After a first app failure (stopcovid19), France uses the ROBERT protocol in its second app TousAntiCOVID (which is just a rebrand+slight pivot into focused news); apparently the protocol is joint-developed between Fraunhofer (Germany) and INRIA (France).

The irony is that Germany uses iOS contact tracing, so as I live near the border I miss detection of a high vector.

Scratch that, I -would miss-, it I used the app, which I don’t because it has to be opened, manually toggled on, and stay in the foreground to do any contact tracing.

Even if it were not for the battery use, the power of defaults means that the app is rarely activated by people, (when it’s installed at all since it’s not listed in the initial iOS alert you get and pick France).

Desperate posters “here I activate TousAntiCOVID” are being placated in shopping malls and stuff.

It’s ridiculous.

If there's no public library that you could lend it from you may check out sites like b-ok(dot)org. I don't endorse this in general but Springer is making it outrageously expensive to get access to academic literature to people that are not affiliated with universities.
I think you two are making two compatible points:

1) Injection Molding is far more amazing, interesting, intriguing and challenging

2) There is wider market for home 3D printing than injection molding

It really comes down to what you are trying to do and what you need your parts for. Also, there absolute is a community of home machinists. I have met a couple people with home CNCs, and many more with very capable machine shops.
I wonder if document.write() would work for you. The old-fashioned APIs from before the DOM era (e.g innerHTML, innerText) generally seem to be a lot shorter although they're still a bit verbose.
So, at this point, the most likely explanation seems to be that TFA was written prior to the unblinding, and then wasn't subsequently reviewed or updated before publication.
> also Canonical's influence did this IMHO

Huh? Canonical switched away from Gnome with the dreaded version 3 and created their own Unity instead.
I didn't say it is useless.
The name came from a previous exploit called BlueKeep, which wasn't related to BSOD.

In fact: "On 6 September 2019, an exploit of the wormable BlueKeep security vulnerability was announced to have been released into the public realm.[4] The initial version of this exploit was, however, unreliable, being known to cause "blue screen of death" (BSOD) errors. A fix was later announced, removing the cause of the BSOD error."

They even fixed a BSOD issue that popped up in BlueKeep as that was no good to them.
I am surprised that to prevent ewaste, device manufacturers are not forced to provide more updates, or open source modules. A modern mobile is very capable - but you are limited to a couple of major updates, then that's it. Eventually apps stop supporting your version of android. Then inthe bin it goes - although the camera is great and it can playback 4K video.
I’m very similar. I easily become a door mat because I tend to assume people are sincere. It makes me seem nice, but I’m not trying to be particularly nice at all, just decent I guess. I don’t realize when I’ve been taken advantage of until months or even years later. I’m quite bad at reading these things in other people.
You do realize that a major part of helping moving is in the socializing, right?

You'd rather pay someone than be with them.
Yes you can. One side quest with a companion expires in 24 hours upon receiving. If you don’t complete it, you can’t access that ending.
Yes, and the same applies to that.
Which all doesn't matter at all because it'll recover afterwards. Framing it as an ecological disaster is just a way to engage all the people who are prone to worrying about the environment.
Looks great! What makes this different from things like pitchbook, for example? And any plans to monetise in the future?
I can see how that works for you, but it’s not a given. With the exception of software developers, creative professionals really don‘t make that much money (unless they’re famous), and upgrading also brings a lot of inconveniences (software that no longer works, ports that no longer come with your computer) that incur extra costs (new software and the time to learn it, dongles). My friend edits her movies on a 2012 laptop, my other friend records her album on a 2012 laptop. Graphic designers around here often buy the 2015 or earlier macbooks second hand, because of the useful ports and the keyboards that don’t break.

> If you never have to wait for a lock then you know exactly how long your process will take

I think you may be confusing lock-free with wait-free here. I believe it's wait-free that gives you a bound on the number of steps the process can take to complete an operation, but I'm not an expert.
> Don’t bother with man pages. We believe that if you’re following these guidelines for help and documentation, you won’t need man pages.

I disagree strongly in all but exceptional cases. These exceptions would still benefit from a bare-bones man page with the most common options and a handful of examples of common usage.
Hello! I'm the developer of GameLisp :)

You're correct that I've chosen safety and convenience over performance. I might eventually consider integrating the Cranelift code generator to try to achieve LuaJIT-like performance, but it's definitely not on the short-term roadmap.

In practice, I find that GameLisp is more than fast enough to script a busy 2D platformer, as long as you're sensible about using Rust for the more CPU-intensive parts of your game engine.

Incidentally, I'm planning to release GameLisp 0.2 within the next few days - happy to field any other questions while I'm here!

How healthy/functional are the institutions you have worked in, though?

I think healthy institutions find and reward the best people, and so this model fails in them. But the author’s assumption is (perhaps accurately) that most companies are in fact dysfunctional. Earlier in my work history I worked at some awful companies where this model rang an awful lot more true.

Yes, Facebook could do that. There's probably many laws in many other countries Facebook operates in that are a lot less reasonable than this one, but I guess if for some reason this was the specific hill they wanted to die on, they would absolutely be free to do so.

Facebook also has a pretty big engineering office in Tel-Aviv, which they'd probably have to close in this scenario. I imagine that would also be a massive PITA. But, again, there's nothing technically stopping them from doing that.
CO-RE is great, but for those who have to run on older kernels an approach is to loop, guessing the offset and running an experiment to see if correct:

It's a disaster because we, humans made the world so.

A few hundred years ago it wouldn't be a disaster because you'd have millions of seals and penguins everywhere. And such an impact would affect a minor fraction of a percent of a population.

These days, however, even the most populous species are constantly on the brink of extinction.

You don't think that traits people associate with autism has anything to do with whether they choose to get an engineering degree?
Autism diagnoses should be inversely correlated with IQ at the same level of symptoms. For what it's worth, this correlation should hold for every mental health diagnosis.

Pretty much all diagnosis criteria include some form of "and these things cause some sort of problems in the patient's life". Even if it doesn't, if someone's school/life/career is going OK, they don't seek out a mental health diagnosis. And IQ is one thing that is positively correlated with all sorts of desirable life outcomes.

Like, one notable anecdotal example of this is Bill Gross, the "Bond King". He found out that he was on the spectrum when he was in his seventies. Basically a psych was talking about Asperger's at a dinner, Bill was like "that sounds like me", and his wife was like "of course, dear".
I don't mean to make this into a code golf thread, but saying it "can't" be done in plain JS was too enticing not to try it. Does this meet the requirements?

<body><script>let win=window;document.body.innerHTML=`<input id="a"/><b id="b"></b><ul id="c"></ul>`,win.b.onclick=a=>{let b=win.c.appendChild(document.createElement("p"));b.innerText=win.a.value,win.a.value="",b.onclick=()=>win.c.removeChild(b)};</script>

JS Fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/2z0bus8d/

While I think there's always the standard caveat around code golf in JS (you're building on a vast set of APIs and an often resource hungry platform), reaching for a framework really doesn't feel in the spirit of this kind of puzzle.
Yup. I wondered what the PS equivalent was. So, figure out which WMI class one needs:

Get-CimClass | ?{$_ -match 'service'}

ok, 'Win32_service' it is, could've guessed that :) Then:

$svc - Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_service

what can we do with this?

$svc | Get-Member

Lots of options, get some to see if it's what is needed:

$svc | Select-Object -Property Name, PathName, ServiceType | Format-Table

Ok, looks like we need PathName. Sum up and list svchost processes including full descption like the one in services.msc:

$svc | ?{$_.PathName -match 'svchost.exe'} | Select-Object -Property Name, PathName, Description | Format-Table
Not that I’m aware of. I’ve searched a bit, but ultimately haven’t found much and MSB is one of the few shows I let my kids watch. They love it as much as I did. I still enjoy it quite a bit in my 30s, it’s quality television.

>We want the super-productivity, and we want the innate love of software development, but we don't want all the extra baggage. Instead:

In the same breath he wants people who LOVE their jobs and super-productivity, but yet also understand its only a job. You can't have the super-productivity that comes with intrinsic motivation if the environment is boring and lacks anything that might produce intrinsic motivation.

There was a great article about Elon Musk about this from collaborative fund, which I can't find. People love that he's crazy enough to build spaceships and electric cars, but they wish he would just tone down the crazy when it comes to Twitter or whatever controversy he gets into. Its a fundamentally dehumanizing attitude - you DON'T get to pick the good parts of crazy without taking the bad too. You have to take or leave the whole person - warts and all.

Most companies ultimately value more predictable and less productive over slightly crazy and more productive. I realized this is kind of my situation.. advice on what do is much appreciated :)

> OOM and I/O performance issues you ran into?

Sure, very simple react and vue apps regularly run into memory leaks upon navigating views, with most memory being leaked in UI part managed by nativescript, and not in the JS logic. NS does not do it's job freeing memory from UI.

The natural JS leakiness gets amplified if a leaked part references any JS object.

Performance suffers whenever any native API gets called from a JS loop, as exporting Java's objects into JS, and accessing them is very resource intensive. The only way around it was to move loops to Java side of the code.

> Also, did you try either Flutter or React Native afterwards or go straight to native? Did you find them better?

Flutter is not much better, though feels to be a bit more professionally done. It's too a memory hog, it's too a CPU hog, and it's still gets way more issues over a native app to warrant its use just for economic reasons.

RN also shares the same Java-JS interop issues as NS.
Note that these numbers are for autism diagnoses, not autism cases. Someone with profound difficulties in life is far more likely to wind up with an autism diagnosis than higher-functioning autistics that are more likely to figure out successful adaptations.
The end result is games that use 8GB of RAM like modded Minecraft. I was perfectly happy with 8GB of RAM for the entire system but no, that one game was so inefficient that I had to upgrade my entire system.

I will keep saying this over and over again. It's only cheap if you don't waste it. Once you are willing to waste it no amount of RAM will be good enough.
If you put an average coder with a shitty coder then the average coder will usually become frustrated. If you put a great coder with an average coder the same thing happens. Some can handle it, but it will always be a strain. It isn't more complicated than that. There is no reason to associate a lot of negative personality traits with it.
Here's[1] a video with some discussion around the process of designing a mold for a firearm part, from someone who's trying to bring an injection molded product to the market. Here's[2] a video from the actual molding process.

This is obviously for mass production, so I guess you can cut some corners for low-volume production, but I imagine designing a fairly proper mold is still required.

I'm not into firearms but it was interesting to hear the complexities involved, was a lot of things I hadn't thought about.

Lee Sedol's lifetime energy consumption for all biological process is around 50MWh, Alpha Go consumed more than 100kW and was likely to have been trained more than 500h, so even counting all the energy Sedol spent eating, dancing or having sex ends up being less than the amount of energy spent to train the machine used to beat him.
You nailed it. The problem now is that every exec wants their engineers to investigate 3D printing even if it makes zero sense because of all the media hype in last decade.
Pure electric isn't considered efficient when it comes to heating. Heat exchangers, somewhat counterintuitively, have a lot more than 100% efficiency. Especially when combined with other sources of heat such as the ground or the sun.

This is just considering the colder season of the year.
There are a lot of people who "feel" that data should be able to be used in situations that are much more sketchy than you're suggesting. If you don't abide by the initial permissions that people give, how do you decide whose feelings win out? The best you can hope for is to ask people explicitly in the original study whether they're happy to be contacted for a follow-up - it's not clear to me whether that was the case here.
Not quite sure what you mean by being a "believer in defaults"?

Bash an zsh both copied sh and ksh (88) fairly faithfully on old features. Where they diverged on newer things, bash nearly always acquired the feature later than zsh and only very rarely implemented things in a compatible way. Especially for interactive features, I don't think they've seen any need to be compatible. Zsh made more effort on easing things for old tcsh users. It is only on Linux where bash came to be a "default" – if you want pure defaults, see how you enjoy either early sh or a pure POSIX variant as an interactive shell.

Where differences drive you bananas, a little effort to find the right knob to tweak and to stick with it would be rewarded in the long run as you explore the nicer features at your leisure. I'm guessing the asterisks is `setopt NOMATCH` to tweak or, otherwise to understand the benefits of the zsh default.

Call the credit card company and tell them you were wrongfully charged. Either that or file a charge dispute on the cards website. Most CC's these days will reimburse transactions (up to a certain amount) if the dispute falls under what they consider somewhat legit parameters.

Anecdotal:
I used to be a brilliant subscriber myself, albeit one who fell into the annual subscription fin trap. Meaning, I slowly stopped using it and ultimately forgot I had a subscription. So I ended up shamefully charged a full year and a half of non-usage. I thought about disputing it but knowing that it was ultimately on me to have been more responsible my only legit option was to just cancel the subscription and do some proactive checking that I didn't get charged again. Which I just did after reading your post. Would love to hear what kind of life hacks other folks do to stay on top of subscriptions (outside the obvious ones which I've already admitted too not doing of course) ;)

If we cared about this stuff, we would require our government to do something about it...

Don't want child miners in the Congo making cobalt for your iPhone?

We could pressure apple not to buy that cobalt... but then some other company will buy it instead - cobalt is a fungible resource.

We could pressure the US government not to allow that cobalt be imported... but then some other country will buy it - after all, cobalt is fungible...

The only solution is to force the Congolese government to work to prevent the behaviour we don't like. That would involve aid conditional on the issue being resolved, or sanctions if the issue is not resolved.

It's the only way that works. Trying to shame companies into cleaning up their acts only works with companies with a reputation to uphold, and fungible resources mean the bad actors can always sell to companies or countries that don't care about this stuff.
That is also problematic - and if I recall correctly partly one of the reasons behind why windows requires restarts so frequently when software updates are on the table.
The average adult is unskilled to a degree that most of HN would find surprising. There's a really good article[0] on this from the Nielsen Norman Group's blog. 26% of adults in the OECD can't use a computer, 14% are unable to perform tasks like "find all emails from John Smith", another 26% are unable to perform tasks like "look through these emails and use the information in them to book a meeting room".

I think that, whatever definition of "normal" GP was using, it's automatically excluding anywhere from 45% to 95%+ of the population.

OMG The PG comment from there is so condescending and self-aggrandizing it's offensive:

> The difference is not so much where the software runs as what the goal of the company is. I'm interested in startups: companies that at least try to grow huge. Whereas the "small ISVs" he writes about are just ordinary small businesses that happen to write software. Since in the latter there's little scope for brilliance, you're not willing to trade other things for it.

There's PLENTY of ISVs which write complex and ambitious software which would make the brain of an average FAANGer melt. Just look at anything related to computer graphics, geophysics, CAD, data compression etc. Not to mention that a lot of the unicorns are just technically bland web pages that happen to grow huge for reasons unrelated to technical difficulty (see Facebook, Whatsapp etc.). So maybe these unicorns need business brilliance, but I don't think they need technical brilliance all that much.

I had a non-nokia windows phone; the HTC 8X. It was a blast to use the windows phone UI. Everything just felt "right". In addition, even compared to phones today, the HTC 8X was a beauty in my opinion.
What killed the experience, was the ongoing app revolution. And apps weren't being released on Windows Phone.
