> and our women with their sophisticated accents

I also feel particularly terrible for women across Europe who will less often be catcalled by drunken Brits. It’s really the end of an era.

Excellent analogy, actually.

You’ve pretty much exactly described someone I know who caught the virus at the end of March as well. Approximately 40 years old, and healthy, and currently is exhausted from climbing one flight of stairs. She finally started leaving the house just a couple weeks ago. It’s been a very very gradual improvement over time, so I suspect that eventually it will go away. She’s been getting some physical therapy to help get her body moving and gradually become more active.

Interesting, the article seems to suggest that he did not have much of an impact until he published a couple decades later.

Notwithstanding your condescending tone of stating something obvious to me as a question, I’m not talking about the pandemic at all. The majority of communication between people is electronic now, messaging, email, the Internet as a whole. You have to go back nearly a couple of decades really to see teenagers (or many adults) who are not glued to their phones and primarily communicating in a digital way. And with regards to the OP, you certainly can’t replicate an intellectual coffeehouse digitally.

It’s unfortunate, because the raw improvised social interaction of recent eras past is forever gone, and the newer generations will never know what they missed.

> Why don't we have coffee houses like this today? I'd go. You could argue that the web is the modern-day version of this

No, I disagree. The web is not a replacement for normal social interaction. Zoom is not a replacement for in person meetings. The web does not replace an actual coffee shop, and social media or email does not replace a phone call.

Unfortunately, our newest adult generation will never understand what beauties there were in life before people only communicated electronically.

Fascinating, I didn’t realize Newton was into his 40s before he made any specific contributions that led to his larger widespread influence. I just assumed that, like most of the greatest scientists in history, he was in his 20s when he changed the world.

It's a neat technology but still quite infant. I've heard that it currently takes longer to implement a non-trivial UI due to the compiler errors, documentation gaps, and bugs with the framework. Patience is required.

I've flagged the title; it is incredibly poor etiquette to sneak half a gig in downloads on a user, especially when demonstrating something for mobile!

The redirect should happen automatically when they click the email, you shouldn’t ask the user to shuffle around their tabs after that point.

I don’t see anyone out there with widespread praise of the violence you are talking about.

But all the evidence from European countries tells us a lot about non-lockdown spread following a proper lockdown.

That acronym is gatekeeping, my friend.

Which is not relevant. This is not an issue regarding the health of the children as much as it is the health of the teachers.

Well it is definitely true that having schools fully open does not contribute to much greater risk if the community already has the virus under control as this has been widely demonstrated by many European countries where infection rates continued to decrease, hospitalizations and deaths decreased, even as schools fully opened. But in those countries, they actually did the responsible thing and had a full uncompromised lockdown for months to get the virus under control.

It would seem that D and Nim have many similar goals and features.

No need to yell, it’s a relevant point to make since we’re talking about ARM.

Not sure also what you mean by giving it a rest, this is the first time I’ve made a comment on this point.

Update: thanks for editing your comment to be less offensive.

Very interesting, thanks for the link!

> ARM stuff is well supported though

FYI Rust (and Go) currently don’t work on the new Apple ARM macs.

Interesting. Haven’t used rocket, but I am intrigued by warp since it has a websocket server as well.

> decidedly not weird architecture and a very well known operating system

Can you say which ones? It's hard to place your comment without details.

If you honestly believe that, I certainly hope you’re not actively trading the market!

It is true about Amazon, though, and I’ve seen Amazon mentioned far more often than Apple in this regard.

There are many applications for which you definitely do not want a true random number. Sometimes you want your random numbers to exist in a uniform distribution, for example.

Much discussion, two days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23815824

It doesn’t matter. For example, another very common dictionary word is “Apple“.

How about another very generic and common word, “Apple.”

There’s probably a long and very amusing German word that means something like “the public outing of a company’s moral failures via the route of a holy resignation letter.“

I agree, I believe this is one area where Apple made the right decision. A computer should either be used like an actual computer, or used as a mobile device. It takes more than just a touchscreen to make it the latter. So it doesn’t make sense to add it arbitrarily. Now adding a keyboard to a mobile device, however, does offer some nice flexibility without compromising on the mobile aspect of it.

None of what you’re saying changes what I said.
