Somewhat recently the native-comp branch was merged which compiles Elisp to native code.

In my experience, this has a huge positive impact on performance, and can make Emacs feel a lot faster, smoother, and more responsive. Others say it doesn’t yield a noticeable difference for them, but on both of my machines it’s quite noticeable.

How do you mean no one ate lunch at their desk?

I eat at my desk (often) because my day is hectic. Sometimes I’m in the middle of a problem and don’t get to eating lunch until later in the day - at which point everyone else already ate.

Much of my day can be a hustle from one thing to the next. I do make an hour of time in the middle of the work day to go lift weights.

Yes, it was called the October Crisis.[1]

I don't think we should be judging Justin Trudeau for his father's actions, but we should judge him because when he was asked to apologize (on behalf of the government) for the October Crisis, he refused.

Or its called expelling invaders and slavers from your country.

And no, it literally isn't genocide. They weren't eradicating the French as a whole. They were removing the ones that decided to colonize and enslave them.

By your definition, any targeted mass killing would be genocide, which isn't true at all and dilutes the word.

I’m sure it’s hard to learn to be a serious programmer past a certain age. But it’s not easy to learn a new (human) language or get really good at many of the other skills I mentioned that quickly either.

Currently, my main concern with YAML is that, by the spec, comments are not attached to a particular node (see https://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#id2767100). As a result, a lot of YAML parsers (like https://github.com/yaml/libyaml and https://github.com/chyh1990/yaml-rust) only filter out the comments during the parsing phase. This makes it less than ideal for a use-case where the configuration file is expected to be modified by both programs and humans.

TOML makes it more trivial to associate comments with a node. This is mainly because the language is simpler though, as the spec is not explicit about that (https://toml.io/en/v1.0.0#comment).
They can do proof of stake, where some kind of wealth is directly or indirectly demonstrated.

For example, the Cayman Islands had a pandemic program that required staying at certain bubble properties, which were like $10,000 per interval. Not sure what the interval was, but it was expensive and would accomplish the gatekeeping.
It's pretty simple to me. If I give something to someone else to take care of, like a stack of magazines, and make no effort to conceal the magazines when I give it to them - they're going to see what magazines I have. We understand this. If they're magazines about something illegal, then of course they might report you to the police. This is like storing your unencrypted files on Dropbox.

If you store the magazines in your basement, locked in a vault (password protected computer), then we have an expectation of privacy. To have the vault manufacturer sneak into your home, forcibly open the safe, and inspect your magazines is a very invasive thing. Especially because if this wasn't all over the news, no one would ever think such a thing is happening.
Lol. Most startups don't solve any problem, and many that do are solving a problem advertiser's have (not users).
> But you seem to assume that insulin or frequent high insulin levels cause insulin resistance.

In another comment You stated obesity causes T2D. As I previously stated there are obese people that do not get T2D, but more importantly there are skinny people who get T2D.

In response you replied to another comment claiming there are medical cases where people who do not eat carbs get T2D in attempt to disprove my position. Again I ask you to link a single case of T2D where the patient did not consume carbs/sugars. It would be the same as trying to find a case of non alcoholic fatty liver disease where the patient does not consume carbs/sugars, another chronic condition that is linked to obesity but not cause by obesity, it is cause by chronic damage to the liver by way of processing sugar, like T2D it just doesn’t happen without carbs/sugars.

Consider that in many - not all - cases of pre-diabetes and even full T2D, patients can make dietary/lifestyle changes to reverse their insulin resistance and even get off medication entirely. Reversing T2D is successfully done by reduction of sugar/carb consumption, it can be but doesn’t need to be a ketogenic diet. But I have never heard of any case where a patient successfully reversed T2D with weight loss alone without reduction of carb/sugar intake.
Ask HN: Is my child’s Chromebook inhibiting her computer learning/literacy?
All, two or three years ago, I found an incredible deal for a used very high spec HP Chromebook and I jumped on it for my now 9 year old.

So it’s still working great, and she uses it all the time for online school and Roblox (via android app capability). However, I feel like it might be holding her back from learning how actual computers and traditional OS’es work. I feel like she can’t really “explore” and do other things on it that she might otherwise do with a Windows or Linux laptop.

Do I need to get her a Windows(/Linux) laptop asap to widen her technical horizons? Not interested in a Mac for cost and other reasons..

I'm a Dad and I use Arch. I can't stand non-rolling release Linux distros. They are constantly getting in my way because they don't track upstream.

I have multiple machines running Arch (some over a decade) with no problems. In constrast, doing dist upgrades on Ubuntu has put me into states that I could not figure out how to get out of, and thus had to do a clean install. (Granted, it's been a long time since this has happened, but mostly because I very specifically avoid non-rolling release distros.)

Ask HN: Recommendations for automated image content filter services?
Hi all,

I'm working on a side project which accepts user-generated content and I'm looking for a straightforward web service to which I can submit an image and have it classified against a dataset looking for content that might get me in hot water with the App Store, Play Store, or other bodies which might want to pull the plug on my service such as my hosting provider. We already have quite an extensive manual moderation system that can react to user reports, but I'd like to cut down the moderation workload to an easier level using an automated service. Ideally this service would have fine-grained classification (ie swimwear/underwear is fine, nudity isn't; a picture of an explosion is fine, images of weapons aren't) but I'd sacrifice some fine-grained control in order to keep costs down if necessary.

My aim is to have three possible outcomes: if the image has a strong confidence of being inappropriate the submission simply gets blackholed, if there's a less strong but still fairly high chance of the image being inappropriate it goes though but is added into the moderation queue, and if it's not suspected to be inappropriate nothing happens and the post is let through unimpeded.

This doesn't have to be perfect, nor is it the only (or even the primary) means of moderation for my use case. However, this does seem a good way of reducing the moderation workload and reducing the risk of some adversary submitting inappropriate content then complaining to Apple/Google/your server host etc.

Cheers in advance.

Do you have a page number for your claim? Because the mainstream view is that the KMT did much more to fight Japan than the CCP. It is bizarre for you to claim that Chiang "didn't have much interest in fighting the Japanese" when the KMT suffered the bulk of the casualties (and led most of the battles) in the war against Japan.

I wish author got out of their self-referentiality a bit before going deep with their presuppositions into a book.

> “Nihilizing” is a thing we all do at times: refusing to recognize meanings that are right in front of us.

If there is a refusal of recognition, it implies a pre-processing stage of estimating a lack of payoff for the cognitive work in that area, which itself is requires a meaning system we made that evaluation from! This is not nihilizing, it is merely not committing cognitive suicide by trying to make sense of everything indiscriminately with a limited information processing capacity. By their definition, only a "god" would not be nihilizing.

> Committing to nihilism, deciding that you “are a nihilist,” is unusual, and typically a big deal. It’s a conversion experience, and the adopted identity may persist for years. It’s uncanny that you can go that long without noticing that there isn’t an –ism. That’s a feature of the peculiar cognitive distortions nihilism produces as a stance.

Author asserts "true nihilism" is merely an existential state, and not a system. True nihilism is not a useful category though; dead matter would be the most "true nihilists" while a breathing human would always have a pre-supposition of meaning as they continued to breathe, since they are meaning making agents strongly embedded to their bodies and within their environment. This is not a very useful way of diving things up.

The pragmatic existence of nihilism is not a pure empty state; it is not even throwing noise to our meaning making machines, it is throwing "anti-meaning" patterns that take the deconstructing and dismantling to an extreme without any goal to put things back better. Certain post-modern thought can both perform and propagate nihilism in this way pretty well; an assertion of non-existence of any meta-narrative that joins all narratives while scrambling all the puzzle pieces you've tried to piece together and then throwing them into an acid vat as a proof is an -ism.

Peculiarly, author is also a nihilist in the -ism sense; in addition to this article, their "No cosmic plan" article is subtitled "Great confusions about meaningness stem from the mistaken assumption that there must be some sort of eternal ordering principle.", or "Nihilism: denying meaning" with "Nihilism is the wrong idea that nothing is meaningful, based on the accurate realization that there is no external, eternal source of meaning."

Those are serious (and in my opinion misleadingly incomplete) assumptions on first principles that also happens to be the WIP chapters of their book.

Pretty instant. Since there was essentially no internet or nothing substantial was online (mid 90s in Bulgaria), you'd hear from people that there's shortage of something, and it's already too late.

The line is hours long and your best option is to simply line up or you're gonna be out of gas, for example. Family members sometimes would take turns waiting at the gas station for a few hours.

There were more shortages in the early 90s right after the collapse of the Soviet block, but I don't personally remember those.

Which is great! Despite the flaws of capitalism, it's literally the point! As supply chains were impacted, new businesses and solutions filled the void.

It's a great video, but I really think there are four factors for entrepreneurial success. Hard work, good judgement, luck and appetite for risk. You really have to have all four, even just 3 in large measure is almost a guarantee of failure in startup land.

* With lack of hard work you just won't beat out harder working rivals.

* With poor judgement all that hard work will be going in the wrong direction.

* Without luck your timing or connections with the right collaborators might never work out.

* Without an appetite for risk you'll stick to the tried and true path and never truly innovate or take advantage of rare opportunities.
Although technically true your statement misses a fact. Jdk 11 is still an LTS version for oracle which means that they are committed to improving that version with (security) fixes. These fixes will also be(come) available to the main OpenJDK distributions.

Therefore, as a user of any JDK distribution you can depend a bit on the LTS versions, in addition that what your distribution promises.
>+1 - subtly, if it's important someone will re-file or re-open it.

With all due respect, this absolutely is not the only outcome. I'm going through this right now with UniFi and Ubiquiti, which has been a raging development dumpster fire for years now though the rot has only really started to become critical and more generally obvious the last year or two. UniFi is full of very important bugs, issues, and missing or badly implemented core functionality. But, like many many others, after devoting a lot of time to detailed bug reports and figuring out how to make it reproducible and extensive work helping identify how to meet standards that all got closed/ignored or even actively got worse?

I simply don't give a flying fuck any longer. I'm not "re-filing" (of course, they've dumped even their minimal mediocre old feature/bug tracker anyway with no replacement, but I don't make new threads either). I mostly don't bother anymore with reporting anything UniFi at all. Instead I've been steadily migrating away entirely. For me, UniFi is now in a completely subservient role, still doing a certain amount of switching and WiFi but with 100% of core network functions, routing/gateway coverage etc moved to OPNsense. As the time comes to get new gear anyway for WiFi 6E/7 and more multigig switching that'll be the end of it for my ~100 pieces of kit.

Of course companies/projects are free not to care, and depending on what sort of goal a project has or what sort of lock-in/stickiness and core revenue areas a business has it may indeed not matter if there is an exodus of small/older users/customers. But it shouldn't be assumed in every instance that "if this is really important someone will poke us again" because everyone only has so much time themselves to poke you, and if word gets around that it's pointless to even try than that will be the last you hear from them until they're gone entirely. IMO, the true terror for many business/projects shouldn't be criticism, it's silence. When people simply don't even care enough to even invest the time to get mad anymore.
