Ask HN: Is it just me? why is “news” so addictive?
I've been offline since last Wednesday, driving and camping throughout northern outback australia (escaping the vid!). I have a second rate carrier and tonight I hear my phone ping for the first time since I left. I've had reception before, but usually only while driving, usually passing through a larger town. This time I'm sitting next to the fire, near a town called Nhulunbuy in East Arnhem, aboriginal land, one of the more remote regions on the planet. I'm on a small red cliff overlooking the ocean, I've spotted a largish croc on the sand below only an hour before, and I can see the entire milky way above me (it's a new moon). As i'm writing this I just looked up and saw a satellite. The sky's been pretty similar the last week, but still it's spectacular. Anyway my phone pings and I pick it up and I end up reading the news and checking HN (for the first time in two weeks .. same old stories). What gives?
> Can anyone explain how the term "Karen" isn't both racist and sexist at the same time?

Because it’s tied to behaviour. Stop behaving like an a-hole and you stop being called a Karen.

You can’t stop being black or a woman.

That’s the key difference.
That's correct. For optical telescopes, you have to physically combine the signals in real time to do interferometry. The VLT can do optical interferometry, and can create baselines as long as 200 meters (reaching nearly 100x the resolution that the Hubble Space Telescope achieves).[1] If you just combine the images from different telescopes, without doing interferometry, you only get one of the benefits of a larger telescope (you can see fainter objects), but you don't get all the benefits (e.g., higher resolution).

Interferometry is much easier with radio telescopes. You can record the waveform at each dish, and then digitally combine the signals afterwards (there is specialized "correlator" hardware that is purpose-built to do this very efficiently).[2] That means you can put receivers anywhere (on Earth or even in space), as long as you are able to synchronize the timestamps in the data well enough to digitally combine the signals afterwards. One of the major technical challenges faced by the Event Horizon Telescope, which imaged the black hole at the center of M87,[3] was synchronizing clocks at stations on opposite sides of the Earth. They had to physically bring atomic clocks from one location to another. After they took their observations, they flew hard drives with the recorded signals to a centralized location to do the correlation.

> spending the evening in the maker space until you need to go home

that's the definition of single-minded sadness.

life is so much more. heck, even having a SO that doesn't work for your same employer makes the point invalid. imagine having other more important duties, like having to take care of your parents in their old age or your kids.

what you're describing only works well if you're in your ealy twenties and have not much in your life besides work.
I've coded in C, C++, Ruby, JavaScript, Java, C#, PHP, and messed with Rust and Haskell a little. Go is by far the most productive compiled language I've used, though I've certainly had moments with JS and Ruby that felt more productive.

For me the reason is that the language imposes little cognitive load, leaving my brain free to spend almost 100% of its energy thinking about the problem I am attempting to solve.

With complex languages like C++ I find that I'm spending too much time thinking about language internals and syntax, and with C I am spending too much time doing super low level things. Both these languages also require constant attention to make sure their many built-in footguns do not go off.

Scripting languages like JS and Ruby can be more productive up front, but as a code base matures it becomes harder and harder to feel confident about the code not having hidden runtime bugs. Dynamic runtime typing is technical debt. These languages also run slower, though I have to say JS VMs are impressive.

I have not used Rust enough to comment. Feels like a better C++. Haskell feels like it would be great for certain areas where the provability it offers shines but isn't quite general purpose.

But YMMV. Ultimately I care more about what is written than the language. 'Tis a poor craftsman who blames his tools.

Commercialization in bioinformatics research: why and how
Control is a misleading phrase in that context - it isn't the same sort of control as Murdoch over his empire or the infamous Sinclair Media scripted message.

They aren't the same type of control at all, implying it is deeply disingenuous like claiming beating your kids with a baseball bat and scolding them doesn't make a difference because it is just punishing them either way.
So my anti-procrastination setting kicked in just as I made this comment and now I can neither edit it or delete it. I made the same comment again with proper formatting of the json file.
Yes, HN hit my blog on a 3b+ and that was no issue.
I haven't understood this as a fallacy.

In the "suspicious coin" example, there is an opening assumption that the coin is fair, but it transpires clear evidence to the contrary.

It isn't a fallacy to continue to treat this as a game: it has just become sensible to drop the assumption and treat it as a game where you are unsure about whether the coin is fair (as the second player in the example, in fact, does).
The best way to do this with the current proposal is to write a simple go package in your assets repository and import it. Something like:

package assets // import "github.com/me/myproject/assets"
//go:embed *
var FS embed.Files

package mypackage
import "github.com/me/myproject/assets"
//use assets.FS

Would that cover your use case?

I agree with you. I see you around HN. DM me sometime if you want to talk. Not about Q I hope; I am tired enough of politics as it is and can’t wait for the election to just happen and be over. I only mention it because I believe there’s a link between the downvoting parties and Q, though I can’t prove it in any specific instance.

Will look for citation on research I read the other day showing that #alllivesmatter is almost entirely a reactionary movement in response to #blacklivesmatter original content, lending credence to the theory that it is a small group of people operating a lot of bots to down out #blacklivesmatter, which was supported with data and code from the Twitter API.

So they deserve leftovers and lip service as opposed to help inspire the students to do better and raise the school to a higher "rank"?

I don't get the ranking system either; it's education, it should be uniform, everyone should get the same opportunities and education and their diplomas should be "worth" the same, instead of it being a pissing contest where the higher ranked ones are only accessible to the rich and those in the "in" group. The US is lacking social mobility in part because of this.

Given the evidence of blacklisting and censoring trending Twitter users and hashtags via screenshots of the leaked admin tool, they have a lot of political influence and have access to that tool which can be used to crush anyone or any tweets they don't like. President or protestor.

The moment they censored anyone re-posting that admin tool on Twitter, it tells you that not only it exists but that they also still actively use it.

The title doesn't really relate to its content very well; the concept of taking cold showers has some scientific backing ([1] & [2]), and is also slightly hyped. After taking cold showers and getting some (minor) benefits for some years, the term "cold shower" started to get a positive association in my mind.

This article isn't about showers, nor positive results, making the title quite confusing :)

I've found a lot of value with canonical logging[0] for server-side logging.

Basically, we emit one log per request/response with appropriate severity level (INFO if request succeeded, ERROR if it failed) and the log contains all the interesting information that we care to log. This makes it very easy to track and debug issues at an individual request level, while not having to overly rely on external tools to parse/combine logs to reconstruct requests/sessions.

The other benefit of this is that we can feed these logs directly into log ingestion tools like Datadog and plot graphs, view distributions and set alerts on metrics present in logs.

I tried logged out youtube without initalization and the value just plain wasn't there. Even a bad day for it was far superior to the generic mass market lowest common denominator schlock. Which I suppose demonstrates why old media lost.

Their approach was rather one size fits most with many lowest common denominator. Discovery is a damn useful service which is kind of obvious in retrospect with reviewers and guides being something people pay for.
Everyone raves about the work-from-home deal but forgets that we’ve all only been doing it for a few months - it’s still new and fresh. After a year or so of doing it I think we’ll start to see more mixed opinion.

Personally I’m OK with either arrangement, it’s more about the choice in the matter. The change of pace that comes with sometimes going into an office vs not is rejuvenating. Or even potentially the choice of being 100% remote and living in a different city for a while. Having those options are the real net benefit.

The US SAT I of the late-1990's was far too easy (I only missed one Q with a mis-selected answer, but I'm no genius and didn't study or prep for it one iota (or epsilon, as the case maybe)). Static, multiple-guess Q&A tests aren't able to assess a broad range of orders-of-magnitude of capabilities because of their various vulnerabilities.

Professional Engineer and physics tests that include fewer, open-ended written-response problems that build on each other tend to be more rigorous forms of domain knowledge testing. Some Q&A can be used as a first-pass filter, but it shouldn't be relied-on how the US K-12 under NCLBA leans on excessive multiple-choice standardized testing.

I may have edited too late. He does seem to be an actual fighter and at least for a while under Dave Camarillo, but still very far from being a world champion. Given that he makes a living selling such tricks I think that is a compilation of random training sessions and championship fights intertwined with shots of his face and nothing more.

From what I gather from a short internet search he changed his story repeatedly depending on what sold more. He's either an experienced fighter with multiple world championship wins, or an average guy using his own tricks to win. But his name is not associated with any official leaderboard or championship win as far as I can tell.

As someone who has consistently excelled at amateur martial arts I can guarantee there's no way a world champion gets beaten by some guy pushing him off the lei tai repeatedly even after the same technique was used in every round and with all other opponents. I could knock out almost any "non-trained" person with a single well placed punch or kick, and if they weren't well placed they would still do some temporarily debilitating damage. Yet whenever I had friendly fights with well trained pros, including ones with good results in international championships but no gold medals, I have no words to describe how inadequate and unprepared I felt.

All I'm saying is that the story is not what it seems. Whether he is an actual pro worthy of a gold medal, or some incredible fluke made him fight severely unprepared opponents I don't know. But he certainly didn't win anything because he tricked the weigh-in (that's standard procedure), or because he pushed opponents off the lei tai round after round, opponent after opponent and none of those world class fighters had any recourse.

This is how a fight would look like [0]. You win that by going to a lower weight class and "pushing" only if you are perfectly able to take the hits anyway and are already good. Tricks will get you from silver to gold, not from peanut butter.

I feel like I'm living in Bizarro World. You have to actually have committed a crime in order to be legitimately arrested? Police can't just take your lawful property? Police can't order citizens to "not observe" what is happening? We needed a restraining order to acknowledge this?

It’s both racist and sexist but the people advocating it’s usage don’t actually care about either issue. I think it’s filed under the general hypocrisy that you cannot be racist against white people.

Using a name meant to paint a picture of a suburban white woman is no different than describing someone as a Jamal, Yousef, Goku, Carlucci, Vladimir, Shenequa, Herschel, or Juan. If a news outlet used any of those names to describe a person in a news story they’d be immediately flagged as racist. And yet we see the term used to describe white woman gracing articles on the front page of even the NY Times.

>However, their lobbyists in DC will threaten to give the other guy or gal more money than they’ll give their regular congresscritters if they don’t play ball

The difference between being able to censor whatever unilaterally and having to get a legislator to do it for you could not be more massive.

Having to play the lobbying game adds a huge amount of time, expense and outside scrutiny making it much harder to do bad things.

Sure the fact that regulatory capture is possible and doable at a certain scale is bad but it's infinitly better than bigCos being able to act unilaterally.

It's like the difference between the cops being able to kick down your door on a whim and them having to get a warrant and at least look like idiots on the official record and make other people who share no upside condone their stupidity.

> Compared to that Earth based telescopes seem to have to go through massive efforts to make headline discoveries

That's a function of how the media works. Ground-based telescopes are extremely important for astronomy, and I would even venture to say are involved in most major discoveries. Space telescopes are also extremely useful, but they're also much flashier than ground-based telescopes.

> how would we know about e.g. the acceleration of the universe from an Earth based observatory?

By observing type-Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), for example. Not only is it possible to do this with ground-based telescopes, but ground-based telescopes are the primary way it is done. Most of the SNe Ia observations that went into the discovery of the acceleration of cosmic expansion were done from the ground.

You sound like a white troll. Asians have the highest average incomes because they work the most. White men get more money for the same effort. It's just that Asian men are expected to just work and not socialize much or have a life, otherwise they will end up like the blacks. Basically be obedient to white master and he'll pay you some pennies.

Look at how TikTok and Zoom has been vilified by this country (both founded by Asians). When the rest of the world blocks the services of the U.S., rich, white men with their crocodile tears cry that it's an abuse of "human rights". When the same rich, asshole, white, men do it to others in the name of "national security", its all fair play.

Hello, thanks for reply !

Indeed CF7 and EasySmtp are great plugin. But I would like something easier.

But for example, like I said for easy smtp, I always have to ask gmail credentials from my customer to setup it. And sometimes it's complicate.

And sorry for the explanation about the chrome extension.
It's not clear I see.

It's not an extension to send email ^^.

Imagine you have a static website online with only html/css/js
And you don't want yo have a backend or you don't know to code (to make an ajax call).

I purpose to include a simple js file (one of mine)
And with the chrome extension you can click on your inputs form to settup it.
And that's all.
It's a no code way to have a working contact form without coding and without server or smtp ^^

Maybe with a video it will be clearer

I keep in mind your idea about the extension :D

But like you said, maybe there are no need. I had this need but maybe I was the only one haha.
I am in the same boat, floating the same ocean full of news.

New stuff, head lines, news flashes, breaking news, current events, notifications etc. all trigger some dopamine release and make me feel satisfied.
I have thought about this before. I believe internet lacks enough echo chambers. In real world, people automatically segregate based on their income bracket, community, values, lifestyle, job, family (kids or not?), healthcare, accessibility to various things, etc. People have all sorts of stereotypes and things they expect other people to conform to based on visible factors. This isn't possible online. There is too little information and our stereotypes will never be correct (too big number). It shocks people. In real life, oh that's a catholic person. Of course I would expect them to say this. Too much difference in opinions leads to defensiveness rather than acceptance. You cannot accept 180 degrees but you can accept 10 degrees slightly left.
It's not the social media, it's mainstream mass media who decide to report on "hashtags", memes and viral videos and bring them to the wider public. Lazy journalists who don't investigate facts anymore and only care about trends and outrages and whose "ultimate editor" is now Twitter, as Bari Weiss alleged.
