Show HN: A work in progress large table virtualization componenthttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29009682Hello Humans and Huwomans of HNMain demo link-----------------https://i5ik.github.io/_____/infinite/Background-------------I'm creating this large table virtualization component. It's not easy.The challenge is motivated by creating a basic spreadsheet component, as part of running the 7GUIs 'UI benchmark' against my fledgling web component framework, and discovering I really liked the idea of having a reusable spreadsheet / grid data component.I went looking and saw some, but it looked like a good challenge and I wanted one with the following qualities (which I didn't see anywhere else):1. uses semantic HTML markup (so table, thead, tr, th, td, colgroup, col elements) not divs to build a table2. could handle JavaScript scripting of cells (rather than an Excel-like DSL)3. could drag resize columns and rows4. could handle very large data5. ideally, but not absolutely, uses web components, or vanilla JS instead of another framework6. provides effortless natural scrolling (not synthetic, aOct 27, 2021 4:54 AM

Ask HN: Help extract address lookup call from Spectrum's website?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28971734I noticed when I go to Spectrum's opt-out page (https://www.spectrum.com/policies/your-privacy-rights-opt-out) it fetches my exact address in the background (down to the apartment number) before I've filled anything in. In Chrome or Firefox you can just hit F12 and choose the "Network" tab before loading the site, scroll halfway down to click on the 'tnt.js?userProfile=' request, and look at the "Response" data to see your address.Inconveniently, it doesn't fill in the form to save customers' some unnecessary typing. I would like to turn this into a more general lookup service, making a few requests in a command-line python program instead of opening a browser, but I'm having trouble figuring out what sequence of requests, headers, and post data is needed to get it to work in isolation. Nothing malicious here, it would just help to know when remote employees have moved and forgotten to update HR.It seems it first does a basic GeoIP request to (https://www.spectrum.com/bin/spectrum/resiOct 23, 2021 8:02 PM

Is there a “quora.com” for rare cancers?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28955982Fellow hackers, I'm a long-time lurker, but this is a bit personal (thus the new account).Short version: Is there a website or world-wide pool of oncologists which I could send an ultrasound-screening image or blood data, so that in return my little family can know how long we'll have our mommy?Long version:My wife, 35 years old, mother of two, has a very rare "thing" developing quite fast on her liver. She very rarely drinks alcohol, like once every 5 years, has no history of substance abuse, and according to blood screens her liver-values are fine with no indication of the liver being affected at all.When our second child was born, 1,5 years ago, it was done via an emergency c-section, because of a sudden inner bleeding. Mother and child luckily survived. We found out the bleeding was caused by a "thing" bursting. The clinic's head oncologist, after having multiple round-table calls with other head oncologists from other clinics finally decided, that this was likely a malignant canceOct 22, 2021 11:35 AM

Russian actress returns to Earth after space station movie shoothttps://spaceflightnow.com/2021/10/17/russian-actress-returns-to-earth-after-space-station-movie-shoot/STORY WRITTEN FOR CBS NEWS & USED WITH PERMISSION A Russian actress and her director-cameraman, wrapping up a 12-day movie shoot aboard the International Space Station, returned to Earth Sunday and promptly filmed a few additional scenes that will be part of the film’s conclusion. With cameras rolling, actress Julia Peresild, playing the role of a surgeon sent to the station to treat a critically ill cosmonaut, was pulled from the Soyuz descent module and carried to a nearby recliner where she pretended to be just back from her make-believe mission. Soyuz commander Oleg Novitskiy, who was wrapping up a 191-day stay in space, played the patient during shooting aboard the space station and again on the ground after touchdown, patiently enduring multiple takes before filming was halted. All three crew members, looking fit and chatting easily with support crews, were then carried to a nearby medical tent for traditional post-landing checks before being flown to Karaganda to board a jet forOct 17, 2021 9:49 AM
