"From my own experience, my HRV is low when I'm not doing anything - and why wouldn't it be? I'm not _doing_ anything. I have no need for sudden changes when I'm typing on a keyboard."

It's not about whether you "have a need for sudden changes" or not, but whether the sympathetic or the parasympathetic nervous system has the upper hand. There are many reasons for why it could be one or the other, but they are usually roughly summarized as "physical or mental stress".

For instance, when you sit at your keyboard and respond to someone who is wrong on the Internet, that is likely to cause negative emotions and mental stress. This would increase sympathetic nervous system activity and as a result lower your HRV.

"Further, you can be as healthy as a marathon runner and have very low HRVs."

Marathon runners are not always equally healthy. They also get sick or stressed sometimes, and quite often they are under physical stress due to training a lot. That's why some of them observe HRV to get an indication of their readiness for high intensity training or competitions (e.g. Whoop, Garmin Recovery Advisor).

That means, just sitting at their keyboard their HRV could be high or low, depending e.g. on how well they recovered from a hard training run.
That's an absurd argument. And as long as we're using solar and wind, we'll need backup from coal, gas and nuclear for when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing. If you think increasing battery capacity will solve that, read up on the supply chain of lithium.

Even so they do tend to have facilities for dynamic imports of that kind, but it’s generally bad for bundle size and should be used sparingly.
That's a wrong question to ask. Rust is the one trying to squeeze in to the already crowded place, not Go.
Most SPA pages will honour direct uri requests and route you properly in javascript. You just need to have your scraping pipeline use phantomJS or selenium to wait until the page stops loading then scrape the html.

Although it might just be easier to scrape their api endpoints directly instead of mucking with html if its a dynamic page. The data is structured that way, and easier to query.
What I love about FreeBSD is the documentation. I was able to skim through it and get a good understanding of how everything fits together, and how I can change it.

I'd love it if this project gains some momentum, it would be great to have an alternative to Ubuntu/Elementary OS.

In particular it would be nice to have an alternative for macOS users. Jumping to Linux from other OSes can be tough at first.

> restricting users to squeeze them to more expensive products or locking them in to Apple's ecosystem.

Yeah also this. I can't use my old MacBook 2005 anymore because the software I need to use won't run on older versions of MacOS, and I just can't install newer versions of MacOS without some kind of hack, which leaves the computer half-usable :(
This seems to be tending towards the generic problem of permissions that we have seen previously elsewhere.

For example in the case of Facebook, it used to be that users would accept permissions without considering them, and in-turn, various apps would access their data in bad faith.

Likewise for mobile apps.

Eventually Facebook removed many of the overtly powerful permissions entirely, likewise with the mobile operating systems.

In the case of mobile, the concept of "runtime permissions" was also introduced that required explicit approval to be granted at the time of authorization.

On Android, location access now prompts the user in the notification area informing the user of an app that accessed their location.

Can some of these ideas be borrowed to the package/dependency management world? "The package you are about to install requires access to your hard drive including the following folders: x/y/z/all?
My day job keeps pressuring me to use video, and I keep fighting the temptation to replace my photo with a "SEELE 01 SOUND ONLY" graphic from Neon Genesis Evangelion.

My coworkers might want to see me on video, but I'm used to having an iron curtain between work and the rest of my life and I'm not comfortable with letting work intrude that far into my home. As nice as it is to be able to work from home I see no reason why I should give my coworkers a view of my basement.

Besides, I have a face made for radio and a voice made for print. I'm doing my team a favor by keeping my cam off.
Please don't enforce certificate pinning in user-facing software, at least without an opt-out. It becomes impossible to inspect my own traffic.
It shocked me at first too, but on thinking about it the policy a bit more I think it's actually quite reasonable.

Environmental pollution directly results in increased human death (due to cancers/etc), and GP wants the people responsible to be liable for those deaths. Under this scheme, accidental pollution would then be the equivalent of manslaughter, and intentional pollution would be the equivalent of murder. I'm personally not a fan of executing murderers, but many states in the US execute them.
Tech solutions are the best solutions when they work! Fighting with your spouse over who does the dishes? Buy a dishwasher! Don’t want your ISP snooping on traffic? Use https / a VPN!

Unfortunately, package signing does nothing to protect against the threat vector presented here. The authentication system in npm is working fine. The problem is we put too much trust in software from the internet.
I've been in a Discord room when a student came in and asked us if we could help him with his work about social media by telling him about our usage of Discord. I was a bit surprised that Discord was considered a social media, but other people agreed.

(Is Hacker News social media ?)
Minor nitpick, he was a VP at NeXT but not early on and didn’t go to Apple.
It sounds like you are interested in a (distributed) capability-based security model. [1]

Are you sure about that? Do you not think the mining is extremely concentrated by a handful of big players and is going to become increasing more so as the hardware needed is becoming more difficult to obtain?
I think that text was never supposed to be read. It is a print of the landing page of the platform the author built. I presume they would say just that and no would bother much trying to read it either.
The course linked here is a good one. It teaches SwiftUI and Swift which are what you will use to develop on AppleTV.
>As with all things time, I'm no expert, and could be wrong about something. If you are, please correct me!

Easy example that I have to deal with semi-regularly since I live and work in Mountain Time: Arizona. Arizona is under Mountain Time, but does not observe Daylight Savings. So America/Phoenix would work fine (and America/Denver for the rest of the Mountain Time zone) but simply using MT would not.

To complicate matters even more is that the Navajo reservation (which is partially in Arizona) observes DST, but the Hopi Reservation (also in Arizona, but completely surrounded by the Navajo Reservation) does not.
After giving it some thought, I think I have the right system. After the invasion, the UK monarchy is no longer hereditary. Instead, the French and Irish parliaments, in a joint session, elect the British monarchs.

Everyone's happy. Ireland and France have their democracies. England has its monarchy.

We can even draft a constitution with bounds on who can become monarchs. For example, they might need to be citizens of former British colonies. That might help keep the former colonies happy. Keep in mind both Ireland and most of France were, at one point, colonized by Britain (for France: See Hundred Years War, The Black Prince, and Joan d'Arc).
Coal is a baseload generator. It cannot ramp up or down very easily.

Nuclear is mostly baseload... not so much because its impossible to ramp-down nuclear, but because nuclear's initial-investment (site planning / engineering / regulations) are the bulk of its costs. Ongoing costs (ie: fuel) are miniscule.

There's "no point" ramping down Nuclear, given its miniscule fuel costs. Might as well keep pumping electricity as long as the price of electricity is non-negative.

So only gas ramps up-and-down.

------

As such, Solar / Wind + Gas Peaker combinations are very good for ramping down Coal production. Because the bulk of electricity is needed in the daytime (due to the hot sun making AC work harder), Solar/Wind + Gas Peakers will use less fossil fuels than a Coal baseload generator over the same period.
This looks really great, I'd love to use it.

I see you've linked to a Github account but I didn't see any source for the cli or WebApp.

Are you considering releasing the source code under a free and open source license?
Because you want the drivers and hardware quirk fixes that the oem included, just not the bloatware/malware that they were paid to include.

Not all hardware is as friendly as Linux on a Thinkpad... Sometimes a clean install would leave you without a display, or would put some bizarre peripheral in an unusable state.
I really appreciate this kind of feedback, because a lot of people will think that but won't bother leaving a comment and I will never be aware. Thank you!

Today it makes no sense to reduce the price of the book because of the niche topic covered and my small audience, but for sure I will re-evaluate it later.
A few years back an SF startup asked me to prepare a presentation as part of the final round of interviews. It was supposed to be something I like to do. I chose making pizza on my charcoal grill using my KettlePizza [0]. At the time, our family tradition was to make homemade pizza on Friday nights so it wasn't much of an imposition to snap a few photos during the process and slap it together into a Powerpoint.

Overall the presentation portion was a decent experience. I presented for 10-15 minutes and the folks in the room asked questions for about that long.

I didn't get an offer because of "concerns around culture & team fit." I'm pretty sure that wasn't a result of my presentation, but, rather, that I indicated I didn't care much for death marches (and they were clearly on one at the time).

Had I put 10 hours into the presentation like Op I would have been annoyed. But an hour wasn't bad. Altogether, I think it's not a bad way to facilitate conversation and allow a broader group of folks to participate.

You could also set 'showdead' in your hn profile to yes, and not need the third party software.
The main thing Euclid did for me was to enkindle a love for math as such. Geometry done that way is just so ... beautiful.

Unfortunately I didn't have this experience until I was an undergraduate. For the prior 12 years of formal schooling, math mostly felt like repetitive drudgery with occasional flashes of excitement when I would learn a new technique.
You really don't get the concept of "tragedy of the commons" do you? The problem is that the people that use bitcoins are not the only ones that pay for them.

We all pay because of the negative externalities involved with producing electricity. They are not part of the price of electricity currently.

If all countries had robust carbon taxes or similar schemes, then you could possibly argue that the price of bitcoin reflects their true cost. Possibly. But definitely not now.
does it support webasm/html5?
A love the idea origin breakdown on slide 17.

Over half of the product ideas (~57%) came from experiencing a problem/issue firsthand.

The percentage tips to ~90% if you also include experiencing a problem/issue secondhand (through friends, clients, customers, etc.).

A measly 8% came from research alone.

The variables used in the expressions might not be in scope (in fact they usually aren't). Also, I'm rather sure that's how it works in C++ (which by accident copies arguments instead of leaving a reference, but the single time default argument evaluation holds).
But, but, I'm here live. I'm not a cat.
open sourcing such projects is always a good thing :)
This is the 3rd story I've seen on the front page today about the environmental impact of mining BTC. Interesting.
> the really interesting thing about these machines is that the EPYC CPUs provide 128 PCIe4 lanes each

Not really. In a single socket setup, an EPYC gives you 128 lanes. In a dual socket setup, 64 lanes from each CPU are repurposed to connect them together instead of doing PCIe. So just like single socket, you end up with 128 lanes total.
Gaming uses vastly less energy per person.
I don't! As far as I know, scraping data behind a login is illegal in the united states. You can look into the supreme court case Facebook v Powers Inc for information behind that. This page https://www.rcfp.org/scraping-not-violation-cfaa/ seems to have a decent overview of scraping laws in general. It's definitely a legal gray area so I'd suggest doing your research! This doesn't constitute legal advice and all that, I'm not a lawyer just a guy who does some scraping here and there :)
Someone's really serious about pushing the "bitcoin is bad" narrative. Too many articles like that recently. Nevertheless, upvoting because HN should see this.
My gas company is regulated, their customer service sucks.

I am a bit down because I’m not aware of any success in fixing this kind of problem through regulation.

I’m trying to think of a regulated industry or company that has service as good as even Walmart and can’t come up with anything.

The hope would be that at least they have some bank level of regulation where they at least have to respond by snail mail and stuff.

Well, you have `M-x restclient-copy-curl-command` (`C-c C-u` by default) to share a single command.

There is also Verb mode (org-mode extension) which seems like a nice alternative to restclient.el. Learnt about via Impostman[2] which imports Postman collections to both restclient.el and verb.el

Would be interesting to see MRR + growth based on this.
I wonder, though, how much damage that will do to the rest of the US.

SV has been a somewhat arbitrary meeting place that won because of network effects. It's harder to succeed elsewhere because you have less support: fewer tech workers, fewer investors, fewer partners. Not impossible, but you were always at a disadvantage. So a lot of people would go to the one place with the advantage.

If it's not Silicon Valley, then it could be anywhere. There's no reason for it to shift to another American city or combination of cities. It has always been difficult to make remote work work, but if people are finally forcing the issue, it might get very remote.

There will still be a strong advantage to native English speakers, since that will be the tech lingua franca for some time. And Americans will likely have a time zone advantage for a while... unless asynchronous work becomes so effective that it turns into a rolling 24-hour development cycle.

I don't mean to be doom-and-gloom here. I've just been surprised for a long time how strong Silicon Valley's monopoly is, and the US in general (perhaps as halo). If that's broken, how far does it go?

Not that I'm against it. I'm all for broadening the talent pool. But I wonder if the people seeking cheaper-than-Silicon-Valley will end up losing out to people in places much, much cheaper than that.
Good point, it has many of the same advantages: low power, sunlight readability. Why isn't it used more often? The OLPC had a dual LCD/LED display (PixelQi) and it worked very well.
Apple has its own app class curriculum available, but this Stanford class predates it by quite a few years.

If you want to learn about mobile application development, you have to pick a specific platform to target, and anything other than mobile web is going to be commercial.

Ideally, the things students learn in the class aren't just various APIs, but instead how to build a product, work as a team, and solve problems.

FWIW, I teach a very practical class in mobile application development at a university.
You can search "ranch rifle author:tptacek" if you want to get a sense of my patience level with these mic-drop appeals to wooden-stock coyote hunting rifles.

As I've said repeatedly, and you don't seem to be acknowledging: the original gun control proposals were far more ambitious than what they got whittled down to. The original proposal, as I've said, was semi-automatic rifles writ large. Appeals to the performative "crime bill" restrictions are not interesting.

I'm also losing patience with the arguments about "bans". I don't think bans are a good idea either, and I'd appreciate it if you'd stop demanding that I defend them.
I'm a Bitcoin skeptic, but mentioning "fundamental value" when talking about currency seems incongruous. The "fundamental value" of bitcoin is whatever people think it's worth. Just like USD.
Overseas real estate and other holdings was generally immune to that - in some cases you wouldn't even be able to hand it over to the occupying gov't if you wanted to (since the country with the wealth was hostile to that occupying gov't), in other cases property seized that way was returned through legal means, again through the judiciary of the country where the assets reside, as any contract or transfer under duress is illegitimate and the transfer is reversible.
It takes the hardware webcam feed, adds its effects, and pushes to a feed via a virtual webcam device. So yeah, you could use it with most videoconf software.
Ok, but according to that site, the total capacity of all those opened channels is only a little over 1,000 BTC. The whole BTC network spends about that much on mining (block rewards + fees) every day.

So is 1,000 BTC a lot of money, in which case, it's a lot to spend on mining?

Or is it a small amount of money, in which case, it looks like LN is hardly used?
> worrying about scalability before having a single user

While you don’t want to do something really dumb that’s hard to get out of from day 1, I can’t agree more. Last year I was asked to help with an open source medical devices project for Covid, and when the guy writing the infrastructure said he had a microservices design in place I took that as a queue to exit the project. They hadn’t even validated that people needed what they thought they should build, and here was a guy about to do a ton of work for scale that likely never came.

Think of it as a separation of powers issue itself.

Assuming agencies only have advisory capabilities and that regulation itself is handled by lawmakers directly. The determination of what is safe or not becomes a matter of who has the best lobbyists; any actual damages will occur years down the line, will be visible only in statistical terms (i.e. a higher rate of leukemia), and will only affect people without significant political power. This is a textbook description of an issue which democratic institutions are spectacularly bad at handling: expert knowledge is required to understand the issue, there is no immediacy, and the consequences are delayed while the costs are up-front. Consider climate change---it will cost a shit-ton of money, cause a crap-load of damage, and yet humanity has collectively done essentially nothing to prevent it in something like 40 years.

Now, it's possible that legislative regulation could work, if the legislators essentially rubber-stamp the advisories from the agency, but still allows political influence in the issues. Consider PVC and cigarettes.

The approach, then, is for the legislature to delegate authority for regulation, within specific parameters, to an executive agency. The agency then sets the regulations, which the legislature can override with exactly the same ease as they would regulate them in the parent's model.

I am unaware of any country that relies on legislative regulation and is regarded in any sense as successful. In fact, political interference in regulations is almost universally regarded as a bad thing.

Anybody have a specific example of regulatory excesses?

[At one point I got trapped in a conversation with a cousin's husband, who had recently gotten fined by OSHA or the state equivalent because he had diesel stored in the correctly color-coded container, but it did not have "diesel" written on it. I thought about mentioning people who didn't know the color codes (Red = gasoline, yellow = diesel, blue = kerosene, and green = oils) or about the color-blind, but I prefer to avoid arguments.]
Can you cite purrcedent?
Makes sense, I think you can get some answers in HN (worth asking again, maybe direct the question to "parents of children in the autistic spectrum"?), but there are better places to ask. It's great that you're taking steps to give your son the best environment you can, please take these as attempts to help you achieve that.

You say you don't know about what I asked and if asked directly they'll justify as necessary focusing on the affected children. That doesn't help you much, maybe there's something already published you can find yourself and read to help figuring things out? What do Dane psychologists/neurologists say in articles they write? Are the comparisons of the different systems in Europe? You have to go a bit deeper to figure out what is best, reading about about autism is part of the package IMO. Some people[0][1] find that writing about it also helps.

Also, you're (going to be?) THE expert on your son and his needs, no doubt about that. So if you study a lot right now it'll help to make your case (and/or mind, if you haven't decided what's best yet) and get the assistance he needs sooner. You can be the best people at fighting for what your son needs, it's a necessary skill to have in the long run. Asking and caring about the best way shows you've already started on this journey.

Being somewhat of an outsider does complicate some things, but it also offers you perspective and that may be more important for you and your son in the long run. So don't blame yourself, try to adapt where you feel it's necessary and be comfortable where you feel it's your choice.

Lastly, be sure to also get the assistance YOU need. Professionals can help you develop skills to handle the stress and find the joy. Friends, volunteering, gaming, arts, sports, being outdoors, there are tons of activities that can help. Some of these will work for you, some won't, and some might even enhance your connection to your son.

Does this factor in the emissions cost of producing a new car? Because a common counter-argument to switching to EVs is that the environmental cost of the new car far outweighs any gains from increased efficiency, at least for many years.
