Let's be fair, that's not the same thing. Apple purposefully made this behavior obtuse to stop users who don't know better from running TotallyLegitAdobeFlashUpdater.app

I think the current behavior is a fine compromise.
Maybe the could publish the current version with a different name (Firefox Rusty?) for the ones of us who want to keep using their extensions. The current Firefox feels fast enough on my phone. I can wait to install the new one when extensions support is complete.
So just right click then? What's the problem?
AFAIK, when you make a reddit account it asks you for your email, but you can just leave that field blank.

Unfortunately Wuhan experience showed that home isolation doesn't work. Caretakers will get infected. People also have needs that will make them or their caretakers go outside.
While it doesn’t solve the issue of not knowing a feature is there in the first place, if there’s something you’d like to do in an app, you can get a long way by hitting “Help” in the menu bar and typing it into the search field. If there are any matches for it you’ll immediately know you can do it, and it will open up the menu and show you exactly where it is (and the keyboard shortcut, if there is one).

This is the primary way I look for power-user or other non-obvious features in new Mac apps.
Which is exactly why they have also started temp-banning and banning people who consistently upvote posts that break the rules.

Show HN: Generating Synthetic Healthcare Records with GANs
I think this stuff is hilarious too, especially in the era of webpages that are really Javascript apps fed by a JSON API. It is not at all hard to have your JS app directly operate on DOM nodes without using markup at all. Create the DIVs and whatever else you want, create text nodes and shove them in there, done. Zero possibility of injection attacks because you told the browser "this is plain text, don't parse it" instead of making it guess.

I hand-rolled a library to do this back in like 2011. It took less than a day. The only downside was that you had to write the markup in JS code instead of templatized HTML, but it wasn't even that hard with a bit of syntactic sugar. It's fast too - creating DOM nodes directly is much easier than parsing HTML to create DOM nodes.
No. uMatrux offers way more granular control.

Offsite backups should be in place for this scenario. It's also extremely rare, and any place not aware of this threat is probably failing in other areas.
I greatly appreciate your prompt and very helpful feedback. The aspects that you mentioned are certainly interesting and, while the regulation aspect is not a significant issue in the domain I'm concerned about, the MVP aspect is certainly very much applicable.

As someone who has worked in the service industry as a server, manager, and eventually part-owner, why should we burden the business owner with the responsibility to pay when someone is sick and unable to work? This is compounded by the fact that service industry often requires physical presence, which translates to the business having to pay both the sick worker and the worker's temporary replacement.

Doesn't this fall to the government to create some kind of aid? At the very least, the gov could offer a tax break for wages paid sick workers.
Let's see, my two updated RPi4 4GBs, no added cooling, both idling:

$ vcgencmd measure_temp
temp=47.0'C

$ vcgencmd measure_temp
temp=50.0'C

Not amazing, but good enough for me.
I would think the person should ask for a raise or maybe what would need to be done to get a raise. I don’t see how the visa status needs to play in to good old expectation setting. The boss might say “never” or they might surprise both of you and have a real reason. Something wild like, we barely meet payroll obligations now and we know we can’t lay you off without you getting booted from the country so we pay you less to ensure your long-term employment here... not sure but as a general rule don’t pretend to know why someone else doesn’t get a raise. The reality can be surprising (good or bad)

Next you should advocate for the outcome you really want. “Fair and equal treatment of our visa employees”. This you can champion without getting ahead of yourself. I tend to find that pushing for the principle can be better than the specific instance. If you win, you accomplish more than your original intent and you’ve done humanity and your workplace a good deed. If you lose, you can sleep at night knowing you tried.
Army of 100k Chinese Ducks on Standby to Combat Locust Swarms

Supporting "liberty" would lead just as logically to being "anti-China" as it would to being "anti-US". China is perhaps more authoritarian, but not fundamentally different.
How about O visa? Some say it's not that hard to get as it may sound.
Thanks for the considered and thoughtful response.

I don't have much to add at the moment, but do still think that reducing waste (reducing the numerator, in the calorific viewpoint you suggest) is a reasonable goal - both in the supply chain and in consumer behaviour.

The lead times concern (especially during a food supply shock) is valid - the only analogy I can think of just now is backup stored energy; i.e. considering canned food as 'batteries'. Enough to survive off-grid for a while in an outage (and ideally rechargeable over longer time periods).
That's not a reason to use source control.
Many movies do this too. Transporter 2 is a great example. In The Transporter all of the cars sustain significant damage. There were no vehicle brand deals. Audi provided the vehicles for Transporter 2. They didn't even get scratched.

Your assumption here is that the enforcement of the new rule will be executed perfectly and without bias, and further that people will believe it will be enforced that way. This totally misses my central point.

There is a lot of discussion on the visa aspect, but not as much on the general advice relating to raises and promotions. Is he currently under paid for the position and responsibilities relative to others in the company? Or more generally to the market at large?

Another tip is to take credit for the work that makes a difference to the company, and in the bigger picture to be doing work that matters.
This is interesting but sadly their service is not accessible in Iran, one of the hardest hit countries by Covid-19, not due to censorship by the Iranian government, but due to server-side blocking of IP addresses originating from Iran. The reason: US sanctions!

I have worked at places where they just create a new folder and copy everything over. Backups do the rest. Occasionally they would ask for a restore and do a diff.
One thing that I don't see in the comments so far is pushing for collective bargaining or unionization. If workers are all looking out for other workers, you can establish salary minimums and make this sort of behavior unacceptable. Standing up for your coworkers is noble, and collective action is a great way to achieve that.
Well, looking at this sub-thread, I've just watched you keep your cool while pasabagi throws insults at you. So I would hope their behaviour would be more likely to result in bans.
You are ignoring the obvious for anyone observing the sub since its creation. I had meme post on Reddit long ago near its creation on if the sub was satire or not (it was started as satire in support of candidate Trump). Think AdviceAnimals Afroid to Ask Andy meme from Parks and Rec. Shortly after that the mod team turned over and it went down it's current path of clear rule breaking, racism, misogyny, and worse. You could read through the comment son most posts and find any sort of rule breaking behavior if not outright calls for violence. It's an echo chamber mods could not (or would not) stay on top of with a ton of reports to Reddit admins.

The current policy applied is to stifle the sub without a full ban to eliminate publication of its death. The policies for new mods are designed to either force in people who are disconnected from typical subscribers and can enforce the rules without bias or demonstrate how much of a cesspool it is and strengthen the argument to remove entirely.
Pretty presumptive to assume all "pros" would want scrollbars turned on and all non-"props" would want them turned off.

Hacker News on Telegram
That's perfectly fine if you don't care about it, but there are plenty of us that do.
That's a good rule of thumb there :) More pedantically, credit card numbers _aren't_ numbers in the first place. They are identifiers that happen to use numerical digits. Same as phone numbers. Treating them as numbers at any point in a system is an error. My dream is this detail of the HTML spec forces people to rethink their schema design while they're at it.
This is bad news for me. I'd like at least a 4x4 or 6x4 grid to be able to pin more sites. The Highlights below the grid are not very useful. Four of them take as much space as 4 grid lines and are only 4 sites.
There's not much to spy on. It's not like LetsEncrypt generate your private keys and give them to you. They sign a request that you send them (and they don't get to ever see your actual private key). So an evil CA won't be able to crack your encrypted website.

An evil CA can of course generate fake certificates for any hostname they like, but those people already exist. Have you taken a look at just how many different root CAs are out there, and are trusted by your OS/browser? It includes hundreds of companies and governments. Then there are even more (countless?) 'second level CAs' (I forget the proper term, sorry!) who can also generate and sign a trusted certificate for any hostname, because, while they aren't a root CA, their authority has been signed in turn by a top-level CA. The web of trust is very large and has many points of failure.
Also that way the data are safe if the company gets acquired by someone like 23andme or pivots away from this path themselves. The statement that they care about privacy is really great, but it's harder to actually live it.

Anyways, wishing them lots of luck in building a company that actually respects privacy and doesn't just claim it.
That's the point - Durov bashes WhatsApp for 'inconvenience' and supposed lack of privacy, but in reality this inconvenience is a result of real presence of privacy. In contrast, Telegram's convenience is a result of a real lack of privacy, because to work this way it has to have a way to decrypt user messages.

Of course, they tell tales on how deeply it is all encrypted on T's servers, and that only select few trusted engineers have keys, but those are just tall tales.

Instead of preaching source control, why not try framing the problem you perceive as risks that others can empathize with. If you can't, then perhaps it's not truely needed in that workplace.
I said that was one of -many- examples. Try reading around. China even went so far as to blame the outbreak on the US. Sounds a lot like the Soviet era. https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/02/15/coronavirus-xi-jinping-...

Outside of just lying about case numbers...

"But by Feb. 5, the funeral parlors and crematoriums were reported to be having problems keeping up with the disposal of the dead in Wuhan. Though no data was provided to address the matter, Wuhan’s lockdown was endangering not only the lives of coronavirus-infected individuals but also those of thousands of people who required medications and occasional treatment for such things as HIV infection, kidney disease, diabetes, and hypertension. Hospitals no longer welcomed them, medicines were running out, yet there is no count of their numbers or deaths."

"As the makeshift quarantine facilities filled, questions arose about their safety, as people were stacked side by side and shared toilet facilities. There was clear evidence that the coronavirus disease could be spread via feces or the off-gassing from overused toilets and taxed plumbing."

Sounds like they've been everything but competent.
> Is food-waste even a bad thing to begin with.

At the end of the day I just personally hate spending money on food that sits in the fridge unused then gets thrown out. Or gets cooked and thrown out because we cooked too much.

Only thing worse would be setting money on fire directly.

So yes, food waste is bad. Avoid.
If you think shitposting is a "bad" thing that should invoke bans you're a little bit out of touch with the web jargon.
Are Job Interviews a Farce?
Understandable confusion, I've seen it referred to both ways. We decided to go with BPF for this blog post since that appears to be the official abbreviation.

From "BPF Performance Tools" by Brendan Gregg:

"Extended BPF is often abbreviated as eBPF, but the official abbreviation is still BPF, without the "e," so throughout this book I use BPF to refer to extended BPF. The kernel contains only one execution engine, BPF (extended BPF), which runs both extended BPF and "classic" BPF programs."
I don't think there is such a sharp distinction between writing and using tools. You could take the 9-command pipeline, paste it into a shellscript, and now you have a new tool.

And isn't this how most programming is done? Typically your program relies on a set of libraries, but the methodology of writing the library looks very similar to the methodology of writing the client code; at the end of the day, it's all programming.

If literate programming is great, then I would expect it would be great everywhere. And if decomposing your program into a few steps and piping together already-written software for those steps is great, then I would expect you should try to use that style of programming as widely as possible.
I'm sorry but this made me laugh.
GIT does not make good commit comments. That's a practice that can happen without git.
I would push on the version history, having a history lets you understand decisions and codepaths that lead to it not working correctly. This is invaluable, and if anything breaks majorly: you can roll back.
As I read it, the stock price is basically modeled as a "true value" + noise. You can't observe the true value, but you can estimate it by characterizing the noise.

The effect of buying the stock with leverage instead of out of pocket (which is what call options let you do) is that the noise is amplified. The "true value" component doesn't change. Thus, when the noise is increasing the price, the price is higher than it otherwise would have been, and when the noise is decreasing the price, the price is lower than it otherwise would have been. Imagine the difference between P(x) = v(x) + cos n and P(x) = v(x) + 2 cos n.

Can technically move the market? Sure, but everything that happens in the market is technically moving the market. The main effect (as discussed in the Matt Levine pieces) is to increase the volatility of the stocks in question.
That... doesn't make any sense. What does the ability to run recombinant procedures (however ill advised doing so might be) have to do with running an assay on a human sample for diagnostic (as opposed to research) purposes?

To be perfectly clear:

* The CDC has already made an RT-PCR protocol plus associated primer and probe sequences publicly available.

* BSL-2 labs that do cell culture and employ viral vectors for transfection [1] are quite common in academia.

Apologies for not getting to this earlier. Our in-house GC is est fit to answer this; however, as far as I am aware, CLIA only requires that we keep samples until the analysis is complete and results are returned to patients. They recommend that one keeps this as long as possible. The other thing is the difference between a report and raw data. I believe that we are supposed to hold onto reports for 21 years, some states have slightly different regulations but that's different from raw data. We are also a physician-ordered LDT while 23andme is FDA approved so there are differences there as well.
The infection rate is still unknown, so spreading misinformation like this is not helpful.

It took just 1 person to infect 600 people on a 2,700 passenger cruise ship, many of which happened even after quarantine and medical staff were introduced.

That means that 1.9 million NYC people can be infected and 38,000 people can be killed from just one person.
Most countries on the way up steal IP.

The sub mods don't remove the rule breaking content allowing it to be upvoted so the site admins step in to remove those accounts. Now they are working on that first part by adding mods that will remove rule breaking content.

Anything said by supporters of this and the other subs you mention are coming from an echo chamber of self victimization. The Youtube related first amendment case form earlier in the week is directly analogous to this but Reddit Admins are trying to handle this on site and not draw media attention to their actions or the sub.

It's a little like Mr. Obama's Cash-for-Clunkers programme, which sounds awesome at first, right? We got all those old polluting cars off of the roads! Except that they were by and large replaced with new cars whose manufacture caused far more pollution. And the programme expended funds which would have yielded a better result elsewhere.

I don't carry any water for plastic straws — haven't used them regularly since I was a kid — but it's easily imaginable that the political capital expended to ban them would have yielded better results for the environment elsewhere.

Heck, it's very possible that your metal straws themselves caused more environmental damage than the average man's lifetime straw consumption. Or not.
> A SQL Schema can carry a custom query, it's called a view.

This is not feasible. I might not have enough access to create views. I might not have access to create functions. I cannot deactivate permissions if I only have a single access account and other systems use it already. You cannot assume that I have full control of the database or that I can easily make changes to the schema.

But this is not all. I am working on a web backend project on daily basis. I would love to offload some basic CRUD operations to something like postgrest or implement GraphQL with something like Hasura, but I need a way to a) define table and field name mappings b) define what tables are accessible b) define what columns are visible c) define what nested relationships are allowed d) define actions that need to happen on update/insert/delete operations (i.e. push a message into a queue every time a record is deleted from table T) If I could do all of this, I could implement about 50% of my web service and it would be useful.
You're not alone. Authors in the field aren't always consistent either, to the point where people have written academic papers trying to sort through the various definitions of what "UX" is, trying to give it some kind of clear scope, e.g. [1].
