I've been interested in the Tcl language since 2010 or so but have only written small scripts up to this point in time. I decided it was finally time to dive in so I've been working my way through "The Tcl Programming Language: A Comprehensive Guide" by Ashok P. Nadkarni as well as learning about the Naviserver ecosystem.
A modern alternative would be Tumult Hype: it off and lets you write your own JS for advanced scripting. Exports to HTML, GIF and MP4 and has a one-time fee, no monthly subscription BS.

Off topic: Wow, the layout of that webpage makes me sad. I have a 27" Full HD display, and holding a piece of A4 paper against the screen, each step takes up about the area of said A4 paper.
Have you tried journaling? It lets you get ideas out (adding or remixing ideas from the previous days), without investing in getting a project up, writing code, etc. A lot of times, for me, I just want to explore an idea and I'm not actually interested in working through it. But if I spend enough days journaling an idea and I'm still interested in it, then I go for it.

The other thing that's helped me is realizing that anything worthwhile is hard. If you want to stick with a project until it's done, you're going to get bored, you're going to run into roadblocks, and you want to cultivate a sense of "this is what I want to do, and that is just a temporary issue that I will work through".

Last thing that's helped me is finding a support group. I use irc, specifically I hang out on irc.darwin.network (shameless plug, I kinda co-run it), there I can chat with people about what I'm working on, they can ask cool questions, etc, keeps the juices flowing and reminds me why a project is worth sticking to.
Always have a 3 second delay? Paypal does something like that, even on success.
What? If there's a company IRC server, and I'm using to encrypt messages locally, send them through the server, and then my friend decrypts them locally, where does the admin get access?

Right that's exactly my point, you're critiquing bitcoin as an alternative to the "economy" part, but that's not something it has ever claimed to be. It's an alternative for the "currency" part.

AFAIK, resetting an individual GSuite account's password is the only way GSuite Admin can access individual account's emails. Is there any other way to get access?
Two things have helped me with that:

* I started blogging about my projects. And I try to keep a pace of roughly 1 blog post every 2 months.
* I have a mix of on-going long term and short term projects.

(I've also submitted talk proposal for long term project for a conference even though I had barely started that project. It got accepted. The fear of a public failure was very motivating! I don't recommend it.)

Forcing myself to write something every 2 months automatically results in the need to do some short term stuff as well. 2 months ago I made simple how-to video about how to solder with enamel magnet wire and all the tools in my home electronics lab.

This weekend, I spend hours on disassembling, photographing, and measuring the signals in a smoke detector with an expired battery. (Writeup WIP.)

These are all things that only take a day or two to complete.

Meanwhile, I have a project ongoing to convert an FPGA-based thin client into a retrogaming machine. I work on it on and off. Sometimes it's idle for months, and then I pick it up again for a few days. I don't know if I'll ever complete this project, but it's all hobby stuff anyway, so there's no pressure.

It raises a few interesting questions. Shall we give employees more privacy rights within the organization?
They are doing exactly that already, partnered with an established company with proven design to help them ramp up production by manufacturing some hard-to-come-by parts.

And then Musk decided to burn some money on top of that, trying to find a way to produce even more machines from existing parts and/or parts that he can get more easily. And people give him shit for that? Seriously?

Has their effort to produce a ventilator like that a high chance of failure? Sure. But maybe their hail marry will succeed and save lives after all. And if they fail, at least they will have tried.

The only actual problem here would be if they produced a worse-than-useless machine that kills people but is put into use anyway. This hasn't happened yet, tho, but people right now are attacking this strawman viciously anyway.

> I know first hand what it’s like to be a small business owner. As a woman it can be lonely and scary, especially during a time like this.

Your sex does not matter during a time like this. Unless you are suffering from domestic violence, it is less scary to be a woman right now, since you are less affected by COVID-19 than men are.

Anyway, everybody should be able to help whoever he or she wants to help, and it is nice that she seemingly does so without strings attached.

AFAIK the legality of it is not consistent.

I had an employer who insisted that after I leave, every email I receive to my corporate address be forwarded to him. I remember asking a lawyer how legal this is and not receiving a conclusive answer. (Still interested in an answer for CA+NY if someone knows)
I took a look at the code, and read the paper. It seems that they directly calculate the entire 2D DP array, but use SIMD to allow each cell to contain multiple values, one for each query string. My approach uses anti-diagonals instead, but it is fast for one vs one comparisons, instead of handling multiple query strings.

Regardless, my goal was to learn some SIMD and Rust (first time for both), so I did not read many background papers.
I appreciate it, will look up that book
Security guy working in fintech: this is true of many industries that need to adhere to regulation or compliance, including:

1. Finance

2. Medicine

3. Aeronautics

There are likely more I'm personally unaware of. In finance, which I'm most familiar with, lenders (sometimes banks, but can be things like credit unions, marketplace lenders, or investors) have a laundry list of regulations they need to meet in order to business in the US. Many of these regulations explicitly require that the lender produce any and all communications between the lender and borrower on-demand--and for good reason.

There's a long history of bad actors in finance lying or misrepresenting things in official communications (fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, etc). If you work for any finance company, you had better expect that everything you do on your corp accounts/devices will be logged, audited, and periodically reviewed.

That said, the only time I've heard of an employees' email being pulled out of an archive and read were due to concerns around IP theft or questionable behavior between said employee and business clients.
Hackernews worthy:

- Applies to small businesses

So, yes, if we are a community of small businesses that might be eligible to apply or if we might know a company that is eligible to apply, then I'd say it's definitely hacker news worthy.

You're looking at it as cynically touting the amount as opposed to the perspective that it may be a small business's next week's funding.
With the Vault I can pretty much see and do anything. I can set up hidden forwards and even look at private Hangouts chats between people. I've had to use the Vault before to go into a 1 on 1 Hangouts Chat and delete a message from one of the parties.
Love this! There were so many many times I wished I said No but I didn't know how to do it. The amount of pain and time wasted that came after were hundreds of hours. I'd imagine if I billed people for those hours, it would have been terribly expensive. Having templates like these would make it way easier for me to say No and avoid all of that now. Thanks Pat!!

This is a big difference between Europe and US. I think different European countries require different levels of strictness -- it may be employer isn't allowed to even track who are the correspondents, let alone reading the email contents.
This kind of evil cleverness evokes the Slashdot-era Microsoft. It seems appropriate to resurrect the nicknames.

Bill-Bashing can stay buried now that he has moved on to charity, though.
Company-provided end-to-end email encryption is potentially non-compliant with sector-specific laws. I'm thinking specifically finance, where companies have a positive requirement to monitor company-provided communication for insider trading or something like that.

More broadly, end-to-end encryption may put the employer at risk in some situations. In harassment claims, employers can become liable for harassment using company-provided channels because they're argued to 'enable' it. Providing a communication channel that doesn't allow them to verify claims during an investigation or stop ongoing harassment can expose them to greater risk.

To my knowledge, in Europe (or some European countries) it's illegal to monitor employee communications except in the context of a specific claim. In the US broad-based communication monitoring is generally legal unless someone can somehow prove that it's specifically used to prevent employees from organizing a union.

IANAL, take these as broad-stroke general impressions and not precise or accurate statements of fact.

G Suite has implemented recently an option that lets you email sensitive content with a timer.
The user receives the email and no content is in the email, instead a link is shown, and the content will be deleted after some kind of triggers (e.g. after X minutes, or after having been read once)

Now I would be interested in whether Google Vault retains those. Because it's a conundrum either way.

If google vault does retain it, you have sensitive content that people think are private but is not.

If google vault does not retain it, then accountability, auditing, liability, etc... goes out the window and google vault isn't a vault anymore.

Anyone on G Suite Business can check and confirm?
I don't think that is actually the case, I hope you had quite a few you first-hand accounts of people who had it and it was not 'barely a cold'. more like 4 days in bed, still very lethargic for the next 2 or 3 days. it depends on the viral load that is received. small load = milder symptoms.

I think this is why it is so dangerous for healthcare workers, they get prolonged exposure and them by the time they become ill they have a lot of virus. if you picked it up off someone on public transport, for example, then your exposure would have been maybe 10 or 15 minutes, so you get a milder case.
Interesting point about the ACE2 receptors in the GI tract. I wonder if that's why certain infections present with GI symptoms?
"More secure" is different than "more private." I absolute trust that Google can prevent unauthorized parties from reading my email. The issue is what parties are authorized.

I think it’s more that the commodity smartphone technologies were used “laterally” to make a game console that can be played portability. Or, smartphones have been iterating on graphics chipsets since the 3DS was released, so it seems sensible to capitalize on them in a way that a smartphone wasn’t going to.

I think it worked really well for Nintendo too, as they’re very much still a toy company compared to Sony or Microsoft. The budgets for handheld games were likely going to be bigger compared to the DS and 3DS for the next decade, so it makes sense to start to look at them as the same as console game development.
How many hours are willing to be billed for in research, and are you willing to go to court to seek a conclusive answer if none is found in research?
I am aware it's common, and perhaps unavoidable so long as administrators can reset users' passwords, but it's always struck me as strange.

In many organisations the guy who operates the mail server does not have the same seniority as the CEO, and neither would they be read into every commercially sensitive project, every HR, disciplinary, or employee medical discussion.

So it seems odd to me that IT administrators, who are often such sticklers for security and opponents of the idea of trustingly granting overly-broad permissions, would even want the ability to do an end-run around information isolation.

I felt like this for a long time, then I started to open my eyes to all the problems around me. For example, I started github.com/rmpr/atbswp because I used something like that on Windows, and when I switched to Linux I missed it, on simple solution was to start working on something similar...
Well historically the symptom /was/ the disease effectively without imaging to meaningfully separate "appeasing the spirits by ritual boiling" vs "killing microbes". To go with a niche mixed metaphor part of the issue is epistemological low resolution. If the extended "senses" and knowledge are lacking everything is imprecise.

One path of medicine closest to that sort of symptom vs disease separation being practical is phage therapy. It could be called true alternative medicine as an actual alternative as opposed to a euphemism for "false or unproven" but is generally less practical in spite of its other virtues. Because a proper phage needs to be selected per target pathogen. As opposed to not caring what strain of virus it is and just treating the symptoms so the patient can recover and not die.
I'm given to understand that Chinese traditional medicine is effective as well, and with their reported success in controlling the epidemic, we should look into those techniques as well.

How much can we count you in for?
Arguably there's a lot of blind speculation on HN about engineering/math/whatever as well, some of it quite dangerous.

That's the price we pay for open discourse.
Your choice of clipping that sentence is incredibly disingenuous.

The actual quote is “This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively.”

They are not saying COVID-19 is the same as a flu, they are saying its mortality rate is closer to a bad flu year than to SARS or MERS. And that’s only half of the story — they go on to say that the rate it is spreading is what is truly worrying even if the mortality rate is low.

Please stop spreading disinformation.

I have the exactly same situation and I also made a half ass engine for a 2d rpg with a map editor.

I don't know what's happening, but whenever I'm pushed to do something, either by my parents or my boss or anything urgent (say I have an interview in a week), I'm suoer focused and can get tremendous amount of work done in a short period of time.

However, whenever I set up a target for myself, out of curiosity or interest, anything non urgent, I'll just do a half asd work for maybe a few weeks and then never get deeo enough to learn or show anything important.

This really summaries my life since day 1. My dream is to have someone pointing a gun at head and say "learn this or die" and I'm sure I can finish it nicely and quickly. But in real life I don't have this kind of luxuries...
Spain to Roll Out Permanent Universal Basic Income ‘Soon’
I'm not sure I buy it as we don't have any idea how many people actually have the disease. I have to assume the denominator is of those tested, X% required hospitalisation. If it is those confirmed to have the disease, and because clearly the whole population hasn't been tested the results are skewed as we only test people with severe symptoms.
Some countries have limits on which emails can be monitored or how often it can happen. I haven't heard of any where it is forbidden.

I can't imagine how hard it would be to run a business in a jurisdiction where that would be the case. How would you handle audits, employee turnover, records retention, civil suits, etc?

How to biohack your body, on Brains Byte Back
Just so I understand what you're complaining about:
1) you worked for a company
2) the company provided you with an email address via their corporate email system
3) you left the company
4) the company wants to read email sent to your work email address in their corporate email system

Yes, it is totally legal for them to do that, there is no question, and it wouldn't make sense for it to be any other way.
If you're the patient, and the doctor says "I'm sorry but we have no more ventilators. You can elect to choose this experimental device and sign away liability as a last resort. Otherwise you are going to almost certainly die."

How would you respond? If anything I'd be appalled if I was the patient, and was basically just left to die because of all the certification red tape.
So interesting to hear about this niche problem. I never would have imagined that this would be an issue. When I read the title, I thought.. "duh... just use a backup generator", but the back of the napkin math doesn't seem to work out.

I wonder what the economic impact of such a simple issue is. If you think of food loss from all processors in a whole country, it is definitely huge. What other seemingly small issues actually could have huge impact? What problems in my country are hiding right under my nose?
