Clarification : Doctors won't try so hard to do thorough testing of the patient nor would they take a deep look to assess all symptoms.

But if they feel you know medicine or are capable of understanding medicine or have a drive to learn more about your condition, then they will try harder, do more tests, ask more questions, etc.
I and a lot of folks won’t submit to contact tracing. So it is infeasible in more ways than one.
Considering for most countries the published numbers are very debatable (even in Europe there are plenty of arguments), imho that’s a foolish strategy. Quarantine should probably be implemented worldwide. I say that against my best interests, I am long overdue a holiday, but I don’t want to feel my lungs full of water.

This is what has happened.

Does that mean you disagree with "the systems were nominal at best"?

> Many of the PHP extensions are direct exposure to underlying libraries. MySQL introduced a 'real escape string' in their client library, PHP exposed that directly. Had they ignored it, or renamed it, or changed param order, people would have complained about that too, no?

Don't most ecosystems use some type of namespace for that instead of exposing everything as global functions? Those practices were quite late to the PHP community.
I agree it's almost certainly true that it's just a made up term that happened to be what they picked that particular day and it stuck.

Its probably a failure of imagination on my part, but how does it promote systemic racism?
At this point isn't it just part of the lexicon ?
We can put a patient on oxygen without intubating them. High flow oxygen can provide up to 60 liters per minute. We can prone patients, and provide them with nutrition to help support their immune system. We save many patients with supportive care.

We can’t however cure the virus. And if it progresses far enough then no amount of oxygen will save a patient. These cases are hard because we have to watch someone die without any means to save them. Doing cpr on a patient with covid can feel pointless. If the lungs do work then no amount of chest compressions, oxygen, and cardiac drugs will save that person.
Not yet released but the DrNim documentation is available online [1]. DrNim is the tool that will provide Static Analysis to Nim (based on z3). This will be probably presented in the upcoming Nim Online conference in June 20 [2].

Its the conversation that literally the entire country and the world is having. People are paying attention to this in a real way. I don't think there's anything ridiculous about talking about how common it is to have bad or frightening experiences with police.

They're being asked to do literally everything but are armed and trained for anti-violence first and foremost.
This shouldn't just apply to native communities. It should apply to all important sites. Some things are important to everyone, so the landowner has a wider responsibility.
Yeah, and as a language code, "se" refers to Northern Sami.
On the other hand, with social distancing and masks, herd immunity comes at a lower level, even if mask-wearers still suffer >1 R0. So vastly fewer people die.

Simplistically, we don't want to lockdown or distance until we get to whatever that herd immunity level is. And then, a bit past that level, we might want to lockdown hard and then ease up to a steady-state lockdown, and then hold it there until the disease has passed.

The reason we'd lockdown hard and ease up is because, well, a continuity argument -- more lives are saved if you do a week of hard lockdown when 1000000 people are infected than if you wait until 10 cases remain.
Yes, I have several pis that boot from an sd card and then all of the file systems get mounted over NFS. The sd card only needs to be read from once every few weeks/months when it boots.

Even if it does wear out, storing all the data on NFS (or a usb drive) makes it a lot less worrying.
Not to hijack this thread but is there a collection of open source projects somewhere managed primarily by one person or a small number of people who don’t have a lot of funding but contribute to a good project in need of donations?
> Developers frequently store this stuff in plain text in their home directory or as environment variables

If you care about the security of these artifacts, why is their home directory (or their full disk) not encrypted? If they have access to the repository, they probably have artifacts downloaded on their laptops, so if the laptop is compromised, the artifacts are compromised anyway.

Edit:

Not saying temporary credentials are bad. But the reasons you gave seem a little suspect to me. A better reason is that you don't have to worry about invalidating the credentials when an employee stops working for you.
The discussion about valid email addresses reminded me of this article:

https://haacked.com/archive/2007/08/21/i-knew-how-to-validat...

For any programmer that's ever tried to validate email addresses it's an eye opener.
Probably my PlayStation 2 (non-slim version). I’m currently playing ‘Shadow of the Colossus’ for the first time.
You should give more info, are you in the us? If you are working as a dev then in my experience certification is not worth much. If you are working in a way that has a very particular work area (the old days, novell netware engineer) then it mattered.
Cool to see someone’s first Android app and approach. I’ve been building hybrid app with Jetpack compose and SwiftUI. It’s also my first Android app and I was a bit surprised to see how many different ways there are to do one thing and how many are outdated compared to iOS. Compose is pre alpha and nowhere near ready for production but you can see the potential it has, there are rumours from the Android team about work already done that lets it run on other platforms. You can guess which one it likely is.
Disclaimer: I run the infrastructure/ops team at the Internet Archive.

Unfortunately none of those numbers are really even close to correct (the discussion is always fun, but the folks in r/datahoarder are often not correctly informed. textfiles has more patience for it than I do). It would probably cost around 1.5M in drives, even at reasonable current enterprise volume pricing, to back up the 60+ PB of unique data in the Internet Archive (plus, as someone does note in that thread, the cost of running them -- even if it were a static backup to cold disks, you still need chassis to run them in for the backup process, space and infra for them, electricity, people, &c). I don't know offhand how much space the contents of the Wayback currently take up, but it's definitely an order of magnitude more than that number as well.
Everyone's gonna inundate you with their 20 favorite textbooks when you have such a general question.

For me, books for self-studying should have a slightly informal tone and ramble a little. The book is your teacher, and I'd like my teacher to speak to me as a student, not a theorem prover, as least when I'm starting. Spivak, Pugh and Axler are some good examples, while I could only grok Rudin after learning all the basic.

Not a lot of experience with physics but I like Symon's Classical Mechanics and Purcell for the same reason. Kleppner's mechanics book has very good exercises too.

Interesting. Of course I'd speculate that some service like AnonAddy [1] or just having a secondary, anonymous, domain would be a better solution. Or even the most simplest is using a somthing-else@lastname.com email as I would expect them to at least check both parts.

Worse case scenario, you could use firstname@subdomain.lastname.com. Even something like 1.lastname.com would likely work.

I suppose it depends on your reasons for using your own domain in the first place but having to employ the use of a gmail acount negates a lot of the privacy & security of a personal domain IMO.

It's fascinating that desk fans have had such a consistent design for over 100 years. Most surprising to me is that they've been able to oscillate for that long, too (since 1904!):

> Direct current desk fans were added in 1899. After acquiring a patent from Charles Eck for an oscillating fan mechanism, R&M put into production their unique DC "lollipop" oscillator in 1904, followed a few years later by an AC version. A sheet brass disk in front of the fan was acted upon by the air from the fan causing the fan to oscillate back and forth. Stops on the base of the fan were contacted by a pin at the bottom of the lollipop shaft to shift the disc to the other side, resulting in the fan oscillating to the other side.
This is all great information. FWIW, managing and automating anycasted 'middleboxes' for others is part of my work. The scary part, to me, is what paying customers demand. Largely, they don't want to fix broken or legacy systems, but just want an A+ on SSL-Labs. Of course, you can imagine the security implications of downgrading, or worse, terminating the TLS connection at the proxy. The end user has no idea their data is being sent in plaintext over the open web. I won't do such things, but I'm sure plenty of other companies are willing.

As far as mining goes, open-pit mining in the middle of butfuck nowhere in Australia seems pretty benign.

I do work in the steel fabrication industry though, so perhaps I have an unconscious bias in favour of iron ore mining.
@dang: could we have a commend option in addition to flag?

This comment, and a number of other comments from both sides in this thread proves that it is possible to have a good discussion on hot topics, and I live that as I feel I have now understood a lot more not only about what happened but also how it could happen.

edit: changed "can we get" to "could we have" to make it clear that this is not a feature request but an idea.

edit2: why I care is because so many of the most important discussions that come up get flagged down because they tend to be usalvagable. My hope was that this idea or something similar could help. I should also note that I don't think it would be easy to pull off as it would lead to accusations about favoritism etc.
> Regardless of whether that communication happens within a cluster, across clusters within a datacenter or VPC, or across the public Internet, Linkerd will establish a connection between clusters that's encrypted and authenticated on both sides with mTLS.

I'm not familiar with linkerd, but that at least points to it supporting mTLS. I'd assume/hope it's mandatory if it's enabled?
Even if hydro costs $0 or less than gas or whatever, there is the problem that it's vastly less compact that demon gas. The amount stored in the tanks in current gen cars like the toyota leads to them having low range. Plus they hdyro doesn't come from splitting water, it's all from splitting the hydro out of fossil fuels, usually nat gas.
Back when I did HPC work, I used Blosc to compress information about atoms for molecular dynamics simulations before transferring this data between the Infiniband interconnects. Despite the high speed of the interconnects, it was actually faster to compress, transmit, and decompress using Blosc than to transmit only the raw data.
I feel you, but alas it's by no means guaranteed that the "free market" would replace it with anything better. The same pressures would exist on any replacement, and those pressures all point to what you're calling garbage. We're lucky that something as quirky as Reddit got to succeed as well as it did.

It would be awesome if we could collectively get to the point where growth didn't have to trump everything else, so exploiting people's attention didn't have to dominate everything else, so more interesting and long-term satisfying things could flourish. It's unfortunately not clear what the path from here to there might look like.

I think about this a lot because Hacker News, for all its problems and fractiousness, is in sort of a blessed position where we're not subject to those same pressures and can optimize for other things. But it's also two orders of magnitude smaller than Reddit, which means we're not facing the same problems at all. If I think about facing those problems at that scale, the phrases 'sheer terror' and 'passing out' come to mind.
I think it's because "wife test" looks a lot like "wife acceptance factor" [1], which has a much more degrading meaning than what you wanted to convey.

Yea that's kind of insane isn't it?

I wish there was a lite version of the Web with enforced resource constraints
what do you feel the problem is?
Yeah, but that's availability bias. That's my point. There's a lot of shill accounts on reddit posting this stuff with plenty of upvotes, but the comments are critical of the piece. These are obviously shill/bot accounts promoting this, probably by some PR firm out there.

The thing is, police brutality is heavily promoted on the news right now because, well, it outrages people, that's the point. It generates more ad revenue that way.

But if you hear it and see this every day, and someone says the word "police", your mind immediately thinks of "brutality". Not that it doesn't exist, but availability bias makes the issue seem much bigger than it actually is. This is why it's a bias.

And to put the danger of racist white police officers into perspective: https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/163/274/fbf...

Yes, racists are a problem, but not a very big one.
The cynic might say “because in a year this will all have blown over and we can get back to selling”.
Why do you think it helps creators?

I'm also a Youtube Premium subscriber, but a creator told me that Google pays less after my views than views from non-premium youtube viewers.
I think that's right, but organizationally challenging to implement.

In my experience engineers don't really think through this question carefully, and have to be prodded to do the right thing, or at least the thing that better serves others or their future selves.

There's also a hump to get over until network effects take over, where engineers have strong incentives to participate in the monorepo.

In your iOS vs web team example, we might imagine that they eventually want to run an integration test against the same API, whose team helpfully provides a hermetic version of the service for testing against. (Dropbox wrote some bazel rules for this sort of thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muvU1DYrY0w)

May I ask why? I assume this is because many people think it is better that a left-leaning newspaper doesn't publish right-wing opinion pieces, but I would think that this creates a "bubble" and prevents readers from challenging their own opinions.

A reduced version of this question would be: if Hitler/Xi/Kim were to publish an opinion piece in NYT, should they reject it or should they publish it?
The publishers should stop now that they've taken them down, but this was grossly irresponsible of the Internet Archive to do this, and they brought it on themselves. Releasing all of these copyrighted books for free hurt authors who rely on royalties to live, and it was inevitable that publishers would sue. I honestly don't understand why they did it. They have a responsibility as custodians of the archive to not put it at risk of destruction.
It just enrages me everytime I see a festools used. (It's the biggest brand on ask this old house) They're really expensive.
The Linux kernel is not a big project. Sure, it's bigger than your average one-file-one-function-npm-package, but not as big as people think. Dropbox, Google, Facebook, … their repositories are far larger, perhaps by several orders of magnitude.

Seriously?
I didn't read the post that way. I feel scaling is a small issue more so organization. Graphql does make sense for something like source hunt.

Why not use type hints in python? Isn't that a good enough substitute?

I wonder why go instead of rust if he wanted static typing, long term ease of maintanence and performance. Go's type system is not great especially for something like graphql. Gqlgen relies heavily on code generation. Last time I used it, I ran into so many issues. I ditched go together after several painful clashes with it that community always responded with: oh you don't need this.

(yeah except they implemented all those parts in arguably worse ways and ditched community solutions in the next few years)

One major benefit the GP fails to mention is that with graphql, it is easy to generate types for frontend. This makes your frontend far more sane. It's also way easier to test graphql since there are tools to automatically generate queries for performance testing unlike rest.

There is no need to add something for docs or interactivity like swagger.
I hope they bring back the old. days xD

This quote stuck out to me:

>Today, the Python backends to the web services communicate directly with PostgreSQL via SQLAlchemy, but it is my intention to build out experimental replacement backends which are routed through GraphQL instead. This way, the much more performant and robust GraphQL backends become the single source of truth for all information in SourceHut.

I wonder how adding a layer of indirection can significantly improve performance. If I were writing this service, I would go all in on GraphQL and have the frontend talk to the GraphQL services directly rather than routing the requests from Python through to a GraphQL service then presumably to PostgreSQL.

Perhaps I am missing something. Indeed good luck to Drew here.
You have a commend button, it's the little up arrow to the left of the comment.
Fair point. The ever-present tradeoff between features and simplicity... I guess for my fairly vanilla use case of talking to my friends or colleagues at work, there are just a lot of easier options.

Scaling Engineering Organizations
I've driven past there a couple of times in the last few months (filming on Eyre Peninsula) and even something of that scale is a blip. Take away mining and grazing and absolutely massive areas of Australia would barely be of interest to humans.

Iron Knob is an eyesore, but if it weren't for the roadside warning signs for the others in that locale, you might not know they were there.

>One major benefit the GP fails to mention is that with graphql, it is easy to generate types for frontend. This makes your frontend far more sane.

By GP (grandparent?) do you mean the article / blog post?

Because if so I see no indication that Drew plans to adopt a SPA architecture -- he seems intent on continuing to use server side rendering with little javascript, which would make "frontend types" sort of irrelevant.
Yeh I used to use that before. Good alternative
Well he'll be better than Thomas Seibel would be.
Would it not be easier to just pack into different base images? Docker is very efficient with reusing these layers.

Okay,I did the chat. It was easy to tell it was a bot (or a human pretending to be dysfunctional). It was interesting,but it was the first time I really tried the Turing test in a serious way.
While factually true, this does not defeat the point: those non-profit and public hospitals rely on paid procedures to pay their employees. And yes, those employees are furloughed and laid off en masse.
"Louisville public agencies [refused] to release records underlying the Taylor case, including the incident report, 911 calls made in the incident and Taylor's autopsy report.

"The city has since released Walker's 911 call — but only after an attorney for Taylor's family gave it to news media hours earlier."

That 911 call can be heard here: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/05/28/breonn...
> This fact is missing something essential; Kaiser Permanente is a nonprofit but it sure isn't what you think of when you use that term.

Why is that? You don't think they lay people off in Canada or Japan when there's no patients? Even single-payer systems can have private hospitals. They are simply paid by the govt instead of (or really in addition to) by patients. They still need business and to balance the books.

Canada has a similar mix of all kinds of hospitals like the US, though it may be more slanted in some way.
Is the bad guy a couple of cops who we hold to the impossible standard of not returning fire? Or are no-knock warrants the bad guy which routinely cause deaths for the sole purpose of keeping some drugs from being flushed down the toilet?

Because one of these is very easy to fix and would 100% mean Taylor would still be alive. The other would be super difficult to fix and who knows if it would have saved her life.
Code generation (of types and clinet/server stubs) can be done with any IDL (interface definition language). OpenAPI, GRPC, Thrift etc etc all support it. No reason to choose GraphQL only because of this.

The power in GraphQL comes from the graph and flexibility in fetching what you need. Usefull in general purpose APIs (like GitHub has).
