Yes, race is a social construct (and whiteness is extremely arbitrary). But that doesn't mean it does not have real life consequences. The US is far far away from the legacy of segregation being washed away. From school district funding and presence of lead piping to studies where competency of equally qualified CVs is rated differently based on race, we still have more barriers for some.
Is it possible that the causality is reversed? Maybe you start thinking because your subconscious brain doesn’t know what to do next.
My first official PH maker project
Hey hackers,

I've spent the last few months (only few hours here and there) working on a solution for a problem I had.

I created this project because I was often distracted by the fact that I was having a second screen, and as I was getting tired of having to turn it on & off, I decided to build something similar to Brain.fm but without the audio (for now) to keep myself focused.

Here's the link to the Product Hunt page: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/cofy (I've added the clickable in the comment below)

I'd love to have your feedback and potentially improve the project see where it goes.

Thanks!

It just groups people by similar experience instead of just content. People go to Twitch for personalities, not games, so this makes more sense to me.
Just chiming in with basically the same experience: never had anything I could tell was fake, everything was pretty much what I expected for the price, and Amazon search is a complete and utter shitshow of uselessness.

For computer equipment, I shop NewEgg because their search rules. I wish there was a NewEgg for other stuff. I'm more than happy to pay more and wait a few days extra to have a search that doesn't suck.

Well of course, but we all know Facebook isn't a responsible company and Apple shouldn't assume that every app in its store is made by a responsible company.
If that were so then putting someone else off their game by drawing their attention to a particular aspect of their game and making them self conscious would be less effective.

That's impossible, to only buy genuine stuff there. Thanks to inventory mingling you get the fake products even for legitimate listings of genuine products.

Germany has so many other good online shops that it's for most products really easy to cut Amazon out and avoid that problem.
This is important, and it's probably the main reason I like using them so much. But then surely the comeback is that what I'm then attempting to do is produce a diagram in code, when I could just write the diagram on paper, check it, then write some (possibly simpler) code. Not in all cases, naturally, but often?
Not the parent, but no. Once you’re playing music from memory, your brain already knows the notes/fingering/etc. It’s that when you start thinking, you get out of the “flow”. Too much thinking will pull you right out and then you need to work to get back in it.

In early 2000s in Poland, we had a Trabant combi in our family, from the last 1990-91 batch (with a 4-stroke VW Polo 1.1L engine). Apart from funny look, I remember it as a much better and more solid car than other cars available at that price range at the time! Plus, few of cheap cars back then had a spacious combi version. (Other, much popular low-end cars back then being trunk-less Fiat 126p, and Fiat Cinquecento/Seicento)

Oh, sorry, I meant "unannounced military drills occasionally violating Soviet airspace and waters".

I'm not sure what the fact that the DDR was an authoritarian police state that routinely incarcerated and tortured citizens accused of collaboration, shot anyone trying to illegally cross the border into the West, and employed ordinary citizens to keep taps on each other under constant paranoia of collaboration has to do with this, though. There's a reason I put "collaborators" in scare quotes. These things are well-known, even outside Germany.

I didn't say the DDR was good. I said it faced extreme resource constraints and that it was under constant pressure from Moscow, while also trying to provide commodity goods to every citizen. "Stupid communists built bad cars" isn't a very interesting or informed take, though.
You can deploy the project you just finished to AWS/Google Cloud. That can involve learning Terraform/Pulumi, Ansible, AWS specific technology, setting up CI/CD. Maybe you can write a tool that hammers your API and see how you can scale Postgres (load balancing, replication, sharding, partitioning etc).
Where does your "50%" number come from? If the number was 50%, then the number of underpaid women would be the same as men, which invalidates the entire headline.
In every order I've ever placed there has been an estimated delivery date and, in my experience, they're accurate. How does your experience differ? Is the date missing? Does it change after checkout?
Show HN: Writing a property-based testing library from scratch
Great read, thanks a lot for sharing your process and providing diy instructions. Can't wait to see the PCB and case :)

I am on a similar journey and wanted to ask whether you had considered/tested the bme680 instead of the SHT31 + SGP30?
Hello HN!

This is a screencast series I'm currently in the process of recording.

The goal is to illuminate how PBT libraries are written, and to share the idea of integrated shrinking (which is not as well known as perhaps it would deserve to be).

It builds on ideas from David R MacIver's Hypothesis library, or more specifically from Minithesis which shows off the core idea, without all the bells and whistles that a production-ready library needs to add.

The language I'm writing this in is Elm -- forcing the algorithm to be pure, without mutation or other side effects (which are present in the Hypothesis / Minithesis libraries). So, rewriting the idea from Python to Elm was a bit tricky, but rewriting it from Elm to anything else should be much easier.

I'm also coming to grips with DaVinci Resolve during this project, so while the production quality might not be awesome in the first two videos currently released, I want to improve that over time. (Add title music, perhaps invest in a small recording isolation shield to get rid of the echo, etc.)

I'll be very glad for any feedback!
As you briefly hinted - this primarily because of shipping logistics. Flipkart and Amazon are successful because of solving for that.

For eBay kind of model where the seller has to pack and ship items themselves, it would be a nightmare. The govt postal service is highly inefficient and the private players are not organized for door to door logistics.

Try shipping few metal parts weighing 1Kg+ yourself to any random address to understand perhaps that is the most difficult part of the problem.

Even if we ignore the high shipping charges for relatively low value products, scammers, fraudulent sellers, the returns if receiver not available etc.

My large, extended family and many of my friends are all on Facebook, keeping update to date during COVID. Sharing baby photos and other life events, starting businesses as they lose their jobs, sharing grief and support as my uncle nears his end.

But sure, let's continue to victim shame and blame here.
This kind of experiments always make me think why we experience consciousness, and where is the evolutionary advantage of having it at all.
There's definitely a bit of a pattern to this in music as with nearly everything.

Players within the established tradition "take it seriously" which is on one hand respect for tradition and on the other impedes full integration of new techniques and sounds.

Newer less established genres are more playful/experimental, and what works for them can eventually get accepted by the older forms and rolled in.

I kinda mentioned this in another comment in here but it's very visible in the relationships between jazz and hip hop right now. Contemporary jazz uses a lot of techniques and sound profiles that were developed in trap music of all things.
I've built a proof-of-concept Unity lockstep once: https://github.com/golergka/KingOfCastles

But in real game development, there's too few situations where lockstep fits, as it makes the game pretty slow to react to player's actions. And rollback brings so much complexity to the whole game that it significantly impacts development costs.
I feel great about them because the reality is the choice between funding these holding camps or doing nothing at all like most countries.

I'm not sure how this changes anything. Is your PII in the order forms/sales contracts mentioned above? If yes, you'll have to delete those as well anyway, right? If it's not, the order forms/sales contracts themselves don't have to be linked to something that may potentially get deleted.

Please note that by "immutable" I don't mean that data won't get deleted eventually, just that it won't be deleted until nothing needs it anymore (and until then won't be mutated either), so basically the same thing that languages like Haskell mean by "immutable". Then, once you don't need it (= it's not observable anymore), it could perhaps get archived or erased, whatever you prefer.
> (Mind you, 95% of the time, when people say they could get more, they don’t actually have another offer in hand, they just posit the existence of it based off of what they’ve heard.)

If they keep doing that, they'll only hurt themselves.

> But I’d prefer engineers simply reject the offer as opposed to insinuating they’re somehow being swindled.

How often do they "insinuate" that?

I'd chalk it up to bitterness: "Blind told me to expect a $200k offers, 10 of the best students in my graduation year got such offers, and I'm just as good as they are, why do I keep getting these lowball offers, the world is so unfair, these companies are so unfair trying to exploit me!"

> It’s rich to discuss market economics, because there’s probably fewer than 100 companies, all located in the bay or NYC, and all rather prestigious, that pay the mad money being discussed.

Nah, FAANG pays about the same in Seattle as they do in the Bay/NYC, and only slightly less in satellite offices.

> Pretty frequently, it is “snooty young devs scoffing”, especially when they have zero other offers in hand, and no prospects of getting them.

If that's the case, then they're only hurting themselves and prolonging their search. Eventually they'll have to settle for one of these position they scoff at.

Most people are assuming the password was brute forced rather than it being a deauthentication attack. ISP provided routers (what the majority of people use) are so badly designed and left vulnerable it should be illegal. Heck some ISPs here still refuse to use IPv6.
The problem here is that there will always be someone who fills problems that aren't extremely specialized or hard to solve with a permissive license. If you use a less permissive license, you simply wouldn't see your code used.

There needs to be some way to balance these interests that do not end up with someone working their ass off for absolutely nothing. Particularly enterprise users of FOSS can afford to pay up. In my experience, developers in those companies want that to happen too, but it simply can't be justified to business.

This will keep going for a few years until every single person willing to put in the work is either burned out or has changed to a more copyleft license. We're starting to see that with less trivial projects already (Databases going BSL, Grafana Labs switching to AGPL)
i use jailbreak to control my location better - i can more easily de/activate it and spoof my location.

Now, I noticed a weird behaviour. I am not sure if its a 'bug' due to jailbreak, or if it shows how apps can access location.

The setup is as follows: location services are completely deactivated system-wide. a spoof location is set.

This means, I am not able in any way to access/share my location, neither the real nor the spoofed one.

However, when someone shares a location with me, upon displaying it on a map, instead of the location shared the spoofed one will be displayed along the correct address of the shared location.

ok, i dont know how iOS manages location services. still it is not nice at all to see that somehow an app can access a location, even if its spoofed and by error.

regarding the article: you can tell your phone not to give fb any location data. but why would you take a picture with location data and upload it to facebook? its so obvious and straight-forward that the user simply undermines his own privacy.
I'd say it is misleading rather than disappointing. The word is not capitalized in the Wikipedia article and titlecase is not a requirement here either.
I've done a few things with workers years ago - and I remember thinking "someone is going to make the socket.io of workers someday, because this is verbose!". I think this delivers!

I've had an idea for a fun little JS game for a while now - seeing this is going to give me an excuse to build it and try workers at the same time.

Thanks for sharing!
By "markets working as intended", I mean "if one provider of a service has a critical flaw that's specific to that provider, and that flaw is a dealbreaker for some customers, then they ought to be able to vote with their wallets to switch to otherwise equivalent providers that don't have that flaw.

But I see your point that the markets are working logically from the perspective of there being insufficient incentive for companies (well, Zoom at least) to invest in dealing with this issue. Negative press only goes so far, and it doesn't matter much when it's the dominant player in the market by far (in part due to design choices that facilitated these flaws -- minimized friction in the interest of accessibility also minimizes friction for malicious action).
There are quite a few ways of approaching D - at it's core it's basically designed to have many obvious features that make life easier, rather than being the XYZ language.

The underlying ethos is really doing obvious things and making the compiler do the work for you - you can generate huge amounts of fast code at compile time. For example, unittests are a first class keyword in D, which makes writing tests easy, therefore people actually write tests. This feature is maybe a 100 line diff to most compilers, and yet basically only D exploits that fact. Similarly with compile time reflection.

You'll have to make your mind up for yourself, but D is proof that the supposed tradeoff between expressiveness and speed is the result of nothing but stockholm syndrome.

You can simultaneously have a labor job and trade equities.
The typical procedure was to order one "just in case", because even if you don't need it for yourself you can still sell it "used" for a nice profit. My father for instance "traded" his new Trabant for a used Volga M21, which was a much bigger but also older Soviet car (and later sold this Volga to a Russian soldier returning back to the motherland, and "upgraded" to a used Shiguli, aka Lada 1500 - which was a really fine car considering the "competition" :)
Another helpful technique for stimulating genetic changes is colchicine, which induces polyploidy.
That's a really use case for DynamoDB Streams! Shameless plug: if you'd like to implement this pattern with other databases such as Postgres or MySQL, take a look at Debezium (debezium.io), which provides open-source change data capture support for a range of databases. Mostly, this is used with Apache Kafka, but you also can run Debezium embedded into your JVM application. Probably should do a blog post too showing how to integrate that with AWS Lambda :)

Disclaimer: I work on Debezium
> there has been an estimated delivery date

I didn't even know there is an estimation. I just assume it will ship within 7 days. The vast bulk of my orders all arrived in 7 days (sometimes even shorter). But I got caught out with some orders where it shipped all the way from China, and I only learned about that after buying them (by visiting the 'track package' page).
Unfortunately I can't comment below this point, in the thread I started.

You're making the point I'm making. While I don't (to the best of my knowledge) purchase counterfeit items, I don't pretend that certification is anything other than certification. Hopefully certification comes with standards, and aren't self-reporting... but that's not always the case.

I'd say so since 8.156 in the 17th edition explicitly mentions websites: "The following guide­lines apply primarily to titles as they are mentioned or cited in text or notes. They apply to titles of books, journals, newspapers, and websites . . ." And 8.191 elaborates further: " Titles of websites mentioned or cited in text or notes are normally set in roman, headline-style . . ." Basically, there are some differences regarding italics/quotation marks but headline style seems to apply to all kinds of titles of digital resources.
Maybe it’s just me but .de also feels like bigger brands are abandoning Amazon. This is also why all the junk is placed even more prominent.

With vomiting, you can administer a spoonful of sugar water or salt water every 2-3 minutes, no more. You must do this for at least an hour.

It works because the fluid is absorbed through your mouth, throat, and esophagus before it reaches the stomach- and in many cases once you are rehydrated the vomiting improves.

I also had doubts but there are statistics (arguably not representative) that seem to confirm this: https://pkgstats.archlinux.de/fun (See GPU drivers and add(might not be the best idea, I know) the nvidia numbers...)

How likely is a random mutation in a plant to be dangerous to the eater? E.g. a protein sequence changed such that a toxic molecule is produced. If subtle or slow acting that could pass a lot of expensive testing and make it to market. But is it risky enough to worry about?

Sure it could occur with natural mutations too but at a much lower rate.
I'm curious if you're seeing a different page than I am... perhaps you order on mobile a lot or something? It is very prominent:
