Need to play the "Blob" song by OpenBSD.

https://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#39

> Blob was popular at school he was helpful too / He could get your motor runnin' / with a drop of goo / He was givin' it away never charged a dime / But by the time he graduated / Blob was business slime!

> He was a blah blah blah blah blah blah / blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah / blah blah

> He's givin' you the Evil Eye!

> Now everybody had it / they was drivin' around / They was givin' up their freedoms / for convenience now / Blobbin' up the freeway, water black as pitch And somehow little Blobby was a growin' rich!

> He was a blah blah blah blah blah blah / blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah / blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah / blah blah

> It's linkin' time!

> Now it was out of control / n' fishy's came to depend / on Blobby's Blob Blah, seemed to be no end / Then his empire spread and to their surprise / Blobby been a growin' to incredible size!

> He's a blah blah blah blah blah blah / blah blah blah blah blah blah / blah blah blah blah blah blah / blah blah blah blah blah blah / blah blah blah blah blah blah / blah blah B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b

> Then along came a genius Doctor Puffystein / And he battled the Blob / who had crossed the line / He was 50 feet tall — Doctor said "No fear" / I got a sample of Blob I can reverse engineer!

> But it was too late! / Blob was takin' over the world! / He wants your video! / Ya he wants your net! / He wants your drive! / He wants it all!!

> Somebody help us! / Noooooooo!

> NVIDIA! / Intel! / Atheros! / 3-Ware! / VIA! / ATI! / Broadcom! / TI! / Myricom! / HighPoint! / Adaptec! / Mylex! / ICP Vortex! / and IBM!

> Takin' over the world!

I was referring to GP's reference to carry reciprocity.
Is it? I heard from people who took it that it looks more unpleasant than it really is.
Thank you for the kind words, I'm happy you find the tips useful. I stopped experimenting with native-comp in OSX for now. Sadly, I have only one Mac. Every attempt to compile it takes way too long, and getting Catalina running in VM is similarly challenging. But If I learn anything new I will definitely try again, and of course I will keep you posted.
Yes. Any one against your interests is a shill.

I also will enjoy the merging.

I don’t understand your last sentence. Facebook already controls most messaging.
A back of the napkin calculation says 60m should be about 62.5m at that velocity. I'm not sure where that came from either.

edit: 60.2, forgot to square the ratio.
I used to read how OS/2 had a niche running ATMs long after the general public had lost interest. Wonder if that's still the case. I almost think I may have seen one crash and display a Windows CE screen once.
I have a question in regards to voter fraud mitigation: Exactly how would you ensure a person or identity is not deceased? We received a mail-in ballot for my grandmother the other day and she passed away in 2017.
> where did they get '100 minutes'?

It's phys.org. Don't expect them to actually check the math. They're way off.

> I'm not sure what affect the black hole itself would have, maybe that makes a difference?

No, gravitational time dilation due to altitude above the hole is negligible for this case; even the distance of closest approach is still 215 times the horizon radius of the hole.
I live in India.

> There is data on what is being grown in various areas but not fine grained enough or updated often enough for our purposes.

Right? Do you think farmers would self report that data in exchange of getting real time data from other farms? Would they care about recommendation on what to grow and pricing?

There are lot of groups for techies online and self reporting channels but I haven't found any good ones for farmers in india. Can you list them for me if you know about them?

I would love to talk more. Email is in the profile.
> 98% of the people at area 51 (admittedly a lower percentage than most events) were completely normal,

Is it "normal" now to go to a place where conspiracy theories suggest the government is keeping alien remains and try to storm its gates?
Well, he has according to the article.
> I find it really fascinating to think that when 60 minutes pass on star S62, on Earth 100 minutes would have passed in the same duration.

It doesn't; phys.org is way off in their math (if they even bothered to check the math).
On the upside, specialized insurance companies tend to be pretty thorough in managing their risk of paying out. Meaning that third parties will probably have a hard time operating a counterfeit scam on any scale, once an insurer pays out all the others will find out and refuse to underwrite. Insurers would likely also require a proactive anti-counterfeit program for their larger clients.

I’m not agreeing with the premise but MIT’s disavowal of Star Simpson when she was arrested in 2007 could be evidence.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Simpson
The problem with git is not that it's particularly hard to understand, it's that it's the wrong level of abstraction for day to day dev tasks. Git is a great data structure with an arguably bad CLI wrapper. What's missing is a layer of workflow rules specific to each repo. What names should branches have? What are the rules of engagement for PRs? Are rebases preferred over merges? Git doesn't care, nor should it. Yet there's more to creating a branch in a structured dev team than merely typing `git checkout -b new-branch`
When I google "define jealous" and "define envy", I read it the same as Homer. I think it's one of those pre-internet "facts" people learned in school.

If you're not aware, "literally" also now literally means "figuratively".

It's memes all the way down.
Isn't it obvious ?
Dude, you might be a lizard.
> is this star likely to be "eaten" in the near future

It wouldn't seem so. The distance of closest approach to the hole is still 215 times the hole's horizon radius. The star's orbit will, over a very long period, decay due to emission of gravitational waves, so eventually it will fall into the hole, but not any time soon.
I have a ridiculously bad back (as does my father) and have developed a large variety of tricks to minimize pain. One is I sleep on a maximally firm futon. When I go on trips, if the bed I’m sleeping in is too soft, I lay a blanket on hard wood and sleep on it. I sleep very well this way. A slab of granite would be fine as a bed.

If I was ever put in a dungeon, at least I would sleep soundly on the concrete floor!
I think there's a great case for a browser which defaults to Reader Mode. Reader Mode is always a better experience when it works. And then build up from there.
Huh? Biden agreed to 3 debates and Trump asked for a 4th which Biden declined.[1]

Without getting into the political aspects of this issue, I really appreciated the sophistication of this article. The author was able to provide a nuanced perspective that generalized into a meta-commentary about media and culture in general.
For instance, the author's point that US based media/commentators should consider how their Chinese counterparts are talking about the issue is really important for understanding this issue and similar cross cultural concerns, and sadly it is all too often overlooked.

Ha! Love how this is downvoted.

Trump could cure cancer and HN would fault in it.
This is a major aside, and maybe I'm alone here, but I really dislike this common trend usage of the term 'keto.' Real ketosis is almost impossible to achieve in adults; virtually no one who thinks they are in ketosis actually are.

What people don't seem to realize is that real keto diets have strict limitations on protein intake, as your body just breaks protein down into glucose. I believe it's something like 85% of your calories each day need to come from fat, not protein.

Luckily, it's actually a good thing that people aren't actually in ketosis. It's an extreme diet developed as a treatment for epilepsy, and it can be very hard on your body's systems. The circulating ketones turn your blood acidic, which starts leeching out calcium from your bones. A lot of people get their fat from sources high in saturated fat (animal fat), which is bad for your body long-term. And with no real fiber intake, your gut flora will suffer. I don't believe a single nutritionist recommends real keto for adults trying to lose weight.

For sure most of us could stand to reduce our carb intakes a bit, but our bodies literally run on glucose. We have evolved to survive on carbs, it's okay to eat them! The healthiest countries in the world eat LOTS of carbs. [edit: 'lots' meaning, a high percent of their macros each day, not lots as in large portions] I in general dislike HuffPo as a source, but a quick google found this which I thought was an interesting read: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/japan-healthiest-people-in-th...

Now on the otherhand, I love IF. I used it without knowing it had a name to lose ~65 lbs at the end of highschool. I think it's super effective and what I recommend to others who ask for advice.
I totally get that. And I'm not asking you to argue with me about the price for a head of garlic. You're saying "I wrote a book on how to build a boilerplate SaaS application." I'm thinking "I have a couple application ideas I'd like to sell as services. I wonder if this book could help me. Are my ideas like what this author has built before?" And I'm finding nothing to guide me on your page.

For example, one of the things the application I'm imagining needs to do is send people text messages to remind them about appointments. That feels like a very "boilerplate SaaS" thing. But I can't tell if that's part of what you're selling here or not.

For another example, my app would need to send mobile push notifications. That also feels like boilerplate SaaS and I can't tell if your book covers it or not. It could break either way based on the outlines you list.

Your terms page just says "(5) We use Stripe to securely process payments. We do not offer refunds."

If I spent $200 on your book and learned what I wanted, it'd feel like a wonderful purchase. If I spent $200 and it didn't teach me the things I was seeking to learn, it'd feel like a terrible purchase. Since I don't want a refund to enter the picture anywhere, I'm trying to figure that out in advance :)

I apologize if this discussion is unwelcome. I'm mostly engaging it because I am actively seeking to purchase reading material on this specific topic, so talking about it in detail seems relevant and helpful here, as you are, at least superficially, seeking to sell what I am seeking to purchase.
It's not for that, it's for giving people with prestige more prestige. The more irrelevant the work is, the better it is for its real purpose.

Snowden's powerpoint decks clearly implied that NSA had tapped Google's transatlantic fibers. But it also seems to suggest that they weren't getting access to Google data from Google, because if they were, they wouldn't need to grep for some guy's email address in a packet capture and display it as a hex dump. Some NSA guy thought it was a big enough accomplishment to document in a presentation that they had managed to grep for gmail.com and surface one pretty useless RPC body, which tells me that their access to and understanding of the data was very poor.

I have a chapter in the novel I'm writing set in Hiroshima the day of the bombing. One of the aftermaths of the bombing was fire tornadoes. I didn't know how to describe them (and had envisioned a whirling cone of flames). Seeing video posted of this (it never occurred to me that I'd ever be able to see video of fire tornadoes) is really helpful in adding detail to that chapter of the book.
While is was probably a factor, I believe it's also because NVIDIA refuses to let Apple modify their drivers to push their Metal API.
If you don’t like clocks then the nicest earth experiment are free electron lasers. They basically rely on length contraction to create coherent light waves (you accelerate electrons until magnetic undulators are spaced at target wavelength due length contraction). You can dial whatever electron speed you want and get corresponding wavelength (although no greater than the at-rest spacing for obvious reasons) and it all perfectly matches relativistic prediction and works well/incredibly reproducible.

If there was an infanticide of OpenCL, Apple (the original creator of OpenCL) was at least as responsible as Nvidia.
This is clickbait fake news, created by taking a statement out of context.

What actually happened is a he-said-she-said situation between the Democrats and Republicans with the new covid relief bill. Democrats came in wanting $3.4 trillion dollars, Republicans aren't willing to pay that much and said "we'll talk if you bring it down to $1 trillion".

According to the Democrats, they did and the Republicans still refused to talk.

According to the Republicans, they only went down to $2 trillion and are refusing to go further.

The post office funding was only $25 billion (of which, $3.5 billion was for the mail-in ballots). Trump isn't against this. He wants the relief to mostly go to the people, not as bail-out money to the states with funding issues (which were having issues long before the pandemic, and are now just trying to use it as an excuse to get free money).

The original context of the statement everyone's railing on was just part of than explanation of the situation, not any statement of motivation.

The original audio people got in an uproar about: https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1293896544668782592 (it's 29 seconds long and there's no context, he's just explaining that the stalled bill contains the post office funding)

Here's a statement Trump made later explaining the above: https://www.cnbc.com/video/2020/08/13/trump-on-funding-the-p... (between 2:35 and 3:15, Trump is explaining what he's actually against - and it's not the post office)

And finally, some real reporting from just before everyone started blowing up: https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2020/08/12/trump-co... (and a no-paywall archive: http://archive.is/6dEi9 )

There is nothing in Snowden's leaks to support this conclusion, much to suggest that it is false, and Google flatly denies cooperating with the NSA in clear, non-weasel-word terms.

https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2013/06/what.html
> A lot of people believed Snowden's gross misreading of the documents he leaked, and that misreading paints a picture of deep state intelligence agencies run amok illegally spying on Americans. Of course, any literate person who reads the documents understands they don't support that picture

On the other hand, the intelligence community IG report mandated by the FISA Amendments Act that leaked and was published just after, and almost certainly because of, the publication of the Snowden leaks did paint such a picture. So, you know, there's that.

Of course, while much less detailed a picture than the IG report, so did the whole trickle of official revelations and leaks leading up to the FISA Amendments Act, which overtly sought to both legalize some of and control other mass surveillance, some of which was publicly acknowledged and more of which had to have been briefed to members to have motivated the act.
I sure did forget, thanks for the catch.
Sure, the most important one. Hasn't invaded any new countries.
I know a couple of folks who transitioned thusly, retained their trans friends and continue to hang out in the community. For one, I was present during one's "de"-transition (it's just a transition). It went fine, because the community I know is supportive of how folks identify their gender. They talked about not feeling right for a few months, later announced that their pronouns were changing, so we supported them when they felt off and changed pronouns when asked. It was a fairly simple matter, really. It's not uncommon for trans / nonbinary people to experience fluidity over short or long time periods, and "de"-transition is on that spectrum. No biggie, the world keeps turning and we're there for eachother.

Notably, I've heard one such person say something along the lines of "well, no, I'm not cisgender, I transitioned twice so I'm definitely trans." Labels are pretty silly that way.
How do you tell a board game is counterfeit?

I’ve almost been exclusively using the GitHub Desktop client as my primary Git Tool and I’m much more comfortable with git now and helping people out. Merge conflicts were super scary, but with VS code markers, it’s a breeze. The desktop tool also makes sure to fetch origin first. If my commit is incorrect, I just use the “revert” button and it lets me fix things. There are a few things like renames and branch deletes that I use the shell for, but I’m happy and more confident in using git since the desktop tool is effective. One thing I hate is the pesky .DS_Store on Mac. No matter how many times I ignore it, it just wants to be a part of my commit.

Note that the two commands are not in general equivalent. Try `git add some-modified-file`, then change some line of the working file just "added". `git diff HEAD` will show the new change, whereas `git diff --staging` will not.

Amazon has been trying to play a parallel game for a while - from one side, they are a brand name store, with their own brands (Amazon Basics), they own loyalty club (Prime), and so on - they even own physical stores and a grocery chain now. On the other hand, they pretend to be a neutral marketplace that has no responsibility for any goods that are sold there and just renting out the space to independent sellers. It is a smart game, as they can resell all the reputational benefits of the established store brand to the tiny sellers who would never enjoy the same reputation, without actually spending the time to vet the suppliers and take responsibility for the goods being sold, as the brand name store would have to. However, looks like the courts are not buying this game. Which makes sense because Amazon not only does not separate the marketplace from the brand name store - they actually make as much effort as possible to mix both up, making distinguishing between goods sold by Amazon and goods for which Amazon bears zero responsibility quite hard to distinguish.

Hello “Hello World”
What? Citation very much needed.
> For example, warming itself has been highly nonuniform. It's not that every day, every location on earth is X degrees warmer.

What is happening is this:

For a location and a time somewhere on earth plot a curve depicting the probability of it's temperature. The highest point in the middle is the average, typical temperature for that day, but of course there are less probable outliers left and right, like in a normal distribution.

What climate change does is

a) it flattens that curve, meaning more varying temperatures, unusually hot or unusually cold days, become more likely and

b) it moves that entire curve to the right, so that the average overall temperature becomes hotter, even though there are more cold outlier-days than before.
