What are those risks, like, what do they look like quantified?

"Waste of money and resources" is relative if you're only blowing ~$200 bucks. Even if there is a 8-10% chance of a false positive, they're cheap enough to do two... or 8. Kinda like how people by multiple cheap birth control tests.

Anecdote: I've had hernia problems off and on courtesy of the USMC and did no less than three (3) sonograms after being referred by different GPs to do so -- and they found nothing. Symptoms didn't go away and I kept going back. This was in the Inova system around Washington DC, one of the better systems in the US. One afternoon I double over in pain and end up in emergency surgery because, low and behold, I did actually have a hernia and it was strangulated; my intestine was literally dying one inch at a time. Emergency surgery saved my life, but I paid ~3-4K for all of those sonograms & consults + more for the actual surgery. All in maybe $8-10K.

Walmart-tier medical may not be great, but one of the better health systems in the US failed me just as effectively, and at a greater cost. Would 5 Walmart sonograms have found it? 10 scans? Maybe not, but I probably could have done 10 scans and still saved money.
I'm generally pretty old school when it comes to development practices but I can totally understand how appealing it is to effectively ship your entire environment as part of your application instead of relying on shared dependencies. Dealing with dependency incompatibility is a huge maintenance burden in my experience, and it's super tricky to debug if you don't have access to the problematic environment (which is most of the time if you deal with public projects).

That's why I really try to get into docker for instance, sure good old unix sysadmin and configure scripts might arguably be more elegant and efficient but it's a huge pain to maintain and can (and eventually will) break out the blue after a system update because of a regression in some obscure library. Meanwhile docker images should work mostly everywhere without any effort and you only update your dependencies when you want to update them.

So now that storage is cheap and RAM is plentiful I think shipping the dependencies as part of the executable is a reasonable approach most of the time. The problem with electron is that the dependencies involve a full web browser and half a trillion libraries. That's the insane part. I have full python virtual envs for non-trivial apps that are a fraction of the footprint of an electron hello world. It's the core technology that's broken, not the packaging.

> There's no technical reasons I know of why sites like TechCrunch can't use it.

Of course there is - a web server that gets a certificate via LE is a single screw. A commercial internet-facing site is a high rise. One does not just replace a screw in a high rise -- it requires ensuring that the right tools are in every toolbelt to manipulate the screws. For Caddy to be useful in a non- oh look ma, i'm on the internet projects, it needs to fit into the tooling system.

For example, it should be fetching storing certificates in a database that can be accessed by multiple servers. Rather than doing everything behind the scenes, it should be emitting events indicating its desire to renew a cert and let someone else handle ( maybe a different caddy ) handle the renewals, etc, etc, etc.

Also the expiry date of a cert I think is based on local time of the browser, not utc. So the website might work for the owner of the site while being unaccessible to someone from a different time zone.

This just does not look appealing to me. It's ugly, too large, and it stands out in a way that contrasts badly with one's attire. It's nice that Amazon is trying alternatives to watches but this does not look like a winner to me.

I have an Apple Watch and can't imagine anyone who has one also getting an Echo Loop or replacing their watch for an Echo Loop. If people don't want to fidget for their phone for mundane tasks I think they'll go for a watch instead of a ring. My watch has cellular so most times when I leave my house I don't carry a phone with me. There are no advantages to the Echo Loop over a watch save cost and the cost savings isn't anywhere near enough in my opinion to entice people to get an Echo Loop.

Me and my friend once discovered one when we were kids.. Dunno what age we were, say 8.. We were exploring this abandoned country estate house that was near his house.. In a library there was one shelf that was still filled with books, turns they were fake books and the shelf was a door. It led to a stone staircase going down to a little underground chapel.. It was super creepy at the time.. Awesome experience tho. I still remember it obvs.

That house has since been done up and is a super posh hotel / golf course now. Now called 'Faithlegg house hotel'.

Windows seems to be designed for people who aren’t savvy enough to use Linux, and don’t want to buy a Mac. They get away with egregious design practices, because the OS is ubiquitous and the common user has no other choice.

Mac OS on the other hand, has kept a fairly consistent design, mostly due to the obvious barrier to entry for most people ($$$), so any mistakes that would impact usability could easily give someone a reason to not spend $1k on a laptop or even more on a desktop.

Microsoft needs more competition. What’s stopping them from re-skinning Windows 10 to resemble Windows 7, and add actual functional improvements? They’ve done that recently, but they didn’t need to redesign their start menu to add workspaces (just one example).
> This is an extradition hearing. It doesn't matter whether Assange is guilty of the alleged crimes the US has come up with or not,

That can't be true. For an extradition to happen, the requesting party must provide some evidence - not for a conviction, but to establish that the charges were made in good faith and that it is not unreasonable that the accused will actually be found guilty. States can't just frivolously request extradition. AFAICT.

> You can even make a case that almost nobody should be extradited to the US by any country

Yes, for the reasons you gave and others.
>Two months before the collapse of Bear Stearns, the first investment bank claimed by The Great Recession, The New York Times ran a story entitled, "Can banks self-regulate?" Clearly, the answer was no.

To nitpick on this quote further: recessions are the market correcting itself. A recession can mean that a bubble was growing in the market and it burst. In that sense, if banks are allowed to fail then they are self-regulating: the market decides which banks can survive and which can't. The downside is that due to how fractional reserve banking is set up and how the banks are interconnected that the failure of one can cause a cascade.

In regards to tech companies, I wonder if they're not simply overvalued. If the value of tech companies gets cut in half then I can see it causing quite a few problems.
How about: "Sufficient levels of stupidity are indistinguishable from malice"
A careless cook is unlikely to injure others, whereas a careless smoker could burn down the entire apartment complex.

Based on the American principle of jurisprudence commonly known as "sue the one with the most money", the families of those burnt-up people would probably go after the cigarette manufacturer.

The smoker, after all, would probably not routinely have burning embers smoldering in their home without the cigarette, would not be careless with fire without the casual familiarity with the burning cigarette, and would not be smoking at all without the addictive herbs and chemicals added to the cigarette by the manufacturer.

Imagine if a firearms manufacturer used television and movies to promote the idea that frequently firing live rounds in your own home was a fun and relaxing activity that is completely normal and acceptable (like Elvis shooting his television--free endorsement!). And occasionally someone might die from overpenetration. Gunmakers would then probably promote something like aramid or kevlar fabric wallboard sheathing, too, for more bullet-resistant walls. Arms companies have not, in fact, done anything quite that careless, yet they still get sued occasionally when gun owners are negligent. Not because they deserve the blame; because they have the most money.

If that knife manufacturer had deep pockets, you can bet your ass that eventually some clumsy cook would sue them.
> [Google] Docs started to experience selective performance issues and bugs on Firefox

As a firefox user, the thing that annoys the hell out of me is the inability to use the mouse menu for cut and paste in Google Docs unless you're using chrome. I don't understand why it forces you to use the keyboard shortcut. I'm an emacs user, and find the windows-y keyboard shortcuts foreign, so I have to think about them, and prefer just using the right-click mouse menu.

It worked quite well, until software release cycles got stupidly short. It was always a pain in the ass to have to install the Visual C++ runtime, but there were only so many versions of it. These days you have people linking a hundred DLLs that release new versions monthly, sometimes weekly.

So that means only 25% of your users will still have IE since they never upgrade? Then you have corporate environments where IT held back Edge because internal business software requires IE. (Yes that is still a thing. Yes you can install them both. Yes, IT will still do that.) Then you have systems where some badly written installer broke the native web view but the user isn't noticing because they only use Chrome.

This is Windows after all.

Why no macOS in the comparison?

For a moment I thought Neutralino didn't support macOS.
I assume you're quoting the "Why Neutralinojs is better" page:

https://github.com/neutralinojs/evaluation/blob/master/READM...

This page was last updated 2/28/2019. Last month, Microsoft Edge was rereleased as a Chromium based browser. Presumably this would change the Windows frontend for Neutralino to Chromium, but I'm only speculating.

Edit: It appears that a Chromium system-provided web view for Windows is still in developer preview:

> Machines only follow the instructions humans tell it to follow.

I suggest that you read something about AI and ML. The "instructions" that go into these pipelines are many levels removed from the outputs. It's like saying that cells only follow the DNA instructions given to them - ignoring evolution, mutagens, exogenetics, etc. The original instructions don't tell anywhere near the whole story.

Is the opacity of these algorithms a problem? Yes, it surely is, precisely because the machines are not just following instructions in any meaningful sense.
Seems easy to parse for people used to working with bit sets in C. The &~ operator is actually two operators frequently used together to do a set difference(†). So it's asking whether n is different from removing all the bits of n from x. The answer is true.

†: It's so frequently used that on x86_64 there's a single instruction for that, ANDN.

Unless of course you are talking about Haskell and its semigroup combine operator and its lens update operator. In that case the expression can't type check: n has type State s a, x has type s, and n also has type s, which means s is an infinite type and fails occurs check.
Oh I understand that, believe me. That's an operational reason, though, and not as much a technical one.

By the way, Caddy CAN store certs in a database accessed by multiple servers. It coordinates cert management when configured as a cluster, automatically. Caddy is the only server that does this (for free).

This exactly. With more traditional approaches it can be very difficult to find exactly what css rules are affecting what elements. Tailwind is more verbose but also requires a lot less context to understand what’s going on.

It also makes responsive styling a lot easier in my experience.
There's also Traefik if all you want is a load balancer for services run Docker containers. It does Lets Encrypt as well.

Right now I use the official HAProxy container + the official certbot container and a script that renews all my domains and then sends a sig-HUP to HAProxy to reload the certs. It mostly works but there have been a few hickups (HAProxy not starting because of the README file in the live LetsEncrypt folder; however if you send an HUP, it ignores it fine).

Has anyone used Traefik? Is it worth switching to over HAProxy+Certbot?

Also some other websites employ a similar dark pattern: When you click "Show options", they show a page where every cookie is disabled and they put down a huge "Accept all and continue" button with a small "Save my settings" button. You almost click it instantly because you think the huge button will save your settings, but actually you will be giving consent for all cookies.

Zip Files: History, Explanation and Implementation
Preface: I am not a virologist. I don't really know what I'm talking about, but I would like to spark a discussion.

https://jvi.asm.org/content/82/4/1899

This 2007 paper from the Wuhan Institute of Virology claims that an "HIV-based psuedovirus system" could be used to enable SARS-Like CoVs to jump to human hosts. As we recently discovered, SARS-CoV-2 has 4-5 "HIV inserts."

Is it possible that SARS-CoV-2 was a byproduct virus engineered from this research?

I don't buy the bioweapon theory, I don't think there is any hard evidence to prove that. What I do buy is that there were two different labs doing work on coronaviruses near the seafood market attributed to the breakout (and we now know a dozen or so patients did not visit the market, meaning it came from somewhere else...), and it is entirely possible that a failure in safety protocol could have led to an accidental release of research samples into the real world. It would not be the first time it has happened.

I do still think it's entirely possible for it to have originated "in the wild" as well, but it would have to be a hell of a coincidence given the facts at hand.

No I have the Domain knowledge and know that it’s a crash that occurs on odd weeks in France. I noticed it while developing and I can confirm it in the code. This to me is exactly as severe as the same crash in the US (as far as I’m aware). I must assign a high severity.

However I have little to no knowledge of the business (markets, release schedule). I’m not even aware that we have zero users in this region. A manager I have never met assigns a low priority, two months later.

Domain and business overlaps, but for example if one doesn’t mark this “severe” because the business hasn’t launched for affected customers, then a year later when it is launched in France you have a low severity bug that should be high.

The priority can be constantly re-evaluated against business needs while the severity is fixed.

Yes this is a simple technical characterization. It’s not useless to separate the business-stopping bugs from the cosmetic. And importantly: It’s not my call to say what is important.

Someone might say that the font size is more important than a deadlock. I don’t care and I don’t want to care. But I’m rather sure that those that do make those decisions want to be able to sort the bugs I wrote by a severity.
1. I meant, why is the government pursuing any legal action against him, not why he's in custody vs house arrest.

2. Even the claim that he is a flight risk is disputed. Assange has not ran away or hid anywhere - neither while in Sweden nor in the UK. He asked for political asylum, which is not the same as flight. Not to mention the fact that Assange is in a poor condition, physically and mentally, after years of detention and months of harsh solitary confinement, and if anything, should be transferred to a civilian medical facility for treatment and recuperation.
I caved in and made a specific container-type in Firefox just for TechCrunch articles, given they pop up so frequently here on HN.

My list of containers will become a bit unwieldy in time, I think. I should probably consolidate some types and take the hit a bit on some cookie sharing behind the scenes.

What a mess.
Feedback – looking for feedback on a concept for dev tool for promotion/raise
My friend and I are software devs and we thought the promotion review process was horrible. We had to manually go back through out JIRA, Github, emails, and docs to put together our promotion packet.

We’ve been thinking about building a tool geared to help this process for software devs. Basically, the idea is the tool would integrate with your work suite tools (GSuite, Github, JIRA, Trello, etc.) and automatically build your promotion packet based off completed work.

We just built this landing page to give an idea of what we’re thinking: https://rize.io

My question is what do you all think? Do you think that this would actually be helpful? Would you use this? Would appreciate any feedback and feel free to brutally honest.
They didn't. The nuclear industry failed to innovate themselves out of increasing costs. It is regulatory bodies that set the requirements, not Greenpeace, and those requirements are based on risk calculations.

It could be that the industry is just dysfunctional. But it could also be that nuclear tech is just way harder in the real world than what some people seem to think.
Yeah, that was a misprint on my part; I should have referred to them as density classifiers, which is what they are. My brain got jumbled because my broader point came later on, in how there was a time years ago when many apps were elying on them as a signal for screen size, to the point where I saw apps place layout files in a specific mdpi or xxhdpi folder.

Of course, today, I'm sure the Android landscape is more mature and different; I have less context about the thinking around a modern android app today.
There are source out there for accidents, traffic information and construction where the system could pretty reliably predict when it's going to encounter an odd traffic pattern that would be better handled by a human than the automated systems. In cases where there's a decision needed extremely quickly we're generally talking about an accident or near accident that relatively simple existing assistance systems like autobraking and obstacle avoidance would handle.

Trucks are already really slow compared to traffic inside cities and in the rare cases where they're in this mode on a highway they're probably already in a slow traffic area because they're dealing with construction or accident areas.
