Researchers are finally breaking away from the central dogma of depression
The comment you are replying to said "usually" and that was in response to the GP that said "I don't believe the London Underground has ever been profitable."

The government did not bail out the London Underground in particular last year but TfL, though I would be surprised if the underground was profitable last year.

Anyway, unsure what your comment was adding.
My local charity/recycling bin for clothes/garment explicitly asks for permanently stained or ripped clothes as these can be used as cloth in factories.

I’d be pretty pissed if they just ship it out to the third world and rip off some local business man.

I could have thrown it out locally. No need to ship trash to Africa.

Currently moving an old Angular+Cordova project into Capacitor...

Capacitor is very poorly documented in my opinion. The official documentation seems sufficient but it has been, at least in my experience, pretty easy to run into edge cases that don't have straightforward documented solutions available, and it's obviously a bit too young to have a ton of StackOverflow answers available, for example.

My understanding is that the Cordova team and community has mostly moved on to Capacitor, and while there is some backward compatibility, it is often not evident to what extent you need to tinker with both to get them to work.
After reading the headlines I question myself: What is the eqivalent in bathtubs filled with iPhones?

I'm assuming you have some ownership in the form of stock, and I'm wondering how that factors into it.

The problem with those types of breakpoints is that they slow down the app considerably.

DIY Silicon: Man Builds Integrated Circuit That's Similar to Intel's 4004 CPU
Personally I've always been kind of confused by the common best practice of separating everything. React and Vue single file components made so much sense to me.

I guess if I were to rationalize my position, I'd say it's because I have a hard time finding related things when they're separate. If a button or "a" tag have a special click handler, I want to know when looking at it. If it just has classes, then I don't know if that are for style or if they're for behavior. I know there are some conventions out there where you prefix classes with "js-" etc, but if you just use "onclick" then it's obvious and you don't need a convention.
Newsfeeds are not dead, they are just not in your sight.

Frankly spoken, it's really fascinating how ignorant this former inovator-company has become about the world.
>If it were 5-10x faster than that you could probably fit that into a lot of interesting use-cases for on-demand workloads

That's basically lambda although you lose control of the kernel and some of the userspace (although you can use Docker containers and the HTTP interface on Lambda to get some flexibility back)

Under the hood, Lambda uses optimized Firecracker VMs for < 1 sec boot

>I think for the majority of use cases boot performance is not particularly important

Anything with auto scaling. I think CI is probably a big use case (those get torn up and down pretty quickly) and you introduce hairy things like Docker in Docker unprivileged builds trying to run nested in a container

Gartner does exactly this - including boot times which are calculated using similar metrics (but over longer time periods and with more runs).

Not sure if the data is freely available, but I used to be part of the team at AWS that calculated these. See [0].

Yes, it's tough! And yes, London is cold. The rest of the country is not like that. However, you're not really trapped yet. Reading between the lines you don't yet have children, and a huge mortgage and school fees geared to your banking salary. Which is where I was post GFC in 2009/2010. In that situation, with banks and HFs firing and nobody hiring at the salary you need to meet obligation, you are in a tricky spot. I saw some pretty nasty stuff happen at my employer in 2008/9/10. IMHO the solution is to move out of London. There's lots of interesting dev work outside London in Cambridge, Oxford, Bristol, Birmingham etc. And very healthy salaries too. Check my profile and email if you want more on how I solved this dilemma.
The War Nerd: Was There a Plan in Afghanistan?
Just adding a bit more information about what the links are.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghanistan:_The_Great_Game_–_...

I've not read the book or watched the documentary myself but I've had it recommended to me by lots of people and the documentary won a BAFTA in 2012 for best factual series.
Per the post it’s 8.4 and independent of the OS:

> The first two values — the time taken for a RunInstances API call to successfully return, and the time taken after RunInstances returns before a DescribeInstances call says that the instance is "running" — are consistent across all the AMIs I tested, at roughly 1.5 and 6.9 seconds respectively

“Running to available” is what’s in the table, ranging from 1.23s to 70 or so.

That was poor wording on my part. I meant to say anti-Soviet fighters, which you are correct, were Afghan mujahedeen. Mullah Mohammad Omar and all of the original founding leadership were former mujahedeen fighters from the Soviet occupation. But most of the leadership from every militia faction that formed in that post Soviet vacuum were former mujahedeen.
It's more practical at this point to start weaning off carrying a phone at all times. Not necessarily going off grid into the woods, just not carrying it unless you'll need it for something specific that day. I'm not sure more tech is going to solve this issue, we're just digging the hole deeper.
There is built-in type-checking, but currently only via the tooling. It integrates with TS as a language service plugin (https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/Writing-a-Langu...) so you get great warnings/errors, type inference and much more. To define standalone types or interfaces you still need to use `.d.ts` files, but that may change in the future :)

A tax that starts at 90% for low income people and ends up at 2000% for high net worth individuals would be the one of the most progressive tax systems imaginable and yet would be completely unaffordable. The average percentage of earnings paid to taxes and governmental fees would be a better judge of this but that I've never been able to find data like that.
Unit testing is generally not useful for bare-metal code, since it depends more on the actual device behavior than the behavior documented in the datasheet. Creating an accurate mock is, sadly, often just not possible with the documentation available. And with the quality of mocks being bad, you end up testing the datasheets against the devices instead of testing the kernel code against the devices.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_Lyme_disease

> Chronic Lyme disease (CLD) is the name used by some people with "a broad array of illnesses or symptom complexes for which there is no reproducible or convincing scientific evidence of any relationship to Borrelia burgdorferi infection" to describe their condition and their beliefs about its cause.

(TLDR; lot of misinformation about Lyme disease)
Many report chronic symptoms, who have been laughed at for decades.

Chronic persistence (at least in some cases) has now been proven.

Took someone with chronic lyme to donate the brain for research: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fneur.2021.6280...
Lyme is just one of the horrible diseases ticks carry. Would be nice to cull most of the deer in the North East. A few decades ago they were rare, now they're everywhere.
Perhaps there was an /s missing in parent post? Implying that unit testing is often prioritized more by management, over checking security, configuration and tools like this one.
The issue is that it's impossible to make anything with more address space directly interoperable with IPv4 since it has a fixed 32-bit address space.
Unless you consider NAT from your extended IPv4 towards IPv4 interoperable in which case IPv6 is already interoperable with IPv4 (since there is NAT64 among lots of other schemes).

However you will always run into the exact same issues we are facing with IPv6 today.
How are you getting checked? I understood (perhaps wrongly) that the blood tests are only accurate well beyond the window with which the medications are effective, creating a chicken and egg issue.
Buddhism, like any philosophy, is meant to be studied. I wouldn't assign to it what belongs to (mis)interpretation of its teachings. Even within Buddhist societies it's understood differently by different people, with many (most?) choosing not to practice any form of mindfulness, but rather preferring to worship. It doesn't matter that the superstition is discouraged, it's more easily accessible: status and amulets, offerings, people receiving blessings while on a submissive posture, women not allowed in certain areas, etc. And probably due to its nature, the philosophy meets the practitioner where the latter feels comfortable.
That's not what a no true Scotsman fallacy is, GP literally claimed that other countries did in fact take the necessary precautions and did better than us, which is would
be a true Scotsman.

Any circumvention of DRM, even simple DRM as long as it's not too trivial, is considered illegal under the DMCA. The decryption routines Spotify uses should definitely be considered non-trivial DRM.
I do have some RSUs, but no real way of knowing how much they’ll be worth, if anything. I don’t get to see a cap table, nor am I privy to the investors’ term sheet to know what their overhang is.

Stock options used to be an enticing form of ownership, now it’s a crapshoot: you’re gambling that you won’t get screwed.

But all of that is beside the point. When I (and presumably the original poster) are talking about ownership, we mean the sense of originating and creating the thing we’re building, not just owning the material benefit from it.
All those words are in the OED, so take the spelling up with Sir James Murray.
I stumbled on "The Five Day Course in Thinking" (https://www.amazon.com/5-Day-Course-Thinking-Edward-Bono/dp/...) when I was a UCLA undergrad in the late 1960s. The subsequent days were among the most exciting of my life up to then, as I pushed myself as hard as I've ever done to solve each day's problem.

Amazon review:

"This book actually contains three 5-day courses, each dealing with a different style of thinking. The focus of the book is directed less towards the solving of the problems, than at helping you understand your approach, and through this awareness, improve your thinking abilities.

"Each course sets a practical hands-on problem that requires no specialist knowledge or maths. Throughout the five days it builds what begins as a tricky challenge into one more difficult than you would have imagined being able to solve. En route, De Bono offers insights into the problem solving process and pointers to areas you might explore to illuminate your own thought processes.

"The three courses look at insight, sequential, and strategic thinking. De Bono succeeds in creating an entertaining learning environment. Readers will enjoy the challenges set and will gain valuable insights from their thinking about their thinking.

"Sample Problem
As a taster, this is the first puzzle of the book.

"Place three bottles upright on the floor to form a triangle where the distance between the bases of the bottles is slightly larger than the length of a knife. Use three identical knives to form a platform on top of the bottles to support a full glass of water. No part of any knife may touch the floor."

Great stuff. R.I.P.
Is a stop sign really the same shape and colour as a speed limit sign in the USA?

No, but some of these sign reading algorithms probably don't take color and shape into account. A naive implementation might first checks the sign for something that can be OCRed, and if it finds that that is a 2 digit number that matches known speed limits then it's a speed limit.
“In Europe there is no need for that”, are you really sure, Mike?

If you have a car with speed sign recognition, and activated cruise control, it would definitely slow down, albeit slowly.
They really do make things worse and worse and worse. Related to your playlist example - saving an actual album I liked as a new playlist would give it a default title, "artist - album title" or something like that. Fine, 2 clicks: create the playlist, and accept the title.

Now? A blank text box. "Let's ignore the artist and album this user's basing a playlist on and make them type the whole thing from memory". I just don't bother any more, which seems petty but it's just so cumbersome, from mobile especially.
OH ok in that case I agree.
How does this nonsensical example refute or even address my argument?
>Go to page 9 and see what was mandated for that: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/pdf/community_mit...

Interesting how COVID has killed more people than the "projected" (though how confident these projections are, who knows) number. And of course, that's with us taking stricter precautions than some of the suggestions.
why is there a window? people report recovery after several years with an appropriate treatment.
I just want to compliment the OP on a very clear and comprehensive website at https://imba.io/. It clearly explains (by showing and telling) what Imba is, why I should care, how it works and how to get started. The floating demo applications even work well on mobile. Rare to see this level of polish for these things.
Afaik Clear Linux is the one using Intel's proprietary compiler optimized for Intel CPUs (so it's theoretically generating more efficient code)
Assuming your win rate goes from 2% -> 4%, you need around 200 samples to be 90% confident that something is up, 270 to be 95% confident, and 450 to be 99% confident, if you start with a Beta(2, 98) prior. Obviously results will change somewhat depending on the model.
No. I have thought about this. Maybe for things I don't want to badge as work. It's interesting to put ideas out there but there is also an implied arrogance anyone would want to read. Work socialises the writing and it's purposeful so less "ego" drive driven but I'd be lying if I said blogging for work was ego free.

I'm also much more aware now about the commitment. Willing readers deserve regular content. That's effort. I've learned it pays to bank writing for the bad days when you're blocked. Building a bank takes time.

Create a conspiracy so out-landish it out-competes the legitimate concerns for attention and burns out people’s patience for listening. There must be multiple PR firms that have this strategy down pat, is there a name for it yet?

Ask HN: Preparations for FAANG Job

I have a general skepticism when it comes to decentralization of social media. It's not on the concept per-se which is great, but how it's:

1) Marketed or viewed as something inferior. Eg. Diaspora (https://joindiaspora.com/) went downhill the moment it was announced that it had received funding from Mark Zuckerberg.

2) Operated as the competitor of a mainstream and centralised platform. The centralised platforms are good at building networks and if that task is added on the user to complete, it cannot become a viable competitor. Eg. you have to develop your own network - you cannot be plug-and-play in real sense

3) Run as non-profit, mainstream alternative. That way, it's just there and not useful at all.

Associating Twitter and this initiative again moves it on the same path. They have something to show to the federal government for brownie points but deep-down, they also know how it'll end up.
I'm so happy to see this. My dad suffered from Lyme's for years. He died 3 months ago due to Lyme's related complications. I really hope more people don't have to go what he went through.

It's also comforting (I'm a misery loves company kind of way) to know other other people are dealing with, and trying to fight, the disease. It makes dealing with everything feel a bit less lonely
Restructured the boot sequence and probably stripped everything which did not fit in a server / cloud context, also mayhaps removed everything which was not necessary from the base. Not unlike openbsd.
> a relatively uncommon treatment for Lyme in which doctors siphon some blood, blast it with electromagnetic waves, and then drip it back into the bloodstream

That's a weird description, depending on what kind of waves this could be anything from microwaving the blood to blasting it with UV or just shining some rainbow coloured lights on it.

> Reminds me of the entire clusterfuck around the AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine, with the difference that politicians this time at least pushed for getting vaccinated simply to stop the pandemic.

The media in the UK (Especially the BBC) tried to gaslight the British public with the AZ vaccine and using the 'tHErE iS moStLy nO eVIdEncE' trick repeatedly whilst the reports and concerns of blood clots forming in young people kept increasing.

It was enough from them to not recommend the AstraZeneca vaccine to them and instead give them Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
You're not really responding to the comment. The comment is that it should link to the release notes if it keeps the title OR it can link to the blogpost with a different title.

I did not notice an objection to linking to a mega corporation.
“Better compiler options” don’t translate to a 10x lower “time to accessible”.
Imba looks great!
Now that v2 is out, what would you say are your priorities regarding Imba? Is there a roadmap somewhere?
Woah. An article with MW and MWh in the subheading.

They're running a 2:1 capacity vs power ratio, so this is likely a demand smoothing installation rather than a demand shifting one.
Really hope you are right, that more normal non-tech user will start stop using google and all their services. Whenever a company monopolise product and services is not good for end users.
I wonder if EFI boot with something like efistub would be a even faster. Afaik EC2 BIOS boots which has some fixed overhead (although Clear Linux still manages to boot very quickly)

Also on boot, I /think/ EC2 pulls down the AMI to EBS from S3 so theoretically smaller AMIs might be faster but not sure

> Reminder of the Thalidomide drug

Bringing up Thalidomide / Contergan in a discussion on current medicine is the best indication that you don‘t have the least idea on the topic.
All rules and tests that eg the Biontech-Vaccine had to pass (and has passed) have been installed _after_ and _because_ of the Thalidomide catastrophy.
Bringing up the topic of Thalidomide exactly disproves any point you are thinking you make, because the level of safety in medicine we have today has been raised to a level incomparable to what we had with Thalidomide.

What you are saying instead is: “Current medicine must be _very_ safe because todays‘ safety protocols are so much higher than what we had back then.“
Does social media have a part in this? People have to keep up with “influencer” trends?
I've come across a few places that accept contactless, but specifically reject Google and Apple Pay, and until recently, none of my cards had contactless built in, so Google Pay was the only way to do contactless. But, I have a Samsung phone with MST, so I can fake a swipe. Amusingly, the terminals that won't do contactless Google Pay happily accept the same with the magnetic reader.
