO, most of the flak javascript gets is primarily due to 2 reasons -

1. Using javascript indiscriminately

2. Using javascript frameworks to a point where it becomes it's own universe and people end up with blinders unable to see anything else.

In both these cases, the issue is not as much as with the language as with the people (ab)using it.

> Are these basically feeds of all available securities trading everywhere in the world?

Well, yes. In March, the per-day volumes went to more than double the previous peak.

That said, traffic is bursty, particularly at market open and close, and latency matters, so you have to statically provision for peak traffic.
> how would the founders apply the right to keep and bear arms today?

Not as fundamentally a right to keep countermeasures (whether classical weapons or alternative devices) to militarized standing police forces, because that is completely missing the point of the RKBA.

The RKBA exists and was seen as vital to the security of free states because the existence of a universal, well-equipped citizen militia was the thing which made it possible for the citizenry to demand that the government over which they had democratic control not hire large standing internal and external (which ultimately end up as backstop internal) security forces in the first place — because those were seen as fundamentally incompatible with liberty — but instead rely on small cadre forces plus mobilizing the civilian militia for internal and external security. The founders wrote quite a bit based on the dangers of standing armies, but they didn't write a prohibition into th Constitution, just provided the tools that they saw as making standing armies unnecessary. They didn't write as much about standing paramilitary police forces because at the time of the founding those weren't a thing, but pretty much every concern they expressed about standing armies applies to paramilitary police forces, which are just standing armies that are exclusively deployed internally for use against the citizenry, with additional force.
> Maybe we should embrace the concept of an Internet License, after all :(

Likewise. Regulation of communication is beginning to look like the only way out of this trap.
Yes, there's a lot of cross-pollination between Rust and Swift, and Swift devs pragmatically use features from Rust ecosystem. IMO Rust has much better FFI than Swift, but that's primarily due to Apple. I'm really stoked up for both languages to gain a larger space in developer ecosystem.

> The biggest practical downsides are Apples disregard for other platforms.

This is unfortunately true, but I see Swift committee making serious efforts to overcome that. I hope it gets better with time. Swift on Backend (vapor/Kitura) are simply ages behind Actix.

Another language that's syntactically close is Kotlin/native, even though it has quite different goals. These 3 languages have brought much excitement to development in the past few years.

>I'm not so happy about your lack of concern for others.

Are you concerned about the tens of millions of people who lost their jobs and businesses? Losing your job is a pretty horrible experience too, especially for the low-income groups who are most affected by the lockdown. What about the people whose mental health has been shattered by forced social isolation; "A year's worth of suicide attempts in the last four weeks": https://abc7news.com/suicide-covid-19-coronavirus-rates-duri...
Let me play devil's advocate:

* an unpopular, nationalist president like Trump starts it

* Russia picks up the phone and makes clear it has no intent to attack anywhere in the EU as long as it doesn't get attacked. It offers assurances To Turkey and Eastern Europe and stands down or withdraws troops etc near those regions.

* National leaders (especially say Germany, Italy, Spain) realise their involvement would add nothing and doom all their major cities to annihilation. Also, with the US/Russia gone as powers they will "inherit the earth".

If you were Chancellor of Germany would you really say "fuck it, its worth 50m+ civilian casualties to uphold this point of principle"?
“This thing I’m handing you is a $10 bill. Also, I have a proof that the serial number on it is real, and not duplicated which I can share (the proof) with any third party, to prove my payment or validate the ledger of payments, without revealing which serial number it is (thereby preserving your privacy).”

That is essentially what zcash is. So as I said, numerous applications in financial crypto (where we can reasonably spend full seconds on desktop, or minutes on secure hardware grinding away at proof to send funds), but not so practical to spend an even greater amount of time on each database query.
Also the same for Haskell so I would have expected to see that much higher.

People are coalescing into groups more so for non cognitive behaviors than for deliberate premeditated concerns but when confronted by that reasoning deflect. When confronted they don’t deny it or excuse it but instead argue defense of positions that were never in question.

Good. That is my point. If you find the subjects that people are protesting about concerning and important you should very much care whether outside observers see something sincere or superficial.

Korea and Japan, being great, ancient and ultra-modern civilizations are totally depending on the US ruler for their own defence while they have to face a very dangerous neighborhood with N-Korea, China and Russia. And they're not very happy about it...
And Singapore is a dicatorial city state less populated than London or Paris (an less rich). We could have expected a more ambitious model and destiny for a nation which once ruled the world.

If you have an error-handling path that you don't test, that has the potential to cause a major production bug in virtually any language, Haskell included. Is there any reason to believe you wouldn't have had exactly the same problem in Haskell? Laziness can mean a pure compute loop isn't a problem, sure, but if you had a loop that was queuing messages that sounds like something that would be in an IO that got sequenced.

If you write the same code in a strict language or a lazy language, the asymptotic performance will be the same, sure. But that ignores the fact that people don't. Lazy languages use different idioms (there would be little point in laziness as a language feature if people didn't write code that relied on it), which is what results in code whose performance is impossible to reason about.
