If this could be shown to work, that might not be such a bad idea provided the effects could be ceased quickly if the reaction becomes a problem in itself. It's been suggested that the antivirals only provide a substantial benefit in the early stages of the infection, and that the complications and deaths in the later stages are not from the presence of the virus per se, but the damage and fluid in the lungs from the immune system's attempt to fight it.
Peanuts was in its prime before my time, but when I read it, it was cute but not funny. To me it seemed like a bunch of kids with adult neuroses, it seemed disconnected.

I loved the Far Side when it was at its peak in the late 80's, but it's just disconnected one-frame gags. And upon re-reading as an adult, they were very inconsistent, and the surrealism hasn't aged well. Maybe some comics just belong in childhood/teenage years, but it's clear that some really work for adults as well.

Family Circle falls into the cute one-strip category, but it didn't have much depth either--too saccharine. To me it didn't compare to European comics focused on family antics like Boule et Bill, or Mafalda (Argentinian).

I really think the American comics were hampered by the daily strip in the newspaper format. Many authors did try to make longer story arcs over a week of strips, and I preferred those. Calvin and Hobbes was the best at it, but there were other good ones such as Mutts and Over the Hedge. There were/are authors working outside the strip format, making whole book comics like in Europe, but I never got into those--too dark (Maus) or super-hero (Watchmen) or never-ending. For example, the more recent Amulet series started out well, but each book went deeper and deeper into the story and never really resolved the initial tension--I gave up after 7 or 8 books.
We use Algolia and use the public API keys with search filters encoded so they can only search their data (I.e. account_id:123)

Is there anything similar here? Otherwise all the queries need to go through our servers first to ensure the filter is present.
If you don't have a backend and don't want to use sqlite or something externally you can't save your data with the expectation it won't get erased. Before this change someone could manually clear storage, running out of space could trigger erasing this, etc. Now things clear after 7 days.

If you care about saving that data forever don't use local storage. Just like don't expect cookies you set on the client not to be modified by the client.
[random advice from the internet]

If you're considering lowering your rates as jobs become scarce, it makes sense to recognize that the best likely result is fewer jobs at lower rates with higher rates of cancellation and non-payment. The higher rates of cancellation and non-payment are in part due to the general economic situation and largely due to the inherent undercapitalization of projects requiring lower rates to move forward.

The opportunity is moving upmarket and chasing better clients. Those with good capitalization structures. Or to put it another way, join the race to the bottom in better paying market segments. Doors open when everyone is shopping around.
Do you work with embedded systems that use glibc? It's bloated.

It's bad enough keeping up with the cruft dreamed up by POSIX; why add BSD functions that nobody uses outside of the BSD microcosm.

Glibc is monolithic; functions that nothing in your system uses are still sitting there in the .so image.

Actually, Apple has crippled non-PWA apps. I agree that Apple does seem to not want PWAs to succeed based on my experiences with them on my iPhone, but on the other hand this effectively does not apply to PWAs that are added to the user’s home screen since the counter only runs every day Safari runs but homescreen sites have their own counters.

I worry that 7 days is too short of a period even then, but I do agree indefinite local storage does not make sense in most cases.
They also forced some publishers off the platform, even if they participated in Safari.

Another comment, at the risk of sounding like a crazy fanboy. After years of use, I still can't get enough of D3, it doesn't feel like JavaScript yet it fully embraces the best parts of the language.

It is indeed a lot more difficult to learn than other solutions, but with the experience it becomes second nature to "think in it" and explore data iteratively, building visualizations along the way all while having fun (and its concepts map very nicely with how Edward Tufte lays out things in his books).

All this to say: thank you.
I mean look if you want to compare overall python doc quality vs elixir doc quality (especially for community projects)...

I write Elixir docs on my projects because it's easy pretty and obsessively making my docs prettier hits that spot in my brain.

Extreme example:

https://hexdocs.pm/zigler/Zigler.html

Where I've automatically marshalled zig code into the elixir documentation (https://hexdocs.pm/zigler/beam.html#get_f32/2) and you can click the slash in the upper right of the function header to link to the code on Github.

As a bonus, check it out on mobile and compare it to this on mobile:

Many web developers are turning to Electron in these cases but IMHO this is a waste of resources as the Electron runtime is not shared among the different apps running and there is only so many browser engines your computer can run before it has impact on its performance

Why? Why isn't the case that the code which runs Electron, and library code JIT-ted by Electron can't be reused by other processes on the same system?
I've spent hours playing this today. Thanks! Lots of fun.
Yes manual labor is used when it makes economic sense and automation is the same. Robots did indeed take over many tasks, but people still exist and still want to work so they do stuff too.

The idea that automation means people can't or don't work is a fallicy.
Corporate Paternalism in the Age of Coronavirus
Note that this is an op-ed by a professor at UNC Chapel Hill, not something by a journalist.
I really like the idea of being able to consistently and reliably reproduce these hard asynchronous bugs. I have heard engineers working with customers and finding it hard to understand and fix issues because the issue happens in certain conditions that are unknown. This leads to many issues left unresolved or fixed through workarounds that seem to hold things up.

Coyote now empowers the developers, by not only identifying hard to find bugs, but also enable them to replay these bugs and study the root cause and make a solid fix. This should help with stability and uptime of services over time.

You might want to consider collaborating on building out Pagure[0], which is a git forge that enables decentralized development.

Pagure supports submitting pull requests with Git repos on any server (regardless of whether it's running Pagure or not) with its remote pull requests feature. Issues, docs, and pull request metadata are all stored as git repos using JSON files as data, making it easy and portable to other Pagure instances and easy to convert for any other system. This makes it an excellent base for building decentralized development workflows with the oft-expected Git forge interface model. Since all the stuff is in Git repos, they could all be backed by dgit, for example. :)

The official explanation for cystic fibrosis touted by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is that people with CF are "drowning in their own mucus."

Airway clearance is medically prescribed and it's not because we tend to have big holes in our lungs from repeated infections. It's because we tend to have too much gunk in our lungs.

Reduced lung function per se for people with CF is typically due to the lungs being eaten away by infection. The end game for medical treatment of that issue is typically lung transplant. People with CF account for about a third of all adult and half of all pediatric lung transplants in the US, or did the last time I looked up such stats.

I apologise for being rude, but IMO you didn't build an app, you built a web page. Web pages are things people look at one time or maybe many times, but they are just web pages that exist in a web browser for the lifetime of the tab they're in, and then they're gone. They shouldn't expect to have any persistent storage from the browser, and if the browser does make small affordances for storage, it's not reasonable to have that persist indefinitely.

Apps are bundles of code/assets that people choose to install on a computer because they want to use them over time to do something. They have a clear lifecycle of installation and deletion that the user has complete control over.

I know the web app, PWA, offline app, etc. stuff is very popular, but it will never be as good as native apps, and it creates an expectation that every browser will expand its functionality until it is effectively a full operating system.

I think the only reasonable case for the web-as-app model, is things that get installed to the home screen, in the sense that the user is then again given control of the lifecycle, but I would still honestly prefer that people just write a native application.
> Any legit person building a legit bot would know to fake the agent string.

What, that's totally backwards. Anyone using a bot to do things that might get blocked by publishers fakes the string, legit purposes should really show who / what they are.
It’s a nightmare with the crowd that was so in love with Quinines the last few days. The argument is, basically, “I believe in science, but not during a crisis”. I guess that saying about foxholes and atheists isn’t entirely wrong.

At its core, these are all variations of Pascal’s wager. I believe what would be most useful is pointing out that using the scientific method does not automatically lead to multi-year 3-phase trial requirements. It’s perfectly possible to use the statistical methods we usually do, but adjust parameters such as cutoffs for significance or weighting of side-effects to better match our preferences and increased risk tolerance.

Especially the logistics oriented companies are incredibly important. Flexport, Medina's, Osh.

If wonder why, the German government (procurement was handled by the military procurement agency and a department of German customs) "lost" a suppliers shipment of 6 million FFP2 masks (or 3 million, numbers are not really reliable so far) in Kenia. For everyone wondering why they have been shipped througj Africa, welcome to the club. I have no idea. But it seems logistics was handled by the supplier.

Having control over your supply chain, from sourcing through distribution, is critical right now.

Good to see YC has some of such companies in their portfolio.
How is this any better?? I don't expect apps I install - native or PWA - to clear their data if I don't use them every 7 days. That's crazy!
In general all these interpretations are more popular on the technically literate web going culture than in actual research in physics where Copenhagen style views still predominate.

For the simple reason that all of the other interpretations (Many Worlds, Bohmian, Transactional) only somewhat work with Non-Relativistic QM not with QFT. Only Copenhagen works with QFT.
You can mandate manufacturers write the values to the database the same way you'd mandate that they print values on the packaging.

You would probably use EAN or even GTIN rather than UPC to be more universal while you're at it.

Edited to add:

Using GTINs on actual articles might have made a slightly incremental improvement to life in current turmoil. Ordinarily of course competing supermarket brands in the UK aren't allowed to work together - that's a competition rules violation. But right now four half-empty trucks to four supermarkets makes no sense, so send two full trucks and you've got two other trucks to take stuff elsewhere. But the result is my local Brand X supermarket has Brand Y "own brand" products on some shelves. If a truck full of frozen vegetables arrives, and they're Brand Y vegetables, well, too bad, customers want food, they'll buy those just the same. But the codes for them don't work because each supermarket uses its own short (EAN-8) codes, since they never expect them to be used in other companies. So I can't easily buy those vegetables. I still will of course because I want food, there are _queues_ to buy food now. But if they used longer codes they could just share all the data across all the big supermarkets and it would Just Work™.

I know it's the nature of startups that most of these efforts will fail for technical reasons, fail for financial reasons, arrive to late, get preempted, etc. Maybe this is doubly true for hard problems in biology like drug discovery.

Coyote brings a fundamental and revolutionary change in the design, development and testing of asynchronous systems:

- Finding even the most obscure concurrency bugs even before pushing to production?

- All done on your laptop and in no time?

- Giving you a full repro in the Debugger?

Not only are big professional teams in Azure reporting this, but I personally have benefited enormously from being able to use Coyote in my work.
We only blocked agent strings with "lib" in them. You could change the agent to "WebScraperSupreme.com" and it would have been fine (and in fact some people did do that).

Preview: ReactJS Concurrent Mode
Thank you for your reply. I appreciate your candor.

I hope you are right that the fear so many are experiencing is overblown, but as of this moment in time I disagree.

Respectfully, from all of the data, I believe your less deadly and less contagious beliefs are unfounded. Going by the current worldwide number of confirmed cases and confirmed deaths related to covid-19:
(18,433 deaths / 413,467 confirmed cases) * 100 = 4.45% death rate.

I understand you might think these numbers are skewed because of places like Italy, so let's take the current US numbers:
(804 deaths / 59,502 confirmed cases) * 100 = 1.35% death rate.

Both numbers are MUCH higher than any flu season. If you think that only 30% of the population of the US will get the disease, that is ~110 million people. 1.35% of 110 million people is 1,485,000 people. AND this is assuming the healthcare system isn't overwhelmed, and we can treat people as they need it. And these numbers are ON TOP OF the normal flue season numbers.

My fear is based on the data being put out every day, and the unimaginably, woefully late response and lack of responsibility from the federal government, as well as the lack of individual responsibility people are taking on. Western nations especially have been pathetically apathetic to respond.

Everybody needs to start treating this virus like the threat it is. Stay inside. Temporarily sacrifice some small pleasantries you are used to having in your life to save the lives of people's mothers, fathers, and grandparents.
> the reaction of most of my circle 100% of the people approve of the government action.

It helps that you have a leader that articulates the scale of the problem and is clear about what measures are being put in place to deal with the situation both tactically and strategically.

I don't want to politicize the conversation, HN is not the place for that, but it's striking how the different management styles in say NZ & IRL differ from the UK & US and how that is helping people deal with the crisis.

In the US for example, individual Governors (aka Team Leads) are taking up the slack where the CEO is not equipped to deal with the scale of the problem. But fundamentally in a pandemic (aka extrinsic force) what counts is trust in leadership, what Ms Arden is demonstrating. Good luck, stay safe.
i use kexec for reboots and store the keys for disks inside an initramfs which itself is stored on an encrypted boot partition. When i do a cold boot these systems boot into a recovery like OS so i can fix stuff when needed but mainly to do a kexec there (its not perfect but what is). If its possible to avoid this (i.e. i have physical access) i can decrypt the initramfs directly from grub using a passphrase entered locally.

A warm reboot using kexec does not need any intervention from my side and directly boots into the already decrypted initramfs with the key already present and thus able to mount the encrypted volumes including the root volume.

This is excellent; big UI/UX win. Just surfacing the dependency graph that was already there in the background makes a huge difference to my mental model of a notebook.
People seem to take the lesson that string theory is specifically flawed, and we should study some other theory instead. It's really an argument that we shouldn't study any ultra high energy domain at all. I disagree but it would be a more productive discussion than the flawed idea that string theory is uniquely untestable.
Sorry, can you define deduction for me? The way you're using it seems different to the ways I've seen it used elsewhere.
I don't understand your objection. Did you have bad hunches? Did you check that your bad hunches were actually meaningless?

If you failed at becoming a mathematician because you have usually bad hunches, why should you be included as a counterexample to a claim that mathematicians have usually good hunches? P=>Q is fully compatible with (not-P AND not-Q).
What's a good way to estimate server requirements?
Did PWA's take off? What are some famous/big PWA's now? I can't remember ever "installing" anything in a browser as an app, or even being asked if I wanted to do it. Am I misunderstanding what they are?
I've previously expressed my concerns that the focus on ventilators will lead to a secondary pandemic of antibiotic resistant secondary infections. But I don't think "nuking" these articles helps. I think it is much better for them to make the front page and get appropriately criticized. That pattern seems to be actively fostering better articles making it to the front page.
That's good advice. The general hope is that things start to ramp back up for fall conference season though I'm not placing any big bets on that. A few conferences are still holding to summer plans but IMO that's very iffy especially if they're not at the very tail end.
I'm not sure I understand how it is "installed" if you aren't adding it to your homescreen?

Laid-Off SAS Airline Employees to Receive Medical Training to Support Hospitals
> There's a reason why Red Bull picked Max Verstappen over Carlos Sainz instead of having both

Redbull haven’t really resolved this problem though. Max obviously has championship potential, and is their number one driver. But they haven’t managed to find a suitable teammate for him. They need their own Bottas. A driver who is comfortable being the number 2, but talented enough to lock out the front row and consistently get on the podium with Max. They’ve found good personality fits (Albon is perfect in that respect), but haven’t found anybody who is also talented enough to give Redbull constructor potential.

That said, I really like Bottas, and I think it’s sad he doesn’t have a shot at fighting for the championship. His performance at CotA last year was amazing, and it felt great to watch him really race Hamilton (though the team arguably gave Bottas a safer strategy in this case).

I don't understand what the problem is.

I can easily go to the settings area and delete my entire browser cache (Remove All Website Data), in fact if you are running low of space it even tells you to do it.

Why are people assuming things stored on a browser are a good place to store things. Nothing stored on a browser should be assumed to be forever.
