I've been diagnosed with ADHD as an early adult, and oh boy do I hate this kind of article. They describe a human who not only have an attention deficit, but is also completly unable to cope with himself, objectives or life.

Is it aimed for a teenager with low self esteem, or a functionning adult?

Different books needs different levels of attention. An academic article needs several readings, while most articles (this one being a good example) are so crapy that you can decide after 3 paragraphs that the rest is very likely to be crap.

Also we should alway remember that ADHD is a differential diagnostic, which means that you need to deal with all the other possible problems. The comorbidity rate for attention deficit makes one size fits all solutions near impossible. Do you have supportive relationships? Are you in a field which interests you? How is your self esteem and global mental health? Physical health?

So, you state that:

1. My approach is not pragmatic, but rather naive.

2. You seem to be a defeatist :-)

I don't agree with 1 - people die, Putin's no exception. People in ruling party rotate, change etc. The design you are talking about is, imo, overrated.
So why not choose (1)?

This seems to have been the strategy in the past with similar risks. And it avoids the costs of freedom and live at the same time. What am I missing?

Gonorrhea unfortunately even shows advanced signs of antibiotic resistance. There is already "super-gonorrhea" which has resistance to our last line of defense, ceftriaxone.

This type of attack isn't likely to cause a 'meltdown', since the uranium is usually in a very hot vaporous form while being centrifuged. If the containers rupture, it will spread out and condensate in a thin layer that's not very likely to reach criticality. Nuclear reprocessing absolutely has dangers, but meltdowns aren't really the issue.
Yeah, and that's based on the relatively low levels of Covid in the UK recently too... I'm not sure there's anywhere in Europe whose Covid outbreak is currently as under control as the UK's.
Hey HN, this was a weekend project that I did because I was tired of how Twitter deals with list management. Needed something quick and easy, thus Twitlistr was born. Wanted something that worked on both desktop and mobile. Name sucks but oh well, it exists.

Stack is Typescript/Next hosted on Vercel, nothing fancy. This is the second project I've hosted on Vercel to pretty good success.
The analogy is not only bad, it's also wrong https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_limiter
The scientific consensus on issues like this as they emerge evolves rapidly though. And I think "degree of uncertainty" is something that is lost on educated lay people when they try to keep up to date with the science. Just look at the messaging surrounding masks in March 2020.

Public health issues are further complicated by what messages are thought to result in the best population behavior. There are articles in medical journals discussing the issue of people refusing to take the less strong vaccine, it is an entire topic of research in itself how to communicate with the public. It is not out of the question to strategically spread somewhat false messaging, like "all the vaccines are the same!" when obviously they are not.

Finally, this kind of thing is always going to involve value judgements that don't have an objective answer. How different is death of a 20 year old vs death of an 80 year old? How do you compare side effects like partial paralysis vs permanent lung damage? They are apples to oranges problems. But in cases where we have to act cohesively as a population, a judgement has to be made by someone. Plus in general I think medicine tends to not trust people to make their own well thought out decisions, for better or worse.
I agree (Planet Narnia also blew my mind), but I tried to make a judgement call over whether his non-fiction was "widely read" (I know very few people who have read any of it, relative to the number who have read the Narnia books).
My point was that if this model is broken, I'm not sure I would trust any other for storing data at rest, either.

Specifically, why would you still trust any other password manager?
PrEP requires a blood test every 3 months to check liver / kidney function, and they usually do an STD test at the same time.
It's not reserved to German politicians but the EU democracy apparatus as a whole is broken to the core without any better alternative.

Politicians aren't incentivized to optimize for doing what's right for their constituencies or the greater good but instead they say whatever gets them (re)elected then do whatever their lobby friends who contribute to the party's fund tell them to do, while putting a positive spin on this for the great unwashed.

We have no system in place that holds politicians accountable for the damage they do throughout their careers.

Even when they are forced to resign due to various scandals, they often end up as "consultants" at the businesses they helped get rich with tax-payer money.
Yes, but it purges the work profile and not the personal part.
Are people getting PrEP illegally? I would think that would be ridiculously expensive in the US as most states or insurance companies have some sort of plan to cover it (if not the coupon program from the manufacturer, Gilead. In New York State it's essentially free.

It would also be dangerous to be taking PrEP and not getting the required kidney function tests with it ever 90 days (the older version of PrEP can be hard on some people's kidneys).

I do see advertisements for legitimate mail-order services where you do consult with a doctor, and perform the tests at home.

Looking at one site, if you have no coverage, it's $164 for kidney and STI testing, $94 for just the required kidney tests. So some may just opt out to save money. But again, I would be surprised if there's many people paying out of pocket for the whole treatment.
I did something making a game. The game logic runs server side however in order to hide latency the clients also run a WASM copy locally. Then once the server processes their moves they check that everything was in-sync and if not reload with the server state.

(In practice the validation is probably not necessary but doesn't hurt to have).
It seems misleading to call this "Datalog". The GitHub repo even says "among database theoreticians Datalog and SQL are known to be equivalent", which is absolutely wrong without qualification. Some flavors of SQL will have recursive extensions so that they could be considered equivalent, but that is not true in general.

I can't find any mention of recursion on the original blog post or the GitHub page. Without recursion it isn't Datalog.

It is impossible is the polite way of telling you that your idea is incredibly illbconsidered and contrary to the actual purpose of the program and please fuck off and get cancer.

I blame all of the professional emotional manipulator sophist whiners who don't even try to understand reality.

"After getting turned down for a job at Bell Labs, he decided to build his own radio telescope in his Illinois backyard: a parabolic 31-foot dish with a radio receiver mounted directly above it."

That is an incredible level of commitment. Prior to reading this article I was not aware of the contributions of Grote Reber to radioastronomy. His wikipedia bio paints a portrait of a fascinating individual [0].

The Reasoned Schemer is a highly praised book for that. It teaches minikanren and builds it from scratch. I personally did not like a lot its "socratic" style.

The best way to learn it, in my opinion, is to implement microkanren, which is micro by design for teaching purposes. It is small enough to fit in your head, understand what's unification, and play with it. Then you can jump into other implementations.

If you like clojure, you can use core.logic, although documentation is not abundant.

Thanks for joining HN just to tell us this.
We don't yet have a clear picture of how necessary booster shots will be.

Each mutation that impacts antibody reactivity also has a chance to impact infectiousness, and the proteins targeted by the vaccines are large enough that it isn't trivial to predict the outcome.

So we might need to do boosters, or we might be fine with the vaccines we have now.
Sounds to me like you're describing GridCoin[0], which operates on top of BOINC[1] which itself was spawned from Seti@Home.

Presumably the mRNA makers will have ramped production enough that it won't matter by the time anyone needs a booster.
But there's a ton of social mores that aren't required anymore - for instance, pork or shellfish is perfectly safe to consume when appropriately prepared. And I'd love to see if you had any evidence at all that the reason for Ramadan (or a similar fasting ceremony) is actually meant to sneak in healthy life habits - seems coincidental to me.

This whole problem can be solved by a change in attitude and wearing condoms.
This is terrible especially when you're applying for jobs. All calls from unknown numbers have to be answered because you never know who's calling you back.
Sweet, since we now have the precedence that the FBI can invade your machine without permission whenever they want for national security reasons I can't wait the glorious future we have before us.

Now the FBI can access your machine and start modifying things because you are expressing displeasure at your public officials which is a sign of "terrorist behavior", oops you're using your blog to say things the government doesn't like they'll go ahead and delete that for you for national security. Oh you installed or even googled Tor well that is only used by drug dealers and terrorists so clearly you are a threat to national security they'll be cutting you off from internet access now.
Corruption and incompetence have been the "standard" of the Serbian administration for a long time, regardless of the political party in power.

The current goverment is just milking the ones caught breaking the law because of the economy being cash-strapped and well... because they can!

I still think it should be fair to offer them the best terms under which they could have incorporated (eg. for anyone with under 4.500 EUR a month it'd be self-employment with fixed rate taxation that was available to anyone), but to pretend that protesting freelancers were not breaking the law is dishonest imo.
EU's von der Leyen says EU to receive 50 mln more Pfizer/BioNTech shots in Q2
I don't have any data to back this up, but i believe of those 2500 videos per minute, 2450 or so the AI could classify them as safe, not requiring human interaction. The other 50 are classified on a scale from 0 to 100 on a badness scale. The ones closer to "not that bad" (ToS and such) gets put through automatically waiting for a review. The illegal content (rape, gore, child porn) and such gets blocked automatically until reviewed by a human. Doesn't sound that far fetched to implement with 50B a year in profits?
Magda – our open-source solution for spaghetti code
I remember playing around with something like this many years ago in a demoscene context, using a slightly modified LZ compressor to identify areas of repeated instructions. Interestingly enough, you can repeat ths process multiple times, because jump offsets will also get smaller with each block compressed, until there's no more opportunities to do so.

"Machine Outliner" maybe somewhat more descriptive, but I think calling it "LLVM-LZ" might be more catchy and memorable.
the color of the link depends on what is in your history, i don't know if hat is a property that can be queried with javascript. i believe it is only local to the browser. iaw: the browser uses the color for visited links defined in css or elsewhere, but you can't check any property if a link is visited or not. that would be a privacy violation even without containers, as i could just create a webpage with many links that i am interested in, and when you go to my page i'd be able to tell what is in your history.
You're saying that, in such a scenario, dating apps might be considered health care providers in some jurisdictions?

Living in 2 i'm not sure 3 would have worked where i am ( France) to get to zero, especially considering Schengen and the fact that even if by some magic you get to zero cases, it can easily spillover by even a few people from neighboring countries or tourists. And i sincerely doubt it could have gotten to zero cases - every lockdown since the first one has been ignored by a non-negligeable amount of the population.
Been using Gridcoin to provide idle CPU capacity to BOINC projects. Works well - once you have it all setup - which can take some time.
What do you mean with "GHC of Prolog"? I don´t know a lot about the Haskell ecosystem so I dont know what that implies.

Edit: Never mind, the Scryer Prolog github page states it as follows:

Scryer Prolog aims to become to ISO Prolog what GHC is to Haskell: an open source industrial strength production environment that is also a testbed for bleeding edge research in logic and constraint programming, which is itself written in a high-level language.
Title is inaccurate, it wasn't sat nav, it used dead reckoning which is relative from where you start.
I think it is good for criminals to have a separate system like monero. Then law enforcement and intelligence can attack it without worries about disrupting the legitimate system.
There is no quicker way to get me disinterested in a book than the words non-fiction. And there is no shot that I am reading a book if I'm not interested in it. I've noticed lately that when I hear or read someone talking about reading (it has come up in a few podcasts I listen to) it often comes up that they are talking about non-fiction. I've read one non-fiction book outside of school[1].

I read for escapism, or to explore other worlds in my imagination. Reading gives me something fantastical to think about. If I want something real to think about I use the internet. Books have never filled that role, and I've never really considered them for it. Am I missing out? Should I try and shake my prejudice against non-fiction?

First, we'll have to ignore the US because the government interference and rampant irrationality there caused hundreds of thousands of lives lost. Regarding the EU: I feel a certain irony, because I was among those who complained that experts give the wrong advice for noble reasons (partly due to good information from HN, btw), called it a "King's Lie" and was heavily downvoted for it on various social media. So I'll be the first to admit that some officials were not as clear about it as they should have been.

However, many people fail to correctly interpret official statements, especially those made by WHO at the time. You only ever officially recommend something in evidence-based medicine if there is evidence of its beneficial effects, never out of a gut feeling. They should have said "we are using masks because we believe they work but we're short of them and so you shouldn't buy them" and instead said "there is no evidence that wearing masks is beneficial and it could even be dangerous" to prevent shortage. The WHO's statement lacked transparency but if they had stated that everybody should wear masks in March 2020, the effects would have been disastrous for health authorities all over the world. National health authorities did the very same at the time, and I used to point out that a "King's Lie" like this, no matter how noble the motives, will likely backfire - as evidenced by your statements.

Still, if you listened closely, no expert I know of has ever said in any interview that masks don't help. That's all I wanted to point out.
> I have never seen anyone programming in CPS.

Perhaps you've heard of "Javascript callback hell", or maybe even witnessed it first-eye? That's essentially CPS, written manually--one of the driving forces for inventing async/await was to return back to writing the programs in direct style and letting the compiler do the CPS transformation at specified points.
After Lambda School completely removed code review, grading, attendance, TLs when I was enrolled... I just couldn't see how the incentives were aligned anymore. There was no one looking at my assignments, my assessments, my projects and telling me what I got wrong and how I could do better.

Those choices made by Lambda only hurt students' learning and therefore chances to get a job. And when students complained, the school addressed the complaints but barely made a change.
Are they testing for all STDs or only for HIV? Also, the person taking PrEP is (potentially) only half of the equation. How often do people who test positive inform their recent partners?

I'm always flabbergasted at seeing how these things are handled in America.

Long ago in the country where I live, the regulator:

- set up an opt-out central register where the
owner of any phone number can freely declare they do not want any unsollicited calls

- made this register freely available to all businesses

- required from telcos that they make it easy for customers to report infringing calls

- made telcos liable if they do not swiftly take action whenever they have 'sufficient' reports (10s not 1000s) that one of their clients is infringing on the opt-out list, including by cutting off all of the client's numbers.

... does not seem such a big deal to set up.
Apple is suing Corellium, a maker of iPhone virtualization and pentesting software, because their tool can be used to develop exploits that bypass Apple’s security?

It's incredibly worrying that Apple is using the legal system to ban virtualization and pentesting software.

That would have nothing to do with HIPAA. HIPAA generally only covers patient information held by health providers, payers, etc. It only applies to "covered entities", which is a specific set of entities. It's a myth that HIPAA applies to health information generally. There's even dispute about whether or not HIPAA applies to doctors and medical services who don't accept insurance ( https://www.lebauerconsulting.com/hipaa-is-my-cash-practice-... )

(although some states have more strict health privacy laws)

That it doesn't work. Sweden had to go back on it, and in many countries trying to do (1) ended up with hospitals full - like France.
