Hi. I've been using Notion for all my paperwork and often times I wanted a simple stopwatch for timing my activity. Unfortunately Notion doesn't currently have anything like that but it embeds other URLs quite nicely, and that's when it hit me; I could make something and embed it on my documents.

Fits well also for full-screen display, large or small.
> Does Russian alphabet have Є letter?

This should resolve your confusion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_Ye#Old_Slavonic.2C_O...

I believe, U+0415 ("E") is a valid character to use there. Sadly, there's no way to denote that the text is in Old Slavonic and should use different script so this "E" would be rendered visually similar to "Є".

While Unicode code points typically correspond to graphemes, that's not always true. Similar issues exist with Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages, as Unicode (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_unification#Graphemes_vers... - it has an example with Latin small letter "a")
This one generates a character and a plot: https://www.thiswaifudoesnotexist.net/
I'm having trouble understanding what point is being made. Netflix entire business is shipping bulk data, I imagine the cost of transcoding and media management to be a rounding error in that grand scheme.

Switching costs.

If the things are offered free, and you build a lot of it into your system, and now it costs money, you have to choose between paying that money, or paying a potentially high switching cost to move to a different system.

If you had known you were going to be faced with those costs, you may never have bought into the system in the first place.
The resources are trivial. If you don't like it you don't have to use the app that you chose to install.

Yes. But this article is about the browser called Firefox, not the rendering engine called Gecko. It is somehow common for HN commenters to conflate these two, or think that the rendering engine is the "soul" of the browser, a view I do not agree with.
People know that you didn't likely give that title to yourself. Some companies inflate their titles for various reasons (e.g. recruiting, marketing, ...). You could always qualify your experience by explaining what you accomplished. How many people and in what roles did you manage? What projects did you deliver? How much money did you make or at least how much went through your business unit? Hard facts cannot be seen as lies or puffery.
I’d expect them to hand more precise control back to the user as the pointer slows down.
I don't think you can make excuses for UberEats or whatever. Food delivery is not a new problem. I have been ordering pizza and Chinese food for more than 2 decades. It is very rare when we received cold pizza. And most of the time when it happened resturants proactively refunded us or gave coupons for another time.

It is kind of amazing how many times UberEats, GrubHub, etc deliver cold food. Not just for me but vast majority of my friends report same thing.

As a consumer, I rather get refund so bad companies can go bankrupt before becoming too big to fail.
Thanks for the heads up! This came up earlier and I replied there:

I attended a live Kraftwerk show about 17 years ago, what amazed me was the depth of the lyrics in German vs the simplified English lyrics.

Kraftwerk is more political than the simplistic English lyrics would portray. It was then that I had new found appreciation for their craft. Praxis.
Who are you getting your bandwidth from?
The problem with the question is that it reduces an infinite dimensional space (all the things you could have thought about the movie) into a single scalar value. Your mind is likely to be preoccupied with performing that projection which is fundamentally uninteresting.

It’s like asking “Is the pharmaceutical industry good or bad?” vs. “How should the pharmaceutical industry participate in society over the next 20 years?”

I think that without tipping, you can expect your food to be delivered cold and late every order.
>Having a government full of technical lot illiterate politicians regulating digital advertisement - what could possibly go wrong.

I'm not sure that argument works.

If we expand a bit, It wouldn't be difficult to find that governments are mostly comprised of <industry> illiterate politicians. There is no need for a government to be comprised of digital advertisement industry specialists in order to pass meaningful industry regulation.

I used to work at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Their flagship computational chemistry application. NWChem, is developed mostly by their own employees. They also collaborate with researchers from other national labs and academia. Development started in the 1990s. When I was at the lab, it was free-as-in-beer but required onerous licensing agreements to get a copy of the source code. It has been open source since 2007. It has started using github to coordinate development in the last few years.

Diclofenaco Sodico: Quando não devo usar?
Back in the day of USENET, readers typically had kill files, and it was quite easy for each user to arrange for items they didn't care about to be elided (based on author, keyword, etc.). Not unlike this.

I'd kill for a general form of that that worked uniformly on sites like HN, reddit, etc., and perhaps random forums, comment sections, and so on. The new interfaces are nice in many ways, but that was a true killer feature, and it's pretty much lost.
Are you willing at all to consider the models were flawed and shelter in place is only delaying deaths a few months?

I've been using a mouse on my 2016 iPad 9.7" iPad for a few days now. Here are my thoughts:

- Anything related to selecting or copying text is improved, including web browsing.

- Sometimes right click brings up context menus and sometimes 'long left click' brings up context menus. Sometimes both work but with different options.

- I would like to change the cursor to an arrow pointer.

- I would like to change the scrolling direction (it's the opposite of Windows).

- Scrolling doesn't feel smooth, many people report different scrolling issues.

- You can assign different actions to different mouse buttons, this has made multitasking more efficient for me.
Yep. Got bitten HARD by this recently, $1.5k inter-az transfer charges that we never saw coming.

A web page is for presenting structured text with embedded media, and optionally associated—and user-replaceable—style information.

A web page does not need direct or even indirect access to your GPU, and it does not need to run a Turing-complete language.
I've found that Kubernetes mostly solves this problem. I say mostly because for AI/ML workloads that require GPUs, we still rely on running things on bare metal locally, and deploying with GKE's magic annotations and Deep Learning images. But for anything else, I haven't had an issue going all in on k8s at the beginning, even with very small teams.

> Chickenpox is not one-and-done. If you catch chickenpox, the virus remains latent and can manifest itself as Shingles.

The boils covering your entire body is one and done. Shingles is far less severe by comparison (my sister had it in high school and it was just a painful rash on her side that went away after a few weeks- and yes, it was definitely confirmed to be zoster despite her young age) and only reactivates in a small percentage of people who had chickenpox. Shingles kills basically no one compared to chickenpox.

> The danger of letting the coronavirus run rampant is severely understated by our complete inability to control it right now.

There's tons of evidence suggesting the mortality rate is way over-estimated right now and the amount of total cases is way higher than the number of confirmed cases due to people getting it and showing very few, if no, symptoms. This is nothing like the black plague. Hardly anyone is dying, even in places without shelter in place.

Whoa. Excellent website. Thank you so much.
I'm not going to say that there aren't advantages, but when you start doing anything non-trivial with system configuration you'll find that the "infrastructure as code" approach also involves a large amount of work. Having done plenty of both in my career I don't think it's fair to say that IaC is at all less time consuming than traditional system administration. The advantages it comes with can also pretty easily come out to a wash if you don't plan around to some extent.

I guess what I'm saying is that, just like "cloud means cost savings" doesn't necessarily pan out, "cloud means time savings" also doesn't necessarily pan out. The best strategy continues to depend on your strengths, the application, etc.
ya'll honestly be overreacting.
They announced developer productivity analytics in the same keynote as they announced codespaces. It's not just coming, it's here!

Funny enough, after introducing the analytics stuff, they started the next section by showing that the more code you write the more security vulnerabilities you have.

Which is it, Github? Do I want to stay on top of your SLOC leaderboards so my manager doesn't fire me? Or does writing the most lines mean I introduced the most vulnerabilities so my manager should fire me? The answer depends on which product github is trying to sell you at that very moment.
Ouch. Not knowing how the iOS apps are written, two questions come to mind:

1) Why wasn’t the SDK written to tolerate bad data and fail gracefully?

2) Could clients integrating the SDK be written to tolerate failures like this?

I'm one of two IT persons at a food processor, in a small town. Despite living in an area where a majority of IT & Programmers work at the hospital or an insurance company, my boss has run our own networks and servers since the days of Novell, and we continue to run Windows servers on-premise, instead of the cloud. It does lead to interesting situations, like finding out a Dell server shrieking next to you is running max fan speed because the idrac is not connected.

Neither of us have any experience with the cloud, whereas we have a lot of Microsoft experience. We still rely on OEM licenses of Office, because Office 365 would be 3x or more expensive. We have a range of Office 2019, 2016, 2013 OEM, and we get audited by them nearly every year.

We use LastPass, Dropbox and Github, but only the basic features, and LastPass was an addition last year after someone got into our network through a weak username/password.

In our main location, we have three ESX boxes, running several virtual servers, and then we have a physical server for our domain controller, file sharing and DHCP, DNS in other locations. We also switched to a physical server for our new ERP application server, which hasn't yet been rolled out.

Projects like upgrading our ERP version can take months, but we have a local consulting team, with a specialist in our particular ERP solution, as well as a Server and Network specialist, and we also have a very close relationship with our ISP, who provides WAN troubleshooting.

Our IT budget is small relative to our company revenue, so most cloud proposals would raise our costs manyfold. We continue to use more services like Github and Lastpass, and we both have multiple hats.

I'm a developer, in-house app support, Email support, HR systems support, ERP support, PC setup, and I run our Data Synchronization operation and my boss runs EDI. I do a lot of PowerShell and Task Scheduler, but I've got familiar with bash through git bash.
According to a comment way up top, yes to the species: scalies and ponies were excluded to keep it relatively simple for StyleGAN to work with.
I feel like I'm in the minority here -- but I don't understand the problem.

Software developers want to know whether their existing marketing methods are effective. The FB SDK helps with this. You always have the choice to not install the app (if you don't want to).

This also helps developers make sure their marketing is effective and reaching the right people, which seems like a win-win to me.
'shit into the inbox'? jesus do you only like emails from your mother?
> This is a tooling problem that I'm convinced can be solved. We need a ubiquitous, open-source, cloud-like platform that developers can use to get started on day 1, hosting from home if desired. That software platform should not have to change when the company needs increased reliability or better air conditioning for their servers. If its a Wordpress blog or a minecraft server or a petabyte SQL database - the Vendor should be a secondary choice to making things.

This is the intent of Kubernetes. Not that I particularly like it.
Because rural life is fundamentally economically inefficient, so they can't pay more. Transportation and overhead is too expensive. It only works if its subsidized by altruism of the urban economy, or a huge portion of locals learn the skills for themselves.
I use VPN and Privacy Badger + UBlock origin in Firefox containers (I use google in it's own container). I swear Google hardcoded this particular setup to go to the shit-list. I'm sick of buses, bikes and traffic lights. Wrote a lot of angry emails about reCAPTCHA to local government agencies and services for which I'm a logged in and I'm a paying fucking customer.
The thing I dislike the most about other people is often something I do myself.

So when dealing with any people-related issues, the first thing I do is reflect if it's something I do myself.

If it is, then I try to determine if its something I like about myself; if I like it, I try not letting it bother me again; if I don't like it, I change it.

I worked for a famous large tech company that makes both hardware and software. On stuff that runs on customer datacenters.

There are plenty of companies that run their infrastructure to keep their data secure and accessible.

It's not the type of companies that blog about their infra or are popular on HN. Banks and financial institutions, telcos, airlines, energy production, civil infrastructure.

Critical infrastructure need to survive events larger than a datacenter outage. FAANGs don't protect customers from legal threats, large political changes, terrorist attacks, war.

We have a few thousand apps on the App Store and got bit by this today.

The SDK is very useful for a smooth login experience if the user has the Facebook app installed, because your app can offer Facebook as a login option, then just pop the user over to the Facebook app, they can tap “okay” (or whatever), and jump back to your app.

That said, we’re going to rip this thing out of our apps ASAP. No framework should be calling network code in “+load”. The convenience for the user (and the dirty tracking Facebook apparently does) is just not worth the trade-off of handing our app’s stability over to Facebook.
You would not stagger it like that.

My suspicion is that the lay off got leaked and it forced the company’s hand. They are probably scrambling to get everything finalized ASAP.

And eng lay-off requires more planning than customer support lay-off

I appreciate your comment and links (BTW, I'm slightly familiar with NWChem and similar software :-). Having said that, I'm not sure how your comment addresses my question. You are talking about internally-developed software transfer from the lab to external users, whereas my use case is delivering externally-developed commercial software to national labs' users, a value transfer in the opposite direction. Care to comment on this aspect, if you're familiar with relevant procurement processes?

Same here - CTO of medium sized company.

Our IT infra costs are 1/10th the cost of cloud, simply because I happen to be comfortable having on-premise machine and working on them (sometime myself).

We have two dozen servers in two locations. It's more time to setup, but maintenance is actually quite low.
People are failing to seek treatment for the acute life-threatening emergencies they are almost certainly still having. It’s good that they’ve been convinced of the seriousness of COVID-19, but not that they view the threat of potential infection in the hospital as more serious than an actually-occurring heart attack or stroke.
So glossing this over - no real numbers -- how fast is it?
I wonder if we need instead of a "big fat cookie jar" browsers should support authentication natively (i.e. they are aware that this is authentication, not that just there is some cookie called "session") and then we depreciate cookies entirely.

Now that the auth headers are known about, they can be treated as such and expired based on user preferences, but by default after 24h. There can be an alert "google.com has logged you in and now knows who you are until you log out".

Auth headers are then only sent for a single origin, so no scripts to track you around the web anyway.

The cookie workaround for those that need to genuinely use them are 1. session feature mentioned above - tie to that on the server side and 2. stick something in the URL and then keep tracking that via links, like most SPAs do anyway.

Want to do analytics? Anonymous-ish pixel or server logs.

Local storage is another issue, that should be permission based. (+ any other dodgy web apis).

Someone might say, what about a site you don't log into but needs to remember your prefence? A. Easy local storage, and it will ask for permissions AWS style e.g. "enter the name of the site to agree ____"

Maybe get rid of UA string?
