Lactose-free dairy milk is milk with added lactase, an enzyme that is used by mammals to digest lactose in milk. Now, children, remember from dairy science class: lactose is a complex sugar made of two siple sugars, glucose and galactose. Lactase breaks lactose down to its constituent simple sugars so that they can more easily be absorbed by picky mammalian guts.

Fun fact: lactose-free milk still has all the sugars that made up its original lactose content (you could even argue it still has all its lactose, if you wanted to be really obstinate). Glucose in particular registers as sweeter than lactose and for this reason many "lactose-free" milks have messages on the packaging informing consumers that they have "no sweetener added".

Lactose-free milks also tend to be Ultra Heat Treated, which enhances the sweet taste by means of the Maillard reaction. See wikipedia.
> The claim that employers pay half is just a feel-good claim with no economic basis.

Can you expand on this? Is it that employers don’t really contribute an equal amount to the employee withholding? Or is it an acknowledgment that absent this withholding, one would expect the money to show up in the regular paycheck?
Totally agree. I've never used Bazel; it sounds a lot like Nuke. I had a coworker whose job was to maintain the CI. His commit messages would look like this sometimes:

> Fix CI issue with blah blah blah

> Hmm that didn't work lets try something from stackoverflow

> Build fix

> Build fix please work

> Please

> I hate my life

> I am tired and hungry, I want to go home

> Stupid yaml

The CTO would call him like a week later to make sure he was okay. This happened often before we switched to Nuke. It rarely happened afterwards. It's awesome being able to debug your CI locally.

The problem is that your definition of "slightly" might not agree with that of the majority - and then you end up being targeted for your lifestyle choices.

As far as freedom not being a binary... true, but insofar as it's a function of social arrangements, it's possible to find (or at least strive to find) a global maximum where everybody is as free as possible.
The problem with YC is they get so many applications that they can't accept even all of the really good ones.

So my advice, get accepted into any startup accelerator/business incubator. That alone helps with traction with VCs.

The only commonality about the 'Havana Syndrome' that has occurred in Cuba, China, Australia and Washington is that the victims were all Government Employees.

I have said for some time that these occurrences are some form of "Industrial Accident". In other words, the victims have work-related injuries and so could possibly claim thousands in compensation from their employers.

By blaming other adversaries, the Government is trying to squirm out of paying the compensation that is deserved for the Government activities causing the victims' injuries.
I'd agree there's something you don't understand if you think the response being advocated for is generally Soviet-style communism with zero of the properties of capitalism and no shipping lanes for some reason.
The average ethereum transaction fee right now is more expensive than a domain renewal fee for many common TLDs.

Right now, the original purchase price of one of these domains is ~4 years of fees on a traditional registrar. Let's round the transaction fee down to $10 for the sake of simplicity. If you update your configuration every two years (which seems generous), you'll break even in...six years? And that's assuming whoever made the contract doesn't take a fee.

This assumes Ethereum fees don't change. Proof of stake might affect transaction cost, but the trend right now is up and to the right: in one year the average transaction cost has increased two orders of magnitude.

If we assume the rate of growth of the average transaction fee slows dramatically to one order of magnitude every two years for the next few years, that means the cost of your domain will probably never break even (over a traditional domain) in your lifetime. Even if it only doubles every two years, you'll likely never break even.
This misses the point of what makes a contagion so bad. An outbreak of a contagious disease is bad because victims do not (usually) consent to them and often has limited or no means of protecting themselves against infection. A nicotine addiction is nothing like that.

rqlite author here. https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite/

Yes, there is no reason why that wouldn't work. rqlite supports on-disk mode so you could run litestream alongside an rqlite node and backup the underlying SQLite database to your favourite cloud provider using litestream.

The only downside is that rqlite performance is very sensitive to the number of writes to disk, and that's why rqlite uses an in-memory SQLite database by default, and lets the Raft log persist to disk. In exchange you can be sure that your writes are persisted to disk when the API acks your request. Perhaps if rqlite used a RAM-based filesystem for everything, and you combined it with litestream you could get much higher-performance from rqlite, with backup (with only a tiny window for data loss) if you use litestream. It's not entirely trivial, however, due the difference in data consistency models. For example, which SQLite database should be updated if the Leader in the cluster changes? It gets complicated.

Ben has written a great program here. I wish I had his ideas! It's got me thinking. :-)
Gitlab can load its ci file from a remote web server. What I have done is generate the yaml programmatically and this gets returned from the web server. Less than ideal but it at least allows dynamic creation

Let’s say I wanted the user to import a standardized CSV of their progress (in something like learning, fitness, finances, etc).

Is there a way you could easily set the Ink variables based on that input and then create a story (of possible paths forward) from that current state?
I've had similar thoughts in the past with blogs. Make more controversial opinion pieces require readers to indicate their concern and feedback, and then address inline. This way, I can understand the percentage of readers that bounce after reading the headline or don't engage too deep.
It's not really a contradiction to take credit for the effort behind something, but also make an effort to allow that thing to be independent once started, is it?
From a long term perspective I'm not worried but short to mid term it might cause some issues because currently there aren't that many Rust jobs yet. It's kind of a niche still, jobs wise.
I've never studied categories, but my reading of the parent comment was that a category was the combination of a graph and a seperate identification of paths within the graph in addition to the bare graph. Thus having isomorphic graphs would be necessary but not sufficient for two categories to be equivalent.

I guess you could represent that as an extra complex graph, but I'm guessing that would be unwieldly, and may not actually be useful for analysos.
It's interesting to me how these failing giants still have enough momentum to feed thousands of people, yet still consistently manage to get beaten by companies a fraction of their size and no momentum at all.

It's a waste of human labour at industrial scale.

It also seems like software companies, and most tech companies in general, always fail together with their core product. Perhaps unsurprisingly, since the competitiveness of the market makes it very unlikely they'll strike gold a second time with another software product.

Momentum appears irrelevant and diversification pointless when all you know to do is software.
First time I saw DJ Godfather they had DJ Stingray play before him and I enjoyed that style of modern harder electro a lot more, if only because the production was so much better :)

The scene here was neither androgynous nor restrained in the public displaying of affection - but overtly sexual displays were very much in the minority and stood out, probably because British people loved being able to shed our passively-aggressive polite and emotionally stunted personas for an evening by consuming large amounts of pills and just wanting to dance and hug people ;)

I've seen some full-on stuff at squat parties though. Ecstasy and alcohol can make people completely lose their inhibitions lol.
There are so many beautiful UI hints with this.

1) The shape of the microphone positively urges the user to lean forward and talk into it. Compare to a modern smartphone where it's not at all obvious where the microphone is.

2) The giant red button next to the microphone positively scream "press me to talk", and it's obvious that the red LED will light up when the button is pressed. Removes any "is this thing on"? thoughts.

3) The patch panel is quite genius, it's obvious how to target the desired recipient. One might quibble with the plug systenm, but using the large style plugs is a great choice for unsteady hands. These plugs have more leeway if not plugged all the way in than micro style plugs.

4) The recipients are all in a line, and due to the design, one of them is always selected. That removes any "did I select someone", sa I sometimes experience when sharing on my phone to some social network.

5) What's more, the last selected recipient is persistent, even in the event of a power cut.

6) Thermal printer is genius. Yaya can tear off important messages and carry them with her.
> That it wasn't predictable or obvious flu cases would go to near zero.

How could it not be predictable? I get the cold/flu when I or someone in the family is exposed to someone sick and it gets passed on.

If we're all staying in the house and not going anywhere for a year, by what mechanism could we possibly get sick? Seemed predictable to me.

In any case, it's been so awesome to not be sick in over a year. With elementary school kid, it used to be I was sick every few weeks all year long. Not looking forward to going back to that kind of normal.
It would have, but after the employees had time to raise their concerns internally. Instead many of them felt kind of betrayed, as they learnt the new policy at the same time the rest of us did. Not really cool.

R0 is not static. As people become immune to the current strains and the virus mutates, people will still have partial immunity to the new strains. Some people will be fully immune depending on their antibody response and the mutations.

Next year it is entirely possible that the R0 of covid drops below influenza.

If you introduced influenza to a naive population (i.e. native americans) you would get massive death.

<<Experts believe that as much as 90 percent of the American Indian population may have died from illnesses introduced to America by Europeans>>
According to Article 3 of GDPR, it applies to processing if any of three conditions are met:

1. Processing that takes place in the context of processors and controllers that are in the Union, regardless of whether or not the processing itself takes place in the Union.

2. Processing the data of subjects who are in the Union by controllers or processors who are not in the Union if the processing is related to offering goods or services to such subjects in the Union or the processing is related to monitoring the behavior of such subjects that takes place in the Union.

3. Processing of personal data by a controller not established in the Union, but in a place where Member State law applies by virtue of public international law.

If none of those cover an entity, that entity's processing is not covered by GDPR.

#2 would probably be the only relevant one for HN.

Is HN offering goods or services to subjects in the Union? Sure, people in the Union can access HN and even make accounts. But that might not be enough. One of the recitals for Article 3 elaborates:

> In order to determine whether such a controller or processor is offering goods or services to data subjects who are in the Union, it should be ascertained whether it is apparent that the controller or processor envisages offering services to data subjects in one or more Member States in the Union. Whereas the mere accessibility of the controller’s, processor’s or an intermediary’s website in the Union, of an email address or of other contact details, or the use of a language generally used in the third country where the controller is established, is insufficient to ascertain such intention, factors such as the use of a language or a currency generally used in one or more Member States with the possibility of ordering goods and services in that other language, or the mentioning of customers or users who are in the Union, may make it apparent that the controller envisages offering goods or services to data subjects in the Union.

Does HN envisage offering services in the Union, or is it simply a site that happens to work when accessed from the Union but was not envisaged to do so?

Another recital elaborates on the monitoring of behavior of subjects in the Union:

> In order to determine whether a processing activity can be considered to monitor the behaviour of data subjects, it should be ascertained whether natural persons are tracked on the internet including potential subsequent use of personal data processing techniques which consist of profiling a natural person, particularly in order to take decisions concerning her or him or for analysing or predicting her or his personal preferences, behaviours and attitudes.

HN seems to collect minimal data. It might not rise to the level of monitoring that would be needed to count as monitoring behaviour.
you're like a hedge fund manager who's made money 6+ years in a row; your day will come.

You can't "avoid sick people" by moving away from those obviously sick. If that were the case this covid thing would have been easy. Best bet is your habbit avoided you catching hay fever from someone with seasonal allergies.
I've had lifelong friends come from every job I've had. I can name many people from my last 3 jobs that I would want to (and will) get a beer with after the pandemic.

> Our CORS middleware is ~100 LOC

What?! For responding to OPTIONS requests and setting the right header on responses from your backend?

I don't really see the problems you're citing to be a cause of "complexity in CORS" either, but more not having a proper development setup or similar. CORS is specifically about domains. As long as you set the frontend domain as accepted origin in your responses from the backend (and respond to OPTIONS), you're good to go.
Im sure there is a happy middle ground here where nut juice could be called something both attractive and accurate, but not all foods are protected like that. Milk chocolate is not really chocolate, lots of things with "pie" in the name aren't really pie, lemon "bars" are not really bars, choco tacos are not really tacos, peanuts are not actually nuts, and numerous other examples. If they made it illegal to label nut juices as milk, it would due to lobbying from dairy and not from a general protection of accurate food labeling.

That's not a result of taxation, it's because the US has a pathologically terrible police culture that sees extra-judicial killing as acceptable.
But what does that have to do with CORS? If you're just writing the client-side code (what runs in the browser), then you have no control over 3rd party origins, hence either you can use their API or not. Unless you write your own backend also, and then supporting CORS is trivial.
Rust has been picked up at Amazon, Google, Facebook and Microsoft. I think that gravitational pull is going to keep Rust a going concern for a long time.

That being said, it's an investment in the future mostly. There aren't anywhere near as many Rust jobs as PHP, Java, or Python jobs.

I always read these files before building from source. Is this really so rare? Why wouldn't people read the scripts they're about to run?

I'm actually kind of surprised at how "low" the growth was from 2020 to 2021 considering overnight entire countries became dependent on Amazon for purchasing in some cases.

I'm in Canada, with the locks downs, curfews, etc my entire shopping experience since 2020 March has been:

- Costco

- GoodFood (Had before covid)

- UberEats (Twice because of work vouchers)

- Home Depot (soil & lumber to build a raised garden bed)

Nothing else.

The PPU is definitely complex but the NES has the benefit of being much, much, much better documented than the GB which is honestly a huge advantage.

The NES also has a bunch of complex cartridge mappers but you don’t necessarily need to implement the most complex ones like MMC5.
Not entirely different. Smokers may choose to smoke and that is their choice but the people around them don't. Some of them may have control over their exposure but children (and pets) in smoking households are victims with little to no control over their exposure.

I don't think we should ban tobaccos outright, regardless of that fact, but smoking has real consequences for people other than the smoker themselves.
I posted it below, but here's an amazing history of the Music Institute in the late 1980s, in a way the peak of the scene where techno was created:

You do have to be careful with your groupings. I wonder if this isn't a confusion between the number of cigarettes smoked by a particular population and the number of people from each population who smoke, or something like that.

I'm not sure where the number '20 million menthol users' keeps coming from, perhaps somewhere in the data behind [1]? Regardless, [2] and [3] suggest that somewhere around 20% of the African American population smokes tobacco in some form. Among those 20% of black Americans who smoke about 85% use menthols.

Work-Place Injury.

All victims have been Government Employees in Cuba, China, Australia, Washington.

They're doing something at work that is causing their injuries. Of course, the Government is blaming others so that the Government doesn't have to pay Workers Compensation.
Personally I do not like Arduino (and its IDE) because it hides many complex things under cover. But, really good thing about it is that programming microcontrollers like this teaches you to keep your code lean, worshipping any single byte of memory you have left, counting any single tick of your clock. I wish all software developers would begin their careers by programming MCUs to work out proper habbits. :-)

This is a skill that should be very valuable to pretty much any product design team, even outside games. Tech products are mostly UI, and UI is mostly interactive text. For some reason UI/UX design teams tend to be run by people who think visually or technically, with writing as an afterthought. I think the very specific skills required to write good IF would improve almost any UI, and there’s probably more money in that career than in a career writing IF.
