Slack is quite the productivity destroyer if you let it.

I turn of all notifications and let it forward any direct mentions to email. Fortunately that works. So if anyone calls on me I'll see it in email.

Aside from that, I only read the slack channels twice a day, morning and evening and close the tab the rest of the day.

If the world is on fire, email me. Otherwise I'll see your slack chat tonight.
Also, would this be transmissible? Could vaccinated person A infect unvaccinated person B, leading to community transmission of immunity?

I'm not an expert in this field, but it sounds logical at least, and provides a motive for the discrepancy.
Suprisingly legit emails sometimes still go to spam. I recently had an actual message from Google go into spam and I didn't put it there.
You have to consider that if asset appreciation was a mirror image of CPI inflation then rent payments must go up to compensate for the increase in housing prices. They did go up, but mostly in major cities and they didn't catch up with asset appreciation.

Remember, when you get a mortgage to buy a house including land you will eventually have to pay the mortgage back and if you aren't doing so yourself, then your tenants have to do it and their income gains don't exceed CPI as of now (assuming no job switch). Even if you sell, you are speculating that someone else thinks that way and if no such person exists then the price of housing will go down.
Ask HN: Laptop Stand with Space for Keyboard?
I'm looking for a highly portable laptop stand which has space for a keyboard to live underneath the laptop. I can touch type so no issue with not seeing the keyboard. My current stand forces the laptop screen to be too far away.
For folks who have never used Fortran, how is the day to day life compared to Python or Java?
I've been using the same IDE for the last 10 years because that is what my colleagues use. Over the last decade the UI has changed significantly. Not only that, the keyboard shortcuts also change, and often don't work the same across different IDEs in the suite. For example, the shortcut to vertically select a column of text has changed at least twice. I like Jetbrains, but considering switching to something simpler that changes less often. Might miss out on some advanced features, but I don't use those often, and maybe I don't need it anyway

There's also some wacky code in the HTML. Check out the body tag:

Agreed on the first part, that's where being a proxy for taking a walk comes into play. But regarding the second part: almost any lawn game would qualify for that, no? This could also be done over a game of horseshoes or Kubb. But that would miss all the other the gatekeeping, in-group signaling qualities mentioned.

Although maybe croquet qualifies as posh enough... Now you're having me wonder if we can categorize lawn games by the classes that play them?

The fact that the gap between the blue and green lines is increasing over time confirms your hypothesis.
Yes, and I think that's a good thing. But I don't see think that's incompatible with my view here - that freedom of speech doesn't mean I have the right to say anything and expect to keep my job.

If I was to say something offensive, I should be accorded due process, but the result of that process may be that I'm let go.
I mean... I don't think I've ever planted a tomato in my life, and I don't feel like a hollow shell performing a simulacrum of life?

I really don't think I would like this feature. I like the compartmentalisation of different streams of work, different social groups etc.

My friends often complain about having different chat apps, but I quite like being able to see a single icon pop up on my lockscreen and having a fair idea who it's from.
It isn't against the law necessarily, as obscenity laws in the US only make it illegal if the medium is an image depicting a child and there is no artistic purpose (very vague). Regardless, It annoys me when organizations do this when they can easily just create a ToS outlining what isn't allowed. It truly boggles my mind the contempt that some orgs have at creating and maintaining a ToS instead resorting to hiding behind fantasy laws as justification. Just straight face tell your users "Nothing related to X of any kind or permaban", very clear, very succint.
No, it's fixed at when the house was built. You'll see "renovations" where the entire house minus one wall is demolished, and the new structure built around it. This allows the owners to avoid reassessment.

That's because there is no state which protects a legal system which would enforce the ownership rights of cryptos currently. Stocks on their own are also a just piece of paper

You can say as many wrong things as you want, but you cannot expect that there will be no consequences.

Those consequences range from people not wishing to associate with you anymore at the mildest end, to actual fines and jail time, if your speech can be proven to have directly incited violence (the bar for which various according to country and jurisdiction).

You can't just claim that "I have no control over these words that are coming out of my mouth, and I take no responsibility for them", free speech doesn't work like that.

And if your strongest argument for saying something is "I have the right to say this", then maybe reconsider whether it's actually worth saying.
> How is email better in terms of usability than say Telegram or any other app.

Telegram only promises to keep your messages for 6 months of inactivity. If you switch to something else, you're going to have to archive the messages yourself.
I think it was popularized in the USA by the first amendment

> FREEDOM of speech is a constitutional guarantee. But that doesn't mean it is absolute or not subject to some limitations

one important thing is that the burden of the proof is on the accusers.

it was "repopularized" because there were literally nazis killing people in the streets, you should be aware that being a nazi it's a crime almost everywhere in the western World (except US) and that nazi usually hide themselves behind the "you should prove that hate speech against the jews is a crime"

So the broader definition of freedom of speech AND the consequences is a consequence of nazis taking over the public discourse, not the contrary.

Yes, it's the paradox of tolerance.
I think they are suggesting:

- Enter the command module, in spacesuit

- Quickly re-pressurize

- Help incapacitated astronaut into suit (temporarily removing own suit if necessary)

- Once both suited up, open airlock again to admit remaining astronaut

But I’m not sure if that would have been possible. Was there really a way to re-pressurize in a few seconds, 2001 style?

Hey snap! I just posted the same thing before I read your post!
Not opting into marketing spam (or opting out immediately in the website's settings) takes care of 99% of it for me. On a set of ~250 accounts I will maybe receive one marketing e-mail per month (and they quickly get a complaint to their data protection officer to discourage that happening again).

For transactional stuff a set of rules to automatically read+archive stuff that you need to keep (invoices, receipts, order notifications, etc) but don't necessary need to action.

This leaves you with only the relevant stuff in the inbox and makes it much easier to do "inbox zero". I will typically get less than one email a day actually landing in my inbox using this technique.

Politics in English-speaking countries, particularly the US, seems to have partly become entertainment. Some of the "fans" appear more fervent than even the politicians themselves.

I'm an outsider and even I've been drawn into US politics, because it is entertaining. Sometimes it's more entertaining than a fictional story. But I doubt that this makes for sensible governing.
It probably does actually mean "File Transfer Protocol". Its not uncommon (or wasn't at least) to find workflows that rely on data files of a specific format (to varying degrees) being FTP'd into the right server and then processed by that server.

Looking at UK politics…

It's funny how people who are conservative claim their right to free speech is being curtailed when at the same time they're busy curtailing the rights of people who aren't like them - immigrants, non-Cis, non-white people, climate change protesters etc.

Oh and let's not forget that the conservatives in the UK branded the likely implications of Brexit as “project fear”
They use a small amount of some of the most valuable land in the United States.

They also purchased "air rights" from neighboring buildings.

Their LVT bill (assuming air rights were also taken into account) would not be small.

It seems that people also don't actually like living in them. It's particularly noteworthy that they're speaking out about it because they're risking doing real damage to their investment by doing so. That's a sign that they really don't like it.

If it were built primarily as a place to live rather than as an investment I don't think it would look the same at all. There would be far greater emphasis on livability, less on views and probably a much lower height.
i do a new routine every couple of weeks.

right now i'm doing this:

* >10k steps/day

* <2k cals/day

if i miss on either, i just forget it -- next day is brand new and i don't keep a running total for the week. i just decided this, and it seems like the right thing to do.

i have usually hit my steps, but have gone over on the cals often, and sometimes wildly so. one day i ate 4,500 cals. i didn't really know that was even possible, but i was ravenous that day for some reason, and i ate a bunch of healthy-ish stuff, but then also more than a couple slices of pizza, and that stuff had mad cals.

we could add the guidelines below b/c i think about them, but they're more about keeping under that calorie limit and trying to move towards getting less addicted to sugar:

* low sugar/low-no added sugar in most foods

* wfpb/vegan as much as possible (less meat; less processed)

It sounds like you're saying "I only see these leftists using extremely shallow reasoning, and they don't understand that they're wrong because they don't look at my/our reasoning beyond a shallow level."

If you would look for more depth in the reasoning of the people you're disagreeing with yourself, you might be surprised at what you might find. The frustration you're expressing to me seems to be very symmetric, occurring on both sides of the spectrum.
I’d be fine with $50 million dollar apartments if the owners paid 1% per year in real estate taxes, but in NYC the law is ridiculous and based on equivalent rent and there are no equivalent rentals. Taxes on a $50 million dollar condo are about $50k per year rather than $500k.
Nah mate, tomatoes are completely different from potatoes. Truly life changing. I pity the 90% who hasn’t planted one. /s
Did I express an opinion? I'm pretty sure I just quoted a statistic.

But since you asked: American police kill white men (including unarmed white men) at the same rate at which they kill black men, once you control for crime rate and poverty. But police killings of white men don't become national news.

Tony Timpa died in near-identical circumstances to George Floyd. Ask yourself why you haven't heard of him. Or Ryan Whitaker, or Daniel Shaver.

(Does the overrepresentation of black men among criminals and the poor have anything to do with racism? Obviously it does, and I'm happy to discuss it in good faith. But I've probably derailed the thread enough already.)
Thanks! gVisor intercepts app syscalls and serve them in user space (inside separate VMs, one for each container), which reduces runtime performance significantly. Both Firecracker and gVisor use VMs to sandbox container code.

Kwarantine, on the other hand, directly runs container code on the hardware (no VMs). It uses MMU/page tables to provide a different kernel to each container.

> Or some kind of intelligence for identifying, for example, a receipt or confirmation email (which I want indexed) vs a promotional email from the same vendor (which I do not).

Yeah, one thing where even statistical filtering sucks. Usually there's not enough confirmation vs promo samples to train a filter and some senders tend to use the same templates for both.

It can only be done manually.
HashiCorp's code signing key compromised

> This makes me think - should there be a link in the email that says, "This was not me" -- that allows the website dev to ban the offending IP?

Maybe not ban the IP but definitely remove the email from the account (after a confirmation CTA). Some services do this and if I known them I hit the link.
That's mostly because you shouldn't be treating an industry as if it's a single monolith.

But I'm interested, could you elaborate on what you find fascinating?

To start with, it seems pretty reasonable that someone would buy a product that has enormous positive effects but also causes a big problem.

Then, for someone who is willing to buy the original product, why would it be fascinating for them to buy a product that mitigates the problem? Assuming the mitigation actually works, I can only think of two reasons not to buy it. One is spite. The other is the idea that because you played a big role in causing the problem you deserve to suffer and aren't allowed to use mitigations. Both of those are clearly bad reasons.

I guess I could see farmers demanding that the mitigation product be merged into the original product, now that the technology exists? But these two products are so different that I don't see how you could actually do that.
The commenter picked racism as an example, because they think viewpoint diversity is bad, and racism is a good example of a "bad" viewpoint.
Research on FOSS Foundations
The Psychology of Personalisation
"Workflow" is a term of art in business software that typically encodes into software what would have been the movement of paper around an office in the past.

In an old paper office, documents would go into people's inboxes for decision making, and would be forwarded to someone else when done. Think of customer service taking a report from a customer (this is the inbox for Customer Support), turning that into an entry in an internal bug database (the inbox for a developer), and then into a code fix up for review (the inbox for a different developer), and so on. This is a workflow. Work literally flows from one person to another throughout the organization.

Where integration between different software systems occurs, there's a spectrum of choices, from humans poking data into UIs through to direct API calls. One of the cheaper automated-yet-ad-hoc integrations is a script which FTPs files into well-known directories, often with semantically significant directory and file name conventions (e.g. dates or company codes). The receiving system polls the FTP location for new data (frequently CSV files), often using regexes or other techniques to extract metadata from filenames (since CSV doesn't really support non-repeating metadata).

So FTP workflows is an ad-hoc workflow integration using FTP to connect two different software systems, replicating what would have been done by paper 20 years ago.

> God forbid they don't behave "ecologically efficient" when doing so

I like how you casually take a dump on being environmentally friendly. Yes, city dwellers do have less of an impact on the environment. Like all animals we like as much space as possible. But unlike other animals we don’t need it to survive.

If more of us fit in cities, there would be more space that could be left for wild animals. Maybe that equilibrium will help the planet flourish for longer. That’s actually a good thing, even if your condescending comment won’t acknowledge it.
>Let’s say real times were 58.994999 and 58.995000 seconds.

How do you achieve a million frames per second? Even analog input (like touching - which would be capacitive [hence more tolerances]) will have a very hard time registering that, just based on cable and PCB traces length, temperature differences (which affect silicon and resistance in general). 7 digit precision is a non-trivial task for non-controlled environment. For example 8.5 digit voltmeters take one 1 minute for a single measurement and they have to have extremely good temperature controls.

Then for the microsecond precision you have to consider the speed of sound just to propagate to participants to hear the gun.

That's not the alternative at all. The alternative is sensible city planning with mixed zoning neighborhoods that create comfortable centers all around the city. Add metros, bike lanes, and parks and you have a pleasant city instead of a concrete jungle or a suburban sprawl.

Fair enough. I'm certainly not advocating that it's ok to punch someone over something they said.

As a person who has played one full game of golf and a handful of mini-golf games I highly recommend Top Golf. It's basically a driving range plus restaurant. Relaxed, comfortable, fun. It's satisfying to just whack a few golf balls as hard as you can and see where they go. It's also not a problem if people have different skill levels.
Isn't it a bit more like a school suspending someone for turning up to class with explosives in their bag, and after they explain and apologise the school let's them off with a suspension, and then a short time later when the suspension is done they go ahead and do it again and this time the school just goes straight to the cops?
Which rights are they curtailing and how are they doing it?
This isn't strictly related to the biblical jubilee (wherein land ownership is reset every 50 years), but they also had debt cancelation every seven years (Deuteronomy 15). The Bible warns followers that they must not avoid lending as the seventh year approaches, calling this a sin.

Well that didn't work out too well, and at some point (end of the second temple Era, about two millenia ago) the rabbinic leadership led by Hillel invented a legal loophole to work around the law without explicitly overturning it, allowing debts to persist past the sabbatical year. To read more, search the web for "prozbol" (פרוזבול).

Anyway the takeaway is that good intentions aren't always enough, you have to think through the second order effects of the laws you create. The sabbatical year law was presumably invented to protect the poor, in effect it discouraged lending and helped no one.
