The fact that that is possible does not change the role of the web browser in the modern computing experience.

But why shouldn't new possibilities change the modern computing experience or the role of browsers within it? Millions of users are benefitting from new capabilities of modern browsers, even if they don't know the details any more than they know what goes into any other software they use. Why is local storage of data, or the idea of a PWA more generally, special in this respect?
Informatics as well, Informatics Engineering is a protected title in many countries.

While the exam can be avoided if one isn't into signing contracts and taking legal responsibility in project execution, the order still has a last word to say regarding which universities are allowed to actually claim that they give engineering titles in Informatics.
That's approximately how large our clusters are. Fortunately, ours are read-only, so our admin story is:

- Hey, a node died!
- Run Terraform to stand up a whole new cluster and restore it from a snapshot.
- Update the app to point at the new cluster.
- Run Terraform to delete the old cluster.

I'm pretty happy with this arrangement.
Even if ideas come from an uncountable set (not convinced yet), there are still only countably many ideas people will ever have. Each time anyone comes up with an idea, I can assign it a new integer.
I had to ragequit in the third minute. "A container is the filesystem inside your application." Just, no.

This is exactly the kind of word salad approach to explaining k8s that I complained about in my other comment. All of the k8s tutorials are written by (or recorded by) people with no idea what they are talking about.
I agree, this is really stupid. Data should only be reclaimed when requested by the user or if more storage is needed on the system on a LRU policy per site.
Selectively quarantine at risk populations, segment the population and share non-overlapping access to public spaces and workspaces, work with large employers (esp. state run) to define new workplace procedures that limit transmission, run government programs to collect used N95 masks for sterilization and re-distribution, install checkpoints to prevent personal vehicles from traveling between cities...

There's lots of nuanced strategies we could've taken. We settled on the simplest, most hysterical, least sustainable one.
It still comes down to the point that everyone wants you to load an app from an app store. Which drives me nuts. Just give me the web, please.

PWA is about the web.
You might want to talk to kero (https://github.com/Kerollmops/). He is currently working on it !

One fear I have is that the current US administration will bring one (a war) to us sooner rather than later.
Makes sense, they want you to create native apps so they can collect their rent, and also dictate what is in, what is out, and control searching of apps.
I agree with the posts saying most are of little to no value, maybe even negative considering anxiety from monitoring. I think a decent proxy for obstructions is a good pulse oximeter.

I would also recommend getting your vitamin D levels checked. The normal range is far below what you should be at from my experience. 60-80ng/ml is an ideal range ("normal" from my lab is anywhere from 30-100) from what I've read. Can start supplementing and seeing if it helps.

Invest into having a functional process to receive and handle security reports, and having the appropriate information published first. That's way more important than having an account with some bounty platform.

And bounty platforms aren't a security audit. If you want an audit, buy an audit by someone who gets access to your code and can review your internal setup.
Hello!
Cloud Run would be better if it supported Cloud IAP and wildcard managed certificates.

Overall though it is an amazing service and it is really fast and easy to use.
I disagree. If you’ve run a mailing list of any reasonable size before you’ll quickly run into the same experience the author had: you have to get good at a lot of disparate skills in order to keep the list from falling apart, either due to user attrition or technical reasons like spam traps and engagement metrics.

The OP didn’t pitch this as an exhaustive reference of every issue that can come up, but it’s a good sampler of the kind of problems you have to deal with, and stuff that most people wouldn’t even think about.

Cybersecurity experts see spike in digital espionage from China
Its a trade off though - its orders of magnitude harder to develop a web browser app, and they are slower, and there are limits to what you can do. So yes the link is easier but its a trade off, so just saying you can just send a link glosses over a lot of decisions, you can just send a link to something on an App Store to, and the power difference in the apps is significant and really how hard is it to install something from an App Store

It would be nice if you could synchronize the state down to local storage periodically and attempt to restore it upon page load. You could add an explicit "Reset" button to null this out.

Okay, you're clearly not a marketer, but maybe try to think like one for a moment.

What you've said, in effect, is, "Gee, someone came to the site with some interest (say, from a Hacker News link) but no idea what this secret sauce is. Screw 'em! Gem them out of here!"

Alternatively, if you give them an idea of what they're looking at (and no, I don't think you have to drill down to every tiny detail on the front page), maybe they'll realize, "Hey, that's something I should at least look into."
I wonder what happened to USDS? Does it still exist? A need for an "official" version of such a thing is pretty obvious, yet the CDC website is pretty much worse than nothing at all, because people go there, and whatever data they have is not only incomplete, it's also a few days behind. They also don't update it over the weekend, as far as I can tell.
Bought it few months ago, mostly due to being impressed by the engineering side of it, then had a closer look at the data it was collecting at night and it looked very much like something pulled out of someone's ass. It literally did NOT correlate to what's been happening. It showed "deep sleep" for times that I was awake and was checking my watch, it also showed REM sleep when it was clearly a deep phase, etc.

First time it happened, I let it slide and gave it another chance. Then it needed another chance, and another... and the I gave up. I ultimately lost all trust in what it was reporting.

It's still a beautiful piece of engineering, it just doesn't do what it claims to be doing :-/
Usually they don't say the quiet part out loud, and yet here we are.

We're incredibly fortunate in tech that we can do a large portion of work remotely, many people aren't so lucky. One would think that we'd value life above profit but lately that doesn't appear to be the case.
Well, it's an improvement. The previous record was 32768 hours. One small step for HP, one giant problem for the sysadmin.
tl;dr: The processor protects data accesses to the internal flash while the hardware debugger is connected so people with hardware access can't read out the code and config. But this protection only applies to the data side of the Harvard architecture buses. The instruction bus is used by the hardware to fetch the reset vector on a hardware reset. But the vector table is under software control. So by changing the reset vector to point to an arbitrary address in flash, then resetting the CPU under the debugger, you can get it to load your desired word from memory into the PC.

Pretty clever.
Such a selfish argument
There's a reason I like Mark Cuban. I'm glad he spoke against this insanity. For a billionaire, he's always taken great care of his players.

Not really, no.

Cloud Run implements the Knative API, so you can actually take it away and run it on any Kubernetes cluster anywhere on a cloud or in your datacenter.
Risk vs. Reward. It's truly sad for those who can't work remotely and have to soon choose between risking their lives (or family members for that matter) vs. getting paid. Now that the stimulus is to be passed soon, I also wonder how many people would voluntarily quit and just file for unemployment. So many uncertainties ahead...
Huh, I guess "hard not to call" could be interpreted as a disclaimer or qualifier meaning "I can't prove this, and it's only my opinion".

However, I interpreted it differently, to basically mean that because of objective fact, of all the explanations you can think of, only one of them is defensible. In other words, it's similar to saying "admit it, this is the only reasonable conclusion".
i agree, i have been trying to help out anyone i can with bigger tips, gift cards from resturants, etc

i just feel like its not going to be enough.
This shouldn't be surprising to anyone.

Billionaires are billionaires because of the extreme disproportionate gains by the few at the expense of thousands/millions.

They're used to seeing the many slave away for their interests.

Not seeing that happening now is throwing their view of proper world order into chaos and they're not used to be back in a position without control.
I have pretty big doubts about the usefulness of clinical sleep tests after having had one a few years ago. Perhaps they work well for very deep and immediate sleepers. But with the electrodes, a strange location, multiple interruptions, a sleep position I never sleep in, etc, it was probably one of the worst nights of sleep in my life. The doctor seemed to disregard all of that and treat it as my typical night sleep and based the treatment recommendations on it, which is when I realized I needed to seek help elsewhere. I've found other methods like Fitbit come closer to reality since they record the data under normal sleep conditions.
Okay, so if we let the infection rip, what's their plan to deal with the massive wave of people suffocating on their own phlegm? Dig a trench?
What if, at the tail end of all this, a bunch of people find that they've tried remote work and decided: "Hey - this fucking rules!" In part because they've realized that they can complete their core work duties in less time, with less distractions, and zero commuting.

Maybe - just maybe - this could be the unplug that helps people prioritize the things that they enjoy over their work.

I recognize that's a viewpoint that represents immense privilege. I'm in a job where I'm capable of working remotely. But it'd be a neat thing for people like me to be able to leverage.
As the article has been updated to say, "installing" a PWA to the home screen is an optional step that many people prefer not to do in favor of bookmarks or the address bar or the new tab page or whatever.

But it's no surprise that Apple would want to impose an "install" step on the web to prevent it from looking more attractive than the App Store.
All of those seem fine aside from logic in init() functions. In particular, not sure how global variables in someone else's code impacts you.
Not their problem.
I'm using my quarantine time to read Piketty's "Capital in the 21st century". I'm actually pretty sure I'm _not_ going back to work if it risks my health.

And it is obvious that the rentiers of our economy want the non-rentiers to go back to work. The rentiers actually have little to lose. The article states they might get sick, but if we're being realistic, they are very well sheltered against the collapse of the healthcare system when they would, unlike the rest of us.
Thanks for the discount, don't know if I ever had a coupon that forces me to make a decision in 30 minutes! Smart way to make a sale, give me just enough time to do a little research knowing the clock is ticking...

I was about to close the tab but then I saw they have developer tools where you can get an API key to access your own data -- very cool
Except for the whole sexual harassment scandal a couple of years ago...
Seems to be a lot more air traffic today. Maybe they want to unflatten the curve a bit before flattening it again.
Seriously hope you're right. But given that we're clearly in a distressed timeline, I doubt this will happen.
Seems like a pretty straightforward reason: billionaires have lots of people working under them, and they understandably want those people to work again for financial reasons. Definitely not a good idea to go back to work now, though; hopefully this quarantine brings people (socially, emotionally, not physically) together, and hopefully it lasts as long as is necessary.
Hi HN,

I couldn't find a richly interactive COVID-19 map anywhere that includes historical data, so I made my own. I used SvelteJS and deck.gl to create a fast and functional frontend. The dataset comes from USAFacts[1].

The first two depend _very_ heavily on both your home and office environments. It is certainly not true for myself.
Some of us look after our employees.
60-80? That seems high - I don't think you could be at that without taking a lot of supplements every day.

I think 30 is the lab normal (and it was recently raised to 30 from 20) - though a lot of people are below that when tested.

I can’t wrap my head around this. Why would any sane person say this out loud, regardless of their opinions?

Don’t these people have PR consultants around? What am I missing?
They don't care. That's how they are billionaire and only thing that matter to them is get the revenue and get work done.

Interestingly enough, there is also now, with the explosion of co-working spaces, services for that part of the market that wants to work "in town" but without a commute to the "big smoke" (so to speak)

I wonder how WeWork will fare when an entire 2 generations of people realise they can work close to home and be more productive...
I'm getting takeout, encouraging other people to get takeout and I run r/Gigworks.

(And I'm not a tech worker. I'm a dirt poor freelance writer, but I'm at least still working because I've done remote work for years.)

I'm trying to light my teeny, tiny little candle rather than curse the dark. The pizza place I've been going to regularly for carryout is doing a bit better than they were two weeks ago. I've discussed it with staff. They've said business is still light, but not scary like it was.
It's funny, I've been working remotely for the past 4 years and now more than ever, I miss going to an office and being around more people. Working remote has some amazing benefits, and I've certainly taken advantage of them, but eventually I've realized that decreased social interaction is something to consider. That said, I'll probably keep working remote.
The difference between Reporting and Analytics
Recent research (as in the last 10 years) seems to suggest that current RDI is at least an order of magnitude lower than it should be. I have no medical background, but anecdotally, it has helped my sleep a lot. I'm generally a supplement skeptic, but currently taking 6k IU a day.

Could you ask all the privacy abusers to stop using them to abuse privacy?

Seriously, you should browse the web for a bit and see just how many "client side PWAs" you've used/installed, vs how many tracking identifiers have been installed.
I know this won't be a popular take but I haven't seen any compelling data to indicate what we're dealing with is any more deadly than a cold. No one has any idea how many people have been infected by this virus. It is assuredly many many more than current tests have revealed as the only people being tested are healthcare workers and at-risk individuals. I wouldn't be surprised if over a million people in the U.S. have already had it, possibly many more. That would imply a "massive wave" of people in need of intensive care isn't coming. No more than come about during an ordinary wave of other coronaviruses.
Anatomy of a Distributed Options Market Making System

Exactly. I would appreciate an explanation what makes zig c-like if its syntax is nothing like c? What does "c-like" even mean then?
I think it's likely the exact opposite will happen. People are being thrown into seriously sub-optimal remote working experiences, and their productivity is likely to suffer for it. This will result in companies being less likely to consider remote working a viable path.
You used the term "victim blaming" to shut down conversation. The other stuff, whether or not the courts work, is irrelevant to that.

I think the other people who have responded to your use of the term "victim blaming" state my points as well as I could, so I'll leave it at that.
Type safety for CSS properties. See TypeStyle for instance: https://github.com/typestyle/typestyle
Feedback: I'd like a button that advances the 'start time' to "ASAP" -- I realize you're probably doing some NTP-like time syncing between clients, and "just start right now" maybe won't have everybody synced already, but if all my friends are already in the voice chat / already on the link, there's no need to wait for the appointed time.

edit: alternatively since the URLs are hard to guess, you could have the creator of the watchparty specify a "auto-start ASAP after this many people have joined" number, so once Bob and Carol have joined, it just starts.

Also, youtube ads are going to disrupt the synchronized start, since each person is going to see a different ad (or no ad), but I think you've said elsewhere in the thread that there's no way to get around this without requiring a browser extension.
I dream of a small office with a few people near to my home within cycling distance. If I have to choose between a big office and home I will choose home.
Yep. Just because "PWA"-geek niche at HN wants to go back to shitty UX from 2004 it doesn't mean all tech companies or consumers want to.

I hope Apple keeps restricting this in the future too so that iOS app ecosystem won't turn in to a turkish fruit market full of crap like Android.

Unable to Import User Hashes

this hash should be of the password 'helloWorld1'

When i import it to firebase the password doesn't seem to match and i can't get this hash from any of the online generators i've used.
>I can’t wrap my head around this. Why would any sane person say this out loud, regardless of their opinions?[...]What am I missing?

because, sadly, they know that they will not face any consequences for this in the US.
