Most scoundrels throughout the history you invoke, clung tightly to their Christian identity. The millions of peasants subject to the predations of the Church over scores of generations didn't praise the Lord for their good fortunes. That Hitler wasn't particularly Christian himself, probably was because Christianity was already a tarnished brand in early 20c central Europe.
I think polorization is being seen by and large in alot of countries now, think of the "strong man/Nationalistic" leaders popping up in many countries the past few years, (Trump - US, Bolsonaro - Brazil, Johnson - UK, Duterte - Philippines, etc) and the intense opposition against them. Couple that with disinformation seen on facebook etc, and peoples desire to consume media that reaffirms their beliefs I expect a good portion of the populace to tune out media as it is mostly centrist/center left, and look for right wing or left wing news. Couple that with excessive cord cutting and decreased returns from online ads I see a very large contraction in most media companies.

People confuse explanations with excuses. It's okay to provide an explanation as long as you're not excusing the thing you did was wrong. For example:

"I apologize for shouting at you. I was short on sleep and frustrated about something else. I was wrong to take out my frustration on you."

vs:

"I apologize for shouting at you but I was tired and frustrated."

An explanation can make the apology stronger because it demonstrates that you realize what it is you're apologizing for.

Is anyone in the U.S. using thermal cameras to spot individuals with a fever? I live in a smaller city, not really close to a big metropolitan area, but I haven't seen a thermal camera in use yet. I see they are available on Amazon, so it doesn't seem like it is an issue of availability. Are these being used by businesses in other areas of the U.S.? Seems like it would be a no-brainer to use these to non-invasivly screen patrons.

An alternative which has shown substantial empirical success is clinical treatment with a qualified psychotherapist experienced in the treatment of depression through the application of clinical treatment in a clinical setting. Such treatment may or may not involve the use of pharmaceutical and/or alternative medicines and/or medical and alternative treatments.

Incidentally, this is the context from which the study draws validity and makes rational sense to conduct. Without the clinical context depression is not a medical diagnosis.
Some of the most impressive, most complex Excel apps I've seen were 1000% not built from quants out of engineering schools. That's the beauty of Excel - but _managing_ these apps is the nightmare of my specific profession :)

I'd say two things would make it better:
- Have a "code" version of the cell editor that has formatting/indentation + basic linting. [Sometimes 75% of the challenge is reading the code in linear fashion and figuring out what it does]

- Integrate git-like versioning and some sharing features with Office365. Basically, make it so that you can roll-forward or roll-back on both the code and the contents, and make it so that you are _not_ emailing files around to share them.
Your first statement assumes that linear programming solvers can be massively parallelized. Can they?

People are very resistant to the idea that something they enjoy could be bad for them. Instead, they tend to rationalize their own use as good while looking for ways to conclude that others' use is bad.

The same thing happens with social media. It's fascinating to watch people bash social media on their chosen social media platform, under the assumption that social media is some other website that they don't use. That's why Reddit and Twitter full of people bragging they've deleted Facebook, for example. It's also interesting to watch the mental gymnastics people use to claim that the Hacker News comment section is somehow not social media for vague reasons (pseudonymous, moderated, technical niche, not mainstream enough) while ignoring the fact that we're all here posting content and up/downvoting it like the other social media platforms.

> Even if a small number of security related technologies have a smaller deprecation window, the others have very long ones.

It uses mechanism that was introduced in Mojave, so that deprecation window was very fast. Definitely faster than Cairo, which has already more than decade and half under it's belt.

There are alternatives to Cairo, but not drop-in ones; they would require porting (Skia, for example). Other than that, Cairo is basically "done". Yeah, there is occasional need for release with small fixes, but as a software-based rendering library it is not going anywhere.

> A common theme in technological optimists seems to be a total dismissal of global warming.

It seems like the biggest impact a person has on the world is the way they treat people, especially people they don't agree with.

There seem to be three primary options regarding climate change:

1) change your lifestyle

2) make someone else change theirs

3) make better technology

Option two seems to be the default based on average home sizes, commercial flights, food waste from dining out, and iPhone sales.

Technology optimists choose option three.

The outliers choose option one.

Ask HN: How can you use a Mac and support open-source?
Recent enlightenment:

I'm a bit put off by the recent Apple event and their stance in the past few years to make it impossible for Mac users to change any hardware. There have been a number of other recent events with app developers brought to light, like the exorbitant fees and kicking major companies off the app store.

We, as the collective developers and software engineers, are the main supporters of open-source, why do we continue to support and use Apple?

So I ask HN, to ask ourselves:
Why are we all fiercely supporting open-source when building on Apple?

Apple, who is know for their proprietary, closed source, closed hardware, walled garden app store, dongle crafting - charger not even included company.

Apple is no longer open-source friendly. It's no longer a company I want to support.
Hey, I'm the PM at Cloudflare for WebSockets on Workers. Support is still in beta, so we're still working through the timeout details here.

With the Workers Bundled plan (https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/platform/pricing#b...), your WebSocket connection will stay open until your 50ms of CPU time expires. On Unbound (https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-workers-unbound/), which does not have a CPU time limit, your WebSocket connection will stay alive as long as it remains active and your Worker doesn't exceed its memory limits. If the connection goes idle, it may be terminated. We're currently considering an idle timeout on the order of 1-10 minutes.
> Contrary to what most people I know think, I think Xi Jinping and company are really scared.

Contrary to what most people think, I think Xi Jinping and company are really scared, but not for the reason you mention.

Xi is said to be very afraid of Shanghai clique, and this is the reason they are still around, and not crushed like everybody else.

Who owns Ant? Speculations are that a number of people from the Shanghai clique are, with the biggest one being public knowledge: grandson of Jiang Zemin got Ant's shares for noticeably less than market price.

I believe, this explains why this case was handled remarkably tactfully, and why Ma still walks in one piece. Anybody else would've been disappeared the same day for much less in today's China.

>authoritarianism is bad for economic growth because of the ever-present potential for capricious action such as this

so are severe financial crises that threaten the political stability of the country in question. Preventing private businesses from doing X or Y is only 'bad for economic growth' in a trivial, first-order sense. The more important question is if whatever measure was taken contributes to the long term health of the system.

The CCP is, rightfully, very afraid of reckless lending or highly leveraged financial transactions because the country lacks a solid infrastructure to cope with a financial meltdown, which has always been an issue because the private financial sector is such a mess.
I will concede that it takes a (small, IMO) logical leap from "diametrically opposed to everything we stand for" to enemy. I think that's a semantic and uninteresting point, though.
And now Steve Bannon is back on YouTube, though the live stream where these expressions were emitted was removed.

Shaming platform owners for not completely deplatforming pages and individuals who may proffer expressions found to be uncomfortable, may not always be effective in the long run.

Well, per Herbert's quote, I think the attractiveness of power is directly and inversely proportional to how corrupt(ible) a person is. The best leaders are the servant ones, who see leadership as a burden to bear, and to assume only begrudgingly as need thrusts it upon them. Those who look to it for the ability to change the world, even with the best intentions, are imminently corruptible; they're already approaching it with the idea that they know best, and others who disagree are wrong and need to be kept subservient.

WebSockets are a feature of Durable Objects.

Workers handle WebSockets in a pretty straightforward way. The server-side API is literally the same WebSocket JavaScript API as in browsers. sock.addEventListener("message", callback), etc.

But if you aren't using Durable Objects, then WebSockets on Workers aren't particularly useful, because there's no way to contact the specific Worker instance that is handling a particular client's WebSocket session, in order to send a message down.

Durable Objects fixes exactly that. Now you can have worker instances that are named, so you can call back to them.

Here's a complete demo that uses WebSockets to implement chat: https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-chat-demo/blob/main/ch...

> Are they automatically terminated after the worker spends too much time active?

We're still tweaking timeouts and limits, but in general you should be able to keep a WebSocket alive long-term, and reconnect any time it drops (which any WebSocket application has to do anyway, the internet being unreliable).

> If so, doesn’t handling the WS handshake have a lot more overhead than a fetch call?

Not sure what you mean here. A WS handshake in itself isn't terribly expensive. I suppose a typical application will have to establish some state after the socket opens, and that could be expensive, but it depends on the app.
Regarding the state of computing - there are so many cheap critiques but so little construction.

For years now, cutting edge OS research has just been reimplementing unix with $new_security_feature.

So many lines of code are written but so little changes in terms of what we are supposed to expect out of our computers, and if it ever does, it's always in the direction of walled garden phone-ification of the personal computer. It feels like our CPUs and RAM have grown, but our ambition has atrophied.

What we need is a new synthesis.

A personal computing platform that picks up in 2020 from where the lisp machines left off in the 80's. Something built from scratch to be interactive, dynamic, and hackable.

It will never actually happen, for "worse is better" reasons, of course. But it's nice to dream about.

If anyone out there is working on something like this, even on a conceptual level, I would love to hear your thoughts :)

There will always be people who disagree with you, and who will continue to make public attacks on you. They're not the ones you are apologizing to, or for. Pretending you did not make an error will eventually catch up to you, in the opinions of those who would view an apology to your credit and in the fact that it leads to you making more mistakes and not correcting them.

I think, only the enterprise customers can truly claim benefit of all 200 PoPs. Free/Pro/Business(?) plans aren't necessarily routed to all 200. If that's not the case, then it doesn't match our interaction with Cloudflare's support.
