The South African variant is almost certainly not spreading faster because of the variant but because there were super spreader events like recently 1000 people tested positive after going to a night club [1]. Indoor weddings, funerals, and other big events have contributed too. While people wear masks (badly) outdoors and in shops, I think the root cause is bars, clubs, shebeens, etc. The government is also reluctant to introduce a new lockdown for fear of the damage to the economy.

I’ve just come from the UK, and while rules were less strict for a while, and people weren’t wearing masks as much, I’m less certain if people were social distancing. We certainly were in preparation for travel, but I imagine schools, college holidays, etc contributed just as much as any variant.

Show HN: History suggest box for your shell
hstr-rs is a shell history suggest box that provides quick access to the commands in your shell history. Just search for the command you want to execute (regex mode is supported), or, if you don't precisely know what you're looking for, you can browse through the commands until you find the one you want to execute. Apart from this, you can delete unwanted entries from your history, too, and more. It should work on all terminals ranging from linux term to xterm. It was initially made for bash but it should work as well with zsh, ksh, and tcsh, too.

I use it on a daily basis.

Check out the README for instructions if you want to try it out.

Suggestions, bug reports, etc. are welcome.

Let me know what you think:

Nice to see the US slowly learn to grift on a whole new scale.

> This is why Congress needs time to actually read this package before voting on it.

6000 page bills rubber-stamped by congress. No wonder congress constantly ranks way below presidencies and other agencies in polls (like only 20% think congress does a good job, way lower than the useless president of past).

But look no further from there (super bureaucratic) India if really want even more gifting the US (F35 is the classic exa). And getting some anti-grifters to expose it (they starting get serious about corruption late 2000a).

This one is a good example where his job was a random "Land clearing" engineer took tribes for illegal real estate developments and had tens of millionaires in USD in their coil.

They find top good end jobs (sometimes unqualified) and rake it in. There's probably worth starting an FBI groups to see congress and senators that have property well beyond their salary.

Plenty of examples from india:

> If your goal is to reach 100% green transportation, batteries will never get you there.

When you pose every problem as an absolute, it's impossible to come up with a solution for anything.

I'm not one to make perfect be the enemy of good. If 99% of driving is EV and 1% is ICE then we have a much smaller problem to deal with.

Not long ago, people predicted EVs would never get to the point they are now. The picture will be entirely different in 10 more years. By the time we've replaced the first 90% of ICE vehicles, the solutions to the last 10% will become more obvious than they are now.
I want this so bad. I have compiled C code to WASM before but without knowing JavaScript of course there is little that can be done.

Unfortunately for us, I think that most people come from the other camp, and want parts of their JavaScript to be more efficient, thus turning to WASM.
Do we need less democracy? My long-read Q&A with Garett Jones

And I would argue not many people should own a St. Bernard size dog.

However, I should clarify, the point regarding being able to lift a dog that you own is not so that you can physically control the dog in a dominating fashion (I am of the opinion you should not try to dominate a dog as with a large or powerful dog it could end badly). It is more so that if you are walking the dog and it suddenly pulls towards a squirrel or something you are not instantly pulled off balance. Also, if the dog were to be injured that you could get the dog to your vehicle to drive to the vet.

Your point, however, is well taken. Police K-9s may only weigh 50 lbs but easily take full grown men weighing 200 lbs to the ground. No one should try to dominate a dog. That teaches them that that is how you interact with people and they will eventually do it to someone else if not you.
And they were actually accurate which is unusual for this sort of thing.

> The Saturn V can carry those 3 people way further, though.

Saturn V: 3 people to the Moon; Starship: 100 people to Mars (unproven, of course). Mars is a little further than the Moon. Granted, that's with in-orbit refueling.
Pretty sure The Boring Company machines will fit in these rockets..
Traction control can selectively apply the brake to the wheel that it thinks is spinning too fast. If the wheel isn't spinning too fast that that can throw the vehicle into a skid (the reason traction control exists is to avoid going in to a skid).

So it's not just decelerating the vehicle, it's decelerating the wheel that it thinks is rotating too fast to make it match the speed of the road. When in a curve as described by the OP if the wheel is a front & driven wheel this could cause severe understeer causing the car to move further out, which will in turn cause the inboard wheels to slow down further relative to the outboard ones. This could cause a positive feedback loop. Note that if you start braking one wheel that's on a diff the other wheel will attempt to speed up.
If you are reading this with interest then I encourage you to give it a go.

However, Docker is like a kitchen machine: good for getting something done in a particular way (stand mixer for kneading dough) but less useful for understanding what’s actually happening (when is pizza dough ready?)

On Linux, picking apart LXC stuff at the command line is very much worth your time if you’re interested in how things work. (Not LXD though which is more useful as a tool than as a teaching aid.)

If you have some IPv6 allocation to play with you can make some interesting infrastructure and have it do something useful on the Internet without relying on the lxc-net crutches of an automatically built bridge with NAT. It all feels very well designed as a bag of tools to let one make things rather than a complete system that guides you in only one particular direction.

I use stand mixers and Docker all the time; sometimes it’s fun to get into the details too.
That 2% statistic is a bit misleading. Those tests carry a non-negligible risk of miscarriage, so they are generally only prescribed if other tests show that a fetus is high-risk for one of various disorders. Furthermore, some women choose not to get the test even if they are high-risk, because they would never terminate. I’m not sure it’s possible to estimate the ‘true’ termination rate using these statistics.
Nope, cause it didn’t have a second stage they could refuel in orbit, a reusable second stage they could use as a tanker, or a reusable first stage that provides the cadence to do in orbit refueling.

Because of in-orbit refueling each Starship will land over ten times the payload on Mars as each Apollo mission landed on the moon.
That is the case with any infection/immunization which changes our immune system. There will be some people who will react differently down the line from what would have been had they not been vaccinated. People who had chicken pox show up with shingles later in life.
Helicopters don't do great at high altitudes like that. Honestly I'm a little surprised that they even attempted to recover the second SNAP with a helicopter.
My reading of the article is Hanlon's razor (“don’t attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”), not corruption/grift.
Fuel costs per launch will be about $500K, the remaining costs are dependent upon how many times both stages can be reused, maintenance costs, and launch/pad costs.
This might lead to developers not knowing or understanding their environment and I have a problem with that.
I believe it requires a refuel in orbit to get to the moon. So, two missions, but still super impressive.
I'd go one step further and point out that J&J also requires only one shot (assuming they can reach high effectiveness ~90% without significant side effects <100ppm).

Not only is there reduced logistical challenge which is easily >$10, but the others are only listed at half the effective price since they have to be given twice 3-4 weeks apart!
> We need to add in to these calculations the news that the half-dose group included no patients older than 55, and to wonder what effect that had on the numbers, too.

I’m struggling to understand that. It can’t be random, with so many people in each treatment. So why are their treatment arms unbalanced? And how do they control for that in the analysis?
Ironically Mercury is definitely more inhabitable than Venus.
Because it would actually help.

As of currently there is a huge production backlog for Moderna and Pfizer, but not the simpler AZ and Sputnik vector vaccines. Mass vaccinations need to happen last month, not in May to be effective. In May/June when our batches will be ready, the wave would already be over and you would be protected for the next 6 months with almost no risk. The next useful vaccination period would be fall 2021.

With the two simpler vector vaccines you could start now for everybody, as did Russia, Hungary and Argentina weeks ago. Well, with Sputnik not the elderly.

It was a mistaken assumption from the Homebrew developers who didn't realize AVX would cause problems with Rosetta2.

Within a few days problems became evident and Homebrew turned the compiler flag back off. Now it's just a question of the best way of remediating the already-compiled packages in the simplest way possible.

Really the fact that this is now a front-page-of-HN story is going to cause more confusion to people. It was just a short-lived bug.
The author talks of APM requirement as benign challenge;
the RTS decline is caused by RSI, because once the player gets to high-level play - speed of execution becomes dominant and players injure their muscles to win.
Turn-based games are thriving because the cost-of-interaction is much less and APM is irrelevamt
I will never, ever forgive Blizzard for removing quality-of-life features from Starcraft 2 for the sole purpose of artificially inflating the required APM. Specifically in the beta you could just use hotkeys to quickly use Zerg Queen to spawn extra larvae. But nope! Pro players hated that. Why should players be able to do something in a strategy game in fewer clicks when they could simply do it in more? Garbage.

In an RTS the mechanical skill largely comes down to raw speed. And it’s relatively binary. As opposed to a shooter where mechanical skill is reaction time and accuracy.

Interesting write up. I agree with many points. I pray someone twists the RTS genre in a way that is radically less reliant on APM.
Agreed, they added Nomads faction recently. And its really popular these days.
The only problem is that you still need a relatively good pc(good processor ideally) to play this game, considering that its over a decade old.
For anyone wanting to have a fictional take on this subject, I'd recommend reading Dark Matter by Blake Crouch.
I'm 61, male, and started in software back in the mid 70s. First computer that I could physically touch was a PDP-8/M with an ASR-33 teletype with paper tape reader and punch.

In my mid-50s, I started listening to Alan Watts and learning about ancient Indian religions / philosophies. My world-view today is some kind of cross between Zen Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta. I'm a free will skeptic, as well.

While I'm not paralyzed by it, I've come to think that we can't know how any decision we make is going to turn out. We can't know with certainty if doing X is going to be good or bad for us in the long run. All we have are our own estimates of probabilities, and I'm not sure how well we can estimate them, either, honestly.

I also don't know who "I" am, or where I begin or end. In infancy and childhood, I think we come to accept a belief that "we" are individuals, each residing in our physical bodies. Yet I understand the Universe to be a single thing (a quantum field? a simulation?) and so the idea of us being individuals seems a bit off to me. I think we are far more connected and interdependent than we usually recognize.

One good outcome of my world view is that I don't really worry about passing away. A less pleasant outcome is that my world view is so out of the ordinary that I don't often connect with people that I can talk about this with in any serious way.
> ”It’s likely, Miller thinks, that capitalism, “with its isolation of individuals and its accelerating generation of choices and chances,” has increased the number of our unlived lives.”

Wouldn’t be a New Yorker article without a dig at capitalism. Capitalism is individuals choosing how to invest their own money. Any deviation from private capital is socialism and we live in an extremely socialist society already.
I am just waiting for the (moment of true) to hit us all. After 20 years of advancements in web technology we are an inch from making it useful only for ad companies and consumer driven behaviour. Is usenet valuable alternative for filtering out tons of crap pushed by ad empires ?
I also suspect OS package managers are underused when it comes to deployments. I am guilty of that too, some irrational wariness of end-user tools being fit to deal with developer workflows.

That aside, there is one slight possible pitfall in discarding one tech because it is less mature than the other: if we assume maturity only increases with time, the oldest product (e.g. apt/dkpg) will always be “best”. Made a note for myself to prefer “not mature enough for my needs” over “less mature than X”.
Another theory: interstellar trade in arts will be huge, because that’s the only thing unique to each culture. Except disco.
333c's answer is excellent. The other consideration is that "the required victory points" aren't fixed; they are 1 + your opponent's VP.

Some boards do have a dynamic of "there are roughly X VP we are fighting over; get more than half in the fewest turns". On other boards, if someone were to green too early, they would hopelessly clog up their decks. So players build for as long as possible and gain VP only on the same turn as they can end the game.

There's a wide spectrum between these extremes.

It's definitely easier to commit to one path. I've played bloodborne and DS3 twice and dark souls remastered once. I completed all my playthroughs with a quality melee build. Despite these 5 playthroughs, my understanding of the game is quite narrow. I have no idea what playing as a sorcerer, pyromancer etc would be like, so at least you get that.
That’s an offensive comparison. I believe it is clear that the US is by far the world leader in bureaucratic grifting.
I once did an experiment on identifying based solely on keystroke timing:

https://github.com/mturnshek/keystroke-timing-identifier

I did not test it on a large group, but it worked pretty well for a group of ~8 styles and minimal data. I believe a deeper model with enough data could identify on a large scale through timing alone.

I’m in my 30s and have a similar world view though I’ve never paid much attention to religion and just sort of landed here by default. The system we’ve created for ourselves doesn’t care much for world views though. Its important to adapt to our micro environment as well as macro. This is probably why it’s rare to bump into likeminded people. You probably wouldn’t know I think like this if you met me either.

rdflib-sqlalchemy is a SQLAlchemy rdflib graph store backend:
https://github.com/RDFLib/rdflib-sqlalchemy

It also persists namespace mappings so that e.g. schema:Thing expands to http://schema.org/Thing

The table schema and indices are defined in rdflib_sqlalchemy/tables.py:
https://github.com/RDFLib/rdflib-sqlalchemy/blob/develop/rdf...

You can execute SPARQL queries against SQL, but most native triplestores will have a better query plan and/or better performance.

The Saturn V would be three people to the moon and back. Starship is 100 people more or less around GTO. Multiple starships are needed to go to Mars. It's a pretty ridiculous comparison.
This is still being done and I find it interesting but always suspect. I saw one person doing it in my area and in the early times they "traded" for a vacuum cleaner but I am certain that was actually a vacuum that was being given away free. Not really illegal or anything, but it does give you an idea, people traded for something trivial because the thing they traded was something they were throwing away. People give away stuff that is worth hundreds of dollars. People would be surprised. But ultimately that makes the paper-clip to something worth a few hundred dollars relatively easy.
I think it starts getting really steep really quick. You can't increase the value of your object by 50% every time. You're just increasing by a little bit. But the one I know of recently started getting trades that were actually companies who were benefitting from the social media profile. So even if they "lost" in a trade they gained promotion from being involved with the project.
It is not part of the problem, it is a symptom of it.
Thanks, but I disagree! Most of the pixelized animals number in the hundreds or thousands - horrifyingly low. What diversity and ‚culture‘ can exist within those numbers? There can be a ‚healthy‘ population of 1, but it's still extinction for the species.

I wish the downvoters would have the courage to speak up.
Still, that is multiple Starships.

Also, the Saturn V came back. That requires quite a bit more delta v. Actually, going to the moon and back is not that far off a one way trip to Mars.
The Wolfram page says they are similar, so can't have areas with that relation. But isn't it that they aren't similar, so can? Wikipedia seems to say the opposite of Wolfram, but I could have misread.
It depends on the implementation. For example, the post mentions using Elasticsearch in production "which naturally supports this cursor stuff" but it has a max keep alive context duration of 24 hours[1] by default. This limit can be extended on a cluster level but it's unlikely they have it set to indefinite. Which means that their search context is likely only valid for 24 hours.

Between this and the "pork" that was recently scrutinized, I am completely disgusted that local, state and federal government thinks that they have a blank check care of tax payers. Of course it's been this way forever, but this is getting out of hand.

What an absolutely disgusting waste.
> Running a program in a container is a lot like running it normally, but the user doesn’t need to jump through hoops to configure the system, build and install.

Docker is itself a complex build tool which requires a bunch of install steps. If you are going to ship software to end users there is almost always a better way to bundle and ship than send someone a Docker container.

Docker is not a distribution tool, if you are expecting your end users to install Docker, you've already screwed up.

> Downloading a pre-compiled binary is almost like this, except with worse odds. Maybe there’s a build for your architecture. If it was statically linked, you’re golden. Otherwise, use ldd to reverse engineer the fact that you need to install libjpeg.

On Mac and Windows this is almost never an issue. Even on Linux, it's pretty straight forward to statically link your binary if you aren't sure about the environment it's going to be run on. Statically linked binaries are a bit bloated... but not as bloated as a damned Docker image which contains entire dependency trees.

In no case is "Making it into a Docker Image" a simpler/ better distribution mechanic.
