Traveling via public transit in a new city, walking, biking? The app will give you directions tailored for your specific mode of travel.

FWIW, there are at least two layers of map that map apps have no clue about that I find essential as a cyclist: how much shade am I going to get while going down a road in a city that routinely has temperatures that are near the top end of what the human body can deal with? And how bad is the road surface in a constantly-sinking swamp city full of potholes and half-assed repairs?

There’s other layers - I don’t need to worry about whether or not I want to trade a longer route for clawing my way up a steep grade now that I don’t live in Seattle, for instance.

Meanwhile, I live in a small town of 4,000 people. Closest “big town” is 5 miles away with 44,000 people. I have 0 options in DoorDash. :(

I hope they use this capital to do more expansion. Grubhub at least provides me with the local VFW.
Going to an event with dozens of other people during covid, especially in the current situation, is like driving on a highway full of walking people. It's not a "it might be dangerous" situation, it's a "it's definitely going to end bad" situation
Something that just occurred to me - has anyone checked registries for owners with email addresses on either expired domains, or now available public domain addresses?

This post explains a lot about why many Americans are incapable to taking basic, rational steps to halt the progression of this disease. If we were more capable of reflection and putting others before ourselves, we wouldn’t have to invoke a bunch of irrelevant boogeyman to justify our shortsightedness.
Because it's literally their job to protect their patients from infection? It's not like we've just recently found out that the elderly are especially vulnerable to Covid-19.

If a website left their admin portal open, didn't set a password and then got hacked, would you put the blame for that on the script kiddie who did it, or on the website's security team?

Being married means my wife's problems are also my problems. We have a legal issue right now due to problems in the justice system. A trooper wrote my wife a citation for having our dog off leash. He cited the wrong statute (among other mistakes) which means we have to go to court and also restricted our freedoms for 6 weeks. I called the trooper and told him he had the wrong statute and that there is a different statute pertaining to reasonable control (because anyone can make a mistake), but he didn't care. When we got to court the first time, the trooper finally amended the charge but lied about the reason in order to cover up his mistakes (violation of civil rights under Brady vs MD since that is concealment of exculpatory evidence). The court wouldn't give us a copy of the updated citation and gave us all sorts of BS excuses for other things, like saying they can't issue a subpeona for documents since they aren't a court of record and when they finally did issue it, they did not have the correct format (subpoena vs subpoena duces tecum). The court also refuses to even respond to our petition to drop the case since the originally cited statute shows as invalid in the court system (because the trooper doesn't even know how to correctly cite a statute), and that because we never got a correctly issued citation this violates our right to due process.

Not only is this case my problem, but this is every tax payer's problem. How wasteful is the system for it to spend all this money on the (incompetent) trooper showing up to court twice, the magistrate's time for two trials dates, the magistrate's (useless) secretaries, the state police resources required to fulfill the subpoena requests, and the potential for a civil suit to be filed against the state. All for a dog being off a leash, which would typically be a $25 fine for the first offense.

An interesting side note is that the original magistrate in the case was arrested for gambling with campaign money, perjury, and a slew of other charges. Needless to say, my already skeptical view of the "justice" system has been shattered by the pure incompetence of every official involved in this case.

What's a virtual dom? Some sort of socially-distanced BDSM scene? What does it have to do with imperative programming and object-oriented languages?
actually I think you'd find that a lot of libertarians oppose DUI and similar things being criminal offenses. driving drunk exposes other people to unnecessary risk, but each instance of drunk driving does not necessarily harm someone. often libertarians prefer for such things to be handled via liability and private insurance.
Consider the distribution of places you spend your time during peak shelter in place. It was probably mostly at home. Your bedroom, the kitchen, the bathroom, and occasionally going out to the store.

Take the math out of it for a second. I’m not nearly smart enough to predict which room you’ll be in during a specific minute of a specific day. Predicting that you’re going to be hungry at exactly 12:42 and you’ll go to the store this Sunday at 9:21 is well beyond me.

But I could be much more accurate if I abstract it a bit to a few important properties. During shelter in place, you probably spend 25-35% of the time asleep, maybe 0.1-0.5% at the store (once every 1-3 weeks maybe), etc. I can even confidently predict that as shelter in place relaxes, you’ll likely go out more often, but probably still very rarely to the grocery store more than twice per week.

Your precise movements are impossible to accurately predict more than a few moments out, but their distribution from one day to the next during shelter in place is pretty stable. On a longer timescale, that distribution will shift once shelter in place lifts, and it’s even reasonable to predict how it’ll change.

Another timely analogy might be modeling specifically who has COVID-19 at a point in time versus modeling the distribution. The percent of people in a place who have it is the distribution in question here: the probability that any given person there has it is a simple distribution over true or false. There’s no question of stability over time here because it’s a distribution over people instead of time. You can model how that spreads over time and location so much more easily than predicting the specific individuals who will get it and transmit it.

According to what I saw and interpreted, it was mostly right influence attempting to escalate the situation to "hurt the left".

Saying "fake spin" is not going to convince me otherwise. I'd prefer statistics though.

The flu kills tens of thousands of people a year - disproportionately many of whom are young, unlike SARS-CoV2 - and is a transmissible disease.

Driving kills hundreds of thousands of innocent people a year.

Where is the line when it’s OK to control peoples lives because you are afraid?

This is how authoritarianism starts.
While getting it directly might be cheaper, it is necessary to realize what those $100 extra value add is getting you: someone did their work and did the integration necessary to run Linux seamlessly.

You see HN threads full of complaining that there is always something to "fix" when running Linux. Your $100 goes towards not having to "fix" anything and working correctly OOTB.
Yes, but what matters most is not how my beliefs appear to the other side, but whose beliefs are closest to the truth. I have little control over what other people believe, but I have some control over what I believe, and I strive to be rational and realistic and follow the truth.
If you’re a contractor you need to be in business for yourself. It’s not a job. Otherwise you’re just taking short term extra money for higher downside risk.

Many people feel there is no difference, but contractors always get culled first. Ive run big organizations — you always purge 80% of contractors when bad times hit. Personally, I would wait until things bottomed out unless you can absorb risk.
Help me understand. Is the distinction here that since they are independent contractors they aren't guaranteed to make a minimum threshold of pay, regardless of tip amount?
You could argue that bike delivery can be more dangerous than delivering by car. It's also hard to get visibility into how difficult it was for your dasher/delivery-person to actually acquire your order. Was the parking situation a mess? Was there a long line? Finally, there's the matter of delivering to your doorstep vs. delivering somewhere outside (an apartment building) where you need to still need to walk a block or two to get your food.
You don't need any of that to understand how x86 or the OS works. Realistically you can do the entire learning with QEMU/VM and not be restricted by the hardware at all?

At some institutions they teach how OS work by students implementing Pintos, a full x86 OS.

In my first year I had to build a full raspberry pi emulator from scratch and then code an assembler for it. These programs would then run natively on the raspberry pi. People wouldn't even touch the hardware until much, much later into the project when the emulator has confirmed to be working.

I disagree with the view that you need a full FOSS hardware to understand a platform. You can do a lot with a VM/QEMU.

ULTIMATELY the options come down to either we accept citizen's personal choice will guiding individual action, or we accept that said action will be compelled through government use of lethal force.
This reads as the equivalent of an ad hominem argument - why not address your concerns with the merits of what was said, rather than just dismiss it as propaganda?
Please consider other plans. Next year you can get together with everyone at once, but in order to do that everyone needs to survive this year, and that's not guaranteed. Do your part to reduce infection–don't mingle households for spreader events!
OTOH, telling an entire industry to reorganize to accommodate your internal processes is also a fools errand. Just imagine the dilemma this puts on the growth team: "Hmm, spend 1000x effort to land this one customer or fix an obscure bug in the signup page and get an extra 1000 self-serve customers this month. Golly, I don't know..."
The US president (or other authorities) can't just make new laws out of thin air, that whole democracy thing gets in the way. Short of rolling tanks down the streets of cities and towns everywhere you're not going to be able to enforce much. Even then, with tanks on the streets you have a very very bad situation on your hands. People in the US don't like having liberties taken away without due process and representation. And by "don't like" i mean will fight to the death over it.

Edit: also the federal government can't just "demand" things of the states. That whole republic thing gets in the way there.
Why not double down? Go on - a few more clicks and you won't even see be reminded anymore of what everyone has seen over the summer in many US cities. And it worked!
That’s very weird and unfortunate since poorer countries have a much more desperate need for inexpensive computers. Any idea of the rationale?
No - it's people like you.

Humans are more than a statistic - and you putting high-risk in scare-marks and asking if politicians asking us to wear a fucking mask and social distance are the problem is exactly the kind of selfish thinking that made this pandemic so bad.

Some in this thread seem to think we need to let people die. High risk includes kids. It includes software-engineers who are in their 20s. It isn't just letting old people die.

Is our society this dumb, this selfish, this callous?
Amazing the risk management decision some people will make in exchange for their personal freedom right now in this country.
Stopping people from spreading a deadly disease doesn't make us North Korea. Not every slope is slippery. We can move further along a spectrum without being guaranteed to fall off a cliff.

I don't have the personal freedom to get drunk and drive my car down the highway because that puts the lives of everyone on the road in jeopardy. Spreading disease is the same thing. Your personal freedoms end when they start invading my personal freedom to continue living.

Al Gore disputed the outcome of a single state where he lost by a few hundred votes. He did not dispute the outcome of the entire electoral process or make baseless claims that it was rigged for months leading up to and after the election.
Mostly the instruction set architecture. In the early 80's when Acorn Risc Machines developed ARM, it was part of a then-newer "Reduced Instruction Set Architecture" school of thought that had the following goals:

- make instructions and CPUs simpler for the CPU and not human beings, since most assembly is created by compilers and not humans.
- use a "load-store" paradigm that preferred registers over slower RAM for intermediate uses,
- use the chip space saved by simpler CPU instructions for more registers to support #2 above.

x86 traces its lineage to the early 8080 CPU developed in the 70's. This is when RAM was as fast or slower than the CPU, when 4k of RAM was $2000, and hand-assembly was more common. So it made sense to optimize for the most action out of each instruction and rely on memory for intermediate uses.

The RISC/CISC "war" was before the early-to-mid 90's brought multi-core CPUs, large CPU caches, SIMD instructions, and numerous things CPUs do to the instruction stream like branch prediction, register renaming, out-of-order execution and etc. that are common now. So it doesn't matter so much anymore.

SIMD in particular is something like the RISC paradigm on steroids - load large, wide register files with values and do operations on them all with a few instructions.

ARM's simplicity, along with the fact ARM licensed its designs out to other silicon designers/integrators, now translates into lower power usage/heat output and ease of integration into system-on-a-chip designs. Hence why it's super common in phones.
IIRC the nuclear winter would not be as bad as once predicted, you could see a 10 celsius drop. That would still be enough to greatly reduce crop yields though.

If you couple reduced crop yields with millions of hungry refugees, economic instability and general chaos... Who knows. Unlikely to result in human extinction, but very painful for everyone no doubt. I do think it seems unlikely that people would nuke Australia and South America. I honestly hope that if nukes are ever fired, as many countries as possible remain untouched.
Only some of it, if i remember correctly. The classic business-oriented Thinkpad lines actually did not move to Lenovo factories for years after the acquisition closed, since Lenovo wanted to get right the knowledge-transfer and to avoid spooking customers. Indeed, the first lines of full-Lenovo laptops felt cheap and were widely panned, it took a while for them to match the classic Thinkpad reputation.
> the police knew who the murderer was.

This is not how the justice system works in America, just so you know. The system you describe is horrifying.
Have a feeling this is a correlation and not direct causation. You have to eat less / better to lose the weight. That helps with your insulin resistance.
That may indeed be the intention. IANAL but I wouldn't trust the broadly worded "providing any product that competes with the software or any product the licensor or any of its affiliates provides using the software" to mean that and only that.

Here's a list of the PolyForm licences[0] with the 'PolyForm Shield' one being used. I would have expected the 'PolyForm Perimeter' to be more of the open-source type license, based just on those summaries than one that protects the 'provider' from competition.

Sometimes because they don't get sick pay (or it is reduced putting them in a [more] difficult financial position) or because for some disgusting reason people think they are "strong" and "hard working" for going into work when they are sick.

I've worked with people who were proud of coming into work with a hacking cough and temperature. They would take their temperature at their desk and announce it as if they were doing something amazing.

Even worse is when I've worked for managers who during your review compare you to those people saying things like you should make more effort to reduce your time off sick (even if under the average yearly sick days) or make more effort to come in when you're just feeling a "bit under the weather".

It is a terrible attitude but it is extremely common the world over sadly.
Yes but afaik most arm softwares target arm7, not aarch64.
This is why speed limits are prudent.

This is why masks and gathering limits are prudent.
Yes, I definitely wish they would add this back permanently and also let me choose the tip rather than the small fixed tip they had before.

But then again, maybe this would create an incentive for delivery services to raise costs for restaurants?
Everything going forward as usual. We will be having a few of my siblings and their families over. Some of us have already had Covid others haven't. There is a known risk but one we would gladly take to be together.
Not that I can remember coming across. Most of the desktop clients are pretty smart and prevent large data loads from causing hangups.

It's also worth noting that this tool shows the risk of at least one other person in attendance having covid before going, not the risk of contracting covid at the event.

I recall a scant four years ago when many on the left were suggesting that the electors be faithless electors to get Clinton in office. After all, she won the popular vote, right?

"What am I supposed to think about the intent of the other side when they're trying to get a legitimate election result overturned to support their preferred presidential candidate" indeed?
Your choices and decisions are what threatens your life. If you don't want to be exposed to Covid, don't leave your home. I don't see why others shouldn't walk around / party, if they're themselves willing to take on the risk of infection.
First of all, your extra-low IFR is trying to draw a false equivalency between COVID-19 and less-fatal diseases like the flu. It is more like 0.5%-1% (if not more), and the IFR once you hit 65+ is 1.5% and rises quickly.

So when a pandemic is hitting us and our collective personal responsibility is failing, our only choice is to roll over and get sick?

There are plenty of options to feed those who are going hungry due to COVID, but you should look at who is throwing up roadblocks to assistance.
How can we live good if there exists a significant amount of people rejecting seatbelts?

We need to face the reality that on average people make bad choices which leads to substantial negative outcomes for any group. In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic again confirms empirically that humans on average don’t have self-responsibility.

How can philosophical ideas that are founded on principles such as “humans have self-responsibility” then still deem credibility for any larger group of people?

Why do we need laws that mandate seatbelts? Won’t people wear them by themselves? And if not, what does that mean to the whole house of cards of Liberalism?
No, it demonstrates overwhelming information asymmetry from what the general population is learning from mainstream media vs what the actual stats are. If you look at the actual CDC [1] COVID death count numbers, it is not much more than the annual flu death count. I don't fault the general public for this, it's the media trying to instill unnecessary fear among people.

Omg, I can’t up vote this enough. I have been telling principal/director-level engineers this for almost a decade. We shouldn’t be making hiring bar so high that it requires a PhD but rather hire on aptitude and hunger for knowledge and feed them. So much of being a senior+ in tech is knowledge sharing which we don’t do enough of. I’m guilty of this too! I value my personal time and don’t want to spent it building training materials.

The whole “playing” with system level software is how I became an engineer in the first place!

It’s also extremely apparent when you suggest a new way of doing things and older folks look at you like you’re crazy or worse, actively block because “we’ve always done it this way”. Those youngsters in those tiny screens have big ideas, from a different perspective, and we should acknowledge that and learn what they know.

Back to topic, I think the maturity of software engineering has enabled a lot of what we see today due to the macro cash grab of capitalism. There are things that stand firm beyond it, but 80%> of software written is logical duplication of software already written (for another company perhaps).

I’m guessing on the percent but it’s important to know that global overall LOC is really just hashing out the same stuff we’ve been doing (albeit in maybe a slightly more novel way) to get business value.

20%< is moving that stick forward.
