What do you dislike about the interface? How can I improve it?
Thanks for your help.
Does this require everyone to have an account for the paid services (Netflix for now)? Does this require anyone to have an account for the paid services if you happen to be able to get your hands on a Netflix URL?
Have you investigated what it'd take to addd Hulu support? I find majority of my shows are split between Netflix and Hulu.
If the company dies, everyone is out of work. That's not an improvement.

I posted an article earlier today about expanded unemployment benefits in the US. It's not a founder's job to provide a nanny state (so to speak).
It's the job of government to look out for the people in that way.

What is a "PWA?"

Would be good to include in the title.
It doesn't require nearly as much storage as you think. For zig, there's only 3 standard libraries (glibc, musl, mingw) and 7 unique architectures (ARM, x86, MIPS, PowerPC, SPARC, RISC-V, WASM). LLVM can support all of these with a pretty small footprint and since the standard libraries can be recompiled by Zig, it really only needs to ship source code - no binaries necessary.
Stupidity. user-agent spoofing is a fact of life for many projects. Whatever feature they're going to come out with to replace UA will be spoofable too soon enough.
Same here. We discovered that we have a park 5min walk from home so we go there every day to play tennis and badminton.
I’ve tried to use d3 without importing d3-selection (in Vue) but I still need it for d3-axis. Would it be possible to make d3-axis more DOM-agnostic?

gitlab-ce is an apt install/upgrade and works like a charm.

I have a dual-core duo box running about 6 containers, including gitlab, and nginx as a reverse proxy.

I use letsencrypt for ssl, basic auth and duckdns to point cnames to my dhcp DSL.

I've been running my dev environment like this for several years. Works great.
Threejs has very little tooling, but it is a pleasure to work with if your project is simple. Babylonjs also looked promising

Finally, old versions of unity had some js support. You could maybe track down one of them, but the support was removed eventually
I may not have enough space. I maxed it all out & it just keeps saying about the needing to collect enough.

How do you handle browsers that render HTML differently?
Ask HN: What are some products with the best documentation?
I would be very surprised that the average number of steps across their userbase has uniformly decreased for all users.

For example we could imagine the scenario where some people were able to keep their habit and did not have a great decrease in step numbers, while some other sub-groups have become sedentary because of the confinement. This would show up as an increase in variance in the number of steps.

Stats are hard and it is very easy to draw a wrong conclusion (that sound right) from aggregated data.
Doesn't this make it worse because you can just make another GAN or something that undoes this?
California sees one million unemployment claims in less than two weeks
I prefer to keep it simple. I add references in my .bib database via Zotero, then I version control the .bib file (exported from Zotero). And then I add .md files with notes, and the .md files are named according to the citation key in the .bib file. Then I version control those .md files. Advantage is that notes are all in the same format and place, regardless of what reference type (e.g. pdf, webpage, could even cite a video), and they are all very easily searchable, including through time (via version control).

EDIT: I keep a separate folder on my Dropbox (so not version controlled) of the actual resources, such as .pdf files. Again named according to the citation key in the .bib file.
It’s always been impossible to rely on local storage for long-term use.

Users clear their caches. They swap browsers. They swap machines. They use their phone instead of their desktop. They use private mode, or sand boxing. They re-install their OS. They buy a new machine.

Don’t be lazy. Using local storage without a backup is not acceptable.

And what kind of ‘progressive’ web app expects all the features in every client? Have we forgotten what progressive means?

Don’t be entitled. You are not more important than your users.
In the 2008 recession US GDP went down by only about 3%. During the Great Depression it went down 10%.

Will Betteridge's law of headlines finally be wrong?

no.

So is WideVine.
Unfortunately I've found it rather buggy (on linux) in the past. It really could be a super nice tool, if they traded some features for more stability, in my opinion.
No worries, I was just trying to figure out what this was all about.. I'll load it up on another device
According to the Governor: “We just passed the one million mark, in terms of the number of claims, just since March 13,” Newsom said.
I think the government has failed to prepare everyone, almost misleading us with lack of worry or urgency over the last many weeks. We obviously could have begun some actions months ago (I started acting on the 10th February, Taiwan started acting strongly on 31st Dec). Many people and businesses have been caught out badly in NZ.

However, I have some trust that our government has been actively measuring the signals needed to know when to shutdown, and I am now really happy to see action.

I have seen many people I would expect to be smarter downplay this (Ioannidis, Musk, etc), and the failure of most western countries to act, so I don’t have too many hard feelings about what we could have done better...

NZ has a lot to learn from Taiwan, Vietnam, South Korea, Japan, and other countries that prepared properly and haven’t had to shut down their economies.
I love this. I still speak fondly of the early days of netlfix, when it first got into streaming on the 360. You could invite an xbox live party to watch movies on Netflix. It had a border you could enable that made it look like a theatre screen with seats, with your live avatars sitting in them, a la Mystery Science Theatre.

There was nothing quite like being in a chat party watching movies together. You could talk as loudly as you wanted while doing/eating what you wanted. Blew the actual theatre out of the water.

Really amazing experience that was killed off way too soon (greed, Netflix didn't want non subscribers to watch free).

Hopefully this is a road back there, definitely going to spread this around and show some $love

I think I may have missed some stuff on the servers before I absorbed them. I'm going to restart & see if I missed anything.

EDIT: Oh I got somethign new... Some research on the time spike. So maybe I did something right. Ah yes I got it!! Glad I didn't restart lol
This is about physical activity, not economic as I first assumed.

It's also pretty much an advert "Try a free 90-day trial of Fitbit Premium"

Also there may be an issue of privacy WRT your personal data, even if this is aggregated and anonymised for this particular article.
It's beyond confusing. It's meaningless, and even grammatically nonsensical.
That's the same era as the "year of the Linux" desktop. I keep hearing "PWAs will win" for ten years now. Some people just want to use ill-fitted web tech everywhere, because that's all they know.
“I think it would be a beautiful time and it's just about the timeline that I think is right”

This is a very good write up. I've set up countless git servers in the day and have never really had the need for a UI, but I am intrigued by the description of gitweb.

On that note however, I would encourage anyone with a passing interest in an scm gui to check out fossil-scm. I'm helping a colleague with a project and that's what he is using. Really incredible piece of software with a lot of possibilities.

Changing the title of this article did it a disservice, as its no longer clear that this was a research paper arguing the importance of studying bat-origin coronaviruses in China from January 2019, well before SARS-CoV-2 made its appearance. The paper also covers a theory of why bats can be long-term carriers of coronaviruses without showing symptoms of disease:

"It is hypothesized that flight provided the selection pressure for coexistence with viruses, while the migratory ability of bats has particular relevance in the context of disease transmission [16]. Indeed, bats were linked to a few highly pathogenic human diseases, supporting this hypothesis. Some of these well characterized bat viruses, including bat lyssaviruses (Rabies virus), henipaviruses (Nipah virus and Hendra virus), CoVs (SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SADS-CoV), and filoviruses (Marburg virus, Ebola virus, and Mengla virus), pose a great threat to human health [16,17]. A comprehensive analysis of mammalian host–virus relationships demonstrated that bats harbor a significantly higher proportion of zoonotic viruses than other mammalian orders [18]. Viruses from most of the viral families can be found in bats [16]."
To add one more possible partial explanation to the list:

Back when I wore a fitness tracker, I typically didn't bother to put it on when I was staying home, including work from home days. It stays on the dresser next to my wallet, which doesn't get put in my pocket when I'm staying home.

I am going for long walks several times a day, in order to ensure I'm getting my exercise. I'm just not bothering to bring anything other than my house keys and maybe my cell phone when I do it.
While that's true, very few successful products are Hitler puns.
Hi Dan,

I hope you and your family are staying healthy. I am reaching out on behalf of LogN (https://www.logn.co/) as I saw on News.YC that your company is looking for software engineers.
We provide contract engineers in Central America (timezone: PST+1, EST-2). Three of our engineers are available to start a new engagement as soon as April 1st. They just rolled off of another long term project for a company that is funded by Benchmark Capital. Here are their resumes. (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1A4nHUDWcHr9F4fVxYC0b...)
They have also worked with several US-based startups and big enterprises. Please let us know if any of them is a good fit for your needs and we can help schedule a zoom interview with them.
You can find more information about our services here. (https://www.dropbox.com/s/pu7f2o3x2yvi8vn/LogN-Services.pdf?...)

Oof that seems really surprising, you should have enough space if you get through all of that, I am really surprised. I am going to check and see if theres any way to get a host without getting the disk.
Yes. Everyone involved need an account and needs to be logged in as well.

It works by basically redirecting to the streaming website.
For those curious about the hype behind figma, here are the reasons why teams are moving to it:

1. No versioning needed. For designers versioning has been a huge pain, some git like tools have popped up but with Figma none is needed. Changes made by multiple parties are always in sync since they are made live in the same doc. Plus always on versioning.

2. All in one tool. Currently designers use sketch(create designs), Invision (prototype and get feedback, and Zeplin (hand off to dev). Thats 3 different places to manage, no source of truth. With Figma its all in one package.

3. Cheap. Free for teams of 2 designers, viewers are always free. You done need to pay for the above tools I mentioned.

4. Strong foundation for plugins and community. They way the figma team have built the product allows for rich plugins and community.

> I'd say that they are very interested in the very large part of the public who voted for them.

You may be interested in the research of Page and Gilens, which shows the opposite is true.
That was very fun! Thank you!
In normal times we have the bankruptcy courts to facilitate an orderly wind down and prevent fire sales. Its called the automatic stay, it prevents creditors from taking any action against a company in the zone of insolvency to seize assets, restrict credit or in any way gain a first mover advantage. In a crisis of the current scale, the normal system can not handle the volume of bankruptcies.

I would be ok with the government buying companies to preserve value but most American leaders are morally opposed to this type of intervention so it is basically impossible to do what you're suggesting.

Finite implies algebraic. The other comment says that the converse isn't true.
Yes that is indeed happening, trying to get some adhoc metrics. Prob creating an error message somehow. Thanks I really should not return those :D
Having done a few aquisitions (on both sides of the transaction) over the years it's really easy to dictate terms when the company being bought lacks room to maneuver.
Ok I think I'll have to rephrase the question: are there many widely used PWAs that actually go one step further than being a web app using a few of these APIs (spotify, twitter), and actually try to "mimic" desktop apps more (installation, icons, fully offline etc)?
Not yet as Hulu is not supported in germany (my home country). Will digg into it in the next few hours.

Would anyone be willing to share their hulu account with me so I can test it? bingehulu@simon-frey.com
Has to come from somewhere. A pwa might have to come via http (I'm not sure) - but html+js+css can come from the (from a) filesystem too. Like an USB-c memory stick.

Or from an extracted archive (much like a native app).
Building Confluent Cloud – Here’s What We Learned
It is certainly a plan to further relegate PWAs because they directly challenge the monetization strategy of apple. Its an area where their interests do not align with user interests. A "properly written" PWA may offer things like not re-fetching data from the internet when you already have it locally, and / or not forcing you to create an account just to save some basic data (ex: A recipe app, a jobs search app, etc). Consider for example, saving a job search website as an app, and being able to search and save jobs without having to make an account. An account could be offered if you want cross device syncing, but is not required just to save jobs. Which is great because some users prefer to remain anonymous, and PWA's open the door to that type of thing (as a singular example).

This move is _an_ example of Apple's (understandable) hostility towards PWA's, but you must understand the context here: There is a threshold beyond which PWA's become a generally acceptable strategy, and the quality and diversity rise over time. Apple is preventing that with this move (and others). That's why people are upset. Moreover, the outcome of this will be more "native" apps that are actually just wrappers around web apps, that exist purely because some basic functionality is being actively blocked by Apple.
I do not understand why anyone would want to store anything other than temporary/disposable data inside their browser.
Partisan polarization is primary motivation of “fake news” sharing on Twitter
It reminds me a lot of A Dark Room.
If Unreal or Cryengine took the effort to create better learning resources like Unity does, they would grow dramatically. To find the name of a function I need in the c++ is a research project involving a dive through years of old forum posts.
Access and analyze trusted Covid-19 (Coronavirus) global data
Cedric Beust said on an episode of "Talking Kotlin" awhile back that he thought the Achilles' Heel for the WebAssembly cross platform story would be Apple moving to lock down their devices.
I would consider different name for "tree". It ain't obvious to me if it is tree graph for my git tree or tree of catalogue in source.
Not sure, I evaluated it years ago. Thinking about it more, the main 'tooling' I remember using was that it had good support for Tiled maps.

Stack is quite simple:
Frontend: Bulma.css, Vanilla Javascript, HTML
Backend: PHP, MariaDB

It works by redirecting in the right moment to the streaming sites, via a JavaScript redirect.

The voice chat is done via https://meet.jit.si/

To handle potential big load, I force cloudflare to cache all sites under url /p/* thereby after the creation of the watch party, no request hits my server anymore :D
This is OK...I guess? I mean it's great to get rid of that overloaded carbuncle of user-agent, but that will just lead to a new round of interpreting "hints". shrug

Google is a serial abuser of user-agent already so this is somewhat ironic.
Concourse CI 6.0 relased with updated roadmap
For macronutrients and android there is waistline¹(available on fdroid and google app stores). It's pretty much what you asked for, open source and it uses OpenFoodFacts. It's more focused than myfitnesspal, but very usable and I think eating habits are too intimate to share with a company. Plus with myfitnesspal I feel like I'm working for the company when I add products to the database, not so with OpenFoodFacts.

I had both generations of Oura. It was good for duration and temp, very bad for stages or if I was awake I middle of night. I have had much better results w Dreem headband. It uses eeg and some other sensors. It’s more expensive though. (25 off YBVYPYSYY). It also has a sound it plays during deep sleep to help extend it. I haven’t experimented with it yet to verify that it makes a difference.
Right. I remember using a 3rd party tool to create the maps.
That's a fair point, and there are a number of situation dependent factors. I wrote this letter to myself because I know what I would do differently 12 years ago and I have the benefit of hindsight now. Obviously the crisis is different today, we didn't have a pandemic in 2008, there is definitely no one-size-fits-all advice, and every company needs to be figuring out the right thing to do right now. But keep in mind what ended up happening 12 years ago is that everyone lost their jobs. The letter is my thoughts about what could have prevented that outcome back then, at least partly.
Love that one. Bing without e is fixed. Miss-typed it once and than copy pasted it too often.
Show HN: Educatopia – A platform for teachers and students to share exercises
I actually have an old phone that I used as a remote-control for my home-threater PC. No connectivity needed, but the phone did everything I needed. Move the mouse, act as a keyboard, and mostly raise volume / change channel.

Phones are computers. Even if you remote all connectivity to the outside world, they still function as well as any PC from the early 90s (or earlier). A huge amount of compute power, tons of storage, etc. etc.
Groupon Replaces Top Executives After Turnaround Plan Falters
Real-time H1B wage information not available anymore
Previously, you could use the iCERT or OFLC systems [1] to search for labor condition applications and PERM (green card) filings. You could search by state, employer, job title etc..

This was very useful to know which companies are filing for H1Bs, green cards and what annual base salaries are being offered. Many other websites aggregated this data and provided more search capabilities. [2]

Looks like they've moved to a new FLAG system [3] which is behind a login now, and you can't search other LCAs being filed. It appears data disclosure is now annual as opposed to real-time (or daily, I don't know).

Same issue on android, there needs to be a search function like there is in the windows control panel because there's so many categories and I'm never quite sure which category something is going to be in.
Add yourself to the https://hackerone.com/directory/programs, that's free afaik. You won't get the 'managed' badge. And have a bug-bounty page on your website. There are specialized search engines looking for those. Add a https://securitytxt.org/ if you haven't already.

I know a startup listed there and they get regularly approached by security researchers. Some only run generic test suites, e.g. port scans, if signing up with unicode usernames causes errors, cross-side scripting, but it will still be valuable. And a cross-side scripting bug has bounties of 100 USD or less.

Via a recent Show HN submission I got a security scan by https://www.cybersenshi.com/ which I think was comprehensive.
Nudging people to do the right thing works

I got lucky, only broken button on my pixel 2 is volume up. probably the least important of the three :)
Fun, but seem to have gotten myself stuck. 4 cores, 100% network scanned. All the research I can do is done. But the remaining hosts can't be absorbed: n0v4, Eris, Juno, Solar, EONS, Luna, Cypher. No Force Absorb, Ping Spike or Install Exploit on any of them. I think I absorbed one before mounting the disk or something?
But Rust! Lol
Same. I avoided opening it for the longest time and tried to upload it on another host before I absorbed it thinking that I could always nuke it and then absorb it.
