Building mountains of technical debt is precisely the behavior companies need to stop.

You can’t accuse someone of being idealistic and then turn around and say this.
I think from now on I'll just read all mouse studies as applicable to humans, but without scaling. That sounds like the appropriate amount of excitement to have.

This study suggest the mice lived an extra 1-2 years, if I consider 30% applied to a mouse lifespan. I'm looking forward to the extra 1-2 years this advancement brings me, eventually! :)

Edit: Also, get frequent checkups. We have tons of ways to cure mouse sized bits of cancer, so catch it while small!
The UUID RFC is from 2005, but they're also documented in the ISO/IEC 11578:1996 standard.

As I mentioned, a good type-1 implementation uses a counter to simulate a higher resolution system clock to get around the system clock resolution limiting scalability. Also, I'm guessing you're generating type-4 (random) UUIDs instead of type-1 (MAC address and timestamp), right?

My point is that if you're generating UUIDs rapidly, check that you're either generating type-4, or that you're using a high-quality type-1 implementation that simulates a higher resolution clock using a counter.
I get how one could pretty easily fall into a group of people who drink on a weekly (or more frequent) basis.

That being said, of people I'm close to, my parents are a good counter-example. They split one beer every month or so.
Ah yes. I suppose I don’t mind the length as it didn’t feel long to me.
"Finally, I hope that this paper may glorify God by showing – once again – the beauty of His

It was hard for me to get past that point.
Correct, the $6,000 you put into your IRA is funded with money that you pay ordinary income tax on.

You then do a IRA to Roth IRA conversion with your retirement plan provider (Vanguard, Fidelity, etc).

Then you file IRS form 8606 to report two things:

- Nondeductible contributions you made to traditional IRAs.

- Conversions from traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs.

This is not financial advice, hire your own fiduciary financial advisor
Slightly tangential, but I would be curious to hear examples of other pharmaceuticals that wouldn't be permitted today, and more broadly, how many "legacy" products wouldn't be approved?

And if we have information saying it's unsafe: why is it still on shelves? It seems approval should be mutable, not an immutable characteristic. Perhaps periodic re-approval should be mandatory, for example.
Why would anyone use the Governet, when the Internet is so much better?
That second example is particularly ugly. It assumes the input is UTC, then it quietly converts that Date to your local time zone.

Proper date input usually requires a widget.
Firstly, I'm clearly not talking about camping. I'm talking about parks in the suburbs and cities. Secondly, "having a wine with my wife" is treated very differently from "having some beers with my fellow twenty-somethings," without needing to bring in the extra baggage that would be included if those twenty-somethings happen to be black.

I'm sure I can drink a wine in the park with my wife too, now that I'm old. Doesn't make it OK the way the police treat the young and/or brown.

And no, for what it's worth, it's not as bad in the US as it is here, because Americans (generally) respect the freedoms of others much more than Australians do. Which is why in my experience the subsequent dickheaddery isn't as prevalent or extreme there either.
I briefly participated in an eBookz scene group at the turn of the century, although we didn't keep track of any word counts (nor did we OCR) and we focused on non-fiction, mainly automotive repair manuals. I doubt it's a statistic that the scanners (people/groups) pay attention to.
I shake my head every time people give away their time/work for free and then get surprised when people value their time/work at $0. Face palm. Times 10. The more you give away your time/work for free, the more you devaluate not only your own time/work but also the time/work of everybody else.
Ask HN: Does the South American cartels own a datacenter / ASN?
Single threaded performance is on par with AMD 5xxx series parts. Consider that Apple is using the 5nm process while AMD is using the 7nm process.

I'm not sure how it compares in terms of power efficiency though I'd expect the ARM chips to be more efficient both because of the transistor size and the ARM CPU not needing to support instructions from the 60s.

I'm very excited to see a new competitor in the CPU game and I'm a big fan of ARM, hopefully we will see further disruption but in the PC space.

Imagine a 128 core desktop CPU. It will be interesting to see how software has to evolve in order to maximise utilization of the quantity of threads.
I suppose one benefit to docker compose over a strictly systemd setup (even one that runs units in containers) is on the dev side. If your dev team is working on macOS or windows the docker compose tooling will let them spin up the whole system just like on the AWS instance.
A really old rate will be 4 years old when it dies. It would be mind blowing to see some procedure which would allow for a rat to live till 40 years. None, of the rats in this study really even passed 3.4 years. Also, they misquoted the nature article which states, between 15-27% increase that some how becomes 30% in this article.

I see this a a nice to know, but nothing revolutionary here. It's like diet and exercise will add 15-30% to your life, my grandfather smoked till 40, died at 65, my other grandfather quit at 30, now lives till 89 (still going strong, mowing his own lawn, cooking his own food, doing his daily stuff). Which is 30%+ longer.

I'm not holding my breath for these aging technology things. We already know how to add 30% to your life, they are through hard work and determination (not smoking, not drinking too much, not eating too much, being happy, social connections, and exercise). And, the other half is catching cancer and heart-disease early through a checkup at the doctor starting at age 40. Then you need to be not unlucky by having something rare.

I'm waiting for the 10x tech, then you have my attention.

Functioning roads and bridges that don't have cracked load-bearing beams are a bit higher priority than a BBS and digital yellow pages.
Sure, but there wouldn't be a "bad" network to connect to.

Two things that are surprising me in this thread: 1) "there are ways to work around this, so it's completely useless" (yes, that's... any security), and 2) either not a lot of people are paying attention to future-Internet development, as in actual, technical development and research, or they're not seeing what I'm seeing in them, somehow, as, for example:

At the risk of being slightly glib, it pales in comparison to the copy most startups put out.
The labor that the poors do will be automated away long before we have those drugs. I'd be more worried about the discontented Malthusian horde that awaits if we don't do something to provide for these these human beings and ensure they can live dignified lives as we erode their occupations away.

I had a ton, but I just discovered LuaJIT and its C FFI was a thing and now I'm going to be going down that rabbithole and rewriting a lot of code for projects I haven't even started.

I hate these threads, by the way. I always want to have something cool finished by the time one pops up. "Writing vector and animation modules for SDL's float API that will eventually appear in a roguelike, or shooter, I haven't decided which" doesn't have punch.

I'm also working on and off on a HN client for Godot. It basically works.

Also working on the Anarki forum very, very slowly.

Unfortunately I'm a magpie and I'm distracted by shiny new toys, which right now is the fact that I can write C in Lua much more easily than I could write Lua in C.

Thank God none of this my job...

Oh, and I started a blog with Lektor that still has nothing on it.
I am excited to try Helix. I was a vim user many years ago, but not a superuser. Neovim caught my eye for a while, but I felt like I should stay with vim or vi even to be able to jump on any system and work with modal editing tools. I loved emacs, but found myself playing with it more than using it as a text editor or simple IDE. This looks great for me, and fits in with my learning Rust too. Unfortunately the release build for Windows throws a panic, and so does a new build on my machine. I put in an issue on Github, because I wasn't competent enough in Rust or Helix to know what the issue was other than an array length violation or mismatch.

Intel has played dirty for years, both with AMD and its own customers for years. It's not about Apple.
At 16:17, the guest said that the jet stream is going faster because the temperature difference is getting larger between the arctic and the Atlantic Ocean. I was surprised by that because I’ve seen other sources [1], which say that the arctic is getting much warmer, much faster than the rest of the world. I’m wondering if the research is not in agreement or if the Atlantic is getting even warmer faster.

If there's any sort of bright side to this, it's that no one is going to tolerate continued attacks of this type much longer.

It's clear that they're no longer a minor threat and that the vague boogeyman of countless techno-thrillers over the last few decades where hackers bring down massive pieces of infrastructure is no longer fiction, it's here.

What's more, these cannot be considered simple criminal acts: If these were (or are) state-sponsored attacks, they are pretty close to acts of war. Short of that, they are quickly rising to the level of terrorism. That takes the decision to pay off these hackers out if the hands of irresponsible companies and puts it in the hands of those who handle national security.
At least companies that are paying for a ransomware should be condemned for financing criminal groups. Because you can be certain that part of the ransom is used to grow their activities. If nobody was paying the ransom, their would be no interest in developing ransomware.

Some of the most interesting and illuminating words I have read on the subject of addiction (and specifically, alcohol addiction) were on the old "Dive Into Mark" blog by Mark Pilgrim.[1]

$200k for salary for a new grad strikes me as being on the (unrealistically?) high side. You'd need to be quite talented and have negotiating leverage for this. FAANG generally won't offer this out the gate. That kind of salary would buy senior devs no problem, even in big tech cities.

$200k total comp, absolutely. A standard new grad offer with no negotiation might be something like $120k salary, $25k cash, $120k options vesting over 4 years with 6 month periods. So in the first year, no negotiation, you're taking home $177k pre-tax. I know people who have gotten up to $60k cash bonuses (split over two years) out of college, simply by having another offer.

Not according to my colleagues who, to my frustration, believe podcasts are more credible than scientific literature.

Which surprised me. They are intelligent people, how does that happen?
> 1. Cultural exchange. Open networks make it easier to gain access to media that may not reflect views one grows up with. I suspect that without broad exposure to different ideas/lifestyles/values, more places would trend towards nationalism.

Until relatively recently, US policy and those involved in it broadly treated free access to information as something that de facto favored the US - as in, it's not that we needed to provide information as propaganda, it's that access to unfiltered information by citizens abroad intrinsically promotes the US's policy goals, in part by supporting accountability against repressive and closed regimes. It's clearly not something that's been promoted in all times and all places, but it's been a tenet of a good amount of foreign policy over time.

Yes. The act of logging out implies that you want the session terminated.
The issue is that the topic is only relevant to people already familiar with Fourier series and analysis, so the simplified, imprecise reduction isn't useful there.

Wikipedia definitely suffers from inconsistency in who they are writing for.
It’s widely accepted “best practice” to not run processes in docker containers as root but I think it does a disservice to not explain why. The top benefit in my mind is to be able to mark interpreted code (server side JS/python/ruby) as read only in case someone gains shell access in the container. It’s great to set up another user for execution, but you should also make sure to copy in code and build artifacts as read-only. I’m curious if people can name other direct benefits to a non-root user other than “I don’t trust docker/Linux process isolation”.
When you mean Trump era tax cuts, are you talking about this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_Cuts_and_Jobs_Act_of_2017 one?

There was a lot in that package. See https://www.econlib.org/archives/2017/12/much_ado_about.html for an assessment (by a Trump hater..) that does not agree with the 'trickle down economics' accusation.

> 1. Let’s start with the personal income tax reforms. There is some simplification, as many more taxpayers will be able to use the standard deduction. On the other hand, there’s some added complexity in the new deduction for “pass through” businesses. On net I am slightly encouraged by the bill, as I see it as a first step toward eliminating deductions from the tax code. But we still have a long way to go.

> The distributional consequences of the tax cut are not very important. The top rate comes down a bit, but that’s offset by the fact that state and local taxes can no longer be deducted. Some of the tax cuts benefiting lower income people are scheduled to expire, but almost no one thinks that will happen.

> 2. The estate tax exemption was doubled, but this threshold has been rising very rapidly for many decades. It’s a change, but hardly revolutionary. Recall that the House bill called for its elimination.

> 3. The big corporate income tax cut is the single most significant provision. But even President Obama favored a rate cut to 28%. This excellent WSJ article shows that even after the federal corporate tax rate is reduced to 21%, the total corporate tax rate (including state taxes) is in the middle of the pack for developed countries. It was inevitable that the US would eventually move the rate down to meet global competition—hardly a revolutionary change.
The Brazil study was done with a less effective vaccine than the ones distributed in Dallas. 75% of that might not be far from about half with an mRNA vaccine.
Meant to reply to you but replied to parent by accident. $200k total comp seems plausible. $200k salary seems like a bit of a stretch to me. Companies would much rather give you a fat cash bonus or stock than raise the salary so high.
