Ask HN: Ways to support people losing their job by Covid-19
As more cities across the US ban large gatherings, more and more businesses are being put either on reduced hours or being closed altogether, for we don't know how long. This will result in a lot of staff being at least temporarily being laid off. Is there any organization that focus on these workers that I can contribute to? If not, what's the best way to help?

Yes, it is undefined behavior by the standard, but most compilers will give you some random value and you will get the answer that GhotiFish states.

It is more a psychological effect, when you need to prove yourself before entering a community you tend to appreciate it more, and (in theory) care more about the community. It will be interesting to see if this really holds in practice.
Re:An algorithm for generating automatic hashtags

At some degree, word frequency counting does classify correctly what the story is about, so in my opinion it do adds quality to it. Think of it like regular tagging. However, the threshold for how many hashtags should be produced with this method should be very low, as it offers no contextual or meta information about it.

It can be a useful tool to get the main "feeling" in a complex line of pointers, but I wouldn't use it to auto-generate explainer comments

I wonder how different would it be if the main character was male instead of female. There is a certain frailness that you can't get with male characters

I agree that he does not put us spenders in a very gracious light, but the main point he is making is that all those socially accepted (and desired) things have a cost, and if you sum them up you will see that you are spending more than you thought you were.

My sister uses the schizophrenic pattern shown in the middle that uses all the dots. Because sliding your fingers between two dots just pixels apart was an error prone nightmare, she decided to just hop her fingers from dot to dot, based on the fact that if you touch one dot and then you touch another, when you lift the first finger the path between both will be automatically drawn. That way, the trace in her screen is just fingers over dots, making it impossible to tell which one is the first and which one comes next.

I'm OK with shoulder surfing. The main reason I use a pattern lock is that if I forget it somewhere or got it stolen the guy who has it won't know the pattern. Putting that aside, I do was hoping to see an analysis that could help me come out with a pattern that a thief couldn't guess with the traces on the screen.
