I'm very sad about this. The one feature that I really like is that you could read articles offline. Any good alternatives?

(saves this HN post to Pocket to come back to it later to see replies)

Yes I tried this for awhile but I hit some very odd issue with the bazel plugin and the codebase I work on. It went away when I switched to Goland.

I haven't tried again to see if newer versions have fixed the issue.

I've been hoping that Fleet would emerge as a true multi language IDE. I code in GoLang and Python regularly. I currently have the Python plugin in Goland which is not the professional plugin. If I want them I have to use a different IDE and switching back and forth is a pain.

Also, with a rewrite I've hoped that remote development will be less buggy than it currently is with Goland. It's laggy too and you see weird screen flashes. Sometimes certain features don't even work over remote.

Experiencing this as well. I was a bit concerned something was wrong with my key but alas it is not my key but an outage.

Developer "snow day".

There was a discussion on this yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39333081

I've these summary articles for sports and stocks.The article quality is so low that it's mostly useless information.

Who even reads these articles? Does anyone get benefits?

I hope that the grocery store who is splitting the wheel removes the rind area with the label. I don't like the idea of ingesting a eating a chip even if it's very very small.

How are the reddit mods communicating and coordinating? Is it on Discord?

On bike I only ride routes that I have either been before, walked, or driven through. I have some sense of safety.

Otherwise, I stay calm on roads and never try to overreact to the overly aggressive people driving around me. I also never take too aggressive lane change because I worry someone might have road rage.

While stopped at an intersection on the way to his office, a woman plowed into me and 2 other cars because she wasn't paying attention, and was likely on her phone. That wreck generated $45K of medical bills for me and a 21-month settlement process.

Sorry to hear and I hope you recovered fully.

Fundamentally, our roads are unsafe and since the pandemic road deaths in the US have been on the rise. Locally where I live in, SF, the number of driving citations is significantly down over the last 10 years. I see incredibly risky maneuvers when I'm driving my car or on bike.

Many levels of gov are not addressing this serious risk to our health, road accidents. If our roads were declared a public health hazard and be avoided at all costs it might be draw some attention where we move towards finding solutions.

Thanks for responding and providing details.

One follow up is there are instances where Datadog report outages but Metrist says it's green.

Is that because the functional tests are still working but some other part of Datadog was reported as down?

Surprised to see how many differences in disagreements between Datadog and Metrist if Datadog is down or not.

Anyone from Metrist able to explain this?

99.9% of those visitors never travel more than 50 feet from the main road. This means that most of those visitors experience less than 1/10th of 1% of the actual park.

I'd say that's a win. We should be preserving as much as we can which really means most of us shouldn't be exploring more of the park which is mostly off trail.

I do get your point that people are coming to Yosemite and are not even taking advantage of the trails.

One point that should be made from this is that many people who are coming to the park don't really have the fitness, skills, and motivation to explore more of the trails in the park. Similarly, many people really aren't going to go explore at their companies because of skills, motivation, and time. Time is a major blocker for me because I can do more in areas outside of my focus but there are other life obligations and the need to rest to avoid burnout.

It's not that the US won't have social credit scores... they just will be privatized and opaque.

We already have a social credit score and it's privatized now. It's background checks.

From the story:

While she does not have a criminal record, her boyfriend does, she said, telling Motherboard it was “a white collar charge,” though she did not go into specifics.

I find it a bit odd to let private companies do background checks when this really seems more of a function of government where as a society we can have input and reform the process.

GitHub has had so many outages in the last year. I can't imagine this is going to get better if they are going to lay off 10% of people. So many companies developer productivity relies on GitHub being up. I hope the remaining the folks who were not impacted can make large strides in increasing reliability of GitHub.

I've also hit this too when I visit the main page for Kubeflow. There is a Lastpass community issue but it doesn't look like there is much movement on it:

https://community.logmein.com/t5/LastPass-Support-Discussion...

The price point is pretty step at $169.

We've all come to accept random outages for so many of services we use. I wish we didn't have to because for some of these services I really don't have a backup. Given how infrequent they happen it's not worth my time to invest in having a ready backup for music streaming, when I'm not at home with my NAS. Other forms of distribution didn't have "outages" like CDs but these days when a cloud service outage happens it's like half the internet goes out. These types of outages are quite impactful.

From another perspective living in the US I'm pretty grateful that the power is super stable because so many things I rely on need power and they almost always work. In India it's common to have rolling blackouts so people are quite adapted to outages daily.

Many people would not want to or can lift boxes all day, like people with back problems. The robot supervisor job could be appealing to more people. So it's not replacing but creating a different job which more people could work.

Similarly I've called tests with a PG DB in a docker container an integration test cause they take longer to run.

What's really nice if you run the migrations once to setup the tests then subsequent tests can be fast. Each test run within a nested transaction and rolled back at the end. This ensures that each test get a clean DB to work off of with incurring the cost of running all the migrations.

The way suggestions come out lead to a lot of verbosity for C++ compilers when reading in a console.

Template errors have gotten better but can get very verbose. I rarely read the whole thing. You learn how to skim and find where I can click to get to the line which has the issue.

Thank you for letting us know and being clear about it. Really like NewsBlur. Hope it comes back soon!

To add on. If you are joining against a table where you are joining on a UUID the join becomes quite slow with very large tables, like >10 million rows.

PG will say it's doing a hash look up and you'd think it'd be fast but it will take quite sometime relative to joining two large tables with integer IDs. With UUIDS PG will give up doing a hash look up sometimes and try to do table scans unless you adjust random_page_cost.

In general joining on UUIDs for large tables is a bad idea. It can be great if you are joining a single row to another row.

I agree. I got license for the JetBrains All product pack. It's been a huge boost in my productivity for Python and C++ because the refactoring tools make mundane things so much faster.

Also, templating is incredibly powerful. I avoid copy / paste in favor of typing or generating things out. Copy/Paste is a really bad pattern and the overhead of having to put the code in makes me think about abstracting it much earlier than if I just copied and pasting things.

I don't know what it is either but some people have refactor itch and others don't.

Making code changes means one takes on the risk of breaking things. I think the people who don't break stuff are the ones who continue to refactor. The ones who don't either are scared of breaking stuff or had a bad experience with breaking stuff.

I suspect the people who refactor have what can be describe as perfectionism or obsessive compulsive.

I'm in that bucket. I can see certain code which is too complex or didn't handle a requirement well and I want to get it to be stated more simply.

Normal people can't resell liquor, nor resell takeout food from a licensed restaurant

That's actually good and a bit surprising. I find it quite disingenuous that DoorDash lists restaurants that haven't agreed to do take-out or delivery. Not only that by having a call center call into a restaurant it's just making the experience more expensive.

There is one restaurant in SF that was going to push for legal action. https://www.eater.com/2020/1/29/21113416/grubhub-seamless-ki...

Article's premise is right but they primarily used start-ups in the travel and transportation space for examples of insane revenue drop. If people are sheltering no one is gonna be using these services. So, it's really not surprising.

The longer term impact is going to be the lack of funding in the coming couple of years and lack of customers for the services/products coming out of startups.

How will VC funds fair in this? Are there enough LPs out there willing to put their money into this risk pool?

I'm not convinced by this trend either. Everyone who's gotten delivery has had food that doesn't travel and feels like they paid more for a worse quality product.

I hope that eat at restaurants will have a renaissance. It's nice to eat out, be in a different space than your home, etc...

I'm looking for a new TV and I started with looking for a dumb TV but I came to the conclusion that 4k HDR isn't supported by Nvidia Shield for Youtube and Netflix.

Only option to get that is to use the built in smart features of the TV. So even using external boxes you don't get all the latest hardware support for video codecs.

Are there TV models which really connect to open Wifi? People keep mentioning this but it's a situation where it'd be more useful to have some facts.

Another option connect it to a dedicated subnet which cannot route to the internet or another device.
