With everyone who can staying at home, people not dying in car accidents, or getting the flu, you would expect there to be a vastly reduced rate of mortality.

Instead, there's a moderate increase, despite us taking drastic preventative measures. Lift the measures, and mortality will skyrocket.

... Meanwhile, in parts of Asia, the lockdowns have lifted months ago, and life is back to normal. That's what happens when your government takes this disease seriously, instead of half-assing it's response to the epidemic.
2021 Compute Module 4 will have NVMe storage.
Remember, this is just one side. Is there any detailed response from the other side? With something like this the tone and atmosphere has a grave weight on the perception. Like you can say someone is wrong in a nice, professional way, but also in a meany, bullying way.

And it doesn't even need to be seen by the involved people as mean, if they have such a "toxic" type relationship. But a Code of Conduct is also a bit about the perception of others, and how it sells a project.

In his statement there are hints indicating in this direction. He mentions his talk was made as a parody. Parodies by nature are on a thin line between being funny englightment, and being mean bullying. So it can be the case that his see himself as funny, while other might see it as a mean insult.

And he mentions some unwritten rules which were applied to him specifically because his talk was somewhat special because it was an opener(?) or something. Which means he got more attention than your regular talk.
That's the implementation used in previous posts, like 'parse, don't validate'. This post is talking about using newtypes instead (which seems like a worse choice in the case of NonEmpty, but may be more pragmatic when a correct-by-construction approach would be infeasable)
Most people don't see these articles, or know how to buy and manage their own domain. Most people want email that is easy enough to use and generally functional and stops them having to see spam. We're all in a bit of a bubble where we've seen enough to be wary, but most people haven't.

Don't know why you are downvoted, because individual transport is so established in our family and social structures that it is unrealistic to expect a scooter, bike or public transport to fully replace it.

Yes, if I live in a coastal city in the US, maybe you wouldn't need a vehicle. But everyone else...

If your trip to the doc is > 20km or > 15 miles you probably either take the car or have a lot of time on your hands. Same with family that needs your support from time to time.

Transporting even just groceries can be a problem on a bike. Sure, I said the same thing when I was a student when the next supermarket was directly next to university and I could just go there every day.
> When you're using AMD [...] proprietary drivers, which are way faster

Haha, no.
I agree with you insofar that nuclear weapons might really constitute a proper paradigm-shift that just changes the way war happens and the way those conflicts are being fought and ultimately resolved. But I'm not sure that's necessarily a given.

Germany and the UK were fairly closely coupled economically speaking in the run-up WW1. The UK was Germany's largest trading partner and biggest export market (which also used to be a concern for the UK government back then). Let's not forget that the label 'Made in Germany' was initially introduced for imported goods from Germany to warn UK consumers of inferior/cheaper copy-cat products

But in my opinion, the fact that back then sexism caused strong income differences only makes it even more likely that this was a rationally coordinated team effort by the Einstein's.

That doesn't contradict anything I've said. If anything, it supports my position.

As for that destroying their marriage, it seems that she got pregnant from another man,

He married her after she had that child. To my mind that seems to be fairly strong evidence that they had a powerful bond that overcame many obstacles that would have prevented most people from ever even getting married.

I don't typically read Jezebel, largely due to the criticisms you cite. But the piece I posted is backed up by data and strikes me as reasonable and even-handed.

I don't think it was engineered by the publication. It seems to have been some one off thing by some random female author who got frustrated with her efforts to get published.
You can't really call it exhaustive. Exhaustive means "Including or considering all elements or aspects; fully comprehensive".

This list only covers the basics of React, and doesn't even include tooling.
FWIW: Now you can get raw PCI-E access with the Compute Module [0] + IO Board [1], allowing you to put a SSD on there over a robust interface.

But yeah, I would also love this to be built in on something like the RPI. Closest option according to my research is probably the Rock Pi, but then it's not really straight forward to boot from it etc...

It is exponentially harder to contain the virus on continent with hundreds of millions of people with dozens of countries than to contain it on islands with one centralized government. It is not only Europe and USA, but also India, South America, Middle East, Russia, etc that fail at it for the same reason. The only continental country that managed to control the virus is China, but they can do it mainly because they have no problem banning immigration (which is not feasible for EU countries for example) and because they can use the centralized government to make decisions that would not fly elsewhere. Effectively, China can function as a really big island.
I can't understand the reason why this port even was invented. The cables I have seen are few times bigger than the connector itself, so there is a lot of pressure and tension being applied on that tiny port. Only thing I can think of is saving some PCB space, but if they put more effort into arranging components, then I am sure full size port would fit nicely.
Well, if it counts for anything, your comment is well written.
Article 34.3.a seems to disavow the data processor of such requirement.

The communication to the data subject referred to in paragraph 1 shall not be required if any of the following conditions are met:
(a) the controller has implemented appropriate technical and organisational protection measures, and those measures were applied to the personal data affected by the personal data breach, in particular those that render the personal data unintelligible to any person who is not authorised to access it, such as encryption;

I believe that Germany is seeing so little excess mortality exactly because they did an acceptable job with their lockdown.

Italy and France are seeing excess mortality.
It's still USB storage. It's theoretically possible to solder a PCIe ssd on the Raspberry Pi 4. At the cost of USB 3 support.
This does not appear to be blocking. Hypotheses as I understand them:

- You will offer a freemium model

- You don't have early users

- You want to get users to test your product and offer feedback

Lauching does not seem to be blocked with the pricing model given that you're offering a freemium, so I'd say don't worry about this for now: launch and learn. One assumption I'm making is that you can support many users as in the effect of an additional user is marginal. Why does it matter? It is not our case, since our product enables users to do compute intensive machine learning jobs through collaborative notebooks with automatic model tracking and deployment. This is why we're going with an "early access" type of offering and Slack channels to stay in touch with users and help them.

If an additional user doesn't imply a hefty price in compute/storage and you don't have to worry about Poisson distribution, then I'd say just launch it.

Again, this is my input given a set of hypotheses I'm making about what your product does. I may be wrong and you're welcome to correct.
> Yes. I speak as a person who has repeatedly lost money in real estate. Real estate is hardly a slam-dunk guaranteed money making machine, as plenty of people in 2008 will attest to. It's a tough business. Just looking at the winners is called confirmation bias.

That doesn't really prove your point. Just like you may gain wealth in real estate without having to have created it, you can lose wealth without it being your fault in any way.
> You have a very high opinion of politicians and policy-making. Perhaps too high an opinion, I fear.

Could we please not use personal accusations like these? I disagree with your viewpoint, fine. To point at that as if this must mean it is an unreasonable and naive opinion, without giving any factual back-up of your own viewpoint isn't going to get us anywhere.

> It costs energy and resources to scrap a car and to produce and distribute its replacement so this should be taken into account.

- the scrapping of said car is an eventual cost regardless

- the replacement is not another car
Such small country does not have proper car industry, but there are some local electrical trolleybuses made(maybe few dozen a year), or some parts for automotive industry - like continental tire factory in Kaunas, some parts made for mercedes, etc, etc...
This terrifies me. I recently signed up for Google One just to mitigate the lack of support if I were to lose access to my account. Perhaps the other thing to do is not comment using my account, which feels very wrong.

All of the other options have drawbacks too. With Fastmail or another provider, you're trusting another corp. Setting up your own involves a bunch of work and difficult to solve drawbacks like spam filtering. I'm also not sure that it's harder to compromise in the grand scheme of things. There are horror stories of people losing domains too.

I think this is a prime case of out of touch governments failing to keep up with regulations. My email is part of my identity at this point and more valuable than any of the plastic that has been assigned to me by the govt. I can't think of much in my life that would be more painful to lose than that email address. Yet, we are all so powerless...
Range types in the Pascal family, unless I'm mistaken, are not checked for legitimate values at compile time - they just crash at runtime if you try to create one with an invalid value. Syntactic sugar for an assert statement in the constructor. It's usually quick and straightforward to replicate the feature in a modern language with generics and first-class functions.

When people refer to 'type safety', they almost always mean compile-time safety. Not just ensuring that a value of 6 cannot exists, but ensuring that none of your code is trying to create one. The unwieldy enumeration allows that.
Why you should study history in school
A lot of comments about setting up your own domain but the cost is prohibitive to a lot a people:

- 1 to $5 a month, sometimes per address. It does pile up.

- no office suite of the level of google docs/office365

- need some basic know-how to do it

- price could go down but then you have to learn about dkim, spf, etc. not your regular customers/consumers thing. Not even your regular HN reader/participant thing.

edit:

- gmail to gmail works, no brainer and the UX is the same for everyone ; your own UX/provider will introduce hiccups
Agreed, just mentioning a "technical difference" that could be used to determine if people are watching in real time vs downloading-with-a-tool-that-grabs-everything-as-fast-as-possible. Since this is Google, it's fair to assume they might be interested in anything that causes them to lose Ad revenue.
So this only works if you only use the email as a username. No way to notify the user of things like ToS changes, security issues, notifications from the service, etc.
Xorg is better, but not by much. On write-fail they setup an internal buffer ~16k and if that one is saturated it is closed (that + whatever the kernel has). The protocol/packing is not that busy in the server to client direction so it lasts for quite a while.

The way the disconnect happens is interesting though, I am not certain enough about the threaded-IO implementation in regards to hotplug but a quick glance looks like if a hotplug occurs at the same time a client is disconnected the sparse allocation requirement of open() could get an input device confused as a client as it is cleaned up. The odds of that happening though :D

In the wayland code it looks like they tried to have a buffer strategy at some point, but then got too clever for their own good (epoll designs + asynch-OO projected over C is... yeah) and somewhere in 'closure/write/buffering to lower #syscalls/callbacks' landed in a long chain of error propagation and immediate kill.

The best way I found (hence using it) is to have memory mapped ring buffers and just have an atomic head-tail indicator. This makes file-descriptor transfers (DuplicateHandle from win32 fame is just so much prettier) messier, but it means that you can have a recovery strategy and see the backpressure buildup and rate-limit. Since it is mostly input events or 'drag-resize' (and those can be merged) in that direction, silently dropping them and have mouse cursor 'jank' is better than losing your work. If all else fails, the watchdog handle is pulled and the client is set to migrate to a fallback server (if set).

Facebook is only mentioned in the context of how I did things previously, before I implemented the email/password registration.
> and i just want to know what stack i want to use

This is mostly geared towards basic learning and documentation, so you definitely kinda need something else for finding a stack. You can pick one of the tutorials and use it as a guide for your future work.

I mean, it pretty much only covers React as far as frameworks go, so I guess if you follow it you'll pick React plus some CSS framework? There's still other stuff you need other than that for a "stack".
There is a heatsink. It's a large chunk of metal under the keyboard.
During the peak of the Covid-19 outbreak in the UK, it wasn't a small percentage increase of deaths, the number of deaths DOUBLED.
To add another data point: From Mar-Aug,the number of deaths in New York exceeded the expectation by 65%. The US total from Mar-Jul was 20% higher than expected.

GDPR specifies the right to data-portability. In Europe services have to provide data in a machine readable, commonly used format for export.

I've said and I will say it again: email providers should be treated as public utility services, like telephone services and you should be able to port your e-mail address to another provider, if you'd like: https://viorel.me/2020/2020-09-25-you-should-be-able-to-lega...

I've started this process a few months ago after 14 years of gmail and it's incredibly tedious and I'm not half done yet. I am trying to move my accounts on my new e-mail address. I'm lucky I have a password manager that lists most of my accounts
And if you are even on Office 365 Home account, you actually can interact with human support in case of issues.
Huh, considering the case (& Unicode) issue (that I wasn't aware of !), shouldn't using email addresses as logins be considered bad practice ?
> There are alternatives to RPi

The alternatives to RPi don't have nearly as rich selection of polished software, vibrant community and ecosystem as Raspberry Pi has. The best parts (besides hacker-orientedness) of RPi are its uniformness and popularity.

Global mortality associated with seasonal influenza epidemics: [1]

World Health Organization (WHO) estimated the annual mortality burden of influenza to be 250 000 to 500 000

To date, 1.2 million people have died from covid [2]. The year isn't finished, and for the first 3 months the spread of covid was only starting.

Currently, around 5k to 7k people die per day from covid, and that number is expected to go up since the daily new cases are increasing (from around 300k per day end of September, to around 450k per day end of October)

Comparing it to an unusually strong flu variant is drastically underplaying the severity.

All of these numbers are despite international lockdowns and efforts to stop the spread. The numbers would be far, far higher if no measures had been taken.

I agree. It would be nice to see a 3D reconstruction of the whole event from above.
In my opinion PHP & Laravel is a great thing to learn right now. Such a productive dev experience.
This is true, but at least in drug development (where I have some experience), no two studies are alike. Even when a drug company runs two phase 3 trials (like they are supposed to in order to secure FDA approval), the design or execution varies enough that if one fails, it doesn't necessarily suggest that the other one is a false positive.
"As a former Linux desktop user who lived through the whole MS antitrust thing, I find it absolutely bizarre that today, I'm much happier with Office 365 on the web, than I was with Google Docs."

Identially the same with me. Damn terrible turn up for the books, isn't it. It just illustrates how messy things have gotten and how we need to bring major change to the internet.

That said, for me Office 365 is a step too far. On Windows I still ocassionally use the 2003 version along with LibreOffice and the latter on all my Linux machines.
Or any meaningful benchmarks that can run on both a C64 and a modern computer.

Unless a vaccine comes along there'll come a point where The West will have resigned itself to be living with the virus.

What will Aus/NZ do then? Pandemic-fatigue is a real thing, both will always be at risk from a nutter not self-isolating properly when they return from abroad.

Everyone's strategy is to wait for a vaccine.
Frankly, this article doesn't seem to bring anything new to the table and seems to just couch the author's pre-conceptions in massively over-arching generalizations about "The West". There have been huge differences in policy, govenrment response and death rate across Europe. But instaed they all get lumped into one and then scolded for attitudes that frankly seem to only describe one particular part of America's atittudes.
you missed the 16/8 eating window. read up.
Slightly OT, but I've wondered about this for a while:

Opponents of lockdowns usually claim that the economic damage will outweigh the humanity gained.

But for me personally, I'm pretty sure that attending 1 funeral per month will damage my productivity much more strongly than work from home, wearing masks while shopping, and ordering delivery instead of going to the restaurant in person.

What am I missing?

Are people in New York so used to seeing dead bodies by now that it doesn't bother them anymore?

That's in terms on service. Google may start enforcing this clause whenever they want.
Please don't do that. It makes me very angry when I'm trying to quickly get some information from a public/shared device and instead of getting logged in, I get a link on my device. (which I need to retype / send / ...) Most likely I don't care about the security of the account that much in that case. But my email login never goes anywhere close a device I don't own.

Don't annoy users. Just let them log in.
"Very old" means different things to different people. If you want to run the sorts of games that used to run on "keyboard plugged into the TV" computers, think Z80, not VR4300.
Get a better debugger. rr (rr-project.org) can record your program and let you run it both backwards and forwards as you investigate the problem. This is incredibly powerful. Suppose you've discovered that a variable in memory has the wrong value. With rr you can set a watchpoint on the memory location and run the program backwards until it stops at the exact point in the code where that value was written to memory. You can use this to trace all incorrect values back to their source.

Pernosco (pernos.co) is an even more powerful debugger. It takes an rr recording and gives you an omniscient view of it. It's difficult to describe how powerful this is, but you should definitely watch the demos on their webpage. I think that this is what all competitive debuggers will be like in 10 years. (Any debugger that doesn't gain these features will simply fall out of use.)
Data collection in Africa is generally poor, so what are policies based on?
It should be illegal. Companies that provide public utility type services should be obliged to follow certain laws, one of them being that they are not allowed to shut people out from their own data. They could provide the service as read-only on alleged breach of terms (allowing the user to migrate) for example.

Shutting them out completely: just no.
While you're at it, always display a vu-meter. It gives feedback on what is transmitted and thus can alert a user whether they are being heard or not. It's the most basic of sound recording tools, and was a standard part of recording equipment for over half a century for good reason.

And if you need minimalism, offer a toggle for that. But I think most people should have it forced on them, would save anyone a lot of trouble -- just think about all the aggregate time lost talking into a muted mike by all users.
No, they're not describing New Zealand. NZ doesn't have a national ID card. Also, they have their own system for SSO to government portals that doesn't use Google.
I’m the author of the post, and I agree with you.

I wrote this not because I was leaving, but because of a change in state of Twitter: they didn’t censor search results before, and now they do.

I thought that was worth a post, not my departure. Nobody except my handful of friends cares about little ol’ me being on Twitter or not.

Hopefully, many more people care about widespread censorship.

If you’re using a censored platform with eyes wide open, that’s also totally fine; I wrote this because I considered myself an expert Twitter user and was myself terribly surprised that they had started censoring search.

I imagine most people that use the site are unaware of it, which is the only reason this post exists.
