It's a shame that this isn't more widespread view. I can also add that ads together with granular targeting are being used into manipulating people into buying things they wouldn't normally want or need, and that's sort of more sophisticated and legal scam.
I've read some stuff online, but everyone's using soil from shops it seems. I picked it from a farm nearby, crushed it as fine as I could, mixed it with my own compost (various vegetables and leaves), after a while outdoors all of it just gets processed by bacteria, it quite literally disappears, all of it becomes soil.

When putting it in the fabric pots (really good stuff, forget anything else) I mixed it with a small amount of pebbles and twigs to prevent it from compacting (which severely impacts growth, as roots can't push through it); I had nothing else and that seemed to do the trick.

But the thing is I used a makeshift metal cylinder to fill the pot with soil in the center and a layer of pebbles all around and at the bottom. The idea was that the plant would grow and get nutrients from the soil, then as the roots grow out into the pebbles they'd get more oxygen and water.

It's actually sort of a soil/hydroponic hybrid setup if I think about it. Seems to have worked great.

I also used simple NPK fertilizer, the plants react if you use too much (leaves turn yellower, tips start burning), so you know when to stop.

There's a lot of information out there, but honestly I learned more with hands-on experience than from reading dozens of articles and forum threads. I thought it would be rather simple, but it's definitely not just "plant it and forget it". I appreciate plant life more now, it's quite fascinating when you get into it haha.
> I don't see these moves as encouraging, more like signs of complete and utter panic.

I read the GP more in the lines of since everything is on fire and most of the house has already turned into coal, they demonstrating some panic is a much better behavior than the previous indifference about the fire, and a signal that they may decide to do something about it. Thus, expectations on Intel improved.

As someone who writes Windows software now and then, I’m genuinely excited. I tried using this early, when it was limited to WinRT bindings. It looked promising, but compile times were prohibitive. It seems like they now include a build.rs and have clear recommendations around caching — I hope this solves the problem. Has anyone tried a recent version?
Shoot, you are right. Fixed!

I'm surprised that nobody has implemented a google-maps style overlay for things like this. I would love to see the whole collection on a 2d grid that I can zoom in to see the images themselves -- maybe some organization tools to reposition the images on virtual grid for different aspects (by time, by artist, by colors) but the interface seems like such a natural fit, with dragging and zooming, rather than the page navigation they have here.
Benito Mussolini, the inventor of fascism, described his ideology as the merger of corporate and state power. He occasionally referred to it as "corporatism."
There’s a simple way to verify his claim, yet he has yet to do so. Why, if he could, would he not?

And why would the opinion of a single person (Gavin, or anyone) be relevant to wether or not Craig’s claim is factual?
> This is meant to be used if you want to pass some text containing escape characters or perhaps JSON.

I guess I don’t understand how this is an improvement. Perhaps it’s because I typically interact with the DB through a language-specific library/protocol like Python’s DB API, which handles escaping strings and parameterization without my really having to think about it.

Could you provide a specific example of when this might solve a real-world problem?
I had a lot of dating success both on Tinder and pre-Tinder. My experiences are of course anecdotal, but I think worth considering.

Tinder's focus on photos is somewhat misleading. A picture is, famously, worth a thousand words. If you treat Tinder as a simple HotOrNot game, you will have problems. But a photo contains a lot of information about a person: what their interests are, what's important to them, even whether they're conscientious enough to seek out a good picture. When you put up a picture of yourself at your hobby, or traveling, or in front of your bookshelf, you say a lot.

My heuristic was this: I examined each photo that caught my eye with a thought about something I could say to them. "Hey, I also visited City X!" "What a great fish tank. What do you raise?" Even "That dress is amazing" is a truthful statement about something that makes me interested in them. If I didn't have anything to say to them based on their photo -- maybe they'd be interesting In Real Life anyway, but at the very least I know that they're not very good at thinking about how they present themselves.

I do wish Tinder had better support for what text it does have. I'm a person of words, and would like to know that they have at least something to say. It's not presented by default and I don't think they push people hard enough to fill something out.

Still... I started several multi-year relationships on Tinder (and Bumble). Humor and kindness are still found there; they start in the chat and quickly move into the real world. (Being a person of words I really liked long involved chats before we met, but apparently a lot of women have experienced being strung along, and there's a push to meet up earlier rather than later. That tends to favor cities, where a lot of people are close by. The worst you lose is the time for a short coffee date.)

There are certainly plenty of difficulties, but I don't think the photo focus is as bad as you'd expect. I found it no more unnatural than other ways of meeting people, which are also often very visual since that's your first impression.
Is it even legal to claim copyright on a pseudonymously published work?
Well they bring in the language and its runtime to windows development via WinRT. They don't bring WinRT to Rust. This is the windows team writing adapters for their COM API surface. They do the same for C++, C#, JS and now Rust.
Not if you specify the versions to install, at least
I was, long ago, an old-school Unix sysadmin. While I was technically aware of how powerful smallish servers have become, this article really crystallized that for me.

64 cores and 24 NVME drives in a 2U spot on a rack is just insane compared to what we used to have to do to get a beefy database server. And it's not some exotic thing, just a popular mainstream Dell SKU.

If you price it out on Dell's site, you get a retail price north of $200k. That is really what made it clear for me. That you could fit $200k+ worth of DIMMS, Drives, CPUS into a 2U spot :)
Sites like this have a long tail problem. Yes doing a 100% dump would be best, but 90% of it is likely stuff that hasn't been accessed in years and never will again. So from a resourcing point of view it is better to save "most" than none at all.
But that wouldn't eliminate the need for unsafe code at the border. All ffi calls are inherently unsafe to Rust. You can design the cleanest nicest safest C api in the world but it's still unsafe as far as Rust is concerned.
There's something to what you've written, but I wonder whether it's too black/white. Even successful paper submission involves some level of strategizing / networking, sadly. So if you're published at all, you probably have some networking skills. It doesn't mean that one has to take time away from the other.

I have not yet worked in a lab setting or where my PI is strict about hours, but from my software background a lot of "butt in seat" time is not really productive. My instinct would be to automate as much as possible and spend less time at the bench. But again, this is theoretical at this point.

There was no year 0. A century is 100 years. So the first century was years 1 - 100, and the 20th from 1901 - 2000.
As someone who grew up in late Communist Czechoslovakia, the regime was absolutely obsessed with production of impressive statistics, especially those of heavy industry.

How much steel was produced yearly, how much coal was produced yearly, and how the old bourgeois Czechoslovakia (1918-1939) was so much worse off in comparison.

What was NOT trumpeted out loud:

* we were seriously behind in production of many consumer goods and in their quality,
* some parts of our industry could not compete with Western products on the account of being obsolete - especially electronics.
We don't know how it work.

That's it. Unless someone comes up with testable idea.

But inserting as a cause magical forces that we cannot even begin to explain as means of correcting time discrepancies.

So whats the point concocting hypothesis that there is no issues with time paradox all based on unknown? Its a plot for a SciFi novel not a paper.

I don't want to come across as a party-pooper, but those are outrageous claims with no meat and no bones.
I don't see why not, the winapi crate is.
Netflix runs on AWS, and even if they didn't, I would seriously question their management if they decided to hire chip designers. There's something to be said about being focused and not trying to do everything in-house, or specializing where it makes sense to do so.
Well, they said "fine with me", so... no?
Me too! I miss the era of the internet that Tucows represents.
There is this constant thread of seediness to the point of absurdity running through Bitcoin that makes it look like a joke that everyone is in on except the suckers buying into it. Which makes it hilarious for an observer... though I guess I don't get to laugh all the way to the bank, which is a fitting punchline.
Let’s say you produce wine in France. France has a new variant. We shut France down. You’re French and live there. You’re affected. I’m in Mauritania, I keep on working unaffected by your shutdown.

You’re saying it’s preferable to have your economy, my economy and everyone else’s economy because... it’s better for you if we all get shut down?

Look how excited scientists get when they discover organic compounds in a comet or something that looks like microorganisms in a Mars rock. I'm pretty sure aliens would be interested in studying why I drink Diet Coke instead of water & what consuming 4L a day does to me. Maybe I should also be wondering what it does to me...
Performance isn't the draw for these people, its battery life.

If you want to sell 2 billion smartphones, give the people a phone with 75% of the performance of an iPhone 11 or Galaxy S21, but a two week battery life.

You wouldn't be able to make them fast enough.
There was something magical about this era when I was a child downloading gameboy emulators like No$GBA.

Is there fewer people making desktop software nowadays? It seems there is less software available. It's also very hard to be profitable and monetize software.
Wow. I make less than $45/hr (salary with extra hours dragging it down further, but with benefits).

Assuming your prediction is so good that it completely eliminates surprise failures, OK. But if your software can handle surprise failures then it can handle them, and in that case I don't see the value of the prediction. The only valuable thing I can see is if a system could predict that you were going to have widespread, coordinated failure of so many drives that your ability to reconstruct a stripe was at elevated risk. But such a thing is science fiction (as the article demonstrates) and you can approximate it quite well by assuming that all drives of the same make and model with the same in-service date will fail at the same moment.
As kids we would catch them and keep them in jars for a few days, then release them again. We also caught king snakes and fed them blue belly lizards...which may lead you to understand our fear response with wild animals.

My Security Key 2 reports lacking this extension.

This is what the comment said before I updated it, in case it's important context for replies:

I believe that they do implement hmac-secret yes. For what it's worth this is the same feature (for the same reason) you need to enroll FIDO authenticators to unlock a Windows system, so if you use one to do that today, it definitely ought to work with this too.

I intend to spend the next few minutes playing with code to check I'm correct about this, but I might get distracted, so either there will be an edit saying I was right, saying I was wrong, or no edit because I watched Youtube.

This is the worst part of the internet: Tucows was such a bit part of life for so many people, and now it's just... gone. We have the internet archive, which is great, but it feels like there should be a way to highlight touchstones these sites.
Wrong again. Infrastructure for the most part depends on govt licensing and lends it self to monopolies or oligopolies.

When those oligopolies act in concert or along the same ideological lines what options do you have?

E.g. the authorities can seize cash from you as has happened to store owners who went to deposit it at the bank. If every bank refuses to serve you which you claim to be their right, then why do you have laws which to criminalize cash holdings if that forces you to withdraw your cash from them and hold it in the street or at your home?

One cannot criminalize large cash holdings arising from cash payments which is okay with many people while at the same time giving banks the right to deny service.
That's a little surprising, since Bol et al 2017 (https://bmcvetres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12917-...), testing catnip/Valerian/silvervine/honeysuckle on ~100 cats, found that the response to each is correlated. (I get a tetrachoric correlation of 0.6 for catnip/valerian in my analysis: https://www.gwern.net/Catnip#optimal-catnip-alternative-sele... )

I think you probably just got unlucky there.
Today Biontech also announced results showing induces a similarly strong immune response against the new variants, although I haven't read the details. .
The FDA is slow? Compared to what? They approved the first vaccine 3 days after the NHS.

If your window of success vs. failure is very small, you simply have to test before you push to prod. Especially when using a technique with a long history of failed attempts.
> But why would an intelligent species have to make any discoveries

Intelligence seems to be rather expensive thing to evolve and maintain. In biology, something that’s expensive has to translate to fitness advantage. Human mind gave humans an ultimate advantage when it comes to survival. All doom and gloom aside, we’re the only species that could potentially survive total annihilation of the planet. It’s not inconceivable that people could design the technology to sustain a civilization in space.

That’s why I think any intelligent species use their mind to build things and expand their knowledge about the universe. That’s the “purpose” of having intelligence.
I am 100% in the same boat. Had a recruiter reach out to me who wanted me to leave my more than comfortable six figure SV job to do cutting edge contract work in machine learning as a lead engineer for about $50/hour. I was so amused I actually spent the time listening to their pitch and eventually told them that anything less than $200/hour wouldn't even cover my current pay + benefits. Let me know if you can do better. They hung up. Lol
This is what Manara candidates often have experienced too, even when they're excellent. It can be very hard to get the attention of tech companies if you're applying from a country they don't usually work with, especially as a junior engineer. Some companies get 2k applications/role so the resumes go into an automated system to be processed.

Manara solves this problem by setting up partnerships with companies for our candidates. Have you thought about joining Andela?
China. A totalitarian state with massive centralization can’t get everyone to do things in unison. Imagine the rest of the world, save North Korea .
Based on their stated 225M sites and a renewal period of 90 days, they're probably averaging around 40 certificates per second. That's only an order of magnitude higher than bitcoin; I wouldn't call it an indication of an ability to scale to a particularly large amount of traffic.
From Supplemental Table S2 in the paper:

Non cancer patients: 26,
Cancer patients: 25

So, they only had 51 individuals in the study. Then they actually divided the patients in to 3 groups: normal, PCa with pre-DRE, and PCa with post-DRE. The cancer patients thus had 2 samples, pre and post-exam: 26 + (2*25) = 76.

Given the false positive rate of PSA screening, I would imagine that including more normal samples would have been more beneficial here. The method of analysis is pretty interesting though, which is where I think the novelty is for this paper. I assume that a more thorough clinical trial is planned with better numbers. This paper looks like it is more of a validation of the device than anything else.
This advice holds if you have a stock based compensation or a bonus based on profitability. Here wasting money on cloud directly impacts the profitability (and by extension, the worth of your stock).

If you are a dev that's paid to churn out features, and your compensation isn't stock based, just use whatever allows you the greater flexibility and velocity.
You started a wretched flamewar with this comment, which broke the site guidelines badly and predictably led to worse. Then you perpetuated it. This is criminal negligence if not arson, and we ban accounts for this kind of thing—especially now, after the hellfires this site went through in the last couple of weeks. We've raised the bar and are banning more accounts for abusing the site this way. I'm not going to ban you because your comment history shows that you've mostly been commenting about other things. But please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, keep the intended spirit of the site in mind, and don't do it again.
Absolutely, once you start working on your own postural issues you start noticing it in everyone around you as well. I do think anyone can gain that body awareness though, it's not just for those that have been athletic all their lives. I didn't come to having a physical exercise practice until my early 30s and the amount of internal body awareness I've gained in the past few years has been amazing. It really deepened my seated meditation practice as well.

Yoga definitely is great and I practice asana 5x per week. I will say that my injury came up during an asana class, though, and it wasn't until I really targeted my weak scapular muscle groups that it got better.
You're still thinking of this as a chain of events unfolding, rather than as a playback of a set of immutable, self-consistent events.

> The whole premise seems to be that this is allowed:

No. That was not the premise. The premise was an immutable representation of self-consistent state transitions, so what occurs in step 2 will always have occurred at that point in time, because otherwise the system isn't immutable. Step 1. just links step two into the causal chain of events in a way necessary to make the existence of 2. consistent.

Again: Think of a graph. An immutable graph. The flow of time in this model simply follows the graph. It doesn't do anything at all, it just replays the events.

The problem here is thinking about this as if there are choices being made as time passes.

> Just stating that “the past is fixed” doesn’t solve the paradox, it restates one of the premises.

It's not stating the past is fixed. It's stating everything is fixed.
I suspect they could be hearing echos that fall into a lower frequency outside of your hearing band.
It really depends on the model. If you're estimating a mean from a distribution with low variance, 76 can be quite enough. But for any even half-involved ML model, that's nothing.

The argument against protocols use to be that they do not want to promote anything. This in turn prevented adoption.

It's interesting, so he didn't see the limits of the system. Scaling tx/s is easy, scaling it without increasing block verification time and cost is what's impossible.

Sure, just because you used a pseudonym you don't lose the rights associated with being the author. Getting people and the legal system to believe you that you are the author is your problem though.
This sounds like another tool like Carta that VCs will require their portfolio companies use, thus giving you free reign to charge whatever you want. I will resent you just like I resented Carta, but you will do great. Best of luck!
Thanks for flagging them - hadn't heard of them previously.
And if you read the whitepaper it is pretty obvious that the author did not intent bitcoin to be a "digital gold" secondary settlement layer. And the low transaction fee "BSV" version is a lot closer to the original idea than the current "BTC" version.
I don't really think that's a fair description of the story here. Twitter hasn't yet engaged in any legal battle; this lawsuit was filed just yesterday and they haven't responded.
But we've just established that those people are going to kill themselves anyway. This is circular reasoning.
Upvoted for the subtle xkcd reference :)
I'm sure you don't want to have minitrue. Just as I am sure most people who made Russian revolution didn't really intend to have Gulag, Joseph Stalin, Hungary of 1956 and Prague of 1968. These things however have certain logic of its own, and gatekeeping tends to unfold into the direction of minitrue. That's just the internal logic of the things - and we can see it unfolding right now. First it was promoting the rightthinkers, then demoting the wrongthinkers, then banning the wrongthinkers from a platform, then banning the wrongthinkers from all platforms, then banning all mentions of wrongthinkers, then banning services that allow wrongthinkers, then destroying all services that allow wrongthinkers... Pretty soon there's just no place where wrongthink can happen, and how it's different from minitrue? That it's a trillion-dollar corporation that is doing it, not the government? DO I really care? The result is the same.
Good thing they got Trump off of there, though! Whew.
