Athletes and those who don't get enough sun, like most in the northern parts of the United States with the abrupt switch to being indoors far more than usual in the last 100 years?

It's not that rare. If you mean the bullshit industry, sure, but this attitude of "all vitamins are obtained through food" is simply not true and been proven repeatedly false - especially for athletes.
So, a “sh” sound, right?
How much milk does coffee have to make a meaningful impact. What about sugar in coffee, we Indians love sugar.

What about the fact that most Indians are lactose intolerant?

You also need sun (Vitamin D), which is not always an option for prisoners kept inside for 24 hours per day.
I didn't know Aaron, I don't remember being that aware of him while he was alive, but I did see the SOPA campaign of course, even in the UK. One day I watched the 'Internets own boy' documentary and was profoundly moved. All of a sudden open source, access to information, freedom from surveillance etc really started to matter to me. In fact that is how I found HN!

When the snoopers charter came in to the UK it was Aarons story (and what I read afterwards) that made me recognise the danger in such legislation. I wrote to my MP for the first time.

Aaron in lots of ways changed my life in that way. Ben I really appreciate your post.
Deal with it cunt. Just don't complain then and enjoy your debt ridden life.

I switched over to fastmail last year and never looked back. I get no spam, it seems as secure as email can be in terms of the business model being aligned with my needs.

Good idea for the separate browsers too, I never considered that. I would just throw a vpn you trust (or roll your own) in that list, along with uBlock Origin and uMatrix.
Yea but can you export a httpie command from the browser?

What the hell? Buy some meat, vegetables. Chop them. Chuck in some soy sauce, garlic and ginger.

Don't like East Asian? Grab that red curry paste that lasts for weeks in the fridge and a can of coconut milk... Buy some meat and vegetables and chuck it in a saucepan. Boil some rice.

Don't like Thai? Buy some meat and vegetables. Chuck them in a saucepan with garlic and some herbs. Boil some pasta.

Don't like Mediterranean? Buy some meat and vegetables. Chuck them in a saucepan with incredible amounts of paprika and some potatoes.

Don't like Hungarian? OK. I'm being slightly flippant but it's really not hard. You get a few basic combinations and you vary them. A few flavourings, sauces or spices and the same basic principles will get you a good meal in 30-45 minutes whatever your preferences are.

I sometimes buy premade sauces (which are usually mediocre but give you a good base) and then add some fresh garlic, chilli etc to make it taste less shop-bought. Just make sure you always have a few staples in (rice, pasta, noodles, garlic, chilli, onion, ginger, soy, canned tomatoes - that kind of thing) and grab some meat and veg in your local shop. You can always knock something together.

This isn't something unique to India. I seem to remember reading an article somewhere that rural black communities in Alabama face similar issues. Granted, that seems to be more of an exception.

But what I took away from it is that communities that participate in the economic system do well for themselves and generate prosperity for themselves whereas those that don't (including most rural Indian villages) will continue to suffer from these issues.

At a military communications center I once worked at we had the EPO button positioned near the door so you knew where it was, and you could hit it on the way out as you evacuated. One day someone had a toolbag in their hand as they were leaving and it swung and hit that big red button ... and it did what it was supposed to do - cutting all the power to the room. Which ended up being a big hassle - they had to reload crypto keys and so on.

That very afternoon a plastic guard was installed over the button so you had to lift it first.

I agree with your basic point - a generic syscall batching mechanism would be a good thing - but it's worth noting that GPU workloads are usually much better suited for ginormous "fire and forget" command/command+data sequences. syscalls tend to be more interactive/round-trip-dependent, where syscall N+1 is at least partially determined by a userspace process doing something fairly complicated with the result of syscall N. This is a natural enemy of massive batching.

I run on avg 1 mile/day, and I play capoeira on avg 1-2 times/week.

I've started both 2 years ago (it was when Mark Zuckerberg was running 1mi/day), and successfully maintained both for the past 2 years.

I really like especially the running part, because I typically can't commit to anything on a daily basis, and even weekly when I travel I typically screw up my plans. With this arrangement, I know I that have to run 365mi in a year, and every month I do a check and correct my trajectory, including planning for a light period if I know I'm particularly busy with other things.
I thought the market would have made more progress by now.

I believe the reason is that there are a lot of patents/IP around the core technology, and it's owned by very few companies who essentially have a monopoly on the market. This also explains the secrecy surrounding the "low-level" details. As this article shows, you can definitely get more gray levels by driving the display directly.

> Asoh mistakenly landed the plane near Coyote Point in the shallow waters of San Francisco Bay, two and a half miles short of the runway.

I was shocked at the 2.5mi deviation until I realized that this is about 51 seconds of flight at his airspeed of 177mi/hr.

Still, that's a pretty astonishing distance from the runway.

I think one problem is people tend to be locally self-managed: they'll do work assigned just to them, or a close-knit team, but as soon as something is blocked by say the dba team, they'll put very little effort into ensuring the work progresses (unless they have a personal interest in seeing that task through). Or they'll prioritize incorrectly: towards their skill/interests, or what their friends are waiting on (as opposed to the whole team/company), or even a simple misunderstanding of importance.

And of course you have things like deadlocks that have to be resolved, ie dba waiting on programmer, and programmer waiting on artist, and artist waiting on dba.

So the manager serves a distinct, and presumably necessary role. And by necessity, he must be invasive: if there was sufficient communication, the deadlock would resolve itself. But if the manager is necessary, there is not sufficient communication: that is, someone is not announcing important information by their own will (perhaps because they aren't aware its worth announcing). It has to be wrung out.

And if you're trying to stop such problems before they occur, then you'll end up asking seemingly redundant or even arbitrary questions. (Because you can't know the correct questions to ask!)

You posted specific and false information. You have not amended those posts.

You then accused me of “trotting out an excuse.” I noted the incivility of that statement and, as you repeated false and specific facts, highlighted your lie.

Let me go one layer deeper. You are upset a civil notification system malfunctioned, by saying false things. That is reasonable. But in reacting to that, you said false things.

These are unfortunate mistakes. Learning should result.
>I see no proof of this claim.

Societal claims are not math to draw complete proofs, and human culture is not molecules and physical particles to do experiments on. Nor are such things absolute like laws of nature. Still, one can trace historical developments, watch the timeline and lineage of ideas, track influences and draw some conclusions. And this is a fairly common conclusion of people who have studied such things, not to mention, certain traits are common across certain cultures (protestant cultures vs catholic cultures or muslim cultures, or buddhist cultures, and so on).

>Some would call me a Protestant Christian. Jesus teaches rehabilitation, mercy, and love even for enemies.

What Christ taught originally is not really relevant here though, how people in this or that era or this or that culture interpreted those teachings matters.

Marx also calls for peace, equality, rule of the common workers and such, but in the real play of events it didn't went down like this. History is full of similar changes of ideas in action. References to Jesus and the Gospels aside, WASP protestants have always been (in the majority -- there are of course exceptions) more Old Testament in their ways than New Testament.

I can't speak to plumbing and electrical work, those aren't my industries but

Or a mid level IT person. They don’t exist.

My knee jerk reaction is to say "I absolutely refuse to believe this is true", but I will concede that the problem (here, I am defining problem not as a shortage of qualified talent, but a shortage of qualified talent that actually progresses to getting hired) exists because of symptoms you correctly highlighted "pipelines" and "competent managers". I will admit-however-to being biased as someone who's worked in IT for decades and later became a technical recruiter with an agency who wanted someone on staff that could have conversations with tech professionals on a meaningful, personal level.

Unrealistic or otherwise unsustainable hiring manager expectations and offensive constraints on salary compared with demanded skills seem to have created artificial scarcities of talent in IT hiring (pipeline). Candidates are expected to come in the door having every bullet point in a 120 bullet point job ad satisfied as to core-competencies, and when hired, they're given a workstation and sent off to the grind with just enough training and grooming to know the name of the product and the ability to rattle off a list of libraries and frameworks used. Skill gaps get resumes thrown out, even if it's some middling gap that with time and support from senior techs can be rapidly closed with a dose of on the job training. Something that seems as extinct as the pterodactyl nowadays.

Heck, just last week I had a talk with a recruiter who was looking for a DevOps Engineer (not strictly IT in the traditional sense of the phrase, but I bring this up to highlight my point) and we joked about one job spec that was looking for a senior level expert with five years experience in Kubernetes (competent managers). Let that one soak in. The hiring manager demanded a five year expert in Kubernetes, which hasn't been around for a full three.

My recruiter friend told me they dropped this client after a few more job specs like this because they couldn't get a single candidate past a pre-screening due to hiring manager expecting the world-and they were preparing to do the same to a few other clients for the same reason. I asked if she were worried about what this would do to their billings "No, because we have other clients who pay us more, but have much more manageable expectations on job candidates."

I wish this were the exception versus the norm but if I have to hear one more time that there aren't qualified IT people I will probably rip what's left of my greying hair right out of my head because if this is true, it's not the fault of IT personnel, it's the fault of everyone involved in the hiring process refusing to manage their own darn expectations.
Ask HN: How would you store a split secret?
Say you have a secret, and you split it with Shamir's secret sharing algorithm in 3 parts, such that you can reconstruct the secret with any 2 parts.

My question is: how would you practically store the 3 pieces, such that you can retrieve 2 when you need, but an attacker unlikely could get any 2 of them?

I'm really interested in practical examples, including print & store in a safe, send it to a trusted friend, etc. Also the viceversa, why you wouldn't do something.

Lynn Margulis was a huge proponent of the idea that speciation happens mostly via symbiogenesis and cross-species gene transfer as opposed to natural selection.

How much in 1 run ? Do you get runners high ?
I'm the same kinda dinosaur, but I have to disagree with the following:

> Now, modern javascript packages for the web also use includes because it's part of NPM and the Node ecosystem. And as a result, there has to be a transpiling/build step to convert "Node" javascript to "frontend" javascript, or some other language to frontend javascript.

At first, I would agree, but with ES2015+ the import system isn't too different or at least shares a lot with CommonJS.

Since that's the future of JS modularization, I think it's important to embrace it. However, there is one area where the TC39 committee, along with browser vendors/Node, really messed up is the releasing of the module system with so much undefined or all over the place.

For example, the lack of a bundling strategy. Every person I've talked to about this has just said "oh, http2 will take care of it". Really? Even if http2 supports multiple connections, there will either need to be multiple round-trips to the server for further dependencies (which, physics puts a limit on the speed that can happen at), or you need to calculate on the server and send over what's needed.

So I think these module bundlers are essentially doing that at build time (which sucks for runtime dynamic inclusion of resources).

Then there's the whole .mjs fiasco with Node.

Since committees are so often slow to update (for valid reasons, many times), and miss many valid use cases, I think the new world of frontend development will include some sort of tooling like this.

It should, God willing, start to simplify (maybe kind of like how npm scripts are becoming more preferred to gulp and the like).

Value your time? Learn to use a pressure cooker, or slow cooker. Once you get good at prep work, it is 10-15 minutes to prepare all the ingredients and put them into a pot.

The article seems to have been updated recently to include more information about this "drill":

- Officials said the alert was the result of human error and not the work of hackers or a foreign government. The mistake occurred during a shift-change drill that takes place three times a day at the emergency command post, according to Richard Rapoza, a spokesman for the agency.

- In Washington, Lindsay Walters, a deputy press secretary, said that President Trump had been informed of the events. “The president has been briefed on the state of Hawaii’s emergency management exercise,” she said. “This was purely a state exercise.”
This kind of accident has happened many times in the history of the Emergency Alert System (EAS)[1] and the earlier Emergency Broadcast System (EBS). The false alarm of 1971[2] actually revealed a major flaw in the EBS. During the incident, a legitimate national alert initiation message was erroneously broadcast instead of the scheduled test message. Many stations did not propagate the message as required because of confusion caused by receiving it within the time window of a scheduled test. Interestingly, this revealed a major flaw in the system in the event of a real emergency: that an adversary could time its attack with a test broadcast of the EBS, rendering the system generally ineffective.

I believe you are correct that it's not fractional, their website claims "100% Backed - Every tether is always backed 1-to-1, by traditional currency held in our reserves. So 1 USD₮ is always equivalent to 1 USD." [1]

There's a couple of good stories about massive outages and good incident response. Mine is just one of them (and at some level, I was very lucky).

There's also the one where all the frontend servers worldwide went into a crash loop from a bad configuration push. The SRE doing the push noticed some "weirdness" and rolled back even before the full scope of the issue was known. That one's in the SRE book.
You may be a Protestant, but you're not a Calvinist. For Calvinists there are only the elect (who always were in the grace of God and guaranteed a place in heaven) and the reprobate (who never were in the grace of God, and so are damned to hell). It's the Calvinist view of humanity that prevails in the USA.

I should add that there's one area where blockchain systems have a pretty strong advantage: establishing a sequence of events.

Court cases often come down to who had the better evidence. If you sue me saying you never approved something, but I have meeting minutes showing otherwise, then I am more less going to win by default. Likewise if I say you never had authority to withdraw money from the company account, but you can produce a copy of an authority letter held by the bank with your name on it, you win.

Blockchain promises to shortcut a lot of evidentiary stuff, which is a win. That's why there are so many banks interested in distributed ledgers, title registries, supply chain custody and so on.
I think my favorite quote about my outage was "boy, it's a good thing you didn't decide to go take a crap right about then..."

He may have an incendiary and flippant writing style, but it’s worth noting that he was a founder and COO of Monax (née Eris) which released an open source private-chain fork of Ethereum in 2014. He’s qualified to have an opinion on complex smart contracts and not be called a troll. If anything he’s emblematic of the frustration felt by many early adopters who understand that the hype bubble is making it hard for this rather experimental technology to meet inflated expectations (Vitalik recently being another prime example).
