'A five-minute workout that scientists call “strength training for your breathing muscles” is proving to lower blood pressure as well as or even better than traditional exercise and prescription drugs.'

This article appears to be a re-print of something published a year or two ago, but I can't find the original atm. I bought the device based on the research, but found the "exercise" to be poorly defined, as with most meditative breathing exercises, and never did it. Was hoping further research was done or the study was replicated, which doesn't appear to be the case, unfortunately.
Things always seem to be 'worse than previously thought'.
> Certainly dialects are “correct” in their specific regions. ... It would quickly become unwieldy if every cultural subgroup wanted their dialect to be given equal standing

Arguments like these can't support their own weight. For example, how do the two quoted statements resolve when applied to a region where the majority of people mainly speak AAVE? Are we to conclude that standard English is "incorrect" in that region, because the cultural subgroup that prefers it doesn't warrant equal standing? Or is the AAVE-speaking majority of that region a "subgroup" for some arbitrary reason? Or are we instead saying that AAVE and standard English are both correct in that one particular region - but once an AAVE speaker travels to the next town over their usage turns incorrect again?

The whole topic makes a lot more sense if one just embraces descriptivism. There's no such animal as "correct usage", only "usage that people consider correct" - which varies with both the person and with the context. What's correct in an essay isn't necessarily correct on the playground, and vice-versa. Sure it's more complicated, but it has the benefit of accurately modeling how people actually use language, and prescriptivism doesn't.
Unless its a copy of the technology, is it protected ip? Its an idea (use tracked robots on top of product bins) and there's some issue about patenting ideas vs technology.

Right. At a previous place we migrated from Github to Gitlab, but we have to keep the GH repo for the merge request, approvals and paper trial. This for PCI and SOC2 auditing.
I can accept "un-sentimentality" only in the case we're hiring and firing robots.
No, you need tools that recognize that those are third party and so should not be analyzed. You identified there is a missing feature in your tools, but not that right missing feature. This mistake is all too easy to make, and the results are costly when you get the wrong feature.
The article mentions a new Borat couldn't be made now, and the footnote, probably added after the new one came out, excuses the author being wrong by saying Sasha Baron Cohen already has popularity and support so could get away with it.

It's simpler than that though and fits other points made - the new Borat was actually a lot more politically correct and followed the American ideology that has emerged recently, adding a woman character and going after Trump republicans.

Defeating Android Certificate Pinning with Frida
Ethical concerns aside*, I far preferred Github to BitBucket. Bitbucket has been incredibly unstable for the last few years that I've been using it at work. I regularly see the "We're experiencing issues..." banner when I review pull requests. We don't use bitbucket pipelines, but they seem to be the most unstable part of the product. I haven't used Gitlab in years so I can't give any up-to-date commentary on that as a solution. I've never had issues with Githbub and I quite like their UI so that will be my preference for the foreseeable future.

*I appreciate this is a big caveat
Yeah, I had a boss who was famous for this. Ask her in the morning and she'd want to "have a meeting about it". Ask her towards the end of the day, and she'd say "yeah, whatever".
This is why I still have hope for Android and Chrome.

Even as Google ruins their reputation, we can always fork and abandon our dictator.

Heck I'm already using a Chrome fork.

I have a weird relationship with Google. I'm thankful and disappointed. With Apple/Microsoft/Amazon, I'm just disappointed.
It's a race to build self-repairing bots. Once the wealthy have it, they can just go ahead and let most people die.
Indeed, we moved from Bitbucket to Github and haven't looked back. I'm not huge fan of how GH deals with PR conversations, but that's a small thing.
How did you do the work to type all your existing JS libs, so they have a clear TS contract?
Yes I prefer some underpaid human to wait on me too. But I see the world going in the automation direction at breakneck speed. If we can figure out where people fit in this brave new world (i.e. UBI) then its a utopian future, not a dystopian one.

Anderson localization: randomly placed mangroves offer better tsunami protection
Your comment drives the discussion in a rather circular fashion: your objection is addressed by code comments that selectively disable warnings at specific locations in code, which is the subject of the original article. So long as you make careful use of those then it doesn't matter if you have 10,000 of them in your 100 million lines of code; you still only get one (visible) warning if you make a change that triggers it again, which is below your 10 warnings threshold.
Both.

The argument is AAVE is incorrect, or at least different from, Standard American English, that's why it stigmatized.

That doesn't explain why Australian English, which is also different, is not stigmatized in the US. In fact, there's an expectation that even in the US, people make an effort to understand Australian English.

It also doesn't explain why even Standard American English, just spoken with an African American accent, is also stigmatized. It's literally just Standard American English with different pronunciation! Australian English is far more different to Standard American English than Standard American English is to itself just spoken with an African American Accent.

Anyone who thinks about this with a shred of honesty will see that there's something very revealing about that.
Except there would be no need for an ever present risk of lockdown if every single country simply locked down for 3-4 weeks a year and a half ago.

But no, muh freedomᵀᴹ and the economy!! are far more important considerations that certainly didn't turn out to actually be incredibly short-sighted.

I'm lucky to live in a place with >70% vaccination rate. So this no longer comes from a place of grievance toward personal inconvenience. I'm shaking my damn head at the collective lack of wisdom that was exhibited in countries' responses, including my own.

Every other reply to this comment: "Have you tried not being sad by being happy instead?"

Sometimes the world does get worse. History is not a linear function of progress, there are many examples of generations which have been much worse off than the generations that precede them. It's time we re-evaluated society and how we care for each other because we're not at the end of history. Ruthless capitalism isn't compatible with our rapidly decaying biosphere. It's completely ridiculous how much wealth a handful of people have while the rest of us suffer under the USA's medieval healthcare system. We know what choices to make, we just refuse to make them because rich people might get mad. The world is getting worse, but we can ameliorate the biggest problems if we choose to do so.
I can play Doom on a modern, underpowered machine for today standards, with many improvements to graphics, sound and gameplay thanks to the need that all these improvements had to be contributed back. I can even pay for original assets of the game.

It is not easy to conclude that that would be the case if Doom's source code was not released under the GPL. Actually, GPL has been working exactly as intended and exactly as I expected it to work.
Perhaps in more complex organisms there is a more complex response to the pathogen? It could trigger any number of maladaptive behaviors in humans and it would be hard to know if it was the parasite or one of the many other unfortunate environmental factors of the modern world.

> Of course that is not the same as actual usage, but pretty close.

How would you know that? It seems quite plausible that there are statistically significant differences between the subset of users who enable it and everyone else.
> Most people will shoot support e-mails at you which are more or less "app crashes". (...) If you collect crash reports, you have probably already fixed the problem.

Fair enough. Still, there are two separate steps here: collecting crash reports and sending them. What if the app asked if it can send the report, letting you optionally review it? Many programs today do that, I think it's an effective compromise. Additionally, the app could store some amount of past crash reports, and the places for the users to get the support e-mail (a form, a button, an address in a help file...) could request you to check for, or automatically call up, those past crash reports, and give the user choice to include them. The way I see it, the app should give users near-zero friction to opt-in, but still have them opt-in.

It won't solve the problem of bad support requests completely, but nothing ever does - random people will still write you with problems for which you have no data (e.g. network was down when crash occurred), or for which no data exists (because requester is a troll).

> For usage data, it allows developers to focus on features that matter and know which ones you can remove.

I accept this as an argument in favor, though personally, I don't consider it a strong one. I feel that "data-driven development" tends to create worse software, as companies end up optimizing for metrics they can measure, in lieu of actually checking things with real users, and thus tend to miss the forest for the trees.

Picking good metrics is hard, especially in terms of usage. The most powerful and useful features are often not the ones frequently used. Like, I may not use batch processing functionality very often, but when I do, it's critical, because it lets me do a couple day's worth of work in a couple minutes.

So, for me, can usage telemetry improve software? Shmaybe. Is it the only way? No, there are other effective - if less convenient - methods. Is the potential improvement worth sacrificing users' privacy? No.

> on iOS crash reports are opt-in, and only about 20-30% of users have them enabled. That is fine for huge programs or ones with little surface.

I feel the main reason this is a problem is because of the perverse incentives of app stores, where what you're really worried about is not crashes, but people giving you bad reviews because of them. Mobile space is tricky. But then, forcing everyone into opt-in telemetry doesn't alter the playing field in any way.
self-repairing is only a small part.

bots would have to be just as useful/cost-effective as poor humans. Apparently manual labour at $2/hr is cheaper than robots still.
Is there a technical reason why little endian is better besides the fact that it's more popular due to x86/ARM?

To me, big endian makes a lot more sense - integers are stored in the order which you read them (mentally).

I do remember reading about how little endian enabled some type of optimization inside the CPU, but I forget the specifics.
As someone that is apathetic to the Google/Apple/Microsoft debate, I've never thought Apple was latest and greatest.

> I can understand why some Homebrew devs think it's just an attempt from someone to pad their resume.

I can't. That suggestion seems the product of desperate reach for an ad hominem attack.

There are clear, plausible and obvious reasons for the projects existence that require no seeking of hidden motive to understand or explain.

I'd agree OS-level integration for this stuff would be better, supposing OS manufacturers would also elect to include their own telemetry under such an umbrella.

Where Did All the Energy Go? Working with Volunteers
I think you're probably not. If you explain the details to random people on the street then I bet that a majority would probably be fine with it.

I don't even like to use the word "tracking" any more as it's lost all meaning. Not all "tracking" is identical: some is highly problematic, some is a little bit problematic, some is just fine. When you lose light of any and all nuance and difference then the conversation becomes pointless.

It's just that these topics attract people on horses so high they need spacesuits asserting all sort of things in the absolute that it appears you're in the minority.
That's interesting. Was Github Enterprise too expensive or was there another reason you didn't use it? What advantage did partially moving to Gitlab bring? This question is coming from a genuine place of curiosity, in case that's not coming across via text.

Note that the kernel won't use cargo to build most (or all) of the rust code.

Depends on your domain. I'm in embedded systems, with some safety critical parts. It costs millions of dollars to upgrade production after the release is done - we are not interested in your weekend fix, it better be right in the first place, or it is millions more to deploy the next update. That we are safety critical means that we wouldn't release anyway as we don't dare risk your change resulting in some worse safety issue than the one you are trying to fix. The minimum time for a critical fix to make it into production is 6 weeks of tests. (Yes we have extensive automated tests, they still don't catch everything - as anyone use uses the popular web platforms that release to production often has figured out)

Step 1: Don't

The only thing bitbucket has going for it is that it's the same biller as all the other mediocre software you're using most days. It's pretty awful.
That's the difference between extended lockdown periods and normality in many countries.
The person who suggested the same thing in the Homebrew PR was blocked:

> devlinzed - We shouldn't accept a future where spyware is the norm and rely on this environment variable. We know how that turned out with HTTP Do Not Track. As long as spyware is bundled with Homebrew, Homebrew shouldn't be used or recommended or normalized. The solution is for Homebrew to remove its spyware by having explicitly opt-in telemetry only.

> Homebrew blocked devlinzed on Nov 15, 2019
I've lost count of how many times we've seen the same headline for different variants and relating to different underlying results, and this "less effective" headline always seems to get interpreted by people I talk to as "we'll be back to living like it's 2020 again pretty soon here" rather than the much more accurate "kinda sucks for us collectively but if you and all your close contacts get vaccinated (if!) then it's probably not enough additional risk that you should want to change your behavior".

I notice that I'm also curious what their methodology for coming up with these effectiveness numbers is, and even the "original" public source at https://www.ynet.co.il/news/article/rJQ1O5kp00 doesn't seem to make that clear.
The argument of big tech "exploiting" or stealing has always rang untrue to me.

If Microsoft took the source code to Nano and made a Nano+ that reads word files or something, closed-source, selling it for big bucks, etc, the value of what they're offering cannot possibly be more than the delta from what is freely and openly available. They didn't make the original any less available, and a user is only possibly going to pay if the features are different enough to merit the cost over the freely available version. Similarly, if Amazon has a product based on an open source product, what they charge can only possibly be for the values that they've brought to it. They haven't stolen anything.

A lot of GPL advocacy seems to be based in sour grapes and it's offputting.

I'm amazed any HN readers could believe Google would want to know what is stored if they could actually read it. That is completely useless to them.

Consider the big picture.

Life is suffering with sparse sprinkles of happiness here and there. If you feel bad take a page from Budism, it's the best religion for your mind, and I am an avid agnostic. It's the "No bullshit" religion, basically it's your problem, fix it or learn to live with it.

It teaches you to embrace suffering as part of living, everything is for you to endure, consider how to solve (or not) and grow. By solve I mean reflect on the outcomes and choose to do something, just accept it or just ignore it. The best thing you can do is learn to be your own support, by analysing the issues that throuble you and choose a path.

Besides that We live in the best era human kind has ever had by a long mile.

* There is food to survive for almost everyone, no famines in the last 100 years.

* Big world changing wars have not happened in almost 100 years.

* So much extra wealth in the world almost anyone can enjoy life a bit, have a hobbie, travel, eat out, go out, movies, theather, sports.

* No cold war, no dooms day clock

* Democracy, information is basically free.

* Freedom to do whatever you want ( and face the consequences too)

* Poverty is getting smaller by the day (yeah rich are getting richer but check 1500, 1600, 1700, 1800 or 1900 out for a good perspective on what being poor was)

Basically we are the luckies people that ever lived, COVID or no COVID.

Randomly pick to someone from any other year that ever lived, your life is better even if you get a king it's probably still better.
