Just you and me? That's not going to do much. Organizing action in the scale of the billions is a lot harder than having the idea. I'm not sure if there's any precedent for what's happening now.
So, make 3 apps instead of 1? This was the whole idea behind PWA.
Basically, at this point it is a screening tool for people who don't know how unscientific they are, and will get flustered going up against the process (not the device itself). I'm guessing they're assuming the rate of false positives for lying will be relatively low, such that they will still mostly screen out dishonest people.
There are a few libraries that wrap D3 to bring it to react (recharts, vx, nivo, victory), but my experience is that to program in the "react way", you need to push chart updates through React's state management system, which is slow. If you need a chart to be really responsive, you have to manage the callbacks and dom manipulation yourself, and then you have the dom getting out of sync with React's concept of it, and it's all messy and broken. Haven't found a good fix for this yet.
I doubt that’s true. There are plenty of people who would like to improve their cloud security but find the tooling very inaccessible. Particularly in small teams which the blog says is a target market.

Nintendo and Microsoft have their own custom engines and toolchains for AAA games. Unity gets used for casual titles where teams are smaller, roles are less specialized, and high performance rendering isn't as big of a priority.

We know what it looks likes for active infections we happen to catch with increased testing but there could have already been a peak of active infections and we would currently have no idea if it's behind us or not. We are totally ignorant as to what phase of the epidemic wave we are in.

> But it's no surprise that Apple would want to impose an "install" step on the web

The FUD here is getting out of control. "PWAs", that Google pioneered, are all about having an ‘install step’ to put the "web apps" on your home screen. https://web.dev/customize-install/
> While removing the User-Agent completely was deemed problematic, as many sites still rely on them, Chrome will no longer update the browser version and will only include a unified version of the OS data.

So, nearly all of the information that makes User-Agent strings problematic will remain. They're just phasing out precise version information.
Unfortunately, I think a more significant cause of the continued existence of these diseases is failure to vaccinate, either by choice (anti-vax) or due to circumstance (cost of vaccination, access to health care, etc).

There are several diseases that society could eradicate that we simply choose not to.

Even wealthy tech people are affected by this; I was just told my very good insurance doesn't cover a vaccine that my doctor prescribed. It would cost $400, so I need to weigh my actual risk of getting the disease against cost of vaccination. I'd think the long-term return on investment for society would justify making just about every vaccine free to all.

edit: consider how much easier it is to just get a few shots, compared to never going to a bar, restaurant, sporting event, public transit or shared workspace ever again. Going all-in on social isolation is a nonstarter, even discounting the people who won't comply (there are many) or the toxic political environment that has pitted half the US against science and expertise.

No, they are about safely adding capabilities to the web that native apps have. Home screen icons are only one of those capabilities, and not the most important.
Honestly I'm surprised there aren't more instances of apps like this, it makes sense across a lot of problem spaces. Most users are already happy to trade their data for free stuff, why not make a competive app to get in on that data for LEO purposes? Similarly, having high quality apps produced domestically cuts down on the harvesting abilities of foreign government extensions like Tencent if you can compete across enough spaces. Most users could even stand to benefit since, in this instance, there's an incentive to focus on quality or else no one will swap over. I've got nothing against having my data harvested willingly, at that point it's just another financial instrument to me. The hardcore privacy crowd loses but isolation is the price of absolutism, the movement has had plenty of time to pivot in persuit of the mainstream.

Yes, it certainly is. Did I ever say we shouldn't test? Did I ever argue testing couldn't be improved? Suggest you argue points that were actually put forth instead of using straw men arguments. Re-read the last line of my original post. I'm all in favor of trying to find positive cases.
Ask HN: How would you improve this bash oneliner for deleting tweets?
Many people use tweet deletion services, which periodically remove everything from their Twitter timeline; I wondered if it could be done from a Bash command line.

I wrote up my experiences as an explainer for nontechnical people: https://jamiehall.cc/2020/03/10/delete-all-your-tweets-with-...

TL;DR, here is the oneliner I've been using:

$ twurl "/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=YOUR_TWITTER_HANDLE&count=200
&max_id=$(
twurl '/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=YOUR_TWITTER_HANDLE&count=200&include_rts=1'
| jq -c -r '.[] | .id_str' | head -10 | tail -1)
&include_rts=1"
| jq -c -r '.[] | .id_str'
| parallel -j 10 -a - twurl -X POST /1.1/statuses/destroy/{1}.json
> /dev/null

[Edit: I've put line breaks in there to make it more legible.]

I'm curious if it's possible to do better. In particular: could this be more elegant? Is it possible to do it using common built-ins, instead of twurl and jq?

Any suggestions or improvements would be very welcome!

> If Earth was hit by an meteor two weeks ago

COVID-19 has been a looming problem in the US for over six weeks. I personally stocked up on nonperishables four weeks ago when it was clear that government was doing nothing to attempt to control or even just monitor domestic spread, and the blowup was only a matter of when.

Framing this situation as if it just suddenly occurred is preposterous. It only seems that way to people who were asleep or pushing the agenda to stay asleep, much like how a drunk driver thinks whatever they hit just "came out of nowhere".

Many institutions and influential people are jointly and severally responsible for pushing the narrative of denial and inaction. None of them get absolved simply because other ones were doing the same while wearing different team jerseys. And the ones that continue to stonewall, distract, and disrupt deserve the most blame.
The lockdown of non-essential businesses has essentially reduced traffic accidents here to zero when usually there'd be a over a hundred deaths and few thousand injuries per week. By comparison there's only been 20 deaths from covid-19 over the space of 3 months, nearly all of them elderly people with pre-existing conditions.

Yet people are emotional creatures and not all deaths are equal.
MicroSD is good for phones. Outside of a phone, keep your microSD in an SD adapter case or even a larger tray.
I have a Garmin Fenix 6 Pro and I find it pretty accurate. I set the watch to watch for sleep between 10pm and 8am. Recently with COVID-19 I've been going to bed past 2-4pm. In the morning the first thing I do is check the sleep stats. I find them very accurate. They correctly track my pit stop runs in the middle of the night as well. Today I woke up at 11.43am and the watch got it right. Interestingly after I wake up and lay in bed for a few more minutes, while I'm still in bet, I also start to get bazillion of notification from phone on my watch. I feel very confident about the watch's ability to track the start and the end of sleep right. I cannot tell about the REM time but it seems within the correct ball park.
There were some rough nights where it showed no REM at all. The truth is that I was pretty low energy in those next days and not at my full potential. However, when the watch tells me I had >2h of REM, I'm an energy bomb.

The body battery is another thing that is quite magical in indicating my resources. Two days ago I found myself at 10/100 midday. At 4pm my concentration and deep thinking ability was almost inexistent.

From the engineering perspective I noticed that the SP02 sensors attached to the finger, to the smart watches and other devices tracking pulse, O2 and heart functions they use pretty much the same technology to read the pulse, blood oxygenation levels etc.

There is a lot of software and signal engineering that lays on top of the sensor readings that differs on each manufacturer. To get these settle to accurately predict REM and VO2 and other more advanced activity labelings they do need a lot of data and iterations. Fitbit and the Apple watches went through thousands of data points and they do seem to be miles away now.

So far I found that with each software update the Garmin Fenix is getting a lot better at these predictions. Certainly for all these devices there is a learning curve and we are quite frankly at the beginning of it.
Ok then, don't tell all the other financial institutions I use FreeBSD then, they are all letting me through without issue.

As I said in the original comment, I don't know that I agree with the article. I'm just trying to engage with it logically.

I would imagine tens of millions of deaths might trigger a recession, but it's hard to say.

It seems that throughout history some pandemics have wound up being good for the economy: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22572317

Also, note that the quote "if there’s a recession as bad as the last one, it could be even worse for well-being than tens of millions of deaths" is not saying that there will be tens of millions of deaths. It's instead saying that the hit to well-being, quantified in QALYs, is greater than tens of millions of deaths.
But we know the absolute mortality because people keep dying by the thousands daily and we can measure that.
Not quite.

Freedom of assembly is not about your right to protest, it's origin is more or less your right to assemble and discuss whatever, especially discussing creating a movement to overthrow Dear Leader.

But it definitely extends to 'going to the pub' as well!

This freedom, however, can be constitutionally curtailed if necessary.

So it can get pretty fuzzy.

The issue would be not that problematic if I could just run a real Firefox browser on iOS, not a skin over Safari, which leads me to a question that puzzles me for a long time.

Why Apple is not facing antitrust charges for not allowing competing browsers on their platform? Microsoft didn't SHIP competing browsers, but allowed them to run just fine on windows, and was fined nonetheless, but Apple somehow gets away with not even allowing competing browsers at all!

I'm not from the US, so maybe I'm missing something about these antitrust lawsuits. Can someone please explain?
Sounds OK on the surface but, I mean, just look at this nonsense [1]:

“Multiple App Records. If your app is currently available on multiple platforms through separate app records, please note that app records can’t be merged. To offer universal purchase, remove all but one version from sale and add the other versions to the remaining app’s record. Once an app is removed from sale, its original product page on the App Store becomes unavailable and you are no longer able to provide updates to existing users. Ratings and reviews are not transferred to the new product page.”

[1] https://developer.apple.com/support/universal-purchase/

It’s really disappointing how the App Store continues to be a customer-unfriendly wasteland, where Apple’s decisions always manage to cause all customer ire to be directed toward developers (who didn’t cause the problem and often have no solution), instead of Apple (who is responsible and does nothing).

What are the most likely fallouts of the decision above?

1. Suppose a developer does convert old paid Mac apps to a new ID. Now, years of loyal, PAYING customers are arbitrarily cut off from all new updates without any good way to transition them. Any accumulated reviews are lost, which will greatly harm potential sales. Result: Angry customers; developer is blamed (resulting in piles of lousy new reviews, with the added insult that all old reviews are no longer there to offset the average rating). And of course, Apple isn’t blamed.

2. Suppose a developer does NOT convert old apps, maintaining two unlinked versions. Suddenly the Mac version feels “expensive” compared to any apps with one purchase for all (which will probably be forced to offer absurdly low prices). Customers who bought one platform and not the other feel insulted for being asked to still pay for both, at any price. Result: Angry customers; developer is blamed, Apple isn’t blamed.
I would argue that in normal conditions, the government tracking your phone is absolutely a problem, constitutionally, and that you absolutely have a 'right not to be tracked'.

The issue is the coronavirus which adds another dimension of 'public good'.
At the time of writing, the first sentence of https://www.apple.com/privacy/ states:

> Is his opinion "allowed" to sour (publicly) until he is a Tenured professor?

I don't think getting a negative opinion of the status quo would help. If an assistant professor is not vocal about their opinions then the tenure committee might not notice or care.

But don't get the impression that tenure provides much protection for unorthodox views. If the higher ups want to get rid of you, they'll find a way. They might not be able to outright fire you but they could (for example) increase your workload to the point where staying as a professor is untenable.

And note that the tenure process itself filters out people who would challenge the status quo. It's a protection that tends to go unused.

I'm not following your analogy with religion. If you mean that to advance requires unquestioning belief then I would largely agree.

No real problem that happened this week. Business had precipitous revenue decrease. Could get better, could not. Had to cut employees. Do you cut 35% or 40% of corporate?

Do you cut more just to hedge the economy won't recover? I appreciate the philosophy 101 lesson but your premise is completely not true. If you cut the Sr. Manager of XYZ and hire another one 120 days later...you probably didn't need to cut the one you did.

The age old question: does a benchmark that runs for 20 minutes before throttling really represent any real world gains or lack thereof? For example I want a few images/videos to compress quickly before I share them with someone, but I will pretty much never need my phone to chew through gigabytes of data all at the same time. I want a webpage to load within a few seconds but I don’t constantly refresh webpages every 5s for 30mins straight.

It's a fake out wait for the pull back. Maybe tomorrow when they announce the jobs number. Today the DOW fell by 800 points to close. Most the major stocks were hitting strong resistances and failed. This looks like a pull back to me. I was short on $DIS and getting hammered but it still looks like that may pay for Apr 17.

Let's see how Friday closes. We need to close above resistance levels for key stocks/indexes.
I have a Forerunner 45 - concur on the body battery metric, not so much on sleep. It often interprets me lying in bed as "sleeping" and recalculates my sleep time through the morning - I can wake up and see that I slept 7 hours then on my next sync with Connect later in the morning, it says 9 hours 49 minutes.
When the market makes no sense by keeping non-economic entities that pretend to be companies - you "have to" make no sense along with it. It's the ages old false dichotomy between "growth" and "value". As if growth companies didn't have stable cash flows (they do!).
From reading the article the main point was that https:// doesn't mean it's the official page you're looking for, which is true. Just that the communication between you and whatever page it is, is secure.

The argument is that it still may be a phishing attempt even if it does have both https:// and .gov.

But of course we're relying heavily on the article around acquiring a .gov domain being correct.
