"The Mayflower landed at Plymouth Rock because, the crew feared, the Pilgrims were going through the beer too quickly. The ship had been headed for the mouth of the Hudson River, until its sailors (who, like most Europeans of that time, preferred beer to water) panicked at the possibility of running out before they got home, and threatened mutiny. And so the Pilgrims were kicked ashore, short of their intended destination and beerless."

Perhaps not. I'm a Brit who has designed souvenirs in Plymouth (the one in Devon.) That does not make me an historian but I am a bit interested.

"who, like most Europeans of that time, preferred beer to water" - no they preferred NOT (Colera OR diarrhea).

"And so the Pilgrims were kicked ashore"
Please do tell.
I got into scuba diving a year ago and every dive you're supposed to log data about the dive like duration, location, type of air etc. It's partly for safety, partly for curiosity, and partly to prove that you are as experienced as you say you are for advanced trips. It seems like 75% of people use paper booklets, 5% a myriad of shitty apps and the rest (like me) don't bother logging because it's so tedious.

So I'm putting together a really simple "Strava for diving" app in react native to suit my needs and then at the same time having a reason to learn a bit about go for the server.

Also @op one of my coworkers told me she built something to track some Disney collectibles game, and she gets thousands of users which is really cool, but you won't believe the entitlement from people asking for bug fixes on a free web app lol
Not really about wasting their time, its about wasting their time at school and the likely drugs theyll take up if it continues long enough.

I saw a lot of kids go on to higher education only to mostly waste it. They were there because their parents made them, not because they wanted to be there.

I worked for a year before going to uni, after that, I really wanted to be there. Working sucked. I wanted a better job. When I hit uni, I was extremely motivated to learn.
I agree, but I just turned 57 (been programming since 1978 for fun), and there is so much already done in Ada that powers SPARK that it will be a while for it to be tried and true. Although, with all the work on theorem provers and such, maybe it will be exponential and I'll be around to see it. I really like Zig too, but I am staying with Rust because of its inertia. At heart, I love J/APL, but I use them for wholly different reasons.
Critical infrastructure is not the devices being hit by ransomware attacks. They are encrypting corporate networks, which do need to be able to run Outlook and use a web browser.
Nope. Enterprise systems are terrible because Enterprises are terrible. Politics, silos, bureaucracy, turf wars, egos, non-technical decision makers etc. is all mixed together in a mud pile of complexity that no software technology can fix. It is a human problem not a tech problem.
The team behind the M1 has been doing high performance chips since they did a PowerPC chip in _2005_ and has been doing custom low-power apple arm CPUs for almost 14 years.
> Even then, ask yourself: Why do so many people pay $800 for an iPhone instead of $200 for some Android?

Because Apple has managed to make their mass produced commodity products be a status symbol.
To beef fair, the title was begging for it.
I think a lot of people don’t realize how much alcohol they actually consume because their bodies are accustomed to it.

As a non-drinker apart from rare occasions (1-2x per year), here’s my anecdotal experience.

Over the course of an evening:

- 5-6oz of a 7% IPA and I’m feeling good. This is around my personal cutoff if I do happen to have a drink.

- 1 16oz IPA and I’d be feeling borderline drunk.

- 2 16oz IPAs would leave me right and properly drunk with a good chance of a hangover.

- 3 or more and I am feeling way too drunk, my stomach contents are no longer guaranteed to stay in place, and I’m guaranteed to wake up with a robust hangover.

I drank quite a bit up until about 6 years ago, and back then I could consume multiple times these amounts and feel fine.

I am a healthy, fit person in my mid-late 20s, and to my knowledge don’t have any genetic predisposition to alcohol intolerance.
Hey, I'm the creator of Cafayo. If you'd like to kick the tires without signing up for a new board, you can check out https://meta.cafayo.com/topics/hi-i-m-lee/messages

I'd love to hear any feedback, or answer any questions!
The dual camera is a design choice I hadn't thought of. I've thought of scanning a couple books, and that's probably the trick for me. Though maybe I'll rotate the book and scan / rotate images separately.
....but then when you run it in production, your app fails, because it was designed against assumptions around the fake cluster and pod, or a different config file. I'm not saying there's a solution to this, but we should remind people that "we can pretend X is Y" is a reproducibility red flag.
Is this so I can search something bothering me on my screen? Or do you mean it's for searching my own personal screenshots on the device?
Ask HN: Good, objective resources on Israeli-Palestinian conflict?
Last night I was arguing with my kids about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and I realized I didn't know what I was talking about.

What are some good, reasonably objective resources to understand the history of the conflict and what's going on now?

Surely it's not a clear case of good vs evil, but does either side have the moral high ground? Who did what to whom? How did we get here?

Note: I'll take biased resources as long as the biases are disclosed and I've got a mix of sources.

Thanks.
Well, since the recipes you wanted to use were using volumetric ratios then it doesn't matter what size cup you use… until you have something like tsp or tbsp in the recipe, which are more standard (although, because I wrote it I thought I'd check and it turns out that Australian tablespoons are 25% bigger than UK/US/CA's!)

For some recipes those kind of measures are helpful though, so I wouldn't get rid of them. I'll always have a cup handy (a British cup is, handily, the same amount most people would make for a nice cup of tea:) but I won't always have scales.
Immunization of Serrana´s population with Butantan´s vaccine
Most of us would actually happily admit that regular cannabis use is harmful ... so are a bunch of other things, like potato chips.

Cannabis use is not even in the same order of magnitude as the harm alcohol does. Alcohol kills 10K people a year in the US just from drunk driving. I'm not sure why you are bringing this up?
Yep you are 100% right. The less actual experience people have with Enterprise systems the easier they think it is.
My misunderstanding. Thanks for the clarification.
NIST for civilians, I think. The Air Force has a lot of cyber teams as well as ECM (electronic counter-measures) equipment.

I responded to one of your other comments saying the same thing - norway did not have "lockdowns" like much of the developed world...sweden had more stringent lockdowns than norway. Either way a single datapoint doesn't prove anything, but you're wrong on even your single datapoint.

Lockdowns don't limit transmission because, in the US, only 40% of the economy shut down and traveling metrics didn't go down for very long. It's not that social distancing can't work - it's that it didn't work for likely very complex reasons.
Not all but certainly most. I definitely don't think more complex code is more fun, and a complex system will only give you job security up to the point that it gets replaced by a much simpler, more efficient system.
Missed a step in that opt-out how-to: 1. Install Alexa App on phone.

Why can't I disable this 'account setting' from the Amazon web portal. Plus, if I mistrust Amazon's repurposing of devices, why would I want an Alexa app installed to potentially repurpose my phone? Funnily enough, Sidewalk was just one of 3 surprising anti-security/anti-privacy settings available only in the app.
Would you recommend it? I'm considering giving up drinking entirely and just smoking/vaping weed. A small amount of weed gives me the same sort of social buzz that the sweet spot of alchol (3-6 drinks) gives me, with no hangover and excess calories.
The Sidewalk network has a very low bandwidth of 80kbps with a cap of 500 MB per month. I doubt that it will incur extra cost for most people. Is your concern about the principle of sharing bandwidth or are you worried about the actual cost?
Apple could have had good thermals with what Intel gave them, they just didn't because they seem to value "as thin and light as possible" as opposed to "pretty thin and light, and with sane thermals". Even then they seem to make straight up poor decisions around cooling a lot even when doing the right thing wouldn't affect size/weight. Do they just not have engineers on staff who are good at this or something?

It's absolutely possible to do high end Intel in a compact laptop with relatively good thermals - look at thin Windows gaming laptops for plenty of examples of this (and these have way beefier GPUs than macbooks too).
> While I strongly believe in vaccines, I note that the Dallas, Texas (USA) area has seen similar improvements, and we’re hardly a high-vaccination area.

With 45%+ of adults with at least one dose and 35%+ fully vaccinated,
its not bad either (and most of TX, by population, seems to be innthe same neighborhood.) Given that almost everyplace has (through a combination of formal policy and swlf-selection) tended to prioritize people either at risk by age or health condition or in and occupation posing a high spread risk, and catching asymptomatic vases is pretty hit or miss because surveillance never got that good, you’d expect a lot of the gains in deaths and reported cases to be in that first third of adult vaccinations.
I think the Tile bit is a non sequitur. There’s no need for a Tile tag to create a network connection to a remote serve. That functionality could have been implemented without Sidewalk (eg Apple’s Find My is completely differently), so I’m dismissing that justification from Amazon.

I have a few Tile tags, too, and I hope their new Amazon partnership makes them start being useful. It didn’t need Sidewalk though.
Article title needs changing, "America has a Drinking Solution"
That seems unlikely. In fact kernel builds don't really produce much memory pressure, no more than a 1-200 MB per parallel make process in general. (The final link takes more, but that doesn't really parallelize anyway).
What about iframes? This seems like a backdoor for tracking.
>There's a deeper "independence" in American culture that has nothing to do with north vs. south that foreigners can smell a mile and a half away, even (especially?) on "northerners".

Maybe if they come from collectivist cultures, definitely not if they're from strong "independence" cultures but it's immaterial to your original premise.
MAD can work for nuclear weapons because:

1) The set of nuclear powers is well-known.
2) The barrier to becoming a nuclear power is high enough that only governments can feasibly do it.
3) You can generally tell who launched a missile at you.
4) Mutual destruction is considered a bad enough outcome by each of the nuclear powers that it's an effective first-strike deterrent.

Almost none of these factors are true for cyberattacks. Cyberattacks can be done by almost anybody, including literal children. They can be laundered in a way that makes them very difficult to trace. Lots of criminal enterprises wouldn't mind if their own country's infrastructure was crippled in a counterattack to their own attack.
> Also, everyone just loves watching Intel suffer.

This is such a weird fucking statement.

Apple literally think they own your hardware after you buy it, and Intel are the evil ones?

I don't really do fanboyism, currently own Mac, windows, Linux, Intel, amd, android, iPhone, switch and PlayStation.

I just use what I use but I don't get so attached, apple has been lacking for years. M1 is ok but honestly it feels like they've only just caught up to everyone else.
I also find this interesting. Should the data structure really the primary entity though? One can imagine the same data being organized in different data structures with different performance characteristics, functionality, etc. What if an App node wants to alter the data structure. Any other App node that is dependent on the data from a different node will then have to be rewritten.

What one wants is the ability to query the data of another program and send external commands to that program to alter the data. The data structure itself is somewhat irrelevant, don't you think?
Quaternion-Spinor Relationship
> While I wouldn't recommend simply using the subscript format everywhere in your application due to it not always leveraging indexes...

I assumed that the subscript format was basically preprocessed into the arrow format, but this kind of implies that it's not. It's too bad the point isn't more clear here as I'm curious as well.
> We only have data at the state level

False, e.g.: https://data.democratandchronicle.com/covid-19-vaccine-track...
The end of winter probably has a lot to do with it also (just like flu deaths go down during the spring and summer). The vaccines effectiveness probably won’t show through very visibly until November.
I am sure that spending multiples of $100M on cyber offense is providing ample justification to state-sponsored adversaries of all kinds to stage attacks of their own. Especially combined with Snowden-type revelations which makes the US look like an evil monopoly conspiring to aggressively exploit its dominance to eliminate all competition.
So which one in the following is fastest: i7-960, i5-2400K, or i3-1115G4? And where does Pentium Gold 7505 fit in?
I hear a lot of people talk about the current administration not doing enough, but I was pretty sure that companies were free to have whatever bad infrastructure they think they can get away with. These ransomware things are rarely something that I would consider national security. For instance, it looks like a good opportunity for a company to take over this company and do their systems correctly.
I think between telling big businesses to spend a bunch of money and fix their shit and do things without the Internet, and adjusting the Internet—which would also make state-level attacks and foreign astroturf disinfo/propaganda campaigns harder to carry out—we're going to pick the latter. Again, unless these threats don't keep getting worse, though I expect they will.
Most clients don’t know what they need or disagree internally on what they need. Working on Enterprise systems you are often put in loose-loose situations where no matter what you do somebody will hate it. Kinda like politics actually. No technology will fix that. It is a human/politics problem.
ESC (or call ESP, VSC, DSC, whatever) is also a huge improvement. It's shame that it failed to standardize the name despite the goodness.

Thanks for the information. I actually didn't know about the individual 401k. Using the individual 401k would allow me to make a larger contribution ($58k) than my current SEP (income does not max out the 25% limit). However, the downside with the individual 401k is that I cannot expand and hire full-time employees.

Do you have to know if I can convert my SEP into an individual 401k?
What Apple has proven with M1 and Rosetta is you can actually quite elegantly support legacy x86 programs, while leaving little on the table, and make use of all of the advantages of ARM/RISC based architectures.

I'm interested if AMD/Intel will respond with their own beefed up desktop profile RISC/ARM processors.
I'm not sure I understand your interpretation. I read it as mainly "the things people point out as problems are really just symptoms of a country in misery because all the things providing a stable base for people have been systematically removed or destroyed".

> a complete failure to crib off the results of developed nations across the world that simply don't have constant ongoing crises about everything.

And this I took to mean "there exist countries of a similar level to the United States that don't quite have this problem. Look at what they did and steal what works." I'm not sure how that implies anything about some countries being undeveloped.
State actors who do this aren’t looking for justification. They just do it because they can. Same with independent (non-state) actors.

It’s not like they were being goody two shoes and suddenly with the Snowden revelations they turned.
On the small reddit clones, the far-right takes on the same role as the far left does on reddit. The Daily Stormtrooper gang, who comprise at most 10 people, will flood those sites with relentless racist material and will attack and deplatform anyone who complains or dissents.
Something tangential and somewhat hard to quantify or even describe:

Are Americans on average in shields up / high alert / guarded / adversarial mode more often?

Every time I visit I always notice two things:

Americans are far more generous and polite than their reputation suggests.

Everyone always seems stressed and guarded and defensive.

Everyone seems to have security cameras everywhere. Fences. Locked everything. Guns. This general feel that everything is zero sum and you've got to guard your hoard, save your seat, not let drivers in, race to be first.

I just feel so exhausted being in high alert mode perpetually after a visit.

Now that I write all this I feel like it's probably confirmation bias or whatnot. But maybe others have thoughts.
>We want our community to be inclusive, and that obviously includes the language being used every day (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/slack/slackccugl…). If you don't want to get suggestions from the bot, disable it for yourself.

Am I reading too much into the last sentence.
I get the sense that we are closing in on something, and that in the next 5 years or so we are likely to see the first anti-aging drug or therapy that's been demonstrated to actually work to slow or slightly reverse aging. It ain't going to be biological immortality sci-fi stuff but it might extend your life span or "health span" more than conventional things like diet, exercise, etc. could accomplish alone. It will also mark the start of a new era of medicine.
Nature article with similar results from 8 years ago: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature10950 It looks like previous results only showed positive benefits in male mice. I would caution any excited, though, since this is only studying mice. Humans are different enough that there's a good chance (high probably) that it won't have similar positive impact in humans. E.g. increasing it might promote cancer or have no meaningful effect.
I've always wanted to be able to do some development work on my phone, or my iPad. So I'm building a tool that let's me build and deploy backend APIs easily, and without much code.
I feel there's probably a benefit to general purpose systems. Most non-general purpose machines I encounter are IoT or PLC devices and the S in those acronyms is for security. At least with a general purpose system I can implement hardening guidelines like DISA STIGs and automatically scan to be sure that they're enforced.

Maybe you get away from that with real software engineering, but that seems a bit like no-true Scotsman to me.
Have you actually worked on real world Enterprise systems? It sounds to me as if you haven’t. Some of the posts above (from people who know what they are talking about) might enlighten you.
One day we may finally achieve the ultimate discovery and conquer immortality to our overlord rats
Let me put it this way. You're not likely to cut your R&D budget when your competition is increasing it.
With budget of less than 0.5bln I don't think anyone can argue that DoD is taking cyber-anything seriously.

Right now congress is debating how to spend 1 trillion in infrastructure, and I feel that most of it will go to pointlessly laying more concrete across the continent. I would like to see some kind of secure citizen-network, separate from the internet, restricted in functionality to just basic services, a business directory, and a message board that requires a crypto cert to identify yourself so you can make a post/comment.

You can absolutely take it to audiophile level but doing something simple like grinding the beans before brewing instead of using pre-ground makes a huge difference. It's like using trash dollar store earbuds vs. a decent pair of headphones. Little bit of effort, huge improvement.

Abstract

Aging leads to a gradual decline in physical activity and disrupted energy homeostasis. The NAD+-dependent SIRT6 deacylase regulates aging and metabolism through mechanisms that largely remain unknown. Here, we show that SIRT6 overexpression leads to a reduction in frailty and lifespan extension in both male and female B6 mice. A combination of physiological assays, in vivo multi-omics analyses and 13C lactate tracing identified an age-dependent decline in glucose homeostasis and hepatic glucose output in wild type mice. In contrast, aged SIRT6-transgenic mice preserve hepatic glucose output and glucose homeostasis through an improvement in the utilization of two major gluconeogenic precursors, lactate and glycerol. To mediate these changes, mechanistically, SIRT6 increases hepatic gluconeogenic gene expression, de novo NAD+ synthesis, and systemically enhances glycerol release from adipose tissue. These findings show that SIRT6 optimizes energy homeostasis in old age to delay frailty and preserve healthy aging.
