Isn’t the alternative I see oft bemoaned here that if you don’t pay, you are the product? I’ve been content to pay them for a couple years, hoping it keeps them updating and ad-free. Thus, I don’t think there was a change in terms of the de

I think you're being downvoted since you are rhetorically asking questions people have already beat to death. The main two answers being (a) each virus behaves differently, so extrapolation should be done carefully, and not just from y

I think I recall reading that study and seeing it compared people who took zinc with HCQ with people in the hospital and concluded that people in the hospital died more often than mostly healthy people. Hardly what I would call useful infor

IANAL, but I think they could retroactively claim the code in the archive was not legally their right to push under that license. That is the same principle that stops me from going further, say, and copying their APSL code into a GPL progr

I think what continues to surprise me (after talking about these for months now) is his underlying assumption that the third choice is a likely option. While the continued rate of spread seems to suggest to me that really we have a near bin

Presumably? They are not a socialistic public good, they are a capitalistic company whose goal is to make themselves profit. It is not their job to make you money. Capitalism works because trade is not a zero sum game, so it is normally pos

Ah, gotcha. Who actually holds that idea though? I don't think expressing concern that the hype over hydroxychloroquine is misguided and wasting resources equates to an assumption that all drug research is futile on their part. Indeed,

Did you read the article? It is literally investigating a possible mitigation using a generic drug that is not a vaccine. I strongly suspect doctors are even treating sick patients currently, and not just telling them to wait for a vaccine.

I'm not a doctor or medical training, but have attempted to do limited meta-research of my own (generally just building on what others have already written for months now about it). I think there's good reason people are still ske

My recollection (without references) is that they can do some amount of guess work. They might see the stack says A->C, but can see the code of A actually calls B, so logically it must have been A->B->C at some point. Or you can us

Consider that some processors were too small to fit a stack. Some languages (notably BASIC), only had what you might call 'static' variables (to use the C name), so when you recursed into them, the variables would be shared across

Having kids? Probably not. Raising them? Probably yes. Same with fingers: having them is more interesting if they can do something novel with them (say, play an instrument). But this being HN, I know plenty of people that travel a lot (no i

His post said he sets the alarm for 6-7 hours. And I’d agree with this reply to just plan more sleep initially, and (if you can) skip the alarm. Why? I have had the same experience as him with resuming dreams, and know that the “cure” for m

A mutex lock will still be modeled as an aliasing read/write of all global memory. So you’re fine.

I think you misunderstood the v0.x scoping algorithm. In v0.x, there were 3 scoping situations described in the documentation (function, toplevel, and outer). In v1.0, there was essentially 1 (plus clarifications on what a variable was &quo

Yeah, those seem like very different stories. That old people with health conditions are likely to die isn’t exactly news. If younger people with high exposure frequency became much likelier to die if becoming sick, that could be very notab

Hm, I'm willing to pay hundreds of dollars to buy a special pan that doesn't preheat, so I could cook the steak through first, then sear. Maybe I've been doing this wrong! Or maybe there's a Cinder Grill rep here that ca

vim 7+ keeps an ‘undo tree’ that permits this (it can also be instructed to keep it in a file to persist across sessions). It’s helpful to install a visualization extension to seek around easier ( https://stackoverflow.com/qu

That sounds like a cool idea. Sadly, I tried it from my current (moderately rural) location and discovered the shortcomings of its knowledge of the local map. Best route is to run around the neighborhoods, but it doesn’t know that there’s a

Anecdotally, my impression was that Waze users tend to prefer routes that keep you moving and engaged (by making turns), while Google maps has tended towards picking equally fast routes but that might be more stop-and-go and boring.

I think his point was that these symptoms could be correlation, not causation. So you need to work to prevent each of them as you age. (Eg that flossing is good for your oral health, even though it might have no influence on other factors a

Honest question: but what’s the threat model for wanting an OS to block this? I’ve so far only thought of leaking IP address and Bitcoin mining. But any website already easily has both capabilities (with somewhat arbitrary open sockets afte

That sound pretty cool! I eventually did something similar to that and built something alike to `make -p`, by hand, that was also a bit like `./configure` or CMakeCache.txt. It could then be read back into `make` and bypass a fair bit

On the subject of good tricks, I like to put this debugging snippet in all my Makefiles. It supports typing `make print-VAR1 print-VAR2` and it'll dump the values of VAR1 and VAR2 (this could be extended to also show `$(flavor $star)`

Linux has the O_TMPFILE flag to open, for which this is one of the use cases described in the man page. I can’t say about “guaranteed” though. I assume Microsoft Transactional NTFS (TxF) also had (or has) this capability—but deprecated.
