Well. Then.

I'll save myself some time and just skip to The Correct Answer:

Made-to-order is the next growth opportunity. (Fast fashion has been played out.)

I'd watch someone like StitchFix or Trunk Club. They'll shorten the supply chain somehow (partnership, M&A, investment). Start offering made to order on select items. Strategically.

They'll need to do better measurements. Add MTailor features or equivalent.

Some are doing pop-ups, concierge. I'm now bearish on that approach. Mostly because of coronavirus. But I just can't think of any of the current players getting that kind of smart. I'll be delighted if someone proves me wrong.

I tuned out about 18mo ago. So haven't kept up. I'm told there's an MTailor like thing for sizing glasses.

I still don't have a clue how someone can do remote shoe sizing. Right now, everything's inferred from returns. But that's like diagnosing TBIs using phrenology.

I'm sure Amazon will continue to try any thing and everything. I haven't looked at their latest fashion effort. Mostly because whatever they do is a non-starter. Authenticity is table stakes for fashion, fast fashion, and therefore made to order. They'll certainly steal other people's lunch money, but are otherwise constitutionally incapable of anything new. Further, Amazon is entirely wholly hostile to authenticity. For them to pivot towards would invalidate their raison d'être. It could happen. I'm just betting against.

"...when applied to ~$200 items?"

You crack me up.

I'm still amazed that someone wrote a TECO macro for TECO (a line editor from the 1970's) that turned it into a screen editor. I used that macro for many years.
Why do I get a bad feeling about Microsoft’s open source effort? And it is just getting stronger by the years.
I love vim for quickly looking at files, but when it comes to working in a large codebase, I like to have a lot of information visible at once, such as having a Find panel with results, multiple files open in multiple panes, a file list, list of currently changed files, etc.

Oh, and I use proportional fonts so VIM is out.
"Man who died in motorcycle crash counted as COVID-19 death in Florida: Report." I recall one similar in the UK. Meanwhile, in that area ... "Nearly one in 10 'virus deaths' was from other causes" according to the Telegraph.

We have multiple standards for each country (if not smaller governmental units) and the standards have changed, the testing has changed, etc. Statisticians will be decades puzzling it all out.

It's really only excess mortality we can count on right now.
To me the biggest power of Vim is modal editing which you can now get emulated to varying degrees of completeness in your favorite editor. Whether or not a command line editor is your bag, learning modal editing and Vim keystrokes can be a huge productivity improvement and applicable to a large number of different editing environments.
It will; it's based on the A14 chip which adds EL2 support.

I agree that it is a good thing to publish results, even when they are underwhelming or unsurprising.
The main thing that DID surprise me in this study, was that the control group did so much exercise. The effect seen was likely small because it was compared to a control group that did nearly as much exercise as the MICT and HICT groups.
If they repeated this study in the U.S. instead of Norway, I think they would find a bigger effect.
Hm, no bueno. And sorry about that. I'd love to see that thread if you could forward it to me at edwin@stripe.com.
Apple has virtually unlimited money, so fees are irrelevant.
"Somehow". That's exactly what you have to do. Build multi-arch containers with docker buildx.
> excess mortality for all causes more or less matches Covid deaths, so the numbers are roughly correct.

This doesn't follow. It just means that the number of falsely-claimed Covid deaths is roughly equal to the number of deaths caused by the lockdowns, not that either of those numbers are small.
Still, going at 90% of your maximum heart rate repeatedly for two-three minute intervals is really hard work, at any age and shape.

And as others pointed out, the baseline group here is probably a force of nature unto themselves. 75-year old Norwegians were born into a poor country just starting to recover from war and occupation, where most people were farmers or fishermen. It was not until these people had been working adults for 10 years that Norway discovered oil and began its rapid economic growth, by that time these people were used to hard work.

Then you take that generation, and select the toughest portion out of those who say they are interested in participating in a scientific study on exercise, so a two stage selection of fit people.

Basically the baseline here consists of people who think hiking in the mountain for several hours is great fun, and that it's been a bad week if they have not done so twice.
How is Basque "politically controversial"? It is an official language in the Basque Autonomous Community of Spain. Turkish is also a minority language in Greece. It doesn't have official status, but they have their own government mandated Turkish-language schools.
That was the mind-boggling part to me. After testing failover and noticing the behavior we had a number of discussions with AWS reps and support engineers that confirmed it. And Aurora's failover documentation hints at it but downplays the severity.
You might be able to use something like a MIMOLite or Z-Uno to read a sensor and transmit it via Z Wave.
I'm arguing that the comparison with AIDS that someone else made is an inaccurate one, since AIDS can shorten the life of someone that was healthy before they got it. Nobody in a hospice is healthy, and a large part of the ones that died with or by covid would have died within 30 days anyway.
>Congrats to him for finding something fun to do in retirement - dictators usually end up with a different outcome. ;)

I guess he is going for a Diocletian cabbage farmer style retirement.
one thing i love about using Vim, may only apply to using it in a text based terminal, is that the input cursor is not the text select cursor. This may also apply to emacs. Useful in many instances to select text from one portion of a document file for copy, and to paste into another, without losing the insertion point.

It's kind of really bad because it doesn't get to use Rosetta's kernel support for enabling strict memory ordering.
I wasn't using Google for anything significant so it was pretty easy to delete it. If I care about a picture I'll print it and keep it in a book, I would never trust a corp that's only been in the data business for 10-15 years, especially one known for stealing your information for advertiser's gain.
virtualenv always feels like a hack to me. Too many times I’ve forgotten to activate the virtualenv halfway through a project and now I’m troubleshooting all the problems I just caused with some packages installed in the virtualenv and some globally and oh half of them aren’t in my packages.txt so now I can’t remember which package I needed for this...

I don’t expect my dev tools to be idiot proof, but they should at least try to be “I’ve been hacking for 18 hours straight and I just need to commit this last line and I can finally go to bed” proof.
> In America there are over 200k excess deaths; if not COVID, then why did so many more people die?

I predict that a few months later, a popular answer will be "they were actually killed by the vaccine".

Which would make it NOT a swastika?

Unintentional swastika are somewhat bad, but unintentional swastika among a bunch of other auto-generated forms aren't a crime I hope.
You know, I waffle on this. I don't think Apple is big enough in computing (as opposed to mobile) to be such a scary monolithic force.

I've been off Apple laptops for a few years, but I might go back soon. The new M1 is basically in the direction that I think computing should have gone a decade ago (RISC, increased integration into processor package, heterogeneous processing). Intel didn't succeed in taking us to such a great place, so I'm hoping Apple pushes things along.

And, of course, AMD silicon is flourishing too, which is nice.

Apple's been a far better steward of the internet and of computing than Intel had been-- perhaps mostly because of Apple's limited market share here.
The jailbreak jokes will be great with that one.
As a Googler, that statement is just wrong. They were looking for a fun story and somehow got just the right quote to make one.

Code committed to the internal repo requires a review from someone certified familiar with that language's internal style guide.

He was hired to work on Go, not C, and just didn't get around to writing enough C to bother getting that certification. He can write C whenever he wants to, just like literally every other engineer, he would just get a style guide review at review time.
Those shapes are a bit complex for logos, but it's still very cool.

Generative logo systems or shape generators that can make distinct but still similar enough shapes can be a great choice for large open source projects, where the community would usually come up with their own (often crappy) logos and branding for libraries.

Having a project scoped system like that where developers can pick from would make such projects appear much more cohesive overall.
Is the inability to run emulation & virtualization limitation of the silicon itself? I.e., will it ever be possible an these chips?
You wound me greatly, but yes, evil users are cool too. I mean, I first learned vim keybindings from Kile.

(People keep telling me I'd love emacs, and I have nothing against it, I just happened to learn vim first.)
This is one of the motivating forces behind nvim. While nvim supports vim script, it provides Lua as its preferred language for extension. In addition, the internal APIs are documented and are intended to be accessible from any language via RPC.

I'm still on Mojave and it's okay honestly. It does everything I need my OS to do. I see no benefit in upgrading to Catalina, especially with it not supporting 32-bit apps and introducing new annoyances under the guise of "security", and Big Sur doesn't (officially) run on my computer at all.
Ah, shucks. I never managed to find a conclusive "acknowledgment" of my issue, so once Safari 14 rolled around, I only checked whether I can make my issue reoccur and shrugged it off as resolved. Guess I was wrong, because your description feels eerily familiar. Maybe we're using it too fast.

Agreed about the user experience. Really unpleasant to work around some indiscernible and apparently unfixable problems. I feel like in a "death by a thousand papercuts" scenario with Apple software, but I suppose that is a topic unto itself.

With Firefox I sometimes notice oddities with how fonts are rendered, and it generally feels "less native", but at least I don't run into miscellaneous issues like that anymore.

I've learned the hard way not to jump on new macOS versions. I've found it's safer to wait at least 6 months, if not one year.

Thank god I don't use Xcode or do iOS/Mac dev anymore.
Vim and vi before it are like QWERTY keyboards: ubiquitous and productive once you memorize a 30 or so commands. I use IDEs for editing languages like Java that have a lot of dependencies but vim works for just about everything else. I don't see a compelling reason to change.
I was talking about the policies, not the organization.

Well - that's not really surprising to me.

After all, this is what employers care about and are filtering on:

> The research also indicates that the relationship between interest fit and job performance is more critical than the link to satisfaction.
They did observe lower all-cause mortality, just like they said themselves in their conclusion. They observed that, but were not able to safely conclude a causal relationship.

In particular, in the case of HIIT vs MICT they were within a percent or two of that 95% confidence. It is clear that further investigation is necessary, as it is quite a bit more likely than not that a causal relationship will be determined.

It is a good practice for scientists to not draw firm conclusions, nor for policy makers to adjust policy, for results that fail to meet that level of statistical significance. However, trying to shut down discussion and interpretation on that basis is neither helpful, nor productive.
What is the difference between the M1 Air and the M1 Pro 13"? From what I can tell, they are basically the same spec except for small differences like slightly bigger battery life, active cooling and touchbar in the Pro.

Is that worth $300, for a larger form factor?
Every MacOS upgrade for the last few years has made my computer less stable and required me to reboot more often. So I'm going to hold off as long as I can.

Just this moment my laptop's keyboard and mouse took well over a minute to work after coming back from sleep. Twice in a row so time to reboot I guess.
are you saying edge on macos is better than chrome on macos? curious about how this is even possible, considering google has been at this (meaning - developing chrome for macos) for more than a decade (i think)
The APIs are somewhat different, so it won't "just work", but it shouldn't be too hard to make it happen.

They did also used to actually make ARM processors. Originally they acquired StrongARM from Digital, and then went on to replace the brand with their own XScale, and found some pretty good success in embedded systems and were at one point near-universal in PDAs and high-end mobiles (a huge customer at the time was RIM who put them in all of their Blackberries at one point). They sold that off though and it fell behind, but they actually still hold DEC's ARM license.

So they did have some prior experience in that space, but that experience was built on the shoulders of what Digital was doing.
I'm a swede. From what I understand, they didn't want to have a general rule but local ones instead (which are now in place in certain locations instead). Basically, they thought that they had to loosen it up (and could do so without significant issues - they probably decided right before it went up again) since so many people hadn't been able to see their dearest in so long (a lot of these people are also in the very end of life, so time is even more valuable).

I honestly doubt it has anything to do with what's happening right now. I honestly think this is more a consequence of it going bad in Europe again (many other EU countries started to see a big increase before Sweden this time around).

Some of the reasoning seems to go "if there's enough viruses going around at large in society it will enter our nursing homes anyway", so maybe it actually doesn't really matter that much? I guess nobody really knows. Lots of guessing going around these days...
If this is what our decision-makers believe, then why isn't there a lockdown every winter to stop flu deaths?
I agree misunderstand each other.

What are "all those things" that "are already standard"? And why should a rando government or other site requiring an API mean it should be available to all websites everywhere?

Note, I didn't even mention javascript nor disabling it altogether, and I don't wish to imply we shouldn't secure any and all APIs/features.

I'm saying
(1) we will never secure all APIs/features;
(2) they are ever growing so it would be futile even if we could secure the present ones;
(3) even if all the APIs are "secure", they will be misused against users, so they should not be available by default like they currently are;
(4) yes, I do think static/simple sites should be usable without JS.

Welcome to the pandemlympics, where every country is comparable down to the day and everyone is a combined epidemiologist and statistician.

Yes Sweden has a second wave, although still in an earlier stage than most other places. Hopefully it can be turned around before ICU numbers start rising again. New recommendations went in place two weeks ago and personally I see less people around, and the mobility data is trending down. [0]

Restrictions on serving alcohol in pubs and clubs will start from the 20th, limiting service to before 22:00. I feel that is mostly for show though, since if it truly had a point it would start today and not after people spent one last weekend partying.

The spread is mostly in the age group 20-29 currently, so that is a plus. Although trickles of spread in hospice are coming back, which is worrying. They started to allow some visitors a month or so back because the mental health of elderly were deteriorating quite rapidly due to the forced isolation for their own safety.

We can see from the Swedish public health authority page that new ICU admittances have leveled off. Hopefully. [1] "Nya intensivvårdade fall per dag" (New ICU cases per day)

For those proposing no actions and using Sweden as their argument:

Sweden did things. Not French style military police on the streets with fines though. Here's the mobility data. [0]

For those proposing sweeping lock-downs and using Sweden as their argument:

Sweden did lockdown less than many other places, that is true. The constitution does not allow for restrictions in freedom of movement unless in war so recommendations were used. Here's the mobility data. [0]

I can't believe that people are still parroting the "common flu, common cold" talking points from 6-8 months ago. Covid has a much higher mortality rate.

> including death with covid not just due to covid

That's true for any of the other diseases you care to look at, so it's irrelevant when comparing diseases.

> I'm not saying its not worth to do something about it but if your answer of 'to do something about it' is by lockdown then I can't support it.

If we had had proper early lockdowns, we wouldn't even have known how bad this disease is (just look at Vietnam, with 100 million people in a tiny country and a grand total of 37 deaths so far this year). Since no other measures are shown to work, especially with all of the cretins not wearing masks, I'm not sure how else we could prevent this number from doubling or tripling, as hospitals get overwhelmed and fatigued.
I can confirm point 4.

I have a small, open-source Chrome/Firefox extension that has about 260 active users.

Funny that searchyc.com was so necessary for so long, coming in at #54 and #68 (it seems it should be higher as these should be combined). Now it just redirects to a spam/ad website, but before HN had a search bar it was very useful.

Also interesting that it contains at #55: https://news.ycombinator.com/best

But not the ostensibly more useful: https://news.ycombinator.com/active

The url "u.ly/73I" #63 is very interesting, its not seen almost anywhere else on the web (at least on Google), and is apparently spam, now, and when you click on mentions for that matter you get:

> We found no comments matching u.ly/73I

What's the deal with that one? Was it spam comments that all got removed? It may be since some of the others were spam, like this one: https://goo.gl/l5v0b

It's impressive how little spam spam (as opposed to submarines, this is where I link to PGs essay) is on HN.
Still wack. If my iPhone or iPad is between my mouse+keyboard and my 2019 mbp, Bluetooth shot to hell. Moving devices even a foot away helps dramatically though I still have to turn my mouse on and off every time I return from sleep. Happens with Logitech Mx, Matias keyboard, keychron mechanical keyboard. Maddening.
Because that's not virtualization, it's emulation. And running code your processor isn't designed for is slow.

When I lost my grandparents in their late 80s, my family reflected mostly on what a long, happy life they had.

When I lost my sister-in-law due to an unknown brain tumor at 28, it was a catastrophic event from which her entirely family has never recovered.

To say that these deaths are equivalent doesn’t seem right to me, even though I agree we should do everything we can to preserve healthy lifespan for everyone, young and old.
The counter argument is that Apple has structured the deal so that you can't avoid the store. Additionally if you're in the store, Apple forbids you from advertising cheaper alternatives to in-app purchases.

So basically if you want to sell on Apple, you must give Apple a 30% of all sales on the platform AND you're not allowed to tell users they can purchase your wares via alternatives.
