My thought on this is that a lot of people were already anti-city for various reasons and the COVID shock has provided "proof" that their preference for non city living is best. A large amount of people seem to be unable to accept that others just prefer living in cities or the burbs or rural.
I guess it's part of our social hard-wiring. We can't just accept that we like this thing, we also need to believe that it's the best, and denigrate others who choose a different path.

I miss my public transit commute, my gym, my soccer club, and being able to go out with friends and just come across stuff happening. COVID has actually made it more clear to me that I'm a city person.
Does this really apply to typing, though? To what extent could one suffer from long-term injuries due to the way they're typing? I know one can suffer from repetitive strain injury if they are not using their mouse properly, but does this extend to keyboards as well?
Looking up "mono brain fog", there seem to be a lot of reports of people experiencing neurological symptoms for many months, even years. Symptoms reported are similar - fatigue, brain fog, decreased appetite, some also seem to report anxiety and other similar changes.

But it seems to be rare enough that it is hard to establish a causal link / study it properly.

I wonder if there could be some common cause? Perhaps also common to CFS?

I doubt that. All these estimates conveniently fail to account for the few isolated tribes that still exist to this day, for instance various tribes in Amazonia or the Sentinelese.

Hi HN,

Seems now there is a boom on custom iOS icon packs, but I couldn't find a 1 place where all of them can be discovered. Some people are using Gumroad, someone Etsy and others using their own custom website. So I tried to build my own.

iOS Icons - It's a marketplace where an artist can submit their iOS icon packs and users can find the latest icon packs.

Please share your feedback.
None taken! This is great feedback.
Well, I think that's just a mismatch in your desire vectors. A couple I know moved to Austin and the guy visited me recently in SF. He was just so happy to be able to eat all the Asian food here. I'm like him as well: I'd like a variety of cuisine that is actually simply not available in most places in America. I also want to be close to major airports, live in a highly ethnically diverse place, the ocean, and a general non-authoritarian vibe. If I lived in the Midwest I'm probably not going to be hyper thrilled.

My genuine hope is that people who don't want the things I do go to places where they're happy. Jobs being located where I want to live actually harms my overall QoL.

Anyway, I hope the dot product of feature availability and desire rise for places that are not San Francisco.
Hey there! It is a pretty new startup which builds an all-in-one screen recorder and video editor. It is made to be customisable but still easy to use without any prior experience. Any feedback is highly appreciated, especially from such a great community as HN. Please have a look and maybe give it a try! :)
They are rather tough to kill for the average predator in North America. Heck, there is a reason that knights hunted the things to prove how good they were. When you have to put a piece of metal on the spear to keep the thing from coming up the spear and killing you too, it marks a tough animal.

If I remember right, part of the problem is that they are not great eating. Although, a animal overrunning Texas boggles my mind.
There are also lots of more rural areas within 45 minutes of Seattle, with even lower crime and more space.

If I remember correctly, in ANSI C int is guaranteed to have the maximum value of only 65,535 when unsigned, so basically bounds checking is a must. Of course it's even more important for shorter types like char.
> Do we restrict the community for the individual or the individual for the community?

The question is really: what legal grounds do we have for essentially indefinitely transgressing individual rights?

Surprisingly, by and large, the people who are in a frenzy about "the police" want to invoke near-unconstrained police power (a consequence of states' rights to ensure public safety) to confine everyone to their houses, ban social activity, destroy livelihoods...
Surely you've experienced personally or seen firsthand the following microagression on a regular basis living in the midwest as I have, in a city that reliably votes 85% democrat no less:

"Where are you from?"

"Cleveland Heights."

"No, but like, where are you from?"

implying that this brown individual must surely have wound up from some far flung corner of the world, and that they couldn't have possibly been a native born person.
I think you're confusing multiple separate issues here. Efficiency in production and total amount of production are separate concerns. You don't aim to lower total production numbers by decreasing the efficiency of production.

It sounds like you're unhappy with how much we produce. Not the point of the conversation. Looks like you're just shoe-horning your political agenda into a conversation which is barely tangential.

The bare minimum amount of food we could produce without starving is still more than enough to need very large farms to capture economies of scale.
> The industry is absolutely inefficient when you consider what inputs required: pesticides, seed, machinery, fossil fuels for planting/harvesting/transport, massive government subsidies -- not to mention the depletion of the soils that come along with it. It is not even monetarily efficient: take for example the dumping of millions of gallons of milk to match quotas this past year. It's far from efficient.

> I would not consider something that requires so much input to be "more efficient at feeding a person". It is however a system that is efficient at feeding mass amounts of people -- if you ignore the inputs.

I do agree but at the end of the day all that matters to most people regarding food is the price in the supermarket aisles.

I have fun memories of my SO digging up her father's potatoes and getting back from the garden with 5 of them “damn, that took a lot of muscle to get them out of the ground”. They were really good though. Gertrude Betrand's stuff.

I would say it comes down to a character attribute, and a simple skill. The attribute is curiosity - why does something do what it does, and the simple skill is how to google. That's it. I've seen the most traditionally under-qualified people become excellent, simply by always asking why, and trying to find a answer.

Paying money for a valuable service is commerce, not subsidy.

I love the analogy, but no! First, XSLT is unidirectional and although I have built some tree-like XSLT processing systems, Cambria is explicitly graph-based and bidirectional.

In other words, with Cambria you can build a graph of lenses that describe various data schemas and then translate from or to any of them.

That said, XSLT has different strengths (syntax-aside) in that it is a general purpose templating language with strong functional programming underpinnings.
I'm not so sure people would feel that way. We've already got a multi-stage process, where people vote in primaries, and then in a general election. It's not a full ranked-choice voting scheme, but it's also not just a one-step winner-take-all process.

Nonetheless, a lot of people seem very dissatisfied when they lose the primary. I don't know if they'd feel any better if they lost it in a ranked-choice voting scheme instead.

The successful party is the one that enforces conformity rather than encouraging diversity. Hammering out that compromise is hard, because it means forging coalitions and making people swallow things they've objected to in the past. But that seems to be more effective than pointing to a set of voting rules and saying "You agreed to these, so go out and live with having lost."

> Ryan Smith in the link above seems to suggest error correction will be done transparently anyway, and it won't reported to the OS.

Re-read the article. The 'big risk' isn't attacking humans (tho it's a concern), it's destruction of ecology and agriculture. If you're going to dig up and eat the farmers crops, doing at night is worse for the farmer. And there's another farm 100 miles away. Further, there's nothing in the article that indicates the hogs are less efficient at night. Since hogs already have poor eyesight and extremely good smell, there's no reason to believe night is much impediment.
Serverless is not a strict upgrade to containerized service deploys in any sense.
Actually, they are not. The whole idea of an axiom is part of a theory (formal logic) and that theory has no axioms. Even within the framework of formal logic, there are logics with no axioms, only rules of inference.

It is an interesting (but probably very subjective) observation that the majority of companies with a rare or esoteric stacks hire only experienced devs with the stack and refuse to train them themselves. Maybe it is because they are smaller and lack resources. And on the contrary, in my experience, large companies based on common languages like Java, C#, JS and the like dedicate huge resources for training their junior programmers from the grounds up.
68k is not a long dead ISA. Coldfire (68k ISA based) MCUs are still manufactured and used in products. Yes, NXP is pushing ARM instead now, like everyone else, but there is still hardware out there that needs software.

Companies that are willing to play dirty are the ones that get investment and also are the ones who retain users. They have an inherent advantage over any platform that tries to be moral -- or alternatively platforms that try to be moral have an inherent disadvantage. As long as privacy and respectful user experience is on the bottom of the list of priorities of most users they are the ones who will be able to build momentum, and I can't imagine what could happen to change that.
every day npr trots out doctors and other professionals parroting the (literal) party line stoking continued fear and panic for no benefit to the public, but much benefit to the media itself and their political leanings. being a professional doesn't mean you're immune to propaganda. in fact, a false sense of knowledge and control can lead to greater susceptibility via an elevated sense of self-esteem rather than the humility required to accept and examine wider perspectives openly and critically.

I agree with you. Madison is a great college town, and it's a great place to raise kids, but the social life for non-college adults without kids is... not ideal.

I've been trying to get out of here and move to a bigger city, but the pandemic put those plans on hold. (Madison is a pretty good place to hunker down now, or was before they re-opened the University.)

Centralized industry also makes it much easier to enforce regulations which control disease, and it justifies expensive research on things like pest and research prevention that wouldn't be economically feasible to generate returns on at smaller scales.

Here's a good question- do you think that food-born illness is more or less common in countries that have more centralized their food production?
Perhaps we should stop trying to apply highly reductionist lenses to very complicated problems.
>Why track them and remove?

Because people get their panties in a knot over the idea of loosening other hunting laws enough to let an open season make a difference. As long as it's not ok to just shoot a hog on the side of the road a baseline population is going to exist in perpetuity in rural/suburban areas where property owners don't generally tolerate people shooting hogs off their front lawn from the road.
Thanks, rysqui! Part of what makes it so effective is the fact that there is a large POI database and search engine behind it and not just a set of addresses or geometries.
> Roofs and walls at sun absorb heat and irradiate it later inside the home.

Radiant barriers are a thing, especially in the Sun Belt. Plenty of products that have foil lining, but it can also be done as a stand-alone product: just add a small (rainscreen) air gap between the foil and the cladding.
As someone who deals with pretty intense anxiety often, it’s worth just waiting for more general data.

Physical symptoms from anxiety are real and hard to separate from non-anxiety related symptoms. The current covid/election/general global craziness sets anxiety levels high.

I haven’t caught covid, but if I had I imagine I’d be similarly freaking out over every anxious feeling via hypervigilance.

None of this means that there aren’t real long term effects, but it’s worth being skeptical in context of anecdotes.

You can find anxious people going down rabbit holes of vague symptoms for basically every possible disease. People are not able to adequately assess themselves.
Would a bill really eliminate the concept altogether? It might make their business more expensive in certain parts but there are multi-billion dollar criminal empires that invest in things like their own submarine tech. Do you think e2e encryption isn't something they'd develop in-house & resell to each other?

At best it might help catch some street level crime but any serious organized crime (which arguably is a bigger problem because it's organized) will have the tools available anyway. Consider it this way. There's already a black market for security exploits with exploits frequently costing far more than they might actually otherwise be worth (there's a limited time utility before the exploit is patched). How much do you think e2e encryption would cost & do you think there's not going to be buyers & sellers for this? Especially since, unlike exploits, this is an infinitely distributable solution. I can sell to as many buyers as I want without risking my revenue stream.

On the technical side we've observed what happens with this stuff. We'd be one Snowden-style leak away from all websites instantly becoming vulnerable. Do you not think that might be valuable to adversaries of the USA?
1. Communication Skills - Clearly understanding what others are saying and expressing one's opinion in a polite, and respectful manner is a skill one must master. Most of the time it's better to listen first rather than talking first.

2. Prioritization - Learn to prioritize and sometimes to say "NO" to people.

3. Delegation - One cannot do everything by oneself. Learn to delegate and get help from others.

4. Whenever you do some task, always question why am I doing this, why this needs to be done in a certain manner and learn all the background(domain specific) knowledge related to the task.

5. Learn how to debug - I cannot stress enough how important this is. Most of the time you would spend maintaining, coding, and changing, legacy/existing code written by someone else. If you do not know how to debug and follow the trail like Enola Holmes, you'd always have to depend on the help of others which is very inconvenient for you as well as for others.

Apart from that as mentioned in the other answers it's always good to be a smart cookie, but it's not essential.
Each time I read Wodehouse, I think in his curious complex sentences for a day or two. Its so engaging!
And I hate to be the bringer of discouraging news, but the reason tech companies are succeeding at selling us our own data is that we want it.

In every click we make to like something, buy something targeted at us, listen to media we like, we teach companies or algorithms that we want what they have. And so yelling at the company for delivering what we have shown we want is a bit like yelling at yourself for eating so much ice cream.

Until we put down our phones and stop reinforcing the outcome, we're a big source of our own problems. You might as well try to change human nature.

> In all seriousness I'm sure this is useful in limited cases, but for most the right answer isn't some fancy UI, its middleware or some layer on top of kubernetes that allows you to automate away the toil-y parts of YAML, but keep the flexibility.

I think Dhall is in the right category of solutions for this problem. YAML needs to be reusable and text templates a la Helm are an amusingly bad solution. Moreover, I think static typing is a very nice feature for things that generate YAML since it’s so easy to make mistakes with these kinds of tools. I’ve used Starlark for these kinds of tasks in the past and the lack of static typing has been a sore point.

> Maybe you should take a moment to review the etiquette you're trying to hypocritically enforce.

Although they did breach it, they did not invoke the etiquette, they only made a more general recommendation of calming down (however snarkily).

You, however, are invoking the etiquette while breaching multiple items from it in your original comment.
It's like when people hear a statement like you've made they recoil and assume that 100% of your interactions in a region involve discrimination. What they fail to understand is that the rate you experienced discrimination is higher in these areas than in others. It's a probability, it's clear to me from the context that surely not every interaction of yours in the south is bad, but given drawing a random interaction out of a hat, you are more likely to have a bad one living in Virginia than in New York. Given this reality, I wouldn't want to live in the American South either.

There must be some sort of logical block that prevents people from understanding the nuance in these comments, and rushing to defend against absolutes that no one implied existed. I blame a lack of understanding of statistics and probability.

Texas problem is a land problem. You can't just see hogs in a field and shoot them. You need permission from the land owner (this goes for pretty much everywhere). Texas is particularly bad because owners see hunting as a possible revenue stream since there is literally no state land open to hunting so they don't grant permission to just anyone.
"Couldn’t explain the lethargy or sharp uptick in anxiety and general inability to work."

Not for nothing: all of these symptoms could also be caused by depression, which is not without precedent, considering that we've completely obliterated normal life in the last seven months.

Anyway, you should seriously consider seeing a therapist. There are a lot of other people who are feeling depressed and anxious and distracted right now.
