To quote Gene Hunt from Life on Mars: "Drugs eh, what's the point? They make you talk funny, they make you walk funny, they make you see things that aren't there. My nan got all that for free when she had a stroke."

In all seriousness, I think people who use drugs like this have something missing in their life. Instead of getting hopped up on mushrooms, why not look at your life and work out what you are using mushrooms as a subsitute for.

They will probably slowly introduce the changes one feature at a time in a backward-compatible way in a similar manner to how core react architectural changes are introduced (eg fiber, suspense, hooks etc).
Brains Review by Mr.Daniel Vant for Asp.net Web Development Project
Doesn't really matter. You can always refactor later.

I'm still using Cordova. There are reasons to use Cordova. We'll phase it out for native later. Not Flutter or React Native, but actual native.

There has never really been a "best" technology. Some are faster. Some are safer. Some are cheaper. Some have nice curves early on and mess you up later on. Some are awesome for CRUD, not so great when your app relies on modifying camera or microphone data, or needs to be running in the background.

Be on-call. You need the sysadmins to be available to fix issues when they happen, even if the fixing itself takes little time.

I developed a few web sites for universities, and they were hosted by the university. You really have to hope nothing breaks on Friday afternoon, or you have to wait until Monday morning to get it fixed...
75% of those cases are less than 5 days old, 50% are less than 2-3 days. Assuming it takes a day or two for symptoms to ramp up, the death count so far is half or less of what it will be for the 7.7 now infected. Just from these numbers, I'd expect it to end up around 4.5%.
I dont think you can express Wireguard's battery usage by that %.

Imagine these 2 use cases:

#1. You do not use/touch your iPhone for 24 hours. Wireguard will now show 40% of the total battery that was used.

#2. You play the game Tetris for 24 hours. Wireguard will now show less than 1% of the total battery that was used. Because Tetris used the other 99,9%.
I have attempted numerous times quitting smoking with no success. During the withdrawls I wasn't able to function properly: blurred vision, couldnt concentrate, mood swings and sleepless nights.

Smoking has a negative impact on my both physical and mental health.
I have been smoking for almost 10 years, a pack a day

Could anyone who have successfully quit smoking share your stories and tips?
> It doesn’t work well because you have to remember and do it manually every, single, time for every message to each recipient.

I'm having the very same problem, but never knew there actually was an extension for that - though it's a bit disheartening to learn that at the same time it no longer works in the latest Thunderbird version. Hm... (There's also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1518025 to port that functionality into Thunderbird itself, but it seems to have possibly stalled a little?)
Its a blogvertisment by Holistics, which is a competitor to Looker.
I think the article is a bit simplistic.

It's true that _often_ OLAP cubes are not needed. That's simply because the amount of data and the latency requirements are _often_ not too demanding.

Also, materialized views don't solve the major issue with OLAP cubes: the need of maintaining data pipelines.

I wonder if a solution to this problem could come from a different way of caching result sets: new queries that would produce a subset of a previously cached result could be run against the cached result itself.
Of course this opens up a new set of problems, cache invalidation etc..
For this to be a forced breach, the website must be intentionally exploiting a security issue on the device to expose exact location coordinates. If so, I’d suggest perusing the source code, as there might be bug bounty money there. Or patching your device. EDIT: to be clear, this would also be a dick move by the website author and they should be publicly shamed more than this.

Alternatively, they may be accidentally triggering a vulnerability (more bug bounty money or reasons to patch)

Alternatively, you accidentally gave the permission for location services when prompted.

Alternatively, your IP has a GeoIP location that is at / very close to your home address. If this is the case, GeoIP databases are like telephone directories of yore. Except not only are they globally public, you also cant opt out.

Recommending Syncthing kind of misses the point for many Dropbox users.

I want cloud storage that's hosted on infrastructure that's not mine, because I don't trust myself to keep it redundant and up to date, a perpetual security risk. Even if I could setup a local LAN storage device at home and keep it always on and available, it's a nuisance and I don't want it.

Even more, when accessing files, I don't necessarily want to download them locally. If I have photos or documents, I want to search them or browse them without downloading entire folders locally. And I browse files on my iPhone quite often too, I need a good iPhone app.

My only problem with Dropbox is one of security, as it misses end to end encryption, but then again, the files wouldn't be as accessible if they did that, plus personally I think encryption should be local and app specific for it to be reliable, therefore I'm encrypting (via GPG mostly) the sensitive files that I need to encrypt.
The antithesis of a good landing page.

I'd never heard of it before. What does Apache Guacamole actually do? Is it of interest to me? I click...

Nothing on the home page immediately tells me. I note HTML5 and there is something going on with a client and I guess a server? I scroll down the page. Literally, nothing telling me how Guacamole might be of interest to me, but I notice a mention to RDP - hmmm, that might be a clue, but it might not be.

I go up to docs. FAQ? OK, that might help. I click. Nope. Nothing. I scroll through the first five or six questions and I'm none the wiser.

I go back to the docs and notice the user manual. Surely that must tell me? I click.

Right, which section might tell me? Introduction? I click.

Several paragraphs in:

> Guacamole is an HTML5 web application that provides access to desktop environments using remote desktop protocols (such as VNC or RDP). Guacamole is also the project that produces this web application, and provides an API that drives it. This API can be used to power other similar applications or services.

I realise F/LOSS might not feel the need to "market" itself like it were a business, but is it too much to ask that the first thing we see on the home page is a brief description of what the project is, and some of the benefits so a curious chap can decide if it's of interest?

And they can be fun. And an interesting experience.
I hope people learn lessons based on abandoned products like:

1. Google Chat removed XMPP interoperability.

2. Google abandoned wave.

3. Google abandoned google chat and replace with Hangouts.

4. Hangouts replaced with two products, Hangout Meet and Chat.

5. Google chat integration with google voice abandoned and now google voice is a separate product (may be abandoned later).

6. Google launched Allo and Duo and both abandoned.

7. Android message apps being tweaked, abandoned, replaced with incompatible apps in quest to make it like iMessage.

8. Now this is an attempt to replace hangout meet and chat with one app. Not sure than what’s the meaning on replacing old hangouts with two apps to again go back to one app.

In essence don’t trust google with messaging app or critical systems to run company. Google is primarily a advertising company with technology and that is their core business which can get them more clicks, eyeballs and revenue.

Anything even if with millions of users will be abandoned like many other products if it does not generate ad revenue for google.

I am still posting even though it’s highly unlikely to make it to front page and also there is a risk of downvoting of my comments, critical of Google by google PR teams or staff as being done to my other comments in HN.
Not really.

printf is vulnerable to both read and _write_ attacks when you misuse it by only supplying the single argument. It's vulnerable to injections that can lead to remote execution and all sorts of CVEs.

puts is sometimes vulnerable to read attacks, but not often.

Haven't the genetic sequences shown that there's so far only one variant? It's not surprising that there would be symptomless carriers, since it apparently can have quite a long incubation period. They may develop symptoms within a couple of weeks.
That's not the way I read the report. I read it as it is confirmed that the virus can spread before the symptoms appear. No where is it stated that there is a new variant.
I agree, but for yet another reason - you legally need permission from the country to transmit in its spectrum. This is normally handled by the ITU so that there is global consistency, but that doesn't mean that a country can't withdraw its permission in some way, e.g. by leaving the ITU. There may even be less nuclear options - I'm waiting for the expert to return to the office to consult...
Do you have an example of what they could have written? I agree with you that lots (mostly the corporate and startup) of homepages aren't good in describing the product but this seems like a relatively okay summary to me:

"Apache Guacamole is a clientless remote desktop gateway. It supports standard protocols like VNC, RDP, and SSH.[...]

Thanks to HTML5, once Guacamole is installed on a server, all you need to access your desktops is a web browser."

It's a tool you install on your machine and then you can access said machine via a web browser, no?
The post links to the 1.1.0 release https://guacamole.apache.org/releases/1.1.0/

IMHO this is not an intended landing page for the project. I touched the title and got to the home page which explains pretty well what the project is about

http://guacamole.apache.org/

Maybe they should add an explicit Home link.

That's like saying a broken lock works perfectly if only authorized people ever try to enter.
Depends whether the targeted antigen has changed. Best case (for humans) is if it couldn't escape the targeting without deactivating the virus.

RNA viruses do change quickly, but influenza's probably on a different level with its multi-segment, randomly assorted genome.
Good advice. At the same time, in some cases, this approach can bring real world consequences?

E.g. might result in that other silly and superior acting person, getting the job, and you didn't. Or the girls like him better because he seems confident?

But anyway, generally, I like the Zen-out approach. And probably it's possible to be a good self esteem Noob too -- I mean, to stay happy when one tries and fails repeatedly, also when everyone is watching, although maybe not so easy.
The danger of a digital dark age
As a European, I find that a bit amusing, though begrudgingly so. We non-US citizen are in that situation since ever, because the American agencies simply don't care about the rights of foreigners. That didn't seem to bother US citizens at all, as long as "terrorists" could be stopped.

Ask HN: How do you overcome social anxiety/choking during interviews?
"Adding manpower to a late project makes it later" - Fred Brooks.

"5 minutes when alone is worth 15 when being watched" - Me, at 3am

"Even the Eiffel tower looked ugly during construction" - Also Me, at 4am

A technical interview seems like an artificially constrained setting which is rarely seen IRL.

1. Interviewer already knows the answer. 2. Interviewer has no time constraints. 3. Interviewer is not judged when he 'thinks out loud'. 4. Interviewer has no repercussions.

In contrast:

1. Candidate does not know the answer. 2. Candidate has 30 minutes. 3. Candidate is judged on his 'approach'. 4. Candidate's job status is at stake.

I find it hard to think freely under these constraints.

If I am judged on my approach, I have to be slow/cautious in what I speak, and ignore the time constraint.

If I am judged on my result, I have to be fast/random in my thoughts, and ignore the approach constraint.

If I am judged on both, I have to change into pyjamas, put my feet up on the table, gesture wildly with my arms, and ignore the 'human being in front of me' constraint.

I would love to know whether that particular interviewer solved that particular problem when they encountered it for the first time ever, within 30 minutes, while being watched and judged on both their approach and the result.

If not, I would love to ask if they (or I) could leave the room and come back after 15 minutes. Is this feasible ?
Correct but the problem with raw SQL is that it's not composable easily. LookML essentially provides that composability on top of SQL.

I imagine China is severely underreporting the numbers. I got downvoted last time I suggested it, but this is a modern day, protectionist, authoritarian state which controls what its people can say and see.
The same is true for other non-tech fields. For example, MiFID 2.
Don't really get this article. SQL never went away or got less popular. Always been in the background doing its awesome thing.
No, and I don't like paying for membership and voting rights, either. Never mind the pervasive corporate sponsorship of most members on working groups, regulatory capture etc.

But I think it's still better than ad hoc "RTFC" standards or BFDLs.
They've gone for a large constellation of small satellites with short lives, which is a set of design choices that all feed into each other.

Satellites are traditionally designed to last for a long time because they're so expensive to launch. As such they're also expensive to make, and it's slow to iterate on them.

Being in low-earth helps the launch cost (on top of the existing SpaceX advances). Putting out 60 per launch helps too.

Google, like all modern web companies, have a similar approach to lowering the floor when it comes to usability.

1 .Assert that a computer interface is unacceptably complicated and asking for any level of computer literacy is nerd bullshit for poindexters.

2. Change to something superficially more approachable, but requires users learning another custom one-off interaction model.

3. Crash the usability ceiling into the floor so none of those shifty nerds get any ideas.

4. Hide everything else in a hamburger menu, and then use surveillance data to tell yourself that because features aren't used therefore nobody would benefit from using them.

Ever seen a highschooler use computers/phones? They're so fucking bad at it that they'll write school reports on their cellphones. Not only does it not cross their minds that touch tying on a real keyboard would be an improvement, they're resistive to the idea because they're soaking in media that guides them to the platform that makes the media the most money. FFS I saw a student unironically argue that doing CAD on a phone was better than a laptop.

I'm not sure that et even says that, just that they tested everybody who arrived on the plane and found a few with the infection but no symptoms. It doesn't say whether they can spread the infection in that state.
What about integrity and security of downloaded binary? You should implement signature check as well to verify binary.
The flu kills hundreds of thousands of people each year. So far, this virus has killed maybe 200, out of 7,000ish infections.

We’re a long way away from knowing how dangerous this virus is, but the media hype is waaaaay ahead of reality.
I think this is a perfectly good technical solution that they haven't built a modern UI for, is all. It's great that under the hood the feature will be easily scriptable using standard OS utilities.
Okay, lets say you're right. What does that imply about all the other things people do? Why are you watching movies - what is that a substitute for? Why are you exercising so much - what do you have to hide from yourself?

Given that you could (and should) ask these questions legitimately, why focus on recreational psychadelics? I think the answer is that you've internalized a particular cultural story about drugs, and you probably have Nancy Reagan to thank for that.

Being against mushrooms seems particularly odd, since every human being on the planet involuntarily falls unconscious and hallucinates for hours every single night, including you. In the hierarchy of damaging escapist behavior, it's pretty low I think (far lower certainly than say, Facebook or Twitter usage).
Changing the Home Assistant Brand
You don't need to scale. You're not Google, Amazon or FB to have a billion daily active users.

And if you manage to make it to that scale, you can certainly hire engineers to refactor those systems. Fix the problem only when you encounter it.

Parsing 1Tb of logs daily with a 14 day retention? A desktop with a NAS attached can do that.

The corps that developed these fancy tools and then open sourced them and labeled them hipster ish names? Of course they want engineers out there to use them, it's called vendor lockin.

India reports its first case of coronavirus
Even if it does have a monopoly on space based internet (there are some good counter-arguments in the sibling comments), that doesn't mean it has a monopoly on internet access as a whole.

Lots of us could benefit from Starlink without ever paying a subscription - just look what happened with US internet providers in cities where Google Fiber launched. Once they had some reasonable competition they suddenly discovered that they could deliver a much better quality of service. Starlink will force the wired carriers to compete properly, for maybe the first time ever.
RDBMS doesn't work but columnar databases such as BigQuery, Snowflake, and Presto make it work. I agree that web/product analytics data is hard to get it done the right way thus people rely on specialized solutions such as Mixpanel and Amplitude but I believe that as companies started to be more privacy-concerned and want to fill the gap in between the product and other company data such as marketing, finance, etc, it will change over time.
See how it's possible to run funnel, retention, segmentation queries in Firebase Analytics data on BigQuery with SQL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tXVG785_0M
Show HN: An app for programmers to kill time between builds or code compilations
It's mind-boggling to me how things are changing. In my surroundings, I am a tiny minority that never does drugs, smokes or drinks alcohol. Nearly 100% of people do that and if you don't do that, you are the weird one. Same thing goes for eating crap food. I eat clean (got 8 pack etc.) and that's another thing that changed.

I can't claim that I know the exact reasons why people insist on this, but to me it looks like deeply unhappy people trying to find quick happiness in drugs or alcohol. But I have yet to meet a single person that is truly happy (and isn't faking it on Instagram posting "life is good!111" pictures) that is fat/out of shape or does drugs. Not a single one. When I was younger, I just couldn't tell, until I started getting closer to people and see how unhappy they really are. You can't see that on the surface.

Something does not add up.

But I am certain that drugs is not the answer.

Snapchat launches Bitmoji TV: zany 4-min cartoons of your avatar
That's expected: I'm yet to meet anyone who can work effectively during withdrawls.

To resolve, just leave yourself at home or at a hotel with nobody else, a decent TV serial (BBC's various history documentary series are a great go-to) or computer game and food, and admit it will take three days for cravings to subside. It helps a little if you exercise. It's actually really easy, once you've succeeded once.

The real key is then not putting yourself in high risk situations (ie. drinking) for a week or two, because any time you restart is usually because of that. That was my hardest hurdle.

It can help to sync the quit with a change of environment or heavy endurance exercise (eg. multi-day hiking/cycle-touring which helps clear your lungs). Don't try to quit while stressed out at work or on a short timeline, that's just self defeating.
It's a release page. If ever in doubt of where you are, look at the URL.

Guacamole is quite well known in the Linux world.

Release page being linked is appropriate given the title.
It’s true WRT to most drugs eg coffee, alcohol, marijuana etc. But a mushroom experience is something really special which can help you love yourself and accept yourself more, plus you do t really want to do it frequently.
Anything made from natural sources will be contaminated to some degree. The only thing that should be (relatively) clean is fully synthetic vape stuff.
