For a rather fair price ($1/mo.), I get synchronization between devices, link tagging and custom notes (attached to bookmarks or not). I can search everything I entered by full text search (and for extra $1/mo., you can also search the content of webpages your saved links lead to). There is some staring feature (mark as favorite) and "todo" marking, but I never used these.

You can export your bookmarks in JSON, HTML or XML. I have a Python script that takes the JSON export and sends my bookmarks to archive.org's Save Page Now! service https://pastebin.com/uUVE22RD .

The biggest downside is that UI is slower, as obviously a web server is involved. But I like the UX flow provided by BrowserNative's Pinboard extension[0]: Alt+P to open bookmarking page, hit few letters of a tag, hit Tab to accept suggestion, hit Enter to Save, hit Ctrl+W to close the tab.

I have to say however, that my use case is primarily saving stuff "for future reference" or as long-term todo. I still have 20+ tabs open for short-lived stuff. Perhaps your workflow may differ.

What I miss a bit about onetab is the ability to quickly save or restore a whole set of tabs, and how you can open and delete a link in a single click.

That's amazing. My grandfather flew for Pan Am during the war, and his flight career spanned biplanes to the 707. I'm in awe of that generation. Your dad sounds like he had a similar adventure!
> The Authentication API prevented the use of alg: none with a case sensitive filter. This means that simply capitalising any letter e.g. alg: nonE, allowed tokens to be forged.

The option to have 'alg: none' should never be used as it is still the biggest footgun in the JOSE specification. I'm not sure why on earth you need a case-sensitive filter on this, but even giving the user a choice of ciphers to use is a recipe for disaster. Thus JWT is still a cryptographically weak standard.

PASETO [0] or Branca [1] are cryptographically stronger alternatives to use over JWT here.

To be clear, because the title makes it ambiguous, 11 patients died because of the treatment, or 11 paitents died of covid-related/suspected causes despite elevated treatment? It's a crucial distinction. The article doesn't perfectly specify which either. Covid-19 is already becoming known for causing cardiac problems in some patients, so if they were killed by a fatal heart arrhythmia, how to be sure that the medication caused it to be fatal instead of the disease progression itself due to myocarditis or something related combining with said arrhythmia.
It's just a less-than-ideal implementation, your CPU is most definitely not suffering. Here is a completely smooth version:

I don't know. Given what FPGAs are commonly used for -- i.e., I/O -- using a .io domain for this seems potentially confusing/contentious.

Lawyers are as hungry these days as anyone else. They need to pick a new name, or at least a new domain name. It's a terrible name for SEO, if for no other reason.
Which is something people have been discussing for weeks here in San Francisco, including RNs that have been thinking back to early January.

So how do we move this from a collection of anecdotes and immediate dismissal to prioritizing some antibody tests to the bay area. Possibly reopening it faster and keeping it open.

Just acknowledging the possibility can influence public policy, and the research that some other people want to see before they can acknowledge it.
You're telling him what his position is?!? Unless you can demonstrate your opinion of his position from his comments, you're putting words in his mouth, which is very much a jerk move.

To me, it also looks like you're putting words in his mouth that are very much not his position...
R0 isn't a fundamental constant, but just an estimated average. It's affected both by human behavior and random chance. In this case, the town had a very early superspreader event, which shifted them far ahead of the curve.

A FP rate that high will make a very significant difference in the results. (How large a difference depends on whether the 15% is a raw number or if it's been adjusted based on the expected test specificity and sensitivity. One would hope nobody would just report the raw numbers. But since all we've gotten from this study is basically a press release, expecting scientific rigor seems ill advised.)
A difference between drug discovery and technology is that in the case of drug discovery product-market fit is not as much of an unknown. If your drug works, there will be a market, it is pretty easy to estimate the size of the market, and you have market exclusivity for a period of time. In the case of technology, you need for both the product to work and for the market to materialize.

The problem is that everyone wants that extra leg room, not just the exceptionally tall.

Reserving the good seats for the height-advantaged is discrimination against short people, who are already discriminated against for personal characteristics beyond their control.

Yes, I agree. I'm not an Amazon fan at all and disagree with most of the behaviour of this company, but in this case it seems to be the right thing to do. Stopping while figuring out how to adapt their business seems logical and the safest thing to do for its employees.
ITT also will be lots of people blaming this economic impact solely on the social isolation measures, ignoring the fact that a pandemic ravaging unchecked through the entire population would be having an even worse effect. Once the pandemic started, there was no way it was gonna end well, regardless of our actions in response to it. At least with the social isolation measures, fewer people are dead by the end of it.
Yeah, it goes along with strong border control.

All international travel is going to be restricted for a very long time regardless of antibody and PCR tests.
You have some good points, but calling the US ancap is a bit strong.
Thanks for sharing that. I hope there's eventually some way for Scripps and the Robert Koch Institute to pool our data.
It makes sense that biotech startups are pre-revenue: it is illegal to charge money for a drug until it's gone through FDA clearance. That usually requires a Phase III clinical trial.

After FDA, you're not done: the company must then convince doctors to prescribe the drug, and health insurance to cover it.

All takes years, and requires investment. The estimate is that it now costs $1B+ to develop a new drug and bring it to market.

This is a good example of my frustration. The solution you suggested allows you to change how an existing emphasis character appears in emacs, but does not allow you to add a new emphasis character. Not great if you still want to be able to use all the old emphasis characters.

To add highlighting without interfering with an existing emphasis character, you're stuck with some ugly hacks (of which I tried a few before giving up). Apparently the reason for this particular limitation is so that org-mode has a consistent syntax for parsing outside of emacs (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-02/msg...). I don't care about parsing outside of emacs (and even if I did, it doesn't seem too terrible to just have my custom emphasis character get printed to the screen without the appropriate formatting). A truly malleable system wouldn't make it so hard for me to modify it to my liking based on my particular needs.

I was able to consistently get emacs/org-mode to work sorta how I wanted it to, but it was _always_ hacky and clunky.
Only if you are adequately insured against the accidental summoning of a Great Old One.
That is an ugly hack. We can do much more.

As others have said, the tutorial is the best place to start (C-h t). After that for any other thing you need to learn in emacs the info will probably have it (C-h i or M-x info). Emacs users usually spend much time configuring their “operating system” till they’re satisfied, by modifying the init.el, but you can get a popular config already made [0][1]. My biggest recommendation after understanding how emacs works, if you use/prefer vi binds, is install evil-mode [2]. It’s essentially a vi layer on top of emacs, and is very functional.

edit: If you use MacOS, Yamamoto Mitsuharu‘s emacs-mac [3] is my recommendation, as for linux the version from your distros package manager should be apt. ;)

How to Talk to Coronavirus Skeptics
Deploying on-demand, remote tech teams to help fight Covid-19
Emacs user here, it's been my go-to editor for about 40 years.

I have a few customizations, not many. My .emacs file is 63 lines long, doesn't include any other files, and mostly just tweaks some key bindings and turns off features that I don't like. The only modes I use are built-in ones (e.g., C-mode, auto-wrapping text mode, etc.). I can't write elisp without a reference manual, and I think that's okay.

I suggest:

- not installing a bunch of random stuff until you're comfortable with the core experience or you simply have to adjust or disable something that bugs you

- just using Emacs, and not customizing the crap out of it, ditto

If you haven't gone through the Emacs tutorial, it's how I learned it (at 300 baud, uphill both ways and in the snow -- not kidding about the 300 baud thing, though).

I think we're going to see three basic categories:

1. Essential+Unaffected: demand will be steady because there is no other choice, i.e. food, communication, ecommerce.

2. Horribly Affected: maybe even illegal to open right now, and when they open demand will be down significantly i.e. restaurants, bars, live entertainment, travel, some segments of education like language schools that cater to international, conferences and trade shows. Maybe back to full strength in 2 years but not going to be fun for a while, huge hit to demand.

3. Affected proportional to total global economy: If the overall economic activity goes down 20%, some businesses are going to track that. Transportation, business services, maybe banking.

The governments of the world certainly have the ability to stimulate asset bubbles, but I'm not sure that they can generally stimulate business activity other than on the demand side, i.e. rising incomes for labor. I think there could be a stratification of national economies performance over the next 2 years based on the ultimate success of their COVID-19 response. I'm seriously considering if I should try to predict the most robust regional response and look at moving there post crisis for the next 2 years or so. I think there could be significant differences. Not necessarily who is suffering the least, but who is going to emerge most vigorously.
If the risk of the change was minimal, why would they not proceed?

How can you plan for things occurring out of your control? CF engineers are people as well. Things like this happen and there will be learnings to take out of it (like how to fail over faster)
Open America Now!
It's worth pointing out that the word eliminated isn't in the quoted section, FWIW.
In all honesty, how is it irresponsible? New York is really bad. The rest of the country is in considerably better shape, and hospitals aren’t even close to being stressed in many areas. You’ve got nurses and doctors getting their hours cut back to nothing because no elective procedures are being done and the expected Covid surge never happened (again, not New York). Who honestly would’ve imagined there’d be doctors and nurses sitting idle during all of this?

There aren’t going to be any large gatherings or sporting events for the foreseeable future, lots of people are starting to wear masks and are doing much better as far as hygiene and social distancing are concerned. Why _can’t_ we start to think about getting things to slowly go back to normal? Keep the elderly (way easier for them to quarantine) and sick at home. If you can work from home, continue to do so. Everything else, figure out how to make it work within the framework of social distancing. There has to be more than a choice between “total lockdown” or “everyone’s gonna die.”
They could have asked to see the proof that it worked and asked an independent third party to verify it. That's usually what happens when people do due diligence, and it happens every day in the business world.

I posted this hours ago and then stepped away. The story captures so much about the Lee I knew so well. I'll add one piece of praise for Lee's early architecture of Cloudflare.

Everything was controlled by a single Postgres database that made very heavy use of stored procedures, that called other procedures, that called others. It was one giant program inside the database. It took me a while to comprehend what he'd done but it was really great. The database ran everything and all those functions made sure that audit logs were kept, that the calls were allowed for the user ID being passed in, and some of these procedures made external calls to APIs including getting things like SSL certificates.

It was a magnificent monolith inside a database.

I worked on the periphery of the database (it was truly Lee's domain) and he'd tell me what output to expect or API to create and I'd code to his spec. and we'd just hook it up.

If any single artefact represents what he did at Cloudflare, it's that database. And he used to code it on a laptop we called "The Beast" because it was so crazily heavy and overloaded with memory etc. that he'd carry around a mini, test Cloudflare wherever he went.

Agreed, but I saw an unverified comment somewhere suggesting someone had a less than <90% reading and was still mobile. I don't know if that is possible, but I mentally filed that next to incidents of people just collapsing on the street. To the extent hemoglobin disorder might??? be involved (per Chris Martenson), there could? be a mechanism for low blood oxygen without lung/respiratory disorder per se.
We think of priority based on time sensitivity - not importance. For example, if I have a 1:1 with my direct report, it is very important but not time sensitive. This allows us to move that 1:1 if needed to accommodate a more urgent meeting

Library-Ification and Analyzing Rust
To offer some perspective, in Montgomery County, just north of Philly (a suburban metro county harder hit than most), 10% of positive tests have been admitted to hospital, and 2.6% of positive tests have gone on ventilators.

So the subpopulation needing remdesivir is probably less than 5% of the positive cases (or 1250 of the 25,000 who tested positive here). BTW, the county population is 900,000.
That is not correct.

setInterval is definitely the main issue here, especially with a 30ms delay, 33 or 16 would at least give it a chance to sync with refresh rates. Absolutely positioned elements do not trigger reflow, as the element is removed from the normal document flow [1]. See my example in another comment.

You're welcome. I think it's a really interesting question in general: where do I want to spend my working time, and to what end? I've spent quite a bit of time thinking on it for my own case, and trying to find technical areas where I hope to be able to find an impact. It was the majority reason I left academic work (not that I am saying that can't be impactful).
This was devastating to read. The family were neighbors of ours for many years, and my wife was a close friend of Lee's mother.

"empty hospitals that need to furlough workers because they are so underworked"

This seems to be a meme, but I think it started with misinterpretation of elective procedures being cancelled and employees that couldn't be repurposed being furloughed. It doesn't make any sense to equate this with hospital resources in general being plentiful. The point of no elective procedures is that some resources are freed up. Bottlenecks aren't applicable to everything equally.
Thanks, I hadn't heard that yet. This might be one of those situations where it's preferable to "let a thousand flowers bloom."

For example, in another comment, I mentioned a study that's using the Oura ring, which is a great product, but has a far smaller user base than the mass-market Fitbit and Apple Watch audience that our study is focused on. So it's really additive to have both of our research efforts going forward.
As a counterpoint, I think OnePlus's "Oxygen" shell is often quicker and better than the already spectacular default Android experience.
Agreed. I bring all my travel photos into Lightroom which I subsequently edit on a 5k display.

Today I travel with an iPhone 11 Pro and a Fuji X-T2. In the past it's been whatever current-gen iPhone and pocket cameras like the Sony RX-100Mk3, Canon S110, Canon S95, and DSLRs like a Nikon D3000 and D50.

It used to be, the photos looked better on the phone after shooting them, just because the screen was so much better, but once imported to the computer, the iPhone photos looked like an oil painting even compared to a upper midrange P+S pocket camera, let alone a DSLR. It wasn't even close.

These days, between the XT-2 and the iPhone 11 Pro, it's hard to tell which is which. Sometimes the iPhone looks better as-shot because of the image processing presets. Other times it's the Fuji. At 1:1 on a 5k display it's just not as obvious as it was when the pixels were blown up more.

Even in good light, yes, the sharpness on the Fuji is better, but not by leaps and bounds. Not in a way that would be immediately obvious to anyone walking by the computer as it used to be.

I've never bought high-end glass, and frankly, some of my earlier DSLR photos are pretty bad compared to what my iPhone returns these days.
I'm extrapolating from hospitalization rates for that reason. Otherwise, you'd get a 0.45% CFR in Iceland.

Looking at the raw data, I don't think Korea ever had below 3% using deaths/recoveries. Iceland is at 0.75% right now. Two weeks after peak, Korea was at a crude CFR (deaths/total confirmed) at 1.1%

Please check your calculations more carefully before posting a number. the 21% mortality rate represents a percentage of all closed cases in the worldmeters data, not the sum total of all cases both active and closed either through fatality or recovery. The CFR from worldmeters based on total cases counted so far and total deaths counted so far sits at about 6% (and bear in mind that the total count of cases on the site is far, far off from the probable real number of cases.
Forgive the noise, but I second this. I haven't committed a hundred key combinations to memory. I find that knowing the twenty things I need to know (which are different for everyone), and having another twenty in my back pocket for once or twice a year has lasted me since 1992, and left me very satisfied indeed with emacs.

Ok, but then look at airline prices. Prices have dropped fairly consistently over the last 30 years. Even though you have to pay more, you are still paying less than people over the years. Seems fair to me.
