It's not the authors' fault you're too fucking dumb to understand basic facts about how journalism works. Go shill some more ivermectin, you nutter.

Yeah although the docs claim to support things like regex-based searches, it's so horrendously slow it shouldn't even be listed as a feature.

No commits in 2 years. Seems Google lost interest like usual.

Wow it's almost as if multiple people comment on things here and they have different opinions!

MacOS major version release are so underwhelming to me. They're not so much OS updates as they're updates to built-in apps I don't use or use at a very surface level: Safari, Facetime, Apple Maps, Messages, etc.

I'm not really sure what I'd want out of a new MacOS, though. It's been stable and (for my purposes) feature-complete for many years now. I don't remember the last time a MacOS upgrade added a feature I wanted but didn't yet have, nor the last time they added a feature I didn't realize I wanted because I'd never imagined it. The latter used to be what made Apple products stand out to me.

Hahahaha no, Alabama is not doing well...at anything.

Yeah let's run the country like Alabama instead. They're doing well! /s

Most of our screen time is spent working. 8+ hours staring at a screen is bad enough for our eyes and brains. Imagine how much worse it will be when that screen is an inch from your eyeballs. I highly doubt that VR will be replacing screens for anything but occasional recreation anytime soon.

No, I don't think there's an excuse for anyone writing this badly.

What in the...? Those are the sorts of things that make you enjoy a novel? Jesus...

The only character in the first book who exhibited any kind of personality was the gruff cop who swears, doesn't care if he's not allowed to smoke inside, and takes no shit from anyone. It's almost laughable how bad the author is at characterization.

Thus the manual review. No one's going to be going to prison over a hash collision here.

This is clearly not an example of a politician simply "misspeaking".

That's a person not an example.

If it's all Python, why not use Prefect?

Good riddance. It's telling that most of the employees losing their jobs over this across the country are almost never physicians and researchers (and only occasionally nurses). It's mostly support staff: people who often have no scientific or medical training and/or no college degree. That should tell you a lot about how justifiable their die-hard belief is.

If your ETL code is written in Python, just use Prefect and thank me later: https://docs.prefect.io/

Oh, long before that.

In addition to being a language that does almost nothing to encourage good development practices and discourage bad ones, compared to Python the R ecosystem's tooling is just so inferior in every area: IDE, unit/functional testing, ETL, deployment, dependency management, etc. etc.

R, RStudio, and Shiny are great for prototyping, but you'd regret building a production data science ecosystem around them. Better to start with Python and rely on JavaScript viz tools in the end.

Let's hope it's a wake-up call to HN admins that they need to rescind this unjustifiable and user-hostile policy.

They absolutely do not need any extra cash...

It's infuriating to me that WebSQL was killed. 99% of real-world data is relational and yet the powers that be decided that we should all be forced to use IndexedDB and hacky layers like PouchDB built atop it.

I'm excited about https://github.com/jlongster/absurd-sql though.

Ok, and if you want your non-web app to be compatible with Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android and you don't want to write more than one app, your options are...?

At some point in time after infection, viral load might be the same, but:

the viral loads decreased more rapidly in vaccinated than unvaccinated individuals in Singapore [3], suggesting that vaccinated individuals may remain infectious for shorter periods of time.

That should be a clear indication your analogy is garbage...

Please explain to me how a thief is going to use the existence of this tech to enable theft.

That car would be a death trap in the U.S. because most Americans feel the need to choose their personal vehicle as if it's some sort of urban tank. It would get crushed by even a small SUV or truck.

I'd love to live in a world where it's safe to be on the road driving a scooter, moped, smartcar, etc., without worrying if Karen in her Humvee is going to flatten me because she literally can't see the street within 20ft of her bumper.

I understand, but you can't have it both ways: You can either build a minimal Twitter clone that limits user-submitted content and not worry too much about security/abuse, or you can build a web host. The latter entails a comparatively enormous amount of responsibility you don't seem keen to take on.

How are they isolated if you can inject JS that downloads resources from anywhere else? I mean, just to start:

- You have no CSP header that I can see.

- You do expose the server version in the headers, though.

- The site is available at a non-SSL-secured domain.

- There's no X-Frame-Options, X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies, etc.
