How does a prescription keep it from being swallowed? Do the molecules become sentient somehow and take on the will of the prescribing doctor?

There was and it was called Mercurial. It was exactly the same thing, but designed by ordinary people (i.e. not those working on the Linux kernel). As such, it ended up having less market share than zipped folders with hilariously incrementing segments of numerals in their names.
Genocide? Really? I thought it was part of the HN codex not to read others opinions in a unfavourable way unless there is no other conclusion, but okay.

Deforestation to make way for livestock, along with methane emissions from cows and fertilizer use, creates as much greenhouse gas emissions as all the world’s cars, trucks and airplanes combined.

The fertilizer has to be used for the life stocks food. If you eat 1 kJ of meat vs 1 kJ of the soy that is produced to feed it, there is less water usage [1], less CO2 emissions [2], less land usage etc.

If anything a move away from meat would help earth to accommodate more people. And that is only meat. What if you are able to buy one product that lasts a decade vs 10 that last a year?

This kind of "use the resources more efficiently"-stuff is what I mean when I say reduce consumption.

And that should by the way not be the task for individuals to tackle, we need higher standards when it comes to efficient resource usage, quality and lifetime of products, etc. This is not something that will be solved fast enough by consumers and their wallets.

Of course energy and transportation is a factor as well in all of this. If we don't want to move our planet into " lol maybe we go extinct"-territory, we will have to reduce individual transport and expand public transport and use renewable or otherwise more efficient means of converting energy.

The thing is: doing it later means we would have to do even harder changes. If we all started tackling this 4 decades ago we could have gone with a smooth, gradual change. Now even instantaneous change would be only amount to damage limitation.

The Greenlandic ice is over the tipping point. We cannot unmelt it. And heating 0°C ice to 0°C water takes the same amount of energy as it takes to heat 0°C water to 80°C water. This means thermally speaking our breaks are still working, but they will stop working any moment and we cannot stop them from loosing their function anymore.

The last year of reading up on climate science really made me realize that things are far worse than I thought they were.

>the store model allows you to disable the app and remove the store listing to prevent further distribution

You do not need a store to blacklist a known bad application, you can have the OS do what OSX is doing now(I read on HN about this, I don't run any newer OSX versions)
check an app when it starts against a blacklist.

I agree that a review will catch low level effort of malware and I am not advocating for no official store if is possible users should use applications from the sore or on Linux from the official repositories but if some application is not in the store/repo (maybe you live in one of those countries that ban apps) you can have the option to side load the application.

The statistics for malware on iOS vs Android could be problematic if you don't compare equal user groups, Like a rich kid will buy the games from Steam or Apple store, some poor kid will try to get some free games so IMO we should compare similar population.

My guess is because it's kind of misrepresenting the data. While it's technically true, most of those co-morbitities were things like respiratory failure or pneumonia. So while it's not an outright lie, it's also not a particularly insightful bit of information when presented without further explanation.
I feel you, but the ‘deep dive’ that you mentioned is not a reserved phrase onlh for super detailed, reverse-engineering articles.
Nowadays it’s more and more difficult to find them since writing such article takes 10x of the time compared to standard one, and audience won’t grow, or even shrink(due to complexity and non practicality). I really like them though, especially when they’re written on some niche jekyll blog with atrocious layout - you can feel that it’s been written by a passionate.

Not really. It violates the major principle of clean room reverse engineering. That's why Wine developers are strictly avoiding such kind of situations. It can taint the result with legal problems.

Once you have a decent mental model of git, it works well.
Using git with magit is excellent.

Before I had a good mental model of git, I would've been comfortable with flows like 'add, commit, push' (and the smallest amount of branching from that; 'checkout -b', 'pull').

I’d guess jb775 saw a clip with a conservative lawmaker or pundit making this point. It’s been floating around the news lately. Take a look at the recent argument between Sen. Rand Paul and Dr. Fauci[0]. Essentially republicans are trying to push this idea that the number of infections and deaths from COVID-19 are inevitable and any government intervention can only impact the timing. In other words the area under the curve is constant.

They don’t want people thinking that if action was taken by the U.S. gov sooner (Feb instead of Apr) we would have dramatically fewer deaths and cases, which is probably a more scientifically accurate view but with all the data being so new this debate is ripe for political distortion.

Because the source isn’t a recipe in this analogy it would be akin to buying a cake mix and following the cooking instructions.

A further development of the analogy would be one could try to replicate the cake mix by reading the list of ingredients and using their knowledge of baking and trial an error to replicate it as closely as possible vs getting their hands on the exact formula used by the maker of the cake mix.
Unfortunately Calibre is pretty bad for reading Japanese novels. Every amazon.jp novel I ripped has issues rendering the vertical RTL text properly. Each "page" is a chapter, and you have to scroll sideways on the page to move in the current chapter. Frequently, scrolling horizontally blanks after the first screen. It's a mess. I had to force my books to render in horizontal LTR via CSS to be able to read them.

I'm being completely serious, why would I be joking?
I was looking at this once

One reason they are inept is those guys usually end up doing all the work themselves, for security reasons (you won't tell random people "hey I will run a drug empire, will you help me?").

So there is a lot to do when you need to build the platform yourself from the ground up; plus, you need to spend a lot of time on moderation and spammers and attackers; and, you need to make the platform easy to use, which sometimes goes against security; read any forum for darknet markets and people always struggle with basic PGP usage. (PGP is used for encryption in darknet markets; Signal-like protocols leak way too much metadata.)

Also, people that are good at infosec will not start doing this risky stuff, as they can do something better.

There used to be a market that required PGP in all messages, and users hated that, from what I remember.

I no longer visit forums for this stuff, but look up "dred", darknet market forum.

I always wondered, why are none of the darknets operated from some "rogue state" (like North Korea) or militia-controlled areas, like FARC in Colombia. Or by actual mafias in Russia or Ukraine. But I guess even they are not that dumb and focus on what they know how to do, rather than branching into darknet.
What does 'actual status' mean though? If I'm running a website from a single server, the power goes out and the server goes down then it's kinda obvious. I don't think it's so obvious when you have hundreds of data centers serving traffic to billions of people. If one DC becomes inaccessible does that count as an outage? It'll sure feel like it to the affected users, but the vast majority can still use your service.

You need to draw a line in the sand somewhere, but whatever measure you choose is going to be somewhat arbitrary so I think it's reasonable to have a human make the final call (based on some known criteria).
Outside of the initial stance of wanting to maintain Python 2, I'm amazed at how much of a jerk the Arch distribution maintainer is being to everyone else.

Even locally, on a console, you’ll not get latency (input to visible response on screen) down to 25ms these days.

Some LCD TVs alone can add 40-60ms of latency, and software can add another couple of frames. Often 30hz frames, too...

Which kind of sucks if you grew up on CRTs and arcade games that often managed much lower latency.

But I guess it means that game streaming really could offer a console-like experience if as much non-network latency as possible was eliminated...

You keep using that word, but I don’t think you intend its normal meaning. Let’s take a different example, is home ownership in US centralized? Every reasonable person would say no, we don’t have few large entities that own every home. But you would say “Yes, because if I want to buy a home, the current owner would have complete ownership of that home, and a central entity I have to deal with!” But that’s not what centralized means in common parlance or litterateur.
Ah, sorry, so you're saying it would be normal for a dev to take several of these 4-week periods between delivering anything? You're right, that's not scrum; not delivering anything in a given sprint shouldn't be a big deal (just re-estimate the remainder), but yeah, consistently having sprints where you don't deliver anything would be a cause for concern, and would suggest you're not breaking down your tasks enough.

I definitely wouldn't want to work in a model where you're expected to just take as long as it takes. Integrating a branch that's been going for 6 months is a nightmare; even when it goes well it's immensely stressful. Reintegrating your work back into the rest of the system can easily feel like it's taking "the other 90% of the time" - or even be impossible, if someone else has changed the system in an incompatible way in the meantime. Even if you were regularly merging code changes to master, if you try to release 6 months of work when none of it's ever been deployed to production yet then there's always the sinking feeling that maybe it's all just going to break. Or worst of all, maybe it works perfectly the way you thought it was meant to, but you misunderstood the spec and so all your work is useless.

I'm a bit confused by you talking about an "iterative" plan, because I don't see how you can meaningfully iterate if you're not delivering changes regularly - indeed "iteration" often gets used to mean the same thing as "sprint".

I think during a standup you have to - literally stand up. That's the point. It is mindfully uncomfortable/physical work for both speaker and listener, so important communication gets sort of selected in a darwinian way.

Yes, I can distinguish between a C major chord and a C minor chord. I took piano lessons as a kid and learned some formal music theory.

Note though that I had perfectly normal hearing until my late 30s, and only have an implant in one ear. After my implant operation my brain "knew" what it should be hearing from the implant signal. This is apparently true of many adult CI recipients and the unexpected plasticity of adult brains to adjust to the CI signal is an active area of research.

I think that the typical outcomes for people who have cochlear implants when they are born deaf would be quite different to adult recipients like me who grew up with normal hearing.
179 arrested in 'Operation DisrupTor' dark web drug takedown
Ah, I think I was seeing a slightly different problem; the problem I saw was that when the OS and compiler start to be tied together tightly enough that changes to one make it necessary to change the other, so anyone working on them needs both skillsets. Forth helps here since the parts of the language that are "baked into" the implementation (i.e. not just standard library code) are extremely minimal; in most of the Forths I implement, even function definition is itself defined in the standard library.

Needing to avoid diverging from an upstream compiler is also somewhat alleviated by (most dialects of) Forth being suitable for OS development out of the box, so patching the compiler isn't often necessary.

Additionally, it's not ridiculous to implement a custom Forth for each project, depending on its needs, which makes tracking an upstream a non-issue. A Forth implementation is far less code than an implementation of C, Go, etc., so it's not very time-consuming, and the way Forth user code is typically written makes it easy to port code between implementations.
> Why not just say, “the code that the developers wrote”

Because some readers might not know what is the source code. Or they might have a vague idea but they might not understand what it means for the source code to be released.

> I don’t think the concept of source code is inaccessible to laymen.

I don’t think the article claims that. On the contrary; how I see it, the article explains the concept.

Show HN: Trueq.io – A New Q&A Platform for Developers
Over the last 6 months we've spent most of our free time developing our side hustle. It's called TrueQ and is a new Q&A platform for developer.

Of course we know there are a handful of other platforms out there which already do this job, but we strive to deliver a platform which really focusses on its community and gives you a nice UX when describing your software development problem or providing an answer for it.

We have many plans for the platform and are already developing future features which will make the platform more unique. Nevertheless after 6 months of development in complete privateness, it is time to tell other people about it and gather feedback - that's why we're here.

We would love to hear what you guys are thinking about TrueQ and would really appreciate if you help us building a new community by spreading the word and start engaging with us on our platform.

If you're interested about the tech-stack or want to know more about our journey you can read about it here: https://trueq.io/our-journey

I take Escitalopram (Lexapro) for anxiety. At home you can get 6 months of repeats, and it's all pretty simple, however I am now an expat in Europe which makes it that much more painful to get Lexapro.

It's available here, but I hate having to find a doctor to get a prescription. The doctors consultation usually costs about 70-80€ (and they will usually only give you a prescription for 2 months worth).

I have found that it's available from a variety of sources without prescription. Thailand has many pharmacies that will sell you whatever you want, and when I stop there, I always stock up (Pre COVID-19).

Spain as well, the pharmacies are incredibly lax on prescriptions for certain things (they won't sell you anything addictive, but other things are easy). I haven't been back to Spain recently either for COVID-19 reasons.

There are also definitely grey market websites that one can use, much like there are for things like Modafinil, though it's less in demand.

All this for something that I need to keep taking (it's quite dangerous to stop).
