I've spent time studying abroad in Vietnam so I think I can answer honestly.

One day, I went camping with some friends. We then returned to the capital and 2 days later I saw the high rise she lived in on the news. She lives in a high rise that's about 38 floors, with around 30 units per floor, so that's about 1000 units. Someone who lived somewhere in that high rise had tested positive for covid so they placed the building under a police barricade. A couple days later they limited the restrictions to only the floors the patient (zero) had been to.

Right now they're experiencing a really bad covid outbreak, and I'm not entirely confident that this isn't the big one that will lead to non-stop community transmission like in the US.

There are a ton of foreigners in the country, I know maaaany people working for embassies from western countries, if there are shady stuff going on you would hear it from them.

A recent development is that they aren't publishing the schedules of an infected person anymore. Before they use to say:

J.S who works at the Samsung Plant on 14 Main St. on the 14th of May visited the Starbucks from 2pm-3pm on Xuan Dieu street, then he visited the au co flower market from 3pm-4:30pm, and then went to Karaoke with colleagues at 54 Blueberry Lane from 5pm-9:30pm, afterwhich he took a cab home whose driver has not yet been identified.

And they would do that for every day since their suspected time of infection. So it was extremely privacy invasive but it helps with contact tracing. Now they will just announce the locations, I presume it's because there's too many new cases.

Recently in the news there was a couple who tested positive for covid but wouldn't come out of their house for 2 or 4 hours against police & health worker's demands. If you have covid, you are forced into hospitalization so you can be monitored by doctors and not infect others.

If you so much as went to the same grocery store at the same time as a covid patient you're going to get sent into centralized quarantine.

They know they can't handle millions of cases so they have to crack down hard on any cases. The death toll last week was only 30, it's these part few weeks that it's been steadily going up.
I'll happily accept 'if the US didn't pull out before winning, they might have won', but this isn't the same as 'the US won'.
it wasn't all for nothing. there was time when Americans cared about advancing a free world. Free from soviet style communism. And this was an ideal worth sacrificing for. Unfortunately, Americans have been demoralized by propaganda to the point of seeing freedom as something not worth dying for.
Technically it was three, the third Indochina war took place between Vietnam and China
Sometimes eliminating state can also mean increasing complexity and lines of code tremendously.
Maybe just offer the option to accomodate people and how they feel at whatever moment you in time you’d like to reward them during.
Time is only the relativistic motion of measurable phenomena. We can’t know what we can’t measure, it is perhaps possible that things “happen/happened” outside of the limits of what we can measure and extrapolate from measurement. We will never know what we can’t know. I would argue.
Are you saying millions of Vietnamese who really wanted to kick out what they believed to be invaders puppets???? It is very CNN of you to say such a thing.
In many parts of North America, testing and upgrades are only triggered with a change of use, or if required by buyers during sale of a building. The state does not maintain any kind of testing program of private buildings.

One exception is the mandatory retrofit programs implemented by some cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Definitely. I'm working on something where a competitor is about half a year ahead, and I can clearly identify what parts of the app that others are using, and which parts are being ignored. To my surprise, one of the main features I thought my product would be good for went basically unused.

What the user wants is rarely the features, but some kind of solution. The solution isn't so clear from the feature. A primary feature of the iPhone is prestige, not calls, so looking good, being expensive, having a powerful camera is often more important than running smoothly or long battery life.

You can observe the competitor to see how people use it, read their reviews, see what people expect from it but aren't getting. Then make a better solution.

I'd also recommend getting to know your competitors well. If your product or their product fails, you could always work together.
The HD58X uses 150-ohm drivers. These can be used without an amplifier just fine, but detail will be lost and they'll be quieter. My general rule is anything 80ohm and over will want an amp... You DEFINITELY want an external DAC+amp for those 58X's.

The DAC chip in a monitor will be the absolute cheapest one they can source, and is probably receiving a lot of noise from the monitor itself as well. The good news is that you don't need to break the bank to get something decent; a budget of ~$100 will get you something a million times better than a screen could ever deliver.

Your comment is quite frankly incredibly ignorant.
> 100x faster than Python. Really in the same ballpark of C++, but much simpler code.

One could say the same for any of the languages I listed (maybe not "much simpler code" in the case of Java).
I was remote working before the pandemic, and once it hit and people had to be home, I started hearing this argument. I looked at people leaders and asked them how they dealt with people who weren’t delivering in the office, and why that would no longer work. People who slack off were doing it before at the Starbucks or through walks, Internet browsing, etc, but when they’re home you can’t look over their shoulder while they do it. What you can do is continue to look for them delivering or not, and if they are, who cares where they do it?
I actually updated my comment and mentioned whataboutism I saw in your comment. Glad that we both saw it. Also I usually don’t check other comments of a person so I was not able to be sure. Now I am. Also HN (selectively) hates flame wars so I’d say let’s stop here.
When I used to teach a class called “Mathematics for Liberal Arts Majors,” the first class began with having students “draw six.¹” I refused to give more explicit instructions. It was fascinating to see the results that came out of this, along with the ideas about numbers that it sparked.

1. I have to confess that the choice of six was not arbitrary.

Do you believe widespread and aggressive quarantine and contact tracing are an effective tool against COVID-19? 50 does seem suspicious. I am skeptical of the data. And yet, if a government (and popluation) actually went along with contact tracing and (real) quarantine, I truly believe it would be relatively straight forward to contain and stop the spread of the virus.
Yeah, sorry for being unclear. It’s so tempting to believe youtube is evil enough to make money off someone’s suffering. But such an accusation would be as simple as copying the video into a YouTube ad mock-up and claiming it’s legit.

Not sure what to think. No one seems to know. I was hoping for something like “it’s true because the video itself came from the ad,” or... something.
I just read this, posting the reference in another reply, seems to be a good enough summary:

"One of the reasons Vietnam was able to act so quickly and keep the case count so low is that the country experienced a severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic in 2003 and human cases of avian influenza between 2004 and 2010. As a result, Vietnam had both the experience and infrastructure to take appropriate action. Vietnam makes many key containment decisions in a matter of days, which may take weeks for governments in other countries to make. Although Vietnam is a highly centralized country, a number of key decisions were made at the local level, which also contributed to the swift response."

It is not your business or anybody's business to dictate what type of world people should live in. DropPing napalm on children is definitely not the right way to convince people on your vision of free world.
Numbers are not fundamental. What is fundamental is laws of arithmetic. 1 + 2 == 2 + 1. Laws like that can only be expressed in some language, which we call "numbers". But only by knowing and using such laws "numbers" become useful.

So in some weird sense numbers allow us to define the laws and the laws define numbers. No?
Most manufacturing specs in US industries such as aerospace and defense are extremely well defined. They don't usually leave enough meat to cut corners in significant areas. They are typically fairly robust in that they are self-assuring. When specs are written correctly they are extremely difficult to subvert in one area and still come up with anything that could be confused with a conforming product. Plus the penalties for actively subverting these specs can be quite severe.

That said, I can almost guarantee the specs for automotive manufacturers are less strict and the penalties less severe simply because the specs are made to be cost-centric rather than performance-centric.
Korean War: won, South Korea was transformed into an american colony a la Japan, and is now used as a platform to counter China in the east as well as trading partner and military base.

Vietnam: countered Soviet expansionism and prevented Vietnam from becoming a communist regional superpower, Vietnam has not done much besides be a trading partner for the US since.

Grenada: won

Gulf wars: overwhelming victories. Destabilized the middle east, provided an opportunity for american megacorps to heavily profit and exert massive influence. Led to Arab spring which further destabilized the middle east. The middle east is essentially no longer in the picture in the game of global hegemony, and in large part has to rely on American refineries and american corporations to handle oil extraction.

Afghanistan: success, stimulated the American economy, very successful unemployment program (provided jobs for America's high school dropouts for 20 years), justified further weapons development plans, allowed america to build tons of bases to help counter China's Silk Road initiative by destabilizing the region.

Syria: mostly a failure at this point. The hope was to break Syria and build the Qatar gas pipeline to hurt Russia's hegemony on european energy supplies. Looks like that is a lost cause at this point, but of all the wars America has recently waged, this one is probably the most justifiable.

The world is no longer about winning wars and conquering territory. It's about destabilizing rising threats to your power. It's about toppling dictators and installing democracies, which are much easier to bribe. It's about countering your enemies/competitors (Russia, china, the middle east) initiatives and causing chaos in their neighborhood.
Term "functional" has been watered down and has different meanings now. However, the original meaning comes from mathematics and is still in use. You might not like it, but that's how it is - hence why I deliberately disambiguated it in my response to make it clear.

This has also nothing to do with gatekeeping.

If you disagree with me, maybe you should go to Wikipedia first and change it there, because by what you say, Wikipedia does it wrong too.

> In computer science, functional programming is a programming paradigm where programs are constructed by applying and composing functions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_programming

And functions links to:

> The subroutine may return a computed value to its caller (its return value), or provide various result values or output parameters. Indeed, a common use of subroutines is to implement mathematical functions, in which the purpose of the subroutine is purely to compute one or more results whose values are entirely determined by the arguments passed to the subroutine. (Examples might include computing the logarithm of a number or the determinant of a matrix.) This type is called a function.

> In programming languages such as C, C++, and C#, subroutines may also simply be called functions (not to be confused with mathematical functions or functional programming, which are different concepts).

At this point I'm convinced that there has to be a really strong opposition, or the Internet becomes Google's jail. We are basically seeing the dystopian side of "zero crime policies" acted out online as they slowly but surely evolve the definition of "malware" and erode away at our freedoms.

Google could be educating users to make their own responsible decisions, but it's far more profitable to keep them uninformed and feed them propaganda to maintain the paranoia that lets it monetise and take control away from them. Being ultimately an ad company, it thrives on deception.

and so realize there is no easy solution — than to ignorantly push for one side or the other to "win."

Twenty years ago, what Apple Google Microsoft do today with their software would be widely considered adware/spyware. One side has already won the battle; we can't let it win the war.

> If I understand them right they've for mailinglist-based dev where you email patches around?

You're right, but I think they are not limited to it. Stgit has a command to directly convert patches to commits. Quilt deals only with patches. So the patches will have to be applied to working tree before they can be committed.

> I want to be able to highlight a change to the workdir, hit a key and select a local commit

> I just discovered today that intellij has the concept of named changesets (i.e multiple staging areas, and you select 1+ to commit).

I am still learning stgit, but I think this is what stacked patches essentially achieve. The patches can effectively be used as multiple staging areas. You can design multiple commits simultaneously and commit them independently. Here is my novice assessment of that workflow: https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/2126398

> I also want to be able to partially stage a newly created file (right now it's cut and paste part of it into a temp file)

That sounds like interactive staging (`git add -p` or `git add -i`). You can do the same in magit, in the status window by selecting the diff lines you want to stage. I use evil-mode and use visual mode for that selection. Am I missing something about your requirement?
My jaw dropped the first time I went to Royal City in Hanoi. I hadn't seen anything like that in the US.
There is a valid concern that people may learn/infer wrong things. Liberty isn't end all catch phrase.
With ViM you can get decent results with a plugin that consumes the output from the ctags library.

It’s not perfect though and depending on how you have it set up you may have to manually trigger tag regeneration which can take a bit depending on deep into package files you set it to go.

That's in interesting approach. But my desire is to implement the rendering of the pie menus in the same browser that is popping up the pie menus.

If it has to run in a separate app, then that app must embed its own separate browser than the one popping up the pie menus.

Since it's a lot easier on the Mac to embed a Safari browser than a Chrome browser, it might be amusing to have Safari handling the pop-up pie menus of Chrome, but it wouldn't be the optimal solution of Chrome (or Safari or Firefox) drawing its own pie menus.

Chrome's browser window extension api almost but not quite works for my purposes, and I wonder if or why it was a design decision not to make it more flexible. Security? Browser extensions, like clowns, can already get away with murder.
I did not think it was possible to do worse than GNOME 39, which sits idle, doing nothing while somehow using 10% of my CPU.
That's exactly the wall I ran up against with ActiveX pie menus.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27276093

I wish browser extensions could pop up floating, undecorated, arbitrarily shaped, alpha-channeled popup windows, whose appearance you can define with any web technology you wanted, which could capture the mouse and keyboard to globally track input events, that would go a long way towards implementing pie menus and all kinds of other user interface widgets.

Perhaps you don't want any web page doing that without permission, but at least trusted browser extensions should be able to.
Winning in Syria was helping Qatar build their Qatar gas pipeline to Europe, but Russia stepped in and didn't let that happen. It was too big of a threat to Russia's most crucial export monopoly: energy to Europe.
they dropped more bombs in Vietnam than in WWII, I'd say that sounds pretty maximal
> …both parties somehow gained value (that could be equated to money)…

Value cannot be equated to money. This is the point you keep missing. Money is a specific good while value is subjective and variable. While you can say that at any given point in time a certain "agent" valued one good more or less than another, based on observed behavior, it makes no sense to try to compare the magnitude of the values placed on a good by two different "agents". Moreover the same agent can value a good more than its price (in money) at one time, and yet value the same amount of money more than an equivalent good at another time; the fact that someone is willing to pay $5 for one hot dog does not imply that they would be willing to pay $10 for two. In general, barring the limited cases where items are more useful as a set than they are individually, the more one has of something (even money) the less one is willing to give to obtain more of the same.

If there were an "agent" that always valued money over every other good, never needed to buy anything to sustain itself, and had an unlimited supply of goods to sell (such as labor over an unlimited time period), perhaps they could end up with all the money. That's a totally unrealistic scenario, of course, but there is a bigger problem: If the total supply of money is held by a single entity then it is no longer a customary means of indirect exchange, and thus no longer money. People would settle on some other means of exchange and the (former) money would become worthless as currency.
How old are you? If you are over 26, I don't think they legally have to pay for it.
Yes, absolutely. They have an authoritarian though somewhat benevolent government, and a culture of following public health advice.
Of course there is comparison with LZ4: http://www.radgametools.com/oodlemermaidselkie.htm

LZ4HC is LZ4 compressed with the slow compressor to achieve better compression. It is decompressed using regular LZ4 decompressor.

They also compare with zstd and lzma, which are the open source competition.

I don't know what "specs" you think are missing. They do say which architectures are supported, what the memory use is, whether multi-threading is supported, etc.

You're right. The Big Bang theory really only concerns itself with what happens starting at around 10^−43 seconds after the presumed singularity that started the universe. That presumed singularity is just a consequence of running General Relativity backwards, and we know that quantum effects are also important at these kinds of insane energy densities, so the singularity can be thought of as a placeholder, until something better comes along. (A complete theory of Quantum Gravity would help a lot.)

48v going straight from a solar battery bank to a USB port is very cool. So many 48/24v->12v->5v shenanigans occur with existing solar-to-charger systems.
Absolutely. 5th generation warfare, motherfucker.

The Russians are the world's undisputed masters of this, so it's time we paramilitarize back.

Also, time to fuck Russia, hard. Putin's parkinsons won't come soon enough, and what comes after might even be worse. We should offer a visa for every Russian woman under 18. Starve the country of mothers, and their birthrate is already abysmal.

I think we don't know. But even if time or anything else existed before the Big Bang, we have seemingly no evidence of it, no reasonable expectation we could ever have any evidence of it, or any way to measure or deduce anything about it. It might as well not exist, for all intents and purposes it no longer does if it ever did.

By contrast, we _do_ see evidence of the Big Bang itself, and our best models today are that everything we see is evidence of (and a product of) that Big Bang.

Additionally, the space expansion aspect of the Big Bang means that space itself in some sense came from the Big Bang. Everything we see was indescribably compacted at that point and then expanded from there, over time.

So if there was anything before the Big Bang, it wasn't space as we know it and it didn't have any knowable effect on the universe we see.

In conclusion, if you have nothing, in no space, does time even mean anything?

I'm also an artist, not a programmer, so I don't need to fill my screen with a ton of text. Plus my tools are pretty much designed around regularly zooming in and out.
That's just a ridiculous statement.

There's hours of video online of American police screaming "stop resisting arrest!", while beating civilians senseless.

It's quite clearly a tactic employed by a lot of them to create plausible deniability of their appalling behavior.
That doesn’t sound realistic. Sketchy companies probably are not in your country, so good luck with those lawsuits. Second, listing your name in a list of “people with black hair” when it’s easily verifiable you have black hair isn’t a valid lawsuit.

As long as the research doesn’t allude that every extension is malicious, then it’s covered. While maybe it doesn’t belong in the research itself, someone could publish it in a separate blog post or gist.
