Can’t use due to the pihole on my network, wich is set up for anti-tracking (privacy) mainly. Since it’s supposed to be anonymous I’m a bit surprised. Might check out what it’s blocking on the site, but probably won’t bother. Most sites work fine.

Otack är världens lön.

If we want to argue semantics, sure, but (at least in my experience) a PR is by far the most common way. And from the linked article, they seem to say that pair programming is the ideal, but that continuous code reviews bring most of the same benefits. Sounds good to me. But. I’m still convinced that just doing proper pair programming from the start saves time for the organization, it’s just that the upfront investment seems too great. (I’d argue that spending 2x programmer time is easily the cheapest way to get a feature done, and if you think you are saving costs/being more productive doing solo dev + code review you’re not accurately measuring time spent. (Or that the review is very superficial.))

Pair programming is sooo much better than PR’s. I really loathe reviewing pull requests, no matter if you do it absolutely correct, and don’t miss anything, it’s extremely wasteful of the time of both the coder and the reviewer, even if there are no changes that need to be made. There is the context switch for the reviewer, ditto for the coder, waiting for feedback. Ugh. Just have two people do the work together, and lose the need for constant context switches and wasted time.

Me too, far too often. Those developers are most often negative contributors...

Who involved really is better off, after hearing of the ”solution” to this crime? Except for maybe the police department, possibly a detective with an itch to scratch, and definitely the firm used for the genealogical dna profile (mentioned by name in the article), I can think of no one.

Even though it took quite I while, I feel like many(!) law professionals are starting to ”get” intellectual property law and understand the internet, so this ruling will most likely be overturned in the next instance.

Nowadays this kind of ruling is a surprising but it’s a small court and not really significant. Back in the 90’s and 00’s you could almost bet on all courts making draconian rulings like this, but the general internet literacy of law professionals has surely (and finally) changed for the better :)

What the article forgets to mention is that there is a world power (cough China cough) which would use all its (social-) media manipulation skills and influence to make sure that the lab leak theory was written off as crazy conspiracy talk… Under those circumstances, and without a concerted effort by the US and other democracies to counter China’s preferred narrative, no wonder that the debate turned very lopsided.

Looks cool! …but what is it? Software, hardware or both? (And is the software part a Linux distro with a tweaked kernel?)

Very good! I usually don't test out any demos here on HN, and I was really supposed to be going to bed, but the web version of your game delayed that for 45 minutes. Really enjoyable and well made!

There's so many attempts to muddy the waters it would be funny if it wasn't so serious. Even though I'm not sure you attempted to do that here, it certainly reads like it.

So, basically, you're saying that (many, we know how contagious covid 19 is) people got sick and put into hospital/died with a novel respiratory disease in another (or several other) chinese cities first. However, that was covered up or unnoticed _until_ it reached wuhan, and for some reason a researcher who works with coronaviruses at the lab saw a sick patient (at the hospital?), realized "that looks like a novel coronavirus" and decided to raise the alarm? Additionally, after that only Wuhan got shut down, while the other city or cities which should have had a raging epidemic by now still went unnoticed?

That's what I mean, these other theories to explain away what is the most staightforward explanation makes no sense, and invokes too many unlikely scenarios or coincidences.

Regarding gain-of-function, see [nature article from 2015](https://www.nature.com/news/engineered-bat-virus-stirs-debat...) questioning the safety of gain-of-function research, and the article that [triggered the reaction](https://www.nature.com/articles/nm.3985). Part of that research took place in the Wuhan lab.

(Then there are the conflicts of interest of the WHO investigator Peter Daszak, who is very quick to discredit any theory that the virus might have escaped from the lab...)

Again, this is a farce, and it would almost be funny if it weren't for all the dead and the generally shitty situation for most of the world at the moment.

I think most people are confused because of CCP’s successful disinformation campaign, and also out of fear of being seen as prejudiced. The fact is that an epidemic with a corona virus (never before or since seen in the wild) with a peculiarly efficient ability to infect humans started in the _only city in the world with a lab where gain-of-function experiments on corona viruses_ is located. Just apply occam’s razor, and then you are done.

Every other theory requires involving many more unsupported hypotheses.

This would be obvious to the majority of the HN population in most cases, but the disinformation in this case is apparently quite effective.

Ummm, the durability of wood is way longer than you’d think. My family lives in a three-floor wooden house from 1760, and it’s showing no signs of decay just yet. As long as you replace the facade/roof tiles when needed (every 50 years?) and don’t get water into the main walls, a wood building will last for a very long time. Fires excepted, ofc :)

Agreed! When reading late at night (in the bedroom, for example), it’s jarring to switch from a site that has proper dark mode to HN. I can understand some of the pushback, because at the start ”dark mode” felt mostly like a fad, but in low ambient light conditions, it really makes reading much easier and thus brings quite a bit of value. Of course it takes a bit of work to do it well, but that’s the case for all UX, and we don’t just ignore UX because ”ugh… work”

I’d contend that we might have another 15 years to go before the general developer population have gotten so used to git that they are actually using it in an optimal way for their purpose.

Then we’ll find out what its real pain points are, and start working on something new to solve those.

Considering the software this reviewer focuses on, he can’t have much fun using a computer ever, and it shows.

Weird that node is listed as not running under Apple Silicon, since I've been running node 15 compiled for Apple Silicon without problems for a while now :)

I had the same situation, seems the Beta auto-update doesn't switch to the new architecture. Just download the beta again and install it over you old install. The performance difference is _really_ noticeable :)

Does it count as a loss if you get reminded about it by a comment on HN? If so I lost too :/

What an odd coincidence, I just started reading ”Bullshit Jobs” today :/

Exactly like in Sweden. Our ministry of health has _almost_ given up the claim that asymptomatic carriers don't spread the virus by now, so... Progress!

> However, the Swedish decision makers seemed completely unaware of asymptomatic carriers, which led to the at risk (largely old people) being heavily exposed anyways due to the asymptomatic younger workers around them infecting them.

Not unaware, but actively denying that asymptomatic carriers exist and trying to discredit reports saying that asymptomatic carriers play a role in the spread of covid-19.

I agree. If preparing a talk or ”testing” sentence, I can turn on the internal monologue to do a quick check on how it sounds. My default is non-verbal, however.

"The Dream Machine" by by M. Mitchell Waldrop (https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/722412.The_Dream_Mach...) is a really good book about J.C.R Licklider, one of the perhaps lesser-known individuals who helped create the modern computer revolution, in no small part as an ARPA (later DARPA) director. By reading the book, I learned that the changing of directors is by design, and an 8 year tenure looks like a problem with finding a suitable candidate to fill the role. 2 years seems more in line with how it was set up. I really recommend the book for anyone interested in the history of computing, the internet, or DARPA.

Wow, that was a more visceral experience than what I anticipated. I felt more and more uncomfortable the deeper I went... Conclusion: I’d rather go to the Moon.

Is it April first already?

For this specific case, you can actually use other otp apps such as Google Authenticator with okta. See https://help.okta.com/en/prod/Content/Topics/Security/MFA.ht... You'll also have to unselect push notifications somewhere, don't remember exactly where, but it was apparent in the ui.

It was never free. Every time you use it, you offer up your current location and/or place(s) you’re interested in visiting, all of which is very valuable for targeted advertising.

Wow! This is great news for the space program. Feels like it’s gathering alot of momentum now.

Summary: Eyewitness accounts only, no photos, no verification in any way.

Unfortunately, most likely the ”eyewitnesses” are mistaken, as in nearly all cases like these.
