bnt··on European mortality monitoring shows increase in excess mortality
Not OP but: local media in Eastern Europe bash Sweden hard with TV news pieces showing open shops and restaurants, people in groups etc, while here in Serbia we’re in complete lockdown. This also makes me feel like Sweden doesn’t care, but again, I have no first hand info except what TV and Reddit tell me. This might be OPs “source”.
bnt··on Ask HN: Are you planning to launch a software business in these uncertain times?
We’re working full steam ahead! Crisis come and go.
bnt··on Ask HN: Who Is Firing?
Berlin is pretty nuts, lots of firing going on.
bnt··on Nasty macOS flaw is bricking MacBooks: Don't install this update
I hope Apple doesn’t expect that everyone has a “Spare Macbook” laying around. I’ve been experiencing random system crashes when anything connects via TB3, and 3 random Kernel panics since the update.
bnt··on Optimizing Ruby lazy initialization in TruffleRuby with deoptimization
How does backend development reflect on mobile?
bnt··on Optimizing Ruby lazy initialization in TruffleRuby with deoptimization
But developing in JS is consideray slower than in Ruby, and time to market should be king.
bnt··on Apollo: An iOS Reddit app built for power and speed
I think the age of a mindfull, usefull Reddit are gone. It’s been trolls and crap content for years now, and it’s only getting worse IMHO. I think at some point the usefull, good communities will migrate somewhere else in the coming years
bnt··on "This community is available in the app"
Current digg.com has nothing to do with the original Digg.
bnt··on "This community is available in the app"
Which would be a shame, given the official Reddit app is a pile of shit
bnt··on More emphasis on trains in Europe to replace flights
Also, trains in the Netherlands are highly unreliable with regular unplanned shutdowns (due to natural factors like heavy rain or human factors like high suicide rates by jumping infront of trains). Also, commuters tend to be too comfortable (taking off their shoes, talking loudly on the phone or messy eating).
bnt··on Alphabet earnings show Google Cloud on $10B run rate
Or for water cooling the CPUs?
bnt··on ThinkPad Mods, Done Right
Wouldn’t you get some (minor?) battery life improvements from swapping out the spinning 2.5” with an SSD?
bnt··on Nearly a third of Indian startup founders surveyed are considering moving abroad
What would be their primary destination of choice, and what are the major factors preventing them from moving?
bnt··on Show HN: Find the Monitor Arm you need easily
It would be cool if I could filter by monitor weight, as I have a heavy 38” monstrosoty
bnt··on Russia blocks ProtonMail
And if those bomb threats proved right and people get killed? Would you still praise Proton for not working with Law enforcement?
bnt··on Google Sheets was down
Maybe something was connected that nobody thought of
bnt··on Lumen – Elixir and Erlang in the Browser
Why? Just because Laravel came first and made an abandomware project?
bnt··on Electric Cars Threaten the Heart of Germany’s Economy
Saying that a metal worker can easily switch to a leather craftsman sounds a bit simplistic, no? Many jobs will be lost, new ones will be created in their place, some people will switch careers, others will be left unemployable. A lot of German (and EU) education machinery focuses on the current gen car industry, and that’s not sustainable in the long run. So they will have to reinvent their educational system as well.
bnt··on Apple News No Longer Supports RSS
Yea, I love the fact that my macOS update is only to update Apple News which is unavailable in my region.
bnt··on Hippy: React Native Alternative by Tencent
Why?
bnt··on Zhaoxin Unveiled Next-Generation x86 SoC Plans
Which they are forced to give. If US companies stop selling components to China, it’s back to the stone age for them.
bnt··on Having Kids
My first 7 months with the newborn were exactly that: absolutely unproductive at work (got fired) and no time for anything of my own. And I was OK with it, because my only concern at the time was making sure the baby’s needs are met. After the initial 7 months passed, things went back to “old normal” - baby was much more stable and predictable, and I could get back to work.
bnt··on Police conducted search in the Nginx office due to a copyright claim
Doubt. Croatian police face hefty fines if they take bribe. Source: have several close friends in the police.
bnt··on Category:Obsolete occupations
There is a term “human race”
bnt··on 16-inch MacBook Pro
“Peak Apple”
bnt··on Trip planning on Android phone turned off for now
But with Google it’s both ways: they want the money and still will collect / sell your data.
bnt··on List of the biggest distributed/remote-first companies
Toptal is < 700 people. If they are looking at Linkedin for data, then it’s probably freelancers (misleadingly) listing Toptal as their employer.
bnt··on Ask HN: Why are there emojis in commits?
What additional value do emojis add, that plain text already doesn’t?
bnt··on U.S. opens a national security review of TikTok’s acquisition of Musical.ly
Because Twitter is ignorant of any sign of market opportunity. They had a massive mobile user base, and then they burried the DM functionality deep in the app (this was years ago). Twitter could have become the biggest messaging app before messaging apps were even cool.
bnt··on Microsoft Wins Pentagon’s $10B Contract
Azure Functions are pretty nice, hope they continue evolving the service.
