Purely US hire? Any expansion to the EAME region planned?
It’s popular with UK emergency services, and is starting to catch on slowly with the general public over here. In an emergency situation, when every second counts, 3 words are much easier to convey than 15 numbers.

Besides this, I have no idea what else it’s good for. It’s an odd business model, and I’m surprised it’s got this far.
Bingo. Quantity is worthless without sufficient quality. I would rather be healthy and strong and die at 80 than sickly and bedridden for the remaining decades and die at 120.
> healthy food as on something feminine and weak.

Did they? It is also only within the last 100 years that we really had any _choice_ at all of what to eat. Before transportation revolutions, food was what was grown or slaughtered locally.

> drove more dangerously

Again, did they? Cars we more dangerous, no question there. But they were also made of steel that had no crumple ability, with terrible suspension and steering that was more akin to a boat than a modern, nimble car.

> drunk more

I don't know on this one. I think binge drinking is more prevalent now, as opposed to good ol' functioning alcoholism of days gone by. I am not sure which is more "dangerous". I think binge is more near-term dangerous while long-term abuse is more long-term dangerous (liver disease etc)

I wish I could remember the book or author, but I remember reading a scifi story some years ago in which a main part of the world was indefinitely extended lifespans and health-spans.

A couple of items that shifted the readers' perspective were the 28 year old character who misstated her age as 104 to make herself seem more interesting, and that many people in the 400-500 year-old range picked up high risk sports as out of growing boredom with multiple careers and pursuits...

(if anyone recognizes and remembers the story, it'd be great to know what it is!)
> easily traceable back to russia

Maybe "associated with Russia in popular media" - which is a bit of a tautology - But the structures of these are public, they're simple chemistry, and even if it's an "undocumented" one you really have to work to make organophosphates that aren't deadly at low concentrations. Basically any country with a minimal chemical industry could synthesize it - Even a contract manufacturer told it's a "deadly research pesticide which you shouldn't touch"

I'm neutral on SQL but very big on the right tool for the job. My rule of thumb is, if i'm querying data just to massage it and then stuff it back into the database then I first try to do that as a stored procedure. I remember learning about windowing in SQL late into a project and after redoing some python functions as stored procedures really improving performance.
Requests could use the If-Unmodified-Since header to guard against DB changes without the overhead of a separate HEAD request.

If the underlying DB has been changed then the server should respond with 412 Precondition Failed.

> The point was about doing more work using the SQL DB engine

The specific reference was to “psql script”, which runs in the psql client program, not the DB engine. Since I suspected that might be an error intending to reference SQL running on the server, I separately addressed, in my initial response, both what was literally said (psql script) and sql running in the DB.

AFAIK, only the second option. Depending on your workflow, I see two 'solutions'.

1 - If you are on mobile app, subscribe to the channel on youtube. Them every few days, check your subscriptions on YT and add them on your RSS reader, while unsubscribing from YT.

2 - On desktop, many RSS readers have extensions to follow the current page, so you could use an extension to subscribe. Some mobile apps might let you share a link to it, and them subscribe there.

The inconvenient thing about that is, it could be more cumbersome if for example, you sit on your couch and want to just cast some video to the TV. On a RSS reader you might need to click the link, which will open on YT app, and then cast.

> For representative democracy though I think we can experiment with assigning voting weights to age ranges, in a way that allows fresh ideas to exist

The problem here is that you would be brushing off the concerns of an older group by simply asserting that "they're old and holding us back" without considering that perhaps someone who had been around for 500 years might have far more insight and quite literally had already lived through whatever political experiment some twenty-somethings want to vote for. Not criticizing you specifically but I've seen this mentality before w.r.t. old people and voting.

Thank you for this view. I think maybe I see value that you don't, yet.

Bgem allows to organize code as a directory tree. This enables some interesting properties that -- from my point of view -- make it easier to develop and maintain.

The first one being that it makes Ruby a partially homoiconic language. The constant tree is now available as a directory tree, and it is possible to manipulate it both with Ruby and standard POSIX tools.

I agree that "with less ends" does a poor job in explaining all this. I will think about ways to convey the benefits better. Thanks.

> You do know that networking existed before containers right?

I do, but the point of my question was that kubernetes solves networking, and load balancing, and upgrading, and many other issues.

> It's my belief though that many of those developers who want Kubernetes actually want kubectl,

You're not wrong - kubectl is half the reason I use kubernetes. Solving the problems it does is reason enough to use it.
That is, given a shared library or a position independent
executable (PIE), it returns a single, self-contained file
packing all dependencies.
[...]
but closures do allow for deploying to other machines without
concerns about missing dependencies.

So. It's a statically linked binary, but worse? Or like a PAR file, but for C? I'm really not sure what the benefits are here over statically linked binaries.

In fact, since it extracts to a directory in /tmp, it seems to be worse in comparison -- since you have to take the increase in size into account.

I really do not see what the point of this is, or what niche it's supposed to fill over flatpaks or appimages (which both have sandboxing), or why you would pick this over static libraries -- can someone explain this?

I do not believe her age is correct; the Bible states that man's maximum lifespan is now 120:

If you do take this approach, writing your access token in plaintext into a well-known file in your home directory seems like a strictly worse idea than the (also more broadly-compatible) Git insteadof rule to pull via SSH and your local agent.
Thanks to you and GP for posting this stuff. That article was written about me, too. I can't count my hobbies on two hands, and I spend a lot of time on HN precisely because the topics are so varied, and I'm interested in most of them.

Like the author says, I have spent most of my life wishing I was a Diver. That I could focus and become great at one thing.
Of course. The kind I was describing is definitely a minority. I'm an older millennial, myself. I've been socially distancing since last February. But my fear and worries have been largely for my friends with chronic conditions, my older relatives, my community, and humanity in general. I haven't had much fear for my own personal health, and I do think that's a reasonable feeling given the odds for me. But it is jarring when contrasted with people in the same situation who are terribly worried.
USPS post quarterly delivery statistics.

Look under Mailing Services Measurement Results: https://about.usps.com/what/performance/service-performance/

Not until the human genome gets some redesign work. That's going to be a really long debug cycle. There's no fundamental reason that some of the timeout aspects of aging can't be eliminated from the genome. But that is for new babies, not a retrofit for existing humans.
I don't have problems with phones but I have problems with computers - I was usually ended up with HN and YouTube when I tried to learning/writing/programming for side projects.

Then I recall I read from somewhere that Donald Knuth prefers pen and paper to computer. I tried it and it did work for me. I just turn off the computer and use pen and paper/book/printed stuff most of the time. When I have to use the computer I leave the network cable unplugged and finish it quick; When I have to use the internet, I write down what I going to do and do it then turn off the computer; I only check HN or YouTube on meal breaks or before sleep.

I found programming with pen and paper is surprisingly effective, and arguably makes the system better designed. Reading printed code and take notes in diagrams like half a century ago make me understand better (I don't actually print everything, just collect those parts I find important to an editor then print). Turn-on computer on demand feels like going back to the lab from the dorm when the idea struck. All are slower but make steady progress, and it's enjoyable. Much better than time wasted in vain.

As in hindsight, I don't think I'm addicted because I don't have withdrawal symptoms - I don't get uncomfortable when I'm not using a computer or the Internet. It's just those websites are good at grasping my attention. If that's your case, just turn it off or lock your phone away and only get it when you need your online bank. But if you do have withdrawal symptoms, you probably need to ask professionals to address them.
> badgering my kids to get stuff done so their room's clean / we aren't late / they don't look like we don't provide them real clothes / they don't entirely wreck the house / they don't get hurt

Any improvement to lifespan will necessarily improve healthy lifespan.

Get the current Finder selection:

tell application "Finder" to set the_selection to selection
set item_count to count the_selection
repeat with item_index from 1 to count the_selection
if item_index is less than item_count then set the_delimiter to "\n"
if item_index is item_count then set the_delimiter to ""
set output to output & ((item item_index of the_selection as alias)\'s POSIX path) & the_delimiter
end repeat'
Science Is About Explanations, Not Predictions
About once a month, I abstain from all electronics (phone, tv, computer, consoles) as well as food for an entire day. This helps me guage what my addiction levels are at, and although it's not typically a pleasant experience, I always feel significantly better the next day - everything just seems better and easier to deal with. For some reason it's easier to abstain completely for a day than it is to only partially limit myself.
I'll be that guy: this is smacks of old school gatekeeping and exclusivity. WizardChan to the core.

> That's the myth, but it's pretty far from the reality. Long before Google became such a dominant player, competing search engines had matched or exceeded its quality, compute cost, and ability to scale.

I disagree. Inktomi, Altavista, and AllTheWeb weren't even close in terms of search result revelance and the number of pages they indexed. Every time they attempted to close the gap, Google would just widen it with stuff like real time search, their revolutionary maps UI, and gmail.
