Oh wow, this actually helped me fix it. I had to downgrade to 1Password4 for Windows (no mention my license only works with that version), and after that I was able to enter my old license key.

By hidden I meant the downloads page is only linked in the footer. All of the main 'Get Started' and 'Try Free for 30 Days' links funnel you into their subscription process. I thought signing into my account might help, but then realized I'm not able to do so in a 'legacy' account because I don't have a secret key.

What a confusing and hostile user experience to 'legacy' license purchasers. It's like they are trying to forget that we ever existed.

You are mistaken, BLM around the world is not a protest against the US, it is a protest for better treatment of black people everywhere. People in the occident don't have guts to protest the US, unless it is coming from some left wing party that is then viewed as extremist.
OCaml (and probably Standard ML) also have powerful module systems that I would argue rival Modula-2's module system.

I don't really buy the core premise that "Enhanced user convenience and functionality supposedly justify the increased size of software, but a closer look reveals these justifications to be shaky".

Users can still choose to use vi, or emacs, or textpad, or whatever stripped-down, fast, minimalist software they prefer; the old stuff hasn't gone away. Meanwhile, my IDE re-compiles/re-parses my program as I type, and tells me immediately if there are errors. I choose to use the bigger, "slower" program because it makes me dramatically more productive. Sure, input latency might not be as good as a barebones editor, but that cost more than pays for itself (as always, for me -- YMMV).

I can appreciate the aesthetic desire for a lean, minimal program, but to ignore the very real productivity benefits that come from tolerating larger programs is, I think, myopic.

This comes up around here a lot in the context of slow web pages; a very important thing to note that I think is often overlooked is that it's not just the user's productivity that matters. If developers have to spend 2x the time optimizing their code to fit in a limited memory allocation, then that's 2x the cost to the consumer for the same amount of features (or 1/2 the features for the same price). If speed/performance is a feature that your customers want to pay for, they will let you know. If it's not, then your competitor will eat your lunch by building more features that users actually care about, while you optimize your existing feature-set.

Programs are bounded by "feels slow" on one side, and "expensive to optimize further" on the other. If 99.9% of your users (i.e. the lay users, excluding the experts in the HN crowd) don't perceive your program/page to be slow, why would you optimize further? Sure, if you're Google, a few ms faster can equate to millions of dollars of revenue, but that's not the fitness landscape that most software evolves in.
There's a lot more data here that specifically tested about vitamin-D levels in early and late stages:
http://agingbiotech.info/vitamindcovid19/

I agree that causation hasn't been completely proven, but there's a lot of data to support it could be causative.
From the paper:

> After correction for age, sex and previous illnesses, the risk of death is 10 times higher for people with vitamin D deficiency.

That said, it could still be correlative and not causative with some different underlying health issue.
Unless Google is noticing my IP and doing user tracking in Firefox Private tabs, it's not user tracking. It's just understanding the query better.
The penalty is quite small, 1-3 cycles each direction. RAM latency is 1-2 orders of magnitude more than that, even L1D level of cache is many cycles away. Replacing multiple scalar RAM loads with 1 vector load is usually a good idea performance wise. This is true even if you’ll then use extract instructions to access the lanes. Extract latency is 2-3 cycles, much faster than RAM.

I think what might have happened, GP tried to use SSE for dealing with individual lanes. Better approach for that use case is moving the comparison results to scalar register with a single movmskps, pmovmskb, or ptest instruction, just once for the complete vector.
I don't know the rules today, but at least in some parts of the US where explosives are used liberally no permits were required at all. You definitely didn't need to inform the government. This likely varies with locale. A considerable amount of explosive in the US is purchased by private individuals for all manner of purpose and use isn't on a formal schedule.

Before 9/11, this was literally a cash and carry business in many States. You could back up a truck and fill it with explosives as long as you had a placard for your truck and a non-sparking liner. It simply isn't practical to track usage in many cases, even today.
It's not that uncommon for employees to volunteer their time doing charity work via their employers. It looks to me like employers are damned if they do, and damned if they don't.
>> - in-orbit refueling. Starship is big and heavy and basically can't get anywhere unless it's re-fueled in orbit.

This is one of those "let's see" things that SpaceX has talked about but never actually explained. Their current rocket tech offers no hint as to how this is might happen. They aren't running internal bladders in their tanks. So the physical act of moving fuel from one tank to another is an open question.

The options are really limited. Either you use an internal bladder, something never done with cryogenic fuels, or some sort of maneuver to shift all the fuel over towards the pump. Maybe they plan on docking the two ships and then spinning the entire rig to create sufficient G to stabilize the fuel on one side of the tank? The entire operation seems more kerbal than reality atm.
The safest way is to take an occasional test for your vitamin d levels. There are tests that you can take at home that aren't too expensive!
There are two main metrics of rockets and rocket engines. Specific Impulse (ISP), and the Thrust to Weight Ratio (TWR).

ISP is essentially a measure of the fuel efficiency. And since there are no gas stations in space, the further you can go per kg of fuel, the further you can go, period.[1]

TWR is the measure of useful power.

TWR is the key measure for the first stage because a ton of power is required to escape Earth's gravity and atmosphere. For subsequent stages ISP is the main metric.

The Space Shuttle Main engines have an excellent ISP but because hydrogen needs massive tanks, it has a crappy TWR. Which is why the shuttle had a couple of strap on solids with a high TWR.

But instead of specialized engines, SpaceX designs engines that are good at everything. The ISP isn't as high as an advanced hydrogen engine and the TWR isn't as good as a solid, but both numbers are quite respectable and they bring other advantages such as the ability to relight and to be reused without refurbishment, they don't need use ablative cooling.

1: Although SpaceX is relying on in flight refueling for it's Moon and Mars plans. Nobody's done it before, but that doesn't stop SpaceX.

> any upcoming engine that can compete with it.

There's the criminally underfunded SABRE engine, an a air-hydrogen mix breathing-rocket hybrid design from Reaction Engines that rated to reach speeds of Mach 25 (roughly 35,000 miles per hour).

As modelled, it's more efficient than any other current or proposed chemical propulsion technology, and the proposed single-stage runway launchable system would be capable of delivering around 11 tons of cargo to the ISS. The costs to go to orbit and beyond using this engine could be less than half that of current best in class technology; even less after development cost amortization. Not sure why SpaceX haven't invested in it yet. Perhaps it doesn't fit in with their current vertical integration philosophy, but it seems like a game changing technology.
1. I do think there are enough hints and reports to justify further investigations. If they are unfounded, fantastic, that is the best outcome.

2. No, of course not. But someone will make the same mistake at some point, because it is human. We need to stay vigilant. This kind of thing can happen again and again all over the world.

> In this thread, I have seen people angry and threatening to retaliate against China, which is very dangerous to the whole world.

I agree that this is very dangerous. Then again, I don't believe anything drastic will happen as long as China does not outright start a war, which hopefully I'm right about not happening (which is what did not occur in Germany - if not for that the Nazis might still be in power).

Thank you for the warning, I'll keep it in mind. Hate is far from our general sentiment about it for me and the people around me though. You don't need to be an evil hated person or group to allow this to happen, as I said, it's human. And again, China even recently did some great things, such as lifting large parts of its population out of dire poverty, which is an amazing feat.

I wonder though, how are you so sure it's fine?
Not necessarily, since it's in production they might be hoping for a bit of securty-by-obscurity if they haven't had time to get an audit the code (runtimes are always hard to get 100% correct since they're so generic, esp for a language such as Lua).

Seems like this runtime was announced to Roblox developers almost a year ago. But i don't think they've put much thought or effort into open sourcing it and it just happend to pop up in peoples feeds now since Arseny published an article(#1) about his 8 years working for Roblox 2 days ago and somebody probably took the link from that article (Quite an interesting read if you're into gamedev).

Note: This article is not talking about deterministic builds (which are a prerequisite for reproducible builds), but specifically reproducible builds.

Reproducible builds are generally speaking interesting only from a security perspective, while deterministic builds have all sorts of useful infrastructural features which the author agrees are useful.

And if you think I'm being pedantic, I'm using the official terminology from the reproducible builds site[0].

The whole point of the article is that in order to check if the play store version is the same, you have to download the github version and build it from source. At that point, you might as well throw away the play store binary and use the one you just built.
Is Hacker News Bullshit?
The Firefox extension is bit hit and miss, the exporting function has been broken for years (no points for guessing why that might be). I am not that happy with it and I do not recommend it. I used to pay for the access to their Android app but that became a free feature ages ago; shortly after the company changed hands, I think. The premium subscription basically gives you some online storage and better support but I don't think those features are worth the subscription cost and so I downgraded to the free tier.
>since unions generally double workers' wages.

>My feeling is that had we been unionized, we would have made at least $17/hr

You can dismiss this as anecdotal if you wish, but I went from a non-union job to a union one, requiring much the same skills, and the latter pays less.

On a per hour basis, my current job pays 95% of the non-union position, but the main difference is 7.5 hours vs. 8 hours a day. That means my yearly salary is more like 87%.

On the plus side, you are guaranteed raises over time, which my former employer explicitly disclaimed, saying all pay raises were based on "merit". It's also nice that you know everybody at the same level is making the same amount.

I'm not going to generalize about all union jobs from my experience, but from a theoretical perspective, if a union offers security and better benefits then it's plausible people would be willing to give up a certain amount of pay.

One aspect of having a union that I hadn't considered was that in March, they had to have a lot of intensive negotiations about working from home, because the existing contract did not allow it.
Failing the Coronavirus-Testing Test
I think the level of confidence is completely different.
It is. And I think this is because customers aren't valued they're commoditized, now personal information is a commodity with a fair bit of value and society has failed to properly punish the misuse of that value so it's sort of an ever lasting font of money.

I wholeheartedly believe that when we solve the issue of undervaluing personal information... that's when Ads become nearly worthless (like they are in print media) and software salaries deflate to the point where those useful by humans tools become the primary product again - instead of tools to use harvesting from humans.

But, I'm quite an optimist - and a cynical one at that.

And here is the quote in context, not that this isn't about Covid-19:

"High dose vitamin D administration in ventilated intensive care unit patients:
A pilot double blind randomized controlled trial
In the study, patients with vitamin D deficiency (<20ng/ml) were divided into three
groups: A placebo group, and two groups that were given different doses of vitamin D.
The single administration of 250,000 IU of vitamin D was compared with the single
administration of 500,000 IU of vitamin D by injection. In addition, the vitamin D levels
were increased to 45 and 55 ng/ml, respectively. While the length of stay of the placebo
group at the ICU was 36 days, the 250,000 IU group averaged 25 days and the 500,000
IU group averaged 18 days. This is a smooth halving and means that vitamin D is useful
not only in prevention but also in acute cases."

As someone who left the field of Civil Engineering out of frustration with the state of the industry, I largely agree, but for a different reason.

I have noticed that there is something like "regulatory capture" in the construction industry now, but not by the same methods as most other industries. With giant, multi-national corps handling most large construction projects now, the QA/QC engineers are either incorporated directly into the company and thus never stop terrible practices, or they are there as a sub-contractor to the prime contractor and thus will be replaced for 'other reasons' if they give push back. It's now a push to the bottom for quality and the industry is going to hell quickly as the Engineers who value quality and ethics are slowly pushed out or forced to submit. If a small engineering company tries to stand up to one of these behemoth construction corps, the smaller company will either be blackballed behind the scenes (if they're lucky enough to be temporarily successful in their challenge) or the behemoth will lean on the nearest municipal gov't and say something along the lines of "We would love to finish this critical project, but we're being held up by this silly requirement and this silly engineer. (implied: Since we're on a Cost Plus contract) It's costing you X,XXX,XXX per day while we're held up. You should probably give us a way to get past this issue."

It would be funny if it weren't so sad. Civil Engineers are getting crapped on by both sides for increasing costs. They are blamed for holding things up with quality checks and at the same time for not doing enough to stop the terrible practices that result in long-term failures which end up increasing costs further. Payouts are going down for QA/QC companies and the pressure is constantly increasing to let things slide. The differences between a well-regulated project and an 'unregulated' (for all intents and purposes) project are shocking - you can feel (and see) an attitude of IDGAF from everyone on projects where it is known that the regulations don't REALLY apply.
I'd argue that this is something that Zoom should have made easily discoverable and probably the default from the beginning. It's bad UI design.
