Kind of anecdata here - I live at 1300m all year round, and get a reasonable amount of exercise throughout the year (20min walk every day, cycling in the summer, snowboarding in the winter most weekends). So I guess I fit somewhere between the "Altitude plus prolonged exercise" and "No altitude plus no exercise" group ("Some altitude plus some exercise"?)

Anyway, at the start of the ski season every year I go to the glacier and snowboard there, as they always open a couple of months before my home resort. The glacier is around 3000m and requires a reasonable amount of effort to get around. Usually the first couple of trips there result in me not feeling that well, occasionally I might really feel bad enough to call it a day. I definitely can feel the affect on my body/mind.

In a way I guess that agrees with the last paragraph of the article.

Hmm, that is a huge fudge; it's not been implemented at all as written, but there's some changes to make sure that Swiss jobseekers get first pick of the available jobs.

At least the Swiss are clear on what they're trying to achieve.
a reskin with better instant answers and !bangs. Both of those things give me an enormous value add, I could never bring myself to use DDG or Bing over Google if it was just about search results.

In California maybe.

Everywhere else? Not even close.

Thanks for sharing so much of your experience!

> The interesting bit is that I had a bit of an edge case with libvirt, since I wanted to cut Windows guest from the outside world leaving only RDP and SMB access. Default forwarding options in libvirt couldn't provide that. Someone helpful on IRC mentioned there's some network bridge configuration that's not fully described (or at least clear enough) in the docs, so I had to edit VM's XML Network part and write a bunch of NixOS firewall rules (and rewrite them more than a few times). This sounds easy but it was a bit out of my skill-set and I had to sweat over it for a while, but satisfaction was absolutely worth it.

Yeah that doesn't sound easy -- "someone helpful on IRC" and "network bridge configuration that's not fully described" convey the difficulty quite accurately for me. Sysadmin life is death by a thousand cuts with stuff like that, which is why everyone becomes gray beards so quickly.

I bet you someone out there has already run into this and gave up when they didn't find that helpful person on IRC or somewhere else how to solve this was written down.

> All of this felt like an achievement for me personally, but went invisible for the management, which is both a good and a bad thing.

Uhhhhhh yuuuuup? I'm don't have an MBA but I'm fairly sure you should get them to compensate you more or make you CTO or at least Director of Technology or some better title if resources are constrained. Of course, that might come with being the go-to for more of these sorts of issues but if you don't mind and want a chance to build tech with real stakes that then it seems fair.

> TLDR: A lot of complications for no particular reason except self-education and self-amusement with no monetary reward whatsoever.

It might be a little late now, but when things like this come up, you need to go out and get that monetary/other reward! I don't know what the outside specialist was going to charge, but you essentially did their job... If there's no IT department, then it should be pretty easy to just make one and be the head of it :)

How to teach Git
I haven't been with xs4all since their earliest days because I had internet through my university back then, but I do know them from when they were still called Hacktic Netwerk.

They're great. Their helpdesk is widely known to be the best. I've got my digital TV through them, and when I called their helpdesk because it failed to record an episode of Doctor Who, their helpdesk could point me to a website where I could watch it legally. They're geeks like me. In fact, I've known quite a number of people who work/worked there.

I'd be really sad to see them go, and I agree with the article: it sounds unlikely that KPN will fight for digital rights the way XS4all has done.

Wait, what is this going to mean for my email address? I hope they'll keep xs4all.nl email addresses active, or this is going to cause a lot of problems for me.
The EU is big enough to compete with the US and China.

Without the EU, the UK is about as big as California.
There was no talk of falling back to WTO rules.

There was talk of 'hard' and 'soft' Brexits.

Mainly there was talk of how we could stay in the single market, and maintain all the good things about EU membership without having to pay any of the costs.

Those who didn't bother to vote should not be considered at all. If you do not vote your forfeit your voice.
It’s not nothing, but the difference is at least an order of magnitude.

Consider: I am probably 0% likely to book an Airbnb in my own city. Almost all of my Airbnb’s will be somewhere else, so I only really care about remote stock.

By contrast, something like 90%+ of my Uber rides are going to be local. In many of the places I might travel to, I don’t need Uber at all (the location is rural/suburban, the public transit system is cheap and effective, cabs are widely available, etc).
As it turns out, more data is a far second to doing anything at all.
That's what Switzerland does.

Just today I voted about an energy act, a police act and a residence planning act. I admit that I didn't study the law texts carefully. Instead I read the neutral explanation of the government and both explanations of the pro and contra committees and decided whether the reasonings convinced me or not.

So even in Switzerland you could get the proverbial shit show if someone managed to convince the people with misleading arguments, and I am afraid this already happened a few times.
No they just couldn't survive on their own, too small, too niche.
I am not sure if it isn't.

Among other things, transactions are not cheap, as they were supposed to be. The chain supporters are trying to pivot the whole thing as "Store of Value" which it isn't supposed to be. It does not scale. There are better blockchains offering everything bitcoin does and more (Ethereum for one).
That goes both ways. I'm visiting Estonia in March, before we leave, deliberately. After? There are plenty of other places in the world that I haven't seen and I would like to. If the EU continues to be awkward then my family and I will go elsewhere.
It's also not rocket science to clone their MAC and do the authentication afaik. But I've never had to do it so I'm not sure if it seems easier than it is.
Me neither, I liked the concept of mutation testing. (I was using this performing changes manually, without knowing this technique has a nice name).
I would appreciate if somebody points out a mutation framework /tools for .net
In fact non UK citizens do vote. Any citizeon of Ireland or of a Commonwealth nation, resident in the UK, is entitled to vote in every UK general election.
Intereseting, at every hint found in the blogpost, i was trying to guess the next steps, fun !
> nobody here knows who's in it, what they do or how they got there.

> ignorance

People can't be proud of not knowing about the EU and complain about being called ignorant at the same time.

(Quite a lot of this is misinformation, frankly - the Mail and the Express run hilariously biased anti-EU campaigns on their front pages.)
On paper at least, the UK and Denmark do have special opt-outs from the Euro while all the other EU states are legally bound to join it. In reality it's likely that several of the non-Eurozone states will simply never join it and there's nothing to ensure that they ever do.
The problem with these type of comments is that they never mention how much coffee, and what type of coffee, was consumed before the life-changing decision.

It is pretty much anecdotal evidence.
Most industries which have any significant exports will aim to have their products comply with all requirements in all markets they are exporting to. Generally there is less to be gained by setting up seperate production for each market, even if some of them have more lax requirements, than there is by having one system which can address all markets (this breaks down if there are mutually exclusive requirements, which can cause a lot of pain).

Thank you, Im not crazy. I was reading HN very confused.
Based on the description I thought it was a kind of "fake glare effects for testing website readability"-thing, but it's more like another lib for the https://github.com/dsalaj/awesome-quirks list, I guess :)
Also

* they actively promote network neutrality

* their fiber offering is just plain ethernet, so if you have a switch with an SFP slot, that's all you need (well aside of whatever you use as a router - but in my case, that's a VM running PFSense - you're totally free to chose whatever you want). Fewer moving parts means fewer issues.

* they hand out native IPv6 addresses and if you ask them, even a static prefix (for free)

* if you get a static prefix, they even delegate the ip6.arpa zone for reverse lookups

* total soft-factor: their support people use Dovecot Mail under Linux and their press releases are written in Libre Office

Disclaimer I have no relationship with them aside of being a very, very happy customer and I once brought them two bottles of whisky as a thanks for being really quick to set it up for me after I waited a long time for the electrician to put the fiber in my apartment.
I Didn't Like the Egg
Funny enough I had a related talk with a friend just yesterday. Say that there is a hard contest with cruel winning odds which -if you succeed- you get a permanent position in a public sector body (say ECB) with very good salary for life. Also say that the situation in private sector (job market) goes to hell and shows no signs of reverting any time soon. Then say you succeed and get that lifer position where no one can fire you from but yourself. Then imagine you get a boss or an environment that it is so damned toxic that is unbearable. But still no one can fire you. No one but you. But now the dilemma is huge. Do you quit a permanent position and jump back to hell (even less well equipped since the time you left it) or do you just hang on in there hoping for a wind change? The stakes are much higher than if you were in yet another private job where you'd be just refreshing your CV and interviewing.

Dunno - I guess there are cases where you need to be careful what you wish for.
You are not far off.

I think most people voting in the 2016 referendum were, in their minds, answering the question "do you want to give th establishment a good kicking?".
its not free, you just dont own it anymore you lease it essentially, if anything its kind of a negative as like renting a house over having it on a mortgage youre not left with something with resale value at the end, however you are also not responsible for the cost of upkeep so i guess it offsets
I have written StaticMarks[0], where I manage most of my bookmarks. The bookmarks are stored in yaml files and transformed into a single, shareable HTML file. You get all the flexibility, but on the other hand the additional cost of setting everything up to suit your workflow. Personally, I manage the yaml files in git and create the HTML on my server after every git push.

Where this approach does not work is when you archive a lot of links for later. Then I would suggest something like Pinboard[1].

I feel this is an instance of "hate the game not the player". Funding of scientific research should always be good, even if the stakeholders are hoping for a favorable outcome. By it's definition science is merely uncovering the truth and can't be swayed.

The reality however where we don't trust the results (especially around nutrition), the issues with replication of studies, and wrong usage of p-values is the real problem. Perhaps we need to mandate replication studies... I'm not sure what the solution is - but I don't feel blaming the industry is the right approach either. Science has the problem here.
Subaru fans will say it's not a Subaru as it's RWD. It's really a bastard child of Toyota and Subaru.

I've actually never heard anyone in New Zealand (where they're also very popular, as the Toyota 86) complain about it being a "Subaru".

I think that badge engineering (i.e. putting a Toyota badge on a Subaru or a BMW) isn't looked down upon so much over here, as it's been commonplace for decades.
Exactly. I don't mind paying a bit more to support an ISP that fights for our rights and those of others, and gives us access to the full power of the internet. Maybe KPN will continue the latter, but it's hard to imagine them doing the former. I mean, if KPN does fight on the forefront of internet freedom, that would be absolutely fantastic, of course. But it doesn't sound like them.
You, as a nation, have elected Trump. As long as he's in charge, in my opinion any further discussion of such matters would be pointless. That's my honest opinion, sorry if it hurts. You need to fix your own problems first ("America First") before it even makes sense to start discussing US foreign politics, for a current foreign politics doesn't really exist, it merely consists of sending contradictory signals, brown-nosing dictators, destroying international treaties and alliances, and estranging allies.
Ask HN: How do you get over perfectionism/overthinking in hobby projects?
I have many empty repositories at Github which were supposed to be ML softwares. The reason is that whenever I started to write code, I was obsessed with making it abstract, extendable, modular, easy-to-read, ... (Rare thing among ML softwares)
So most of my time was spent on designing modules without writing any actual ML code! And then I got disappointed and let it go.
Any suggestion on how to cool down this obsession so I can write at least some actual working code for god sake?
I am too optimistic about humanity. I think there are billions of humans on Earth and not all are as stupid as some people might presume. In fact I would say if there's any humans that survive, it will probably be the 1% that many people hate. I think even then being in the USA easily increases your survival chances.

At the same time, I have absolutely no doubts what is to come. If this is the end of humanity then so be it. It would be irrational to feel bad because I can't do much to stop a disaster like that. I accepted last year that I will die, everyone I love will die, and even potentially all of humanity will die perhaps in my lifetime, and I have made my peace with it.

I have spent a significant amount of time reading all the ways the dominoes will fall and how people will die. People are dying right now.

Happiness comes from within, not from outside. What happens outside should not affect what you feel inside. That's the mindset I learned from stoicism and reading Victor Frankl. "The one thing you can’t take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me. The last of one’s freedoms is to choose one’s attitude in any given circumstance."

If you are too emotional and depressed, you will be unproductive/not be able to do much to help, and do you also want to spend the little time you have like that? I choose to enjoy the little life I have with the people I love but not in ignorance. I will do everything I can but I will not let it darken my life and my disposition. I hope that makes sense.
From a high level things look doable, but going deep in the c/c++, they're not.
In my experience the difference between Google and DDG results is that when Google has desired page as the first result, DDG will have it somewhere on the first page of results. Definitely not as good, but still very much comparable.

And I also pretty much never have to use !g. DDG results are sufficient most of the time, and when they are not, I notice Google usually also fails to provide satisfactory results.
Levels and levels of plotting.

What happens if the takeover fails? Well. Valor has the XRP of those dumb enough to exchange their XRP for the Valor tokens. Valor tokens are worthless and then Valor can just sell the XRP for profit.

Unless they spend too much in shorting they stand to profit from those who believe their takeover will succeed.
This person's wiring closet needs to have all Ethernet switch ports in a default 'shut' state and assigned to a quarantine vlan.

It's amateur hour if you can just plug in any random rpi, it gets a DHCP lease, access to the company lan, and a route to the outside internet.
I hadn't realised that the wifi->address mapping was so publicly available. That means a list of wifi addresses that you've connected your phone to is also a location history. :(
Plugging out is kinda bad idea, I would start with cold boot attack just in case sd card would be encrypted.
>In Western countries Airbnb is almost always cheaper than hotels.

In my experience traveling across Europe it depends - for example just last month I was in Vienna and Marriott was cheapest on the days we were looking (apples to apples comparison). But then in Budapest AirBnB was cheaper. Got the best deal on booking for Amsterdam and London. You still need to go trough multiple sites if you're looking for the best deal.
This is incompatible with dominant funding models: private VC funding requires that the non-failures get exploited enough to make up for the failures. Publicly traded shares make it impossible to prevent shareholders who think that the company could grow to 10x from buying out those who think that it can or should only grow to x. Employee-owned coops will see their de-facto ruling bureaucrats seek to rule a bigger organisation, because that's the kind of personality who rises into those positions. The only funding model that has a chance to stay "happy-sized" (and where it's even possible that claims like "we care for our customers" are not lies) are owner-run bootstrapped shops and they often enough do stay that way. But for the same reason they hardly ever make it into the news.
Works fine for me in VSCode using vetur.
Is there any point in talking about DDG "privacy" as long as they use yandex (which is basically an fsb (kgb) outlet) as a search backend?
Part of the reason I dont work at such places. Wouldn't want to be somewhere where I am treated like an idiot.
This makes me all nostalgic about those early internet days. DDS was a fantastic idea. I'm surprised it still exists. Who owns it now? Can we all support it into something like xs4all was?
interesting doesn't have mine in the UK maybe its just USA
Is it impossible to generate fake reviews, fake rental transactions, multiple accounts, etc. on air bnb?

The perception of safety could be more dangerous for some using air bnb as opposed to those on CL who are fully aware that there is no safety net nor hand-holding.
> 1. greater autonomy in deciding on laws (especially wrt things like immigration policy)

Which turned out to have been possible all along, Theresa May simply didn't implement the EU rules which have already existed when she was home secretary. Immigration can never be solved by leaving the EU because it was already solved.

> They want the European oversight on laws.

If the last two years have shown us, the UK doesn't have the technical ability to run itself, the government can't even organise leaving let alone the mammoth task of re-implementing the 500-odd trade deals they will lose.
I haven't worked with it extensively, but from what I've seen, it's far beyond what most teams should consider. It's basically a more thorough method of measuring test coverage, pointing out cases that have not been covered by your tests yet. However, the number of tests that it would have you write to reach 100% mutation coverage is not justified by the number of bugs you'll catch, unless the impact of any bug is very high (I suppose at NASA?). In fact, the amount of work required to even check which tests you missed is already not justified.

I usually use coverage as a tool to remind me of pieces of code I intended but forgot to test [1], so setting it to an arbitrary percentage is not that useful, in my opinion. If 100% is not feasible usually as well, that makes Mutation Testing in general not worth the effort.

Again, take my opinion with a grain of salt.

True, I guess - voting systems in general is a topic that interests me. For the sake of not going too far off-topic, let's leave it at that :)
The now kind of forgotten Google row where it was discovered they were scanning all wifi networks while mapping speaks volumes to this. If you have a map that details signal strengths you can infer someones location pretty accurately (not gps accurate, but within the ballpark) even if they have location services off just by logging and plotting them against your wifi coverage map.
> If your goal is sowing chaos, you gotta build from those legitimate concerns.

Since when is "Europe is gonna be islamized by refugees" a legitimate concern? It's not backed by facts in any way! The point is these "concerns" are fabricated outright or massively exaggerated by propaganda. Which is to a huge part a fault of Facebook as they failed to curb abuse.

In Switzerland it is not a problem to repeat a vote, either after about ten years or if there are new circumstances justifying a re-evaluation or if the proposition has been modified to appease the opponents. Some proposals needed several retries to be accepted by the Swiss. It takes time.

I seriously think that UK should stop the process and start again. This is not undemocratic because people now know better (new circumstances justifying a re-evaluation). The process would be like this:

1. The parliament decides to cancel the process

2. A Spanish judge made a proposal how to halt the Brexit

3. An emergency committee tries to find a temporary deal with the EU

4. After a year or so, the popular vote is repeated
Anyone surprised?

Of course you can choose a non-free license for your code, but it comes with consequences. One of them is that Linux distributions that value free licenses will no longer act as your distributor.
I think mutation testing really shines in code bases that are already heavily tested, because it let's you discover test cases that you don't actually need. Tests are a burden since you have to adapt them when you change the behavior. With mutation testing you can prune your test code by identifying tests that test very similar behavior.
