Review your past articles after 90 days, that worked for me.
That sounds about as modular as systemd: it's in theory modular, but it very much throws away the existing boundaries and has yet to see its new modules be adopted by external folks (if that were even possible, depending on interface stability).

I believe that the modularity will only proof itself when external (as in, from unrelated people) projects becomes established and we see how well the original project maintains compatibility.

(I must say I wonder how big the intersection of people-who-like-ZFS and people-who-like-systemd is; they seemed to originate from very different cliques but there's no reason people who like one would dislike the other…)

A “trusted certificate checker” … which would determine whether a device’s OS and/or applications is trusting root TLS certs it shouldn’t.
It’s counterfeit because they are using my logo and images on their product with the intent of deceiving my customers into purchasing their product.
Plenty of cloud providers don't charge for bandwidth until you hit an anti-abuse ceiling. For example, Hetzner offers a 20TB bandwidth cap per node. You don't need to buy AWS to get same prices on network.

1.) At this point, it is not "recently invented". It is long term known.

2.) Vitamin D deficiency is affecting you negatively, but not enough to claim that people are "living in an environment they are not suited to". That is absurdly exaggerated claim, especially given all the various reasons why people in history died.

3.) Racism is causing way more suffering then overall vitamin D deficiency.
The first vitamin D study showed that it reduced severe disease load by 96% (that is, if 100 hospitalized people would have been promoted to the ICU, but you gave them all vitamin D on first admission, 96 of them would no longer have to go to the ICU)

Transmissability scales with disease severity; further, to a certain extent you could argue that making every disease a mild case would be the same as ending the disease (because oh no, you got a cold). Vitamin D supplementation, at about $10 every 3 months per person, would reduce that by 96%

Meanwhile, the best vaccine being developed is claiming a 90% efficacy rate. Which means that if 100 people get exposed to covid, but they are all vaccinated, only 90 of them wouldn't get sick.

Vitamin D turns 100 cases into 4 cases. Vaccine turns 100 cases into 10 cases. Vitamin D is ridiculously cheap. Vaccine development is not. But when the time comes, I'm going to use both.
The most annoying aspect of lock free programming is the amount of 'roll your own' that goes on, and having to inspect this stuff to ensure it's got a chance of working on the platforms you care about.

I totally get that this technique is inappropriate for many situations where a lock works well enough, but I work in a field (audio) where accidental use of locks and system calls is in general a larger problem than incorrect lock free code.
Tried WSL2 for a while but there was still a lot of things that needs polishing.

Finally decided on dual booting Pop!_OS and couldn't have been any happier. It's as close to MacOS as I can get in a desktop system. Due to Proton, I can now play games now too!
Everytime I read some know nothing Wall Street analyst or banker claim Bitcoin has no intrinsic value I want to beat my head against a wall.
I used to work at web agency that did stuff from APIs to SPAs, no tests and reviews. And honestly it worked decently enough. It works decently the fewer developers are on a single project.

Sometimes I had 5 different projects at once though.
Oh thanks for the catch @bradknowles. Isn't the problem probably from the HN Database? I can solve it, but it may not solve the "root" problem (should de-duplicate entries in the HN Database level)

Edit: Sorry, I corrected my sentence. The fault is mine. Very sorry about this. HN Database is fine :)
Interesting; when I tried it a while back it seemed like you needed to know the language to manage your configurations. Was that impression incorrect?

I may have tried it far enough back that I pretty much immediately encountered packages I wished it had and tried (and failed) to package it myself, though, and got the experience mixed up…
> It takes a few more seconds to write but is incredibly easy to read and maintain.

I disagree.

try{
dothis();
/* ... 14 lines of dothis(); like */
catch(error){
log(error);
return responseCode(500);
}

sounds easier to both write and maintain to me. Only a handfull of times you'd ever want to deal with each exception separately. And when you do, it's not much more verbose than if err!=nil{ ... }.
You really shouldn't recommend possibly-dangerous dosages of Vitamin D.

That point stood out to me as well. In The Problems of Philosophy [0], Bertrand Russell summarizes this phenomenon nicely

> At first sight we might imagine that knowledge could be defined as "true belief." When what we believe is true, it might be supposed that we had achieved a knowledge of what we believe. But this would not accord with the way in which the word is commonly used. To take a very trivial instance: If a man believes that the late Prime Minister's last name began with a B, he believes what is true, since the late Prime Minister was Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman. But if he believes that Mr. Balfour was the late Prime Minister, he will still believe that the late Prime Minister's last name began with a B, yet this belief, though true, would not be thought to constitute knowledge. If a newspaper, by an intelligent anticipation, announces the result of a battle before any telegram giving the result has been received, it may by good fortune announce what afterwards turns out to be the right result, and it may produce belief in some of its less experienced readers. But in spite of the truth of their belief, they cannot be said to have knowledge. Thus it is clear that a true belief is not knowledge when it is deduced from a false belief.

Yeah, but the Sun only works because of its unfathomably massive size, compared to anything we can do on Earth.

If you take 800 cubic meters of plasma from the core of the Sun, about the same volume as ITER, it only produces 216 kW - comparable to the engine in your car.

And in that volume, you will have an average rate of 1500 hydrogen fusion reactions per second. Compared to ITER, this is something like twelve orders of magnitude slower. That is why ITER needs to go to much higher temperatures than the sun.
Not at all. If a journalist interviews someone and then goes to print, and a Wikipedia article is trying to cite a source for something the interviewee said, you don't need another organization to quote the part of the article where the interviewee's words appear in order for a secondary source to come into existence. The article where the quote was first printed is a valid secondary source.

I have seen this twice - one in tv and one with life music played by local band - as used to be done back in day, except music was electronic.

The experience was much different. One with local band was awesome, one of best movies ever. The one in tv was boring and meh. It was interesting to see how much difference the backround can make.
You cannot send USD to Venezuela, only Bolivars, which isn't so good as hyperinflation will kill most of the value instantly.

One of the point of cryptocurrencies is that some countries may think certain things are illegal, but that doesn't make them wrong. To me helping to feed starving Venezuelans by sending them help directly is morally right, even if it was illegal.
Maybe those companies should focus their business in countries where EULAs have zero legal value, like EU countries.
They didn't have scoreboards overlayed on the news displaying number of suicides, number of business closures, number of lost jobs, number of domestic violence incidents. It was Deaths, and Cases. Every hour, on the hour. The other stuff got covered, but not nearly with the same intensity.
Yes they are. They are expectations of interest rates, as I said. Ensemble averages of interest rates are plenty meaningful.

Application Engineer, on any given day I'm doing non-trivial work in web dev, 3d apis or desktop software.

It's one of those things where you could pick either one but you want someone to ask you to explain more and then proceed to brag about being a generalist, being proficient in n languages and how many stacks you use/know...

And? The parent point was that lockdowns might cause other kinds of death (suicide, deferred medical treatment). All-cause mortality obviously encodes those non-COVID deaths, there is no way to tell them apart. Since the cited study lacks the necessary data (and openly states as much), using it to support any claims about the impact of COVID vs lockdowns is simply begging the question.
I understand the structure of the deal - you're not understanding credibility, power and money.

Doing a $2B deal with a company that turned out to be hot air / fraud is inexcusable, total incompetence - it doesn't matter how well leveraged GM was ostensibly, or how de-risked they were.

If it was a 'side show' M&A project, the CEO could write it off, but it's not - EV's are 'the core' part of the future of automakers and they are scrambling to put a strategy in place.

Everyone involved in this fiasco to go, they need someone in place who can put the EV roadmap in place.

There was ample evidence that NKLA was a mess, and GM bit anyhow.

This deal should be a be 'Tesla Buy' signal, because it validates Musks' view that regular automakers are stupid.

And just gasp at how badly markets are out of whack - a $10B company that has no money, a string of failures, they've produced nothing for the investment, shenanigans with investors bailing out etc..

In reality NKLA is probably worth some large negative value.
What's New in Maven 4
Ubuntu's kernel isn't exactly keeping up to date though.
I assume the person you were replying to may be following mainline.

As someone using new kernel version as they are released, I'm not willing to use a filesystem that may break with a kernel update. It also seems openzfs only supports up to kernel 5.6, according the the github release. I'm on 5.9, so its not even an option.
They are mostly an hardware firm that packages a nice experience in the box. Nope, 12% of market share isn't a monopoly.

I cannot imagine a mathematics lecturer telling his students "a monad is like a burrito". Sometimes I think the analogies can actually hurt our understanding of something very abstract or novel, as is the case with the bad burrito analogy.

I'm not sure I'd take every grocery encounter at face value.

Her whole story seems fishy. The China connection makes sense, but her testing positive 2-3 months after contacting the virus seems dubious at best.

I was really sick in late December 2019. I live in the same county as the first US case and work in the neighboring county with the first widespread community spread. Do I think that I had COVID? No. If COVID was spreading in the US in December, with zero containment measures, I believe we would have seen a lot more cases by the time testing got underway in the spring.
I think it’s more about prescription drugs versus otc drugs.

Prescription drugs need a prescription because they have potentially dangerous side effects. Often you don’t get a wanted effect without potential side effects.

OTC drugs are usually extremely cheap (hence why you could think the medical community dislikes cheap medication). The fact that you don’t need a medical professional to get them makes them a target for the alternative medicine crowd.

In the end it’s also the fault of patients for simply asking for simple cures. My doctor uses every occasion to tell me that I should do more sports, but that would mean that I would actually need to put effort in my health.
No, GM called off the deal, even if they got some amount, they'd never be able to liquidate, the selloff would crash NKLA instantly. It's going to go down eventually.

I don't think HNers here are grasping how bad it is for a respectable multinational like GM to get taken in a major deal like this, it's bad.
Yes, when it comes to patriotism and appeal to masses.

But also, as ideology, they did looked down on huge range of sentiments. Feelings related to empathy, sadness, actual romance anything like that was seen as weakness and feminine. They were not ok with sentimentality as we normally mean the word. Sentimental movies were not what they approved, because that makes you feel empathetic and gentle and that was bad.

They were ok with only some emotions, notably the ones that makes you more likely to join the fight. Like, relatedly, they were homophobic a lot, but Triumph of Will has clear aspects of homoeroticism.

(For the record, it is not nazi only thing. Any movement that seeks military domination and genocide is going to have similar preferences. Emphaty does not go well with the plans, irrational loyalty to state/party/whatever does. )
It's fair to say that I initially characterized your use of the term as regarding pleas to change personal behavior rather than legislation. But you clarified your meaning with examples fairly mild iterations from the status quo. That's either a straw man or an extremely liberal definition of the word "authoritarian".

Depending on how much I'm puffing myself up, I'll say Software Engineer, or programmer (lower case p), or simply "I do code for web stuff"

Never, EVER say coder. That is the language of muggles.
For a long time I was self deprecating about this topic.

When people who weren’t in tech asked me what I did, I told them on a good day I was an internet plumber, and on a bad day, an internet janitor. I take myself a bit more seriously now and just opt for software engineer.
The fatality rate was high in vitamin D deficient (21% vs 3.1%).
Cloud services to build/deploy for iOS already exist and are nowhere near this over-the-top expensive so no, I don't think cross-platform devs are the target market here.
Mercifully Lichess actually tells you who has the move. ChessTempo didn't (you have to figure it out from who moved last,) and thereby made this feeling of disorientation much worse than it had to be.
Though some of their statements probably don't apply, I think EULAs apply in EU. Software license do apply.

Software patents are still not recognized, let's hope this continues for a long time.
Do you care about the overall ecological footprint of Apple, as Greenpeace does, or only a few specific devices in particular? How do you evaluate likely future device lifetimes and ecological footprint, cherry picked statistics or manufacturer track record?

Should I take your evaluation in thus, or trust a detailed whole enterprise evaluation by Greenpeace?
Show HN: Continue Watching for YouTube
I built an extension that gives a list of all the videos that user did not complete watching(lectures partially watched and other stuff watched a month ago) on youtube. It is harder to search for them directly on youtube's history since this list can be soo sparse. Can you all check this out and let me know how it is? Any feature suggestions are also welcome.
Nope, Rich Hickey is right. The changes described do not break any callers. The contract changes but all existing callers still have conforming expectations of the contract. If the internals of the function also changed that’s not a concern of the callers.
It's hard to fault a scientist first publication for coming out against a firmly anti-scientist political party.

As someone who does science day to day, I have had no issue discussing contentious scientific ideas with other scientists. I also know plenty of scientists that hold views that others would think go again science; religious fundamentalism not the least of these. I have found scientists to be very tolerant of people holding ideas that are not gained from evidence.

As far as I know, before these changes selling virtualized macOS was not allowed at all. That is what Brian was celebrating, to see some approval.
> By the time SpaceX was founded, we've been shooting comnercial rockets into space for half a century, and had flown humans to the moon multiple times.

I think that's the point. Such ground-breaking innovations like fusion require on-ramp costs with questionable return no private company is willing to invest.

Shooting man in space was prooven decades ago, it seemed natural to commercialize it once there is a business model and be it only collecting government subsidies. Not to deminish the outstanding achievements by SpaceX.

> I think you need to start a family!

What an irresponsible advise, given that you factored out the importance of the relationship with the significant other.

"Just find the love of your life!"

"Just live happily ever after!"

I mean, you don't even care if someone's personality and mental state allows for that. A family is not a retinue waiting on you to fullfil your every need, is it?

If starting a family was a silver bullet then we wouldn't see such a high rate of divorce and so many kids screwed up because their parents divorce sucked.
I don't think having one's life satisfaction being a function of comparing yourself to other people is ever healthy, but this attitude seems especially unfortunate. Maybe their doing sillier things means they are, ipso facto, not smarter than you, or at least better than you in a way that matters?

Great article - very inspiring to hear about his collaboration with another undergraduate at MIT over 3 years, and the joint awards they've won together.

My undergraduate graph theory textbook had this quote from Paul Erdos:

" Suppose aliens invade the earth and threaten to obliterate it in a year's time unless human beings can find the Ramsey number for red five and blue five. We could marshal the world's best minds and fastest computers, and within a year we could probably calculate the value.

If the aliens demanded the Ramsey number for red six and blue six, however, we would have no choice but to launch a preemptive attack."

In other words - some of the basic questions about these unbelievably small numbers (that you could count on your hands and toes) are so difficult, they push the limits of human ingenuity.
I somewhat agree, but many traditional publishers have an optional "pay for OA" model and more and more funding providers require OA. For journal publications, we (in the EU) almost always have to pay. However, MDPI is particularly aggressive in its editorial practices and marketing tactics. In my community, we sometimes publish "smaller" works there: when early-career researchers get to guest edit a special issue in an MDPI journal and we want to support them; i.e., we sometimes fall for MDPI's marketing tactics ;-)

It's best to have journals that are owned by the community, but these take time to grow into venues that administrators respect: we can publish some work there, but it's not enough for building a competitive academic CV.

Considering this article: it's just a comment, and to me it looks like something an expert can easily tear apart. A well-established researcher wouldn't publish such a comment in an MDPI journal (as one of the other comments suggests).
I’ve found that no one cares except some other programmers, developers, engineers, whatever. I describe my work as computer programming when asked, rather than equate myself with a title. The companies that pay me don’t care, the subject only comes up on HN.

Reading people complaining how open web is dying is like listening to my uncle whining about his job as a butcher and miserable life in general. Yet he goes to supermarket every day to buy a cheap meat and salami to make a "good meal" and spends the rest of his day sitting in front of TV drinking beer and vodka. Every day.

Web is still the same. There are walled gardens and there are gardens without walls. And that is a manifestation of openess. Everybody can build anything and hang around anywhere he pleases. What a beautiful and truly open world.

This article is mostly ad to a browser. That's another manifestation how open web is. You. can. make. own. browsers.
