Smallpox only spread in Europe starting in the 15th century. Before that it was known mostly in Asia (China and India). It was probably the increased trade with Asia that was responsible for spreading smallpox in Europe.
This isn't talking about a hello world level application this is talking about an application managing complex state at scale.

I assure you that the problem set slack, people working on Fortnite servers etc is not the same problem set as a network programming illustration even if it's the same start point.
Great explainer of the significance of this study by Goncalo Abecasis. Basically human gene knock-outs, courtesy of mother nature.

The data is so rich that we had no more than a single paragraph to summarize association signals relevant to cancer and brain function. Ouch. A tweet won’t do them justice, but @uk_biobank will be sharing all the data with researchers for follow-up.
Yeah, if you make money on a trade it means you were right about the business.

The investors in Enron were right too, until it went bankrupt.

Nothing is proven until the end. I do think Tesla has a large advantage in many respects, and a visionary leader is difficult for more legacy companies to overcome.

I can think of many ways they can expand their margins well beyond traditional auto.

But share price does not speak to any long term truth. Just a snapshot of public expectations of the truth.
Empire was one of my favorite games and really got me into strategy games. I even made a clone many years ago just to practice programming. And now D is my favorite language - it just feels natural to use.

So, I just want to say thanks for creating two big influences in my life. I hope you keep working on D, and for what it's worth, I do try to promote it as much as I can.

I do have one question: I contribute to the D Language Foundation through my Amazon purchases and would like know if those types of contributions are helping. And are you getting the support necessary to keep working on the compiler for a long time to come?
Thank you! I'm glad to hear my project is working well for you on the upcoming Qubes R4.1 (currently untested by myself). To the best of my knowledge, no official QWT build exists yet for R4.1, so yes, building it yourself is the way to go for now. Also, good to know QWT is fully operational on the latest version of Qubes.

It’s worth remembering that for a lot of “A to B” trips the change in location is kind of incidental to the actual goal of shopping, socializing, dining out, etc.
In other words you if locate a lot of “B”s close to your “A” (or vice versa) people will tend to be satisfied with slower modes like walking and biking (that also reduce the energy needed by a couple of orders of magnitude).

Japan Considers a Semiconductor Fund to Support TSMC
It has been within our technical capabilities to totally seal off the land border since WWII. What is lacking is the will to do so. There are many reasons we let the borders leak, that aren't too hard to figure out.

Seismic, Infrared, Radar, and other monitoring systems could be deployed and ALL land crossings would be known soon enough to stop anyone crossing. Of course, a shoot on sight order is the part nobody has the stomach for, nor should they, we're not at war.

Naval patrols could greatly curtail routing around the ends.

Capability based security could greatly curtail the leverage you get from access to a given computer. The current default access systems we're using everywhere are about as effective as building a fortress out of crates of C-4 explosive.
"Car free" is a straw man that's easy to argue against, and misses the point. Rather, most urbanists call for cities that are fair to all who inhabit it, regardless of whether they are currently inside of a car. A bus that carries 50 ought to have priority over several cars that carry 1 apiece. Neighbourhoods should not be artificially embalmed in time by excessive zoning rules to only allow car-dependent architecture. People who live in a city should have an actual choice in terms of what density and transportation mode is best for them. (That definitely includes single family homes and cars). That'll obviously be different from person to person, and even more obviously that'll change over one's lifetime. So make a city liveable and navigable and interesting for those who are 8, 80 and everything in between. Make that the goal, and you'll be heading in the right direction.
There’s a flag that Mac application developers can set indicating whether their application can handle the extra screen space when in full screen mode. There are three modes, on off and null (the default). On = application uses that space however the developer chooses, off = black bar, null = user-configurable, with black bar by default. Sadly I’m on mobile and can’t find the Apple’s developer documentation for the flag, I saw it on HN the other day.
The Intel macs were extremely slow. Even a core i9 16 inch ran hot and noisy. A small xps 13 felt much faster in general use. I don't know if this was deliberate by Apple or just a side effect of the extremely anemic cooling.

So all those people who had been using macbooks felt the speed when they used a decently fast laptop. Everybody else knows that M1 laptops are fast, like non-apple laptops have been for quite some time.

A lot of them are picked up in a box at Lowes (or Depot or Ikea).

Facebook is not owned by Zuck he is just a CEO. I thought this is obvious so didn't stress this fact writing Zuch but meaning FB. Facebook is a public company and as such this company is owned by public. When I say Zuck does not have freedom I mean that facebook stacked holder do not have freedom, they either accept the rule pushes by the government or loose their investment i.e. loose the company, Zuch has nothing to do with it.

30x efficiency is specifically for 16 bit FP DGEMM operations, and it is in the context of an HPC compute node including GPUs and any other accelerators or fixed function units.

Look, the fact is, even in places with excellent public transport, the car is still the best way to travel short of helicopter. How do we know this? Look at the rich and powerful of New York, they are driven to their destinations, they don't take the subway, and if they do, it's notably unusual.

You can have a separate system, even a locally running desktop app do that. You can still have a database, complex HTML templating, and image resizing! You just do it offline as a preprocessing step instead of online dynamically for each page view.

Unfortunately, this approach never took off, even though it scales trivially to enormous sites and traffic levels.

I recently tried to optimise a CMS system where it was streaming photos from the database to the web tier, which then resized it and even optimised it on the fly. Even with caching, the overheads were just obscene. Over a 100 cores could barely push out 200 Mbps of content. Meanwhile a single-core VM can easily do 1 Gbps of static content!
> Even famously “mass transit unfriendly” cities can be fit for a car-free lifestyle if you work at it.

I think it's such a pervasive meme that the US is bad for transit that people don't even try. I don't ever use cars (like twice in 450 days) AND I live beside one of the major transport hubs in my city (65/Folsom in Sacramento), yet I don't know where or when buses could bring me.

There is a dearth in communication.

I was in Orlando last week and the buses were great, and empty.

I'm a native austinite who's lived on the east coast for nearly a decade (boston and now NYC). Salaries aren't that great in Austin in regards to companies that actually reside here. If you have a nice remote salary, sure Austin can look decent - but this year things got really expensive, to the point that the delta between NYC and Austin isn't that large for a 1br apt. Comparing a "city" like Austin to NYC is also a complete joke in terms of the values both culturally and networking wise they provide.

Where you live and work is about more than "average salary" it's about networking and where the money is. The money is without a doubt not really in austin.
>I just see more liberties being lost, more censorship, more violations of the second amendment, more violations of federalism and states rights and so on.

Curious, if you didn't also see that under Trump, or would have expected less of it under him, given how little he fought against it during his first term. If you were expecting a second Trump term to include a repeal of all gun laws, a rollback of Federalism, the end of American surveillance or some kind of widespread social free speech revolution leading to a libertarian minarchist utopia, I suspect you haven't been paying attention to who the person sitting in the Oval Office actually was.

What I saw was Trump undermining the COVID response by sowing fear and paranoia and going pants-shitting insane about imaginary communists stealing his votes, encouraging superspreaders and anti-maskers and stop-the-steal rioters, and ranting like a lunatic on Twitter. And that notwithstanding the circus that was his first term.

But to be clear - no one voted for Biden in this last election. No one on the left likes him, and the further left you go, the more the left hates him. People just voted for or against Trump, and to me it seemed like an obvious choice. As always with politics, your mileage may vary.

Do you have a link? I am curious if the researchers controlled for income.
Actually no, that's not the intellectual level at which any science is performed, let alone population genetics and molecular genetics. Do you perhaps see the irony in making such a grotesquely arrogant suggestion yourself? People working on population genetics and molecular genetics, who came to the conclusion that much DNA has no phenotypic relevance, were doing so based on several decades of literature and 10-20+ years of their own education and scientific training. Would you care to give your own qualifications in this field?
Seems like the sort of thing that wants to be a game. If you asked me to name a successful "urban exploration" startup, I'd probably name Pokemon Go and maybe Groupon.

The former isn't a "startup" companywise, and the latter isn't one now, but both were certainly novel, and strongly adjacent to the space under discussion. They both got people out of their homes and offices and into unfamiliar parts of town. My guess is the ultimate winner will find a way to hit both the Pokemon Go and Groupon psychological buttons at once.
You can call it shit, turds, or feces -- it's all the same thing.

That having been said, thanks for responding with data. It's uncommon on this site, and great to see.
> The computer is supposed to make our lives better, we should not be required to make the computer’s (or programmers’) life better

Yes... The computer is at fault for not supporting proper names... That's literally what everyone has said. Nobody blamed the user....

> Your attitude reminds me of the people in the 60s who included punch cards in the utility bills, marking them “DO NOT FOLD, SPLINDLE, OR MUTILATE” (it became a meme).

The problem should be fixed, but it's not victim blaming to tell someone how to still submit their bill.

> And you are saying that somehow I am at fault?

No... I'm literally saying the opposite.... I think you need to reread your comment, then my comment.

Telling you to omit those characters so you can still travel internationally is not blaming you in any way shape or form... Your criticism of practical advice being victim blaming is harmful and unhelpful.
I wonder how many HN readers have no direct experience with a typewriter? Probably quite a few. This is a good description.

At least some (Royals I think) there was a lever on the right that you would operate for CR (carriage return) and line feed. Pull a little bit to the left, and it would feed a single line, pull the remainder, and it would return the carriage, so you could just do a couple of short pulls and advance a couple of lines more precisely than yanking the paper.
The problem is that now it's hydrogen's turn to do the same with batteries. Tesla is facing it's own disruptive threat, something it is completely unprepared to deal with.
I guess he is alluding to effects of rounding up/down in small samples but those cannot be biased in one direction. Nor are they certain to happen.

If I toss 9 quarters and a nickel and count the fraction of tails that rolled on the nickel then it will be equal to 1/10 of all the tails only if all coins roll tails or all roll heads i.e. in 2 outcomes out of 1024. In half of the other cases nickel tails will be overrepresented and in in the other half - underrepresented. It's because you cannot roll a fraction of a tail.
Mostly agree, but I think both (vaccinating poor + public service vaccination requirements) can be part of a holistic public health strategy.

>Pinterest, which people use to save images to digital pinboards, makes money by selling ads. Since many of its “pins” are products, the company offers “Buyable Pins” so users can shop directly inside its app. Instagram, the photo-sharing app owned by Facebook, has recently made a similar push into e-commerce.

I wonder if shifting the site's focus would make it less or more obnoxious in image searches, which is the only interaction it seems most of us have with Pinterest.

Here's hoping reducing its spam-like footprint would improve their bottom line, and as a side effect improve its reputation among annoyed otherwise-potential customers. I'm not hopeful, though. I definitely wouldn't invest on this news.

Nothing is stopping you from building a castle on your property now. My guess is the difference in price is about 5-fold - and the castle will need tons of costly repairs to adapt to whatever the favored amenities are.

I've lived in really old buildings. Even if the bricks on the outside were over 100 years old it was extremely expensive to update the air conditioning and windows to be a good living experience. Why take such a superficial view of what is "built to last" just because the outside stays the same? Best case scenario for a long last building is a ship of theseus situation. And while it may be cost efficient for historic college campuses to renovate their old buildings continuously, chances are this not applicable to random middle class homeowners.
