> I've been doing weightlifting (not bodybuilding which you should not do if you value your body long-term! Strength Training and a bit of Olympic Weightligting)

Much of what bodybuilders do is strength training, especially at the non-professional levels.

At amateur levels, effective strength training and effective body building are going to be pretty similar.
If you haven't watched Roving Mars (about Spirit and Opportunity), it's a must watch as well.
Freedom comes with realpolitik, always.

At some point, people learn that their lives are better without this or that group constantly coming in and will take protective/separatists measures. Which is exactly what you are seeing.
I mean of course they can but that doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do, or even productive towards a country’s ends, or beneficial to then international community. Peace relies on honoring agreements. If you see countries start breaking their obligations, stand back and go “whelp that’s guns for ya” I’d call that a pretty regressive take on international relations.
I've tried chest straps once or twice and found them pretty uncomfortable, though its possible I would get used to it.

The advantage of these standalone optical sensors is that because they are smaller & lighter, and sit on the fleshier upper arm, they are much more accurate than sensors on a watch, despite being the same tech.

Edit: DC Rainmaker's analysis shows that these are more or less as good as a chest strap (https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2019/03/polar-oh1-plus-optical-h...)
> "we are the ones who’ve built the big tech industry"

Some of the participants on HN are some of the those who've build the big tech industry. It's always important to keep in mind that HN is more than just "big tech" and that "big tech" is more than just HN. Just as it's important when we're categorizing or characterizing any sufficiently large community.

The biggest thing that AWS offered in the beginning was extreme proximity to the backbone. Their services have grown by the dozens, and other hosting services have followed suit, but they remain (as far as I know) one of the closest points [ EDIT: without co-location ] you can put a VM to the backbone.

My recollection was that the announcements of the Obama administration had really low engagement. When Obama took the campaign hat off and put the presidential hat on, he occupied a proportionally smaller part of the public mind. Trump did not want to take the campaign hat off because he didn't want to let the amount people were thinking about him go down.
How can I meet people half way when they have no interest in respecting me or meeting me half way? Many people view guns as inherently evil, view me as inherently evil for possessing them, and explicitly say they want to ban all firearms / there is no legitimate use case for firearms full stop. It's very difficult to take a moderate stance with such people when they are trying to shout me down and are demanding capitulation rather than moderation.

> I know a bunch of gun owners too, and the overlap is very substantial. It's all the same people, really. Obviously not every gun owner is a right wing terrorist, but they all subscribe to the same magazines and subreddits and all imagine the same euphemisms about freedom and protection and self-determinism.

QED, you make unfounded and sweeping generalizations and then are surprised when people get defensive. When you employ rhetoric such as this, opponents will fight you just to do it.
> The language doesn’t have to be good to make money, in fact in can be quite bad.

In fact, I think that there's an inverse relationship between how good a language is, and how much money has been made with it, on the condition that you have heard of it.

Why? Well if you've heard of a language, it's likely because it is a language that has proliferated through the community. The worse a language is the more it must have made people money to 'survive' and proliferate.

Think of the worst/ugliest languages you can think of (coming to my mind is Visual BASIC, C++, PHP, Javascript). These are languages that made an exceptional amount of money, and this allows them to survive despite being so bad.
> We believe that the initial research and design labour costs can be ignored since these costs have been spread out over different models of the iPhone and the contribution of the research and development cost is increasingly negligible for the newer iPhones.

Is it? I believe that there are hundreds (or thousands?) of engineers working for Apple full time. And I can see that just keeping linux at my home computer updated needs combined efforts of hundreds of people at very least. So it seems very unlikely to me that R&D costs for newer iPhones are negligible. Am I right?
It comes in because the subheading and first paragraph are carefully written to capture brexit-inflamed eyeballs.

They do later tell you "11 countries to allow emergency use of the product" and "The UK ... joined EU countries including Belgium, Denmark and Spain in signing emergency authorisations", but easy to miss on the first skim.

That doesn't of course imply that it's a great idea. A 25% decline in £18m worth of sugar doesn't really sound like a big enough deal, but maybe localized short-term use of chemical weapons also isn't such a big deal, I don't know?
It's a pipeline engine for Kubernetes[1]. The idea is to build a tool that can be flexible enough for CI/CD, but also used for other things such as for example data processing.

The pipelines are just designed as serial and parallel execution of pods with no fancy features (i.e. loops or conditions) and the idea is to let other tools generate more complex pipelines using code.

Responsibility of triggering the pipelines is decoupled to standalone controllers such as github-screener[2] which enables triggering of pipelines used for CI/CD.

The project currently builds itself, but the docs are a bit outdated and there's quite a lot progress to be made.

Lower the contrast? Strongly disagree. Its use of gray text on a dark blue background is pretty common. If anything, the contrast is too low; I'd brighten the text if I were the designer. But it's readable.

In my opinion, what makes it a bit difficult to read is the use of a fixed-width font for body text. Fixed width is great for code, but proportional-width fonts are easier for reading prose.

This is wrong. Gradient descent derives from multivariate calculus, not evolution.
I tried the fediverse, only to find just as many constant reminders of the culture wars there as on Twitter, though the bulk of fediverse servers have selectively federated in order to ensure that views represent one end of the ideological spectrum. If you are the sort of person who prefers to avoid discussions about political and social issues, then the fediverse is no escape.
I wonder how these firms coordinate actions like this?

I don't think you're arguing in good faith. Making a throwaway account just to talk down to other people mourning the loss of their financial planning tool is a pretty shitty thing to do.
Before people start flagging this because it has the scary bearded man's name attached, it's actually a really accessible introduction to fundamental economic ideas without much political musing, if any. It does this with common, everyday items (iPhone) and common every day ideas, coupled with nice graphics.

I think it fits the bill HN has for intellectual curiosity fairly well.
For neck pain take a look at your jaw. About 15% of people have a jaw that pops and many of them have pain from it.

When i followed my dentists advice to get a bite guard for bruxism, diffuse neck and back pain i had for years was greatly reduced, focalized in one muscle, and responsive to ibuprofen. 6 mo later it feels like the kind of injury that takes a year or so to heal. My dentist referred me to an orthodontist who referred me to another practitioner until i'd reached a university medical center a 2hr drive away and was told the doc would call me back in 7 days.

Review articles on pubmed said imaging and other procedures are not worth pursuing, maybe 100 papers were reviewed, 90% were rejected by Cochraine, the only supported treatment is biofeedback -- that is something you can sometimes do w/o equipment by feeling the muscle yourself or with your finger. Which I am doing this week and right now i feel great. There is some chip you can hook up to an arduino that i might try.

This condition is 100% physical, 100% mental, 100% spiritual. Stress causing teeth grinding, that damages the jaw, a very small lesion can cause big pain and distress, more tooth grinding, ... it is depressing and for some people disabling.
30% is a completely arbitrary level that you’ve picked with no justification. I’d suggest you cite some sources to provide depth to the argument that 30% of world power is materially different.
this made me curious. it appears the significant advances in liposomes occurred in 1995. i believe doxil was the first drug delivered by a viable liposome product as earlier efforts could not hide the liposomes from the body’s immune system.

Seriously! Though maybe to be fair, the design of the spine isn’t that great. I mean it’s amazing. And simultaneously can’t take the abuse we pile on it. Whoever invents the cure to deteriorating joints and deteriorating nerves is going to solve half the world’s pain and also become very rich.

You can do that yourself as a one-off change using the web tools. On Chrome, just right click on some whitespace and click inspect. On the bottom right, you'll find an option to the change the background color of the body section. There's something similar on firefox as well.

FYI the term "Native American" usually refers to the indigenous people of America. You could maybe refer to yourself as "non-American," a "first-gen American," or an "American immigrant," depending on what you are and what you're trying to say.

Yes, it’s incredibly silly and ridiculous. It’s no coincidence that most of the people I know in real life who support socialism also agree with the statement “We’ve already invented everything”.

Meanwhile we are still in the dark ages technology-wise.

Let me know when a worker cooperative assembles the next iPhone from scratch.

Why don’t supporters of socialism assemble worker cooperatives and prove to us they can innovate?

VanillaStack: Open-source-only cloud-native stack based on Kubernetes
Production ready skeleton projects for bootstrapping new projects. I've used this approach professionally for over 7 years, but never marketed much past my current team.

Included: JS and Python package /microservice / serverless projects; Serverless Benthos; LaTeX paper; zsh and neovim config.

https://github.com/makenew/

Reasons why this approach is successful

1. Most project generators don't provide a simple way to keep boilerplate updated. These projects leverage git merge and git diff which is designed for the task. So keeping all the generated projects updated as tools evolve is actually possible.

2. Fork friendly: you can fork and customize these repos to create your own personalized skeleton project, and still merge updates from the original.

3. These projects give you a working CI deployment.

4. The projects themselves are REAL working examples which are deployed / published.

5. Isolated boilerplate so any issues with tooling can be verified, tested, and upgraded independently.
The things are submitted by users. Things to show is being selected using an algorithm similar to the one of HN (where age of submission, number of votes etc) play a role.

Nothing fancy about this project, but I seem to use it as a bookmarking service where I tend to share things I find interesting. I use it also as a blogging platform where I sometimes post random thoughts as well as articles on how I solved a problem in IT which is otherwise undocumented.
The tech isn't as important to the economy as much as the ability to scale, given current (or historic) technological costs.

Transistors theory and gate logic haven't fundamentally changed in decades, but would you say computing hasn't quickly changed?

Alternatively, we can bombard lead with protons to make gold, or generate net energy via fusion reactions, but alchemy nor fusion are currently economically impactful on the global market, except maybe as a line item for research.

People underestimate the importance of efficiency and economics when looking at things in a purely technological perspective.

I just launched an app to facilitate Chinese reading using pinyin. The concept is that you can simulate reading Chinese textbook passages, except with any text you choose, so it is more contextually relevant and interesting to learn.

https://duguo-app.com

Right now, it only offers pinyin as a phonetic guide -- I'm looking to add zhuyin next. Also, the front-end is pretty basic. Open to any suggestions and feedback on the project!
I keep running into CMake based things not being portable, and being broken. And pretty much every single time cmake fails, it does not have ANY log AT ALL of what it did, and why it thinks libfoo is not there.

Take autotools. You get EXACTLY what it did, and you see why it failed. With CMake it just goes "you don't have X installed". But I do. It's right there. CMake refuses to say under what cmdline or whatever it tried, and what the error was. Just "X IS NOT THERE!".

And then it depends on some version of cmake being installed, which it may not be.

I don't do windows coding, but shouldn't autotools be more viable now that Windows ships with bash?

But even if not, CMake stuff as a rule is not even portable between different flavors of Unix, so why even use CMake if it's only going to work on Ubuntu more recent than 18.04 or whatever? It's not a silly suggestion. OpenBSD generally just has raw Makefiles.

The hunters I know who use AR15s for hunting (I think it's elk, not deer) are ex-snipers.

Nothing about my message should suggest anything about the humanity of using assault rifles to hunt deer. It's entirely about being factual about the nature of assault weapons, which some gun nuts seem to intentionally deny.
It seems the author's repeated and overuse of the word 'fascist' and 'Nazi' sounds like a far cry of the nature of the website in question that they're targeting. On each use, the word starts to become meaningless.

De-platforming works to some extent until you keep continuously doing it; then it doesn't work. In fact, it creates an even worse outcome. They will either start running their own servers, creating their own encrypted chat rooms on either Signal or Telegram which they cannot be kicked out of.

Nice technical read though. But this I'm afraid is not the solution.

@wheybags I recommend achieving defined-before-use quicksort by throwing in some unnecessary Haskell syntax extensions:

For squats the one thing people need to keep in mind is it requires decent hip and posterior chain flexibility before you get to anything more than moderate weights.

Especially office workers often struggle with that. Simple test: squat all the way down without a weight without lifting your heels and without falling backwards... If you can, your mobility is pretty ok. If you can't.. Well, you should fix that.

I did the mistake of squatting with poor mobility a while when I first started out, and hurt myself before figuring that out. Took just a few weeks of stretches to fix. Incidentally the same stretches (touching toes or floor, squatting and holding the position without a weight - if you can't do it at all start by holding on to something in front of you to keep you from falling) is great if sitting a lot too.
HotasDB (https://www.hotasdb.com)

Last April, being holed up in the lockdown made me rediscover the fascinating world of flight simulators, and was encouraged enough that I bought a throttle and joystick and quickly ran into a massive barrier to entry: understanding and setting up the controls to fly the damn things.

Two popular offerings in this space (IL-2 and DCS) have inadequate defaults and tedious and complicated control mappers. It's very hard currently to know if you'll enjoy flying if your initial experience is being forced to assign a spreadsheet of controls when you don't know what value any input has. It's exacerbated if you do this in VR because you can't see what you're holding and the games often don't indicate to you if your actions have any effect. There are public config files, but they are often incompatible because they are out of date or mapped to equipment you don't have.

I set out to make a browser-based tool that:

- Presented a more welcoming visualization for making assignments

- Cross-controller sensible defaults for these two games

- Let you import, export and share with others

I feel happy that I've reached these goals but I have yet to get much attention for it. Admittedly it does not quite yet reduce much of the burden on new players.

Ultimately the development time-cost of supporting the fractal of combinations of joysticks and config formats was higher than I expected (and I expected it to be very high). I reached out to the game developers and accessory manufacturers for funding and had some interest but nothing came through. My day job and a relocation bled the hours away that I'd have available to keep moving on it, so it's very slow going now but I hope to keep plugging along.

Short-term upcoming milestones:

- MS Flight Simulator support (where the heck do they store their configs?)

- Printable PDF's of where controls are on your joystick

- Custom controllers and Joystick Gremlin support

Long term milestones:

- Building a community of user submitted profiles

- An Electron app to...

- Copy your profiles into wherever a game expects them to be

- Provide pop-up notifications as you take actions that describe what's occurring (particularly in VR I would think this would be valuable)

The project is React-based with a lambda-based 'backend' and runs on a free Netlify tier. I'd be open to bringing in help if someone's passionate about it.
