Ask HN: Easiest Way to Donate for FOSS?
I use software from loads of open source project, just by running my computer and using the internet. What's the simplest way to support all/most projects I use fiscally?

Is it to pick one or two projects I particularly like and give there? Or donate to a large foundation like the fsf and let them spread the love?
The Google Photos mobile apps have heatmaps of photos. https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/25/21301932/google-photos-re...

I think even in single family construction, it is often the case that people specialize and the work can be quite repetitive. We had some drywall work done, notably finishing a portion of our basement. Hanging the drywall, followed by taping and mudding, followed by painting. All were done by different people, probably with different pay scales and expectations of working conditions.

I've had people come to my house to do handyman work, and at the same age as me, they are hobbling and broken.

I suspect that one of the causes of the opioid crisis is that we had a pain crisis, caused by bad working conditions. I could imagine advising one of my kids to go into the trades, but only if they move to a country with decent labor laws, safety net, and health care. Not in the US.
1. You're applying my statistical factor at the individual level re brain development. It's a risk factor, not any sort of rule.*

2. I didn't say anywhere the 18 year old can't decide for themselves. This is not me saying "all 18 year olds dating 25 year olds should break up". I am saying that those relationships are more ripe for abuse and they warrant more reflecting/examining for the health of all involved.

* I think my "I avoid these flags" was taken to mean every one individually when I meant the sum of all when it comes to age and life stage gaps, so sorry for the lack of clarity there.
Don't upgrade for the center taskbar. Use https://github.com/mdhiggins/CenterTaskbar instead.
What? The GP didn't come to that conclusion. It's pretty clear to me they're trying to understand the thought process of the rescuers and why they rejected the obvious ideas. Asking an expert why they decided against something obvious is a great way to learn what works and what doesn't work. It doesn't mean you're insinuating the expert is an idiot.
> Is this suggesting that the results were identical across gender?

I suppose you mean sex, since using genders for preschoolers would be ridiculous.

Secondly no, it's not suggesting that. It's simply suggesting they may not have grouped their results by sex, maybe because that would have made the groups too small to yield useful data, or because they simply weren't interested in that.

As an aside, you shouldn't post-factum partition your data by characteristics you did not set out to compare, because then you might try height, intelligence, hair color, etc. until you find some characteristic that yields differences of "statistical significance" even though you've just been trying them all until you found something that differentiated some groups by random chance.
from reddit...

> the 30µg of genetic material in the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine vs. closer to 100µg in Moderna's indicates to me that their RNA optimization was probably superior, and is likely part of the reason for the less severe side effects

https://www.reddit.com/r/medicine/comments/kp1a00/moderna_vs...

> Moderna probably used a higher dose than they needed to. This was discussed with the vaccine advisory committee. Apparently the dose they settled on for phase 3 trials was decided prior to having all the phase 2 data. They decided to error on the side of effectiveness when they picked the current dose. They basically admitted, if they knew then what they know now, they probably would have used a lower dose in phase 3.

so basically 6 months ago they knew it was probably too much

as to why the pfizer is effective against the delta it's probably just picking the right sequence that is slightly closer to the delta by chance.
I think you need to take the water consumption and greenhouse gas production into account. This isn't a small amount of overproduction. I agree that a healthy buffer is necessary and good, but we are way way beyond that. Producers do not need to overproduce at the current scale. Demand is not wildly unpredictable.
This already happens in parts of the world where the police are ineffective in combating rampant crime.
When this came up originally here on HN, the point was made that it was known to be effective in reducing plaques (IIRC; against a symptom anyway), but was not known to be effective or ineffective against Alzheimer's.
What the fuck is this dark pattern? You must agree to ads before later revoking consent?
> Aren't there legal systems to make sure that's being done right? Is "we" some labor inspectors?

"We" can be past, current and future employees, who might not contact or work with labor inspectors out of reverence to "the mission" or Musk himself.
Precisely. The top-10% thing essentially made my tool into an "expert system". I built a simple model with a bunch of parameters, and had it figure out those parameters based on observations of high-skill games.

In retrospect, a neural net would have likely been the best approach, but the (maximal!) noise in the training data would have made it difficult to train. I wanted a billion or more game outcome records to enable NN training, but the game stats API is very throttled and it would have taken months to get that much data. In that timeframe the game is often patched with new rules, which would invalidate the older data.
I suspect it will only be 5-10 years until humanity finds itself face to face with the environmental disaster that is disposable masks, this stuff will be just everywhere.
its kind of ironic if you think about it, youd think removing features and simplification should allow for more optimization not less...
well it shouldn't.
makes much more sense to use negative reinforcement as a term to describe a reinforcing stimulus of a negative nature.

optimal terminology has never been our strong point as a scientific community.
I remember Web Font Player before dynamic fonts became available. You could upload a copyrighted font. Say Microsoft or Apple's font. It will trace that font and generate your "Web Font" and then you could use it without any copyright issue as that's not the original font rather a machine learnt one.

Guess fonts are still like this.
In other words, it's a column by a guy who spent his career in drug discovery. Not merely a journalist.
I do this so often just by adding temporary comments in the code and files that I'm debugging. If I get interrupted I can just `git diff` and see the entire chain of files that got me where I was. When the problem is solved, I just `git checkout -p` and discard any of the temporary comments while keeping whatever the fix was (or inverting this, with `git add -p` and then `git checkout`).

First there are apps to calculate the right time to put a baby to nap or sleep. And visual cues, like yawning or rubbing the eyes...

Then you must have a similar routine everyday

Then he probably might want some milk before sleep, formula or booby

Finally, from my own experience, but much like the comment. Darker room, hold him, walk around the room, pat his bottom, hum a song
I am not against dating someone even of a different income level, let alone social class, I think my "I avoid these flags" was taken to mean every one individually when I meant the sum of all when it comes to age gaps, so sorry for the lack of clarity there. But if you do have a strong financial difference, it is something I think people should be aware of as a potential imbalance.

We don't need to get silly with millionaires vs billionaires or reductive stereotyping. Every situation is different and nuanced, and literally all I have said is:

1. Large age/life stage gaps create more statistical vectors for abuse

2. It's worth reflecting on how these factors affect relationships in order to make them as healthy as possible.

whoooaa, you're being very generous there. "any teenager" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. i have the unique experience of being one at one point. of course i'm being sarcastic, but some of the dumbest shit i've ever done (hopefully will ever have done) was as a teenager. a toddler does things because "they don't know any better". a teenager does things even though "they should know better". i've seen medical people talking about the brain still not fully finished baking until the 20s. so with that unfinished gushy frontal lobes and all of those raging hormones with that natural teenage angst, it's a wonder we survived as a species at all ;-)
In the US, fonts (a computer program) are copyrightable but typefaces (design of letters, numbers and other symbols) are not. So you can basically just redraw your own Helvetica with no copyright issues.
I've been there recently and in the past. This time at least due to remote work I can work on my projects when there's nothing else to do or I just can't face the really boring crap. It really is demoralising and draining like digging holes to fill them back in again
I don’t think the extra circuitry to implement “write blocking” the same way a forensic reader works is worth it in consumer kit. You can’t just have a switch to block writes, it’s way more complex. Better to get the user to unplug the device entirely after the backup is done.
Plastic pollution and climate change are orthogonal issues. The latter is much more immediate and serious. The former, we're not even sure how much of an issue is it.

But not recession proof. Also, the "automation" can happen gradually without making it look like it's affecting the trades. Thinking about plumbing, in my locale they've gone from sweated copper and iron drain piping, to plastic tubing that comes on a roll and is joined with some sort of tool that squeezes the fittings onto the tubing. Drain work is all PVC glued together.

So the skilled labor content of plumbing a house has decreased over the years.

Every house in my neighborhood has hardwood floors throughout -- it was cheap when the subdivision was built out, but laborious to install. Today, the same class of house would have carpeting or sheet flooring, costing a lot less to install.

Other things like vinyl siding, Romex instead of hard conduit, etc.
Well, at least they're being upfront about it: You can pay or get ads + tracking (or, the hidden third option: leave the site).
Center taskbar seems like another one of those "looks cool, but is actually is degradation of usability" idea. If my icons are left-justified, then if I want to switch to e.g. IntelliJ (if for some reason I'm not alt-tabbing), my muscle memory remembers that it's the 8th or so icon from the left, so around pixel 400 from the left, and I can just move my mouse and my eyes towards that area. But with center taskbar, the location of that icon is variable depending on how many apps I have open, so I would be wasting more brain cycles having to search for it...

Quite. One good thing (the only one?) that came out of Thatcherism was the end of the British coal industry, though at the cost of enormous suffering for many people. Although BoJo and his crew of sub-100 IQ morons seem to be intent on opening a new one.

These stickers in the 70s, mostly on polluting Citroen 2CVs used to really piss me off:

At high enough humidity, shade won't save you - evaporative cooling (your body sweating) does not work.

There is a temperature/humidity line across which a perfectly healthy person, sitting in shade and drinking unlimited water, will die.

That's why this is terrifying. There's no "gee nature is great a tree will save us" about this.

I just cannot imagine any use case for 25Gbit down/up.

I have 2Gbit down/up but for a long while I didn’t bother fixing my cables that limited the speed to 100Mbit because I just couldn’t see the point.

The only thing that changed now is that my Steam downloads complete much faster than I expect.

Lora Messenger
This project aims to design a Lora Messenger which does not depend on Internet or Cellular network. In other words, users can chat with others by using this credit card size Lora device and a smartphone with Bluetooth without Internet and Cellular network.

For the hardware design, a high efficiency compact Lora PCB Antenna and an ultra-low noise figure amplifier had been designed to maximum the communication range.

For the software design, a simple Lora half duplex communication protocol had been implemented by about 600 lines of C++ code.

The coverage of this credit card size Lora device was tested. In the experiment (TX:14dBm, Freq:915Mhz, Spreading Factor:12), 1500m communication distance had been tested, no timeout or re-transmitting occurred. According to the link budget, this system could reach far further than 1500m.

I guess it depends where you consider the separation. Even among the web, people don't only post in one language. And among the English-speaking web, Reddit has absorbed forums almost entirely which I would consider to be a negative.
I understood that very small $ of Japanese people are not Christians and do not celebrate Christmas before; fast food isn't considered cheap terrible food in Japan (at least American fast food chains) and that they value family time together and created/adhered to a tradition of getting families together on a day they normally wouldn't before since perfect excuse to be with family.

That's good enough piece
As a Canadian, I’d caution against firm conclusions from our experience. I’m inclined to think first doses provide good protection, but cases collapsed last summer too despite a relaxing of NPIs. It is hard to overstate how much canadians are outside in summer vs. other seasons:

* School is out, university is out

* Air conditioning is comparatively rare. Or if present, unnecessary. People open their windows and doors instead. I’m typing this now with an open door with bug screen in front.

* Drivers roll down their windows

* People socialize outside in parks and backyards

* The population tans all of a sudden, raising vitamin D levels. Normal respiratory virus spread collapses

* Patios flourish at bars and restaurants. Often the inside is fairly empty. Window-walls open completely leaving restaurant/bar interiors open to the fresh air

* Many offices and professions have summer holidays

Then by mid September we hermetically seal ourselves inside and everyone gets sick once school is back.

I’m cautiously optimistic we’re past needing lockdowns but it is still too soon to tell. Our summer had a powerful seasonal effect last year and seems to have this year too.

(Past needing lockdowns = we’ll get enough new first and second doses in over summer while the season is on our side)

Unsworth - who knew the cave system - said that Musk's idea was impractical and a PR stunt. Both of those claims are valid and came from a reliable source. During a crisis, there is no particular need to be polite to people getting in the way.
A cheap option is one of these sainsmart 6 axis robot arms: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00UMOSQCI.

I haven't documented anything yet, but I got the arm working with ROS/MoveIt! for kinematics. The code is here: https://github.com/lukeinator42/sainsmart_arm_ros. It uses cheap servos though so I don't think the accuracy is near 0.25mm.

Here's a video that shows the arm in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yi_QydaN-34

I'm currently also building a Roboteurs RBX1 Remix arm that uses stepper motors, but it's not complete yet.

I might be mistaken here, but it seems to me that the international users who want a simple experience are already well served by smartphones (android or otherwise).

The international users who are going to install linux on a laptop are the tinkerers and fiddlers and the self motivated learners who aren't going to be motivated by a dumbed down, inaccessible interface.

Abstract: Stratocumulus clouds cover 20% of the low-latitude oceans and are especially prevalent in the subtropics. They cool the Earth by shading large portions of its surface from sunlight. However, as their dynamical scales are too small to be resolvable in global climate models, predictions of their response to greenhouse warming have remained uncertain. Here we report how stratocumulus decks respond to greenhouse warming in large-eddy simulations that explicitly resolve cloud dynamics in a representative subtropical region. In the simulations, stratocumulus decks become unstable and break up into scattered clouds when CO 2 levels rise above 1,200 ppm. In addition to the warming from rising CO 2 levels, this instability triggers a surface warming of about 8 K globally and 10 K in the subtropics. Once the stratocumulus decks have broken up, they only re-form once CO 2 concentrations drop substantially below the level at which the instability first occurred. Climate transitions that arise from this instability may have contributed importantly to hothouse climates and abrupt climate changes in the geological past. Such transitions to a much warmer climate may also occur in the future if CO 2 levels continue to rise.

> working in a demoralising physical environment like a cubicle farm

Since the rise of the open office, I yearn for the cubicle farm.
Start with onboarding page since that's what you will be most familiar with and has actual content and does not change too much. Use screenshots and add version/date of each tool.

Use a tool everyone is already using or familiar too (ideally it doesn't involve logging in or has single-sign-on).
My personal experience with two different robotic arms (< $500) and some additional research is the lack of high level software and libraries, which is quite crippling as it’s very complex to control.

If you’re not used to control theory and inverse dynamics it’s quite tricky to control it (especially at 0.25mm) and you’ll never get to actually use it to perform what you want.

You might have better luck with low-end industrial robots but the cheapest are $2500 and more.

(I’m similarly in the market if a product can prove me wrong, especially interested in something with some computer vision integration)
Why would age (3 groups), which they did partition on, be statistically significant but not sex (2 groups, assuming no intersex)?
Hopefully the tool has timestamp feature.

Is there an appropriate time in addition to add a date?
This is true. Just about everyone's pee has measurable BPA.. even AFTER we removed the BPA everywhere...
makes more sense at first glance maybe, but when you dig into it more it's perfectly logical.

"positive" refers to adding stimulus, "negative" refers to removing stimulus.

"Reinforcement" is anything that increases the occurrence of the behavior, "punishment" is anything that decreases the occurrence of the behavior.
If you are reasonably experienced and constrained by resources, a great option is to use a window manager without a desktop environment.

That's my setup because it has fewer moving parts and lower latency, as there are only a handful of processes running and no compositor.
That depends on how skilled you are at performing research, and whether or not you have enough "base truth" knowledge in the domain to filter out low quality information.

9 times out of 10, though, I think your observation is correct. The people doing "research" get their information from YouTube documentaries linked to Facebook groups, and have very little practical understanding of epidemiology/nutritional content of meat/how child sex rings operate.

I think the quote flouting the rule of 3, and the discussion in the article is analogous to a similar phenomenon with face attractiveness.

If you average across many faces, you get an attractive face. It's a safe bet for an attractive face.

Yet, many super models are not an average across features, but have extreme features. The challenge is that unlike an average, extremes can generate unattractive faces.

Rule of 3 is a recipe for a pursuasive message, but you can be pursuasive by flouting it (and extremely pursuasive writing often flouts rules).
