This is a misconception about ventilators.

No, they don't wake you up until days/weeks later, until after the tube is removed. The reason is that patients fight the tube, so must be in a coma.
XNU is open source and I have personally used custom kernels, but if it got to that point I definitely don't think it would be worthwhile for Little Snitch to maintain their kernel extension.

I truly don't think it would get to that point though. And even if it does, that day could be years away. We're talking about maintaining an existing product, not starting a new one from scratch.

IMO, the more pertinent question is whether it's worth asking customers to disable SIP. Up until now, commercial Mac software—even software targeting advanced users—has seemingly wanted to avoid that at all costs, whether it's Flavours discontinuing their theming software or nVidia discontinuing their web drivers†.

† Note that I'm continually suspicious we don't have the whole story here, but the commonly-cited narrative is that Apple won't sign nVidia's drivers.
If there is some connection with salivary glands, doesn't that mean that infections from your mouth have a path right to the middle of your brain?
When you say "observed drop in deaths" are you referring back to the original article? Because the first sentence is "Two new peer-reviewed studies are showing a sharp drop in mortality among hospitalized COVID-19 patients." so I'm having trouble making sense of what you're saying.
> For me, a closed issue signals a closure of some sort, either that it's not accurate...

In this case, wouldn't it fall under being "not accurate" if the issuer doesn't supply requested information showing that it's accurate?
I can sympatize.

I once tried to remove the US language from Windows, in a vain attempt to stop it continually switching from British to American in random places.

Turns out it breaks all sorts of things.

Why would you need a middleman for that? Every crypto is already peer to peer.

Aren’t cryptocurrencies more like stock rather than a currency? Only difference may be is stocks cannot be exchanged 24 hrs a day?
And bittorrent is a magnet for copyright infringement?

I use bittorrent to download and distribute Linux distributions. Every bit and byte on my harddrive, from the OS to the applications to the data, is either open source, written by me, or paid for. I don't need people who should know better to draw parallels between my completely legal and moral use of bittorret and copyright infringement. And people who have perfectly legitimate and legal use of cryptocurrencies, of which there are many and some might argue more than the use of cash, do not need people who should know better to draw parallels between their usage of technology and anything illegal or immoral.
Yours, maybe. Mine definitely isn't. Why would I want it to be?
IMHO fixing this is more a job for the query planner/optimizer than for the SQL language itself. I wonder if there's a more general optimization that would help with this and other similar graph-related tasks...

It seems nothing groundbreaking. A router, some middleware and websockets.

Also, nim is a mess. Very poorly designed language. I tried it a couple of years ago and was repelled by its syntax and attempts to solve every single problem for you.
Not to flame-bait, but this is actually one of the reasons I've doubled down on vim. I like that I can function perfectly fine with one finger, I even managed to write a bunch of code using vim on my phone, and was surprised how well it translated.

You could definitely set up toggled modifier keys and do the same with emacs, FWIW.
I'm not an expert in databases, but I am starting to think that building an interface primarily designed for humans (that's what SQL is) as the main medium to interact with the database maybe in retrospective was not a winning idea.

I'm not criticising anybody here (I am literally not in a position of critiquing anything); SQL was created probably 40 years ago and it probably made sense back in the times.

My point is that you can always build a human interface from a machine one; the reverse is not that easy. ORMs are a (failed?) attempt to do so.

I would very much push for computer-language integrated query support — (such as Datalog or Linq), and that is what the database server should be accepting as input, instead of a raw string.

Although a lot of people hate MongoDB, I've personally felt way more productive expressing queries with their query document system rather than using SQL.

Fixing design flaws with other software ain't gonna bring us that far maybe.
I don't believe GP is taking it personally, can one not have a poor business relationship and be put of dealing with the other party again?
Hi, thanks for your reply and also sorry to hear that you're dealing with AS.

I'm in the US but I have good insurance. I'm very familiar with TNF-Alpha inhibitors as I have tried several. I started on Remicade which actually worked, but my rheumatologist at the time foolishly switched me to Humira for the sake of convenience. Once I switched, it did not work anymore nor have I had any response from a TNF inhibitor since (switched back to Remicade and also tried Enbrel). I switched to a better rheumatologist who explained to me that if you start and stop a TNF inhibitor, they may never work again as your body adapts to the medicine.

I don't mind though, I have health anxiety and got a few weirds symptoms and infections on the TNF inhibitors. Many patients lives are changed by TNF inhibitors and those therapies are game changers in rheumatology. For me, however, the medicines scare me because of the side effects I had and don't work anyway.

I also tried sulfasalazine but had the rare side effect of falling white blood cell counts. Given the level of my disease activity which has been radiographically slow and that my day to day pain is manageable, I prefer to be off medicine and deal with the pain.

I still love to ski when I can and will still do those activities which bring me happiness (hiking, dancing, etc.). For me though, I get tendonitis when starting or attempting really any form of regular exercise.

Thanks for your reply and I wish you the best in your treatment.
Redox keyboard is amazing, never had any pain since starting to use one about 18 months ago.
In my almost a bitcoin millionare story, I abandoned bitcoin in the early days (cpu days!) because I saw this as the real issue at hand. It jaded me from the market and I haven't really got into it since, but monero and zcash seem to be the two that have the best privacy features. I think ethereum has been working on this more also.
Forget where I read this but apparently they routinely file for an extension when doing their taxes so they don't submit to the IRS until October.

Expect the 2019 annual report sometime in November which is when they usually publish it.
The thing with bytes, and everything else pertaining to computing, is that it's wholly invented by humans, so of course it's possible to obtain a complete enough mental image of things like CPUs given enough documentation. Human body, on the other hand, is literally alien technology because humans themselves didn't take any part in engineering it.
My experience with graph databases so far has been that they are tuned more for nice schemas and queries than for graph analysis.

I've actually been considering migrating away from neo4j to sql with recursive queries for performance reasons.
Why client does not accept certificate from the future? What attack is supposed to be prevented?
It is ironic that cryptocurrencies are becoming a vehicle for more centralization instead of decentralization. Having banks as middlemen between transactions introduced inefficiencies that actually act as a level of opacity that prevents total and absolute control of the transaction ledger. State-regulated cryptocurrencies facilitate all kinds of large-scale economic control, from money printing to sanctions, ostracization etc on a scale that that even systems like SWIFT cannot.

Call me when paypal sells gold, in physical form that you get to keep in your property. Make no mistake that paypal will ban any crypto that cant' be 100% subject to the whims of governments. These centralized "mainstream" cryptocurrencies are going to kill the anarchic ecosystem and consequently outlaw it. The playbook "save the children/our enemies" is such a popular routine nowadays that i wonder why there's not a startup for it.
I used to have a Apple Centris 610 that ran NetBSD/mac68k. I got it as a side-effect of some horse-trading in the late '90s/early 2000s and I wanted another UNIX box to play with, so it seemed perfectly reasonable at the time. It was a 68LC040 model so I couldn't do A/UX on it without a CPU swap, and IIRC neither Linux/m68k nor mkLinux supported the hardware at the time, making NetBSD the only practical choice without spending money. It was a quirky little machine, and I destroyed it repeatedly trying things, but that means it did its job well.

I was recently working out using NetBSD 5.1 (..the last version that could be booted to a usable shell from only two floppies) to image the hard drive of an old Pre-USB laptop I picked up for a dumb retrocomputing project.

(The beginning of that project burbled up on HN a few months ago: A ThinkPad 560E because I want a fully supported period-correct machine to run OpenStep/Rhapsody on. I'm backing up the original Windows95 install by DDing the drive to a virtual SCSI disc on a SCSI2SD, plugged in to an Adaptec SlimSCSI 1460D PCMCIA SCSI Adapter. Both because getting the HD out of a 560 chassis is a pain, and because I set myself a "don't physically open the machine" conduct challenge for sport).

Having a tiny, absolutely consistent little UNIX that can just do things like the above because it supports a staggering array of hardware is really pretty delightful.
iPad Air 4 (2020) review
I've not heard about the Discussions feature!

Here's a nice write-up I found: https://dzhavat.github.io/2020/04/04/my-thoughts-on-github-d...
Cryptocurrencies are not a derivative.
I think I know what you're trying to say: Cargo's existence means that each of the platform-specific variations can be packaged up into a single library, and that library becomes the de facto standard.

It's a higher bar than "just about any language supports abstraction". It fits more into a Pythonic world-view where there's a one-size-fits-all standard library mentality.
I think there are a lot of other interesting applications here too:

* "drive-by-wire" optimization of operator inputs to save on fuel or reduce machine wear

* failsafe gps boundaries to prevent the chance of equipment leaving the operating zone

* smart personnel and equipment tracking to avoid collisions or accidents in the workplace

* future reduction in cost of remote-only equipment - cabins along with everything else needed for "creature comfort" requirements is probably a notable percentage in bill of materials and related shipping/running costs.

* cheaper labor operating costs - jobsite risks, repetitive-stress-injuries and operator insurance would go down for sure - it's also safe to assume savings by employing drivers from anywhere vs localized and often remote

* uptime: machines can run 24/7 with the exception of fueling - no downtime to change drivers or have a driver ferry back and forth for a shift change

* easy path to automation, even if extremely limited in scope during first iterations it is reasonable to see how simple tasks such as repositioning and repetitive tasks could be automated, even with macros.

* Having deeper telemetry about equipment operation (how many lb-ft has the forklift lifted in the last 3 months, how much time did the loader spend idling, how quickly did the machine respond to X input, what are the outliers for this machine vs all the other models in the fleet) can lead to much improved maintenance and preventive repairs. Maintenance programs in most cases today are simply based on hours and only the manufacturer or dealer would see anything beyond that with regards to machine usage.

Larger manufacturers seem to be exploring this and offering remote operating consoles as an add-on but it seems pretty far behind.
I would assume though that any software they release that might be useful to the general public will also have the cargo files. Which will then be well-maintained and in-tree.
VPN provider wins a court fight: police can't get or use its database
I think one or more of a few things may have happened

- The license was too ambiguous or unproven for them. Some companies refuse to use json.org libraries because of the "Don't Be Evil" clause

- They didn't want to show an attribution in their marketing materials. (I agree it would be kind of weird as a potential customer.)

- If they kept it up and credited you it might be evidence of their previous violation and evidence that they knew about it.
Technical analysis doesn't depend on EMH being true, in fact it depends on EMH being false. It is not evidence based in any way.
Windows 10's Eye Control has something like this, called "Shape Writing". See the second GIF here: https://www.theverge.com/2017/8/2/16087368/microsoft-eye-con...

Long before that, Optikey has had "multi-key selection" which works in the same way, see https://youtu.be/HLkyORh7vKk?t=10

In my experience (as a developer of eye gaze interfaces, not an everyday end user) it is often more efficient to have really good next-word-prediction (such as with the Presage engine) combined with single-letter dwells, rather than using "swipe-like" spelling, where you're committed to tracing out the whole word.

Ask HN: What was that blog post about writing “manual scripts”?
the idea was that you can write scripts that are partially automated, and partially manual. this allows you to remember and track the steps of a process, and eventually perhaps automating some of the manual ones.
Yeah, but sweeping the issue under the rug is not the way to go.

Sure, you have closed the issue because you did not pay attention to it for the last year. But the problem is still there. So the next person who stumbles upon the old, locked issue will now open a new one. Now you have two issues.
Hmm.

You could say there is a self selection bias with millionaires having pricey stuff too... but that sounds like another reason it is reliable - i.e. its typically made for users who know their stuff versus made by the users who barely have an inkling...like getting your car designed by a mechanic versus getting it designed by a 5 year old who thinks big engines and tail pipes look cool...

Often those in management tend to have a relatively infantile understanding of software and design, let alone the understanding of their problem domain...

That is the problem, it entirely depends on how you use the GPL code and there is no definite legal precedence.

If you use GPL code as part of your executable, the whole code used for building this executable falls under GPL. See for example the question, whether the non-GPL ZFS code can be linked against the GPL Linux kernel and the result distributed. See also all the GPL-only symbols the kernel exports.
Another example is libreadline, which is put under GPL to force all applications using it to be licensed under GPL too.

So there are clearly cases where using GPL code in your product can require the whole product be distributed under GPL. Of course, there are also cases, where this can be avoided. If I ship a product and I also ship emacs along with it, that doesn't influence my product. But if the product executable itself is derived from the emacs sources, it would.
Except without the anonymity.

I think there is some truth there, but I think a lot more of the FUD on the copyleft licenses originates not from unclear licenses, but from a network effect where so many people repeat falsehoods, and to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if some entities actively encouraged them.
Let’s say that instead of PayPal, there’s another money transfer firm, and they let you move money from one person to another, but for each hour you let them keep the money, you’re entered into a random drawing in which your money can go up or down. The recipient can, at any point, press a button and withdrawal the money. Seems to fulfill the gambling needs of the bitcoin community, while providing the same traceability.
Level Up Your Skills with the Real Python Slack Community
Just checking if I understood your point: for the purpose of Forcing Functions, running against a different database than the one designed for (and therefore where the tradeoffs may be different and things may run inefficiently) is still useful because it helps unearth design flaws, corner cases or brittleness?

If so, then, sure , I agree with you. Not all reliance on a target database is actual features that don't have an easy or direct way to port.

I'm not sure about other DBs, but SQL Server has (really good) tools for this (DACPACs). As an added bonus you can then use tSQLt to unit test the SQL.
Any insight into the actual methodology? I couldn't find specifics, but I would be curious what their baseline condition is.

I wonder if the baseline case is "no control optimization" or if it was based on current control best-practices. For example, one article claims it produces cooler water temperature than normal based on outside conditions. This is a best practice in good energy management through wet-bulb outdoor air temperature reset strategies without using ML. If their 40% savings was above and beyond these best practices, that's a pretty big accomplishment. If it's based on the static temperature setpoint scenario (i.e. non best practice), it's less so.

Edit: after skimming [1], it seems like their baseline condition was the naive/non-best practice approach. I'm not discounting the potential for ML, but I think a more accurate comparison should use traditional "best practice" control strategies, not a naive baseline condition. In some cases, it seems like the ML approach identified would be less advantageous than current non-ML best-practices (e.g., increasing cooling tower water by a static 3deg rather than tracking with a wet-bulb temperature offset)

> It's also quite problematic, in that this tends to create a lot of reliance on non-standardized compiler behavior and quirks.

While that may be a problem in other communities, with Rust there is a general aversion to undefined behavior. It is my belief that there will be more community pressure to fix quirks and such, and not depend upon them in general.

PayPal to enable crypto purchases with the help of Paxos
I think it depends on personal circumstances. Residents of Venezuela, South Africa, Zimbabwe probably found crypto an incredibly vital way to stash their holdings in one currency and redeem in another, contrary to a perverse government's wishes--similar to converting cash to a small bag of diamonds and then fleeing. If your nation already uses a global reserve currency then the uses are not so compelling.

Just incredible how mozilla killed firefox with so many short sighted actions including taking google's money.
I don't think this is a localisation issue. Gmail's search box semantics are unusably bad no matter what language you use.

If I click "Inbox", Gmail takes me to my "primary inbox" where my non-spam emails land. As far as I'm concerned, that's my inbox. It takes another click to "promotions" or "social" to see all the unwanted advertising semi-spam mail that I probably signed up for but don't want to read. Google is really good at this bit.

But to search for unread emails in this inbox, you can't do "in:inbox" because that brings back all the mails from "social" and "promotions", and the interface for search results doesn't have the same 3 tabs, so the relevant emails are buried a hundred pages down. "in:primary" doesn't work either. The magic incantation is "category:primary is:unread", but at various points in the past you've needed instead to use "is" or "in" or "label" instead.

Google supports you searching for messages by content. Type the words or the sender's name and you'll find the email. Advanced search is an afterthought or downright discouraged, in the same way it's been made less powerful on Web searches than it was in 2001.
I think you are confusing hype and buzz. Those are different things.
Curious, why does this specific arxiv submission keep on cropping up popularly over the years? Is this common for any top post?
> that's almost certainly a colloquialism.

Probably, although sometimes these become terms of art, i.e. words or phrases with quite a specific meaning in a particular field. (Think of the people who hear 'significant' as '< 5% under null hypothesis', ironically not what Fisher intended)
First step is decide if you really need distributed data processing. I think this is the point author is making. I've seen GB sized data considered "BIG DATA" and its unbelievable the architectural patterns used to support this "BIG DATA".
That sounds about fantastic. Is there a non-root way to build and a way to install at least some of the packages in my $HOME? Because as a developer I need to work with different branches.

edit: How does it handle python wheels and other non-source language-specific packages?
Which is why it is good to give absolute risks before and after a change. That way you can easily compute and judge both absolute risk reductions and risk ratios.
I don't remember, it was ~4 years ago and for a different company. I believe there were a small number of incompatibilities somewhere (composite indexes maybe? I remember doing stuff with them but don't remember why, could have just been for query optimisation) and a few areas where the performance was degraded (again, I think around indexes, but I could be mistaken).

It wasn't a big deal over all, but it wasn't simple plug'n'play either and required some porting work.
