This is where we disagree, and I think that's the problem. In my use case, I just wanted an HTML template file with at most a few CSS files. There's a dearth of those frameworks/templates compared to bigger packages.
In Asia it is common to wear masks for air pollution reasons. It might or might not help with a virus, but you can't cite kids in Shanghai unless you can show there is an increase.
The whole point is that you choose an arbitrary thing to treat as a dealbreaker that doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. "npm install jquery" would have given you the exact same result you have, except it would have violated your dealbreaker. It just doesn't seem particularly logical to me.

To be honest, if you're going for "as simple as possible" there's no reason to use jQuery at all these days, it's a waste. Modern browsers have perfectly capable APIs!
To the extent that Reiki or any other alternative medicine technique actually does anything, it's easily explainable by the placebo effect.

You know what we call alternative medicine that works? Medicine.
You could still build something like Shadertoy if the WebGPU shaders internally used a binary format. You would just need to have a JS or WASM library that compiles text shaders into the binary format. It's not that difficult to do, and it can absolutely run in the browser.
Here on nearby Long Island cases are popping up all over the place with no known links to other diagnosed cases, including 2 school bus drivers. Despite this, barely anyone is being tested, even those who are symptomatic. This crisis is being terribly mishandled.

True, it is not more than anecdotal because no one is really performing causal inference studies on this so that people can draw rigorous conclusions. It is however quite obvious to anyone who is actually physically present there and in other parts of Chicago, and quite obvious to the business owners who have to deal with the reality of a significant drop in business.
Not if you're using something like AWS since the IP is not guaranteed.

If you're managing your own server farm though, yes, you can statically allocate IP's and cut out DNS in it's entirety. A practice to this day I do not understand why more places don't. Then again, I was always comfortable with memorizing phone numbers and the like.

I once used an API where to send a command, you would make a POST where the message body was an x-www-form-urlencoded dictionary where one of the values is a binary string which is a zipped XML document.

It was very clearly just a page on the vendor's site where you could manually upload a zip of documents, which they had simply declared to be an API.
> So what else do you do or say?

I don't know, but if one can't think of anything better, then I think it's better to shut up, or just acknowledge the problem and be supportive but refrain from offering unwanted non-solutions that implicitly blame the victim and trivialize their problem (you aren't "just doing X" therefore it's on you) and simultaneously frustrate/anger/depress them because "just do X" is impossible (or not a solution to their problem).
I'm sure there are some people who would be doing that. I'm just saying that there are a lot of people who are okay with the former but not the latter, so I disagree with the suggestion that most or all of the CIA or FBIA would be okay with it. That leads me to think the probability of this happening at an organizational level (i.e. the director orders it) is low.

The probability of a few people acting independently is a lot higher, but I think still low. And whether it's low or high, you still need evidence. Any evidence. For example, evidence that they may have doctored chat logs.
Ask HN: Is there a best practices for jQuery in 2020?
I'm writing a basic front-end for a Django app. I just need a liiitttle js to smooth things UX-wise. I don't know any JS frameworks and I'm not vanilla JS savvy.

Having used jQuery in the past, I think it would be fine for my use case. However, I don't want to end up with a mess on the front-end.

How do I write jQuery that doesn't end up that way? Is there a canonical text or set of best practices I can follow?

Good lord, the site is not _about_ pursuing a political agenda. It includes one in the middle, sure (somewhat distastefully imo. Never waste a good crisis, I guess), but let's not throw the baby out with the bath water. The content itself is solid.
There's no requirement that there be a "ruling that Apple is a monopoly" before we observe, based on the facts, that they are doing things that run afoul of antitrust law, or what antitrust law "should" be to maximize welfare. Rulings are a trailing indicator, not a leading indicator.

Whether users benefit or not is not necessarily relevant for antitrust analysis; it is only since the Reagan era that direct consumer damage was considered a requirement for antitrust prosecutions. Most of the economics/antitrust experts favored by Democratic Party legislators or possible Presidents seek a return to the pre-Reagan enforcement standards, or new standards based on the unique economics of new tech-enabled platform business models.
And that's what good engineering is. When you know your product can't do the job, you don't put it in a position of responsibility. If you can't do it safely, don't do it. That's good engineering.

Physical world engineers could stand to learn a lot from software engineers about the hard parts of engineering. Sometimes it's about saying "No, we shouldn't."
You've missed the 'functionally equal' check option; which covers cases like you're focusing on.

To check if two differently created things happen to be equal, yes, you should prefer the function that checks exactly what matters exactly how it matters.

As you rightly point out, the memcmp check would only work on either pre-zeroed memory (depends on environment and what you're doing) or actual literal copies of a specific struct.

You can soak them for 24 hours at room temperature before you intend to cook them normally. You can even re-use the soaking water if you need to.
Shortly afterwards, the USSR withdrew from Austria completely.

The Soviets did not withdraw from Austria until 1955, two years after Stalin's death. The neutrality of Austria was a condition.
I spent an entire summer as an intern, constantly on the phone with IBM support trying to get DB2 Connect to work in a Windows cluster only to be told "this is not a supported configuration" despite it being clearly supported in the documentation. Gave up. Years later, ran into my former boss randomly (at a liquor store of all places) and he mentioned they were finally able to get it to work.

Another confounding one was where I was trying to bulk copy some data to Sybase using Python. Started getting some really strange DB errors. Couldn't figure it out for a while. Turns out, it was a bug in the DB module and it was using uninitialized memory in certain conditions. Was a 1-line fix, but took about 6 weeks to find.

Yet another one was when I was working on porting my C++ services from 32 to 64-bit. Sockets were timing out immediately sometimes. Couldn't reproduce in the debugger. Was a bug in a 3rd party framework. It was improperly using the rtdsc instruction in some inline ASM. Worked fine on 32-bit, but the register layout was different on 64-bit. So, it was effectively reading a garbage upper 32-bits for the high-res timer. Only found that one because I noticed in my logs that my timers were reporting that some operations had taken >200 years. I forget how long it took to track that one down, but it was months of off and on hunting.

I've also hit internal compiler errors. The one I remember was that an anonymous namespace at global scope would cause an ICE. I was about to file a bug report once I'd a minimal reproduction, but it'd already been reported and fixed.
Interactive Brokers is a professional brokerage that has a free tier now and just added fractional shares as well.

Vanguard, Fidelity, Schwab, TD Ameritrade are all legitimate operations as well, but IB is what professionals use.
Because there are different kinds of "evil". Killing an individual who they believe is responsible for the deaths of many people is different from framing a US citizen and going around the justice system by planting child pornography evidence, because they leaked secrets. These are not apples-to-apples situations.
In a worst-case scenario, how long would it take to get the money back if SIPC needs to step in and administer the disbursements?
I just started working on the complementary side of the spike RBD-ACE2 interaction, making an aerosol of RBD peptide fragments to outcompete the virus for entry.

This work is based on B-cell epitope mapping of SARS patients and subsequent identification of ACE2 binding peptides like: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016635421...

I'm the "dry lab" side of this project -- looking for peptide candidates. My other collaborators at UNC are going to do formulate the aerosol and test for safety in mice.

Normally this would be a very early stage in drug development, but it seems like we have to move quickly.

So similar shout out to the Gates Foundation folks -- if you're interested in this approach email alex.rubinsteyn@unc.edu

Ask HN: Is it illegal to hit a public API from my native app?
Hi have an app the uses a un-protected public API. The API owners do not like me using it.

My servers never hit these APIs. The calls go straight from the APP.

My users are made to acknowledge the fact that this is happening. The app is free.

I know, I have to get legal advice. Has anyone faced a situation like this?
> their customers are more vocal than others

And their haters. There's a very vocal group of traditional investors who hate Robinhood (and its users) for a variety of (mostly trivial) reasons. Robinhood's service problems over the past couple weeks are finally a legitimate reason for them to air their hate and they would love to see Robinhood fail.

From an objective morality standpoint, you're probably right that that is worse. But subjectively and psychologically, I think most of them put them in different boxes.
Signal already uses SGX for Contact Discovery, and has for many months.

In all cases, Signal only uses SGX to improve cases where data previously was stored in plaintext. The idea is to change the required attack from "compromise signal servers" to "compromise signal servers _and_ compromise SGX".

No clue. Given the way it seems to be more deadly for older people or those with comorbidities African countries may not have as big a % of the population at risk, plus it might not travel as fast there as there is less commercial and discretionary travel. But it's easy to think of other factors which would make it far worse.
> Robinhood accounts are protected by the SIPC

This is correct. But SIPC reimbursement can take months. For non-trivial balances, one may need a lawyer to prove ownership.

After that, an accountant would likely be needed to reconcile records, including for tax purposes. (Tax forms are not automatically generated for brokerages in receivership.)
One thing to keep in mine. They specifically call out anything involving child pornography isn't covered by this document. The gist I got was, "Don't be a dipshit, run screaming in the other direction if you get even a whiff of it," which is my policy on the subject irregardless of this document.
That's because there is no rational reason. The reason this is at it all an issue is because Apple put their foot down and flat out refused to implement SPIR-V.
Research how many states have pushed hard to break up unions of nearly every type. Wisconsin's governor made the news repeatedly pulling through "right to work" laws (I don't know details but I was shocked at how little pushback I heard about at all).

Here in IL and IA we've been "right to work" for a good while. Most purposefully misleading euphemism ever.

I'd vote for anyone who had a reasonable shot at forcing those laws to be rescinded and basic worker termination protection restored.
Yes, the European low-cost broker DeGiro had an outage on the same day. I happily cancelled my new subscription and was thankful for not getting locked up in this issue while enjoying the volatility. Only for-money good-reputation brokers from now on for me.

I've worked extensively with MessagePack and JSON. I much prefer JSON because it's human readable. It's just a pain to debug something that looks like raw binary data, and I usually have to debug it at times I'm just not in the mood to deal with shenanigans.

How York Airbnb Host Is Feeling the Pain of the Coronavirus
Your own testimony here seems to be that it's otherwise an unattractive bit of extra work for you, but Apple's dominance gives you no choice but to adopt what they've required as a bundle with their dominant hardware/app-store products. That could make strong evidence in a future 'tying' case by a Democratic President's antitrust appointments!
How does feeling Reiki establish it is real? What sort of objective effect did it have?
How old are you?

If you're under 60 or so, it's quite likely you won't need any medical attention at all after contraction.

This is why it's spreading -- most middle-aged and younger people feel like they have the common cold.
Ever since cloud compute became an industry meme, I started telling people that the end-game was to get everything into someone else's mainframe and then apply various forms of lock-in that would include proprietary CPU extensions, proprietary services, and so on.
The driver for recalls is demand from the largest customers. In Intel's case, mostly big cloud operators.

They have a strong vested interest in pretending that sharing compute resources across customers is a safe thing to do, so they're unlikely to rock the boat.
Why do you think they canceled it..........

When the first of the 535 members of Congress succumb to the virus, I think it will be pretty motivational for the survivors to enact policy change. The median age of serving Senators is ~66, so if a non-trivial proportion are infected I think we can expect a lot of deaths.
The placebo effect itself is fairly spooky.
> sensationalist Micro story

Considering it was published with the intent to "move markets" I would consider it a fraudulent Micro story.
OK so you think the early "slots" are better. Maybe they are. If you manage to get in slot n anyone you infect will be forced to take n+1 (perhaps not as good) and the exponentially increasing set of people _they_ infect will be forced to take n+2, n+3, ...

Now there are a lot more people in those time slots all competing for the same doctors and hospital beds, etc.

Congratulations, you made the curve a little less flat :(
The US is one plane flight from China and Italy is one plane flight from China. And their testing has reportedly been weak compared to many countries; they might be in a more advanced state of trouble than it appears.

But the major point here I am happy to concede; it is far to early to start comparing how the US is doing with how everyone else is doing.
If the site is not pursuing a political agenda, why put that stuff in there? All it does is interfere because people who disagree with all of those claims may ignore the whole thing.

If it doesn't help, take it out. Otherwise, it's about politics.
Great question. I wouldn't worry about feeling grateful. Just reminding yourself of "what you have," as you phrased it, is enough.

When we're depressed we have a tendency to fall into the mindset that everything is bad. Reminding yourself that there is something good in your life helps break that cycle. If you can make it a habit your brain actually gets better at finding the positives and it starts to create a positive feedback loop.

Enigma Public deactivating on March 24th
From Enigma Public:

"After years of hosting our expansive collection of public data, we’ll be deactivating Enigma Public on March 24th.

We are doing this to focus our efforts on the most valuable problem that we’ve encountered, engineering better small business data. If you’re interested in learning more, check out Enigma’s Businesses API.

We remain committed to making public data accessible to the world, and are moving our public data asset to where developers and data scientists are already working: in cloud infrastructure and services. Some of our most popular datasets are already available for free on the AWS Data Exchange, and we'll continue to grow the collection of public data available via AWS throughout the year. We believe that the AWS Data Exchange is uniquely positioned to make public data easier to access and use than ever before and are truly excited about the potential of what users like you will be able to do with public data in the AWS ecosystem.

Below you’ll find more information about how to start using the exchange and which data sources are already available. If you have any questions or requests for additional sources, please email enigma-public@enigma.com, as we are actively planning our data roadmap and always appreciate your input.

From all of us at Enigma, thank you for being a part of the 10,000+ member Enigma Public community. Your passion, participation, and feedback over the years have been a crucial part of growing this free database, and we hope that you’ll all come along for the next chapter in our journey.

-The Enigma Team
Absolutely no development. I use it as my starting point for feature branches, as well as subsequent rebases and merges on them. And I use it to build and run the current master.

If you get infected, you put others at risk of getting infected, no matter how perfectly you may think you've isolated yourself. Unless you have a clean room level setup somewhere, you're making yourself a reservoir of viral load for others to catch.
It is somewhat faster, but other formats are even faster than that.
Your self-awareness, self-accountability, and emotional IQ to ascertain the likely source of her resistance are all extremely admirable.

It sounds like you need to convince her of two things: (1) she is vulnerable; and (2) she must change.

How about focusing on #2?

Instead of asking her to change for herself, perhaps suggest this could protect friends and others around her who may be more vulnerable. An appropriate analogy may be secondhand smoke. Maybe her lungs are resilient enough to withstand the toxic effects of smoking, but what about the lungs of all her loved ones?

Hopefully others can chime in with better ideas. I hope you and your family, and we all, can remain safe and healthy during this crisis.
Visual Open Authoring with Next.js and TinaCMS
I completely agree. I just think the other repliers aren't assigning the probabilities correctly. Also, separately from the incentive and capability issue, there's the fact that people seem comfortable casting suspicion without any evidence or other empirical basis, while lazily including misinformation like "convenient that this happens so often, huh" despite not mentioning a single other case of it happening (leaker charged with possessing child pornography).
That is not what I asked.

What I'm responding to in the thread is a question of pragmatism. In particular, I'm taking issue with the notion that one can only approach this "forgetting what you already know from other languages".

That's very much distinct from the notion of an open mind. And it's especially distinct when we're talking about tools that must fit into a professional context that involves decades of history, millions of people, and a complicated set of economic factors.

For example, Imagine that you were working in a machine shop and I came to you excited about a new screw-head. If you dismissed it out of hand, I might ask you to keep an open mind while I explained why I thought it was better. But if my explanation ignored that the Phillips head was the dominant choice, with billions of drivers and hundreds of billions or perhaps trillions of screws in existence, that would be another thing entirely.

The same logic applies to conlangs like Esperanto and Klingon. Is it possible it would be better if we switched the whole world to Klingon? Sure. Might I learn interesting concepts if I studied Klingon? It's possible. Should Klingon be considered for a moment as an important thing for most people to learn? No, not at all. It's utterly impractical.

So yes, keeping an open mind is valuable. But that's not something I've ever heard seriously disputed, so editing me down to saying that is constructing a straw man. Which also isn't grounds for a proper discussion.
[security noob here]can anyone explain this in layman terms, i.e can these be exploited remotely, what we can do to protect etc!
