It seems to have gained a lot more traction in the post-post-modern age, where all reality is subjective, opinions are facts, and asserting that something is objectively false is an attack on human rights.
There is far more racism in Seattle than southern cities and Midwestern cities that I've lived in. I perhaps have a different perspective on it since I am a POC, but that is certainly my feeling on it all.
Did anyone else find the tone of this article just a touch self-congratulatory?

When I want to hear about mental disease, I want to hear about it from the actual sufferer.

Otherwise, even someone willing to try to do the work is somehow a hero because the ill person is a burden. Focusing on the supporter takes away from how mental health is harder for the sick person, not the person who supported them (until it wasn't for me!).

If I heard people talk about a partner with cancer or MS this way, I don't think this would be a nice article anymore.

Same thing in Cupertino. There’s even a scandalous blog that someone updates to regularly attack various local politicians and school board members.
That works halfway for UPDATE statements as well. At the very least you can see which rows you’ll be updating.

Another tip is to write the WHERE clause and SET clause prior to filling in which table is being updated. That way you can’t accidentally run something prematurely.

I have 2 daughters and one is just all about her phone (She is older and living on her own) my 11 year old would love this but it was because of code.org and their minecraft section.

I tried Arduino and Scratch but that it was scratch with minecraft made all the difference. Each kid has their own selves and likes. Sometimes they are similar and others they are opposites and we as parents flounder and stay up late wondering if we are doing the right things for our kids all the time. I like this product but I couldn't shell out $100 on Friendship bracelets.

Even if this was true for cake mix, it seems a bit of a leap to apply it to IKEA furniture. The simplest explanation that flat packing allowed them to reduce costs seems sufficient.

This is, unfortunately, remarkably common. It only received a lot of attention here because it pretended to be a well-known extension: The Web Store is full of extensions which hijack your start page and search provider and have full access to all of your web content. They're often installed via pages through malicious ads which state that you must accept Chrome's install extension request to continue web browsing and use a variety of JavaScript-based tricks to keep you on the page until you do. (The other thing that occasionally gets mentioned: Extensions get bought out so that adware and spyware is automatically pushed down to Chrome users silently.)

Many times, I've reported malicious extensions I've found on user's PCs, and months later they are still alive and well on the Web Store. Google has not taken significant steps to vet browser extensions despite the massive amount of access to your personal data they have, particularly if they use permissions like accessing the content of pages you're on.

Microsoft appears to only permit Edge extensions on a case-by-case, human-vetted basis. I strongly recommend instructing lay users to use Edge over Chrome, and those who insist on Chrome should have --no-extensions added to their shortcuts to ensure Google's extension interface is wholly disabled. (At the office, I use a group policy to block all extensions on all Chrome installs network-wide. Google provides surprisingly decent tools to do this.)

Unfortunately, while Chrome regularly brags about their security measures, it does very little when they permit (and distribute) malicious extensions in their store with permissions to do whatever they want with user data. Their Pwn2Own records, their bug bounties, it's all irrelevant while they don't consider this a serious issue. It is akin to bragging about how good your deadbolt is while leaving the door wide open.
They also gambled from a position where, had they failed, they'd have the support of their family and another chance at college. Making such gambles affordable for more people (so you don't have to make the safe choice -- law school or bigco or whatever) is good.
There are other visual solutions: show the app switcher, or go to the home screen and return when the modal is dismissed. I agree apps can fake some things, but it's not an unsolvable problem.

eisedo: Auto-prioritise your to-do list
www.eisedo.com is a new task manager app inspired by the Eisenhower Matrix.
What makes it unique is that it automatically prioritises your tasks for you, helping you to manage your time in the most productive way.

Now, you no longer have to worry about which tasks to tackle first - eisedo will work it out for you. Not only are your tasks automatically prioritised, you're also able to identify and eliminate time-wasting activities to ensure you dedicate your time to tasks that help you to achieve your goals.
Please don't ride E-Bikes in a Public Land (BLM, USFS, etc.) Mountain Bike Area.

My Mountain Bike club has worked for years to get access to these areas. Other land users (hikers and equestrian riders) are not very keen for MtB use. The worry is that E-Bikes will be used as a excuse (Motorized vehicle) to kick out all MtB use in the areas.

I am totally ok with road use and on private property though.

Software eats finance because it’s making traditional finance jobs obsolete.

ML does not eat software in the same sense, because ML and software engineers generally do non-overlapping work. ML involves analysis, software involves synthesis.

There may be a day when ML automates software development, but it’s nowhere close yet.

At most, ML is merely dominating current hype among software-adjacent technologies (along with block chain).

The problem is harassment.

This article is talking about men avoiding being alone with women, to avoid the suspicion of third parties. Not really related to harassment.

It would make sense if the concern was false accusations. They don't come out and say that. Maybe because that would be transparently sexist. Any colleague can accuse you of anything that happens in private. Furthermore, in these high profile cases, it's not a matter of one disturbed woman pointing the finger and ruining an innocent man's life. It's multiple accusers coming forward, showing a pattern of behavior over decades, at great risk to their careers. Are we really going to argue that the pendulum has swung too far?

Side note: the article is curiously anachronistic, talking about "the opposite sex", as if everyone were straight. Also, when you think about it, the root problem is still sexism, this time a stereotype about men (the idea that a man can't have a professional relationship with a woman).
Personally, whenever I long for a second monitor, I'll use my iPad and hook it up via duet, which is usually only for web-dev where I need the browser to be a minimum size, with live reload. Else I heavily use spaces (macOS Mission Control thing), iTerm with quake/visor-style terminal on hotkey, and usually have my code wrap around 80 chars, which gives quite a bit of screen real estate leftover on a retina mac.

I greatly prefer mobility over a monitor, and back when I used to have extra monitors it didn't provide that much more of a benefit. It would still be as much of a context switch the distance my eyes would travel to that other space on the monitor, as pressing ctrl + 2 into my second space.
I'm an OP3T owner and I dislike my phone. This may just be the straw that breaks the camels back for me. It would be fine if they asked me explicitly whether I am happy for them to collect these statistics and to offer a way to disable this, but as it is right now this is just unacceptable.

The more time I spend with this phone the more I believe that Apple aligns with my interests more (plus their hardware is simply better). Sure, I'll spend a bit more money but at least I won't have Google + OnePlus collecting stats on what apps I use.
Many moons ago, support for TCP wrappers was removed from systemd -- and, a bit later, OpenSSH, IIRC.

connection filtering should be done in network level or completely in application scope if it makes sense.

So it was done at the application scope, with a common config file format, and then it was deprecated because it should be done at the application scope? I can barely make sense of this logic they are applying.

The only place it wasn't done at the application scope (baring an invocation wrapper that handled it for applications that didn't directly support tcpwrappers on its own listeners) was in systemd, because systemd isn't the end application, so if the logic is that it should be in the application scope, systemd is the only place it should have been removed from.
Yep, and they own & work multiple franchise locations. The margins are insanely thin that you'd be lucky to support yourself and a GM at every location.
I've thought of getting a dental exam chair and using it for something like that, mounting the monitor in place of the light.

Dental exam chairs can be quite comfortable. The ones my dentist uses are comfortable enough I've almost fallen asleep during cleanings.
It's gray area legally. If you have income in multiple countries you should pay income tax in each country (how much you earned while working there) but if you are just traveling in a van and don't have any residence and are on the move all the time, not sure how you can do that without it getting too messy. Probably easiest to just declare all income in home base country.

Whatever you guys need to feel better about yourselves.

This article is poorly written, and with no control group of normal bike-riders I don't think the study can say much one way or the other about how electric bikes compare to normal bikes.

For Windows work, I made sure to have one regular user and one admin user. And set the desktop background of the admin user to red. An additional benefit is that the garish background is uncomfortable to work with, and so discourages being logged in as admin all the time...

This is wrong for the US, but I don't know the Spanish government structure enough to weigh in there.

The US Government is split into three branches, like you mentioned (Legislative, Executive, Judicial). Those three branches are the government. You are erroneously equating government to mean exclusively the executive branch of the government though.

Most property crime is never solved because the police are stretched thin and they prioritize violent crime. San Jose is a very polarized city with wealthy, safe areas and some extremely sketchy unsafe areas where people get robbed at gunpoint at 2pm. The police have to focus on the crappy areas. One solution would be to split the city up so the residents are better served for their local needs.
I'm always very skeptical with studies like this.

> [R]esearchers recruited a pool of twenty sedentary commuters... These commuters were then asked to shift their transport to work to the e-Bike fleet

> After a month, volunteers revisited the lab and had the very same tests conducted again. Notable improvements to the 20 subjects’ cardiovascular health were evident, with improved aerobic capacity and blood sugar control noted in all cases.

Twenty subjects and a month of testing? They don't mention how notable the improvements are other than "improved". They don't necessarily take into account that them being studied for health benefits might have made them more active overall not just in commuting. There are so many other reasons that could have changed them into having more healthy results. With all those possibilities, I cannot see how twenty participants and one month of changes can be considered confirmed.
Can someone explain why this is coming up now? From what I see, this looks like an old project (2014). I'd love to understand if there is something fresh to be aware of.

The only reason the US reproduction rate isn’t lower is due to massive immigration. If you take out the cohort of people who’ve moved here in the past generation, the rate looks much more like that of European nations.
The fact is, men created most of history. Look around you: virtually everything tangible was conceived, planned and constructed by men. Perhaps this is changing, but to attempt to rewrite history to give women equal participation when this simply is not borne out by the facts is bonkers revisionism, such as the nonsense that black people were part of the typical family in Roman Britain (they were very much the exception to the rule). No doubt I'll be flagged etc. for telling the truth, so I'll just leave you with what Taleb had to say on that story:

'Deeper problem in the UK: the PolCorrect police terrorizes academics wusses & few dare speak up ag. the BS.
UK Academics are too insecure.'
It's a good thing we don't reject scientific theories simply off them being too convenient then.

Not that it makes evo psych valid, but I've yet to see good papers from either side, and I doubt there ever will be, since mating strategies will always remain a highly contested topic, regardless of what science says.

If you've never actually worked in a restaurant, do everyone a favor and don't try to open one. It's vanity a play, that's all.

Owning a restaurant for some reason has this prestige attached to it. I think it's the media that has consistently portrayed kitchen life using an Instagram lens, leaving out the day-to-day. The author is correct, it's horrible, but some people actually thrive in that environment. Those that get that lightbulb moment and think, "whoa, I should open a restaurant," should stop.

Eating at a dining location run by amateurs is like getting your haircut at the vocational high school.

There are so many finer points that you have to collect with experience before trying it yourself, the odds of succeeding for DIY restaurant owners is hilariously low. It should say something that even world-renowned chefs struggle to keep their doors open.

I love the restaurant business, it's difficult and I admire people that can do it well—it's nearly impossible.

>"You have to love stress to work in a kitchen. Have you ever stared down a line of Friday night dinner tickets after your sous just walked out of the shift crying because her mom died? No? Then you don't know stress."

Case in point. Yes, that's stressful. You want to know what's more stressful? Working Friday and Saturday nights every weekend for 5 years straight, taking ticket after ticket, order after order. When you get good at being a restaurant owner, it's a whole different kind of stress, exhilarating I'm sure, but a stress that requires an incessant amount of detail and attention. The author didn't make it that far.
If the app still wanted to support puzzles that had notes scribbled in them then it would need some kind of OCR to tell the difference between a "starter" cell with known-good data and "puzzle" cells it needs to solve.

But treating the symbols in the starter cells as arbitrary is ingenious, imo!
Well, I think the OP should give you the idea that if your goal is (for example) to reduce violent crime rates overall, then the answer might be more complicated than that...

HN Buddies: Top list of users who reply to each other the most
My Indian friends are the most racist people I know. It’s all they talk and think about. That was one of the most surprising things to me coming from the South (where I did occasionally come across racists but they were usually excluded socially because of their views, unlike PoC Bay Area residents, who get a blank check to be racist).
It would be nice if they could have had other groups in their study like a control group that didn't participate and another group that rode conventional bicycles and compare the results.
Not quite so disastrous, but still pretty dumb.

I was logged in over VPN to a client machine. I suspected the problem I was fixing was something to do with the network misbehaving. It was a Windows machine.

I thought "I know: I'll disable and reenable the network device!".

A few moments later: "Oh. Bugger.".

Shortly followed by an embarrassing call to the client's IT department to ask them to reenable the network device on that machine...

That's a very charitable explanation that I find hard to accept. I think it's more that MS .Net development is organized in way that it's easy to do new stuff but hard to maintain an effort long time. In other areas they are able to make progress without breaking everything all the time. C# has stayed backwards compatible while still moving forward quickly. SQL server doesn't release a new version every 2 years that breaks old stuff.

Somehow they seem to lack leadership.
When searching here in the US with query “vesa monitor wall mount” I find a bunch of ones which would be secure and work well (multiple of which I own). Maybe that’s not the case where you live (assuming you’re either European or Aussie based on the phrase “caravan-life”, but guess that’s not an accurate assumption possibly).

> Additionally, these baryons have 10x the density of what we observe (so this could potentially be evidence for the first stable baryonic matter composed of second generation quarks, or more likely the binding energies are different from our standard uud/udd nucleon quarks)

No, these results are not evidence for exotic matter. They measured the over-density of the filaments relative to the average background density of the universe.

Before landing my first job out of college I had to refuse quite a few offers because I would effectively have to pay to work on them. And that was in a growing economy in a much more young-accepting climate, besides, rent was cheaper by the time.
