Most devices these days including the iPad and things like Go Pros film in at least 720P which absolutely fills up storage space in no time at all. I started filming my kids' sporting events in HD and editing them on my laptop and I completely filled up 1 terabyte of storage on my computer in no time at all. Then I had to start playing the game of moving older stuff to external storage which totally sucks if you want to go back to it quickly. 1 minute of 1080P video at 60fps is around 200MB depending on the format, an hour is like 12 gigs. The only reasonable way to manage almost any amount of HD video is on a desktop system with loads of cheap(er) storage.
I don't think it's the emigration part that's needed.

People are usually forced to emigrate somewhere else because of the conditions or their home country.
Those who are down to emigrate to a foreign country (especially if their original country is not a warzone or is not that bad - implying they're really trying hard to improve their life) probably have some other characteristics that can be useful for achieving success.

The debate then moves on how much of those characteristics are genetic and how much are due to the bad environment per se (or maybe the good environment their families where able to setup in a bad environment) - on which I think we don't yet have a scientific answer.
Well, let me first state the obvious - no test anywhere is perfect. But when it comes to antibody tests you have to be a bit more specific and discuss the underlying technology and method of detection. For e.g. there are 1129 diagnostic products for covid, and not all of them are identical. There are many reasons for false-negatives and some could be specific to the product being used. The paper you linked to is not about COVID19, its from 2003 and also its scope is not a general review of antibody tests. Its an investigation into false-positives with a specific underlying autoimmune disease possibly masking the result. I am not familiar with this study to speak in any great detail.

PowerPoint 2016 is listed as “garbage” in winehq, and that’s the latest version listed.

Recent Photoshop is either silver or garbage depending on the version. Premiere is listed as garbage for all versions.

Newest iTunes is bronze.

I’m not even trying to find bad examples. I’m just poking around in their public db for popular software that doesn’t exist in Linux. I’ve run into this every time I try to use wine for real — it’s never worked well. It’s also a really hard problem! You basically need to re-write Windows and all of it’s related components, which one of the worlds biggest companies has spent decades on and however many billions of dollars. But it’s not like “pretty much any” windows software will run well. It’s quite selective outside of games.
We had this question earlier in a reddit submission so copying and pasting the answer here (so that you don't think I'm being insincere!) - We fully support styledComponents, or any valid React for that matter. You can even use utility CSS classes in code. The design tool can edit some of these today already (e.g. you can pass in additional styles to a component instance). Better support for creating and managing styledComponents / Emotion is high on our roadmap so watch this space!
This is a good symbolic gesture, but making election day a federal holiday equivalent in standing with Christmas would have real and positive impact.

But the latter never draws the votes in congress, so that should tell us how meaningless this vote truly was.
I think it's a contestable claim, sure, but fraudulent is a bit doth protest too much in this case. Out of curiosity, what does being religious actually mean in the way that you used the term above?

Besides the purely superficial, "I believe in such and such" (and not backed up by any inner conviction) sort. Because a purely nominal religiosity is hardly evidence of any substantive cultural or political influence. It takes more than that to count as influence IMO.

She's doing storyboarding-type work, and we did check into the iPad option first before getting the Wacom (which I think might be Intuos). It did not measure up. Of course, the iPad does all kinds of other stuff, but I think that might be the problem. The Wacom is made for drawing, and that's about it, and thus it is very good at it, apparently.
The press should also commit to not naming and showing the face of mass murderers to prevent glorifying their crimes and encouraging copy cats.
This is what makes the Android eInk devices better IMO. Yeah, note taking is a touch worse but they are way better at reading as you can just grab the Kindle, Kobo, Google Play Books, Libby, Comixology app etc. And getting things off and on is a breeze because it supports MTP and cloud service apps like Dropbox and OneDrive.
Yeah, this is selecting for people participating in a medical study, it is far from a random sampling.

Lots of very rural America would be ruled out, even if the study participants weren't all from traditional big cities.

People that are less mobile also wouldn't participate, etc. Lots of people who wouldn't contract COVID early would also not be likely to participate in this kind of trial.

Plus the positives in this case weren't all in January, they spread into March (by which point in time finding positives becomes much more likely).

And that's aside from the difficulties with antibody testing and cross-reactivity -- although this study looks a lot better than the previous one.
Me because of my friend who is like you.
I agree that it's frustrating that other efforts aren't being made, and this is easier, but I disagree it's an empty effort. Holidays, statues, rituals -- they're how we define ourselves as a society. They're important. Imagine how people would react if we tried to get rid of MLK day, or President's day, or the extreme negative reaction to proposals to cede Mt. Rushmore? They're symbols of the American national identity, for better or worse.

If you're interested, I highly recommend the youtube channel Religion for Breakfast's series on American Civic Religion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x49n90lWi0s .
The new software update lets you hit a button to take you to a "notebook overview" type page, where you can see all the pages in the notebook laid out in a quasi-grid. You can then tap whichever page you want to navigate to. Of course there's always complications with determining which page to use, having to scroll if your notebook has 1000 pages, etc, etc, but I think it might hit the 90% case you're looking for with trying to quickly switch between non-contiguous pages without having to scroll through the whole notebook.

What happened to literate programming?

Back in the CoffeeScript days, it's creator adopted a literate programming format, which was basically Markdown with code blocks being CoffeeScript.

He talked about that as the future of programming. Whelp, CoffeeScript got killed off by ES2015 and the file format never caught on.

I know the concept of literate programming does come from Knuth, but I first heard about it with CoffeeScript.

Why did this never catch on?
None. Neither the word coq (nor cock) is disrespecting of women any more than the word pussy is disrespecting of men. Get a grip of yourself and your moral panic.

> Davos is a real summit that happens every year; it's also a crank subject because cranks integrate it into their NWO and similar theories.

Well, I think they're only partly wrong: Of course Davos has always (since long before it was called the "WEF") felt like it's all about "the world order"... But it's made up of the rich and powerful -- so why would it want a new world order, when the old / current one is that the rich and powerful run the world?

Evocative rhetoric, that falls apart upon examination. Is it your claim that if only most Americans bought fair-trade coffee instead of the cheap stuff, the CIA would start to behave?

What about Americans that voted for politicians and presidents that promised fewer wars, or to clean up the deep state? Are they absolved of this guilt?

The CCP's tactic is to conflate criticism of the Party with criticism of the Chinese people and China itself, so that when the Party is attacked, the Chinese will also feel attacked, and rush to its defense. You are doing the same for the CIA.

>And consequently GTK is more of a Gnome 3 toolkit rather than a universal toolkit, which will affect non-gnome GTK apps.

This is not really true, and has not affected anything that I've seen. Basically every GTK desktop (including GNOME) has another separate widget library on top of GTK, to include its own widgets specific to that desktop. Also GTK3 is currently release frozen and will not be adding any more features, GTK4 is the current version.

>hopefully by avoiding Gnome 3 because it constantly changes workflow and uses buggy JavaScript plugins,

I haven't seen any desktop system that doesn't change workflow over time, or doesn't have some bugs in the plugins. That's a sad fact of life when you have hundreds of plugins made by various people, with varying quality. FYI KDE is also using javascript as a plugin language for the desktop, and for a number of other QML things, so it makes no sense to single out GNOME for use of javascript: https://develop.kde.org/docs/plasma/scripting/

Principally, I think "gaming" now means "graphically high-powered". If you are going to be word processing, internet browsing, etc. then this is not as important and may not be worth the cost. So the desktops with a beefy GPU, etc. get called "gaming" as a shorthand for that.
You're referring to the general state of US history education including this new legislation, I assume.
I assume they are making it a federal holiday not unlike Columbus Day or Veterans Day. If you work in the private sector the chance you have those days off is fairly low.

State governments may or may not recognize a given federal public holiday.
As an American with over 10k in their emergency fund, it would be really nice if it didn't have to be that high! That's 3 months for both my wife and I to not work at all if needed, or one trip to the ER for a "major" accident.

I would love to only need to keep a few thousand bucks in the case that my car breaks, and even then, that's likely overkill for the actual repair costs relative to the value of the car.

I don't own a house, I don't have any debt. I'm 8 years into my career and I've just now getting to building a positive net worth. I've put off so much medical/dental maintenance because of the cost and now it'll take half of my savings to fix all of it.

I know I'm doing a lot better than many folks my age. Top 10% for my age, but it sucks knowing that elsewhere in the world, they're doing some things so much better. It's one "benefit" of the internet connected world; we can see what everyone else is doing and how others solve hard social problems. Fixing those social problems in the US though, is continuing to be extremely difficult and we're still likely decades away from catching up to parts of Europe, and by then, we'll still be decades behind what they'd be doing then.

Sometimes I wonder if my life would feel better if I didn't know the term egalitarianism.
Maybe this helps students in the direct sense of modern academic career advancement, but I think it makes grad school a much more negative experience than it needs to be, and more broadly is a detriment to academic culture. I've encountered students that were forbidden from taking even a single class after they met (the very light) degree requirements, students who were not allowed to TA or volunteer mentor, students who had to sneak around just to finish analysis for a project they did with their previous lab, etc. This structure kills creativity and collaboration, and it results in a lot of graduates that have bare minimum teaching experience and no idea how to advise. Shocker that we've ended up with so many PIs that are really shitty managers!

A top neuro program in a major city will pay ~40K per year (and this is high relative to many other sciences). The rest of the compensation is health insurance and a meaningless "tuition" credit in order to register for a full "courseload" of research. Even at 40 hours per week that is shit compensation relative to what most of the students could be making elsewhere. The thesis project takes place over ~5 years, which is more than enough time to produce very good output on normal working hours. If students want to make their project their whole life fine, but as it stands there is way too much pressure coming from the top to do so, with minimal real benefits actually reaching the students.
Spirituality is not religion.

Imagine being "prescribed" 50mg of caffeine in the morning - certainly a therapeutic dose of a psychoactive chemical - but instead of taking an abstract pill, you are to incorporate the ritual of teamaking into your morning routine. You are to take the time to do it carefully and properly, and to savor the experience of drinking it, and to use the time to reflect on some aspect of life - perhaps one that your therapist suggests.

Is this not a plausibly useful treatment? Might you call the experience of venerating the act of making tea in some way spiritual? Spiritual things need not invoke nonsense - they just have to touch the human spirit.

To be fair, you should not have used "legally" in the sentence above. So there's the license, there's the author's wish, and there's the other party's wish, and both wishes are equally valid, they don't have to agree at all, what matters is the license.

Seems like companies are not obliged to honor this holiday. Personally I think national holidays are probably having a positive impact, because it will give almost all folks an opportunity to rest, maybe do a small vacation, so they’ll come back and be more productive or have spent some savings to boost the economy.

Rexolution – DBaaS (Database-as-a-Service)
Just two months ago I faced a common problem that developers run into when creating applications as a hobby, small projects, or sites like those hosted on Vercel or Netlify.
The problem is being forced to pay for database services such as RDS (Amazon) or clusters with an excessive cost in relation to what we really need.

Consenquently, I challenged myself to create a developer-friendly, cost-benefit convenient and simple UX database cloud service, called Rexolution.

Rexolution is based on containers and is managed from a web interface capable of restarting it, stopping it, restricting access to certain IPs and providing weekly backup, among other features.

Currently, the service is beta and should be tested at your own risk.
I am open to comments that allow us to build and evolve the product together with the community.

Join our beta today!

> Sure, why not? The market has been doing this itself every 10 years or so for a long time. It'd be just another form of bankruptcy. I have to say that it's truly odd to see someone lamenting a company going out of business on HN.

We're talking about government action forcing a company out of business, so extra-market action. If it was the market, I would probably err on the side of "it does what it does, and people should have paid attention", but if it's Tuesday and everyone is none the wider and Wednesday the government says your place of employment no longer exists by fiat, that's something else.

> I'm going to ignore the special pleading of "30K employees" and Walmart and the yada yada of extreme examples. Do those companies do what Moviepass did? Was Apple sufficiently punished in their wage-collusion case? I'd say no to both.

We're talking about legislating new laws in this case, and not a law about Moviepass, but a law about any company that finds itself doing similar things. You can't ignore how it affects other companies and situations, because that's how it will be applied, exactly as it was written or interpreted. The market provides nuance, because it's really myriad people making their own decision. Laws don't, they are interpreted by regulators and or lawyers, judges and juries. Any nuance needed needs to be spelled out.

> Corporate malfeasance is essentially legal, at least in the US.

Yes, which is why we were discussing ways to combat it. It's not like my position could in any way be construed as "don't do anything". In all cases, I was just arguing for a different, more targeted way to punish the company, and perhaps one which didn't provide poor incentives for discoverability of the crime.

To play devil's advocate... there is definitely a reason why a Goldman Sachs employee in NYC earns more than an employee at the same level in Salt Lake City.

Your salary is adjusted for cost of living where you are located, amongst many other things. You may not like it, but that's how it is. This whole talk about your home office being your space and so should be included in cost, OK cool. You are in West Virginia, a 2 br apt is ~$1000/mo, so how much is that home office you are making a fuss about? Say 500, that's $6000 a year. That is 2 month's rent in NY.

Other factors for higher pay in NY are immediate availability for in-person meetings with clients et al. Say what you want, but Zoom meetings will never be equal to in-person meetings for certain professions. Real closers will tell you that.

The same reason you feel you deserve more than a guy in India to do your job is the same reason a guy in NYC will tell you they deserve more to do their job.
I don’t really see the value in considering it a subclass of a string. Without decryption, the only meaningful “string-like” operations on it are equality (well, even that’s assuming that like strings share encrypted values, or equality is stored in a separate property). Why even make it a subclass of string in the first place?
