I think this misunderstands what a "cold" is. Merely being a respiratory infection doesn't make something a cold. We call something a cold when it's 1) a mild upper respiratory infection that 2) is viral, but 3) is not specifically attributable.

There are colds caused by influenza viruses, but because "the common cold is defined on the basis of its clinical presentation, a mild influenza infection can accurately be diagnosed as a cold, meaning that the two infections are not completely distinct disease entities."[0] Once someone with a cold tests positive for the flu, though, we would generally correct the description to a mild case of the flu and no longer say they have a cold.

This is neat. Assuming the usual things about costs going down and capabilities increasing, both exponentially of course... then one can imagine some novel and non-military applications.

For example, vehicles seeing around corners to avoid collisions or being able to see further into damaged industrial sites than robots can go today (i.e. Fukushima), or for cave explorations (especially if they improve significantly and start building images from multiple reflections - see around the corners that themselves are around corners).
Agreed! The books with the thin man(by Dashiell Hammett) are also very good.

You can also have a hidden form submission that does this from the existing controller so you don't need to specify the URL.

For example, you can add a hidden submit button like

form.submit 'preview', data: { composer_target: 'submit' }, hidden: true

Instead of a stimulus target, you wrap your preview area in a turbo frame

<turbo-frame id="output">
...
</turbo-frame>

In your (ruby) controller you can re-use the existing controller action:

def create
@post = Post.new(post_attributes)
preview && return if params[:commit] == 'preview'
...
end

Do the turbo junk in a private method for the preview:

private

def preview
render turbo_stream: turbo_stream.replace(
'output', partial: "posts/preview", locals: { post: @post }
end
end

Your stimulus controller now just does this:

preview() {
this.submitTarget.click();
}

I wish the so called open source projects were more inclusive. Many people would love to work on these projects, but are unable to because they need to have a paid employment to pay bills and feed family. Open Source projects give a platform for people from privileged background to show off their skills plus they are reducing the amount of work available. For example company won't hire someone to do X if they can find an open source project that does something like X. Big corporations are also exploiting those projects and make billions off of them while paying developers nothing.
In some countries work for free is illegal and a person doing the work needs to be given at least a minimum wage. Companies who use such software are essentially getting labour without paying for it.
We need to think about royalty system that will be reimbursing people working on those projects and creating a level playing field so people from poor backgrounds could also participate.

For real. The US vastly underinvests in public goods. Everyone would be better off if we had attractive and free and plentiful public pools, recreation centers, play grounds, and transportation. Instead we neglect these, so everyone wants a big backyard with a pool and expensive exercise equipment in the basement and two cars in the garage. It's massively inefficient.

Why did we go down this path? Part of the answer is racism. See https://www.marketplace.org/2021/02/15/public-pools-used-to-...

Rich false memories of autobiographical events can be reversed
It's pretty easy to non-destructively lift a wax seal off of paper, with a sharp, hot knife and a bit of practice. You can then read the letter and reseal it with a touch more hot wax or the back of a heated spoon (to melt the back of the original seal).

Not that I've ever done that, as a courier, in a live-roleplay game, ever. Repeatedly ;D

Depending on the security level of the letter, of course, a non-letterlocked letter might be pretty readable even if sealed. A simple letter where the seal authenticates the sender but doesn't protect the contents might simply be folded in three and sealed closed - you can bend and flex such a letter without breaking the seal to read most of it. A more important letter being _protected_ by a seal might be folded into an ersatz envelope and then sealed on the join ... but that's most of the way to a basic letterlock.

So, like all communications there's a tradeoff between complexity and security, and whether you're using the seal merely to authenticate the sender (which was pretty common) or also to protect the contents.

I like Rust, but I don't understand why "OS written in [language]" is a compelling goal within itself. Like an OS absolutely needs goals and a target demographic to be useful, and it doesn't feel like simply existing to show that a language can do it is enough.

My home office setup was not that great. Small issues compounded over time so that eventually poor posture added up to so much tension that my ear went numb. I had to completely revamp my ergonomics and went to 16 weeks of physical therapy to fix the damage. It's been six months since completing PT and I'm still doing the stretches and exercise to prevent further issues.

It's very easy for me to say to myself, "I'll just work through this discomfort until lunch or until the end of the day." That's a hard habit to break. But just like any sport or exercise, the best course of action is to immediately stop, evaluate the situation, and make a correction. I wish I would have learned this lesson earlier, but at least I haven't caused permanent damage. Don't be like me. Be aware of discomfort and do everything to fix it early.

HN is also penalising threads that discuss this. This post has 74 upvotes in 27 minutes and 11 comments at time of writing. Ordinarily it would significantly outrank most of the other posts on the front page, but it doesn't seem to be able to break past #15. Either this is because HN users are flagging it, or because something else is going on. As Reddit is a YC company it'd be really nice to hear an explanation.

IMO the FCC should focus on adding competition where there already is internet and adding minimum speed requirements for areas with low competition (eg require 50/10Mbps down/up speeds for anyone with N miles of a metro with X population, where N could be 100 and X could be 100K)

I also think a concept of inflation should be added to speed minimums to bake progress into the law.

I just tried many http websites on Safari and am still not sure what you are talking about. They all work perfectly fine, without any warnings.

Then I will thank Apple for changing things and making them less scary already.

The fact is that this is exactly how Safari used to handle things. I know because I got many angry screenshots from C-level people in my company when some of our web sites started showing up that way due to a misconfiguration by the IT department.

Here is a picture of a similar warning. This is for an SSL error, but the ones Safari used to display for HTTP were nearly identical:

This was confusing because the editorialized title has absolutely nothing to do with the article it links to.

That story is about a politician who's father was charged for torturing and raping a 10 year old, but still being hired as an agent for the campaign trail. And somehow that poor choice that was understandably met with severity gets turned into a transgender issue, which just makes everything about this post confusing.

Is it posted here because of Reddit (which isn't mentioned or even hinted at in the article), because of the child rape and torture, because of the ill-advised choice of campaign team members, or because of the transgender aspect?
To answer your question, the lifting technique I refer to works well on flat paper and variably well on non-flat paper. Something as delicate as a letterlock, I'd be seriously concerned about my hot knife nicking or tearing a part of the lock that I can't see under the seal ... and /that/ would be obvious.

So it's not so much that the seal holds the lock closed, as that the seal obscures the lock to the point that opening non-destructively is much harder.
Rust has been stable since 2015.
They are talking about total operations, but since big O notation ignores constant factors, and they explicitly ignore the addition steps (because for large n multiplication dominates) it is, in effect, only looking at the multiplications.

To answer the GP, the minimum amount of work necessary is to write a number for each element in the array, which scales by n^2 since there are n^2 elements. It is of course only possible to beat this if you can make assumptions like “the diagonal of my matrix is nonzero and everything else is zero”, but that’s not general matrix multiplication anymore, that’s a specialized sparse matrix routine. For a dense, “normal” matrix, O(n^2) is the absolute best we could hope for.
Calling it "user-generated content" when it's generated only by employees not actual GitLab users is quite disingenuous.

We’re hiring our initial team at Splitgraph [0] and are looking for senior backend engineers. We’ve put a ton of effort into optimizing our CI system and are always improving it. We’ve got automated build, test and deploys along with tools for rapid onboarding and cached rebuilds when switching branches locally. We can spin up a new cluster on AWS, GCP or Azure and deploy the code from any commit hash without any manual input except for pressing a button in the GitLab UI. We use a combination of Docker, Terraform, and Nomad for prod deploys. In dev we’ve got a Makefile based system that’s smart about when to rebuild images and makes it easy to switch branches without destroying your environment.

Developer productivity is our priority and the CI system is the foundation of that. (In fact I just spent the entire weekend optimizing the frontend toolchain and development workflow after the lessons learned from onboarding our first hires.)

If you like Python, databases, DevOps, etc. and don’t mind working at an all-remote early startup, please apply! Leave a note in the cover letter section of the form that you saw this comment. :)

Could this be related to GDPR?
I wish there was a solution for those of us who develop web interfaces for embedded products designed to live on LAN, often without any internet access and no well defined domain name.

I'm all for HTTPS everywhere but right now for my products it's either: https with self-signed certificate, which basically makes any modern browser tell its user that they're in a very imminent danger of violent death should they decide to proceed, or just go with good old HTTP but then you hit all sorts of limitations, and obviously zero security.

I wish there was a way to opt into a "TOFU" https mode for these use cases (which is how browser dealt with invalid HTTPS certificates for a long time), although I realize that doing that without compromising the security of the internet at large might be tricky.

If somebody has a solution, I'm all ears. As far as I can tell the "solution" employed by many IoT vendors is simply to mandate an internet connection and have you access your own LAN devices through the cloud, which is obviously a privacy nightmare. But it's HTTPS so your browser will display a very reassuring padlock telling you all is fine!

> But why should we believe we've hit the point where the quality of advisors and peers decline as YC gets bigger?

We shouldn't, it's the exact opposite. As the network grows, the ecosystem of high quality advisors goes up, not just because better people join, but people are learning to become better advisors through being a part of the network. Not only that, but as the network grows so does the YC economy of potential partners. Instead of YC companies purchasing goods and services from outside the network (and thus bleeding valuation of the network) keeping money flowing in the YC economy only accelerates the value of the entire network. As this monetary flow through the network grows and accelerates so does the quality of the people managing the companies in the networks and thus potential future advisors to new companies joining the network.

While there are a finite number of trust providers in the HTTPS signed certificate model, "Let's Encrypt" isn't the only one.

But, yes, HTTPS is a trust-rooted security model. It's hypothetically possible to have every cert provider decide you're not trusted. That's kind of in the category of "It's hypothetically possible to have every DNS provider decide you're not trusted" though.

If this is a concern, the solution is probably to come up with an HTTPS modification that allows for decentralized trust, not to set up the average use case of the web to "The user is trusting every machine between their client and the server to be reading their traffic and not acting maliciously on it." Tradeoffs, right?
