You _can_ use only git but you get into several problems if you are in a team larger than one.

Sharing code requires the git server and open network ports on your development computer. With non-static IP you can't point to your peer's computer without needing to change the remote settings every time you sync.

Basically, for convenience, you will need a git server accessible to your team to sync up code in a 1-many fashion instead of the many-many raw git. Github/gitlab provide exactly that with added features on top. They differentiate by the added features only.
Last commit was just a simple bugfix in documentation. The last juicy commits were in december 2019 and https://github.com/perkeep/perkeep/graphs/code-frequency makes the impression that activity has slowed down in 2019 significantly. Maybe they reached the point of good enough, but the high number of open issues and mergerequests is still problematic.
One of the most mind bending realizations (to me) from human history is how unremarkable sapiens were, relative to other humans, for most of our history as a distinct species.

YNH proposes a fascinating theory about sapiens' ability to break "dunbar number" social limitations and form larger tribal groups... but he proposes a relatively recent date for this. For 250 out of the 300ky we existed, we did not have this distinction.

Meanwhile, the number of species that co-existed with sapiens is a tentative 7 or 8. At least 3 species are very different. Small brained, semi-arboreal. Homo Naledi represents the (arguable, but I don't see another option) first known mortuary practice... previously thought to be a Sapien invention. Another species may have crossed a sea, somehow.

Earlier generations of paleoarchaeology had encountered similar weirdness with neanderthals. It seems that neanderthals and sapiens shared a lot of culture. Material culture (tools, art..) cross species barriers and spread just like it does between sapien populations.

The memetic origins of modern sapiens isn't just inherited from our sapien ancestors. Memes jumped species barriers. Prometheus may have been a hobbit.
A slope and a crane scale could have been relatively cheap and I'm guessing estimating the friction would be more accurate than making assumptions about the tire wall strength.

People who major in humanities do get jobs. I know a ton of them--albeit mostly from good schools. And they're not in retail or whatever. There just isn't necessarily the clear career path that there is with, say, a CS degree and the entry salary is probably not nearly as good.

A PhD in English lit or whatever basically only makes sense if you want to teach and that's not a great track these days.
The history, traditional nature, and arrogance of the medical profession has much to do with this.

"Ethnic cleansing is continuing in the federation."

That's a lie.

Perhaps, you are confusing Russia with Baltic states. Share of all ethnicities with exception of the titular nations has dramatically dropped in these countries since they gained independence [0], [1], [2].

Considering that Estonia was first to be declared Judenfrei [3] with the support of the titular nation, it is not at all surprising.

Nowadays NATO praises Latvian Forest Brothers (former Waffen SS members) as freedom fighters. [4]

Ask HN: What will Arm Macs mean?
I'm trying to get a sense of how significant the transition to Arm will be. The spectrum of possibilities seems extremely wide. Some say it will be a massive performance gain, others say just an incremental jump.

The benchmarks of the DTK Mac Minis that leaked this week reveal relatively unimpressive numbers, but of course don't reveal any of the true story — it's a limited machine, it's not the machine that will actually ship in a year's time, it's not even the chip that will ship with that machine etc etc etc. It tells us something, but not much it seems.

I'm just trying to get a sense of what the Arm Mac future might look like. When I watch Youtube videos on my current Mini and the fan spins up almost immediately vs on my 3-4 year old iPad where there isn't even a fan, I feel like the performance gain has to be massive, not just incremental.

Most people think the transition will mean faster, cooler Macs. But are we thinking like 10% faster? 25%? 50%? Think actual battery life in laptops will jump from ~4hrs to 8? 10?

I keep hearing that this is a big deal. But just how big?
I work in systems engineering, automation, devops and that kind of stuff.

I've seen colleagues in development at other companies do this daily standups and all this scrum thing.

From the outside it really looks like somebody constantly asking "are you done yet?" And pressuring people into delivering. It really looks like something invented to serve companies and management more than developers.
Changing the Interview Process During Remote Working
Not calling yourself a programmer when you are one was always bad advice. The "high priced peon" thing was never about the profession, and always about the employer. in the 90s there was a generation of in charge people who really didn't understand the value of systems-thinking, problem solvers who were used to working with huge amounts of change.
Thank you for the visual write-up. You've named and described something that wasn't even aware of - how I came to develop my best functionalities. Initial work in a half-dreamy state, and clean up later on. Probably more of a holistic, rather than analytical, approach to design.

The secret might have been, all along, wake up late, arrive at work shortly after without doing much in between[1], and start designing already while commuting.

Notably I've been able to achieve a little bit of the same while half-falling asleep, with the added caveat that it requires jotting down good ideas for the next day. And they may be not quite discernible the next day.

Bears repeating - not quite the best code, but certainly the best functionalities.

In literature, I recall physically squirming during the sequence in Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle when our protagonist had some bladder stones removed sans anaesthesia.

And more recently, reading a thoughtful review of the BBC comedy series 'Quacks' from 2017 - where they described breathtaking advances in medicine around 1840.

Things went from "Let's cut this off quickly enough that you don't die from shock" with a 20+% chance of dying from the truly agonising operation meant to save you -- to a few decades later when they'd mostly worked out how to safely knock you out, carefully operate, and were aware of germ theory & sterilisation procedures.

> Why is spontaneous order desirable? Pandemics are spontaneously ordered too.

I don't think it's a question of what is "desirable", but rather a question of what is inevitable.

Sure, bacterial/viral/parasite outbreaks are part of natural systems, and have their own spontaneous order, but the way their host systems react and respond is also a manifestation of spontaneous order.

In modern society this is true whether we're talking about planned/centralised economies or more laissez faire ones. I.e., even in a relatively centralised society like China, grassroots decisions and actions still play a highly significant role in overall activity, including in the pandemic.

It's a subject of ongoing study and debate as to the effectiveness and efficiency of centralised attempts to control organic processes.
I understand this perspective, but I find it personally hard to relate. Our ancestors regularly got eaten by lions and died horrible, gruesome deaths.

The bubble world of modern society lets us compartmentalize and brush these disturbing thoughts away, because unlike our forebears, we typically don't encounter these ordeals in our daily lives. But anyone can still be dismembered due to traffic accidents. Death and pain are still very much real. It's just slower and lower probability.

My second reaction to this is that I don't want the censure desired by others to be applied universally. I can appreciate that HN might not the the appropriate channel for this type of information, but I don't want to live in a PG-13 world everywhere I go.

But I haven't personally dealt with any major traumas, so perhaps I don't have the proper context to weigh in.

IUD procedures are actually awful, it involves a speculum, a needle to the cervix, and a device for spreading it to insert the IUD. They last 3-10 years depending on size, and are not risk free.

You can’t side load something by clicking an OK button, you have to put your phone into developer mode and click a “trust this computer” dialog on your computer AND also click ok in the browser.

And yes, if you have a continuous integration system building your binaries in the cloud it is helpful to be able to install them without going through a damn store process. You are installing your OWN apks that you compiled with this extension I’m talking about.

It's okay to argue that someone should go to jail. It is definitely not okay to demonstrate a threat via 18th century public execution devices.
Or, as happens a lot in no/low code but also in code-heavy (normal) development is that this 'corner case' feature is just taken out of scope. That eliminates it too as well as a technical solution does.

Basically; you can run a rather medium sized company on google docs or ms office or a bunch of trivial crud apps hacked in php/AD; I know rather a scary amount of companies that do work like that. They are not the biggest companies (I know of at least one that has well over 150m revenue/year for the past 20 years; most others are smaller) but they also spend almost nothing on (that kind of) IT and it works. The corner cases are removed from the business process instead of hacked into the IT flow.
They're measuring a change in -- self reported -- symptoms to evaluate a medicine's usefulness.

If SSRIs primary function is increasing indifference, a personality inventory on sadness will still turn up as improved if the patient cares less about it. Saying that this is a treatment of the symptom is confounding effects and could pave the way for decades of poor science. And that's assuming that the data is interpretable in the way that they think it is and that it's not more akin to fMRIs.

Ah yes, fatherhood will change a night owl. I've made the adjustment
for the same reasons, went from sleeping 4am-10am to 930pm-4am (extra half hour sleep!) and while the first two weeks are rough, it's been smooth sailing since. You can do it. The 4am-6am is just as magical as the 2am-4am was for me. I'll skip breakfast until after 6am so I can jump right in it.

That being said, I still plan on going back to being a night owl when the kids are grown.

The organisation is called "Abolish The Now" and they want to abolish (not just defund) the police, close all prisons and end Amazon.

The article and quotes from the organisers say that the target is the company, no one is calling for Mr Bezo's head (at least using words).
No, the 0.1% are definitely not the majority, they are by definition a tiny minority.
A "much more objective" definition is still subjective. Some people consider the fourteen words "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children" to be a threat of violence, others consider it to simply a neutral statement. Some people consider wearing MAGA hats to be a threat of violence, others simply a form of patriotism. Was Trump making a racist, violent threat when he said "when the looting starts, the shooting starts," or just prosaically supporting law and order?

If it can be argued that one can apply a test of reasonableness as to whether or not a statement constitutes a threat of violence, then it should be the case such a test can be applied to hate speech. There's a risk of abuse involved in both cases, yes, but there is always a risk where the interpretation of language for political ends is involved.

Looks cool. Some random thoughts that may or may not be of any use to anyone:

- It looks like postMessage is the communications channel to use between host and portals and vice versa, which makes sense to me.

– Looks like it'd be trivial to use portals to create an SPA-like experience without having to give up on multiple independent pages. The SPA-part would be aggregator pages that use postMessage to communicate and coordinate, but it's unclear what the performance implications of this would be. Are portals meant to be lighter weight than iframes or are they entirely new browsing contexts and therefore just as heavy?

- Can hosts inform the styling of portal pages, beyond the portal page recognizing that it has a host and therefore switching style sheets? I guess you could do this with postMessage, but I mean are there plans to formalize styling and style boundaries in some way, perhaps not unlike web components?

Verification is only one part of the problem. The other is communication.

I emailed the professor who did the research and asked about 660 vs 670:

"Yes I am aware that the 670nm LEDs are hard to come by, they are also rather variable between batches which has caused a lot of problems for us as we now have to test extensively. I think 660nm will work. Question is, will it work as well as the 670nm? I suspect not. But also I do not know if this can be compensated for by longer exposures etc etc… There are a lot of variables here that we do not know about"
Well it works in my experience so I will stay on that side. Can it be scientifically proven? Probably not since it's not measurable. But if it happens to work for you - your experience will be far bigger than any proofs.
