Exactly; I wasn't entirely kidding - steam bath would be a reasonable control. The key (beyond providing equivalent attention from study staff) is that the intervention seems like it /might/ do something. That's why I don't think just standing in the chamber without cooling would be a suitable control.

One great challenge in studying complementary/integrative health interventions is selecting the right control group, because practitioners will argue that the control is too much like the active treatment. (So, for example, a cold shower /might/ work, if the mechanism is the same, so it wouldn't be a great control in the initial proof-of-concept experiment.)

A good way to target a Lisp to Python might be to forget the Python AST and target its virtual machine directly.

The compiler could itself be written in its own target dialect, and bootstrapped with some existing Lisp.

I find it even more interesting that my comment, which is factually correct, has been flagged.

The Yellow Vest movement started in France and has been prominent in the countries listed within the article. The governments of those countries have also been defying popular wishes, particularly regarding Brexit.

So I am curious as to why my comment should be flagged instead of replied to. Interesting indeed - hit a nerve?

Fully building out a 2nd set of dedicated infrastructure doesn't seem efficient.

I think it would be far less expensive to have a neutral 3rd party of engineers, economists, and finance folks figure out a way to compute the cost of demoting freight to 2nd billing. And then by law require passenger service to have priority, and to pay for it, while having safeguards for either party to game the system, with on-going audits.

This might be a kind of taking of private property for public use, which is allowed by the fifth amendment so long as there's just compensation. Whether sections are leased or bought can be a point of the negotiation. But using existing infrastructure is inherently more efficient so long as there aren't already congestion problems. And where there are congestion problems it makes sense to mitigate those locations.

"an unknown flood plain"

Is there anything about Rust that would make it hard to use existing python extensions that are written in C? I see the FFI docs, so it seems like it would be fine, but have no Rust experience.
To me, the real problem is not the dotfiles, but the regular (i.e. non-hidden) files that applications surreptitiously create in my home folder. (Which the author does mention as being particularly bad.) dotfiles in the home folder are not a new thing on Linux (e.g. .bashrc, .profile, .emacs, etc.), even if it would be better if more applications used the XDG folders. And if I don't see them when I "ls", they don't bother me.

But nowadays, lots of applications seem to think it's OK to put normal files in my home folder without asking first. This is just outright barbarism. In particular, Ubuntu now seems like it's all-in on snaps, and if you use snaps, they create a non-hidden "snap" folder in the user's home folder. Madness! And when people complain, the devs have the gall to suggest that this is all fine:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1575053

I like the idea of snap/flatpak in the abstract, but until they get their act together, and stop creating non-hidden files in my home folder without asking first, I am never going to use snaps.

And of course, all this is on top of the new fashion for the OS to "helpfully" create Documents, Music, Video, etc folders in my home folder, and set the XDG environment variables to point to them. Noooooope.

But at least in that case the user can change the environment variables and delete the stupid folders. No such luck with ~/snap.

My takeaway, based on observations over the past few years, is that for many knowledge-work professions today, particular software engineering, there's a rather steep discount curve applied to one's experience. In many cases, your experience simply doesn't matter at all -- or, worst case, it counts against you. This obviously depends heavily on what 'segment' of the job market you're in -- nonprofits and the public sector come to mind as probably exceptions -- but I think it holds for a good portion of the software job market today.

I'm in an SRE-like position for an otherwise unmanaged Kubernetes cluster. We have code merged in the repo as well as a few PRs still open.

I should note that by regularly I mean edge cases and quirkiness, not that your run of the mill cluster mostly using deployments is going to randomly explode. But our teams still find ways to regularly break it in unexpected ways.

So I guess you could call that anecdotal if you want.
Rust is particularly suited to WASM due to the lack of GC and runtime (which tend to be quite large, and have to be downloaded in a web context). And due to it being able to achieve very high performance (which is the whole point of WASM). The only other languages that really compete here are C and C++, and they don't have the great, easily installable library ecosystem that Rust has, and they aren't very accessible to JavaScript developers).

Personally I'm more excited about other uses of Rust, but I can see why people are excited about Rust and WASM.
Thanks for breaking it down and explaining it. Reading through Lyft's post I wasn't able to get this
> Why should developers cater for users who are running severely outdated hardware?

They don't have to. I know how to fix the font width via developer tools. But many people don't and devs can then hardly go and complain that their websites are losing audience or have high bounce rates.

Also this is mostly about respect for displays people may be using to view the website. There's nothing that much outdated about an old display. It just has lessened brightness/contrast. You don't have to support it in any way and there are no security implications.
This is actually what China did; their rapid growth was causing both passenger and rail traffic to skyrocket, so they essentially built a second rail network to shove passengers onto and make room for freight, which doesn't really need to travel at 200MPH.

US rail infrastructure is so old, curvy and degraded that after accounting for the work so you could run passenger rail at a respectable speed (~110MPH) you'd probably spend the same amount of money as just buying new.

There also is https://github.com/rochacbruno/rust-python-example which is something I want to look into.

It still requires you to compile the C part- which is why sometimes you need GCC when you're doing a pip install.
Fact checking is a great development. Don't get hung up on fact checkers bogus claims of neutrality and objectivity. Instead realise that "fact check" articles are basically like regular news articles but with easy to track down references and sources.
not sure why this is downvoted, it's a fair question. Conspiracy theories are fun but I think the apparent trend reflects two complementary forces:
1. More media attention to genetic testing in general (because of 23andme, other companies entering the market)
2. A great deal of concern from the medical genetics community that these tests, or at least some of them, are way ahead of the science. Geneticists who are drawn to the field out of a desire to impact health take exception to seeing their work used to take advantage of vulnerable groups. (This can go to the extreme: some geneticists would prefer that the science remain 'pure' and will probably never think it's ready for prime time.)

I started cryotherapy last year. I went every day for 30 days. I know go about once a week. I'm headed to hot yoga followed by cryotherapy for the extra shocking effect.

Anecdotally, I find it helps me recover from training. This is probably too much information, but I find it is excellent for the gentlemanly bits down under.

I'm 39. Give me more of anything that makes me feel 19 again.
Mostly I am just using it as an example of a durable good.

Let’s say it’s going to last ~5 years on average then that’s a little under 20$ per week you can set aside for the next one. For something used regularly providing 20$ a week in value is a minimal hurdle, but that does not mean they can drop the full cost on a whim. Making the extended warranty a more understandable choice.
True. For the offer I saw it was about 169k base salary, 10k signing, and then 46k of equity. We're heading into the end of a market cycle imo so I figured that the equity value should probably be discounted by some factor.

I believe this is the case everywhere in the U.S.

That is, major cell carriers claim widespread coverage in rural and exurban areas that is simply not the case.

People have had an incentive to expose this because of the federal funding for wireless expansion, but really it is a "truth in advertising" issue.
Are there any routers supported by OpenWrt that can handle 1Gbps WAN to LAN? My current router only pulls 150Mbps and I want to keep OpenWrt due to the amount of custom network configuration that has been done.
Are you sure it's tech companies? In 2006 I was paying (part of) $2800 for a generous sized two bedroom apartment in the East Village of Manhattan. At the beginning of 2010 when I moved out the landlord wanted $3500. Today it's going for for $4400.

That's a 25% increase in 3 years and then another 25% increase over the next 9 years. And there was no, or at least only minor, tech company factor in NYC.

Ask HN: Do you use server side analytics?
Client side analytics is very intrusive IMHO, I'd even go so far to claim that most times we can get the information we "need" from analyzing the server logs (Matomo supports this as a data source, which is neat).

TL;DR you rely on intrusive javascript that tracks way too much, or do you get by with bare-bones request analysis.
I have a C7 with OpenWrt, but:
If your internet is fast, OpenWrt is not good on the TP-Link C7, see this issue: https://forum.archive.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=53703. I downgraded my internet from 1gbps to 500mbps because of this issue (still plenty fast, not complaining :D)
I pay a lot of attention to what goes in my profile. My wife and I are older so several of our friends have serious health issues. We are careful to use Tor or private browsing with DuckDuckGo when doing medical related web searches. I also switched over to G Suite for $10/month in the hope that I am not being ‘harvested’ as much as when I used to use Google’s services for free. I cringe when I see the private data young relatives leak on FB.

EDIT: and, of course, keep location tracking turned off.
If you have a traditional server-rendered web application and you want to add a little bit of scripting on the client side, it can be nice to be able to share pieces of domain-specific code (for example, you might want the client and server to have the same notion of what a well-formed stock code looks like).

In more sophisticated systems, people sometimes like the client to "optimistically" do the same processing as it expects the server to do, so it can update its display more quickly.

Or if you have a mostly client-side application which builds up some fancy widget tree, sometimes people like to have the server do the same rendering as the client would so that it's there on initial page load, or so that search engines can see it.
can you give a brief account of what it argues?
Well... hopefully we can all recognize there are some older people who are generally dismissive of younger people. And some who are not. Likewise, the other way around.

You can see the problem: If it's OK for one group to be dismissive of another group because some members of that group are dismissive of them, then it all immediately blows up. There just needs to be one jerk somewhere. And of course we are all part of multiple groups that don't necessarily overlap 100% with others around us so if you take this approach generally you end up being unable to get along with hardly anyone.

I'm hoping people can usually look beyond the most obvious outward physical characteristics of the people they interact with. It doesn't seem like it should be a lot to ask -- it's in everyone's own self-interest after all -- but it doesn't always work out.
You might be underestimating the amount of money involved. California is 5th largest world economy, some of it is in the Bay and SF.
I'm not sold on the C7. I bought one, ran openwrt on it for a couple months and my children and their i-devices routinely swamped the wireless. I upgraded to a WRT3200ACM and am much happier with how it handles a large number of connections and I have no more issues. I think the C7 is a bit underpowered these days.

It's quite possible that the 'California wealthy' are a minority of transplants (say 20-40%), but that could still move real estate markets significantly. Looking at [1], it seems like the Portland housing market does about 20-40k sales per year. And it sounds like Portland has been growing by about 30-40k people per year (that is total, not just Californians). So if 25% of those folks are jumping into the real estate market, it can probably have a big impact on the supply/demand. Housing is pretty slow to respond to supply/demand imbalances so even a small imbalance can swing the market.

You often have the same data types on the server and the client for data exchange. When both sides use the same language, you only write these types once and it’s impossible for the client and server implementations to differ.

Not that I'm aware of. It's more a comment on how at some point the press overhypes some tech which then leads to an inevitable correction. Hopefully it's true value is appreciated afterwards but that's not a given.
This is actually possible (on Linux, at least, probably Mac/Windows too) with something like selinux. It ends up being a huge headache though, both because selinux is kinda hard to configure, and because you will get a constant barrage of requests.
But does that really work, or is it some cool story they sell the people buying ads? Especially for junk food, how would that work? You cannot make McDonald's more familiar with me. It's freaking McDonald's! And I'm not quite sure my opinion on them will change through ads.

But even if, doesn't this just bring you back to the original point of the blog post? Just advertise to everyone, no data mining and ML required. Best case, you do indeed change my mind about your brand, and the stereotypical junk food consumer sees the ad, suddenly feels hungry so hops into their pickup truck heading to the nearest McDonald's.
I think Courts will decide on that matter. The insurance company says some govts claim that these are actions perpetrated by Russia. If courts accept it, they have to decide do these come under the scope of "acts of war". Courts will ask that insurance company to provide more than a newspaper claims. So, they will ask for evidence whether Russia indeed committed these.
anecdotally the loudest "older people" are the kind who start and end every conversation with "Ugh, kids these days! Am I right?! Back in our day, bla, bla, bla..."

I'm curious that the information in this quote is characterized as "bla, bla, bla." When I see a politician mix up climate and weather, isn't it valuable for me to tell about how we had piles of compacted snow at the end of our driveway, we could literally tunnel rooms out of we could sit in? (Today, the same region is lucky if they have a white Christmas.) Why isn't that information useful and relevant?

When I see a programming community make the same mistakes other similar programming communities made in the past, isn't this useful information?

Your comment suggests that you have a bias, automatically assuming the experiences have no worth.

Not sure about this study but my experiences are similar to yours. I switched away from the hot showers completely about 2 months ago for three reasons.

I started getting itchy skin and no amount of moisturizer helped. Now I need very little moisturizer. I think is is a gain.

Cold water immersion also helped me with fidgety legs. I tried with simple 10 seconds of cold shower at the end of bath but then liked it and increased it to 10 minutes of immersion on good days.

After a stressful day at office, a cold shower helps with sleep.
A 300MB file isn't a preferences file, though.
Anyone know a decently priced router with 802.11ac and hardware encryption that can run OpenWRT? I currently have an TP-LINK Archer C7 with OpenWRT but VPN performance is abysmal. I don't know if my router has any hardware decryption (I would assume not) but if it does OpenWRT can't use it.
