Seeing “certification will come in the next few months” every couple months since the accidents doesn’t really inspire confidence. Sounds like rushed political efforts instead of truly concerted engineering to solve those issues in due time.

I’m never stepping into one of these planes.
>> It blocks tracking / ads on devices where you can’t edit a hosts list (your phone)

The iPhone doesn't support ad blocking.
> Bash already has autocomplete

What kind of autocomplete does bash have? Do I need to enable it? I've just tried bash 5.0.16. I don't see any. For example, I've typed `pw`, but `pwd` was not suggested to me.

(I know there's Tab-completion, this is not what I'm talking about. I'm looking for automatic completion. Similar to Google's search suggestions and CLUI demo.)

So close! Enticing checkerboard pattern and some unshaded wood texturing then a hard crash for Firefox Android 68.5.0. Evokes the early 90s which reminds me that anyone who hasn't seen the "Community" episode with the VR parody must watch it immediately: https://youtu.be/z4FGzE4endQ (this seems to be a super-cut which will annoy the writers, bit still)
I am a bit surprised by this, as I had the opposite experience. I find ANTLR grammars much more maintanable than the hand-written parsers I encountered. Indeed I was asked to port hand-written parsers to ANTLR for maintanability. Also, ANTLR4 seems to me to produce grammars which are clearer than ANTLR3.

The weak point is error recovering, in my opinion. While ANTLR offers a sort-of-decent error recovery strategy for free, one has to customize it if they want to get great error messages.

I think that many maintainability issues are due to poor usage of ANTLR. What we do is to:
1) Limit semantic actions
2) For complex languages do tree-transformations, after parsing

With this approach we got pretty decent results.

Personally I find hand-rolled parsers too costly to build and harder to maintain, but I have limited experience with them. I guess it also depends on the context: if you are designing a DSL while writing the parser you want to be able to evolve it very quickly and in that context I think that a parser generator is very useful. If instead I would need to build an industrial grade parser for a general purpose language, having a large budget, then I would go for an hand-rolled parser
Veracrypt is source-available, but proprietary. A better solution would be LUKS-encrypted partitions. For single files, gpg-based encryption should work as well.
Same thing. Inoreader is such a good product!
DeLoreans didn't even have short-term reliability.
> I can't understand why the market won't fix that itself?

They are more interested in making LED signs showing temperature and how to squize more money from customers. I call this "PRL" mentality, they want to get money directly, not indirectly by making themselves better for clients. They don't care about clients, because their performance is measured with money and opening for more hours will cost money in short term.
These Are the Questions We Should Be Asking About Coronavirus
It can do a lot of smart default that you don't necessarily know, especially for typescript support.
No, you are not alone. I dont care about Coronavirus at all.
I dont feel threatened personally, and I consider the media hype completely overblown.
There are still a few of us that dont behave like sissies.
It very much does.
I don’t see when you’d need to understand what an EndpointSlice is, unless running k8s itself. The concept does not leak through any of the pod management interfaces.
Rewriting perhaps not, but being able to fix the ebnf-flavor used to make it more powerful it is a great thing. If you have to stay 100% compatible with all the mistakes accumulated in 30 years you are tied
The problem is not the professionals, who work hard, but those in control who may have other motives like short-term stock market performance.
Beware of chloroquine, I read somewhere it wasn't all that good for your health.

can't we ever separate these reasons?

I totally agree that in some cases anonymity is good, useful, etc.

But creating phishing sites for Facebook is not that. There is no good reason to register the domain "facebo0k-login.com"

I get that it's difficult to work out if the domain is going to be used for a legit purpose, but surely that's easier to do at the point of registration than it is to police afterwards?

It takes a human about 2s to work out that "fuck-facebook.com" is a legit protest domain, while "facebo0k-support.com" is a phishing domain. It's not even about trademarks or ownership of the word "facebook", it's about the intent of the domain.

I think insisting on ownership information for a domain that looks like it could be used for phishing, while allowing "furries-r-us.com" to be anonymous would be a better system than we have now.

OSRS Curved Bone Guide with 7% Off for Rsorder Cheap Runescape 2007 Gold
A curved bone is an item in Old School RS which is dropped by some monsters. Here is a curved bone guide to help you learn how to use this item for OSRS Construction training.

Spring is coming with big discounts for in-game gold! Happy to enjoy up to 7% discounts for OSRS Gold, RS Gold and other products on RSorder from Mar.3 to Mar.11, 2020!

How to collect the curved bone OSRS?

Curved bones can be dropped by any monster that drop big bones OSRS, as well as Venenatis and Sotetseg. The universal rate of curved bones is 1/5,012.5.

What can you do with curved bone OSRS?

You can sell curved bones for 2,000 coins each to Barlak, who is a Dorgesh-Kaan cave goblin accessed after the completion of the Death to the Dorgeshuun quest. As long as your Construction level is higher than 30, you will also be given a lecture on Construction, granting 6,750 Construction experience. If you were to gain the same amount of experience by oak planks, it would cost 52,762, which can be considered as an extra theoretical value of a curved bone. You should notice that handing in bones will not grant any experience if you are under 30 Construction. It will take 1,930 curved bones to go from level 30 to 99 Construction.
Curved bones can be buried; however, it is not recommended to do this as they only give 15 experience for each bone buried.

Hope our curved bone OSRS can help you know more about this item.

Besides, 5% off code "RSYK5" is also offered for Osrs gold / Runescape 3 Gold and all other products. Buy from https://www.rsorder.com/ at anytime.

This is ok as long as it's explicitly opt in and I'm not going to be nagged every week to opt in for the same thing.
Would you uninstall Uber if they sent you a coupon via push notification?
As a consumer, i uninstall such apps.
One example is the german „KaufDa“ app which was quite useful to me. I complained about the unwanted push messages and their support pretended to be dumb. I ended up uninstalling it.

Only if consumers refuse to accept these annoyances it will stop.

How to run parallel commands on remote servers with PSSH
You're right and this is the criticism I have of Yang, though I supported him. I'd rather have a higher VAT and other methods to gather revenue than through deficit spending. Especially since it is inflation tied and deficit spending leads to inflation.

Though I'm also not an economist and lots of economists seem to like deficit spending. So I'm just going to say I'm naive here.

I am sorry we had this impression. Sure, we use ANTLR a lot, for commercial and open-source projects, and we had to work with parsers written in (flex), yacc, and bison, so we shared our experiences as people who work all day long with parsers. We offer a lot of free resources on ANTLR and we have not specific interest in advertising ANTLR. For us it is a tool we use and love, just that
Pretty bad attitude to have considering how your carelessness can adversely affect many others.

How to Always run Python 3 from Bash
I work in a Japanese office of one of these companies and we have been able to work from home since January due to COVID-19 based on our own risk assessment, with advisories being sent via internal email.

So this article is wrong/misleading at least in that respect, probably because if is focused on the US.
You can achieve this clarity in a lucid dream... how accurate the memories relived would be, is another matter
Yes the WHO report is very clear : mortality in Wuhan is 6% because they were overwhelmed by the number of cases.

The lack of decisiveness in the west worries me. It's like they wait for the hospitals to be full before they decide quarantine might be in order.

You Need Feeds is my attempt to create an explainer and RSS promo page.

Suggestions welcome...
I think that hand-rolled parsers are good if:
1) You have a team that knows well what they are doing
2) You have a lot of resources
3) Your language is stable

I would argue that parser-generators are what made those projects to be started and prosper in the first place. Then once one is successful a custom solution could make sense but in my experience it is more expensive and potentially less maintanable, unless you know very welll your way around parsers and language tooling
I'm not exaggerating when I say it hasn't effected my life at all, except for the effort it took me to write this comment. I live in San Francisco, if it matters.

San Francisco just reported its first cases today, but there's definitely been panic shopping. The city closed down Lowell today as a precautionary measure (but that leaves nearly 200 campuses open).

Even if you don't suffer any health or financial effects (unlikely) you'll still be effected if:

- More schools close, even more if parents have to take time off from work en masse

- Public transit becomes a big vector and BART or Muni try to shut down or reduce service

- People continue to panic shop. NPR had a photo from a Marin Target with shelves bare of disinfectant wipes. Rainbow in the city was almost completely out of canned tomatoes on Monday.

- On a federal level, if our idiot president succeeds in closing the Mexican border you'll definitely feel some pain

The London Underground has the same thing. It will automatically calculate what you pay based on how many journeys and what zones you travel within, using either a dedicated card or contactless.
>Maybe Intel should take the hint. Users want to own their hardware!

This reminds me of that change.org petition from years ago addressed to intel to remove management engine et al.

FWIW, Wladimir was fine in support of the work, see e.g. this discussion from a year ago: http://www.erisian.com.au/meetbot/bitcoin-core-dev/2019/bitc...

I didn't become aware of those snowden docs until a year and a half after the article about them... :( but the need was obvious enough before they came out (as you can see from the 2016 discussion on the subject).

Sitting down and coding is probably not the limiting reagent in getting the work completed. Review, herding cats, building positive momentum, etc. would all add a lot if you're willing and able to provide it. Collaborating on a second implementation would probably also be useful (though not so much in isolation, but it would be useful for testing and validation). (Heck, even just cheering work along to distract from drama and haters would probably accomplish a lot).
Well your action will likely make the virus spreading faster which may cause someone to be killed.
One of the early advantages of Wordpress was precisely its excellent support of all formats of feeds out of the box, back in the hot days of the Rss/Atom feud.
What carelessness are you talking about? There is no vaxxination for Coronavirus yet, so what the heck do you think I am supposed to do to show my caring? Running around in circles and adding to the already growing panic? No, thanks, I have better things to do with my time.
Thank you - I was thinking about The Machine Gunners when I read this, but couldn't remember the name of the book - some strong childhood memories associated with that story.
I am not either. I see a disconnect between the numbers published by the WHO and the alarmist reaction of the mainstream media. Earlier this week there was a speech from the director of the WHO on the front page of hn suggesting the virus was less contagious than the flu, I don’t see any mention in any major newspapers. It feels like one of these “facts that don’t fit the narrative will be simply omitted”.

I am concerned however about the overreaction to the virus. Like I am not concerned about catching it, but I am having second thoughts about a holiday trip in south Asia I wanted to make next month as I don’t want to find myself jailed for weeks in a military barrack for some unnecessary quarantine. And my biggest concern is the economic impact.

Hopefully this thing will go away in 2/3 months as the northern hemisphere gets warmer.
Coronavirus and the Remote Work Experiment No One Asked For
App Store rules / human interface guidelines don't apply to Apple. They believe they (as opposed to 3rd party devs) don't need these restrictions to ship secure, high-quality apps with a great experience.

Whether they succeed is debatable, but the reasoning (although perhaps unfair) is understandable.
Hi Bruce

What is unique and better about your freelancing marketplace?
..wow, this is a bit strong. I would encourage you to be more respectful of persons who work in this very specific field and share their ideas. There are always persons behind some work you insult so easily.

You know, there are over 2M persons who read our articles. A few hundred also bought a book or a video-course from us, but the vast majority just got some information from free, and we like it in this way. I do not think we got so many persons interested in what we do by lying.

If you have a different professional experience I would happy to learn from it.
I've uninstalled lots of apps when they've sent coupons via notifications. Notifications are to notify me about things I need to act on. They are not a marketing channel. So, yes.
Thanks for this bit of information, now the raised print on credit cards finally makes sense.
There's most likely an arbitration clause to try and stop that in the EULA. Depending on your jurisdiction that might not apply though.

Still got the billion dollar lawyer army to get through.
What service did you use to sequence your genome?
It's why I use intellij instead of e.g. vim at the moment, I can use a lot of the features and they provide a definite advantage over my previous editor, VS Code, which was also pretty densely packed with features (although it has a much cleaner UI).

The other question is discoverability. I mean I'm sure vim is incredibly powerful, but none of the features are obvious and you have to trudge through two decades of websites to discover anything.

I've been unable to find out (actually I haven't really looked) how to use vim as a software developing tool (with basic features like autocomplete/suggest and error reporting)
Colorado might suit you.

Although, looking at timezones, you probably want a place that is more West-skewed for the timezone in order to get more daylight in the evenings.
In Russia, people logically, and quite justified, distrust the government as much as possible. Government there has a huge history of enslaving, torturing and killing their citizens all the way through today, in way Germany didn't know since the times of Nazis, not even in the GDR. Yet, everyday transactions in Russia are pretty much cashless, people pay to one another through card-to-card transfers and mobile payment are almost as universal as in China (where people don't trust their government at all btw).
That's a false choice.
People die on a daily basis, especially elderly ones. Sorry, but I am not buying this hype.
Well, the first video with the girl in the desert shows a case where things usually break down and they do so here too.
Everyone is welcome to take their own health into their own hands. However, for others looking to this as advice, please be aware that:

1) ACE inhibitors (lisinopril, etc.) are generally though to be enzymatic inhibitors of ACE, not ACE2 [1]. Also, enzymatic inhibition of the enzyme does not mean that it will prevent a virus from using that protein as an entry mechanism.

2) Chloroquine is an old drug with a well known safety profile, but it is certainly not a "safe" drug-- there are many known side effects including life threatening or severely disabling ones. As an MD, I recommend always consulting with your own medical provider(s) before starting any medications.

The much more magical part to me is how firing these patterns of electrical activity gives rise to an experience of remembering...

Also, how exactly do they know the neuronal firing patterns happen before remembering? If you have to signal you remembered something (as in the article, a word pair), isn't there always a delay between the experience of remembering and signalling your recall? Isn't it more accurate to say the electrical signals are fired fractions of a second before communicating what you recalled? How to know if what you remember doesn't correspond 1-1 with the neuronal firing patterns taking place (or even before the electrical activity).
It is wishful thinking. I can recall no case when someone said we should spam less ads or do it in a more respectful manner.

These apps could have been removed long ago, per the guidelines.
> and unfortunately that's often hiding everything until it's ready.

These sites usually aren't successful in that goal. Sure, they may be able to prevent content from showing up until the webfont has been loaded, but in my experience it's still extremely common for content to seriously jump around as the ads continue to load, especially on smaller screens (mobile).

So using "flash of unstyled content" as an excuse just doesn't hold up: users still have to learn to give a site a few extra seconds to settle before it's safe to interact without the content reflowing under your finger to put an ad where you wanted to tap, and breaking accessibility "for the sake of preventing FOUC" is dumb when you still have FOUC.

A similar tactic I've also seen that is even more unjustifiably anti-user is when the <body> element has "overflow: hidden" set until some heinous script that does it's own poor implementation of smooth scrolling can get up and running. These sites are universally improved by blocking such scripts and enabling native scrolling. This is one of the reasons why I believe browsers should be bundling together a large number of permissions that are off by default for every site the user has not flagged as being a web app. Google Maps has a good reason to interfere with scroll behavior; a news article does not.
That's right.
As opposed to stock exchange software, which runs on complex micro-services cloud k8s thing-as-a-thing virtualized rotozooming engines.
Wait, no, it's literally just good-old n-tier architecture with one big server process and some database backend.

Pet food delivery startups use k8s to manage their MEAN stack. Meanwhile grown-ups still have "monoliths" connected to something like Oracle, DB2 or MS SQL server, because that's obviously the most reliable setup.

The cloud/k8s stuff is an ad-hoc wannabe mainframe built on shaky foundations.
I'm sure they'd apply the same thing to it as they did with polygraphs.
> Focusing on the "Mars has more things to solve" thing continues to ignore the point.

I would like to know if solutions are feasible or even wanted.

Hypothetical Antarctic colony could simply ignore Antarctic Treaty. Did anyone seriously try?

Mars frozen water is likely not directly drinkable after melting. After all, martian soil seems to be toxic.
If you need to be told to wash your hands and shower, that’s a you problem, not a me problem. This is basic hygiene.
I would agree, but I don't understand why Facebook would file a lawsuit against Namecheap. I would have thought they'd file a lawsuit against John Does (the owners of the domains) and obtain an order from the Judge to compel Namecheap to reveal the names of the John Does.

Then again I haven't seen the court filings so maybe that's exactly what they did and Namecheap is just mentioned as an additional defendant.

Either way, I would also expect Namecheap not to reveal anything unless they are compelled to by court order or another legal obligation.
Cashless is a dream for government because they can switch the populace to a negative interest rate.
And you can have more or less anonymous companies in US.

London has had that for years now (rolled out 2012-2014), but I was particularly impressed to see a similar system on the buses in Belgrade.
But I think that’s he point. This is aimed at non tech teams. It minimises the amount of work the engineers need to do. Using open source solutions doesn’t because let’s face it an engineer needs to sit down figure out how to install it and they have to maintain it. For example at work we use Wikipedia. That’s open source right. It’s run on a k8s cluster. Open source! This is not a no-cost solution!

Unless there's rapid production of a vaccine or an effective antiviral drug, I think China's system probably won't help them that much. There will be too much opportunity for reinfection from the rest of the world, and inside China as they have to relax restrictions to keep production going.
