The subreddit appears to entirely miss the difference between a "blog" and a "post." The former is a collection of posts, and the subreddit seems to consist exclusively of posts, not blogs. What the the HN post was lamenting was that there aren't blogs as a whole that you can follow anymore. The subreddit doesn't quite seem to be filling the void that had been identified.

They're not "government resources", they're public resources. We all collectively own them. The government is an agent that we use to manage those resources, but it doesn't own them. The public does.

Indeed. I remember the first time I ran TeX on an SGI workstation in the 90s. I thought it didn't run because the compilation ran so fast the screen didn't scroll.
When a person stands in a checkout line and breathes into the air and all over the plexiglass that stands between you and the cashier...and you carefully stand 6 feet back and then walk into the same exact airspace the person occupied just seconds prior...believe me, you're breathing in droplets from that other person. Our bodies contract diseases all day every day. There are millions of viruses and bacteria that but for our immune system, would bring us to our knees in a matter of days or weeks. We cannot carry on like this. Social distancing will tear society apart and destroy the economy, resulting in far more deaths and misery.
This FAQ got me the behind the scenes at a concert.

I'd never owned anything fancier than a Radio Shack laser pointer, but I'd read Sam's FAQ cover-to-cover out of sheer curiosity.

Sometime around 2010, I found myself dropping some things off at a convention, where I was not involved but knew some of the staff. This landed me in a conversation with one of the A/V crew for the dance (happening a few hours hence), specifically the guy who did the laser show equipment. Pretty fancy stuff, especially for 2010.

We end up talking a LOT about lasers, most of which I know from the FAQ, never having touched any of the stuff in the flesh. He takes me down to the ballroom to check out the setup, we play with it a bit, and I'm totally fascinated, not just with the hardware, but the controls that sequence the various show routines. Then he says something like "You seem to have a handle on this.. listen... I never get to GO TO the dance because I'm always back here. You wanna take a shift on the board?", and next thing you know, the lights are down, the fog is up, and the DJ is giving me hand signals to know when to change the laser wibbly-wobbly as he switches songs.

Mid-show, a costumed figure walks up to the board, laser-guy peeks out from behind the mask, "How ya doin? Need a breather?" and I'm like "Nah this is awesome, have fun out there!", and he disappears back into the crowd.

Thank you for your kind feedback. I'll try to come up with a concise way to mention it in the introduction.
I have known companies that had that policy, but it was only when there were plenty of people looking for IT jobs. When the market is tight, if they find out they might try to appease you.

However, once you start seriously looking, it is just a matter of time.

I know several people who always put out their resumes, and are open about it. They say they like to know what they are worth. Typically they have not been seriously looking just keeping in practice if they needed to.

Myself I went to a job fair, and I was surprised to see my boss there recruiting. I had to get out as the tech was primitive and I was worried my skills were atrophying. I was given a 10% raise, which was nice and I used it to get another 10% at the new company.

"Laws that allow you to be fined or punished simply for not wearing a seat belt or a helmet? Yes, those are wrong."

The new pubmed is fine. I've been using it nearly daily for a few years, so from well before the redesign, and it does the job it needs to do. You're going to get outsized backlash if you make any change with how non-tech-savvy and conserved the biomedical research community is. The new version looks nicer and seems to do a better job of searching articles using citations you copy (forgot which Twitter user pointed that out). It's perfectly fine amd this is really the only article I can find about this supposed backlash - a few tweets does not signify community outrage when most researchers are probably not on Twitter and are currently spending their time panicking about the impact nonessential research shutdowns are going to have on their career goals

This isn't the first time this has happened with PubMed. When they first introduced their javascript application version years ago (the old site now) it wouldn't even show text of abstracts without JS. But eventually they made it so the text was always there, just badly styled without JS on.

The same thing happened with the recent SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System redesign (https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/). Initially they planned to only have the very heavy SPA but after a few months of comments and complaints the team made a really excellent "basic HTML" fallback, https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/core .

No doubt PubMed will implement a similar full featured fallback to sane HTML if they want to remain relevant to researchers.

Go back and read the second part of my post, which you failed to quote, which addresses exactly this issue.
People make up all sorts of weird stuff to justify the awful things they do.
"That's not feasible. Those people have families, too."

Why not? I don't think the parent meant staff should stay on-site forever.

There can be shifts. Staff on shift get tested or even stay isolated for two weeks, then enter the unit, spend a month on-site and leave for home.

Does this sound like a dream job? Not really, I guess.

Does it sound that different from sailors, long-haul drivers, deployed military personnel and many other professionals who stay away from their families for prolonged period of times?

To repeat my (non)answer:

There is no way to recommend NoSQL database without knowing what you need it for because NoSQL databases are highly specialized systems. If you need general-purpose database use an SQL one.

It's kind of a weird question, now that I think about it. Why would anyone seek out a database based on what it doesn't have?

I disagree with everything you wrote. There are hundreds of companies that offer inferior products and crush competitors with superior offerings. They do it through sales. SAP and Salesforce are two of many examples. No one I have ever met says "we love SAP" or "we love Salesforce" yet both are known leaders in their spaces. Why? Has nothing to do with describing value and everything to do with sales.
We have some data: looking at Google Covid-19 Community Mobility Reports, here are the numbers for (Japan, California, US) compared to baseline:

Retail & recreation: (-40%, -47%, -30%)

Grocery & pharmacy: (-12%, -7%, -3%)

Parks: (-52%, -14%, +32%) (yes that's a positive sign!)

Transit stations: (-55%, -41%, -34%)

Workplaces: (-23%, -27%, -24%)

Residential: (+14%, +12%, +9%)

So this data more or less seems to confirm what you said, though with obvious caveats (e.g. looking at say county-level may overturn some of this: compliance in Tokyo may be less than in San Francisco county and about as good as Santa Clara county, along some dimensions).

Also people get carried away with how estoppel works. Estoppel is a basic principle in civil law that says if Alice tells Bob it's fine for him to do X, then even if Bob is infringing on Alice's lawful rights by doing X, she doesn't get to come back later and tell a court "Hey, Bob was infringing my rights by doing X".

And that's where it definitely stops, but people get carried away and imagine now if Alice tells Bob, "Enough, I need you to stop doing X by this reasonable time" and Bob says "Fuck you Alice" and keeps doing X the court will rule for Bob. Nope. And they imagine Bob's friend Charlie might show up too, and do X and Alice has to accept that because she told Bob previously it was fine, again Nope. As a result some businesses become convinced that unless they pay lawyers to threaten every hobby project starting with the same first letter as their product the terrible "estoppel" will destroy their business.

Also just as a general principle lawyers are for avoiding disputes first, fixing existing disputes as a last resort. If you're actively paying lawyers to start shit you are probably Doing It Wrong™.
Haven't used flutter for web. Apparently it uses canvas. Ok for getting shit done in some cases.
If banks could secure their web portals to the same degree as their mobile apps, they absolutely would. “Portal A (web) cant be as secure as Portal B (mobile), so don’t bother securing Portal B” isn’t an acceptable security model. The banks are naturally going to reduce their vectors of attack to the greatest degree possible, and that naturally means that some access points will be more secure than others.

I don't know. The Ainu look very different, which has led to much speculation as to their origins.

This suggests to me that the Ainu while maybe sharing some ancestry with the dominant Yamato people have a very different history, with the Ainu probably sharing less genetic history with modern East Asians.

> phone software that needs to be secure and so would attempt to detect jailbreaks

Ah, yes, the same kind of software that forbids pasting passwords, because, security.

Although, to be fair, I must admit, the comparison is not entirely accurate. It is true that it makes some sense. I don't know about iOS jailbreaks, but on Android an application may request superuser privileges. Given that a significant fraction of users do tend to grant arbitrary permissions to see the flying pigs (numerous Android flashlight apps are a good example), I can see how this could be a problem. I believe I've heard of malware that does this.

That's why my latest Android phones haven't had user-facing root access or Xposed. The idea was that there was nothing installable/programmable (that I could grant by fat-fingering or someone could borrow/steal my phone and exploit the elevated capabilities) - just a custom-built firmware with everything I needed. I haven't yet felt a particular necessity to jailbreak my iPhone (although apps get worse every year so I may eventually consider it), so no experience in that regard.

The language of modern Greeks is directly descended from that of the ancients. From classical times through the hellenistic period, the Byzantine Empire up to today there is a continuity of culture.

Those were the days.
That's a great list!! I hadn't heard of half these tweaks, nor did I realize there were so many that work on iOS 13. Maybe it's time to jailbreak again!
Can you downgrade iOS if you jailbreak?
> "Others offered a more nuanced take, noting that nearly every redesign of a popular website is initially criticized before people learn to live with it."

For a bit of computer history, while it may sound quite far fetched nowadays, there were actually times when relaunches were generally welcomed and user numbers were expected to double rather than dropping. (Well, this was before UX.)
Cydia Impactor is a method, not a step.

You can jailbreak with unc0ver in 3 different ways, one of which requires an Apple Developer account, yes.
> The people now "Greek" have little relationship to the ancient Greeks

I don’t believe this is true, FWIW. If I’m not mistaken, most of the Mediterranean as had relatively little genetic replacement since the Indo-Europeans first stablished themselves. There has been cultural turnover in the Middle East, but this has mostly taken the form of elites engaging in tax farming conquered populations, rather than genocide and replacement.
If you already happen to be running Jenkins you can run an agent on the Mac and tag iOS builds to always run there. I’ve had decent experience with that approach, using Fastlane to build/upload different releases based on git branch like you describe.

Keep in mind you’ll need a graphical connection for occasional updates, which is likely different from the rest of the build system. You may also need it to fetch an Apple 2FA code every 30 days, that’s used to refresh your token to upload releases to App Store Connect.
There are a handful of unscientific experiments circulating around, like this Mythbusters one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f4sUNWkq60 . Tl;dr: 6 feet is optimistic. But, compared to 2 feet it's probably worlds better. It's a numbers game.

unc0ver isn't one, but a "rootless" jailbreak is usually undetectable. This one hasn't been updated with iOS 13 support but was popular for iOS 12: https://pangu8.com/jailbreak/rootless-jb/

I haven't used it myself, but two very similar kernel-level jailbreak detection bypasses were just released for unc0ver 13.x, FlyJB and KernBypass: https://github.com/akusio/KernBypass-Public

A couple of my banking apps detect my jailbreak but allow me to continue after hitting "Okay". The only app I ever wanted to use that refused to let me in was the Nintendo Switch Online app. Steam works fine. If you don't play games on your phone it isn't really a big deal imo.
> Who would choose to die now without a "lockdown" when the other option is die later with a lockdown

Umm, lots of people? If we prohibited all vehicle traffic we would prevent 1.3 million deaths worldwide, yet lots of people appear willing to drive.

Look, I don't mean to minimize the deaths, and the lockdowns were a very rational response given what was known initially. At the same time, humans make risky choices all the time, and it's not unreasonable to ask if the cost of the lockdowns is worth the lowered risk, especially in lower-density locales.
