It's really not a big deal to use tap water, I did for years until I lost enough weight that my sleep apnea went away.

1.) Fill the tank with regular cheap vinegar to get rid of the mineral deposits. Maybe there is a problem with some tanks, but mine were all plastic or stainless steel and vinegar didn't seem to have any affect on them.

2.) Usually the tanks hold enough water for two nights, maybe a little more, at the settings I used them at. Dumping out the water in the morning kept the mineral content from becoming concentrated due to evaporation, and kept the buildup down to more manageable levels. If I didn't dump the tank every morining then I have rapid mineral buildup. I know it sounds silly, but it took me an embarasing amout of time to figure this out.

Once I worked out those two things I had no trouble with using regular tap water in the humidifier.
Well, all you need to do is try it to see for yourself. It takes a week, just eat meat and cobb/greek salad and broiled broccoli and green beans or whatever. Basically just cut out the grains (+ potatoes/fries, etc) they try to trick you into eating. That is all it takes.

Show HN: Minimize downtime with Laravel-online-migrator
Thanks, webrecorder.io looks particularly good. I’d also forgotten about archive.is I should use that more.
This unofficial package for Laravel tries to ease the pain of running Laravel DB migrations on large, MySQL tables. It converts them to pt-online-schema-change commands. While it cannot completely shield developers from the intricacies of PTOSC it can help keep the migrations table updated and the migrate commands consistent.

Traits are also provided to mark migrations known to be incompatible.

I mean, that is a good pitch in theory, that just doesn't resonate with my experience as a consumer in retail.

Go to any store that has self-checkout currently. Usually there is one attendee servicing 4 machines. No one comes up to you to chat, they only come over when theres a problem. When you go to a manned-checkout, they usually ask how you are doing, if you found everything ok, if you want to join a loyalty program...etc. Some of the checkout people I know very well over the years in my community. One even gave my infant daughter free socks because she has grandchildren.

You wont get that in this future. Those checkers will be gone. You'll just have employees minding their own business tending to their work, like you will with yours.

There's a difference in the kind of things that proof assistants like Coq can do and what computer algebra systems like Sage can do. One can still use CAS like Sage to prove things and not just do numerical computations, but it's a bit of a different approach

>Assange and Wikileaks have been demonised because they decided to release information in such a way as to deliberately influence an election

Wikileaks has always been anti-US, when they finally manage to deliver a good punch they’re suddenly a bad actor?

> also can't help but feel like they've stopped being transparency campaigners and whistleblowers, and now do it for the social media spectacle and publicity. Just look at how they released Vault 7, with their viral cryptic posts before the release. Wikileaks feels more like a media agency than a group of transparency crusaders

Publicity brings more leaks. They’re simply doing a good job.

I feel like the best audience for the product is elderly people. The Portal has a serious shot and helping to fight isolation and loneliness. The downside of the Portal is giving up a bit of privacy. Isolation with elderly is such a big problem that for me at least, it's worth the potential downside. I tried setting my 94-year-old grandparents with an Echo Show last December and what unfolded was hilarious:
https://nanagram.co/blog/echo-show-unboxing

But in all seriousness, in the coming weeks, when I was able to get the Echo Show to actually work, it was an incredible tool for communicating with my elderly grandparents. The two main problems with it (besides being unable to say "Alexa") were them hardly ever being in view of the fixed camera and the volume buttons not being user-friendly. Ultimately it didn't work out. My grandmother is now between assisted living / rehab / hospitals and I'm seriously considering the Portal.

I think mips r3k has a better behaving add ("addu"), or is that only on some? if your compiler outputs these you don't have to worry about special behavior.

I'd say a bigger concern, for vax - the lack of IEEE754 is noticeable when people pick unsuitable float constants, or it traps by default. or the many GCC bugs now.

For mips r3k, the complete lack of atomics. And the load delays.

You mentioned that some of the details are beyond your math skills. The reason I am so vocal against claims that Dwave have a quantum computer is because I work in this field (Yale Quantum Institute) and these details are what my work is about.

The "qubits" Dwave has most certainly are not entangled and even they have never claimed it. Dwave themselves have stopped claiming they have a quantum computer, and have introduced this term "quantum annealing" which is something that you can more efficiently do on a classical computer.

Yes, you can buy something from Dwave, so it is not vaporware, it is just snake oil. This is why it is frustrating for me to respond to your comments: you are dismissing the very measurable progress my colleagues have done over the last two decades (just look at qubit lifetimes, "break even" error correction procedures, generation of entangled pairs, etc) while claiming that a device that is incapable of sustaining any particularly interesting quantum state is to be held in high regard.

And while Dwave's engineering efforts should be praised, their misleading PR has led to false misleading claims like yours and for that at least their PR department deserves to be shunned.

In effect it does. If you have read 20 pages and found no typos you estimate the chance of an unknown page having a typo is 1 in 20/3. But if there is 0 unread pages then there 0 cases to apply the probability to. Make it 100 pages, then you have 100 cases each with a 1 in 20/3 probability. Of course if you read 30 more and still don't find a typo, it's now 50 remaining cases each with a 1 in 50/3 (estimated) probability.
Exactly what bias are you alluding to here? It certainly isn't the usual partisan hackery, as that would imply Democrats would hate pre-2016 wikileaks for damaging their president, and continue hating it post 2016 for helping the other guy. It would also imply Republican's would have liked wikileaks pre and post 2016. Instead what we see is a huge about face on both sides. I'm not being flippant here, I legit do not know what you are talking about.
I've been a gmail/drive/GSuite/Chrome/Android user for a long time and of course I use Google for internet searches. I am getting kind of tired of their bullshit though.

However, I have also been a paid Adwords user and it is unbelievably difficult to reach a live support person with AdWords. I finally tracked down the contact page (this is years ago fwiw) and it was so intentionally buried it became quite clear to me that Google was like the anti-Apple regarding technical support.

It would not surprise if they still operate the same way. Part of the problem is that Google is a company which is "too good and too smart" for the mortal masses which comprise their user base.
Let me explain it in a Bayesian way. The Bayesian approach would be to consider a whole bunch of hypotheses about how much better Y does than X (and vice-versa), and a prior distribution over how likely you think each is a-priori. Then for each sample S, you update the probability of each hypothesis H by multiplying its probability by P(S|H), then re-normalize.

Well in this case, we're only going to consider two hypotheses. Call them H0 and H1. H0 is the "null hypothesis", and says that X and Y are exactly as fast as each other. H1 is the hypothesis that H0 is wrong and Y is totally faster than X. You'll notice that H0 is oddly specific, and H1 is ill-defined. Don't worry about it.

To start off, pick your prior distribution over H0 and H1. Pick whatever you want, because we're going to ignore it shortly.

Now some evidence comes in. Time to update! We got the ordering XXXYYY. First, let's update H0. P(XXXYYY|H0) = 1 / 6choose3 = 5%. Wow, that's not a very good update for H0. It's probably just false. For expediency, let's just toss it out.

H1 is the remaining hypothesis. H1 wins! Y is faster than X.
Echoing others' encouragement. My study was an easy at-home test which confirmed how bad my hypopnia was, mostly from the blood/oxygen ratio. Mine was going down into the 70s. It was so bad that immediately after that, they scheduled an inpatient test with the PAP machine.

I was super skeptical of being able to sleep a) in a strange bed, b) with all those sensors on my head/chest, c) 4 hours earlier than usual, and d) on my back/side. (I was a hardcore stomach sleeper before.)

At the second study, they strapped me into the sensor harness, put on the mask, and turned out the lights. It took what felt like about 5 minutes to get used to the sensation, but then I was out. Like someone flipped a switch to "Sleep now." Eight hours went by like a flash.

I woke up the next morning super refreshed and feeling amazing. When they said it would be three days until I could get my machine, I was kind of sad.

Eight years later, I've still got the same machine, and it's still like hitting an off switch when I put it on. I only average about 4.5 hours' sleep during the week, but it's turbocharged. My AHI seldom crosses 2.0 and I can see exactly what I'm doing via SleepyHead.

Why so? He has shown himself over time to be someone who has constantly reneged on his responsibilities, made obtuse efforts to be "understanding" when he has no standing ("offering" to be interviewed via video from the embassy - who else gets to decide how, when, where and if they are interviewed on criminal charges?), and shown himself to be entirely partisan in his motives when it comes down to it.

Why should "we" be "collectively supporting him", precisely?

it's still "ridiculous" insofar as an extradition from Sweden would not just involve Sweden <-> US relations but US <-> UK relations (so two relations instead of just one). This isn't rocket science, there are more moving parts to the "get him from Sweden" from the simpler "Get him from the UK" plan.
> then XXXYYY is just dumb luck

That's the idea. The null hypothesis is that this is dumb luck. Here's a piece of evidence that, if this is dumb luck, is not very likely. Ergo, the odds this is just dumb luck is low and there may be a real effect here.

As the OP said, it's not meant to be used in a scientific paper, it's to let you see if you might be on the right track.
Xcode is finicky enough on the Mac. My vote would be for Apple to focus on improving it on the one platform instead of trying to shoehorn it into iOS. Better yet, free us Swift/Cocoa/iOS developers to use whatever platform we choose.
in order to believe that you must believe that WL's journalism does not stand on its own

That doesn't really follow.

Wikileaks has a very strong agenda. If you read Assange's book "When Google met WikiLeaks"[1] it's pretty clear what it is.

It's possible to believe that the leaks are real docs, but that Wikileaks timed their release to maximize their effect on the US election, and that matters a lot.

I have to wonder when people oppose Assange due to indignation about Russia or Manning if the underlying reason is actually that they don't view the war logs or the emails to have been useful investigative journalism.

I think much of the war logs was dangerously unreadacted, but broadly was good. I think Assange was very happy to release emails because it both suited his philosophy ("no secrets") and his agenda. I also believe Assange was corrupted by the idea that he would be able to escape his cage in the embassy through some combination of helping Trump and Russian support.

r3k didn't really need atomics. It wasn't SMP, and being a braindead simple 5-stage RISC, a syscall to atomic primitives was in the neighborhood of as cheap as atomic instructions are today. Cheaper if you were already in a KSEG.

Even one bad actor, at the right position and power, can make the ethical values of thousands of developers irrelevant until it's too late.

I often wonder about companies that are filled with ordinary folks, companies that do real nasty stuff. Like say Nestle, or even Enron. How do normal, ethical people get by in these companies. Do big companies and corporate culture destroy the inherent compassion and empathy in people?
I've done it, actually, and do it frequently - as an Orthodox Christian, our Nativity Fast just started and we eat beans and lentils, and I lose weight after each fast, and I never feel hungry. Don't fall for the marketing stuff! Eat traditional foods, and you will feel great! I stopped feeling hunger after I eliminated the refined carbs breakfast from my routine, and practice 16-hour IF daily. Initially, I was into the ketotard camp, but my liver paid for the fat overload, and I did not lose stubborn fat - and how could I when I was ingesting copious amounts of it not allowing the mobilization of my own! I started to lose weight with the Orthodox fasts when you have long periods of no dairy, meat, or fish. The cycling between vegan and omnivore diets has been great, and no wonder millions have been practicing it for hundreds and thousands of years! I laugh when I see people wasting so much money on exogenous ketones or fancy fats, which nobody in human history has been eating in such amounts! This is no different than raw kale juice. People make the mistake of not understanding hormesis and that each nutrient (micro or macro) has a range of positive influence on health and any intake outside of that range is detrimental. And that this range is never open on either end! Even small amounts of radiations are beneficial and at the same time - huge amounts of plain water are toxic. The tricky part is that the rage is specific to each person, it depends on the genotype, epigenetic, and many other factors such as climate, location, time in the day and year, and so on. All these diets ignore the most recent scientific discovery - epigenetics! We should eat what we're best adapted to and I'm sure my ancestors did not eat coconut oil, nor limited slow carbs like beans and legumes. On the contrary, they've had a balanced diet, did not avoid fatty meats, but didn't overeat fat either. For sure they didn't have the habit of snacking and didn't eat breakfast, and for sure ate within 6 or 8 hours. And, last, but not least - they didn't sleep as little as I or you do. Sleep length and quality are finally getting attention in the whole puzzle of health! Chronobiology is now getting more and more attention and it goes back to what I said earlier - we should stick to what we're adapted best to... unless we want to sacrifice our lives to influence (not necessarily positively!) the lives of our successors!
