I live in Turkey and I can tell Kolonya's effectiveness mainly comes from the behavioral cues it sends me.

Traditionally, you would offer some as you welcome your guests to your home. It is also a great refresher, I always have a bottle in my house and not only you would use it for your hands but also you can put some on your face and neck. (Like an after shave, but less aromatic) So I have one bottle on my desk and unconsciously keep disinfecting myself.

I can't imagine doing that easily with a commercial sanitizer when somebody arrives in your home :)
This is brilliant and simple and backwards-compatible. Well done. If I knew anything about the standards process I would write an RFC for it today.

I used nippy originally, then later Java serialization libraries once it became clear optimization was required. I tried using both Redis and RocksDB. The happy case had all but the last layer of nodes sitting in cache in memory (as long as your memory is more than 1/32 of the size of your disk).

I think I could do better starting from scratch given what I've learned.

This comes from imagemagick.

Convert is an alias to "magick convert" which is a command built into ImageMagick. Installing ImageMagick is pretty easy, usually just `[packagemanager] install imagemagick`
I'm amazed Mozilla hasn't sued Google for discriminating against their browser - I also use Firefox and suffer endlessly using privacy tools. I can prove there are no more busses and I'm 100% right, but I can predict 100% of the time it'll say "please try again".

The pattern seems to be 2/3 'right' guesses. on sites like eBay, the captcha is broke on firefox. I complete it, and it says "you need to resubmit this form again", and reloads the entire page.

That's the cost of privacy; broken pages and refused access because Google says "NO!".

And businesses are okay with Google denying them money. I wonder if they did a cost/ben analysis if they find it worthwhile.

Thanks to Google, I've actually saved quite a bit of money, they lost out hundreds recently when their automated systems decided to refuse my transaction. Their loss and my gain.
Drawbacks:

- No commits in github in over 9 months, PRs and issues are stacking up.

- I've had friends report clipboard broken in latest Mac OS X version.

Don't get too attached to mosh.

It was discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15141594

I'm still of the opinion that there should be an RFC around tilde urls, making it official that they're for hosting static content that isn't vouched for by the owner of the main domain. This has been an important part of our culture for decades, and it should be formally recognized and codified so that people can do it in a secure way.
That sounds a bit like a tautology.
Thanks. This is interesting! I would like to try it out. I'm doing scraping now, because our vendors refuse to give us API or they don't have one. They only give us data feeds via email. And the feeds are very sketchy, no images for example. We have to scrape their websites. My main tool is puppeteer, However, I found it's way easier to scrape XHR network responses, global javascript objects or look into <script type="application/json">, not from the UI.

In my case, I need to scrape 2 things. One is the sku number, which is often not displayed on the ui, but if you look into the source code of the webpage, you can usually find it.

I also need to scrape all product variants, such as all colors and product sizes, all finishes, etc.

If I do this via UI, I need to click each product option, and wait for the ui change and then scrape the content. My work becomes easier if I can capture a json data exchange or a javascript object that contains this information. For most of the cases, I can find it. So I gave up on reading things directly from the UI.

I learned a new word, "ETL workflow". I have been doing this data scraping thing for a while, I didn't know there is a whole ecosystem existing. Scraping is such a pain, it's sad that there is a lack of common data exchange standards.
::Vietnam flashback music::
there are other vms that would provide the same level of value, though, for clojure. the fact that it runs on V8 via ClojureScript is proof of that.

personally, I believe they should have used BEAM originally and stayed as far away from the jvm as they could, but that is my own opinion, and everyone has their own opinions.
Cool, never heard of it!
I made something similar, but web based with youtube-dl for parsing. It's not ideal, but I also used it to watch movies together with friends during the pandemic. It has one shared playlist, but anyone can run their own instance :) It's pretty simple, any contributions are welcome :)

I bought it two weeks ago when the delivery delay was only a couple days, and I'm really happy of that purchase. For the price of the webcam I would have bought otherwise, I can enjoy the high quality of my photo gear and have a cool and versatile HDMI-to-USB adapter.

I’ll add my experience here. My wife got it first. It was several days of fever and intense sinus pain. The fever broke and then she had a cough for several days more. She lost her sense of taste and smell as well. She has also experienced some stomach pain. The worst part is the fatigue that has accompanied the entire process and still persists a bit.

My experience, starting about 5 days after she showed symptoms was more or less the same without the sinus pain. The fever broke after 2 days. The fatigue has been the primary issue and I have apparently lost about 5% of my body weight since quarantine began. Losing your sense of taste and smell seems to correlate to not having an appetite.

Our two young children ~7 years old are ok. One had sinus pain for day, but a warm compress helped with that. I assume they have it and we are all quarantined inside as a result.

Feel free to ask further questions.
If you're using emacs, you may be able to use Tramp to remotely access the file. It depends on how IDE-ish you've got your emacs set up. As long as you've got reasonable latency I find that much nicer.

In SA right now I believe everything is closed to a much greater extent than most other places. For example, restaurants are not allowed to even deliver food. Only ingredients for preparing meals at home can be delivered by grocery stores. No alcohol or tobacco. Aggressive policing of the rules.
On a side note: I guess it's still "mobile" in english - "handy" is pretty german. ;)

Not sure if it's still valid, but "handy" has a different meaning in slang:

Again, a native speaker might consider different, but as a german the usage of "handy" immediatley caught my eye. :D
It seems like nobody is content to maintain a commercial product that does one thing: play media well. Plex Media Server is now going down the same path: They're trying to do their own streaming services, be a portal for podcasts, have a partnership with TIDAL, etc. They recently hijacked the home screen UI to shill their library of completely awful TV shows and movies that nobody wants to watch (though it can be disabled easily). Seriously considering a move to Emby at this point.
Very cool, I haven't used LIEF before but it looks quite interesting ... thanks for the links!
I think the comment claims that both flu and corona deaths are assigned almost solely based on symptoms and medical history (eg. if someone comes in with a fever, develops a pneumonia and dies then they look at signs to tell apart the diseases - did the patient have runny nose and joint aches? yes? then flu. no? but had shortness of breath? corona.)
Questions about the reproducibility of signatures reminds me of this case https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howland_will_forgery_trial in which Charles and Benjamin Pierce were brought in as expert witnesses. There's a good account in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Metaphysical_Club:_A_Story....
It's all about inertia. Everybody either already knows vector algebra or will have to learn it anyway, to understand the vast majority of existing literature.

Geometric Algebra may be superior, but it's "one more thing" to learn/teach. It might catch on, but that might take another century of preaching.
It had lovely first-class support for batch queues, local and distributed, with load balancing, quotas, forwarding, etc, which you still cannot get on a Linux system.

It had great shared/cluster filesystems, that came standard, that have only been replicated in about the last 5 years in Linux (see Gluster/Ceph/etc), and the Linux equivalents are (still!) less well documented with much higher admin overhead.

The downside was, of course, that all those great features worked only with VMS software and hardware, and only with specific combinations of the above.

I started working from home in early March, and even then most webcams were sold out on Amazon. I ended up finding the camera I wanted on Bestbuy without any problems and it was delivered pretty quickly. I just checked again, and the same webcam I got off Bestbuy is now only available for in store pickup.
Heart failure sure

but road traffic related deaths? Really? COVID-19 is not causing a decrease in road traffic deaths, the reaction to COVID-19 is. So, why would that data ever be relevant when talking about the disease?
I coded PHP like that a long time ago. There was a great editor, maybe called E or something to that tune that would made it seem as if your files were right there locally.
I’m slightly confused by this. At first you seem to be using A and B to describe whether the connector is male/female but in the next paragraph you use the letter C to refer to the shape of the connector.

I assume in the first paragraph you mean a usb A cable with plugs on both ends
This is an amazingly well written article, given how difficult the topic is to explain. It's about massive generalizations over the last few decades of the basic idea that Wiles proof of FLT depended on, and does a great job explaining the key role of collaboration in mathematical research. This is everything Mochizuki's "proof" of the ABC conjecture is not.
I had a coworker who insisted on mechanical keyboards and dvorak because it's more efficient (according to him). This guy was the most unproductive programmer I've ever known, you'd hardly hear his keyboard anyway.
Home broadband has not improved much in the past 10 years. Home users simply couldn't stream a 720p video back then and most still can't as of today.

So there is no point in making higher resolution cameras, that won't run 5 frames per second.

Besides, high-end phones have very good cameras nowadays but they sell for a $1000 and upward. The typical webcam budget is rather in the $20-30 range. If you're willing to put hundred(s) in a webcam, like businesses and streamers, there are good options.

Liability. Professional engineers are liable for the work they produce and approve. They get a fancy stamp and liability insurance and can be sued when things go wrong. That's why engineers tend to be those who work on things that can kill you. IMO if you're working on an airplane's software for example you should probably either be an engineer or supervised by one. This matters because engineering provides you guidelines you must follow and ethics you must uphold, and if you aren't following the rules your governing professional body prescribes they can strip you of your license to prevent you from being a danger to the public. There are many other critical pieces of software btw. I just mentioned airplanes because it's one of the most obvious ones.

So yes, there definitely exist software engineers who require licensing by their state or country. Most of us just aren't actual software engineers, that's my point.
For what it’s worth, I thought Andy Serkis really captured some of the complexity of Einstein’s character in the movie “Einstein and Eddington” — contrasts with the typical characterization of Einstein as the cuddly goofball of pop culture, and paints him as a human with flaws.
> How can it be faster considering that they are equivalent?

Computing `ln(e^x)` and `x` are equivalent, but the latter is faster.
But why cars? It would make sense if you are an extreme capitalist to put money in the equation, how much a life costs, how much lockdown costs, how much it costs to find a cure, how much it costs to let everyone sick die but it would make no sense to bring cars into this, think about it your calculation would be different depending on the country or state, like if you are in the country with horible driving bad luck now you will also die from covid.

'In' is a wierd prefix in english:

Invaluable: means 'really valuable'

Inflammable: means the same as 'flammable'

Inland: means inside the land

I think you meant 'Highlighting corporate spin is not un-valuable'
Why did they not name it 'iShield'. Seems appropriate.

Some of the first consumer level usb 3.0 webcams capable of 60 fps only came out a few years ago. Before that it was impossible to get such framerate on a webcam because usb 2.0 did not have enough bandwidth.
Yeah, because Craigslist actually facilitated the transaction between buyer and seller. They were a pure example of a "dumb pipe", designed to do just one thing.

I booked plenty of spare rooms and apartments on CL back in the 2000s. Send an email, chat briefly on the phone, done deal. No muss, no fuss.

Airbnb wants to control every aspect of the transaction, from payment, to even simply communicating with the host; everything has to go through their channels.

Beyond that, they've tried to become a hotel company without offering protections for hosts, or following any of the regulations that hotels do, until events force them to act otherwise (wild parties resulting in damages, the recent shootings at a US and then at a Toronto location).

Unsurprisingly, they are now stonewalling both hosts and guests on cancellation refunds. Do a search for "bchesky" on Twitter; there are thousands of tweets from people who are out significant amounts of money.
Do you say the same about people who write open source software? This is basically open source music, CC licensed. Just like in the software world, sometimes experimentation and sharing takes priority, not always, but it still has its place.
Things a non-CS developer should learn to become a front-end developer in 2020?
Hello people!

I'm here to get your suggestion on how to help someone become a frontend developer. To give a bit of background, I'm a backend developer with ~5 years of experience with some knowledge in frontend as well (I do typescript with react and use webpack for builds). I would like to help my wife becoming a front-end developer who has a bachelor's degree in civil engineering.
I started teaching her some basic HTML and CSS. Now, I would like to know some resources or pages which can help me prepare a curriculum for set of things needed to become a frontend dev. I would be glad, if you all can help me.

Thanks a ton!
USB A and B are both connector types, just like USB C is a connector type. The letters have nothing to do with male vs. female.

USB A is a rectangle, and USB B is closer to a square. I've also never seen anything aside from female USB ports and male/male USB cables (aside from extension cables).
> OpenVMS's command line interface is designed around a mistake-prone operator who hasn't had their coffee. It doesn't have, say, the 'rm -rf /' problem. Unix's CLI assumes a perfect operator who gets everything right the first time.

Funny you should say that. On a VMS build server, I was once cleaning up a build and ran a "DEL [...]* .OBJ;*" (HN auto-formatting doesn't allow me to display this properly without inserting a space after the first asterisk). I started to wonder why it was taking a very long time to complete when it hit me... I had run it from the root-level of DKA0:, not from the build directory. Needless to say, the entire OS had to be restored/rebuilt.

This is easily the biggest mistake I have made in my 20-year career as a sysadmin (or system manager as we call it in the VMS world). Don't get me wrong, I love VMS for many of the reasons you've stated, and more; I wish it was more widely used in the industry. But don't be fooled; you don't need to be on a Unix system to make mistakes of disastrous consequences. They can happen anywhere!
This doesn't appear to be accurate.

If your employer pays less than unemployment, or schedules employees for fewer hours than unemployment-- it is the problem, not the unemployment benefit.
Is this established? Last I heard asymptomatic was the norm. And they had no explanation for why.

Note that I am definitely not costuming this is a no risk virus. If you are in the risk pool, this is clearly deadly. They don't know what that risk pool is, though. All evidence is that kids are nigh immune to it. Older people are likely in the risk pool. But age is looking like a proxy here.
Sure, but most admins have to learn iptables anyway, and many prefer to learn one tool instead of two.
But the sound is part of the better experience.

But if you also would consider that without the lockdown the number would have been worse you need to adjust the numbers to reflect a larger infection rate and a collapsed health care where everyone with complication is dead.
Why Bill Gates? Or why start with him?

Get a grant from anywhere reputable. You need to work your way up the ladder through a ton of hard work. I don't mean that's how the system should work, but each rung of the ladder will be a signal to the next rung that your idea is worth the opportunity cost of not considering a competing idea.

Waiting for Gates or another almost god-like figure can be an excuse to avoid hard work or the pain of failure. I don't think it matters that this is "in the public interest" instead of purely for personal gain.

If you're right about these strains being out there, I don't think you'd have to do a worldwide search. A local search in any metro area should be successful. Unless I misunderstand your proposal.

Upload bandwidth for 95% of homes in the US is the same as it was almost 20 years ago. It’s so bad it’s not even advertised. If you have access to fiber, then you’re very lucky in the US.

I would also say 5mbps upload is hardly an upgrade. A single FaceTime call uses a couple mbps, so it’s probably just enough for that, assuming everyone in the neighborhood isn’t uploading too, which they are nowadays.
Did you even RTFA and look at hCAPTCHA? hCAPTCHA couldn't be more grossly focused on neural-net training. Hell, one challenge asks you to draw a bounding box and another is a classification tagging.
A while ago, I looked into perhaps learning more SML and looked around for libraries. I did not find much and neither did I find a package manager or a search website for SML libraries. That is why I did not invest more time. iirc I was looking for things like markdown parsers.

If this package manager is good, I might take another look at the ecosystem, learning some more. Then I would also be able to read Purely Functional Datastructures and understand what the code does. That promises some intellectual rewards.
Gave it a shot. Put in 3 musicians/groups I love. I got 11 suggestions, I knew 7 of them already. Out of all the suggestion only one of them had any kind embedded media (Youtube) sample, that's it, no links or anything else for the other ones. I'll give it a shot with more main stream bands and see if that changes, could just be the genre/groups I chose.

Pretty neat and on point as far as the suggestions I did recognize though. Wish there at least a basic outgoing link for each suggestion
