(Hopefully) the OS enforces memory protection between the adblock process and any HTTP client process, thus limiting attacks to only the data that resides in, or flows through, the adblock process.

With a bit more advanced setup, you could also completely cut off the adblock process from accessing any files or any other resources related to the browser, further nailing down security.

Sure, it is possible to have similar (or equivalent) setup for browser plugins, but it requires some special engineering done in the browser - and in that scenario no other apps benefit from the protection. Let's not forget there's many more crucial HTTP user agents than just the web browser.
`GNU Screen` I use every week for remote sessions on a server. Confusing especially if you're targeting programmers.
USA banned flights from/to China. Italy banned flights from/to China. (both decisions caused an outcry about "racism" at the time, btw) Other countries kept the flights going.
USA and Italy are now the countries hit hardest despite these restrictions, because the economy is global.

Either all countries must react properly, or a single country's actions won't do anything. Good luck with that.

And when Apple started automatically adding U2 to everyone's library, it wasn't wanted.
Looks good to me. The one thing is that the name is really confusing to talk about.
I realize it's the tagline, but it's kind of misleading to call Urbit an OS when it's a program that needs to run on Mac or Linux. WeChat is more fully featured, but we don't call WeChat an OS...
This. I had both iPod and Nomad Jukebox. Firewire made it possible to update or completely replace the song selection in minutes rather than hours.

The first US case was diagnosed on Jan 19 2020. The US-China border was closed on Feb 2. Screening procedures followed later on. It is up for debate whether or not screening procedures would have started earlier if the border had closed earlier. BUT, to say there is no evidence at all that a longer head start would have helped countries is a very dubious claim.

You have to be careful. By default, the bucket owner pays for outbound traffic, which can get really expensive: $0.09/GB for the first 10TB. (And there's no caching!)
India in lockdown feels like some European town in peak hours.
Interestingly, the more severe response of "check or cancel all flights to China" would not have worked, because by January 21th, the virus started community transmission in Germany and Italy.

But stocking up the mask and respirator and PPE reserve immediately would not have gone amiss, nor would fever checks at airports, public buildings etc.
Right. What were they thinking?
I don't have to imagine. That's still what HN does.
It would substantially reject a lot of assumptions that we normally not just take for granted, but require as part of the restrictive structure that shapes our models. In particular, time invariance is linked via Noether's Theorem to conservation of energy, and thus via Einstein's work to conservation of matter. Indeed, the modern version of time invariance, CPT symmetry, is as weak as it can be while still maintaining this connection. If CPT symmetry were to fail, then we would need to go find new mathematics and new mechanics. For this reason, we test it constantly; see [0] for an overview.

>paying an extra 10%+ in rent/mortgage

Where a one-bedroom is $4000, a two-bedroom is going to be $6500, not $4400.

Obviously a cheaper metro will have lower prices, but is the relative premium for an extra room also so dramatically lower?
That made me think of a really strong argument for many-worlds. Copenhagen's collapse notion is not time-reversible.
There is already a product for that use by that name (GNU Screen, installed on millions of machines already).

You cannot get a trademark on it, or at least shouldn’t be able to if the USPTO observed its rules.

You really need to change the name.
Insignificant Little Vermin: Choose your own adventure in the browser
You are welcome!

It has been a voyage implementing so many cloud providers and keeping them working. You might be surprised how much code is tests which get run against the cloud providers every night in the integration tests!
Doesn't really apply to the situation being discussed. You can absolutely wear it for two weeks during the fires. It will work just fine even well sealed. Not sufficient particulate matter in the air to be significant blocker.
Small correction: I don't work at Stripe! The person who made Buttondown does, I just use it for my newsletter.

Today, we're launching Screen, which is in many ways a successor to Screenhero. Our goal is to help you work with others like you’re in the same room.

Question for clarity sake, have I read this properly that you all still are with Slack, does this mean Screen.so is "A Slack Company" or just leveraging that relationship for tightly coupled/efficient integration as a wholly separate company?

Thanks!
That's most certainly the reason.

I sometimes have to support freelancers working in some of our Wordpress websites. Their first instinct when something is wrong on their end is asking me to run a chmod or chown command they found on Google on the whole directory. Not that it matters – we're using Docker.

Security seems to be secondary when the priority is to just deliver.
I love this idea, this is a wonderful thing you're doing. Really clean design, great featureset. I genuinely think it has the potential to be a powerhouse.

I think it's perfect for businesses, and large companies, but might not be something suited towards somebody like me.

TeamViewer is the current tool of choice as I do volunteer work remote-teaching art to students and I'd just be a little worried about migrating everything over while it's free, only to suddenly not be able to afford it.

This is of course no fault on your end, and I just think while this is aimed at a certain demographic, others might be more suited to working elsewhere as 'Free' and 'Free for a period of time until we decide to start charging' is a little intimidating.

Brilliant program, brilliant work, and I wish you the absolute best of luck <3
No. Perturbations would still be chaotic, but the limit would be only the exponential need for accuracy. You would also have to be able to measure the starting point exactly.
h20dragon mentioned https://adafruit.com. Just comb through the info and tutorials on this site and grab yourself a basic Arduino kit and get started.
From internal evidence from the article, they were also a people inside the Chinese empire. Nothing to do with the Greek Solon :-)
Maybe you got the terminology mixed up like I had? `* 1.3` is just about the growth rate per day, which isn't R0.

A Day in the Life of an ER Doc – A Brief Dispatch from the COVID19 Frontline
Why so confident? We have the technical skills, but this also takes institutional cooperation we suck at. We don't even have a standard format for conventional medical records in the US!
Okay, I think we're agreeing...otherwise I really don't understand what your position is about asymptomatic people.
Well, you can kick things off by sacrificing any member of your family over the age of 50 then.

It's almost as if people don't realise economies are reliant on people to contribute to them. You infect half the population you're going to have the same effect regardless. Only this way, we might not end up killing millions unnecessarily.
Where are you going to post that app? I’d love to take a look! Especially since you might call it nowa.
I’m excited to see this because I was a big fan of ScreenHero. The Slack equivalent was never up to the same quality.

But to echo other comments, you really need to change the name.
What would you rather have cops do to people riding around on motorcycles without helmets in clear violation of curfew? These are likely folks with a mobile phone (safe assumption given mobile phone penetration in India) who have heard the news and know that cops are cracking down on people in the streets.

To go out despite knowing what they know is tantamount to violating curfew with impunity. Cops are not in the streets to provide a PSA about COVID19. They are there to enforce the law. For once they are vs. taking bribes (a common topic shout Indian cops on HN). Now you have a problem with that as well? Please suggest a scalable solution. The time to coddle people into doing their part to “arrest” the spread of COVID19 has passed.
Apple is a really big place, so there is a lot of variability. On top of that, there is little internal pressure to clean out postings that are essentially stale (no longer have a budget behind them). So you sort of have to get lucky and apply for one that is active.

The other way to find the active ones is to find the recruiters (internal or external) that are posting on non-Apple sites. These are generally active posts, but not all active posts go through them.

And to paraphrase a developer who was talking about another Apple Developer Relations channel, "Great! Another channel for Apple to ignore us on!" (internally I can say that there is a lot of listening, just not a lot of reacting).
could you please share a source? I dont think your comment deserves to be downvoted like it is, but a source on the data you mention would be very helpful.
Would someone happen to know, what the icon looking like a [ is in front of every command prompt. And potentially how to remove it from appearing?
If you mean that peasants still had to rely on the land owned by somebody else to survive, then yes. But this had been the case in every country that had serfdom and abolished it, usually until industrialization funneled all those peasants into the cities.

But serfdom is a lot more than that - it's literally treating people as slaves, selling them etc. That part was decisively abolished.

By 1917, when the Revolution happened, peasants' primary concern was access to and control of the land, not personal freedom.
As soon as I saw "public class PriceSpecification" I got a creepy feeling.

Why shouldn't the specifications be more purely data, like
{field:"price", operator:">", level: 150 }

Then you DON'T need to write new classes for DividendYieldSpecification and PeRatioSpecification - you just need to make sure those fields are available in the data, or write support to derive them when they are requested.
Is there a syntactical reason this method couldn’t be supported in rST?
Please don’t tell me what not to do, it’s considered harmful.

Especially please don’t tell me to ignore an industry standard only to offer some bespoke solution as an alternative.
That's a reflection of how wide / narrow is being tested by those who entered health care systems. It's extremely hard to accurately extrapolate that to a global population.

The million dollar question here is how many cases go unnoticed. How many deaths go unnoticed. Nobody really knows.

Nobody knows how mortality is going to evolve either, since nobody knows how well health care systems around the world will be able to cope. Collapsing health care systems will yield a different outcome then those that do cope. And we don't know how they will cope.

So, I'm not accepting either "a few ten thousands" or "multiple millions" of deaths predictions at face value. The right answer is the very uncertain "we do not know".

What is clear is that people die from this, that no one is immune, and that a confusing response of authorities that aren't able to rally together doesn't really spark confidence.
Real web security is fighting back against browsers as the OS and executing all arbitrary JS code like grandma opening every email attachment she gets.
I was a paying customer of Screenhero, and disappointed that Slack left out so many features, so excited to see this.

Curious: I assume you can't just sell your company and rebuild it in most cases. Was there an embargo on the amount of time before you could build this?
The asian countries by and large did better because they don't view every decision through a narrow economic lens. They simply understand that the health of their population is the ground upon which everything else is built.

US/West has been taken over by paperclip maximizers, thats all. The landlords want to maximize paperclips, so no rent relief for small businesses. The politicians see this and decide shutting down would be catastrophic, instead of questioning the premise.

Like it is literally inconceivable to me how retarded modern capitalism is. You need a 5-6 week shutdown on businesses, so force rent to be waived for that period. Thats most of the fixed cost, and the employees being on leavetakes care of the variable cost. The businesses don't go bankrupt, everyone just takes a 6 week vacation and comes back like nothing happened. You need ICUs/equipment - take over hotels and make it happen. Instead, they are worried about getting congress approval to pass a bill to pay the hotel owners leasing costs during a global emergency. In the face of a million deaths, the paperclip maximizers can only see all the lost paperclips.
Serioulsy it rocks !
happy to see it works without any problem on linux, and can join a session in the browser.
While we are in the middle of an apocalypse, you're name calling the people who predicted it.

I sincerely hope that one of the side effects of this crisis would be more acceptance towards science.
My apologies. Misunderstood your statement.

I would still say that having stockpiles of PPE is good management. My sister is a nurse and she had been complaining about having to find gloves last year, long before there even was a crisis. Some of these hospitals really do skimp on equipment. Just In Time and LEAN practices are cool, but you need to keep a stock of backups enough to last a month or two in the event of a shortage where every other hospital is also trying to produce the same equipment. Some might say it’s easy to say this in hindsight, but I’ve been hearing about these practices long before this crisis. Right now everything on the news about these shortages just echoes what many healthcare professionals already knew and were concerned about. There are systemic management issues in the medical industry. Hopefully a bill comes from this.
Identifying Potential Small Molecule Inhibitors of the Covid-19 Coronavirus
Do you perceive this to be a direct competitor to Tuple? I recall Ben Orenstein saying on his podcast that he reached out to you about creating a "successor" to Screenhero and you were all for it. (FWIW I think more competition in the space is good.)
I’ve lived this small and you get clever. I put things in storage under my bed, in my bookshelf, and in boxes in my closet. Worst case, I would just stack them in the open or on counters, behind the sink, and on window ledges
I left Slack in 2018, and Screen has no formal relationship with Slack outside of the fact that it uses the Slack API. Screen is a heavy user of Slack, though!
Technically you don't even need both '<' and '=='. Just '<=' will do if you follow the mathematical definitions (i.e. a <= b and b <= a implies a == b). This is not always the most efficient, but it's not the worst option.
InformNapalm Accounts on Twitter Blocked
Sure they are. None of the surveys, nor the vote before the partition, nor the numerous Hindu genocides, nor the thousands of temple destroyed, nor the millennia of (continuing) barbaric violence - nothing is evidence for what you are selling.

I'm not surprised that you're here peddling the 'break India' theory which the American academia (surprise, surprise) also loves to indulge in.
I'll use whatever I damn well please. Don't tread on me!
And despite that, we already have a single unified clock standard that we follow!

Being able to measure the drift at a specific point doesn't mean it's relevant to computers timestamping their calculations. If a computer is ten nanoseconds off, that's basically the same as it being one rack to the left, or having some slack in the cable. There's no real effect.

Just syncing your clock once a day is enough to let you completely ignore the effects of relativity.
It could be a newer thing or their DriveNow interface on top.
Yeah, totally forgot about the second one. Thanks!

I would seriously consider renaming this. Many of us have been using GNU screen for very similar tasks of terminal sharing and pair programming.

The name you have chosen requires an explanation just to discuss this with my coworkers. Perhaps it is a generational thing, but in a quick survey asking around "Have you heard of the new tool screen?" the response was 100% "screen isn't new and yes I've heard of it... have you heard of tmux?"

I completely agree with you, when all you want is to display basic content WordPress is a great tool (+1 for Hugo suggestion from

More and more businesses want interactions, fast navigation, etc. which are easier to deliver with progressive web apps than traditional websites that's why I choose this custom and more time consuming solution.

Depends on where you are. The capital of British Columbia, Victoria, just dumps their raw sewage into the ocean.

>(Hopefully) the OS enforces memory protection between the adblock process and any HTTP client process, thus lowering the direct attack surface to only the data that resides in, or flows through, the adblock process.

>With a bit more advanced setup, you could even completely cut off the adblock process from accessing any files or any other resources related to the browser, further nailing down security.

How would that even work? The adblocking process has full access to whatever's being passed through it, and therefore it can eavesdrop or tamper (eg. inject malicious js) with the contents.

Sounds useful, but it's a lot like dns based adblockers or hosts file, only worse because it only works locally, and only for applications that support/respect the proxy settings.
No. Quote FAQ:

> Not currently, no. It's on the to-do list (details here), and hopefully will be part of the reStructuredText parser soon. At that time, markup like this will become possible:

Here is some *emphasized text containing a `hyperlink`_ and
``inline literals``*.

So absolutely valid syntax just doesn’t work. Aaaand that todo list entry dates back to 2001.

(I know, I know, instead of complaining I should submit a fucking patch. Unfortunately fixing reST is one of the least urgent things on my should-submit-a-patch list.)
Using Uninitialized Memory for Fun and Profit (2008)
Our plan is to charge $10/u/mo for unlimited use. If you’re using Screen for educational purposes, we’ll likely be able to work out a non-profit / educational discount down the line too.
I disagree: the paper wasn't linked -the dumb summary of it was. The paper itself is a trivial result of chaotic dynamics rather than "muh mind bending woo headline."

Newsflash: a simple double pendulum also requires Planck length precision in initial conditions (or would if it weren't for, like, friction) for reversibility if you sit around and watch it for long enough and excite it properly.
> Could someone with more experience comment on that? Is concurrency really easier in functional languages and is the rising importance of concurrency a valid reason to look into functional programming?

Only you know if concurrency is relavant to your work. A lot of internet stuff is deeply concurrent, but there's a lot of sequential work out there, too.

I have experience with Erlang. It's amazing for concurrency, but the reason is really not anything it gives you, but everything it prevents you from doing, or requires you to do.

Erlang's immutability is important because it means you can't save a reference to something and have it magically updated; if you want a value updated somewhere, you need to send the current value or request the current value at time of use; explicit synchronization makes concurrency clearer, and helps influence system design to reduce synchronization. Immutability also makes message passing easier; the content of a message can't change after it's composed which means the implementation is free to make a copy of the message if it's convenient and as a programmer, there's no need to consider the effects of changing something that you sent to another process. Immutability also makes garbage collection very simple; it's impossible to form a looped datastructure, so there's no need for mark and sweep, a simple copying collector is sufficient. Individual stacks per Erlang process (like a green thread) means GC pauses don't stop the world, only individual processes, and pause length is bounded and proportional to the memory use of the process.

You could certainly set up a similar environment in C or whatever traditional language; the problem would be enforcing your system design on your own code, and partitioning off library code (including libc and/or kernel syscalls) to ensure it doesn't impact your system design either.
What happened in Italy is that they delayed... and then ended up shutting down everything anyway - just with a lot more infected people and deaths, and the exact same economic hardships.
