It’s not lying, it’s called make believe [1]. Children play this way all the time. It’s a healthy part of development. Adults play along with Santa Claus, the Easter bunny, and the tooth fairy. When kids get older and figure it out, they generally have fond memories of it. The only cases I’ve heard of where it was upsetting was when somebody else spoiled it for them, just like how people spoiled the end of the 6th Harry Potter book.

Adults do it all the time as well, when we consume fiction. It feels good to escape our current reality and inhabit another, magical reality, if only for a while. It’s a healthy thing to do as long as it doesn’t lead to a breakdown in our relationships and other aspects of our lives.

There are names in the current json file classified as "N" which stands for non-binary, but the frequency is quite low. "N" is based on if the frequency of "M" == "F" or if the frequencies are within a certain magnitude of each other. (magnitude calculation is based on proportions testing) With that being said, maybe it'd be worth adding functionality for a user to upload their own gender_lookup file?
I've seen multiple reports recently that clearly state that in the best professional opinion of the geologists who study Yellowstone, there is no realistic danger of it erupting in the foreseeable future.

The USGS has [0] a very brief but clear and informative FAQ on this topic. Most notable in that: "The rhyolite magma chamber beneath Yellowstone is only 5-15% molten (the rest is solidified but still hot), so it is unclear if there is even enough magma beneath the caldera to feed an eruption."

So yes, it is waning.

Nice. I was a counselor in UO, but got fired after they realized I was 13.
They may be primes, but they are primes of an Earth day, which, as far as I am aware, is the only place where those numbers would be 157 & 67.

As an example, our day on Earth is roughly 1440 minutes, while on Mars it is 1477 minutes. So on Mars it would be 153 & 65 day intervals.

I deliberately chose the closest comparison to Earth. Had I chosen any other planet in our solar system, the numbers would have been much, much more different (on Jupiter it would be 406 & 173 days, respectively).
Had similar experiences in Hungary. Cursive style enforced throughout grades 1-4, with a strictly defined stroke order for each letter. Even for numbers. The bottom stroke in 2 is crooked, as well as the top stroke in 7, and God forbid you leave out the line through the middle.

I'm not saying its bad or that you can't have a good experience with it, but we should take the "Linux as a Desktop" idea in the proper context. When people bring this idea up again and again, they are usually claiming that Linux is ready to replace Mainstream Desktop OS's for average people. So it usually falls short of that standard because there are only a handful of vendors selling vetted Linux Hardware, only two of them are household names, and the average person cannot be expected to research which GPU Models, NIC Chipsets, etc, are going to work with a Linux install.

The X220 was an amazing machine. I've had a couple of Thinkpad T series over the years and they were my favorite laptops. The keyboards were great.

I'm hoping the trend of more vendors selling Linux laptops will continue. I think there's a good chance that large companies supporting the OS will lead to a more maintenance free / a more stable experience for a wider range of use cases.

I don't dislike Linux. I simply wish it worked better for my purposes. IMO the best OS would have Windows' Mouse drivers and gaming support, MacOS early-mid 2010's Workflow/UI and touchpad drivers, and Linux's everything else. I work with all 3 major OSs on a daily basis and there are things that each of them does better than the others. Interestingly, the thing I find to be poorly implemented on all 3 is Multi-Monitor support.

Our points are not at odds. Something 'brutalist' might be very fitting in certain contexts. In most scenarios, creating something that's 'easy on the eyes' is a very important constraint of the design. My main point is that beauty in design emerges from a graceful balancing act between all of the conflicting constraints on a project. It rarely emerges by enforcing a facade on top of something.

The best Visual Designers have superb pattern-recognition skills for applying principles they've become familiar with in their education and professional work. They can quickly recognize a certain type of problem, and call on their depth of experience to apply a solution. But even the best can slip into habit of using well-worn tricks in situations where perhaps a different approach would be more fitting.

Smart TVs are the worst. Unrelated to TLS: I work for a video streaming company, and while almost all of desktop/mobile Chromium-based traffic is Chrome v80+ or at least v70+, the smart TVs have webviews based on Chromium v45~55 (most TVs) or ~v60 (cutting edge modern Samsungs), and some older ones (~2016) are even worse, based on a very outdated webkit which is more or less Safari 8.0 - basically hardly better than IE11.

But coming back to TLS again: even if the old devices have an up-to-date root store, they typically have an outdated TLS stack which does not support TLS 1.2 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and this one is probably even harder to update. And since most of the companies want to drop TLS 1.1- support on their servers soon, this should also doom those outdated devices apart from the root stores issues.

Trollish comment above but I do wonder about this. I always hear people who think ‘g’ is bullshit giving some form of this argument:

“AI can’t even x, how would you expect it to ever possibly do y?”

It’s like saying:

“How could a baby, which can not even tie its own shoes, spell a simple word, or fill a cup with water, ever possibly grow up to write a book, manage a corporation, or formulate a strategy for fighting a war? Impossible!”

It’s almost as if they think babies can’t learn. The AI is not a baby though, they say. Yeah, it’s not. But it’s a constantly learning body of work that is not regressing and not slowing down. Why would it not get to ‘general’ eventually?

Ask HN: What do you use to move (copy) data between systems?
Do you centralize your data? Do you run an iPaaS of some kind? Do you like it?

Context: I'm currently in the middle of a project where I'm hooking up an ERP system (SalesPad) to an eCommerce website (WooCommerce) and I've found I need to move many different kinds of data between them (Inventory/Orders/CustomPricing/etc), and I haven't found a good tool so I started building one.

Has anyone else run into this? How did you solve it? Did you like your solution?
Yes you're right, and I mentioned it depends on field of research. I did assume this discussion could be talking about MD or JD degrees as easily as a PhD in general - not for the GP comment, but for the average person thinking about going back to school.

The averages aren't that misleading though, since they represent the average choice of degree. If you know you're going to study history, then yes the numbers are too high for you, but the averages are correct for the average person.

You're right that a non-trivial number of professional advanced degree holders making more than $1M/yr. There are also many scientists and engineers and business people doing the same. People making more than $1M/year are statistical outliers, as are history PhDs in the U.S.

Do you want the same story from a dozen different sources? This is actually a good example of the differences between partisan sources. The New York Post article says this:

> Mesa City police declined to comment on the investigation but told the paper that the probe was “normal protocol” for non-natural deaths and noted that the case has not been ruled a homicide “at this time.”

In left-leaning publications they omit "at this time" and make that the headline.

But the interesting thing about the story isn't the police determination. That hasn't been made yet, so it tells us nothing, and anyway the police would have to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. The whole point is using that excuse creates a lot of reasonable doubt even if it was completely intentional.

The value of the story is that it gives us some new evidence. The narrative that somebody recklessly drank fish tank cleaner after a Trump recommendation loses credibility when you learn that the person was anti-Trump and thereby not inclined to unthinkingly believe whatever he says, up to and including drinking something with a label on it that says poison. Meanwhile a plausible alternative explanation exists.
For sure. Add to the fact that in every crypto-library I’ve used, you can’t tell it to ignore the expiration date without also ignoring actually harmful certificates, and this is what you end up with. If devs could just say: yeah we are not ever going to update the certificate, I’d be ok with that. An expired certificate is not inherently untrustworthy, it should just mean that it can’t sign anything. They’d then die of their own accord or be revoked.

Tin foil hat: To me, it smells more like CA’s wanted to make some cash by forcing their customers to buy certificates every so often instead of actually solving the problem and are now being bitten by their own rules.

A nice UI for entering content into forms is about 10% of a what a scaled content production team needs to get work done and 0% of what a digital marketing team needs. All that being said, Strapi can still be a really good product to fill a big part of the framework without locking yourself in. There are giant enterprisey CMS products like AEM or SiteCore that are all-in-one publishing and marketing platforms but they ludicrously expensive and complicated and not great quality either.
A "day" has no meaning anywhere but on Earth. So if you are going to make the leap that the usage of primes is a sign of intelligence, you would also have to believe that this message was meant for us and only us. However the burst seems to originate from 3 billion light-years away so they would have had to start sending the message very shortly after life began on the Earth. Seems incredibly unlikely.

EDIT: Also an Earth day is not a constant value. It would have been much shorter 3 billion years ago and this cycle wouldn't be repeating in prime numbers. This theoretical alien intelligence would therefore need to not only be able to recognize life on Earth in the first few hundred million years it existed. It would also need to be able to accurately model the Earths orbit over the next 3 billion years in order to customize the message for when it would be received. All that work to send the message and they still needed to luck out that the 3 billion year journey happened to reach us at nearly the perfect time for our technology to advance enough so we could hear it.

TIL about Network Error Logging[1], which is having browsers send you reports that your DNS isn't resolving, your load balancer is timing out (HTTP / TCP errors in general), or your TLS certificate is invalid. Basically all types of issues that don't end up in your own application server logs.

Report URI should lead with this (it's not even mentioned on the front page)! It's super useful for every site, I can't think why anyone wouldn't want this. CSP monitoring on the other hand, which seems to be their focus, is a much harder sell, a pain to setup and maintain, and a bit questionable value in my opinion.

They are all smart, because that is actually cheaper. The manufacturers earn money on selling what your view, ads and selling subscriptions. And they make more on this than it costs to make the TV "smart". There was a Vergecast with the Vizio CEO and he said this is the new business model. Notice that both Samsung and Sony are testing with ads on the homescreen, if those two are willing to do this as premium brands you can be sure everyone else will try as well.
Thanks! This looks like exactly what I was looking for!
Perhaps someone can find a planet where the timing is in the Fibonacci sequence relative to some local time measurement mechanism.
> I have two macbooks (white plastic) one with Tiger installed and another with Leopard an iPad 1 ( They all are in working condition) Its a shame to not be able to use the machines just because it is not supported.

That hardware isn't as valuable as you might think it is. The last plastic Macbook was made in 2010. It's value as a productivity tool is very limited today.

That said, e-Waste is a major problem, which is why in recent years, in the west, companies are required to collect a "recycling fee" on purchase of computer equipment to pay for the eventual recycling of the physical devices. Coincidentally, this was in part prompted by images of children in India and other developing countries picking over toxic E-waste from the west.

However, it's not really feasible for a company to support a device as old as your 2010 plastic Macbook from a software perspective, because software evolves too rapidly to run well on hardware that old. These are not desktop workstation towers for which you can swap out every component for newer ones.

> After covid, there are a lot of kids in Indian villages whoes education is dependent on online education. Maybe these laptops could be made usable for them.

The demands of common 2020 computer use-cases will render the hardware/software unusable, even when running a recent Linux distro.

So they will probably not be useful for remote-education. Basic things like watching educational videos will likely be painfully slow - if they work at all - constrained by the hardware's ability to decode and display the video.

If you do get these common use cases working on that old a device (which would be a fun and worthy hacking project by itself), if you give it to someone else to use, you will also have to deal with the problem of supporting it, and then ensuring their responsible disposal (i.e. not in the village organic waste dump) when they do reach the end of their usable lives. None of this is trivial to accomplish.

We are getting a lot of questions about the knob.

Here is some info to avoid any confusion:

The concept of the knob made of concrete is fully inspired by DIY Perks. But we are added a lot of perks, like:

- Open-source Arduino-compatible firmware so you can add your functionalities and light effects;

- The audio is controlled with the HID library instead of potentiometer; spare time - There are one audio input and two outputs that can be switched with the hardware switch;

- Bonus option is you can use it as a scrolling knob;

- The audio lines are connected to the microcontroller and you can add light effects relative to the sound;

- It is 3d printed and we also added a 3d printable model of the mold for the concrete part;

If you are interested in buying one of the samples please email us, we'll try to figure something out. This way you will help us understand how desirable the product is.

Thank you and Have a nice day ;)
