Is there room for the people living in Bir Tawil to establish their own government and call what they're living on a sovereign nation?
Neat, definitely something I would want to give a try.

I see though that it only supports pure python for building packages, does that mean that it doesn't build if you are dependent on compiled libraries?

Is there also a plan to add some of the functionality of bundling tools such as web-pack into this build phase? like automated css optimization, image compression... Could be handy for some django/flask projects.
I've addressed that nuance in other comments in this subthread. My statements are accurate no matter how you define a "user".

Additionally, Tumblr started requiring a logged-in account to view adult content some time before the ban (something like 9 months before it iirc).

Furthermore, GP specifically said "forced off the platform", "go to Tumblr", etc which strongly implies people with accounts / using the site's dashboard feed which requires an account (as opposed to visiting specific blog subdomains directly as a logged-out user).

I really don't understand the implicit distrust of my direct first-hand experience here. The amount of gaslighting in this thread is profoundly disturbing.

It might be net negative ironically - increased accidental death but exercise being good for their health compared to sitting there answering the phone or driving.
One of the reasons why I sometimes don't like the term "tech debt" is because you can take it on without knowing it. This is not true for financial debt. When you borrow money, even if you're not tracking it, the lender is 100% tracking the debt.

If you are in a team that discourages upgrading build systems, code reviews, code quality, testing etc there isn't really anyone that can point to instances where tech debt was accrued or how much there is.

Hey, thanks for the question. Haven't really thought about monetization yet. Want to focus on building the best desktop experience for online communities. Would love to be able to focus on it full time at some point (would be a dream). Maybe will introduce some paid features in the future, but everything in this version will always stay free.
Sure, but "nuance" and "context" is not what Google is trying to optimize for. They are going for the "instant fact check" audience, like the sidekick gophers on podcasts who look stuff up while the main host and their guest warbles on.

Most of the US didn't even vote for Trump, so I doubt most of the US believes the Trump camp line that the press fabricated poll and vote data in order to "rig the election." An inability to predict the future is not evidence of fraud.

And believing the press and authorities constantly lie about everything, even small details - things which they would have no practical reason to lie about - is going well past practical skepticism. You're not even accusing the media of getting details wrong here, or failing to properly research, but constant, pathological, willful malice.

That level of extremist paranoia might be fine for T_D or 4chan, and it's uncomfortably common here, but most of the US actually doesn't agree with you in this case.
Well said.

Ben Carson during last election demonstrated this clearly, top in his medical field, but was not well informed on matters of politics and economics. Even though he is the head of HUD now, at least he seemed humble enough to know his limits at the time.
Notify HR of your desired paternity period and tell them it was offered by the CEO. If they say anything but yes, forward their response to the CEO and ask about why HR is unaware of the "wonderful" paternity policy offered to you in the interview.

Ask HN: Best Mouse for Avoiding RSI
Over the past few weeks I noticed that my hands, usually my knuckles, were beginning to be sore at the end of the day. It got quite bad after a week or so, and I ditched the macbook trackpad/keyboard and replaced with a microsoft sculpt keyboard and a generic logitech mouse.

The keyboard has definitely helped, but my mouse hand is still a little sore, particularly in the trigger finger. What style of mouse do you find effective for avoiding this kind of stress? I looked at eye-tracking software as an alternative to a mouse, but it seems surprisingly immature and unsupported on OSX.

ICBMs require significant infrastructure, for storage, fueling, and launch. Once in the air, their targets are known quickly and intercepts are difficult but possible. (Airspeed is their only defense.)

Cruise missiles require much less pre-launch facilities, and once in the air, fly very low altitude trajectories, at speeds similar to aircraft. Small size, GPS steerable trajectories, low altitude all make them very hard to detect. Defense of fixed targets would require large radius flat clear areas with radar controlled AA guns (think Phalanx etc). Nuclear propulsion means extreme range / flight time and multiplies the threat profile per missile in inventory.
This is a really hard thing to do well. It's generally challenging to target a group of people by their identity.

Yes, it gets done all the time. It also runs into a lot of issues. Sometimes, people even sue for discrimination.

That doesn't mean it should never be done. I'm just saying this is a space that really takes a lot of savvy and effort to do well. Expect to really need to work at PR, positioning, messaging, moderation and similar.

It's generally better to try to attract people based on mutual interests. Support groups, where the idea is that we all have some personal burden in common and this is where everyone will feel welcomed, tend to become very negative spaces where everyone is free to kvetch all day but no one can offer any constructive feedback lest they be accused of victim blaming.

It's usually better to position it in a more goal-oriented fashion.

So, for example, a community for diabetics will probably be a sad sac experience where everyone whines about how terrible their life is. But a community for people making their own artificial pancreas to deal with diabetes will probably be a whole other ballgame.

Think about what kind of social climate you want to foster. There's a lot of bad examples out there of communities that, say, positioned themselves as free speech havens and quickly became notorious gathering spaces for pedophiles and white supremacists.

This is not intended as a put down or discouragement. These are observations from someone with a lot of experience pertinent to this problem space.

Best of luck.

A similar surprisingly novel case for AR headsets: trimmming hedges into complex shapes.

In an AR headset the final desired design is overlayed within the hedge, and you trim the parts outside. Now try to imagine how you might accomplish something similar without an AR headset. It would be very difficult.
True to some extent. But America used to have standards, at least.

Right, but the Islamists are in the minority of Muslims just as fundamentalist Christians are in the minority among Christians. To hate all Christians for the actions of a minority of misguided ones is silly. Same with Muslims.
Yes, if you "peek" at the results of an A/B test before it's done in order to decide whether to stop early, the numbers you "peeked" at have much lower statistical power than if you foreswore stopping early. Obviously, failing to take that into account when drawing conclusions about the effectiveness of the treatment is a colossal mistake.

However, the decrease in statistical power is still quantifiable, and with the right math you can still calculate an accurate 95% confidence interval on the effect size (which will be much wider than the wrong math where you naively don't account for the "peeking"). And of course, it's totally possible that the treatment is so effective that even the accurate calculation shows that the lower bound on the effect size is so much higher than the control group that the responsible thing to do is to stop the trial early.

Here's some the math on how much lower the statistical power is if you "peek": https://www.evanmiller.org/bayesian-ab-testing.html

I think I'm your target market. But this isn't the thing I expected.

I have like half of the issues on the list of topical chatrooms, and I like finding new communities of cool people. But I don't want to sit in a room full of people who self-select around that locus. From a literal standpoint, ADHD, anxiety, etc are "mental illnesses", but apart from diagnostic and self-care optimizations, I don't find it productive to think of myself in those terms.

I'm not excited to jump in a room of people talking about being sick. The support I want is in the form of fascinating and electric co-conspirators, and that's not a specific support I need because I'm a specific kind of ailing. That's just the support that humans need.

I'm not "unusual" because I have anxiety and anxiety is weird. Anxiety is normie as fuck. I'm weird because my specific flavor of brokenness tweaked my trajectory in a way that, compounded over 30 years, is fairly off the beaten path. I wanna talk to and about people like that.

It's why I'm on HN. There are so many blindingly smart people on here, and the baseline quality of takes is way above most other places.

At a potential performance penalty and significant extra attack surface (you now have to worry about your hypervisor’s attack surface and your actual OS’ attack surface, where as on bare metal you only have a single OS to worry about). Not to downplay the advantages of virtualisation, but if all you needed was a bare metal server then running a hypervisor adds one extra thing that can go wrong that you didn’t ask for.

This is like the trolley problem of software licensing:

Scenario 1: Product has 3 features at x Price. New license is created with 4 features at price x+y

Scenario 2: Product has 3 features at x+y Price. Slimmed down license is created for a product 3 features at x price.

People applaud the former order, and cringe at the latter, but (at least in this artificial description, after the second option is available, the scenarios are equivalent. But something about loss aversion seems to trigger a moral sentiment.
It's a huge problem with the current SPA trend. Sites are re-implementing all sorts of basic functionality like scrolling, links, and form inputs and invariably do a myopic job of it where they only implement basic functions or ones that the developer personally uses.

There are so many sites now where you can't Ctrl-click, middle-click or right-click links and get proper behavior, where inputs don't work the way they should, where sites try to hijack keyboard shortcuts (and of course assume everyone's using the default ones), where scrolling with the keyboard messes up layouts because they assume you're going to gradually scroll down with a mouse or swipe, where browser extensions can't affect element types because everything is just a <div>, etc.

It's a gigantic pain in the ass for consistent usability across sites, and a complete disaster for accessibility as well.
Is it worth the while when you have to spend more than weeks to do it right later? Again, in general it is not. You are citing a very, very specific business reason as a justification. In 99% of all cases, no good business reason exists to waste more money later. Essentially, this is what you are asking. In your example, it's either 8 weeks total to do it right in the first pass or 10+x weeks total to do it right later when you have the still unquantified extra overhead of not breaking stuff that has been built around the insufficient solution.
Good question. I didn't say it was a smart way to write.

It's pretty close.

Nothing is totally risk free, but compared to most medical procedures--and most activities of daily living--MRIs are a walk in the park. For a subject with no implanted devices, I would bet the drive to the scan center is much more dangerous. I just flipped through MAUDE (https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfMAUDE/d...) and I couldn't find any adverse events that were more severe than a small burn or blister.

I'd really love to see a hypervisor that emulates IPMI/iLO/AMT/whichever flavor management hardware on machines that lack the capability. It should run a single VM only, and pass through all other hardware, but also cordon off eg. a single TCP port, and allow the user to power cycle the VM, along with remote control (could be done through VNC). Bonus points for exposing temperature and other sensors.
This sounds a lot like "click fraud" only this time "search fraud".
Yeah, but what's funny is that these aren't just old timers that do the misspelling. The OS X moniker was perhaps coolest of all. But I have to admit that I pronounced it as "Oh Ess Ex", until someone explained the X was a Roman numeral and pronounced "Oh Ess Ten".
I think the best one I've seen was when Google's natural language processing mistook the subject of a sentence. Rather than saying that the Mariner 10 space probe used a gravity assist on Venus to reach Mercury, it instead said that Mercury received a gravity assist from Venus.
The physical size of the Earth will never increase, yet human's ability to multiply ourselves is infinite in theory. Something gotta give.

Going by evolutionary theory, that means the more our total population increases the smaller average human body size must shrink, so we would consume less input resources and produce less waste individually. Same reason why giant dinosaurs went extinct yet little cockroaches survived. Those T-Rex'es required massive calories consumption to sustain themselves, yet there was no longer enough resources in the environment to fuel them.

The problem is for any of those biological changes to take place and for human to evolve (assuming the evolutionary theory is true), that process will be a slow and gradual one, likely to take hundred thousands or even millions of years. Climate change certainly doesn't operate within even a remotely similar time frame. Once it hits, resources will become scarce so in the worst case if we cannot stop climate change, the only possible solution is to practice reducing average consumption level to minimum, or to forecast optimal numbers of the world's total population that can still be accommodated by the Earth at each level of damage produced by climate change, then find a way to relentlessly control that number to keep it within limit.

I sincerely hope we will never have to come to that scenario as countries which own nuclear power will possess massive advantages over others.
They make water heaters now that use ambient heat in a room to transfer that heat to the water — I believe they’re essentially heat pumps. Maybe you could put your water heater in a closet with the server and make use of some of the wasted energy.
That's the first good example I've seen that really undercuts my price, but it also has 60% of the single threaded performance. Probably still enough, I can see that, it works for you.

I admit I was more lazy, I have a separate room for this machine so I don't mind the noise that much. I just configured what I wanted and ordered it. I only did some research on the CPU performance.

I have had two anxiety attacks before. I was on medication for several months. I know meditation helps but don’t have time to practice it with all the commute and long work days. I don’t know what to do.

But they are much cheaper, can be useful even when partially deployed, and allow fine grained control over weather instead of making everything uniformly colder.

Besides cancer numbers are a bit inflated because people are living more now. If you live long enough the odds of getting cancer is quite high. Whilst it's always good to extend life even more, even if it was a dichotomy, that seems less pressing than a diseases that are killing in their prime or even before they had a chance of having a good go.

Can't help but think it goes way beyond "faith in expertise".

When I first heard the phrase "Post-truth politics" I thought that's ridiculous. But lately I'm thinking we're entering a post truth era in multiple areas of life.

Take for example finance. It's all just numbers in computers. Or notions of privacy in the digital world. Or identity in general.

Lies, artificial constructs and smoke & mirrors everywhere. And more importantly I'm no longer confident I can cut through the jungle even as - what I like to believe - a rather rational person.
