> Worse, if we drink too much water too fast, we can throw off our electrolyte balance and develop hyponatremia—abnormally low levels of sodium in the blood—which is just as deadly if not more so than dehydration.

I remember reading a news article about the tragic death of a young girl from this. It was at her birthday party. Her friends got her some MDMA, which she had never tried before, and she freaked out, locked herself in the bathroom, and drank an unbelievable amount of water. Her sodium levels tanked, her brain swelled, and she died.

As a tangent, the news article was titled something like "MDMA kills teen", as if the drug had poisoned her, rather than blaming ignorance and sodium depletion from drinking too much water.
I started out using QGIS but since most of my work is in Python I found it frustrating to always tool hop. I then kind of went around QGIS to use tools like GRASS directly, but have recently found python-native tools like xarray to work very well for what I'm looking to do.

I know there are people that use QGIS/ArcGIS directly with python, but I could never really get comfortable with it
What if you had two Teslas taking turns towing each other at 70 MPH? You could increase the range to (INFINITY*EFFICIENCY)-MATHS! That's a lot of muskjuice.
I don't know whether or not it is legal, but I have seen an electric car with tram whiskers before. I think I saw it in San Francisco, and I think it was a Prius. Some quick Googling fails to turn it up, though.

Ask HN: Tools to understand your users and improve UX on your website?
Hi HN,

I’m currently using Hotjar to understand what my customers are doing, its works well but it’s very expensive for me as a bootstrapped founder.

I have also tried talking with my customers and asking questions with surveys but it seems that none of them fill or complete my surveys, so I think it is a site issue, but not quite sure.

Is there a Hotjar alternative that has heatmaps and that is friendly to bootstrappers?

What tools do you guys / startups use to understand your users?
I wonder if using a polarizing filter over your webcam would reduce the glare from your glasses. Polarizing sunglasses very effectively reduce glare on water, as well as car windshields.

Ya, but think if we had no property tax like China, it could be a lot worse.
Since the pandemic, I’m seeing more and more over-engineered home video conferencing setups that add more trouble than they’re worth.

Adjusting your home setup for decent front lighting and workable audio quality is important. Getting a mirrorless camera with expensive lenses and a podcasting microphone setup is not. I’m getting tired of losing minutes at the beginning of each call while the people with exotic camera, microphone, and lighting setups play games to get everything working with Zoom.
Amtrak relaunches US Rail Pass – Travel the country for 30 days for $299
Hah, don't try it in Europe either, max towing speed in Europe is 40km/h or 25mph.

I guess a tow truck with a bed that has a rolling road would be an idea, prop up the car so the weight of the car isn't actually exerting force that makes the wheels harder to turn/cause extra wear. Or the "rolling road" can be replaced be a contraption that attaches to the wheels by e.g. its rims, and spins it.
A lot of accusations flying around here about my intent. But just bear in mind that I have a particular person in mind that I know is unable to visit anywhere in pedestrianised places. They do not have a mobility scooter, can only walk like 20 feet, are able to drive still.

So my comments are not motivated by some kind of hidden agenda, I am just thinking about someone who has apparently fallen through the cracks of the desire that some people have to make cities less accessible for cars.

It's a consideration I voice when I get the opportunity, and hopefully it will be factored into whatever planning happens. Not all elderly people like using mobility scooters, can afford them, want to spend extra time getting public transport etc etc.
Why stop there? You could get a whole circle of Teslas towing each other and never even have to stop moving!
This is probably going to feel obvious but YouTube. You can learn most of the things on YouTube nowadays, there are videos and tutorials for basically all hobbies.

I know it's not the same, but technically you could do that with every format: just ship a JPEG decoder and detect if the input is a JPEG. The other way round would be much cooler, i.e. if each JPEG XL file also was a valid JPEG.
From NJ, wouldn't change it.

No need to get out of your car and deal with a dirty pump. You can also get out to go in the store while they fill your tank, or some smaller places you can buy stuff right from the attendant. Gas doesn't cost any extra because of it either. We used to have some of the cheapest gas in the country before a recent tax hike. Basically a free service, no tipping either.

One downside is that if it is busy you might have to wait, but the guys are usually pretty quick.
I know this is a funny question to ask about people who believe that they're being mind-controlled by aliens, but would anyone believe that a psychiatrist would give them a pill that could block mind control waves? That is clearly not a part of the movie script, so to speak.

I am particularly conscious of this dependency due to a family history of kidney stones and a personal terror towards the thought of getting them myself. I aim to drink 2L of water/day minimum, and usually aim for 3-4L per day. It's not really that hard as I just drink when I'm thirsty, but I did eventually realize it would make going on a long wilderness excursion rather inconvenient.
Of course, but metabolism also generates heat, and heat needs to be dealt with by evaporating water. Consider that the only human tissue that increases its metabolic rate just for the sake of it is brown adipose tissue[0], and its purpose is to generate body heat. On the other hand, compounds that can significantly increase base metabolism (and thus generate more water) such as 2,4-dinitrophenol[1] are dangerous because they can easily result in lethally high body temperature. That's why increasing metabolism with the sole purpose of generating water would be self-defeating.

Disingenuous argument which completely ignores the ramifications of severe economic downturn on a global stage.
You're completely right.

Every React update solves a very specific Facebook issue but it's because React is developed by Facebook for Facebook.

React was and is developed to solve Facebook problems, not community problems.

Unfortunately there is a lot of hype about corporate backed libraries and they get adopted by the community because the hype, not because they solve community's problems.

It does not mean these libraries are bad, quite contrary, the majority of them are very good engineered solutions, but at the end of the day, they solve corporate problems, not community problems.
Thank you for your response. This gives me a lot of good questions to think about and answer. I'll try to answer these for myself and probably reach out to chat.
I misread the first line of your bullets and thought the titles were:

- Multiple systems, and how data flows through them

In full, Ferris' book is about how to adjust a business to operate without direct oversight, along with adjusting your own lifestyle to live off of whatever income that generates. One of the key points to that is making a product to fit an unsatisfied market. There was a desire from people to earn a decent living while cutting out unnecessary work, so he used past experiences to create a product for that market. It happens to be self referential at points, but that's done to show the concepts work. He could just as easily leave the out and have the audience be none the wiser.

By no means is the book a panacea on entrepreneurship, Tim focuses on outsourcing in many places where digital automation could handle the work and his definition of Work is "things I don't want to do" rather than "billable hours" so it's unclear if even he meets the books titular goal.

What if you had a driveable wind turbine? They have solar panels on Priuses, might as well add wind to Teslas. The faster you drive, the more wind there is!

Now if you had a solar-powered Prius towing a wind-powered Tesla on the deck of a nuclear-powered carrier, you're just one creative accountant away from starting your own renewable defense company.
Property is a communal asset with communal benefit. Sitting on say an apartment in a big city and not using it means you are depriving someone else from using it to do a job, buy coffee, create economic and social activity. Empty apartment buildings do no one good.
the security benefit of things like stack canaries rest on them being random and not known beforehand, I guess. Otherwise stack smashing malware could know to avoid them.
It's quite simple: they can afford it by having full employment.

Full employment means lots of good things: a population that's richer per-capita and spends more, less expenses on welfare, less poverty, less crime, less billionaires, etc.
Why, in your opinion, aren't men allowed in a battered-woman's shelter?

We rarely address that point, but now we get the the crux of it; what does self-identification have to do with it? I'm sure most men don't identify as violent either.

EDIT: I don't know why I bother engage with these topics sometimes. People consider anything other than "softball" questions as bad faith.
The author mentions using frustum culling for performance. Won't this lead to lighting artifacts with indirect illumination when path tracing? Even when an object is behind the camera it could still affect the lighting of what's in front of it.

No offense but that is the most loaded phrase I've heard this week.

That would be a major overhaul of both roads and electric car designs.
I had a similar idea which involved a large amount of gerbils in a giant wheel. They can convert sunflower seeds (which are of course solar powered) into energy 24/7. Thanks to your stroke of genius instead of using a generator and charging your EV you can just put a wheel next to it and leave the Tesla on it now. I haven’t worked out what to do with half a ton of gerbil corpses, shit and sunflower seed shells yet though.
That would be a neat test. Find a steep hill, preferably as straight as possible, and test how many times an electric car can traverse it before running out of batteries. Would the distance traveled exceed that on a flat road with no generation? By how much? I'm sure someone in San Fran has already tested this.
That's just pseudoscience: The earth is flat so there's no such thing as going up hills.
people pay taxes into the UBI pool but never get anything back.

They get to live and work legally in the US and get a salary paid in US dollars. That seems to worth a lot to a lot of people. You are of course right about the very obvious two class system it will create and the long term social consequences of such a system are tricky to predict.

Edit: The US birthright citizenship rules might actually make this harder to implement.
Plus in Europe it's forbidden to tow with a rope like he does. You must use a rigid link, like a bar or a tube.
starch can also stimulate the uptake of water in your small intestine. Oral Rehydration Salts combine some dextrose and salts to mix into a liter of water. When properly mixed the salts are in a homeostatic quantity and won’t affect the salt balance of existing tissue. So you can drink them to recover from severe dehydration without risking hyponatremia.
I’m not sure about any performance gains or working with large datasets, but the ancient Metakit[1] was just a really pleasant relational algebra library ( ≠ SQL data model library, it could do e.g. relations as values which are difficult for row-oriented databases). I’d say that Metakit & OOMK in Tcl is strictly better than the relational part of Pandas in Python, except the documentation is somewhere between bad and nonexistent.

HEIC and AVIF are based on the QuickTime file format, which doesn't seem very svelte either. I can't find any reference on the JPEG XL container format so it's probably it's own thing.

Demystifying Styled-Components
Not everyone who struggles to walk more than 20 feet wants to use a scooter (or can even afford one), many elderly people in that situation already have a car, and many of them are able to drive relatively safely. Like people with respiratory or heart issues.

And right now they have the option to use a mobility scooter or a car, if they lose the option to use a car then there will be places that will take a lot longer to get to. I think it's reasonable for people like this to prefer being able to drive everywhere, it gives a huge amount of independence and is clearly can be more convenient than public transport.

And there is a dignity aspect as well, I don't know how seriously people will take that argument but I understand that many older people would avoid doing trips rather than using a mobility scooter. I think that deserves consideration as well.
+3 miles hopefully didn’t include the energy spent going up, or the law of energy conservation would have been broken.
Intersex people exist at a rate of approximately 2 per 10,000:

Most people will go their entire lives without ever meeting one.

Do you really think these 2 out of 10,000 people are driving the changes we're seeing in locker rooms and women's sports?
I’m currently half way through life and fate (just finished the famous chapter where Liss has a conversation with Mostovskoi on the similarities between the USSR and Nazi germany). It’s truly an incredible book. In the first chapters, he details the inner working of nazi camps, I did not know about Kapos[1], absolutely horrifying. Long read, but definitely check it out if a War and Peace about WWII is something that sounds interesting to you!!

It’s likely fine, 65 kW is only ~85 HP. Simply maintaining highway speeds is ~25HP, so as far as the tire is concerned it’s the equivalent of mild acceleration or breaking.

The regenerative breaking system is likely designed for long mountain roads, so it might overheat but probably not.
There are several oddities about humans that seem to indicate that we were semi-aquatic at one time: webbed fingers and toes, hairlessness (compared to other primates and hominids, we are the "naked ape"), our big beak noses that help keep water out of our nasal passages (some people can voluntarily seal their nostrils), our babies float and instinctively hold their breath, the fine hairs on our backs are slanted towards our spine (rather than away like all other primates) improving flow, our fingerprints that swell and wrinkle when wet making it easier to grip things, our eyes have a special "underwater mode", etc.
The differences IMO are even more impressive at higher compression. WebP on "tiny" loses a lot of detail whereas JPEG XL retains most details while still losing overall image quality.
Here’s the code for the fully complex case: https://discourse.julialang.org/t/i-just-decided-to-migrate-...

Hopefully after the LoopVectoruzation.jl rewrite we can make it understand complex numbers automatically. We could probably put in special-case complex support today, but we’d really like to support arbitrary structs of bits.
A comparison to ZeroTier is also nice, they both seem to have the same use case (ZT can supply and route IPv4 and IPv6 addresses)
People would still pay taxes on income. If the taxes you pay are larger than the UBI amount then you effectively don't receive it any more, even if it's accounted in the way that you receive $1000 UBI and then pay $1000 (or $2000 or $5000) in taxes.
They are called piss jugs. Thanks TPB.
Something about this feels off to me. So does this mean expecting service with a smile is a bad thing?
In my country there's no expectation of either a tip nor expectation of service with a smile, so this article kind of confuses me a bit. And from what I've witnessed neither of those assumptions out of the equation stops lecherous men, but we have to accept grumpy service workers. Nobody wins.
I'm not saying men or women should exist for my service, in fact I hardly ever go anywhere with a (human) server, but the few times I do it's a pain to be treated like an annoyance (maybe that's why I don't go out much anyway).

To take advantage of a 1000 Hz monitor, you'd need to render 1000 different images per seconds!

And if you can renderer 1000 images per seconds, then generating motion blur that work on a 100 fps monitor is as simple as displaying an average of 10 frames.

The various motion blur techniques allow simulating higher frame rate without paying the full cost of rendering all the extra frames.
> But the mythology of Neuralink is that this is something we can all use to interface faster with our cellphones. I’d certainly like to text 50 percent faster, but am I going to get an open-head surgery? No, because there’s an expression in neurosurgery: when the air hits your brain, it’s never the same.

If "type faster" is a goal, where are the classes for people seeking to do that?

Even though one's innate reflex speed is probably limited, it's almost unheard of for people to use anything close to that capability in everyday activities, so why aren't people trying to get their finger twitch speed up with physical practice?

I think "type faster" actually means "communicate faster"; and as Dr. Eagleman points out here the process of "communication" is mostly internal, preparing to emit a burst of noise we hope will be found meaningful.

We don't have a lot of discipline on how to do that better, ourselves, so making machines to assist is going to be the realm of cranks and scams for a while.
Yes. Motion blur is temporal interpolation, this is, it's a way of representing what happens "in between frames". The shorter the time between frames, the more subtle the effects of interpolation (like the higher the resolution of an image, the less blurry it becomes in between pixels).
I was really excited about JPEG 2000 when I first heard about it in the mid 2000s. As is tradition it was pretty much killed by the possibility of patents that weren't part of the industry agreement.
No, Rust for example explicitly disallows this.

I'm responding specifically to the parent's claim that only two sexes exist. You're projecting your own political anxiety into my comment. I'd rather you didn't do that.

I know a handful of intersex people and would rather they not be erased. They suffer a lot of collateral damage from the "trans discourse".
That excerpt could be interpreted in two ways:

1) Beware of overdosing, because extrapolating from in-vitro studies will yield dosages that are unsafe.

2) We know the dosage required for Ivermectin for be effective, and it is too high.

The first is fact-based and uncontroversial. The second would be completely unfounded and would contradict earlier parts of the statement, so the reasonable assumption is the first interpretation.

Appeals to authority are problematic to begin with. Appeals to authority that misconstrue the authorities (FDA, EMA, and Merck in this case) are counter-productive.
