I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease four years ago. For over two years, I relied on Levodopa and several other medications, but unfortunately, the symptoms kept getting worse. The tremors became more noticeable, and my balance and mobility started to decline quickly. Last year, out of desperation and hope, I decided to try a herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic.
Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, I began to notice real changes. My movements became smoother, the tremors subsided, and I felt steadier on my feet. Incredibly, I also regained much of my energy and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience I feel more like myself again, better than I’ve felt in years.If you or a loved one is struggling with Parkinson’s disease, I truly recommend looking into their natural approach.

The current state is such that we can, with great authority, give an exact measure of each "years" length, with every one bieng unique.
You touch on but dont quite state that math is a usefull game, but miss that reality does not use math consistantly, and we force arbitrary units and measures onto what we are trying to understand, but are still clueless as to what the nature of reality is, and how it works.
Testable theorys are thin on the ground now,Newton and his peers, past,present,here, and there, would be and are, unsatisfied with the meager conclusions we have, sure we can sincronise, and our tools and toys are wonderfull, but the universe remains,theoretical.

unless you bump your toe on part of it.

Nice idea, sort of like the inverse of Product Hunt.

1) it seems aggressively walled off by login/singup, e.g. one must signup or login just to view the details of a problem.

2) there is a variation of this in the corporate world where “innovation” consultants try to pitch corporate clients on the idea of featuring business problems to a panel of startups. There are a few problems I’ve seen with this model but the most applicable is, people most passionate about a problem set aren’t always the decision makers to procure or fund the solution.

3) have you thought about how to make this a functioning market? It seems like you need to attract builder to work on these problems and subject matter experts to document the problems more deeply than the top level titles.

> Thank you for the reply, I really appreciate it.

Likewise.

> You created a company which .. ultimately undermines the government power and makes it weaker.

Undermining the power of governments and other powerful entities has benefits and drawbacks. Our thesis is that making mass surveillance and online censorship ineffective is a net good for humanity in the long term.

You are arguing that censorship is a net good in the much more specific context of disinformation campaigns on social media during war time. Yes, government censorship might be effective and proportional in that context. It could also backfire.

You are also arguing that the dynamics and algorithms of social media is the vector through which disinformation spreads. Wouldn't it then be more effective and proportional to target social media for regulation?

>> It sounds like you're arguing for censored populations to .. not circumvent censorship through technological means..
> Yes, in democratic countries..

What should people in undemocratic countries do?

> I believe that the exact same ads you have on the streets in the cities should be published by politicians or NGOs and not a business.
> .. I do think that political activism is still possible even when there is additional risk.

I agree. At the same time, freedom of expression and of the press is under attack on a global scale. Consider this article from Reporters Without Borders: https://rsf.org/en/world-press-freedom-index-2025-over-half-...

> On the other hand, I do know that vulnerable people (teens, minorities, sick, elderly) in my country get recruited by Russia en masses through messengers. I do know that Russia engages in psychological warfare through Telegram, Facebook and TikTok without governments able to do anything.

I agree that is a serious problem and I don't know how to solve it. I'm sorry.

> I do want for politicians to fight for my rights, but I don't want that from businesses to be honest.

Why not?

> I mean, activism is clearly a part of your business strategy.

From a cause-and-effect point of view it would be more correct to say that starting a business is a part of our activism strategy. My opinions on the proportionality of mass surveillance and government censorship were formed a decade before I started Mullvad. Running a business is hard work, and if I didn't believe in its mission I would move on to something easier.

> The more discussion you create around issues related to privacy and censorship the more users you'll have - that's why I call it performative. Mullvad's business depends on the performance of fighting for the rights at the same time as benefitting from the fight itself.

I see. I interpreted it as "for show" in the sense of not being genuine.

Sarcasm:

bad bad not good.
it's ok for poor people but the poor aren't capital if they produce capital (financial or cognitive or any other) without making someone else richer (in data or money) so your approach is essentially bad for the extended wall street portfolio and thus bad for the economy.

No sarcasm:

Always a good approach. Variation and customization of all kinds of tools are imperative.

The single html file approach is ok.

I did similar stuff, twice, and will transition to python, rust or zig because now freaking web hooks, sms and whatsapp notifications will be useful just because the amount and variety of tasks and active and passive participants is growing, which gave me a much better understanding of what the fuck is wrong with industries, btw (so much less than I thought). Must remember to version control, properly, though, as well as documenting and properly organizing the code, all of which is so damn 101.

Nowadays even YouTube comments are more anonymous than using a "deltachat" or "signal". On the first case there is zero verification on their claims, on the second case there is plenty of evidence of funding from the CIA.

At least commenting from an unknown account on any random youtube video won't land you immediately at a "Person of Interest" list and your comments will be ignored as a drop of water inside an ocean of comments.

Currently not really, at least not for the weekly status meetings.

Typically I'll have a folder with a bunch of numbered files in the order that I want to talk about them, since it's easier to just quickly share my screen and run through then when I want to let others know what I've done, for example along the lines of:

01-migrate-gulp-grunt-to-vite.png
02-vue-prebuild-script-check-unused-translations.png
03-java-add-compile-memory-limit-ide.png
04-server-update-python-for-ansible.png
...

If I need them for like a yearly performance review, then I'll probably do a pass where I group them into named folders and write a doc loosely following those topics, given that I might work on similar improvements and fixes across more than just 1 week. Pretty low friction daily and also when I need more structure.

So roughly your latitude is 40 degrees ?

Now if you disclose your local time offset from GMT, say, Palantir can send a drone carrying roses.

Of course this is meant as a joke, but wanted to emphasize how easy it is for location information to leak. And if one really doesn't care about collateral deaths how easy it is to exploit location data.

I can vouch for the tutorial series from Eli Fieldsteel[0] for getting into SuperCollider and audio synthesis in general. If you were ever curious on how to bridge the gap between signal processing and music theory through mathematical operations, I think this is one of the best series out there.

I think the beauty of this quote is working more than its content.

Most people, even when they do not sit down and think about it, follow one of the two career paths:

- Some people will actively pursue the next logical progression (senior, lead/manager, head/vp, exec).

- Some will happily stay in their position unless the next one is offered to them.

Being deliberate will always work better compared to being random, but it is not like all people who succeed in their careers deliberately planned to get where they are.

I would even guess that for the vast majority of successful careers, competency and luck played a much bigger role than being deliberate about it.

Without contradicting "in general", my anecdotal experience is that even well-oiled teams with good internal communication and team spirit can have bad technologies that end a business.

You may well be correct about the general case: I've not witnessed cat-herding, the closest was managment constantly chasing new shinies and one time forgetting to tell the devs about the latest change.

It wasn't clear to the people (at least to me) that moving away from nuclear energy was a bad idea, but nowadays I think it should be. And to be fair, back then Germany should have listened to experts because they already knew.

Now betting on fusion sounds like Germany doesn't want to acknowledge that it was a mistake. "We were right, we're just moving to fusion right away". Except that fusion is nowhere ready. And nuclear fission is not as big a problem as people thought.

> It will be like the rest of computing, some things will move to the edge and others stay on the cloud.

It will become like cloud computing - some people will have a cloud bill of $10k/m to host their apps, other people would run their app on a $15/m VPS.

Yes, the cost discrepancy will be as big as the current one we see in cloud services.

I am far from being an expert on this topic. I took this course (many years ago?) https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn and held this idea since.

That's not what I meant by "struggle" and you do not use an LLM for that anyway.

Germans don't shift. The execute stages of precisely calculated, long-term plans which are need-to-know for multi-functional, cross-sector reasons across existing, predicted and emerging industries and cultural and sub-cultural developments.

It took me a while to understand why it looked like it was the "left" and the green parties that fucked up a golden energy future, but now I understand. With the "more right" parties and style of governance, things will get better, which would not have happened if the former wasn't also true.

Well played.

This is concerning in the comments:

> I suspect most can guess where this mess will end up, and it’s not good.

What I read from this is going to sound conspiratorial, but I think it’s a valid “read between the lines” of an insider. I think they’re saying that they’re alarmed that Silicon Valley is supporting the current U.S. administration assuming he’s doing what’s best for their welfare, while it’s clear based on the activities of Iran and others that are practicing working without internet that they are planning on losing internet, which could either be because Iran, Russia, China, or the U.S. itself may plan to sever or disable internet connections (while unsure what would be isolated or disabled) as an act of war or extreme and dangerously naive nationalism.

That's basically diffusion versus drift.

But I think it is the wrong view, as generally people do move into the direction they want to go. Take a person doing plumbing but wanting to be in art. The problem is not the direction, the problem is taking the first step.

In general, many people dislike changing jobs, so they don't take steps. The steps are the problem, not the direction.

You shouldn't really serve aggressive scrapers any kind of error or otherwise unusual response, because they'll just take that as a signal to try again with a different IP address or user agent, or a residential proxy, or a headless browser, or whatever else. There's no obligation to be polite to rude guests, give them a 200 OK containing the output of a Markov chain trained on the Bee Movie script instead.

Arguing that "disinformation is not a real problem, there's only ideas" is reductionism, like arguing that there's no such a thing as a forest, only trees. And a "battle of ideas" can definitely favor the side with more money - if that weren't the case, then why do politicians spend millions trying to outspend their opponents?

There are most certainly groups of people spreading objectively false statements, not as "disagreement" (although that exists too) but because they expect to profit from it. Is it easy to detect? No. Does that mean we should give up? I'd also say no.
by srean | 2025-12-22 12:01:43+00:00
It's the other way around.

It takes my breath away how consistent the mean length of a day is and how accurately we can measure it. So accurately that if it deviates by mere tens of milliseconds, and it does, we can notice it.

It boggles my mind that a hunk of rock made up of differing densities, with so much of salty water sloshing around, Moon exerting her brakes, bombardments by extraterrestrial matter, Earth still remains so consistent. Of course, this is not surprising if one does the math.

Yes math and physics are different. It's the the fact that math can model the physics so accurately at all that it's breathtaking.

My 2c as someone who has ended up in a non-traditional career track, mostly doing my own thing and getting paid for it.

While you definitely need a higher than average tolerance for uncertainty, the big thing is just not seeing all the options. Many choices are occluded by the options presented to you by employers, the educational system, etc. The spectrum of careers, which is a continuous higher-dimensional blob of "things you can do to make money", is systematized in such a way that while there are paths to unusual career outcomes, most of those paths can not be expressed.

You may on some level want to reach some career or lifestyle goal, but often the path to that destination isn't obvious, and it's definitely never presented to you as an option among the things you can choose, and more than likely you'll have few if any role models or people to ask for guidance if you find yourself on that track.

I do something similar for development of me as a human being. I ask myself how can I improve, what kind of person do I want to be, how can I help make the world a better place.

My "career" is just a means to an end to put food on the table. Also being in my 30s I think I have mostly maxed it out anyway. Sure I might increase my wage a little bit but all in all as for being an IC it is a good as it gets. Sure there is always room for improvement but I am already constantly the person with the most technical skills in the room so it would not grant me any benefit.

I don't think your "career" needs to be a major focus in your life once you are set up at least. Especially if you don't do any meaningful work that actually helps people like being a doctor or teacher or something.

In the end my work just makes someone else richer, it doesn't have any meaning. It does not make the world a better place. Probably a worse place sometimes. I just do it to not starve.

I was quite surprised to find the software backing this isn't open source: https://www.lend-engine.com/

I had expected it to be an open source with paid hosting/support model. But at 25 USD/month for 500 items and 50 USD for over 2000 items, it's pricier than I had expected!

But this Library of Things seems fantastically cheaper than, say https://www.libraryofthings.co.uk/, which will rent you a hedge trimmer for £13 a day rather than £4 per week!
by exceptione | 2025-12-22 12:04:10+00:00
In a Hindley-Milner (or deriative) type system, types doesn't have to be explicit, making the number of arguments ambiguous here:

fn fib(n i32) i32 {}

But even if they need to be written explicitly, type applications like `List a` would require syntax to disambiguate them.

Personally, I would like a language that pushes the programmer to write the types as part of a doc comment.

Also think about returning lambda's. Should it look like this?

fn foo(n i32) (i32 i32) {}

Of course the IDE could help by showing the typographic arrows and other delineations, but as plaintext this is completely unreadable.

> And semicolons are an ancient relic that has been passed on to new languages for 80 fucking years without any good reason.

You still have to think about stuff like currying. You either delimit the line, or you use significant white space.
Show HN: RustX – Python Ease, Rust Speed
by ZOROX | 2025-12-22 12:05:04+00:00
If you've ever felt trapped between the simplicity of Python and the terrifying borrow-checker of Rust, you need to see what GrandpaEJ is building. RustX is a "best of both worlds" scripting language that offers a clean, minimal syntax but hides a high-performance Rust engine under the hood.

Unlike other scripts that hit a performance ceiling, RustX features a built-in JIT compiler that can transpile your code directly into a native Rust binary. Imagine importing Crates.io libraries into a script as easily as a pip install, then hitting build to get raw, bare-metal speed. It’s early days, but for anyone looking to build high-performance tools without the boilerplate, this is the project to watch.

The "killer feature"? It can transpile your scripts directly into native, optimized Rust binaries. You get the simplicity of a script, the power of Crates.io, and the raw speed of bare metal—all in one tool.

This just reads like a bucketlist of product recommendations.

I found the following to be most amusing, as the author explains the idea of “Iterations” without mentioning them by name:

> We work in 6-week cycles. Once a cycle is over, we take one or two weeks off of scheduled projects so everyone can roam independently, fix stuff up, pick up some pet projects we’ve wanted to do, and generally wind down prior to starting the next six week cycle.

> Note: These are not sprints. I despise the word sprints. Sprints and work don’t go together. This isn’t about running all out as fast as you can, it’s about working calmly, at a nice pace, and making smart calls along the way. No brute force here, no catching our collective breath at the end.

I use Opus 4.5 and GPT 5.2-Codex through VS Code all day long, and the closest I've come is Devstral-Small-2-24B-Instruct-2512 inferring on a DGX Spark hosting with vLLM as an "Open AI Compatible" API endpoint I use to power the Cline VS Code extension.

It works, but it's slow. Much more like set it up and come back in an hour and it's done. I am incredibly impressed by it. There are quantized GGUFs and MLXs of the 123B, which can fit on my M3 36GB Macbook that I haven't tried yet.

But overall, it feels about about 50% too slow, which blows my mind because we are probably 9 months away from a local model that is fast and good enough for my script kiddie work.

Again, the maintainer eventually came around.

Our confusion might be due to the fact that an erroneous PR (by seemingly an AI-wielding student...) was somehow recently accepted that completely reverted the changes we collectively worked on, which effectively made Fetch Metadata a full solution. So, it is back to showing as defense in depth. I've raised an issue about it, which wouldn't have happened if I didn't see your article!

Here's the previous language:

> If your software targets only modern browsers, you may rely on [Fetch Metadata headers](#fetch-metadata-headers) together with the fallback options described below to block cross-site state-changing requests

We then detailed some fallbacks (eg Origin header). Full text can be viewed in the original PR

https://github.com/OWASP/CheatSheetSeries/pull/1875

or

https://github.com/OWASP/CheatSheetSeries/blob/7fc3e6b8fde65...

If after reading that you still think that Fetch Metadata is not a viable full solution, I'd be curious to know why - the goal of that PR (and the preceding discussion that I instigated) was to upgrade it from Defense in Depth to Full (even if slightly less full than tokens, due to the possible need for some fallbacks).

Nah. We need move back to the real world being the destination instead of the screen.
