The git workflow in the docs (https://git-scm.com/docs/git-worktree) looks really clunky.

Here’s what I do in fossil:

$ mkdir ~/work/radical_idea

$ cd ~/work/radical_idea

$ fossil open ../fossils/projx.fsl
<*note here there is no sense of this being an inferior or “sub” checkout*>
(Edit, edit, edit)

$fossil ci -m “cool idea” —branch cool_idea # commit work to new branch

(Test..)

$ fossil co trunk #switch branch back to trunk

$ fossil merge cool_idea #merges our work from cool_idea branch into trunk branch

$ fossil ci -m ‘merge [cool_idea] for radical new feature’

$ fossil close # this working dir syncs everything necessary to the repo (../fossils/projx.fsl) and is now essentially “offline”

$ cd ..; rm -fr radical_idea

$ cd project_x
(Note: this working directory now not a tip of trunk anymore…)

$ fossil update # now up to speed

You’re correct, get a grip. Look at what’s in front of you. What am I standing in the way of exactly? I’m commenting on what I’m witnessing

A family member lost their jobs because they refused an experimental vaccine, after having covid. Medically, this makes no sense. The doctor didn’t recommend a vaccine. It’s political.

Another family friend in Minneapolis had his business partially burned down. Rioting, current administration helped bail out rioters.

Vaccine passports to visit many places in New York, Oregon you can’t go out without a vaccine passport, etc. curfews been imposed all over, etc. which btw we know the vaccines don’t block transmissions (see delta variant). I wonder how trucking will work long term.

The media suppressed literally any opposition the past 18 months. Including banning the acting president of the United States, senate testimony, Biden laptop, highly supported research discussions about covid, etc etc

Target just closed all their stores in SF (I believe Walgreens did as well). Due to the constant looting and refusal to prosecute or enforce law.

The pandemic isn’t like others in history, because this pandemic is only slightly worse than the flu. Yet we did something not done before by locking the world down.

I’m sorry, but it’s crazier from my perspective to not recognize the issues here. Most of this is not about the pandemic, if it was we wouldn’t be censoring discussions around things like ivermectin (one of the safest drugs we have, and what appears to be effective). It doesn’t add up.
The difficult thing about it is that I personally have an aversion to this. Basically makes me always appear difficult because I hate being defined.
It's not boudins heritage that people attack him over. He has publicly praised his parents for their attacks and portrayed himself as the ultimate victim of their prosecution.
Depending on how long ago the products were purchased new from the store, here you could claim that the device did not last its reasonable expected lifespan under the consumer protection laws.

You can also make a claim that the product contains a flaw that must be fixed, or the sale should either be retroactively discounted, or even cancelled. I have managed to cancel a sale on a product after its warranty expired due to a software issue that the manufacturer claimed was a feature, but which the consumer protection agency ruled was against reasonable consumer expectations that if it was a feature, it should have been clearly laid out for the consumer.

What would good regulation of condos and homeowners associations look like? Are there any locales that have models that are particularly worth emulating? What do they mandate?
The take home from the analogy is to follow a process where delegation and hierarchy is key for efficiency. This benefits all kinds of work. Delegation or setting the right roles in a team (where possible, or making it happen) is better than half-assing or trying to do everything. I don't think there's anything admirable in being unavailable or losing opportunities to complete work due to inefficiencies that can be avoided with a bit more trust distributed throughout a team.
So what? If your argument is absolute number of deaths because of crop deaths, those crops would still be killing animals and thus it's still more than not eating meat.

>if you exaggerate your current salary

I was once being paid way below market, and while I couldn't get a substantial raise, I eventually got a promise of a market salary in the near future. So I immediately started interviewing outside the company and told them about my promised salary when they asked what I was making.

Deflecting the question this way did work to get me hired at a more reasonable amount, without being dishonest according to my conscience. However, things rapidly soured, and it's possible they checked what my salary had been and never asked me to clarify, so I may have outsmarted myself.
Top-level post was repeating some dogwhistle talking points, including insinuating that the editorship of 2600 or the hacker community of which they are a part have an agenda against white people and that freedom of expression is somehow being curtailed for toxic and hateful elements of society, and that that's a bad thing.

Scratch a person who repeats these talking points and you will, invariably, find a racist.

Like many things it’s a combination of many answers, but from my own experience it’s a simpler pipeline with Apple phones. On Android it’s supporting tons of screen sizes, out of date versions, different vendor modifications to the OS.

Looking at it as iOS vs Android isn’t correct because Android is a fragmented mess.

I think most electric car fires are the result of serious damage to a vehicle from a serious crash. I don't believe there are any documented cases of a Tesla catching fire in a private garage and burning the owner's house down. There are some instances of them catching fire in public garages but it isn't clear those incidents aren't arson.

Gas cars have electrical systems that cause them to catch fire. There are loads of news stories about gas cars catching fire in private garages. It isn't clear they are less risky in this regard than an EV.

The stat of fires per miles driven isn't saying that fires only happen while driving it is just a way of comparing the relative prevalence adjusted for the fleet size and usage.

I really hope biologists had much bigger debates about virus modification than the tech community has about ethical AI. It's great that we talk about ethical AI, but the fact that a mistake can't cause a pandemic also puts it in perspective.
Added: Oh nice, there is a third edition (2020) now. I only knew about the 1st and 2nd editions. The 2nd ed is completely online but the 3rd only has sample chapters online: OTOH, the 3rd is in all likelihood an updated/expanded version of the 2nd. So you could read the 2nd and decide about buying the 3rd.

I'd say it's a book for inspirational bedtime reading, rather than careful study or reference. But it's great in that way. Security is about mindset more than anything else, and the book puts you right into it.

I follow a few monetized feeds. They’re usually one of:

- One post per week, showcasing the sponsor
- Embedding a static image into every feed entry for their current sponsor
- Adding a text-based „this post is sponsored by“ sentence/paragraph to every post

For me personally they’re fair tradeoffs

Here's my lazy technique.

Get the biggest thermos flask you have. Get as much milk as it fits.

Get any yogurt. So far literally anything has worked: flavored, with added sugar or even the cheap versions with lots of gelatin.

Heat the milk around until it boils. Add sugar until it's slightly sweet but not too much (this will feed the culture. It won't be sweet after). Let it chill until 40c or slightly above body temperature.

Now mix in the yogurt, you need like 6 teaspoons for a liter milk, but just pour the container you have for good measure.

Pour the mix in the thermos flask and leave for aprox 4 hours, or until the whey separates. After that, the longer you wait the more acidic the yogurt gets.

Now time to strain. I put a sheet of coffee filter paper on the bottom of a pasta colander and another container beneath to collect the liquid. Pour the yogurt there, leave overnight in the fridge and you get thick Greek yogurt.

> The article doesn’t prove anything, because the sample size is negligible.

That would be true if the difference was smaller. With an effect this large it means something even with this small sample size.

Nothing conclusive, but the chances of this occuring by random chance are vanishingly small (though there could be something about the behavior of people that get vaccinated that makes them less likely to get infected, instead of the vaccines themselves).
Hi fogetti,

It’s been a long time. You are only saying this because you got fired from our start up for power harassing our engineers while in a managerial position and getting a little “touchy & creepy” with some of the female staff. The KPIs we had implemented were not stupid. You just refused to do them. Also calling our CEO an idiot using your HN profile was probably not a great idea.

We have also spoke with your previous employers and the feedback was very consistent. Narcissistic and lazy. Please don’t blame our company that you ruined your entire career in Japan.
> While you're pondering all that keep in mind that the person who "broke" the story in the WSJ about the sick workers at the Wuhan lab was Michael R. Gordon. He's also notable for having co-authored with Judith Miller in 2002 the NYT story on Hussein's nuclear program and WMDs that arguably helped propel us into the Iraq War.

Uh, are you referring to this [0]? It's the only obvious thing I can find on Google linked to his name.

It was also posted over a year after when we first heard of those sick workers. Here's [1] one example (they're mentioned from 6:30 to 6:50).

I think the idea is that the market is supposed to work by the principals having good information about their situation and thus being to choose the best decisions. That's at least my one line summary.

In this case it's hard to say someone else was to blame, because the principals had mostly not delegated the decision, they were literally deciding with their own lives at stake. If it were some principal agent problem you'd find a common excuse: it's the agents fault, they chose in their own interest and not the principals.

And yet somehow they didn't decide to repair the building. So yes, even though we had a bunch of free adults with years to make the decision and the lowest interest rates ever, they didn't fix a thing that represents a catastrophic risk to themselves.

No doubt someone will dig deeper into this and find some way the market was impeded, ideological wars being what they are, but it's hard to see how that would explain away the casual observation that people had the agency to avoid getting killed here.

Note that I'm not arguing for more government control over these things, that tends to create an agency problem. Just puzzled over how it could get to this, and a bit questioning how useful it really is for people to decide these things themselves.
I think the physical is actually what's missing in this article.

Mise-en-place is also that you have your tools organized in front of you, having physical reminders and notes, can be helpful for the knowledge worker as well. Having "your" workspace in the office, or at home as well. I find that a huge issue with flexible workstations.

As someone who has been involved in the hiring track at a couple different places, you're absolutely right that it is sexism (and racism). All this shit ends up doing is making me very hesitant to visit a minority doctor or work with a minority contractor or whatever else. How can we ever know, with these kinds of hiring practices, if they are actually qualified?

"Anti-discrimination", if you behave rationally, must lead to further discrimination. I guess behaving rationally is not at the forefront of most of these peoples' minds.
On the contrary, I find it very realistic. We don't have time to argue with every single individual who thinks we're wrong, no matter how much we might think _they're_ the ones in the wrong. With people like the GP, there's just no convincing them, you just have to move on and not waste your own time trying to debate with them.
It never ceases to frustrate me that these sorts of articles invariably focus on RSS, and say little to nothing about Atom.

This article mentions Atom once:

> (Note: there's something very similar to RSS called "Atom", but all modern apps work equally with both.)

Here’s what I say about it:

If you’re doing podcasts, use RSS, because almost nothing supports Atom there, because for all practical purposes Apple took over and froze the ecosystem at a certain point in time that was just before Atom became popular and fixed up the mess that was RSS.

If you’re doing any other type of feed, use Atom, because it’s technically substantially superior to RSS and supported just as well.

Where Atom and RSS are both supported, you should always prefer Atom, because RSS has the potential to mess things up because it leaves the client to guess whether certain fields are text or HTML. RSS is simply a hopelessly incorrect format, whereas Atom models content types properly. RSS is even harder to write correctly than Atom, due to things like using a weird date format.

(Look through older comments of mine for more explanation and reasons: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu....)

Can we please stop talking about RSS and talk about feeds? A bit like we finally mostly stopped talking about SSL in favour of TLS.
It is probably not so very surprising that combinations of different vaccines might produce better results, they probably trigger different parts of our immune system.

There are two counterpoints to the issue of excess salt being an environmental hazard.

A) brine can be introduced back into the ocean combined with waste water. In the Cape Town drought of 2017 some small desalination plants were brought into service very quickly, and the brine was expelled in the same pipe as the outflow from a (treated waste) sewerage plant.

B) the ocean is big - very big - and at least by our coast seldom "calm". So outflow of anything would disperse very quickly. Hot-water outflow from a nuclear power station dissipates very quickly for example - typically within tens of metres of the outflow.

C) the natural salinity of the ocean varies a fair bit at the very local level - think river mouths - storm water - evaporation etc. Outside of specifc closed bodies of water (Dead Sea etc) we'd need desalination on a massive scale to even measure the impact.
The arguments are rationalized after the fact. Black people do worse on the exams, thus the exams must be unfair. The rest of the exercise is trying desperately to twist the data to support this, or when that fails, just say "systemic racism" and wave your hands vaguely.

Considering how academia has acted so far in regard to the SARS-CoV-2 origin question—most ardently anti-lab-leak scientists ridiculing alternative viewpoints, then turning out to work or have friends working for an organization pulling millions of USD in grant money on related research—it is difficult for me to take its publications on the topic at face value anymore.

For a take published outside of academia, there’s been a thought-provoking write-up featured here not long ago[0]. It touches upon the funding aspect that this article focuses on, as well as the contrived web of misinformation around the issue, WIV virus sample mislabeling, the apparent PLA’s involvement in US-funded research, and a lot more.

Plotext – Python Plotting on the Terminal
This is indeed addressing a similar scope to Alpine, but aims to be even more minimal.

petite-vue is less than half the size of Alpine.

petite-vue has no transition system (maybe this can be an opt-in plugin).

Alpine is developing its own ecosystem and likely will diverge more from Vue in the future. petite-vue aligns with standard Vue behavior whenever possible, so it's less friction moving to standard Vue if needed. It's intended to cover the progressive enhancement use case where standard Vue is less optimized for nowadays.

I mean you're not even putting any efforts into your delusions. These are things that have been long debunked with very simple logic. My favorite part is how you believe that the big bad conspirators removed Trump and are pushing the vaccine, but back here in reality, Trump was the biggest champion of the vaccines. He created the program that got them into production so quickly. I don't know why I'm wasting the keystrokes here. It is clear from your blog that you are very far down the rabbit hole and are writing articles about things you have no understanding of.
Like IRC, Bittorrent lacks convenience and a nice UX which seems to be required for mass adoption. Most people use dropbox for transferring large files. Some even use email as file transfer if it's below some maximum size (20-50 MB).

Maybe if some culture is not adapted to the state of the world, we should try to fix that culture, and not modify the world around it.

Vue is specifically better because it uses HTML-based templates by default, and HTML is what's produced by web frameworks. This means you can use whatever technology you want on the backend and everything works seamlessly.
Also the syntax for directives, handlers, and other logic in these templates is much easier than dealing with JSX in the majority of uses-cases.

SSR/isometric rendering isn't new, but it's usually hacks around using a frontend JS framework to run the backend and can result in the worst of both worlds. Projects like Blazor (.net) and Livewire (php/laravel) are interesting new solutions to fix this.
