Well, given that I am using Docker it doesn't really matter much... but the bigger issue is: GCP in the past has completely blocked access from accounts when they detect random things.

Unless I meet their demands, my entire infra is gone/down for days, which I can't deal with.

I used Staticman for a couple of years and it worked fine. But GitHub changed their API policy which broke Staticman.

Also, spam is really hard to handle with this. I had to unplug Staticman from my site because of it.
No one is out there to help me (other than family). Everyone is trying to advance their own interests and wealth. Once I learned that this was true above all else, I started pushing my own life forward as opposed to waiting to be pushed.
Just talking about my side project here: a local server + ngrok is easier to use and cheaper than anything in the cloud.

In general, I would say any noncritical system I would host on-prem.
Dying at home, many of them. Excess mortality is way up, and it’s not all COVID-19:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/patients-with-heart-at...

> The possibility that patients may be suffering — and even dying — at home rather than going to a hospital led the American College of Cardiology to launch a “Cardiosmart” campaign last week, attempting to reassure a wary population and encourage those with symptoms to call 911 for urgent care and to continue routine appointments, through telemedicine when practical: “Hospitals have safety measures to protect you from infection,” it reads.

> “The emphasis here is safety,” said Harlan Krumholz, a cardiologist and health care researcher at Yale University and Yale New Haven Hospital, who advised on the campaign. “We want to make sure preventable deaths aren’t happening.”

> There is no pill, no action, no behavior, he said, that could account for the almost 40 percent drop in STEMI patients. “We don’t have a means to cut your risk in half,” he said. “Not even primary angioplasty or stopping smoking.”
Most of the time when I contribute to a GH project it works like this: I use the product, discover a bug, search on their GH, don’t find it, file a new bug report, clone the source fix the bug, submit PR, never commit to the same project again.

The threshold for doing that sort of minor work can be lowered a lot by this.
You are making the "digital natives don't need the crutch of physicality" argument.

Here's what tobiasandtobias had to say about that in their blog:

Even 'digital natives' live in the physical world. We start learning how it works before we ever touch a computer, and even the most dedicated nerd spends more time interacting with physical objects than with digital interfaces. It doesn't take additional learning to know that an object casting a shadow on another is in front of that other, for example. Failing to leverage that existing knowledge is tantamount to shutting down whole swathes of users' brains.

(The blog is no longer online unfortunately.)
The article addresses this. They expect fewer trauma patients as there are fewer people on the road, etc. but they expect the number of stroke, heart attack, etc. patients to remain constant, which hasn't been the case.
Influencer? INFLUENCER?

Go wash out your mouth with soap.

An influencer in this context is someone whose IG feed, had there been IG back in the day, would have told you to check the latest from this crazy German band from Dusseldorf.

Ralf & Florian weren't influencers, they were inventors, pioneers, ground breaking visionaries (even if they didn't know it themselves most of the time).
+1 on this. Get a nice server with some GPUs and you'd save a lot more than paying the super expensive costs on cloud.
We would need something like an X1 instance in terms of RAM, but it's hard to find something on AWS that has a well-tuned balance of RAM/CPU/disk for our needs. A lot of the big specialized instances are tuned for one particular limiting factor (RAM/GPU/storage/CPU/bandwidth/whatever) and I don't recall them having a good selection for "really big everything".

Amazon is constantly expanding the selection, so it's possible they've added something since we last seriously looked into this.
As a German, the idea that mass murder and high tech are different sides of the same coin has shaped my world view forever (after reading Dialectic of Enlightenment and On the Critique of Instrumental Reason).

In all likelihood, what matters is of you're going to overflow a packet boundary when the server presents certs.
Why does the Google Authenticator app have “obsolete” in its title? (2012)
Also, NTFS has very different (multi-file) ACID guarantees and transaction semantics compared to most POSIX file systems. A lot of performance differences between Windows and POSIX file APIs make some sense in a NoSQL versus SQL database analogy: they make very different guarantees about what the "atomic commit" level is, what is stored and how it is stored, what is locked and how and when it is locked. They both have great uses and there are trade-offs to both approaches, you can't always rely on the performance of an application built for one running performatively on top of the other.
I just want a version of captcha that isn't tied to my google account. This is particularly an issue on anonymous message boards like 4chan. If google wanted to, they could tie pretty much every 4chan post to a google account.
My local grocery store has a much smaller selection than Walmart for seemingly everything other than meat and cheese. Not surprising when the store is 1/10 the size. But they were way ahead of the curve on grocery delivery, they've been doing it decades.
I work in a kinda similar environment even if bigger.

To manage runtime dependencies we use cvmfs.

A read only distributed filesystems, kinda like a very specific NFS for software distribution.

If that is never been a problem, cvmfs it is quite stable and very used in our field.
I didn't read the actual publication but based on this article I think what they are essentially saying is that the cells were still functioning in the context of basic cell operation, but were no longer functioning as neurons. In which case the cells themselves weren't fully working either.
Microsoft is pushing for a future with dumb terminals and online services. I think this is just a move that gets them closer to the point where a low power tablet/laptop combo (surface like form factor) can be all that a developer needs to work.

There's a lot of reasons why Microsoft will want that, among them that if they can sell a solution that works in cheap terminals, they can tie corporate customers into their bubble by selling them services that allows them to avoid buying hardware for their employees.

I'm not saying that being wary of Microsoft's ownership of your code isn't warranted, I'm just saying there are probably less shady/convoluted reasons why this kind of product benefits them - Occam's razor, etc.
The Psychedelic Animated Video for Kraftwerk’s “Autobahn” from 1979 (2016)
[IANAD] Diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular issues are among the frequent issues in serious covid cases. If covid is that widespread as some studies suggests, may it be that covid triggers the hospitalization earlier than the heart attack/stroke/etc. would have happened to that person otherwise. US heart attack rate is 2K/day, ie. on a scale of covid deaths and significantly less than covid hospitalizations.

Some other factors to consider - much cleaner air these days, no traffic/noise/rush and associated stress, and you can even hear birds singing through the day. Personally i find it very relaxing to not spend the days in our tightly packed badly air-conditioned to the point of serious sweating (our BigCo. is very big about its "green" energy saving chops) horrendously lit (those lights burn the eyes and make bright spot reflections on monitor, and the half-transparent blinds kill when afternoon Sun gets into those windows) "collaboration and communication stimulating" (read - very stressful) very modern open floor office.
> the technology was shockingly advanced ... we were blown away

This is a very impressive step on the road, but this kind of hyperbole always sets off my Segway early-warning-system.
We are renting a small flat in London. We would barely afford a mortgage on it despite my income being twice of a nation average.My landlord bought it in 2001 for a price that is less than a half of its today's value,adjusted to inflation. So back then,you could buy it even with a modest income,while now you need to either own a business or be a director to be able to do so.
Hmm, that's interesting because that would suggest that if somebody declines advertising cookies then you can't serve them ads via Adsense at all... which would be an odd decision by Google.
Yeah, I had the opportunity to try it out as well and was impressed. I just wish there were more staying power in features like that. DeX is nice too but again we run a risk of the company shutting it down due to a lack of users.
It’s telling that they went with VScode and not Atom. Makes me wonder what the long term outlook for Atom is.
The ecconmics of airplanes is different and do not apply. Here you want enough people paying for the cheap service that it makes money so they don't kill it. There is no advantage to a class of service that doesn't pay for itself in this space, you just move up to the next one.

Actually the worst thing would be most people choosing this as they may decide that the cheaper class isn't worth serving at all.
It's a neat idea and I like the mindset, but the research is very likely false.

You and your team deserve it and much more!! Actually love how you put things in one place. The API documentation is a good example. Rather not have to search around and go from page-to-page searching for things; feels like a feature to me;)

This is what I'm talking about. Responsive communication from all levels. And not just because it's HN and "like we gotta look good now because we announced something." Responsiveness has be consistent and the baseline throughout my involvement with Matrix as an organization and a community.

Also really appreciated the full workup on the latest release. Know with developing like 15+ applications is hard enough, getting information out to the community in a thorough way is such a heavy burden on top of all the other work going on.

Few questions -- Any timeline on when:

* account-password/backup-key-passphrase will be consolidated (end-of-summer possibly -- fingers crossed);

* ‘trust on first use’ (TOFU) will be integrated;

Think those two features will be important for improving UX.

Also, encrypted search via Seshat: Simply, YESSS!!
"ringmail" comes to mind, as well as "bend the knee".
that's the rub.

every AI sound/word/picture editor i've ran into says something along the lines of "we're releasing this data set to help stay secure in this day and age of easy counterfeiting of X.", but they never really mention how you apply the data in an adversarial way against itself -- they just sort of hand-wave that part.

Same with fake AI generated Obama video and sound, and earlier data-set generated chatbots; it's plastered all over the projects things like "Since these methods are available we think that it's important that this data is disseminated so that other's can use it to validate real world data sources", but again -- how?

We have the real data, we have the fake data -- how is this diff done, exactly?

I'm willing to bet it isn't as easy as all the AI researchers who release this stuff claim it may be.
Fairly sure the country as a whole is more stressed. Economy and media at least portray that.

There’s plenty of steady states between looting and universal abundance in which the landlords have abused their power to trick tenants into accepting to remain in a parasitical relationship.
You not have overlooked these details when you read the article:

> One study collected data from nine hospitals across the country, focusing on a crucial procedure used to reopen a blocked cardiac artery after a heart attack. The hospitals performed 38% fewer of those procedures in March, compared with previous months.

> At Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, Dr. Malveeka Sharma has tracked a 60% decline in stroke admissions in the first half of April compared with the previous year

This is the most challenging edge case, for sure. But if I may proffer:

It should never come to any of these things. "It's never personal" doesn't mean you put up with unacceptable behavior, nor blame yourself. If some sociopath decides to fling emotional abuse my way, he gets called out on it. Not because it's an attack and I will defend myself (both of which are true, at the limbic system level) but because in the end, my personal integrity requires it: I wouldn't treat others this way, I won't be treated this way, I wouldn't be an idle witness to somebody receiving similar abuse, there are healthy ways of resolving conflict, etc. In this way, it's fully de-personalized: it's not about him, or me, but the values which I'm always free to choose and reaffirm.

The fact that they may make it personal, make it about you -- that's a further reflection of how impersonal it is for them. The psych term is projection, but you don't need to concern yourself with their diagnosis.

There's a reason I paired the "it's never personal" quote with the "you train others how to treat you" quote. The latter is a reminder of your own agency.

Dealing with a sociopath or narcissist is, in some ways, easier. Their behavior is so uncooperative, they immediately forfeit the privilege of your empathy. They clearly have had a terrible emotional upbringing to even arrive at a point where they would so freely treat another person like this. And that's the point: it's not personal, they're just... a fairly broken human being.

People this broken, they can't hide broadcasting their brokenness from a mile away. It makes it easier for you to know who to keep at arm's length with minimal trust.

It'd be interesting if the quarantine from the coronavirus has also quarantined us from the ravages and stresses of day to day life, leading to improved cardiovascular outcomes.

Does anyone know if WinUI will be supported on .Net Core or since it is C++, just a linux library.

The article listed several languages but omitted F#. So I also wonder about the F# story for WinUI.

A lot of people don’t have insurance. You can’t go to a doctor for a $150 appointment without insurance. But you can go to the ER when it gets really bad for a $2000 appointment (which you don’t pay. May go to court against you but if you are poor, they won’t collect)
PhD student/researcher. Most of the compute I do are HPC/scientific computing style and run on University or US National Lab machines. We thought about cloud, but the interconnect (MPI-style code) is very important for us and it's not very clear to me what's available there in the cloud.
Has the site been hugged to death or has my government decided I'm not allowed to browse such filth?
Doctors in California went on strike and mortality dropped.

One reason for the drop may be due to elective surgeries not being performed. And since more people at staying at home in a safe environment, due to COVID there will be fewer accidents. And far fewer medical mistakes too, not COVID related.

"Why Do Patients Stop Dying When Doctors Go on Strike?"

My personal take on this based on statistics and observation is that many medical procedures are not very effective.

Or trade short term risk, for long term benefit.
Eg. Those that survive a bypass surgery may live longer. But it will shorten the life of those that it kills.
Chemo therapy can kill you immediately, but if you survive the procedure, it may have also killed the cancer that then will increase your life expectancy.

I also think many medical procedures are not really changing the course of the disease.
And being in a hospital is inherently risky. You are exposing yourself to other very sick people, and possible human errors in treatment.

ITs easy to fool yourself into thinking that what you are doing is having an effect. Consider the thousands of football fans in stadiums thinking they are changing the course of the game with cheering or booing.
That's an unusual situation that probably isn't relevant here. The way that tetanus vaccines work is that they cause the immune system to destroy the extraordinarily neurotoxic tetanospasmin toxin. It's impossible to get a natural immune response because, as the article points out, anyone with enough of it to trigger an immune response is dead. Coronaviruses triggers immunity just fine, the immunity just doesn't last and we don't really know why.
It would be nice if there were a service where people could write their comments and have them expire after, say 24 hours, but the blogger could run a script which downloads them before that happens. By having a local copy of the comments, the blogger could check them and include the approved ones into their static content.

Each comment would be associated with a salted hash based on either an IP address (for anonymous comments) or an account on a social login provider (like Google or Facebook). By default, a user could only post 1 comment every 24 hours, but the blogger could then publish a whitelist of people who are exempt from that restriction.

If this were an open standard, then the blogger could switch their comment provider at a moment's notice, without losing any data.
Social security could be run more like the large sovereign wealth funds, CalPERS, or as (possibly restricted) private savings accounts. The account statements make Social Security appear to be a private account system, even though it's not true.

I doubt any of these alternatives are politically viable, and I am not sure they are all necessarily better, just suggesting that there are alternatives.
This question is on my wavelength.

Getting an all-ECC chain EV cert that is published to the CT logs is dang near impossible. I spent a couple of months of back and forth with DigiCert over the last 2.5 years or so trying to get one, but they were never able to issue one despite trying and having the correct roots and intermediates in place to do this. I feel this is one of those situations where their software simply couldn't handle this edge case, and I was not important enough to escalate to a manual process.

The benefit to an all ECC chain (including an ECC root) is not just size. There is a some small amount of time and energy especially on mobile devices on first load when validating ECC signatures compared to RSA 4096 signatures of the intermediate and client cert (the signatures are bigger too). Granted, it is cached after that, but collectively if I have 10 million sessions per month that's real time and energy wasted.
I think many people go through life uncurious about why an idea occurs to them, why they have a certain preference, why something makes them feel a certain emotion.

The subconscious, for all its mysteries, offers the best chance of understanding the underlying forces that motivate our thoughts and behaviors. Realizing this and developing a curiosity about the reasons for my own thoughts and behaviors has totally changed my life for the better.

The tale of the man who wanted to know what the torah meant in TL;DR form. Various rabbis chased him off for asking until he came to rabbi Hillel who told him "That which is repugnant to you do not to to others. That is the whole of the torah".

There are many forms of that[0] but for some reason this one stayed with me strongest despite being an atheist.

[0] At the other end of the scale but just as fine: "Be excellent to each other!"

Plus, the Windows team itself uses git day-to-day now and it would be silly for Windows developers to spin up Linux VMs to git commit on the Windows Kernel. (Windows being source controlled in git has contributed directly and indirectly to a lot of git performance upgrades/tweaks in the last couple of years, including and especially to git running well natively on Windows.)
I don't think I've ever seen a more overt straw man. At least try to be a little sneaky about it, will you?
In such practices your mind and body are 'not you' they are just the expression which can be materially perceived, as a shadow of the 'greater you'. It's less obvious in Abrahamic traditions as they use different words, but it's there as well.

A 'life-changing insight' can just be figuring that one out, which is odd because it's conceptually simple enough a child could totally get it. For some people it's innate, for some it's a 'revelation' for some they never get (or even try to get) that perspective.
Mostly. Cloud is just bin packing compute and data storage. There are many use cases where it’s cheaper for you to host the hardware you cloud on instead of a public cloud provider.

Typical strategy. You provide a good and cheap product until you reach a relative majority of a market and customer lock-in, then quietly slow down on the free improvements and start extracting money from the users.
If you have an accident in a hospital they don't send you to the ER department.
