What do you want to record as feedback? I can see it helping to show how a UI component behaves or even how to use an IDE's features to fix a class of problems you identified. It might help showing the code being written?

However, for any process you might want to record, remember people are used to inferring the process from end results, so it's probable diffs and before/after screenshots are easier for people to digest compared to screen recordings.

In an immune suppressed individual treated with convalescent plasma, this treatment changed the viral population to favor a viral strain that was able to escape the antibodies.

In a related way, implementing large scale vaccination while large numbers of infected people interact with immunized people sounds like an efficient way to discover vaccine-escaping strains. This vaccine-escaping selection should be more than offset by the fact that vaccination will result in fewer infections and lessen the opportunity for more, worse strains to evolve.

Still, it would be better if we could avoid exposing a huge population of immunized people to a huge population of infected people. It's obvious everything would be better with fewer infected people, but it's still dawning on some that benefits include fewer strains and maybe more effective vaccination impacts.

He also has MC with Python scripting: https://github.com/psprint/mc

Edit: and is submitting at least some code upstream e.g. https://midnight-commander.org/ticket/4160

Here's another snapshot from 2018: http://web.archive.org/web/20180205093432/http://starship.py...

How experienced are you in topping trees and installing antennas?

IMO the safest way for a heavy older person to climb and then top a tree is to have the right safety equipment, years of experience doing this kind of thing and some other experienced person to help.

Other than that, if you're willing to risk life and limb, at least hire an expert to assess your materials and proposition.

Oh, and if you really end doing this, try topping and attaching an antenna to a... say 8' tree first. That way you can learn the basics from simple maiming, instead of more severe outcomes.

I find it amusing that the answer to "how can I help test" is "that people test the -rc releases when I announce them, and let me know if they work or not for their systems/workloads/tests/whatever". No smoke tests, no automated tools, no suggested workloads, no fuzzing, just "fool around and report back". There probably are lots of kernel testing tools around, but you wouldn't learn that from the linked article.

"This project is a labor of love (or more accurately, a labor of like). Del.icio.us was founded by my friends in 2003, sold a whole bunch of times, and when it was about to get sold again to spammers in 2017, I took the opportunity to buy it back.

My current goal is to keep the site up and accessible as a museum of links past."

Maybe that's something that could complement Archive.org's mission: have a non-profit identify, monitor and eventually aquire decrepit user data rich websites/companies. Keeping the data from falling into bad actors hands isn't much of a help, because it can always happen regardless of ownership. But with benevolent owners like Maciej, users may have a way to access their own data/content.

Either has been resolved or the scammers are trying to keep a low profile: scammy tweets removed, avatars reset.

Thank you. I'd like to offer more of a content description:

Verified Twitter user￳￳ @GerronJordan uses avatar and screen name from Ch￳a￳m￳a￳￳￳t￳h￳ ￳Pa￳I￳hi￳a￳pt￳￳iya (@chamat) to post clear scam:

    ATTENTION. I have decided to hold a special event and share this.

    Remove extra spaces!

The x'ed out word is social if you want to investigate.

Can you post a screenshot showing the three verified accounts involved?

"Precise line numbers for debugging and other tools" is such a no-brainer, but coverage.py's author had a real hard time getting that acknowledged as a valid use case.

It seems extremely handy, but also a huge exposed surface. Can't find any mentions of security design, fuzzing, mitigation strategies...

Is it just paranoia, or should a "preview almost anything" application include inevitable exploits in its design?

Looks very promising. Are there any channels available to provide feedback or suggest specific content?

First off, major respect for being open about mental health, it's something tech needs more. Second, kudos for fighting, both before, during and after this episode, you'll be an example to me when (if is too optimistic) I go through it again.

I don't know other way to get in contact with these people other than Twitter, but you should consider sending a DM to @pinboard, @popehat and @yashar. And it might be better not to read their feeds before you do.

So either IDE and/or repository would show these? Sounds very useful and somewhat straightforward (if involved) to create, so I expect it to exist in some form. Will report back if I find anything.

Something that could ingest an app's GUI code then render it as some accessible and editable... thing? So that users (and devs?) can easily produce mocks and proposed feature screenshots.

Like some sort of generic reverse wireframe sketcher.

The repo reads like research code, and indeed seems to be an article's companion code plus platform example code. The code in question was committed in 2018 and never touched again.

That's no excuse, it pretty literally does "innerhtml = user_input" and it's awful. But it's not a flagship chatbot library from what I see, which probably lessens the impact of such awfulness.

Agreed, local reporting culture (and how it's received elsewhere) probably has a big impact. Besides serious/entertaining news, there's also the fact some places/news cultures relish reporting on exotic stuff, while others feel belittled/offended and actively fight reporting with, say, a "Florida Man" or "UFO true believers in town" flavor.

The other side of the coin is exaggerating the exoticness of people's behavior, animal facts, etc., reported from obscure far away places, but for which very similar examples exist locally (and most likely wouldn't result in successful news articles).

Maybe because some kinds of news tend not to be considered newsworthy if it doesn't come from "interesting" countries. Or tend to not to even gather local interest, fizzling out before being picked up elsewhere. E.g. in South America there are (a few?) very active ufologists, purported UFO sightings, people claiming abductions, communications or contacts with aliens. Sometimes they even manage to capture some lights in the sky. But they are (or were as of a decade ago) not taken particularly seriously by local press, so I'd expect the vast majority of these claims, specially those with a strong local flavor, not to bubble up to international news.

Does your impression come from general news or reading UFO sites? I'd expect a lot more (badly) reported incidents from other countries in specialized media.

Maybe if you're reproducing a scientific experiment you should use the original package versions? New releases of pip or scientific libraries won't support Python 2, but the old versions should still work. And you won't be running different code from using up-to-date versions.

Here's the pilot, for as long as it lasts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4ywpyIRVH8

That's a lot of very specific claims with no corroborating details, to the point I wondered whether it's real at all.

Seems to be, headed by a Chris Bedford (apparently a The Federalist Senior Editor?).

A little feedback: blog posts about how to use small interesting features can help prospective users form a simple mental model of how Hirundin works. That can help the big concepts presented in the site to stick to something the user already sees some practical value in.

Or: maybe work with a persona for a drive-by visitor who could really use Hirundin but doesn't have a lot of time to read about it or try the demo. Maybe do A/B tests of showing a simple task how to ("how to setup an A/B test and goals with Hirudin"?) and see if it improves the time users spend on the site/demo.

Edited to add: looks really interesting and likely to have big positive impacts for many teams.

"The American Journal of Medicine" doesn't, one study published in it does. The title is "Pathophysiological Basis and Rationale for Early Outpatient Treatment of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Infection". It brings no new information regarding Hydroxochloroquine, but instead claims other studies show enough benefits (while not being classical good quality data as usually required) to recommend it in their protocol. Also recommends zinc and azithromycin. Bit of a nothing burger IMO.

This sounds like a risky approach. There are many ways this could backfire, from burning out the buffer person to creating a culture of prioritizing bad clients. Not saying it's impossible to routinely handle abusive customers and make a consistent profit, just that's a risky proposition that takes special (not necessarily in a positive way) talent to pull off.

I would contact/DM Ben Collins[0] or Brandy Zadrozny[1], dump all information available and request assistance making an effective report to the authorities. They have seen and reported on dozens of similar cases, often making official investigations move forward.
