The remaining 5% are the same jokes and memes repeated ad nauseam.

Not indefinite lock down, but tight border controls. There are only a couple of hundred active cases in NZ currently. We are looking at exiting from our stricter lockdown next week.

The disease is close to eradicated inside the borders of NZ. At this point there are only a couple of hundred active cases and we’ve now had a couple of days with 0 new cases. Australia seems to be on track for the same thing.

I don’t really understand how so. Countries that have handled it aggressively at least have the option to open borders and allow the virus to spread if they felt like that would for some reason put them in a better position. But this way they can hold off for a vaccine or effective treatment and have a far better outcome.

Just chiming in to say this looks really cool. Especially good for a personal laptop where you’re going to be using it for lots of different purposes.

I don’t really see how this is more of a direct advertisement than other Show HN posts and the service is free.

New Zealand definitely benefited a lot from being a remote island nation but our response also got a lot of things right. For example, being quick to implement travel restrictions and eventually a closed border. The other example that stood out to me was that the country decided to go into its highest level of lockdown when the first cases of community transmission were detected (I believe when it was decided we had 2 cases of community transmission).

So I definitely agree that NZ benefited a lot by being more remote and having no land borders, but we are only doing so well because we didn’t underestimate the virus and took drastic action early.

I was more referring to how it knows once it’s finished since the task is asynchronous. So for the backend to find out, it could do the select you mentioned and find out it’s still in progress. Then it checks again next second and still in progress. Then checks again and it’s done. But now your backend has been polling for an update and so you might as well have performed the task in the application because it is still being used up for the duration of the task.

What I mean is that if your backend is polling for a task to finish, that is also taking away time from other users. For some tasks that won’t matter because the backend won’t need to be aware of the outcome of the task but there could be some longer jobs that the backend needs to be aware of the outcome right away. You could get it so the polling is done on the front end and then passes the outcome to the backend but that obviously isn’t a good idea because then the backend is trusting outcome data from the front end.

One aspect of this set up I’ve never been able to understand is how the application then gets the result from the worker? If it’s polling for status from the backend doesn’t that defeat the purpose of having a worker to begin with? Or does this set up only work for tasks that don’t need to have the backend notified about the result so the front end can just poll for the result via the application?

Annotate is a valid git command though right?

What country is that?

Can’t you type a passcode into your phone instead of having it scan your face?

How long would we expect it to take to find out if this is something that can widely be used to combat Covid-19?

Excuse my ignorance but would a colder temperature but with rain help prevent due to the high humidity or does it require heat AND humidity?

This sort of comment really isn’t appropriate for HN.

Victimless how? They had their package stolen.

You're right, it is just to paywall pro features. I was mistaken. Mixed it up with other Reddit clients.

I'm completely mistaken here, Apollo has no ads. One-time fee is for other features.

You're completely right, I was mistaken. Was thinking of other Reddit client's I've tried. It's been a long time since I purchased the full edition so my memory is a bit hazy. Sorry about that.

It shows it’s own ads, not Reddit’s. you can pay a one-time fee to remove them as well.

Why would it not be static? It could be a static site making a request to an API to log in?

Until you turn your computer off I suppose. Could always set up a server running screen or tmux and ssh into it each time I suppose.

This is at the device level as opposed to network level of pihole.

I definitely don’t know as much about batteries as you clearly do but yes, the phone will return to normal clock speed after a battery change. It keeps being reported as “older phones” but it’s really more like older batteries.

Agreed. Camera upload to DropBox is one situation I've run into. Currently it seems like it's using some janky set up where each time I change location it triggers an event to look for new photos to upload but this results in Apple notifying me of DropBox looking up my location X amount of times in the last few days.

I’m guessing he means provisioning servers.

I missed that. Why were they kicked off the play store?

Am I missing something? Why is Brave considered anti gay?

> this vulnerability is remotely exploitable in smtpd, ldapd, and radiusd, but its real-world impact should be studied on a case-by-case basis. For example, sshd is not exploitable thanks to its defense-in-depth mechanisms.

Does this mean OpenBSD will have to update the tagline on their website that says "Only two remote holes in the default install, in a heck of a long time!"?
