Does anyone else grow "numb" to a track after listening to it for a while? 400-500 plays seems to be the limit for me, and the period between plays doesn't seem to matter, after which it evokes no pleasing feelings, and even causes a little annoyance as if some part in the brain is "sore" from it.
It is a fairly reasonable characterisation. Obviously if there is any potential for a virus to escape even if everything is done correctly then it is far, far too dangerous study.

Safety systems are there to catch when people make mistakes and/or don't do things they should do. There is a level of negligence that no system can cope with but up to that point they safe systems should be able to cope with mistakes.

What’s a cryptographic guarantee?
The one thing I don't like which doesn't make sense on my part. If I need to make a change in React it is usually not easy because oft he different state(s) involved.

So if I have to add a new modal/modify the workflow, it's a process.

"I could just do it" it it was straight Dom manipulation and direct data handling but I get why that can be bad as well.

I am also not an expert but it could just be that I'm doing it poorly. For example cross communicating between components so I click on some button that had to rerender a parent group to show a modal inside or something, which again sounds like bad design. But that's what I've been "annoyed" with. Oh and the walls of warnings about useEffect or something not being mounted yet/apply change.
I gather they’re going for an endowment model, and the pricing is reassuringly expensive.

That said, storage is one of those things that feels as though it should be charged on a subscription basis.
Consider changing the grid texture and re-recording your videos. Depending on the level of zoom, it creates an unpleasing effect: https://send.firefox.com/download/f3465be7ff20fc88/#Ebv76l6w...

I guess not - since it can pull data directly from FB.

I don't want a git client for exactly this reason. I wouldn't mind a staging / commit client though, or a client that visualizes the branch situation though.

I wish people who made these things didn't start off with the implicit belief that they need to try to replicate every feature of the git client in a UI.
Prolog is rather limiting; that's why Lisp has established itself in traditional AI and especially in algorithmic music composition/generation too (see e.g. Experiments in Musical Intelligence, EMI, or OpenMusic or CLM); even today there are very interesting tools based on Lisp for music generation, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impromptu_(programming_environ....

Hah. Nah nothing like that. Just right place right time. When you combine that with the fact that I probably check HN a little too frequently, it makes sense. :P

I do occasionally manually search HN for mentions of ripgrep. But that wasn't how I found this thread.
Interesting, the book worked for me, particularly because it did address reasons (that I thought I had) like cognitive stimulation, social connection, and taking a break.

I'd like to add; that I think that all of the stimulants mentioned above result in a net loss of energy and focus, even if the peaks are higher.

This is not 'new' information, and the situation is evolving. Many scientists have indicated that similar virus affects can take between 7 and 20 years to completely heal. But there's not enough information yet.
I'm actually going to flag this, since basically it seems to be working quite hard to pretend that the US was funding Gain of Function research in Wuhan, when that doesn't seem to actually be the case. There has been joint research about outbreaks in the wild - which is where the funding link seems to come from, and also the claim that there was a moratorium on GOF research is horribly misrepresented.

I spent some time looking at where the factual claims come from and I've sort of come to the conclusion that what we have here is an eco-system of sites that are publishing more and more articles, citing each other slowly moving further and further away from the core facts each time. Until you're entirely removed the facts and the whole thing is just a web of speculation. The closest I could get to any real claims about the lab was this Daily Mail article[1], but again, it's things like

>The news that COVID-19 bats were under research there means that a leak from the Wuhan laboratory can no longer be completely ruled out.

and

> According to one unverified claim, scientists at the institute could have become infected

You see, its this reporting of completely unverified speculation, that gets laundered through site after site until you end up with

>The Wuhan lab is now at the center of scrutiny for possibly releasing the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and causing the global Covid-19 pandemic.

Well, yeah, it's the center of scrutiny because you and your buddies decided to make it the centre of scrutiny with no evidence. Here's a wild thought: Maybe it's necessary to do research on diseases near to the source of the disease. It's not a conspiracy when the lab studying mad cow disease is located in the UK either.

The only thing I use a GUI for when related to git is a 3-way merge. The built in merge tool with a Jetbrains product is pretty good.

There are some other features like the git highlighting in a file is a quick and easy way to see how the code has changed without leaving, but anything besides a merge conflict is done on command line
In theory? Nothing at all.

In practice, some see the fact many tech employers give coding tests to people with CS degrees as a sign the standards at the end aren't as consistently high as one might hope.
Isn't that funny, I can buy any game now but I usually lose interest after an hour or two playing it like Red Dead Redemption, played 2 hrs haven't touched since. I can get "quick hits" if it's a rapid PVP or something but getting into a story/following some long progression...
This sounds great! That always bugged me about Anki. I knew it could
be done so much more conveniently.

I would suggest redoing the intro video, with better acoustics, less "umm" and "so anyway...". The site and product look really polished so it kinda sticks out.
OK, "guarantee" is a bit strong. But for example, if the keys are generated client-side and they never see the key, like on tarsnap, then I wouldn't have to take them at their word that they totally promise not to look at my files.
> A carrot you eat and turn to literal shit.

It sustains their life and thus serves an important purpose.

> Also unlike kitschy stuff you buy and just sits there forgotten, you appreciate them, you have to somewhat care for them, they add value to life.

Kitschy stuff is another ecological disaster, separately from cut flowers. People who appreciate flowers generally buy potted ones and care for them; cut plants are meant as gifts or decorations, and they get thrown away immediately (think of all the decorative flowers on social events) or after they wither (ain't nobody has time to care for the gift roses in the vase, or even notice them).

> I feel like what you are saying is you don't like flowers so no one else should.

I think GP is saying something else. They're taking a systems-level view. Flowers are cool, but we've created a system in which huge amount of energy is used to manufacture and ship around what amounts to reified mating signals, that could be manufactured and shipped locally instead. Now it would be fine in the era of free energy and matter replicators, but we're still in the era of scarcity and looming climate change. So it's fair to ask questions about unnecessary waste in the system.
It is people being silly. COVID-19 is a terrible biological weapon. As in ineffective. And prone to misfiring.

It's mildly amusing, sure, but publishing a rehash of a joke made on April 1st two weeks later, on April 15th, feels like seeing someone lag in real life. The paper should have been just left alone to be discovered by someone later as a fun curio. Especially since The Week seems to be a completely serious website the rest of the time, what a weird choice to publish that article two weeks after April Fool's.
Surely Mozilla and Firefox have never been anything more than a geeky alternatives to the lead browser! It's true that once upon a time IE had a monopoly and some dedicated used Firefox, and then Chrome was on the up and up and broke the monopoly and a few people switched to Firefox, but now we're back in the time of monopoly and Chrome is on top.

In my opinion git GUIs have two major adventages:

1. you can see all the information at on glance:
current branch, all local branches all remotes and remot branches, local changes, recent commits, current merge conflics

2. cherry picking single lines for staging in multiple files is much faster in a GUI than via terminal (maybe there are clever tricks to make it easier I don't know of)

Seems to be part of RAI Italia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rai_Italia).
The idea is that they'd form an endowment. So they put your $10 in some sort of relatively safe investment, and every year it grows by, say, 1%. So then they have 10¢/year/GB to spend on storage costs.
I think you should re-read the comment I replied to originally. The part about "it looks like a lot of people couldn't care less about the lives of others" is more or less a direct quote from that where spiderfarmer said:

"It seems a lot of people can't care less about the life of someone they don't know."

and my whole point was that this can be turned around exactly - people who treat shutting down the economy as if it were a trivial, obviously good thing to do don't appear to care about the lives of others who they don't know and who will be seriously negatively affected by that. As exemplified by the comment about how "Some people will kill someone for a couple of bucks".

So that's the opposite of a straw man!

They're consulting with experts and people on the ground to make and update those determinations

Unfortunately they really aren't. The only people with expertise in command economies (which is what our economies have suddenly become) know they always result in ridiculous outcomes. The shutdowns aren't some hyper-precise expert driven brilliance: they're shambolic, chaotic and riven with extremely stupid results.

Here in Switzerland I went to the supermarket the other day. You can buy many things there, but the toy shelves were covered, with a sign saying you're not allowed to buy them. There's no health justification for that because the people are in the supermarket anyway. And for the millions of parents stuck at home with bored kids, toys are rather important. Instead this is a side-effect of the way the law is written - it bans sales of particular goods, not openings of particular types of stores. They could have phrased it differently but then of course every store would start selling vegetables so they could remain open. Regardless of how such a law is written you get nonsensical and frustrating outcomes with no health justification.

In the UK the government is supposed to be buying essential items like PPE. Instead it's flailing around in a swamp of incompetence:

- Politicians are causing diplomatic incidents by claiming orders weren't dispatched but

- Those same orders weren't actually submitted to the sellers days or even weeks after it was claimed they were

- Private companies with PPE in UK warehouses are shipping it to other European countries, because the government didn't bother to actually buy it after import

- When equipment is ordered, it's bought from dodgy suppliers who routinely ship wrong or defective items.

You can find news stories about all these events in the British press.

We're living in a world where governments can't reliably purchase gowns and masks or make an exception so toys can be sold in supermarkets, let alone evaluate the tens of millions of products and firms to decide what's essential and what's not. Even conceptualising the size of such a task is beyond them. The idea the shutdowns are coordinated by experts on the ground is a pleasant dream, but sadly not real.
Not if you are able to charge enough, and reinvest the funds such that low-risk investment returns will cover the cost.

Combine that with underlying costs (storage, data transfer, computing power) which are trending downward and there’s no reason it shouldn’t work.

Indeed, I've been considering getting a PhD. The situation in Sweden is quite different to yours however. To begin with, all university education is free, and we further get a student grant of ca. $300 USD / month and access to an almost free student loan for up to 6 years. PhD students all get a salary of ca. $3k USD / month. Also, here you don't get a PhD "instead" of a master's -- a master's is rather a prerequisite to getting a PhD, in practice if not formally. Generally, the path to a PhD in Sweden is: 3 years for bachelor's degree -> 2 years for master's -> 4 years for PhD.
Right,ok, I wasn't aware of that. I'm just basing this on the experience with my own sister, who went to a British school at the age of 15 and immediately picked only the few subjects that interested her and didn't have to do anything else. By age 18 when taking her A-levels the school actually limited her to only taking subjects where she had a high chance of getting a good grade as to not accidentally lower the average for the school. So in her final year at school she only had like 3 subjects, where I at the same point at a Polish school had like 10 subjects.

Just want to say thanks for this. I was using Leechblock before, but it would frequently navigate away from in-progress forms while I was writing longform comments and lose work, whereas Intention offers a modal prompt to extend the period.

Also appreciate that it only requires access to the sites I'm blocking.

Some stats I'd like to see on the prompt would be: how many times this hour/day/week/month I've extended the unlock period. This would help me nudge myself to stop doing it.

Good luck and never sell out!

If you want to encrypt your data before you upload it, surely you have that option? In fact that really the only way it could work, if they did the encryption and have your back the key, you'd have to trust them that they're not keeping it too.

I can understand why they don't want to add a big barrier to entry by requiring that.
I've found sublime to be not so sublime. It beats everything in terms of speed but I'm not a fan of the design and it's woefully lacking in customisation and doesn't support a lot of the git options.

I have no qualms about cut flowers per se.

In my country garlands for hindu ceremonies are big business. I guess that is as essential as it gets for cut flowers. However, these largely depend on local suppliers.

The exporting surely is not essential.
We might not end up agreeing today but I'll admit you argue well.

I'll note though:

- In both cases one persons carelessness hurts others, only to a much stronger degree in the original version.

- I agree, and it is obvious to me that one persons relatives or employer cannot have a say in everything and that some risky behaviors should be allowed as for example skydiving might actually be healthy.

- I agree that maybe it shouldn't fall under criminal laws, I mean I see no reason why a person shouldn't get a visa or a gun permit because they were caught without a seatbelt, but I still want a way to make more people use it. (On a side note, I don't think seatbelt goes on permanent record around here.)

I also guess people with tax paid health care might care more than people who have individual insurances pay for their health care.

Regarding my other example:

the rules are for Norwegians that leave the country to buy cheap meat or booze and then come back - fully aware that they should self quarantine.

With the previous rules they would enjoy a complementary free holiday, paid for by their employers and taxpayers.

That won't be tolerated anymore.

As for the Swedes yes, I agree, they are free to do whatever they want and I think I was careful to not judge them, I'll wait with that until we see the end of this pandemic.
