Plenty of Republicans "believe in science." You're probably confusing science with policy.

You may be surprised that:

- Republicans are only like "20% more religious" than Democrats

- Over half of Republicans believe the scientific method produces accurate conclusions

- Nearly a third of Democrats don't believe the scientific method produces accurate conclusions

Hey HN!
My side-project KeyCombiner just got a major new feature addition:

Search functionality over its complete database of keyboard shortcuts. You can search (without login) by description, Win/Linux bindings, MacOS bindings, or a combination of these.

I can think of a couple of scenarios where this could be useful:

1. To see if there is a consensus for a particular operation, e.g., search for "Step out" and see that IDEs use F6 (Eclipse), F8 (Jetbrains), and F10(VSCode) for this. This could be helpful when thinking about key bindings for your application.
2. If you want to, as a user, assign your own key bindings and like to maximize compatibility in many different applications. Search if, eg ctrl+shift+a is already reserved for other things by the apps you use.
3. Last but not least, the main idea of KeyCombiner is to create your own shortcut collections and then learn and practice them, create cheat sheets, share with others, etc. The shortcut search helps to find combinations to put into your own collections. If you are logged in, the search results that are already in your collections will be marked. (I wish Spotify could do this with songs any my playlists!)

Largely thanks to the DataTables open source project, you can do many things with the result table in regards to filtering, row grouping, showing/hiding columns, and so on.

While the feature is not overly exciting from a technical standpoint, I like to think that it is interesting and useful because I haven't seen anything similar. I would love to hear what you think can be done with it.
A huge fraction of sites today are already bundled, just poorly. WebBundles solves the problem that devs are already working around with tools.

HTML, JavaScript, CSS and images are not natively bundleable. So tools like Webpack and Rollup dramatically transform the files to be able to bundle them. JavaScript is recompiled into a single file so that it's impossible to cache the individual files, and many features like dynamic import, asset fetches, and import.meta.url are partially broken.

CSS is concatenated, against breaking caching and preventing the use of individual files in separate CSS scopes.

WebBundles actually bundles the real files that would have been sent unbundled, and it works with any file/response type. WebBundles have much better compressibility than the unbundled files. So it's is both a better HTTP/2 push, and a better version of what sites are doing with tools.

And since WebBundles work with the existing request/response pipeline, the files are individually fed into the network cache (and blockers, btw), which makes it possible to build delta bundles that only include updated files. This gives you the best of both worlds of bundled and unbundled serving.

You may need to get to know more Republicans. Yes, they host a fair bit of anti-climate science sentiment. Democrats host a fair bit of homeopathic sentiment. Both persuasions include competent scientists. Republicans are no more unidimensional than Democrats. In my observation, the conversations between them are far more tribal fueding than epistemological clarification: epistemology is just a prop. It seems to me that when we allow ourselves to be distracted by the category conflicts, we are distracted from the fight between those trying to maximize our well-being and those happy to throw us all under the bus to optimize for their individual circumstance.
It was always elitist leftist “environmentalists” who were anti-nuke.

They were the ones who bought into Malthusian systems that believed that the world would be over populated if nuclear energy ever reached widespread deployment. They pushed this narrative to gullible hippy “environmentalists”, who swayed public opinion and, whoops, accidentally caused us to burn another 50 years worth of coal. Yeah, “fight the man” sure felt good at the time. YEAH!

50 years of improvements to nuclear power has been lost to this nonsense. Everyone today should be absolutely livid over what happened.
I'm so glad I could bring this story to you. Her story also inspires me a lot in seeing how great life can be despite, or even because of great strife and rejection by people you love.
A lot of the interview process is luck - the questions they ask, the person interviewing, and their mood/interest.
The issue I've seen with this is that to get true security you need 1 db user per tenant. That makes connection pooling difficult and presents its own security issues on limiting the tenant to only their DB user.
There's other stuff protecting you when it comes to Signal: FOSS code, professional audits, reproducible builds etc.

If you can't trust networked TCB there's not much you can do anyway. Adding one or more networked TCBs that also need to be compromised isn't going to turn into anything magical.

It's about the architecture, and if you need architecture of "no sensitive key/pt material on networked device(s)", you're out of options quite fast. It's either airgaps (shown to be weak as I linked the IEEE etc. articles above), or split TCBs (AFAIK my research on that is the only public work available).
Building it makes it affordable. Giant one-off projects have endemic problems with perverse bidding incentives, cost overruns, and engineering problems. Economy of scale production absolutely dominates most industrial supply chains and engineering.

The US and other modern economies got the political will together to subsidize solar when it rarely made sense on a MW/$ basis and now it's dropped to by far the cheapest source (if you can live with intermittent power).
Are you claiming that everyone should stop using Webpack and Rollup too?
Airbnb should just be upfront and tell customers they need to assume they are being filmed at all times. There are cameras now the size of a grain of rice, this issue will never go away, the cat is out of the bag.
> (Unless the sender and receiver have a shared memory area, you could say, but that's not so different either: two simulated programs only have a shared memory area to the extent that the simulating system is pleased to keep the supposedly-shared area actually consistent in the two programs it is simulating.)

Maybe it's not intended to be shared, but we can observe timing effects from e.g. cache aliasing, or rowhammer the other universes.

This is just a confused article which sets up a dichotomy between reason and brain science.

First off every human question could be, at least theoretically, reduced to "brain science", because all we got is brains, this is just true by definition unless you invoke some sort of magic.

However this isn't actually a good argument for ditching higher level concepts. Reason doesn't stand in conflict to brain science, Talking about moral issues in terms of reason or even divine judgement or whatever is engaging in a higher level of abstraction, which can be vital to aid in creating meaning.

When you try to understand the meaning of a work of fiction you don't go around and count individual letters in the book and try to decipher the shape of the letter 'A', you look at emerging properties of the story and how things hang together in the broadest, not the narrowest, sense of the term. Likewise when discussing morality, it probably isn't very fruitful to try looking at chemicals in synapses for the same reason it's not very fruitful to try to argue about software programs by counting electrons in semiconductors.
Their job is to argue why satellites are bad for astronomy. It is other people's job to argue for why internet access via satellites is good for certain parts of society. It is the government's job to weigh the various arguments and come up with a ruling that best helps society.
I worked remotely from Europe for about two months last year, and spent a few weeks in Spain. I just got a travel visa. It didn't even occur to me that it would be an issue. I think they're more worried about you overstaying your visa than working on your laptop. Just make sure you have a return ticket, or a train ticket out of every country you visit. I got grilled by the immigration guy in Ireland because I bought a flight to Dublin last minute and didn't have a flight back out. I'm not suggesting anyone knowingly break the law, just sharing my experience. Nobody gives a shit what you're doing on your laptop at Starbucks.
This was a great video.

It did leave one gap though - it assumes my handwriting is legible! Many companies (at least pre-COVID) still expect people to hand write code on a whiteboard, under immense time pressure Most people aren't used to writing on a whiteboard, and many interview rooms inexplicably have a combination of large markers and a small whiteboard, which often leads to my output being of marginal readability. Narrating what I'm writing can help move past that.
Well the idea is that you get hands free control of the device.

I'm laying in bed and I suddenly realize I need an alarm for tomorrow morning. I don't want to turn my phone on cause that can mess with my sleep.

I just tell siri or Google to set an alarm and sleep.

Or I'm in the middle of cooking and I want to listen to music but don't want to have to wash my hands first.

That's really where the benefit of the assistants lays.
What would "first-class context handling" be though, dynamic scoping?
Yeah. So much pain, all before even becoming an adult.
No mention of sharding by usage pattern, which is the usual pattern at scale, eg partition potentially app and database differently for users with different fanout or scale or other properties that affect scaling.
My restaurant has been trying to implement a contactless ordering & checkout system since the initial shutdown in CA back in March. Our CEO refuses to open, even for takeout, until our dining experience is seamless. The trouble is is that nowhere has a completely seamless order-and-pay-from-your-phone system because it doesn't exist.

We've been working with one company that has integrated their web-app with our existing POS, but there's a lot of bugs with some wonky workarounds that we aren't comfortable with. They've been developing new features for us for months at no cost due to their pandemic program, however it's just not up to our CEO's expectations.

Now we're looking into switching to a completely new, modern POS that supposedly has a working order/pay from your device feature. Trouble is, the entire check has to be ordered (drinks, appetizers, entrees, desserts) all at once and paid for before it even gets sent to the kitchen. This is what the other company we've been working with has been trying to set up for us - guest sits down, scans the QR on their phone, orders at their own pace and checks out whenever they're ready - this is how our restaurant has been set up from day 1. We previously had iPads with a custom iOS app that the guests could order from. Our CEO believes this won't be an acceptable system moving forward as shared iPads aren't seen as sanitary as personal phones.

What you’re describing is literally rule by strongman on the local level. A number of pre nation state cultures functioned this way.

Libertarians by contrast believe in rule of law and enforcement of contracts. They usually also espouse non-agression.

Anarchists usually have lots of consensus meetings.
They may or may not have perfect knowledge, but if they don't have free will or any ability to randomly choose participants, then there is no reason to trust that the patients they choose are not correlated to the medicine they are testing, such that all of the patients they chose will have the maximum response possible to the medicine, with the least amount of side effects.
There is a difference between safety history and risk.

People have been saying "AMP prevents adblockers" since the introduction of AMP, and it has never been true. Advertisers don't want to bundle their ads with the content, they can't make any money that way. they want their ads to be dynamically requested each time they are drawn so they can sell ads based on real-time conditions. A standards-based implementation of AMP won't change this.

Brave's assertion that "bundles are like PDF" is actually a pretty good analogy - you don't see a whole lot of ad networks popping up trying to sell ad space in PDFs, do you?
> Ps. We just learned this year, from released documents, that Greece was planing at some point to send a invading force to the South, so it could 'pacify' the place (and potentially anex it). It would not have ended up well. Albania at that time had so many weapons left from the Communnist era, and it wouldn't had gone well for them.

Heh, the old lieutenant I had in the GR army was always complaining about Greece losing an opportunity to annex Albania at the time. I've always thought he was full of crap because old military ppl dream about war day and night, no one really pays attention to them. Of course they always come out on top, in their stories/fantasies! Apparently he wasn't full of crap, that was put under serious consideration.

Broadly speaking, Greece had expansionary policies until the Greco-Turkish was in 1919-1922, an extension of the first world war. After a victory who ended up in a disaster without the Greek army even putting up a fight, the focus has been to keep the borders as they were[1].

Hopefully, this part of the world won't see more warfare... It's always the layperson who get screwed.

I haven't tried keto again. I'm married now, and any dieting has to be coordinated for two people (to save on cooking efforts). My wife doesn't like the kind of foods that form the core of the diet. So instead, I'm just looking at calorie-intake-minimizing diets.

Agreed on big simple-carbs meals; that's a sure-fire way for me to shut down my brain for a couple of hours.
"That's why I wrote "commitment scheme" of which there are many and which secure one you use doesn't really matter."

"Doesn't believe in science" is pretty reductionist here.

Most Democrats and Republicans, like everyone else, is operating with heuristics about which risks are especially salient and concerning. Those heuristics are influenced by social biases.

Democrats are more likely to be enthusiastic about the practice of science than Republicans, but that doesn't mean that Democrats always carefully and dispassionately weigh risks as estimated by scientists, or that Republicans always learn about scientists' suggestions and then do the exact opposite.

One thing that you're seeing here is that Republicans have a social bias toward seeing industry and products of industry as not that risky, while Democrats have a reverse bias. In some cases (like nuclear energy and genetic engineering) the Republicans' bias may help them, while in others (like fossil fuels) the Democrats' bias may help them.
Bandcamp is able to keep their fees at 10% - 15% of the purchase price.
I think “beds” is more a shorthand for overall capacity.

And some places have definitely run out of capacity. Northern Italy was very aggressively triaging patients that came in — too old? got diabetes or some other comorbidity? Never even going to see a doctor. They weren't turned away, but they were not really admitted to a hospital. They were just given somewhere to lay down and die.

The result was 50% of people admitted with COVID-19 were dying instead of the 10-15% other regions were seeing.

They stopped admitting accidents, strokes, and other life threatening conditions because they were no longer able to treat them. Those people were turned away. One ER literally just had a closed sign out front.

And that was after they’d already enlisted basically anyone with some medical training, handed them a pamphlet on airway management, and sent them to try and keep whoever they could alive, converted operating theaters into patient rooms, and done everything they could to try and increase capacity.

We’re not going to run out of things to physically lay people on. We’re going to run out of doctors, nurses, all the other infrastructure and equipment that makes a hospital room more than just a hotel room.

EDIT:

From Italy, in March:

> We’ve stopped all routine, all ORs have been converted to ITUs and they are now diverting or not treating all other emergencies like trauma or strokes. There are hundreds of pts with severe resp failure and many of them do not have access to anything above a reservoir mask.

> Patients above 65 or younger with comorbidities are not even assessed by ITU, I am not saying not tubed, I’m saying not assessed and no ITU staff attends when they arrest. Staff are working as much as they can but they are starting to get sick and are emotionally overwhelmed.

> My friends call me in tears because they see people dying in front of them and they con only offer some oxygen. Ortho and pathologists are being given a leaflet and sent to see patients on NIV.

Please don't presume. I do care about my users. Their safety is not an abstraction.

You personally made sure it wouldn't be an externality either. I can count on you to make me pay for any mistake I make (only one of any consequence so far, and it was over 2 years ago: https://monocypher.org/quality-assurance/disclosures).

I know exactly how tough it is to own up to my mistakes.
“There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things“

Is the idea that cache invalidation difficult in the same sense that naming things is difficult where it’s hard to decide what to name should be and similarly hard to decide how to invalidate the cache?

As best I can tell, similar to a good name there doesn’t seem to be an objective way to decide if a cache should be invalidated. Does anyone know any good posts which discuss this topic or could shed more light?
Depends on what I need to do. Learning enough to read some code takes less time than learning enough to fix bugs. Getting to sufficient competency to write code from scratch takes longer, and leading a team and making architecture decisions will take longer still.

I can usually read any C-family language without any study, because they are much more alike than different. I will need some reference material to fix bugs and make small changes. I may need a tutorial or a non-trivial code base to study to get to competency. Before I would lead a team or make expensive decisions I would want a couple of years experience with the language and ecosystem.
They require to have one.

I do not necessarily personally recommend it but I know Safetywing is a popular choice for nomads and officially covers Covid. Otherwise you can look at either your countries of citizenship or residency that have international health insurance. IMO it makes sense to get an insurance from the country you would like to get repatriate to if you get in a very bad condition.

It's not possible to avoid "discrimination" against people with anxiety disorders, it's the nature of their disorder.

It's a bit like saying the NBA shouldn't discriminate against short people. At the end of the day, the best performers tend to not be short, that's just reality.

In the same way that anxious people tend to struggle in an interview. Obviously you shouldn't be going out of your way to discriminate, but the reality is what it is.

Flowspec strikes again.

Its a super useful tool if you want to blast out an ACL across your network in seconds (using BGP) but it has a number of sharp edges. Several networks, including Cloudflare have learned what it can do. I've seen a few networks basically blackhole traffic or even lock themselves out of routers due to a poorly made Flowspec rules or a bug in the implementation.
> The underlying reasons for this are financial: Restaurants can’t bother with low-margin dishes. They have fewer employees on the payroll, so they want to be more efficient with a smaller set of meals. They’re prioritizing fewer — and cheaper — ingredients.

I’m sure they are thinking about margins, but more generally, I think the issue is probably one of volume. If you have 25% as many people, maybe you remove unpopular items from the menu so that you aren’t ordering ingredients for them. For example, I have no idea whether oysters are high margin or not, but I suspect that people aren’t ordering them much for take out, so it doesn’t make sense to have them on the menu.
