> because the quality and coins

a popular exchange like binance offers hundreds of coins and certainly all of the major ones, and probably more than any bank can offer. If you need one that is not in their list then you must be looking at a very weird merchant. i agree that crypto wallets are still cumbersome to use for average users, but finding and signing up to exchanges is easy.

If you like Go, I’ve had good success on a few projects with http://go-colly.org/ . It’s significantly easier than using the https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/net/html package directly where you would otherwise have to juggle cookies and whatnot to perform authentication tasks.

ARM has been so dominant in the mobile market that there has been a lot of effort around ARM optimisations, both in compilers and interpreted languages. Way more so than alternative architectures like MIPS etc.
Does it matter if organic is healthier or not? If you advertise a good for sale based on a specific characteristic, and then sell goods that don't have that characteristic, you have committed fraud. Whether or not that specific characteristic has an affect in the real world does not change the fact that you aren't selling what you advertised
Doctors are the one driving people away from hospitals in China, since they act like a normal bureaucracy where they don't earn much.

I have experienced it first hand and I can tell you that on all honesty, healthcare in general is the biggest issue affecting the Chinese. Most of them don't realise how bad it is because that is what they know but even places in Latin America have way better patience care with less developed infrastructure
On the other hand, there was Jerry William McDonald who got stranded a few years after the Kim family, also in Oregon [1]. He did stay with the car, and died of starvation and/or hypothermia after 70 days in the car.

At some point trying to walk out, as bad as that is, gives you a better overall chance of surviving than waiting for rescue. The trick is figuring out when that is.

I've heard of only one incident where the stranded people had no trouble with making that decision. They were stranded in a well stocked RV, in a place they knew they were very likely to be found except by a search party specifically looking for them. They had satellite radio and TV, and so were able to watch the news reports about the search, and see when the search was called off, and so it was now either walk out or try to survive the entire winter there. They successfully had someone walk out.

This seems really cool.

The "no external asset" goal reminds me of another very cool game engine, still actively maintained, but unfortunately totally under the radar : amulet.

are there any checks done on the backend to guarantee that the website using the "init(appId)" call is the right one?
The attack vector here is a fake website - say "userbose dot com" - where the login would be validated by the backend and can now access all data for that user.

Of course not. Not that I've ever had to do that in my entire adult life.

> Since the Fold doesn't run in tablet mode, websites default to the mobile version

I translate that to mean "You'll see a lot less ads." I generally read mobile sites and pages even from my laptop for that very reason. I like the built-in assumption that there is no active code execution available, which impacts malware exposure as a pleasant side effect. And I prefer the simplest layouts anyway. For my purposes, gopher doesn't suck. Fancy widgets and auto-playing videos drive me nuts. Especially when they're unrelated to the textual content I was actually clicking for.

Also, the complaints about how thick it is: it seems obvious that if you want a double-sized screen, you are going get a double-sized phone regardless if it is flat or folded. Get a delicate chain and carry it like a little purse.

I believe apple recently relaxed these restrictions (probably GDPR forced it) and you don't need an apple id to use your device.

However, you will not be able to run anything but the default apps.

You are required to have an apple id to download apps, even free ones.

Even if you write an app yourself, and apple id is requried to install them on your device.
I was never sure about that, thinking that a single interpreter process runs on one core and the threads must share that process space. But you're right, and I found good confirmation in this visualization (see the "code" link also): http://www.dabeaz.com/GIL/gilvis/fourthread.html

See also http://www.dabeaz.com/python/UnderstandingGIL.pdf, which explains that

• Python threads are real system threads
• POSIX threads (pthreads)
• Windows threads
• Fully managed by the host operating system
• Represent threaded execution of the Python interpreter process (written in C)
I was redeploying an iis hosted domain with letsencrypt. Trivial is not a word I would use in the description. In addition the tooling wants to much auth on my server and dns hosting accounts.

Based upon my experience, I’d say it’s going to be profitable in its own right just by powering EC2 instances. The same argument could be said to apply to Apple’s ARM chips.
Are you sure you're looking only the "User Agent"? The text at the top is describing your entire "browser fingerprint." It includes everything the server could gather from you. Including cookies, browser version, width/height of the window, etc.

In case it's not clear, uniqueness should be seen as bad in this case. It means you can be tracked.
Probaly alot of shorthand writing, anything with an R0 rating below 1 tends to die out. therefore you compare the sars rating of 1.49 and the novel corona virus of 3.8 by seeing how many times .49 fits in 2.8 which is around 5.7 times more infectious instead of 7.75 mentioned in his tweet (He probaly divided 3.8 by .49 instead of 2.8)

Ratings are just approximations and i'm no expert in virology to say wether this means anything at all.

Ask HN: Any Devs with ADD got tips on how they handle it?
originally posted on r/cscareerquestions, but this seems like a better place.

TL:DR: I am a dev with ADD, looking for encouragement/advice from other devs with ADD. Y'all out there?

Long version-
I think I have some heavy form of ADHD. I have trouble staying on scope on PRs, and understanding what other devs consider readable. I am subject to rabbit holes and not staying within the scope of a task. Sometimes I just get straight up distracted and check out youtube, sometimes I can stare at a PR for awhile and miss a stupid error.
I'm looking into meds and I've implemented a few strategies that have really started to pay off (Remember the Milk as a type of bullet journal, checking in with myself every 2 hours with what I am working on, why, and how) but I'm curious to hear about other experiences and strategies people have used to survive. There's enough adults without ADD out there, surely we are somewhat employable!

I work on identity resolution problems among other data challenges at a big retailer. We get very few details when a credit card is used in-store -- pretty much just the basic card info. We don't own the payment networks and a variety of legal and business reasons prevent us from doing what may seem to be possible to get an individual's data based on a card number (from the networks themselves or other data brokers). What's possible is mostly limited to what you can do with the name on the card and store location. We've invested significantly in the problem and the answers are a patchwork of guesses.

There's an interesting related issue here for brick & mortar businesses with CCPA and GDPR in effect: you can do some useful analytics, personalization, and fraud prevention work with probabilistic identity info, but if someone verifies they actually are Person X and wants to download or delete whatever data you have on them, what can you confidently say is actually their data?

Will companies be held to different standards based on how much money they've invested and success they've had in identity resolution, in which case this might be a factor dissuading them from doing more identification and personalization? Or if they haven't invested millions in trying to figure out who people are, but it's possible to do so, are they liable for some kind of misconduct if they don't produce all the data they have that could have been tied together for that person? Is the choice binary, i.e. either invest big in identity resolution and take it as far as possible (with parallel governance investment) or de-identify everything you can? A privacy advocate might think on first pass that it's as simple as choosing the latter, but that's mostly not possible due to requirements we face related to other regulation and business realities: fraud, anti-money laundering, age-related laws, shoplifting, intense competition in a razor thin margin industry, etc.

Data privacy is complicated.
Browser Benchmark Battle January 2020: Chrome vs. Firefox vs. Edge vs. Brave
Speaking on behalf of Lobsters, I'll repost my former comment about this site when I explained it to Hacker News:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17873715

Feedback from Lobsters, esp those that run the site and major contirbutors, was mostly in agreement. Most responses preferred one or more of peaceful coexistence, getting good from both, and/or cross-posting good stories/comments to both communities. A seemingly-tiny group does hate HN or SV, though. We're less about which is best so much as helping make the one(s) we use the best.

On Lobsters, culture articles usually get more upvotes than downvotes. This article on Lobsters got a large number of downvotes at a higher-than-usual ratio indicating they thought it doesn't represent Lobsters' vies and/or might offend the HN community. That's despite kevq being a guy we like who writes and submits lots of content that gets plenty of upvotes. Just throwing out there for anyone on HN wandering if this was a group consensus or just kevq's thing.

Speaking for myself to address a few comments in this thread:

1. Looks dead. It usually is on weekends. Check back Monday and Wednesday. Always slower-moving, lower comments, and just more laid back, though. Although niche, we're unusually strong in accessibility, formalmethods, plt, and testing. Look at the tags:

https://lobste.rs/tags

2. Politics, echo chambers, moderation, etc. The site itself is diverse. The main preferences in voting are people that just want deep tech vs people that want human side and/or political (most far-left-leaning). There's plenty in between who submit links, drop in randomly, etc. These two are just most vocal about preferences. If not haters or trolling, then moderators let visibility be determined by votes w/ worst collapsed, not deleted. Deletes and bans are rare with constructive criticism from community being most common.

3. Experts. Lobsters comments has higher expert-to-non-expert ratio on a lot of topics due to its model. HN's model and long history gives it a higher volume of experts and expert comments. The two are also usually different even on same article or topic. Reading both sites is best for maximizing expertise.

Dan, I appreciate the list you posted illustrating No 3 since I've needed that on most of the occasions I've described HN's diverse array of experts to people not on the site. Definitely passing it along.
The article is full of inaccuracies and errors. Confusing threads with eventloops is just one of them.

I can't imagine it's being upvoted.

I have the 4GB Surface Go. I have mixed feelings about the device. I misjudged it. I expected a lightweight laptop that can work as a tablet, but Surface Go is primarily a tablet that can do some desktop work.

The performance is OK for my needs. The screen bezels are too thick for my taste, but I guess that's the tablet part coming into play.

The device is a bit too thick for my taste, it's matching a Macbook Pro in thickness. The weight isn't special either, sure, the tablet alone is light, but add the keyboard and it's not that light anymore.

The keyboard is the best and worst part. I enjoy using it, but the way it's designed, it's completely unusable on a lap. You need a flat, solid surface to use the keyboard, full stop.

I thought it'd be more usable as a laptop. Next time, I'll look for something like Asus Transformer, they have a rigid keyboard that holds the screen, or a used Macbook 12 (I love the form factor of that one).

I am not sold on the kickstand. I don't really see many benefits of it. I guess it's useful if you want to watch a movie on your tablet and want to put it standing up? I don't know.
Quick update: after analyzing about 3,500 strains of coronaviruses, I found several that shared the same envelope proteins despite being different strains e.g. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ipg/?term=ABP38309.1 My quick-and-dirty estimate from my data is that about 0.1% share the same envelope protein with other viruses, but this was just rushed amateur work, so don't take the number too seriously.

In high school I found there was an whitelist of executable names, as long as I named the file firefox.exe it would be allowed to run.

For senior prank I created small Autohotkey executables that would swap what some keyboard keys would do (e.g. 'm' with 'n'). Then I booted the lab computers with a Linux live CD, and copied the executables into the global start folder (a different executable for each computer). When students came in that day to finish their homework in the morning at the last minute, they were quite annoyed, but some found it funny. One clever student figured out that killing the firefox.exe process fixed it (until the next login).

I didn't get in any trouble (senior prank was semi-sanctioned), but they did need me to clean it up the next day.

No idea what it means, but I am also curious. I literally just installed Brave on IOS before checking it out, so I tried it on IOS Chrome and the fingerprint was still unique.

It's a great point. And I agree that precision in stars or mechanics seems much simpler than neuroscience -- but I do actually think that there will be some laws akin to f=ma.

Ok, maybe not quite to that level. But consider this paper, by great neuroscientists and cited over 1000 times, that models brain wave bands as harmonics, with band widths as the golden mean. [1, see figure 4]

My money is on some synthesis of the many theories in oscillatory neurodynamics. Neural resonance, dissonance, harmonics and entrainment... So many of the theories* have borne out empirically, but there has hardly been an attempt at synthesis.

* Theories like "Communication through coherence", "binding by synchrony", "phase amplitude coupling" + "working memory", etc etc etc.

Great essay thank you for sharing!
After converting the string to float and then multiplying by 100, round to the nearest integer.

Assuming that the underlying implementation of Ruby uses sscanf for the conversion (I'm assuming Ruby is in C or C++?), that should work.

I had some concerns about this general issue, and did some brute force testing. The following program constructs strings "0.1", "0.2", ..., "0.9", "0.01", "0.02", ..., "0.99", ..., "0.99999999", uses sscanf to turn them into doubles, multiplies by the appropriate power of 10, rounds to the nearest integer, and checks if that is right.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int main(void)
{
int len = 1;
unsigned long div = 10;
char num[30];

while (len < 9)
{
for (unsigned long i = 1; i < div; ++i)
{
sprintf(num, "%.20lu", i);
num[19-len] = '.';
char * dp = num + 18 - len;
double d;
sscanf(dp, "%lf", &d);
unsigned long ci = round(d * div);
if (i != ci)
printf("%s, %lf, %lu\n", dp, d, ci);
}
++len;
div *= 10;
fprintf(stderr, "LEN=%d, DIV=%ld\n", len, div);
}

return 0;
}

Latency is a thing for sure. But we're talking a few inches of distance that the signal needs to travel, so I don't think it's a significant issue. The latency when "casting desktop" to TV is pretty tolerable (to the point that I hadn't noticed it until I read your comment).

As a very long time Linux on the desktop user, I absolutely love Solus. I've used about everything, but anymore, I just want something nice and easy for me out of the box. After the Antergos project ended, I decided I wanted something non Arch based, and tried Solus for the heck of it. I liked the default wallpaper, theme, and despite lacking advanced setups, the installer was perfect for my needs. Updates are done once a week, and despite the small team, they really mostly stay on top of things. If you're a distro hopper, or tired of your current one, give it a go.
