The genome of the virus is available to every lab in the world and has been closely studied by the world's top virologists for about 9 months now.

If the virus was artificial and so easy to spot as such (she claims one does not even need to know anything about biology...) I would expect all the main labs in the West would have reported that instead of leaving it to some junior HK doctor in exile who is doing the tour of the tabloids (which should also tell us something). It feels she is just part of a FUD campaign, which should not be be given undue airtime.
Hey, I independently rediscovered the bubble sort algorithm at 10 years old. That should count for something, right? :P

In all seriousness, I wrote my first programs at 7, and, while I don't expect you or anyone else to be impressed about that in the sense of it being a resume accomplishment, having that early intro to programming certainly did help me when I went to college and learned "big boy" programming. Ceteris paribus, I'd probably prefer to hire the candidate who started programming at 10 versus the one who never twiddled a bit until college.
I'm a long time user of Prelude myself and it is absolutely terrific. I like my Emacs to be well Emacs and prelude as opposed to many other configs fits that description perfectly. A huge thanks to bbatsov for saving countless hours of configuring.

Nice work, OP. I clicked with a chip on my shoulder the size of my Emacs init file, but was pleasantly surprised to find something that reminds me more of Hypercard. Best of luck.
Apple's Next HomePod Should Monitor Indoor Air Quality
There is a video [0] on the "more info" page [1] that presents one working implementation in Amsterdam (video is in Dutch but with good subtitles)

Here in the Netherlands it is currently 32 degrees C.

This is the latest date we have had 30+ temperatures since measurements began in 1901.

You have a point there; a public platform is certainly different than an intra-family affair.

You’re right about the breadth of viewership being a potential problem. Many folks believe anything they read.

This is where I really hope that individual critical thinking will save us. Media outlets shouldn’t be sources where the consumer feels ok with believing everything they hear. I think if that were not the case deplatforming wouldn’t be as appealing of an option as it currently is for handling these situations.

Alas, I’m not confident that critical thinking is alive (much less well) when so many people apparently think along party lines.

Probably deplatforming Cliff was the right thing to do in the big picture.
I lived in Saudi Arabia for two years and did Ramadan, out of not wanting to offend my Saudi colleagues who were fasting.

As a practictioner of fasting, I don't think that "modern" Ramadan has much to do with fasting anymore - at least, in the way I see fasting working for me.
Reason being that at the end of each day of fasting, there is a very large amount of food being consumed, and I mean a lot.
Fasting is about calorie restriction for sustained amount of time - modern Ramadan (based on the experience I had in Saudi, which is a very conservative country) is not really about restricting calories, but just shifting the time of the day in which A LOT of calories are ingested.
Intel only failed with Itanium, because AMD exists and had access to Intel's IP.

Without AMD64 Itanium would have prevailed.
I have Byte and browse it every now and then. Maybe it failed if the only metric of success is hockey stick growth, but when I open it I see an active community.

If it does well enough to be self-sustainable then I consider that a success. Not everything has to be Silicon Valley level stratospheric.

I could see this working in a shallow stream meandering through the countryside. I don't see this being effective in a deep/fast river. What do those bubble nets look like in a river 50+ feet deep and moving a several mph? Remember that the bubbles get bigger as they rise. I don't think many fish will be happy to swim through a maelstrom of compressed air rushing from giant pipes on the bottom.

We would love to hear your comments if you feel like. To have a more textual version:

TL;DR: CrowdSec parses logs from various Data sources, normalizes and enriches them before applying heuristic scenarii to identify aggressive behaviors and protect you from most attack classes. Like with fail2ban, things like credential stuffing, web or port scans, ssh / ftp / telnet brute-force, and many others are really easy to defeat with the software, but CrowdSec modern grammar & architecture give the users more possibilities. The global thing is to generate a IP reputation Database, shared among our community members, that is fed by them, curated by us and sent back to all members. This could become the largest ever hack-interferometer.

understandably! it will no longer be thinking: human animal, could be dangerous..

our predatory speciality is more about leverage than brute force, or scavenging rather than hunting. so i think the logic still applies that cognition can be improved in a way that is beneficial to modern humans. resourcefulness implying that resources are found / conjured when they appeared to be lacking?
> raising minimum wage

This is an interesting point. If, as the article notes, one of the conservatives'/right-wingers' goals is returning to a "nuclear family" in an economy where "a single income can support a family again", then one step in that direction would be to move away from traditional conservative/right-wing policies on wage inequality.
Well, there are lots of types of fasting. Juice or water or nothing. Skipping a meal, or not eating solid foods for 3 months. IMO not eating during the day but then eating a lot at night might not be the best type of fast.

But even so, it would be interesting to see numbers anyway.
FWIW, there are browser addons to disable animations and transitions in CSS.

Great, thank you. We use SES to send some mails but didn't have any bounces yet, but that is only a matter of time. It is a b2b app where users have to enter the recipient manually. Not sure how hard Amazon penalises bounces, but the low amount of mails we send can destroy the statistic if we have just one or a few more bounces.

It’s not that I want them to be pro-Trump, I’d just like to be accurately informed about him, given he’s one of the most powerful people on Earth and what he does moves markets. I don’t read the WSJ, but some people say the reverse bias is evident there.

It really wasn't until I got myself a Pi 4 that I really appreciated what an improvement it was over the earlier generations. I have the Pi 4 and a 3B+ running BOINC, crunching away on World Community Grid[1], and the 4 is at least twice as fast at completing work units (it's too early for RAC numbers to settle down, yet). The Cortex-A72 is a huge step up from the A53. [ETA: both are actively cooled.]

Also, the Pi 4 eliminates the USB2 bottleneck the old Pis have, and has a couple of USB3 ports.

[1] Be sure to boot with arm_64bit=1 in config.txt or you will get no work units.

One thing that points to a big difference is art. There's some claimed Neanderthal cave art, but we're talking about things like pigment circles and lines -- nothing on the level of the modern human paintings at Chauvet or Lascaux.

There's enough evidence to convince me that Neanderthals decorated things and probably could think symbolically, but I to me, based on the evidence we have at least, it's pretty clear that modern humans went about this stuff differently.

I don't know if I think this really means "less intelligent," but I think this does point to some fundamental differences in how they thought. And who knows, maybe we'll find some beautiful Neanderthal cave art that disproves this. Our ideas about Neanderthals have changed a lot over the last few years after all.

The Ocean Cleanup hails from Delft. It was founded there, and the concept was 'invented' whilst the inventors were busy with an Aerospace Engineering course at the Delft University.

Different province and about an hour's travel south from Amsterdam

I guess the frisian province is 'Amsterdam Lake District', rotterdam is 'Amsterdam Harbour', The Hague is 'Amsterdam Government Plaza', and Delft is just 'Amsterdam - Burials of Royals + that place with the solar boats and cars and the plastic barges dept' :P

NB: I think that "Amsterdam Lake District" thing really is how its marketed from time to time to attempt to distribute tourism more throughout the country. The rest a bit more tongue in cheek.

"bullshit", "quackery", ""healers" and witches"

Is all that really necessary?

When it comes to human health, the unknowns are legion. Medical science is in its infancy, but too many act as though it's a mature discipline built upon rock-solid theories with few problems.

20 years ago, I noticed that my mental fog cleared up and I felt healthier when I ate very low carb, I looked to pioneers like Atkins and others who predicted my results much better than those pushing the "food pyramid". Those pioneers were called "quacks". I was told over and over by supposed experts: "Calories in equals calories out.", "A calorie is just a calorie.", "You're going to ruin your kidneys on a high protein, high fat diet.", and on and on.

The problem isn't science. Science is the best method we have to discover the nature reality. The problem is with science used as a religion or political weapon without humility or appreciation of its flaws and limitations.
I have an app that is popular in mainland China and I recently changed the price from $4 to free and I guess I got picked up by one of those aggregators since I had a pretty large download spike, 2k installs in one day all from China & Vietnam.
I don't entirely disagree with your perspective, but evaluating what counts as "a complete and stable set of core features" gets very tricky. For example, you said

> Let's look at your example: VIM. According to criterion A.) it is finished - because it has a complete and stable set of core features, which haven't changed much in many versions (and many years).

From my point of view, that's not an accurate description of Vim. Vim 8 (released in late 2016) added several new features. Most notably:

> Vim can now exchange messages with other processes in the background. This
makes it possible to have servers do work and send back the results to Vim.
See |channel-demo| for an example, this shows communicating with a Python
server.

(Source: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vim/vim/master/runtime/doc... )

I personally view this as a major new core feature – one that enabled a whole new class of plugins, including many Language Server Protocol plugins. For the ways I use Vim, that's a core feature. Maybe it's not a core feature for you, but that's exactly my point: what is and isn't a core feature depends entirely on an individual's usecase.

> Let's look a different example - I suggest looking at a piece of imaginary vaporware. Maybe a few design documents exist - but not a single line of code has ever been written.… According to criterion B) this software does count as finished - because no new features are being added.

I agree that criterion B) would characterize this as "finished", but I disagree that it would count as "finished _software_". Maybe it's a finished design document, but if no software was produced, then it's not finished software.

Incidentally, it's obviously possible for software to be both 100% finished and not very useful. For example, the K&R C "Hello, world" program is finished – it doesn't need any updates and perfectly fulfills its specification. But that doesn't mean I'm planning to use it daily!

Rewriting the Technical Interview
How about the government doesn't steal people's stuff!? Unless the item contained improperly secured radioactive material or something like that, I see zero reason why the state should have the right to seize someone's property for attempting to ship it into the country from another locale. If society is concerned about vendors here in the USA selling dodgy stuff, there are far superior solutions like regulating retailers and hold them accountable that do not require invasive boarder searches. Customs inspection are 99% a complete scam designed to enable the government to steal money and property from people.

Gist of the piece:

> The researchers suggest their finding is notable because tortoises are notoriously antisocial creatures. They receive no care from their parents and avoid other tortoises when they see them. They also do not interact with animals of other species. Thus, their inclination to orient themselves toward a face suggests it originates in their genes. Prior research has shown that modern tortoises first appeared around 30 million years ago, which suggests that facial attraction may go back even further in history — perhaps to a shared common ancestor of humans and reptiles.
I don't view the mutability of moment as a complete show stopper, though. If you limit the surface area of the mutability by hiding the underlying moment object within an abstraction, then you can at the very least keep the chances of misusing moment to a minimum.
Some thoughts: You'll probably want some decent light under the hanging cabinets (plus some shading so you're not looking into them while sitting on your PC). Now is a good time to plan for the necessary cabling/switches/...

The overall intent of the structure seems to be "make it sturdy", and yes, overkill :P If you're like me and your monitor(s) are wobbling while typing (=programming = working), a simper solution is to get monitor arms and attach them NOT to the table. So either screw them directly to the wall, or (what I'm doing) to a piece of wood clamped to the window ledge, or something like that. (That's more a hint for the general HN crowd).

Have fun with the woodworking :)

> almost all users won't care, and the rest few won't disclose anything out of suspicion of abusing that data

Yes, I wouldn't disclose.

But because the users don't want to give their data to you, that doesn't mean that it is ethically OK to take it without them realising.

That's the rub with privacy. There needs to be some acceptance and tolerance of an individual's decisions.

Instead though, we have engineered disclosure. In a pure sense its an act of aggression against another.
Myself as well. You just hit low blood sugar. Technically not fasting, but I have an appetite so weak I can skip meals easily and will do so if I don’t pay attention. Eventually I just feel very lethargic and enter what I can only conceive of as “starvation” or “energy conservation” mode. It’s not pleasant. I also have trouble with muscular mass being the first thing to go.
> I wish the[re] was a way to fix this attitude.

This isn't a universal attitude. Numerous language ecosystems exist where it's completely normal to use dependencies that haven't been updated in a while _because_ they warrant no change.

This is a problem with the general attitude of the community of JavaScript developers.

And they're too stuck in their JS ecosystem bubble to realize this isn't necessarily "normal" or "the way things should/have to be."

Slight nit-pick: Neutrinos are the ones that are zipping through you and the Earth. They interact with things very rarely and have no real charge anyway. The rays you'd worry about with computer hardware are photons (gamma rays) with high energy enough to create new charged particles. Also other charged particles like muons and their decay cascades.
Prelude is an Emacs distribution that aims to enhance the default Emacs experience. Prelude alters a lot of the default settings, bundles a plethora of additional packages and adds its own core library to the mix. The final product offers an easy to use Emacs configuration for Emacs newcomers and lots of additional power for Emacs power users.
