Also someone in Sydney who hasn't caught a train since probably March, masks do seem kind of rare places I go (south and eastern suburbs). And the days of 1.5m social distancing are long gone. It's not enforced at all, people walk all over paths and stairs and you have to squeeze by.

Which is probably not a big deal, overall, because as you say rates are low and it's basically gone at this point. Some places are taking it seriously though, I know for example a relative with a child in daycare had to get her daughter tested multiple times. Every symptom needs a test, and kids tend to have snotty noses even when healthy, which gets them pulled aside and parents called for a test before they can come back.
I tried Winamp a few months ago and was disappointed to find that it's evolved into a media center more than a player. I was hoping just for a simple player where I can easily drop files in a running playlist, like VLC does. There were also some issues I experienced (that I don't remember), but I'm guessing they have been ironed out since win 10 is officially supported now.
At it's very base this makes no sense. It comes from a "moral" sentiment that for some reason animals should be rationed, as if life is limited. All science is cursed by unnecessary repetition but there's nothing special about animal studies that makes this problem any worse.

Are non-standard integers infinite numbers?
I can't agree with that or let it pass. The fundamental reason it failed was because there was no checks and balances which are inherent in a true free market system (or reasonably close ones like western economies). Autocratic Communism requires actual morals and concerns for the people at large by the "Party" and not just for their own advancement. While some of that may have existed in the early idealistic USSR, it certainly no longer existed by the 1980s, all that remained was an Autocratic government. It was a complete failure and was living on borrowed time. Autocratic Party Capitalist systems like the Chinese system can work because they generally leave the markets alone at the low to mid levels and attempt to weed out the worst corruption in the upper layers while they take the cream off the top of the economy, the market mostly takes care of itself with pricing, supply and demand as well as incentives. Similarly with Western style government economic systems but citizens actually also have personal freedom as well as economic freedom.

“Flagged” is exclusively “users click flag, algorithm tipping point reached”. The site admins can offer guidance on how something could result in heavy flagging, and can override it if it seems like users weren’t acting in good faith.

“Dead” is exclusively admins, and can only be overridden by a high karma site user vouching for it (which undeads it).
Ah, yes my mistake, I interpreted as factory _location_.
I feel like the reification (or in particular the performance characteristics thereof) are more important than the repeatability.

I think delimited continuations are a much more accurate description of what algebraic effects do. There are implementations of delimited continuations in Common Lisp based on the condition system but if you have too many continuations (or if you switch between them too often) you will blow up the stack. Other implementations (of async rather than continuations) use macros to translate source to continuation passing style and then rely on the compiler being clever, which sbcl is ok at.

Note that you can implement resumable exceptions so long as you have a reliable way to do nonlocal transfers of control (eg return-from or go in CL; or some kind of exception which can only be caught by a try that you write and not by someone else’s, though the finally would still run), and some dynamically scoped list of first clsss functions. Implementing delimited continuations is much more involved.

I spent a fairly short period of time in "tech."

At some point I decided that's now how I want to spend my life. I've spent the last year's in manufacturing. Mainly building software/hardware stacks to become more efficient. Understand where they are currently. How they can increase capacity and ideally jobs. Plus work on helping to train workers using 21st century techniques.

Much of it is an uphill battle within the industry or companies.

The ability to be part of something that helps to physically make food/beverage/products is more fulfilling.
"The most common reasons they gave were that the studies didn’t achieve statistical significance, a controversial but commonly used threshold for publication; that the data were part of a pilot project; and that there were technical issues with the animal models. But none of these is a valid excuse to not publish your findings in the scientific record, says study co-author Kimberley Wever, a metascientist at Radboud University Medical Center. “All animal studies should be published, and all studies are valuable for the research community.”

I hard disagree that pilot projects and results from data with technical issues should be published. There is a real cost to write-ups (time). Pilot projects usually are done just to prove feasibility of a protocol, and data retrieved from experiments with technical issues is likely noise. This could include inaccurate measurements, cross-contamination, etc. Taking the time to write and publish all the junk is, frankly prohibitive. I do think null-results should be publishable, however.

The title is a bit of click bait also: The animals are not missing. Make a request of the relevant Institutional Review Board.

Are any of you voting my comment down actually scientists?
I come from a Sourashtra speaking community. We’re a small bunch of people immigrated from Gujarat to Southern parts in different waves during the Middle Ages, mostly because of war and trade.

Our language has been preserved though the common speak and has no agreed upon script, so it is majorly taught to the children by their parents and relatives. Most of us know Tamil/Kannada/Telugu because of the main language in the place we live in and also use it to publish local magazines.

The magazines though are published in Hindi, Tamil, Sourashtra scripts, the interest is declining at a fast rate. Fewer people want to buy and even fewer want to write. In my city, some are distributed for free only to see it being used for packing pakodas and samosas. Another factor is, many in our community marry people from outside the communities (I'm not against that) and their children can barely understand the language. Our language is still not in the endangered category, but I see it becoming one in the coming decades. More people in our community are getting educated, becoming modern (by western standards), want their children to communicate in English and as a result most people have become middle-class to rich. The reasons for our endangerment is partly because of modernisation.

I'm seeing the coming generations have lesser and lesser interest in growing the language as my Grandpa rightly feared, and will be one of the ones forgotten by the end of this century.

I think hooks are more like applicative/arrow and are not monads. This ensures the shape is static and you cannot branch based on input.

This also illustrates how weird it is to call function components pure. They’re not, there as effecful as can be!

We mostly sell ore, meat, and grain. If I'm reading the ECI right this takes no particular skill and these are common products that many countries in the world can produce, explaining the low score. It's why we rank alongside so many African nations.

I have one, and it's a lovely machine. An 8-bit but it can take a meg or so of RAM and a few megs of storage. Unfortunately, on unique, proprietary memory cards.

I would adore a modern version, say running text-only Linux on a RasPi Zero W. No hinge, letterbox mono screen, and a couple of CF or full-size SD slots...

My secret sauce of using Twitter is simply

* blocking popular and/or controversial political figures

* blocking whole list of controversial or outrage keywords

* training myself to skip tweets by outrage machine when they succeed to sneak through above two filters

* unfollowing anyone who has poor signal to noise ratio. More tweets about outrage than about anything I find useful.

With all these my twitter experience has been relatively pleasant.
If the newsletter is the project itself, then it isn’t a valid use of “Show HN”, since the guidelines specifically exclude newsletters.

If you think that the exclusion only excludes newsletters under circumstances other than your own, you can use the footer Contact link to ask the mods for guidance. They can clarify the intent of the rules, alter the wording in the guidelines to close loopholes, and override community flags if they support your interpretation.
As for me, I shamelessly downvote most comments promoting climate denialism, because (1) it's wrong, and (2) it's not going to be productive (people have been having the same discussion for 10+ years), and (3) in order to have any productive discussion on the climate, people have to agree on basic shared facts. I'm not interested in the 700th rehash of whether the sun explains global warming.

And no, we've been having "But science requires skepticism!" debate for 10+ years as well. I can literally hear both sides' argument in my head, there's no point in repeating it.

Sometimes my inner keyboard warrior gets the better of me and I end up replying to these comments instead of downvoting, but in retrospect, I think I'm doing this community a disservice by amplifying the noise.
It is a generic accessibility problem with any UI toolkit that goes beyond the "native toolchain". However, customizing everything from drawing layer is the only way to achieve any kind of UI consistency, especially on mobile. You can go very far with React Native approach (using native widgets), but there are limits.

There are many failed attempts to draw UI oneself. But ultimately, it is because development cost (you need to implement a lot of widgets, supporting new OS capabilities in on-going basis). If Google can support these development cost, it can be done.

Accessibility issues can be solved for these toolkits. OS often exposed some kind of the API to achieve that. For web, you certainly can have hidden elements to support accessibility. Again, it is just a matter of development cost.

As you said, nobody should seriously mistake Flutter app with semantic web. Most of the SPA online will break if you style CSS differently or disable Javascript, this is just the world we live in. The missing of semantic information for Flutter app should be treated as the generic accessibility problem, not some resistance to the semantic web vision.
You used to be able to do the same thing with Facebook. It requires a lot of discipline there, because Facebook is always trying to douse you with a hose of poop.

On Twitter it’s easier. I follow baseball, ancient history people and museums, local topics, and some tech topics, and a tight list of COVID sources due to my job. But 2020 is a crazy year and even very typically narrow focus nerds are political and upset.

While Deadbeef is a great player in general, it doesn't buffer the data when playing from a network drive, which causes a playback interruption every time there's a connection problem, even for a split second.

For this reason I've been resorting to using mpv as an audio player, even though it's interface is not really designed with music playback in mind.

While it's a cool result, I think the security of this is really lacking. The author mentions to not want to expose the Rasperry Pi to the internet due to security reasons, but then does so anyway through a reverse proxy, which doesn't even add any authentication.

To exploit this, you can simply do:
1. Search in AWS networks for open ports 6000. Tools like masscan help, but if you give it time it will also show up on shodan.io
2. Connect and send a GET request to the /switch/on path and check if you get a 200.
Given the track record of “people’s revolutions” can you blame them?
I believe the word is society as opposed to Twitter. Anything dealing with people either changes nothing and is useless or it influences society and its effect cannot be escaped. Beanie Babies technically fall into the same category as they became a generational touchstone and every speculator who went bankrupt by affected services usage and tax revenue. It is sensationalized but I fail to see anything new.
The keyboard template itself was a physical copy-protection measure.

So people photocopied them... but they were colour-coded, and you had to faff around cutting it out, sellotaping it together, sticking it to cardboard, trimming it to fit...

So many programs came with function-key templates that some 3rd parties sold little spiral-bound books that sat on the template platform, and you could flip through to the one you needed.
>"Do you estimate there will be X hours of bug fixing and add that to the price of billable hours?"

I'll give you an example of particular product I made for a client:

The agreement I had stated that I would support (fix bugs, no feature change) for 3 month. After that it was $X per hour with $XX minimum charge. Alternatively client could always sign for a year of support at $xxx per year.

Currently I have a contract where they simply pay me flat fee per year with the clause that each side can terminate it with 1 month advance notice.

But in my long career I've had all kinds of contracts. Including getting licensing fee while I maintained and own product (I paid for development myself)
Not too excited by Ru made software, but perhaps that is just me being excessively worried.
I think the issue is which “experts” are talking. The reality, is that there are no “firearm data science” experts, unless you decide to count the NRA or something.

My overall point here, is that even the narrative given “guns cause violence” is objectively not true. We can prove that. Similarly, we have substantial evidence to the contrary. In fact that the firearm homicide rate simply correlates with overall homicide rate.

That is much higher in certain population(s) of the U.S. which leads to a dramatic skewing of any analysis. WHICH btw I’d argue the experts are intentionally neglecting discussing.
If the safety and consumer satisfaction data backs up the companies that have decided to ditch the screens, I expect to see others follow suit. As others in this thread have pointed out, few automakers have really seemed up to the challenge of developing a touchscreen experience that is truly seamless.

Anecdotally, I bought a used 2019 Corolla recently and the "maintenance needed" alert that beeped and flashed while I was driving down the highway scared the crap out of me. It turned out that it was merely reminding me to get my oil changed, I couldn't believe it. It was so much less polished of an experience than I was used to with the 'Yota.
Just so we call out facts, and for the record I am not right wing. But the second article is false on its face a self claimed hard left antifa associate killed someone in portland less than a month ago. So the claim that there has been no death puts the whole article in the making stuff up as they go along camp.

As for the first article I would agree with the DHS's assessment and it gets to the heart of why each side commits violence. The radical left tends to see violence as a means to get what they want (think a child throwing a temper tantrum). The radical right tends to see violence as a declaration of war (think the OK city bombing). When the left commits violence it tends to be against the populus that they believe disagrees with them and that violence tends to stem from a "how dare you disagree with me mentality". When the right commits violence it is generally against the government and is generally a mentality more akin to a suicide bomber. I can certainly see where the government would find one form of violence more concerning that the other even if the touch points of one side are more frequent than the other. Make no mistake about it, right leaning violence intent is to be more deadly and more violent than left leaning as they are not intent on getting what they want, they are intent on revenge whatever the cost.
If you have time to do the work to get a pilot project off the ground then you absolutely have time to do a short write up on how it failed.
Does foobar allow you to just start playing music without adding it to a playlist yet? I remember trying to switch off of Winamp years ago and was shocked that I needed to add files to a playlist before they'd even play. With Winamp you just search for the song, play it, and the whole album is added to a temporary unsaved playlist that automatically changes depending on what album is being played.
(jumping up the thread to try and hop over some confusion...)

The problem isn't with unsigned types generally. Its with subregister unsigned types. So, size_t and uintptr_t are fine. uint32_t, uint16_t, uint8_t (on LP64 ABIs) are pessimized and demand zero-extension instructions (or proofs that they can be safely elided) prior to causing side-effects. uint64_t on a LP128 ABI would also be problematic.

signed 32-bit int is also fine... because RISC-V specifically has a suite of arithmetic instructions that unconditionally sign-extend from bit 31. Even without those, it would still be fine because the carve-out for undefined behavior is wide enough for INT_MAX+1 to remain positive. Same thing for all of the other narrow-width signed integer types. If you increment SHRT_MAX and then use it to index memory, its perfectly legal undefined behavior to access base + SHRT_MAX+1 instead of base + SHRT_MIN.

However, that's not legal for the unsigned types. They are all mandated to wrap in 2's complement. base + UINT_MAX+1 must access base + 0 when the index is `unsigned int`, even on a 64-bit machine.

1. This uses python to allow easy custom scripts. If they instead had wanted to offer the same functionality in a typed language, what would have been the easiest way to do that? Golang?
