If anything, average people are affected more.

When REITs and the like lose money, at least those losses are tied up to their company. Worst case, they go bust - but their owners aren't personally responsible for the losses.

Now, imagine being some average tech-Joe that bought a house for $2M last year (almost entirely on a mortgage), the job market goes to sh!t, and subsequently the housing market follows after. You're forced to sell, and take a 20% loss - selling it for $1.6M

You're now $400k in the red.

That's a massive debt to carry around, if you're not able to continue in some high-earning job.

This is something you (unfortunately) see in cities that are heavily affected by boom/bust cycles.

Price volatility can be a real killer if you've stretched your resources to the max, even if the market rebounds. Solvency can be a killer.

(But as for why this could affect average people - I'd imagine there being some correlation between business real-estate, and private real-estate. The general real-estate market has a big market psychology component to it. So hysteria in one market could very well transition to another)
But, for instance - public money is used to build roads, yet companies that build them make money in the process. There is no state-owned road building company. What's the difference here?
Someone is going to pay. It may not be you at the point of the needle, but somebody will.

Governments will pay a lot to get their economies going again. That burden will in turn fall on taxpayers one way or another; whether it's directly via taxes or budget cuts or indirectly via inflation or debt service.
DDT is effectively harmless.

You can eat it and be fine for a bet.

In an ocean, even if you swapped these barrels for a real poison it doesn't matter. It dilutes to nothing.

The insanity on HN about this, I hope clarifies their intelligence on everything.

To go to these commentators for their view on say, Rust, is just as insane.

And this isn't about stupidity, the banning of DDT was criminal, it killed many many people. Perhaps in the millions. But it was poor people. And this is why HN continues this attitude. It wasn't real people killed to them.
Hi. I'm Bill Woodcock, the eponymous "woody" of "woodynet." And executive director of PCH, and chairman of Quad9's board. They are three separate corporations, which exist for different reasons, and under different tax regulations (PCH and Quad9 are public-benefit not-for-profits, whereas WoodyNet exists to pay taxes on taxable transactions and keep the non-profits' books clean), but they're very closely related.

In this case, you're seeing WoodyNet IPs and IN-ADDRs because WoodyNet is giving transit to the Quad9 anycast instance you're talking to.

I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about how all this works.

I'd also note that round-robining between two different organizations with radically different privacy practices and security services... um... might not make the most sense? Depending what your goal is, of course. Again, happy to talk about any of this, just let me know if I (or any of the Quad9 or PCH folks) can be of help.

You could, but it's not a very helpful way to think about things.

If you think, "I want to commit suicide, therefore I must be in a dark place," it's putting the cart before the horse, for sure. Most people are under the illusion that suicidal thoughts stem from feelings of depression / sadness, and the reality is that these are three entirely different things: suicidal thoughts, depression, and sadness are three things which are often very different from each other.

So you think someone must be sad because they have depression, or they must not be depressed because they aren't sad, and these incorrect beliefs can lead to harm.

And you also think that someone who is not acting sad or depressed must not be thinking about suicide, when very often someone who has decided to commit suicide may feel very happy or liberated having made that choice.

It can be really enlightening to talk to different people who have experienced or who experience suicidal ideation, because their experiences are varied, and while suicidal ideation is considered a risk factor, it doesn't mean that you're more likely to commit suicide and the people with suicidal ideation are often reluctant to talk about it because of the stigma. Like, "I experience suicidal thoughts, and I want to talk about them, but if I talk about them, people will wrongly think I want to commit suicide, or wrongly think that I am depressed, or wrongly think I am sad, so I am unlikely to get the sympathy or help I need and it is likely that talking about it will have a negative impact on my relationships."
Cypress is horribly unreliable. We used to use it, and tests would pass, then fail on subsequent runs with no code changes, due to internal bugs within Cypress screenshot plugins, if I remember right.

I have no idea if it is any better now, but we dropped it about 6 months ago in favor of pure Selenium C# for our UI tests.

Yeah -- for all that people are worried about efficiency gains, I'm kind of doubtful that most end-users, even on slow connections, will even notice that caches are restricted to within domains.

I suspect that website who are conscious of loading times are already testing performance with nothing cached. And websites that aren't conscious of loading times are probably using bundling techniques that would already make cross-site caches useless. In both cases, I'm having a hard time believing that loading JQuery is the reason anyone's website is slow.

There are theoretical schemes that could allow us to share libraries between sites without having the same privacy impacts, but I'm not sure it's even worth the effort of proposing them.

Check my thinking here, from a lay perspective:

So the fastest way to point B in space (Mars, Europa, whatever) would be to accelerate constantly until you're halfway there, and then flip around and start slowing down, right?

OTOH, a more efficient approach is to achieve some velocity V via an initial burn and/or gravity assist, and cruise along via Newton with no additional burn until time to slow down and drop into orbit at your destination.

I further assume that, if you live passengers you'd prefer not to render into soup, you must labor under an acceleration limit.

Realistically, what IS that limit? And would would the acceleration plan look like for a long flight like Mars with people aboard?

Lots of hard-ish SF (notably the Expanse) handwaves this away with drugs or whatever, which is fine for storytelling, but I'm sort of curious what we could actually tolerate.
I didn’t say it was a punishment. I said it was a good argument. There’s no legal method of getting back ill-gotten gains from someone who’s dead. But if you can’t pass along your estate, it doesn’t matter.

For the record, I don’t think the state taking away most (or all) of a person's estate after they’ve died is a punishment at all.
It claims that a fair use defense exists and points to two of the four factors in fair use (mistakenly referring to them as separate claims). And, sure, that's an argument that Fair Use applies, which I missed, but is not an argument that this isn't a valid 512 notice. A valid 512 notice does not require actual infringement, it requires that the person the sending the notice have and assert a good-faith belief in infringement. While we can't explore the mind of the RIAA as to whether they have such a belief, they clearly have asserted that the tool exists for the express purpose of infringing their works such that knowingly distributing it would make the host liable for contributory infringement as well as making anti-circumvention claims.

An assertion of non-infringement, whether based on fair use or anything else, is obviously a basis for a counter-notice, and also an argument to make if the RIAA actually sues the content provider after the takedown (without or without counter-notice based restoration) to the service provider.

OP's linked to the relay board carrier Olimex makes but that is not really the right one, they probably meant to link this:

https://www.olimex.com/Products/IoT/ESP8266/MOD-WIFI-ESP8266...

It's an open source hardware ESP8266 module by Olimex, roughly comparable to modules like the ESP-12. The ESP8266 chip itself is obviously not open source but the module surrounding it is. But yeah I agree, these are pretty meh... I've actually used one of these Olimex modules and there's nothing special about them. IMO, being OSH doesn't really do all that much for you in this case, especially when the actual chip isn't also OSH, and these modules don't even have FCC pre-cert. They've also been around for a long time, from what I remember they were one of the earliest crop of modules with most/all of the pins of the ESP8266 broken out that became available.

As I outlined elsewhere in the thread, a "raise hand" button is way too bulky since it's essentially a "request the floor" button. When you're talking naturally with a group of people, you don't submit formal requests for the floor; you simply lean in and everyone subconsciously acknowledges the fact that you intend to say something. The speaker can naturally cede, or you can jump in at a suitable pause. Or you can back off entirely and that's fine too!

The simplest way to accomplish this is through push-to-talk. Since you have to push a button before you can speak, the UI can highlight your speaker tile and allow others to acknowledge your intent. It's much more fluid and natural than formally "raising your hand" and then having to rescind it if you decide to back off. The point is to provide low-level primitives that can become almost reflexive parts of video chats.

The owner of the repo writes many single-file libraries in C. Apparently you are not familiar with his coding style; otherwise you wouldn't have these complaints on linking. For his (and many others') libraries, you "instantiate" the implementation in a .c file and declare functions in other source files. This way you only compile the library implementation once.

In addition, although the name of the repo is "single_file_libs", it links to many double-file libraries consisting of a pair of .c and .h files. These libraries won't have the issues you are talking about. Developers are well aware of the potential linking problems.

That said, you are right that single/double-file libraries tend to be small. It is hard to work with a file with >10,000 LOCs anyway.
For me NextCloud is all about it's PIM capabilities and having contacts, calendars, tasks and notes as a DAV server.

Also, their files support is pretty poor, no? Only a web view, no "dropbox"-like clients.

Anyhow, we plan on adding file support soon too. :)

Personally, I think people should only do C++ header-only libraries if technically necessary (e.g. heavy reliance on templates). Otherwise it just unnecessarily hurts compile times, as you've correctly noted, because the compiler still has to parse all those "inline" functions.

Because they use a monorepo. With monorepos at large companies the individual git repositories will be much larger and contain a ton more branches than if you have a repository-per-project model.

Would you prefer if X.Org developers just abandoned it? We would have "X.Org is Abandonware" ten years ago.

And it is not zero sum game. These are different projects. People tried to fix X and failed. No one on this thread is going to maintain X.Org. But hope is not lost — another project have risen to maturity in last ten years. It covers some use cases and now you are bashing it because it is not perfect.

All of it while X.Org still works and I use it every day.

I have experience with tons of languages, lisps and non-lisps.

I don't really get this argument. It's not any harder to read `(if foo` than it is to read `if (foo)`. It's purely a matter of what you've gotten used. I don't think it's an objective measure, it's purely about what you've already trained your brain to pattern-match on.

Yep, this is kind of npm but for browsers. But already the sheer size of npm shows how this is hardly possible: http://www.modulecounts.com/ -- I expect the npm repository to be at the size of two to three letters in gigabytes. This is quite large compared to the total hard disk cache of your browser (which also includes images, CSS, HTML, etc).

If "we" gave you $20B to move a vaccine from proof-of-concept to production, could you do it? I know I couldn't... That's a service, it's worth money, it's worth paying for.

Edit: people don't seem to understand that there are several stages in pharma development... (1) research, (2) trials, (3) scaling production. It sounds to me that even if (1) and (2) are "paid for" (with public money), (3) is still non-trivial and therefore expensive.
I think IDEs and REPLs never went out of style. They just got forgotten about for awhile while the cycle between making updates to code and seeing the results was super fast. There's no need for live components on a simple non-webpacked JS/HTML/CSS webpage. You just reload the page, or have the page reload automatically every second.

Now that Node and Webpack take absolutely forever (relatively speaking) to get your JS2020/React/Redux/Bootstrap/SCSS app recompiled after a modification, being able to write the correct thing once and not have to wait a minute to have confidence in it is hugely valuable. Get the REPL time down to a second, and IDEs aren't terribly valuable anymore.

That's just reality: some people are not attentive and will steamroll others. It's up to us to jump in and help people get heard. If we start running into the same problems as real life, then we're going in the right direction.

I think a "request the floor" button still has its place in much larger group events (imagine a seminar), but for small to medium meetings it's pretty overkill. The goal should be to lower the bar for fluid conversation, rather than to formalize it into a turn-taking process.

> Is this not chosen as a form of punishment?

It's only punishment if you think there is a natural right to control the disposition of property after death. Otherwise, it's just a argument as to why a purely optional benefit not grounded in rights should not be extended by the state.

Not extending a benefit to which there is no entitlement is not inherently a punishment.

Sometimes I think what’s the point of this tangle of make files (or cmake/conan or whatever). It’s more difficult to get right than one big single source file.

I am a math professor. In my observation, there is a huge amount of material available on the web, but it isn't very centralized -- especially at the upper levels.

My advice would be to get a book on any topic which interests you, read through it, and do a significant number of the exercises. You might try Epp's Discrete Mathematics, Hefferon's Linear Algebra, Colley's Vector Calculus, Dudley's Elementary Number Theory, Spivak or Apostol's Calculus (these go far beyond ordinary freshman calculus), Pinter's A Book of Abstract Algebra, among many others. Some of these books are expensive to buy new, but just buy older editions.

Resources like Khan Academy and 3blue1brown are also fantastic, and I have shared some of these with my students. I'd recommend using these as a supplement; if you rely on them solely then you'll develop vague intuition but not much else.

Also, with the pandemic, there are a huge number of traditional university courses that have moved online, and you could probably enroll in one for not too much money. Check the RateMyProfessor reviews -- you want a mix of positive reviews claiming the prof inspired them, and negative reviews complaining that work was expected. I have a RateMyProfessor review which complains bitterly that "homework is graded for accuracy and not completion". :)
