They only disappear if you need to find them.

Case in point: The vet. Our cat somehow knows from our behaviour that the visit is today, and disappears off the face off the earth. We had to cancel a visit because we spent more than two hours searching and were late.

So new appointment a day or 2 later, and we watch every step of the beastie like hawks. She disappears behind a cabinet, does not come out, and can be found neither behind or inside. Huh? It turns out the back of the cabinet is open, and there is a really tiny space between drawer and back. If I open a drawer, she goes up/down a layer.

I knew all the time she was less than 50cm from me, and it still took me 15 minutes to figure this out. I've been thinking about creating a tracker, but then , the cat healed enough to lower the frequency of vet visits.
The Apollo thing is just an illustration of a pattern a bunch of our customers want to be able to do --- fine-grained API caching. I hope it's obvious than the HTTP connection to OpenLibrary isn't the point. :)

But: while you can very easily use TLS to backhaul to an API, a more "modern" Fly.io way to solve this problem is with WireGuard gateways; it's trivial --- I'd argue, easier than configuring SSH certs --- to get a WireGuard link from your cache app on Fly back to AWS, GCP, or wherever your non-Fly legacy database lives.

I really think WireGuard is going to change a lot of the ways we design systems like this.
I ended up using diigo.com for a while, but I remember finding the android client pretty annoying to use and I kind of faded off it.

Just logged in for the first time in like 5 years and all my stuff is still saved on there and I see they have an API. Might revisit.

To the point though, it was pretty close to delicious with tagging and I remember liking some other features it had, though the details elude me now.
I gave up and am waiting for 4.0 release when I couldn't reasonably implement foreground transparency around the mouse.

Quaker instants, sure, but whole grain with no added sugar? I beg to differ.

Oats are among the lowest/slowest carb grains we have.

I posted because my friends David Singer and Peter Hoddie started the "Standardization of the ISO Base Media File Format" effort, having proposed the QuickTime file format to MPEG way back in the late 90s.

After 20-ish years of work on the ISO base media file format, that specification now underlies MP4, 3GP, and HEIF. Huzzah!

Alternatively they could abolish student debt instead of adding more fuel into the fire. Expensive, but it would free many from a lifetime of payments.
Debugging high ping at home once mtr (or similar, I think it was a graphical tool) showed the first 5 or 6 hops all in the ISPs network and taking about ⅔ of the time; going from UK to USA and then leaving their network in Amsterdam IIRC only to terminate at another data-center in UK. Pretty crazy.

Ha, it only just struck me that could have been an NSA-type routing issue!?!
I agree with you, mostly. I don't think Rembrandt, or Caravaggio, or almost any other pre-impressionists look photographic. They're representational, but they're also highly stylized. All of the 'Old Masters' exaggerated or idealized forms, and exaggerated temperature, gamut, and contrast. The number of people that actually meant to practice trompe l'oeil (fool the eye) is very small. Trompe l'oeil is generally seen as a schtick; if you don't have anything original to add, then don't bother.
No, it really is mostly about skiing (see above).

Amsterdam, Frankfurt and (perhaps surprisingly) Marseilles are the places to go if you want to optimize for routing.

Equinix has datacenters, with he.net POP, in all three places. You could do a lot worse than standardizing, globally, on EQX datacenters and he.net connectivity ...
Not great, but also: people above this asked why the system doesn't get reformed, and the answer is that doctors are popular with the voting population, and tackling their salaries will only have a modest impact in reducing costs.

This is not to say that doctor's pay shouldn't be addressed, but the system doesn't get reformed because every discussion on fixing it gets derailed into a discussion of doctor's pay, which is literally the highest-effort lowest-payoff part of the problem. And the situation stays bad because of this dynamic.
I think the major fault with these studies is there participants know the benefits will end. I think this biases them towards continued working because they view it as a short term windfall that won’t sustain them rather than a long term solution. It would be incredibly hard to design an experiment to control for this.

Conversely, I think the hard part about implementing UBI is that it would be incredibly hard to roll back once people become accustomed to it
RA uses chalk [1], which is a trait solver rewrite for rustc. You can already use it on nightly with a feature flag.

So RA can get close to the trait resolution of the compiler, which is probably the most challenging part. I haven't used Intellij in a while, but I doubt they can ever get close with their custom implementation. I always had trouble with trait resolution/autocompletion, which is often where you need from the IDE the most.

That statement is technically correct. And while being technically correct is great for the fictional bureaucrats on Futurama (I really miss that show), it can also lead to click-bait headlines.

Most people will read a headline that says "The association between..." to mean that there is an association (because that is how it is typically used).
Just as significant for HFT is that speed of light through air is significantly higher (3/2) than speed of light through glass.

It really is.

> I'm kind of an anxious person and someone moving that aggressively to block my path sets off my fight or flight very badly.

I really think that is a correct response. In a lot of cases, the sale comes closed to guaranteed once they get you into the conversation. They can lean into things like guilt, social etiquette, the your desire to look nice in order to make you feel like you have to buy in order to leave. That's why they choose sell by interrupting people on the streets instead of via other means.
It is fun to cherry-pick the most favorable facts for your argument from a source.

This[0] Time article is the [9] from your wikipedia copypasta. It discusses details of 6 pieces of conservative abortion legislation. The Alabama law you link is the only one with a provision to "prevent serious health risk to the mother". The rest all use the much higher bar of "serious risk of the substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function". All ban abortions starting within the first trimester, most at 6 weeks. All but Ohio have no exceptions in the case of rape and incest.

Of course I am arguing with you on substance, I am replying to you and your intellectually dishonest arguments regarding abortion. I'm not discussing the upper thread. You are an attorney; this isn't ignorance, it's dishonesty. US abortion laws are not more radical than other developed nations. The WaPo opinion piece you linked is a terrible source[1].

I hate this kind of dishonesty with a passion. If you live in a conservative state in America, getting an abortion is significantly harder than in most other developed countries. Legislation is constantly proposed to try to make it even more difficult.

Most developed countries recognize a significant state interest in the human rights of women. Parts of the United States make exceptions.

[1]: It includes nice goodies, like:

> the Guttmacher Institute’s data suggests that “most women seeking later terminations are not doing so for reasons of fetal anomaly or life endangerment.” Just to be clear.

When you chase down the study[https://doi.org/10.1363/4521013], the #1 reason for late abortions is needing to raise funds for the abortion. #2 is not knowing about the pregnancy.

> "...a woman’s perhaps fleeting state would be sufficient to end a baby’s potentially viable life"

Well, you know, women, they're controlled by their emotions.../s
Maybe explain to people what Cholesterol is, it delivers essential materials to cells. That's the hypothesis for why you find high cholesterol in the blood of those with heart or coronary disease, those cells are damaged and need resupply.
It guarantees a certain level of means. Obviously. It's not intending to address people who live outside their means; there are other controls for that. It's to ensure that a person's means is sufficient to cover their basic needs.

A person who is responsible with $10 a month may not be a credit risk, but clearly can't cover their needs; a person spending $10k a month when their job pays them only $8k is clearly a credit risk, living outside their means, despite earning enough to cover far more than their basic needs. You're strawmanning.
I wonder how many First Amendment lawyers would be champing at the bit to take a case where a prosecutor was dumb enough to charge someone with a crime for assisting dissidents to communicate.
Same, good egg to you my friend.
I'm sure all of our experiences differ, but in my experience, the senior folks would "own" a piece of the puzzle. Depending on the scale, that could be a feature, an app, or in Enterprises, multiple platforms. You'd often be on a team, with each member being primary owner of some areas, and other people cross-trained to back you up. You owned your area like a Scrum PO would, sometimes with your own team to help, while your manager would be the liason with the business to find out what their new needs were, then hand it off to you to make it happen.

For projects too large to take on yourself, there would a be a project manager would would pull everyone together, talk about what needed done, plan it out, and you'd do your part, with the PM checking in on everyone, coordinating meetings, and making sure everyone was on schedule.

That is really where Agile came from - breaking down those knowledge silos, sharing responsibilities, and trying to deliver progress in small chunks vs. 6-12 month projects that would waste an entire year if you got off-track.
No. Addicts (after being tricked into addiction by the Sacklers and McKinseys of the world) without the war on drugs could continue to consume legal, clean opiates, which would fail to lead to fent overdoses, and fail to push users into grinding poverty and crime. Being a opiate addict would be like being an asthmatic, just without the high mortality rate that asthma brings.
Nice work.
It always gives me heart burn when the docs say “basically the same” because now I have to do some digging to determine if the performance gains are worth my understanding if I am inside the “basically same” use case or in the “unfortunately slightly different or unsupported” use case.

Not to mention standard community/ ecosystem/ migration risk.
Communication is key to both of those things.
If akathisia from SSRIs is supposedly associated with adolescent mass shootings, I wonder if Apple Watch can predict this also. E.g.:

Not Eugene OR. That's where my startup put their servers for a conference/collaboration tool. I remember getting a complaint from a customer in Jordan, trying to conference with a customer in India. They had something like 1sec latency, communicating through Eugene and back. Twice across the planet.
Gross! I wonder what motivated these decisions inside Amazon & Google. This likely affects the Tor project domain fronting as well.

We really should not have let the majority of internet traffic be served by a small handful of giant companies without some legal protections as to what they're allowed to do.
since we are addressing the root cause in this sub-thread, i submit that we need to go one layer deeper than just the 'war on drugs'

what causes individuals to seek drugs or other harmful substances? Surely,similar substances existed throughout history? (maybe not as lethal, but still...)

I think it is the despair and lack of spiritual fulfillment for a person, and i think this coincides with what has been a failure in religions to make a relevant impact in individuals lives.

they have often made the situation worse by being judgemental further pushing said individual into this trap.
> I think the disagreement may be on the definition of “reasonable”.

Agreed. It very much does depend on the default rate.

FWIW when I now see 10%+ APRs on unsecured loans for presumably highly rated borrowers and much higher rates for riskier borrowers, I’m no longer shocked.
Neither does this substance though. It releases hydrogen when in contact with water, not explode or combust. It might, of course, explode if sparks are introduced but the same thing can happen to hydrocarbon based fuels.

In any case, what a substance does when rained on is not very relevant for a fuel that is kept in a fuel tank at all times. By the time it's exposed to the weather, the vehicle must have crashed and in such a circumstance most safety guarantees are out of the window anyway.
For basic fraud/bad behavior, off the top of my head, at least 5-6x what they made from it might be good. Anything involving direct, long term physical harm (such as death) needs a secondary penalty on top of this unrelated to profits made.

You have to account for not all of these schemes being uncovered. Then you have to add an actual penalty on top of it.
Good for you taking the leap, it wasn't stupid.

It sounds like you still feel it's a valid idea right? And you undoubtedly got more headway on the project being full-time for the recent months, so don't be so hard on yourself.

Go and get just enough contracting work so you can pay for your lifestyle, and keep working on it. Talk to your previous employer and mention you now have a couple of days free a week and if they are interested you could help them out ;)

There was NEVER a point when RSS was used by the majority of Net users, since it was introduced (just before the turn of the century) YEARS after the general public got net access (ie, the September that Never Ended, now over 10,000 days ago). It has always been the province of the somewhat nerdy.

The closest it ever got to mass adoption, ironically, was the support it got by way of Google Reader.

Social Distancing Decreases an Individual’s Likelihood of Contracting COVID-19
I think it’s likely an easy switch for most people. But I would not over look the documentation of when does it not make sense. This usually engenders more confidence in the maintainers vision or perspective on how they achieve the performance gains. Since after all so much of the work you are doing comes down to making trade offs.

Thanks. Hehe that's amusingly parochial. ("Whole World except USA" they like to call "British", and 'potter' is merely 'another term for putter'. Everything is inside-out.)
No hydrocarbon fuels aren't oxygenated. Put a spark plug in your gas tank, run it day and night - nothing. Has to be oxygen in there.
Ah now it makes sense. I can definitely see the appeal for a skier :)
Tesla short sellers were definitely silly. But, it's not fair at all to compare hedge fund performance to the S&P. They hedge their market exposure (after all, it's in the name), and most market neutral hedge funds end up with a beta of around 0.2, meaning that if the market goes up by 1%, the fund will go up by 0.2% on average (plus their alpha).
The more you design your program for the current world, the faster it will go out of date. Try to identify what will still be useful in 30 years, and get that part right.
Yes yes, but, when will Verizon and Comcast be broken up?
> Code reviews have become a social thing, and bagging on someone with a litany of issues in front of a group is never acceptable behavior. If they've done ten things wrong, you have to pick 3 of them and let the rest go, or decide to kick them out of the group entirely.

I wonder if we overestimate how sensitive people are in this case. if someone raises ten objections on my review and makes it clear what I have to do to get their approval, I'm happy. I'll get right to work on fixing it. if this happens in front of a group (esp involving skip-levels / managers of other teams), I take it as a signal that I should have run the change by a teammate or my direct manager before involving so many people.

the only thing I actually dislike is when people comment about vague concerns that leave it unclear whether I actually have to address them in that change to get their approval. sometimes this causes a circular waiting deadlock with the other reviewers, which is especially frustrating.
I'm currently working for the money[1]. I still couldn't tell you if it's crushing or liberating. Given the Pandemic, all options are on the table. I know I've invested about 800 hours in a passion project in the last year, which may turn into 2 or hopefully not 3 this year. I don't know if that would have happened if I loved my job, pandemic or no pandemic.

I think the working for more than money thing goes back to the 'do what you love for a living' advice that many of us think is actually pretty bad. Or at least a good way to get exploited, and ultimately burnt out.

1. I have relatives whose lives fall apart if they aren't working. One ended up working through retirement despite not needing the money. I appear to be somewhat similar. So I say I'm working 'for the money' but it's also to keep the wheels from falling off.
I'm going to try to articulate the arguments of the "veggie" doctors.

1) Industry funding colors scientific results. I believe people on HN understand this.

2) There are marketing agencies in the US which exist to market the products of animal agriculture. These agencies fund a significant amount of research into their products.

3) The human body has an upper limit on the amount of dietary cholesterol it can absorb daily. Two eggs will accomplish this for most people.

4) Given (3), it is relatively simple to design a scientific study which demonstrates that consuming n+1 eggs daily is no more harmful than consuming n eggs daily.

Please see the video series by Dr Greger[1] and the old newsletter by Dr McDougall[2].

On a personal note, I followed the veggie doctors advice for a number of years, by eating a strict vegetarian diet nearly free of sugar. My body weight dropped by more than 100 pounds, to a healthy (not overweight) range. My cholesterol dropped to around 92. After a few years, I was persistently, ravenously, insatiably hungry. The only thing that helped was returning to consuming animal products. Without intending to devolve into the middle-of-the-road fallacy, you may wish to heed the advice of Harvard Medical[3].

I think McKenzie would be found innocent in a court of law. This is a settlement because they don’t want to be dragged through the mud in PR. They provided advice, the company chose to act on it. Unless their Advice Misslead regarding the legal risk, they are in the clear. If it was misleading, the damages would be to Purdue.
I've wondered if aluminum powder could be used in this way. It's the most common metal in the world, cheap and available.
This is probably one the most poignant things I've read about programming. I've recently been through a handover, left on my own at at a new job, with a long back log full of fairly useless stories, left to forge relationships with the business. Mostly left depressed and stressed. All the while a manager said "I don't understand why the handover is taking so long, it's all documented". Yeah the documentation didn't really tell me much as I lacked the business context. I'm brand new to this domain too. The article has put into words what I've been feeling for the last year.
Assuming these cables cost more, or require equipment that costs more, I wouldn't expect this on last mile connections. ISPs simply don't care that much. DSL providers typically run connections with settings that add 15+ms of round trip. My DSL provider runs PPPoE for fiber connections where fiber is available, etc. When I was on AT&T fiber, it was still about 3-5 ms round trip to the first hop. It's been a while since I've experienced cable to know how they mess it up.

If there's significant deployment of the cable in long distance networks, eventually that should trickle down to users. It would probably happen faster if there were competitive local networks, but regardless, a significant drop in latency across a country or ocean can be big enough to justify some expense.

The Win32 counterpart to the UWP-centric design guidelines are here[1], titled "The Windows Interface Guidelines — A Guide for Designing Software".

Much more practical to designing native desktop software, whether you are using Win32/WinForms/QT or otherwise for your rendering engine. IMHO this is what makes a program 'intuitive' and 'natural' to many working adults ages 25+, which is often the target demographic, even if the program will not look 'modern' or have high "design award" value.
