When did you last update? If you have used FreeNAS for years you might be on an old version that almost never wrote to the USB and so you are fine. A couple years ago they made some changes and now FreeNAS writes to the USB often and as a result most USB drives last for only a few months.
I'll believe this when the third result for "filled torus" isn't "Cum Filled Pussy Porn Videos" unless safe search is enabled. DDG's contextual awareness is abysmal.

I'm on DDG on all my devices for more than a year. Tried to use Google recently on a friend's computer, was shocked by horrible UI and lack of links. Not OK,Google.
That would not be "better", that would be myopic: Practical skills are only a part of what an education is or can be; information and skills which are not practical are still quite significant for us and for society at large; practicality changes over time; and the determination of what is and isn't practical is itself quite contentious.

A lot of our education - practical or otherwise - may be useless fluff, or even ideologically biased. But that's mostly not because of the chosen discipline.
DDG has a toggle to choose whether to prioritize local results or not. Try a search, and then it's prominent enough that I don't think I need to describe its location; you'll find it if you're looking.
It seems people have pretty individualized responses to this. In general, the research shows decreases in performance except for endurance events. Personally, I found my recovery was great on keto. Better than normal even. I was doing a strength cycle so my weights were increasing at the time and I was getting stronger. I actually felt better in the gym, and I lift pretty heavy. A lot of the aches and pains in my joints seemed to go away. Downsides: my gut felt weird, and you have work hard at getting adequate fiber and stuff. Also, it's hard to eat socially.

I was eating a higher protein diet than usually considered keto, but urinalysis confirmed ketosis.
This is true. Unfortunately DDG is flatly not interested in offering paginated results, if this 2 year old post by the staff member 'moollaza' on Reddit still applies.

My post there as 'the_minion_in_red' details how turning off "Auto-Load" works inconsistently depending on how you scroll, anyway - a behaviour which I see is still present and incorrect today.

And the 'lite' and 'html' views I suggest for the benefit of another poster, I don't much like because they're doing something to make the address bar URL not change so I can't easily bookmark a search.
Show HN: Sci-TEM – Matching scientists' technical research issues with experts
Like the sentiment expressed in this [thread](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20189664) I'm seeking to leverage my technical skills to help scientific research.

[Sci-TEM](https://github.com/teul-io/sci-tem) is an effort to create a space to connect scientists/researchers with mathematicians, statisticians, programmers, and engineers who feel the same way. The MVP is a repository because GitHub provides many features up front without having to build a separate platform. I'm honestly not sure more is needed.

The pipeline mirrors any collaborative effort on GitHub:

* A scientist/researcher with a problem creates an issue detailing the help they need.
* Experts chime in, and the conversation can range from just the comment section to another repo, gist, or replit for live multi-person coding (the goal is to use outside resources with a GitHub login).
* When the problem is solved the issue is closed.

With some momentum a useful extension would be guides pulling from common issues, and tutorials either as a simple static site or entries in the repo's wiki.

I'd be grateful for any feedback on how to improve this effort, and spreading the word to people or labs looking for help.
I'm not clear what you think push notifications are. They're what you seem to describe as "normal notifications".

The news notifications you're getting are the same push notifications that other apps have had for over a decade.

The most unfortunate thing is that, if you configure settings inside an app, half the time it's disrespected and that setting is changed later. It's safer to change in the Notifications center in iOS (eg, in the phone preferences, rather than in the app preferences).
Cartels of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were busted up by the federal government by in large, you are making ahistorical statements.
Got any examples of capitalism that aren't maintained by a government?

[EDIT] OK that was a bit glib. My point is things are a lot more complicated than "capitalism does this, government does that" and the two are essentially inseparable. Further this entire thread is full of "markets = capitalism" which is missing the mark—tendencies toward free market policies are a defining feature of capitalism, but free markets per se aren't identical to capitalism.
Also the buttons at the top inside the navgation (HOW IT WORKS, PRICING, DOCS, SIGN IN) have too little contrast with the blue background. There are white but have an opacity of 0.6. Set the opacity to 1 and they look much better. Add maybe a border effect on hover.
Looking a bit deeper (eg https://www.reddit.com/r/freenas/comments/fdx8rj/freenas_and...):

> Some of the features of TrueNAS Enterprise include support for dual-controller/HA systems, native Fibre Channel support, integrated chassis monitoring and management, as well as certifications with platforms like VMWare, Veeam, and Citrix.

The "native Fibre Channel" support bit sound a bit worrying. Isn't that just the inclusion of appropriate drivers in the kernel config used to compile the image?

People do ask about that on the FreeNAS forums (Fibre Channel support), so it's not like there's no demand for FC from FreeNAS users.
I have this same problem. I use the same "subject sub-subject (...) specific query" tactic I've been using since forever and Google search has been becoming less effective for me over the years. I switched to DDG a couple of years ago I think, and it's better for handling that sort of thing.

Is there a search engine out there that respects quotes, and, or, case-insensitive when asked for, etc? In some ways I miss the days of altavista and similar search engines which had "advanced" tabs you could use to craft your query as closely as needed to find that one web page you know has what you need to find that you stumbled upon years ago.

The only time I use what the author refers to as "low intent searches" is when I've just heard a term or phrase I don't understand and don't know enough about it to ask specifically for something.
The government may have been advocating low fat diets but of course people don't follow nutrition advice. If you look at what people were actually eating in the time you describe they started eating more of everything. Consumption of chicken and cheese in particular exploded.

Sugar consumption has actually been in decline for years now and obesity keeps climbing. Yes sugar is bad for you but blaming modern health problems just on sugar is not accurate.
No citation, but If you think about it it makes sense: is you have no fat left, and aren't ingesting enough calories, your body would rather burn muscle than organs.
If you want to have just persistent histry (really simple), you can use vanilla bash history something like.

export HISTFILESIZE=99999999

I haven't watched this particular lecture, but I watched (part of) a rather popular series of lectures, and he had such gems as "colonial empires spent more money in the colonies than they got in return", or "the wheel was never invented in Africa until Europeans arrived", which are such ludicrous, patently false statements that you're even at a loss as how to react.

Pretty unlikely. Even replacing car ECUs is not something popularly done with open source at this point, despite them being much, much more prevalent than farm equipment.

I'm sure many farmers would love it if there was an open source firmware alternative, but that's about as likely as an open source firmware being developed for home microwaves. There's interest, but it's not widespread enough that someone is going to do it well enough to make it worthwhile.

When I went to SF for a short trip and saw a homeless person screaming against a bus or tram station, it frankly shocked me. I've seen quite some gritty stuff in The Netherlands (family members not on wellfare, too mentally unstable to work, passing out from hunger etc.) but the US always takes the cake and takes it 10 steps further.

In The Netherlands the darkside of capitalism is subtle. If I didn't have personal family members being in this situation, I would honestly not know where to look. A casual stroll in Amsterdam doesn't betray much. A casual stroll in downtown San Francisco does.

Here is how capitalism contributes: it makes us focus on ourselves. In such a society it is possible for people to take pause and institutionalize help for other people, but there is a tendency that this doesn't happen. Capitalism nudges towards focusing on the enrichment of the individual.

While there is nothing wrong with that, it leaves less focus for helping others (there's only a limited amount of focus) and it's an extra barrier. The Netherlands is an example of a country that mostly overcame that barrier, the US is an example in which such a barrier poses serious problems.
RIP Good Times Presentation(2008)
I was going to ask, how do you avoid creating another victim in this model?

But I guess the idea is you don't avoid it, instead you rely on the tendancy that it works out in the right direction enough times, and the injustice of an innocent being thrown out isn't the end of the world?

In my life experience, admittedly not in a bar, but some of it in another social organisation, I've seen hundreds of complaints where one person says someone else's behaviour is seriously unacceptable and bad, where it turns out the person saying it is engaged in unacceptable behaviour themselves. Sometimes the same type of behaviour.

There, the sanctions are more severe: People may be thrown out for weeks or months or permanently, and it is more public, so the harm to the person socially is much greater than being thrown out of a club one night.

It is one of the difficulties I have with some styles of codes of conduct: I've directly witnessed advocates and code-writers engaging in precisely the behaviours they say should result in sanctions, seemingly oblivious to the fact they themselves are serious offenders, and when it's brought to their attention, rather than deal with it, they play it down applied to themselves and their friends, seemingly oblivious to the effects visible hypocrisy from a "core group" has on a community where the less in-group people get contradictory messages about what to do to fit in.
Thanks for sharing this. Looks very interesting but with the fraud filtering in place for most ads, I wonder how effective this can be in the long run. Seems as if it'd be filtered out but maybe, that's the point???

I'm not sure the stimulation of creativity can be improved much with process and management. Just like bouncing off ideas, brainstorms etc. works best in-person. Physical contact is something that is hard to replicate or work around with technology. Everyone has experienced the difference between webconferencing and real person meeting and can tell that one has more weight than the other. Maybe VR could be of use here since it helps lift that imaginary barrier that gives weight to conversations.
Do you have a source for the first claim? Adam smith himself writes about how it is more expensive for the British to provide military defense for Colonial America than what they get from the trade rights.

HN should be able to handle a highly technical article title, though. And if people can't, then someone can explain it in the comments.

It becomes a problem when you lose necessary context in fitting the title in the limit, causing confusion or misinterpretation of the title. I've seen arguments started over it. There's one current example here[0] where "India’s Yes Bank" was shortened to Indian Bank" in the title to make up for the original being two characters over the limit. Turns out there's an actual "Indian Bank[1]" and now the title is misleading. All because we can't have a title with 82 characters.

Granted, it doesn't happen often, but every time it does happen, it would have been trivially easy to avoid by either not having a character limit for titles, or having a more reasonable one like 120 characters.

Edit: also apparently just happened here[2].

Agreed. Each time I see something about DDG on HN I try to switch and it never lasts. I don't like the results on DDG and as much as I'd like to move away from Google they've got search on lock.
Meaning(value) is subjective, under capitalism, what's demanded by people is what's produced. Sure speculation can mislead people into valuing the wrong thing but that's hardly a problem inherent with capitalism itself.

Whenever I analyze arguments against the free market, it almost always seems that the person speaking thinks the market should give people what the person speaking thinks they ought to want.
That's been worrying me. If we swamp our treatment infrastructure, the death rate could go up significantly.
The real question is towards what end those resources are being efficiently allocated. Capitalism is an incredibly efficient system for accumulating resources with a tiny percentage of the population at the expense of everyone else. This is precisely why late stage capitalist societies inevitably turn into oligarchies.
> I'm really curious what possible reason there could be for that.

It's right in the page you linked:

> If you are experiencing fever, cough or shortness of breath, and traveled to an area where COVID-19 is spreading, call or go to your health care provider. Your provider will work with the Health Department to determine if you need COVID-19 testing.

Right now, the city is only testing symptomatic people that have been outside the country recently to one of the five nations with widespread cases, and people in direct contact with confirmed cases in the city. It's a (possibly too) conservative rationale, but it is a rationale.
Anything that requires me to radically change my diet to experiment with myself "just to see", that takes a minimum of 2-3 months, is a hard pass. It's just not that interesting to most of us for a vaguely hand-wavey possibly useful experiment.

Well said.

And it should be noted that even when the monopoly does not exist, regulation and government intervention almost always favors the larger players in the market. In many cases, they are the ones writing the regulations. Those regulations make the barrier of entry more difficult and discourage new competitors from entering a marketplace.

Big business and big government are symbiotic.

I don't see any evidence to support the assertion unfortunately :)

Also, the huge difference between emotional/perceptive aggression, and actual aggression.

There are loud, crude people who like to push for a fair deal, or who are not aggressive terms.

There are 'nice', cunning manipulative people who seek excessive terms.

There are actually truly nice people, who push for assertive terms, not realising how far they are going.

And of course, there's mostly tons of misinterpretations: people who have totally different needs, perspective, expectations with respect to how to go about a situation. A founder seeing aggression might actually be an investor taking a perfectly normative demand.

But yes, I've seen utter stupidity in deal making.

Relationships do matter, and you need a working agreement with whoever you're working with, investors included.
I have been on Keto for about 8 months, felt terrible and interrupted the diet, only to later find that a lot of the theory behind it (the CIM model) is complete bullshit.

And whenever seeing claims of the effects of low carb or keto diets, most claims are confounded by the diet being hypocaloric, or with a significant variance in protein when compared with control, with its proponents constantly shifting the goal posts.

This study seems interesting and it has been known that ketosis can help epileptics. But take it with a grain of salt ;-)
Twitter wouldn't exist if it weren't for the character limit.
I will give DDG in a similar try, but I am more like the HN crowd than the average user....lots of searches for statistical and programming functions/ideas that most people have never heard or think about :e.g. "model selection among non-nested fractional polynomial mixed level models"
Sparse matrix math basically boils down to indirect array references: A[B[i]]. GPUs generally trade off memory bandwidth for latency, relying on being able to do a lot of work to hide that memory latency. But because there's no work between the first and second load, you are no longer able to hide the memory latency of the second load with extra work.

CPUs, by contrast, have a thorough caching hierarchy that tends to focus on minimizing memory latency, so it doesn't take as long to do the second load compared to a GPU.
I find DDG more useful when I treat it like it's trying to help me use the internet, rather than like it's trying to replace the internet.

try "fish tacos !yelp"
The answer is yes. Capitalism is the only humane system. All others are terrifically violent and oppressive.
There's not much to respond to, really. My company sent out a memo reiterating the common-sense things to do to protect yourself, and reinforcing our already-existing "never come to work sick" policy. That seems sufficient to me.

Edited to add: my employer has had a teleworking policy for years that works well with this. The policy is that if you want to work from home, you can. Almost nobody does, though.
No, Unraid /does/ offer real time raid. The "sync" command you are talking about is related to the cache drives. You can setup a pool of SSD drives and tell different "shares" (think a folder than can span 1 more drives based on rules you set) to use that pool (BTRFS raid-1-type pool, so 2x1TB SSDs = 1TB cache pool). The "sync" (called "mover" in unraid terms) is a process that runs on a schedule you set (most people set it to run at night) that will move data to/from your cache drives to/from your raid array. The mover will not move files that still have an open handle on them (ie. you are actively using the file).

You can specify for each "share" if it should be No/Yes/Only/Prefer, explanation of each below (Pulled from my UnRaid install):

<Start copy>

* "No" prohibits new files and subdirectories from being written onto the Cache disk/pool.

* "Yes" indicates that all new files and subdirectories should be written to the Cache disk/pool, provided enough free space exists on the Cache disk/pool. If there is insufficient space on the Cache disk/pool, then new files and directories are created on the array. When the mover is invoked, files and subdirectories are transferred off the Cache disk/pool and onto the array.

* "Only" indicates that all new files and subdirectories must be written to the Cache disk/pool. If there is insufficient free space on the Cache disk/pool, create operations will fail with out of space status.

* "Prefer" indicates that all new files and subdirectories should be written to the Cache disk/pool, provided enough free space exists on the Cache disk/pool. If there is insufficient space on the Cache disk/pool, then new files and directories are created on the array. When the mover is invoked, files and subdirectories are transferred off the array and onto Cache disk/pool.

<End copy>

For me I just keep all my docker containers/VMs/docker config on my cache pool ("Only"). Everything else goes directly to the array ("No"). I do this because I gain nothing from having a new TV show sit on the cache for <24 hours. I am rarely going to watch something that fast and so it just fills up the cache drive for no good reason. Yes the array is slower to write to but I don't really mind that.

I am able to lose 1 cache drive (I have 2) and/or 1 data/parity drive without experiencing data loss. I currently have 1 SSD that is showing disconnected and 1 disk drive that is failing yet my system is chugging along without issue. Note: This is not my plan long-term, I think I bumped the sata cable for the SSD (when replacing a different drive) so I just need to open the case and as for the data drive I've got another one ready to go but I just haven't had the time in the past 2 days. Unraid is really great to work with IMHO.
