This sort of series is why I miss RSS (and yes I've tried and failed to re-adopt it).

Email subscriptions are never the same, they disappear in gmail or even worse in other email readers :(

I'll keep a look out for this one though. Also I'm happy to see it on Substack, seems like a good platform for the future.
As if moral rules of censorship ever be interpreted consistently.

They are typically written down in a manner that suggests rule of law, but morality is always rule of men, and it's always horribly inconsistent.
There's nothing quite like having to spend a load of time justifying everything your team wants to do to the team above because they need to justify the things their teams need to do to the team above them.

Sometimes things are just obviously crap to the people tasked with working on them and having to jump through these kind of hoops eventually leaves an organisation with only the kind of people who are happy to keep doing it.

Nothing makes me stop ignoring recruiter messages quite like being asked to flesh out a JIRA ticket with technical details by a person who has literally no use for the details they ask me to write.
Because it's good for their profits to do so.

You underestimate the amount of capital commanded by the angry mob that so easily becomes morally outraged.
Playwright: Reliable end-to-end testing for modern web apps
I believe that we agree.

The Chinese government completely dropped the ball on providing an objective warning of the situation.

The US federal government completely dropped the ball on preparing an adequate and timely response, even granted the handicap of officially sanctioned misinformation coming from Chinese Government.

I agree that the first problem does not make the second problem any more forgivable, and we should disregard narratives that try to push that idea. Neither misdeed should be tolerated or go un-shamed.

This is true for DocumentFragment as well.

But I can see objects are lighter. One of my app is tree based .. so DFlex looks interesting to me, but would love to see Svelte style examples to see how easy to build things with it.

I'm a major LFTR fan/stan, but new nuclear projects aren't a good idea with the cost curves for wind/solar generation and battery storage dropping 10% per year at a minimum.

Over the 5-10 years of a major nuke project planning and construction, they're going to see their target cost undercut by wind/solar by massive margins.

Obviously those curves won't last forever, once they stabilize, then new nuke projects will have a more stable target.
That must be new. I had to settle for 'about:performance'.
I used it once to buy a laptop on ebay in 1999. It saved me.
Nuclear has very high levelized cost of energy, but consumer electricity prices are quite far removed from those numbers. You can't compare consumer prices to learn anything about the relative costs of power production, because 90% of the price difference is because of different legislation. See e.g. here [1] for a comparison of different power sources.

If their boss doesn't let them just get to work without thoroughly documenting everything that's a larger problem. As good a time as any to start looking for jobs with bosses that don't suck.
Considering how relatively safe Vitamin D is, why aren't governments pushing really hard on it?

Same with N95 masks. At this point, if there was a push, we could have had plenty of them, and they're significantly more effective, but there's no push.

It's weird. But the US is botching vaccine distribution, too, so at least it's consistent.

Cars are parked about 23h a day. Eventually most parking spots will also have a charger, because that's pretty much the only way EVs will be adopted in cities where people don't have garages.
And in 7 they’d be 110 percent! Jokes aside, there could be a long tail to EV adoption.
Is a bean counter still heading Boeing? Technology companies really need to be run by technologists first, businessmen second. It's fine to have a COO handle the nitty-gritty of running the company, but the vision and culture need to be set by a technical person and should be very technology-focused in general.

I'd wonder if "clean plate" messaging is less about food production/import capacity and more about supply chains. Starving people don't need to be encouraged to eat everything on their plate.

On the other hand, quarantines probably stressed their distribution networks pretty bad-- cutting major internal routes off, diverting supplies for cities in lockdown, dealing with goods perishing on loading docks and unharvested crops plowed under. Every kilo of demand saved is a kilo less they have to cram into the transport infrastructure.
Road maintenance has to be funded, and will be done in a way that avoids change and angering people who actually care (when change becomes necessary) while being at least a hypothetically good faith effort at fairness. So you shouldn't expect to get tolls (people who drive a lot will care more, plus wealthy suburbanites are more likely to fight this) or weight-based registration (no one drives more than truckers...)

So "hey, those guys stopped paying their share" can be passed,and that's what happens.
I don't know if anyone knows an app that gives first-light and last-light for the phone, so I don't have to buy a new watch?

I'd like one that takes into account terrain. All of the apps I've seen believe the world is a perfectly smooth. I live in a place with mountains, and my "last-light" time at certain points of the year can be as much as 50 minutes earlier than any app will predict.

I think it was just an example of how little we can be connected to our local community. It's not bad in itself, and you can likely have both strong remote relationships and strong community ties at the same time.
Yeah trucks are subsidized because without them most populated areas wouldn't have food, and people tend to like food.

Also basically every every other material good.

I think people would probably scream pretty loud if food suddenly jumped in price 10x, but maybe we could handle it like most places handle sales tax? Exempt trucks carrying food/necessities and tax everything else.
I trust the New Yorker’s fact-checking chops, but I think it’s wise to be skeptical about Pottinger, as he’s the primary source for the story. I believe he advocated for a stronger response, and was summarily dismissed by his colleagues as there’s plenty of evidence for that.

But I don’t know how accurate his portrayals of the intentions behind the CDC and the FDA officials are. There aren’t a lot of ways to cross reference his analysis of the quoted meetings, since the CDC and FDA both declined to comment for the piece.

This is as close to a “full story” as we’re going to get before a hypothetical “COVID commission” congressional investigation, but it’s still quite two dimensional.
I've been taking Vitamin D supplements for the last year, and most recently I had my doctor run tests. They were very surprised that the test came back and I was under the minimum range, even with the supplements.

They had not expected that at all. So instead they asked me to up my dosage. Ever since then I've felt mentally better than before, it really helped my mood and improved my ability to think.
Not entirely sure that I'm reproducing the benchmark correctly, but running Amazon Linux 2 I have:

# mount -t tmpfs -o size=32G tempfs tmp

So (assuming I reproduced the benchmark correctly!) that's 258 MB, or about 1/3 less space than bupstash.

I also had "while true; do ps aux | grep tarsnap | grep -v grep; sleep 5; done" running in a different window to monitor the RSS (I don't know what the right flags are to time(1) to get that data on Linux) and it maxed out at 11472 kB.

I suspect that Tarsnap is slower than the other options, though. That's something which I'm not able to compare easily.

If the author is interested in adding Tarsnap to his comparison, I'd love to help (and can provide a free account for benchmarking).
He went looking for a fight. A fight he had no business being anywhere near. I have no sympathy for Rittenhouse.
Nah, it almost definitely shouldn't. The lawyer is representing the DOJ. Period, end of story. The enormous impact of the lawyer's representation on case law is non-trivial to say the least, even it's just one person. This lawyer almost certainly works with DOJ staff who were okay with this argumentation. At what point should we get worked up? Once it becomes case law?

Does bupstash support archiving to AWS S3? That's what I love about restic. I can backup my files to cheap cloud storage and I don't have to maintain any offsite server or storage for this to work.

If you rewrite your first sentence this way, does it better highlight why this board is interested in this information?
The AWACS for an F-35 in terms of providing an air picture is less necessary. They are still command and control and provide services which may not be radar related. They have lots of people that can process data and taskings. So don't let the idea that they are being used with an AWACS mean they require an AWACS.

And for the space discussion, nothing is as real time as a fighter's sensors airborne, it's pretty bad how long some data can take to reach a platform that can use that data. The military has a problem right now with distributing data real time, they are working to solve that problem.

Ask HN: How do I find a mentor?

Arrrrgh - what I wouldn't pay to live near -that- !!
I think this depends on a per project basis, in some projects the code can speak for itself, any competent developer would be able to look at the code and understand what’s going on.

In projects with a lot of business logic, or projects that require understanding of a specific subject, it’s often better to write comments to clarify what’s going on. Sometimes code alone isn’t enough.
Yep, and that's not worth doing for free.
I have multiple ant colonies in my garden and when I was younger spent a whole lot of time trying everything imaginable to get rid of them (induce collapse you could say). But with each attempt my admiration for them just kept growing. Cause these fuckers with their spec of dust sized brains keep chugging along the next day morning as if nothing at all happened. Its like every calamity is just a minor interruption to whatever they are upto.
So I just use their model. My mantra over time has become - "Dont sit around appreciating the pain. Get back to work"

But the caveat here is, as with the ants, you must have a goto list of things to do. When I was younger I had no idea what I wanted to do so the mantra worked terribly. But the older I have gotten the list of things to do has grown. So like the ant no matter what happens theres always something to do.

"If the company thinks strategically, then no need for something like a 20% schedule. You should be empowered to make these decisions yourself... You are the expert."

I fundamentally agree with this approach and there are companies that do as well. What is the term that encapsulates this sort of culture? Is there one?

If there is one, is there a reliable / repeatable way to determine during the interview phases if the company you're interviewing with is this type of culture?
> By your logic every hardware vendor should pay for the development of all software (or at least all open source software) that aims to run on that hardware.

Ungrateful to just demand compatibility but provide none back, Apple hardware is increasingly hostile to 3rd party code running on it. They're not worth it.

I'm not sure how this looks WRT grid limits/congestion, but there's an alternative mass-adoption scenario where battery tech matures to the point of charge rates becoming equal or better than "gassing up" today.

Sounds like the reasonable thing to do. But some people are brainwashed to love tech debt:

1) Some people mistakenly interpret "maximizing the work not done" with maximizing tech debt.

2) Power is the ability to make people do what they do not want to do. Saying "no" is a way to exercise that ability. Some leaders become addicted to the feeling of exercising their power.

3) Cohesive groups of people tend to prioritize cohesion over rationality during decision making (i.e.: "groupthink"). Groupthink makes teams unable to make correct decisions or assess risks in a rational manner.

Many startups suffer of issues 1, 2, 3. And some even perceive those weaknesses as strengths. When that happens, the only way out is to decapitate the team, punish groupthink and reindoctrinate the team members.
Yes, they are going for a “all in one” including project and team org functions, source control etc. I’ve been using it for pet projects since the beta.

It would probably be wise to not post your opinion on things like vitamin dosages unless you're a medical doctor.

My doctor prescribed 1 week of 15000 IU a day, then a week of 10000 IU, then a running dose of 5000 IU a day. I've seen measurements of 50k IU from a day in the sun. 3000-5000 is not too much or "obscenely high" for many people, but as with literally everything like this, its best to consult a doctor about an individual's needs.
What I took away from that analysis is that the entire field is self correlated (good) but lacking any underlying falsifiable theory (bad) or any ability to predict anything (bad).

Repeatability, falsifiability, and predictability are the three requirements for any science. Remove one or more and it’s no longer science regardless of how much you want to believe it’s providing useful results.

The history of science is littered with many such approaches. It could be the big five could eventually find better theoretical footing. My observation of the social sciences is less keen on this outcome. They perennially fail to accomplish it and thus move to “greener” pastures in terms of their financial incentives.

For an example, consider the case where the study authors had a hypothesis that three of the five traits would predict something, only 2 did and they decided this was a success. Meanwhile astrophysics is arguing about potential sources of errors when results are off by 0.001%. Obviously different fields but the social sciences lack of establishing a solid quantifiable footing is non-ironically dismissed as “humans are difficult” rather than acknowledging that the basic science that’s attempted to be done is flawed and will never yield scientific results with the course it’s on.
YLL is an interesting metric but deceptive. As the article says, about 80% of deaths have been in the 65 and above bracket.
I'm confused by your example. Sounds like someone who knows (or thinks they know) a language well writing code that is "good enough for now" and causing problems down the road?
That’s exactly what happened. I’m sure the vendor code is riddled with spaghetti code, poorly optimized and undocumented. But as long as they deliver, the business doesn’t have to care about it. They can also just say what they want, and it gets done, without any real pushback from developers.

I can’t blame them for doing this tho, I often felt like we spend most of our time discussing implementation, doing code reviews and optimizing code for the sake of optimizing it. Towards the end it was also clear the business just didn't want to deal with our team anymore, they were annoyed we couldn’t just build the feature they wanted.

> If you are not deficient, there is no reason to believe that taking "extra" will protect you from anything.

You’re right. Buuut, a lot of people are walking around deficient. And even though it’s fat soluble, there’s a pretty big window where you can supplement and not worry about overdoing it.
I just wanted to say that I really appreciate the decision to have the first steps of the project customization process not require registration let alone payment. It makes for a better sales pitch than a hundred landing pages.
Ah yes, that's of course also possible, but I think it's a lot less likely, because the shift to EVs needs to happen quite quickly, imho before batteries had time to improve sufficiently.
> I suppose we will need to boycott my home builder because they don't support my mattress company that works with the house they built me?

I suppose you do need to boycott the home builder if they wish to sleep in your bed and also place demands on it.

They want 3rd party software, yet make it increasingly harder to both run and develop it on their hardware.

In the same category is Nvidia, so much effort goes into supporting their hardware but they don't really wish to play ball for more than a decade now. Why bother with such cunts? There are other vendors that are much nicer.
Do you remember life before the Internet?

Because it reads as though maybe you don't remember.

It's not that big of a deal, just put it away.

You need your phone far less than you think you do, just put it away for some occasions, maybe don't take to lunch (or to work).

Being 'homebound' is a great excuse to get rid of it: other than SMS, everything else can be had via the web, and the notebook form factor is not nearly so mobile.

The 'problem' is real but the intensity I think is overblown.

We haven't had phones for the last 10 000 years of civil evolution and 50% of people alive today remember quite clearly a time when we didn't have them and it was just fine.

Finally: "The eventual goal is a rich life" it never was that, that rich. Reading, practising music, walking, watching TV, listening to music - it's not necessarily very 'rich' it's just different for the most part. The romanticized notion of what a 'rich life' is might be a little bit of the problem.
50,000 IU dosages aren’t really available by prescription only when 5,000 IU pills are OTC.
To be clear, I am not suggesting that the resulting code will be good. But it tends to be more basic and not rely on weird tricks that deeper knowledge of the language will allow you to do.

My larger point is that the first attempt to solve any problem in code is going to suck, so you might as well suck in a different language that won't ever have a chance of being deployed into prod. You learn some things, you get some exp with a new language, and a better frame of mind for solving the problem in a better way.

The platform also magnifies shallow thought from a minority of contributors. One of the signals we use to mediate our thoughts is how we think our cohorts feel about something, this is even more true for people without much critical thinking skill.

If they are deficient: it is always a good idea to address that.

Some reasons to suspect you are deficient: You don't get much exposure to sunlight for some reason (which would be a lot of people this year, what with lock down), you have a genetic disorder where you misprocess fats/fat soluble vitamins, you have known symptoms of deficiency.

If you are concerned at all, I highly recommend you look up known symptoms of deficiency. Look for a source you trust. .gov and .edu sites are typically deemed to be more trustworthy for info of that sort.
