This was my first thought too. I much prefer Vue so would love it if you could choose the client side layer.
Not taking anything at all away from this, it looks awesome and I can’t wait to give it a try. I get that this is an opinionated framework and the effort to achieve multi client side options is likely pretty high. I’m also conscious that releasing something and have people say “I want it to be different” straight away is annoying so really trying not to be ‘that guy’.
Knowing the js community, someone is probably already working on it anyway.
Loving the innovation in this space!
> If everyone thought like you and tried to get it early, then the hospitals would be overrun and you'd be no better off.

If the reality is that only a small fraction of people would think like that, the we don't need to worry about that line of reasoning.

But I agree with your point that it's moot due to the potential for reinfection.

Hi fellow hackers!

For the past 18 months I've been building "Together", a new kind of app that allows children to play games and read stories with their grandparents in a video call. I originally developed it for my own daughters and their grandparents as a way for them to spend meaningful time together despite the distance.

Given the situation with COVID-19 and so many grandparents isolated and children potentially staying home I decided to make it completely free. Hopefully it becomes useful to some of you.

If you have a chance to try it please send me your feedback! Thanks and stay safe!
There are places where people are pressured to work while sick? Not because they can’t afford to be home, but due to pressure from peers and/or management?

Where is that? And why? A five year old would realize that sick people hurt productivity by infecting others?
Probably because there are containerizer addons for Apple and Netflix, specifically, and not for the other sites you mention.

The only sentence that could be seen as politically motivated is "Never has there been a clearer case for single-payer health care as a public good." With the exception of that one sentence, those are all facts, and it's disturbing to think that saying the fact that insurance is tied to employment is somehow political.
Because I suspect that the MesasgePack–compressed or not–is not the worth of the effort until I see comparison.

In other words, compressed MesasgePack is probably only tiny amount smaller than compressed JSON.

No computer-to-computer interchange format has comments.

I call BS.

As a counterexample search for the word "comment" in https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html. Or are you saying that http is not a computer-to-computer interchange format?
I think programmers who haven't been exposed to a language like F# or other OCaml/ML languages should take time to broaden their horizons. It'll make them a better programmer by exposing them to new concepts and new ways of thinking.

I learned Lisp and was into Clojure for awhile - do I write it professionally? No, but I've adopted some of its ideas and tenets in my own code for work.
> The API owners do not like me using it.

If the API owner gained knowledge and warned you they could now claim damages in a civil lawsuit. You're an enabler. You're trying to defer the obligation to your users while ignoring the easier approach to disable the feature. It's tricky with open source software since anybody could have a copy and continue, or use an old version. A court (more likely lawyers sending letters to each other) would question if you did everything in your power to stop the API access.

> anyone faced a situation like this?

As API owner multiple times. App is for, let's say, taxi drivers. Each user is expected to create a free account and does some small usage. Taken together it would not be covered by a free account. The app developer charges money and instead of creating a paid account with us tells all users to have free accounts. We don't sue but we have deleted accounts and added IP blocks over this.

From what I've seen one approach is not to ask users to acknowledge, that's a click of a button I assume. It needs to be more actively. Like a field the user has to fill out with a URL, a plugin that needs to be installed separately or a small piece of code that needs to be written (if it's a software library). Then you can claim the user is in control and chose to use that API.
Idiocracy (2005)

What could go wrong over 500 years if you keep making stuff user-friendly? It's an American movie, but Americans may find it insulting. The female half of the protagonists got a very disappointing role.
And who determines what a "nice explanation" is, and what is or isn't backed by science? Another expert that you then have to trust?

When dealing with technical topics that require deep study, unless you're some kind of genius with an abundance of free time, it is impossible to judge the quality of someones argument without you yourself also being a mini-expert in the same field.
There are also two strains, one more aggressive than the other. I would imagine that getting the weaker strain out there ahead of the bad strain may be useful.
Chinese haven't killed it at all. As soon as they lift the quarantine it'll get reimported from elsewhere in the world. Eradicating a disease requires worldwide cooperation, which hasn't been in evidence at all this outbreak. Just look at how stubborn measles and polio have been, despite both having inexpensive vaccines and only human hosts.
> That's my point: to observably flatten the curve, you need to go almost all the way there of killing it altogether.

no, you don't. killing it completely would (hand-waving) require taking R0 < 1, and holding it there indefinitely.

any reduction in R0 at all will flatten the curve, at least a bit. and small changes in the rate of growth can have a huge impact when you're dealing with (even temporarily) exponential growth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kas0tIxDvrg

"Pushing to change the healthcare in the U.S. is a very partisan thing."

Which is outrageous. The manner in which basic societal discussion get short-circuited into being partisan is grotesque.

Though recall that Donald J. Trump promised universal healthcare (several times). Seems like it isn't partisan at all.
You're missing the point, the problem that is if you're trying to offer credible expert opinion on how to deal with a crisis, you undermine those opinions by introducing a highly charged political wedge issue that offers no solutions to the problem at hand.

Sure, you can argue that single-payer healthcare would have been good to solve this crisis and others would certainly argue that it would make things worse, but the debate is totally fruitless because implementing such a system will take years--well after coronavirus is either endemic or wiped out. Thus, even bringing it up makes me question whether you, as an expert, are capable of divorcing your personal bias from your scientific objectivity. I immediately think, "is this person speaking from their objective expertise, or do they look for the data that satisfies their political arguments, and ignoring the rest?"

Scientists should tell people the facts as objectively as possible because that is the purpose of the field and discipline. Leave activism to others, who will use the facts to come to whatever conclusions they can.
I think you'd like the book Qualityland. This kind of scenario is a major plot point.
Karate Club – an unsupervised machine learning extension library for NetworkX
The argument, originally, I believe was that comments might be hacked to “extend” JSON with various additions (e.g. dates via an end of line marker). Comments were excluded to keep the format stable, which, FWIW, has worked.
For the user, there is no real point to such a separation. If the system is full of rootkits and malware, the credit card can be hijacked through for the browser, for example. You don't need to get at the actual credit card processing if you can control all inputs and outputs.

I don't think that's all that unlikely these days. I wouldn't quite give you even odds on it, but I'd take that bet for 10:1 odds, assuming I could get paid in some currency (like Bitcoin or gold) that would still have value after the U.S. breaks up.
Yes, we hope that people in the US would also use this. It also works for email if people are more used to it.
Even -40°C is very far outside the range of where virtually anybody lives, though. It's equivalent to -40°F. Most places never reach that temperature. The problem with a 100-degree scale centered around the freezing point of water is that the freezing point of water actually is approximately 1/3 of the way along the scale between "exceptionally cold" and "exceptionally hot"--it isn't a midpoint--and so by the time you reach -50°C you're solidly in the realm of "potentially record-setting low temperature for most places on Earth". The more analogous range is -20°C to 40°C, and that's with 2-3 degrees of rounding on both sides.

The freezing point of water is an important temperature, but it's not a temperature that should be treated as being "off the scale" or even at the edge of the scale, which is what the number 0 implies. Being able to represent most survivable air temperatures with unsigned 2-digit numbers is more convenient than not having to remember the freezing point of water, as is the heuristic of any exception to that rule representing an exceptional weather condition.
You are correct. No AMD vulnerability is in the same universe as the Intel vulnerabilities from this year alone. Good luck on your new build

I've worked in "FinTech DevOps" for the past 10 years and this reminds me of a story from a past job:

We hired the Global Head of Clearing [0] from a big bank and on their first day they were giving a presentation on their background and how financial clearing works.

Someone asked "What is your nightmare scenario?"

The response:

We have a large overnight position in a security. Our Prime Broker (PB) [1] comes back and says "We disagree with you on the position so you can't trade." Even if it turns out that the PB is wrong, by the time it all gets sorted out, the market has moved so much in that security that it bankrupts us. I've seen it happen to other firms and it's not pretty.

I also started at Knight right after their big outage. [2] People like to talk about the big tech outages sinking financial firms but it can just as easily be plain old issues with bookkeeping that can blow up a firm.

Totally agree. Wife has a small business. She's lost $20k in contracts in 2ks. Gonna affect her 45 employees. She gets no sympathy, yet she has to pay the business expenses regardless, taxes, unemployment... Politics will turn people away.
I'm very very happy with Wealthfront. They make automatic investing incredibly simple and explain every step of choosing your risk tolerance. I've used Robinhood extensively and I think it's just too much work and invites you to be too active/reactionary.
Its misuse of the term "don't panic". "Don't panic" should mean "remain calm yet vigilant", not "stop being a crybaby and follow everyday life like a good sheep". Panicking doesn't make sense unless you wish to activate people who wouldn't otherwise, and neither does misleading people with poor, incomplete or flat-out wrong statistics. Pretty sure that's why the term "don't panic" gets a bad rep: one party means to be serious but calm, the other party uses it as means to ridicule those who err on the side of caution.
No problem. We're discussing stuff here. I also didn't want to sound angry or aggressive. I'm sorry if I did (English is not my native language).

I also did root for AMD when I was younger however, in a more down-to-earth fashion. AMD was providing 90% of the performance of a comparable Intel system and, Intel was so dominating that AMD was at the brink of collapse.

I rooted for AMD because I wanted them to survive. I wanted competition. I wanted to see more interesting ideas from more vendors. I also reacted to that infamous "AMD's thermal management doesn't work" video from Tom's Hardware because my and my friends' AMD systems' thermal management features were working fine.

I rooted for AMD because they were more dynamic when compared to Intel. They allowed overclocking, experimenting. They had more chipset choices and some of these chipsets did interesting things that Intel was not daring to try.

Intel was a company wearing suits even in weekends, while AMD was going to work putting on jeans and, it was exciting for young enthusiasts.

AMD still has this in its gene though. They were kind and open enough to revise their GPU silicon to enable truly open source drivers sans HDCP. Their company culture is different and I root for the underdogs sometimes because, I root for competition.
I read it as relating to the quantity of leave. E.g., a country could have "7 days per year of universal guaranteed paid sick leave".
There are good reasons to go with AMD over Intel CPUs at the moment, the number of published security exploits should not be one. There is nothing fundamentally more insecure in the Skylake CPU architecture than in Zen 2, just one has more marketshare and gets scrutinized more intensely.
The serialization format here was designed so you can parse it (or detect a parse error and bail out) in a single O(n) pass through the message data. No backtracking required.

(You mentioned strings, so I'll use that to give flavor: a string is represented as a one-byte prefix, followed by a byte length, followed by that many bytes of UTF-8. I'm not sure whether you'd categorize this as fixed or variable length, but that's how it's represented on the wire.)
What's probably going to happen is more isolation. SGX is a target for these vulnerabilities because it's a separate mode of the same processor core which runs normal software; were it on a dedicated core, it wouldn't be vulnerable. In the same way, the kernel can be attacked by user processes (and processes can attack each other) only because they share the same core. So I'd expect to see for instance the kernel running on a set of cores separate from user software (probably using a ring buffer interface for most system calls, like io_uring), and the hardware state being totally flushed when switching a core to another process.
Being charitable, it's not actually binary, because sick leave has both a quantity axis and an accessibility access. The "universal" qualifier makes the accessibility axis binary. There's still a big difference between universal 1-day-per-year paid sick leave and universal 30-day-per-year paid sick leave or what have you.
I went through this today. In German there‘s a really great Podcast „Coronavirus-Update“: https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/info/podcast4684.html

30 min/weekday a science journalist talks to Christian Drosten, a world-renowned expert on Coronaviruses, who explains things in a very concise manner. Yesterdays episode was „We have to protect the elderly“, where Drosten talked about the high risk for the sick and elderly and trying to fully get this point across to his own father over the weekend. He also mentioned that we should work on hopefully achieving a broader societal awareness of this over the next week or two.

I talked to my mother and father a bit first, sent my mother a link to this episode and told her to put me on speakerphone. We then listened to it together and discussed it a bit afterwards. I found this to be really helpful.

My mother was in denial until 2 weeks ago, when she went a bit hysterical for a day and has been concerned (but okay) since. My father was mostly in denial until today. He also bailed out soon after the podcast ended, because it was a bit much for him. But overall he took it quite well and is taking it more seriously now.

Overall I am very happy with the way this went. Sorry, this isn‘t very helpful if you don‘t speak German. But maybe you are able to find a similar thing in your native language.
Are they better, or worse?
That's a good point. Everything, even the coronavirus has this narrative attached that prevention should be the utmost priority. At the same time the same narrative is completely missing in case of depression.

I guess the difference is that depression has been learned to capitalize on for a long time now.
That's right, nobody really needs this, but the point of the Roadster V2 isn't to satisfy a need, it's to eradicate the perception that gasoline cars are better performing. By building a supercar that will humiliate all the Porsches and Ferraris, with no hope of gasoline cars remotely in the same price range ever being able to compete (unless they go hybrid?), Tesla will catch a lot of press. A new generation of kids will grow up with the clear perception that electric cars are superior technology. They will have Tesla Roaster posters on their walls instead of gasoline cars. The roaster is very much an expensive PR piece, but it will change the world and accelerate the transition to renewable energy in a meaningful way. Perception counts.
So I guess the answer is "things are going to be bad, so why bother optimising?". I guess I can't really argue with a self-fulfilling prophecy like that. Not considering the size of a JS library because the business process is slow? Oh... kay? Just feels like real lowest common denominator stuff: why should I do good work when someone else isn't?

Its not a bias it's just true. Intel has chips that are objectively underperformannt and less secure based on everything we know currently. There are no good reasons anyone should pick an Intel chip for their desktop system for the foreseeable future.
Flow-MATIC – The first English-like data processing language
There are several situations where you, by nature of your employment and/or the discovery, may be legally required to disclose finding it to certain parties. Running away as you suggest can create legal liability in a few circumstances. Speak with your corporate lawyer and someone at NCMEC if you are based in the United States and come across this situation, especially if it is UGC that your network touched in any way.

Any U.S. organization that handles UGC MUST be aware of this, because failure to follow the process can clap back rapidly. IANAL, so ask yours, and I’m only familiar with the U.S. If you accept and transmit UGC, it will happen. Be ready and train your people, and be ready to support them when they collapse mentally from dealing with it (not even to mention the impact to the children).

I still have very specific nightmares and refuse to work in UGC/hosting due to this.
That is an accusation that Nord or third party partners is turning devices into residential proxies.

It includes a direct quote from Nord on page 5 that says they buy access to IPs, and that the individuals they buy from are "fully aware of the purpose and receive a reward for the traffic sent and received".

Even if you think the "fully aware" part is a lie, I don't think there's any reason to think the part about buying it is a lie.

Even the worst version of a VPN buying IPs from some shady dealer is very different from secretly putting data on their own users' connections. It remains quite misleading to write "oxylabs (NordVPN), luminati (Holla)", implying that Nord is doing the same thing as Hola, of turning their own users into proxies.

Definitely worth knowing, especially with hay fever season just about to kick off.
You don't need sweeping reform to bolster confidence in the healthcare system, a targeted emergency appropriation can go a long way.

Congress saying they are going to pass a bill to pay for testing and then doing it would not be difficult, and it would reduce qualms about getting tests.
When/if news crews start reporting that patients over 65 are not assessed by a doctor because there isn't enough doctors. And we see videos of crowded hospitals where people die because of insufficient care.

Maybe then, people will stop going out.

The only critique I have as well. Other than that, top notch!
CDC also stopped reporting number of tests each day (last week iirc).
