Not saying fair skin people need a tan. I’m still fair skinned, even though I am outside often.

Nor am I calling for simply increasing exposure to sunlight.

All good things in moderation. There’s a balance to be found between adequate sun exposure and overexposure.

The best way is intermittent exposure. A little here and a little there. Hang out in the shade of trees in the heat of the day, out of direct light, but exposed to healthy amounts of ambient UV. Early and late hours of the day have lower UV levels as well. Just need to be more conscious about factors like that.

> Why is it important what kind of virtualization?

Because if I ran this, would have to manage it. Given that I have lots of virtualization to manage already, I would want it to use the same tooling for rather obvious reasons.

> is pretty much all everyone running their own hardware is looking for.

I don't think you talk to many people who do this, but as someone who manages 8 figures worth of hardware, I can tell you that is absolutely not true.

> The specs are damn good. When it is all top-of-the-line, inflexibility is kind of a mute point. Where else are you going to go?

To some hardware that actually fits my use case, that is managable in an existing environment? Oh wait - I already have that. I mean, seriously - do you think they're the only shop selling nice machines?

The value-add is all wrong, unless you are a greenfield deployment willing to bet it all on this particular single vendor, and your needs match their offering.

Hello! I've been working on a signin service designed for minimal coding on your end! It works as a middleman between you, Google and Spotify (More will come!)
The code is open-source at https://assertapp.net/git, and it was written in Flask! Let me know what you think!
Can't help on the lid closure, but apparently there's some screensaver setting that tells the system to keep working in the background even when the lockscreen appears after screensaver activation.
"But I'm not sure how many people asked for Apple-style hardware in the DC."

It's probably selling to the "Amazon-style hardware in your DC market", which I think should be fairly ripe. Building your own private cloud from parts defeats a lot of the purpose...avoiding your own plumbing.
I will say I was very pleasantly surprised to see only a single domain in NoScript's list of domains. That is extraordinarily rare, even when on sites that are ostensibly pro-privacy. So thank you for not stuffing your site with tracking and analytics.

The feature where clicking a user's name immediately gives you their RSS feed is a super cool idea. I'd make that a little more obvious by adding hover text saying that's what it is, so you don't need to look at the URL/click it to figure it out.

> This would be the opposite of what the founding fathers wanted for Europe when they signed the Convention in 1950

It is weird to hear this as an American. We frequently discuss "what the founding fathers wanted" but those founding fathers aren't alive anymore and we can't ask their friends or children for more clarity. But this was only 70 years ago.
Considering GH is MS-owned, i'm even more reluctant to use it.

Anything that leaves your computer and enters hardware owned by MS should make you think twice about using a certain service/product.

Same goes for almost every other company out there.Also FOMO is not an argument, there are plenty of alternatives for almost everything out there.If it's comfort people are worried about then they should stick to iPads and ditch software-dev, because trends like these are why the quality of software has been declining drastically in the last decade.

These streamlined processes of using telemetry for the "product's good" are just a way to compensate that.
BTW, does anybody know if that's safe? The numbers I remember are an order lower (24V, and less than 500mA).

From what I understand, the cable has to advertise the supported power output, it’s not like a raw power outlet that will start a fire if you use a random thin cable. A 5W USB cable will probably never receive 240W, even by mistake.

The reason for the twelves is that the numbers were incorrectly translated from cuneiform into Hebrew. Sumerians used 12 and 60 (5x12) in their numbering systems, thus modern clocks have 24 hours and 60 minutes, and circles have 360 degrees. If you translate the numbers back into cuneiform and then correctly translate them again, the ages are all similar to the ages people live today.

Cyanide occurs naturally in apple cores. It is the dose that makes the poison.

The UK links I have cited say the low levels are not an issue. I've genuinely asked what evidence the US courts are using and I appear to have come up against group think. I did not expect this on HN.

I'd genuinely appreciate it if somebody can provide evidence citing the risk is other than negligible.
Author here. The Apple and Microsoft linkers make that difficult. The GNU and LLVM compilers usually choose to conform to those difficult conventions when compiled for those platforms. You can help us fix that, because we're working on chibicc, which is like TCC but 10x better. https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/blob/master/third_party... It's not there yet. It can be built as an actually portable executable. I already wrote an assembler for it. Soon we'll have a C linker for it too, and thus a whole toolchain in one file. The tradeoff is it doesn't optimize. But it supports C11 and most GNU extensions. So when we're OK having velocity in development anywhere with code that only goes half as fast, but compiles 5x as fast, this will be the way to go.
Evidence-Based Strategies to Lower Your Risk of Becoming a Ransomware Victim
Shh... it is not in good tone to directly demask shortcomings of general HN audience. Everybody here is an expert in every topic discussed and if you got downvotes it means you have deserved it.

I personally own an electronics lab but whaddaiknow.

On more serious note, the USB-C just barely has dimensions to deal with 5A 50V. You need thick enough cables and traces, you need clearences and you need margins.

If you look at breakdown voltage for USB C connector, it is not a lot above 50V. Usually, you would want many times your working voltage. It just begs for a tiny speck of dust or condensation, manufacturing fault, bent connector, etc. to cause bad day for the owner.

Now, in a properly designed device, it technically should immediately detect the situation and cut the power. But there are two catches. One, is that at that power the short might be just about right resistance for this safety to treat is as valid. Second, this assumes properly designed device. If you cheap out on silicon you use for your charger it might just not have the capability to stop it before it gets to far and melts a bunch of stuff.
I asked for counter-proof of my dismissal and reasoning, and all you offer up is copy pasted points that aren't applicable.

Yes my dismissal was shallow, as was the article in question. Here's a more verbose version that should satisfy you?

The article speaks of using SQLite in production but only mentions the existence of WAL-mode and suggests its use. That is general (not production specific) advice that is well known in the community. While the promotion of SQLite is a good thing, I found this article wanting in delivering on what the title suggested.
"Windows Terminal" is the name of the application.
That seems like it could be interesting. It sounds like you would need to have part of a library store and diff the tree state, and then send updates based on that? You could use that part for immediate mode GUIs, and then retained mode GUIs could skip it and maintain their own trees, and just deal with the protocol, maybe even the raw protobuf bindings or whatever it is you choose.

The Linux desktop environments could really use more people working on the accessibility stack, it's really outdated at the moment.
There is no other credible alternative to betting on lua.

vim script is too limited and there are no other options, really.

Nice. Reminds me of fonts that used to be available in the X Window System.
Hearing an S-Tier hacker call a fellow S-Tier hacker B-Tier is certainly entertaining, but from my lowly perspective they're still far more capable than 99% of devs I'll ever encounter.
IRC networks are a closed federation. The servers have to trust each other and all servers of a network are usually administered by the same staff. Matrix is an open federation like email. The servers just speak the same protocol to each other and messages flow even if the server admins never have any interaction.
This looks great. Really well thought out, beautifully designed and presented.
One of the problems with data science is how black box it is compared to other corporate/software development functions:

For many roles and positions in a company, high and low, you can tell whether the person is doing a good (or at least competent) job. A sales rep can show leads he/she has followed up or converted, and $ made. A coder can point to functionality created and lines written. A CFO can point to deals done, documents prepared, etc.etc.

With data science, sometimes you just have absolutely no idea whether the person is good or not.

"This problem can't be solved". You just don't know whether it's true or not.

"These are amazing insights". Do they have any practical value that can turn into $?

Data science is from some perspectives the most black box part of a modern organization. And so much hype is put into it, so many people paid sky-high salaries in the belief that it is producing something.

Is it usually? Not sure.
All modern editors (except Atom) do a substandard job of actually BEING Vim. And frankly, I don't believe being Vim should be a goal of other editors.

As someone who has to use IntelliJ when doing Kotlin/Java, I miss all the wonderful things that my Vim can do. Sure IntelliJ even lets me load my init.vim for maximum compatibility... and it's simply not that great.

Lastly, almost all modern editors suck down a ton of memory... whether it's Electron or JVM based. Sublime is an exception here.

> Inflation is so low right now because the Fed is artificially forcing low interest rates. Dollars in circulation has little impact on it.

Inflation in the short term has more to do with elasticity of supply than demand (unless demand spikes hugely). Low interest rates don't have much to do with it (low rates are usually a tool to stimulate demand, but they only work when you don't have a pre-existing debt bubble that must be deleveraged).
I think the comment was alluding to 'sterilizing immunity', rather than the aseptic nature of the vaccines themselves.
Few companies buy on pure performance. Right now, AMD has the performance kings and the price/performance kings.

Intel could win price/performance, but they would need to cannibalize their own low-end and mid-range market. If they could make a good bet that they would have high yield in one more cycle, that would make sense. If they don't think that will happen, there's nothing much that will save them, and they're extracting the money that they can right now.
I get the target of HyperConverged infrastructure. It's a pretty big market: potentially all private/colo datacenters. And there are only a few players left. Dell/EMC/VMWare, Nutanix, Cisco's schizophrenic offerings, a waning HP, cloud providers trying to make a 'hybrid' play, etc. And most don't buy one or two of these things. It's rows and rows.

But most of those are so entrenched and wrapped up in their customers. I imagine the target here is actually acquisition, it would just be too hard to get a foothold as an up-and-comer.

Also it usually means giving loaner gear to companies for an extended period for them to evaluate pre-purchase, showing your support, etc. That's a lot of up-front cost for someone without a warchest.

I'm also kind of surprised by the site. It sells to geeks well, but isn't the normal "look at our customers in key industry segments!", "something something Gartner magic quadrant", "whitepapers!" thing. Selling to execs on these things is usually a matter of convincing them they're not making a "bad" decision. They're "cool", but enough industry people agree with them that it's not career limiting if it doesn't pan out.

I like the idea of the product, and it would be nice to have another player. But it's like starting a new car company, and I feel like they're selling to mechanics.
What a lovely site :)

I imagine if their engineers were any good the mph number would collect data on the user's past trips and make increasingly better estimates in the future about the translation between kWh and miles for the specific user.

Obviously a user in Kansas would get more miles per kWh than a user in the Swiss Alps but the vehicle has data on where all the user has driven and how many kWh were used at every instant since it was purchased.
Great ideas. Sadly not the direction being taken by the EU.

Hypothetically if some whale wanted to 'buy' Doge say to shut it down or something, they would probably have to spend a lot more than the market cap and as you yourself point out they still wouldn't have bought all the Doge that existed. OP was comparing amounts i.e $8bn seems like peanuts when 'joke' coins are hypothetically worth more than $44bn, and not really comparing market caps (which doesn't really make sense, again as you yourself pointed out).
On the other hand, they need to protect themselves from threats to their cash cow. Hardware and operating systems play a part in that, which is why Google needs Android to ensure access to mobile eyeballs.

Valve created Steam Machines as a hedge against the Windows Store becoming like the App Store (walled garden) but neither took off. Whether VR will become a major part of gaming is yet to be seen, although Facebook has invested heavily in their Oculus Quest ecosystem which does not require Steam or Windows.

Mice in or around my house has no relation to "the bane of humanity since the dawn of agriculture", I live pretty far from any farm, and the most they ate from me is crumbs on the floor. Wanting to kill them is fine, and I understand totally. Letting your cat kill them if he catches them before you, totally fine for me too. He hunted her, it's his prey, why not? On the other hand, giving mice that you caught to your cat so he can torture them is not in the same in my book.

I still don't really understand the difference, is it not possible to host a service on your planet, and then have people make accounts on it and log into it with some other means? If so, that would seem to make it identical to mastodon, or any other internet service really. There doesn't seem to be any reason you can't bridge it with random HTTP services. I mean, in theory you could even run a mastodon-like service inside a planet?
You go for a looks-like prototype when you have a team and want to inspire them to move forward, when you want to impress investors or when you are planning a Kickstarter or similar. You go for a works-like prototype when you're experimenting with concepts or want to try out something new. You're completely correct in your assessment.
Deflation benefits those with savings and fixed-income and inflation benefits those with a large amount of loans - as well as making government debt easier to repay (at the expense of those with savings, treasury bonds and holders of government debt).

If you have deflation together with a large debt bubble (like we have now), many people & companies will have to default. Not saying it's good or bad, but politically that kind of pain is intolerable (the politicians who support it would get voted out)

So instead of commercial software you meant internal command line scripts and instead of running on you meant serving up web pages and instead of on linux, you meant using linux and open source web servers and instead of most commercial software you meant a single company that makes money and instead of numbers you meant guesses.

That is speaking as someone who wants AMD to grab more market shares ( and has been stating the same for nearly three years and constantly being told off by all AMD fans they are doing fine )
They want 240W. 5A times 50V is 250W. It means that you can't have both voltage and current lower, you can only lower one by increasing the other. But both higher voltage and higher current are a problem.

More voltage will require larger clearances and better safeties (like thicker isolation on cables).

"In industry, 30 volts is generally considered to be a conservative threshold value for dangerous voltage. The cautious person should regard any voltage above 30 volts as threatening, not relying on normal body resistance for protection against shock." https://iastate.pressbooks.pub/electriccircuits/chapter/chap....

Now, if the voltage is dangerous, it stops just being problem for the device but becomes safety hazard with all implications.

On the other hand increasing current is not without problems. It quickly requires thicker cables and traces for which space is just not available in tiny USB C connector. If conductor is not thick enough the result is heating and possible melting, degrading the material over time which could lead to shorts.
