Define center.

Why do you think I was living there? Why is 1/5 and more of our population living there ?

It’s the economical center of the country. And it’s been design intentionally this way dating back to before the revolution.

It’s infuriating in many aspect. But it’s not relevant to the conversation of fly travel for distance under 3h in train. ( you can do Paris-Marseille in exactly 3h with fast train. It’s 80% of the nord-sud distance of the country. And it take 6h by car )
People are not trolls to demand the freedom to do whatever they want with their property and the freedom to pass laws to force Apple to permit that. The argument that if you do not like Apple or Goole use Linux can be reverse and if Apple or Google does not like EU or other market with anti-competitive laws they are very,very free not to do business there.

Should I remind the fanboys again that Apple gives China direct access to users data? Apple does not have principles but PR people with spreadsheets, you as an user could use your brain and not install a government app or don't give it permissions but if you want the freedom to delegate your thinking to a for profit company you don't have to demand the others give up their freedom too (I don't need X so you should not have it either )

I still remember getting root with a shell-script mp3 player that a friend coded because of this.

The exploit was based in inserting some \$\(
make_a_new_root_account_in_etcpassw \) inside the variable inside the test.

As a result, both my friend and I stopped writing shell scripts as CGI and started learning perl just to do it.

I don't think going to the movies is mainly about the pictures and sound. At least it was never for me. I think it's about the atmosphere and the event with friends, family or partner. It's just different watching a movie in the theater vs watching it at home.

That's why I don't think it will go away anytime soon.
I am not claiming that everyone working in FB is malicious. But if somehow someone missed any malicious intent from FB they seem to be deliberately ignoring glaring issues.

Nobody is forced to install the app at all (at least in the UK's case).

And if they do, they're not forced to share their location anyway.

On the other hand, anyone who has an Android phone is forced to share tons of data with Google. And the cost of not having one is much higher than the cost of not having the government's app.
Part of the problem is that the mainstream media - including the BBC - seem to have mislead people about how well contact tracing worked in places like South Korea. For example, they ran an article a few months back about how it was so effective that South Korea could reopen their pubs and nightclubs. In reality, they'd tried doing that multiple times and every time, cases had started going up enough that they had to close them again - but you wouldn't know that from the article. Nor would you have known that the same thing happened that time; the BBC kept on completely ignoring the rise in cases there even as they reported less important stories from South Korea.

Covid still isn't in control in South Korea. (Singapore maybe, but that relied on their society being structured in a way that wouldn't be politically acceptable elsewhere. If you take a look at the infection rate in their worker dorms, and realise those people would be living amongst the rest of the community in equally crowded housing and shopping at the same stores in Western countries - just like they were in Singapore until they were forced into dorms so actual citizens didn't have to look at them - and that those infections weren't even counted as "community cases" there...)

I am not convinced that copying style is somehow evil.
Apple sent users data about what app their run and when they to their servers, and if I remember right the protocol was not secure enough. So either Apple does not care about privacy or they are incompetent not to implement that feature respecting the users privacy.
> Doctor, it hurts when I do this. Then don't do that
You can mix a surround effect for stereo headphones with audio plugins like DearVR Pro but I personally find all these psychoacoustic effects lacking. I wouldn't use them for music. For effects they are fine, though.

Mixing with such plugins is weird because you have to run everything through them and "build" any stereo effects by hand - because sounds become so localizable that they sound like someone positioned a single speaker somewhere. Just like real surround sound, it also often sounds very unnatural and you cannot really use any other reverbs or delays for sound sculpting.
DO NOT ROUTE REGULAR TRAFFIC OVER TOR TRANSPARENTLY

Sorry for the uppercase, but transparent proxies are dangerous, *especially* if users are not aware of them.

Applications that are not explicitly designed to use Tor can often leak data or be vulnerable to malicious exit nodes.

Also, this pattern can create false sense of security.

See warnings:

I’m acutely aware of that , having grow up in economically devastated country-side where you have to drive 2h to reach the first of those fast train.

What degree of heaviness is okay for drugs to be an okay recommendation on a quite specific problem? Did you ever recommend someone to get an Aspirin due to headache? Hope you didn’t - Aspirin is so dangerous, there’s no way we would allow it on the market according to today’s regulation.
That said, the point here cannot be the danger of medication, but the public perception. Ritalin in adults is very safe if prescribed and monitored by a doctor and supervised by therapy. Taking into account the rate of comorbidities of untreated adhd symptoms (btw, as far as science goes, it’s a spectrum, not a classification, so you’re higher high or low in such treats), such as depression, implying Ritalin were dangerous even if taken as a part of a broader treatment regimen, is much more dangerous.
I came here to muse on basically the same question. Nginx and other TLS termination options seem way more robust than any library I'd write an app server in. After all, this is intended for security, so the dev-op in me dictates: Use a product that is close to bulletproof as possible.
He's handy producing these things and gives a fairly detailed tutorial on how to do the same thing.

As I love OS maps and Tolkien I really like this - I might even try and get him to do my local map square.

> People are not trolls to demand the freedom to do whatever they want with their property

But you can do whatever you want as far as it’s possible by the product that you purchased. If you buy a Gameboy you wouldn’t sue Nintendo for not supporting you to play Playstation games on it, unless you’re a troll. Same thing for Apple products. Do with your iPhone what you want, but if you don’t like the Apple software on it then return your device or try to hack it or just buy another product which better meets your needs.
Yes: https://www.wired.com/2010/12/fear-brain-amygdala/

Gut bacteria influence the production of neurotransmitters therefore it can influence how you 'experience' an emotion. A misbalance in your gut microbiome and the brain's reactions ca be influenced - e.g. cannot transmit effective enough different signals.

To clear out any misunderstanding, your gut microbiome cannot 'make' you feel anything on its own. It can either make it easier or more difficult to experience certain emotions.

This is an emerging field - look at these 2 publications and see how questionable the conclusions can be:

1. Of the literally hundreds of maps on his site, there are only two which are actually based on Middle Earth.

2. 'Style' is not copyrightable. No one owes royalties to Picasso for Cubism.

3. Plagiarism is representing someone else's work as your own. The tag line of his site is literally "Tolkien Inspired Cartography". He's very clear that he's following Tolkien's style.

4. Tolkien borrowed from previous cartographers, his own style evolved considerably over time and what you probably think of as the iconic Tolkien map, was actually by Pauline Baynes.
> It is also available in almost all Unix systems, maybe even more so than bash.

That's a bit of a deceitful claim - maybe bash isn't on every UNIX box but /bin/sh sure is along with awk and cut and all the other associated helpers.

Even if perl is installed its likely missing all the cpan modules that make it useful which isn't great if the host doesn't have carte blanche access to install whatever it feels like.

As a sysadmin/devops person knowing the utilities that are guaranteed to be installed is essential, especially now that docker images trimmed of any fat are trendy for bogus security ideals.
Funny you should mention that. Literally the day that the UK rolled out the new app using the Google/Apple solution, the BBC suddenly forgot about the downsides of the old app and decided that its advantages over the new one were real after all. Even found a few experts to back them up, whereas before you'd think only the government considered it to have any advantage.
Introduction to Goroutines
It does seem to work here in Hong Kong. Two weeks ago someone who went to my gym tested positive, I was instantly notified through the app (as did 500 other members). Within two hours I got tested, and received my negative results the next day.

Anytime someone tests positive, the government notifies everyone who was in the same building in the past two weeks, and testing is mandatory.
I don’t think my point was sloppily written, but perhaps you misunderstood it.

JPA is conceptually incapable of automatically utilising the structure of the underlying database (despite the fact that the database structure is actually dynamic), so it makes up for it by requiring you to write these huge entity models which declare - and duplicate - that structure. You effectively “throw away” the database structure because you have to rewrite it in Java/JPA. I mentioned indexes but that’s just a side issue.

One consequence of this is that it makes refactoring much harder; I found that Java side of a JPA refactor was way more effort than the underlying SQL refactor, but that really shouldn’t be the case.
> the terms and conditions in more detail says that "a contact tracing app may not use location-based APIs... and may not collect any device information to identify the precise location of users".

I also wondered about this. The NZ app doesn't as far as I know log or transmit GPS coordinates. Some organisations have different codes at every door and in each elevator.
This is so cool. I especially loved the Makefile, it's nice to see "bootstrapping" laid out so plainly. I remember finding the concept quite hard to wrap my head around when I was introduced to it. Seeing this would have made it a lot easier to understand!
Thank you. I’ve been commenting a few time that yes. All train go thought Paris first and it’s fucked up. But also it’s not relevant to this particular conversation

> It's hard to emphasize with someone like that and someone like that won't be missed by most people.

It either isn’t for most people, or empathy with the victim isn’t necessary for people to see that he was murdered and the murderer should be punished. (I would hope both are true, but from civic standpoint, the latter is probably more important.)

> The Data for Progress poll asked respondents about another policing issue in the news: Derek Chauvin’s murder trial. Most respondents say he should be found guilty for his role in George Floyd’s death: 68 percent of people feel this way, including 91 percent of Democrats, 63 percent of independents, and 46 percent of Republicans.
The article only considers quoted arguments. Quoting should be recommended for test, and OP probably even has a formal check for quotes being in place. However, let's just set that aside for now. Quotes are optional. And if you don't put quotes, then yes, you need to use `[ x$var = xval ]` to address empty variables.
The term "alledged UFO" from my point of view implies something else than the technical term "unidentified flying object", more precise: Aliens.

Why is this on HN?
Some people and country may hate America for its foreign policy but underlying principle of America is liberty and democracy. Its for this reason other countries willingly at best or grudgingly approve the status of America as super power.

But Iran or any other middle east countries are too religious and follow Islam which is violent in its fundamental principle. Even if exceptional leaders emerge and manage to make progress in women rights, individual libery etc(Example saudi arabia for providing driving license to women) it will short lived as in the case of Turkey. The reason is state can not be separated from the religion according to Islam. For this fundamental reason Islamic countries possessing nuclear weapons is very dangerous to entire world and non muslim country should approve.

IMO the features look Tolkienish, but the fonts don't.

Tolkien himself said 'I wisely started with a map, and made the story fit'. However, the geography itself isn't realistic. This is discussed in [0], with the tagline 'Middle-earth’s got 99 problems, and mountains are basically 98 of them.' In summary, the mountains are essentially linear features that create barriers useful from a plot point of view. The Misty Mountains run north-south, and form a right angle with the Ered Nimrais, which run E-W and separate Gondor from everything else. The Ered Nimrais themselves have a right-angle with the Ephel Duath, which are the western side of the three-sided square of mountains (!) that form the border of Mordor.

The main river of Middle Earth - the Anduin - runs parallel with the Misty Mountains - and itself appears to emerge at 90 degrees from the Ered Mithrin, the mountains that run E-W along the top of the Middle Earth map.

Real geographic features tend not to form right angles.

There is no reason to fly short distance if you want to go from city center to city center.

I used to travel quite a bit between two cities where the option was a 3 hour high speed train and a ~45 minute flight. And while the train was great in theory (fast, comfortable, free wifi etc.) it wasn't quite reliable enough. Being 1-2 hours late was common enough that you basically had to take it into consideration when making plans.

If it was an important meeting I would normally fly in the morning to increase the chance of being on time, and take the train home in the afternoon when I could just chill with a glass of wine and watch a movie and being an hour+ delayed wasn't a big deal.

So far from what I've seen Gradle has been an exercise in frustration from my perspective: a few people "get it", the rest copy and adapt leaving a mess worthy of an evolution theory for code.

Then again, I don't want to be like certain others: the above is just observations from my very limited point of view. Maybe in a year I love Gradle the same way I love Java today after initially finding it almost insane.

After all there are some seriously smart people using Gradle and thinking I'm smarter than all of them would be some serious hubris from me.

I won't go into the morality of this particular issue if Apple or Google is right or wrong in this case, but I do think that Apple and Google are slowly but surely pushing their limits...

Even if they are right, no government wants to be beneath a corporation, and have it so publicly displayed how a corporation wields more power than government.

Apple and Google are just asking to be regulated, and contrary to HN sentiment, I cannot wait for that moment. I think I'll open the champagne and make a toast to Tim Cook.
I was so disappointed that there is no such thing available that its just plug-and-go. It really feels like this setup is breaking ground for some reason.
What if we rephrased it as having the lists sorted by additional field "category", and you are supposed to reset the counter in a new category?
It works the same in HK, once you test positive, you input your case number, and upload your check in history to some government servers. I assumed this is how every country does it.
Perhaps there's some details missing from the article, because it sounds just like how the NZ app operates. All data stays on your phone unless you choose to share it:

"The information you choose to record with NZ COVID Tracer is stored on your phone where only you can see it. This includes the QR codes you scan, your manual diary entries, your Bluetooth ‘keys’, and your NHI number."

If you're identified as a potential case, then you can choose whether or not you want to share your history:

"If you are identified as a confirmed or probable case of COVID-19, it is entirely your choice whether to share your digital diary with the Ministry or upload your Bluetooth keys. You are in control of your data."

Better the devil you know? The worse that Google may do with your data is targeting you with some personalised ads. As for Apple, they have probably even less interests with those... But your government is a different matter. Speeding, financial "crimes", ... evading Covid-19 restrictions :-)

Or CMake.

I can excuse shell languages because they're optimizing for being fast to type in a command line, while also being used for writing programs. But other than that, I weep when I think of the time being wasted on languages with arcane syntax. I wish the world would just switch over to s-expressions.

I understand that many people will find well thought out syntax cleaner than writing trees. But what languages like Bash or CMake, and arguably JS too, have in common is that their syntax wasn't thought out, it grew organically into a mess. S-expressions eliminate this entire class of problems up front.
I'd like to see what data you use for the claim that the very best engineering managers do not code any more. The idea the person who is chosen by the company to assess and compensate highest performers is also rapidly losing the ability to understand deeply the work being produced seems like a perfect recipe for producing random results.

An editor in chief who stops reading and writing to focus on "managing" a bunch of writers cannot effectively know which ones are producing poor work, other than by asking the rest of the writers in a Survivor-style "who gets voted off" competition.

Many times in my management career I've seen engineers who weren't really very well liked be my best performers, but I only knew that because I could actually understand exactly what they were doing and why. They weren't liked because they made everyone else look bad. Had I been code illiterate (a process that takes maybe five years, tops) my only option would have been to listen to the rest of the team and push them out. And this isn't about lines of code, or tickets finished, so it can't be easily measured with Jira.

If an engineering manager is spending so much time "managing" that they cannot write code to stay current then they are in crises: either inherited, self made as job security, or just lack of skill.
Well given I said "very few things" I can't see the disagreement.
