Christian 'revolution'? What nonsense. The missionaries were never interested in revolution (not in the modern sense at least), but converting people to Catholicism. St. Bede's History of the Church in England is a good example. Or the life of St. Boniface. The term "Dark Ages" was coined by anti-Christians to undermine the conversion of Europe to the Catholic faith.
Sorry, it’s not usually up to young web developers on whether to use a SPA or not, nor whether to prioritize accessibility.

Advocating accessibility is nice though, so do try.
It's even more of a problem because the whold world uses basically just one implementation (ffmpeg).
On the hunt for file formats to pass I ended up implementing a parser for the CIF format https://github.com/EliotJones/BioCif

It's great that these projects to create open data stores exist.
I mean the term as it is being used by Zoom and others, not just the acronym. What I commented is that I am not interested in the term "end-to-end encryption". To me, at this point, it does not mean anything. It is no more meaningful than "cloud computing", "big data" or "AI". I prefer to read source code, not marketing copy. I want to know what something "does" not what it "is". The former is factual the later is potentially subjective. IMO, it is irrelevant what you or I know or do not know. No one really cares. Focus on the comment, not trying to make assumptions about the user who submitted it.

Example comment: "Peer-to-peer is a viable design for videoconferencing for small groups. If one is concerned about a "middle man" then it is worth investigating a peer-to-peer design."
Wow this looks promising, wonder if the technique can be used to cheaply prototype optics. Stratasys has VeroClear but material properties aren’t ideal (e.g., lack of heat resistance), and injection molding is rather expensive for making a bunch of one-off prototypes.
The Adobe PDF printer driver is pretty good. And Word’s H&J isn’t as good as TeX, but gives you some nice fine-grain manual control over things like kerning.
I'm probably taking the wrong lesson away here, because from an outside perspective the message seems to be "don't waste time interviewing someone who currently works for Netflix".

You'll either waste your time, or get buyer's remorse. Very little upside.
Does kind of feel that way. Having a full Windows Desktop with good graphics drivers and software like Microsoft Office, Photoshop, commercial games etc. and Linux for the programming/server-software side of things.

I have literally no reason to dual-boot with Ubuntu anymore. WSL2 and Visual Studio Code fulfils all my Linux coding requirements.

Maybe (probably?) a bad thing but it's damn convenient.
Hardly. It's 14 words, not 14 anything else. Furthemore, neo-Nazis have in fact also used these numbers in their esoteric numerology in varying degrees of freedom.
Also the term "Open Core" is used by some people to refer to software when the current release is proprietary and older releases are open source.

Naming a hardware product for a software licensing model seems unlikely, but then again naming a hardware product after a boot loader seems likewise fairly unlikely.

FWIW this is not a comment on the scam level, or lack thereof, of the company making prebuilt hackintoshes.

Although it's worth asking, did the eruption affect agricultural output in Iceland? Maybe modern farming is just resilient enough against volcanic eruptions, as it is against all the other things that used to cause famines.
That one is difficult to manufacture, so the effort necessary would be much higher.
I know upvote already exists, but I deeply want to +1 on this one. If Mozilla does it, I'd be a happy customer to.
Yes, you do get to break the law after working inside the system fails. You know this country was founded by people breaking the laws of England, right?
How about FastMail? They have a stellar email service. They also offer contacts and calendars, though I don't personally use those (I use iCloud for that).
Pity. CUDA was/is proof positive that Linux on the desktop is perfectly feasible and that you can use it to both do a UI and do meaningful computation on the same machine without getting tied down into all kinds of licensing schemes. Opening this further up to Windows gives fewer people a really good reason to try out Linux as their daily driver. I personally don't get why any developer would prefer Windows over Linux with its near infinite software repositories related to all things developers would like.
Exactly. In other words 86% of Swedes who had reason to suspect an infection and wherewithal to request testing and provide sample did not have COVID.
Essentially everyone is against Nazis/etc. Antifa has rather different goals--otherwise we'd just call them people.

One potential problem is that any error in the markup might be the basis of a class-action suit; it's safer just to provide the full text, and there is no benefit to providing the markup.
Ask HN: What is the best way to find a UI/UX designer?

I know this is pedantic, but based on the order of events in the article wouldn’t 543 be the worst year to be alive? By then you would have experienced the cumulative horror of starving and freezing through two volcanic events and watching a third to half of your friends and family die of plague. 536 would have a been frightening and confusing as the volcanic fog began to roll in, but you couldn’t know the terror of what was to come.

Huh, I never thought about the demand shift from WFH. Much easier to blame hoarders. But this makes a lot of sense, thanks for pointing this out.

So what sense was the symbol meant in? What’s the alternative, plausible explanation? And no, using a red triangle to mean “antifa” is not plausible given how much more common “flags in a circle” is for the group.
I have not used any cash since beginning of April. Normally I use more cash than the average person in my situation here. But since corona using cash is often seen as being anti-social, disrespecting other's health, so I did not want to be provocative. Last week libraries fully opened and I took a couple of photocopies for 30 cents/page. They have stopped accepting cash, so I paid by credit card.

This is Finland, YMMV.

If Mozilla launched Momail or Firemail, I'd pay for it before paying for HEY or Fastmail.

Agreed. We are open source from day one: https://github.com/every-two-years. The only piece that isn't open source at the moment is our donations page and I'm working to fix that.

We don't have any formal analysis yet, being a bit more transparent about why everyone has an X right now (it's the default) might help too?
Why would a VPS server be any more secure than a VPN provider?
They have the same ability to view outgoing traffic and can very easily log the source ip address.
Intensional intuitionistic type theory is a programming language. Throw in higher inductive types (still a programming language at this point) and Voevodsky's univalence and you've got HoTT. Then sure, the simplicial model is not constructive, whereas the cubical models give computational meaning to univalence, but they're still just that, models of HoTT. So would you prefer I had said HoTT has models that are programming languages?
Oh, misread authors I guess.

In my case, 99% of the time I’m fine with what the linter spits out. In cases where I want a particular structure I just wrap ignore directives around the section and move on with my life
Because I can't.

There aren't a ton of open positions in my area right now.

I've been in obscure/obsolete tech for too long (neoxam and filenet).

I have a family to support, so I need the pay and benefits.

Otherwise, I would probably leave tech for something like construction. I'm tired of the unrealistic expectations.
Reminds me of this comparison from my childhood:

Booth ran from the theater and was caught in a warehouse; Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a theater.[5]
It was never a lead. The first study pushing it was immediately recognized as broken. No better evidence ever came along. No plausible mechanism of action was proposed.

I get where you're coming from. But I mean, it's a downward red triangle. I could see myself accidentally using it like this. Googling "red down emoji arrow" gives that red triangle as the first result.
Yup. It’s a false choice, like convincing someone you’re not paranoid. It’s an interesting trick.
No one claimed infections "top out" at 10-20 %. I agree, that is CLEARLY untrue. Rather, they seem to "level off" at 10-20%. That is, the rate of spread/new infections stops increasing so fast. Exponential infections always follow an S curve, but usually the leveling off of new infections starts at much higher penetration levels (e.g., 50%).
Hm, I wouldn't say so for the superlinter specifically. If you actually look at the source, it doesn't seem particularly hard to maintain.
That is an mechanism which insulates even well-documented conspiracies that use numerical symbols as identification banners, which is probably why certain of them do exactly that.
1Tbyte for $1-$0.5, that gives you 30Gbyte per day. At $5 resale, there's some room for profits.

If I am not mistaken, that's 10 hours of video streaming in excellent quality per day.
I hope this pandemic has opened everyone’s eyes to the benefits of disaster preparedness. If more of us get into the habit of stocking up in advance, we would experience less of a spike in demand when the next disaster strikes.
Hope we don't see things like: "Google announces today that to work around Windows' file path length limitations, Tensorflow's directory structure is being rewritten to use three characters or less per directory."
Naming is irrelevant. You can make a group named anti-evil do anything. They would say "Are you anti-anti-evil? Are you for evil? What is wrong with you?"
Opinions or preferences aside, I thought this was very well written! Enjoyable to read, and I learned a lot about pixels, fonts, screens et-cetera that I did not know before!
> Django + Bootstrap

Does the language of the CMS matter? Django is Python, but we are a .NET shop. Would Django still work for us or should we look into a CMS like Orchard or Umbraco?
Hoarding? It is available in the US by prescription only. The only hoarding that could occur is by the people best qualified to control its use - medical professionals. The government screwed that up too by trying to prevent them from prescribing the medication unless the government approved. The artificial shortage of this drug came from clueless politicians and media promoting its unproven effectiveness causing an unnecessary spike in demand.
I would choose not to use the app unless there was very clearly value for the cost.

If a service was literally doing as you say, charging more through Apple's App Store vs their site, I would choose not to use that app. At all.

Part of the real appeal is the pro-consumer parts of the App Store. Like I said, being informed before renewal is something that very few services do but Apple does for any subscription.

Edit: to be clear, I think even $99 is too expensive for Hey.com. This is my opinion. Some people may find value there, but I don't think Hey does enough to justify being more expensive than Fastmail (which also has important features, to me, that Hey doesn't).
Do note this is exactly Trump's gaslit arguments (vile, digusting, untrue, etc.) for attacking the free media.

Not just the worst year to be alive, but also the beginning of the worst century to be alive:

"The repeated blows, followed by plague, plunged Europe into economic stagnation that lasted until 640."

Imagine the kind of horror and suffering that a century of global economic stagnation inflicts on generations of people.

This could be a crucial argument in that it distinguishes between the essential freedom of device owners to decide what software to run, and the freedom of device manufacturers to decide which apps to sell in their stores and at what terms (still subject to anti-trust laws).

Unfortunately, the $99 annual fee per developer account nullifies any possible mass-market sideloading possibilities. (Imagine what could happen if sideloading apps from source was free just highly impractical, and HEY turned their rage into a free Apple developer account management & sideloading SaaS offering.)
Makes sense or have nokia feature phone with kaios and pinephone
Contracts are only important when there is a disagreement. When everyone is getting along (which is most of the time), the contract can be verbal, cocktail, form, or lengthy, and it doesn't matter. You can see this from the fact that the most contentious subjects (such as construction) have the most rigorous contracts.

IANAL, but I have never heard of a lawyer writing a contract on a napkin, or advising a client to do so; and they say verbal contracts are worth the paper they're written on.
You mean trying to create conflict with China? It’s been ongoing for some time. The US has been threatening China and surrounding it militarily.

Yeah I just started using Windows 10/WSL yesterday and I have to say I'm impressed. Are there any downsides/painpoints I should be aware of?
There are a number of factors, but the simplest gist:

1. The models for road funding and development were developed in the 1920s and 30s, were based on much denser areas (old towns) that paid a lot higher taxes per acre, and much simpler roads (which cost a lot less).

2. The models haven't been significantly updated or reconsidered since, even though the development patterns have been mandated by law to become much less dense, while street standards have also greatly increased, meaning much less tax base to support much more infrastructure.

3. This often pencils out in places that are growing because there are heavy state and federal subsides for "growth" projects where the up front capital cost is 80-100% paid for by non-local funds. That infrastructure works without maintenance for a while, and likely won't need heavy maintenance for 20-30 years, but at that point it'll need to be rebuilt at about the same cost adjusted for inflation as it cost to build.

In theory what should be happening is cities should be piling up money from taxes on these projects that were subsidized, so that when the maintenance bill comes due they have the funds to do the maintenance.

But in practice, the taxes that come in from "today's" new growth are used to pay for the maintenance on "yesterdays" old infrastructure that needs to be replaced.

Thus, things appear to "work" as long as steady growth continues and new tax income continues to be generated locally while the costs associated are funded from outside. But when growth slows down or stops, things quickly break down.

You can see this pattern of "rolling blight" all over the country, where so many of the older suburbs are falling apart with decaying infrastructure, and people who can are moving farther out to the "shiny and new" suburbs where everything is in good shape.

The problem is especially pernicious in the rust belt, where we have seen metro areas dramatically expand in surface area every decade even as their population has barely increased (or shrunk) since the 1950s.
The LSAT gets a makeover
At the very start of the article:

> when they cannot safely distance from other people

So it's not a mandatory requirement at all times. You can still go for a walk or a hike without a mask, as long as you're able to properly maintain 6 feet of distance.
I was just thinking about that. If I were in a wheel chair there's no way I'd just roll down the middle of the street like OP does. If a car comes down the street, what am I supposed to do? It doesn't matter if only "people who live on that street use it." That just means people in wheelchairs can't really live on the street
HCQ is generic and sells for less than $10. Newer treatments are often more than $1000.
Well, CUDA is about the opposite of open source. It needs special hardware and a closed source driver.

CUDA on Windows was already a big deal in engineering. Scientists and academics preferred Linux (and python, and docker) and Windows is playing catch up there to become compatible with the tools that have grown in popularity over the last 5 years.

Personally, as an open source advocate, I think competition (even from MS) is healthy. It drives everyone to build a better product.

I have an immediate family member with rheumatoid arthritis who struggled to fill their prescription through Kaiser because of this as well. It caused a lot of stress in my family.

That's a good point. I think it riles up the base, but serves to try to bring people to their side by nature of:
"Look how crazy the left wing big tech companies are they censor red triangles"

You're spot on that the base is already sold and doesn't need to be convinced.
Indeed. I'm not sure why WSL has consistently required some bleeding edge version of Windows to run. I remember trying to get on a managed desktop at work a couple of years ago and apparently the LTS version of Windows used in the enterprise is even farther behind.
Hardly anyone makes it to a single decade, much less multiple. Maybe at a law firm, but not in a development role.

I’m guessing you’re a webdev and this is normal for that industry but in more “traditional” fields programmers behave much more like other white-collar workers. I’ve met plenty with 20-30 year stunts at the same company.

This is finally the year of the Linux desktop. However, it is running on Windows as WSL.

With this support now for CUDA now, it can be argued that the best, most versatile developer experience is on Windows. You now have access to all the Windows specific tools (such as Visual Studio) as well as all the Linux tools in a very seamless environment.
