Personally I’d recommend finding better things to do and then canceling your subscriptions when you’re no longer using them. Ripping out a big part of one’s life without a healthy replacement can be suboptimal.
I was puzzling over how you could have been misled — I am really, really positive they’ve never advertised "no cable" with the watches — and realized that you probably read "no charger."

Is the puck a cable, dongle, or charger? I suppose all those labels make sense. But anyway — yeah, power bricks are common and Apple doesn't ship them by default anymore; Watch pucks are niche and it would be pretty dumb for Apple to ship Watches without them.

advice: put your extra puck in your suitcase; if you accidentally travel without one you'll have a bad time
Vitamin D attenuates immune response. What kills people in the hospital is basically a runaway immune reaction.

If you're low in vitamin D, you're more likely to have a severe immune response to COVID that requires hospitalization.
at first everyone is nice, but people become more and more irritated as the pesky cop asks more and more embarrassing questions.

I have multiple streaming services and sometimes I can't figure out which show is on which service.

The services with smaller content libraries are the first on the chopping block (sorry AppleTV, I'm not renewing once the free trial is up).

Maybe Apple or someone could release a wireless data adapter or dongle for wired CarPlay in the future to overcome this problem.
I care about it, and if the software was available to buy I would pay a premium for it as I’ve done before. That’s why I landed on the Mac platform. In the “bad” old days, the only major developers were Mac die hards, and very little of the platform felt foreign or unconventional. Now, the only thing keeping me on the Mac platform is muscle memory and a few lucky (hardware) strikes.
It’s rather poor form to link a 60 page report without specifying which section supports your argument. I skimmed it and didn’t see what you said, and the summary recommends vitamin d supplementation in general.

Further, this spanish RCT suggests vitamin D had incredibly strong effects in preventing patients from needing to go to the ICU.

Right-handedness doesn't attenuate immune response, which happens to be what puts COVID patients in the hospital.
My thoughts are that there's a lot of overhead in that $5, and that streaming services should pick 2 (3 at the most) payment processors and consolidate that billing. So now I could pay $10 and get access to 3, maybe 4 or 5 streaming services each month.

It's like they're using pricing to force a zero-sum ecosystem.
It reminds me of Ant configuration files. They have loops and if else:

In fact, guns may be the best example of how hegemony breeds insularity, as Americans forget how unusual their gun laws are compared with those in other liberal democracies.

Where I live, we have TV programs produced in The UK, The US and Australia. Just by looking at a show's trailers, we can tell whether the show is American or not. If a gun appears, the show is American.
No, it's the deficiency of vitamin D that makes a runaway immune response possible, which is what typically kills people with COVID.
Is that a meaningful difference in qualia? Does a relabeling of what are arbitrary labelings change my subjective experience. Is precieving the colour spectrum in reverse even a meaningful statement? Or is it more like saying you can't prove i added 2+1 instead of 1+2.
I just Google the show or movie and it lists services where it is available. There are also dedicated sites for the purpose.
I would be definitely wary of smaller cloud providers when it comes to this. I know of one that I'm pretty sure at some point was vulnerable to their whole DC being hijacked if someone was able to escape from a container. It would be interesting to know with the big providers whether this was ever a problem or if they had solved this issue from day one.

A great example of a mathematics popularizer along these lines is Norman Wildberger, who has an astonishing range of videos on youtube about an amazing range of mathematical topics. Here’s an interview with him: https://youtu.be/E_dGqavx5AU .

My personal feeling is that a lot of beautiful and interesting mathematics will arise as a result of an intuitionist, finitist, computationalist rethinking of the foundations of mathematics.
Nsonha your point is right about vscode being better for niche languages.

Now if you use a mainstream programming language, intellij is light years away and not realizing it is proof of ignorance. It would be too long to list all of what intellij has to offer feature wise. The insanely huge amount of static analysis for improving your code quality is a sufficient example.
The VCS integration, the semantic highlighting, all the kind of hints, of visualization, their better autocompletion, refactorings and so on.
I extensively used vscode before and intellij changed my life, it make programming better and easier.
To show you the order of magnitude difference: let's compare the commits count:
Vscode has 72000 commits.
Intellij community edition has 295000 commits
Now realize that intellij ultimate edition probably has gotten twice that amount of human resources.

The performance is the worth it downside, and it is improving at each release, I'm on early adopter versions (which are free btw with premium features) + use prebuilt indexes and I can finally begin to say that most of the time idea feel fast (on a 4 years old ThinkPad)
Can you elaborate on why you think epiphenominalism is the most reasonable explanation for consciousness?

My point of confusion with the epiphenominal view point is if mental states aren't at all causal, why should they exist at all? It seems like a clever way of compromising on the ontological question ("your mind is _kind of_ real"), but if mental states can't _do_ anything, then why should physical life develop them?
A coworker of mine would write all his bash scripts to echo out the commands it would run, and then to actually run it he would pipe it to bash. This way he could inspect the commands to make sure they were correct before running them.

Something like: ./dangerous-script.sh $args | bash

They had no problem erasing the firmware but when they all tried to download the new one at once it killer the service and we ended up with a lot of blank APs.

I love the things VSCode offers that its competition doesn’t. I can’t imagine working with any of the other available editors for the Mac. I hate how I feel like I’m working in a weird web app all day every day. I feel both simultaneously.
The day the "new" reddit design is enforced without some way to get around it is the day I quit permanently. "Old" reddit and HN, while not perfect, feel vastly more usable.
Rock climbing is remarkably similar. When a climber begins up a route the standard exchange with their belayer (the person managing the rope and keeping them alive in a fall) goes something like

A: "Belay on?"

B: "Belay on"

A: "Climbing"

B: "Climb on"

Then the climber begins.

It's interesting to me that highly regulated and totally unregulated activities have evolved extremely similar processes. I suppose having your life on the line is a good motivator to follow best practices.
Not any more than that all improvements to computer performance serve no purpose but to allow developers to skip optimization.

Ah, finally, the ideas from Lumen are percolating slowly into the mainstream: https://github.com/sctb/lumen

(It's a lisp for both JS and Lua.)

Eslisp is 2015, which is around the same time that Lumen was started: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10264970

Though from the commit history, Lumen was actually started in 2012. Regardless, both projects seem to be roughly the same idea, which I find very interesting.

"block" is better named "do", and "lambda" is better as "fn", but those are minor details. Most of the power of the idea seems present.
That magazines, sites and fans started using density for bragging rights, just as they used to do with MHz, certainly isn’t fully the fault of manufacturers.

Manufacturers use “x nm”, yield (a metric correlated with price, but also completely uninteresting for consumers), etc. because they tell chip designers what they need to know.

They avoid benchmark scores because they bring the CPU design in the picture as a variable.
Well if it actually went to a court case, I'm sure either RIAA's lawyers or the defence lawyers would subpoena Google to disclose the split of downloaded videos between protected and not protected videos and then we'd actually know. It is likely RIAA would have already done some sense check of usage already using metered PC panels before even stirring up this particular hornets nest.
I'd argue it already has. I picked up Sling for a month to try it out and even with the ability to start any live program from the start and the built-in DVR, streaming services are way more convenient than being stuck to a schedule and an arbitrary DVR storage limit.

It's not exactly rocket science to say, "Oh, I want to watch this thing -- let me search and find out which service it's on and sign up if needed." You'll still save money 99% of the time over $100+/mo cable bills. It sounds like you just don't care, which is fine.

In addition to Plan9 and the BSDs, which are Unixy and relatively familiar if you're coming from Linux/macOS, you could also checkout Haiku [0], which is quite different and descends from BeOS.

If you have an old TI calculator and want to try something other than a desktop OS, you could try out KnightOS[1].

As Shared404 mentioned, a Unix-inspired but quite new OS is Redox[2], which is written in Rust. Haven't used it at all, but it sounds like an interesting project.

You're missing the third option:

People who are more likely to be hospitalized due to COVID are also more likely to be deficient in vitamin D. There doesn't have to be a causal relationship at all.

>if they are absolutely rockstar talent and can be just as good remotely, then why wouldn't they command the highest salary?

because this isn't how market economics work. You're not payed for being a rockstar, you're payed for the least amount of money you're willing to work for. Indian rockstar coders may be as productive as American ones, the difference is their cost of living is lower, so they're willing to do the same work for less money. Same reason your barista in SF makes more money than the same barista in Podunk Idaho despite serving just as much coffee.
Covid-19 infections following outdoor mass gatherings in low incidence areas
I've long wondered what would happen if "self produced" pornography saw its day in court.

Afaik the exception pornography initially had which made it exist outside of sex work rules hinged on where the money came from. If it was from someone engaging in the act, then it's prostitution. If it's someone else, then it's acting.

But arguably, the payment here is more direct so I honestly think it wouldn't be obvious. The customers are paying for the purpose of potentially live sex work merely with a barrier of technology between them.

I'd imagine it's the same as the peep shows where someone pays to enter a booth to watch a promised tantalizing performance with a transparent barrier between the participants, but I really don't know.

The second interesting thing is about teenagers. The original argument again, relied on two models: one where the person is getting paid by a participant, which is seen as abuse, and the second method where they may or may not be paid but an adult is doing the recording and distribution, which is seen as exploitation.

But what if it's the teenager themselves that turn on the camera and presses record entirely on their own? The exploitation and abuse arguments no longer hold so I'd imagine that this too may not be so obvious.

The argument that it's illegal to consume or possess the material may still hold if the method of production can't be demonstrated but what about to produce and distribute the content?

I certainly would have pursued an amateur career as a teenager for extra money if it was available. Also, if the content was still floating around now, 20 years later, the only thing I'd feel would be extremely flattered.
I can assure you that Redux is not "dead" or "being abandoned":

https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2018/03/redux-not-dead-yet...

https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2020/10/presentation-state...

Sure, it's definitely _peaked_, because there's a lot of other great options in the React ecosystem these days. But, there's still plenty of good reasons to use Redux. And, with our new Redux Toolkit package and the React-Redux hooks API, "modern Redux" code is a lot different than what you've seen in the past, as shown in our new "Redux Essentials" tutorial:

https://redux.js.org/tutorials/essentials/part-1-overview-co...
Because most are "young-pass filters," and that makes itself obvious, as soon as I see them. I've learned that when I see a binary tree question, I might as well just wrap up the interview. They have no intention of hiring me.

I am mediocre at them. Most represent stuff I haven't done. A lot of it is common sense, but I'm solving them for the first time, so my approach is usually sub-optimal (I tend to start with naive approaches, then refine, if necessary). The testers are usually looking for a formulaic approach. A lot of my approaches are orthogonal to the "classics." I started as an EE, so I'm pretty good with things like drivers, SDKs and APIs, but they aren't really something that you can do in a 50-line test.

What's really insulting, is that when I'm asked, I usually send links to relevant gists or repos; often focused on the exact method that addresses the question asked.

It's ignored (so far, 100% of the time -the "faker" comment was made by someone that was explaining why they ignored it).

Apple has put a classic holiday show inside their walled garden. Why not let it run on TV as usual and people can use Apple to view it when they want?
> What does keep me on Macs is that every now and then I need to compile an iOS app.

As a longtime Mac user, I really wish that Apple would make it possible to compile iOS apps on iPad. Not for myself, but for the developers who are only on the Mac for iOS development. I don't think it does anyone any good to force them to be in a place where they don't want to be. I have no ill will against iOS developers, but I also don't want them to transform the Mac into something non-Mac. Mac has always been a "niche" platform, and that's fine! Let the users who are here voluntarily stay, and let the users who are here only "by force" go to a platform that suits their needs better, perhaps iPad. If Xcode for iPad can facilitate that, I'm all in favor.

WTF is wrong with Apple TV - It's Charlie Brown for christ sakes....
Great timing. I was interested in offloading FCP render to a faster machine, and this looks like the first step to accomplishing that.
Around industrial machines, I've long held and promoted the view that the machine is _trying_ to kill you, _trying_ to damage itself, _trying_ to ruin the workpiece. Only by outsmarting it at every turn, and having safeguards against every mishap, can you go home at the end of the day.

When something happens despite all that, just step back and realize how much worse it could've been, and how successful your safeguards have been up 'til that point.

Then look carefully at the procedure. Is there something about the naming or structure that could be more clear? Can you think of near-misses that resemble the failure you just experienced? Are you using boobytraps in production? Symlinks and overlay filesystems seem clever in the moment but they're bound to subvert our intuition someday. Perhaps you should get in the habit of always using full absolute paths, for instance.

There's always another gotcha, but if your workflow doesn't look as over-the-top safety-silly as aerospace, you're not doing as much as you could be. (Hint: It's not silly.)
I think your counterpoint is a good one — but I would argue that it has
the implicit assumption that such users will and can delegate to authority.

In my own experience this hasn’t been the case — the alternative of the user not understanding
a problem is not going with an authoritative approach, but simply not to think or care
about the problem.

Even when relying on ‘good’ solutions you need the requisite knowledge to
judge what is good — otherwise people, engineer’s included tend to view such
solutions as unnecessary. In your example, an authorization framework will
have a selection of different protocols from OAuth, Basic, LDAP and so on — all
of which are ‘good’. Without understand authorization and authentication
could you really select between them?
Platform exclusivity should be discouraged, not praised. If I can't use the software then their supposed benefits of being native don't do me much good.
Ask HN: Will moving apps to the web bring back diversity in OS/Hardware?
Recently I have read a lot about of the hardware&software being sold in the 80's 90's. Back then we had much more choice in terms of the computer architectures and OS's e.g. IBM, Apple, Amiga, Atari etc. But these days architecture matters less. Most of the software lives in the Web. Do you think we can expect completely new architectures and OS's gaining traction?

What is shocking is that they play both sides.

It’s a well known phenomenon that if you give people a small, concrete thing that they have agency over, i.e. recycling their cans, even though that thing is next to useless in terms of systemic change, they will be less likely to support broad based, effective system legislation.

The bad actors pretend to be “environmental” in order to muddy the waters, sap support for actual change, and paint the entirety of the movement as ridiculous by funding outspoken lunatics.

Nxivm Cult Leader Sentenced to 120 Years in Prison
We may be close to being able to extend human life. Ending death entirely seems a bit less plausible; even a person who doesn't age can still die by accident, and I'm not sure how the probability of any person experiencing such a random accident can ever drop to zero.

My optimistic view is to look at self-awareness as a very surprising thing that doesn't make any sense. As far as we know from biology, I should be basically a biological robot that can use its brain to solve problems but without any real sensation, just reaction to stimuli. If self-awareness isn't an emergent property of complex biological machinery, maybe it isn't entirely dependent on it either. I can't imagine how self-awareness would work without a body or a brain to connect to it as an interface, but perhaps there's more to souls than is apparent and maybe those do last forever in some form.

> It's superlinear with the number of participants, and even with no new participants, the amount of waste grows over time by design.

Incorrect, growth curve is driven by mining power and forces innovation in lower cost of electricity. The worldwide cost of Bitcoin usage in KW has been compared to the headquarters of Bank of America's usage.
My first impression is 'wow - excellent use of AI and edge finding and this and that technical thing and cross platform so and so...'

Meanwhile, this seems like one of those things that regular people might just expect computers to do. It doesn't even look complicated - of course cut and paste should work like this! And after it gets used a little more, copied into standard office software in some form, it might seem weird to view it as a surprising innovation.

It just looks so ... boring and obvious. So of course it's brilliant!

A key distinction here is whether you could write your no-code system using your no-code system. If you no-code system is self-hosting, then you've made a higher-level programming language. Otherwise, it's a tool that lives on some dimension other than "programming language".
As someone who worked through Y2K, I guarantee you that the code needed fixing, otherwise societal-level bad things really would have happened.
