timsayshey | 4 years ago | on: Ivermectin for Prevention and Treatment of Covid-19 Infection: A Meta-Analysis

"Conclusions: Moderate-certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin. Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally."

timsayshey | 4 years ago | on: Show HN: We built an end-to-end encrypted alternative to Google Photos

One of the biggest ways I use iCloud Photos is as a screensaver on my Apple TV. As I am considering alternatives to Apple products due to privacy concerns, I am looking for something that has screensaver integrations with Android TV and/or Apple TV. It seems all open source Google Photos alternatives don't have a screensaver app for any TV platform.

I think all censorship should be deplored. My position is that bits are not a bug. That we should create communications technologies that allow people to send whatever they like to each other. And when people put their thumbs on the scale and try to say what can and can't be sent, we should fight back - both politically through protest and technologically through software. - Aaron Swartz

I've been following Hacker News for over a decade and my sense of the community is that it has always been overwhelmingly pro free speech at any cost (even in the cases where it would protect something outright illegal). Now I'm hearing from many in the same community that free speech has been "weaponized" and must be controlled for the greater good. What happened? Seriously.

This is an amazing project! Probably one of the most useful ways to actually find quality job listings. If only Craigslist would offer site-wide search natively.

Btw, you should open-source this on GitHub. You should also include a crypto/paypal donation option.

There is probably a good use case here for developers maintaining a CF project that need to pick up the language quickly. This looks like a great course. Also, I've never heard of AdobeKnowHow, looks like an interesting platform.

I really wish AWS would stop enabling master API keys by default. As soon as you create an AWS account you are given API keys which basically have SUDO permissions to your entire account. That is super dangerous and is probably the same key set that these hackers got ahold of. AWS needs to disable these full access API keys by default and instead should encourage users to generate keys for specific access to limit what they can do.

timsayshey | 8 years ago | on: Numpy: Plan for dropping Python 2.7 support

If this is the case then wouldn't re-naming it Python 4 shake the negative view of it? Guess it's too late now for Python but I've seen it done in other open source projects and it worked pretty well.

>> When an XHR response comes back as HTML, there is no "Preview" tab like in Chrome.

> This is consolidated in the Response tab. You can view it as raw response, or JSON (with filtering options).

Yeah, I can see the raw HTML or JSON response. But Chrome actually allows you to see the rendered HTML response in the "Preview" tab. Are you saying there is a way to see the rendered HTML from the XHR response? I'm not seeing it. To see the rendered HTML, I have to copy it, create an html file, paste the HTML, then open it in a browser. That's a lot of extra steps when debugging something.

Their devtools have come a long way. And are almost caught up with Chrome. I've only noticed the following things missing: When an XHR response comes back as HTML, there is no "Preview" tab like in Chrome. Also, the responsive testing tool doesn't have the device frames (ie, iPhone, iPad, etc) and it also doesn't have the little touch circle cursor that let's you drag and swipe while testing.

timsayshey | 8 years ago | on: CFWheels 2.0 – ColdFusion Markup Language framework inspired by Rails

It's been a long road to 2.0 with lots detours but we've finally made it! Thanks to an awesome dedicated team and community :)

Lol, and yes, asking if Coldfusion is still a thing is like asking if Java is still a thing. It's a dynamic scripting language on the JVM that gets stuff done. It's not going anywhere. If you had a bad perception of CF many years ago, do yourself a favor and check out Lucee before making any comments, lest you misrepresent the language and speak out of ignorance ;) -- Remember bad code happens in every language
