Very niche and nearly useless...

To answer the question: you should start using them now if you care about other things more than about socializing. If you primarily care about socializing you'd obviously want to socialize where everyone is and that's the centralized social networks.

Ironically these niche guys have to post on centralized sites to attract users. That's what makes sense for them, and that's fine, but I'd argue their efforts to promote their niche decentralized networks make them use centralized networks even more than they did before.
> Individuals and Interactions over processes and tools

Indeed, it's my experience this is often ignored, along with "ditch what doesn't work for you". I've seen countless articles (and job descriptions!) claiming, for example, that "pair programming" is the sine qua non of Agile; if you don't do it, you're doing something wrong. Or "sure, use what works for you, except if you don't follow these guidelines you are on your own".

I, for example, consider pair programming extremely exhausting. It works for me in very short spans and very limited applications; pushed too far it makes me consider switching jobs.
But since statins increase deaths from cardiovascular disease, it is very possible that EPA is only protective against the damage of statins, rather than being beneficial in general.
The time frame isn't completely explicit in Wallace's account, but the references to discovering it "this week" and spending "all day" Thursday-before-2pm getting to the bottom of it could indicate a timeframe as short as:

(1) Wednesday PM, Wallace finishes "several assignments" for this one client, marking them done in the system - and that on top of the other "dozens" of jobs he's done for them in the last few weeks, including "rush" jobs, flips his account into the "compliance concern" status which hides him from that one client.

(2) Thursday AM, friend at agency says, "hey, we can't seem to hire you for more gigs"; Wallace says, "that seems wrong, ask Upwork"; agency quickly responds, "they can't explain, ask on your end".

(3) Wallace finally reaches someone at Upwork after lunch Thursday PM, getting the unsatisfying explanation, then posting his angry tweetstorm 2:21PM Thursday/8th.

Taking a day or two to explain an exceptional situation, or perhaps a situation that's part of a brand-new policy adopted under legal pressure, is not necessarily an awful failure.

We don't really know if there might have been other explanations that would have come a few hours later, or that he missed somehow.

It's even possible the status of his account was some short-term temporary "gray out" status, that nudges freelancers/buyers to diversify their counterparties, and that this gray-out status almost always results in a "cure" quickly with no explicit communication required.

I would prefer explicit transparency in such situations... but could also understand why the company might be a little coy about directly coaching freelancers. (If they get that coaching even just a little wrong, according to some later interpretation of the contractor rules, it could wind up being used as additional evidence against them.)
Thank you. Could you mention a brand that I could look into and compare to what I was taking? And what are they sourced from (those that you took?).

It's winter soon so I guess I could give it another go.
Sweden is a failed state.

Change my mind.
It should be made more complicated for companies to easily "import" skills that are not so hard to learn. Companies should train their employees for the coming new skills required. This is what Swiss companies were doing when it was impossible to immigrate in Switzerland. And the employee-employer relationship was a lot healthier than today.

It’ll be so frustrating to watch the current leaders in these industries, the companies who are actively fighting for ways to get around regulation, as they suddenly begin to fight for regulation to keep cooperative or community owned infrastructures out of the competition pool.

Yes for most userland applications removing hidden allocations is not a concern, which is why for most general purpose programming languages this is way down the priority list.

Most languages make allocations behind your back so that your code can focus on the logic you actually care about since you could not do anything about running ot of memory anyways.

However there are projects where that level of control matters. For those projects C is currently still the default choice, even though it was designed more than 40 years ago. Some choices made back then might be huge liabilities for code we are writing now, because we still need that kind of language. A modern alternative to C could provide a huge value to all of us, mostly through more correct, secure and/or performant software.

They are getting ripped off.

Many record companies, in their own financial interest, reduced the royalty cost for streams with Spotify in exchange for revenue shares.

I would feel pretty ripped off if I made a big, delicious cake, and as a reward I get one tiny slice while I had to watch everyone else eat the rest. Maybe not if making cakes is just a small hobby for me, but definitely so if it's my career.
A fuel burning turbine is much more mass efficient than a lithium battery powered one. And hence also makes the whole vehicle more fuel efficient.

But a turbine is much harder to develop and manufacture. Especially at small scale, the turbine is also inefficient so it has less advantage to a battery there.

It wouldn't make sense to run the Falcon 9 pumps with batteries.

I’d rather my monthly fee go to only the artists I play. Say, for some percentage of my fee minus operating costs. That would reward artists according to their draw.
In case anyone is interested in alternatives, I think we live in an amazing time for non-streaming music consumption.

I run the VLC app on my mobile devices, which allows me to spawn a web server served off the mobile device that I can connect to in the browser on my laptop or desktop PCs.

I can upload raw music files (mp3, ogg, etc etc) onto the mobile devices seamlessly, and it categorizes them by album.

I only ever buy full album or track digital downloads from bandcamp or Amazon music. Zero DRM, just straight archive files of mp3s usually (bandcamp lets you select which audio file type for a long list of options).

For unknown music, you usually pay what you want or pay a small price like $1 on bandcamp, which is almost always worth it even when just testing out some music I’m not sure if I’ll return to yet or not, especially compared with the negative externalities of subscriptions with Spotify.

I consume probably 5 different $10 albums per year and maybe another few hundred or so LPs or individual tracks at about $1 each. My music budget is probably about $250 / year, which is roughly twice the price with Spotify premium.

I could go on another rant about how Spotify’s content discovery / collaborative filtering offerings are extraordinarily poor and provide genuinely negative value for me when I previously used the product, but regardless I feel very happy to avoid Spotify’s negative externalities. That is well worth an extra $10/month of Spotify-avoidance-fee to do it with non-streaming options.

Thanks for reply!

I realize now I wasn't clear about that "quality" bit - I didn't mean to imply your publishing has quality issues; it was just a statement about the contents of books, based on my experience reading them. I don't find this unexpected or bad either, this comes naturally with lowering barriers to entry and letting more people become authors. I like your service and I believe you're doing a very good job.
Interesting that they put a full blown XX32F103 there for jtag and still use a CH340 for serial. They could easily use the F103 for both, to bring the cost down (save on USB conn, 12mhz crystal, serial IC, etc). That's savings of 0.30 USD right there.
Also, fuck the lack of functional pockets on women's clothing. I carry a purse out of necessity now. That's like requiring jQuery in a library to do something that flexbox would accomplish!
What a brilliantly capitalistic move. Amazon pretends to have a huge, one-locale supply of high-paying jobs and the promising ecosystem of economic activity around that center, and the demand is huge from cities. What if they grow into the next SV or Seattle from this?

Once the cities agreed to the deals with such growth prospects in mind, and given the huge demand from other cities, Amazon bait and switched these saps. They get to have their cake and eat it too, NYC and DC, non-HQ2 premises, but just satellite offices. Well, that could have been done without the theater, though the buzz was tantamount to free advertising for them and ratcheted up all the incentives.
That's what this is just the other way around on the VM portion.

As we move towards using more not-COMs and “dot whatevers”, right now it’s actually better to use a www since many non-technical people may not know that alphabet.xyz is a domain name. So in any offline marketing I’d definitely add www to the beginning of a not-com.

For SEO purposes, if traffic is just clicking from one site to another, like from a search engine, the url doesn’t matter. But it does pay to be consistent, though. The main issue can be duplicate content isssues, so you should choose one version. Same goes for all 4 versions, though, if you add http vs https into the mix. Choose one.

I can see www not being needed to tell the non-techies that a not-com is a domain name or web address as they get more used to not-coms. I senior taking another 5 years until we get there.
> "Fine and Manson stressed that vitamin D and the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil are important nutrients, but the best way to get them is as part of a well-balanced diet. That includes eating fatty fish like sardines, tuna and salmon, and vitamin-D fortified cereals, milk, and orange juice."

That doesn't make any sense in the case of Vitamin D. The amount of fish necessary to get a reasonably high amount of Vitamin D from a diet is so high, you may well get heavy metal poisoning. Fish is pretty much the only viable dietary source of Vitamin D.

There is only two way to get "enough" Vitamin D: Sunlight and supplements. Obtaining enough sunlight in the winter with an office job isn't possible in the northern hemisphere.
This is more for reddit than hacker news (although i would say hacker news is the same to a lesser degree). More and more I've been feeling that all that exposure does is make one feel like one is learning a lot but in reality its just a wide shallow understanding not really useful for anything. It's good to gain exposure but its easy to fall into the trap of mistaking exposure for thinking real hard and working to understand something deeply, at least that is how i feel.
Actually I’d like to see more live performances. If there’s so much talent in search of work then that should be possible. But people also only want to hear the stuff off the radio exactly as they heard it.

It's too bad Capsicum was never merged into the Linux kernel[1]. It would have been nice to have one sandboxing API to use across the two operating systems, and the two projects could share the effort of sanboxing existing programs and libraries.

Actually, no - he meant the size in bytes. For example, my Digital Ocean droplet reports...

model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630L 0 @ 2.00GHz
cache size : 15360 KB

To understand the context of the article's claim, let me just add that we used to make fun of Emacs people by saying the name stood for "Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping". That was a time when a machine with 8MB was a big one. You can see above that machines nowadays have caches larger than that!

And to compensate, we've now invented editors based on Javascript :-)
The kernel is called XNU; it's a weird Mach derivative which I do believe has pieces of BSD grafted on.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot and came to a conclusion that because of the fact that in communist/socialist society of Soviet Union money couldn’t buy you things you wanted, government really struggled to motivate people.

That’s why they resorted to intimidations, threats and physical abuse to force people to perform, as soon as propaganda couldn’t bring the needed motivation anymore.

In the west a lot of people work hard because they anticipate some big reward in the end. In Soviet Union, even celebrities lived like peasants, only party leaders had more than others.

>Fish oil is not needed at all. The EPA and DHA in fish was initially produced by algae anyway

People who lived in areas without fish also lived in areas without algae.

>The 2 essential fatty acids are

It is worth noting that there is basically no evidence that those 2 fatty acids are actually essential. A single study done in the 1930s is the basis for that belief. A study in which rats fed no fat got symptoms we now would consider indicative of vitamin B6 deficiency. This study was done prior to the discovery of vitamin B6. Although adding "essential" omega 6 fatty acids alleviated the rat's symptoms, later studies were able to alleviate the symptoms using vitamin B6 while the rats continued to receive absolutely no fats.

>Linseed oil (flaxseed oil) is a good provider of essential fatty acids

And linseed oil consumption is correlated with an increase in all cause mortality.

>Experts recommend a vegan diet against heart disease and cancer.

Experts recommend all sorts of things that contradict evidence. Like taking statins even though they increase mortality. Or switching from perfectly safe saturated fats to "heart healthy" trans fats even though it increases mortality. Or once trans fats were too obviously bad they simply changed their recommendation to "polyunsaturated fats" which are also correlated with increased mortality.

Do you have specific resources you would recommend for learning to produce better estimates?

I'm also curious what kind of work you do that you find estimating effort to be reliable, and what kind of tracking you do to keep yourself honest (e.g. I often see people say something will take two weeks and the only reason it happens in two weeks is they end up working day and night for the last 5-7 days when they realize that's what it's going to take to make it happen).
