OpenEdge has pretty good SQL support. Progress management I talked to did NOT want to stand behind SQL for CRUD applications. They were OK with SQL's use for ETL and were adamant that OpenEdge should be used only with 4GL for CRUD application. I wrote several blogs to explain the cool CRUD apps one could write. I did observe that 4GL devs were very shy to use anything but 4GL to work with Progress. Yes, SQL is treated as a second/third class citizen even though I felt SQL was an exceptional way to use OpenEdge with other languages. If there were valid technical reasons to not use SQL, I didn't hear it from 4GL devs or Progress management.

To be fair, 4GL and OpenEdge work very well together.
their messaging strategy is to support any messaging app you want to use as a first-class experience.

SMS or RCS notifications aren't treated as any special case that gets priority over any other messaging app. If you want to use signal as your primary messaging app, android is happy to support that.
How is it not generic enough for the web?

Once it can compile it web assembly (work in progress) it be the obvious choice.
I hear you. While I may not have committed major atrocities personally, I believe the potential for all those things lies within me due to my human nature. Had I been born in a different time and place, I may well have participated in some of that stuff. I shudder to think about it and believe we should nurture the better aspects of our nature as much as we can, both individually and collectively.
Quite a lot actually. And even new software is designed these days to ride those dinosauri.

I use WordPerfect 6.2 for DOS, not for any nostalgia or legacy reasons, just because it's a full-featured and highly configurable word processor that I can use in a terminal. I only use it for writing letters and so on, nothing too serious, but I prefer to stay in the terminal if I can.

It works beautifully under dosemu2, which has a terminal mode that can translate various VGA modes into S-Lang calls (S-Lang is like ncurses, so no X11 required). I find this technically impressive and makes a lot of old DOS software indistinguishable from native linux software; stdin/stdout, parameters, host filesystem access, etc all work transparently.

Here's a screenshot: https://twitter.com/taviso/status/1272670107043368960/photo/...

It can import TTF fonts and print to PostScript, which I just pipe into ps2pdf and then handle on the host.

I'm not aware of any other full-featured modern word processor that can run in an xterm. I know about wordgrinder but it's very very basic. You could use a text editor, but it's not ideal for layout because it doesn't understand things like proportional font geometries - you need that to know how lines/glyphs will fit on the physical page when it's printed. You could write it in some form of markup, html, TeX, markdown, whatever, but if I'm just trying to format a document I prefer a word processor.

(Note: dosemu2 doesn't require virtual 8086 mode, so it works fine on x86-64)
Precedent and norms have somewhat gone by the wayside in recent years, so that might not be a compelling reason not to act.
> There are crypto voting systems that do not allow anyone (including the government) to know if you voted or what your vote is (identifying you), but still allows tallying and validation.

Are they safe against "rubber hose cryptanalysis"? Such as forcing you to verify your vote while I can see you?
Why not? The US GDP dropped by over 2 trillion in just the second quarter. That's over $300,000 per infection right there. And that's if we don't count future quarters, Q1 2020, or any of the trillions in stimulus that has been pumped into the economy. It doesn't seem these numbers are out of line with the back-of-the-envelope math.
That’s very true, but Outside Tokens are really cheap and are low risk so encouraging people to buy them seems like a reasonable hedge to make until the hypothesis can be proven.
I recently got to witness the delicate use of an atomic force microscope from a very crude GUI on a Windows 95 computer. I was told by the person in charge of the lab that of course they could find a more recent tool but it would be too expensive and not worth it while the computer keeps working well.
Today we launched Mudstack's early access program. After working hard for almost a year, we are finally ready to kickoff the program and invite the world to come and check out what we have been building.

We built mudstack to help game studios and artists manage, collaborate on, and ship their art assets and pipelines better, faster, and with confidence.

This early access program represents the culmination of our dreams. We are extremely excited to be kicking it off, and welcome any and all feedback.
If you update and Settings crashes every time you open it even after a reboot, don't launch it from the pulldown. Scroll through your app list and long press Settings. Click the Info icon. Select Terminate. That should get it working again.
Wow, a pretty lame release this time. Barely anything new. Huge disappointment
One aspect that I find often overlooked is that when countries or agents within countries decide to take this sort of action, they have already factored in this sort of international response, which makes it obvious that these are not enough.
Only about half of Americans have any investment in the stock market - and yes, that includes 401ks. That means more than half the population can file taxes without information from brokers or portfolio managers, which means not having that information is not a good reason to not do this.

That is a fair criticism, I am aware of the AGPL license shortcomings.

I just picked up the more restrictive license at the beginning - being a sole funder and not working on this full time etc. I simply did not want somebody (e.g. a big company with a big team) grabbing my code along the way and running away with it.

Since now Titanoboa got to the shape I envisioned it to be in I am starting to focus more on adoption, so yes I am definitely thinking about switching to less restrictive license since it will probably help.

Also at the beginning I was not aware how badly AGPL is perceived (I always thought if it was good for Mongo it could work for me, but I may have been wrong).
Sounds like their system works. If that 486 hardware lasted 20 years already, seems like there's a pretty good chance it'll outlast most of the modern stuff it would be replaced with.

Correct. I was changing my thought mid-sentence from "filing status" to "withholding status" and didn't correct the beginning.
this generation is a complete failure. We are seeing it plainly during this covid crisis. Absolutely helpless and have burnt bridges with family and community in favour of cubicles. I am disappointed. All my tax dollars and hopes wasted on an infant generation.

This really sounds more like a personal problem that you're projecting onto tens of millions of people. Perhaps "this generation" (whatever that means) has burnt bridges with their family because they offer nothing but baseless, judgmental platitudes about the demise of the youth?

Relax, friend. There is nothing new under the sun. The current generation isn't better or worse than those that came before. The world changes here and there, but most things stay the same. Don't fret so much about the future of civilization. Be present and let the rest unfold as it will.
Here’s one we received earlier this year for your analysis. Personal details were ours including the phone number. The package contained a bag of seeds. Not the rose stud earrings claimed (that we also didn’t order).

That's a function of the available tools, not of the opportunities to do so. Julia makes writing custom kernels easy.
Because everything major has already been implemented, and what they should implement are not being implemented because they go against their incentives, such as actual privacy features. I think.

Or take for example: they broke call recording. Third party applications do not work above Android 9 (?). There is a Google feature that allows you to record calls, but only incoming calls. How is that for a feature? Why does it have to be tied to Google? Why cannot we just simply record the call, whether it is an outgoing call or an incoming call, without it being tied to any Google-related bullshit? It should be relatively simple to implement, but nope, they do not seem to be wanting to do that.

If you go all the way to the East or West side of the map you will hit a wall. Drill into that wall far enough and the wall material changes to something that quickly damages you just for being in it, however, if you can drill through that material quick enough and don't die before you make it all the way through, you are rewarded with another complete world, randomly generated, with some slight variations on the original.
Even in perfect weather at popular locations not far from major services. At Eagle Creek in Oregon a hiker ran past me headed to the trailhead (no cell coverage) at around 2pm after a hiker fell into a ravine at Seven Mile Falls. While there were multiple doctors who happened to be hiking, the rescue crew and paramedics didn't arrive until after 10pm.
I think this is a solid critical reflection that at least in enterprise relates well.

When it comes to your customers, I believe that you want to understand as much as you can, as early as you can, about what they are actually trying to do and about how they are actually faring with what you have sold them. I'd argue that the success of your initial customers is more important than the features for your next deal, and that feature investments should reflect that.

The problem, as the OP said, is in estimating the difference between the incremental feature requirements of your initial customers and what your strategic feature set will be. There may be no difference, and your strategy is to ship features in order satisfy each new customer as you get it. Perhaps you can design for that. Chances are though that your first customers are not wholly repsentative of your strategic, target market.

So, in the early stage, you have to make choices about allocating dev for tactical "now" or for strategic "later". In the early stage, if there is not enough "now", there is no "later". The question is when to begin budget for later. I'll argue that you are attempting to build a business, not a suspense movie, and that you budget a fixed amount for "later" from day one. Plan to succeed.

I agree with the recommendation of a strong Professional Services function as an buffer for dev, but will note that culturally you have to work hard to not silo. Your Support and ProServe teams become a primary channel of learning for dev. As a business, though, you may have to give away ProServ hours.

All in all my biggest takeaway here is that you attempt to "hire" customers strategically. As you journey together, will this customer want to go where you will want to go? What time is it when your "Big Customer" sits on your roadmap? ...

"Hire" customers strategically is easier said than done when there's salaries on the line -- accordingly look at how you compensate Sales and budget away from early stage big deals.
It is this, so called "end to end encryption" which is actually not "end to end", but "end to end plus NSA", but they are not allowed to say "plus NSA" so they say only "end to end" - without "plus NSA"...
It is true that Russia has a lot of control over Belarus, but it is revolt against dictator. There is no talks about ceasing partnership with Russia simply because the country is too relying on Russia's market. The idea that people want to get rid of dictator to get away from the Russia is what is pushed by Belarus state propaganda media precisely to push Russia to support dictator.
I suppose its fine as long as its not connected to the internet.
Data Science Memes That Will Make You LOL
I've seen reporting recently that studies showed some large percentage (63%?) of asymptomatic patients had visible signs in chest x-rays. So asymptomatic doesn't seem to always mean "absolutely no measurable effects".
We need a 7 day walkout by all major app vendors.
On iOS, every app is fully sandboxed from all others. You can't even run background processes on iOS. Anything that modifies system behavior (such as activating a VPN that snoops traffic) requires system confirmation dialogs. No compromise can happen here.

On Android, isolation is not as strict and there are more holes. But each app runs as a separate Linux user, and with each Android version Google locks down the security model more.

Rootkits like you find on Windows just aren't possible on iOS and Android.

I believe they still allow clipboard snooping. I can't confirm nor deny whether Wechat does this.

Apple and Google should do something about that and further restrict their security model.
It's my understanding that the spikes are associated with earlier events than the two-ish week single infection incubation period because for the case spikes, you have to have a few rounds of infection aka exponential growth before the infection rate impact makes a blip.

As in: If you got 10k new cases in mid/late June, it's not "because" 10k people got infected at one event in early June, but because 10k ppl got infected in early June from 5k people who got infected in late July from ~3k people who got infected in early July from ~1k people who get infected in late May from one event.

Note: Specific numbers pulled out of my ass as an easy way to convey the idea.

I acknowledged the mechanical legal aspect - "YMMV with practical enforcement though."

But we should hold our governments to the standards they are purportedly founded on, rather than buying into the justifications that they themselves have created. The opportunities to concretely do this are rare, but extradition trials being judged by a different government are one of those places.
I'm probably going to perma-delete my HN account after this, but this is my main complaint with popularized scientific research being parroted for political purposes. "The paper isn't written for a non-expert audience" yet one of the authors is going on Anderson Cooper tonight to talk about it to a non-expert audience.

Can you cite any paper that suggests serious complications for asymptomatic patients is anywhere even remotely close to 5%? All I've seen is a handful of rare anecdotes, nothing to suggest it's a remotely likely outcome.
But are taxes really theft if I'm willing to pay them and I'm getting something of value back in return?

Maybe it's extortionate, but the entire premise of government and the social contract is extortionate to a degree.
Startups bias toward hiring some less experienced developers by their nature, so they don't always know how to build quickly and solidly. The up front cost is either learning skills of abstraction from scratch, or hiring people who have.
We use succinct data structures to represent our graphs. Succinct data structures are self indexing data structures that approach the information-theoretic minimum size of representation. Additionally, all the compute is on the local machine - we pass around highly compressed memory cores and do all of the orchestration (commit graph, permissions etc.) in the Hub. So far, the cost is very low so we are able to be generous in the free tier.

For example, we have DBpedia available to clone on Hub now, we get about 10x compression on that so can serve it up really efficiently (clone to query in about 2 minutes with a normal enough connection).

Hope is that we'll be able to keep it that way forever to facilitate public interest and open source work.
I take it you haven't processed SAR data :-). In the Zynq Ultrascale series you can have DDR hanging off the fabric that is accessible through the AMBA bus to the processor. Having multiple cores doing overlapping convolutions on spectral data in RAM can run fast enough to give real time tracking latencies.
The problem is that with web being so many thing to so many people, there is not much everyone will agree on. A browser must be able to act as text document viewer, graphic editor, game engine, chat, and with more of different usecases being pushed pushed into that pile, the more you want browser to be assembler of the web, otherwise you'll end up with a pile of incompatible "page structures", each required by some of those applications.

Yeah, it's a little harsh for a story titled "Escape from x." The story pretty much ended when they decided to turn around from the fire, point 3 in their map: https://www.jmeshe.co/escape-from-creek-fire/photos/6959453. The trip got cut short, but it wasn't much of an escape.

Then again, wildfires can move 100 miles in a day, about 10x faster than a human. Like a viral pandemic, you have to make decisions before it feels dire. It sounded like though that they got enough information early on via satellite communicator to realize it wasn't an immediate threat. I think the author is guilty of mild over-dramatization.
Withholding =

(Taxable income in each bracket * tax rate for each bracket) - (annual tax credits / number of annual payments from your employer).

If you're married and want to be taxed as a couple, you simply send the documentation as such to the tax office after your wedding.

You can tell your employer and they'll try adjust appropriately in payroll, or you can not tell them and the government will send you a tax refund at the end of the year for the partner with the higher tax bracket. It's optional to be taxed as a couple, so presumably you're opting into it because it will reduce your tax obligations, so there shouldn't be a case where you have to pay more because you're married. The same applies for tax credits that you don't want to tell your employer about.
Org Mode for Beginners Lesson 7 – How to add checkboxes to a TODO list
I loved the hubs features. It felt like I can get an overview of all my data instead of bits and pieces buried in isolated silos. The individual apps were still available if it was one's preference. Too bad the hubs were neglected and eventually neutered by WP8 and WP8.1.

If they had gone the other direction we may have had a completely different mobile paradigm than just a bunch of apps. I suspect the major services would have been even more opposed to that, if that's even possible.
While I generally agree, I'd like to point out the fact that observing the elections in a western democracy is nothing like observing the elections in a country like Belarus where the president has been in power since 1994.

The elections in Belarus can hardly be called that. There really isn't that much to observe besides the obvious. No number of observers could have changed the results.
> Or does brushing need getting lots of different card numbers too? I wouldn't think they are so easy to come by in bulk.

Have ever been to those .onion marketplaces?

And somebody bigger will probably employ a service of some rogue bank to issue tons of cards for fake users.

I was surprised that Amazon still allows virtual cards. Alibaba had them blacklisted pretty much from day one.
Not literally secret. They are just the changes that are particular to an environment or specific use case. They are just not things that are likely to get upstreamed so they are maintained as a fork.
It begins to matter more when “coastal elites” don’t just view “rugged individualists” a certain way, but also wish to exert power/influence over them via policy.
For the person who suffers them, they are not equivalent. But that isn't what is being measured.

When measuring economic impact, they could very well be equivalent. A dollar lost when someone can't work due to a broken bone is economically equivalent to a dollar lost when someone bedridden with a virus.
It's not just about caring how I am viewed for no reason, it's that I have to deal with the culutural differences daily both professionally and personally, but mostly professionally. I keep my politics etc to myself in the workplace, but the coastal elites seem to want to shove theirs down everyones throats, even in the workplace, which is very jarring. It's one of the same reasons I fled the bible belt and went to DC for a while (only to find I disliked the east coast), but to see the similarities in dogmatism and tribalism between the bible belt and the coastal elites is... informative.

I keep having this semi-irrational fear that the SV startup I work for will found out I'm not "one of them" and fire me for cultural differences.
I have family in BC less than 125 Km from Vancouver, but that is still 10 hours and a ferry trip... if the one and only road is open. That is the reality of life in mountains. There is only ever the one road. Even famous places like Whistler: one road.

> One-time permissions will allow you to grant single use access to your most sensitive permissions: microphone, camera and location.

What I'd like to see is permission requests for apps to use audio on the device, and the ability to allow or deny on a per-use basis. I don't want my phone making any noises unless I explicitly allow it.
