The "negative excess" was due to reporting lags, repeating the NYT analysis with up-to-date data for that period there are actually "unexplained" deaths. But it actually seems they make a better job at counting than some other European countries (maybe not as good as Belgium, I don't know).

Yes

No. They are common carriers. Twitter and the vast majority of other companies are not.

The comparison is not between Croatia and Italy, but between Croatia and Sweden. In the case of Sweden, it has approximately 1/3 of the population density of Croatia.

The fact that Sweden does not have a coronavirus hotspot as a neighbour further indicates that the Croatian outcomes have been much better.

I like the tool, especially the integrations with repl. Administrative paperwork quickly becomes a massive problem for teachers and any tool that cuts down on that workload is a God-send.

I have used google classroom for courses before and I really like it. It's pretty easy to use but even so, it does create a fairly big mental over-head for most students. It's easier to forget that these days many university students have no computer experience outside of smartphones. I had one class where an assignment, a paragraph of text was submitted variously as a google document, a spreadsheet, a power point presentation and a screenshot from a phone.

Git for none programmers is out of the question.
> Would it be a major job moving to Dvorak and can you expect big improvements?

Don't expect improvements in speed. For me it's all about comfort.

What's a major job for you? You can memorize the layout in a day, type painfully slow for a couple days, start to feel rather comfortable in a week or two tops (still likely slower, depending on how fast you were, but now you're accustomed to the pace you type at on your new layout). Getting to the 80-100 WPM range takes weeks.

This, of course, assumes that you put in the effort (do drills and memorize the layout first of all; keep doing drills daily, and don't switch back to your old layout when it feels convenient).
I did some checking of a lecture by an expert in virology, and I found an error. There are a few facts that I couldn't figure out if they were supported by other sources.

It wasn't anything particularly intensive, just making sure the other sources said the same thing. But it was still a lot of work.

For most people, learning is a lot of work in and itself.
His point was that the 1st amendment applies only to Congress. There are other laws that apply to other entities, but currently no law prevents Twitter from censoring.
I think it did, if not otherwise because modern jets simply have stopped relying on their own radars, making long range IRST more important.
I especially liked the example of the interactive cross-filter: https://altair-viz.github.io/gallery/interactive_layered_cro...

You have to understand, if I am using shodan for day to day purposes, the free option is very limiting (censys has similar limitations). Now consider something like VirusTotal, their limits are structured in a way that allows everyday human usage for free except if you want their more useful features you pay at minimum a $600/month. If I can make better use of it for free, I can justify contacting your sales for a POC/consultation, but right now I can do a handful ofql queries a day and something like 5 pages of results even with an account. If I create a query that shows something I can't share it with non-members, I have to use screen shots or dumb down the query.

From an individual perspective, download restrictions and payment option flexibility are a pain for me.

Feature request: A lot of sites don't serve meaningful content if you don't visit using the right hostname. If Shodan can discover hostnames based on TLS cert SAN values or retroactively scan newly registered domains, that would provide a lot of value to enterprise customes. For the vuln tag, it would be nice if I didn't have to convince my compnay to buy the product before using it,even testing it on a personal paid account, or a temp free trial?

I mentioned your product was expensive due to the "token" based payment approach where downloading or exporting things for example requires payment each time. If I had just enough free access to do something more than occassional shodan safari or looking up suspicious IPs 5 times a day, perhaps then I would pay for it and feel like your customers. For full access even a $500/month is very cheap but there are limits and the token based approach sounds costly if it is in additon to one time payment.

Last comment: Very gladly surprised to see someone actually working at shodan respond, HN never ceases to surprise. Thank you for putting together this great service to the internet.
I'm not replying to that.
Not a compiler author, but have some experience with finding bugs in compilers. If I had to venture a guess, I'd pick the testsuite (and other tools like fuzzing and mass user base), since the complexity is quite high. In our experience with the EMI project (https://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/~su/publications/emi.pdf), some of the miscompilations were caused by one pass of the compiler emitting code that was considered to have contained undefined behavior by the next pass (see Figure 1(b)). I'd say the code reviewer will catch issues within a single pass, but the interaction between them are less likely to be caught by a human reviewer as the complexity grows.

Yeah but the title Application Engineer sounds like Dev Ops or backend engineer or front end engineer.

Never is it mentioned that this is a position that is not a software engineer and is paid less than a software engineer.

Like do I need to ask whether a backend engineer is a software engineer? If not why do I need to ask this about an Application Engineer?

This role is where google puts most of their contractors.
I'm not sure of how much of the "long-term results" was historical revisionism, but I can understand some of it.

Sweden (or any other country to be honest) is nowhere near herd immunity, which kicks in at 60% (though some studies seem to have pointed to a lower number around 45%/47% something like that, anyway), Stockholm I think is around 10%, maybe 15%

And even when you reach 60%, there's still an infection inertia

I think it's fine for Sweden to have tried their approach, at these times, there are no real right or wrong answers, and Sweden's population probably is a little more sensible than most other countries.
YC also invests in non-profits. There is a strong social/corrective undertone in its investments.
> C was once supposed to be a simple language closer to a portable macro assembler than a high-level language, and one for which writing a compiler is relatively straightforward and takes no longer than a year.

Do you have a source for this claim? AFAIU the history of C, it was invented for entirely pragmatic reasons.

> This went out of the window with clang, and with gcc (and glibc!) being based on C++.

This is nonsensical, whichever way one interprets "being based on C++". The GCC and Clang compilers conform to the standard whichever version of C or C++ you ask them compile. (Anything else is a bug and should be reported. They may accept a few non-conforming programs, but that's allowable under either implementation-defined behavior or undefined behavior. Remember that UB can include 'doing what the programmer expects'.)
Keyboard layouts are incredibly fascinating. For the amount of typing that is done today it feels like we are collectively still in the Dark Ages of textual input.

A while ago on HN there was link to a talk from a stenographer (the people who do court reporting and other live transcription). They achieve the highest WPM by using a smaller keyboard and pressing "chords" of multiple keys at the same time, which map to sounds or words. Over time each individual customizes their "dictionary" to meet their usage/needs.

From there it's easy to imagine a future where children are given devices that fit their hands like gloves or wii-motes that convert motions to text, with a system that adapts and grows with them over time.
It is accurate. Other laws can be created which apply to various other entities, such as corporations. But the 1st amendment specifically applies only to Congress.
If I understand correctly, sqlite3VdbeMemRelease doesn't free pMem nor pMem->flags, just some other fields in the pMem struct.

How would you characterise it? Speed, comfort, typo rate, something else?

What layout(s) did you touch type on before carpalx?

I might be interested in switching (after 15 years of increasingly customized dvorak).
I agree that there should be more funds that support all kinds of backgrounds so that we can increase the diversity of people in the VC space. This reminds me a lot of the discussions about affirmative action in the US, which is divisive on both sides, and I do see a strong argument for using class as the main determinant. However, black founders often mention that they are declined funding because they don't look similar to the investors, and while most entrepreneurs need to go through a lot of investors, its often hard to tell if you're getting rejected because of your idea or the color of your skin.

Just because it would be ideal to have programs for all disadvantaged backgrounds doesn't make one specifically for POC bad imo.
NZ shutdown for six weeks (depending on how you count of course) and is reopening now, we have had no new cases at all for 12 days.

> I'm not sure exactly what you mean

One way of classifying languages is as “analytic” (where unit’s role in a sentence, its relationship to other units, is denoted by auxiliary units/particles or unit order) or “synthetic” (where unit inflects, its form changes to reflect its role).

Most languages are somewhere in between, but languages with logographic written systems tend to be more on analytic side.

What could a pure attempt at a synthetic grammar that also has semantics-focused writing system (one that tries to maximize difference in visual representation appropriately to distance in meaning) look like?
You can criticize the language to your heart's content but calling people names makes you look really bad.
The thing I'm interested in when using Google Analytics is tracking user path to see the bounce rate in a checkout process for example. You can calculate conversion rates for different user segments. People who just want to see "how many visits I got" don't benefit from GA. Developers often miss the point of GA, because they do not work in sales.

In most countries, liberals are considered at least center, if not rightwing and conservative. I don't know about australian politics but it seems like its the same there. By Liberal they mean liberal economically (small government, no regulations) and conservative socially.
The purpose of such initiatives is to counter the prevalent social bias. If two similarly educated and otherwise skilled FAANG employees pitch same idea to different VCs, the success ratio is tilted against POC.

Rest of the causes need to be looked upon at various stages of life and via various support measures, this particular caters to racial bias.
Documentaries by definition should be DOCUMENTING reality not glorifying it.

War documentaries that glorify violence are propaganda.

We shouldn't ban them, but we should contain them the way we contain all propaganda - study it's means to an end, and contain it.

I'm pro rioting. I don't know why you think I'm triggered. Rioting isn't promoting violence. There is also a question of instigation.

Person A: Punches person B in the face

Person B: Punches person A back in return.

These actions are not equivalent. A instigated. B defended. A is being violent. B is not.

Person B: Destroys person A's property

Person A: Punches person B in the face

These actions are not equivalent. Person B did not perpetuate violence. They instigated, but A did not defend - they escalated from property damage to personal damage. B is not being violent. A is.

This ain't rocket science.
Nice for self development, but in the wrong hands this looks like a Taylorist micromanager's wet dream.
If I read the article right, the SQLite people don't use clang 11, but OSSFuzz does and someone ran it against SQLite and filed a bug. This bug turned out to not be a big in SQLite but in clang 11.

I'm not sure why OSSFuzz uses a prerelease compiler, but maybe it's purposefully for this reason, to add some extra surface area for finding compiler bugs?
I'm curious, how are all these initiatives defining who is eligible? Are half black people permitted? 1/4?
That's good advice, to always be vigilant about how a system would recover from a possible error/failure, at every layer. I imagine this is a discipline that a software developer or engineer learns from experience, by running into edge cases, weird bugs, corrupted state, crashes, etc.

It's quite a responsibility on the human side of software. Handling unexpected errors is a pretty easy thing to miss, for programmers who are inexperienced or have become too comfortable (not paying attention to every detail).

I can't help but think that the language or compiler (or tests, I suppose) could enforce this better, so that it forces the programmer to explicitly handle recovery from failures - at certain layers/thresholds - so that the error doesn't bubble up to the top and bring the whole thing down.

As you pointed out, an error in the UI layer shouldn't have been allowed to trigger a system crash loop. But, that's kind of the nature of bugs like these, they creep in through unexpected logic paths. In which case, the development environment needs to better enforce the (explicit) behavior of all possible paths that an error could take. Well, I'm sure that's constantly improving, as a perennial challenge of reliable software, and there will always be a need for discipline and attentiveness by the humans involved.
Not one that I'm aware of, and a quick check of modern online typing resources doesn't share the same bias. I guess it was either the teacher's preference or something she was taught in typewriter school.
I'm not one to touch politics, but wearing a mask is absolutely not a political statement. It's a sentiment that has been politicized, but the scientific argument for wearing a mask is very strong.

See the study published in Nature (1), or recommendations from reputable medical institutions like the Cleveland Clinic (2) and the Mayo Clinic (3) for better explanations than I could give.

I own several businesses in the hospitality and service sector and every single one of my employees are required to wear a mask for the protection of themselves and our guests. It's absolutely ridiculous that something as easy as wearing a mask is suddenly, "The Worst Thing in the World" and/or, "The Most Uncomfortable Thing I've Ever Done". I have awful seasonal allergies and asthma and when I'm at the office or out and about in public, I will wear my surgical mask the entire time. The only time my mask is off is when I'm in my car or at home.

I just can't get past the entitlement that some people have when they can't be bothered with sacrificing a tiny little bit of personal comfort to help slow the spread of a pandemic.

I apologize, but I'm just shocked. I expect better from my fellow HNers. Also, It's not entirely clear to me if you don't believe in wearing masks or if you're just making the comment that a mask is a political object (and by extension, websites should not display politically charged images). Either way, your comments in this thread have really thrown me for a loop.

I tend to avoid parseInt unless I explicitly need a specific radix. I find the Number function much more reliable in parsing numbers.

['1', '7', '11'].map(Number)

And if I explicitly need integers I can always filter the result

['1', '7', '11'].map(Number).filter(Number.isInteger)

It also doesn't silently parse '123thisisnotanumber' or `0x11`
All of this is fun. Sometimes I feel like writing, and sometimes I feel like messing with the website or the server it runs on. These tasks scratch different itches.

Honestly, I wouldn't trust the numbers reported by the Portugal, in particular the reported number of daily COVID-19 deaths, I feel the numbers are being misreported.

I have been closely following the progress of the situation in the country and the leadership is very messy and very clueless about the entire situation, both from the government and from the portuguese health agency in particular.
This comment is a meta-critique on the blog itself. I've noticed a recent trend arising on the web of applying a text shadow to code to make it seem like it's glowing. I don't know where people started thinking this was a good idea but I hope it doesn't gain too much traction. When I saw it in this blog, I blinked and rubbed my eyes because I actually thought my vision was blurring...

Another nitpick which may be totally invalid and I'm open to being educated on this. It seems odd (i.e. inaccurate) that, at the end, the myProgram.bundle.js is being called an "executable binary." It's just minified JavaScript. Is it a binary because it has been minified and optimized, or is all JavaScript suddenly considered "binary?"
It is unfortunate that this happened, and good luck proving that in court. Unless the virus that killed him had a unique trace/DNA/something that can show that the cousing contracted this from the employee, and that the employee contracted that from another employee, that she would only meet through work (i.e. they didn't make love, have lunch, take a stroll holding hands, etc.). I am not trying to judge the people, but it is difficult to prove that "THIS" happened only during my "9 to 5", and only within Amazon walls.
This doesn't pass the sniff test.

- Apple doesn't volunteer device unlocking to the government. Why would they help them reach into random people's phones to disable their cameras? This sounds like a pizzagate conspiracy theory.

- Apple patents everything they possibly can, even if they never intend to use it and for a variety of reasons.

- Cell phone jamming would be unsafe.

- Phones with cameras will still take pictures with cell, wifi, and bluetooth turned off.

- There's nothing preventing people from taking pictures using the previous method of whatever was happening, or supposedly happening, and then posting them later.

Something else happened like a stinger MITM blocking certain sites, cell tower issues/overload, or it's a fabrication.
