| [N] Folding@Home: How Your PC Can Help in the Fight Against COVID-19 Posted: 19 Mar 2020 10:41 AM PDT Restaurants, bars and public spaces have been shut down and more and more people are working from home to slow the spread of the coronavirus. While volunteers are helping communities get through the crisis, some may be wondering how else they might contribute to efforts to contain the virus. The Folding@Home project has a novel suggestion: Donate your household's unused computing power. Folding@Home was developed by the Pande Laboratory at Stanford University in 2000 as a distributed computing project for simulating protein dynamics, including the process of protein folding and the movements of protein implicated in a variety of diseases. The idea was to have a network of volunteers run protein dynamics simulations on their personal computers to provide insights that might help researchers develop new therapeutics.

| ELI5: How does VPN compare to HTTPs? Posted: 19 Mar 2020 10:35 AM PDT I understand a vpn, virtual private network is a way of securely connecting a computer to a distant network. The traffic from that computer to the distant network is all encrypted. A usecase is remotely working from work and needing to connect to your company's resources. How does the level of protection/encryption a vpn provides compare to HTTPs? Is one more secure than the other? I know HTTPs was implemented to provide that same level of protection for connecting to different websites(banking websites, etc) [link] [comments]  |
| jq - a tool for manipulating structured data in JSON format Posted: 19 Mar 2020 08:49 AM PDT Jq is a very versatile tool for working with structured information in json format, the command syntax of jq is also structured by means of a processing pipeline, similar to that of a unix shell, again each processing step acts as a filter/modifier of the input received from the preceding stage. Jq is available on /for linux, Mac and Windows. Again on might look at each of these stages as functions in a functional program. This tutorial tries to explain jq in terms of example pipelines; each example comes with links that show you the intermediate results for each stage of the processing pipeline; this makes it easier to understand each of the building blocks involved. You can click either on any one of the commands to show the command and how it transforms the input json structure into the output json, each pipe symbol is also a link that will show you the information that flows through it.
