It will be interesting to see how elastic the supply of healthcare services is in the US versus the social systems if a pandemic does break out. History has shown that when mobilized for a common cause, the US is a force even when compared to socialist and authoritarian states. Thunder God Mountain may not have been possible in the US, but in the worst case scenario, it will interesting to see what is possible in the US.
TFA touches on this with validation - validation is ux improvement - help the user submit only valid data. At that point there should be no proper use-case for invalid data to be submitted - hence reject, not sanitize and insert.

I do wonder why so many big websites have chosen to present huge annoying cookie banners to people that are still, at first glance, a clear violation of GDPR. (Like having no explicit opt-in, often not offering an opt-out besides the notice to close the site etc.)

Why annoy your users if your are not compliant anyways?
Hello Everyone, I just created a list of network effect resources. I know there are people interested in this subject you can check it out the list. If you have any suggestions of resources or any feedback please either reply to this or send me a mail at firat@jooseph.com
What a lot of people don't know is that you're allowed to use cookies for analytics purposes with GDPR, as long as you're anonymizing and as long as they're not used for cross-site/device tracking and advertisement.

The Dutch personal data authority even published a guide for Google Analytics explaining exactly what to do: https://www.autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl/sites/default/file... and they ruled that you don't need permission to enable the cookies when you do. You do need to have a privacy policy however.

You don't need explicit consent to provide functionality. When an user logs in, their consenting to storing cookies on their computer is implicit.

Doesn't it? Once you're logged in, presumably because you've created the account you've consented to some kind of privacy policy?

The point of the cookies notice is to let you know that the site tracks you even if you're just using it passively.

Many people might not be aware of this; few outside of the types that frequent HN are aware of the scale of it.

That's the point.
Notice that browsing without cookies nor javascript makes such notices invisible and most sites much faster and usable.
> When someone buys a radio/TV Superbowl ad they don't track who heard/saw it

Not long ago there was a front-page HN post about Smart TVs. From a lot of the comments I gather that, at least for TV, they now do. Possibly for some forms of radio too.
I sent this email to my team last night. Feel free to steal it for your own workplaces.

We should consider working from home.

You may all have seen the news by now. A patient was just diagnosed with COVID-19 at UC Davis after having no known contact with anyone travelling. Importantly, they were diagnosed after being intubated already for 7 days. It is suspected that this is the first known case of public transmission of the virus in the US. From what we know about the incubation times and progression of the illness, that means they contracted it sometime between 14-21 days ago. This is the letter UC Davis sent to their staff.

If the virus has already been in the wild in California for 3 weeks, it seems likely to me that it has or will reach the bay area, and given the limited testing capability that has been reported, we may not know until the first cases end up in the ICU, weeks after exposure.

The death rate for young healthy people is relatively low, around 0.2%. It is much higher for older people, who it kills in double digit percentages. Still, 20% of the people it infects need intensive hospital care. Many epidemiologists now suspect that it is likely to become endemic, and that 40-70% of the world's population will contract it. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/02/covid-vac...

So what can we do?

The most important thing to keep the death rate low is to reduce the burden on the hospital system so that they don't end up with more cases needing critical care than they can handle. And the most important thing for reducing the burden on hospitals is to slow the spread of the virus, so that even if it ends up infecting all of us, it doesn't infect all of us at once.

We're fortunate enough that aside from impromptu collaboration and whiteboarding, all of our concrete tasks can be done at home. Most workers will not be in this situation, and will have to come to work to keep the economy running. For those of you familiar with random graph theory, the average number of edges in a graph has an exponential effect on its diameter, and so the best thing we can do is to avoid as much contact as we can. https://www.ndsu.edu/pubweb/~novozhil/Teaching/767%20Data/ch...

For people coming to the office, the WHO has a document on getting your workplace ready for COVID-19 that I'd encourage you to read and internalize. https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/getting...

I'm already conveniently WFH with a cold, which I hope is just a cold, but I think we should consider making this the norm, at least until we have more clarity on what the situation is.

All the way through the process I've struggled to understand who will benefit from Heathrow being a hub other than the airport itself. Especially now smaller airports have regular flights across the Atlantic and to other parts of the world.

I don't see why not. It's similar to other languages that have been the subject of AD research: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2019/0...

Concretely, we've only experimented with the usual forward-mode stuff with dual numbers implemented as a library. It works well, but is of course limited in utility.
That's exatcly in order to blow in this fog that you want to install a layer7 load balancer designed with observability in mind. Seeing what's happening is critical when everything changes by itself under your feed. With a component like haproxy you get accurate and detailed information about what's happening and the cause of occasional failures allowing you to address them before they become the new standard.
G4S, and other court staff, regularly misunderstand the rules. Every week there's a barrister or journalist complaining on twitter about the rules not being followed.

How would I expect this to be handled? I would expect the court to say what they want and for G4S (who serve the court) to accommodate that.
>>History has shown that when mobilized for a common cause, the US is a force even when compared to socialist and authoritarian states.

true...and then you get the $752,245.88 bill total from 36 different doctors and hospitals for a 7 day hospital stay.
Horrible thought - given the nature of this disease (kills aged 50+, very infectious) and the demographic of US leadership on all sides... what impact might this have on the dynamics of US politics?

Most input by humans is unicode. Most people do not understand unicode. Don't try to sanitize it other than checking it's valid utf8 - which hopefully your programming language's string type/http parameter deserializer/DB engine already do for you.

For example some people think that stripping ZWNJ, ZWJ or other kinds of spaces is a thing they ought to do because it confuses their markup parsers or can be used to encode hidden information in posts or stuff like that. Guess what, it breaks emoji, arabic, some asian languages and a bunch of other things.

If you only sanitize your output and realize you made a mistake you can easily fix it by changing your output sanitzing algorithm. If you santizied your input you threw away data and can't fix your problem.
The sync part is very interesting, I like that it’s happening after the mutation so that Im not forced to reimplement the graphql types myself.

This is what happens when you totally ignore that healthcare is a public issue that needs to be addressed publicly.

One cannot be pro-vaccination and anti-public-healthcare, for example, for reasons extremely analogous to the argument made in the twitter thread.
You can track what is technically needed for the website to function (ie: login, etc). You only need to notify about "extras"

Seems like moving it into the browser permissions model could be a good way - in a similar way to websites can ask for permission to show notifications or use your camera, and the browser handles prompting the user etc.

At the very least, it'd be more consistent across websites, you could see in your browser settings at any time which sites you have allowed to store cookies, probably set a global allow/reject etc.

I'm sure there are various reasons why this hasn't been done though

I saw this discussed before, and I think the conclusion was that this is just escalating an arms race. It just adds noise. Far better to just disengage if you can.

That means there is choice, which does not qualify as "forced".

It seems like this is a variant of the N-queens problem, which you can solve by backtracking. So it should be fairly easy to modify to include more sprinklers including using tiles for other things like scarecrows.

And actually it's a more complex problem - what happens if you include crops which you can't walk over, but have repeat harvest (like beans)? Back in the day of Harvest Moon you often had to waste a square because you couldn't access the centre.

In the original game(s) there were other constraints like seeds being scattered in a 3*3 grid centred on you. You couldn't sow individual tiles. At least now you don't waste 1/9 of your seeds on inaccessible tiles.

It would be fun for Stardew to model things like companion cropping, where you could get a productivity boost by planting certain things next to each other. Or if trees/buildings would shade areas. Or if pests were actually a thing, but maybe that would give real life gardeners PTSD when your whole farm dies of blackfly.
What do you mean by improving bus services? Greater West London is the most connected outside of Central, it's TfL policy not to invest in better, cleaner, greener buses not because the money is instead going to LHR expansion.

i think you're missing the point.

extracting "component" as code snippets does nothing if one day your boss tells you to change all the size and colors of all the buttons. you still have to go through your entire site and make the changes manually at every instance... or have the foresight to have a class on every button that you can reference through pure css to make the change without breaking tailwind... but at that point, why would have use tailwind to begin with.

> Thunder God Mountain may not have been possible in the US

What would you say would be the biggest impediment here? I would think actually that just government regulation in and of itself would prevent any private company from achieving this feat. And even Federal and State governments are similarly encumbered by regulation.
One of the reasons they gave for the delay of switching to wasm was that nacl had threading support while wasm didn't (wasm supports running in workers, but communication can only happen asynchronously through message channels, no advanced multi threading capabilities like sharing memory etc). Then spectre happened and delayed the wasm threading support of browsers even further. Chrome has experimental wasm threading now, but other browsers don't. So now the non-Chrome launch happens without usage of wasm threading.

ok, but considering how many fewer people take public transportation in the US, and on average how less dense living conditions are it may be that the risks balance out.

Edit: I will also say that health care in the US is excellent for many people. I know it is an unpopular opinion but all I can say that most people I know (myself included) have access to excellent health care, included with the employer-sponsored plan, with all costs covered (I pay directly into a tax-free health saving plan and use that, for the first $5K costs, after which additional costs are covered).
I still have to add in pagination to get more results.
The copyright argument on code contribution is orthogonal to the license. You are free to fork the repo and make whatever modifications on top and own the copyright on the addition but if you want to contribute code back, pretty much all popular open-source projects would want them to assign copyright back to them.

Licensing will govern what you can and cannot do with the repo you clone or fork. SSPL is GPL except for this additional hosting clause for service providers. So, the argument on whether it violates open_source ethos or not has to be around that clause.

> However, if you want to add new concepts into the IR, you should do it in the language that the IR is defined in.

And isn't that what most users will want to do? The point of MLIR is to provide a framework for writing mid-level IRs, citing among others the Rust compiler as an example. This will invariably involve adding both new concepts and new passes (for example, the Rust IR will presumably wish to represent and check ownership information explicitly), but the Rust compiler is written in Rust, not C++.

Don't get me wrong, I can't really think of a better language for implementing MLIR than C++. Everything that I would find subjectively better would be too obscure to gain industrial traction, and using straight C would probably be too painful. I just suspect that it will limit its use as a universal mid-level IR.
I do support this stance, but depending on your setup, there are gotchas website operators should be aware of. I see CDNs as a major hidden aspect: for the government, it looks like you're tracking people, even if you're not. So you'll need to host those JS and CSS frameworks on your own server, which I think is not that much of a problem, just something to be aware of.

However, the next issue is using Cloudflare or similar front ends. For example, I use their free tier on most of my websites. These reverse proxying services / DDOS mitigators / TLS terminators tend to set identifying cookies which website operators have little to no control over.

My point is that the web ecosystem contains lots of integration points that could lead to operators being liable in the eyes of the law, even if they're not actively tracking their users themselves - the services they use, do.

I worked at a place once where we were told to pick a naming system for the releases. We chose "Genesis" as the first one.

Our boss, whom we didn't know was religious, says, "that's fantastic! Books of the bible, yes?! Next release is 'Exodus'?"

"Er, no it's Start Trek, next release is gonna be called 'Picard'."
Which points do you have issues with? I think they all seemed on 'on-base'.
This is fantastic to see. First time I tried out Hasura back in late 2018 I was AMAZED.

After going through multiple different stacks such as MeteorJS, Firebase, building my own REST/GraphQL API etc. Nothing really felt right.

That was until I found out about Hasura.

I actually had to assemble a quick meetup at the co-working space I was on (true story) to show everybody this software. Hasura Tweet: https://twitter.com/HasuraHQ/status/1068145251267895300?s=20

They were all amazed and many use Hasura in production today in their apps.

For myself, I was so enthusiastic about Hasura and I always had Google Firebase in the back of my mind. Google Firebases DX is really good. I really liked it. But I did not like their tech (noSQ / REST / vendor lock-in).

So, I decided to start https://nhost.io.

Nhost is like Google Firebase but with PostgreSQL and Hasura (GraphQL). Right now providing database, API, auth and storage. Here is a short demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWB5RXzlJM8

I feel very fortunate to be able to work with such awesome open source software and the success of Hasura makes me so happy, because they are, as mentioned in the comments field before me, a game-changer!
Lets start with an analogy. Solving noisy fans via a specially designed radiator case is clever. Saying "just don't use fans" is useless smugness. This "article" is useless smugness.

Yes, not using cookies is a way to avoid it. To be useful for anything but personal satisfaction the function fulfilled needs to be solved as well. Even if it is a niche and highly qualified solution like "a low bandwidth largely plain HTML website with lower yielding non-tracking ads or a donation page can actually yield more money per hosting cost but results in far smaller websites" would still be infinitely better.
You don't "sanitize your inputs" for your datastore. You escape the outputs as you send it to your datastore. (Either through oldschool methods, or parameterization.)

Sanitizing your input means changing them permanently. You don't actually want to do that. You want to store exactly what the original value was, but you want to do it safely. When you retrieve it again, it should be the same as it was originally.

If you "sanitize" the input, you won't necessarily have the original value ever again.
True even in Norway and China.
Im going to say something that most people will find outrageous but I believe is true.

Americans do not care about their children (poor public education, college debt crisis, gun control, school shooting response) much less their neighbors (wealth inequality, slavery, racism, gender pay gap, homophobia) but they do care about money.

Therefore, I do not expect them to care about climate change until it impacts their money since climate change sits solely in the “it will impact your neighbors and children” camp.

This seems to be a global constant with regards to human nature but I don't know enough about global politics, biology, history or anthropology to say for sure.

With regards to DHH, I stopped caring about his often uninformed opinion years ago.

In the Java world 99% of the code is compiled with javac.

In the .NET world 99% of the code is compiled with csc (or whatever it's called, don't remember that well)

In the C world, with one of the biggest ecosystems and a fragmented history going back half a century, 99% of the code is compiled with GCC/Clang/VS CL (of which VS CL is there just because Microsoft insists on it being there).

Similar things happen with interpreters, CPython, Yarv, etc.

Javascript should innovate at higher levels. And it should have a linker and tree shaking compiler as default for every project, everywhere, so that people can stop making silly small libs and instead can use big ones that get compiled to small code bits that are distributed by websites.

Not to be that guy; but, I think you need a comma in there: "No, records are kept forever" or just remove "no." Maybe it was just me; but, I read that sentence as saying records were not kept forever.

Court records need to be kept, since they can provide precedent.

Really interesting human behaviour occurs when the subject isn't being watched. There's numerous headings for this in various fields: "hawthorne effect", "panopticon", "heisenberg effect" etc.

Of course, in principle the "cookie banner" should alert you to this, that's the point. But after a while people just get used to them. At least it's better than them not being there though ... can't say you weren't warned!
It seems like the US government isn't structured to deploy such resources so quickly (e.g., FEMA's responses to Katrina, Sandy, etc.) and regulation would seem to kill private efforts. Maybe a state or local government could pull it off with accommodation from federal regulators.
