Reading stuff like this gets me hopeful that https://github.com/obsidiansystems/obelisk/ (from where I work) will be able to reach a wider audience. The author is right that the React ecosystem doesn't deliver what it claims to, but I think is overly pessimistic that the use-cases he describes are too diverse to be solved by a single solution.
You can just run i3 (or any other desktop environment) inside WSL with X server integration. That's similar to what I do.

The point of the saying is that, try as we might to secure the devices, they can be compromised by someone with physical access (and the right knowledge and tools) in essentially all cases. It is not meant to discourage you from using the best security measures available ON the device, but rather to point out that the only way to truly have physical security is to maintain control OF the device.
I'm actually more of the opinion that a lot of backend is bikeshedding! Branding and UI/UX design are very important for emotionally influencing a customer's opinion or improving their user experience with your product. On the backend, how often are the any different than some cross set of options from:

* synchronous CRUD
* async data flow
* bidirectional realtime messaging (message in the "data packet" sense)
* search

Most products are not serving traffic that is large enough or solving a computational problem that distinct enough to not be covered by some off the shelf combination of the above. We just haven't figured out how to make these different solutions composable on the backend. Over the next 10 years I think we're going to see more and more codeless SaaS services, like Webflow for the backend.
Thanks man! Very helpful answer. Really appreciate it as later on this year I will be on the market for this.
Do they really save us time?

What about if you used a mature back end framework such a Rails, Django or Laravel for 95% of your app. And then vue or react for the 5% that rally needs it? Would this be more or less productive?
Sorry to keep laboring the point :-) but the other reason I'm pretty sure this is a client bug is that the client doesn't truncate the returned file at the end of the short read, which you'd expect if it actually was treating short read as EOF.

If you copy a 100mb file and the server returns a short read somewhere in the middle of the read stream the file size on the client is still reported as 100mb, which means file corruption as the data in the client copy isn't the same as what was on the server.

That's how this ended up getting reported to us in the first place.
The market is pricing in the Fed buying equities if it gets too bad. The market consensus is that there could be 30% unemployment but ATH prices in the S&P 500 because of the Fed buying. If the Fed refuses to do this, then reality will set in for the market.
I feel like that name is going to cause the kid a lot of headaches with web forms and applying for things.
They way I would describe it is that 3-way ties are very stable. Backstabbing to get into a 3-way tie is certainly considered fair game and there should be no hard feelings among experienced players.

But not respecting the 3-way is a whole other thing. 2-way ties are extremely tricky, so eliminating the third player will usually result in a solo win, often with the third player throwing in to punish the perceived aggressor.

So experienced players do tend to play for the 3-way and will only work with others that they know will respect the 3-way draw. On the other hand, solo wins are wicked fun and one solo win is worth ten 3-way ties (even though tournament scoring and other rankings don't reflect that fact.)

EDIT: I should add that there is one other dynamic that comes into play, and that is that 4-way draws are really frowned on by many players. A larger player with a smaller ally that stays "loyal" to their small partner can force the elimination of a medium size power that would otherwise have participated in the draw and that can upset the apple cart, possibly in the larger player's favor. But this strategy is pretty transparent and is usually unsuccessful among better players.
These are mitigations, they’re designed to slow down an attack by someone who has physical access to the machine. In many ways they’re a bit like a finely designed padlock; none are ever going to stop a skilled lock pick, but they can slow them down enough to make an attach impractical.
The burden of proof is on the person claiming the widespread organ failure. I can't provide a study saying it doesn't happen because there's not studies saying it does happen for those studies to debunk :)

But, here's one group of case reports that is commonly held up as evidence of the supposed strokes in young people / widespread organ failure / etc:

"Large-Vessel Stroke as a Presenting Feature of Covid-19 in the Young" - https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2009787?query=rec...

I think the Linux kernel is crap, for what it's worth. That's not to say there isn't very smart people solving very complicated problems with it. But it is a monolith with a egomaniac in charge. This view is not solely my own.
I dislike when an article 'interprets' the result from a research but I see the appeal. However I was curious and found this excerpt from the research about the sample size and statistic that I found very relevant and important:

Mean overall age was 54.5 years, mean age for expired cases was 65.2 years, higher compared to active cases (46.3 years). Of the 780 sample, majority (58.8%) aged below 50 years, most of the them (83.0%) are still admitted in the hospital. Of the 321 samples aged 50 years and above, majority (66.6%) died due to the disease. Females (51.3%) outnumbered males (48.7%); however, there were more male cases who died (66.6%) than female (33.4%). Patients with existing condition (84.9%) comprised majority of the death cases.

Interestingly, majority of the cases had normal Vitamin D status (49.7%), most of them (93.0%) are still hospitalized. Of the 213 cases with insufficient Vitamin D status, majority (49.1%) died. The same distribution was observed in Vitamin D deficient cases where majority (46.7%) died due to the disease.

Do we just never hear the other side (because there's too many of them and they're too poor to get published)?

There's a lot of people who say their parents wished they "left a mark" or did something in this world besides enjoying living.

My uncle died of cancer, it took all of 8 months (he likely had it for a while by the time they found it). It was horrible for him.

By now, I have about 5 people I knew who just died suddenly or very fast, including one who killed themselves. Life is short and unfair, there's no time for negative emotions like hate, feeling sorry for yourself, regretting stuff imo. Just enjoy whatever life you have.
You don't technically have to disclose internal mods to all employees because everyone is part of a single legal entity and no binary distribution occurs.
Thanks man for your helpful reply!! Probably at the end of the year I'll get my hands on any of these.

GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government spending + Net exports [0]

The investment component is dependent on companies' expectations about consumption (or other companies' investment, or government spending) in the future, and obviously the net export component depends on consumption in other countries. So in that sense the ~70% [1] due to direct consumption understates the true importance of consumer spending to GDP.

I use to think that a well crafted custom cover letter totally gives me a leg up on the competition. But recently, I've been gettin lazy and not sending cover letters and I still get responses. Go figure.
At Kennedy Space Center, the Space Shuttle simulation was pretty amazing. I believe the trick was to make us think we were sitting at rest at a 90 degree angle, when in fact it must have been less, such that when the shuttle did take off in the simulation the seat made an even higher angle (+ shaking). And the sudden lowering of the angle (when engine cuts off and we're supposed to float) was a pretty damn amazing illusion too. I definitely recommend it.
Any experiences of building Android apps by just generating code from your favourite productive language on the desktop? Any ideas if this would be a better target than Java for that?
France did quite well after killing the aristocracy. Most 'communist' nations on the other hand did a lot more than kill the rich and take their wealth. Compared to the vast economic, social and political changes that happened in Soviet Russia or China etc., it seems that the part about what happened to the rich is unlikely to be very consequential in its impact.
I want to hear a war story of someone starting from a React bug report, reducing it to pure JS, fighting through the Chrome build process, isolating the v8 JIT bug, producing a patch, and going on to a successful compiler career.
Why do you think that? Rust and C++ are reasonably close in performance.
My attitude to stories like this is simply that you can't live under the assumption that you'll die early from some freak cause. It would be a non-functional state of life, sacrificing all long term objectives.

At the end of the day all any of us can do is play the odds, and sometimes while playing X-Com that 99% chance-to-hit point blank shot by your most experienced soldier with the best equipment simply misses.

Ask HN: How do you disable animations and transitions on web pages?
As a user, disabling JS takes care of pointless animations and transitions on web pages, but we need JS for other tasks. Plus, sometimes CSS is the culprit.

It's weird that browsers don't have this option built in. My 2015 MBP has difficulty loading a bunch of useless animations when I hover or click on things.

There's an extension for FF that takes care of CSS animations, but I'm looking for something Chrome-friendly and more general.
Popular Database Implementations in Go
ISTM you need to strike the right balance. The ideal is that you have a static site and fetch data using JS -- this is good because it's simple. Most pages don't have a lot of data, and if there is data and its dynamic, then JS is needed to make the app responsive. On the other hand, if you have content that you could be fetching using JS but it's desirable to have it rendered every time you land on the page, then yeah, you want to render it server-side.
Org mode looks great, thanks for calling my attention to it. For anyone looking for a brief introduction, they have a compact guide[1] on their site that took me a minute to find.

It looks great for coders who are ready to learn new syntax. Though what I'd really like to avoid with Margin is anything that makes the language more complex than it needs to be.

For example, org mode defines headlines as:

The headlines in Org start with one or more stars, on the left margin. For example:
* Top level headline
** Second level
*** Third level

With Margin, there's no concept of a "headline." For the thinker, the headline could be represented by any level of the plain text hierarchical tree. And the thinker would then be free to choose (or conform to) any Margin-based app that corresponds with their model. In other words, it works best however you want to use it.

I had something working a while ago for YT ad blocking in chromecast; the underlying problem there is that the chromecast is hard-coded to use Google's DNS servers (8.8.8.8, etc) instead of your networks. So you need to set up your network to intercept DNS requests to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and instead send these to your own ad-blocked DNS server. My network setup no longer lets me do this, and I don't care enough to make it work.

Just pay for YT premium if you don't want ads (to all those people complaining about wanting an option to pay and not be tracked/advertised to/etc - this is a great opporunity to put your money where your mouth is)
SOL does indeed mean "Sun", but was actually an acronym for "Simple Object Language". It in turn was the successor to DEL (defined as a "dialog specification language", but that would be DSL in English or LED in Portuguese so I haven't figured that out). Anyway, having an acronym that is also a relevant word or name is a popular thing to do.

The Wolfram Language is named after the author. The closest to that I can think of is Algol-W by Niklaus Wirth and Tony Hoare (that is if the W is for Wirth at all, which I couldn't verify). Are there any other cases?
I played a game of Diplomacy online where people started doctoring photos of texts and sending them to each other to spread misinformation. I started only collaborating with people over phone calls and told everyone I would not be making any strategies over text, so I could have plausible deniability about any fake photos.
This is the real reason he is stuck.

> "He added that because India did not give Ziebat a visa due to his criminal background — criminal offences are taken into consideration when assessing individual visa cases in India — he remains unauthorised to leave the airport’s transit area. In India, an international passenger can normally stay in transit for just one day, and requires Indian visa to step out of this designated space for travellers passing through the country. The officer added that Ziebat has also not formally applied for an Indian visa."
Sorry, one more note because I'm currently trying to write a parser for this. You should specify very specifically what characters are ignored in the beginnings and ends of lines. I would strongly suggest using UTF-8 values to specify them, too, since that's nice and unambiguous. Include in that set of ignored characters exactly what whitespace characters you are choosing to ignore, even if it's just spaces and/or tabs. There are lots of whitespace characters. Lots.

One issue with ambiguity now is that you specify that "dashes" are ignored, even though (I assume) you probably meant "hyphens". Using UTF-8 would solve that.

Also, you might consider adding "+" the set of ignored characters. It's frequently used for lists. Just something to think about.

EDIT: I should probably start filing these as issues on your github

Ok - maybe I’m exaggerating a bit. I’m sure some of them don’t “make it.” Someone is staffing those food vans.

Perhaps but then you will kick yourself the first time you want to give a customer or business partner access to your modifications. Unforeseen business needs or opportunities can always make you need to distribute a tool you previously thought would only be internal. I'm not saying this is a slam-dunk reason to not use GPL tools, but I'm just pointing out that there is a legitimate worry here that is not fully alleviated by your point.

>It's less cost effective (from a pure business perspective)

Perhaps it's because we live in a rural area, but my kids and I talk about this a lot. For example... our area is a major onion producer. But guess what? In our major national chain grocery store right now you'll find onions from Vidalia, Georgia - trucked from the other side of the country.

Our area also produces a lot of wheat, that then gets shipped 4 and 5 hours away to two major cities with large commercial bakeries, who then put the loaves of bread on trucks and ship the bread back to our local stores. Now granted, those loaves of bread get sent to lots of other places too, so I'm not discounting that there may be an efficiency overall, but nonetheless there is a local irony... once upon a time every town in this area had a local butcher, baker, creamery, etc - and now instead we produce the raw produce here and it comes back to us as value-added good from elsewhere.

Hi HN, just wondering how others approach the balance between engineering and pre-sales work. Should we hire a technical pre-sales engineer or is it expected for senior engineers to do pre-sales work?
I've been playing on a GTX 1070 just fine. It's not at the highest settings but it still looks amazing.

I have a Honeycomb Alpha Flight Yoke and a plethora of Logitech gear for everything else (throttle quad until Honeycomb drops their own, rudder pedals, and some super basic avionics). I bought all this just for 2020 and it has worked great so far.

The yoke is pricey @ $250 USD but it is completely worth it. The build quality is phenomenal. Better than any real yoke I've ever used, plus it has a lot of basic switches already on it that replicate a small GA aircraft faithfully.

The US poverty rate is very misleading. It’s not the percent of people in poverty. It’s the percentage of people below a level of income at which not being impoverished is impossible.
Education isn’t enough on its own for social proof. I know because I thought it would be. I couldn’t get a job to save my life after college even with UW on my resume.

Also, education is wildly localized. Turns out SV doesn’t care about anyone except those from UCB and Stanford (big emphasis on Stanford). Same with UW. Outside of Seattle, no one even knows about it. (I should know - I went there)

Maybe prestigious colleges are more well regarded outside of the Bay Area - at least here, everyone and their mother went to an Ivy League or similar.
I wonder if the same method could be used to write Android Apps only with Rust?
Interest Rates for very secure debt is essentially zero, but future corporate profit expectations are uncertain, so there would be some non-zero risk premium applied in the rate used for determining their present value.
One argument I've heard before is that GCC's architecture is intentionally designed to make it difficult to extend GCC or integrate it into other tools such as IDEs, because that sort of modularlization could enable interoperability with non-GPL software. I'm not sure whether this argument has any merit, but see e.g. this email from ESR: https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc/2014-01/msg00209.html

Edit: that email from ESR cites a talk from an LLVM developer which goes into more detail about this argument and about a lot of the architectural differences between GCC and LLVM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqN15lrADlE. I'm not sure how up-to-date this is though, as it looks like it was recorded in 2012.

At least in the Apple ecosystem, the results of LLVM certainly spoke for themselves. Immediately after hiring Chris Lattner and adopting LLVM, Apple's developer experience began to improve massively in a very short time, coming out with automatic reference counting, Objective-C 2.0, the Clang static analyzer, live syntax checking and vastly improved code completion, bitcode, Metal shaders, and Swift within just a few years. Of course, I don't know how much of this was due to technical reasons rather than legal reasons (but Apple did make most of this work open-source).
Thanks!. I am hoping they have a more concrete requirements spec by the end of the year. I cannot even find a release date but only teasers. I have a Dell T5800 in need of upgrade in the graphics department, but it's on great condition for everything else I throw to it. I come from a NVIDIA NVS310 so I have a good margin for improvement!
I'm a little impressed that it still works even if you add some zero-width spaces in the middle of a swear word. People will work around whatever restrictions you put in place; this is just for fun :)

I understand the different approach, but the ecosystem that leverages it aligns quite nicely with your goals. It’s anything from a todo app to a recipe book to a financial planner.

I doubt there’s any way to take advantage of the common objectives, but if you look at how the libraries build on the syntax, there might be lessons to be shared.
