The carnivore diet is getting pretty big, a lot of people have been on it for years. I think their theory is you don't need as much Vitamin C when you don't eat carbohydrates.

On the other hand there are carnivore Youtubers like sv3rige who drink vegetable juice but don't talk about it on their channel, so who knows if it's true or not: https://youtu.be/rQlvvbHqtj8?t=25
Yeah, there are multiple techniques that do this sort of thing. Photon Mapping and bidirectional path tracing are on ends of the spectrum

It's entirely possible for something to be both legal and rude. In some jurisdictions, passers-by (e.g. hikers) have right-of-way on private land, yet not saying "hello" to the farmer whose land you're on would still be rude, should you cross paths.
It's not like throwing something in the garbage makes it immediately stop existing.

"It goes in the recycle bin, it'll be gone for good in a couple weeks" is perfectly intuitive, even if database flags are confusing.
Sure, you could compute shadows with forward ray-tracing, but it's still generally more efficient to compute shadows with rays originating from the camera end of the path.

Of course, this all starts to get a little more complicated when trying to compute global illumination.
On a slightly related note, is the ‘4.9 acre’ a typo? How is it possible to build 2500 homes and infrastructure in 4.9 acre?

I’m not a mathematician, but the ELI30 version I got was that certain logical statements are labeled by certain number, such that doing arithmetic with those numbers corresponds to basic logical operations. So true statements about the number labels equal equivalent statements about the logical statements labeled by those numbers. So like, if 1 represents some logical statement and 2 represents some logical statement, and 3 represents another, then 1+2=3 is the same as saying that the two logical statements labeled by 1 and 2, when combined, produce the logical statement labeled by 3.

This idea is called Gödel numbering, and Wikipedia says “In formal number theory a Gödel numbering is a function which assigns to each symbol and formula of some formal language a unique natural number called a Gödel number (GN). ... A Gödel numbering can be interpreted as an encoding where a number is assigned to each symbol of a mathematical notation, and a stream of natural numbers can then represent some form or function.” That seems to sort of gel with what I heard, although it implies that maybe arthimetic operations like +, or -, aren’t actually involved. It might be more like 1 is a statement, and 2 is a statement, such that 12 is a combination of those two statements.

The point is that then you encode “this statement is not proveable” into numbers and show that you get a numerical contradiction (like 1=3 or something).
Yup, DHH is pretty good about. He'd been on my podcast to talk about it among other things (https://www.raddadshow.com/episode/david-heinemeier-hansson) and it sounds like he actually took a bit of time and effort to reflect on his own journey to figure out what is important to him, why, and how to make space for those things. He talks a lot about stoic philosophy too, if you want to hear more from DHH. Great guy.
Not sure how you're applying those theoretical stuff to the current Indian government. As a common middle class grounded Indian, I'm pretty much free to criticize the government, curse them and even vote them out(which happened in recent state elections). That doesn't look quite fascist to me.
I was just going to say, today's internet will route around the damage.
Their openness is the reason why I’m a customer.

My main concern with this type of services is, are they just reselling S3 and hoping people will never use their quota (something I don’t see as sustainable business model).
I was in a similar situation as you and had the same thought about applying for internships. I had a non-CS background, was a couple years out of school, doing work that barely qualified as software development in a mediocre environment. I felt stuck and was jealous of friends still in school who seemingly breezed into Facebook and Google internships (etc.) which I wasn't even allowed to apply for. Meanwhile, trying to apply full-time to any top companies would result in automated rejection.

There is a well-oiled machine for scooping up thousands of talented CS students and funneling them into positions at top companies, but if you are on a slightly different path it is easy to be overlooked by the recruiting machine.

What eventually worked for me was continuously trying to get into companies that were better than where I was, while working hard enough that I learned lots and impressed the people I worked with. It didn't take as many steps as I thought it would to get to Google/Facebook level, and overall it was faster and probably more interesting than going back for a CS degree.
Remote work management, the never ending story
> I wonder if the fact that serial anything criminals exist at all indicates that the criminal justice system might be broken?

I'm a serial jay walker. I'm not sure that's evidence of the crumbling of western civilization.

I don't think the law should aim to eliminate all crime. In my opinion, there are systemic limits to how efficient law enforcement can me: clamp down too hard on type 2 errors, and type 1 errors rear their ugly heads.

Which isn't to say that what we've got is the best that can be.
Skype too. Skype stores your voice mails and video messages forever[1]. I’m not sure about text messages, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they store all messages even if both the sender and recipient deleted them.

[1] Details: Clicking on Preferences -> Privacy -> Delete history (OS X), or Options -> Privacy Settings -> Clear history (Windows) pretends to delete the voice/video messages but it merely hides them from your view. If you re-install Skype on the same computer or run Skype on a different computer, all those "deleted" voice mails and video messages re-appear. The delete and clear buttons don’t do what they claim.
Yeah, google might do it technically smart.

But the user experience is extra poor, because they do not honor the Accept-Language header, but insist to use the local language of your public IP address. When travelling that can often be a language you don't understand. And when travelling you often get an extra security step, because they haven't seen you in that country before. Extra painful in a language you don't understand.

Disclaimer: I use Cookie Autodelete and Firefox containers. So they get a bit less info about me than about the average user. But ignoring Accept-Language makes no sense to me. Pretty unlikely the user does not understand the language of the browser but the local language of the IP address.
Argentina Settles Export Deal with Paraguay Using Bitcoin
Holy shit, wikipedia says it handles transients of up to 19 GW. They don't say for how long, but the transient control rod actuators take a quarter second to cover their full range, so I'm guessing that means 19 GW for up to a quarter second. That's about 4.5 gigajoules. As it happens, that's roughly the explosive energy of 1 ton of TNT. From a reactor core the size of a small closet. Makes me wonder, in fascinated terror, what power output we're seeing in that video.

Wikipedia says it can simulate six different reactor loop types. This is a seriously impressive facility.

I was thinking more about performance than space. If you hit the disk for every recursive call (not sure if it is the case, I can't read COBOL) the performance is probably going to be terrible even if the files are memory mapped. Optimized tail recursion would avoid most of that.
> I worked as an Inferno developer.

Ah man, that's really cool.

So what's your favorite operating system? Is there one you find ideal or do you like different ones for their different trade-offs? What do you wish was the most widely used OS in the world?

I ask these questions thinking of the OS foundations and ignoring that OSes like Plan9 and Inferno are lacking many things only found in more popular OSes by virtue of being popular.
I agree. This is even more true in countries other than the US, so ironically, places far away from the unicorn bubble.

I travel a lot internationally, and in so many countries I have been able to just get out of the airport, open my app, and hop on a ride—it's fascinating and amazing what a revolution it has been in barely 5 or so years.
The point of the article is that they're all fast (except DDG). It doesn't matter if the field is perfectly level, it matters that all these extensions should be able to keep working programmatically.

I may be mistaken, but I don't think there's dairy in the carnivore diet. Just meat, organs, and maybe bone marrow? Also, I'm not sure why you would think that burger buns and potato chips are so irresistible as to doubt people don't eat those things?
This is something I see startups miss a lot and I'm sometimes surprised they are able to get good interns. Usually by the end of October and especially by the end of November most good students already have an internship lined up at some big company and I see startups that I would consider pretty high caliber recruiting interns in February.
Minecraft is the easiest to mod of those by far.
Highlight and middle click is the X11 primary selection. In my experience Firefox (and Emacs) do not always play well.
Welp. Certainly the zillions of sites relying on Facebook authentication would be a serious issue. Clearly there would have to be some type of winding down period, as a cold turkey cut off would be massive on scale.
Not sure what you mean. If we're taking the perspective that I actually believe Jesus' way can help OP, then wouldn't it be more selfish to keep quiet?
> Chrome devs are now playing nicely and get feedback and propose some improvements to the APIs but there is no warranty this will happen again, or that they will invest time/energy in the future improving this part of the browser.

I think this is especially true. It is somewhat similar to many other Google products like Maps and Translate. They start as a good free product, but as soon as they gain enough traction the rules change.
I think once this declarative Api is the standard for ad blockers in browsers Google will start exercising its control over it for its own benefit.
Ghostery does not support custom external lists, which is why it is useless
Which is at least more favourable to the customer than Easyjet's approach which is to tack a £16 ( $20 ) 'administration fee' onto each booking regardless of how one pays.

I don't have any love for Ryanair but recently booked with them because the ticket cost less than Easyjet's fixed fee.
I agree with the many points but it's worth noting that login forms are made for humans to identify themselves with a service and all his suggestions are designed to make it as easy as possible for a bot/machine to identify as the human. There is always another side to the story and whilst password managers are one type of machine for which this becomes useful, it's not the only one.

Ask HN: How to contact Google to fix my ISP?
So my ISP is Railwire and it has fiber optic network. It assigns me a dynamic IP but then Google tells me that you are sending automated requests/unusual traffic please fill captchas, I fill around 50 captchas in row but it keeps getting triggered

There are no malware/bots running on my network. I used wireshark to check everything.

Who can fix this thing? ISP told me to use Bing instead but it's not just search engine that is affected but every page on which recaptcha exists.

So how can I contact ReCaptcha team?

I am tired of filling captchas on every site, I fill 50 times before I am allowed to submit the form.

My IP is: 112.133.246.127

Funny thing is that, my ISP doesnt even have IPv6 support.

I guess they share limited IPv4 among all customers.
agreed. But the majority here define the "acceptable" opinions, not the individual.

Also, I've had climate-skeptic comments upvoted and culture-war comments downvoted in contradiction to the dominant narrative here, so it does seem to be post-by-post rather than site-wide chambering.
The theory of UI libraries is that users can take their knowledge between applications. When you start using a new app, you already know mostly how it will behave, because it shares the UI vocabulary with other apps.

The web has been terribly violent to this idea. Native UIs are expected to support keyboard navigation, keyboard shortcuts, a menu bar, type select, drag and drop, accessibility, scripting... And in any given interaction there are advanced modes: multiple selection, modifier keys, etc.

Hardly any of this works on the web; even if it did you wouldn't think to try it. Does type select works in GMail's custom context menu? Can you command-C copy a message in one folder, and paste it in another? Would it even occur to you to try those things?

That stuff is ancient I know, and it would be one thing if the web were pioneering new UI vocabulary that displaced the old. But it's not. There's nothing new that has taken hold, no replacement for what is lost. Gmail has its janky, app-specific keyboard shortcuts, which is at least something, but there's no mechanism for it to spread.

We're in a Dark Age. Every web page now has its own custom CSS-style menu that only supports the most basic hover-and-click, and the bar for good UI is just lying on the floor.
I'm not advocating for either of those extremes. To remind, in this thread, we were talking about UI aesthetics of the times when Delphi was popular. That's Windows 9x and NT, classic MacOS 7.x to 9.x, BeOS; and on Unix: Motif, NeXTSTEP, Gtk 1.x, Qt 1.x to 2.x.

So, basically, buttons are chiseled gray (or other color of user's choice), with prominent 3D borders, but flat where the label is for maximum readability. Just enough to capture the essence of a physical button, but without actually rendering one.
Yeah I find it hard to believe anyone eats literally 100% meat no exceptions.

I’ll bet $1000 Jordan Pederson is full of shit when he claims he eats nothing but cooked beef.
Actually it can handle the email part also. You just have to add the site URL to Site Preferences in the extension's settings and enable Username-only detection. It's a necessary extra step so the credentials wouldn't be filled to search fields or to other single input fields. It's quite hard to detect if an input field is actually a username field.
Adding another factor of 100 with something as cheap as sand still seems worthwhile.

It's more "there was never a time where the draw of youtube was that it wouldn't censor". The draw was simply that it hosted videos.
>We don't get to criticize people we don't know? Then we can't criticize or discuss anything.

Not what I'm saying, I'm speaking specifically to my opinion about this story.

>If you don't want to criticize, then you shouldn't. But what's with the "we"? Why do you think you should get to decide what "we" should or shouldn't criticize?

"we" are part of HN as loose a collection of individuals as that is, it's me and you and everyone else here. I don't get to decide what we should or shouldn't criticize. But I do get to say how I feel about that criticism with my opinion and if that resonates with other people then so be it.

>If you disagreed with a criticism, then you should respond to that or ignore it. Why try to force your "morality" on everyone else? Why try to stifle other people's voice?

That's your morality not mine. I did respond, I just didn't do it in a reply to to a specific comment.

>Personally, my parents kept my grandfather's illness from me. I didn't find out my grandfather was ill or dying until his funeral. That's right. I found out my grandfather died at his funeral. I didn't agree with my parents' decision and I don't agree this person's decision.

Shit man, that sounds really hard, I have no clue what that must be like. I'm really sorry that it went down that way for you and your family.

I'm not the morality police. I just.... think sometimes we forget there is someone looking into the screen on the other side of this comment who might feel shitty because of what we said.

Edit: Usually it doesn't matter but as I left a counter comment I wanted to let you know I didn't downvote you. I didn't feel it would be appropriate given the topic of our conversation.
I was also surprised by how harsh the comments are, but I suppose it mirrors the harshness of the academic world.
I like Taleb too, but looking at what has happened to software, what does it mean to have a PhD in computer science? Or even an MD for that matter, judging by the drive-by prescribing most doctors do.

The older I get, the more I understand why red-state bubba hates most accredited "professionals".
Cool. I really like the idea of these things in principle. But how well is 6 months of content going to scale when you have 1 million active communities?

Another thing that stood out to me is when I went to download, I noticed immediately I'm dealing with a DMG. So I tried to find a link to github where I could take a look at the source, and found the "Open source" link in the footer. This just listed a bunch of libraries, but not the place to build myself if I wanted to. Maybe include a link to github [1].

Finally, when I did reach your github, there is a big notice:

> https://github.com/nehbit/aether

What kind of metrics? And why isn't this in big text on your homepage? Can I disable it? Why do you need to keep metrics? 99 times out of 100 people will not be able to correctly anonymise metrics. I think this is a pretty a bad decision.

I think a few years ago, when all their robots kept dying, I suggested just using a big stick, possibly with mirrors, to look inside.

As a European atheist, I’ve never experienced any form of discrimination neither in my native lands nor in the United States, but the mere prospect of it in the latter somehow never fails to send an ominous shudder down my spine.
I have to say, I have never thought of it this way but it seems so common sense. Every deal has a cost associated with it of course but if only a certain subsection of people can appreciate that deal (see: non low income earners), then those who can't will eventually end up paying for it. The most egregious example would be over the top ceo bonuses. I always thought that the major problem with the unbanked or this who didn't have access to lines of credit were that they didn't have as much upward mobility but now I can see they're actively being made poorer with essentially accelerated inflation of the prices of everyday goods. I wonder if other services like Amazon Prime have a similar effect.
I know it's a bit of a fashion here to bash Google but so many Google products still 'spark joy' in my life. Maps, GMail Search, Photos, Translate, Speech Recognition etc.
Dairy is optional on the carnivore diet, some believe it is better without as it can be another source of allergens. Others are less dogmatic and see no issue with it. Lastly, some recommend to go without for some time like a month or so and then reintroduce to see how you do. In this way the carnivore diet can be used an elimination diet to discover allergens.

How are car-to-grid schemes any more unproven than next Gen reactors? You're not helping the side of science with untested hypotheses like that.

But my main point is realpolitik, or like you say "the way our political system operates." We have a political system that has evolved to handle issues in what we think is the least bad way (worst system except for all the others). Is nuclear in its blind spot, or would untested science-ocracy lead to worse outcomes?
Did you do any blood tests before and are planning on doing some in the near future? I'd be really interested in hearing how they compare. Three months also might not be enough time to develop any serious deficiencies.

Weight loss isn't a really good metric. I also lost a similar amount of weight in the first few months of going vegan. Around 40 pounds after half a year and I feel great. My blood tests came back more than great even after 3 years now.
It doesn't. Eye fatigue is caused by being focused on the same depth for prolonged periods of time. That fixed depth being slightly closer or further away changes very little.

Having a habit of regularly looking away from your monitor and focusing on a distant object negates it. When doing prolonged microscopy work, we were trained to take a break every 30 min and focus on something very close, then focus on something far, back and forth, several times.
