What would a unit test look like for a tool that downloads videos from third party sites?

This is awesome, thank you!

I have now! Thank :)

Please design and produce this. I suffer from extreme hyperhidrosis. I would pay quite a lot of money to be able to keep my skin cool and dry day to day. The market for this is huge and underserved.

Seriously who designed a system that habituates people to giving out 2fa codes over the phone?? That's explicitly a weakness of the 2fa system, nobody should ever read out or forward their 2fa code.

The problem is that customers don't remember basically anything. I don't know my telephone banking password for any bank. When I call, I get asked to tell them what my last transaction was, or my mother's maiden name and DOB

Yeah, I feel like listing out the "raspberry pi, brass and wood" created the expectation that those were the crucial elements. Really the crucial element is a pre-made geiger counter and what they built is a beautiful enclosure an

Firstly, I don't know of any situation where that's true. If your manager is insisting on something impossible or immoral/unethical, you escalate. Escalating doesn't have to be within the organisation. It can be going pu

I just couldn't disagree more with the idea of building a basic knowledge and understanding of management from the military. There are some generalisable lessons to be learned from military management/leadership situations, and un

Anything from the Harvard Negotiation Project [1]. Their books set the standard for universal, transferable, actionable, and evidence-based advise about how to optimise social situations for the benefit of everyone involved. They have onlin

Surely every person involved should simply be turning to the people above/before them in the chain of command and saying "this is impossible, we need to be more flexible now". And whoever is blocking that escalation is reason

There are obviously situations where one might have a discussion without the person being discussed being present. The point is that if the discussion might affect those people, they should be represented. That could be by the people having

I'm also a foreigner to the USA. Not sure why that us being used as the reference point but OK. It's really not hard - you actively seek out written or shared experiences, opinions and perspectives of the relevant people. By all m

I am pretty sure that the last of your interpretations is closest to the truth, and it is really clear exactly what the parent is saying: people who are directly affected by or involved in the issue under discussion should be involved in th

Thanks for the extra github links! Animation issue is on Firefox 71.0/Ubuntu 19.04.

Feedback fwiw: I thought this pitch was pretty cool and looked at the website/github. Website had an FBI warning that I had to refresh 3 times to read, which was eventually funny but could be much less weird! Github has one tiny projec

A lot of recruiters harvest HN for email addresses using commercial software and blanket send annoying and useless emails. A recruiter that decodes brainfuck to get to a gist to read your bio is by definition not clueless.

by Blahah 6y ago
In general, yeah, but in this case it was specified that it's a recruiter filter. So it's like responding to someone's post that says `myusername [atsign] mydomain [dot] com` with the syntactically easier to harvest version o

So really a whole load of different companies are tracking tons of people, and anyone can buy and aggregate the data, then query it for insights. It's good that they publicised it rather than capitalising on it.

In SA right now I believe everything is closed to a much greater extent than most other places. For example, restaurants are not allowed to even deliver food. Only ingredients for preparing meals at home can be delivered by grocery stores.

This is the basis for several sequencing-based test protocols in development. It's called barcoding, and the massively parallel sequencing of tens of thousands of barcoded pooled sequences is called bar-seq. See e.g. https:/&#x2F

by Blahah 7y ago
It's standard practise in lots of kinds of sequencing experiments to use a spike-in. Makes perfect sense to use it here - in fact all the other sequencing based SARS-CoV-2 tests I've seen also use spike-ins.

We have never successfully created a vaccine against a coronavirus before, so this is new territory. On the other hand, we have new tools like the RNA vaccine being produced by Moderna which doesn't work like a traditional vaccine and

by Blahah 7y ago
It essentially means we need a vaccine to create immunity at scale, and will need to have fairly strict measures in place until that can happen.

No need to apologise at all! You sound like a responsible parent - I commented mostly for other people reading. Your child is gonna do great because they have caring parents. I would truly love an opportunity to not work for 6 months and ha

by Blahah 7y ago
Honestly this is the last thing I'd be worrying about. A child can skip 6 months to a year of school and have almost no negative effects on their life outcomes. If they get sick and die, or their close family members do, they will defi

By "over 8" do you mean 9? Please do provide those sources.

Lots of reports of this, for example: http://www.chinaxiv.org/abs/202002.00078

This is also true - digestive and respiratory organs appear to accumulate the virus most. Also heart and liver, which explains the high co-morbidity for people with damage to those organs. See http://www.chinaxiv.org/abs&#x2

by Blahah 7y ago
The virus accumulates in digestive organs and sheds in fecal matter. Gastrointestinal (fecal-oral) infection route seems likely. See: - https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.14.20022939v... - https:&#x2
