not interested in debating semantics. data is turned from input streams of bytes into coherent structures in your system. the process of turning data into coherent structures is input sanitization. sanitization or validation or conformation - you can argue how to call it and where to use it, but if you don't - your internal bugs will be exploitable externally, good luck.

Seems like bad news for GDC - I wonder if they will provide discounts on their tickets? I would like to go but sadly my work won't cover the cost for me.
It's true that most the extension support is going away for now.

From there GitHub project it doesn't sound like the only thing that won't meet feature parity in the new version.

That being said I am using nightly preview and am really enjoying it and would recommend it.

And if you still want all those extensions you could always fork the current version like waterfox.
Testing is a critical part of controlling the outbreak. It's not just a publicity stunt.

The OP is absolutely right to be appalled at how little testing the US is doing compared to South Korea.

Also your "get off your high horse" comment is not constructive, and is against HN guidelines[1], which ask:

"Be kind. Don't be snarky. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

Have you tried looking? There's LibraryThing and a couple others.

I don't think there's much value left on the table in the niche, though. Kindles have first-class Goodreads sync and even a Goodreads button in their global navbar. And Goodreads' competitors, for the few people who don't want to use Goodreads, already have a deep rut of incumbency.

Even you, who has supposed great issues with Goodreads, apparently wasn't bothered enough to even see if competitors existed all this time, much less before writing your comment. Doesn't bode well for the Goodreads' competitor market, lol.
There's a yellow banner (that you can't even close) shown every few weeks, and it's usually related to the Pipelines being down, again. That often results in degrading functionality in other parts of the project too. And it's still slow as molasses. I wish I'll never have to use Bitbucket again, in the future.
Yes, this is such a foolish move. I have six extensions on my Firefox Android install, and the fact that five of them will not work for who knows how long after initial release makes me want to switch to another browser. I just might. We'll see.

They may have missed that one, because at the same time they introduced both pagination and search to the repository membership page, and boy did that help us on one of our repos with a few hundred direct collaborators, by the end we could only manage access through the API because the page didn't even load most of the time.
Unfortunately, sickness and death also have an economic impact. I have no idea how to balance those two forces.
This disease has a potentially long incubation period, and patients do not get severely ill without weeks of development.

You are not seeing an outbreak yet simply because it is still brewing, not because it isn’t there.
"Well, Technically", 3-ply masks are fine enough to trap germ particles. They consist of a woven:non-woven:woven layer, the non-woven layer blocking nanometer particles. If you look at a n95 mask, it has the same woven:non-woven:woven layer structure.

The problem of 3-ply masks is that 10-25% of the air you inhale leak from the side/nose, bypassing the filter. n95 mask "fixes" the problem by tight(er) fitting, not by additional filtering layers.

Given the uncertainties and low worldwide penetration of low-carbon anything, I think there's a reasonable case to be made for the opposite conclusion: it may be risky to not invest in nuclear.

Obviously this conclusion is far less popular.

Fortunately investing in various clean energy tech is not a zero sum game because of various investor's predilection to invest in one sector or the other but often not both.
I've been working on GraphQL services since 2015. I worked on the design of the precursor to postgraphile; it was called postgraphql. Hadn't heard of Hasura before today, but it looks interesting.

The primary complaints I hear from others about GraphQL are observability and the learning curve for devs who are new to it. I think these projects add a lot of value with tools like the GraphQL playground (similar to GraphiQL but better), middleware extensibility for observation/analytics, their documentation, and most importantly the starter/boilerplate projects.

IMO, the preferred option today is Prisma. They have a non-production-ready v2 that is available for testing. But even v1 is good for an enterprise product; and they're working on migration/codemod to get onto v2 when it's ready.

But the other big piece of the puzzle is deciding on a GraphQL client. It seems like most choose Apollo + Redux, but Relay is, without a doubt in my mind, the better library/framework for consuming GraphQL in the frontend. Facebook designed React, Relay, and GraphQL to work together really nicely. Relay takes some re-learning to think about frontend data dependencies and caching, but it's really well designed.

I think GraphQL on its own has value as a centralized contract between frontend and backend services, and is a nice query and mutation language; but without Relay I don't think you get the full benefits of all the hard work that goes into the GraphQL service design. And teams/organizations that end up with Apollo/Redux designs suffer from complexities around cache management that Relay does a better job of reducing.
The latest word from the CDC is that they’ve run 3,625 tests and that the testing capacity should double soon.

hmm, I take it you mean +ev and -ev ? not sure if I'm revealing too much, but as someone who is not white, or one of the "model minority", who grew up in what many would consider the "hood", attended one of the worst high schools in the country, I have felt my life has been inherently -ev due to the zipcode I grew up in / the color of my skin, who sees the many anti-AA views on this forum (advantages gained from AA are way overstated, if anything it helps rich URM more than those who are poor) and has been discouraged from pursuing a job in traditional tech given all the bullshit about inclusion and diversity that is spewed while their actions say otherwise, I consider the stock market the great equalizer. The barrier to entry is lower than most tech jobs and the color of your skin or your background doesn't change the potential outcome when a trade is placed, getting a job in the industry is a different story though. I've had a hard time hearing back from quant firms (quant from bb that rhymes with oldman slacks said my cv had too many "red flags" to be considered). When talking to universities about grad school, they really didn't give a shit that I was a URM like a lot of people will have you believe, they just wanted money. This bought me time to pursue independent study, where I've been teaching myself stochastic calc, math behind ML, additional programming in hopes of landing a jr quant role where performance is more objective with less layers of abstraction when it comes to value provided, people don't really care how you look if you you can point directly at how much money you made them. So given that most my life has been inherently -ev, I'm not going to lie it feels great for a change and I plan to run with this. Given where I grew up, dog eat dog is what I know, I thrive under pressure and stay rational in chaos, growing up I've had to hyper-analyze situations to anticipate any worst case scenarios that might occur and gtfo before shots are fired. I guess if I were a character from Peanuts, I'd be Pig-pen.
#2 is only true if you get a proper mask and wear it properly. N95 or better. #3 is always true but it is of limited (near zero) value if you aren't also using other methods, namely washing hands.

#1 is not true at all unless you get a proper mask, with a filter, and use it properly. Most people are walking around with a mask they got off the shelf at Walmart that is acting about as effectively as a halloween costume.

N95+ masks are expensive. Currently $20 per mask on Amazon.

> It's like there is this thirst for disaster or some global drama everywhere

People like to pretend like the world is causing their internal state, that their mood is an inevitable product of the environment they're in. I feel catastrophic, disastrous, and look at all the evidence that the world is headed for a cliff! True, we're embedded in our world, but a peaceful person doesn't spend as much time focusing on Eschatology.

We'll see. To be honest I don't really have a problem with the current Firefox on Android. Maybe I'll get accustomed to the bottom url bar.

I also use Firefox Focus for links from external apps.
Is that a problem? Yes... like I said and shown in my experiment that you can repeat yourself, most masks are like toys, not air sealed or fitted properly and a lot of air gets through the sides, doesn't matter if you breathe in or out, gaps are still there (you will notice cold air entering on the side of the mask when you breathe in, especially if you worn the mask for a while and it gets a little soggy).

Of course, don't get me wrong.. they do work to a degree if fitted properly with the right grade of filtet, but the problem that people are putting too much faith in these things, especially the ones you buy from the combinis..
But that's precisely my point. I'm not saying that you or the OP is actually arguing the extreme of the position, I'm saying that the argument that "cutting the budget is needless" because "lives are on the line" implies the extreme unless you are willing to accept that there is a correct amount of diminishing returns where we would agree that cuts to the budget were not needless, but justifiable, regardless of lives being on the line. So if we accept that we both agree that there is a figure where this tradeoff takes place, then what I'd like to know is why the previous figure was correct, and the figure post-cuts is not.
A work in progress that removes significant features that the existing release has is... not a great idea. I'm not sure what percentage of Firefox Android users have more extensions installed than uBlock Origin, but this is a recipe for losing users. And not just any users, but the more-technical power users that tend to be best at evangelizing products to their less-technical friends and family.
FWIW, I went the other way, mostly because I found the GraphQL queries that I wrote in Hasura to be much nicer to read than the equivalents that I got with Postgraphile.
The manolo blahnik patterns were dismissed in the OJ trial, but yeah this kind of stuff was always semi-magic.

You want to start measuring the closet to your users. In most cases that would be some sort of load balancer. I don't think there's much we can do without going to the client side.

Woops you're totally right, so that's shaves off a lot. I found a resource that says a young tree captures about 5kg per year. The 20kg per year figure is for a 10 year old tree. That brings it down to having to plant about 110 trees every year for 5 years.

No one knows if it's transmissible during the entire incubation period. It's almost certainly not given how other viruses behave. Also the possibility of transmission during asymptomatic periods doesn't mean that it's likely, or that most transmissions happen during that time.

> migrating from aws to azure & hitting some bumps

Could be the IO? I remember colleagues working on getting stuff running on azure and they experienced horrible IO latency, as well as very low throughput for lots of small IO (aka unix-style software).

Was a few years back so it might have improved since, but if those things are still non-optimal and github is built with a unix-style vision of tons of small IO access…

This specific outage taught me that github apparently stores git repos on-disk which I was not expecting though (because the API access complained it could not delete repos until they'd fully backed to disk or something).

I saw a youtube video recently about the extensive use of cell phones to play old school runescape. Like it’s everywhere in every prison in the last couple of years. People not only play it but also use it’s currency for real world trading. Apparently violent behavior is down wherever people are playing.

I’d love to find corroborating evidence for this, because I find it completely facinating.

> The Youtube question has to primarily do with that they're the primary go-to for videos online that aren't related to pornography

Why draw the line at pornography? It's legal and protected speech (at least "mainstream" porn, not talking about child porn or anything like that).

It's easy to say "well obviously YouTube isn't going to host that!", but it feels if we're going to compel them to platform speech they don't like, why would it stop at porn exactly?

I disagreed with your point above but I actually upvoted to offset some of the downvotes. HN really should reserve downvotes for problematic stuff or spam, not just people disagreeing where to draw the line for free speech.

Soap and water definitely work to reduce infections, even when using a shared sink. Look up what happened in the 19th century when people finally figured this out and started hand washing regularly, infectious disease transmission in settings like hospitals dropped dramatically.

I've always been a huge fan of the Graphile (aka postgraphile) approach. It's just an open-source library, that you can run as a binary when you're just getting started. But when you start getting deep in production territory, it's extensively pluggable and you can gradually swap everything out for your own code, contribute/fork if you need (it's just TS), etc. Full control.

I love the Hasura folks too, and they're a funded startup rather than a one-person operation relying on donations. Open source is hard, and benjie (creator of graphile and many other things, he's incredible) could use some help: https://www.patreon.com/benjie
This is true, but for a compiler project, I think compiler expertise is a much bigger gating factor than language expertise. If you want to maximize effective contribution, you're probably better off picking a language that lots of compiler hackers know.

Once I fixed it it turned out I am blacklisted from requesting new certs for 7 days, per their rate limits. That made me come back to drawing board for 60-some domains I ran and just purchase the damn certs. They so cheap these days unless you ran a hobby website its just not worth the savings.
China’s response in the beginning was exactly the same. Only people who had been to Wuhan seafood market and had fever got tested and we had testing kits shortages too.

But US have the advantage of hindsight. Why they are repeating Wuhan’s mistake is beyond me.
I worked for a hedge fund where a quant dev emailed to his gmail a copy of the source for the quant models. He was sued in federal court 4 hours before he was terminated.

> That quote is so spot on that I'm going to get it printed on a mug.

There are other issues with the quote. Look at where and when George Bernard Shaw lived (1856 - 1950) in the United Kingdom. The elan of the era that Shaw grew up in Britain was all about "taming" nature and "civilizing" the benighted brown people. This was the era where people went to areas that had previously been jungles and tried to have manicured British lawns. This was also the era where Great Britain tried to impose the British way of life over civilizations that were thousands of years older than it. In many ways, our world is still recovering from the effects of the "unreasonable men" that George Bernard Shaw talks about.
The good data quality is actually an artifact of humans being involved in every step of the cataloging process. There's a large group in goodreads called the GoodReads Librarians, and that group has around a hundred thousand dedicated people who go through and flag anomalies, correct titles and indexes etc

Book publishers or people who've worked in book publishing will know that the book database is one area you don't want to mess with unless you know what you are doing. ISBN's are not the be all and end all of the story, and when you start taking into account special editions, covers, ebook editions, language translations, you'll start to realize that the Book Catalog system going back in history, including Dewey decimal system is a marvel of human achievement.

Of course establishing a good quality index is going to take work. People often forget that quality take human work and effort.

EDIT: I lied. I changed the number from my original estimate of a "few hundred" to "hundred thousand". The Goodreads Librarians group has 103718 members as of when I just peeked now - so it's actually a large number of humans submitting fixes to their catalog.

https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/220-goodreads-librarian...

If you take a look at the kind of discussions taking place, those are the kinds of things any competitor to Goodreads needs to know about.

Most masks won't filter the virus. N95 can only filter particles greater than 0.3 microns and the corona virus is around 0.16 microns.

The masks are more for stopping behavioral habits for non-infected people like touching your mouth and nose but then you could touch your eyes too...

The masks are more for the infected people who could sneeze and spread the virus particles much further than if blocked by the mask.
