He sure as hell isn't, but has some understanding of marketing, and access to people and resources (Bannon, Russian propaganda, Republican playmakers via Pence) that could push him over the edge.

How much of his agenda is really his, anyway? He's a punching bag to distract everyone while the real power players get their way.
Facebook has had the shop option for quite some time now on the Facebook pages. I have used it, it really sucked. What's new here?

The Instagram shop is new that's for sure. But I am not sure how that will perform.
If you like this stuff, I recommend checking out the UK show 'Time Team'. Each episode they do an archaeological dig spanning three days, to see if they can piece together what was going on in a particular site. Many of their digs are on old Roman sites in England.

There's 17 seasons of it, most of which is on Amazon Prime (I think youtube has episodes as well). It's been my goto show lately for interesting entertainment during the pandemic.
Our local store, QFC in Seattle, has been doing a great job of selecting produce for our curbside delivery. Quality has matched or beaten what I normally select myself.

I don't know where they're finding such huge broccoli crowns, but they're consistently doing so (we're ordering per crown, and paying per-pound, so the incentives are aligned there).

On substitutions -- they require customer review of every substitution.

(We take the errors in stride -- a global pandemic is a time that we can be glad to have such reliable high-quality food at all. The best fail was the day that Anjou pears got substituted in for garlic, but somebody found the garlic, so we got garlic too :).)
The biggest feature I will be looking for in this is a true push to android mobile devices. It looks like you can use the subscribe function for this, but I'd need an android example to get up and running quickly. Right now it seems like firebase is the only game in town for that functionality unless you want to roll your own with websockets or some sort of MQ. Google also strongly encourages use of firebase for that in the TOS in the play store I believe. I'm very excited to see how this progresses.

I also went right to the pricing page to see if you would charge for on-prem hosting, but looks like it is still TBD. I would like the ability to host everything on-prem. Security and encryption would be next on my list of wants after that.
Benjamin Franklin wrote about the incident in his autobiography nearly a half-century later:

>> In 1736 I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way.

>> I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation.

>> This I mention for the sake of parents who omit that operation, on the supposition that they should never forgive themselves if a child died under it; my example showing that the regret may be the same either way, and that, therefore, the safer should be chosen.
Especially sour because ULA/Boeing is not expected to try again until October (unmanned) for their commercial crew ISS mission, first manned in 2021.

Fine art was available to more of the population than you'd think. The world population doubled in the past 45 years. In contrast, during the Roman period, the world population took about 500 years to double.

Wealth accumulated over generations. In that time, if your great-great-great grandfather had a piece of artwork, there was a good chance it was yours now.

We have negative stereotypes of the past, and there were periods of history when that was true, but there were advanced periods too. The Bronze Age empires were pretty impressive until roughly 1300 BC. We had a dark age for a while. The Roman Empire was very impressive. Then we had a dark age for a while.

And you also want to think of the social structure. Rich people employed poor people in households. Even if I owned nothing personally, I'd be exposed to art in my master's household.
Looks very promising, thanks! I'm surprised I've never come across Zettlr before in all my research about editors. The features page and docs really are a testament to potential of OSS.
Of course they do, they are a for profit company not some enlightened beings we should delegate our sense making to. The whole social media revolution is a net negative and human culture has not caught up to this yet.
I would hope that grocery stores become warehouses and the only people allowed in are delivery.

You could redesign the entire stores to optimize for this which could reduce the likeliness of damaged goods.

Amazon would be in a good position to do this (the Whole Foods near me already has part of it set aside for something like this).
Social distancing is another myth. In a place like a supermarket, microdroplets with SARS-CoV-2 will linger in the air for 10 minutes. Social distancing is meaningless.
Some of the people in charge definitely do have "grand ideas", and once you're that large, there isn't too much negative feedback to keep you grounded.

Even if 99.9% of the company is reasonable and well meaning, one decision maker who gets ahead of themselves is all it takes to set an unreasonable agenda.

Either we can pray for them to exercise good judgement, or take away some of their power by voting with our dollars. Competitive alternatives are hard to come by, but I think the general public is becoming more amenable to the idea that they can sacrifice some convenience and savings for civil liberties and good intentions, kept in check with healthy competition.
> If it had any effect on covid-19, it'd be very obvious by now.

Not directly in response to this, but a broader observation I ran across was that lockdowns effectively shut down a lot of data creation (infections) about the virus, so there are still a lot of things we don't know, it makes it hard to make informed decisions.
The epic battle against coronavirus misinformation and conspiracy theories
I cracked a couple of games (that I owned - Fort Apocalypse, and some other one) by disassembling (by hand) the boot code and NOPing out the copy protection checks with a hex editor - I think I actually used a Forth utility to do that part.
The mission was initially intended to be a short, crewed test flight, lasting only a week and a half but the spacecraft that was planned to be used for this was lost in a test accident.

Now they are flying on its successor capsule which is rated for much longer (iirc up to 110 days of) space operations. This allows NASA to extend the mission and lets the astronauts Hurley and Behnken help out on the ISS which are currently short on people iirc. They received training for this extended mission in the last few month.
The data vault is in the publicly accessible format which is pretty good protection as well.
Well, sometimes what you're used to matter too. For me DDG is better (expect for local searches, in which case I've got to include my city's name).

Every time I search anything in someone else's computer (with google) I find it much harder to find what I'm looking for, sometimes I can't find and just go to DDG.

The only times I use !g is when I find some pretty obscure programming errors and no (useful) results on DDG, and only once in a while google is able to find anything better, usually the results are the same.
A draft would do wonders for the unskilled unemployment rate.
My problem is that if I order online, there may be a few ingredients out of stock for a few different meals, and I end up having to go shopping anyway because I have 3-4 meals without all the ingredients. If I went shopping in the first place, I could see that some ingredients for a meal aren't in stock, and get ingredients for a different meal.
Possibly to avoid this Futurama scenario:

I would append 'unless you do it really well' to a lot of these statements. In fact, I bet you use websites on a daily basis that do many of these, but you don't even notice because they do it well. You only notice those who do it badly.

Except for stealing the back button. There's a special hell for any dev who does that.
Its deeply misleading to pretend stuff like signed exchanges and portals are purely about content distribution and security, and not control over said content being shifted to Google, and away from authors and other sites.

Its a similar vein to how many of the objections to AMP were being white-washed with "its open source, if you have a problem with it why aren't you submitting a pull request??"

Apart from the learning curve org-roam is the answer.

I’m on week 2 with it and I can hardly sleep I’m so excited by how it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for.
I've only just begun exploring it, but it seems like AWS Amplify is another strong alternative (just uses underlying AWS services, but with a nice CLI that ties it all together). Not open source of course, but it's striking to me that people are only referencing this project as being an alternative to Firebase - is Amplify not seen as that strong of a product?
I'm pleasantly surprised by the resistance this renewal is getting. Senator Wyden is one of the few people in congress that seems to understand technology and privacy issues. Him coming out against this bill is nice to see.
I also recommend asciinema.

A tutorial using asciinema in action.

https://asciinema.org/a/188659

You can't add voice into asciinema itself but a asciinema recording URL would be an excellent handout material (like powerpoint) to give to students. Your students can view Terminal action with very clear text, unlike videos where reading text can be difficult.

Even if you use other method for recording/delivering your voice/audio lecture, including Asciinema replay link would be a huge benefit to students.

It's been a bit of a horse race. SpaceX was kind of in the lead for a while but then their capsule's thruster blew up in a ground test which set them back several months. Then Boeing failed their test flight which let SpaceX get back in the lead.
That's how I feel too. I was kind-of hoping the hardware would fail :-)
I just joined the beta last week. I keep my notes as md files in a private github repo. I just "loaded" the folder in obsidian and it just worked. I imagine that any editor that you can use with your own storage place would work.

Edit: Someone else mentioned " ... editing to add that I'm using iCloud for my vaults which allows for very fast syncing and the ability to edit on iOS".
If I got you right, then you can just open the said tag in Obsidian and see all references to it as backlinks on the side panel.

Neither Denied nor Exposed: Fixing WebRTC Privacy Leaks
It's kind of why I still continue to use my Macbook (non-pro), despite of the warts that Catalina brings. The reason being that there is no credible desktop alternative other than macOS or even Windows. I don't see myself wrestling to get things done or googling general OS issues on macOS, when I try installing a Linux distro these days when there's WSL2.

TouchID does the security for me rather than having to repeatedly type in my password unless I restart the machine. Interestingly, it can be done on Apple Watch if you're savvy enough but I won't expect typical consumers to care about that but only TouchID. They would probably ask if this exists on Windows or another Linux distro, which the answer is 'there are equivalents'. For the former, it depends on the computer, but for the latter the kernel may support it, but requires some digging into getting it to work on your chosen distro, which isn't acceptable for a "consumer OS".

Even with Apple's incompetencies with NVIDIA, Metal requirements, no 32-bit support and their silly notarisation services snooping my executables, in the end I still use it. Why? Because macOS still 'just works' and gets out of the way. Some Linux distros are getting there but I have no time to play around with my dotfiles, desktop environment or fix my window manager to get work done. Which is why I'm now dual-booting with Windows for WSL2 instead of installing a Linux distro and worrying about breaking it by installing a conflicting library or system component.

We've started doing a Skype call with my mom and my brother's family every Sunday evening.

It adds a bit of a milepost to the week, which is nice.

Also, this is the most I've talked to my brother in probably a decade. It's been really nice actually. I hope we keep it up indefinitely.
hopefully flights will be cheaper too, but i doubt that will happen.
This past weekend I uploaded a small game to Kongregate. It's been played 1000 times in the last 24 hours. I'd say the community is still surprisingly alive! Also, if I had uploaded the same game with zero marketing to mobile, I'd have expected zero downloads.

I just don't get Gatsby. It feels over-engineered for the small static site use cases it is the best tool for and definitely not a good alternative to dynamically generated pages from other frameworks like Next.js, Rails, Django, etc. Maybe the engineers that preceded me on the Gatsby project I worked on took a wrong turn but we ended up with long build times and ever growing complexity around the create pages function. I just couldn't figure out what value Gatsby was supposed to be delivering that was better than any of its competitors.

Gatsby has slick looking docs and a lot of VC money and as far as I can tell a painful development experience. For most use cases you'll still have to write a backend API to handle form submissions, 3rd party calls and other Ajax. What does Gatsby actually do other than package together a bunch of trendy web technologies with Wieden Kennedy designed documentation?
For me, the wish is for scripting. Most of my buying is algorithmic, but the filters don't match my algorithms.

It is difficult to express, "Please give me the cereal that I like the most that is under $X/lb. If there is an exceptional deal, buy more." without an API or scripting.
Hey Arviind,

I doubt I'm in your target audience, but I thought you might appreciate some feedback since you aren't getting a flood of it yet.

First, it is unclear what kind of logging you mean. I'm not familiar with kibana. What kind of data are you logging? You may say anything, but I suspect that means "anything within a certain specific niche". Or it's manual logging, which is not super value-added. Which niche of users are you trying to address?

Second, I was willing to take a look at it, to answer some of my questions, until I hit the google login. Google login is great if you are looking for sales leads. If you are looking for product feedback, a lot of people are going to skip on that.
Backlinks, thank you. That was the word I was trying to think of and describe exactly this, missed it by THAT much, heh-drinks more coffee. Cheers, I'll definitely be taking this for a spin

I've been looking into how to best make a large collection of flash games available after flash is removed from browsers. An electron app was looking promising but that plan has been scuppered by licensing issues with the Flash runtime. Adobe have told us they'll be removing flash installers from their site and the cost to embed Flash into the app itself makes it a no go.

Maybe before December there will be a good HTML5 converter but I'm not holding out much hope. Shame to see so much content disappear.

Glad to see that Nitrome have had the resources to port their games over and some content is being saved!
This is a great comment. Especially this:

> I'm hoping that Supabase is able to bring about the next-phase of databases .. by making it easy to do so

We chatted to a lot of developers at the start of this year. Most of them thought that Postgres was amazing and wanted to use it, but they still chose other options (like Firebase) because they were easier. At that point we made "database UX" our main focus.
Having "candidate vaccines" is very different from having a "vaccine". Variolation is a reasonable alternative to the lack of a known, effective vaccine.
My MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) was having kernel panics multiple times a day after having been asleep for extend periods. This was extremely annoying, as you can imagine. I’m happy to report that the Catalina 10.15.5 update fixes the kernel panics for me.

The issue I experienced has been well documented [here](https://mrmacintosh.com/10-15-4-update-wake-from-sleep-kerne...) and elsewhere on the web.

I use my MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) with a CalDigit TS3 Plus Dock and LG 32” 4K monitor. It’s worth noting that using the computer undocked never gave me any problems.

YouTube claims this is an accident [0] which I find a little hard to believe.

One thing to point out is that, as the wikipedia article makes clear, variolation refers explicitly to inoculation with smallpox. What he is proposing is literally just a really mediocre vaccine. Instead of killing or weakening the virus, or expressing subunits to build immunity against, hes suggesting just vaccinating with the normal live virus. And by exposing to a very low dose, it might not even be enough to trigger a strong enough immune response to generate long term memory against the virus, since we're already seeing people with little or no antibody response after getting sick. So of course wed need a rigorous, well run trial to evaluate this, at which point what's the advantage compared to a well made vaccine again? You don't get to have lower standards for your vaccination approach because you call it something else incorrectly.
Can you tell me more about AMP? First time hearing about it (maybe I do live under a rock), but I always thought it was convenient to see news results up top that open up fast.
Those are not "anti-CCP comments", it's just spam. They don't convey any information or opinion.
>It wouldn't work because the phishing site would lack the private key needed to validate your client-side certificate and the TLS connection would not be established.

That is not how TLS works. A server can trust a client based on the certificate the client presents. A client can't distrust a server based on the certificate the client presents.

"The phishing site would lack the private key needed to validate your client-side certificate" is nonsense. Neither the real site nor the phishing site have the private key used to generate the CSR; only the client that sent the CSR has that, and validating a cert does not involve the private key in any way. If you're thinking of a new protocol where the server itself generates an arbitrary asymmetric keypair and shares it with the client, then a) that's not TLS, b) that could just as well be done with a symmetric key (since this is just pre-shared key auth) where the server presents a nonce to the client to sign and verifies the client signed it, and c) a fake server can just not do that.
My experience with online food shopping has been mixed. They actually did a good job of picking veggies for me. My family doesn't eat a lot of meat, so that's not super important. The headaches are in ordering and delivery.

The ordering systems have the look and feel of having been bought from one vendor, while their inventory system is from another, and never the twain shall meet. Bar codes were invented for inventory control, and it's a highly refined science. Even produce has a code. But you can't enter a bar code number into the ordering system.

Time slots for picking up your order, that fill up and are unavailable. For many of us who are working from home, our time is flexible. Just tell me an estimated lead time and text me when it's ready. I'll hop in my car or bike and pick up my order in a jiffy.

Now, depending on how the covid pans out in the next year or so, food delivery might have to mature a bit. I could even imagine delivery-only stores, which could have much better inventory control.
