The problem with Google Pay in Germany, for me at least, is that it doesn't support many banks that my friends and I use.
It's not normal for everyone to have a credit card here in Germany and I had to get one to be able to use GPay as well. In the meantime my bank built a crappy NFC payment app as well and told all customers to use this, while one iOS they support Apple Pay

I would love to see some sort of open payment protocol on android and iOS that banks would need to use, which might even have some special features like digital receipts etc
As a person with disability, I have a chunk of experience when it comes to being patronised. I can tell you one thing: the giving end usually does not realize they are patronising. Either because they are too conservative to grok the concept at all, or too dumb to realize they have to treat others as equals if they dont want to come across as full of themselves. Usually, if I confront them with their actions, they react like you just did. "Oh no, not me, you are wrong, and you need to change."

I know what you mean, but I would think it's also racist a lot of times. I know of a case where a friend who is german, born in Germany, just that one of the parents is an immigrant. He has a C-level job at a medium sized company and he was stopped together with a colleague while going to have lunch, while dressed as someone at that level would dress, because some old lady said that some foreign looking people were acting suspiciously (it wasn't them). They put them through some humiliating experiences, not believing they work where they work and harassing them.

In the same time I also have some "hacker" type friends that were constantly being stopped by the police, even though they were white, but they just have a questionable fashion taste compared to the general population.

> Exponential growth in positive tests doesn't imply infinite (limited only by the size of the population itself) exponential growth of severe cases or deaths.

Correct!

but when in the growth phase we can't know when it will stop. We have a fixed[1] upper bound on the number of people we can deal with at one go. so when we see we are getting close, we have to take drastic action.

We know that testing in the uk is a proxy for actual infection, it tends to favour symptomatic as its "self selecting". The ONS survey is more accurate but has a significant lag.

I really hope that you are correct about asymptomatic. but we can't be sure, yet.

Good to hear! I wonder how car drivers would react if an uber delivery guy would park a bicycle in the car lane next to a bicycle lane to make a delivery.

And while I do agree that it isn't uniquely unfair for bicycles, it seemes that when there is no isolation between a car lane and a bicycle lane, during the busy hours there is a random car, van, taxi parked every 30-50 meters. (Well, used to be, 2 years ago)
Something even more dangerous, if you have iCloud Drive enabled and open a (non-cloud) file in Numbers or Pages it'll save a copy in iCloud while you're editing it - it deletes it when you close it so you might even notice unless you go into iCloud on the web and check recently deleted files.
In theory a trackball is nice (I've used one for years). Your wrist can rest while your fingers do the moving, and it keeps rotational momentum after you lift your fingers, making long movements easier. However, your fingers will always be a little sweaty and the ball will deposit that on the wheels inside the device that transmit the movements. Keeping those clean over time can be quite a chore, but if you don't clean them the transmission will become unreliable.

If a trackball could be magnetically suspended so it floats without touching anything and still transmit its movements, that would be perfect. You'd only have to clean the ball itself once in a while, and that would be easy enough.

To just slow down ocean accidification, what is really needed is behavioural change - on the consumer level, incited by government and the production nobility.
And that behaviour has to be very non-protestant - sit at home all day and watch tv and play. Electronic media is by far the best thing that can happen to the planet. Instead of consuming infinite ressources, all the evil upstart monkeys did, was stare at a coloured lights hypnotized all day.

As long as you don’t have any dependencies between the services.

But as soon as you do, which is probably the case, you end up doing method calls over HTTP and you need to have a strategy for refactoring two services at the same time that can be online at the same time but with different versions.

> Germany masked, distanced, and locked down better than anyone could expect

There was never anything even remotely close to a total lockdown here. Too afraid that telling people not to got to work might hurt the economy.

What Germany got "right" was mostly things done long before the pandemic, e.g. investment in a large number of hospitable beds, as well as public health insurance and flexible sick days guaranteed by law so sick people can actually afford to stay at home.

Yeah, that was one of the biggest atrocities of the pandemic. Not only is it immorral to give false medical advice, this has also been responsible for more people (rightfully) mistrusting later recommendations. There should be leaders stepping down over this.

> As far as making the vaccines political, well they don't have to be. some research has shown that they don't do very well at stopping spread, so why all the fuss to force people to get vaccinated? just say do it for yourself if you want to, politics removed.

I agree, forcing people to get vaccinated (and that includes excessive restrictions to those not vaccinated) is not the way to go.
> I've never had a Java IDE insert something like that?

yeah this indeed happens with checked exception and careless developers just wanting to get stuff to compile (we'll handle that property later) and the IDE helpfully providing the boilerplate that resolves the compilation error (and assumes you'll fill the body)

I believe you, but I have not seen it. On the contrary, I have seen people berated for using the word.
I created a little python script that took a list of domains and created various misspellings of those domains, checked for MX records set for them.

I ran this on a list of "sensitive domains" (law authorities, government agencies etc). For example there were 2-3 domains for misspellings of "polisen.se" (the Swedish police) that had MX records set and were presumably receiving some emails they shouldn't.

The full size blimp is only 60ft long, and is intended to carry 650lb, so not anywhere near a shipping container. Also I'm not sure it's important that it be able to pick up or even drop off autonomously. It's getting the cargo from point A to point B that's the hard part. If they can do that cost effectively, that's plenty to have a very viable business.

Furthermore, if the corona virus does not exhibit the same symptoms which are a consequence of an infection of the respiratory tract, then transmission will be very different and probably significantly lower which does not fit the data, i.e. mass infections in the wild.
That space behind me is not useful to me. My food is still crammed up in the < wedge of the now-greatly-slanted back seat and horizontal tray table. My in flight entertainment screen is now angled down, playing a movie for my belly rather than my eyes.

I cannot open a laptop, because that "relcaimed" space behind me is not the same type of space and is frankly useless to me.

Your argument is why humanity is becoming less civil and intelligent. People aren't thinking. One person shouts, so everyone around him shouts. Now everyone is shouting. The correct answer would have been for the loud moron to speak at a lower volume.

And finally, your argument fails because the last seat in the airplane usually cannot recline. So if you want to be fair, that precludes the person in front of him from reclining, and so on to the front of the plane.
Probably a ball with a fine black and white grid pattern and a fast imaging sensor could be used to achieve this. So long as it's sending updates at around 100hz, should be pretty performant.

Edit: Could also probably be something that's alternating bright and dark in IR so the ball doesn't look weird.
> Since Go makes errors a return value you have to actively discard the result (by replacing it with a underscore, e.g. `res, _ := getResults()`) or take the time to handle the error.

This is a bad thing because it’s not narrow. It’s like a language’s “catch” statement not allowing you to catch specific exceptions. Once someone has decided to throw away an error with the underscore assignment, all future errors the underlying might return are swallowed as well.

In other words, it takes even more boilerplate to have narrower error exemptions than to have the generic exemption.

> It seems to me that the result is more errors are properly handled in Go - because they are explicit - while uncaught exceptions often cause bugs that make it to production.

An error in go that is blindly returned all of the way up the stack has no difference with an uncaught exception.

You are limited to WebKit rendering engine and JavaScriptCore, so practically all non-Safari browsers are more or less just a different skins of Safari.
I think one difference between Rust and OCaml is that in Rust non exhaustive pattern matches are an error, while in OCaml they are a warning.
It is but that assumes that the ops guys who are using it actually keep it up to date which is why we no longer use it.

Always the human factors that kill something.
This is another amazing blog post by Matt Ferraro. You may remember his post last month about Poisson's Equation.

For the past 2 blog posts, see: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=mattferraro.dev
Last time I wrote go you could write `doThingAndMaybeReturnErr()` without the `_ =`. Has this changed?

The alternative is Zig or Rust's thing, where you still have explicit error handling but you don't repeat the same four lines all the time. This is maybe helpful because in Go one has to read those lines carefully to see if anything unexpected is happening.
If you have decided to go microservices the most important part to have is good tooling to handle them.

Log tracing over multiple services, how to get an address of another service, deploy services independently from each other, track deployed versions of services, multi instance handling of same service, etc.

If you don’t have great tooling you will struggle.
Btw if you are interested in configuring line endings in the git config for good, you might find this tool handy:

https://hediet.github.io/git-line-endings/

A github action brute forces all combinations of line endings and tries out what happens on checkout etc.
> Why would you claim this? There are no limitations on web browsers.

All browsers on iOS must use the WebKit browser engine making them, in essence, safari clones with a different look and feel.
Apple forces all third party browsers on iOS to use WebKit, so really everything has to use safari’s rendering engine.
In your example, it should be an error because it’s an environmental problem (could be file system permissions). Sure, it could be a developer fail where they hardcoded the wrong path (surely any kind of testing would pick this up?) but it’s still an error in the environment where had the path been correct it could fail due to something the user misconfigured. So it needs to be handled as a user facing error.

Exceptions do exist in Go, it’s called “Panic”. This whole “Go doesn’t have exceptions” meme is completely untrue. It’s just not the preferred way of error handling because, unsurprisingly, most application errors are going to be environmental. But if you select an out of bounds index in a slice or don’t handle a nil pointer correctly you’d get a panic — because those are clearly developer issues that warrant a stack trace rather than environmental problems that need a friendly user facing error message.
Is Apple’s sin, here, assuming that when you sign into iCloud, you want to use iCloud?
Poor analogy. The horn is a safety feature, and of course basic, as it serves as a warning mechanism. In addition, if you live in a civilized area and not the wild west, you should be calling the authorities, not cause further troubles via getting "vulgar and upset".

The reclining seat on an airplane is designed to be reclined - it has 2 modes: upright and reclined, at the passenger's preference. Its usage is not a safety feature, it's an option built into it and the price you pay for the ticket.

If you are bothered by it, you can always recline your seat and reclaim your space. Literally.

Anything competitive is useless
Stupid question: how do you handle air resistance on a windy day? I always thought that's what made blimps inherently uneconomical (though can also imagine maintenance costs are high). An airplane has very little drag compared to its lift capacity. I don't really know, but expect a blimp to be terrible in comparison. Fine for stationary lifting, but expensive when you want to move things horizontally, against the wind.
