[S]pace is simply not a good place to go. It has no history, culture, museums, or restaurants. The celestial nihility is immensely boring and perpetually unpleasant. The scale is all wrong for us. Your accommodations, at least in our lifetimes, would be something like a glorified camper trailer, and your food would at best rise to the level of a TV dinner. [...] Visiting space would be the most miserable road trip ever devised, except when the vehicle breaks down, you die.

Ask HN: Is flagging a story the same as down voting it?
several times over the past week i've been wanting to down vote some of the stories that have made the front page for various reason. i read in the faq that you should only flag a story if it goes against HN guidelines. the faq states that while there are down vote arrows on comment (after the user reaching a certain threshold) there are never any on stories themselves.

so after all of that, my question is: how do you exactly down vote a story on HN without feeling icky cause you flagged it?
So much better than man pages. I get that you need a huge manual to cover everything. But 99.99999999% of the time someone needs to just decompress a tar.gz or create a tar.gz file, they really don't need the man page.

Edit: although, correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like this doesn't come pre-loaded with anything :(

Edit 2: Oh man, thank you guys!

Urgh him. I watch a lot of music videos (as in videos about making music + music theory). I can not get this guy off my recommends. He has the personality of a sofa cushion. I cannot understand why he's popular.

Other than that, I'm pretty happy with my recommends. I think the Google spooks have built a good file on me.

I'm honestly surprised baseball is still around. The first game came out in like 1839, and it was initially addictive because it was easy to play. But each season is basically a carbon copy of the previous season with player changes.

Right, but it's optimization focused one, so that was my question.
Just look at history.
Quite an interesting puzzle game, but it's not all that similar to chess given the extra dimension. This means that a knight might move two spaces forward and one back in time: a lot of patterns you may be used to seeing & responding to in normal chess will need to be rethought or thrown out.

With that in mind it is a lot of fun to figure out new strategies and patterns!

"often meant people at the lowest levels of opportunity would make more by staying home than if they got a job"

Considering how low the Coronavirus add-on payments are, doesn't your point really mean that those at the bottom of the scale, where minimum rates have barely budged in the US - are vastly underpaid on a normal basis?

People have been saying things like this for nearly as long as HN has existed. Lots of examples at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17014869.

HN's approach hasn't changed. If you want to read about what that approach is, https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so... has lots of explanations.

The particular themes that show up have changed, of course, but that's because of macro trends in society at large. HN can't expect to be immune from those.
This is a great reason to avoid closed ecosystems. A raspi box, or just connecting your laptop over HDMI or Wifi will avoid this issue and you will always have your content available.

Hypotheses as a Debugging Aid
Throughout the pandemic the (neo-)Liberal (right-wing by Swedish standards) newspaper Dagens Nyheter (Today's News, dn.se) have led a campaign criticising the Swedish lax approach. The news site is paywalled however.

The leader of the Swedish Democrats, the most right-wing in the Swedish parliament, called for the state epidemiologist, Anders Tegnells, to take responsibility and resign immediately:
https://www.expressen.se/nyheter/jimmie-akesson-tegnell-mast...

Interesting enough it's also the same kind of fringe-right that are protesting in against restrictions in Germany that is calling our approach genocidal here:

"Tegnell is a danger to society"
https://projektsanning.com/2020/03/12/coronaviruset-statsepi...

> Computing the column/line pair would indeed be cheap on the Lexer

Calculating line and column may be complicated if you're doing it for display. Perhaps the input has a flag emoji, with a variation selector, followed by a tab... So it makes sense to store the minimum you can and defer line/column calculation, especially if your parse is perf sensitive.

One place this can go wrong is when you have to show a lot of source locations, e.g. you're printing a backtrace for a stack overflow in an interpreter. Here you can easily get into an N^2 situation. So you want to defer but also memoize.

Yup, that's what I'm getting at. It's not an easy 1:1 translation.

It was nice for games like Pokémon; easy access to the inventory, little mini-games on the touch screen, stuff like that. It obviously blew right up in their faces with the Wii U, but it worked for a certain class of game.

The inequality is not the root for why they are arguing that we should stop using "dyslexia" but because it they say dyslexia outright doesn't exist.

The inequality issue is that a spurious classification of children that gives access to better resources but is only available to parents that have the time/money/influence to get a diagnosis for their kids. The point is that having a incorrect label is not just a harmless historical idea but something that we should be motivated to eliminate in favor of a more truthful (and equitable) system.
The thing about pack and crack is that if you try to do something most people think is fair (“preserving the integrity of communities of common interest”), you find that in areas with a urban core and suburban peripheries you end up naturally with pack-and-crack favoring Republicans because Democrats are often hyperconcetrated in the urban areas with Republicans holding a relatively narrow majority in the suburbs.

Of course, if you adopt something like STV in small (say ~5 seat) multimember districts, the opportunity for altering representation by how you draw district lines goes way down, and you still retain individual candidate accountability to the general electorate (unlike in party-list proportional schemes).

The problem isn't “how do you draw lines fairly in single-member, FPTP districts”. The problem is single-member, FPTP districts.
Why limit to 5 dimensions. Each piece type could be its own basis vector! Now we're in 10 dimensions! Wow!
TOH is one of the better shows in this respect. While they don't flaunt the costs of renovations, which often exceed a half million dollars, they do make a serious effort to show the experience and professionalism that the tradesman have. The hosts are always interviewing tradesman to ask what, why, and how they are doing something, and offering questions that you should ask any potential contractor.

With most other renovation shows, the tradesman are just magic fairies that don't do much more than assist the host, who it seems is single-handedly doing the work.
or phase directly through them ;)
A few years ago I found a desirable domain for a friend. I told her in person, pulled it up on hover for the first time right on her machine and had it ready to buy and told her to buy it right then. She said she wanted to first ask her designer about the name. I warned her to tell the designer to not search on the domain name. The designer did a search anyway and when my friend clicked "buy" fewer than 20 mins later, the status had changed from "available" to "taken." The name was taken by Tucows. Either the act of searching on hover or the google search spilled the beans.
For new construction it is common to use sill gaskets that go between sill plates and concrete foundations. This provides additional protection of sill plates from moisture.

The parent never suggested anything anti-lockdown. At face value it is merely questioning the existence of a possible trade off of lockdown. As you've not provided evidence or anecdotal stories to refute the question I'm still in no better position to consider the parent's question with more information.

I mean if we really want to start projecting our own agendas or anti agendas, the whole notion of "evidence" leaves a bad taste in my mouth given the WHO went on record saying "there is no evidence of human transmission". And I am saying this as a scientist!

Our obsession with evidence and data is important (as what are we without empiricism) but boy has it seemed more like a curse rather than a blessing at various stages throughout this pandemic. I am definitely team Bayes on these matters, common sense and experience do hold some value sometimes.
The solution here of course is to stop voting and giving away your souvereignty to politicians (criminals) who will rule over you by force.
Your data actually says the opposite for Europe - it's highly dependent of the country of course, but if you look at page 6, in Southern countries - Spain, Italy, you have >30% of old people living with larger family (columns 'living with partners plus others' and 'no partner, not living alone'). That comes out at <10% for Nordic countries (Finland, Sweden etc)
Thanks for responding, I had seen dexamthasone as a post-treatment for serious cases of the disease and to help out with the cytokine storm on Chris Martenson's series about COVID-19. Thanks for sharing your perspective!
I’m interested to hear a response to this too instead of a sales pitch.
I donate little bits here and there when I can, but I'm unfortunately not in financial position to give what I think the maintainers deserve. Instead I try to submit documentation patches to projects whenever I find myself digging through the source code trying to answer a question the docs didn't make clear.
Just upvote stuff you like, and ignore stuff you don't like. If other people find similar stuff interesting, the front page will be filled with them.

If something made front-page, there are enough people upvoting it that your downvote will not kick it off the first page anyway.
Everyone benefits from public roads even if they don't use them, though.

Since the pandemic, I barely use the road network personally, but all the physical goods I buy are transported over the roads, as are all the people who are employed to make them. From a financing perspective, I'm still an indirect road user.

While it's certainly possible to levy pay-per-use charges for roads, so businesses would pass indirect costs onto their customers. However, it's debatable whether the economic costs of doing so much bookkeeping, as opposed to just funding the road network out of general taxes, is worth the trouble.

Further, pay-per-use road pricing would involve serious invasions of privacy, and income equality impacts, for which the social costs arguably exceed any possible economic benefit.

For public goods that literally everyone benefits from, it hardly seems to be worth the trouble to make sure everyone pays only their share down to the cent.
>So, your brain gets a stereo signal, but because of the "fuzziness" of far-away objects, it doesn't "compute" the depth information?

No, I doubt that's the issue, corrective glasses don't help here at all.

I don't know, lol.

On some NICs (e.g. Netronome), the eBPF code gets compiled to the native code of a core on the NIC and runs there before the kernel even sees the packet. How cool is that?

OK, yes, the Pokémon Home dance is…a tad complex.

But still, they finally have what appears to be a canonical place to store Pokémon, and it’ll be a little annoying when 3DS units start dying off and you can’t dance that particular jig.
It's probably more 2,5D as jumping is the only "ability" able to use this and even then only temporary.
I think blaming rural power users is a dangerous idea for a couple reasons.

> Don't forget, at the current rate we're all subsidizing the rural power users.

I'm sure this is true to some extent—just as it is for telecommunications and mail delivery—but this tower wasn't just for rural power users, was it? I think it was some sort of high-voltage long-distance transmission line. There's a region-wide electrical grid, in part because power generation doesn't happen in city centers. Urban and suburban consumers depend on rural transmission lines.

> They should absolutely pay more if it costs more.

Rural areas produce the food urban areas need. I suppose your goal is to encourage people to move from rural areas to urban areas to lower total societal cost. Presumably you don't also want the food supply to fall and/or food insecurity to increase among the urban poor. So it'd be irresponsible to make this change without careful monitoring and matching policy changes to prevent those effects. You need to keep food affordable, to keep farming affordable, to keep providing services farmers need affordable, etc.
Yep, that's a good trick. At a previous PHP shop we had a large amount of static XML configuration (well it was generated, but not that often). Converting it all to PHP arrays and including it was significantly faster than parsing the XML on each request, and then PHP would cache that result too. Re-running the XML->PHP tool just caused it to re-include/cache these giant arrays of static config. It worked great. I mean, arguments about whether that was a good design or not aside...

(edit to reply since I can't reply to a reply to a reply)

Yep, it is very common in lisp/smalltalk environments to dump the state of the world to disk and re-load it later. This is one of those tricks that gets relearned every generation. :)

For bonus credit apply this analogy to docker images. :)
"I also had some "fun" issues with unpermitted electrical work."

Ca. 2004, we bought a house in a new-ish subdivision of Cedar Park, north of Austin. Built in the mid '90s, it wasn't extremely high-end, but it also wasn't the lower end with the failing drywall joints that were very common. Later, I was replacing a light fixture in a bathroom and discovered that none of the fixtures had electrical boxes behind them---the fixture was attached to the drywall with Romex just going off into the wall.

My current house was built in the 1950s and subsequently remodeled and added-onto at least twice. The custom oak kitchen cabinets by a previous owner are pretty nice. The custom wiring and plumbing less so. Back when I was trying to use ethernet-over-power, I had a fun game of, "Will this outlet get signal?" We had a plumber install a new kitchen faucet and he had to re-do the drain and supply lines in the cabinet---he took the "Device", the prior drain piping, back to the shop to show the rest of the guys.
The following is the eBook publishing pipework I use.

1. Smashwords[1]. They've been around for a long while now, and the publishing system isn't as snazzy as KDP. You input a Word file (.doc, not .docx) and - assuming their "meatgrinder" accepts your document's formatting[2] - the site outputs epub, mobi, pdf, rtf and various other minor format versions. The book then gets published on the Smashwords site.

2. More importantly, Smashwords has a number of partnerships in place - key ones being Apple Books, Kobo, and Barnes & Noble. This ability to ship directly into Apple Books is the MAJOR reason why I continue to use Smashwords as that's where the majority of my 'sales'[3] happen.

3. You can then download the epub and mobi files and upload them to the other two mainstream channels as followup actions: KDP for all Amazon/Kindle distribution; and Google Play Books for the all-important distribution across Android devices.

4. For the cherry on top, I sometimes also offer books in hardcopy. KDP has (I think) processes in place to convert an eBook into a hardcopy book. But mostly I use Lulu[4] because they've been around for a long time, I like their publishing flow, and <insert-vitriolic-anti-kdp-rant-here />!

It's not a repeat of the spring...yet.

The daily number of cases in Spain appears to still be on the rise, and the death curve is usually 3-4 weeks lagging the cases. So deaths is likely still on the rise.

All that said, it may not reach the same proportions as the spring. But it is too early to wave it off either.
Tiny nitpick: that turbofish syntax wouldn't be possible due to lack of support for variadic type parameters, but otherwise this seems reasonable.
Which would be fine if it was the service name (but it’s not).
> Also what world do you live in where the EU is doing better then most of the world? Half the EU countries are in the top 20 deaths / pop.

...because the EU was the center of the first wave, at a point where the whole world was scrambling to find and implement appropriate mitigations.

Try this chart:
https://ig.ft.com/coronavirus-chart/?areas=usa&areas=eur&are...

In any case, the post you're replying to claimed that "we are dealing with the economic challenge[s] posed by COVID better than most of the rest of the world."

I'm not sure why the death numbers, even if they were not confounded like this, would be a meaningful measure for that.
These days, I wouldn't even broach the topic unless I knew the person intimately.
Good question!

The way I think of it, the time dimension isn't relevant because you can make moves because of it. In regular chess, you don't need to keep track of a 3-dimensional game when playing, only the most recent 2D board (and sometimes the one before it for en passant). For that reason, I consider it 2D.
I think it's 5D because it just skips the "our" 3rd dimension. Just because Chess movements are in a 2D space, doesn't make the 3rd dimension temporal. You can move in 2 spatial dimensions and 1 temporal one (the 4th), but when you move through the temporal one you create a split in the 4th one...

"5 - a split" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ca4miMMaCE

Of course I'm assuming you're all playing the game in the same universe I am!

In other words - the game USES 4 dimensions, but is PLAYED in 5D.
Public roads are paid for via gasoline taxes, eg a flat usage tax, and are thus nearly exactly as regressive as a toll.

The only difference is that a poor person could choose to drive an economy car, or an electric vehicle, in order to avoid paying their share of use tax. But so could a rich person.

The other difference is that the usage tax is a hidden cost and tolls are not.
Yes, and they are utterly disingenuous in doing so. "Free speech" has nothing whatsoever to do with the examples they've picked for their front page. "Free speech" is protection from persecution by the state. What they're arguing for is freedom from social consequences. Not only that, but the specific example they've picked could almost be designed to highlight a specific culture-war position; given that their front-man is Toby Young, it's hardly surprising that they're difficult to interpret as anything close to politically neutral.
I use to use GoDaddy and the same experience most here had. I switched to Google Domains and has been a great experience. No upsell, one price.
I think what's really unfortunate here is you started pretty pointed in what you were saying, and you've stayed pointed. It reads as confrontational.

It's unfortunate because you make a good point. Pure functions do not get the attention they deserve. However, no one will read that because you just sound like you're attacking for no real reason.

I'm only saying this because if you're this way here there is a solid chance you're like that in other areas of your life. What you have to say is important, but if you approach your conversations this way people won't listen.

Why did I take the time to write this? Because sometimes those closest to us won't give us the feedback we need.
I think the simple way of passive resistance is calling it "Microsoft GitHub".
Everyone knows that only the best enterprise programmers apply to java positions, and when they somehow manage to pry themselves through the screening, they will help you bicker undecisively for hours when adding even the smallest functionality because they love bringing everything to the table at once instead of even considering to produce value in order to prove themselves as a valuable and knowledgeable part of the team and not the work they do. So it's a win from the start. Especially if you have 400 people in your team with 54 well-documented gatherings under their belts.

But if I'm already teetering on whether $135 is worth it, AND you have the long delay between games, then the reality is I'm saying f--- no to a $360 Zelda right now. (for example)

If I already have a PS5 (not out yet, but which is already purchase worthy) then I would say f--- yes to even a $100 Zelda (were it available).
