Let's say I'm standing in the aisle at the grocery store, and someone asks me to step aside so they can pass. It takes minor effort on my part — inconsequential but more than simply standing there — but makes things better for them. Is simply doing so a defeat? Have I been defeated? Is saying, "Yeah, I'd move a step or two to the left, no biggie" defeatism because the movement does not bring "measurable personal gain" to my life?

That feels like a sad, thin way of living life.
Technically, according to Cantor, every stretch of coastline has exactly as much as every other stretch of coastline ever.
It's not ageism when it is true. Ism would imply a bias. We all know old people don't have tech chops like young people. It's literally scientific fact that brains get less plastic, lazier, and less adept at learning new things as they age. There's even an adage!

"You can't teach an old dog new tricks!"

The average age of newly appointed judges is 50. Yeah, keep on smokin that identity politics shenanigans instead of statistics and science.
Worrying news. There's a YouTuber - CodysLab (relevent video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sghWcjGYSxY) - I watch that experienced this exact die-back with pinion-pines.

It's interesting to see how a marginal increase in temperature can have huge impacts on the ecosystem, for example incests able to survive where previously they couldn't.

I'd also be interested to see what the impact of a large number of tree's dying out would cause - growing up deforestation of the rainforest was a huge environmental issue (and continues to be).
Given that rMBPs from 2012 and 2013 command a huge premium right now...

You'd basically have to believe that Apple is actually serious about it's non-iOS offerings and is actually committing to perftecting the hardware and software to a degree that we haven't seen in a decade.

Remember when Apple "invented" the trashcan workstation that was going to revolutionize the world of desktop computers? People might prefer to have trusty tech that supports all the software written today and more or less just works instead of incredibly ambitious but half-baked and de facto abandoned tech from tomorrow.

If you take into account that a lot of the impetus behind this transition is so they can reuse their hardware/software stack from the iOS world, you'll see that it is quite a leap of faith to take.
You could always replace the fn body of large parts of your codebase with unimplemented!() (or use the nightly only everybody-loops flag), but I don't think this will have as big a benefit as people would expect. cargo check though is probably something more people should know about.

> Furthermore, because it is self hosted there are several physical machines at different locations which serve as backups and are selected by updating the DNS records, which I believe is incompatible with a basic lets encrypt system.

Sure. But it's not that much more harder to do it. Use something like the caddy server and have it manage certificate deployment for you.

Unless there's a client that you intend to serve that absolutely cannot handle SSL/TLS, I cannot see a reason why you'd want to stick with HTTP. And no, I don't consider IE6 as a valid excuse. You can always use an older version of Firefox on Windows 2k and it'll solve this problem. I honestly don't think I can trade all the above for more compatibility with ancient machines.

> but I am solidly in the camp that if you believe your ISP is attacking you you need to use a VPN for all of your traffic, because injecting ads is the least of your worries at that point.

I don't understand this. If your resistance to switch is to make it easy for anyone with any browser to use your web page, then expecting them to use a VPN because they have a terrible ISP because you refuse to use HTTPS makes their life more difficult. Surely, they don't see this problem with other websites that use HTTPS but now need to go get a VPN service just to use yours. Also, we're assuming VPNs are absolute saints here. Not really true. But even if it were true, a VPN is eventually someone else's ISP. You're hoping nothing and absolutely nothing in the routing topology will ever look at your data or bother to inject into it.

"Nothing technical stops CB from being FM (in many places it is), and SSB is technically just another (improved) form of AM."

No, FM is not allowed, see below.

SSB is basically AM with a suppressed carrier. (i.e. In SSB, Frequency deviation is the demodulated frequency, whereas with FM frequency deviation is the demodulated amplitude.) (You're not wrong in calling it improved, I'm just expanding on how for anyone else reading.)

FWIW, You're not allowed to broadcast music on CB, but that doesn't stop people either.

§ 95.971 CBRS emission types.

Each CBRS transmitter type must be designed such that its capabilities are in compliance with the emission type rules in this section.

(a) Permitted emission types. CBRS transmitter types may transmit only AM voice emission type A3E and SSB voice emission types J3E, R3E, or H3E.

(b) SSB requirements. Each CBRS transmitter type that transmits emission type J3E, R3E, or H3E must be capable of transmitting only the upper sideband with suppressed, reduced or full carrier, respectively, but may additionally be capable of transmitting only the lower sideband, with suppressed, reduced or full carrier, respectively.

A3E or A3EG -Ordinary amplitude modulation used for low frequency and medium frequency AM broadcasting

J3E - SSB speech communication, used on HF bands by marine, aeronautical and amateur users

R3E - SSB with reduced carrier (AME) speech communication, primarily used on HF bands by the military (a.k.a. compatible sideband)

H3E - AM, single sideband, full carrier

But yes, even narrow FM would be too wide at 10-15kHz.

§ 95.973 CBRS authorized bandwidth.

Each CBRS transmitter type must be designed such that the occupied bandwidth does not exceed the authorized bandwidth for the emission type under test.

(a) AM. The authorized bandwidth for emission type A3E is 8 kHz.

(b) SSB. The authorized bandwidth for emission types J3E, R3E, and H3E is 4 kHz.

"Enter the UHF version of CB which allows for FM modulation." That could be interesting, but would be even more line-of-sight than CB is.
Not anymore but until 2012, it was Lotus Notes at my work. Hands down the worst piece of garbage I have worked with.
This presumes that the truth is knowable and you could know it.

Mathematics tells you what is not possible, but it tells you nothing about what exists. Every other discipline is separated from truth by bias in observation. And there are no perfect observers.

So, pushing "truth" is really pushing a specific perception.

That said.. you can fight against "false".
You are talking about the experience of someone who has learned the ribbon for a long time. Of course, if you always use the ribbon, it will be more familiar to you. Just like if you were taught Mandarin as a child it will be easier than speaking English. It has nothing to do with how easy it is to use these two different alternatives.
To most people I would say that it depends on what you want to do with your Mac. If you also want/need to run Windows I would pick an Intel one. If you think you’d be content to live exclusively in Apple’s World I would pick the Arm one as it has the upside of also running iOS apps natively.

I'd start making Edu games with MRTK (mixed reality toolkit) because I believe this platform will be significant in a few years and AR might be the way to reinvent a broken system that is hard to change.

thx for you comment!

actually, if you like our tool to run frequency you may install it to your computer using npm install -g @covidnow/covidnow (or yarn it if you prefer yarn) and run it simply by hitting npm run covidnow ( or yarn covidnow ), this won't have to pull dependency each time.

The idea of monitoring numbers over time is powerful and. the idea of adding arguments is something we are working on now. Actually the live dataset we are using provide historical numbers, we can definitely support this in the future, PR are also welcome.

Noise is a complicated thing. If you're in a neighborhood that's got low-speed traffic and the occasional car engine is what's disrupting your peace, more penetration of EVs will be great. But EVs are also heavy, and cars are getting heavier in general. That isn't going to do you any favors on tire noise. I wouldn't expect the noise coming off of a freeway to change much.
Hahaha. This made my weekend. Thank you.

Was purple.com really that popular of a workaround? I have no idea how I started using it, so now I’m curious how you happened to know about this followup site.
Technically not a slippery slope, just a false equivalency. Renaming a branch and rewriting a project in another language are in no way equivalent levels of effort, so comparing them based on the principle of "no skin off my back" the original poster articulated is disingenuous.

Saying that the two cases are not equivalent is a criticism of the level-of-effort comparison, not a criticism of a particular people-group's subjective suffering.
I'd buy an Intel mac from 2015. The modern ones all have their well-documented problems. The ARM based macs will almost certainly have a small period of instability and incompatibility when they first launch, just like the Intel macs did.
To be fair, psychology is to science as astrology is to science. It’s been defrocked by the reproducibility crisis.
Truths Are No Good Here
Welp, hard to know anything about the value of all this insight we’re supposedly missing out on.

> I do have online banking and a list of contracts but there’s no way for me to figure out how much money I actually have left.

Here's some relatively easy exercises (just arithmetic and basic excel):

1.) Export your last 12/24/48 months of bank transactions (money in, money out) and calculate how much money you spent in that period, and how much money you made in that period. Is it positive or negative?

Tip: If you have a row of + and - entries, you can just sum up the entire column for a quick idea. Still ,it's good to break it down by period, maybe you had a rough year that offsets the others.

If positive: You're making money. This is good, but it's still a good idea to find out how much of your money goes to what. Try grouping your expenses (negatives) per year into things you have to pay (rent, medical etc) and things you don't (restaurants, pubs, gadgets).

If negative: Urgently figure out what's making you bleed the most money. Group your expenses into detailed categories and figure out what you spend the most money on.

"Grouping" is as easy as copying and pasting into different parts of the document. As you start grouping, you'll encounter new expenses that you can't fit into a category, so you can create a new one and improve your overall categorization.

Sure, this takes time, and some patience. But you can definitely do it if you just sit down and spend an hour or so.

Also, remember that while income is important, what makes your poor is your expenses. I would argue that most people in financial trouble can almost ignore their incomes and focus solely on picking apart their expenses, because like my friend's grandma once said: it's not the large income that makes you rich, it's the small expense. Also, most people kind of know their expenses, because they're so much simpler. Expenses are usually complex.

Ask HN: Moving from Cloud to Self-Hosted
My business partner and I are building a bootstrapped B2B SaaS, and designed it from the start with the intention of running it on Azure (or AWS).

The use of Postgres and TimescaleDB is core to the product. But now we discover that Azure's managed Postgres is still stuck on an antiquated version of TimescaleDB, and we've also realised that our compute requirements are much greater than originally anticipated. Aside from the managed Postgres issue, it would cost too much to host at a cloud provider, so we're now considering self-hosting.

The components we need are fairly modest, but we need everything to be highly-available and backed up:

- Postgres
- Blob storage
- Message queue
- Compute

We're struggling with HA for Postgres in particular. I'm looking for advice and OSS solutions that would simplify and give more of a "semi-managed" feel, to help us deploy our own HA stack somewhere like Hetzner.

It's funny how scraping can be illegal yet Google and Microsoft and Yahoo and DuckDuckGo, and every other search engine have a monopoly on it. It's legal for them, because .....? Money money money! Google even hotlinks images for Google images... pretty hilarious stuff.

You could argue not having memory safety when there are tools to do so is insane.
I think we'll see Google pander to whatever administration is presiding over the anti-trust suite. No matter which US party it is, we'll see Google go vehemently against its stated morals in multiple ways including increasing access for security agencies and changing their strategies for political donations. The same crowd that defends them now will find excuses in order to continue to support them no matter what they do.
Hi
Yes,it is a tough market.
What is XR?
It is nice that this has no dependencies, but this strikes me as adding a massive amount of boilerplate than what would be normally necessary due to the flexibility.
I'm pretty keen on buying one of the last Intel MBPs late this year or next year. First-generation Apple products are always buggier than the subsequent versions, so even as a consumer I'd want to wait for second gen. More importantly, as a developer, I'm still deploying everything to Linux on Intel, so I value the ability to virtualize Linux without emulation.

That said, I'm excited about the potential for ARM over time with Apple's performance trajectory, and if Apple holds onto developer mindshare and doesn't totally nerf Mac OS in the name of iOS parity, then there could be a strong halo effect pushing ARM servers and cloud hosting forward. I just don't want to be on that bleeding edge of architecture transition pain.

Hindsight bias is coloring your view of the man.

The article mentions unwashed hands is STILL a problem with physicians TODAY - with all the years of training, knowledge, books, microscopes that can see germs in action and most importantly, hundreds of years of evidence.

Changing people's minds is not easy - then or now. Shaming works way better than just talking. You can see how shaming has helped the cause of open source, black lives matter, pollution... But even with multiple champions, these causes are struggling, not a runaway success as you'd expect.

Compare this man to Richard Stallman - see any similarities? I'm sure Stallman would have been remanded to mental institution if he lived in the 1800s.

Even if this doctor was a giant asshole, I applaud his use of scientific-ish methods - methodologically cutting off unlikelies until arriving at the root cause - unwashed hands.
Are you using Postgres by chance? If so, I'd love to hear about how you deployed it (struggling to figure out a performant, HA setup!)
I drink a lot less. I drink a cup a day now. I used to drink a few a day but I'm better rested and needed less of it now. Quick tip, McCafe coffee is great tasting and a pretty good bargain. I bought it for the cost and kept it for the taste.
I think this depends on whether the "spirit" of an AI representation is independent of the hardware it runs on. The human brain for examples is not independent of it's hardware. Our state of mind is represented by billions of neurons connected with each other. Thus, if our body is destroyed, we die. We could create a clone, but it would be another instance of ourself.
However, if a body (e.g. a robot skeleton) is just a hull of a consciousness, then we can't apply the definition of immortality as stated in the article. Because although each instance of the consciousness would have a limited lifespan, the consciousness itself becomes immortal. The best example for this is the AI Lobsang, a reincarnated Tibetan motorcycle repairman, in the Long Earth novel series written by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter.

> Is it really worth it to consult anymore? Considering some FANG engineers are pulling down $300,000 to $400,000 USD?

Good question. It's tough. Anyone who has 5+ years of experience and works at one of FAANG or Lyft, Uber, Square, Stripe, Airbnb, etc in NYC/SFBA/SEA is almost certainly earning $300k+, yes (probably closer to $400k now).

That being said if you are qualified to work for one of those companies and they're paying you for expertise in a specialty, you definitely have the technical skills needed to earn more as a solo consultant. For example, leading projects in distributed systems as an L6/E6 engineer at Google/Facebook would neatly set you up to start a boutique consultancy like Jepsen/Aphyr.

At that point whether or not you earn more becomes a question of your network, because you have everything else going for you. Very experienced security consultants can also make $500k+ at a 70% utilization rate by charging as much as the larger shops, doing better work and pocketing the spread on the weekly rate.

Speaking as a former consultant who earned more than a FAANG salary at equivalent years of experience: full time work trades off autonomy and uncertainty for lower but relatively guaranteed pay. You're never paid what you're actually worth at these companies, in the sense of value contributed. You're paid according to the cost of labor in your area.

Sorry to ramble, this is something I like chatting about.

which you just did, by quoting US law. FM on CB is normal in other places.
Thoughtful questions like these, and the thoughtful people who ask them, do indeed lead to truth.

My concern is more with intellectual dishonesty and naive, shallow understanding.

An uneducated person who knows he is uneducated has more truth to him than an uneducated person who thinks he knows a lot and holds forth with BS.
> If the US government has proof that this is a security risk, they need to be public and transparent with their proof. Anything short of that and I'm not on board with "a ban".

You don't need proof when the CCP is itself giving you so much evidence. Infact I should be asking Americans as to what is wrong with you guys that you are supporting a totalitarian government? The CCP passed a new cyber security law in January of this year (called the MLPS 2.0) where it has given itself full power to have unrestricted access to any data transmitted or stored within CCP.

“There will be no secrets,” writes Steve Dickinson on the China Law Blog. “No VPNs. No private or encrypted messages. No anonymous online accounts. No confidential data. Any and all data will be available and open to the Chinese government….there will be no place for foreign-owned companies to hide.” [1]

What about foreign investors? It gets even worse!

"It’s exactly as bad as it sounds, and it gets worse. The MLPS 2.0 is supported by two additional pieces of legislation, both of which strip away any protections, safeguards, and loopholes that might once have been used to maintain the sanctity of corporate data. Both went into effect at the beginning of this month.

The first is a new Foreign Investment Law which, as Dickinson notes, treats foreign investors exactly the same as Chinese investors. Although this has been billed as a means of simplifying the investment process, in practice it strips foreign investors of many of the rights they previously enjoyed. Areas of the market previously closed to foreign companies will remain closed.

The second, as reported by Engadget, establishes a new set of guidelines surrounding encryption. Again, on the surface, these seem like they were proposed with the common good in mind. It’s only on closer examination that cracks start to appear." [1]

And you are telling me here that this isn't a threat to the National Security? TikTok is obligated to share your data without even being asked for because of this Chinese law. And before you say that TikTok operates in US and not in China, its parent company ByteDance is a Chinese company. You cannot form a Chinese company without adhering to these laws! Do you really want the US Government to come out and confirm this when China has itself passed such a law?

How do you imagine that copying and pasting works on Android and iOS at the moment?

"There would be changes required" is a very euphemistic way to phrase what would basically be banning all apps that don't use the high-level views in the OS SDK from having clipboard functionality. Funnily enough, if Apple were to come out tomorrow and say "we're removing the ability to cut, copy and paste from any and all apps that don't use UIKit" this website would have a field day tearing them to shreds and smugly posting about "walled gardens".

Convenience, freedom, security. Pick two.
Looking at the code (https://github.com/mozilla/bugbug/blob/master/bugbug/model.p...), they test for any significant words in the code, comment, commit message, tags, etc.

I wouldn't be surprised if language is explicitly included as, for example, a flag in the "data" object. But the model should be able to figure it out by itself otherwise by identifying keywords that only some languages (often) use.
Instead of strings, you could just use binary bitmaps and directly manipulate those into text!
