It's way beyond masks. It's shutting down schools (mostly fine for upper-middle class types, potentially crippling for the less well off), wiping out small businesses, and forbidding any semblance of normal social life. Minimizing this as "just masks and social distancing" hugely underestimates the costs.
It is not clear how this response is meant to answer the question in the post you replied to; there was no mention of whitespace.

Their question was:

>Why is there a string right after the field "button" of the object "styled"?

which unambiguously refers to the double backtick characters between "styled.button" and the semicolon in this expression:

> export const Button = styled.button``;

That is, in JavaScript, an empty string. There is not whitespace and Python has nothing at all to do with the question. Similarly, an explanation of what a semicolon does in JavaScript does not answer the question.

I also can't answer the question for them as I haven't kept up with newer JavaScript standards, but I thought it important that you realise you misunderstood something here.

>This graph is outdated, did you find some that is up to date?

I provided statistics in response to your anecdotes. The onus is on you, not me, to prove that a) your anecdotes are actually representative of broader trends, and b) my statistics are, in fact, outdated.
It's disturbing to realize that, given the current zeitgeist, a virus with a higher fatality rate would probably have killed way fewer people. This virus really hit the sweet spot: not as inoffensive as to be trivially managed, not as lethal as to dissolve any political spin.

No disagreement on it being a chore. The template doesn’t cut down on the actual work of triaging these, it just (hopefully, in a healthy org) helps avoid the “3 meetings per CVE with non-technical managers” part, which does seem avoidable.
Is air pollution decreasing?
I think a common misconception is that the concern is about the ionization potential of the radiation. The way I've heard it explained is that microwave frequencies (including, but not limited to, 5G signals) affect the ion channels of cells, preventing normal cellular function and increasing the risk of a variety of disorders, particularly neurological.

Why You Shouldn’t Teach Recursion (Yet)
For the first time in a long time on HN, I find the quality of article better than that of comments!
I almost certainly can't see the difference between 4k and 5k (although it depends on the screen resolution - if the 4k screen is using some weird multiplier then everything is blurry and crappy).

But TFA is looking at 1440p screens, which is 2560x1440 and is LoDPI (@1x) on a 27" screen. I can absolutely tell the difference on those and that's what I can't ever go back to.

The LG 5K screen is 5120x2880 - same "size" as 1440p but everything @2x, and that is glooooorious :)
This is what my product does: https://divjoy.com

Would love to hear if this is what you’re looking for or if you had something different in mind.
Have you examined it or are you guessing? Because I'd have assumed they did too but I see jagged stairsteps on the 4k stream when zooming on sharp edges.
Excellent points, but I have two counters:

- Feedback loops

- Cumulative end-to-end latency

The second is especially challenging as only a handful of coders saying “that’s good enough” can add up to perceptibly massive latency for the end user.
Appreciate the spirit of the post and wish the author success. Well-meaning comments here ridicule the idea of structuring personal goals, either in this way specifically, or entirely. They ask, why not just live your life?

That perspective may misunderstand those who are engaged in a multitude of activities that are all extremely worthwhile, which does include relaxation and self-care, but may also include nurturing a marriage and developing oneself, or developing a child.

There is finite time & opportunity in the author's day, and he is perhaps acutely aware he must choose his time expenditures wisely. It is good to step back, admit this, and install structure to support your true and prioritized goals.

Otherwise, we may easily find ourselves neglecting activities that are dearly important to us, like connecting with a spouse.

To those that say: "just do less," I would say: there is a time where that suggestion will become natural law for each of us. Enjoy your abilities while you can.
Thanks for sharing. Would you consider writing a blog post on your process?

What you were thinking of before was not a KR. It was an individual task to achieve the KR. There is so much bad KR advice out there. Making each KR an individual task is exactly how OKRs (well its one way of doing that) fail in companies.

The objective you had was kinda fine even though it certainly has the connotation of volunteering in person. But if you just make the KRs something like "increase time I help the community by 5 hours per week" then the individual tasks can adjust without making you fail the OKR. Well sure you really envisioned doing a full "work day" each week for habitat for humanity. Covid hit so now you volunteer at the "teens in trouble hotline" for 8 hours a week. KR checked!
What a horrible amount of overhead. Why does Defender need to scan the contents of a bunch of non-executable files? I suspect the answer runs deep and is at least somewhat horrifying.
It isn’t free. Among other things, “making people feel safer” can easily have the consequence that they stop doing the things that actually matter. It’s called “risk compensation”.

Arguing that this isn’t a significant risk just begs the question: without positive data for effectiveness, nobody has any idea.

Photographer here ;)

I took some artistic liberty in choosing color scales for each photo (a) to make them look unique (b) to make people actually look at the color scale (c) because as someone with a physics background it bothers me deeply that people associate hot with red and cold with blue and even go so far as to call 6000K "cool white" and 3000K "warm white" when those are literally blackbody temperature equivalents. So I flipped it around on one shot :)
Common-er, yes; “extremely” seems a bit excessive. It’s not like there was a hijack a day. And as others said, what stopped the trend is more likely to be the fact that passengers’ cooperation is now impossible.

> Are you assuming a fixed rate of retirement for ICE vehicles?

Yes, that calculation assumes that, but it doesn't matter that much - if we take your alternative into account, either EVs have to be 100% of new cars for 12 years, or there has to be a big increase in new cars sold, which would be news in itself.

Or some less likely alternatives, like a huge mode switch to public transport or a global pandemic causing a mode switch to working from home or something.
Do you have evidence that what you're asking for is possible? I'd be interested to see websites that hit the benchmark that you're aiming for.

I just tested a HN profile page (famously one of the lightest weight non-static websites) and it takes between 300ms and 600ms to load. I'm not saying that Jira can't improve, but if HN isn't hitting 250ms then I think telling the Jira guys that nothing less than <200ms is the minimum standard is unrealistic.

It’s tough because it’s probably both.

Perhaps in the short time being more flexible and in the moment is better, while over time Marshall Goldsmiths maxim regarding goals not surrendered of “unrealized ambitions end up being frustrated yearnings for the soul” might hold.

Your solution sounds more European and likely better for overall satisfaction. However, if you for some reason did want to get to grade VIII on the piano and the ability to watch and notice the hues at sunset didn’t come with a mental cue to deep down legitimately let go of that (not to be Buddhist) inkling of desire, then you’re in trouble.

So I can both maintain the tab workflow whilst 'tracking' progress with Zotero application itself.

Because Google Maps is pushed down your throat. Whenever somebody shares their location with me it shows a tiny preview and requires to install Google Maps.

But Google Maps are the worst maps I ever had to use so I don't even have them installed. Fortunately there is quite a number of alternatives. In some countries there even are domestic competitors which usually are guaranteed to be much better than any global-scale map providers.
Making people think they are safe is not sufficient reason to force everyone to wear a mask. It’s only justified if we have good reason to think they work.
I don't advise medium, any sites that force user accounts for their viewers/readers are a bad UX.
There are a lot of basic mistakes in this article. It claims that cells haven't changed much in 1.5 billon years, when in fact eukaryotic cells and multicellular life are only 0.5 billon years old. The details of action potentials are wrong too.

Those mistakes are just details. But I'm a physicist, so I can't tell if there are more serious mistakes that break the whole argument. Any biologists want to comment?

There’s no reason not to study it, but the moment you use the well known bimodal distribution to make claims about men in general being smarter than women you have lost all credibility because the spread of the populations is far larger than the modal distance. Plus the distribution is based on tests that don’t necessarily measure anything particularly useful. Plus there is centuries of institutionalised gender roles, training differences and cultural differences to complicate matters.

So as long as your study is actually rigorous and you aren’t just claiming it is, then you are fine.

If you are like Jordan Peterson and use any difference however minor to form your argument, you are misusing the science and have entered the world of politics and oppression.

I thought the same. After how consistent Scala's syntax is, it's hard to adjust to what Rust has done here. In Scala

def hello : String = "hello" // evaluated every time
def hello(name: String) : String = s"hello $name" // parameters

Roughly the same approach. I ended up getting a Gigabyte Z490 Vision D motherboard specifically because it was the only one of the new Z490s that had an onboard Thunderbolt 3 controller AND a DP1.2 input (which negated the need for the titan ridge controller).

So I just run a short DP1.2 cable from the Nvidia card output to the DP1.2 input on the motherboard, then plug my LG monitor into the Thunderbolt 3 output on the motherboard, and it all works like magic.

I'm assuming it would work exactly the same way on the Pro Display XDR. The only caveat is that I think this setup is limited to 4K. I didn't dig too deeply since there's not enough of a difference between 4K and 5K IMHO to make the effort worthwhile. 6K might be worth figuring it out though :)
But it is the case though.

Jets today fly much faster than drones, even as you point out - they don't have the 'pilot limitation'.

There are many reasons for that obviously, not just 'G Force'.

Air Superiority Drones are an entirely different kind of entity, and they don't materially exist today. Also for a variety of reasons. Though they likely will in the future.

I would assume a common use for GPS in a watch is workout tracking, so it gets manually started and stopped when they go for a run. it'd need more time at the start to get a clean fix, but in good conditions could probably get by with short blips.
If I'm understanding OP correctly, they'd still get out ahead if they invested in the right stocks.

Death counts don’t tell you much. If the main effect of the virus is ultimately to advance a bunch of older people’s deaths by a year or two, then it’s not a big deal. People live and people die, that’s life.

I believe the comparison is just to the bundled zipfile module and BytesIO, which would be the quick and dirty way to make a zipfile without creating actual files, but would be memory intensive.
The reason you're getting downvoted, so you know, is that your original response heavily indicated you _were_ talking about the email reports.

You replied to someone complaining about getting emails and defended it with "but that directory shouldn't exist", implying you disagreed with their take.

You're arguing about something here that no one else is trying to talk about. The poster you originally replied to was only talking about the email case, so your response is contextualized in that case already.

If you original post had been "Yeah, I agree. That would make sense as a CI rule that you run, not as a scanner someone else runs" then you wouldn't have gotten any pushback, but your post was strongly implying a position you apparently don't hold.
While Airbus is older than the current EU it was and is a multi-national cooperation in the same spirit, where political and national interests need to be taken into account, even if it reduces economic efficiency. They even needed the Beluga https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_Beluga because they could not concentrate manufacturing of big parts in a single country.

Boeing should have a clear advantage because they have no such political interference. But it doesn't seem to have prevented Airbus from being a serious competitor. Whether the political interference is older than the EU or from the EU of today should not make a significant difference here.
That is surprisingly high for a country with only 65% home ownership. Do French apartments mostly have garages or some kind of charging options?

James Damore was destroyed for ranting against diversity policies, and claimed a lot more than just “men are smarter than women”. He claimed there was significant difference between any man’s and any woman’s intelligence, and that workers should be employed on merit as if they weren’t already selected on merit to start with.

Read his whole manifesto before you go simplifying his argument to one point.
> If there's a generally static scene with just characters walking through it, does the render take advantage of rendering the static parts for the whole scene once, and then overlay and recompute the small differences caused by the moving things in each individual sub frame?

Not any more. It used to be that frames were rendered in bits then composited to make the final image. However, you then need lots of tricks to reflect what would have happened to the background as a result of the foreground ... shadows, for instance. So now the entire scene is given to the renderer and the renderer is told to get on with it.

Regarding physics cheats, it depends on the renderer but basically none. AI despeckling is making a huge difference to render times, however.

Directors don't get involved in scaling laws and stuff like that. Basically a studio has a "look" that they'll quote around.

Compute relevant techniques? A renderer basically solves the rendering equation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendering_equation

While this is true, there’s limits to the capabilities of many ballistic missiles, some are incapable of changing trajectory.

I'm really surprised on a forum like HN that there isn't more questioning of what the Joint Simulation Environment is really supposed to do and why the development of a simulation should hold up the full production of a tactical aircraft.

JSE is really interesting, it's meant to be a high-fidelity electronic warfare simulation with actual aircraft software in the simulation loop. The F-35 that's present in the JSE is the same code that is running on a real jet, with sensor models specifically developed by all the sensor vendors. All this is fed with the latest intelligence data on threat aircraft and emitters. The point of all this is, the US should be able to better develop the aircraft -- and other aircraft types -- in the future if it has a high tech digital testing ground that it can step through iterations with very quickly.

As far as I can tell nothing like this has been done before so it's no wonder that it's taking a while.

Here's a US Navy PDF briefing on the JSE:

An alternative “system” that unfortunately works with your criticism while still being a system is simply a value aligned “DIDMB” (did I do my best....to say something nice to my spouse? To start the day with clear goals, etc) question list self served at night.

A score of “10” on eating well might mean one thing while on PTO and another on a busy travel day where simply not grabbing the king size snickers at the airport convenience store is a massive win. So it’s relative to your ability and to the environment and to where you are that particular day.

I personally paid a young teen to call/text me daily with the question list for about a year and tremendously enjoyed it (as in benefited from it).

But sorry to agree with you by jamming another system in :)
Thank you! I will now go read the article.
