Oh, that sounds awful. I have a C in my address and sometimes it's fine and sometimes it's a whole thing explaining that it's not 4, it's C.

That said, two-number adresses are pretty common, I'm surprised you run into trouble with that. I live near Tokyo Tower, and even in the heart of Tokyo Minato-ku is only 99.XX% three-digit addresses. Azabu Nagasaka and Azabu Mamiana are tiny neighborhoods that are both still two digits (and Mamiana's name is another weird story...).
The "if you're using good form" is a pretty huge caveat. It's only natural for form to suffer as you try and push yourself harder, but there are not many exercises where bad form so consistently leads to such debilitating injuries such as slipped disks.

This is anecdotal evidence I know, but I can think of two friends that have gotten slipped disks from doing deadlifts in 2019, and this was during personal training sessions from "ex-Olympians" that cost $100s an hour.
The slide you are referring to shows when the NSA started ingesting Yahoo wiretap data from the FBI. There is no selling out involved.
> but is this safe long term

Is getting COVID safe long term? There are plenty of viruses that cause issues in the long term. HIV causes AIDS, HPV and Hepatitis cause cancers years later. We have no clue on the long term effects of SARS-Cov-2, other than that it causes COVID-19 in the short term.

It's a choice between the pest and the cholera at this point.
UVC Sanitization of Air and Surfaces
I use IDEA Ultimate but I deliberately avoid the built in version control and diffing 99% of the time.

They’re great tools for writing code (in spite of their not-quite-native UI and heavy resource requirements) but anything I can do separately (git/hg, vagrant, terminal/ssh, diffing), I do - the IDE-integrated interfaces for those things are pretty much always worse and slower.
A CLI utility that abstracts over the general testing pattern
Still plenty of challenges considering you need to store in -80C. Possible in developed countries, but I doubt if it’s doable in developing countries.

Definitely a step in the right direction though
To me it sounds as though the hard part of every actual feature request in TFA is frontend ux related.

For example, the request that first responders should see non medical personal info like people's favorite bands is matter of getting people to enter that (hard), storing it in a secure database (hard but solved), and displaying it in a text field (easy).
One of the lead doctors in the UK is saying life will start to look normal in Spring 2021 (albeit, I assume he was referring to the UK alone). There's good reason for cautious optimism & patience.

Science has done its job; now we need to push for coordination between infrastructure, government, and business to finish it.
Aha? That sounds interesting. Usually those "I'm gonna use a full blown framework, although nothing special is needed." websites appear in pure white over the whole screen, with nothing to be seen. Which is usually when I close the tab. Are you saying, that NextJS encourages a design, which keeps no script in mind? Is it its default to render a noscript tag or something? This would definitely raise it in my personal rating.
The THING and parts for THING are all custom made in China.

I don't think its moral, but I am stuck. My wife got laid off due to COVID and I need this job to support the family. I'm currently looking for another job.
The vast majority of Americans live in households where someone has to physically go to work in order to feed their family. Many others must leave their homes to purchase basic essentials.

The value of a lockdown isn't in changing the behavior of those who are already voluntarily avoiding exposure -- its value is in changing the behavior of those who inconsiderately spread it to others during their essential travels outside of their house.
Well, only for actual programming environments that run some direct form of a scripting language - the existence of iSH shows they're fine with sandboxed+emulated programming environments.
So what? 1% IFR is very, very high. If 90% of world population gets sick with it, 70 000 000 will die. Compare that with 700 000 flu death every year.
Right after the election all this news gets widespread distribution? Hmmm....
Agreed. I don't want to work somewhere that's boring. I've been doing the OS minimalist thing, it's cool being able to become productive on a new Mac in 45 minutes, but lately I've been missing how customized my old Arch+XMonad setup was. Marking this as "not a culture fit". :)
How are Web Components an example of the browser thinking of itself as an OS? Do you mean PWAs?
I wanted to play with it, but that apps popup...

Those things are so rude. I just close on principle anything which has one.

Newsletters, too.
There's no such thing as "Covid infection". There's SARS-CoV-2 infection, which often causes CoVID-19 disease.

Pfizer is saying that their vaccine is effective at protecting against CoVID-19 disease. They haven't said anything about preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection yet, as far as I can see. The difference is important, because there are vaccines (such as the Salk polio vaccine) that only protect against disease, but not against infection. People get infected and pass on the virus without ever getting sick, so there's no herd immunity.
Dnstap-receiver: a dnstap streams receiver in Python
The easiest way would be to use the normal python bindings and flask and attach some http endpoints to actor and sensor functions. I think this would only take a few hours to have something that essentially works.
There are multiple ways to do it, e.g. spreading data and parentheses across multiple lines to work better with line-based tools like git, or keeping revisions in the files themselves, etc. but most approaches require translation back and forth, which is a burden on those trying to handle the data (e.g. viewing diffs, bisecting to pin down a bug, etc.).
This is kind of like saying that, because farmers must occasionally let their field lie fallow, government must ban farming in some areas. Fish migratory patterns would naturally be priced into the fishing rights market.
No big deal from my perspective. I was just explaining my cautious wording. I know you've been open about working with/from "ideas/people" in the darcs community, and good about the shoulders [1] the pijul work stands on/improves, and I also dislike people not giving credit where it is due. Sometimes a few bad apples ruin many things. FWIW, I liked the name "Anu" better. :-/ EDIT: and thanks for all your hard work on Pijul!

I've started just editing an instance of unbound on my router for custom DNS records. I've gone as far as redirecting all my port 53 traffic to it using iptables on my router as well for those insidiously hard coded DNS servers on Google products.
Which device would that be? This is pure interoperability theatre by a duopoly.
In my whole life (and I'm not young anymore) I have never known or been acquainted with someone who died of the flu. And I've also never known anyone who were still completely out five months after they had the flu, unlike a couple of young friends of mine who got Covid in March. One of them (<30) couldn't do a thing until October.
If my parents get the flu it's extremely likely they'll be fine in a week or two. Covid would be a completely different story.
Show HN: Dotter – A dotfile Manager and Templater, written in Rust
Unluckily, as it is a crowdsourced list I cant asure you that is not inflated by the submitters, but I try to keep it clean removing the submissions that are obviously fake, and people can report the ones that think that are not 100% true as well using the link at the bottom of the Salary Details Page.

To be completely honest i don't have a solution for that right now, I just build the site to replace all the spreadsheets that are around there, where people share their salaries in companies to give an idea to other (and themselves) if they are underpaid. I can say that they work realy well by my experience, even though they have the same issue. You need to see the overall picture, and try to get an idea, but don't take the highest and lowest values.

Anyways, I open to ideas, and suggestions of how can I improve the data submission.
Dotter is a dotfile manager and templater.
It is aimed at users who have their configuration files in one central folder (often a git repository) for easy uploading and synchronization.

Dotter provides a flexible configuration, intended to make it easy to deploy the same files on different machines while adapting the files to each specific machine.
It is possible to deploy your vimrc to different locations on your Windows and Linux machines, without needing separate git branches or any other similar awkward solution.
It is even possible to have the contents of the files changed on a per-machine basis, for example hiding the battery meter from your bar on your desktop machine while still showing it on your laptop.

For more information, check out the wiki - https://github.com/SuperCuber/dotter/wiki

Feel free to leave feedback on anything in the form of comments or issues, especially regarding documentation and additional features you'd want to see, as well as questions you may have.
I use getent for passwd and groups, but didn't realize what else it could be used for, thanks!

I found this page which has some good examples for getent, if anyone is interested:

Completely smooth on 4yo iPhone SE 1st gen. Nicely done.
Good.
Too many people compelled to work for free for the profit for others under a misguided philosophy. Open source is a great thing, and doing it for free is a fine thing if you want to do so. I do some free open source work. But I hate that people are pressured to do it, or get crap if they chose not to.
Are you confused? This is not twitter, my friend.
Can't wait to see this. Where should I look?
The short answer is no for most definitions of a home garage.

Take a look at this fella: http://sam.zeloof.xyz/first-ic/

The page has a short video goes over some of the tools and materials that went in to making a small amplifier chip.

I don't have any experience with making integrated circuits but just from the looks of it, scaling it up to make an entire processor seems a little far fetched.

If you're in it for the fun of having a small project you can pretty easily make your own PCB and solder microchips onto it in almost any home garage.
This vaccine is against the entire spike glycoprotein. Some in production vaccines are only against the RBD (the protein that actually latches onto ACE2). There are variants out there that have been shown to escape RBD antibodies. However, since this vaccine encodes the entire spike, there are other areas that antibodies can bind to. They stated in their press release that the vaccine elicits a Th1, CD4+, and CD8+ T-cell response against both the RBD and other areas on the spike. I think this is the most promising aspect. This means it should hopefully be effective against even escape variants.
What “transition” are the Germans up to exactly?
One of the most frustrating things about mega corps like Facebook is that it’s really easy for them to make dumb decisions and just keep going. They’re too large for anything but the biggest mistakes to bring market pressure to bear.

The literal worst case here for FB is that a few people don’t buy a Quest II, which isn’t even core to their business success.
A big one is simply price. Produce tends to be cheapest, often dramatically so, while it is in season.
Off topic but I got curious about the Kopyleft mention at the bottom of the article. I was familiar with the notion of Copyleft, but not with the variant with a "K" ; so I googled it and found this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Anti-Wikipedianism

> One of the main sources of Anti-Wikipedianism is the radical far copyLeft (also referred to as Kopyleft, with the Communist K, i.e. Das Kapital). They expect Wikipedia to forbid content from being used for commercial purposes.

But on the article, it is written "Do as you like.". So I am a bit confused. Can we really do "as we like", or can we use this content for commercial purpuses..?
I'm thinking of 6to4.
Answers like yours are just cherry-picking some approaches to support your favourite solution, veganism. There are many more of those kinds of problems, stemming from a common one, overpopulation. Any linear approach reducing consumption of something glosses over the fact that world population is still in exponential growth, and factors influencing that are barely understood and at best handwaving arguments about expected slowdowns are provided. Veganism is throwing a hotdog at a herd of hungry lions here...
One of my routers came with OpenWRT, so it's certainly possible to get routers that use it as 1st party firmware.

As for routers with random vendor firmware, I'm not familiar enough with all of the vendors out there to give an authoritative answer but I've seen or helped with plenty of routers that support many of the things on your list.
> Is getting COVID safe long term?

For most people yes

edit: so the whole world is studying this virus 24/7 for almost a year and nobody detected anything, yet you think it might give us aids v2 ? Feel free to link any study that hints to anything remotely going in that direction because I couldn't find anything at all.
IMO the most interesting metric these days is bug price.

https://zerodium.com/program.html

Chrome bugs are currently selling for $500k and Firefox/Edge bugs are selling for $100k. It's kind of shocking that we got to this point, but for comparison, a full Chrome exploit sells for the same amount as a full exploit for IIS or Apache. Firefox and Edge sell for the same price as a full exploit in Wordpress.
That one does not prevent downloading; just prevents application.
I've never heard of that. Is it a recent thing (past five years) or a really old thing?
I initially thought so too, but there are some big losers in the market today - think home delivery (Ocado) , entertainment (Netflix), and more interestingly specialist Covid test suppliers.
I can't say I've had those problems, other than throughput being worse (which is a result of proprietary acceleration chips with no published specs to write OSS drivers with). v6 works great on OpenWRT for me -- but then again, so does v4.
Economists have many choices when their models break: they can go poetic "tragedy of the commons", technical "externalities", John Nash "prisoner's dilemma", or even sort of nonsensical "internalizing externalities".
It feels, to me, that a duopoly is worse for the consumer than a monopoly. Monopolies behave better due to fear of regulation, but in a duopoly's justify their own bad behaviour based on the their counter-party.
"Ensure all producers are using the same partitioner"

Great point. I have spent hours debugging an issue where messages seemed to be out of order for no good reason. The issue turned out to be a difference in partitioners.
Both. I do not believe that non-blind tests are worthless. When you are dealing with subtle effects, knowing what to listen for actually helps in detecting the difference. However, I tried both blind and non-blind. Did not like both times. I really wanted to like Class-D though, it is not like I was prejudiced.
Yes and that's a good thing. I think it's still important to recognise that not everyone is as privileged as many of us here, and that an inclusive approach to distribution will be important for this vaccine.
No, they showed an antibody response in the spring. That's the easy part. This is the real-deal clinical trial: they gave tens of thousands of people the vaccine candidate, tens of thousands a placebo, and then counted the resulting cases for months, as well as watching for side effects. The 90% reduction is in actual cases.
Except ZM
This is a topic I'm somewhat obsessed over. I think it's a real problem these days, we are bombarded with things competing to make us into short-attention-spanned dopamine addicts and it screws up our lives badly. The Matthew Crawford books "The World Beyond Your Head: On Becoming an Individual in an Age of Distraction" and "Shopcraft as Soulcraft" are super interesting reads on this topic.

I'm biased, being a musician, but my experience and many of my colleagues is that musicians are often excellent coders, and I credit this to the fact that you need to master your attention to become a good musician. There is no other way than getting good at putting yourself alone in a room with no distractions and practicing in a focused manner. I remember when I hired a friend of mine (pro bass player) as a junior coder and it was so obvious watching him learn.

Personally my top tips for getting better at attention management would be:

- Take up an instrument or some other hobby involving regular, quiet, uninterrupted, solo deliberate practice. Do it daily. It becomes your rinse cycle.

- Adopt the pomorodoro or other similar technique of doing 20-30 minutes of completely focused, uninterrupted work at a time and then taking a real break for a few minutes. This is both how I work and practice.

- Read a lot, on paper.

- Run - IMHO way better than lifting for overall mental effects and mental focus

- Get enough sleep, religiously

my two cents Canadian. :-)

Well actually, violence is not just physical in nature.

You can be fiscally violent, i.e. harsh sanctions/trade wars, you can be emotionally violent, why you can commit unspeakable acts of violence without ever striking another person.

Theft of resources to a point of detriment is always violence.

Stealing an apple from Farmer John so you can eat is not violence.

Destroying the ecosystem which Farmer John uses to grow his apples, so that you can have more apples, is violence.

Overfishing in or near territories to the point of resource scarcity is 100%, always violence.
Well, we’ll see. But it’s not like our current way of dealing with drugs is working in this country, no matter how you look at it.

But this argument feels like a lot of pearl-clutching without basis in science. Point to the research, don’t just scare people that drug addicts are going to descend in droves upon neighborhoods and ruin them with crime.

Separate point: This new law has generated a lot of memes from people who didn’t bother to read past the headline. But to me, the forgotten element here is that in the United States, drug laws are wielded disproportionately against people of color, who end up in jail at much higher rates for similar offenses as white people. [1]

Want to talk about crime? Our current way of doing things creates criminals. It puts people in jail, who can’t afford to get out, who then struggle to repair their lives and get hired in decent jobs. It’s a downward cycle of despair and — I would argue — one of the clearest examples of racial disparity we have.

Without sterilizing immunity, will the amount of virus a vaccinated individual carries match that of a non vaccinated individual, though? I guess what I (a layman) is asking is, even if the vaccinated individual contracts the virus, won't they spread less of it than someone truly sick?
Honest question:

What would this app be useful for?
Ask HN: How does Twitter stream new tweets even when internet connection is down
My internet was down for an hour, none of the host were able to be resolved except twitter.com probably because of the cache I'm guessing.

In my Tp-Link router (Archer) it showed `Poor network` on the PPPoE connection with the ISP. (DNS servers down?)

Although the media content like images and videos weren't able to resolve twitter was able to stream new tweets with the text content.

I am not a network expert. What am I missing here?
Old Dogs, New Research and the Secrets of Aging
Did they consider using another VM for OCaml? (Like JVM, CLR, or perhaps even transpile to GoLang)?
I don't see how that's front-end UX-related? I think the "favourite bands" example is pretty contrived, but the idea behind Solid is that your Pod can be used to store all your data, i.e. you could also use a Solid-connected music player that stores data like your playback history in your Pod. That would be the way to get people to enter it.
Discussion about Rust Singleton
Weird. I keep buying general-purpose computers from them on the regular. They're called "Macs".
We do not know yet.
Developers have made massive gains overall by commoditizing their complements. Linux OS is almost surely the largest single example of this.

How many fewer developer jobs would there be now if every OS installation cost what Solaris used to cost (or even what Win2K8 Server cost)?
Smaller tomatoes taste better because they are easier to ship without damaging (they're lighter and have a much lower mass to surface area ratio). As such, producers and supply chains don't have to go to the same extremes (breeding them to be tough rather than flavorful/picking them completely green) to get them to the supermarket shelf intact.

Similarly, canned tomatoes taste great[1] because they are picked ripe and packaged.

[1] Canned tomatoes have a slight cooked taste so they're never going to taste fresh, but are great in anything you're going to cook.
We cannot be sure. Like, we have no idea.
This is what FHIR is meant to be.
Yeap, to be honest I just put that title to get more attention, but also I can say that is a crowdsourced list, and I'm not getting paid by any company to submit any data. Unluckily I didn't find a way yet to keep the submission easy enough to keep people sharing their salaries but not too much to prevent trolls to post fake ones. Anyways I regularly cleaning the DB and removing fake submissions by hand, and some people are reporting them using the link at the bottom of the salary details Page.
I'm open to ideas to make this site more trustworthy. I think I was to naive to think that people would understand that the only way to help each other is submitting their real salary.
So you're arguing that absentee ballot by mail is the problem? None of the states in question did automatic mail in voting. Each voter had to apply for absentee. And given the politicization of the pandemic, Trump made it a virtue signal to vote day-of in person. So of course the absentee vote was heavily D, and it came in from heavily D areas to start.

I voted absentee and honestly it felt more secure than any in person voting I've ever done. I had to apply, fill out, and then drop off my vote in a box. My wife wasn't even allowed to drop off my vote, and instead I had to do it personally. I was then able to track it online and verify it was counted without an issue. Contrast this to when I hit some buttons in person and have no idea what happens after that. The point is, you have to trust the process at some point, and in this case fraud is so unlikely across multiple states with 10s of thousands of votes.
i'm involved in some state government COVID vaccine projects. The issue is you can't just knock together cold storage like this, there's (naturally) a long process to get "approved" and "certified" for vaccine administration. Storage is one of these criteria, they're not going to hand over a batch of vaccine to some doc with a cooler of dry ice.
How could that possibly be the problem?

This maybe _was_ the problem in the beginning of the pandemic. Now, it's in the general population and will spread even if you ban all airplanes and repurpose airports into petting zoos.
>To nitpick: They are not stealing it, they're using it per the license terms. Don't like that? Well, choose a different license.

Agreed, and you're not even nitpicking, this is a significant point that devs need to understand before they choose to go open source.
