It'd kill us. There are vital parts of our genome that come from such viruses. The placenta, for example, forms its host-compatible interface layer with the mother's uterus using a virus-derived protein. So it is believed that all live-birth mammals derive from an animal that accidentally incorporated viral DNA into its genome.

What year was that? I had Rails applications running on a dual processor Pentium 3 in 2007. An online sailing game, no problems with performances.

It's hard to remember what we had to do back then, but Passenger was probably there. My first though: did you use a connection pool and a C driver to make parallel requests to the database?
Yeah Sars-Cov2 is a RNA virus. RNA is far more unstable in the long term. It needs replication to survive for longer times, even if it's only at low levels. Generally in most people, the immune system can clear out the virus itself sooner or later completely. Long term symptoms come from tissue damage. Only the small group of immuno compromised people form an exception (Think HIV, organ transplants, etc). Here, the immune system is not strong enough to get rid of the virus completely, thus it stays around for longer times. But they form a tiny subset, and therapies for them would look different.

As a complete aside, I think this is a really interesting example of how a particular phrase has become part of the cultural vernacular. From the floor of the United States Congress, to t-shirts, to an article on herpes research. Pretty cool, imho.

I actually am quite proud of what we've done for Snikket onboarding.

To eliminate the "argh, what server?" step we focus on invites which guide you through the process, and ensure you have an initial contact or group, not an empty contact list.

I tested it on many people while working on it. The vast majority (with no familiarity with XMPP or decentralized systems) were signed up in just a couple of minutes.
I agree with you, before the external constraints enter the picture. But as you said, it had to be delivered with this feature on a shorter timeline than a better solution allowed for. The choice between delivering something and delivering nothing, how do you proceed there?
I have only been to Austin once to consult on an OpenStack install - Cray was in the same building as my client...

But when I was packing for the trip - I was like "I am going to texas - so I don't need a jacket and only packed short sleeve shirts and brought a pair of shorts!

When I arrived in Austin, IT WAS FUCKING SNOWING

I was so damn cold.
I think that's true. It's always good to explore new ways, especially the ones you don't agree with. Even if you still disagree at the end, I'm sure you'll learn something.

I tried Ubuntu a couple of months ago, as well as other distros (elementaryOS, Linux Mint, and Manjaro). For Ubuntu, it's better than before. These distros had some interesting ideas, but I'm still very happy with my system :D
FYI it seems the URL you posted is for the "related" tab in the Chrome Store. I was originally confused cause there wasn't any info shown about the extension.

The question that you should try to answer is why should someone use your extension over HN built-in favorite feature (I don't mean to be rude but I personally don't see why I would want to install this).

Ideally I would be looking for an affordable and customisable mechanical with sockets and open firmware that is a matrix rather than a specialised ergo/split.

Most "enthusiast" ortho mechanicals seem to be smaller like the plank and appeal to the people who like layers. I know I don't enjoy lots of layer shifting with smaller keyboards.

I have been tempted to build something like an XD75 which is 75 ortho keys in a 60% size. I have also been considering doing a hand wire. More for the fun of making stuff than any necessity.

There are bigger orthos aimed at point of sale and ergo users but their features are a bit different.
Your comment is confusing. Flynt fought the government, people who are complaining about cancel culture are complaining about people not liking their spicy takes.
Buried capacitance is typically just a thin layer for improved sheet capacitance and used primarily for supply decoupling. As such, it's not really a relevant circuit element for reverse engineering.

I've yet to see a consumer board with a buried resistance or capacitance layer. Nor have I seen discrete components somewhere in the laminate. Even things like rigid-flex or nonuniform laminate stacks across the PCB are extremely rare. Not even my cell phone has has such fanciness.

Looking forward to tearing something apart that does, however!

I tried matrix lately. It created a security passphrase for me. I copied it into my password manager and made sure about surrounding whitespace etc. Then when it asked me for the first time to enter this passphrase I pasted it. It told me it was wrong. I had to go to the web version to reset the passphrase because the desktop variant would ask me for the passphrase to reset the passphrase. I created a new passphrase stored it in my password manager, this time making painstakingly sure it was exactly as displayed.

Guess what. I was asked to enter it immidiately after. It was wrong again.

Even if I am convinced of a decentralized, federated concept, software just needs to work. If I, as a programmer with a ton of patience can't get it to work, asking my non-programmer friends to use it is something I won't do.

Thonny and the turtle package are pretty neat. Not quite as direct as Bret Victors examples, but you have immediate feedback and a debugger.

The Python arcade package is also absolutely fun. We spent a day programming a Snake-clone, and some things like the predefined color names are just hilarious. (But I realised that building a game with a run loop is probably too hard for beginners)

My main problem is the difficulty part you mention: There's a pretty big step before you can do rewarding things like moving the player with keyboard control in a fun way.

Doing nothing 10x as fast is not all that useful. In a real app it's unlikely the difference in context switching being 0.2% of your CPU time or 0.02% of your CPU time matters.

It's also not a fundamental restriction on threads vs Goroutines either. switchto is very nearly as fast a Goroutine context switching https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Google-U...

I had a newsletter, and my subscribers were super helpful. Seriously, without them, I wouldn't have finish the book. I thought about keeping the newsletter, but I already had one for my blog. So I simply asked them to switch from one newsletter to the other.

I'm not sure it was a wise decision, but maintaining two newsletter, a blog, and a book was a bit too much for me. I'm still thinking launching a newsletter about mouseless tools though, with tips and tricks; maybe later.
As far as I can tell, nobody here is advocating that we "get rid of due process and the presumption of innocence". And I assure you that neither I nor the fine reporters who've covered this consider ourselves the Punisher :)

What Rod Ponton did is not a matter of debate. It is in fact a matter of extensive public record. The legality of his actions on the other hand-- that is, whether they should be punishable under the law-- is a fair thing to debate, and I would certainly not wish to deprive Mr. Ponton of any of his legal rights whatsoever.

Quite the contrary, I think we would all (except you apparently) like to see Rod Ponton brought to trial in a neutral venue with competent representation, an impartial judge, and a jury of his peers. Rather than, you know, being protected by the system that he feeds, hidden from the prying eyes of the media and, when noticed in random HN threads, defended by sanctimonious sympathizers such as yourself.

Again, fuck you. I'm done with this.
The rest of what I filled in on my own is reality. The motivations you propose constitute a limited theory on how leaders of nations behave. Comparing your theory to thousands of years of actuality ought to cause a rational actor to conclude your theory is at best so incomplete as to be useless and at worst completely wrong.
Well I guess the most useful information I've gotten out of this thread is that there are many other implementations already. I'll try to remember that the next time I see someone use the PEP version in one of my python projects so I can recommend them to use one of the third-party libs. I see no reason to believe they'd be any worse than this.
This does seem quite worrying. I have always loved the Gentoo project because it lets you try to install anything on any architecture (not that it's guaranteed to compile though). In an age where a good amount of our software is theoretically cross-platform, Gentoo serves as a great proof of concept (whereas other distributions just seem to drop support of architectures over time).

Just as an example, I came across a good blog of someone installing Gentoo on an Alpha workstation [0], which I find to be great, seeing as it is officially supported.

Maybe it's just my dogmatic, impractical preference that the software we write should try to work on older hardware, but seeing the entire LLVM ecosystem in this sort of situation makes me sad.

We really need to package ICs in America. It's all automated now, anyway, so the low labor costs (the original reason for sending packaging to Asia) is MUCH less important.
> What would you do as a founder in this instance?

Laugh all the way to the bank, most likely.

This is sad but common. Stock options in a company that hasn't gone public should be treated as a lottery ticket: It's nice if they turn out to be worth something, but their most likely value is $0.
Does that work on a large scale (automation), and/or with the large amounts of money like we have seen in recent cases in the news?
In virtually every instance, the point of employee stock is for you to get played by founders to work longer hours at sub-standard compensation. In most cases the founders are cool with this because they’re sociopaths.
I think the era of single sources for news coverage is over, for better and for worse. On the one hand, it's harder to just dial to one place on the radio/TV/internet and be well-informed; on the other hand, if you do the work, you get way deeper into interesting subjects than was ever possible before. You can get way more info on Covid out of This Week In Virology than even the competent NPR reporters of yore could have ever given you, for example. Esoteric interviewers like Tyler Cowen (on Conversations With Tyler) are vastly smarter and more perceptive than Terry Gross et al. That said, they are not all located on the same place on a radio dial that you can just trust, and you have to sift through the muck to find them.

I have four messaging clients running on my desktop: Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp & Slack. It's not dead.
To be fair, I simplified, and I agree with your critique of what I said.

I don't think it is a binary choice vs. not choice. If speaking frankly, I do believe that any of those things discussed feature both a choice component and a predisposition component. The proportion of each of those two components varies heavily based on a person and a situation.

However, even with this in mind, it is difficult to say that the choice component is ever at zero.

We can discuss to which degree humans have a choice in their actions, because it is definitely debatable, since they all agree on the ground truth that there is always some degree of choice. But that discussion cannot coexist with a belief in total predetermination, since that removes any ground truth completely.
This is peak hacker news. Writing a book about your DE.
My understanding is that herpes (both HSV1 and HSV2) are not actually bad but have enormous social stigma, which is the main problem. I wonder what can be done to address that, as an alternative strategy.
Is it really that much state? For example, the thing I am working on right this moment have the following changes:

1. I changed my environment URL because I need to test on a specific one.

2. My actual feature changes, couple of files and a hundred lines changed.

3. A bunch of debug print messages, some are intertwined within the changes in 2, and some are in other places.

I will stage most of things in 2, probably in multiple commits to group logically. Most of 1,3 will simply be discarded once I comment and test final version. 1, might stick around for the next features I work on.

I can not believe this is too much state, nor can I believe this is not a fairly common workflow for developers?

How would you do this without staging? Would you discard the temporary changes and commit, then possibly write them back manually?

I appreciate the Wordpress example but I’m not familiar with it so it flies right over my head to be honest.
Actually a desktop client is planned. But it's definitely a minority of people who want one, so we're working to get mobile right first.

I actually think we have a competitive advantage here... developing native desktop apps is costly, and most commercial platforms don't bother these days (most you'll get just use a web client in Electron).

However I believe open-source makes it possible to sustain. You can already use native clients such as (the latest version of) Gajim with a Snikket server, but currently without the guarantee it's been tested and interoperable on every single feature... we'll get to that.
Well, put too much inconvenience and some "smart" guy will circumvent it anyway.

I have not personnaly worked in industrial environment, but from people I know, security wise, it is very scary at some places. Here is one such example of a "smart guy":

The IT crew of a factory have a sane policy of deny all traffic, except some well thought out rules.

A supplier would like to open a remote connection for maintenance of the equipment. Since the process for opening some traffic for a short duration is so convoluted, they finally install a 3G card inside the equipment (without telling their customer, and they even make it a habit for future install) so that they can do maintenance whenever they want.

The IT crew still thinks all is safe from outside...
your explanation as to why the book isn't 'free or open source' is an explanation that you need money to continue the endeavor while living life successfully.

This makes one feel like a broken record, but this compels me to mention that there are major differences between 'gratis' and 'libre'.[0]

Open-source/free and for-profit are not at odds with each other. They describe different ideas.

If you have anything that's even a bit more complex (4 layer with a power and GND layer) this technique fails. However, pretty cool if you're working on 2 layer boards!
Very important to address these cases though, since it is believed that this is the source of the new variants that we are seeing now. Patients infected for months on end provide an ideal darwinian environment for the emergence of immune-escape variants.

> Your customers probably would be more willing to pay if they had to be insured against damages caused by hacking.

This is actually the other way around. Insurance is a moral hazard. If you're paying for the insurance anyway then taking steps to reduce the insurance company's risk rather than your own is throwing money down the drain.

Meanwhile the insurance company as a third party has less control over your actions than your own company and is less able to make efficient trade offs, so any requirements they impose tend to be either ineffective or unnecessarily burdensome or both.

The problem is that publicly traded or municipal utility companies have pretty much the same problem where the employees/managers don't pay personally for damage and the people who do are too diffuse or far away to understand their exposure well enough to mitigate it.

Part of the challenge is in addition to liquidation preferences there are board resolutions. If the board agrees to pay management bonuses then they can make that a preceeding operation to the liquidation (with approval) or after conversion to commons. In other words common equity dispersion is the S in bedmas.

Yes. Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say. That's not my own original thought but here is where I got it from:

A significant part of the stigma comes from the fact that once caught, it’s for life. So curing it looks like the best way to also fix the social stigma.
I was surprised how easy it was to adapt to a 60% keyboard. Some obvious fn key mappings for pgup, pgdn, home, end, (arrows) and del (backspace) cover the bulk of it.
That is if you have weak symptoms. You can have HSV1 herpes which reactivates on certain triggers like stress or environmental changes and takes a hold of your whole skin, causing overall itchiness and leading to hospitalization for treatment. These people have to take takes suppressants their whole lives which causes stress on the liver and kidneys.

A treatment of the root cause would be tremendous.
Better value for money in compensation packages. Prospective employees value the stock compared to cash more than the company does, ergo the company gives it to them.

Theoretically the idea is that if the company becomes a unicorn and has a huge IPO and becomes a new tech giant then employees will do really well financially. OP's story isn't that. If investors got "some" money back then it was a failure of business. Probably an acquihire. So neither investors or employees got the big success payout they were hoping for because it wasn't a big success. Investors got some money back and employees got paid a salary for however many years to work on what is probably a useless product.
And IMs, meetings, and just thinking about code. I think it's important to be able to touch type quickly and efficiently use autocomplete because those are directly in the way of transforming your thought into code. But in the times I'm bouncing around with a mouse, it's already coding downtime.

I've been very happy with a layout that is a middle ground between full-size and 60%. Basically you have 18 keys on the right-hand side that can be toggled (using a dedicated button) between arrows + pageup/down + insert etc, and the traditional numpad layout. It is very rare that I need both numpad and arrow keys at the exact same time, so I don't lose any functionality but my hands are more centered towards the front. Even things like Blender that rely heavily on numpad for 3D navigation works well.

My model is old, looks like the most similar current model is the Coolermaster "Masterkeys Pro M" (RGB or white LEDs available):

I agree with the lottery analogy. But in this instance, the lottery ticket kind of hit? There's an exit event happening, people are getting paid. All of the money that employees paid to exercise their options is literally going to pay out executive bonuses.

Wouldn't it benefit the founders more in the long term to make good with their employees for the benefit of working with them in future endeavours? I guess when you're getting a 7 figure payout, it doesn't matter because you can just retire?
Actually, electronics were already in widespread use way before the discovery of the electron by Thomson in 1897...

What you probably meant is the discovery of electricity.
There's nothing about the code being slow in the example. The example said the processes were io bound. The speed of ruby code is irrelevant. If it was io bound demo system had 2 processes sitting 99% idle.

The example said there was 0.5 seconds of IO per request so each process could serve 2 requests per second. 2 processes would serve 4 requests per second. The mistake was running only one process per core. 10 processes would server 40 requests per second, and the cores would still be mostly idle. With rails you always run as many processes as memory allows, not one per core.

Now that rails is thread safe you can have each process run a few threads. If you ran 10 processes and 4 threads per process you are up to 120 requests per second.

If you really need massive concurrency that isn't anything special. But that is more than enough for 90% of the web apps out there.
