I suspect it's the result of adding iron to flour. For many peopel it irritates their gut and may have a whoel host of negative effects. There is no reason why it should be neccessary to add it into all food, it made flour based products basically toxic, since the body has no way to get rid of iron. Eating grains never had any negative effects before this "fortification" began.

You seem to be vacillating between "printing" and "movable type". The link between the Renaissance and printing is uncontroversial.
What freedom has been lost? You're free to build what you want and others are free to use it by the license you set.

Forcing contribution would actually remove freedom.
I've had too many terrible experiences having to maintain and work with buggy and poorly designed Node/Typescript packages. I'm especially thinking of the terrible choice of ORMs available for Node, Typescript in particular. TypeORM seems the de-facto standard and my experiences with it have been horrific. It looks like Hibernate but works like a dumpster fire. There isn't anything as robust as ORMs like EF or Hibernate for Node.
I feel that the shortcomings of the NPM community have been pointed out one too many times, but on too many occasions I've felt that development of a product was made much harder by the choices of poorly developed frameworks as dependencies.
This is mostly urban legend. You have to really get ridiculous to apply too much thermal paste but you can use too little, so no reason to err in that direction in mass manufacturing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUWVVTY63hc
60's and 70's IBM was a tour de force. They're one of the first companies to realize that Design is an integral part of business and Design is not decoration. This was a top-down push, IBM was blessed by Eliot Noyes [1] the executive who had an architecture degree from Harvard Graduate School of Design. IBM proved to the world that everything from corporate logo (designed by Paul Rand) to their product design, stationary, building design, ... everything needs to feel uniform and part of the same company.

IBM System 360 was a pinnacle of design, brainchild of Eliot Noyes along with many other products from IBM.

Ask HN: My friend is a founder of a blockchain startup. I'm skeptical. What now?
Hey HN! I would like to ask you guys for some advice. Up until recently, I was vaguely aware of one of my friends being involved in some side business. Just yesterday, I found out that the business - a startup - was going to use blockchains for whatever reason. Not only that, he is the founder of said startup! His team has received some investment and has conducted a blockchain workshop or two, and they seem to have no signs of stopping.

Now, I know that there are probably blockchain and cryptocurrency advocates among the HN crowd. That being said, I am skeptical about him running a startup that focuses solely on blockchains. The problems he wants to address (e.g. fraud prevention in charity money transactions) could be easily solved using conventional databases with basic security measures. While I laud my friend for embarking on this venture, I can't help but feel as if this will lead nowhere. His team is basing their tech stack off an open source blockchain developed for a Chinese cryptocurrency, though they are not in charge of it directly - they have an IT team for that.

Both of us are still university students. I have no intention of discouraging him, but at the same time, I would like to nudge him in the right direction. Feel free to ask any questions, but please note that I won't bring up any names unless absolutely necessary. I would really like to hear your take on this.

Thanks!
I just tried it again on Android 9 (Pie), and as you say, it's definitely crappier if you're using AM/PM (my local settings have it on 24 hour time display), since there's an extra tap required for AM/PM and one could miss it and set an alarm for 6 PM instead of 6 AM. This may be more intuitive to someone used to a 12 hour locale.

That being said, in the alarm clock dialog, if you add a new alarm, there's a button that allows the user to type in the time using a keyboard (there's a keyboard icon to the bottom left), the first tap allows you to select the hour (shows both 0-12 and 13-23 if the locale is set to 24 hour clock), another tap will select the minute. If you're on 12 hour clock, you may need to change between AM/PM by tapping it. Tapping either the minute or the hour will allow changing that value.

Other than having the 5 minute snap on tap (as TFA points out, who really wants an alarm at 6:01 or 5:59?), it seems as if it allows all possible interactions, where the user can pick whatever input modality they want.
Lions and Hyenas would leave huge piles of bones in the middle of the dessert which had been picked clean by vultures.

One of our ancestors had the brilliant idea to use a rock to bust open the bones.

Wait - I thought hyenas were specifically bone-busting / eating:

"Spotted hyenas are some of Africa's most proficient predators. A frenzied scrum of them can dismantle and devour a 400-pound zebra in 25 minutes. An adult spotted hyena can tear off and swallow 30 or 40 pounds of meat per feeding. Latecomers to a kill use their massive jaw muscles and molars to pulverize the bones for minerals and fatty marrow. Hair and hooves get regurgitated later. "The only thing left is a patch of blood on the ground," says Holekamp." [1]

Seems like a convention of standard set of plugins and configuration.

I am very interested, seems like it has good defaults for having an IDE-like experience on vim but was not able to find a nice video tutorial explaining it.

Definitely gonna try it later.
The maximum thickness of the paste layer is determined wholly by the clamping pressure and coplanarity of the thermal interface. You can only end up with an excess of paste between the CPU and heatsink if a) the heatsink contact plate or CPU package aren't flat or b) the clamping mechanism isn't properly pressing them together.

Apply too much thermal paste and it'll just squeeze out of the edges, which is merely inconvenient as long as the paste is reasonably non-conductive. Apply too little paste and you'll get air gaps, which have terrible thermal conductivity. If in doubt, just spread the paste to ensure that it fully covers the contact area.

Or you could draw the arrow of causality slightly differently and say that life kind of sucks for people who didn't listen to the teacher in high school and didn't do their homework. Which, at least in my case, is supported by reams of evidence. It wasn't because they were poor (I grew up in the USSR, so everyone was poor), it was because they didn't give a shit.

>>the result of political capture, tent seeking, and regulatory capture, by the ultra-rich?

You can't defeat that by trying to reduce the wealth of the rich. There will always super rich people outside your jurisdiction who you can't tax and who can exert influence, and super rich people in your jurisdiction who evade your taxing authorities through legal means and secrecy, or simply because your taxes are not high enough to prevent them from acquiring massively more wealth than the average person.

Trying to reduce the influence of money on politics by reducing large concentrations of wealth is like trying to stop a boat from sinking by boiling the ocean away. The solution is to plug the holes in the boat's hull, which means closing the avenues through which money affects the electoral and political process, not to destroy the wealth generation process by repealing the reward for creating wealth.

>>What if the super rich form an anticompetitive cartel? what if their very existence will inevitably mean that who you know will matter more than your skills, your hard work, and good ideas?

Fortunately that's not how the world works. The rich are far too numerous to create any kind of sustainable pact. They compete fiercely with each other in the market, which is why wages have grown 20 fold over the last 200 years, and grown faster globally over the last 20 years than in any time in history.

The exception to this is politically coordinated government intervention like the kind that emanates from regulatory capture, which undermines contract liberty and the ability that provides to reject or defect from a pact.
Also, what was going on with the tactile feedback on the N9? Pressing the virtual keys felt almost real. I've not touched anything similar since then.

That resonates well with me. Unlike in my childhood, playing and replaying JRPGs in my late 20s felt like such a chore, and the often pastiche storytelling felt so distant, that I actually thought that I outgrew games in general up into my early 30s. In reality, it was just JRPGs that I outgrew, but me erroneously thinking that they would be "reference points" of good games led to wrong conclusions.

I got over it with newer games, and nowadays my Switch gets a lot of use.

Another thing that I realized, maybe related through my acceptance of not liking JRPGs very much anymore, was that I also actually just don't enjoy NES era games. I think I did at the time, but nowadays they are just too simple in structure, and too "arcade-y" in gameplay. Even allowing for the fact that I'm probably getting too old to be any good at that kind of "twitchy" games, I'm pretty sure that even if I was any good, the payout would still be disappointing. I think it's around the SNES-era that games get potentially interesting for me.

There are some exceptions like Link's Awakening on the Game Boy, but that always felt much more like an SNES-era game, and in fact it came out a year after SNES's A Link to the Past, and shares the almost same gameplay. I'm looking forward to the Switch remake coming out this year.
Pulling off the bottom plate once you've removed the screws. It's not essential, but it obviates the risk of damaging the case with a spudger or other prying tool.
The translation of deficiencies into food cravings has always fascinated me. People with pica, for example, often compulsively eat non-foods that are in fact related to a deficiency they have. Anemics sometimes crave dirt (which does contain iron).

If one were to judge by the title, the commissioner and I are in excellent agreement over the gist of Facebook's character. The reasons may be different though. As much as I enjoy seeing people actually reacting to the atrocity rather than buying the vacuous spin about mistakes for what seems like the thousandth time, not censoring the communications they're parasitizing harshly enough is actually not a thing I'm willing to hold against FB.
I have learned how to read an analog clock at young age, since that's all we had - even wristwatches were a luxury. But it's still much easier to set the alarm on a digital clock.
Cool! I left my homerolled vim config for spacemacs a little over a year ago. I'm glad to see a similar project for the vim community.

It looks really nice. I'll probably never leave emacs now since I've come to love lisp, but I have co-workers ask me all the time about my editor setup who are not into giving emacs a try. Maybe they'll like this!
Benchmarking Python bytecode vs. interpreter speed and bazaar vs. Git
Now the non-strawman version: it's a 5 gallon job, vanilla React.js is already a 10 gallon bucket, and typescript comes in buckets up to 100 gallons.

It's often a matter of how much you think the job is likely to expand, how much you should frontload work to make that simple.
govt can't even regular what it's supposed to regulate, how's it going to do this... or is that the joke?
I think there's a noticeable fundamental difference, in that humans have a natural walking pace. It's physically uncomfortable to slow your pace too much. They do both have the mental discomfort of being forced by a stranger to wait behind them, breathing down their neck.

On the other side, a slow walker often is walking slow because they naturally walk slowly. A slow driver often is driving slow because they decided they wanted to drive slow. (Or in either case, they're slow because they are distracted.)
I believe it’s just Vim with lots of plugins and sane defaults
Slot machines pull in a lot of money too, I guess you would label them a success?
> I certainly didn't see the benefit... up until I started experiencing some really annoying stuff. Things like builds not failing when they should, buggy code and typos finding their way into production code somehow started to get to me

It's hard for me to understand how anyone can't see the benefit of types at compile time. I mean if you write more than 100 LOC you are bound to make a mistake that a typing system would catch and think "I wonder if there is a way the my build process could catch such as silly error". I can only imagine that such programmers are "write only" in that they add lots of features but rarely need to come back and maintain their code. With an ide with autocomplete it may mitigate some mistakes and give a false sense of security about non-static typing.
The trailer is unbreaked? That seems rather dangerous!
The homepage:

>SpaceVim - Modern Vim distribution
SpaceVim is a distribution of the Vim editor that’s inspired by spacemacs. It manages collections of plugins in layers, which help collecting related packages together to provide features. For example, the python layer collects deoplete.nvim, neomake and jedi-vim together to provide autocompletion, syntax checking, and documentation lookup. This approach helps keeping configuration organized and reduces overhead for the user by keeping them from having to think about what packages to install.
They often don't bother - the cost of sending a representative is frequently greater than the cost of paying the judgement.

Anyone interested in the seaboard should check out the continuum fingerboard.

https://www.hakenaudio.com/

As a player of both i can attest the continuum takes many of these ideas farther, and encourages uniquely expressive playing as a result.

The design is electrically really interesting as well, it leveraged high precision pressure sensing (hall efect sensors) to construct a much higher x axis resolution than the number of physical sensors. Because a finger always depresses at least three mechanical bars concurrently, the software can draw a parabola through that and calculate the location of the fingertip extremely accurately.
I'm just jumping into TypeScript after a decent break from production coding. Prior to this break it was Rails, well before that Java.

In my own Hades moment -- Microsoft know how to build great developer tools. The developer ergonomics of TypeScript and Visual Studio Code are excellent. It's really quite surprising to see how far the JavaScript world has come.

Similarly, the DevOps world is becoming much (much) more JavaScript friendly. Serverless, Netlify, and things like AWS Amplify -- all with their foibles, but pushing JavaScript in meaningful ways. I don't think this is the case for many other languages/ecosystems.
If Toyota acted in "bad-faith" by suing a third party (say Nissan) then Tesla could act to revoke their patent licenses to Toyota.

Once they had done so, it would be a standard patent infringement lawsuit between Tesla and Toyota.

This could be one path where you could enforce good-faith, IMHO IANAL.
Breaking down whole chickens with all bones and connective tissues is one of the areas where a good pressure cooker really shines. I like to make big piles of chicken and beef stock using a pressure cooker, then reducing it on the stovetop. I freeze most of it, and reduce some of the beef stock much further down to demi glacé, freeze it in ice cube trays and use it for sauces and soups.

I think when you are starting some new concept, that you are learning as you go you need to just try to do your best of throwing stuff on the wall to get it to work, refactor a lot and keep grinding away. During this time you are building the "Big picture" of what it is.

Once you get a good enough big picture then you probably will start to realize where how to optimize the data and create better methods, but even there it still never stops, you now know the system, and can figure out what you need from the technology to construct a better platform.

The databases I've worked with for over 20 years have evolved as I have added more functionality, I have been able to identify where the priorities were as well as how to make it function more dynamically. I didn't really get the big picture for a decade as they were sill doing part of it analog and only requested (revealed to me) more functionality as the system grew more capable.

You may think you know it all now, but I would think there's still a lot more road to be covered after only three years.
Depending on what it is you're doing, I feel that .net and Java are far superior choices. Obviously these are pretty heavy languages, so obviously decide for yourself whether the size of your app justifies using a language like this.
My thoughts run along the lines of: "If people are justifying using Typescript because their projects are large and critical, they're probably large and critical enough to use a language designed for enterprise-scale development."
I personally haven't used Go, but I've heard good things about its use in this domain too.

Where is ther a place on this planet that doesn't have a pecking order? Yes, engineers that are deemed to be more capable (whether they are or not) or experienced and/or are in the good graces of the organization's leaders get offered better choices than those who are not. If you're lucky, said leaders are themselves competent in identifying capable people and the organization prospers.

If you want better choices by an honest route, demonstrate that you're more capable than your colleagues who also want those opportunities, express your interest to your management chain and ask for their guidance in helping get them[1], and make sure you're well enough respected and liked by your colleagues that you won't be shot down when you're under consideration.

[1] And if your manager(s) aren't helping in this regard, transfer to another manager or find a new job.

I'm not super well versed frankly but my attempt:

They're both control planes for envoy proxy. App Mesh is a managed proprietary solution, Istio is open source and self-hosted but there are managed options available. Istio explicitly supports k8s and consul; app mesh doesn't care where the envoy proxies run (great for migrating).

I _think_ Istio is a full knowledge model where everyone knows about everyone else in the mesh, App Mesh is explicit. The configuration pushed to the proxies only have the targets that have been modeled as such in the app mesh model (great for larger organizations).

No, they don't. And social workers and welfare officials that I know do tell stories like this - about the parents of children now in state care. Infants don't get left with mothers who refuse to nurse or hold them. Children who are found to be suffering from such severe neglect that they are developmentally delayed don't get left with those parents. I have no doubt you believe what you're saying, and I have no doubt that you are misinformed.
