I managed to convince myself that I'm not using twitter website correctly because it happens to me all the time - after digging into some comment/thread I want to return to 'main' thread and it returns to the beginning, after that I often give up and just close tab, this is incredibly frustrating and infuriating!

I'm pretty sure that's somehow my fault because it would be insane that one of most frequently used service in the world and company which employs most skilled 10x workforce is unwilling or incapable to deal with problem like this.
There is no dilemma. 99 times out of 100 the user is expecting a link (aka a browser history update) and a way to get back to that screen (an idempotent collection of data on that url).
Even without FaceID, knowing the exact geometry of the screen and camera can get you really close, which is something you can only get reliably with a vertically integrated product. Meanwhile there is no possible way for Zoom to know exactly where my webcam is on my monitor without a cumbersome setup and calibration process.

Edit: nope, I was wrong, they used FaceID sensors. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.macrumors.com/2019/07/03/io...
It's true by definition (of "your life" as the time during which you can at all experience things). In that sense it doesn't matter how profound and magical your life has been or will be; it's still the most profound and magical thing you'll ever experience.

Ask HN: How does a bank store money? With SQL?
We know quite a bit about how cryptocurrencies work. I now wonder where can I read more on how bank technologies work. Some naive questions (gotta start somewhere):

Is a MySQL database keeping track of how much money I have?

Can these databases / technologies be hacked?

Have they been hacked? And how?

To what extent is this stuff open-source and closed source?

Are certain programming languages and/or frameworks fundamental to the electronic transfer of bank money?

In short: how does the technology of fiat/normal money work, technically?
Thanks for the reference. Reading the wikipedia article on the topic, I get the impression that side effects that develop slowly (e.g. more than 3 months post vaccination as in this case) will either not be detected at all or it will be almost impossible to attribute them to the particular vaccine (esp. if you get a different one each year).
What is really bothering me is the overall "debuggability" of the vaccines/medication. I mean, people developing them simply have no clue about the different mechanisms by which they can cause harm to the body. Let alone any adverse effect when combined with e.g. over the counter drugs or supplements.

Tbh, this is one thing I miss about games before the internet. The pauses and timing is part of the game, it's something you have to contend with. If anything, it makes it more challenging, for example, getting enough of a hot item in before 10pm requires organization. Now with the internet gamers cry all day like children on twitter for QOL improvements instead of just, you know, dealing with it. Before the internet, games had to be a) tested very well but b) were delivered as a final product, few updates if any, so gamers actually had to contend with the game as it was.

Some excess mortality might even be caused by such measures. I feel like I would have a much higher threshold before looking for (Covid-unrelated) medical help. Suicides should be on the uptick. Other things like accidents should go down.

I'm not saying the measures and restrictions aren't necessary, just that there are some costs associated. Those deaths aren't really "Covid-19" fatalities even though they are indirectly caused by the pandemic.

If it was a case of just seeing if they need oxygen then it'd be trivial.

The issue is when they deteriorate, what do you do then. There are hundreds of ways for people in hospital to "go wrong" knowing when where and how to intervene requires both nurses and doctors. All of which take 3-9 years to train
Whilst I intensely dislike the one-island-per-Switch restriction, I can understand - thinking about how to handle someone visiting an island on the same Switch makes my head hurt. Couldn't have the player character there, you'd need cross-account communication of things like turnip prices, etc.

(And if you disallowed people visiting another island on the same Switch, people would be up in arms about that too.)
Who do these "judges" think they are, with their absurd, arbitrary, oppressive fantasies that "murder" exists and is "illegal"?

Ancient Greece is considered the cradle of european civilization for a reason. But I wouldn't go so far as to say much of our law, literature, politics, ethics, and aesthetics comes from them. Certainly, we borrowed a lot of words and ancient greece laid the foundations for modern society but most of what we have today doesn't come from ancient greece. Ancient greece contributed to architecture but I wouldn't say most of our architecture today comes from ancient greece. Ancient greece didn't have skyscrapers. The greeks gave us the foundations of mathematics but most mathematics we have today do not come from the greeks. This goes for ethics ( we don't force people to take hemlock ), literature, politics ( don't own slaves ), aesthetics, etc. If anything, the thinkers of the enlightenment probably influenced modern society the most. But of course, they themselves were influenced by the ancient greeks, romans, etc.
Sounds plausible. Do you have a link to that article? I'm not trying to bate you, I'd genuinely like to read it.
The problem with these kind of Docker "recipe books" is users very quickly build up an unmanageable number of containers, images, networks, volumes etc. on their Docker hosts. When these users inevitably run into unexpected behaviour (or run out of disk space) their only solution is to "destroy the world" with some other recipe like a "docker prune".

I see similar things with git users who only learn recipes. I die a little inside every time I see someone fix their problems by deleting and recloning the repo because that's what it says to do on "ohshitgit.com".
These kind of graphs, while useful, still miss a point. My experience in Spain is that there are a some hotspots like Madrid where hospitals and morgues are collapsed but other cities/villages, which have the same lockdown didn't have so many infected people per capita, so they will actually have probably the same or less mortality rates. The country on itself looks bad, but in the hotspots is terrible
Just created an account, and have started syncing my YouTube uploads to it (it ain't much, but whatever). I ain't entirely sold on the whole blockchain aspect, but hey, worth trying, right?

One question, though: I started off at https://lbry.com/youtube and started the sync process with a channel name, and then created an account with a different starting channel name; will both channels get correctly tied to my account? They're currently set to the same email address.
I think this website is aimed at mobile users?
Thanks for the recommendations. I would in return suggest Braintrust by Patricia Churchland. It looks at how morality and ethics arise from the needs of social animals such as ourselves to exist within a group that won't tear itself apart, and at the neurochemistry of it. The material is very accessible, and if the writing can be a bit stuffy at times, the points are solid and well worth the read.
Many aren't going to doctor visits, aren't exercising, are eating more etc etc. It all adds up.

WHO never claimed this, they (correctly) cited what Chinese authorities were saying. Here is the full text of the tweet for people that don't like reading images of text:

> Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan, #China.

Also note that the WHO field visit to Wuhan took place a week later, on 20-21 January. In their mission summary from 22 January they wrote [1]:

> Data collected through detailed epidemiological investigation and through the deployment of the new test kit nationally suggests that human-to-human transmission is taking place in Wuhan. More analysis of the epidemiological data is needed to understand the full extent of human-to-human transmission. WHO stands ready to provide support to China to conduct further detailed analysis.

Tbf most common PowerShell commands have short aliases for interactive use. I like that I can use the long forms in scripting and aliases on command line.

For example in my PS (unsure who created aliases because I think some aren't default) I have both "ls" and "dir" for "Get-Childitem", "wget" for "Invoke-Webrequest" and so on.

Meat farmers don't buy cucumbers from the shops to feed to their animals. You'd need to compare farm gate prices of the kinds of low-grade grains used in animal feed.

In any case what you say isn't even true: At my local supermarket cucumbers are £1.80/kg, while chicken starts at £1.95/kg for super-cheap chicken thighs with bone-in, up to nearly £20/kg ("Sainsbury's Norfolk Black Corn Fed Free Range Chicken Fillets" in case you want to know), the average being around £5/kg. There are no pork products at all below £4/kg.

Isnt the internet architectured to be resistant all sorts of attacks? Then why are several of these cables not laid down to all regions for more redundancy? Or does this situation only pertain to regions that are on the periphery?

If all it takes is for one cable to severed for an entire nation to lose access, then in what sense is the network resilient to attack, much less a nuclear war, as is claimed?
Using LLVM IR merely solves the problem of being able to compile to a specific instruction. You still need a compatibility wrapper for all the platform specific APIs like wine or Windows on Windows. If Apple puts in the effort then it might work out.
Why would you expect them to be closer? The respective government responses were very different - the UK initially decided to to pursue a "herd immunity" strategy - i.e. do nothing to stop the spread of the virus. In contrast, the Irish government locked down early and hard - the UK lock down occurred later (once the significance of the threat became more obvious) and even then introduced lock-down measures more gradually.

That's true only if "Apple using CPU I deem cool" counts as performance.

Otherwise, benchmarks say that first Intel Mac Mini was almost twice as fast than the latest Mac Mini with PowerPC.

This is a fair point. If Apple had any sense they'd pay Adobe to do it if it came to it.

There have been large parts of my life where I would have been better off dead. I didn't choose suicide at those times, and I've always wondered if I made the right decision not to.

Life these days is... tolerable. There is nothing 'magical' about a daily grind of loneliness and (until recently) nearly two decades of pain and isolation caused by mental illness caused by two people who should never have been allowed to breed.

How has the web been tainted with ads?

Many sites people have put on the web based on their business decisions are, sure.

But that doesn't mean the core technology has been fundamentally tainted, any business not operating on a model of generating revenue from passive views generally doesn't display ads on their sites/in their products.
Ah I see, yeah the Plus plan lets you choose the storage. Professional works differently for some reason. I bet if you contacted their support they'd consider changing it though as it doesn't quite make sense as-is.
In my home country Sweden, I used to think that the rise of the "sweden democrats" (a right wing populist party) was a sign of growing support for their views. I have recently reconsidered that view. I think what we see today are things that never went away. I may be alone in this, by I regard the right wing populism as a democratisation of society. Not because I like the views voiced by the people representing that part of the spectrum, but because it introduces a large part of the population to the public debate.

I think that we, in 30 years, will look back at the rise of right wing populism as a symptom of a positive development. The populist parties do get a lot of votes, and if anything I believe that is a sign that the voters have not felt represented by the power. Which, in turn, I also believe is why the populist party supporters are so loud. If I actually believed that the government did not represent the people, I would be loud as well.

When the "anti establishment" has become the establishment I think the democratic process will end up being stronger with a discussion climate that better represents the population.
Better, except that they take too long to build, cost too much to operate, and have proven incompatible with sound public policy.
I don't think they are exposing them in any way different to how they would be exposed without taking the vaccine.

I find the latest architecture versions are all remarkably similar as they have all adapted to the same environment:

The old 32-bit Arm (now called Aarch32) was quite different and only somewhat RISC-like. Arm's Aarch64 however is mostly derived from MIPS64 with a lot of modernization plus some parts (exception levels) from 32-bit Arm.

MIPSr6 was an attempt of modernizing MIPSr5 by removing all the ugly bits (delay slots!) but the incompatible instruction encoding prevented it from being widely adopted. You cannot buy a single MIPSr6 machine that a mainline Linux runs on.

RISC-V's design looked at all RISC architectures (Berkely RISC, MIPS, SPARC, Power, Arm, ...) for inspiration and took the best parts of each. Leaving out all the historic baggage means it's simpler (the manual is a fraction of the size), but most of the important decisions are the same as in MIPSr6 and Armv8/Aarch64.

One notable difference is the handling of compressed (16-bit) instructions: ARMv8/Aarch64 doesn't have them at all (like RISC-I/RISC-II, ARMv3 and MIPS-V), MIPSr6/microMIPS needs to switch between formats (like ARMv4T through ARMv6) and in RISC-V they are optional but can be freely mixed (somewhat like ARMv7 and nanoMIPS).
I'm in this situation. I actually wish I could switch to Linux, but I have too many systems / routines built around the best mac software.

The only major changes I've seen in IT organizations of companies was where the existing IT department had declined or was let go over time and any development was in slumber mode. Then an excited manager comes around and erects a new IT organization from nothing (usually leaning heavily on consultants and freelancers), having sold a Digital Transformation to the company. The new IT / developer department spends millions a year in conjuring up a new server stack (cloud native) and a new software architecture (microservices woo), often building on top of existing ancient software (probably running on a mainframe three further abstraction levels down), with the intent of eventually replacing them. Eventually. Maybe.

Usually those things got bogged down in the end because after 1-2 years, the first wave of developers get bored and move on to other opportunities, and the architecture they made is poorly abstracted microservices communicating via undocumented and unstructured REST APIs, with not nearly enough end-to-end tests or traceability to reliably make changes or add features.

In some parts of the world, marginal quality land is used for monocropping of animal feedstock using intensive exogenous inputs (fertiliser and pesticide).

Raising animals for meat on meadowland, depending on the level of intervention used on that land, can actually be good for biodiversity although if those animal are excreting larvicides everywhere they go, it's not so good.

In the English context, the richest habitat with the best biodiversity is a complex mix between meadows, hedgerows, and woodland. The exact historical balance, especially between meadows and woods is hotly contested and an open research topic.
