I've been surprised that Trump has been so toothless in the contest against Twitter. I thought for sure things like this, or when they apply the different labels or restrictions to his tweets, would've set him off and made him do something against Twitter.

> While our software systems have become increasingly elastic, the physical substrate available to run that software (that is, the computer!) has remained stuck in a bygone era of PC architecture. Hyperscale infrastructure providers have long since figured this out, building machines that are fit to purpose -- but those advances have been denied to the mass market. In this talk, we will talk about our vision for a new, rack-scale, server-side machine -- and how we anticipate advances like open firmware, RISC-V, and Rust will play a central role in realizing that vision.
This is exactly why I love the simple Casio designs too. The F91W is so light and simple, and I have ZERO fear of washing my hands with it or bashing it in to the wall while pulling cables. I usually forego the F91W for something like the WS1200 or the SPH-600, usually about double the price of the F91W but with a bunch more features AND still not scary to wear in any situation.

It would be nice if Firefox added a separate category for "Political Call to Action" notifications. That way we wouldn't have to miss out on "Product and Feature Tips", which are occasionally helpful. A bit of a moot point for me since I'm using FF on a Nexus 7 that doesn't support that level of selective muting

Yeah, sure. Why not?
I love Mary Beard and highly recommend her SPQR, which is a Roman history more or less with the midpoint as the fall of the Republic and transition to Empire... a very apt piece of history in the current political climate.

I would be happy to hear suggestions of other historian writers to broaden my perspectives.

> it was the first time I realized that disagreement about historical method might be important (rather than something you dutifully nodded to at the beginning of an essay, before moving on regardless)

Now that is something that should be taken and applied everywhere. Realizing the value of disagreement respecting the differences of opinion, and taking action to not just have an obligatory sense of doing so but actually making the effort. These days it seems everybody is right and whoever disagrees is a fool or worse. (and everyone else is silent)

Same question as the last time [0]: I see the benefit of wasm extensions and I see how to enable them in "manual" compilation (for rustc, -C target-feature=+bulk-memory), but I didn't yet find a documented way of using them in wider used setups like wasm-pack. I'd love to try recompiling a full project with these features, but I just can't find out how to do it.

The release notes say "The wasm-bindgen documentation includes guidance for taking advantage of externref from Rust", but I didn't yet find anything about it there either.

My first reaction was very different from yours; the desire to dogfood feels excessive, to me, and negates the point in having a public roadmap in the first place.

Am I wrong for presuming that the people who would most care about GitHub's public roadmap probably aren't even GitHub users?

EDIT: Thanks for the replies, everyone. Seems like I hadn't fully comprehended the range of features available to paying members - given this knowledge, choosing to do the roadmap in this form makes more sense to me.
Yes.

But it's set off by the missing manager salary in the whole chain.

... which is still up 6% from its 5-year low (January 2018), up 24% from its 10-year low (April 2014), and down 6% yoy.

>I’m curious to hear tomorrow how the Fed intends to address this.

What is there for the Fed to address? A weaker dollar, in and of itself, benefits US exports and reduces the trade deficit.

Far from struggling. COVID, the looming election, and the riots have made it a boom time for gun sales.

virus has died down in Europe and Asia, although may be upticking in Europe again.

Seems clear it's not heat related though - In Europe when people socially distanced there were few cases. As people are more blasé about it cases start to tick back up.
FWIW it is getting worse just now in the south of Brazil, where we have colder winters.
Yeah, the relationship I implied doesn't actually work both ways - but anyone who has written off the WHO is sure not to take their advice, and I have a hard time seeing anyone who hasn't written off WHO ignoring COVID. But people who have written off the WHO could still not write off COVID.

And based upon your assessment, you'd seem to agree with her point - "It’s going to be one big wave. It’s going to go up and down a bit. The best thing is to flatten it and turn it into just something lapping at your feet"
I hope a couple years from now we look back on these times with a lessons learned mentality and a stronger sense of fellowship as a world. If we can get here I know we can get out, I just dearly hope it is sooner rather than later.
How do you make a better one? It's a human problem, a social interaction problem, not a tech one. Novices want to ask all the didn't-even-read-the-official-docs and don't-want-to-do-my-own-homework questions they want, and the more experienced users don't want to see those kinds of low-bar questions.

In my not so humble opinion, the mods on SO gets a lot of shit, but I think they're not strict enough. SO is absolutely brimming with low-bar questions and answers. Best case that is all noise, worst case, the wrong and misinformed answers (by people portraying expertise) ends up in production code.

It's worth pointing out that MacPorts still has a lot of modern tools and utilities working for PowerPC Macs.

> The modeling from IMHE shows that in March the number of daily new infections were above 250K whereas today are about 120K.

Yeah, but the IHME model is also extremely bad. It consists almost entirely of fitting a Gaussian to the number of cases over time. It’s mathematically impossible in their model for the case count to not go down.
There are loud internet agitators/troll who do this. It's important to not take that as some kind of opinion poll. "One Click One Vote" is a terrible slogan.

Not that I have a poll to offer, though some have surely been done.

I base what I say on most conservatives I'm aware of saying so. I can't think of any "name" conservative who has said the opposite.
With all the debacles from WHO including the most disastrous one of trusting Chinese authorities and declaring there is no human to human transmission till January, I think I can be forgiven for not taking anything WHO says seriously anymore.

WHO needs a leadership change at the least for getting back any sort of the authority they used to have.
Industry is very strong, but PE-controlled Remington has lost their way. What's interesting to me is the 700 action design is becoming the dominant default pattern from custom manufacturers. Bighorn, ARC, Defiance, GAP, Kelbly's, Curtis, Ultimatum, Stiller, Surgeon, BAT Machine, Terminus, Impact, Falcor, Vudoo, etc. - all are compatible with a huge variety of stocks and triggers designed for the Remington 700 action specs. It will be odd if the actual Remington 700 is not in that list anymore, given the popularity of the design.

Statistics improve but what’s that mean for raw numbers?

Instead of 10s of millions on ventilators, and millions dead it’s millions on ventilators and hundreds of thousands dead?

Statistics are great for science but awful for social policy.

Problem is in Winter you also have normal flu season, pressure on hospitals is higher, etc.

The reason the UK locked down was to "protect the NHS". The lockdown worked - dramatically, spread was cut to almost zero overnight, the extra hospitals that were built weren't needed.
This is a bit ironic, since this is exactly the description that Americans generally have of the Japanese.
It is not necessarily the case that Floyd died from a knee on his neck. His official autopsy (not the "independent" one paid for by his family) shows that he had a potentially lethal level of fentanyl in his system (11 ng/mL) in addition to 19 ng/mL of methamphetamine (https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:bPUNU7...). That combination of drugs is one variant of what's known as a "speedball". It can cause death by respiratory failure. https://www.addictioncenter.com/drugs/heroin/speedball/. The autopsy also says "No life-threatening injuries identified", in particular "No injuries of anterior muscles of neck or laryngealstructures", so it is unlikely that the death was caused by Derek Chauvin putting his knee on Floyd's neck.

There is also the problem of motivation. What possible reason could Derek Chauvin have to murder George Floyd? Surely he understood that doing such a thing could cost him his job, risk imprisonment, and make it very hard for him to find employment. Much more likely is that he believed the hold he used was nonlethal, and, given what we know from the Hennepin County autopsy, that it actually was nonlethal.

There isn't really a "full-on winter" in the southern hemisphere except in the southernmost parts of Chile/Argentina/Australia or in New Zealand. That makes it difficult to compare.
That's a really nice presentation.

I hope that they are able to pull it off. It's ambitious, but they now have a sweet sugar daddy, and can afford it.

Is there reason to believe that the US's poor pandemic response is due to a general unwillingness to pull together? There are scattered stories of people hosting irresponsible gatherings and being jerks about masks, but those are available in every country I know of.

This is welcome, but anyone else feeling that GitHub is moving in the more-stuff-lower-quality direction? In particular I've wasted quite a bit of time over the past year on scarcely documented features and misfeatures around GitHub Actions. (To be clear I like GitHub Actions a lot.)

One example: just yesterday I found out that public images on GitHub Packages Docker registry can't be used in GitHub Actions' jobs.<job_id>.container, since the former is gated by auth for whatever goddamn reason and the latter can only pull from public registries. Think about it, their (probably #1) container-related feature can't use their own registry. Apparently people have been complaining for almost a year now, yet nothing has changed.

There was a recent HN post about the declining quality of Google search in that most search results seem to be more and more leading to SEO spam. Is your experience with Google Search different?
I'm assuming that you are referring to smooth scrolling behavior, since it doesn't feel quite right to me.

options > browsing >

then uncheck smooth scrolling option

It would be nice if FF had a slider to adjust the speed. The default smooth scrolling for me is too slow (my eyes jump ahead which makes me feel nauseous).
I think this is a great idea and improvement, because now I have the opportunity to invest in very interesting startups that where previously hardly analyzed by people that really know about these type of companies, without needing a great amount of money and from any part of the world.

Also, it is a great opportunity for those startups that are working really hard to create new ideas and products to ease the problems that the world is going through due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
And just to be clear, it's neither like the Coronavirus (COVID-19), nor is it any sort of Coronavirus - it's the Influenza virus.
I must say at the expense of HN karma this made me laugh. A good joke should never be down-voted.
How much is the potential of loss prevention anyways? I've seen tangible effects in store where certain products are behind glass shelves and you must get permission to purchase one and then it goes in this funky plastic box you take with you to checkout, sometimes right around the corner by the glass cage. I'm assuming theft is growing to have responses like that enacted which are incredibly inconveniencing especially when there's no affiliate nearby.

Knowing I'll burn up a bunch of time waiting for one of those lockdowns to be opened I usually order online and pickup in store those items I know are locked up.
Yes, I specifically meant "worse in the US." I should have been more specific.

> Am I wrong for presuming that the people who would most care about GitHub's public roadmap probably aren't even GitHub users?

I think so. I'm a GitHub user and I like being able to view their roadmap.

Think about it this way. GitHub is a giant piece of software that developers use. Software changes, and developers are particularly sensitive to this. We're constantly fixing bugs and factoring code to support dependency shifts (or choosing to snapshot ourselves at some preestablished point of stability).

Given our sensitivity to change and how important GitHub's product is to our productivity it's crucial that we're not hit with surprises. A properly communicated roadmap helps avoid that -- thought admittedly it does take some work on our part as customers to parse it. That said this is no different than reading release notes and documentation for the software and libraries we use elsewhere in our day to day.
Many Americans held on to fantasies of escape to countries with functioning institutions in case of a collapse like this one. We never thought it would be us trapped in a country going down in flames. It's my friends with Taiwanese passports who have tickets to freedom and safety, and my US passport that commits me to die. This is at least an interesting and newsworthy inversion!
1% of sales for Walmart is ~3-4% of profit. That's huge.
That's not much perspective. It's down 10% but part of the reason why is that it was up quite a bit earlier this year. There was a dollar shortage and the fed opened swap lines to alleviate. It's not that weak, and would need quite a bit of weakening to get to where it was in 2018, further weakening to get to where it was in 2013, not to mention 2011.

A public roadmap functions as a communications tool and sounding board. However, it does not negate strong product leadership or moderation of course.

Interestingly, my small SaaS was using GitHub projects as a public roadmap for the last 2 years already! Even at our small scale it has already proven useful for finding beta users, getting feedback etc.

I have a similar rule of thumb for learning to code: never buy educational content (video, course, books) if you can't evaluate the value of that content by yourself. The outcome is learning a lot from free content (there is a lot of it out there for software development) until you know precisely what do you need to learn in more depth and which is the resource that has it.

The difference is that in software development educational resources, the cheapest ones are not necessarily the worst. There is almost no correlation between quality and price in most topics. So the phrasing would be more like "Start with the cheapest resource for the topic" (which most of the time means free).

I used this principle myself while learning to code and it worked out great. I could get a good first job as a frontend developer without buying any learning resource (freecodecamp.org + official documentation + posts/tutorials + stack overflow).

If you can't evaluate for yourself if something is worth buying, and have to trust another person of its value, you are not ready for that content yet.
