I had all the listed symptoms including headache, fever, sore throat, muscle ache, and diarrhea, but those were all pretty mild compared to other illnesses I've experienced in the past, like the flu or even a bad cold. The one symptom that was unlike anything else I've ever experienced was the shortness of breath. There was a period of several days where it felt like I was at several miles' altitude. When I was being sedentary I was OK, but I was noticeably not getting enough oxygen even just while walking around my apartment, like I couldn't catch my breath or suck down enough oxygen.

I've since mostly recovered, but my lungs are still giving me problems (this is apparently expected; it can take months to recover from severe pneumonia, so I'm doing better than that at least). I haven't gone running in over a month whereas I used to go several times a week, and even stuff like playing Beat Saber has kicked my ass. Ironically, wearing masks is hard for me now because they interfere with how much oxygen you can take in, so I can wear them while walking leisurely, but I start walking faster, or try to carry a heavy load (groceries), or climb stairs with a mask on, then I really start feeling shitty. So I haven't been wearing a mask while outside and only don one for being inside stores (which is fine, it's been way more than 14 days since I last experienced any symptoms of infection).

So yeah, a weird illness, quite different from the usual human viruses like the cold flu that we all know and "love". I don't know if I have any tips other than don't expect to get better from it quickly (you don't bounce back in a few days like you would from the cold), and lying prone helps you breathe better (but I fortunately never got serious enough to the point where I was struggling to breathe even while being sedentary; it was only after activity). Oh, and if you do anything like smoke or vape (I don't), quit that right now. You want your lungs to be in the best possible condition before going into this because you're gonna lose a lot of capacity and if that puts you below the level required to sustain your basic sedentary metabolism, you could die, or at the least require supplementary oxygen in a hospital. Heck, take up running or some similarly aerobic activity now if you haven't already; that'll help.
Going further are there any web Linux desktops? Like whole UI, text rendering and input is on a client's side browser. So also graphics with caching and video playback is just sending already encoded data through the wire. Video may need reencoding in case of non-web codecs though. It does not need to do any HTTPS, there is SSH, VPN, WireGuard and Zerotier.

WIP projects are also interesting for me.

Also I was thinking - would it be possible to at least have a virtual VAAPI driver that would send the encoded video straight over the connection and integrate it with something like Xpra? Because I had done some VPN/RDP like sessions via Xpra and videos are the biggest pain really.
Rationale for Testing Anticoagulants Against Covid-19
What is meant by "portable code"? Should it refer only to code that should theoretically be usable on all imaginable implementations, or should it be expanded to include code which may not be accepted by all implementations, but which would have an unambiguous meaning on all implementations that accept it?

Historically, if there was some action or construct that different implementations would process in different ways that were well suited to their target platforms and purposes, but were incompatible with each other, the Standard would simply regard such an action as invoking Undefined Behavior, so as to avoid requiring that any implementations change in a way that would break existing code. This worked fine in an era where people were used to examining upon precedent to know how implementations intended for certain kinds of platforms and purposes should be expected to process certain constructs. Such an approach is becoming increasingly untenable, however.

If instead the Standard were to specify directives and say that if a program starts with directive X, implementations may either process integer overflow with precise wrapping semantics or refuse to process it altogether, if it starts with directive Y, implementations may either process it treating "long" as a 32-bit type or refuse to process it altogether, etc. this would make it much more practical to write portable programs. Not all programs would run on all implementations, but if many users of an implementation that targets a 64-bit platform need to use code that was designed around traditional microcomputer integer types, a directive demanding that "long" be 32 bits would provide a clear path for the implementation to meet its customers' needs.
I would say chat history and asymmetrical scheduling for chat are expectations in this day and age, and the lack of them is one of the biggest reasons people find IRC irritating or difficult. (I ask a question, and if the person fit to answer it isn't logged in right now, it never gets even responded to.)

Every fairly modern chat solution, Skype, Discord, Slack, etc. allows you to see messages while you were offline. Compared to things from the older eras of messaging like AIM and YIM, when generally you couldn't even message someone unless they were online as well.

So it's not surprising to me for IRC loggers to be a relatively more modern element: They're filling in a gap IRC has with modern chat clients.

Only issue I'm having is the alignment (Firefox 75 on Linux). Which looking at the source they're using the align attribute on the body which only works on divs in firefox.

If it's helpful for the author I was able to do a quick fix for myself with Stylus by adding:
body {
text-align: center;
}

Another option would be warping everything that needs to be centered in a div and putting the align attribute on that.
Probably. I can't be bothered looking for a reference.

I was an engineering program manager and people manager at Google previously and around 2010-2012, there were opportunities for the company to really accelerate revenue, product development but they couldn't hire fast enough to take advantage. This stemmed from many orgs freezing hiring for a significant period (maybe 12-18 months).

At large companies, you have queues setup for most roles because you often growing the n count of that role by 5-10% per annum.

Also very few orgs plan for attrition (I don't get why because it's always been in the range of 4-20% in my opinion). Freezing hiring means a company's ability to execute reduces. Sometimes that is needed but often you must backfill to keep the lights on. Guess the messaging is easy ("no hiring. No exceptions").
That's been the default behaviour for as long as I can remember. I'm fairly certain of my 2008 Macbook Air doing this. Less so (but still better than even odds) for my 17" PowerBook.

You'd want some minimum charge to, at least, safely start up and immediately shut down again. Maybe throw in a little extra to be on the safe side. The higher-performance MacBooks also operate within a an extreme width of power requirements, from about 5W to close to 100W. I'm not sure if they can throttle based on battery status. But if not, you'd need a buffer to accommodate load spikes.

I guess you could criticise them for not trusting you to keep it plugged in. But any UI to clearly communicate that unplugging now might cause data loss is bound to be a horrible sludge. It could also easily fail if you happen to trip over the cable or the power went off.
This is actually what prompted us to start looking at interchange plus processors, plus the issue that our negotiated deal in Canada (where we're based) doesn't apply to our US clients. We went with Stripe for "simple" pricing knowing there were better deals out there, but it's no longer that simple for us at least.
It’d be nice if there were something that let you use SQL (or similar) actually on the frontend with some good security. If such a thing exists please let me know
Looks like there are different programs, but for the payroll loans, I don't see anything like that in the criteria.[1]

Not sure how that's relevant. Coronaviruses behave differently from each other, and it's not clear how this one behaves wrt post-recovery immunity.

And to your point, many forms of the "common cold" are caused by coronaviruses, and it's not like herd immunity is a thing there.
Would you be willing to share any of these commands?
Unfortunately this is not new. A lot of good can be said about Apple's devices (inc. Macbooks), but in terms of thermal performance the Macbooks are pretty bad and have been for a very long time. They often use software to paper over the problem. Part of that seems to be a design trade-off to hide the exhaust vent and continuing the match towards thin.

As an aside the 2019 redesign of the Mac Pro likely has the best thermal design we've seen from Apple by far. I often wonder what an actual mobile workstation laptop from Apple would look like, I'm talking at least three times the thickness, hardy case/screen, great thermal design, and huge battery. It would be niche but fantastic.
The author makes a case for just sending sql queries from the frontend. For public APIs you can probably make a case. But for a normal application it doesn't make much sense. You only have a fixed amount of queries to run. So why would you implement the hassle and huge exploit surface of validating queries from the frontend. So once you realize this, you'll just give every query some identifier and send the identifier + some parameters instead of the query. Et voila, you have created RPC

> Each public key must be signed before messages from the owner of that public key can be decrypted.

Nope.

Nope, you need theirs.

I get it, in the current year, it's cool to bash gpg because it's sooooo complicated. There may even be some merit to that argument, but it's pretty lame if the argument is based on not understanding the very basics of public key cryptography.
I mean, people have tried doing studies like that for CQ/HCQ. They are riddled with questionable assumptions (that patient groups are similar or treatment regimens are equivalent) that make their conclusions completely unreliable.

In the end we will most likely find that all positive anecdotal evidence found was just confirmation bias. That's why RCTs are so important.
You are being quite niggardly in your interpretation of my comment. The guidelines state:

You oughtn't to be a niggard when interpreting comments. Otherwise you might see something that isn't there.

Just a thought: when the government starts giving out lots of money with strings attached, you get a lot more jobs doing administrative compliance tasks. I'm thinking of, for instance, universities and the growing numbers of administrators who exist to chase funding. More strings attached means money will go towards meeting all requirements. Maybe this isn't strictly bad, but it might be less efficient than just letting some undeserving companies get away with extra cash. I'd rather startups consist of employees focused on building their product than focused on qualifying for government grants.
Or having multiple frontends, each with different API requirements. Yes, you can still write multiple SQL queries, but the “carefully written SQL views” are not that useful anymore.

Websites require long term certificate retention and every year or two those certificates are replaced just like email PKI keys are in an environment with key management. So, long term crypto storage in that regard is equivalent between email and the web. The fact that the PKI keys of TLS are temporary are more out of convenience than security because the client/server have to work out which key set algorithm is agreeable.

You don't generally need a certificate in addition to perform key exchange over email, though that is an option, because you either know and trust who you are manually exchanging keys with or the remote user is already trusted because you are both on the same server that is automating the exchange. On the web everything is anonymous so there is no trust without that certificate. If you really want one though modern email clients will allow you to create a personal certificate and digital signature to establish identity.

Key exchange isn't meant to provide identity. That is what signed certificates are for. The keys are only there to provide distributed encryption. Most modern email clients will allow you to generate a certificate for your emails with a digital signature.

The actuarial value of a human life is $10M, so that really is how the math works out. Don't underestimate the lifetime output of a human, plus all the non-monetarily-compensated labor they do that is nevertheless valuable. Especially if there are dependents involved (younger or older), the costs of that death rise well above just that person's economic output, but also the total cost of the state having to take on the burden of caring for those dependents. And we haven't even started getting into what the emotional burden on everyone who knew those people looks like.

The numbers work out; it's absolutely worth shutting down the economy for some number of months to prevent the loss of a million lives. Obviously the numbers don't work out to do so indefinitely, but for the one month so far and the upcoming few, definitely.
Interestingly even the faster 4900H has a lower TDP than the 65W i9-10900F.
It varies based on the card type, country, and other things. We could expose all of that more directly but the trade-off there is obviously pricing complexity, which we'd like to avoid.

In our analysis in making this change, we saw that this simply makes little difference for the vast majority of businesses. For example, if you're processing $100k/year and refund 5% of your payments (which would be on the high end of normal), it works out to about $12/month.

While refund rate of course is not definitively coupled to the quality of a business, we do see across our portfolio that it is strongly correlated. Given a basket of possible fees (for example, higher fees on Amex, which most other providers have), we prefer the fees that, on the margin, are least consequential for the businesses that are doing the best job of serving their customers.

Having said all of that, none of our pricing is cast in stone, and we always genuinely appreciate feedback, including contrary views.
I just tried for the last couple hours. Installed Steam then Fallout 4 and Grand Theft Auto 5. I tried to get GTA to start 5 times but it never would. Just black screen with music playing.

Fallout would start but I couldn't aim with my mouse. I could walk and shoot but it would register mouse movement. Then accidentally hitting ESC would stop full screen and eventually crash to the point I had to hard restart the system.

I don't recommend for gaming.

> PGP is well tested and most of the bugs have been worked out.

Most of them.

You're either using gnupg or you're using some custom PGP implementation.

A custom PGP implementation has far more footguns than a restricted JWT implementation.

Gnupg is a deeply terrifying codebase- for example, did you know you're not supposed to use the exit code of gpg --verify? You must parse statusfd, too, or many bugs will let you spoof signatures. (Bugs found as recently as this year).

I'd encourage anybody considering using gnupg for anything to read mainproc.c and see if they understand what's going on.
by force, meaning you were threatened physically? or is this more like you choosing to ignore the tax law of the state you choose to live in?
End-to-end encryption is still a very challenging problem almost everywhere except for direct connection server-side TLS. Yet, everyone has a problem that encryption solves, which is that you actually cannot if some entity has been interfering with your email, perhaps re-writing certain paragraphs. There is plenty of evidence that actually interfering with email is in fact something that happens. Similarly, in the age before widespread use of TLS, cases of ISPs injecting content/javascript/trackers into web traffic was also widespread.

Because they're lying about the specs of the product you're purchasing.
When making multiplayer games in the 90's I realized that the players computer was sometimes more powerful then the server, so the strategy since have been to put as much work on the client as possible, in order to fit as many players as possible on a server. Because hosting servers is expensive. You want reliability on the server side. Server goes down - hundreds of people cant play. One client goes down - not your problem.

The advance in network capacity and low latency io opens the possibility of thin clients. For example gaming consoles - in a few generations youll probably just connect via your smart tv. The biggest incentive is probably DRM. Where you stream the content rather then owning it.
I had a similar issue with a 2012 MBA, tried SMC and PRAM reset which worked intermittently and ultimately replaced the battery for about $60.
Short to medium term immunity is conferred to survivors of other coronaviruses. No reason to expect it won't be the same with this one.
Yeah, I find it incredibly bizarre that the DNC can't field a decent slate of relatable, electable candidates, even if you "only" consider the massive number of politicians with experience on the national stage. But I guess they are more incentivized to get their friends into positions of power than to do right by the country and party (though I assume they've convinced themselves that what they're doing does indeed fulfill that duty).
When I got hired back in 2004 that was pretty much the bar (helped that I knew how to fix servers I suspect too)!! :)
72 static in-line functions. If a compiler does a good job of handling such things efficiently, most of them could be accommodated by chaining to another function once or twice (e.g. to read a 64-bit value that's known to be at least 16-bit aligned, on a platform that doesn't support unaligned reads, read and combine two 32-bit values that are known to be 16-bit likewise).

Far less bloat than would be needed for a compiler to recognize and optimize any meaningful fraction of the ways people might write code to work around the lack of portably-specified library functions.
Nothing new here. People were talking about asymptomatic spread by younger people for months. Why is Esper surprised?

Thanks, I appreciate your honesty. We're all struggling through this and need to vent it.

We hope that since this doesn't require any real tech knowledge, even people who aren't super tech savvy can use it. I've shared it with my neighborhood, which has lots of elderly people, and they seem to be using it okay (only a handful of tech support requests). We think this is a service the grocery stores should be offering themselves -- hopefully it'll push them in that direction.

It would probably be ideal for the US to do something like the UK and force grocery stores to prioritize high risk households... but there's a lot our government's response leaves to be desired.

But even those of us who aren't high risk could still be carriers. I could go in a store and accidentally get everyone in it sick. We ALL need to be avoiding public places. :-/
