Might be unconventional, but I've noticed that _breath patterns_ and correct posture while stretching (i.e. being in a rounded neck posture while stretching probably adds to harm...)

For that, I've found this video guide to be one of the best and it feels significantly better than others. https://yogawithadriene.com/10-minute-yoga-quickie-neck-shou...

I invite any HNer to try it out and _really focus on the mindset and breathing patterns_ recommended by the guide. It's excellent, especially the part where you put the opposite hand on the ear and stretch.

Right, it's users, not tech (it's always people, not tech - Twitter is a problem not because it's centralized, but because of decisions made by people at the helm).

What both 'tgsovlerkhgsel and I are trying to say is that there is this kind of realpolitik going on at Mastodon, of which you should be aware before considering to join. You start going against the "party line", you risk getting defederated or, if you're an user on someone else's instance, having your instance's admins pressured to ban you on the threat of the whole instance getting defederated by others. And it's a significant threat, because as much as Mastodon is distributed, people still want to stay connected to the major instances.

I myself moved from Twitter to Mastodon a while ago and very much enjoy it, but I also try to not say anything there that would attract interest of the defederationists.
Oh well, for that he would have needed a mob of at least several millions. If that's what he really hoped for, he was off by at least four orders of magnitude.

It's like AirTable/Lists/etc but for big organizations.

So the focus is on a more useful permission system, handling lots of data, dead simple data entry for tech-phobic employees, and getting the information you need quickly (as opposed to spending time fiddling around with how data is displayed, this isn't an "app builder").

The intent is to replace the hundreds of untracked, out of sync, insecure Excel files being used as a database in most large orgs.

Cool tech note - people learn to use a graph database with Cloudternal, even if they never know what a graph is.
Same for me. I have this mindset now that whenever I get back pain I need to deadlift / squat it out albeit with a slightly lower weight than usual. It seems to go away every time after a few sets.

Worried about WhatsApp? A look at the three popular alternatives for messaging
The history of the region is far more complicated of course, you’re neglecting that Macau wasn’t lost in a war. It was leased as a trading post. There’s no reason to believe that the contiguous border China would like to espouse is either historically fair or reasonable today. Macau is more like St Pierre and Miquelon or Point Roberts. It’s governed under the same terms as HK.

It’s also unclear why Taiwan should be “recovered” at all, they were two factions of the cultural revolution sure, but that doesn’t mean they should be unified now any more than the UK should “recover” America.

Arguably it's the success of science that has allowed us to destroy our environment. Back in the middle ages we didn't have much leverage over nature.

I am working on a tool called Playbook (https://useplaybook.app). Playbook is an application that allows anyone who presents product demos to tell a more complete, integrated story.

One of the primary features of many SaaS products is how they integrate smoothly with other platforms customers are already using, like Salesforce or Slack. However, in a demo environment, it can be difficult to show that workflow in a way that doesn't require flipping between persona accounts and taking precious time to generate the activity. Playbook hooks into a demoer's demo accounts and facilitates creating "plays", automated workflows between any number of SaaS apps that show off your product's integrations. It also supports working with multiple personas to create lifelike collaboration instantly.

There are still many kinks to work out but this is the first step in building Demo Engineering-as-a-service.
My understanding is that you would sue the person who originally posted the content. You can sue "John Doe" and subpoena the social media companies and internet service providers for information to identify the poster.

From the link below, at least the effect on bumble bees is clear cut:

The impact of neonicotinoids on bumble bees is more in agreement. The majority of lab, semi field, and field studies report negative implications of neonicotinoids. Of four field studies investigating bumble bees [23-26], three report such effects [23, 25, 26]. These bees are about 2-3 times more sensitive than honey bees to neonicotinoid toxicity [13, 27, 28].

Cash needs to be accessible to be useful.

Crypto is magnitudes more accessible. I can travel to any country in the world with an encrypted usb drive of my seed words, and no one is wiser. OR even upload a file to the internet and forego carrying anything at all. A government can try to censor transactions belonging to an address, but we don't have good precedent to see how the network will behave. Miners in other jurisdictions have no reason to follow someone else's censorship.

I built football11challenge.com after spending a ridiculous amount of time solving this challenge on twitter: https://twitter.com/Carra23/status/1250066001821130759

I wanted to extend on the initial premise by allowing users to define and share arbitrary constraints for a soccer starting 11 and automate verification of a squad given the set of constraints.

It needs a little bit of polish but overall I really learned a lot working on it. Typescript + React is wonderful combination. It was my first time working with Django and it was a pleasant experience.

Do play around with it and any feedback is welcome. Thanks!

Here's an example of a "challenge": https://football11challenge.com/challenge/601246266
You're misunderstanding my point.

Assault is a crime, yes, what she did was wrong - yes, of course - I agree with that.

But what she is being destroyed for is 'racism' - not 'assault and false accusation'.

She was being irrational (1=2) and then because of this, castigated for racism - which is a much more devious charge.

Also - it's shocking that anyone is 'shocked' over such a pedestrian encounter. Have HN readers never been in a fight before? Have folks literally never been in an argument?

This kind of stuff is 'daily' on the streets, at WallMart, etc. It's not very civil obviously, but it's really common for people to get upset over things. We have bouncers at bars for this reason. But we're adults and we move past it.

And - 'false accusation' in this manner is clearly not criminal. The woman had her phone stolen, it's reasonable for her in a hysterical state and just see the first iPhone and possibly think it's hers. Again, not nice at all, but not completely crazy.

The proper response to a hysterical person who had their phone stolen, and who maybe thinks you have it is to 'take the high ground' and calmly demonstrate your ownership. That's all. I don't expect this of a kid, but that could have happend.

That we have a 'national story' with literally Al Sharpton because someone 'grabbed someone's arm' is utterly ridiculous. The kid is 'seeking counselling' because someone 'touched him forcefully'? It's a farce. They've turned this utterly minor incident into a bad SNL parody.

Finally - I'm not implying their couldn't have been racism either, this woman could possibly just as nasty as it gets, it's impossible to tell.

And of course, the whole point of CNN putting this on the news is not that this specific moment is important, but that it could be demonstrative of 'systematic racism in the commons' and they want to make an example out of her - but lacking any possible reference to racial motivation, it's just plain stupid.

In summary - this is an example of certain parts of the media castigating individuals who may be of a certain persuasion (in this case 'White') for no reason, and I can see people getting upset over that.

The riot on capital hill however was not mostly a political movement of general malaise, rather, it was specifically about that certain people feel the election was stolen. It was mostly certainly not stolen, but they believe that because Trump told them so, and that's the primary motivation issue of the violence at this point.
While we certainly need to take care of our bodies, it would be helpful if we reinvented computers enough so we aren’t hunched over our computers all day.

I sit relaxed with a tablet in my lap and use an Apple Pencil when possible.

Of course, it’s not a great productivity device but at least it’s a slightly different position.

Voice, cameras or radar for gestures, etc could be used to augment computing devices.

4 hours a day with a keyboard and the rest standing or sitting back using a different method of interface would be better.

> There's no conflation, Twitter and Facebook are the modern day public square.

I've argued against this POV here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25648997

That said, I'm not opposed to them becoming the modern day public square. It just doesn't happen because a bunch of people think it already has. New legislation to make social media a public utility? I'd support appropriately constructed forms of that. But de facto isn't de juris, and for now these are private corporations running their own private messaging systems.
Just remember, that "luck" is partially the result of funding the basic and translational research that yielded this breakthrough even before there was an immediate need for it.
Incredibly helpful, thank you!

I don't have any interest in promoting a specific vaccine. Just disdain for skewed reporting. FYI there are multiple adenovirus-based vaccines available (Oxford/AstraZeneca, Sputnik V).
I've been looking into making something like that myself. My beef with current platforms is that they are good for extracting metrics and routing logs to their correct team (by service/deployment/...) but not so much for analysis.

When there's a problem in my system, I want to bring up multiple views, manually annotate, highlight the new debug log statements I just added, mark events as good/bad from complicated rules, etc.

None of the current systems (except maybe Grafana+Loki) really do this, they focus on ahead-of-time ingestion rules and tags. I would love a desktop or web tool that can do that, working from a log file that I can easily extract from my log platform.

Yeah, here a source says "significantly less" than $100 million, but people's definitions of significant can be very different. At least I'd think that rules out $96 million.

If you think this is on the same level as the mob of violent insurrectionists who invaded (and planned to take hostages) inside the highest legislature in the land simply because "their guy" didn't win the election, I don't think there is anything I can tell you that would convince you otherwise. The Portland protestors were both less violent and actually had legitimate grievances (decades of police brutality and state violence against people of color).

Instead of focussing on effectiveness or market share, focus on the aesthetics of using the tool. The one you simply enjoy using more is the one you should go with. It might be something as simple as a color scheme or a type face that pushes you, ultimately.

In any case, I think that our brains naturally amplify small differences to make these choices easier, just as our visual system sharpens edges. Go with your gut.
We're still the ones pointing the guns in that scenario.
Explaning monads in terms of category theory is like explaining regular expressions in terms of finite automata. It's a good idea if you're writing a textbook, but maybe not so much if you're writing documentation for users of a programming language.

That last point was something neither I nor my dozen readers had noticed, but the editor I hired did. It was such a major point that I decided the book needed a near-complete rewrite to fix. The editor was worth the money just for that one thing!

You're definitely right about genre conventions playing a big role. That said, you can still say "I think the character hasn't suffered enough, but maybe that's normal in this genre". What I said about my own editor is actually interesting because they don't normally edit my genre, which was obvious in some aspects, but they could still point out the pacing / tension issue.

Exactly so. It would've been the smartest to clip the head off once the most momentum would have been blown off. That could've choked the entire movement.

Ah, fair enough, thanks for clarifying! Thanks for promoting the hard work of other authors.
People keep forgetting that GC enabled languages like F#, Haskell, D, C#, OCaml, also provide mechanisms to fine tune memory allocation, its location on the stack and global memory segments besides GC heap, and even native heap.

Additionally some of them, like Haskell being discussed here, are also extending their type systems to provide Rust like guarantees for resource management, for the 1% uses cases where it really matters.

As for my short experiments doing graphics programming with Rust, it is naturally an impediment, that proves the point that Rust place is as systems programming language filling the same role as C++ on Android, UWP or Apple platforms, the low level drivers, compiler toolchain, windows system compositor.
We live in a totally post fact world. Nobody wants to hear truth, they just make up whatever story they want to believe and pretend that makes it fact.

I've been working for some time on a capture the flag web game called Rock Paper Scissor Battle!, which is basically a simplified version of Stratego, but the pieces are rock, paper and scissor instead of numbers). Its open source on my Github: https://github.com/daniel-bytes/rps-scala, the backend is Scala and Redis and the frontend React + Typescript. I have a live version of it up at http://rock-paper-scissor-battle.com/, although I have a feeling any real level of traffic will topple over my $5/mo Heroku dyno. Also don't mind the goofy font landing page. :)

I'm overall happy with the backend code, except for the "AI", which can use some real work and research. Right now just some basic semi-random rules that make it pretty easy to beat.

Perhaps the difference is that according to the article, the scientific demons are explanatory metaphors, presumed to be imaginary; and according to Plato, Socrates acted like his daemon is real?

[edit, wording and punctuation]
Now I'm more confused. If there is no hidden internal state what is the difference between a function and a Functor? If it's just taking input and giving output without any internal state, that's just a function isn't it?

Edit: ok I did some more refreshing of memory. So Functor is an interface with some properties like identity[1] and distributive morphism (I think I'm wording that right). That's just an interface. I can implement that in Java or F# if I want. How is haskell helping here?

> The problem with ray tracing isn’t writing one, the problem is its usability, to get the most realistic AND fast enough.

Times sure have changed eh? 640x480/30s is ~ 10k rays/sec. Now we have ray tracing GPUs that can do well over 10B rays/sec with full floating point.

When I think about this (reading the article) it always has dumbfounded me how much more intelligent and thoughtful the founding fathers and many other intellectuals of the 1700's were then our current corporate CEO's and lifelong politicians.

However, the more I think about it, the more I realize in the 1700's they lived a life of dealing with people so they had to work together and it forced them to see peoples motives so they could more easily call out the basic human behaviors. Most times conflict then was not resolved in a court or kept on an Internet forum but through physical means, and when war or fighting is the conflict resolution method you learn to avoid it as the costs are so much greater. Today, so much of our society sits behind a keyboard and spews vitriol and hatred just to see what happens, and then polarizes people behind false walls and narratives, destroying what people strived so hard to put together over 200 years ago.

Sadly in the US, I think the lack of studying history for what it was and the reasons the founders fought for the laws and protections we have has doomed us to repeat so many of the same mistakes of times prior. Many of our citizens, especially those who have grown up in the digital age, need to relearn why freedom is delicate and applying rules to thee but not to me is a recipe for immense societal pain. They need to see past Trump who is a symptom of the deeper problem, and instead of focusing on silencing a voice or opinion they don't like, they need to learn to protect it because their voice will be next as the cycle will spin faster and faster until it spins off axis.
