For anyone still at or associated with a university, how would they react to behavior like this today?

When I was in school (circa 2000), the IT offices were starting to crack down on students (with some threats of expulsion) for activities like this, though it wasn't yet typical or uniform. I know at GT there were a few computer labs that, if you paid a bit of attention, you could easily get ssh access to every computer in the cluster, and then using nohup or screen (this was pre-tmux) you could have your program run as long as the system was up. I had to ssh in a couple times because I'd forgotten to logout and didn't want to get "baggy pantsed".
You need to compile a static executable (not with static libraries, there's a subtle difference). The flags depend on your compiler.

If you're on Linux, musl libc and musl-tools are useful for dealing with this reliably.

If they can get blood glucose working through the watch, they are going to sell tens of millions of additional units.
I am guessing you are looking at daily fantasy sports and not fantasy sports in general. DraftKings and Fanduel do not have a 90% market share on the entire fantasy sports industry. I believe Yahoo still has the largest market share when it comes to traditional fantasy sports and has done a poor job translating that into success in DFS in which they are fighting for 3rd place. That is why I threw in the caveat "with the right leadership".
With how Microsoft is handling Github I'm quite happy with them. Anyone worried about Microsoft acquisitions is living about a decade behind with the belief that Ballmer is still running things.
Really though, what "fundamental freedoms" actually have been taken away? I'm not sure how it is in Western Europe, but in the USA, very little has actually changed. All mask "mandates", distancing "requirements", most travel "restrictions" and many business "closures" have been voluntary and ultimately unenforced. Fortunately, enough people are voluntarily doing the right thing, but it could have really gone sideways if there were more idiots who refused.

For some reason this whole mask thing has really gotten people all worked up about their rights, over such a tiny thing. Suddenly, everyone is Braveheart--fighting for their freedom against the oppression of... uh... wearing a little piece of cloth on their face. I mean, generations past were drafted off to war for their country, many of them losing their lives. Talk about your freedom being under attack! Today people are losing their minds over a piece of cloth.
That's true. I would still say that there is something of interest to discuss here, which is the trend (if n=2 can be a trend) of ultra-wealthy tech moguls getting divorced after being married for decades. These are two of the five richest couples in the world, and they were both married before being ultra-wealthy.

Many people envy them for their wealth, power, access, health, etc. But apparently having all of these things does not secure marital bliss. And perhaps having access to everything under the sun actually makes marital happiness and security harder to come by.

This raises the question: if this is true for the wealthiest people, is it also true for 'mere' hundred-millionaires or millionaires? What are the actual impacts of achieving high levels of wealth, and should we actually be happier having less money/power because it means that we are more likely to have better relationships?
Yeah, it's clear that Singapore's ruling party has worked hard to ensure that no-one can call them corrupt, or even publicise any information that would give the appearance of corruption.

In spite of its mistakes, the CDC has still been one of our best sources of guidance throughout the pandemic. Many of our politicians, media personalities, and social media platforms have failed miserably in comparison.

I’m all in favor of constructive criticism that can lead to improvement, but I suspect this book may do more harm than good. Lewis has a history of taking a narrow point of view and inappropriately extrapolating it in a way that evokes strong feelings of misguided righteous indignation. A prime example of this was Flash Boys, which demonized an entire segment of the financial industry that significantly enhances our economy. I still encounter repeated echos of his sensationalized misperceptions coming from intelligent people on HN and elsewhere. I hope we don’t see a repeat with the CDC.
Earlier today I submitted a detailed investor-facing presentation from the company, Rockley Photonics, that’s rumored to be supplying Apple: https://rockleyphotonics.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Rock... (as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27025282).

As part of merging into a SPAC, Rockley announced Apple as its largest customer (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2021/05/01/apple-watc...).

That PDF covers what they can monitor, including glucose indication, continuous glucose, BP, and other biomarkers. Slides 25-28 are mostly about their product roadmap and unnamed existing alpha customers.

(I don’t have a position in or relationship with this company. The PDF is linked to from https://rockleyphotonics.com/investors/)
> Not only is it a skill, but it's very difficult to make that sort of effort when you are depressed, which many lonely people are.

It's true. TBH to the extent I've done/helped with it, I've learned more about making it easy than doing it well. The easiest options I know about:

- hike (you literally just need to agree on a trail and a time. People can bring their own food, or you can do it in the afternoon so it doesn't overlap with a meal)

- hang out in a park/at the beach. Almost as easy as a hike but you do need food. This can just be pizza and drinks. Bring a barbecue and a cooler of (veggie) burgers/hot dogs, drinks, chips and dip if you want to get fancy

- game night: almost the same as the park but you'd do it in your house (or apartment clubhouse). Slightly more clean-up, but food can be very easy and low-key (takeout, pizza, salad). This is easy to do regularly, too, and you can change the games depending on who's there, so it's got broad appeal. Board games are an obvious classic, and/or people can bring laptops, or you can set up a projector and an xbox. My roommates did this for years and we probably had over a hundred different guests at one point or another. People started bringing their own TVs and xboxes

- dinner party/potluck: like game night, but for a group that likes to cook this can be super fun. You don't actually have to make much because there are N dishes, so you eat a 1/N portion of each. Also, if you do it regularly, sometimes everyone agrees they're too tired to cook and you just all go in on takeout and drinks, which is fun too.

- group workouts: just need a gym and a time (or a park, you can do an outdoor workout)

- meet at a bar: not even really hosting, but if you suggest it and get everyone to agree on a time, it actually is hosting

(Finally: IME people are happy to venmo you for food if you ask in advance. Especially for recurring events this can be good to do, so that hosting stays fun for you)

I think the benefit of a component like this is that it is a well defined interface. As long as it doesn't become a monster super-component then it seems useful.
unfortunately, the real, invasive blood glucose meeters are already pretty inaccurate. The current requirement in the US is +-15%, before 2016 it was +-20%.
Also you can run from cache and it also solves this performance score issue E.g.

https://docs.wp-rocket.me/article/1103-google-tracking-add-o...
This is going against the actual established best practice of avoiding premature optimisations. React renders are crazy cheap, and when they start getting expensive, you can just chuck a PureComponent in there and `cut off` a whole subtree from unnecessary rerendering.

I think this poster is missing the key insight that React components are indeed nothing more than functions. If anyone is reading this right now go console.log the output of your component, it's an object that describes the DOM output. Logic should not live in components, React is a rendering library. Make use of higher-order functions. Make use of a proper state management solution. Don't over-use hooks. It's really that simple.
I love ShellCheck. It’s good at providing hints at improving your style too.
Yikes. You're right. Added an edit to the top.
angr (http://angr.io/) uses Z3 heavily to perform concolic execution, which lets you do things like load up a block of code or an entire program and ask, symbolically, questions like “to get to this point in the binary, what kind if input is necessary?” We use it a lot for CTFs (“the input is of the format ‘flag{[16 ASCII characters]}’, tell me which ones result in the output including the win text”) and security research (“we ran this program symbolically and can prove that this loop accesses only these addresses on all possible executions”).
One example I vividly recall when visiting Rice University (in Houston):

Literally across the street from my hotel room, on the 16th story, was a single-family detached house.
Plenty of news is off topic on HN. Most, in fact.
I currently run it on a little raspberry pi sitting in a closet. Every device in my home points to it, allowing me to filter out undesirable stuff (mostly ads) from one place. Doesn't help you when you're out and about on your cell data plan though.
The important thing to note about Houston is that it has grown 20-60% per decade over the past half century and now has over 7,000,000 people and is still growing rapidly.

It really doesn't matter how many anecdotes or criticisms from urban designers get posted here, because the important part is that an enormous number of people want to and do live in Houston, which is tautologically better urban design than any city which to which people have been unable or unwilling to move.
I thought I was just dumb for not being able to figure this out, but turns out it's just a hard problem for everyone haha
I'm sure Apple will handle it gracefully. Like with their HRM they make it clear what it can/can't do.
I disagree with 4 as well

Maybe the author just used a poor example, but his useToggle is actually less readable to me.

The initial example with just useState is super obvious to understand what's going on in that component.

With his useToggle example, if I'm in this codebase I'm now asking myself - does toggle() fire some hidden side effect? Now I need to go check out the hook to make sure.

In theory, but a) many properties are owned outright, for one reason or another, b) the flood maps assume flood control measures all work properly (e.g Harvey necessitated intentional release of water in order to prevent dams/levees from failing), c) over a 30 year mortgage you have a 26% chance of experiencing a "100-year flood", d) 100 year flood definition is inherently imprecise in the first place, not to mention climate change issues...

I could go on, not sure how much of this is really Houston's fault, the only flood insurance program is federal and they exert so much influence because they do establish the requirements for ~everyone who has a mortgage. Feds should probably take the lead on this.

Also Houston is just really flat to begin with, basically at sea level.
Ask HN: What's up with app reviews in Apple's app store?
Several folks tell me they have submitted reviews of an app I put in Apple's app store. But when I browse the app catalog, I don't see them. Even after a couple of weeks, which I would think is time enough for Apple to review the reviews. Can you explain how the process works? Why might these be withheld? Many thanks for any wisdom!
Thanks for the explanation. Is it only possible for people to [vouch] a submission once it is dead? If not, then it seems like posts can get caught in purgatory — not flagged enough to be dead (and therefore vouchable), but not alive enough to be seen anywhere.

In this case, it seems a reasonable compromise would be to keep the post on /ask, but let it fall off of the main front page. This is a respectful discussion about HN/moderation, and that seems appropriate for Ask.

While I agree it's probably uninteresting intellectually, it does have potential to be interesting emotionally. Not a lot of opportunities for HN to discuss topics such as divorce.
I find almost every section to be extremely distasteful.

for instance, points 2 and 3 basically suggest throwing YAGNI out the window in favor of premature abstraction. Combine it with the highly-decoupled style in point 1, and you have a nice spaghetti recipe.

I could keep going, but it looks like everyone is piling on this poor guy already.

I hold 6 figures in cryptocurrencies but it's really hard to argue with Buffet on this. After over a decade they're still almost entirely used for speculation. The only major real world use outside trading is on the black market. Unfortunately there's no signs of that changing anytime soon. How many more decades do we have to wait for cryptocurrencies to revolutionize how we transact?
My mother was recently diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. Never smoked, no alcohol. For 3 months doctors were diagnosing her coughing as probably covid related, even when tests came negative. Probably a lot more people got late cancer diagnosis due to Covid. And lung cancer deaths are at 150K vs 577K for Covid.

As article says, genetic mutations are much more common among non-smokers. Exon 19 deletion egfr mutation was detected, so she started on Osimertinib that works very well. Sadly Osimertinib will work for a year or two, and then cancer mutates and gains resistance.
