Good point. There would be a few details like this to work out, of course. My first suggestion would be to allow text-boxes to be pre-populated with form data (like QTY and SKU) subject to tight restrictions. (There would be no script code sniffing the user's fingerprint before the text boxes are populated with SKU data, for example.) So a web dev could still create a shopping page with Add-to-Cart buttons such that clicking the button tells the server the SKU and QTY added to cart for session SESSION_ID. And the user transparently observes exactly which sequence of Unicode codepoints is being transmitted to the server upon clicking the Add-to-Cart button.
Things can get very messy when installing Spyder via pip and then trying to upgrade stuff. Distutils tends to screw these updates up. I've nuked my local Python packages recently due to that mess and made a clean reinstall, but I guess that's not what you'd like to do if you have many Python packages other than Spyder installed.

Show HN: Unicode Lookup – A fast, simple, and quick Unicode lookup tool
Heyo!

I've only recently dug into the big world of Unicode, but when doing so, I found the tools available sorely lacking. Most were server-side or needed to be downloaded and had confusing interfaces and buggy behavior.

The solution was to build my own. Turns out it's super easy to just download a 1.9MB text file and parse it using JavaScript. The entire application is client-side, so requests are quick and technically work offline.

Right click a symbol to copy it. Left click to open more information about it.
Simple Search is the default. Click the button in the upper right to do some more sophisticated filtering with "Advanced Search".

I'll probably make it a PWA once I figure out how to properly do cache busting.

On a different note, I don't know many people who are interested in Unicode lookup tools and/or those who use such tools regularly. I've added in features that I personally found useful, but do let me know if there are killer features you'd like for it to have.

Manhattan is much more dense, and even in the 70s and early 80s, when I was there, it wasn't as bad as San Francisco. I live 40 miles south of SF and I refuse to go there.
I'd call that "you went to a restaurant offering Asian Fusion cuisine and confused it with a Korean restaurant". I've been in Korean restaurants where I would have leapt at the chance to order ramen; it's not something you can do. (I loathe and despise Korean food, but I was working for a Korean guy...)

We can also note that you seem to be including a lot of European food, like risotto, in the category of "Asian food".
Just wait until companies like this become more focused on B2B and just get doctors to collect the samples for them for a payout.
I'm surprised it still works, to be honest–Homebrew is usually fairly aggressive about dropping support for older systems.
Everyone loves an underdog but I can not imagine that this could possibly work. Why do you think bio-hackers could come up with something that thousands of smart people in the industry could not? The money would almost certainly be better spent on upgrading production facilities in advance and starting vaccine production long before approval. This has the risk that they might need to trash everything if the trial is not successful but in the case it is, production has a headstart.
I would be very interested in reading more about this. Do you plan on publishing something based on your research?

Both what.cd and oink were amazing communities. I haven’t seen anything as involved as these projects since.
This is not reasonable. Everybody should know enough first aid to deal with a heart attack until EMTs get there. It's not that hard, the course only takes a couple of long days. Dealing with every variety of mental illness is orders of magnitude harder. Social workers have master's degrees, not a certificate from a 2-day course.

Just let cops figure out how to do their regular jobs right, rather than making them the first responders to an embarrassingly terrible social safety net.
Before going full nuclear it's always possible to deescalate, and when a first strike means the end of civilization, deescalation is the only rational option.
Also the stricter the content security policy the more xss holes you can plug.
The armed robbery was the event that pushed them over the edge. The other robberies/thefts they mention were just people stealing stuff. I think it's also possible that a community that ignores theft isn't too harsh on more serious crimes too.
I see your point with Intercom, but it feels like you're arguing that two wrongs make a right. It doesn't make me think MagicBell takes security very seriously, but perhaps I'm just paranoid.

Regardless, the copy on the website is improved. You may also want to add a warning and link anywhere your website documents the "userEmail" option.

On another note, in terms of the implementation here, I'm surprised you're asking users to use HMAC and base64 manually, instead of using standardized JWTs. Did anything in particular motivate that decision?

I quite like the product overall - I think it's very clever how you componentized everything. The security decisions just have me concerned.
Seems like that's exactly the solution they're going for, since they're closing the store that's in a high-crime area.
So, there is a world market for five quantum computers that anyone can use?
In bay we paid roughly 60K USD for an infant and a toddler, and had them in different daycares for a while due to waitlists.

Affordances of Abuse: What Overwatch Creators Could Learn from Death Stranding
Those pickup trucks have been around since at least the 80s if not the 70s. I remember seeing them as a kid on the Burlington Northern tracks outside Chicago.
I understand where you're coming from, but I will offer this counterpoint:

I think that's ok. I think we can find ways to interact, collaborate, and work, that don't tolerate behaviours we wouldn't find acceptable in a social setting. I think raising the bar for acceptable behaviour is a good thing.

And while people will abuse this (both intentionally and due to personal struggles), It's not like people weren't abusing things the old way too.

I would rather have people take advantage of an _intolerance_ for toxicity than have people take advantage of a _tolerance_ for it.
>as a topic group is no less impactful than "computer hacking."

It's way less impactful. An amateur playing with computers might not achieve what a pro can, but it obviously has some effect. Computer programs are rarely a placebo.

Little these so-called bio-hackers do is known to be effective. That's almost by definition.

Right, we haven't had resources to invest on it, so it's been developed by the community.

It'd be nice if we could use Neovim for text manipulations and show what comes back from it in our editor. If only days had 36 hours...
It still seems pretty rare, even if it's more common. I have had some similar symptoms, and similar interactions with doctors in the past. No, I don't think I have cancer. But, what I want to know is what is the probability of having this condition given the symptoms. In other words, use Bayes' rule. Most doctors seem incapable of thinking this way! If it's a 1% chance that I have a life-threatening condition because there's blood in my stool, then it makes sense to get diagnostic that would test for that. I know these datasets exist, but why can't my doctor make use of this, or me for that matter?
By "caving" to governments, it seems like Apple and Google are trying to prevent new regulations from being implemented that would harm their businesses. Think about that for a second. Google is huge. Billions of dollars are at a stake for not only them, but their shareholders.

If Google is nice to the government, perhaps their good behavior will be remembered when it comes to voting on new legislation that would harm their business and shareholders.

Vast wealth right next to abject poverty and hopelessness. Like a spark that, with sufficient potential, jumps a gap.

An article I read recently noted that there were zero arrests in 6 months of health care professionals replacing police officers.
At the root of cancel culture is the freedom of association. Ultimately people either feel fraternity amongst each other or they don't.

I might argue that the freedom to not bake cakes or employ gay people with regards to religious rights is also part of the freedom of association. People either feel the love or they don't.

> You can't reasonably expect a government to welcome a business into their country

But the country already allows "unlocked" PCs to be sold in the country.

It is already allowing people to purchase devices that could work against the country.

> should be in charge of engineering social behavior

Intel is already selling PCs though.

Why is it so crazy to suggest that phone companies should act more like what intel is already doing, by selling unlocked electronics?

> In my opinion, this is a dangerous path.

So you think that any company that is selling unlocked devices, is going down a dangerous path? Really?
On macOS, one major drawback is that if you use a non-standard installation directory for Homebrew, you can no longer install binary packages and everything is compiled from source.

If you can live with that, you should be fine though.
Laicite is stupid

France doesn't understand freedom of religion, a fundamental human right which they have pledged to uphold. Take the french school headscarf ban or the stupid outrage about the Burkini
Kind of funny that kids (and adults) often have a mentality that school is/was a prison, something they were sent to against their will.

When people are in prison and school becomes something that can be taken away, it looks more like a privilege.

They segregate Chinese data in China and have easy access to it. I wonder if they leave the rest of the world data in the US.

The QR code is scanned, not the text on the paper printout, as far as I understand
It would only be a protection racket if the cops were conspiring with those who commit the robberies. Lots of businesses pay for security for all kinds of obvious reasons; just because the cost of security is deemed to be lower than the cost of not having it doesn't mean that anyone is running a "racket".
I think that's part of it. Imagine doing demanding or demeaning labor all day and making a tenth of what the guy spending 7-8 hours a day typing on a computer and playing Ping Pong makes. That would certainly seem unfair to me. Can't afford nice stuff, but you could take it...

On top of that, SF refuses to punish crimes like theft, so...

That makes sense

I'm honestly tempted to take a swing at the "open replacement" that you described in your original post..... Though I never actually used Flash back in the day, so I'd need to do some research
This is really resonating with me, after two years in a job that had me think "I want to quit" by the weekly, it becomes the new normal and I can't imagine that a job can be stress-free, enjoyable, and provide good work-life balance. I just can't imagine that this exist.

I just quit my current job, and I told myself that I will quit in less than 6 months if I don't like the new gig. Never again.

Easier to get a sympathy by claiming it was about back rubs.
I wonder about the timing and behavior aspects. If there was near total compliance with masks and if they are highly effective then it would make sense that remaining infections were via the eye.

But I'm surprised wearing a mask with glasses wouldn't lead to more incompliance or accidental exposure due to fogging..
Ice cream is a particular bitch to scale; it seems. Look at Blue Bell. Either you lose the delicate fats (fake ice cream blah) or you get contamination problems, or you stay small batch.

For recent iPhones (11+), batteries and screens are tied to the original iPhone. You can't swap out a battery/screen from a spare iPhone 11 to a non-functioning iPhone 11 and resurrect the dead iPhone.

I didn't mean to imply I thought it was funny per se, it would have been more accurate to say "didn't get the reference". If you aren't familiar with the terminology, it's quite confusing.
Exactly, finesse is the name of the game for sure.
There is a wide spectrum between uninterested and not-desperate.
Appearing that you are desperate to get out of your current job is a far bigger red flag in most interview processes than appearing "not that interested".

It's like the other side of the coin of people who are super paranoid of getting fired if your boss finds out you are interviewing. If you are providing value, being a flight risk (within reason) increases your value not decreases.

You don't want to be so obviously foot out the door that they are looking for your replacement, but being the happy, uncomplaining soldier is not going to get you optimal raises/promotions.

On second thought, it would be bad for my government to ban Twitter, but I still wish more people would decide to stop using it.

To quote Elon Musk: ,,The most entertaining outcome is the most likely''.

I see just the opposite when I look around Reddit: MIPS is dying. Google Play services is not updated on it, and I don't see why people would port new games on it.

You need neural networks running efficiently to run all the face swap algorithms (V in RISC-V was for vector support originally), GPUs supported (again a RISC-V GPU ISA extension is in development), JIT acceleration (J extension). If it's not exciting for developers, it won't win for consumer devices.
The point is that companies argued to continue doing business with South Africa because it would be a net benefit to those countries. It’s the same argument.
I think it's reasonable for laymen to be skeptical of expert consensus in soft, non-experimental fields, especially when the consensus frequently changes significantly and is strongly influenced by industry, e.g. the views on dietary sugar/fat, cause of alzheimer's, lobotomies...

Particularly when consensus is not unanimous.

I was 41 when I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. I had blood in my stool and my GP misdiagnosed me due to my age. If I hadn't pushed the issue, I wouldn't be here now.

If you ever have blood in your stool, get an exam. Preferably by a gastroenterologist.
I don't get it. Why would any government allow a business to operate if they don't respect local laws. Would the US allow that?

On principle, I sort of reject this notion that a giant corporation(s) should be encouraged to meddle in the internal matters of other countries. I think these kinds of moves will be perceived very differently by the locals. The famous line "They will welcome us as liberators with open arms..." (paraphrased) comes to mind :)

I think it is far better to promote your ideas peacefully using other means, rather than by forcing a government to adopt your views because you threaten them with economic consequences by pulling out of the country.

If all you are learning is how to build a React site you are going to have a bad time in a few years.

Actually now what I'm thinking is: if I have the savings, the safety net, etc. next time I want to quit and look for something else, I'll just quit, and then spend enjoy as much free time as I want (in month unit), and then only look for a job when I want to go back into a job. The reason is: if you look for a job while you already have a job, then they'll end up forcing you to start earlier than you want, or you'll have that pressure at least. Better to quit and enjoy your free time, and then get back into a job when you're ready.

Warning to companies that market themselves as messiahs
Sometimes I see startups waxing lyrical about how they're helping the little guy by sticking it to the big corporates / the boomers / the Government / the [insert hated flavour of the month]. It's almost the equivalent of the modern company .

If this is you, hear me out.

Any time you market yourself as a messiah, or as someone fighting for the little person against the tyranny of someone else, you inevitably put yourself on a pedestal (how high will depend on how far you're able to push that message).

If you can stay up there, good for you...but it can be a long fall from the top if things go awry.

I wrote a post here recapping the Gamestop saga and how the app Robinhood went from the people's champion to their whipping boy: https://thisweekintech.substack.com/p/robinhood-men-in-headbands

It's a long read, but I'm hoping it'll make us all think twice about our messaging (note: I don't mean mission - that can, and should be, as lofty as you like).
Perhaps failing is so normalized in tech that I'm naive to how the rest of the world thinks, but I don't think failures of the kind Caliphate made should cost someone their job no more than an outage should cost an engineer theirs. A blameless retrospective should occur with the appropriate updates to process so it can't happen again. This was an institutional failure, and I don't suddenly feel better about the accuracy of the New York Times because Andy Mills is not there. I doubt anyone else feels different.

To me, where this went off the rails was when Caliphate turned into a story about privilege and an individual's character, regardless of the truth behind it. I can see why it was allowed to happen, because it distracts from the institutional pattern of behavior by the NYT. Based on the characterization here and my understanding of the Caliphate story, this does not feel like justice. It feels like a witch hunt.
