I was playing around with this a while ago, using cloud-init and virt-install. But I found it to be quite cumbersome if you don't have some kind of metadata service that can provide cloud-init with the user-data, ie. not using the nocloud provider.

I started looking at this mock EC2 metadata service, but never did anything with it: https://github.com/sjjf/md_server

Ninja-edit: It seems like virt-install rencently abstracted the whole NoCloud-provider, this changes a lot of things: https://blog.wikichoon.com/2020/09/virt-install-cloud-init.h...
Look around Europe and you can see it. The reason US city development is a money hole is because you do city-level urban services in sprawling communities. The tax-payer density is just not high enough to economically support the cost of that infrastructure.
My work was doing the same (scala for crud app) and I gave a lightning talk at about exactly this - the expressiveness of the type system is hamstrung by the capabilities/quirks/documentation quality of the various serdes required to move scala objects into some other domain and back. Made everything so much harder than it should be.

Can we please stop pretending corporations have feeling and liberties the way natural persons do? It reads like collective insanity "stones have feeling too".
> Burning out all of the glucose and dopamine in your brain” isn’t a thing

You may be right that it can't happen from overwork--I've never heard of it--but glucose starvation of the brain is very much a thing. That's what hypoglycemia causes. Type 1 diabetic patients get brain fog when they take too much insulin (which causes hypoglycemia). When it's mild, they can tell it's happening and they seek sugar, which fixes the problem very quickly, if temporarily. When it's severe, they lapse into a coma and sometimes die.

If this person's diagnosis was accurate, sucking on a sugar cube would fix it instantly. If that didn't work then the diagnosis is suspect.

Ask HN: Keep getting Facetime calls from a friend but they are spoofed
My friend called me earlier today on Facetime.

An hour later he called me back on Facetime except this time it was two kids (I could see them) speaking with what seemed like a eastern European accent. For different reasons I thought they were his visitors so I just sent him a message that two kids were playing with his phone and had called me and called me "bitch" :-)

I tried calling him back, he received the call, didn't take it but we confirmed (in another channel) that I had called him.

The two kids however called me back and asked me to stop calling them because their dad would come soon(!) This time however they had covered the camera.

Both of us have verified that we don't have any unknown devices.

I've now been searching twitter for news but no known hack.

Any hints on how to fix this?

PS: some more details. I have three numbers stored for my friend, one from central Europe, two local (i.e. Norwegian), and only one of them is in use.
Depends on the complexity of what you are doing. For web stuff with unit tests I’ve seen it run in a few minutes.

Our current CI takes an hour because it has to build quite a complex app on iOS and Android, this happens in parallel but the Azure build nodes we use are pretty slow. Ideally it would be faster but it’s not too huge an issue in practice, we have the lint/unit tests etc. run first so the build will fail early for any glaring errors.
“I’m so disappointed the tool needs to exist” is not a criticism of the tool, is it? The person you quoted seems to be complaining about the state of the web more broadly
There is the additional factor that, at least in fast food, a salaried manager often makes a lower hourly rate than if they were paid at minimum wage plus overtime. It’s an industry filled with horrible bosses because the good bosses either leave or ran the math and declined the promotion in the first place.
CI generally is a topic where there is usually lots of potential for optimization, but many things are not easily done with common tooling. Some large companies put serious R&D effort into improving CI with custom tooling.

What is applicable to the specific project depends, same as to what is worth which effort. To a degree, of course throwing more resources at the problem helps - faster build workers, parallelized tests, ... but isn't always easily implemented on a chosen platform and costs money of course.

In projects I worked on, it varied greatly. From just a few minutes to cases where the full process took 6 hours (which then was only done as a nightly job, and individual merge requests only ran a subset of steps). I really would want <15 mins as the normal case, but it's often difficult to get the ability to do so.
Did you try selling at significantly higher prices? I bet there’s a huge market for boutique guitar pedals.

Reducing stress is something a lot of us could benefit from, but there are also some underlying medical issues that can be exacerbated by stress.

If you are still getting migraines you might want to see another doctor. They aren't super well understood yet, but there are pretty clear physiological signs and there are also some prophylactic treatment options. Chronic migraines are a very real neurological disorder, and for some people severe enough to be disabling.

In general I think it's a very hard line to walk to avoid over-pathologizing things while also not missing actual medical issues. Nobody really understands the brain, and the entire discourse around phenomenon like "brain fog" kinda bums me out. It's both easy for doctors to unfairly dismiss and easy for internet forums to spin pseudoscience about. The two reinforce each other even.

Keep hanging in there, and best of luck sorting out these issues.

Chia was supposed to be a less wasteful version of Bitcoin that would remain inherently decentralized, but already three days before release it's chewing through the high-end SSD supply chain, and the number one request farmers have is to be able to centralize into big farming pools. And these pools won't be along some co-operative model where everyone can pool their existing plots—pooling will require re-plotting, so the centralizing dynamic will be in full swing.

This was not just predictable but repeatedly and boringly predicted, and yet here we are. Good luck getting high-performance drives next year because Bram Cohen went and reinvented bingo.

The immense technical sophistication of this project, coupled with the failure to anticipate even the most basic first-order effects, make me wonder what's going on in the minds of the founders.
> But is burnout the same as severe PTSD?

Not in my experience. Sustained, sub-traumatic stress can cause burnout without any major traumatic event.

Cortisol ain't a good friend.
I get the sense that people that want to make everything political would not enjoy the adversaries they would bring without company protection.
That's not the case. They're explicitly saying employees are welcome to discuss the founder's activist preferences at work. They've also heavily used their workplace for activism. For example, they invited a political candidate to base a campaign out of their offices.
That is only 140 ppi. It's not terrible, but it is tiring on the eyes. 1080p at 11 inches is 200ppi. That is not too much for people to ask.
I would recommend you try VMware Fusion.

https://www.vmware.com/products/fusion.html

From your list I've only tried VirtualBox and the experience wasn't so good, bad performance and many outright crashes.

Fusion was quite pleasant to use for my main work system. Make sure you give it enough RAM _and_ that you keep enough for the host, especially if you intend to also use it at the same time (I used to do 8GB and 8GB).
Now if only blockchains were good for anything.
TEDx talks (like the linked one is) are not proper TED talks, there are affiliated events all over hosting them. While there are many good TEDx talks, many of them aren't what you would expect when hearing the TED name. Especially bad is it that some TEDx events let quacks talk, which gives them a kind of legitimacy based on TED's reputation even though they're saying bullshit. Of course, this commingling has also tainted TED's brand.

The other thing is that most TED talks follow a certain formula. They do because it works, but watching many of them it sticks out and can be a bit annoying. There's probably a meta TED talk pointing out this somewhere.

At least Digidog is obvious. Now they’ll just covertly put this facial recognition tech on their vehicles, body cams, and bicycle helmets.
"Wikka Moonlight" seems to be the name of the audio the copyright claim is originating from rather than the organisation claiming the copyright. [1] The audio contains a recording of Moonlight Sonata with a load of added reverb. The uploading channel is "Alice Violet Molland - Topic".

The "Topic" bit generally gets added to a channel name when a music distributer (like DistroKid [2]) publishes music to youtube on behalf of a musician (in this case Alive Violet Molland), typically at the same time adding it to other streaming services.

Distrokid will let you publish an unlimited number of albums in this way for about $20 a year and then collects the revenue from any streaming on your behalf. I'm guessing the distributer may also register the audio with music rights organisations, which are presumably the source of the copyright claims.

The Wicca Moonlight video now has 4.4k downvotes.

Learning about the difference between a "groove", a "melody" and a song has been a wonderful rabbit hole to go down. Thanks!
It will make you a better person. There's nothing easy about it.

You'll have less time for selfish things.

Your self control will be challenged as you try to maintain composure in many challenging situations. Some that involve diaper blowouts at 3am, the night before a big presentation.

You'll be forced to adapt as your lifestyle changes. Old friends without kids will invite you out less. You'll find new friends with kids. The practicality of things like minivans will become alluring.

You'll become more persuasive. If you can convince a 3 year old to eat broccoli, you can sell ice to eskimos.

> Each ticket is one commit. If you revert one commit, you are guaranteed to have a working piece of software and you won't have a potentially not even compiling intermediate commit that was subsequently fixed up during a PR, which can happen without squashing.

This is the key point and I liked it so much that I bookmarked it. Hope you don’t mind. :)

I frequently have to debate with my teammates on the value of squash merging into our mainline branches. Another value add that squash merge brings is that it enables what I call “accidental documentation”. You get a easy to parse log of work that was done and a link right to the PR with a description and any discussion around it. As a lead I frequently need to coordinate teammates and communicate technical decisions. It’s invaluable to be able to just pull up the commit log and go right to the work in question without having to wade through a bunch of noise.

It also helps a ton with writing release notes.
It's not going to be much use in distilled water, so it pretty much exclusively works in water with dissolved salts.
Burnout and stress related disorders are very real, but trying to explain them away as purely physical illnesses isn’t accurate, nor does it help with finding a resolution.

> It is a physical thing. I’m not sure it’s caused by burning out all the glucose or whatever (as that is short term addressable). Dopamine, that’s possible.

No, you don’t simply run out of dopamine, nor can you use it up by thinking too hard. The body is extremely good at keeping the brain fed and stocked with neurotransmitters, even between meals.

This pop-science concept of running out of dopamine isn’t real.

The real problem here is that mental illness still carries too much stigma. Some people are so resistant to accepting a mental health diagnosis and treatment that they will go to great lengths to reframe their problems in physical terms, thereby dodging what they feel (incorrectly) would be an admission of mental weakness.

Even this Tweet author’s doctor diagnosed him with a mental illness, and he even cites the diagnosis from the DSM. However, for some reason he still tries to reframe it as what he calls a “physical” thing.
Because their function can't be automated. Thinking that basic management is the role of a CEO is a mistake, the CEO uses automated software for that and delegates most of the work. It's primarily a social role of representation and leadership - sleeping on the factory floor during production hell.
TED started giving nearly anyone a platform, which changed it from a curated set of higher-quality presentations into something more like YouTube. There are a ton of TED presentations full of debunked science. The entire vibe of TED talks seems a bit self-congratulatory and without substance, IMO. There's also TEDx, which has the same problems but worse.

There are still good TED talks, but you have to sort through TED the same way you sort through YouTube... and at that point, YouTube starts looking a lot better.
I feel like you’re either missing critical information about how companies can make that impossible, or you know and you’re “doing a bit”.

$0.035 to clean 10 liters of water is very good. $35/kilo doesn't seem unreasonable given that chlorine itself is $16-$22 a kilo through consumer stores.

Given that these are pretty gnarly chemicals in bulk, I don't think you want users handling them. Training users on PPE and procedure and supplying the PPE is a whole mess.

I have no idea where you got $3 from.
You admittedly made me change my mind a bit about Vala.

I think I’m making likely assumptions. Obviously, individual experiences will vary, but when trying to estimate and model cost of living, assuming that everyone was sexually assaulted or traumatized so badly that they can never live with another is not useful. It also denigrates sexual assault victims by assuming that they are alone, without family, friendless, or without a spouse. It is possible for one to recover from sexual assault and find non-assaulter roommates and this is extremely common. Both based on personal experience and housing data (extrapolating from percent of population sexually assaulted with percent of population living in households with greater than two adults).

I’m talking about my lived experience here and find it odd how you’re finding rare, negative edge cases that don’t disprove my point.

I’m not saying that every single person can get internet for less than $100. I’m saying it’s unreasonable to assume $100 for budgeting purposes. In the rare situation where the only option for internet is $100 and one must have internet the systemic solution isn’t to pay the person an extra $100, the solution is to reduce the cost of internet. Rewarding the exploitative company charging $100/month only makes things worse within the system.

Similarly with phones. $100/month or $1200/year is a poor assumption for someone who needs their salary to go towards more important things. In 2019 I bought a new iPhone6 from Walmart for $100 with a no contract prepaid mobile plan for $20/month. Annualized costs of only $340. I cracked and scratched the screen but if I had had to replace it I would have spent an additional $100.

For “normal” society and to understand people’s experiences I think it’s valuable to model what is typical and then use that as a baseline to plan protection for edge cases. In my head I’m thinking “What should we plan to fix this?” Planning and modeling with assumptions that edge cases are most common means that our mean values will be way off and we’ll have wasted resources.

I’ve seen too many families that waste $180 on phone plans every month because they don’t know there’s a better way, corporations market expensive plans more heavily, and conventional wisdom reinforces that this is routine and acceptable.

If I’m only netting $2k/month and I’m spending $100/month on a phone, that is a problem with me that I can easily fix. If society is trying to get me to buy a new phone every year and have an expensive plan, that’s hard to struggle against and overcome. The solution isn’t to reinforce bad decisions, but to help.

I don’t know the exact number, but came across a wild thought experiment a while ago that drove it home. Look at a big tree. There’s 3 things that could have gone into making it: water, air, and earth. If you look at the ground around it, there’s no hole where the tree grew. Sure, there’s the root system, but there’s nowhere near enough dirt missing to have made both the root system and the 50’ above-ground portion of the tree. That only leaves air and water.

This is going to make house prices shoot even higher. They tax stock sales but not real estate.

Real estate has another loop where the first 250k gain (not sure exact number) from sell of private residence isn’t taxed.

So people have one house for husband, one for their wife. When you own a house and live it in for more than an year, that can be marked as primary residence.

Also mortgage interest is deductible.

In so many ways housing comes out as a good investment due to tax savings. Since it’s supply is limited, it becomes a frenzy driving sky high prices.

If we want to fix housing costs in Washington, we ought to address the tax incentives. Housing should be seen as a place to live, not an asset to hold.

I can’t even imagine how youngsters nowadays can even afford a single family home. A decent 3-4 bedroom is now 1M+, it’s kind of crazy.

...and now you are talking about "ranges".

Datacenters and ISPs for commercial use can provide very detailed SLAs.

Consumer ISPs refuse to publish metrics or have 3rd party services monitor them to create accountability.

They refuse to provide the most basic SLAs and refuse to adopt any user-friendly quality rating.

You're correct. Routine EEG (~30 minutes) can capture active seizures and sometimes patterns that might lead you to think someone is predisposed for a seizure. Often patients need long-term monitoring ("LTM") where they are connected to an EEG for several days to tease out the source of their problems.

And it's a real life practical issue for me that there be no wiggle room or ambiguity, ever, in any context, about whether it's OK to kill me. Even if the doctor on the scene doesn't know me personally and I'm not capable of making my arguments to him and defend my self from his, say, religious belief that I'll be in a better place or have outlived his concept of usefulness or worth.

It makes sense to me that this is not something that can be done conveniently. It makes sense to me for the system to be rigged such that errors always result in "did not kill when should have" rather than "killed when should not have".
