One of the episodes of the Netflix documentary series "Unwell" gives a very interesting overview of bee sting therapy. One doctor talks about its effectiveness against arthritis, because the body releases cortisol and analgesics in response to the bee venom, which explains why people with arthritis feel better.

However, the next point made is that a more straightforward way to achieve a similar result would of course be to inject the cortisol directly, instead of provoking this response by the body by injecting toxins first.

Even if it's not Rossi, whose design has been years in the making, I think a copycat is most likely here. Rossi's wing operates at 4000+ feet and 189mph, which is comparable to jets slowing down on long final. Those hobby jet engines are very expensive but off the shelf, and anyone can build a wing in their garage. The FAA would classify it as an aircraft (already has), and would like to talk to this operator.

I think you can rule out the multirotor bathtubs for now.

It would seem silly not to include ads based on the text string the user searches. Even without tracking/personalization those are insanely valuable.

You're passing because someone is attempting to help people with mental health problems? Perhaps the problem is with you, not the warning.

Why? Human languages are also case-sensitive (e.g. 'moon' and 'Moon' have different meanings).

Nowadays, casual users rarely enter filenames by name, and for output, case-insensitive filesystems are still case-preserving (and users expect that).

> Losing the ability to have two differently-cased filenames in the same directory doesn't seem like a great loss.

It is not really about this ability, it is about plenty of direct implementation and usability issues that it causes, like:

- it makes everything encoding-dependend (which complicates e.g. handling of mixed encoding filenames and filenames with invalid utf-8 sequences)

- interoperability with case-sensitive systems (unpacking archive containing files differing in case)

- backward compatibility (new unicode version adds new characters and their case mapping)

Considering that case-sensitivity is not the only such issue (there is also different unicode normalizations and homographs) it seems to me that it make sense to have FS code and low-level utils encoding-independent (and therefore case-insensitive) and do case sensitivity (and perhaps. homograph handling) only in high level user code.

Show HN: Proxyman – Modify HTTP Request/Response by JavaScript Code with Ease

So let's Apple port, build and distribute open source for MacOS. I have no problem with that. Yet I bet it would cost Apple more than the money they do from the license they sell to OS developers.
Four of the twelve the homes on my little street here in Texas are owned by people that used to have substantial businesses in California. They relocated to Texas to escape California bringing hundreds of jobs with them.
I remember practices similar to this, though less extreme, at a sub-manufacturing plant in the auto industry that I worked at when I was younger.

Some people began to get upset and act against it--ie, shut down their machines early to cover the spread. They received some very hard pushback from supervisors, then management. It blew up into a full-blown unionization campaign, with the Canadian Auto Workers union representatives stationed outside exit streets from the plant meeting with employees as they left for the day to promote their position, and the company electing to hand out anti-union pamphlets, put up anti-union flyers all over the grounds (halls, break rooms, change rooms, plant floor), and host meetings where they would slyly threaten to close the plant and move it away.

It got ugly. And that was over a combined ~30 minutes a day maybe. I'd be pretty upset over being held after work for an hour for a search. (I've had that experience in college working for a major chocolate/candy manufacturer but it never took more than 20 seconds. I still thought that was ridiculous to search our bags for little plastic noisemaker boxes of candy breath mints that couldn't cost more than a few cents).
> there is a myFile.txt and MyFile.txt in the directory, she won't have trouble figuring out which one I meant.

Your mom is pretty good at IT, clearly.

In my experience, this sort of scenario with "normal users" will result in one of the following:

- user opens both files and tries to figure out which one "looks better" for the task at hand. If questioned later, they will likely hide this fact to avoid having to admit their judgement was somehow involved.

- user fires back an email saying "there are two files with that name !! Please do it for me, this is complicated !!11!"

Case sensitivity looks like an advantage only to us nerds. There is a reason many systems go all-uppercase-all-the-time, even where they could easily use casing: it's a big source of confusion. Spoken language has no case, after all.

Some strong Chinese xenophobia in this thread. This place is getting straight up awful towards Chinese.

Those are closed, restricted or its employees furloughed due to the 'rona and won't pay nearly as much as selling pictures on the internet. Patreon has the same issues and a different model - less personalized, and you get paid per creation (or per month), instead of the individual sale model that Onlyfans seems to have (based on this article). Not as much space for personalized requests either.
To the best of my knowledge most of the big shops are using “master ships everywhere, in-progress stuff is behind feature flags”.

There are pros/cons to this of course, but if you’re doing any A/B testing or bandit optimization you’re kind of stuck with it in one form or another. If you’re not doing any A/B or bandit then it’s probably a young enough project that you can do whatever you want.
Google ads don’t affect what search ranks. Those are two different entities. And google realllllly wants to get rid of search spam. But it’s insanely profitable to rank, so people try really hard and often beat google.
I wonder about this. If he was off the wing, could the pilots actually see him with their own eyes? Off the wing tip is actually rather far back on a modern airliner. Pilots wouldn't leave the cockpit to look during approach. I have to assume these were reports passed on by people in the cabin. If so, where are the pictures?
> You do understand how what you perceive and what they intend are different things, right?

If the protestors are utterly incapable of bridging that gap it doesn't matter what their intentions are as they are failing to win hearts and minds. That leap you speak to is only a minor baby step. If they really wanted to convince me of the value of their message they could start by not intentionally pissing me off.

This isn't rocket science. This complete lack of common sense on behalf of the protestors typically indicates youth. Everybody else has since either developed a few drops of empathy or moved on to anything more self-indulgent.
Apple are a multi-trillion dollar company, they don't need more money
I agree Apple should make the developer fee a nominal amount for all kinds of developers.

The baseline for a Mac or iOS OSS developer is still someone with a Mac and many hours of time to spend on non-paying work. So we're probably talking about students and the temporarily unemployed in first-world countries, not so much low-income counties.

Seems like a full developer account should be free for the asking for students, IMO.
Ocado are the reason I stopped buying food online. Their customer service is absolutely atrocious.

One example: An order I needed to make dinner for some friends that were coming over just didn't turn up one day. I called close to ten times, each time a different excuse including: "I can see it's just around the corner", "I promise it will be there within 15 minutes", "we can't get hold of the driver", "there was a problem at the warehouse", "the driver was in an accident", etc. At about 11:30pm they finally admitted the driver was just behind schedule, the order wasn't coming and it would be delivered the next day. When it came the next day (~4 hours late) it contained no fresh or frozen items as "Ocado don't re-deliver fresh or frozen items". I guess they don't think it's important to inform customers of that fact. So I ended up with a load of cleaning products and some tinned tomatoes.

This was just one of a long list of terrible experiences. I honestly think it's company policy to encourage their staff to lie to customers. Hands down consistently the worst customer service I've ever experienced from any company.

If they're the best we have I think that industry has some space for improvement.

Hey, I'm Nghia Tran - Creator of Proxyman (https://proxyman.io), which is a native macOS app that allows you to intercept HTTP/HTTPS traffic from your Macbook, iOS, and Android devices with ease.

Recently, we have shipped the Scripting feature that allows you:

- Modify the HTTP Request/Response contents (Headers, Method, Host, Path, Domain, Body, ..) by writing Javascript Code. Imagine that you can do all advanced tools programmatically by JS Code. 10x faster and more productive.

- Built-in Addons and Snippet Code for common tasks: Hashing, Base64, Compression, ...

- Rewrite the Core v2 with Apple Swift-NIO - high-performance more reliable.

Personally, it's one of the proud features that I've shipped. JavascriptCore framework enables Proxyman to communicate between the JS code and Swift code. You can write your own addons and libraries to achieve what Proxyman is missing.

Hopefully, Proxyman could help our work (developer) becomes easier and has more time for family and friends. Welcome all feedback

>It's like measuring code quality by line count.

I don't think it is, at all. And counting clicks isn't a fools game - it's a direct metric for how buried simple tasks are. Do you need 15 clicks to restart the process you're debugging? No, it's one click on the debug window. This is no different.

>"But it's one less click, innit?" If it takes you 10 seconds to find the one place to click or requires such heavy front-loading that it slows down the system on every click, you've already failed. Doing more of the thing that caused you to fail is a hole with no bottom.

Why would it take the nurse 10 seconds to find a button or place to click for an action they've performed thousands of times?

We've already established that new nurses have a training program to get familiar with the system. You don't think they are just hired and then thrown into 'go take care of this hallway by yourself' do you? And whats better - front loading so they can select a patient as they enter the room and let it all load up while getting ready to treat (confirm name, start gathering data, etc), or waiting 5 seconds every single time they click anything? Oops, clicked the wrong thing there - thats 10 seconds to let it load, back out, then select the right thing.

You can argue discoverability all you want - but go stay a week in a hospital and observe the people actually using the software. Watch how 3/4 of the time they're in your room they're fighting with the computer to perform simple tasks. Tasks they know how to do, but take way too long because of the clutter and poor design of the system. Watch them click 15 times through 4 different windows to dispense a medication - which they'll do 8 times a day just for you. Multiply by that by all the patients they're responsible for. Do you see the problem yet?

It feels like I'm saying 'make it easier to use for the people who use it' and you're saying 'no make it shinier so anyone off the street can use it' lol. Maybe we're actually saying similar things - just not aligning thoughts well?
An Unavoidable Performance Regression
I think this is a really interesting point, because I don't think FLOSS is quite the answer, either.

If you just want a dependable service that's going to stay around, and you're willing to pay for it, what do you do?

As you say, anything that is SaaS could be canned/sold/etc. Anything that's FLOSS won't be as much of a service as you wanted, presuming you wanted to pay money on an ongoing basis to have a problem solved in a convenient way.

Indeed. I don't see why people are mischaracterising this ban; it isn't banning software, it's an extension of the concept of a 'commercial embargo' - except now it applies to a company instead of a country.

It's true, but it's a useless thing to say.
Show HN: M3O – A cloud native platform built for developers
In theory, if it's all in a single application's memory and using langauge-native data structures, then you have a lot of power to tailor the data model to meet your application's needs. Barring concerns like object overhead (which I realize is a major consideration in languages like JavaScript and Clojure), you should be able to come up with something that is more efficient than a general-purpose solution like a database without too much trouble. It's really just a special case of the Chuck Moore style, "I coded my own $thing in 1/10 the code and 10x the performance of the popular off-the-shelf option, in a week. NBD, it's easy if you simply choose not to implement any of the features you don't need." thing.

Where DBMSes truly shine is working efficiently with data that you can't or don't want to keep in memory all at once, or for which lots of different clients need concurrent access. The first of those (but hopefully not the third) are absolutely considerations for certain kinds of browser apps, but maybe not something the parent was worrying about.
I can see that, apologies! Just trying to add more context, and I've been idly following what MSCHF has been doing -- but no insight into what the model is.

> Is there a reason why people would want to pay for this OnlyFans content? Genuinely interested.

The same reason people would want to pay for porn, I guess... the difference is that they get some kind of "exclusive" pornography. I see it has become a serious money making gig for some. Making $8000 is no small money for a lot of individuals. Definitely more than the average engineer salary in Europe.
Yes. Developing a state of the art optimizing compiler is hard. If their only choices are developing their own compiler or basing off of gcc and releasing their work, they'd choose gcc.
I've always been of the belief that a jetpack could never exist until flame-proof pants/trousers were made first.
One way would be to allow companies to pay employee's healthcare premiums on the employee's behalf. That's almost like the current system, but still decoupled:

1. Employee buys their own plan from healthcare.gov.

2. Employee can choose to pay directly, using pre-tax dollars. Tax law is changed to that healthcare premiums are deducted from AGI for everyone who pays them.

3. Employee can choose to submit plan documentation to employer, who will pay some/all of the premium on the employee's behalf. In this case, employer gets the tax break. If only partially paid, employee pays the rest and gets to deduct that portion.

Financially, it's a wash either way. It gives the employee control over their health plan, and it changes the 'perk' status of employer-paid healthcare. It also gives time for employers to transition away from the "reduced salary + healthcare premium" model, because they'll be competing with employers who pay higher salary and no healthcare premium. Many employees will probably prefer the higher salary, because it's more flexible and feels better. That transition can occur over time without disadvantaging any employees, because the overall costs and tax implications are the same.
Apologies, I hadn't realised there were a distinction. What's the difference?
From personal experience, most large x-rays are now digital.

Does wikiHow have a patent on ugly clipart and low-effort content?
I guess the cookie banner only shows up after enabling javascript; at least, I never noticed it (reader mode worked fine for rendering the text).

As for the content, I think it's a bit all over the place. You start with references to abuses of vast data stores, and then immediately jump into a technical exposé of personal protective measures, but the introduced concepts have no relation to each other, nor do they appear to protect against the abuses that you started out with.

I agree. I wish NATO alphabet could taught in schools and become the world standard for spelling the Latin alphabet; my quality of life improved significantly after I learnt it (by accident, on a job).
I think the 7th fact is that the Fair Labor Standards Act only requires employees be paid for labor that is "integral and indispensable" to their duties. In hindsight, it really should be something closer to "time spent at the behest of the employer".
