Look into the Xiaomi MiBand 4 / 5, they're around $30. Battery life can last 2-3+ weeks with litte heart rate monitoring. Sleep tracking is there, but I can't comment on it's accuracy, although it should be pretty good.

It's better than Fitbit in every category, and significantly cheaper. There's plenty of 3rd party app support and it's easy to extract data into a privacy conscious health app, if you don't trust any of the apps too.
Its BASIC frontend was not really legacy, instead the CP/M environment was basically tacked on. It had an entire separate CPU, an actual Z80, for that purpose, but unfortunately running CP/M was almost unbearably slow (which was not really the fault of the Z80).

BASIC, in its upgraded version "BASIC 7.0" (compared to the C64's "BASIC 2.0") was quite obviously still the "main mode" and the one that supported all the C128's features.

However, there was also a third mode, a "C64 compatibility mode", which removed (almost) all of the new features and presented itself exactly like a C64 would, same ROM and all.
> As someone who has worked supporting a commercial compiler, it never ceases to amaze me how companies will pay 6 figures per seat for development tools, and then install them on a 5 year old machine that wasn't fit for the title "workstation" when it was brand new.

Well, because the dev shop buys the dev tools, but general desktop IT buys the computers, with policies around limiting number of different builds in the organization for IT convenience, and distribution policies for new machines based on internal politics (if you are in th chain of command above the head of the unit in charge of the hardware, or politically connected to someone in that position, you and your staff can get newer, better machines, whether or not you have a real business need, and even if that means denying someone else with a real business need.)

Or, at least, I've seen enterprise shops like that.
Fuck they were the ones killed it. I don’t remember how the recommendations compared but Rdio’s UX was miles ahead. Pandora really should have abandoned their frontend and went all in on Rdio.
This is both a pain (state gets confusing) but this statefulness also a huge boon when rapid prototyping. You don't need to rerun calculations to tweak a single variable. Sometimes the data preprocessing can be really expensive.

It does take a certain discipline to make reproducible notebooks. I like to always end the day with a "restart and run all" if possible.
There is no perfect answer for this. Philosophers have been seeking to answer this since the beginning of time and we will all continue to do so until the end of time.

Personally, I try to make a regular habit of thinking about my mortality. Visualizing my friends and family after I'm gone, and seeing how the world keeps on ticking. It helps me limit my own self-importance in the world but also helps free my mind to focus on the things I really care about.

Like you, I would love to be able to many lifetimes where I get to try all those other paths in the road I didn't end up taking. And perhaps we will, maybe reincarnation is a thing. Or maybe the birth and death of the universe is cyclical and we get to try this all over and over. Sadly we can never know this.

If you haven't seen the show "The Good Place", it has some interesting takes on mortality and what it would be like to live forever.

Mostly. Microsoft seems to really hate just saying "Do this standard thing" and prefer to say "Do this special Microsoft thing †" with an asterisk explaining somewhere that it's basically the standard thing but with a Microsoft logo and also your Microsoft Certified Partner will charge extra.

For example Microsoft used to tell its customers they need a "Unified Communications Certificate" for SSL/TLS. And some companies would advertise specifically that phrase. What's special about UCC? Nothing, it's just an ordinary PKIX compliant certificate using SANs, which is what all the providers are always required to do anyway. But I guess in principle Microsoft felt this way if you bought something else somehow, that's not a "Unified Communications Certificate" so that's why it didn't work.

In the case of WebAuthn Microsoft really wanted to do RSA PKCS#1.5 even though that was obviously at best a weird choice and arguably a bad choice. So the standard says you can do RSA PKCS#1.5 and as I understand it a pure Windows system does, but nobody else wanted that, it's slower, it's clumsier, there is no formal security proof that it's even safe. Everybody else does an elliptic curve signature, I think either ECDSA or EdDSA.

I've built a toy WebAuthn implementation and I literally have no clue whether it works with Microsoft's clients because I was not able to test that yet because they are different from everything else. It fails closed, so if it doesn't work I guess I locked out all Windows users. But all the widely available popular solutions should work.
1) I think the point is that all skilled jobs by definition benefit from a barrier to entry. As far as suitability to unionization, it hardly matters whether the barrier is experience, education, or taxi medallions.

2) AFAIU, for many years now the bottleneck in the United States for doctors has mostly been residency slots, which aren't controlled in any manner by the AMA, AFAIK. Skilled nurses are even more supply constrained than doctors despite having relatively lower barriers to entry. The issue there seems to simply be not enough teachers.

What the OP is probably referring to is that Rust does not have a runtime in the typical sense used by languages such as Java. Rust does have a runtime, as all non-assembly languages do, but it is very very small. Languages with minimal runtimes like C or Rust are commonly referred to as having "no runtime".

As a Canadian, I'm quite impressed at how this sounds pretty much exactly like her. She's the Queen of Canada, so we like to watch her at Christmas, and occasionally other times in the year. I even have her official picture in my doorway. ;p

There are some "wrong" motions compared to what her natural movements, but they're so minor they'd be easy to miss. I think most people would be fooled by this, except for those of us who recognize the video footage that was used to make it.

Also, I love the Canadian "diss" she makes in the clip CBC provided. That was hilarious.

If you were writing assembly that would be reliable, but in C it isn't. The compiler knows that NULL dereferences are undefined behaviour and so won't necessarily compile them into memory accesses.

Show HN: 10 KB Club
That isn't designed to be an anti-sybil measure, and won't work as such.
The 286 was almost entirely still a 16bit system. It had a 24bit address space for 16MB of memory, but then again the 8088 itself already had a 20bit address space (for 1MB), and both could only continuously address 64kB without segmentation.

It was also famously called "braindead", mostly because switching into 286 Protected Mode to make use of its new features pretty much meant turning off 8088/8086 compatibility (unless you used some horrible tricks).

When the 80386 came along with its real 32bit register set and address space, and significantly increased compatibility even in Protected Mode through vm86 and a few other additions, it really made a tremendous impact in comparison.

And while DOS was still 16bit, it would now often run in memory managers (e.g. QEMM, EMM386...) as a vm86 task in Protected Mode, making some good use of some of the new 32bit features.
Exploring the methods of looking into Ethereum’s transaction pool

Look, I logically understand the philosophy of “it’s never aliens until it absolutely is aliens.” And maybe this is just me. But the way researchers take to implement it completely guts the topic in some way. It feels like extreme to the point of derangement or something. Science might be doing harm to itself.
It's theoretically the same idea at the node level instead of the application level except that the WireGuard curve25519 keys now cannot be verified since they are published by a 3rd party that you have zero control on. This 3rd party can simply connect to your machines anytime by injecting its public keys into your nodes and have complete access into your private network. That's the power of owing your own CA as opposed to letting others injecting peer public keys as if there is nothing to verify.

> However, either they do not scale or even when they do (newsql), they are 10x slower and handle less volume, etc.

There's something to be said about CQL specifically here, because its transactional model is an odd duck, and not always for scalability reasons. Scylla and Cassandra could offer richer transactions without significant performance penalties--indeed, which would significantly speed up some types of transactional workloads, but instead there are, as the grandparent poster notes, strange edge cases.

For instance, you can't select multiple CQL rows where the select would cover a column backed by a CQL collection. That's been fixed in Cassandra, but is still present in Scylla, and limited the kinds of tests we could write for Scylla.

You also can't perform an LWT write without a guard clause: linearizable upserts in the Jepsen tests require the presence of an always-null field in every row whose only purpose is to convince Scylla that yes, we really would like to use Paxos for this write.

Likewise, there's no logical notion of a batch combining reads and writes, or, for that matter, a batch of reads. If you want those sorts of things in C* or Scylla, I imagine one winds up stringing together reads and CaS statements in retry loops, or something to that effect. We were trying to hack together a batch read via a no-op write, except that it's actually impossible to do that robustly--you can only "read" values involving guard clauses, and there's no guard which will pass on all values. It's just... awkward.

This isn't a scalability thing--all three of these cases could be executed in a single Paxos round, scoped to a single partition. It's just... weird API design.
The art for the show makes sense, but celebrating the art and discussing it as if you’re ascribing awe and respect to the terrible men that created it is wrong.

Hitler was a monster and the Germans that supported him were monsters. I used to think their inventions were neat, but now that I know more about what happened there, it sickens me.

Asking for - what to me seems like basic - details is something I’ve been doing every time a recruiter reaches. And honestly, maybe only 5% replies with all the requested information.

If their response doesn’t come with the answers, or it’s just “let’s have a call to discuss”, I already give up and disregard them as spam.
Wait, but how do you serve it up?

I only concern myself over the things I can control.

I follow the scientists that are working on reversing the age of cells. Currently the human trials are only working on specific body parts, but in a few years it may be applied body wide assuming no major issues come up. The most promising work I am following right now is by Dr. David Sinclair and his team at Harvard. [1] There are many teams in numerous countries working on this and similar techniques.

In the mean time, I avoid things that cause premature aging and do what I can to reverse damage from the western diet I had eaten for so many years.

There are thousands of different palm species, not all of which produce the oil palm fruit, which is the starting point for palm oil. The main palm tree species that produces oil palm fruit is Elaeis Guineensis. This species can only grow within 5-10 degrees of the equator.

There are many palm species in California, but they do not produce oil palm fruit.

Spotify objectively sucks compared to plenty of other services. Is it possible you haven't tried those other services? Having access to lots of music is certainly better than not but we've had services that do that since the early 2000s.

I subscribed to Rhapsody in 2004. It gave me access to "nearly any artist's catalogue available for almost free". As 2 examples of things it did better, instead of using a shitty recommendation system that when I pick some electro swing band it recommends death metal, instead for every artist it showed their lists of who influenced them and who they influenced. I found tons of great bands that way. Way more than i've found on Spotify's crappy system

And that's just one example. The now dead Google Play Music's recommendation system actually worked where Spotify's does not.
Great, thanks for the explanation.

Hence my ETH bot example, which often times use cross-exchange strategies that are indeed latency-sensitive.
Yeah it really is an echo chamber type algorithm. I like it too because if I see garbage I hit the back button. Hopefully that trains it more. I generally watch DIY, history, video game reviews, and a few different genres of music and youtube has certainly helped me find more of the same. However if you're watching conspiracy videos and right wing propaganda you're gonna get more of that and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy of drek and dumpster fire videos.
The problem with the Mac (and iOS) App Store is too many API restrictions - Apple can do too many things that developers can’t. And I don’t mean crazy things. I mean normal things that a normal application would want to do.
> Or do your existing opinions mean you view all discussions on this topic as bad-faith, exactly as the parent comment describes?

No, I'm quite clear about what would constitute a good faith argument. For example, regarding obese people on planes having to pay for extra seats, a good faith argument would involve genuine discussion about the impact on these people, whether it's prejudiced to do so, whether it's within the rights of the airlines to charge them extra, and so on.

A bad faith argument is where this topic is brought up as a strawman when the real topic of conversation is censorship or some such.

I'm fully aware that this entire comment thread, including my replies, constitutes a bad faith argument, BTW. We are not genuinely discussing the plight of obese people, we're just using their plight to further our own discussions.
Honestly, be kind because the universe is cruel enough. Just step back and let entropy do it’s thing if you truly can’t be kind to someone, but there’s no need to hasten “the entropy death of the universe.”
It could all end tomorrow. True for any of us.

Fact is, we all get some time here. It is not much.

The other hard fact is, barring some reasonable fraction of time possible for us, what we, you, any of us want has very little impact on what we get.

You don't have to accept it. Whether you do, or not, mostly matters to you, and you don't have to tell either.

Maybe one day our understanding will allow us to transcend this state of affairs. I sometimes think about all the lost souls.

When it ends, I won't be worried any more than I was before getting that ticket.

So far, nobody reports back. When it is over, it's over.

There are other travellers here. Ticket holders. Sure glad for that! We don't have to do it alone, and I found someone! She is the best. That helps a lot.

All told?

Very nice problems to have. No complaints!

I do not think about it much past that.

Travel well. Enjoy the ride. That's what a lot of us do.

...or not.

Works the same either way.

So many of the traits that are bundled into the label autistic are on par with lactose intolerance.

Lactose intolerance in adults is something that the majority of our species lives with. It's only the Indo-European minority that can keep drinking cow's milk after puberty.

So, for example:
Eye contact aversion. Prevalent among autistics. But only a disability in cultures that equate it with dishonesty.

Inability to tolerate fluorescent lighting. Those damned things did not exist until what, 60 years ago? How is it a pathology to be averse to them.

I'm going to need a citation on playlists specifically being protected under copyright. I'm not sure how you can claim that what is effectually a simple plaintext list of things can be copyrighted. What original content there is being put under copyright?

As you already stated, they do not alter the music itself in the way that a rearrangement would, most media players provide fade-in/out functionality so they cannot claim that is unique, and they do not provide any supplimentary content to enhance the experience, at least not in the same way that a book published list, or internet top ten list would ordinarily provide some kind of commentary on the items.

What you're claiming here is effectually that, not even the content, but the mere titles of every single "top 50 foos" list on the internet can be copyrighted. Or that the rearranging of a book's chapters without any change to the contents, can itself fall under copyright

I'm not sure how anyone could think that this is at all a reasonable position to have? It's baffling, to be quite honest.

The chance of any startup succeeding is rather low. For the vast majority of companies taking a significantly lower salary for higher options just means you're going to lose 5-6 digits in opportunity cost over the years you work there (if you're can get into a FAANG as a SWE could be 7 digit!)

If you believe in the company and think it has a real opportunity to take off, then sure that might be a good trade off. But for the majority of startups this isn't going to be the case.
