I'm surprised Reddit hasn't gone the way of Google/YouTube and allowed a safe browsing filter via DNS. All NSFW subreddits are already marked as such (same with many individual posts) so it seems like it would be an easy filter to add if accessed via the "safe browsing" load balancer IP.

ECMAScript proposal for the Record and Tuple value types
Wow - not only is this completely false, but it's also definitely not an idea that has popular consensus.

It's easily proven:

Singapore, South Korea - considerably 'more authoritarian' have successfully contained Coronavirus.

America, UK, France - being devastated by Coronavirus.

The intellectual arrogance is staggering.

Literally, right in front of your eyes, you can see the central leadership of these places on full display - early, coordinated action, somewhat less concern for rights (S. Korean authorities using CCTV, GPS to track behaviour to find who you might have infected etc.), a fairly communitarian attitude by participants, and they've corralled and in a way somewhat effectively isolated coronavirus. They already wear masks on subways - an example of their collective, conscientious behaviour. The outcome - is that they have vastly lower rates of infection and death and a functional economy.

Meanwhile, in the US, we have a lack of coordination, name-calling and arguing on the news, inability to marshall privatized resources, and we're about to face mass death.

It's definitely a striking example of how the systems are performing very differently.

Hi, I'm Paul, I'm a software engineer. My latest project is an IoT home automation system and dashboard in React that ties together a lot of microcontroller projects I built. I've previously designed high quality pro audio equipment and developed software in the structural engineering industry.
I'm one of the core contributors for OBS. Our website traffic has more than doubled over the last couple of weeks due to the COVID-19 situation - when we released the v25 update we accidentally killed our site due to a cache stampede after purging the CDN (oops).

We're seeing all kinds of new uses, especially users who are integrating the OBS Virtualcam plugin to do presentations and other content sharing with apps that only support webcam input.
How to SSH Properly
> It's still surprising to me that so very few languages have copied this feature (or even independently discovered it).

I have often wondered why this is. It seems like Lisps did so many things right and here we are in These Modern Times waiting for people to rediscover "the secret is to bang the rocks together, guys".

Are these features just hard to implement in some platforms/languages? Why? Have they been de-prioritized generally until the zeitgeist decides otherwise?

I worry about working from home becoming a sort of class divide / opportunity thing. The COVID situation sort of made me think about this more.

I have a sizable house and space to work from home. I already have a nice desk and it is well equipped with monitors and etc.

For me being at home is not terrible.

For someone with a one bedroom apartment, the experience is probabbly dramatically different.

I met someone recently and despite working for years at a place where she was able to work from home. She didn't. She had a 1 bedroom apartment with her boyfriend and working on the little kitchen table was really not fun / hard.

She was really excited to work from home for the first time since they had bought a new house.

I wonder if those differences might play out as far as opportunity for people who don't have good resources at home.
I think zero days are irresponsible in the best of times but releasing something like this when their devs are probably all busy just keeping their much-needed service running in times of a global crisis just seems insane.
You would hash it on the server because you don't want to turn the 'hash' into a plain-text password.

But instead of the server accepting an arbitrary string, it only accepts hexadecimal or base64 strings of a specific length. Which solves the problem.

Reason for negative Joule-Thompson coefficient
Remote work changes the economics of productivity.

In an office, you're there for ~8 hours per day. You might as well produce as much value for the company as possible since there isn't much else you can do there.

Remotely, there is reason to think about how much effort you're exerting & if the resulting productivity is worth it. Do you want to get a promotion? Do you want to scrape by? Do you want job security? In an office, it's clear which of these paths to go down. But when you're remote, all of a sudden you are able to exercise the trade-off between spending time to produce more for your employer vs using that time for things that benefit you and you only. And it's very possible to produce well above the bar of employability and have more free time for friends, family, entrepreneurship, etc than you could get when you're forced to spend 8 hours on your employer's property.

FDG is glucose with a F for O substitution. Fluorine radioisotope in it decays into oxygen, converting FDG to sugar.

I don't have the hubris to suggest anything.
I think one major challenge right now is that nobody can get masks and gloves. Frontline health workers can barely (if even that) manage with the supply at hand. I think this is the major reason for 'flattening the curve', i.e. to make sure our supply chain ramps up to provide necessities like masks, gloves, ventilators, disinfectants etc.

In a hypothetical world where there are no shortages of these items (+ publically and easily available test kits), the economy wouldn't need to have halted to a near stop, and we could weather the pandemic much easier. Hopefully, we can learn from this.
does it also show that authoritarianism predicts parasite prevalence?
Whole history of the Soviet Union is a living proof that theory of hierarchy of needs is bs.
apparently the issue is that you could modify the script, keeping the script-launching binary unchanged and signed?

It's software that's taking over the world by the storm, suddenly used by countless companies, governments, hospitals, schools, etc.

They need scrutiny, especially given that their security record is subpar. Bad actors aren't self-isolating themselves from internet during pandemic.

If I were a bad actor, I'd totally go after Zoom as an attack vector, given its sudden adoption, without proper security reviews by organizations.

Pioneer | REMOTE/ONSITE | Competent Coworker | https://pioneer.app
Founder of Pioneer here.

We're building a fully remote online accelerator. A kind of YC-before-YC. We find people on the Internet that seem promising and give them "Silicon Valley", but on the Internet. It's a lot of gamification, Ruby software, Zoom, Slack, and fun. We've funded over 100 people around the world in 30+ countries. We direct them to YC once they graduate. (Tbc, we have no formal attachment to YC; just admiration. And a severe addiction to HN.)

We're looking for a competent software engineer that can do front and backend development. We're happy to take a bet on someone junior or senior. The interview process is much like the job: get a high level prompt, and then make a thing. That's it. Don't apply if you're looking to optimize tight C++ loops, we don't have that. Apply if you're interested in building products, end-to-end. Apply if you're energetic and excited about the idea. Apply if you can see this gig be a legitimate cornerstone of your career.

There's no formal ATS, it's a startup. Just email team@pioneer.app, mention this post.
Based on the idea of statecharts, we generate a C library that implements a particular complex network protocol: https://github.com/libguestfs/libnbd/tree/master/generator All the files called state* are involved, but the hierarchical state machine is described in this one: https://github.com/libguestfs/libnbd/blob/master/generator/s...
To me, what's interesting is that parasites cause complex interactions in animals. There's a parasite that apparently cures adult onset asthma, e.g.

So I think that while the theory would be hard to prove, the power of parasites causing complex physiological changes should not be ignored.
How? Both Python and Node have some https client in their standard libraries, and both have headless Chrome drivers (what this script uses) in easily installed third-party libraries.

Is there a cryptographic hash algorithm that doesn't? It seems like that would make it non-cryptographic (since you will need to read each byte at least once).

The article: "Data proves it: Remote work boosts productivity." "This groundbreaking study, involving 16,000 participants, was conducted by Stanford professor Nicholas Bloom"

Of course different people work better in different modes. But since there's no reason to believe that we are uniformly distributed through those modes, one mode could be net more productive by objective absolute measures even if lots of people are in a suboptimal mode.

Wuhan Virus Research Is Hiring Postdoc to Research in Bats Immunity (2019)
My guess would be that the hyperparameters of neurons are somewhat already trained by evolution of the species the neurons come from. I assume that neurons are defined by their genetic and environment. Then if one reconstructs the environment in which neurons normally dwell, then everything is set for this neuron to perform as it should be.

But on the other hand, one could interpret the environment variables as the hyperparameters. If you overheat the chips, it is possible the neurons might act differently (as would a brain?) If you overfeed them with, say, creatine, it might be possible that the neurons will perform erratically.

Sketch – The Digital Design Toolkit
I took a class in photography a few years back, the history was discussed. I remember seeing the first picture ever containing people and it was was very fuzzy, the people were not as clearly people, as they are now in this photo (referring to picture 1 on this page http://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2015/08/the-gift-of-the-dag...)
This is junk. Possibly even a case study exemplar of spurious correlations. Take a small set of units (high false positive rate, inter alia). Take some vaguely relevant sounding metrics (entry point for p-hacking). Does a bunch of regressions.

Here's the next paper from the group:

Distance from equator is predictive of authoritarianism. The more constant daily cycle causes a yearning for rigid routines, predisposing populations to authoritarian rule.

If you think I'm merely taking the piss, is it more or less plausible than the proposed causal mechanism here:

"Because many disease-causing parasites are invisible, and their actions mysterious, disease control has historically depended substantially on adherence to ritualized behavioral practices that reduced infection risk [9]."

Or maybe it's because we've already seen the data our whole lives, know which countries are authoritarian and can select any variable which separates democracies from authoritarian countries and bang, you've got p < 0.05.
So the tweet is mistaken? How do you know this?
Ah ok! Actually I mostly agree with you about those comments. They lead to predictably worse discussion. However, they're in a different category than the more egregious kind that we post moderation responses to.
This is such an outrageous thing to say. Do yourself a favour and go read the paper:

https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial-college/medicine/s...

Researchers go and model data, making every caveat imaginable along the way, and then predict outcomes based on possible actions taken, and your response is to label them as spreading "bad" and "dangerous" information. You're literally condemning them for doing the science at all. You're inadvertently screaming at models...

If I was a hacker, I would be looking real closely at Zoom since everyone is using it right now.

You are the first person I've seen to know enough about the OSX APIs to know that it is real. I went back to look at the twitter thread and only saw (certainly could've overlooked) one person who was saying that it is real.

Thanks for clearing that up, though I must say they (Zoom) bring this upon themselves by having such a poorly worded dialog.
You are correct. I was a bit too general. I said “most signaling”, not all, but that probably goes too far. I clarified in another comment that I specifically dislike disingenuous signaling, as well as excessive effort spent on signaling alone rather than whatever substantive thing it is you’re trying to advertise.

I regret my original wording. I think I should have jumped directly to my main question about whether or not people are as unaware of signaling as the article suggests.
Good point - that would be awesome.

It's a good thing there is no history before the coronavirus. Not to mention, the most authoritarian large country, China, is responsible for this whole thing.
As you may know, there is an app called Bright Sky which offers help to victims of abuse but that can be disguised as a weather app. From the reviews I’m not sure they have fully solved the ‘duplicitous’ aspect (it is available under Education). However something of this nature is very important so I wish all the devs. luck.
As one further point, there must be people trapped in an abusive relationship who aren’t aware; i.e. that they have been manipulated into believing it is their fault and that nothing bad is being done to them. (I know there are such people from experience).
I don’t feel I have said anything particularly useful but I thought it might set someone thinking.

Bonus: A black man walked down a street in the Bronx on Wednesday and was shot by an off-duty police officer. The man, identified as John Crawford, of East New York, Brooklyn

Wrong location, but John Crawford is a real black person, shot by police. If i just prompt "a black man", they keep being killed, and i keep getting real names.

This includes much more information and so is less shallow, and therefore much a much better post than upthread. There's an interesting phenomenon where people often reply to moderation comments with a post that says what they meant in the first place.

The personal aspect is arguably still a problem. But it's also true that critiquing celebrities isn't the same thing as garden-variety personal attack, since they represent more than just themselves individually, and you make it clear that the intention isn't personal.

There's at least one revision a comment like this could go through to get better: a little more information about what the specific ideas are. For example, which insights are already conventional wisdom? Readers who are not steeped in the field could learn something from that.
From what I remember, MRI doesn't exist without some fairly sophisticated signal processing. The teaser seems to be suggesting they're doing signal processing on Xrays instead of just exposing photography plates (or do they even do that anymore? Are they digital like cameras?)

Many many years ago I recall a project that looked at the tissue all around a tumor, and mapped the refraction from many different angles. They took that information and worked backward to find the exact angles to send radiotherapy beams so that they would cross inside the tumor, reducing side effects. I wonder if any of the principles are the same here.
