My main Xojo program is a business database front-end for my indie software business. It parses sales notifications and inserts them into an offline database (ie so no customer data is ever kept online). It has a business dashboard for key performance metrics, generates charts for various sales / demographic queries. It also lets me generate serial codes for customers when giving away copies of my apps in promotions. I've been using that for about 20 years.

I also made a cross-platform Twitter-esque client (similar to Tweetbot) to work with the Micro.Blog social network. I had it fully working with Mac, Windows and Linux before I got disillusioned with Micro.Blog and didn't release it.

For internal use, I made a project estimation app for solo/indie developers like myself, that uses Monte Carlo estimation to predict an actual ship date based on the (in)accuracy of your previous task estimates. It had charts of percentage confidence, so you could give an 85% or 95% confidence of shipping a milestone by X date. The tasks & milestones were structured like an outliner and could be moved just with keyboard navigation. It was able to load project files from a discontinued Java program called Mr Schedule that I loved. That Xojo app was cross-platform Windows & Mac too.

It's an intentional design decision. Unlike https, ssh doesn't typically use x509 certificates for authentication, so there's no real way to know whether you're MITM if you're making a connection for the first time.

> The idea that PuTTY has bugs that aren't originating from the openssh project is really bothersome to me. All that work to reimplement, for what?

Agreed. OpenSSH wasted a lot of needless effort reimplementing PuTTY. Except now that you know the timeline is reversed I expect your opinion on reimplementation to suddenly 180 as well.

Heh, I was doing CAD workstation support about 15 years ago, when there was the big switch between CATIA V4 and V5. SGIs were mostly Octanes plus a few bigger irons, I think, but it also ran on HP-UX and some Sun workstations.

There wasn't a lot of movement in the 3D workstation space at the time, whereas PC 3D accelerators were taking off big time. So you ended up with a system that was faster, a lot cheaper and where the regular PC maintenance software and infrastructure could be used (boy, homogenous Unix devops was a nightmare).

Having said that, CATIA was more a workhorse CAD and CAE software, so probably not the best to show off neat UIs, and amongst engineers it had a somewhat ponderous reputation.
Longevity yes. Usability nope. For me Android is far better usability and ui then iOS. iOS was good once but not now. People are still considering it good for what was before. Plus I feel most guys here are in apple ecosystem and have not experienced anything outside.

This course can be audited for free (after you pass the 200$ certificate track bait) and I think it's a one of a kind opportunity.

I am familiar with the course's syllabus and can attest to the high quality of the lectures and practical assignments.

I wear a mask. I encourage all my friends to wear a mask. It's a very low cost, with large potential upside. There's no good reason not to wear a mask.

But I am also interested in the pure science & am asking strictly from that point of view. Again, I am not suggesting we don't need to wear masks.

I found this report on the CDC website that states:

"Although mechanistic studies support the potential effect of hand hygiene or face masks, evidence from 14 randomized controlled trials of these measures did not support a substantial effect on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza"

(emphasis mine)

https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article

I'm aware it's for influenza & not COVID-19, but most research, including evidence suggesting we should wear masks, is based on research done on influenza. I think it's reasonable, given the paucity of COVID-19 data and we have to do something, and given they're both RNA viruses, experts feel it's reasonable as well.

My conclusion from above is that while we should still definitely wears masks, it's unlikely wearing them will see a noticeable change in R0, which is what we need to really open up. I.e., opening with mask compliance probably isn't going to work, and we need people to stay home.

I'm not an expert, so would to love to learn if I've got anything wrong. Thanks in advance.

Ask HN: What's the deal with overlapping NYC IPs?
We run an Internet forum with users from around the globe.

While looking for suspicious IP address activity (to find members with duplicate accounts), we discovered IP address overlap between multiple users logging in from New York City.

When we looked at the 87 IP addresses of one NYC-based user we know well, we found another account that matched 77 of those IPs (87%). We figured this was a secondary account for this user, even though the users' grammar and punctuation differed.

But then we discovered another user shared 16 of the first user's 87 IP addresses... and this other user is one of our moderators (whom several of us have met in person).

Other users shared 4, 3, and 2 IP addresses with the original user.

Here's the thing: we are 100% confident that the original user and our moderator are different people.

We know that the original user (the one with the 87 IP addresses) lives in Queens.

We know our moderator (16 shared IP addresses with the first user) lives in mid-town Manhattan.

We know the user with 4 matching IP addresses lives in Staten Island, and the other with 2 matching IP addresses lives in the Lower East Side.

Our moderator with 16 overlapping IP addresses does not use a VPN.

How is it that in a city of 9 million people, and doubtless hundreds of thousands of wireless access points, these different users living in different boroughs have so much IP overlap?

Our moderator says:

>I do know there are three dominant internet carriers in the city, so it's possible we all use the same one and the same type of service level. Or perhaps the New York City internet network is set up on a special server where multiple VPNs are assigned and shared, for the purposes of stability and backup? And thus, all IP addresses and services are shared to some degree (because they're ultimately routed through one shared IP?) Maybe it's a response to 9/11?

Does anyone know what's going on with the NYC Internet?
It means you can't control others. People have faults and it's on them.
This is one of the major life-lessons I've taken away from card games, summarized by Captain Jean Luc Picard: "“It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life.”

You can make the best choices and chance still happens. It doesn't mean what you did was the wrong choice. You do what you can to increase your chances but the universe doesn't give a crap. It's not malicious or benevolent; it just is. The deck is just 52 apathetic cards.

However, I would actually say life is more like Magic: the Gathering (or the many clones or similar games) where some time-traveling quantum supercomputer could probably give you a guess, but don't hold your breath for that to come around.

At least in poker, the "eye in the sky" that can see all the cards in people's hands can predict winning percentages. Even if you don't know your opponents hands, based on what you know, you can calculate some good odds.

But life isn't that nice. We don't know the odds or even a wild ass guess at the odds for applying for that job or asking that person out.
The point is that it's a solution to a difficult mathematical problem, and a particularly interesting one since it has a different result with one less dimension and naively there's no reason to expect any different in 3D.

A lot of math is like this, in the sense that you can't set it up in the real world and prove it's true with physical objects, but it's still interesting and often practically useful. I guess the difference here is that it's close to being physically possible, causing frustration here among HN readers? But it's odd to see so much disparagement of the result. This is a famous result in topology, with good reason.

No it isn't.

Gorgoiler says "a common English aphorism about punctuality on 20th century Italian railways" and links to https://www.economist.com/science-and-technology/2018/11/03/... Both are clearly about Mussolini making trains run on time (or rather, not actually doing so.) Wikipedia describes the origins of the quip as such:

> Mussolini was keen to take the credit for major public works in Italy, particularly the railway system.[109] His reported overhauling of the railway network led to the popular saying, "Say what you like about Mussolini, he made the trains run on time."[109] Kenneth Roberts, journalist and novelist, wrote in 1924: "The difference between the Italian railway service in 1919, 1920 and 1921 and that which obtained during the first year of the Mussolini regime was almost beyond belief. The cars were clean, the employees were snappy and courteous, and trains arrived at and left the stations on time — not fifteen minutes late, and not five minutes late; but on the minute.[110]"

The dubious premise of Mussolini being responsible for reliable trains predates the Holocaust.

As for "it’s in bad taste and offensive", I agree that comparing fascism to systemd is in bad taste.

It depends on where you are. There are certain places where T-Mobile is the best network to be on.

People like to think that Network X is terrible in my neighborhood, so it's terrible everywhere. That's simply not the case. The big three networks got to be the big three by buying smaller regional networks. Some of those networks were very good.

T-Mobile, for example, is excellent in the upper Midwest because it came into the market by buying Voicestream, which had huge and dense coverage.

There are places I have to visit in Nevada where T-Mobile is the only provider. Heck, there are portions of the city of Las Vegas where T-Mobile/Sprint was the only signal at all until AT&T service came in last year, and there's still no Verizon to be found as recently as February (I carry all three when I'm working).

Bring your Verizon phone to southern Ohio, and get a fraction of the coverage you would get on a Cincinnati Bell (or AT&T roaming) phone.

Cell phone networks, like politicians, vary in quality by region.

>By calling people suspicious of powerful individuals anti-semitic you are protecting those powerful individuals in a shroud of identity politics despite evidence and survivor testimony - while simultaneously lowering the reputation of an entire religion.

I'm doing no such thing. I'm referring to people who believe in the Pizzagate/QAnon conspiracy theory - these are not merely people who are "suspicious of powerful individuals." Plenty of people are suspicious of powerful individuals who don't buy into that nonsense.

They don't need to be antisemitic per se to buy into a conspiracy theory that is based on antisemitism. Many people who believe in cultural marxism likely aren't aware of the origins of that term either, but it remains the fact that antisemitism is the thematic root for fears of neo-marxist influence over academia. The association of New York and Hollywood with Jews leads to terms like "New York Liberal" and "Hollywood elite" becoming anti-semitic dogwhistles among the alt-right, while seeming perfectly benign in context. These things are so deeply baked into our politics and pop-culture that many people simply can't see the ingredients, but they're still there.

And as far as lowering the reputation of a particular religion, in this specific case, blame that on the communities that came up with these conspiracy theories to begin with, and that turned anti-semitism into a pop culture meme, and whose dialogue is replete with it.

>Also the Hillary Clinton conspiracy theory [0][1] is not a modern retelling - she's not even Jewish. I'm not sure what your point is...

You're being purposely obtuse. Hillary Clinton's actual religion doesn't matter - they draw from the same archetypes and cultural associations.

A perspective is something that is biilt upon a truth, not something that is part of a truth.

What you are talking about variables seems to be about partially revealed truth.

Even in that case, a partially revealed truth can be stated as such,showing what variables are fully known and what are unknown.

Curious about your idea of supposed complex examples where its not objectively possible to state the truth.
> Yes, trust and honesty. That is what's wrong with WhatsApp.

The quote was it made WhatsApp “potentially more dangerous”. Bad information spread through a trusted relationship can be dangerous for obvious reasons. Marketers and influencers use this all the time, it’s something they strive to achieve because a friend telling you about product X is far more effective than the manufacturer of product X.

That said, I don’t think that WhatsApp is much different from any other social network in how this can be exploited, though one difference is that everything you receive comes from your ’trusted’ group. But the ability to monitor communications is not the answer, helping people to become more critical thinkers might be. That would empower people rather than suppress them though, so guess which option the authoritarians prefer?
The human mind is incredible, the sound of a car in the distance getting slightly muffled by the body now directly in front of you might cue the subconscious mind that something in the scene has changed triggering you to look up.

I'm a bit confused about the example. It seems you care about tagging an integer with a qualifier.

Then you switch on kind and you use the data

The type switch is useful when you have to consume the actual type, without runtime errors for type conversions
Trademark law allows companiess to indicate the origin of products and services by giving rights for use, and/or registration, of words or images that indicate origin.

Use is not necessarily infringement.

I think here there is a genuine chance of confusion, so the disclaimer (in the website footer) is wise.

In domain names it's established precedent that there is always confusion unless the trademark is compounded - GitHubAudio.com might be fine - but if challenged then I think the github.audio domain would be handed over (by a EU or USA court).

Morally I find this domain causes obvious confusion and shouldn't be used: monitor github.audio, or something that isn't solely someone's else's RTM (for the same registered use) before the tld would be more clearly moral, IMO.
I also avoided sites with (helpful imo) comments that the site did things like breaking the back button, or blocking full screen popups.

> The only place where I couldn't find a zero cost abstraction was enum encoding, where enums are of different sizes.

Unfortunately, variable-sized types interact poorly with arrays -- you can no longer access any element in constant time. UTF-8 has essentially the same issue.

Did you end up abstracting over the byte array at all? I would imagine that some kind of `BytecodeBuffer` could give pretty reasonable ergonomics over a raw buffer without sacrificing efficiency or correctness.
