That would be a massive healthcare spending and logistical challenge with negligible reward. The system works pretty well given that state of Illinois had its first case in 67 years and even that was only because individual refused treatment.
I live in one of the few newer homes in an old mill town and it's great. I get to stroll the narrow streets, and admire the quaint architecture all around.

The locally quarried stone used for the walls of the oldest buildings (which obviously made things difficult for accommodating additions containing bathrooms and kitchens).

The charmingly narrow and irregular front doors on some houses, making it an impossible dream to move a typical new couch or appliance in.

The turnbuckles used to stabilize some houses after all these years, and those cables being one more thing to hit your head on.

Then I get home from a walk and enjoy the central air conditioning, tall ceilings, modern windows and level floors of my home. I know some of my neighbors in the older houses really enjoy them. They research the history of the houses and are enthusiastic about maintaining them and keeping things mostly original. The house basically becomes a hobby. Just about everybody likes looking at quaint old houses, so you have to find out if that's you or if you'd actually enjoy living in one too. I know I just like looking at them.
My grandfather starved himself to death in his 90s when gangrene started to take his feet. Pretty sure I know what "don't give a fuck" looks like, and rabies is NOT it.
Reminds me of US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). I don't need to be perfect, just consistently good enough.
I think the issue is that the interviewee doesn't always know what is on the "test". It is also a waste of everyone's time. If a company's only data store is SQL of some kind, which do you want: Someone who can barely do joins but has memorized red/black tree function implementations in several languages or some one who knows SQL at a production level and if they had to do something with red/black trees would just have to spend a day or two re-reading how they work? I think the thing this underscores is that we really need an association like the "bar". So you can go study all the things on the test and prove you have the knowledge and ability and then skip that as part of hiring and just focus on experience. The only thing we have today is tech company specific certification which is okay for certain things but not for more general software needs.
hi - just posted on the bug itself. I'm not sure what firewall zones are...but generally we need 2-FA to basically connect to a wireguard VPN.

I mean its a pretty straightforward usecase - but it doesnt work on any other wireguard system. And it would be a killer feature!
Ive been using mailgun since before they restricted the free tier to forward emails from my personal domain to my gmail (and respond to them with SMTP creds via gmail).

Thankfully my wildcard routes have been grandfathered when the change happened but I feel that my days are numbered on their service. Since I send/receive <100 emails/month, $35 is far too much for my simple use case.

Can anyone recommend a pay as you go, or a cheaper mail routing service that I can use this way?
Why don't more companies offer equity as an incentive to early adopters?
I was just reading about Marc Lore's new planned city Telosa (which is a fascinating take on Georgism) and was thinking about Jet and how they gave away stock to early adopters. Why hasn't this become more popular? https://www.thestreet.com/investing/jet-com-crowdfunding-model-just-turned-referrers-into-millionaires-13670053
Just as a counter-anecdote to "c'est impossible", when I was young and naive I went on a cycle tour from La Rochelle to Toulouse, thinking I could just book a train ticket with a bike from Toulouse to Paris and put my bike in the luggage carriage as you could at the time in the UK. In fact, technically, you had to take apart and box your bike before they'd allow you to put it on board. I arrived on the platform with my bike and spoke to the guard who told me what the rule was, looked up and down the mostly empty platform, and gestured towards the guard's van. Sometimes you get a Gallic shrug rather than "c'est impossible". (The difference may also be to do with Paris vs the rest of France, as tends to be the case with capital cities vs everywhere else in a country).
yes it would, just because it just so happened to take place at another lab does not mean the public and regulators are going to ignore the dangerous research other labs are conducting. No one wants to be the next Wuhan, but it's only a matter of time until the next coincidence happens in a city with a major lab.

A lab origin could not only tank their future prospects due to massive restrictions and funding bans, but it would also severely stigmatize their profession. They'll be viewed as Frankenstiens

Sorry for giving the wrong impression. My problem with the question is not that it is easy to answer. The problem is that it is easy to answer WHILE giving a bad impression of others.
Doesn't that kind of imply that everyone's opinions are equally valid? If 95% of your profession is on the same page with a certain practice then I'd argue it's really not reasonable to go against the grain without a very good reason.

I think "best practices" strikes a good balance between things that are personal preferences and things that are laws.
Hey all! Together with Stan Dehaene, we recently published a series of studies showing that, indeed, humans have sophisticated abilities at performing mental regression on scatterplots. Also, our data show that they do not minimize the vertical distance of the points to the fit but, instead, the orthogonal one (as in Deming regression). Here's the link to our publication: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001002852...

I am physically able, yes, but I am not legally allowed to. Since I am not given any permission (i.e. license) to do that.

> And the source is open, so you can check it out.

The term “open source” is used in two ways: the intelligence community reportedly uses it to refer to information sources which are publicly available, as opposed to secretly gathered information. The other use of the term “open source” is as defined by the OSI, who pioneered this new use.

The usual term for source code which is merely available for reading, and not much, if anything, else, is “source-available”¹.

I mean, when I was in the area in 2005-2007 pretzels cost USD 2.50 in Germany and USD 7 in Switzerland ...

There were also steep discounts for students and youth for almost everything -- I got a public transit pass for 50% off because I was under 23 at the time.
Reminds me of the UHF commercial for Spatula City.
Depends where you live I suppose. My daughter and two of her friends were in the woods with one of the moms a month or so ago, and one of the girls was bit by a presumably rabid raccoon. She went to the hospital, got treated, was released the next day and has been fine.

We don't live in a particularly dangerous area as far as rabies goes, and the county animal control guy was apparently surprised, but it just happens sometimes I guess. Fortunately it seems like the course of rabies treatment is not as difficult as it used to be assuming you get to the hospital in time.
On vanilla HN, a story is roughly 30 pixels in height with 5 pixels of whitespace between stories:

PostgreSQL 14 (postgresql.org) [20px tall]
399 points by jkatz05 2 hours ago [10px tall]
[5px spacer]

On Haxplore, a story is roughly 75 pixels tall with 32 pixels of spacing.

If you decide to implement a high density mode (I would make sure other users beside me want this before doing that work), the primary concern IMO is just cramming more stories onto the page so users can scan down the page to read more story headlines without scrolling.

That could be achieved many ways, but if it were me I would probably do a combo of reducing whitespace, reducing font size, and removing/consolidating story info (i.e. instead of URL having it's own line, move a truncated version of URL next to story title like vanilla HN does)

Agreed. I’d expand that a bit by saying

My Eight year journey of blogging about SQL and Java
As miserable as public transit is for us in the US, I could actually see this kind of deal succeeding in New York (and neighboring areas of Connecticut and New Jersey). Those in the city are constantly perplexed by the various county-run transit lines and costs, but some kind of single pass would actually make bus lines approachable to visitors (whereas they are only used by those who can't afford a car today).

Also, could this model be a response to a decline in ridership due to COVID? I don't know how these commuter lines fared in Europe, but I can only assume there were less folks traveling to a different area due to lockdown/remote work.
TIL about virtual net metering. It's time for me to read up.
"it is that way because that is the way it is..."

i absolutely love exposure and it's still on heavy rotation at chez criptid.
Hey sorry I had the wrong canonical meta tag so it was going to the wrong link. I hid that one and emailed HN to remove it. The link should be good now.
I recommend joining a smaller company or start-up, that way you have plenty of interesting things to work on, and won't be bogged down to being a "code monkey", as you can influence architectural decisions, and so on. It's the bigger companies with a very routine "process" that usually makes you feel like a line worker.
Use soapy water instead and watch for bubbles. Less exciting but much safer.
It's not just a lot of work, depending on how much you can automate irrigation and weeding, it's a fairly sure-fire bet that you cannot travel during the summer.
oh no doubt, getting around implicit bias and all that is hard and is training I've been through and try not to let get in the way. I've interviewed hundreds of people over the course of my career and I've had the greatest success in evaluating the soft skills of an engineer rather than their stated resume skills. For experienced engineers, I still ask technical questions to make sure they're not BSing their way in and have some knowledge of development. But college grads I really want someone with those soft skills.

Yes, it is slightly subjective, but not unquantifiable. You have to have shown me times you've done those things, not just say them.
I had already had, and mostly lost, interest in metal. Then I discovered Fredrik Thordendal’s Special Defects. Sounds like Opeth is a band I should check out!
Because it doesn't necessarily solve the problem of car journeys but costs a load. It might be fine for e.g. London but where I live, there is no public transport between my house and work (well, perhaps over about 3 hours compared to 30 minute drive) but even though my wife lives on a bus route, the times are less than hourly so she can't get to work for the right time, would get there an hour early or an hour and a half later!

If people still need to use their cars, it doesn't really work.
Yes, I think we sometimes use the term "Engineer" a little too liberally in the US. For example, sometimes the janitor of an office building is called a "Custodial Engineer" which often just gets shortened to "Engineer". I remember the first time I heard a coworker say, "I'll call the engineer to have the thermostat adjusted". I thought that was overkill, but then a guy in overalls showed up and it made a little more sense.
Off topic, but where did you get the idea for the design? I love it! Not something I get to see regularly.
That would indeed cut quite a cost (monetary and environmental) due to barriers, tickets, validation machines, selling points, controllers...
Folks weren't hoarding the masks, they were being bought and sent overseas, because the US didn't block exports, like for example China did.

Anyway, this whole hoarding issue can be elegantly side-stepped by not outsourcing mask production and stockpiling. I assume the US government was aware of the possibility of pandemics (likely flu), just like everyone else on the planet was.
I spent one year (gap internship) in Vorarlberg, the yearly price was about €400.

They had a 50% discount if you were under 26

And a (cumulable) 50% first-time only discount if you already had a driver license

I ended up paying €100 for a card that allowed me to ride any train or bus in the region for one year, whenever I wanted. I ended up biking most of the time, but I did commute by train for a while. In the end I didn't use it that much, but buying it was a no-brainer.

I should also mention that some of the train lines you could take crossed the Swiss and German borders.
It's similar to database backups - hopefully you'll never need it, but at some point you might. At that point you'd hope your data was intact
> They seem to have less points of failure to me - they're fully encapsulated (usually glued shut)

This just means they're harder to repair? That's not a reduced point of failure in really any sense.

Wired headphones are some wires, solder, also often glue, and a driver. Wireless headphones have batteries, internal computers that need to communicate wirelessly with devices and - in the case of True Wireless Earbuds - themselves, and in general more parts that are more delicate crammed into the same or smaller space.

> don't have to physically interface with anything less than simple metal charging pads. Compared to physically being shoved into something and yanked out and a cable that is being manipulated.

What a strange point. Unless you're wirelessly charging some AirPods then... You're gonna have to charge those things with a physical cable. That will have to be, as you so hyperbolically put it, "shoved into something and yanked out."

Fortunately, any decent headphones worth your money anticipate such rude treatment and have their cables be easily replaceable.

Wireless headphones can't be said to do the same for their batteries that will inevitably wear out.
because that is an open source initiative(they can't exxacerbate development costs, and because it would be a barrier of adoption to their target base: rich, "eco" conscious people.
They chose that path because it enabled them to be water proof and still user repairable.

Also, for a less bulky design.
If everybody were vaccinated for every disease that poses a risk greater than or equal to rabies, we'd spent half our lives waiting in line at vaccination centers.
When I visited Germany, they had cleverly ditched most "gateline staff" like you say but then had a reasonable number of ticket inspectors who would check you had a ticket and it was stamped for the current day. Best of both worlds?
I don't know, I find those exercises to be satisfying in their own right. I have enough technical knowledge to problem-solve in a domain that most average people would be completely lost in, in the same way that I'd be lost trying to fix my own car or do my own plumbing. It doesn't need to be glamorous to be enjoyable.
Then they should have not released a new phone, but a new board for the FP3(+).

They are not a regular company that needs to do such moves, and besides: The Framework laptop shows that there usually is a way, despite what companies say.
There is subversive power in choosing what to connect
Considering the much-touted "quantum supremacy" achievement was extremely contrived, it seems like the hype has gotten far ahead of the reality.
I did say that to be fair, I just omitted it from the post.

The question was more of a jumping off point for my thoughts on the practices vs. preferences question.
> Airplanes are also stuffed like sardine cans with people, some of whom may be contagious. Not even N95 would save you after 5 hours in that environment

Airplanes shove the air from their cabin through hospital-or-grade air filters every 1.5-2 minutes (that is, the amount of time air can "hang" before being filtered maxes at 2 minutes if on the lowest setting, 1.5 on a normal setting. Those filters will catch the particles half the size of COVID at at least 99.99%. Also, the airflow is designed to get replaced with air from outside the plane regularly, and airflow is designed to really be isolated in any 3 seat element (obviously, not exclusively, but most air is only going to be shared with your neighbors.

Being on an actual airplane is probably one of the safer places to be indoors. Everyone knows about contagion on cruise ships. Why aren't there stories about airborne outbreaks on airplanes?
Jesus an SF Muni pass costs $1176 per year and doesn't even get you out of the city of San Francisco.
Train travel in the UK is absurdly expensive unless you're willing to book a few months in advance and travel off-peak. Train travel in Spain is much better and cheaper. AFAIK in terms of price it mostly has to do with how much governments are willing to subsidise rail transport.
> One price for the whole family

Why not make it free? It's a public service after all, and it's hard to "abuse" transportation like one can use "too much" free water/electricity.
Vernor Vinge uses the term "Programmer-Achaeologist", which feels appropriate to any time we're doing software maintenance. If I'm truly creating something new I'd go with "Software-Alchemist" since the practice feels much more in line with the efforts of alchemists to fumblingly come to grips with actual chemistry than with modern engineering.

After reading about practices at JPL during the development of Curiosity, and the earlier work on Apollo (just two examples) I do think there is such a thing as an engineering practice of software development. I just don't think most of us are using it.
In the UK, most people who are employed do not file taxes, they are handled by the employer. Other people whose only income is benefits also do not file taxes.
That article is from a few years after the first successful attempt at treatment. While enormously involved and expensive, with a low probability of success and a near certainty of moderate to severe neurological damage, it appears that the general treatment approach used for Giese has since resulted in further survivors, such that there have now been around a dozen survivors out of a few dozen post-symptomatic treatment attempts.

Thank you for liking it :D

1. The alt+h hotkey will be probably be replaced by "?". That should fix this.

2.1 That's a pretty cool idea. Would you want the "mark as read" part to happen automatically or manually?

2.2 Showing new/unread comments is also a cool idea but it will increase the amount of requests to the HN api. However I'm gonna look into it.

Wrapping it in a Tauri might be cool, because I actually wanted to try that. But I think the first step would be to make it a PWA, so you can install it without downloading anything.

Thank you for the feeback!
That's £936 which buys you 5.5 monthly Oyster travel cards in London for zones 1-3. Rip-off Britain, anyone? I've been to Austria 3 times in the last 10 years and every time I come away with the impression that the UK is a backwards, impoverished nation in comparison. The sense of civic pride in Austria and Germany is the first thing you notice, especially the management of rents and planning standards.
The GNU implementation of 'yes' looks like a meme, true. And FSF behaves sluggish, true. The rants about the bash and glibc lack actual foundation. Same for the comparsion with C++. And there is nothing wrong with long options or adding more useful options.

1956

Thanks the the consent decree from 1956 AT&T wasn't allowed to enter new markets and license patents royalty free, what we got was UNIX and C and open code. They regulated AT&T positively! Probably the best thing the United States Department of Justice did. They ditched capitalism and everything got better by magnitudes!

1983

The US Department of Justic setteled a consent degree with AT&T. Probably the worst thing the Department of Justice did. They allowed them to split up and do whatever they would. Full capitalism! Since then the US have seen no market regulation. What followed wear UNIX-Wars, lawsuits and finally companies like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple.

You want blame someone? Blame the government. But I see two lessons. The regulation has worked. Single fines (punishment) or splitting about doesn't. AT&T is again the largest telecommunication company and UNIX was busted.

I'm thankfully for what we learned from UNIX, that POSIX gave us some guidelines in the past, the C Language and finally all the descendants - Linux, GNU, C++, GCC, BSD Network Stack and GCC...and finally LSP (works wonderfull with NEOVIM and CLANG).
Many benchmarks fail to capture that if one were programming for speed, intel CPUs seem to be the default option by virtue of the intel compiler, unless you use a HDL [1]. It's quite interesting how hardware manufacturers have been able to capture market share due to their software offerings, see NVIDIA with CUDA for almost any deep learning library.

My comment is about the focus being almost 100% on user experience, the fair phone is about much more than that. It's exactly the lack of diversity that was bothering me.
Yeah, on thinking about it, seems like you're right.

Too bad, I can no longer think of any then. I think ballistic computers were at one point analog, but those should all be obsoleted now.
Yes I did not see that sorry.
Yes, but it's not exactly that you have a lot of choice for where you work, for example.

One would think that a group of people so familiar with Latin would understand the potential consequences of this. That the masses were able to read Protestant literature but unable to read Catholic literature was one of the major factors that allowed the Reformation to occur.

I've always used "best practices" as a nicer way of saying "commonly accepted". It's not really developer preferences -- there are a number of best practices that I don't prefer as a developer.

Understanding Awk
Apple does multiple SKUs, too, such as the 7 or 8 core GPU options for the M1. They can otherwise mostly get away with fewer SKUs by currently not really having either a budget option of the M1 (eg, no 6 core CPU variant) nor a high end option. That'll almost certainly change as they roll out Apple silicon to the iMac Pro & Mac Pro.

The fewer SKUs therefore isn't a result of impressive engineering but rather impressive profit margins. They just don't care about salvaging mostly-working silicon as much as Intel, AMD, and now Ampere.
